in the Twin Cities, but you can't beat the atmosphere and general weirdness of the original. Pay close attention to the hand-drawn signs- created by store employees, they're not to be missed! Reason #8:Grand Avenue & Grand Old DaysFirst-rate shopping and food, character, and charm are all to be found in this beautiful, historic neighborhood of St. Paul. And once a year they pull out the stops at their annual Grand Old Day Celebration, where folks from all over the state gather, drink, listent to music, and shop in St. Paul's first rite of summer. Reason #9:The St. Paul Winter CarnivalWhile much of the rest of Minnesota goes into hibernation for the winter, St. Paul folks have a party! A treasure hunt, ice palaces, cultural celebrations, ice sculptures, and agiant snow slide! Past carnivals even included rides on sleighs pulled by bears and moose, and a toboggan slide where riders would clock in at around 80 miles per hour. Reason #10: The Ordway Center for the Performing ArtsHost to the Minnesota Opera, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra, the Shubert Club and presenter of major Broadway shows, this world-class opera house in the center of downtown St. Paul is a hotspot for arts and culture. Reason #11:Swede HollowThis quiet little ravine on the east side practically drips in history. Massive oaks, the foundations of old chimneys, and an old train trestle are some of the only things left where many of Minnesota's very first settlers set up camp (literally) when they first arrived in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. Reason #12:

interest of sharing my experiences, here are a few lowlights: While working at a retail store on M Street in Georgetown, a man came in to try on shoes. It was summer and I was wearing flip flops. I was alone in the store. As I was standing in front of him, he proceeded to compliment me on my feet and then grabbed them without my consent. I was scared for my safety, so I backed away and continued to be polite to him until he voluntarily left the store. While riding the Metro to an internship, a man standing in front of me was staring at me very intensely and wriggling around. I didn’t understand what was happening until I saw ejaculate falling out of his shorts. Yes, hegains. As for Trump's personal gain, his administration has said the president sold all of his stock holdings in June 2016, though it remains somewhat unclear since Trump never released his tax returns. Trump also made mention of the strong labor market in his speech. "We have, I think, 16 years — in 16 years it's the lowest unemployment rate," Trump said. The official unemployment rate did drop to 4.3% in May's jobs report, the lowest since May 2001. But to be fair, it was already at 4.6% when Trump got elected, and the pace of job gains over the past three months slightly slowed. The next reading on the labor market will come when the June jobs report is released Friday.

Big Brother, small town The city council of Langford, Vancouver Island throws their weight aroundand shuts down a budding hemp store by banning all forms of cannabis hempwithin city limits BIG BROTHERsmall town By Nicole Nicholson Fear and Ignorance Strike Again Langford is a small city on Vancouver Island whose city council is very opposed to all forms of cannabis. On June 17 the Langford City Council passed Bylaw 148, which bans cannabis sativa and any “related items,” and prohibits the opening of any hemp store within city limits.The Vancouver Island community created the bylaw when Pattie Desisle, of the Island Hemp Community in Duncan, attempted to open a store on Happy Valley Road in Langford. She acquired a space next to a coffee shop and across the street from an arcade, andin the window she hung a sign stating “Coming soon: Happy Valley Hemp.” This sign, meant to generate interest for her prospective business, instead alerted fearful and ignorant citizens to the opening of a “drug paraphernalia” store. Although Patti had actually planned to focus the store on industrial hemp products, the fearful objectors never asked her what she was going to sell. The day she went to apply for her business license was the day the bylaw was originally proposed. The original form of the bylaw prohibited hemp products from being sold within three kilometers of a school. When Pattie revealed that she had intentions of relocating her business to comply with the bylaw, it was amended to encompass the entire municipality. The Council Meeting On June 17 the bylaw was adopted.

