An Angelina Jolie super-fan underwent 50 surgeries in order to look like her idol -but she was not the first person to go to extreme lengths to emulate their hero. While Sahar Tabar, 19 and from Tehran, Iran, dreamed of looking like Angelina, twin brothers Matt and Mike Schlepp, from Arizona, spent £15,000 on cosmetic surgery in a bid to look like her ex-partner Brad Pitt. The pair endured months of agonising procedures that left them unable to eat proper meals as they desperately tried to change their appearance.

What we are likely to see in the future and not even the long-term future is a time where the fractional ownership of art becomes more attainable and just as attainable as the ownership models some aircraft manufacturers have been encouraging for years with their own fractional ownership programs. Twenty people buy the use of an aircraft and the person who has the most invested gets the aircraft for the most time and each share a proportionate cost of keeping it in the air. Art was tokenised for the first time in 2018 and no matter which tech-summit you attended last year, there was always at least one breakout session at every summit where the subject of Blockchain was being discussed.

Mr Vaghela's entry into the NCP can lead to a three-way fight on a few Lok Sabha seats (File) Former Gujarat Chief Minister Shankarsinh Vaghela is set to join the Nationalist Congress Party, the state unit of the Sharad Pawar-led party said on Thursday. The 78-year-old leader had left the Congress before the 2017 Gujarat assembly elections. He had then helped the BJP in the Rajya Sabha polls. "Former Chief Minister of Gujarat Shankarsinh Vaghela will join NCP in presence of party president Sharad Pawar and senior leader Praful Patel," Gujarat NCP president Jayant Patel alias Boski said. "Vaghela ji is a dynamic leader who knows the pulse of state and the country. I welcome his entry into the NCP and it will give a boost to the party in the state,"he said. The former union minister is likely to join the NCP on January 29, the party sources said. However, Mr Vaghela has so far neither confirmed nor denied that he will join the NCP. Mr Vaghela's entry into the NCP can lead to a three-way fight on a few Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat if the Congress fails to enter into a pre-poll alliance with Mr Pawar's party. The state has 26 Lok Sabha seats and all of them were won by the BJP in the 2014 general elections. Mr Vaghela had left the Congress before the 2017 state assembly polls, after he and a few lawmakers supporting him voted against Congress candidate for the Rajya Sabha, Ahmed Patel and backed BJP nominee Balwantsinh Rajput. Mr Vaghela, however, did not join the ruling

BJP and put up independent candidates in the state assembly elections held in December 2017. All his candidates had lost polls. Recently, Mr Vaghela had toured various places, including Delhi, and declared that he will fight for removal of the BJP-led government at the centre in 2019. In 2017, the Congress and the NCP had fought assembly elections separately. The NCP was able to win just one seat in the 182-member assembly. If in 2019, both the parties fail to reach a seat- sharing agreement, then it will be a three-way fight on some Lok Sabha seats where Mr Vaghela and his supporters will contest as NCP candidates, the party sources said. Mr Vaghela is a prominent OBC leader, who started his political career with the BJP. After the BJP came to powerin 1995 in Gujarat and chose to make Keshubhai Patel chief minister instead of him, Mr Vaghela engineered a split in the saffron outfit and became the CM in 1996 with outside support of the Congress. Later, he joined the Congress and served as Textile Minister in the Manmohan Singh government. While in the Congress, he also served as its state unit president and Leader of Opposition in the Gujarat assembly.

other conduits. Firestops are also used to fill joint gaps that occur between walls, between a ceiling and the head-of-wall joints. So-called head-of-wall joints pose a number of challenges for the fireproofing industry. Walls are increasingly being made of gypsum wallboard affixed to a framework of metal studs capped by a horizontally extending track. Ceilings are increasingly being made by pouring concrete onto fluted steel. Although the distance between the horizontally extending track at the top of the wall is often fixed in relationship to the ceiling, the gypsum wallboards are subject to expansion and contraction due to motion of other building components, ground settling, or other causes. In order to contain the spread of smoke and fire, a fire resistant material such as, for example, mineral wool is oftenthe header track, on the legs (hereinafter also referred to as a flange) of the header track or alternatively wraps around a corner of the header track, extending both along a portion of a web of the header track and a flange of the header track. The intumescent material advantageously is held in place between the web of the header track and the floor or ceiling above the wall. When exposed to a sufficient temperature, the intumescent material expands to fill gaps at the head-of-wall. The portion of the intumescent trapped between the header track and the floor or ceiling ensures that the intumescent stays in place as it expands and does not become dislodged as a result of the expansion. With the use of such fire-resistant material, the

as her eyes slid over his face, as smiling, assured, with just the right note of fervor, he made his declaration and request. She was astonished. Was it possible? Was it really this man that she had thought, even wished, she could marry? He was, it was plain, certain of being accepted, as he was always certain of acceptance, of adulation, in any and every place that he deigned to honor with his presence. Well, Helga was thinking, that wasn't as much his fault as her own, her aunt's, everyone's. He was spoiled, childish almost. To his words, once she had caught their content and recovered from her surprise, Helga paid not much attention. They would, she knew, be absolutely appropriate ones, and they didn't at all matter. They meant We affirm the convictions on all counts. I. BACKGROUND 2 In May 1988 Officers Ronald T. Washington and Kevin Rice of the Metropolitan Police Department stopped Bailey's car after noticing that it had no front license plate and no inspection sticker. Officer Washington asked Bailey for his driver's license but Bailey instead handed him a District of Columbia identification card. Officer Washington then ordered Bailey to get out of his car. As Bailey exited the car, Officer Washington saw him push something between the seat and the front console. Upon searching the passenger compartment, Officer Washington found one round of ammunition and 27 plastic bags containing a total of 30 grams of cocaine. After placing Bailey under arrest, Officer Rice

of the drugs." Id. (footnote omitted). 22 Here, in contrast, the cocaine packaged for sale and the $3,216 in small bills in the trunk logically support the inference that Bailey had already been dealing drugs from his car. And the loaded gun in the trunk was sufficiently accessible to have been used to protect a prior distribution effected outside the confines of the passenger compartment of the car. 23 In protecting such an earlier distribution of drugs, the gun was necessarily used also to protect Bailey's earlier possession of cocaine. As he walked from his car to the point of sale, like any drug dealer he was constantly in danger of being attacked by bandits or by a potential customer. Until the actual sale,Resident and Non-Resident Mares Resident and Non-Resident Mares The rules are simple and effectively create two categories of mares: resident and non-resident. To qualify for registration as a New York-bred, the mare must FOAL in New York State and meet the domicile requirements specified below. Please note that mare residency is determined on a foal-by-foal basis. Resident Mares: Must be continuously in residence in New York State from within 90 days after last cover in the year of conception, and thereafter remain in residence until FOALING the following year, with no breed-back required. Mares that maintain their residency status can be covered each season by a stallion located anywhere in the world. Non-Resident Mares: In order for her foal to be eligible to be registered as a NY-bred, a non-resident mare must

be considered a resident mare regarding her in-utero foal. “Leave of absence” – A mare may be removed from the state up to fifteen (15) days before the commencement of the sale and stay for the duration of the sale, but must be returned to New York State no longer than fifteen (15) days after the sale has concluded. Jockey Club Certification Please note that no horse can be registered as a NY-bred without first receiving certification from the Jockey Club.

And, boy, do I like making snowballs. So I checked out their site and brought In the City of Dreadful Night from iTunes to hear for myself and was blown away. From the fusion spin on traditional Indian chant in "The Gayatri Mantra" to the smooth-to-edgy variations in "Heroes" to her darkly whimsical jazz croon of "Rats," lead singer Chandrika "Chandy" Nath gives a strong and varied performance on this album, with strong instrumental support from band members Joel (Guitar & Sitar), Kat Arney (Harp, Clarinet(s),Spoons), Matthew Sarkar (Tabla - though recently Rahul

