accessing opportunities in receiving countries; it also actively shapes the opportunities of people in other territories. For example, the 2004 and 2007 enlargements of the European Union provided opportunities for individuals in new member states to work abroad. But emigration of working age people also impacted the source countries positively and negatively in complicated ways, reducing demand in the local labor market and raising worries about "brain drain".16 Normative theorists often note the effects of migration on opportunities in receiving and source communities, but overlook the fact that restrictive border controls also shape opportunities in potential source countries even when little or no migration occurs. 14 Young, Iris. 2011.

ALEX SAGER 64 GLOBAL JUSTICE : THEORY PRACTICE RHETORIC (5) 2012 The cogency of Chang's position depends on how convincing we find his defense of his cosmopolitan conception of distributive justice against prominent critiques. So far proponents of much more open borders have made little headway against those who argue for the justice of more restrictive immigration policy. This lack of progress reveals the limitations of approaches to migration that rely only on neoclassical economics. Neoclassical economics sees people as human capital and

a positive force for all involved. The flow of capital and labor increases efficiency, allocating goods where they are best used. A very different view is world systems theory that interprets economic globalization as a form of economic domination. World systems theory identifies the developed world as 22 For an overview of the use of ethnic criteria in migration policy, see Joppke. Christian. 2005.

Making and Remaking Asian America through Immigration Policy, 1850-1990. Palo Alto: Stanfordthere are strong aspects of world systems theory in her thought.24 She argues that the industrialization of the developing world leads to urban migration from the country-side, often followed by migration across borders and the recruitment of workers by foreign firms. In the short run, economic development leads to more migration, not less, as we see when large numbers of people migrate from the country-side to the cities in the developing world and beyond.25 The social and economic disruption of industrialization, often promoted by international organizations such as the World Bank and IMF, developed countries, and multinational corporations, plays a major role in establishing patterns of migration. The moral implications raised by world systems theory are quite different from those raised by neo-classical economics. Migration is caused by

the disruption of economies in the periphery that are transformed for the benefit of the developed world (the core). International migration occurs because powerful actors promote economic globalization at the expense of much of the world's population. In one of the few articles on migration in political theory that consider world systems theory, Van der Linden and Clark have drawn on Sassen's work to argue that the United States attracts migration because of its role in promoting and upholding an unjust global economic order.26 They refer to policies such as farm subsidies in the developed world and structural adjustment programs imposed on developing economies. They also discuss to the "international resource privilege" that allows the leaders of corrupt and violent regimes to sell their resources abroad, often usingLinden and Clark's focus on the United States to the exclusion of other important states and international actors is unfortunate. 27 Pogge, Thomas. 2002. World Poverty and Human Rights: Cosmopolitan Responsibilities and Reforms. Cambridge: Polity Press. ALEX SAGER 66 GLOBAL JUSTICE : THEORY PRACTICE RHETORIC (5) 2012 Though Van der Linden and Clark are right to draw attention to the causal role of the United States (or other powerful states) in shaping the conditions for migration, their conclusion that this requires that the United States open its borders to all potential migrants is too quick. Even if we accept their account of how the international system unjustly harms many people, it is not clear why this entails an obligation to open borders to migrants. Rather, the obvious remedial

Immigrant women frequently suffer discrimination on the grounds of race and gender and face serious disadvantages in the labor market.32 The anthropologist Rhacel Salazar Parreñas studies how patriarchy shapes global institutions, including migration law, economic practices, and the norms that regulate women's behaviour. Gender ideology, in her view, is implicit in neoliberal economic globalization which "relies on the construction of women as secondary wage earners."33 She rejects simple economic narratives that see women's entrance into the international workforce as a path to securing a 30 Sassen, Saskia. 1990.

Instead, she writes: the gender reconstitution prompted by the migration of women is from the outset ideologically stalled by the fact that their economic independence relies on the maintenance of their femininity, which they perform as submissive entertainers in a nightclub in Japan, as caregivers in a hospital orprivate home in Israel, or even as nimble-fingered assembly-lined workers in a factory in Dubai."34 Women everywhere in the world perform a disproportionate share of the reproductive labour, even in households where both spouses have similar jobs. Structural adjustment programs and austerity measures in the Philippines and other countries have diverted funds away from state sponsored welfare programs. The Philippines spends much of its tax revenue paying off the interest on international loans. At the same time, decline in real wages and cutbacks to public services in industrialized countries lead to more women in the workforce forced to hire full-time caregivers for their children.35 This creates "global care chains". Affluent women hire women from abroad to care for their families. These domestic workers may leave their own children

Hannon were in a "black and white" police car, travelling south on Compton Avenue, in Los Angeles, near 56th Street, they saw six or seven persons on the sidewalk at the southeast corner of the intersection of those streets. The officers knew that the intersection was frequented by narcotic addicts. Officer Crowe, who was driving the car, drove it diagonally across the intersection to the curb at the southeast corner of the intersection where the persons were standing. Officer Hannon testified that he thought that, as a result of such driving, one of the "hypes" would run or give them (the officers) probable cause to get narcotics; that as the car approached the corner, he saw the defendant standing on the corner, with his back toward the car;that when the defendant turned around (facing the car) he was holding his hands in front of him, about waist high; defendant looked at the officers and then, with his right hand, put something into his mouth; then, with his left hand, the defendant threw a blue object over his head; the object landed on the sidewalk at a *569 place about 7 feet from defendant; when the object was thrown the officers were in the car which was about 12 feet from the defendant; Officer Hannon (witness) jumped out of the car, picked up the object and noticed that it was a balloon which was "knotted" near the end; through a hole in the balloon he saw a capsule therein with white powder in it; at that

purchased the two caps for $6.00. Officer Crowe testified that he stopped the police car abruptly at the southeast corner of the intersection and at that time, when he was about 10 feet from the defendant, he saw the defendant turn around, look at the car, and then make a throwing motion with his left hand; he (witness) got out of the car and took the defendant into custody; while he was arresting and handcuffing the defendant, the defendant was gagging and a white capsule dropped from defendant's mouth; the defendant said that he had just purchased the two caps from a person who had just walked around the corner; he (officer) had observed that a person wearing a black shirt had walked fast while going away fromthe corner; defendant said that he could not have swallowed the capsule, because he needs water in order to swallow a pill. Defendant testified that while he was going into a liquor store to get whiskey he saw he officers come across the street to the place where he was; the police car stopped, and Officer Crowe ran and grabbed him around the neck; then, when that officer started choking him, the other officer (Hannon) grabbed defendant's right arm and put it behind defendant's back; one of the officers hit defendant's stomach; while an officer was choking him, Officer Crowe said, "Don't swallow it"; after one of the officers had handcuffed him, the other officer went to the front of the liquor store and came back *570 with

a balloon; he (defendant) did not throw the balloon and he did not know what happened--that a guy (wearing a black shirt) ran around the corner; the officers found another capsule near defendant while they were choking him; that capsule did not come from his mouth, and he had not seen it before; he had not purchased any narcotics, and he was not trying to do so--he had been talking to the guy who ran away; he did not tell the officers that he had just purchased the balloon, nor tell them that the man who ran away was a dealer; he had been taking the naline test during a period of approximately two months preceding the arrest. Defendant testified further that he had been convicted twice ofdefendant wherein it was found that the conduct of the officers in obtaining the evidence amounted to brutality and it shocked the conscience. The evidence herein was sufficient to support a finding that the heroin, which defendant had put into his mouth, was not obtained illegally by the officers. Appellant also asserts that he spoke to his attorney (who represented him at the trial) regarding the matter of requiring the prosecution to show cause why defendant was arrested without a warrant. He asserts that he thought that his attorney was going to raise that issue. It seems that defendant is contending that he was not adequately represented by counsel at the trial. He did not advise the trial judge that he considered that he was not properly represented.

Nearly three-quarters of patients in Oregon hospitalized in the last month of life were discharged to home, compared with slightly fewer than two-thirds in Washington state and a little more than half — 54.2 percent — in the rest of the US. More than 40 percent of patients in Oregon were enrolled in home hospice in 2013, compared with about 30 percent in Washington and fewer than 20 percent in the rest of the US, the analysis found. Oregon, which enacted the nation’s first death-with-dignity law and led the way on implementing portable medical orders for treatment at the end of life, may be reaping the results of those and other efforts, said Tolle’s coauthor, Dr. Joan Teno, a professor of medicine, gerontology, and geriatrics at the University of Washingtonwith her, for company “and security,” he says. I ask Amanda if she wakes up excited, ready to ride, and she looks at me like, Um, no, I’m 24. “Before this, I used to sleep in all the time,” she says. As Amanda wakes and warms up, Ricky gives her a draft (legal according to the rules set out by the Ultra Marathon Cycling Association [UMCA], which validates the Highest Annual Mileage Record). A high school track star in his home state of North Carolina, Ricky was an avid runner until Achilles problems turned him onto cycling.