Of course, it met with opposition, but it was too late, the public hearings had already been held. When Norm Chollette took up the podium during public participation, council informed him that they would not hear any speeches dealing with hemp or the bylaw, and then promptly adjourned for a recess. Chollette gave an impassioned speech to the public that was present, then left on his own steam. Six police cruisers showed up to deal with the offending protester but they were too late. The Council meeting continued until they came to the last item on the agenda, Bylaw 148. They voted to adopt the bylaw and adjourned the meeting. Ted Smith (ofnationwide injunction against a federal government action. According to the Justice Department, the Obama administration faced 20 nationwide injunctions over eight years. The Trump administration has already faced nearly 40. History of Nationwide Injunctions Major Recent nationwide injunctions The Supreme Court recently stayed two major nationwide injunctions. First, on July 26 the Supreme Court stayed an injunction from a California federal district court that would have prevented the Trump administration from repurposing appropriated funds to build a border wall. Second, on September 11 the Supreme Court stayed a nationwide injunction against the Trump administration’s new rule requiring asylum seekers who cross the U.S.-Mexico border to apply for asylum in Mexico or another third country before applying in the United States. These decisions did not resolve the underlying lawsuits, but did allow

coincidence, these critics assert, that nationwide injunctions against the Bush administration came largely from California, those against the Obama administration came from Texas, and those against the Trump administration largely from courts in California, Hawaii, and Washington. From a constitutional perspective, opponents of nationwide injunctions argue the Judiciary Act of 1789 could not have granted the power to impose a nationwide injunction because the Constitution only granted our judiciary powers available to English courts of the era. Those courts did not have the power to grant injunctions against the king and only in limited circumstances issued injunctions applying to more than just the specific plaintiff in question. Other commentators argue that sometimes people in similar situations to the plaintiffs face irreparable harm without a nationwide injunction. They also point toher record of helping her political pals. She is obviously on the hot seat for her long record as a politician. Barbara Hoppe has a lot of explaining to do. She has to explain why she took sides against the college students she is supposed to represent. She has to explain why she aggressively helped her political donors squeeze a $100,000 payoff for their group. She has to explain why she made an unannounced, unnecessary City Council motion after a five and one-half hour Council meeting to punish the college students, when the usual administrative process was working. It happened, and I'm disappointed in Barbara Hoppe. She talks the talk about openness and transparency. But when it means helping her political donors, she doesn’t walk the walk. If I’m elected Ward

Butler Falls Butler Falls Latham, Kansas GPS:37.5464 x -96.695 After being tipped off of a waterfall at Butler State Fishing Lake, I took off one Friday afternoon to find it. In the spillway of the lake, there is a seasonal waterfall. It was barely a trickle when I visited the first time. I went again after heavier rains, and found an awesome waterfall that cascades even further down stream. There may be smaller falls even further on, so I will head back at some point and explore from the north of the spillway. Credit: Stuart Countryman tipped me off that there might be some falls in the spillway of the lake.The City of Lubbock has initiated a full Emergency Operations Center (EOC) activation. At about 2:15 AM, the City of Lubbock experienced city-wide power outages that has affected power throughout the city. There were unconfirmed reports of outages at 71st Street and Avenue P as well as the Holly Station. The source has been identified as a lightening arrestor failure out of the Wadsworth Plant at 34th Street and Guava Avenue. There are no reports of injuries from any explosions.

Restaurant representative plays down Justin Bieber headbutt report A representative for the Los Angeles restaurant where Justin Bieber is accused of headbutting another man last weekend has played down reports of the altercation. The "Sorry" hitmaker is reportedly under police investigation after reportedly taking issue with a guy filming the singer "play fighting" with his pal, former That's So Raven actor Kyle Massey, while attending a pre-Grammy Awards party at popular eatery Serafina. According to TMZ.com, Bieber allegedly lunged at the male after he refused to stop filming and delete the footage, prompting another person at the venue to call police. The pop superstar had left the premises by the time Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department officers arrived, and they are currently investigating the matter as a misdemeanor battery. Initial reports suggested thealleged victim, who has supposedly declined to press charges, was an employee at Serafina, but a spokesperson for the restaurant has denied any connection to the man or the person who reported the bust-up to the cops. The rep simply told TMZ, "We always have a pleasant experience with Mr. Bieber whenever he comes to Serafina." Justin has yet to comment on the incident. The 22-year-old has endured a series of legal issues over his wild antics in recent years, including an arrest for driving under the influence in Florida in January, 2014 - the same month he was accused of vandalizing his former neighbor's Calabasas, California home. He was previously also involved in various clashes with members of the paparazzi, leading to a number of lawsuits.