Ghosh has taken his place), Melon (Bass), Chemise (Guitar), and Scot Jowett (Drums). Recently, I had the pleasure of talking with Chandy—with the occasional pop-in answer from Joel—about their music, their band, and their views on steampunk. Hello & welcome to Beyond Victoriana! Chandy: Hello and thanks for inviting me! Let's start by telling us about where you're from, how you became interested in music, and any musical training you'd like to mention. Chandy: Where I’m from—that’s a complicated one. I was born in the town of Hartlepool in the North East of England (Industrial heart of the Victorian world! Sadly those days are gone…). My parents were newly arrived in Hartlepool from the town of Hospet in South India, and a local family took them under their wing. So I was broughtup in an environment that was a cross between Geordie and South India. These two cultures have a lot more in common than you think—effusive hospitality and a great fondness for food for example. Hartlepool is famous for hanging a monkey during the Napoleonic wars, thinking he was a Frenchman. I have been surrounded by music my earliest years, listening to my mother singing Carnatic music (Classical music from South India) to the sounds of sizzling spices in the kitchen, and my Dad chanting Sanskrit mantras every morning and evening.I sang along to hymns at school every morning and to musicals like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the Wizard of Oz, and Oliver Twist every evening. I didn’t take well to music training as a kid—I hated giving up my

band... and found an old ad of Chandy's on the net somewhere. For a while it was the four of us, then I met Goshi in a Weatherspoons in Cambridge (2002ish). My mates failure at trying to impress a pretty girl who was sitting on Goshi's lap with my new found knowledge of indian music got Goshi and I trading numbers ... Chemise had played in rockbands with mel when he was 18 in his hometown of Dunnmow... he joined when he moved to Cambridge (2002) and hit it off with me (at first we were writing acuostic duets together)... Scott joined recently through another band Mel was playing in in Cambridge....also Goshi left us in 2003 to study for five years in Edinburgh, when he returned we werethe Victorian era—brings these two worlds together and has created a vibrant community of articulate, imaginative and open minded people—a hotbed for new ideas. At the moment Steampunk draws heavily on the Victorian age founded on colonialism and the wealth of the empire. This is a period full of inconsistencies and contradictions for me. I grew up trying to make sense of tales of the heroic feats of the Duke of Wellington on the one hand and on the other, of the suffering and cruelty inflicted on Tipu Sultan. So for me it is important to reconcile two sides of a story and to understand and actually celebrate the shared heritage of Britain and India. Steampunk offers a new way of looking at this period.

are not one of MSNBC’s “protected groups.” It’s worth noting that the six Catholic justices on the Supreme Court rarely reach any kind of consensus, unless it is a consensus shared by the whole court. Reid bases her argument of religious bias on literally nothing at all but her own prejudice. One suspects it’s because of the desperation the Left has over the Hobby Lobby case and the HHS mandate in general, but it may just be that Reid has a bias against Catholics in public life apart from this, too. The historical ignorance of Reid and other 21st Century American citizens, born into a nation whose Founders' revolutionary passion for individual liberty, largely derived from their religious beliefs, now allows Reid and other "progressives" to spout their ignorance, protectedby a Constitution which protects their free speech. They would do well to familiarize themselves with the foundations of thought from which their freedoms were derived. A good beginning for her might be to know who John Adams was, his role in the adoption of our Declaration of Independence, and his beliefs about the qualities which might be most desirable in America's leaders if liberty was to be preserved.

Tuesday, March 31, 2015 Down on his luck and financially strapped low budget horror filmmaker Mandalor is the laughing stock of the film community. His films are terrible and the contrived, poorly done gore-effects make them unintentional comedies of the cinema. When he presents his latest effort to sleazy, exploitation film producer Gelstein of Gorrific Pictures with the hopes of getting a distribution deal, he is laughed out of the screening room. The ever-determined Mandalor, along with his trusty hunch-backed cinematographer Rodney, set out to do another horror film but during the course of filming, as he tries in vain to direct an intoxicated and uncooperative actress he accidentally kills her. Rodney captures the dastardly deed on camera and Mandalor includes the graphic footage in his film and screens it to an impressed and delighted Gelstein who offers him a multi-picture deal toPie or a bootlegged Donald, it might be an attempt at a generic cartoon bird but, whatever, it is not a good attempt. He finishes his Coke, head back, Adam’s apple prominent on his long throat that is mottled by the heat and by the bothering ruff of nylon feathers. He drops the can into a bin by Islington Green and continues his measured walk northward, a huge string puppet loping up the Essex Road. After a while he turns into a strange, winding little park, narrow and punctuated by man-made rock formations. In the quiet away from the main road he can hear children’s voices and, as he reaches the gate of the park, he sees them, a dozen little kids in an old-fashioned playground, a rare playground without chipped tree bark on the ground or machines made

of minimalist tubing and sustainable timber. This park has missed its make-over, it has swings and a multi-coloured, sharp-edged helter-skelter, and the kid at the top of this sees the duck man and points, yells something to another kid. Not wanting to disappoint a playground full of children, the man puts on the head and walks at the same loose, easy pace, past the swings and the slide, waving to his audience. The kids wave back and some of them follow him to the gate where mothers and fathers turn them back, stop them going any further. Duck Man walks on, plastic bag swinging, and, despite the heat, he doesn’t bother to take off the head, not even when he has turned left, out of sight of the playground and into a complex of tall red brick buildingsable to add an OBI strip (to make the album look and feel like it came out in Japan in 1989), emboss the cover of the album (just like the cover of the Famicom box), and print physical copies of our liner note booklet.

trends and other important factors to keep in mind when you enter your own personal Draft Room are born now. And they don't die. Let's prove the point. Here are some notes we gleaned from our mock drafts from Feb. 2010 and Aug. 2010: • Of the 180 players drafted in February, 91 moved up or down at least 12 spots (one round) in August. • Of those 91 players who moved up or down at least 12 spots in February, 30 were undrafted in August. It should be said here that nine rookies were taken in August, so they were responsible for about a third of the early-drafted players getting the boot. • Of the remaining 61 players who moved up or down at least 12 spots in February, 21 movedup -- gained value -- come August. That means two-thirds of those players who had significant movement -- 40 total -- lost value. • Here's where you need to pay attention: Of the players drafted in the first seven rounds (84 players) of February's draft, 18 moved down at least 12 spots, four moved up at least 12 spots and none went undrafted come August. By comparison, of the last 36 players drafted in February, 20 weren't picked again in August and only two made a leap. What does this mean? For starters, owners could conceivably begin making judgments on the elite players available on Draft Day -- those top players who go in the first seven rounds or so. Established, talented players don't see their value change much during

Among the real-life Norwegian phenomena made gentle fun of in the 2012-14 Netflix series Lilyhammer, starring Steven Van Zandt as a New York mobster who has moved to Norway under the Witness Protection Program, were natteravnene — the “night ravens,” groups of unarmed citizen volunteers, including little old ladies, who patrol the night streets to talk wayward youths out of breaking the law. The concept is a quaint one, originating in a time when virtually all crimes committed in the middle of the Norwegian night were petty misdemeanors and when the perpetrators were Norwegian kids who, if confronted on the verge of a transgression by somebody their parents’ or grandparents’ age, could be expected to hang their heads in shame and go home. No more: last Saturday night, ato the Soviet era — President Reagan, in 1988, giving a pathbreaking address to students at Moscow State University in which he explained how freedom works; dissident Vladimir Bukovsky being interviewed by William F. Buckley on Firing Line shortly after his 1976 expulsion from the USSR. How poignant to see those glimpses of life during the Cold War, when the West — including Norway, a proud NATO member — stood foursquare for liberty and most of the poor souls trapped behind the Iron Curtain barely understood the meaning of the word. Well, times have changed. In response to Islamization, Western Europe is trimming its freedoms (as demonstrated last Friday by Theresa May’s admission, during Question Time in the House of Commons, that free speech needs to be balanced out

Polling in the race between Cunningham and Tillis has been scarce since the March 3 primary, but what surveys there are show a close match-up. An East Carolina University poll conducted in late February found Tillis leading Cunningham by 2 points, while an NBC News-Marist poll fielded days earlier showed Cunningham ahead by 5 points. Unlike 2018, when the last round of Senate elections were held, Republicans are largely playing defense in 2020, with incumbents in Maine, North Carolina, Arizona and Colorado facing tough reelection bids.

in an odd-numbered frame, for example, a gradation voltage (indicated by “•” in FIG. 30), having a negative polarity relative to the common voltage (Vcom) being applied to the common electrode, is applied from a drain driver to an odd-numbered drain signal line; whereas, a gradation voltage (indicated by “∘” in FIG. 30), having a positive polarity relative to the common voltage (Vcom) being applied to the common electrode, is applied to an even-numbered drain signal line. Further, at an even-numbered line in an odd-numbered frame, a positive gradation voltage is applied from the drain driver to an odd-numbered drain signal line, and a negative gradation voltage is applied to an even-numbered drain signal line. In addition, the polarity per each line is inverted for each frame. More specifically,as shown in FIG. 30, at an odd-numbered line of an even-numbered frame, a positive gradation voltage is applied from the drain driver to an odd-numbered drain signal line, and a negative gradation voltage is applied to an even-numbered drain signal line. Further, at an even-numbered line of the even-numbered frame, a negative gradation voltage is applied from the drain driver to an odd-numbered drain signal line, and a positive gradation voltage is applied to an even-numbered drain signal line. By use of this dot inversion method, the voltages that are applied to neighboring drain signal lines are opposite in polarity to each other. Thus, it is possible to permit adjacent ones of the currents flowing in common electrodes and/or the gate electrodes of thin-film transistors (TFT) to cancel

that choir music has calming effects on the heart — especially when sung in unison. Using pulse monitors attached to the singers' ears, the researchers measured the changes in the choir members' heart rates as they navigated the intricate harmonies of a Swedish hymn. When the choir began to sing, their heart rates slowed down. "When you sing the phrases, it is a form of guided breathing," says musicologist Bjorn Vickhoff of the Sahlgrenska Academy who led the project. "You exhale on the phrases and breathe in between the phrases. When you exhale, the heart slows down." But what really struck him was that it took almost no time at all for the singers' heart rates to become synchronized. The readout from the pulse monitors starts as a jumble of jaggedlessees of the grade level store in the building and employers of Rios. The third party complaint alleged an indemnity agreement and failure of the third party defendants to tender a defense in the original action. The original action was dismissed by stipulation of the parties following a settlement of Rios' claim for $22,000.00, the order of dismissal specifically providing that the third party action was not to be prejudiced by such dismissal.