They went to Disney World, one of Amanda’s favorite places; then spent about a year roaming around Florida, camping and staying in RV parks. By 2015, Amanda began expressing an interest in riding again, and proposed doing a cross-country bike ride she’d often discussed with her dad. Amanda felt the journey would help her overcome her fear of riding on the road, and Ricky and Donna believed that planning and executing the trip would help Amanda continue to recover from her brain injury. Amanda sold her car to fund the trip, and Ricky, unable to pedal because ofhis back, drove behind Amanda on a 50cc scooter for nearly 3,000 miles. He equipped the scooter with a mass of flashing LEDs to warn oncoming drivers. Amanda logged multiple 500-mile weeks during the cross-country ride, and discovered a talent for long-distance cycling. Upon returning to Florida, the family parked its RV in Zephyrhills, a small town outside of Tampa, and not long after discovered Flatwoods, a 20-minute drive away. At the end of 2015, Amanda began riding with the park’s various groups, and soon met a man named Kurt Searvogel. Riding alongside Searvogel, Amanda’s mileage soared. She put in 170 miles one day, and recorded more miles on Strava than any other woman in the month of December. Seeing Amanda’s promise, Searvogel suggested she go for the women’s record, saying

people though, this type of riding—riding that is not fun—inevitably leads them to wonder, why? What is the point of all this? As she gets one day closer to the record, endorphins begin rushing through her body—she feels a sense of euphoria. During my visit to Flatwoods, I pose this question to one of Amanda’s friends, Jared Barr, a marketing officer at Florida College. Jared had just gotten into cycling when he met Amanda and Kurt Searvogel, and he logged his own first-ever century ride with them at the park. He’s since become hooked on the sport, lost of a bunch of weight himself, and recently began mountain biking at Flatwoods with his 12-year-old son. Before Jared answers, he takes a long breath and thinks for a moment. “On the surface,the seven-mile time trial. When my speed drops, she tells me to pick it up. She tells me I’m doing great, and points out trail hazards, like a bunny that bounds across my path. I hug the inside of the turns, and pedal harder where I would normally begin to fade. As we reach the end of the lap, I empty my tank and meet my own goal, averaging 25mph. Amanda stops riding, a rare sight during her day, and gives me a fist bump. She’s as stoked as I’m exhausted. I tell her that was fun. Then she takes off again. She'd go on to log more than 270-miles three days in a row, and then record her 302-mile ride just two days before finishing the attempt on Sunday, May

While Graffeo didn't offer specific reasons for stepping down, she had cited issues of control and ego in her decision to leave after 2½ years on the job. The Economic Development Authority board was also told Thursday that Graffeo's pay and severance package would be paid out of EDA reserves, something EDA Chairman Charley Johnson said was a surprise. Johnson said the decision to hire Downtown Moorhead Inc. to handle economic development highlighted the issue of whether the EDA would have a true say in economic development. "How is this better? And who is his boss?" Johnson asked Volkers. Johnson

asked who LaPoint would work for: the whole city or downtown Moorhead business interests? He asked who might get priority if a business was looking for a large space, the long-vacant Sam's Club near Interstate 94, or the recently emptied Herberger's store in downtown's Center Mall. LaPoint said he would be working for all. "We're not here to broker the spaces," LaPoint said, but to provide businesses with contacts they could use to make decisions.

On January 31, 2006, Ms. Ashby was seen with complaints of left shoulder and low back pain after slipping on a wet plastic ground cover. This was also not work related. The diagnosis was contusion of the left shoulder and low back. On October 10, 2007, Ms. Ashby was seen with complaints of lower back pain. She bent over and felt a pop in her lower back, which was not work related. The records indicate it was difficult to examine due to her pain.

"Karen" is generally characterized as an irritating, entitled woman, sometimes as an ex-wife who took custody of "the kids." In 2020, the term was broadly applied to a swath of white women who had been filmed harassing people of color, including dialing the emergency services on them for no criminal reason. Origin While it's unclear where exactly "Karen" began seeing use as a pejorative character, it perhaps started with the Oh My God, Karen, You Can’t Just Ask Someone Why They're White meme from Mean Girls. Others believe that the popularity of the name may come from the character Karen from the 1989 gangster film Goodfellas (clip below). Some believe that usage of the name as a perjorative

The subreddit is devoted to mocking the character in jokes that characterize "Karen" as annoying. Many jokes revolve around the character having a specific style of haircut indicating her character (examples shown below). On March 18th, 2018, Urban Dictionary user Cody Kolodziejzyk posted a definition of "Karen" as an annoying middle-aged white woman. In late 2018, a series of jokes spread in which "Karen" is an ex-wife had taken the kids in a custody battle, many of which appear in the She Took the Fucking Kids meme.

The eighth graders went to school almost an hour early and hung posters in every girls' bathroom and locker room in the Oakland Township school. At a sleepover, the girls made 16 neon colored posters with the words "Take what you need" on top. The poster was set up like a "For sale" sign with tabs across the bottom that girls could rip off. On the tabs were written words such as love, hope, strength, courage, understanding, loyalty and patience. Afterward, the entire

150,000 Serbs arrived in Corfu.Many of the injured and sick soldiers were sent to Vidos, but the poor living conditions and hygiene meant that 30,000 of them died on the island. Therefore it has since been called the ‘island of death”.Due to the small size of the island, it soon became necessary to bury the dead in the sea (by weighting the corpses with rocks to prevent them from floating). Over 5,000 people were buried at sea near the island of Vidos, where the waters are known as the Blue Sea Tomb. We walked through the woods on rough stony tracks and followed an ancient brick wall, probably built centuries ago by those cunning Venetians, who once owned the island between the 16th and 19th centuries.It was reminiscent ofand green shutters and a balcony, this once majestic house had been long abandoned, and was now a ruin.

At the front of the old house, leading down from the grand pillared entrance, were many steps, which eventually

Part of the taverna, overlooking Corfu town. There was a tiny harbour close by with a tiny beach.Behind the beach was a memorial to the Serbian soldiers who had died in the war,and a strange circular building which may have once been part of a church. We carried on down the path leading eastwards,and a huge cruise liner appeared in the sea behind the trees, moving slowly towards its berth in Corfu harbour.

the voluntariness of the plea. The defendant testified that he was thirty-two years old and understood English; that he understood that he had certain constitutional rights, including trial by jury, the right to confront the witnesses against him, the right not to incriminate himself, and the right to testify in his own behalf; that he understood that the charge of possession, and that the two priors had been dismissed; that the statutory punishment for his crime was from five years to life, with no parole until after serving three years; that regardless of any conversations between defendant and his attorney, the actual sentence was in the court's discretion; and that no threats or promises had been made to him. The court then asked defendant to state in hislast time. Sentence was imposed on January 5, 1970. On March 9, 1970 a hearing was held on defendant's motion to set aside the judgment. An interpreter was again used, and the defendant and four witnesses sought to establish that the plea of guilty should not have been accepted by the court. Defendant admitted receiving two letters from his attorney. They are in the record. The first one, dated November 4, 1969 reported to defendant that counsel had obtained an offer to dismiss one charge and the priors, in return for a plea of guilty on the charge of selling marijuana. The second letter, dated December 15, 1969, stated that the deal was a good one, that it would be followed by a mitigation hearing, and that defendant should

As the Obama administration runs out of time and energy, an array of world leaders including Kim Jong-un, Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin are celebrating their frustration of American designs. But the unlikely source of the signature defeat of Obama’s policy agenda is no enemy, but rather a close ally and recipient of unprecedented American largesse – Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The failure of the Obama “red line” on settlements during his first year in office set the model for future shortcomings elsewhere, notably in Syria. His demand for an end to the building of settlements offered a preview of his later demands upon Assad. In both cases, United States officials believed that the fulfilment

former Israeli deputy foreign minister, was not alone in assessing the damage suffered by Obama. “He forgot that he is the US president, and that every action of his, even killing a fly, is scrutinised by billions of eyes and every word of his is weighed and has an effect. This way, at the end of a wasted year and without any bad intentions, his statements inflicted another blow on the chances of promoting something in our region.” The lesson that Obama could not even move an ally and dependent state like Israel to submit to an American policy agenda on an issue deemed critical by the US president himself was not lost on America’s adversaries.

Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent, to moderates like West Virginia's Joe Manchin and Virginia's Mark Warner. Noticeably absent: a leader of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee for the upcoming two-year political cycle, which is stacked against the party. Democrats and independents backing them will have to defend 25 seats, compared with just eight Republican ones, and many of the Democrats will be running in states that Trump carried easily like North Dakota, Montana and West Virginia. Both parties picked their leaders following an election that saw the Republican Trump unexpectedly capture the White House and the GOP suffer only minor losses while retaining House and Senate control. Yet even as both parties agree that voters were demanding

change, both parties' key Senate posts remained largely unchanged. Schumer was the key exception, but his ascension to replace the retiring Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., was long expected. Trump's Pick of Steve Bannon Draws Criticism McConnell and Schumer were elected unanimously at separate closed-door meetings. McConnell is widely popular among his GOP colleagues and his selection was never in doubt. The 74-year-old has a genteel manner but has proven to be a coolly effective leader, steering his party through a long battle over a Supreme Court vacancy and the stormy — though ultimately successful — presidential candidacy of Trump. McConnell was Senate minority leader for eight years before becoming majority leader when the GOP took control in 2015. He's pushed a conservative agenda while cutting budget deals with President Barack Obama.

The constitutive heterochromatin in chromosomes of Fritillaria Sp., as revealed by Giemsa banding. The incidence of C-bands (constitutive heterochromatin), as determined by differential Giemsa staining, was studied in the chromosomes of 56 species, varietal forms and subgenera of Fritillaria and 30 of them are illustrated. With the exception of the subgenera Korolkowi, a supposed link between lilies and fritillaries, and chromsome complements of all plants contained bands. There were wide differences in the size and number of these bands among species both within and between groups. In those with the largest and most abundant bands, there was a pronounced tendency for centromeric localization, both in Old and New World species. The Giemsa positive centromeres were masked when this occurred. Heteromorphy in respect of banding occurred in most species.

When Tony Charnell left school, he joined the Rootes Group in Coventry as an apprentice. There he developed his lifelong interest for cars and competition. He married and in 1964 moved to Scotland. It was at about this time that he took part in his first competitive event, a night rally in which Tony entered driving a van.