Police have foiled a suspected bomb plot inspired by Islamic State in the run up to Christmas, it emerged yesterday. More than a hundred officers swooped on a quiet cul-de-sac in Newcastle upon Tyne yesterday to arrest an alleged lone wolf plotter said to be under the spell of the terror group. Fearing that explosives may be present, more than 150 houses were evacuated as well as a school when elite counter-terrorism officers raided an address in the Arthur's Hill area of the city less than a mile from St James's Park football stadium and the Eldon Square shopping centre. Dozens of locals were taken to a community centre while searches were carried out at the suspect's property for any explosives or weapons. A 33-year-old man was arrested at the property onsuspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. More than a hundred officers swooped on a quiet cul-de-sac in Newcastle upon Tyne yesterday to arrest an alleged lone wolf plotter said to be under the spell of the terror group It is understood residents were evacuated from their homes in what the police have described as part of an 'intelligence led and pre-planned' investigation But hours after his arrest the cordon was taken down after no explosives were found. Last night the suspect was last night being questioned at a police station on West Yorkshire. It is understood police decided to move in amid fears that a lone wolf bomb attack was being plotted in the run up to Christmas. Specialist forensic officers were last night continuing to

carry out a fingertip search of the property. A police spokesman said the operation had been the result of a pre-planned, intelligence led investigation and warned locals that armed officers were likely to remain at the scene for some time. Locals expressed their shock at seeing police officers in military style uniforms descending on the normally quiet street shortly after 10am. Neighbours described the man who was living at the address as an Asian man in his 30s, but said they knew little about him. Among those whose homes were evacuated in the residential area was the father of troubled TV presenter Ant McPartlin. One of the cordoned off roads was once home to teenage bomb plotter Liam Lyburd who was jailed for life in 2015 for an unrelated plot to carry outa massacre at Newcastle College. Chief Superintendent Neil Hutchinson said: 'Officers from Counter Terrorism Policing North East, supported by Northumbria Police have this morning (TUES) arrested a man in the Arthur's Hill area of Newcastle on suspicion of terrorism offences. 'The 33-year-old has been taken to a police station in West Yorkshire for questioning. 'The arrest was intelligence led and pre-planned as part of an ongoing investigation by Counter Terrorism Policing North East. 'As part of the operation a number of residents were evacuated from properties as a precautionary measure. 'Officers also attended a nearby school to offer reassurance and ensure pupils were away from a nearby property which was being searched as part of the operation. 'When we were satisfied there was no threat posed at this address, residents were allowed to go

It’s Saturday in America in 2017—and for thousands of people, that means taking to the streets to air grievances about the administration in the White House. Today, over 135 cities across the United States will play host to March for Truth demonstrations. The marches directly address the largest, smokiest scandal facing America today: The ties between Russia and President Donald Trump‘s campaign and associates. There are five ongoing investigations at the federal level probing Russia’s attempts to influence the 2016 presidential election, the Trump campaign’s ties to Moscow, and—in the case of the single criminal investigation—whether the president attempted to interfere with the FBI‘s investigation into Trump associates. The investigations include four probes in Congress—the House Intelligence and Oversight committees, and the Senate Intelligence and Judiciary committees—as well as thecriminal investigation overseen by recently appointed Special Prosecutor Robert Muller. According to the organizers of the March for Truth, which includes more than 17 national progressive organizations, the time for answers is long overdue. “Every day we learn more about the role Russian state-led hacking and information warfare played in the 2016 election, and there are crucial unanswered questions about the relationship between the Russian state and Donald Trump, his associates and his campaign,” the organizers write on the March for Truth website. “The legitimacy of the United States government hinges on the answers to these questions. If the President was elected even in part due to collusion with a foreign effort to interfere in our democratic process, then the will of the people has been subverted.” The March for Truth

drugs has been traced back to countries in the Middle East and elsewhere, he said. He declined to link the synthetic drugs to anti-American extremists in the Middle East but said they had relied on sales of illicit drugs as a source of funds in the past. Designer synthetic drugs are often marketed as herbal incense, bath salts, jewelry cleaner or plant food. They are made up of plant material that has been infused with psychoactive compounds that mimic THC, the active ingredient of marijuana, the DEA said. Abuse of the drugs can lead to seizures, vomiting, loss of consciousness and overdose deaths, the DEA said in a statement. The number of emergency room visits associated with the drugs reached 28,531 in 2011, more than twice the number the year before,General Motors' all-electric Chevrolet Bolt compact car will be able to go 238 miles on a single charge, the automaker announced Tuesday. That's enough to drive from New York City to Washington DC or nearly enough to make a round trip between Los Angeles and San Diego. Perhaps more importantly to GM, it beats the 215 miles Tesla has promised for its upcoming Model 3, a similarly-priced electric car that's expected to go on sale next year. "Chevrolet showed the world the production version Bolt EV earlier this year and in a few short months we've moved from that vision to a reality," said GM North America President Alan Batey. Sales of the Chevrolet Bolt are scheduled to begin before the end of this year. While the Bolt's name is very similar to