In the past year changes continue to occur in the health evaluation during the first morning for the participants in the BLSA. A major effort was made to complete the development of a new set of health questionnaires. The questionnaire consists of two parts and was implemented as of March 1, 1991. It is a more thorough review of the participants's health status. The introduction of both parts at the same visit, has markedly increased the time taken for the health evaluation, and the time required to complete and sign out the charts. A revised physical examination protocol has been completed, but implementation has had to be delayed because of the new questionnaire.Nov 18, 2009 Bender Bending Rodríguez, designated Bending Unit 22, is a fictional robot character in the animated television series Futurama. In the series, Bender plays the role of a comic anti-hero, and is described by Leela as an "alcoholic, whore-mongering, chain-smoking gambler". He was built in Mexico and is said to possess a "swarthy Latin charm" despite not having a Mexican accent. He is also prejudiced against non-robots, often expressing an urge to "kill all humans".

LARAMIE — All Mel Hamilton ever wanted was to make a difference in students’ lives. Whether it was college students at Wyoming, his alma mater, or Casper’s East Junior High School, where he was a principal, Hamilton wanted to educate. He wanted to have an impact. Yet, somehow, he wasn’t terribly shocked when he woke up one winter morning in 1999 to see someone had drawn three sixes in the snow outside his home. That teachers referred to him as “monkey this and monkey that” and even worse racist language he felt was more sad than infuriating. As a new principal, he had tried to get rid of half a dozen teachers whom he didn’t believe were doing their jobs well. However, it was more than that. He knew it. Hamiltonwas preparing to play BYU at War Memorial the next day. The players had a question. Could they wear black armbands in silent protest? The year before, in their victory at BYU, they said Cougars players taunted them with racial epithets. The Wyoming players had also learned that the Mormon Church, which BYU represents, did not allow African-Americans in the priesthood. This was America, 1969. The year before, Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy were assassinated. The Vietnam War raged, and so did antiwar protests. But this was also Wyoming, 1969. Eaton, citing a policy against protests, a rule no player had heard of, said no. He then kicked all 14 off the team for the rest of the season. Only three would play for Wyoming again. “We knew how Lloyd Eaton

four offensive and three defensive starters, plus three key reserves. Williams was the lone senior. A year later, Wyoming fell to 1-9, after which Eaton resigned. The coach never discussed the incident again — except with his wife, Dolly. “He was not bitter,” said Dolly from Nampa, Idaho, where she and her husband moved in retirement. He died two years ago of a stroke at age 88. “He had a good conscience about it,” Dolly said. “All the people thought like he did. You should not make fun or criticize another religion.” She does not think her husband’s ruling crippled Wyoming football, but the Cowboys had trouble recruiting African-American players for many years, and had but one winning season in the 1970s. They didn’t win another outright WAC title until 1987. Church changesits policy While this story has a sad beginning, it has a happy ending, and not because 4-5 Wyoming has an improved football team. Nearly all the Black 14 earned degrees and had successful careers. But the biggest victories came off the field. A year after the Black 14, the first African-American played for BYU. In 1978, the Mormon Church dropped its policy excluding African-Americans from priesthood. As it turns out, the Black 14’s legacy is greater than any bowl victory. “No doubt about it,” Hamilton said. “Historically, people had to suffer to get the true legacy of their actions. If we went back on the team, nobody would remember that.” It all hit home with Hamilton one day 10 years ago. His son, Malik, was attending Utah State and had some news

A platinum NBA All-Star ring was among the items stolen from the Geist home of Pacers player Paul George on Monday night. Police were called to George's home on Diamond Pointe Drive just before midnight on a report of theft. According to the police report, the theft happened between 7:15 and 11:45 p.m. When George's parents, who also live at the home, returned to the house late Monday night, they noticed drawers and cabinets were open throughout the home. An alarm on the door of the wine room was also going off, police said. Police said there are no signs of forced entry at the home. George's parents said they didn't lock the door when they left the home earlier in the evening, because they didn't have a key. The home's alarmsystem was also not set, police said. When the Georges got home, a door in the rear of the house was open, along with a balcony door in the master bedroom. More than $15,000 worth of jewelry and shoes was taken in the burglary, police said. Among the missing items: a 2014 Paul George NBA platinum All Star ring with diamonds, 15 watches and a pair of Air Jordan 4 "Toro" shoes. About $20 cash was also taken from the home. Investigators said they are reviewing surveillance footage from the property. In an unrelated incident, George was also the focus of some unwanted attention Monday morning after video of a fan who was heard heckling him during the broadcast of Monday night's game against Atlanta went viral.

sea, after the felucca. Turning our eyes in the direction of the report, we saw a frigate running down upon the felucca, carrying studding-sails on both sides, with the water foaming up to her hawse-holes. As she passed our stern, she showed an English ensign, but took no other notice of us, continuing on after the felucca, and occasionally measuring her distance with a shot. Both vessels soon disappeared in the mist, though we heard guns for some time. As for ourselves, we jogged along on our course, wishing good luck to the Englishman. The felucca showed no ensign, the whole day. Our guineas were found, some weeks later, in a bread-locker, after we had fairly eaten our way down to them. The other adventure occurred very soon after this escape; for, though the felucca may have had a commission,drowned had not the Mediterranean cast me ashore, as if disdaining to take a life of so little value to anybody but myself. After lying several weeks at Almeria, the ship got under way for England again. We had fresh westerly gales, and beat to and fro, between Europe and Africa, for some time, when we got a Levanter that shoved us out into the Atlantic at a furious rate. In the Straits we passed a squadron of Portuguese frigates, that was cruising against the Algerines. It was the practice of these ships to lie at the Rock until it blew strong enough from the eastward to carry vessels through the Gut, when they weighed and kept in the offing until the wind shifted. This was blockading the Atlantic against their enemies, and the Mediterranean against their own ships. We had

Little York, and that will do for both of us to stow ourselves away under." Tom went down and got the rug, which was an article for the camp that he had laid hands on, and it made us a capital bed-quilt. As all hands were pretty well tired, we lay down, with our heads on shot-boxes, and soon went to sleep. In speaking of the canvass that was set, I ought to have said something of the state of our decks. The guns had the side-tackles fastened as I have mentioned. There was a box of canister, and another of grape, at each gun, besides extra stands of both, under the shot-racks. There was also one grummet of round-shot at every gun, besides the racks being filled. Each gun's crew slept at the gun and its opposite,moved a few yards, and must have got over the spot where the schooner went down. Here, in the flashes, I saw many heads, the men swimming in confusion, and at random. By this time, little was said, the whole scene being one of fearful struggling and frightful silence. It still rained; but the flashes were less frequent, and less fierce. They told me, afterwards, in the squadron, that it thundered awfully; but I cannot say I heard a clap, after I struck the water. The next man caught the boat himself. It was a mulatto, from Martinique, who was Mr. Osgood's steward; and I helped him in. He was much exhausted, though an excellent swimmer; but alarm nearly deprived him of his strength. He kept saying, "Oh! Masser Ned--Oh! Masser Ned!" and lay down in the bottom of

was ready, in all respects, for action. Some seamen have thought this wrong, and some right; but, in my opinion, it made but little difference in such a gust as that which passed over us. What was remarkable, the Julia, which could not have been far from the Scourge when we went over, felt no great matter of wind, just luffing up, and shaking her sails, to be rid of it! We lay only one night off the mouth of the Niagara. The next morning the squadron weighed, and stood out in pursuit of the English. The weather was very variable, and we could not get within reach of Sir James all that day. This was the 9th of August. The Scourge had gone down on the night of the 7th, or the morning of the 8th, Ithat had come into the Harbour. While in this vessel, our boat's crew were "hail-fellows-well-met" with the Englishmen, and we had agreed among us to take care of each other, should either side happen to be taken. I had been on board the Royal George but a short time, when two of these very men came up to me with some grog and some grub; and next morning they brought me my bitters. I saw no more of them, however, except when they came to shake hands with us at the gang-way, as we were leaving the ship. After breakfast, next morning, we were all called aft to the ward-room, one at a time. I was pumped as to the force of the Americans, the names of the vessels, the numbers of the crews, and the names of