Bicyclist critically injured in NYC truck accident A bicyclist suffered critical injury after being struck by a tractor trailer truck in New York City. The accident happened yesterday morning around 7:15 am at the intersection of Jay Street and Tillary Street in Brooklyn. According to Streetblog the truck struck the bicyclist while making a right from Jay onto Tillary. The victim, a 35 year old man, got stuck under the truck. His left leg was completely mangled and he suffered massive head trauma according to the NY Daily News. He was transported to the hospital in critical condition. The truck driver stayed at the scene of the accident and hasn’t been charged. The truck was a tractor trailer truck belonging to Mountain Man Sand and Gravel. The truck was onan authorized truck road however it was larger than 55 feet long. Trucks larger than 55 feet long are only allowed in New York City if they transport material that is “non-divisible” and have special authorization. In the case of this accident, the Gothamist indicates that the truck was a Mac trailer Dump truck. There is a high probability that the truck was not legally authorized to drive where the accident happened. This is the second time this year that a bicyclist has been struck by an over-sized truck driving in a pedestrians and bicyclists area. In April, a cyclist died after being struck by a tractor trailer truck which was illegally driving in a Brooklyn residential area (see previous blog). Jay Street is considered one of the most

dangerous streets for bicyclists in New York City. Recently, the DOT started to remodel the street and add protected bike lanes. However at the intersection of Jay and Tillary protective bike lanes are still nonexistent. Since the beginning of the year, 3 people were injured in bicycle accidents at this intersection according to Vision Zero Map. Also according to data from Transportation Alternatives there were 41 pedestrian and bicyclist accidents at this location between 2002 and 2011.1075’ – Shortage on the Colorado River is a CLIMAS podcast series that explores what the first ever shortage declaration on the Colorado River would mean to those living in the Southwest.

The most interesting politician in America is nearly 7 feet tall and campaigns in dive bars John Fetterman doesn't need to explain to anyone why he's not a typical candidate. The nearly 7-foot tall, tattooed, bald man with a bristly beard doesn't only stand out among a crowd of suit-and-tie politicians — he just stands out, period. But the Harvard-educated mayor of Braddock, Pennsylvania, has similar aspirations to many in that suit-and-tie crowd. He wants to win a Senate seat in 2016. And it could happen. "As anyone knows, looks can be deceiving," he told INSIDER. Fetterman, a Democrat, has been mayor of Braddock — a former steel-making town of 2,000 near Pittsburgh — since 2005. He's taking on former Congressman Joe Sestak and Katie McGinty, the former chief of staff to Pennsylvania Gov.Tom Wolf. Although he only announced his campaign in September, Fetterman's already favored by 14% in recent polls. Plus, he trails by just 7% in a recent head-to-head poll against incumbent Sen. Pat Toomey (R) conducted by Public Policy Polling. He's at a fundraising disadvantage at the moment. It's the biggest obstacle to his campaign. His competitors have raised millions of dollars, while the September Federal Election Commission report showed he has brought in about $170,000 in donations. Granted, that was within two weeks. "This is a television state; it's a big media state. He needs a minimum of $5 million and probably closer to $10 (million)," Terry Madonna, director for Franklin & Marshall College's Center for Politics and Public Affairs, told The Hill. Facebook/John Fetterman He's trying to make up that

season that has propped up so-called outsiders like Donald Trump and Ben Carson. He's far from one — even if he looks the part, he said. Immigration, gun control, and ending the war on drugs are three of the top issues he's campaigning on. He doesn't hold a surprising stance on any of the three for a Democrat, but his perspective on each is different. Fetterman's wife is from Brazil, and spent years as an undocumented immigrant. He supports comprehensive reform because, as he told The Nation, "I wouldn't have a family if it wasn't for immigration." A gun owner himself, he thinks the discussion of gun control goes hand in hand with ending the war on drugs. "I've been mayor of a town now for 10 years and I can definitivelyof those nine were the result of gun violence. The first killing inspired him to start tattooing the dates to his arm. "I was mayor for give or take 10 days," he said. "Less than two weeks for sure. And it was a pizza deliveryman. He was my age and he was married. He had a 2- or 3-year-old daughter. It was just such an awful and jarring experience to see the horror of a life thrown away for absolutely nothing." He's still haunted today by that man's death. "The thought that this man went out and just did his job and was delivering pizza and someone took his life over nothing," he said. "And he'll never get to see his wife again and he died alone on a cold dark

Meanwhile, all five vice presidential candidates have erected tents for the screening of delegates before they can proceed to the voting area where further screening is done by the Electoral Office of Jamaica.

Rare female pharaoh artwork found at Swansea University Published duration 23 March 2018 image copyright Swansea University image caption Hatshepsut was the fifth pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty (circa 1478-1458 BC) An Egyptian artwork that had languished in storage for over forty years has been identified as an extremely rare depiction of one of Egypt's few female pharaohs. The relief sculpture was discovered at Swansea University's Egypt Centre during a routine student handling session. It depicts Hatshepsut , one of just five women known to have ruled the empire. It came to the city in 1971 as part of Sir Henry Wellcome's collection. The discovery was made by Egyptology lecturer Dr Ken Griffin on International Women's Day. He said: "I was selecting objects for the handling session, and saw an old black-and-white photo of acarving which looked more interesting than the rest... when we realised what it truly was our jaws hit the floor - mine as well as the students'. "It wasn't until afterwards I realised it was International Women's Day; Hatshepsut certainly knows how to make an entrance." image copyright Swansea University image caption Second year Egyptology students witnessed the find The front side of the carving depicts the head of a figure. The face is missing, with the remains of a fan directly behind. Traces of hieroglyphs and the icon of the uraeus (cobra) on the forehead of the figure show it was a pharaoh. Dr Griffin has passed on his findings to the Polish Archaeological Mission to Egypt, which has been excavating, restoring, and recording the temple of Hatshepsut at Deir el-Bahri since

In the seven weeks since she became the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has joined a protest staged in Nancy Pelosi's office, established a new standard to pay interns $15 an hour, tussled with Sen. Lindsey Graham and the president's eldest son on Twitter and made rumblings about stirring a primary challenge against a new member of House leadership from her own state. Before this 29-year-old Democratic socialist Latina from the Bronx is even sworn in to the House next week, she's become one of the most influential figures in the Democratic Party – and the unordained leader of a flock of progressive renegade freshman females hellbent on breaking the norms of the institution and challenging the notion that seniority means supremacy. Many of their electoral victoriesover a quarter of the class – totalling 63 members – will be freshmen. And during the transition period, a handful of incoming members – self-described as the "squad" – have signaled their intentions to rock the boat. They not only look different than your father's stodgy, old, whitebread Congress, they're making moves both substantive and symbolic that break with protocol and tradition. And they aren't doing it quietly. Michigan's Rashida Tlaib, who at 42 years old is the first Palestinian-American woman elected to the House, raised eyebrows when she announced she would lead a delegation to her mother's native West Bank rather than partake in the traditional freshman trip to Israel. She said she hoped to humanize the plight of Palestinians in the Israeli-occupied territory and show new members

a part of the story that's not been included in the usual voyage sponsored by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. She's also a vocal supporter of the "BDS" movement, which advocates for boycotting, divesting and sanctioning Israel for its treatment of Palestinians. During freshman orientation, it was Tlaib who joined Ocasio-Cortez in calling out former White House adviser Gary Cohn for telling the newbies, "You guys are way over your head, you don't know how the game is played." "No, Gary," Tlaib responded, "YOU don't know what's coming – a revolutionary Congress that puts people over profits." Her response earned more than 11,000 retweets and close to 49,000 likes. She also took to Instagram to reveal what she would wear for her swearing-in ceremony: a maroon-colored Palestinian gown, known asa thobe. Instead of a Bible, she'll take the oath on a Quran. "It's a real huge symbol," she said. "It's history. It's culture." Representative-elect Ilhan Omar looks on as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi speaks in Washington. Mandel Ngan/AFP/Getty Images Ilhan Omar, a 36-year-old Democrat from Minnesota, will become the first U.S. lawmaker to wear a headscarf or hijab on the House floor. With her November victory, Omar becomes the first woman of color to represent Minnesota in Congress as well as the first Muslim refugee and first Somali-American. When a conservative talk radio host complained that Omar would now make Congress "look like an Islamic republic," she took him on directly. "Well sir, the floor of Congress is going to look like America," she wrote. "And you're gonna have to just

deal." "I really do believe the job description has changed," says Sarah Groh, the chief of staff for Democratic Rep.-elect Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts. "And I think what we're seeing with this incoming freshman class is, it is not a monolith. We are talking about a diverse class that comes with very personal and professional backgrounds in all walks of life." Like Ocasio-Cortez, the 44-year-old Pressley won her primary by activating an entirely new coalition. Fifty-three percent of voters in this year's Massachusetts' 7th Congressional District Democratic primary cast ballots for the first time, according to Groh. That means these freshmen feel more responsive to the freshly emboldened voices in their community than the formal party structure that consists of longtime local chairmen and fundraisers. During an orientation at Harvard's Kennedy SchoolDonald Trump or plant a flag as the governing-inspired resistance. The media will fixate on every Ocasio-Cortez utterance and position, giving her outsize influence in her caucus, especially among progressives. She broke with many Democrats in New York when Amazon announced it would locate one of its new headquarters in Long Island City. Ocasio-Cortez blasted the idea of doling out hundreds of millions of dollars in tax breaks to a $100-billion dollar company "at a time when our subway is crumbling and our communities need more investment, not less." Some Democratic strategists believe she'll impact the positions of 2020 presidential candidates as the primary kicks into gear next year. "When she goes after people, people are going to pay attention to it," says an adviser to one contender. "It's going to

resonate." But she'll also likely become the favorite target of Republicans, who gleefully pounce on her mistakes and mock her as an ill-informed radical. After years of making Pelosi their favorite political pinata, the GOP may have finally found a more resonant antagonist. Additionally, Democrats who narrowly won traditionally red districts in Virginia and Kansas may be loathe to see their party be driven by a hard-line socialist from the Bronx. Still, Ocasio-Cortez, along with her sisters-in-arms, possess a potent ingredient that will make them formidable even if they aren't foolproof: fearlessness. "People in her community are coming up to her every day and telling her, 'Don't just fall in line, don't just go in there and do nothing. You need to fight,'" said Saikat Chakrabarti, Ocasio-Cortez's incoming chief of staffInjured Toronto Raptors forward Jared Sullinger‘s timeline to return could be anywhere in the range of 2-3 months, team president Masai Ujiri told reporters on Monday.