A memo has been turned over to special counsel Robert Mueller that details a claim Donald Trump asked for the Russia investigation to be officially cited in the firing of FBI director James Comey last year. Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe drafted a memo on the circumstances leading up to the dismissal of Comey, concerning a conversation McCabe had with deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein about preparations for the dismissal, the New York Times first reported. Rosenstein played an important role in that episode, having written a memo that, when it was released, faulted Comey for his handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. The White House then held that up as a justification for Trump’s decision to fire Comey. According to McCabe’s memo, Rosenstein indicated to him that hewas initially asked to reference the Russia investigation in his own memo on Comey. But the final version didn’t include discussion of Russia and focused instead on the Clinton email case. Rosenstein appointed Mueller as special counsel last May, one week after Comey was fired. He has said he would recuse himself if necessary if his actions became relevant to Mueller’s investigation. McCabe became FBI acting director following Comey’s firing last May. He was then dismissed as deputy director in March 2018, just days before his scheduled retirement, amid an inspector general finding that he had misled internal investigators about his role in an October 2016 disclosure to The Wall Street Journal. Meanwhile, Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor now on Trump’s legal team, told reporters on Wednesday that

he wants the Mueller investigation, which is looking into alleged ties between the Trump election campaign and Russia and any possible obstruction of justice by the president and others, to be wrapped up no later than September. He repeated his and Trump’s concerns that if it continues longer it will interfere with the November midterm elections. Appearing on Fox News later, Giuliani slammed the Mueller investigation as a “lynching mob”. He has also hinted that Trump might fire attorney general Jeff Sessions, whom the president attacked again on Wednesday, after Mueller wraps up.daughter Vivienne Angelina's Maleficent co-star Elle Fanning recently raved about her experience on set with the star, admitting that Brad's fiancée really is one of a kind. "Whenever she walks into a room, you just stare at her," Elle told V Magazine. "And she was walking around on set in the whole costume with both her twins, one on each hip.

Cannabis legalization in the U.S. has hit a couple of snags in recent weeks as New Jersey's full legalization efforts collapsed, but Canopy Growth (CGC) - Get Report CEO Bruce Linton is not concerned about the minutia of American political leanings on marijuana, he believes his company can reach all of its goals through just the Canadian and international markets. Linton sat down with TheStreet at the CWCB Expo in New York to discuss his company's trajectory and the future of cannabis, not only in the U.S., but globally. "Canada is sort of a maturing market. The reason we're not rushing to be highly profitable in the next 12 to 24 months is that we believe this business can be replicated globally and we can be a leader and thatit's enlightening in a fascinating and innovative way. The shooter is Leonard Shelby, who is a former insurance investigator from San Francisco, someone with a talent for telling whether people are lying by looking at their eyes as he talks with them. He's been hunting a man called John G who raped and murdered his wife, and as far as he's concerned he's finally found him, because he's the man he kills at the beginning of our film to end his quest. What we need to find out is how he manages to track him down given that he has a serious handicap. When he walked into his bathroom to catch his wife's killer in the act and shoot him dead, an unseen accomplice threw him into a mirror

and triggered a condition called anterograde memory loss, possibly the most serious way to impact anyone's ability to investigate anything. Anterograde memory loss is a form of amnesia that prevents the formation of new memories, but doesn't break anything else in the brain. Therefore Shelby can remember his life before what is consistently referred to as 'the incident', right up to seeing his wife in the bathroom, but nothing further from then on except for the previous few minutes. But hey, he gets there in the end, right? After all, we see it at the beginning of the film. We see Shelby get his revenge by killing John G. Well it's not quite that simple. It's more than a little strange watching an investigation in reverse, scene by scene,gun and he forgets during the chase who's doing the chasing. So he defines a system, beginning with a tattoo on his left hand that reads 'Remember Sammy Jankis'. Because he knew Jankis before the incident his memory of him isn't lost and he knows precisely what that tattoo is supposed to trigger: the recollection system. Sammy was a man he investigated who had the same condition and wrote things down on notes. As Shelby is dealing with more serious things, he goes a step beyond mere notes to keep polaroids in his pocket that identify people and places and key information like who to trust and what people's motivations are. His own driving purpose he has tattooed onto his chest in mirror writing and whenever he is sure