triumph. We were eighteen hundred prisoners in all; though not very well off for officers. About fifty of us entered into the plan, at first; nor did we let in any recruits for something like six weeks. A Mr. Crowninshield, of Salem, was the head man among as, he having been an officer in a privateer. There were a good many privateer officers in the prison, but they were berthed over-head, and were intended to be separated from us at night. The floor was lifted between us, however, and we held our communications by these means. The officers came down at night, and lent us a hand with the work. The scheme was very simple, though I do not think it was at all difficult of execution. The black-hole cells were beneath the prison, and we broke through the floor,in, and sailed again, for the Texel, in three weeks. Our passage to Europe was two hundred and eleven days, but we met with no accident. At the Texel I found two letters from New York, one being from Sarah, and the other from a female friend. Sarah was married to the very silversmith who had engraven our names on the thimble! This man saw her for the first time, when she carried that miserable thimble to him, fell in love with her, and, being in good circumstances, her friends prevailed on her to have him. Her letter to me admitted her error, and confessed her unhappiness; but there was no remedy. I did not like the idea of returning to New York, under the circumstances, and resolved to quit the ship. I got my discharge, therefore, from

built of teak, and had been a frigate in the Portuguese service. She was so old no one knew exactly when she was built, but sailed like a witch. Her crew consisted principally of Lascars, with a few Europeans and <DW64>s, as is usual in those craft. My wages did not amount to much in dollars, but everything was so cheap, they counted up in the long run. I had perquisites, too, which amounted to something handsome. They kept a very good table. The Hope had a good deal of opium, when I joined her, and it was all to be smuggled before we sailed. As this trade has made a great deal of noise, latterly, I will relate the manner in which we disposed of the drug. Of the morality of this species of commerce, I havethe harbour, and some of us were called on to volunteer. Forty-five of us did so, and went on board the sloop. After the Warren got under way, we went to quarters, manning both batteries. In this manner we stood down between the two French brigs, with top-gallant-sails furled and the courses in the brails. We passed directly between the two brigs, keeping a broadside trained upon each; but nothing was said, or done, to us. We anchored first at the Rock, but next day crossed over to the Spanish coast. In a short time we returned to Mahon, and we volunteers went back to the Delaware. The two brigs had gone, but there was still a considerable French force in port. Nothing came of the difficulty, however, so far as I could see or hear. In the season of

if he gets hurt, he is pensioned. Then he is pretty certain of having gentlemen over him, and that is a great deal for any man. He has good quarters below; and if he serve in a ship as large as a frigate, he has a cover over his head, half the time, at least, in bad weather. This is the honest opinion of one who has served in all sorts of crafts, liners, Indiamen, coasters, smugglers, whalers, and transient ships. I have been in a ship of the line, two frigates, three sloops of war, and several smaller craft; and such is the result of all my experience in Uncle Sam's navy. No man can go to sea and always meet with fair-weather, but he will get as little of foul in one of our vessels ofwhere I had another frolic. After this, I went on to Washington, keeping it up, the whole distance. I fell in with a soldier chap, who was out of cash, and who was going to Washington to get a pension, too; and so we lived in common. When we reached Washington, my cash was diminished to three dollars and a half, and all was the consequences of brandy and folly. I had actually spent forty-six dollars and a half, in a journey that might have been made with ten, respectably! I got my travelling companion to recommend a boarding-house, which he did. I felt miserable from my excesses, and went to bed. In the morning, the three dollars and a half were gone. I felt too ill to go to the Department that day, but kept on drinking--eating

to get ashore on liberty that night, and razee the house from which I had been turned away. But I persuaded them out of the notion, and the landlord went clear. Alter a while, I got a direction to a boarding-house near the Yard, and went to it, with a message from my old shipmates that they would be responsible for the pay. But to this the man would not listen; he took me in on my own account, saying that no blue-jacket should be turned from _his_ door, in distress. Here I staid and got a comfortable night's rest. Next day I was a new man, holy-stoned the decks, and went a second time to the Department. All the gentlemen in the office showed a desire to serve and advise me. The Pension Clerk gave me a lettersailed for Samarang. While at Sourabaya there were five English sailors in the hospital. These men were as forlorn and miserable as my self, death grinning in our faces at every turn. The men who were brought into the hospital one day, were often dead the next, and none of us knew whose turn would come next. We often talked together, on religious subjects, after our own uninstructed manner, and greatly did we long to find an English bible, a thing not to be had there. Then it was I thought, again, of the sermon I had heard at the Sailors' Retreat, of the forfeited promises I had made to reform; and, more than once did it cross my mind, should God permit me to return home, that I would seek out that minister, and ask his prayers

Mr. Garrison assigns the boys learn out about Vietnam from somebody they know. Stan's Uncle Jimbo and his friend Ned tell the boys their outrageous tale. Mr. Garrison doesn't believe the boy's report and gives them detention. They plot revenge against Stan's Uncle by submitting a phony video of the Mexican Staring Frog of Southern Sri Lanka to them.

I'd search for hours to find something I didn't like about this episode, and still come up nothing. 960/1000 Strangely innocent fun from the early years, with some great characters (Jimbo and Ned, Jesus) who are hardly used anymore.

Lord Fairfax Community College and Germanna Community College, which share responsibility for serving this rural county, recently combined their resources to improve their service levels. A renovated barn was donated to the schools, providing classroom and office space. This made it possible for the colleges to offer day classes, as well as the night courses offered at the local high school. Public interest in expanding the number of programs and the physical plant were instrumental in initiating a study of the future space potential of "The Barn" and the need for additional facilities.

They've done Sandor a terrible disservice in the show. He is barely a character, much less one you can apply a morality to. It is best not to dwell on him too long. Click to expand... He's alright. The thing about the show is it has so many characters, some are going to be lost in the shuffle (and while Sandor is a fan favourite, he's not that big in terms of the actual amount of time he has in the books.) I'd say Sansa's been hurt a bit more. The way I see it, Jaime has paid his penance for tossing Bran from the window. He has lost his hand, which was essential for his swordsmanship, his claim to fame. He, like Bran, is now a cripple. We can stopdwelling on that, and allow him to grow as a character. Yeah, and after Cersei essentially sent him out for the slaughter, don't you think she and her dear son would remember the "dog" that tried to go over their heads.

A 2014 study from a Northwestern Medicine review of research noted that anywhere from 25% to 75% of queer people experience physical, sexual, or psychological harm in their relationships. It was difficult not to think of this statistic while watching an all-female cast perform the play — a tragedy culminating in the murder of not one, but two wives at the hands of their partners. As part of The Public Theater's Public Forum Drama Club Series, "An Evening With Desdemona and Emilia" brought together exclusively women — including novelist Meg Wolitzer

and the actors Cynthia Nixon and Uzo Aduba — to perform certain Othello scenes this past Monday, March 16, for one night only. Othello's wife, Desdemona, "is the most famous victim of domestic violence in literary history," the show's director, Jeremy McCarter, told BuzzFeed News. He went on to say that Emilia, the wife of Othello's tormentor Iago, is a victim of the same fate. "Their stories got even more timely — horrifically so — last week when the U.N. released a report saying that 1 in 3 women globally have suffered domestic physical violence. That's more than a billion women facing the kind of abuse that Desdemona and Emilia sustained." To place the play's currents of jealousy and rage into a contemporary context, the performance's stage directions were readSky 'withdraws' from Tiscali buyout talks The price is wrong Sky has reportedly pulled out of exclusive talks to buy Tiscali's UK operation.

The UK's fifth largest ISP has been for sale since May, and saw its customer base shrink by 37,000 in the three months to the end of September while bankers attempted to cut a deal - first with Carphone Warehouse, then Vodafone, then Carphone Warehouse again, and then Sky.

the Electoral College, but the additional 29 delegates awarded to the popular-vote winner would fundamentally alter the focus of the campaigns. Candidates would have to target voters in states they have no chance of winning, as well as in states they have no chance of losing. One of the primary criticisms of the Electoral College is that it puts outsize importance on the horserace aspect of the election in the battleground states even as voters in the majority of the country tune out. If Israel’s amendment were to become law, voters in deeply blue and -red states would still have to participate in the election to secure the popular-vote prize for their candidate. Most analysts believe the 2012 election will be decided by fewer than 29 Electoral College votes. The timingof the resolution from Israel, the head of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, is curious since there is increasing speculation that for the fifth time in history, the 2012 presidential election could result in a split between the popular vote and Electoral College decision. And in this case, most of the speculation has been that President Obama might win the Electoral College while losing the popular vote. According to the RealClearPolitics average of polls, Mitt Romney has 47.9 percent support nationally over President Obama at 47. But the Obama campaign has consistently touted its “wider path to victory” through the Electoral College, and the president appears to have a small lead in the handful of battleground states whose Electoral College votes will determine the outcome of the election.