Breitbart: Guy Who Called For Mass Killing Of Muslims Doesn't Work For Us A spokesman for the conservative news organization Breitbart said on Thursday it has been years since the company had any ties to a right-wing filmmaker who wrote a tweet calling for the mass killing of Muslims. The author of the tweet was Patrick Dollard, who describes himself on his Twitter account as a "contributing journalist at Andrew Breitbart's Big Government, Big Peace, Big Hollywood." "If there is even one more act of Muslim terrorism, it is then time for Americans to start slaughtering Muslims in the streets, all of them," Dollard wrote Wednesday. As of Thursday morning, it had been retweeted more than 500 times. Kurt Bardella, a spokesperson for Breitbart, told TPM that Dollard is not in fact withSanatorium D'Aincourt aka Sanatorium De Vexin aka Fleurs De Ruine: France May 2014 Sanatorium D'Aincourt is set in the Natural Park Of French Vexin.

Various designs were submitted and the eventual decision was to go with the design by the architects Edward Crevel and Paul-Jean Decaux. Building work started in 1931 by the Lauret Paris construction company and finished in 1933. With each building standing at 220 metres in length and 12 metres wide it was one of the largest sanatoriums built in the 20th century. The sanatorium consisted of three large identical pavilions set 400 metres apart on the hillside to reduce the risk of infection. Due to conflict in 1940

patients were evacuated to various treatment centres. Later in the year military authorities commandeered the sanatorium and it became a prison camp. In May 1941 667 inmates were held captive and around 1500 inmates passed through here during the war. Hundreds of inmates were deported to various concentration camps including Auschwitz, sadly only a handful returned. Eventually after the war in 1946 the sanatorium reopened, due to medical science and advancement in technology the need for sanatoriums dwindled and in 1972 the hospital became more diverse caring for a number of different illnesses. In 1988 and 2001 two separate pavilions closed only leaving one which still operates till this day. On the very last image you will find a piece of work by the graffiti artist ROA.

The LAUSD Board of Education took the action at its Feb. 14 meeting to send the notices to all certificated contract level management and senior management employees of the classified service with expiring contracts, as well as all non-school based administrators in specified positions, telling them they could be released or reassigned for the coming school year.

The Commission initially determined that Sellers did not qualify for regular benefits because he had earned insufficient wages. This was a mistake. Because of this mistake, the Commission determined that Sellers was eligible to receive Federal Supplemental Compensation Benefits in the amount of $105 per week. Sellers received his weekly benefit for the weeks February 9, 1985 through March 30, 1985, for a total benefit of $669. After reevaluating Sellers' claim the Commission discovered he was indeed eligible for regular unemployment benefits of a maximum of $41 per week. However, because he was entitled to regular benefits, Sellers was actuallyineligible for the Federal Supplemental Compensation benefits he had been receiving, since he had not exhausted the regular benefits. Sellers was entitled to a total of $91 in regular benefits for the weeks of February 23, 1985, through March 23, 1985. This amount was credited to the $669 incorrectly paid, leaving an overpayment to Sellers of $578. On June 5, 1985, the Commission's chief of benefits sent Sellers a letter which 1) informed Sellers that he had been overpaid $578, and 2) requested restitution. Sellers appealed this decision, and a hearing before an appeals referee was held on June 24, 1985. The referee heard testimony from Sellers and on June 26, 1985, rendered his findings upholding the determination of an overpayment only and did not mention the restitution aspect whatsoever. In

The present invention relates to a measuring platform consisting of components, in particular a cover plate and a base part, joined by at least one force transducer between them. Such measuring platforms, as are employed typically in biomechanics, serve to measure forces in one or more directions, and occasionally torques as well. For example the foot forces of a person walking are measured, whereby the vertical component, the horizontal component in the direction of walking, and the lateral force component are analyzed. The cover plate is usually level with the ground, while the base part may consist of a base plate or frame and be installed permanently in the floor, in a recess in a gangway for example. However the base part may also consist of only four feetThis copy is for your personal non-commercial use only.

(April 3, 2008) (LARRY MacDOUGALL / CANADIAN PRESS) Thu., April 3, 2008 Hayley Wickenheiser's teammates are celebrating the hockey star's ranking of 20th on Sports Illustrated's list of the 25 toughest athletes. Wickenheiser, from Shaunavon, Sask., was the second of just two women on the list published yesterday, coming in behind British

triathlete Chrissie Wellington, who was No. 10. Wickenheiser is captain of the Canadian women's team currently in Harbin, China, preparing for the world championship that starts tomorrow. "I think it's great for our sport in general and it's pretty cool it's a Canadian girl," defenceman Carla MacLeod said. "Any time you can get our sport on a stage like that with Sports Illustrated, it's awesome." Golf superstar Tiger Woods was ranked first overall. Article Continued Below "Geez, only nineteen away. That's about how many shots I'd be behind him on a hole," Wickenheiser joked today. "Just for them to pay attention and pick somebody in women's hockey, you know you're on the radar," she added.

Secrets of Atlantis is based on the fabled sunken city from Ancient Greek mythology and it has been designed by Net Entertainment, meaning that players can rightfully expect some spectacular spinning visuals. The 5-reel and 40-payline game is also fairly pleasant to play, thanks to its wealth of unique extra features, such as both way wins, colossal symbol re-spin and a nudging extended wild. Will you be able to find the lost city of Atlantis and take home some long lost treasures? Lost City of Riches One of the first mentions of Atlantis was in the allegorical works of Plato, in which the ancient philosopher uses the island city as a means to show

the comparative strength and superiority of a true nation state. However, the island is perhaps best known for its eventual demise, after which the gods of Greek Mythology condemn the city to sink to the bottom of the Atlantic ocean. Even to this day, there are people who still speculate as to the location of the lost city, using clues and guesswork in the hope that they might find some lost treasures lurking at the bottom of the sea. Players who spin this slot machine will not be able to find the real Secrets of Atlantis, but they will be treated to the chance to win some decent cash prizes. Plus, the game is also a delight to behold, depicting all of the ancient mystery that a sunken city shouldoffering punters the chance to match up the smaller symbols on reels 1 and 5 with the colossal icon in the middle. And if that happens, the wins will be paid as normal, which is to say that there will be multiple paylines triggered for some colossal prize totals. Underwater Adventure The new NetEnt slot machine presents a very impressive set of visuals for video slot fans who like their games to be big, bold and full of wonders. Admittedly, the slot machine doesn't have the potential to award the biggest line bet multiplier jackpots in the business, but it will still throw up plenty of exciting bonus action with its colossal icons, re-spins and nudging wild mermaid features.

were well placed power shots coupled with same time speed. It was a rare combination of power and speed exhibited. In round six Pacquiao was thumping hard shots to the body which could clearly be heard over the TV audio. In round eleven Pacquiao, by way of referee stoppage, finished Barrera on the ropes. When he had Barrera hurt, and on the ropes, there was no let up in the pounding he was providing. He had immense “killer instinct”; not the same this Manny Pacquiao, not the same at all! It does seem a long time ago, that Barrera era, that a certain segment of Filipino guerrillas were threatening to kidnap Manny, who was constantly surrounded by six bodyguards, and it does seem a long time ago that thereimmediate and successful comebacks not the least of which includes the following: 1. Lennox Lewis being knocked flat by the Rock Rahman, only to return in an immediate engagement to knock the Rock off his block. 2. Joe Louis being flattened in his first fight with Schmeling and going on to have the most successful heavyweight championship reign in history. 3. Duran being put to sleep by a Hearns right hand, only to return to win the middleweight title against Iran Barkley, the same man who, in his previous fight had stretched Thomas Hearns in the third round.