and constantly in flux, depending on fashion and context and timeframe and even the personal taste of whoever is going through the experience. It's the rare filmmaker who can make something that stands apart as a work of art but still involves and entertains us. Stanley Kubrick is the most obvious name to conjure up and Christopher Nolan has every possibility of succeeding such an important name. Each film he's made thus far has tried to do something new, even though he's committed supposedly unpardonable cinematic sins like filming a remake or making a superhero movie. Insomnia is a rare American remake of a foreign film that wasn't universally panned on release and Nolan reinvented the superhero genre with Batman Begins, then apparently mastered it with its sequel, TheDark Knight, possibly the most popular and acclaimed such film ever made. I'm more of a fan of Following and The Prestige, very different films with very different budgets that both impressed me no end, and Memento, only the second of six features thus far to carry his name, seems to be holding its own. It sprung out of a cross country road trip, of all things, which prompted both a short story by Nolan's younger brother Jonathan and this screen adaptation of it, though the two apparently have a number of strong differences. Guy Pearce plays the lead, which helps the story because he's far less recognisable than the initial choice of Brad Pitt. He's come a long way since Neighbours, an Aussie soap opera, finding himself in

films from what seems like every genre: film noir (LA Confidential), horror (Ravenous), romantic comedy (Dating the Enemy), western (The Proposition), science fiction (The Time Machine), swashbuckler (The Count of Monte Cristo), drama (Winged Creatures), crime (Animal Kingdom), even the uncategorisable (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert). He currently has a couple of major titles to his name, keeping him at the forefront: Kathryn Bigelow's award winning The Hurt Locker and the adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road. Pearce carries much of this film, the condition his character has surely making it a difficult part to play, regardless what order they shot the scenes. However he has able support from a couple of actors from The Matrix: Joe Pantoliano as Teddy, the man who dies at thebeginning of the film but has quite a bit of screen time after that, and Carrie-Anne Moss as a bartender called Natalie. Both of these characters, along with Shelby himself, help to shape the directions he takes, and while it gradually become clear which are due to who and why, even after the impactful ending I was still a little unsure as to how much each of them knew at any point in time, or whether the beginning of the film constitutes justice or a miscarriage of it. Perhaps it's both. Perhaps we'd really need the scene that happens before the film begins to truly reach that decision. I'm a transplant from the rain and beauty of northern England to the sun and desolation of Phoenix, AZ. I'm also a

A police officer has been formally charged with murder over the shooting death of an unarmed, naked black man with mental health problems. A prosecutor in DeKalb County, Georgia, said that officer Robert Olsen was charged with a total of six crimes over the death of 27-year-old Anthony Hill.

A senior White House official also backed up Hannity’s more cautious tone by warning against any dramatic action. In an interview, the official called Rosenstein a “straight shooter” and said his denial of the facts outlined by the New York Times was believable. Meanwhile, there was a growing conviction inside the West Wing that the story was planted by leakers on former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s team, designed to bait Trump into firing Rosenstein ahead of the midterm elections and then suffer the political consequences. (A spokesman for McCabe has strongly denied leaking any of his memos to the press.)

in his maiden season in English football, which saw him net 22 goals for Swansea. He was thought to have been the bargain of the century, costing the Swans just £2 million – but he soon wanted to leave the Liberty Stadium for bigger things, which is when his career hit a standstill. An unconvincing spell in the Serie A on loan at Napoli, coupled with a refusal to play for Swansea, means Garry Monk has shown him the exit door. Celtic are looking to strengthen ahead of their potential Champions League campaign alongside their title defence and the 29-year-old striker could do a job in Glasgow if a deal can be agreed.Steve Hansen has insisted that the back-to-back world champions New Zealand are the underdogs for the rematch with Ireland in Dublin on Saturday. Hansen boasts a 92% win record in his four years as the All Blacks head coach, but he believes that Ireland’s historic win in Chicago alters the complexion of the Aviva Stadium game on Saturday. Ireland claimed their first win against New Zealand at Soldier Field on 5 November, their 40-29 victory breaking a 111-year duck. New Zealand will field the fit-again lock duo Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock for the Dublin Test on Saturday, with Israel Dagg selected on the wing to counter Ireland’s exacting aerial kicking threat. “As expected, there is huge excitement and anticipation within our squad ahead of this weekend’s Test against the Irish,” Hansen