As such, it opens up the gnawing emptiness of inauthenticity in human relations – the lie. This is the chasm into which the retail therapy of

One of the sites covered by an option to lease was a filling station site, 200 × 200 feet, beginning at the control access point on the southwestern corner of the intersection. The other separate option embraced a strip 10 × 1000 feet, running east from the filling station site to a sign site on Interstate Highway 95, together with the sign site itself, 40 × 50 feet. The lease options were between the plaintiff, as lessee, and William

Thomas Ridgeway, as lessor-owner. Prior to notice by plaintiff of intention to exercise the two options, Ridgeway was killed in a boat accident on Lake Marion, near Manning. He died intestate. The defendants are his heirs-at-law. One of such heirs, Dorothy R. Hulsey, is, also, the Administratrix of his estate and is made a party defendant in that capacity as well as individually. The defendants-heirs, acting through the defendant Administratrix, have refused to comply with the options, thereby prompting the filing of this action. JURISDICTION There is diversity of citizenship between the plaintiff and all of the defendants. The subject-matter of this action is located in Clarendon County in the District of South Carolina. The amount in controversy, involved in the two lease options, is in excess of $10,000, exclusiveoutlined, the intestate was interested only in a lease, not a sale, and he declined the offer of Gulf to buy. Rebuffed by Gulf, the intestate retained Joe Bates Harvin, a licensed realtor in Manning, to secure from a responsible lessee an acceptable lease of the site. Preparatory to approaching a prospective lessee, Mr. Harvin and the intestate agreed upon a fair valuation of the site as a basis for fixing a proper rental. After reviewing comparable locations in the general area, they arrived at a value of $40,000 for the one-acre site and a monthly rental providing a return of six per cent thereon, or $200 per month. Harvin, acting on behalf of the intestate, first approached the Sinclair Refining Company, offering it a long-term lease on the filling

The lease options were thereupon left with Mr. Harvin, available to the intestate at any time. It was suggested by Mr. Riddle as the conference ended, that the intestate should consult his attorney with reference to the lease options. On March 6, 1967, twelve days after his conference with Mr. Riddle, the intestate discussed with his attorney, Marion Riggs, Esquire, an experienced and respected member of the Manning Bar, the proposed lease options. After receiving and considering Mr. Riggs' advice (which, incidentally, was adverse but not on account of any inadequacy in the rentals), the intestate went to Mr. Harvin's office, signed the two lease options and accepted the cash consideration provided in the options.[3] Between the conference on February 22 and the execution of the lease options byrelied on the testimony of three witnesses. The first was Mrs. Dorothy R. Hulsey, a sister of the intestate and the Administratrix of his estate. According to her testimony, the intestate was retarded mentally from birth, was late in learning to talk, had great difficulty in school, and became a "drop-out while in the fifth-grade." She discounted the circumstance that her father had not trusteed but, on the contrary, had devised "outright" the farm to the intestate, thereby evidencing a belief on his (the father's) part in the capacity of the intestate to manage his property. She testified that the father, however, expected her to advise and guide the intestate in all business matters. She claimed that she did advise and guide the intestate in his farming operations

following the father's death. All the records of operations were kept by her and she prepared for the intestate all checks issued by him. She also was consulted by her brother, she said, during his negotiations with Gulf, though she did not actually participate in any of the direct negotiations. Dr. A. C. Bozard was the second witness for the defendants on this issue. He is a practicing physician, engaged in a general practice, in Manning. He had occasionally treated the intestate, on one occasion for a respiratory condition, and on the others for alcoholism.[5] Other than these professional visits, Dr. Bozard had only a nodding acquaintanceship with the intestate. He made no psychiatric examination of the intestate; his opinion of the intestate's mental capacity was thus more alay than a professional opinion. He based his conclusion that the intestate was mentally incompetent on the intestate's misuse of English and on a report of his school work as secured by him the day before he testified (and apparently as a predicate for his testimony) from one of the long-time teachers at the school the intestate attended.[6] The final witness for the defendants was the intestate's employment supervisor at the time of his death. The intestate was engaged in servicing a large number of automatic food-serving establishments. Included in his duties was the responsibility of making repairs or adjustments when any of the food-serving machines became inoperative. His supervisor testified that the intestate was not adept and showed little initiative in making such repairs. He conceded, however, that

the intestate was a satisfactory employee and was about on a par in ability and mental competence with others similarly employed by him. Over against this testimony, the plaintiff cited the fact that the father, whose opportunity for observing the mental capabilities of the intestate was superior to anyone else, had felt the intestate was perfectly competent to take care of his *653 affairs, otherwise, he would have trusteed the devise to the intestate. Moreover, the intestate had been found mentally competent both for induction and for service, until honorably discharged, for two years in the Army. Mr. Langford, with whom the intestate negotiated the Gulf option, found the intestate perfectly competent mentally to take care of his interests in the negotiations of the option; in fact, he emphasizedthat the intestate "drove a hard bargain." The representatives of both Sinclair and the plaintiff were of the opinion the intestate was mentally competent to handle his affairs and able to understand thoroughly the negotiations had with him. More significantly, when the intestate talked to Mr. Riggs, he discussed in detail the terms of the lease options, evidencing that he clearly understood the nature, terms and effect of the instruments. Mr. Riggs, who had known the intestate for many years, also testified that he thought the intestate mentally competent. Mr. Harvin, who necessarily had considerable opportunities to observe the intestate, was of the opinion that the intestate comprehended the details of the lease options and evidenced the competency to protect his interests. The rule as to mental competency under

offer; what he sought was an option to sell at $85,000. He had a prospect, who, he said, was interested. At first, he demurred at naming the prospect, fearing, as he explained it, that some other real estate salesman might attempt to approach his prospect. This testimony confirmed the impression that Mr. Bagwell really had no firm buyer; he was seeking an option in the hope that he might induce his prospect to exercise it. The situation *655 thus presented is very similar to that in the Holly Hill Lumber Company Case, supra. In that case, the purchase price provided in the option for the land in question was $3,500. In the meantime, an offer of $25,000 was submitted. The Court dismissed this offer, remarking, "In the lightequity, and irrespective of the terms of the contract. There is no authoritative decision of South Carolina on mutuality of remedy as a condition to granting specific performance. In the opinion of the Circuit Court, affirmed on appeal in Columbia Water Power Company v. City of Columbia (1873) 5 S.C. 225, 232, cited by defendants, the Circuit Court stated if "there was an original want of mutuality in the contract", this defense "might be important". The use of the phrase "original want of mutuality" indicates plainly the Court was considering mutuality in terms of consideration at the inception of the contract, of a promise for a promise, and not in terms of mutuality of remedy. It is, however, a legal cliche in many of the decisions that want of mutuality

Gwen Graham is surging to a six-point lead in the Democratic primary for Florida Governor, according to a new poll of the five-way nominating contest. The St. Pete Polls survey shows the former congresswoman and self-described “PTA mom” is the pick for 29 percent of registered Democrats who say they plan to vote in the Aug. 28 primary election. Palm Beach billionaire Jeff Greene came in a comfortable second place with a 23 percent share followed by former Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine, who had until recently been considered the front-runner, with a little over 19 percent support. Coming in fourth (after a considerable gap) was Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum. He was the pick for one in eight likely primary voters while Orlando-area businessman Chris King rounded out the packwith just over 3 percent. The new results show an 8-point surge for Graham over the last measure from the same pollster, which found the North Florida Democrat with 22 percent, putting her just a hair behind Greene, who took the top spot at the time. Also of note: Compared to the mid-July measure is the shrinkage in undecided voters — a full quarter of the party faithful were undecided two weeks ago, while also-rans Alex “Lundy” Lundmark and John Wetherbee scooped up another percent between them. Graham’s lead mainly comes from a strong showing among white Democrats, who prefer her over Greene 36-24 percent. Graham is also the top pick among men, women and voters over 50, with Greene also taking the No. 2 spot in all three sets. Gillum does

businessmen who hail from South Florida by way of Massachusetts and both are using their considerable fortunes to bankroll their statewide bids. The name ID section of the poll lends some credence to that hypothesis. Levine is still the best known of the five major Democrats, with 69 percent of those polled knowing enough about him to offer their opinion, and those that did found him favorable by a margin of 52-17. Graham scored a little higher with a plus-38, but 34 percent of Democrats still said they were unsure how they felt about her. Greene was seen favorably by a 51-16 margin, while more than half of voters were unsure about Gillum and King. As ever, those who were aware of Gillum liked him. He scored a plus-19 among the 45Chattanooga in Tennessee is an unlikely role model but companies based in certain business precincts in Adelaide will be offered internet speeds at least 10 times the speed of the national broadband network as the city becomes the first in Australia to join the growing Gig City movement.