In 1955, Miles Davis hired an up-and-coming musician named John Coltrane to play in his group. Over the next couple of years, the team-up produced some incredible music, but the personal relationship between the trumpeter/leader and the saxophonist was never steady. Backstage at a gig in the spring of 1957, Miles slapped Coltrane and then punched him in the stomach; Trane’s only response was to quit the band. Coltrane returned to join Davis’ sextet later in the year, but during that short time away he had continued to make a name for himself as a group member, bandleader and recording artist in his own right. Trane played on Miles’ Kind of Blue (1959), now considered one of the cornerstones of the jazz genre, and accompanied Davis on a European

tour in 1960, but mentally he was focused on his own music. Miles later admitted Coltrane “was ready to move out before we left.” The spring 1960 European tour was spread out over twenty cities in nine countries. The new boxed set, All of You: The Last Tour, 1960 includes recordings from eight of those performances. Though the Quintet sounds fantastic as a unit, Coltrane’s solos are so unusual they caused quite a stir at the time. Kind of Blue is a lovely record that is also easy on the ears, but Trane was doing his best to make this music sound ugly. Journalist Frank Tenot witnessed the first show of the tour in Paris: “People were very surprised why there was no John Coltrane like on Kind of Blue.I found myself waiting for Coltrane to step up and blow me away. And he would do just that. Every time. It’s fascinating to hear him push the material—and thus, the band—especially as this was Miles’ group, not his. The fact that we now know he had mentally moved on from his role with Davis, as well as facing negative reactions to his output, only makes listening to these tracks all the more absorbing. The Miles Davis Quintet returned to the states on April 11th, and it wouldn’t be long before Coltrane would make his exit. By then, Trane had made a name for himself and was well on his to becoming one of the titans of jazz. Some of the recordings on the boxed set are taken from radio

a simple plant mutation, scientists have now found a recessive gene for the anomoly. In fact, there are no known limits as to how many leaves a clover can have. According to Guinness, the world record for the most leaves on a clover stem has been held by Shigeo Obara of Japan since 2002 when he discovered a clover with 18 leaves. He bested his record a few years later with a 21-leafed clover. And in 2009, he was credited with finding a clover with no less than 56 leaves!!! How lucky is a clover with more than four leaves? In Ireland and a few other places, it’s said that it brings nothing but bad luck. In other places, there’s a different meaning for each clover according to leafAmerica Burning The Yarnell Hill Fire Tragedy and the Nation's Wildfire Crisis Story by Stacey Solie Dec. 30, 2013 – When a crew of wildland firefighters hiked into the brown hills of central Arizona on June 30, they were determined to fight fire in a grassy wildland mottled by developments and choked with dry scrub, in a place that hadn’t seen significant flames since 1966. It was hot. Radios across the region blared warnings about the rising mercury, the whole of the Southwest sweltering. Phoenix had hit a record 119 degrees the day before, and in the mile-high town of Prescott, 90 miles northwest, thermometers were showing triple digits for the third day in a row. It was not only hot, it was dry. After an unusually warm spring and less than an

inch of precipitation since early February, the sun had been sucking out every drop of moisture from an already parched landscape, leaving grassy wildlands mottled by developments and dry scub. The area hadn’t seen a major burn in more than 40 years. That was about to drastically change. The dry heat compounded the task set before the two dozen or so wildland firefighters that had been called out to help control a fire started by a lightning strike on the evening of Friday, June 28. Because it was dark and not easy to reach, an Arizona Forestry Division commander decided against trying to put out the less than an acre fire that evening. The next day, six inmates from a state prison were helicoptered to the fire that wasdancing atop a mountain ridge cluttered with granite boulders and thick chaparral scrub. By noon, the fire was still less than eight acres. More firefighters were called in, and by mid afternoon, the state commander, thinking the fire was contained, began releasing crews and equipment. But late afternoon, winds fanned the flames, and by early evening the fire was burning out of control in the scrubby, hilly rangeland 32 miles southwest of Prescott, Arizona. In 36 hours the flames had gone from a small brush fire to more than 500 acres that threatened hundreds of people who lived in the scattered homes and villages of Yarnell, Peeples Valley and Glen Ilah. By late Saturday night, the state called in additional reinforcements, including two of the nation’s 110 Interagency Hotshot Crews,

that specialize in controlling wildfires. Nearly all hotshots are attached to federal land management agencies with most assigned to the U.S. Forest Service. Early Sunday morning, June 30, the Granite Mountain Hotshot crew, the only crew in the United States that is part of a municipal fire department, left their home base at the Prescott Fire Department, and began hiking through the dense high desert scrub. By sunset that evening, 19 members of the crew would be dead, trapped in a box canyon, engulfed in flames, six hundred yards short of the nearest town. Only the crew’s lookout, who was whisked out of danger by another hotshot crew, would survive. While investigators have pieced together many of the minute-to-minute events, documenting exactly where and how the fire spread and the myriadare not from the truly wild fires, burning far from civilization, but instead come from places where homes and entire neighborhoods are constructed in the midst of forests and grasslands. In the 1990s alone, an estimated 8.4 million homes were built in what fire experts call the wildland-urban interface or, fire-prone natural areas that abut settlements, according to a 2006 U.S. Forest Service report. The Arizona Republic tabulated more than 257,000 new homes in fire-prone areas statewide, and 32,000 in the Prescott Valley. “Urban sprawl is colliding with wild lands,” said Stephen Pyne, a fire historian at Arizona State University, who has written several books about wildfire and is also a former hotshot. “That matters because these two don't mix. Fires in one don't belong in the other.” U.S. forests and

The fire that would soon take 19 lives would also burn over 100 homes and structures, not sparing even the Shrine of St. Joseph’s retreat center, which lost a gift shop, two dormitories, a caretaker’s house and a crucifix.

This all without the help of his privileged family, he rushes to point out. "The bad thing is," Tamir says of peoples' perceptions of his upbringing, "people think I can just fund my own projects, that I can do it all myself. But the reality is, my parents haven't given me a single cent. Every time I start a new project, my dad tells me that I'm not getting a cent from him." Tamir is behind smartphone game Impossible Dial, which he started with his mate Ben Pasternak at age 16 after he was sent by his parents to Victoria's Geelong Grammar boarding school following his attendance at Sydney's eastern suburbs school, Moriah College. Impossible Dial was sold for $85,000, a figure Fairfax Media can reveal for theto know which is better: Coke Zero or Diet Coke? We will be able to ask our users and tell them what young people say." Contra was originally launched in a beta in April this year to test scalability, however was quickly recognised by Apple and featured in Best New Apps, Top 20 Networking Apps, and Top 20 Under 20 (apps developed by people under 20 years old). Apple then invited Tamir to the United States to attend its high profile developer conference, WWDC, and he and his co-founders have been working on the new version since, which went live last month and is more refined. His partners in Contra, introduced to him by his mate Ben, include Rohan Kapur, from Singapore, and Lenny Khazan, from New York, both

aged 18. While Tamir and his co-founders were not initially seeking capital for Contra, it is expected that they will commence meetings in San Francisco with potential partners and VCs this month, where Tamir says he hopes to finally meet his co-founders in person. "I'm very excited to meet them," he says. With no background in how to create apps himself, Tamir says he's now focussing on learning how to code so that he doesn't have to outsource development to people he has hired overseas. To do this, he has a tutor visiting him to teach him. "I want to rebuild Contra from the ground up," he says. Asked why he didn't go down the property route as his family have, he says that while he did work forhis great-uncle's company Meriton for a short period of time, he felt that tech was the way to go for him. "When I went to boarding school, I didn't really like it," he says. "That's where I found my passion in technology. It was a very good distraction." The secret to his past apps' successes? Using influential social media accounts to promote them. "There is this guy in St. Louis called Carlos," Tamir says. Carlos, says Tamir, operates and runs several popular Instagram accounts including Best Vines (8.9 million followers) and "Sarcasm only" (11.8 million followers). Tamir says he asked Carlos to promote his gaming apps on these accounts and then paid him a flat fee once the money came rolling in. "Games are very good and you can

A request has been made to both clubs to have the fixture reversed amid fears that planned demonstrations could have security implications on the game. Barcelona and Real Madrid’s Clasico meeting on October 26 could be moved from Camp Nou to the Bernabeu, with La Liga fearing that planned protests over Catalonian independence will affect the fixture. Indeed, Goal can confirm that the authorities in charge of Spain’s top division have spoken to both clubs and made a formal request that the match be reversed, meaning Madrid would host the first meeting between the two this season. Should the clubs agree, that would mean the return fixture, due to be played in March 2020, would be hosted at Camp Nou instead.

Hillary Clinton became the first woman to capture the presidential nomination of one of the country’s major political parties on Monday night, according to an Associated Press survey of Democratic superdelegates, securing enough of them to overcome a bruising challenge from Senator Bernie Sanders and turn to a brutal five-month campaign against Donald J. Trump. In a yearlong nomination fight full of surprise twists, from the popularity of Mr. Sanders to the success of Mr. Trump, the revelation that Mrs. Clinton had clinched the nomination was another startling development — especially coming on the eve of major primaries in California, New Jersey and other states. Mr. Sanders added to the drama by refusing to accept the A.P. survey and vowing to fight on, while Mr. Trump argued that heHere's some feel-good news for your Thursday, not to mention one of the most inspired applications of 3D-printing we've seen yet: a bald eagle with a prosthetic, 3D-printed beak. When this bald eagle, named "Beauty" by her caretakers, was shot in the face by poachers in 2005, her beak was demolished, leaving her unable to feed or even groom herself. Fortunately, animal rescue workers found her and brought her to volunteers at Birds of Prey Northwest, who have spent the last several years nursing her back to health. In that time, however, it became clear that Beauty's beak was permanently damaged, and that she would never be able to feed herself. Euthanasia, it seemed, was imminent.

Saints' starting pitcher Cody Wendorf turned in one of his better performances of the season. The senior left-hander consistently located his fastball for strikes, worked ahead in the count and kept the Rams off-balance with his off-speed pitches.

After nearly three decades reporting conflict from all over the world, Fergal Keane goes home to Ireland to tell the family story that lies at the root of his fascination with war. After nearly three decades reporting conflict from all over the world for the BBC, Fergal Keane goes home to Ireland to tell a story that lies at the root of his fascination with war. It's a family tale about how the ghosts of the past return to shape the present. Fergal's grandmother, Hanna Purtill, her brother Mick and his friend Con Brosnan, along with many of their neighbours, found themselves caught up in the revolution that followed the 1916 Easter Rising. They took up guns to fight the British Empire and create an independent Ireland. Many thousands of peopletook part in the War of Independence and the Civil War that followed. Whatever side they chose, all were changed in some way by the costs of violence. Fergal uses the experiences of his ancestral homeland in north Kerry to examine why people will kill for a cause and how the act of killing reverberates through the generations. In the first episode, Fergal recalls his father's tall stories about ghosts around the family home. But one such story, that of the murdered soldier on the street outside, turned out to have a basis in truth. Abridged by Anna Magnusson Produced by Pippa Vaughan A Loftus production for BBC Radio 4.

media censorship and an obvious ban in the news on reporting too much about these issues. On Wednesday March 27 2013, the EU transferred €148 Million to the “Palestinian Authority”, the corrupt dictatorial regime in Palestine, as the second part of its 2013 assistance package for Palestine (See EU PDF). Last January 15 2013, the EU transferred as the first part of its assistance package to the PA an amount of €100 Million. A further of €2 Million was allocated from 2012 funds to rebuild shelters for around 100 of the poorest Palestinian refugee families in Jordan’s Jerash refugee camp (See EU PDF). The EU Commission noted in its official statement that the amount allocated for the benefit of the Palestinian Authority is to be used for paying the salariesof Euros for the continuation of “security” coordination with Israel. Instead of protecting the Palestinians from the uncounted jewish criminal elements which have settled there under auspices of israel, the EU is financing crimes against humanity in Palestine.