Photo : Drew Angerer ( Getty Images ) President Donald Trump and Fox News host Jeanine Pirro are a thing. Maybe not a thing the way that Trump and Stormy Daniels were a thing, but the president clearly loves the evil news anchor with the Archie Bunker disposition and rugged racist scowl. The president is always tweeting about his boo, and now that Pirro is in a fight with her news station, the president used his racist dog whistle (his Twitter account) to send out the alarm. The object of Trump’s orange gaze was absent from the network Saturday night after making comments about U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) during her snooze-fest of a shit show,

"This is not you, Basil, this is not you." Those were the last words of 66-year-old Carol Culleton before she was strangled with a television cable at her cottage near Combermere, Ont., according to her accused murderer, Basil Borutski. His chilling interview with Ontario Provincial Police Det. Sgt. Caley O'Neill — recorded the day after the killings of Culleton, Anastasia Kuzyk, 36, and Nathalie Warmderdam, 48, on Sept. 22, 2015, at three separate locations in and around Wilno, Ont. — was played for the jury in an otherwise silent Ontario courtroom in Ottawa Friday. Court has heard that Borutski knew all three victims. He had been in previous relationships with Warmerdam and Kuzyk, and was convicted of offences against Warmerdam and Kuzyk in 2012 and 2014 respectively. Near the end of thehours-long interview the day after the killings, Borutski tells police he hasn't slept in days and that he's been trying to get help on a crisis line and through a probation officer. He says that he felt like his "head was going to blow off" and that "everything was just snapping in my head," but that he "got nothing." Accused felt God was on his side He tells O'Neill that the night before the killings, he spoke to an older woman at his building about the Bible and about the difference between killing and murder. "Murdering is killing something innocent," he says in the interview. If the Bible said thou shalt not kill, people wouldn't be allowed to kill animals for food or for sport, he says. Later, he talks about what

end there. 'The gun went off, because it just — lies' After a break, Borutski talks about seeing himself with a gun days before because of his fear of police. He says he had earlier found a shotgun and some rusty old shells, and that he'd hidden them in the bush. Then he discusses the killings of Kuzyk and Warmerdam. He says he took Culleton's car, drove it to Kuzyk's house in Wilno and walked up to the door. "Anastasia, she just walked out, and I asked Anastasia, I said, 'Why did you lie in court?' And she said, 'I didn't,' and then the gun went off, because it just — lies," Borutski says. "What part of her body," O'Neill asks, referring to the 12-gauge shotgun blast that killed her. "I have no idea,she ducked down. There was an island. I don't know," Borutski responds. "There was a little island and she was standing and she just went down, and the gun went off, after she went down. She went in and I walked in right behind her, it's as if it was supposed to be, and I turned around and I walked right back behind her. "There was another girl there, she had a toothbrush in her mouth and she said, 'Who are you, I will kill you,' and that's all." Afterward he asked God what to do, he says, and that he started to drive. Next, Borutski made his way to Warmderdam's house near Eganville, Ont., court has heard. 'I followed her — boom. That was it' When it came time to talk about

her killing, Borutski offered little detail. "What happened? I just drove in, walked in the door, she was sitting there, she went around the corner, I followed her — boom. That was it. And I walked out. It was funny, like I wasn't even pulling the trigger on the gun, the gun was just going off — boop." O'Neill asks if there was anyone else there. "I don't think so. I didn't see anybody," Borutski says. Victims used him, lied in court, Borutski alleges O'Neill is the prosecution's first witness, and the first half of his videotaped interview with Borutski was played in court Thursday. On it, the jury heard Borutski tell O'Neill he'd been wrongfully accused by Warmerdam and Kuzyk, who he claims lied in court and abused the system to secure convictionsagainst him. He also said all three victims used him. He also said he doesn't trust police because they prosecuted him maliciously in the past, and he repeatedly asked O'Neill to reinvestigate the charges laid against him, as well as all his previous interactions with police, to understand what eventually happened. During opening statements Wednesday, Crown attorney Jeffery Richardson alleged Borutski's interview with police also included confessions to all three killings. Borutski remains silent in court Borutski's trial in Ontario Superior Court before Justice Robert Maranger started earlier this week with jury selection and is scheduled to run for 17 weeks. Borutski has not hired a lawyer and is therefore representing himself at the trial, but he has refused to enter a plea or speak at all, forcing the court to enter a