millions of people in who have so strongly and violently changed their culture!” Donald Trump, right, and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, left. (Photo: Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP) Combined with his blistering criticism of unequal NATO burden-sharing and his burgeoning trade war with the European Union, Trump’s ad hominem attacks on allied leaders at a time when many of their governments are threatened by an ascendant wave of hyper-nationalist, anti-European Union political parties have sown unprecedented distrust in the transatlantic relationship. And all this comes just days ahead of his scheduled July 16 summit in Helsinki with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a man for whom Trump seems to have nothing but praise. Story continues Nicholas Burns, a former U.S. ambassador to NATO and currently the faculty chair of the Project on Europe andPartnering with Taxidermists for Improved Chronic Wasting Disease Surveillance. Chronic wasting disease (CWD) is a neurodegenerative disease of cervids caused by a misfolded protein called a prion. This disease affects captive and free-ranging deer, moose, elk, and reindeer, and has been detected in 26 states. Cervids infected with CWD may be asymptomatic for months or years. In most areas, older male deer have higher prevalence rates. Prior to 2013, CWD surveillance in New York State focused on testing samples of convenience, by collecting deer heads from meat processors. However, this sampling was biased because many of the heads from older male deer were taken to taxidermists to be mounted. In 2013, the Taxidermy Partnership Program (TPP) was created to train taxidermists to collect CWD samples, and to increase the

Jimmy Carter writes books, works for world peace, and builds houses for the poor. Bill Clinton built a foundation that prevents disease and has saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Africa. George Bush has found a new calling painting portraits of war veterans. And Gerhard Schröder promotes the interests of an authoritarian kleptocracy that seeks to undermine Western democracies: Schröder has spent much of the past decade working for the Russian energy industry, serving as a board member of several consortia in which Russian-government-controlled energy company Gazprom is either the majority or sole shareholder. His astonishing career in the Russian energy

industry reached new heights this week when the former chancellor was nominated for a position as an independent director on the board of Rosneft, Russia's largest oil company — and one in which the Kremlin also holds a controlling stake. The nomination had been rumored for days and was confirmed by a government decree published late on Friday night. Rosneft is not just any energy company; it represents the interests of the Kremlin and is run by one of Putin's former KGB colleagues. Schröder's attempts to rationalize his collusion by insisting that he is simply helping with Germany's energy security is at best cynical: Schröder's old Social Democrat (SPD) political pals have been reluctant to openly criticize their former leader for his crass opportunism. After all, Gerhard Schröder is aFront National? A patron who uses its meager reserves to deploy his army of trolls and bots for the brown cause, who uses his shrill media empire to spread conspiracy theories and "alternative facts" across the globe, who initiates hacks and leaks to undermine the democratic process like there is now tomorrow. A patron who spares no expense when it serves the enemies of democracy, who shamelessly makes his enormous resources available to any right-wing street urchin.") Schröder became chancellor with his clever use of anti-American rhetoric. Today he is applauded across Germany for his especially harsh words for President Trump - conveniently forgetting that it was his pal Vladimir Putin who was instrumental in getting Trump elected.

I feel equipped to fight. To fight another day,” Penny says. It’s been more than 15 years, but Penny can still vividly recall the moment she was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 1986. In the mid-1980s–an era when little was understood about the inscrutable disease, and even fewer treatment options existed—a diagnosis of HIV was a de facto death sentence. “I was paralyzed. I was shocked,” Penny remembers. At the time of her diagnosis, Penny’s husband, Billy DeNoble, was dying of AIDS. A former illicit drug user, Billy acquired HIV via the sharing of contaminated needles and lived with the virus for many years without knowing he was infected. By the time he began to experience symptoms in 1985, the virus had progressed to AIDS and was ravishing his body. “[My husband]WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump says he is planning to attend the World Series on Sunday if it goes to a fifth game. The president confirmed his plans Thursday while presenting the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Roger Penske, a businessman and founder of one of the world's most successful motorsports teams. The Washington Nationals and the Houston Astros are playing, with the fifth game scheduled for Sunday in Washington. The Nationals lead the series 2-0 and could conceivably win it before Sunday's game. Trump played high school baseball at the New York Military Academy and has thrown out the ceremonial first pitch at major league games. Asked if he would do so again this weekend, he joked that he would have to dress up with a lot of heavy armor

and would look too heavy. "I don't like that," he said. The president is a New York Yankees fan who would often attend their games and sit in the owners' suite or near the dugout. He welcomed the Astros to the White House last year after they won the 2017 World Series and said their victory was even more special following the devastation Hurricane Harvey wrought on the Texas city. Washington Nationals pitcher Anibal Sanchez said people should "respect that situation" if the president wants to attend the game. "He's the president, and if he wants to come, why not?" Sanchez said. Trump would be the first sitting president to attend a World Series game since George W. Bush threw out the ceremonial first pitch at New York's Yankee Stadium before Game3 in 2001. As the former controlling owner of the Texas Rangers, Bush knew several of the players involved. Other presidents who attended World Series game were Woodrow Wilson (1915), Calvin Coolidge (1924), Herbert Hoover (1929, 1930, 1931), Franklin Roosevelt (1933, 1936), Dwight Eisenhower (1956), Jimmy Carter (1979) and Ronald Reagan (1983).

regarded there more as abuse than as entertainment. Both the British and the French governments forbade the Tongays to force their children to swim the English Channel. Upon their arrival in London, the entire family was placed under "technical arrest." Tongay argued with the British Home Office to permit the swim across the Channel. Letters to the editor and a general sense that the swim was exploitative caused Home Secretary James Chuter Ede to say: "I cannot help thinking that swimming the Channel at that early age is rather a severe test even for an infant prodigy." Initially the Home Office intended to expel the Tongays from the country, but the next day an officer declared they could stay for one month provided that the children did not swim forpayer completes the transaction from an account opened with another credit institution – external transactions and cash deposits) and the payer’s address for situations where the payer completed the transaction from an account opened with Unicredit Bank – internal transactions.

runner of the year, broke 4:00 in the mile for the first time at the Warwick Fast Times Relays. Based on his recent performances and his 4:00.11 PR from 2010, the breakthrough mark was not all that surprising. But the circumstances surrounding this performance were truly surreal. The "Reality Mile" has been run at this top-level High School relay meet on and off for the last 15 years, with the goal of getting a sub-4 in front of ~1300 high school runners competing in the running hotbed of Warwick, NY, where my father Richard (Furst) has been the girls coach since 1976. It is sponsored by the Warwick Valley Booster Club. Last year, Bobby and I battled it out, but came up just short with 4:00.26 and 4:00.61.This year the meet was delayed partway through due to weather, then finally cancelled as bedtime approached for the high school students. The timers had packed up their cameras, pace setter was on his way back to Long Island with his high school team, and the "Reality Mile" was all but dead. However, the event organizers (my dad) convinced the timers to unpack their cameras, brave the rain and lightening, and wait an hour for the remaining milers to get warmed up and race. Then two guys who were standing in the parking lot in their flip-flops, Mike Coffee (who had just finished a 17 mile run up and down a mountain) and Shane Gianetti (whose 800 PR is 1:58) volunteered to get us "as far as they

could" and Tim Ritchie, who had already run 3:58 at Boston Indoor Games this winter, volunteered to man up for lap 3. So the Warwickians who hadn't yet left, gathered around and we prepared to race. The official with the gun left, so they had to trigger the timer with a palm slap that the timing company informed us also had to serve as the start signal for the race to count as FAT. There was lightening in the distance, but a serendipitous break in the deluge, and the roughly 40 people in attendance had to stay totally silent so that we could hear the fleshy thud that signaled the start. The only sound we heard coming off the line was our own spikes digging into the wet tracka willingness to explore new frontiers and crave the unconventional.

Images on glass In the small town where I live, there used to be a company who became famous for making illustrated postcards. These humorous cards showed cartoon images of seaside holidaymakers and ordinary working people and often had double entendre meanings. The company was known as Bamforths and although the cards they produce are famous worldwide, not many people are aware that they also had a photographic studio. In their early days they were leading producers of magic lantern slides on subjects such as romance, tragedy and the temperance movement. They also produced movies which were seen all over the world. According to Wikipedia, the films made here in Holmfirth, surpassed those made by Hollywood at the time! If the company had not ceased the film making part

of their business during the first world war (due to shortages), the place where I live could have been the centre of the worlds film industry. When film making finished they continued with postcard production up to the latter part of the 20th Century. The company closed in the early 1990’s and the daylight photographic studio of the building was turned into homes. The rest of the building was left to rot and a few years ago plans were put forward to develop the site and build a large new development of flats. These were opposed by locals, but the work seems to be going ahead anyway.