Because health is a policy amenable developmental factor and the transition to elementary school is a critical intervention point in the educational career, such research provides leverage in attempts to address the persistent, overlapping race/ethnic and economic gaps in educational attainment in the early life course that forecast increasing inequalities in social mobility, morbidity, and mortality in adulthood.

NIH-funded data sets the Fragile Families and Child Well-Being Study, which oversamples the disadvantaged side of the socioeconomic spectrum of American families, and the NICHD Study of Early Child Care and Youth Development, which oversamples the more advantaged side and then supplement this quantitative investigation with analysis of qualitative data to be collected from teachers and parents in a low-income, racially diverse elementary school. This interdisciplinary, theoretically grounded, mixed-methods investigation is specifically designed to elucidate the role of child health in the reproduction of overlapping systems of race/ethnic and economic stratification in ways that directly inform social policy.This project delves into a timely and significant public health issue: the contribution of the connection between health problems and academic struggles in early childhood to the race/ethnic and economic stratificationHe left Brooklyn many years ago but Brooklyn never left him. His childhood was a rich gumbo of passions: the Dodgers, radio shows, comic books, 78 rpm records, stickball, punchball, movies, and of course the Dodgers. From these ingredients his life's main interests were formed: jazz, classical music, writing, and (still) baseball. Brooklyn also gave him Brooklyn Girl, who has been his best friend for more than half a century. One lucky kid.

What's needed here is art, I thought, not science. Why not try Russian? After all, the song's composer-lyricist, Israel Isidore Baline, was born in Russia, and the language and music of the land was in his blood.

HOUSTON -- Since the Astros won the World Series, it has been nothing but cheers and smiles for 8-year-old Chloe and her family."We've watched every single game," said Monica Beaver, Chloe's mom.Monica shared a video of Sunday's game against the Angels where you can see her excitement as she yells "Swing Batter."Chloe was especially happy after scoring a World Series ring of her own."It feels like I'm royal," she said."We don't get to scream and holler at home," Monica said. "It's one of the things she likes. It's a way to express her emotions."That's because Chloe was recently diagnosed with a rare disorder called DMDD or disruptive mood dysregulation disorder."It's basically she has a harder time with emotions than other 8-year-olds can," explained Monica. "It just makes dailylife a little harder. She has to stop and think what the right emotion is to certain things."Cheering on the Astros has been Chloe's outlet, but on that Sunday just before the 5th inning, Chloe says she got really sad. A second video captured that exact moment, just before Chloe burst into tears, when you can see another fan scold her for being too loud."(She made me feel) a little bit guilty 'cause I'm annoying and nobody says that to me," Chloe told Eyewitness News.Monica had no clue she had just recorded the woman telling her daughter to stop. She noticed it after the fact."I should have seen that immediately and I didn't and it's just heartbreaking," Monica said.She took to social media to talk about Chloe's disorder

transportable power supply substation is a power supplying equipment in which power supplying devices such as, for example, a transformer, an interrupter, a disconnecting switch unit and so on are mounted on the trailer truck. Accordingly, the transportable power supply substation is very conveniently used for various purposes and in various places, because it is very easy to set in place by the simple construction thereof. There are, however, serious and troublesome problems in case where a power supply substation is transported. Particularly, a current interrupter unit used for the high voltage is convenient to install and to transport, because it is large in size and heavy in weight. Specifically, the electrical power supplying machines such as the transformer, the current interrupter and a disconnecting switch unit are,in general, arranged on the trailer truck along with the length of the trailer truck. The electrical power machines must also be installed on the trailer truck spaced apart at a given distance from each of adjacent machines in order to maintain the insulation distance. The three-phase current interrupter must be mounted on the trailer truck so that its arranging direction is perpendicular to the length direction of the trailer truck to obtain the insulation distance from the other neighbouring machines. In this case, it is very inconvenient to transport, since the length of the three-phase current interrupter extends over the limit of transportation.

In 1990, H and D, husband and wife, established a living trust. The terms of the trust provided for an allocation of trust assets between two separate trusts, Trust A and Trust B, upon the death of the first spouse. Initially, all assets were to be placed in Trust A except to the extent disclaimed by the surviving spouse. Disclaimed assets were to be placed in Trust B. The surviving spouse was also granted a power of appointment effective at death over Trust A. H died on Dec. 30,March 6, 1998. No probate proceeding was maintained on behalf of the estate. The executor and special administrator of decedent’s estate, Peggy D. Mattson (Ms. Mattson), resided in California at the time the petition in this case was filed. Decedent and Samuel Engelman (Mr. Engelman) were husband and wife. On January 10, 1990, in California, they executed a declaration of trust placing their assets into the Engelman Living Trust. The instrument named the settlors, decedent and Mr. Engelman, as the initial trustees of the trust and set forth provisions regarding administration and disposition of the trust estate. The trust declaration provided generally that, while both settlors were alive, the trustees were to distribute income or principal as the settlors directed. Upon

The Vail Spot's Amazon Store Chris Muir's Day by Day Sunday, July 08, 2012 The President says, “most people would acknowledge that I’ve tried real hard”. —The same President that for nearly four years has blamed his own trackless failures and protracted ineffectiveness on his predecessor, President Bush, when for his first two years in office his party had majorities and control of both the House and the Senate as well as the White House. When that started to wear thin, he blamed a “particularly harsh Winter”. When it wasn’t the snow anymore, he then blamed the Arab Spring, the uprisings in Egypt and the shortages of oil from Libya to Europe. Then we were led to believe that his economic recovery plans of hundreds of billions in deficit spending could not withstand the BP

oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the Tsunami in Japan, floods in the mid-west, and finally an earthquake and a tropical storm both within a week. The President tells us that the villains are mother nature, big oil, wall street, corporations, the bankers, the insurance industry, the coal miners, the millionaires and billionaires, congress, global warming, and the Texas wild fires. How are we are going to get back on track with an administration whose policies work contrary to an expanding private sector from which all of our prosperity comes —the creators of real sustaining jobs within organizations that have essential private risk taking and recourse to keep them going concerns with recurring and regular payrolls. Dump this creed of redistributive wealth by government ration including a Secretary of Agriculturethe same as restricting access to the same. Again, this is a President who chooses the venue of a high school to say all this. This is the same President who rewards Sandra Fluke and her outspoken college behavior at Georgetown University with a telephone call from the White House last March. At every opportunity this President repeatedly tells our young people at commencement how our Constitution is a “fundamentally flawed document” as he seeks to disassociate our young from the founding fathers of our republic and inculcates a huge false sense of entitlement in our young with his own revisionist account of American history. Just what message is this to our young people from the President of the United States, and just what business does he have in doing this at

as fore former assistant secrety morton stated in a letter to cook county, a well-known sanctuary jurisdiction, "it is 6:34 pm fundamentally inconsistent for cook county to request federal reimbursement for the costs of detaining aliens who commit or are charged with crimes while at the same time thwarting immigration custom enforcement's efforts to remove those very same aliens from the united states." end of quote. this bill before us tomorrow morning when we vote responds to this hypocrisy by making sanctuary jurisdictions ineligible for the state criminal assistance program. another grant program limited to sanctuary jurisdiction is the community-oriented policing services -- or that's known around this town and locally as the cops program. these grant dollars help fund 6:35 pm community-oriented policing programs for local law enforcement agencies. our billthat's the end of the quote from the federal law enforcement officers ar association in the letter in support of our bill. while preventing restrictive liability to law enforcement, the bill also ensures the protection of civil liberties and the rights of individuals. federal law enforcement officers association noted that -- quote -- "the bill protects civil 6:39 pm liberties, ensuring that someone who has had their constitutional rights violated may sue." end of quote. finally, the bill addresses criminals attempting to reenter the united states and habitual offenders of our immigration laws. the bill creates a mandatory minimum sentence of five years for any alien who is an aggravated felon and who has been twice convicted of illegal reentry. thanks to many people, including tv's bill o'reilly, for keeping

from now when the polls close, 263 of them from québec and into its territories. right now they look east for the picture is about to come clear and 25 more runs so let's have a peek first of all in terms of what we have seen. you can see the scoreboard right 7:31 pm there in your screen. six liberals leading, two of them elected in newfoundland. one still to be heard from in that st. johns east which went to the ndp in the last go-round but a spectacular start to a local park where the votes counted 72% of the votes counted so far are for the liberal party of canada which is a huge increase, about double the percentage they had last time around. the st.we'll be looking at them as well to see what's happening but for the moment three people already elected at 7:34 pm all for the liberals in newfoundland. >> 15,000 votes counted in newfoundland already in almost three-quarters have gone to liberal so far. jack harris could alter that number obviously if he maintains the percentage lead that he has and st. johns east. rosie jump in him is because obviously jack harris is a key member of the liberal caucus. in terms of representation on the program he's always there with that quote. that would be if they are in trouble with jack harris that would be a devastating signal. >> sure, early days still but yeah he's one of the more senior members of the team. he's one