plea of not guilty on his behalf. Maranger has repeatedly told Borutski and the court that his silence is being interpreted as acquiescence to the proceedings. He sat motionless and expressionless in the prisoner's box Friday, sometimes watching the screen, other times staring at the ceiling or down at the floor. An amicus curiae, also known as a friend of the court, has been appointed to ensure Borutski gets a fair trial.(CNN) An explosion at a chemical factory in the South Korean port city of Ulsan has killed four people, an official at the city's fire department has told CNN. Two people remain missing following the incident. Fire department officials initially heard the blast at the Hanwha Chemical plant and were trying to determine its location when the emergency call came in. Initial indications suggest the explosion, which occurred at around 9 a.m. local time Friday (8 p.m. Eastern, Thursday), was caused while workers were welding the interior of a waste water storage facility. The blast tore out the upper structure of the storage facility, which subsequently collapsed. Almost 30 emergency vehicles were dispatched to the scene, along with around 220 emergency workers, government officials police and military personnel. Read More

Three police officers proceeded to Appellee's residence and were met at the door by Appellee. After identifying himself to the officers, Appellee was asked to step aside, and a police sergeant proceeded to speak with Mrs. Fye, the babysitter. At the time of the incident, Appellee's mother and step-father were out of the state. Mrs. Fye was retained to care for Appellee and his younger brothers. The police informed Mrs. Fye that Appellee might have been involved in the incident at the high school. Mrs. Fye was then asked whether Appellee owned a skeleton mask and a blue joggingsuit. When she replied that Appellee's step-father had a skeleton mask, the police asked her to look in Appellee's room for the mask and the blue jogging suit. These items were eventually found after a search under Appellee's bed and of his dresser drawers. Mrs. Fye had a note from Appellee's mother authorizing Mrs. Fye and her husband to "handle all medical care and legal matters" for the children. Appellee's room, however, was never entered by Mrs. Fye, or even by Appellee's family without Appellee's consent. Appellee's mother specifically instructed Mrs. Fye that Appellee's room was to be left alone, that she did not have to clean it, and that laundry was to be left outside the door in the absence of Appellee.

Plaintiff's allege that in late 1999 Walsh voiced concerns over various tax positions that he thought were illegal to his supervisor Laura Liang ("Liang"), who at the time was vice president of international tax, and reported directly to defendant Chiasson, Levi's senior vice president and CFO during the Class Period.

KPMG audited Levi's 2003 financial statements. As a result of KPMG's audits, Levi was required to restate its financial statements. In October 2003 and March 2004 Levi announced that it would restate its financial statements for 2001, 2002, and the first two quarters of 2003 in several respects. Two of the restatements related to tax matters: . a $24 million increase in tax expense and tax liability in 2001 resulting from a tax deduction taken twice in error for losses related to closures of various plants; and . a $19 million increase in tax expense in 2001 and 2002 to properly provide forthe 2002 fiscal year to $349 million at the end of the 2003 fiscal year. CAC *991 ¶¶ 42, 53, 63. Plaintiffs appear to argue that Levi recorded the increase in the valuation allowance in 2003 even though it should have been recorded, at least in part, in earlier years due to misstatements in those prior years. However, plaintiffs' allegations, viewed in light of the complaint and the additional documents for which the court has taken judicial notice, do not support such a contention. First, the 2003 financial statements, including the need to increase the valuation allowance in 2003, was a product of an audit by KPMG in which KPMG issued an unqualified opinion. Under GAAP, changes in valuation allowances are to be recorded in the period in which

from investors in public offerings. However, as discussed above, Levi raised capital in private offerings exempt under Rule 144A. The subsequent registrations of bonds were in connection with Exxon Capital exchange offers to enable the holders of unregistered Levi bonds to exchange their bonds for freely tradeable registered bonds with the exact same terms. In other words, Levi did not receive any additional capital in connection with the registration of bonds in the April 2001 Offering and the June 2003 Offering. Plaintiffs do not appear to allege that there were any false or misleading statements in the Rule 144A offering documents.