Recent precipitation has removed abnormally dry conditions (D0) in parts of southern California and moderate drought (D1) in southern Nevada. As of Dec. 5, 2019, ~82% of the region is in D0 or D1 conditions. Conditions will likely continue to improve with December precipitation. Regional Climate Update Parts of California and Nevada experienced record driest conditions in October, with nearly the entire region below 1895 - 2010 normals. Early November also remained dry. Several drought impacts were seen from this

early dryness including elevated fire potential until the first soaking rains and impacts to rangeland health. The first significant precipitation event brought beneficial rain and snow to Southern California and Nevada, and parts of the eastern Sierra. Rain and snow have continued, and by the end of November central-southern California-Nevada are now above normal. Precipitation has continued into December and improved drought conditions. Major reservoir levels remained above normal even with a dry start to the water year. At the time of the webinar (Nov. 25th), low Sierra snowpack levels remained. But by the end of November and into early December, the snowpack start plus reservoir conditions began to show to be above normal. However snowpack conditions across the Sierra’s remain below normal, more notably in the Northern Sierra(as of Dec. 6th). Drought & Climate Outlook Precipitation: As of Nov. 21, the seasonal (December - February) precipitation outlooks show odds tilted towards below normal over much of California and equal chances of above, below, and normal precipitation over the rest of California-Nevada. Seasonal drought conditions were also predicted to be removed in southern Nevada (as did happen as of Dec. 3) with development likely in the central California coast. Temperature: Warm temperatures are favored over California-Nevada through early winter with >40% chance of above-normal December-February temperatures. ENSO: ENSO neutral conditions continued through the end of summer with near-to-above average sea surface temperatures across most of the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. NOAA’s ENSO alert system status is currently Not Active and ENSO neutral is favored during the winter 2019-20

Conceptual Engineering Recent examples of conceptual engineering within the philosophical arena include the proposal by Clark and Chalmers (1998) to extend the traditional understanding of belief, the proposal by Haslanger (2000) to rethink our conceptions of race and gender, and the proposal by Scharp (2013) to reconceive the notion of truth. But there is a good sense in which all philosophical theorizing is at root a form of conceptual engineering, and philosophical attempts throughout the ages to capture the nature of knowledge, evidence, causation, explanation, justice, rights, emotion, consciousness, and so on, count equally as examples. Moreover, examples of

of inconsistent concepts' (Scharp 2013: 3), such cases provide central examples of conceptual engineering and cannot be set aside as anomalies. In a series of articles (Sawyer 2018, Forthcoming a, Forthcoming b), I have offered a response to Strawson's challenge by drawing on an externalist metasemantic framework that distinguishes language from thought. The framework countenances two semantic elements- the meaning, or intension of a term, which connects the term to an extension, and the concept expressed by a term, which connects the term to a topic. The meaning of a term is determined by communal linguistic practice, which can change over time resulting in a change in both the intension and the extension of the term.

Although Brexit was part of the story for the Liberal Democrats, the more heartening part for them in the long term is that they were able to make gains in places where they were primarily benefiting from local dysfunctionality – Sunderland, which declares early, is the most immediate example but there were other races across the country where the LibDem story was half national advance, half local opportunism. The ability to eke out gains due to local issues is a vital part of their past and future growth, regardless of how the Brexit deadlock is resolved.

"We have to get our guys out quicker when we see they are gassed. We had one guy get gassed on three straight plays when he was at the point of attack. . Otherwise, I thought we were effective out there and got people on and off the field."Defensive lineman Shilique Calhoun is one of the top players inthe Big Ten, and linebacker Taiwan Jones received solid reviews in the opener with Bullough gone. It remains to be seen whether Michigan State's defense can reach the level of last year's unit, but this next game will surely be a good indicator of the Spartans' progress.Whoever wins will probably be a very early favorite to reach college football's new four-team playoff — and perhaps both teams will be in the hunt for a while. That alone underscores how far Michigan State has come since the first game of last season, when the Spartans weren't sure who their top quarterback was and struggled to move the ball.Against Jacksonville State, Cook completed his first nine passes, the score was 38-0 at halftime, and the defense held the Gamecocks to

Officials from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Wisconsin, the department’s Civil Rights Division and the FBI met today with the Williams family and its representatives to inform them of this decision. The department conducted a comprehensive and independent investigation of the events surrounding the arrest of Mr. Williams, who died while in the custody of Milwaukee police officers. Specifically, special agents of the FBI

what the officers saw in the back of the squad car that night. The infrared camera, which captures images with little or no light, clearly showed Mr. Williams in the back of the car. However, it cannot be established that this was the vantage point of the subject officers for several reasons. First, there is no backseat lighting in the car and there were minimal artificial lighting sources where the squad car was located. Next, each officer had custody of Mr. Williams for only a short duration of time and no officer watched Mr. Williams for the entire time that he was in distress in the squad car. Finally, there is no evidence that the officers were watching Mr. Williams on the squad car monitor in the frontdepartments of Justice, State and Interior, among others, requesting backup at the border from their law enforcement personnel.

"Famous guy who plays the saxophone", isn't his name Michael Bolton ? We both knew that wasn't his name, but since he had said it whenever I tried to remember the guy's name all I could think about was "Michael Bolton" and "Richard Marx"... I told this to DH and he said him too.... why would we both think of Richard Marx ? He has nothing to do with saxophones hehe. Itwas driving us nuts!!! I hate when that happens, you know you know it, it's on the tip of your tongue, but you can't say it ? Well we get home and I ask Tina on MSN if she knows the name of the famous saxophone player, but she doesn't reply she's talking on the phone. Then I look at DH and see that he's googling for "Elevator Music Celebrity" ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!! And in the "Elevator Music" category... the winner is : !

Yet under the letter of the law about Israeli and Palestinian security relations established through previous agreements inked by both parties more than two decades ago, West Bank urban areas are off-limits to Israeli forces. The zones of just where and when the army can enter the occupied territory were outlined in 1993 in the Oslo Accords. Israel and the Palestinian leadership agreed to divided the region into policing districts, Area A, Area B, and Area C.

Clinton headlined a series of conversations in Virginia and Kentucky this week with a focus on kitchen table issues like backing universal pre-kindergarten, rolling out a plan for affordable childcare and touting her position on equal pay for women. The Clinton campaign hopes targeting suburban voters with small, tailored events, which harken back to small events and roundtables the candidate did when she kicked off her campaign in early 2015, will contrast well with Trump, who is more comfortable pumping up crowds. Her target: suburban women voters, a critical bloc for the former secretary of state. It's a group that tilted towards Mitt Romney in 2012 and who polls show are not excited about Clinton's candidacy. At the Family Health Centers of Louisville, Clinton touted

that by leaning hard into the historic nature of her campaign, she could win married women. "The media is so after me on women," Trump tweeted earlier this year. "Wow, this is a tough business. Nobody has more respect for women than Donald Trump!" Focus on Kentucky for primary, Virginia for November Kentucky isn't a general election target, but an important spot for Clinton as she tried to keep Sanders from making a late run for delegates. Sanders defeated Clinton easily in West Virginia Tuesday night, and while the loss doesn't substantially weaken her commanding delegate lead, it does feed into the notion that Democrats may not be entirely pleased with their likely nominee.

Under the Justice Department's Equitable Sharing Program, which was suspended late in the Obama administration but reinstated last year by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, state and local law enforcement agencies can hand their cash-laden cases over to federal prosecutors instead of turning them in to local district attorneys. And when they do, the reporting agency gets to keep 80% of the seized cash, with the Justice Department getting the rest. The scheme not only subverts state law by diverting much-needed funding for schools to police agencies, but also by allowing state and local cops to seize cash and goods under the federal law, which does not require a criminal conviction first.

Local journalism is dying in plain sight. ___ A rock outcropping painted by a local tattoo artist to resemble a frog greets visitors who follow the old Route 66 into Waynesville. Along with its sister city St. Robert, the military towns are dominated by the nearby Fort Leonard Wood, which has kept the county’s population steadily around 50,000 for the past decade. Five of Waynesville’s eight city council members are former military, and Mayor Luge Hardman says the meetings run efficiently as a result. “This is a small town where you can be from somewhere else and not feel like an outsider,” said Kevin Hillman, Pulaski County prosecuting attorney.

That’s especially true in smaller communities. “They’re getting eaten away at every level,” said Ken Doctor, a news industry analyst at Harvard’s Nieman Lab. Newspaper circulation in the U.S. has declined every year for three decades, while advertising revenue has nosedived since 2006, according to the Pew Research Center. Staffing at newspapers large and small has followed that grim trendline: Pew says the number of reporters, editors, photographers and other newsroom employees in the industry fell by 45 percent nationwide between 2004 and 2017. In the mid-1990s, when former Daily Guide publisher Tim Berrier was replaced, the newspaper had a news editor, sports editor, photographer and two reporters on staff. Along with traditional community news, the Daily

Guide covered the Army’s decision to move its chemical warfare training facility to Fort Leonard Wood in the 1990s, and a flood that swept a mother and son to their deaths in 2013. As recently as 2010, the Daily Guide had four full-time news people, along with a page designer and three ad salespeople. But people left and weren’t replaced. Last spring, the Daily Guide was cut from five to three days a week. In June, the last newsroom staffer, editor Natalie Sanders, quit — she was burned out, she said. She made a bet with the only other full-time employee, ad sales person Tiffany Baker, over when the newspaper would close. Sanders said three years; Baker said one.