structural problems at the legions of a move the party to caesar's. they even had to cancel the sunday night nanny so you'd know but have a look here at the dance floor with where they were kicking up their heels later tonight. bill casey is as you say the 7:39 pm former conservative who held this seat for many elections and voted against the harper budget in 2007 and won the seat as an independent as well and was thought to have been her redemption that -- his mighty redemption that he retired from politics as you well now and he got the call to come back to liberals and tonight it's been a revenge for him you know may be appealing up make you mr. harper pay abut first i want to go to ian. there are more results coming in from new brunswick. at lease one potential surprise. >> let's take a look at the next two writings we have seen results from in new brunswick and new brunswick southwest is another writing where the conservatives consider this to be rock solid territory for them more than 50% of the popular vote in that writing. john williams and former columnist for the national post in second place in the liberals in first place there. in that the ndp result. let's see how the parties doing. this was a long time writing for the ndp in new brunswick. they just piled on the votes from election to election for the ndp. jason goad in smart

early look that has been reported both turning liberal red at the moment. >> not a huge surprise but it's 7:52 pm interesting that has been up as a tight race. they're all me for seats with every single seat count in the selection tonight. let's take a look at a couple of writings. this is egmont. gail shea is here. she's very well respected. she's the only tory elected last time in the election. valor -- very well respected but will her popularity away the unpopularity of stephen harper's conservatives there? very early results and is hard to tail but this is the fight to watch. winning the seat is a priority for the liberals. lawrence macauley and cardigan again early results he was solicitor general. he stands ait. i'm proud to represent an prattsburgh ramonic and at the end of the day that's what people went on. this is a policy driven campaign but also a campaign of optimism. i couldn't be prouder. >> have you had a conversation with justin trudeau? >> i have had zero discussions with him. believe me right now at this 8:57 pm moment you have one st. johns south. >> seamus o'regan thank you very much. the liberal mp elect for south st. johns. he's going back to the mainland as a member parliament. >> david cochran and seamus o'regan for the liberals. i was being very careful about saying no conversations and i'm sure he has had no conversations that everybody assumes he will be the new iraq cabinet minister.

and appeals have fallen silent, yours is the only voice the matters. the great engine of democracy has fired up powered by your simple but all important act of marking that little piece of paper. >> and here we are back at our election headquarters in downtown toronto that essay about voting, the importance of this day and the definition of the country that you are actually making tonight in your decisions coast to coast to coast, ballots across the country are still open,, and a huge part of the country, at least for another 28 minutes or so from québec right 9:04 pm through to alberta,alberta, parts of the north end up at the next top of the clock in british columbia. still some voting going on and somehe will be fine. >> part of that is because jack harris, not only that he has been an mp, but that he was a provincial member of the cabinet, well-known, leader of the party at one point. a long political history. you have that dual force of the party brand and the personal brand. going back he is a lawyer who represented a number of people. he is well-known, well-liked , the defense critic for the mvp. seeing mvp. seeing a name like that struggle and the night like tonight i think starts to tell us an interesting story about what is happening. >> thank you very much. lucky enough to reach out tonight to new brunswick and get the newly reelected liberal mp who joins us

in. the happiest man in canada at the moment. they were watching the results. let the camera snake in to give us a sense of what is happening inside the suite at the queen elizabeth hotel ii am assuming that is where he is because that is where the parties will be either celebrating are saying what happened. we did so well in atlantic canada. yes, that is margaret trudeau, former wife of the late period who was prime minister from 1968 to 1984 with one exception in 1979 when1979 when he was defeated in the federal election that year by joe clark. a family watching the results coming in montréal. 9:33 pm the 1st results coming out of this part of the province and it is here where wein a lot -- in and around montreal and outside of montreal and north of -- well north of montreal. the west island of montreal was kind of their power base. but look what happened through other parts of the province of quebec, which was the area of the orange crush, where they made the big breakthrough in 2011. wendy, tell us the story? >> that map really does tell the story that the liberal government, the big part of the start, came to pass here. they are now at about -- well, more, actually, than one-third of the seats in quebec. they were not expecting to do that. we saw around montreal the ndp hanging in, but andrew said if they got more than 40 seats they'd

pm even in places where liberals did not expect to make any progress. let me bring you through a few of them.them. and they are coming largely at the expense of the mvp. and i we will show you one more the tells the same story that diana is telling outside of toronto in the same when we are seeing systematically inside toronto, first-time smith, 10:31 pm lawyer for the liberal party is leading by 465 votes over the ndp incumbent. ndp incumbent greg scott. 10:32 pm his wife was a sitting mp you have mp at the time as well. she chose to resign that seat. she decided to go back and obtain a seat once again in the house of commons. she was not successful, and just in the last fewcountry and let's have a look, 1st of all, had what happened with the new prime minister has been reelected in pompano with an easy win for justin trudeau. there have been rumblings couple of weeks ago by some poll that came out of montréal that was suggesting that justin trudeau was in serious trouble. perhaps it wasperhaps it was true at the time. who knows. it was not true on election night as he wins handily. let's takehandily. let's take a look at the big picture because this is 10:35 pm important. by the end of the night tonight we will be looking at this big picture map which tends to overstate. but this does give you a sense of the kind of country we are creating tonight in

numbers, the liberals are big benefactors by coming up the middle. they are getting less than 35 percent of the vote. >> and then the key thing, tenten to a dozen, but that in the end works out to a 10:45 pm diversified majority, and the conservatives, that may be the one problem where the conservatives actually increase their seats, which helps with the splits, but is also a major defeat for the sovereignty movement and its brand-new leader who puts his face on every poster. he could not have had a better leader, and they look like there coming up short of official party status. >> i want to bring percent of the conversation in terms of the new prime minister. when he started in federal politics, apolitics, alot of people accused him of simply cashing in on his father's name and that he would make progress simply because he was the son. that happened when he ran and leader of the party, but in this campaign you have 10:46 pm never heard that. you did not win this campaign because he was a son. he ran the teefive he won -- he won the campaign because of what he spoke for an his desire. >> ironically, i believe there was no way for him to win this election unless she had been pushed down into 3rd place before the election,election, the people had a chance to evaluate him and his effort to improve and take a look at the other two possible outcomes and decide whether they

wanted it. the 1st challenge is to get ahead of the mvp. no question, fair to say that he ran a campaign fora campaign for the ages. this may have been the best that i have seen in my lifetime, and he is responsible for that. he hethat. he picks the people who ran the campaign, performed phenomenally himself. some of the more interesting numbers we were watching measuring attributes like works of art, tries to improve in addition to smart and ready to bpn where he 10:47 pm came from well behind to tie them in the final days, but he was way ahead of them on works hard, tries to improve, listens to get advice, that kind of thing. so his image has been transformed by the effortafter the 2011 campaign, but tonight they are down 12 and a half points, well under 20 pe, back to where they used to be in 32011 days. 4.2 percent, and others filling out the rest. 10:50 pm with me for a few moments, dmitri, former key figure in the conservative party, one of those people who was extremely close to harper for a long time had a falling out with the party, a falling out with stephen harper last year. gone for most of last year, but still close to a lot of people in the conservative party. one assumes you would be talking to them. knowing what you know, what is she thinking and doing tonight? at the same time i have a feeling that tonight he and

his family, his wife who has been by his side for all 10:51 pm four election campaigns have now grown and are becoming adults, it's probably in a better headspace that he has ever been before, leading his party as prime minister and leader with 100 plus seats, not a repeat of the 1993 election where the conservatives went from governing to down to seats. >> but he is leaving his party after a loss to the sun appear to go through throughout his career was kind of the archvillain to stephen harper. wanted to harper. wanted to destroy not just the liberal party but end the era of trudeau. >> ii am sure that is losing to justin trudeau is not something that makes them happy, and i amand focus groups and messaging but quite frankly very little. >> we have made that decision. >> ultimately the campaign manager decided that was what was going to win yet another government. 10:56 pm absolutely. the buck stops on the leader's desk. you are absolutely right. in 2011 when he won his majority and 2006 and 2008 he obviously deserves the credit and ultimately the buck stops on the leader's desk which is why we will see the 1st tent of stephen -- 1st hint of the stephen harper stepping down as prime minister given that his opponent has one, but i give a feeling that he will be hinting that he will not be leaving the conservative party as leader of the opposition. >> apparently telling reporters as we

two horse race and they would present themselves as the government in waiting and i think that accounts. >> they weren't the only ones about that. >> they thought it was going to come down to conservative race. stephen harper has entered the room and we are about to witness his remarks to his supporters. steven harper 56 your prime minister for the last almost 10 years and his wife maureen of course. shaking hands with supporters and those who have been at their side for all these years. nine years, eight months and eight days as prime minister. he will remain as prime minister for the next 10 days to two weeks until the swearing in of the new government. 11:52 pm the sixth longest in canadian history. hepassed sean chai shen in another couple of weeks actually 's time as prime minister. only five prime ministers have attempted to win for successive mandates. we started off by winning two minorities and then followed up with a majority. he is in select company with four successors and five that have attempted. only met donald m. -- had one successfully. steven harper would have tried. also lost at his attempt a fourth successive mandate. first elected in 1993 as a reform key candidate mp. 11:53 pm elected in 2002 by the canadian alliance and elected in 2004 as mpm lost that election in one and 2006. let's see how he handles his speech and his comments for conservatives and canadians. >> thank you very much. [applause] [applause] [chanting] [chanting]