On average, five percent of recycling nationally was burnt or put into landfill last year, but Newham sent 33 percent of its recycling off to burn. Newham has the worst recycling rate in the country at a mere 14 percent of its total waste. The rest it mostly burns. In Hackney it is nearly a fifth of recycling being sent to burn, but this is unsurprising when the council belongs to the North London Waste Authority which burns twice the amount that it recycles.

Published duration 12 August 2014 image copyright AFP image caption The Kurdish Peshmerga, many of them veterans, are spearheading the defence against IS militants in Iraq The Peshmerga, whose name translates as "those who face death", are the Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq. In recent weeks, they have been fighting Islamist militants of the Islamic State - formerly known as Isis - who seized large swathes of territory in the north. Now thought to number around 190,000, the Peshmerga have their roots in groups of loosely organised tribal border guards in the late 1800s, but were formally organised as the national fighting force of the Kurdish people after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in the wake of World War One. As the Kurdish nationalist movement grew,

so too did the identity of the Peshmerga as a key part of Kurdish culture - evolving from tribal defenders to nationalist fighters for an independent Kurdish state. image copyright Getty Images image caption Following the 1991 uprisings in Iraq, the Peshmerga succeeded in pushing out Iraqi forces from the north image copyright Getty Images image caption In 1992 the rival Kurdish KDP and PUK factions established the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Regional Government When did the Peshmerga force begin? The modern-day Peshmerga are mostly veterans from the fighting against Iraqi government forces, and from infighting between Kurdish factions. After World War One the region of Kurdistan, previously a strategic buffer area between the Ottoman and Persian empires, began to see itself as one of several nation states newly created in the region, carved outfrom the remains of the Ottoman Empire - Iraq, Syria and Turkey. The regional disarray left a power vacuum, and Kurds began vying for an independent state of their own. Disputed areas in Iraq's Kurdish region The Iran-Iraq War By the 1970s, Kurds had become divided between two factions controlling the north and south of Iraqi Kurdistan. However, they both soon came into conflict against the Iraqi state - rival Kurdish tribes united and the movement for independence was strengthened. By the time of the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s the Peshmerga had developed into an effective guerrilla fighting force. Many Kurdish fighters were defectors from Saddam Hussein's Iraqi army, and when the Peshmerga united across tribes to claim territory in Iraqi Kurdistan, Saddam Hussein decided to act. Halabja attack of 1988 image copyright IRNA/AFP image

caption The 1988 Halabja attack became known as the worst chemical weapons attack in modern history Some Kurdish fighters had previously fought alongside Saddam Hussein's forces in the war against Iran, but many Peshmerga then allied with Iranian troops in order to bring more areas in Iraqi Kurdistan under their control. Saddam Hussein then began a campaign of collective punishment known as the "Anfal" against the Kurds, for fighting with Iranian forces and for seeking more territory. The most notorious event in the Anfal campaign was the 1988 Halabja chemical weapons attack , in southern Kurdistan. An estimated 5,000 people, mostly women and children, were killed when Iraqi jets dropped poison gas on the town. Thousands of inhabitants choked on a mixture of mustard gas and nerve agents. As a result, thePeshmerga were forced to cease operations as more than a million Kurds were displaced, and hundreds of thousands killed throughout the Anfal campaign. Conflict with Saddam image copyright AP image caption Elite units of female Peshmerga fighters have been trained by SWAT teams to fight IS militants in Iraq Throughout the 1990s and in the aftermath of the Anfal campaign, despite huge losses the Peshmerga continued to battle Iraqi forces against the backdrop of the First Gulf War and Operation Desert Storm. However, internal tensions continued to build and turned to war between the two rival Kurdish factions, the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) led by Massoud Barzani, son of the Kurdish nationalist leader Mustafa Barzani and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) led by Jalal Talabani, who would eventually become Iraqi president. During

this period, female fighters were also incorporated into the Peshmerga to bolster the forces' numbers in the fight against Saddam Hussein. image copyright Reuters image caption Kurdistan Regional Government President Massoud Barzani led the KDP, succeeding his father Mustafa Barzani image copyright AFP image caption Jalal Talabani of the PUK, became the sixth President of Iraq, and the first Kurd to hold that office Co-operation with the CIA After reconciliation between the two opposing Kurdish factions was sealed by the 1998 Washington Agreement, the US Special Forces deployed CIA agents to Kurdistan, the start of a relationship of co-operation between the Peshmerga and the US, both pitted against Saddam Hussein's Iraqi government. The role of the Peshmerga was key in the eventual toppling of Saddam Hussein. After his Baathist government was dismantled, USforces continued to work with the Peshmerga, training fighters and holding joint operations throughout the area. When the PUK's Jalal Talabani was elected as the sixth president of Iraq, and the KDP's Massoud Barzani was elected president of Iraqi Kurdistan, Kurdish hopes for self-determination continued to grow.

Here is a little something.. ____________ Several LNG projects are currently under development in British Columbia, a western province of Canada. Canada is one of Japan’s most important partner countries in terms of advancing diversification of energy supply sources in order to secure a competitive and stable supply of LNG.To import LNG from Canada, some issues, including the development of infrastructure, such as LNG terminals and pipelines, expeditious processing of permits and licensing, and LNG tax needs to be solved. Policy dialogues with British Columbia are extremely important for Japan to solve such issues. In light of such recognition, Minister Motegi met with Premier Clark to exchange views on specific measures for LNG supply from Canadato Japan at competitive prices. At the same time, both sides signed a Memorandum on Energy Cooperation and Development between The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan (“METI”) and The Government of the Province of British Columbia, Canada (“BC”), which mentions the establishment of an annual high-level meeting. In response to the memorandum, on December 3, 2013, METI will hold the first high-level meeting with British Columbia and discuss policies in detail. Granted there is very little detail in the above link, however, the dunce, Christy Clark and her minister of hot air, lies and blather Rich Coleman has told our domestic head firmly planted in the sand media that BC`s most competitive LNG tax in world was good to go.."We have found a sweet spot"...."Industry is mostly in agreement that we are on the

Romero, a champion of the poor, became a human rights icon in Latin America when he was killed by a right-wing death squad in 1980 while he was saying Mass. He was made a saint last year. Romero’s path to sainthoodhad stalled under two previous popes, reflecting concerns by some bishops in Latin America and the Vatican that he was overly political. But Francis speeded it up after his election as the first Latin American pope in 2013. In the past, Francis criticized bishops who spoke badly of Romero even after his assassination, saying they had defamed and slandered him. On Thursday, Francis said Romero’s name had become “a dirty word” for some. Francis told Reuters in June he had wanted to make a stop in nearby El Salvador during his Panama visit to pray at Romero’s tomb. Francis later decided to make a longer trip to El Salvador sometime in the future.

Gov. Phil Murphy on Wednesday defended his wife Tammy Murphy's role in his administration when asked about the decision to spend nearly $13,000 to install a new doorway to her office. The Democratic governor responded to a question about the spending on the first lady's office during a pair of morning TV interviews to mark his 100th day in office. Murphy called a report about the door "ridiculous." NJ Advance Media reported earlier this month that the Murphy administration spent some $27,000 to refurbish and redecorate the governor's office -- about a block from the Statehouse, which is being rehabbed -- after he started his new job in January. That included $13,000 on a doorway so that a conference room just down the hall from the official governor's suite could becomea private office for the first lady. "My word," Murphy said when he was asked about the door during his appearance on WNYW Fox 5. "That's TMZ journalism at its worst," he said, referring to the celebrity news website. "It's just ridiculous," Murphy added. The governor went on to defend his wife's role in the administration. "She is an absolute treasure in the state of New Jersey," Murphy said. "I am incredibly proud of her." "She works her tail off every single day -- for nothing, by the way -- she has deep passion and interest in a couple of policy areas," he aded. Tammy Murphy does have a significant role in the administration. She helps craft policy and travels from Middletown to Trenton nearly every day. The oversized role of a first spouse prompted some

legislative leaders to question how much power she wields over policymaking. "I think there could be some confusion when one wants to contact the administration on a specific issue," state Sen. Loretta Weinberg, D-Bergen, told NJ Advance Media earlier this month. "If there is, in fact, an official policy role for the first lady, I just think a little more clarity would be helpful." NJ Advance Media reported on the renovations to the office to accommodate the first lady using receipts obtained under the Open Public Records Act. Prior to the WNYW Fox 5 interview, Murphy appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," where he reflected on his first three months and predicated a Democratic wave of sorts in the state in the upcoming midterm elections.

CBO's current economic projections differ in some respects from the ones issued in February 2014. The agency has significantly lowered its projection of growth in real GDP for 2014, reflecting surprising economic weakness in the first half of the year. However, the level of real GDP over most of the coming decade is projected to be only modestly lower than estimated in February. In addition, CBO now anticipates lower interest rates throughout the projection period and a lower unemployment rate for the next six years. emphasis added Click on graph for larger image. The CBO projects the deficit will decline further in 2015, and will be at or below 3% of GDP through fiscal 2019. Then the deficit will