the prime minister elect justin trudeau who will be speaking next. we expect within the next five minutes or so from his spot in montréal. steven harper shaking hands and heading for the exit in calgary. a difficult night one assumes for him and his family. there is maureen harper. 12:03 am not spending much time in the auditorium. he is a fixture of various campaign nights and election nights like this in the past, so once again as we await comments from the new prime minister justin trudeau lets talk about the comments we just heard from steven harper. andrew do you want to start us off? >> a very gracious tone. chipper, almost cheerful like he a had a wit off of his shoulder and i'm sure thegovernment that was all overly centralized in overly harsh overly autocratic and a lot of the message that justin trudeau was bringing was the opposite. it was much more upbeat a much more cheerful much less emphasis on controlling and fear etc. and it just does not have to happen. they were not condemned as we said before by the economy. >> he kept saying to the campaign and he was saying it by the end it was not about him but 12:05 am impact was about him. >> when you look at the popular vote he still wasn't reject it massively by the people who gave him a majority. it is only the dash that never wanted him onto home to elect him. otherwise he could have one. i'm

last -- number of people who said taxes and security were the top issue together was 10%. 12:07 am he failed to land that ballot question. he didn't seem remorseful about that. he said he took responsibility for the failure but it was a pretty quick acknowledgment. >> let me's throw something else on the table. the conservatives took a lot of heat and last for years from the people who did not like them and that's putting it mildly. they only represented 39% of the population and therefore more than 60% were against them. look at these numbers tonight. they are almost identical. the liberals are. >> that's our electoral system unfortunately. i don't think it was just the members come it was the style of government. you knowyou very much. 12:36 am >> there you have it justin trudeau and his wife and his definition of what real change means to him and what he wants to see happen to give credit where credit is due it wasn't him but the people who made the choice based upon what they said during the campaign. a lengthy speech, but clearly one that he wanted to make tonight for canadians coast to coast who are fascinated by this campaign, started apparently he was him third place said he just took off from the 12:37 am first week he did not look like the odd man on the stage that looks like he was part of the debate and from that day for rookie kicked up steam and certainly made the push

to certain parts of the country he broke through in quebec and ontario and did well in parts of manitoba not so well and saskatchewan but he did have a seat in every province in the country. that is always a marker for any prime minister takes office after defeating another government where is his representation? 12:38 am all across the country also just a few in alberta. let's look at the virtual parliament the is a liberal majority government 184 liberals. still some seats to be decided is there are some close races and numbers changed a little bit. 101 conservatives. 42 npd and one for the green party. susan was in the room listening twitter thoughts? >> what struck me about his speech i cents across canada pent-upto americans talking about that also say they don't have been automatically we have a special guest in a moment but to want to preface by telling a story of justin trudeau. talking about the harper interview on labor day weekend during the trudeau interview at the same time after was over we rejoin the cutaways, he went through a little speech to be underestimated his life to be under estimated from the election and estimates -- an estimated -- underestimated 12:41 am against the conservative senator and underestimated when he ran for a leadership of the party and he would be under estimated again during this campaign. he said he was always underestimated the he had confidence he could win and in every circumstance he did. with an italian

that story because of the history of our country on a one-person who has ever defeated a trudeau and that is the next best joining us from england having defeated trudeau in 1979 but has the record. it is very early in the morning in london. view had a chance to watch justin trudeau did you ever thank you would see that day? 12:42 am you saw justin growing up the same time your daughter was growing up. that must be a strange feeling to watch. >> and has been a strange feeling since he ran for leadership and one but his performance has ben extraordinary and demonstrated who he was. and the father clearly has proven his sense of strength that least so far the prime minister elective donerecovered can exert their effects of improving the properties of wheat flours and bread to a satisfactory extent especially when this substance is incorporated to the farinaceous bread flour at a smaller proportion than said new water-insoluble, modified gluten product now prepared by the present inventors. On the other hand, in recent years, various machines such as the dough divider, rounder, molding machine and so on have been employed in the process of making bread in large scale. Particularly, the dividing and scaling of the dough into small balls or masses and the making-up of these small masses of the dough are conducted by machines rather than by hands of men. However, when the dough masses have been divided, scaled and made-up by the mechanical working of the machines,

of urgency and top priority the police have placed on his capture. Contrast that unprecedented bounty, for instance, with the reward that was offered for alleged drug lord Peter Lim: a measly P500,000. Lim, the subject of an arrest warrant since 2017, has yet to be found. In 2017, President Duterte also offered P3 million for the capture of cops involved in illegal drugs, and P2 million for cops involved in the Parojinog family raid-slay in Ozamiz City. And for the capture of Abu Sayyaf members behind a foiled terror attack in Bohol, the President promised P1 million each. So what did Acierto do to deserve this much concentration of resources and firepower on the part of Malacañang and law-enforcement authorities? It’s less likely his alleged participation in the drug smuggling case,A new perspective on John Snow's communicable disease theory. When John Snow undertook the studies of the cholera epidemic of 1854 in London, he was testing his theory of communicable disease, which had been enunciated in an oration delivered at the 80th anniversary of the Medical Society of London. Snow had been elected orator of the year for 1853 and, according to his biographer, had spent the better part of a year in preparation. The oration was titled, "On Continuous Molecular Changes, More Particularly in Their Relation to Epidemic Diseases." Although the text of this oration is readily available in the 1936 Commonwealth Fund facsimile reprint of Snow's more famous cholera studies, few modern epidemiologists are familiar with the work. In it, Snow lays out a theory which includes

President Donald Trump's promise of pro-growth policies of tax reform and stimulus, which saw widespread optimism in global markets since November, will likely turn out to be a disappointment, the former deputy managing director of IMF told CNBC. Zhu Min, who is currently President at the National Institute of Financial Research, spoke to CNBC at the sidelines of the Boao Forum in the Hainan Province, China. He pointed out Trump's planned policies including the implementation of a border tax, the repeal and replacement of parts of the Affordable Care Act, infrastructure investments and tax reforms could face a long list of difficulties. "If you're looking for what we heard just two months ago, and what we thought today right, you will see number one, (for) the border tax, the probability (ofHot Topics: State: Keep us informed on GMP improvements Posted: 12/26/2012 01:00:00 AM EST Wednesday December 26, 2012 KEITH WHITCOMB JR. Staff Writer READSBORO -- Green Mountain Power plans to have the required improvements to the former Readsboro Electric Light Department completed by the second quarter of 2013, but the Public Service Board, which approved the sale of the smaller utility last year, wishes the docket for the sale to be kept open and to be notified if the delayed system improvements will not be finished by June 30. The light department was sold by the town to Central Vermont Public Service in 2011 with the deal being approved by the Public Service Board in July. CVPS has since merged with Green Mountain Power and the combined entities own all of what had been the Readsboro

utility. The two larger utilities had, in fact, issued competing bids for the Readsboro company, as it would have melded into either service territory. On Dec. 18, the Public Service Board, which oversees regulations for power generating facilities in the state, issued an order on status reports it has been receiving from CVPS, now GMP. According to the board, on Dec. 30 2011 it received a report from CVPS saying it was on track to complete the necessary improvements it agreed to do by Sept. 2012. In Nov. 7, 2012 GMP filed a report saying most of the improvements are done, but not all, and it expects to have everything complete by the end of June 2013. GMP also requested the docket for the sale be closed, as it448 F.3d 403 UNITED STATES ex rel. Michael G. New, Appellantv.Donald H. RUMSFELD, Secretary of Defense, and Francis J.

as part of the United Nations Preventive Deployment Force, New voiced concerns about the lawfulness of the Army's participation in the mission. In particular, he was troubled that wearing U.N. insignia as part of his uniform would manifest an involuntary or fictional shift in his allegiance from the government of the United States to the United Nations. Although his superiors discussed these concerns with him, they failed to alleviate them. 4 Eventually New's battalion commander issued — and his company commander repeated — an order to begin wearing a special U.N. mission uniform at a battalion formation on October 10, 1995. The uniform consisted of the ordinary United States Army battle dress uniform plus a blue U.N. patch sewn on one shoulder and a blue U.N. cap.

Scientists estimate the 2012 Gulf of Mexico dead zone spans an area of 2,889 square miles (7,482 square kilometers), or just larger than the state of Delaware. "The smaller area was expected because of drought conditions and the fact that nutrient output into the Gulf this spring approached near the 80-year record low," Nancy Rabalais, executive director of the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium (LUMCON), said in a statement. Rabalais led the survey cruise that measured the dead zone. In fact, the last time the dead zone was this small was in 2000 when it measured

1,696 square miles, or 4,393 square km. The number is also well below the 2011 dead zone, which reached 6,770 square miles (17,534 square km) as a result of floods that carried loads of nutrients into the water. Scientists recorded the smallest dead zone, at 15 square miles (39 square km), in 1988, while the largest zone occurred in 2002 and covered an 8,400-square-mile (21,756-square-km) swath. Estimates for this dead zone, which forms each summer off the coasts of Louisiana and Texas, are important because the loss of oxygen can be dire for the animals that live there; the dead zone also threatens commercial and recreational fishing in the Gulf. The lack of oxygen results from nutrients, particularly nitrogen, that run off the land, from agricultural and other human activities, down the Mississippi River and into the Gulf of Mexico. These nutrientsEP was released by Aware in September 1998. On January 26, 1999, Columbia Records/Aware Records released Dovetail Joint's major label debut, 001. The album, produced by Fields and mixed by Jack Joseph Puig, had sold 16,000 copies by May. Nationally, "Level on the Inside" started experiencing the same success it continued to enjoy in Chicago. The song reached #38 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart in early 1999, and #17 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart, where it stayed for 13 weeks. Columbia agreed to produce a video for "Level on the Inside", directed by Phil Harder. Following the video shoot, the band returned to the road for several months of touring in support of the album and single. Having a radio single earned the band opening slots on U.S.