Driver of bus that hit Mass. house was new to job AUBURN, Mass. (AP) — The man driving a regional transit bus that crashed into a house in central Massachusetts earlier this week was on his first day of service. The Telegram & Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/1227YGh) that the driver of the bus was 27-year-old Francis Artey of Worcester (WUS'-tur). Worcester Regional Transit Authority official John Carney says Artey went through a rigorous, eight-week training program before "driving in service" for the first time Monday. Carney says Artey was an experienced school bus driver with a stellar driving record. Police say it appears the brakes weren't applied before the bus smashed into the house in Auburn. They say Artey may have had a medical problem, or there may have been a mechanical problemGaucher's disease: the best laid schemes of mice and men. The creation of animal models of Gaucher's disease, the inherited deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase, has led to new clinical insights and to a new appreciation of the complexity of the glucocerebrosidase gene locus. Murine embryonic stem cells with targeted modifications in the glucocerebrosidase gene were used to generate mouse models of Gaucher's disease, the first having a null glucocerebrosidase allele. The resulting knockout mice have no glucocerebrosidase activity and die within 12 hours of birth. Ultrastructural studies of liver, spleen, brain and bone marrow demonstrate the characteristic storage material seen in Gaucher patients. In the nervous system, storage of lipid increased in a rostral-caudal distribution. Analysis of skin from the knockout mice revealed histological, ultrastructural and biochemical abnormalities.

As we strolled along the main shopping street in Norcia, Corso Sertorio, the effects of the devastating Oct. 30 earthquake, the strongest to hit Italy since 1980, were not immediately apparent. Most of the shops, though shut, seemed intact. Christmas lights were strung overhead. The scenery changed dramatically when our guide, Benedict Nivakoff, 37, a Benedictine monk from Connecticut who is known in the local monastic community as Fr. Prior, led us to Piazza San Benedetto, the main square. There, its dominant feature, the 14th Century Basilica of St. Benedict, the spiritual home of the Benedictines, lay in ruins. The bell tower had collapsed onto the roof, reducing the basilica to rubble. Only the basilica's façade was standing. "When we got there right after the quake, the façade was wobblingand there was a moment when our breath was taken away," Fr. Prior said. "A basilica that had been around for many centuries was gone in six seconds." Story continues below advertisement The basilica, built over the legendary birthplace of the saint, who was born in 480, was not the only Benedictine treasure lost in the central Italy earthquake. So was the monks' business, the modern brewery in the basement of the Benedictine monastery adjacent to the wrecked church. While the brewery was left more or less intact, it can't be used because the structure around it is unstable. Two of the six stainless-steel fermenting vats are still full of beer – 5,000 litres in total. About 1,000 bottles of the beer lay in cases. The pre-earthquake beer is precious. While

the monks plan to build a second brewery at their makeshift monastery on the hills overlooking Norcia, production may not resume for many months. That means the local bars and restaurants that cherish the beer, and the American beer stores that stock it, will be running short of supplies soon. The inside of a store on the high street of Norcia, Italy devastated by earthquakes in August and October. Chris Warde-Jones The beer is called Birra Nursia – Nursia is the Latin name for Norcia – and it's more than just another product in a town famous for its culinary delights, which include wild boar sausage and hams, black truffles, fine pecorino cheeses and Sangiovese and Trebbiano wines. The relaunch of the brewery, along with the monks' effort to bringtheir basilica back to life, have given Norcia hope that it will not forever remain a ghost town – the fate, no doubt, of many nearby towns and villages levelled in the series of earthquakes since August. "The brewery for the townspeople is a sign of life," Fr. Prior said. Norcia was not supposed to be an earthquake victim. The town was hit by devastating, fatal earthquakes in 1859, 1978 and 1997 – "dates written in flesh," as they are known – and was repaired each time to make the buildings more resistant to tremors. The horrendous Aug. 24 earthquake that killed about 300 people in and around Amatrice, about an hour's drive southeast of Norcia, inflicted little damage on Norcia. As aftershocks from the August earthquake proved relentless, the locals

lost their faith in the town's resilience. Most moved out, including the monks. The exodus probably spared Norcia from mass funerals. The town was virtually empty when the Oct. 30 earthquake hit in the early morning. There were no fatalities, though about 20 people were injured. Moments after the earthquake struck, the Benedictine monks commandeered a car and sped down to Norcia. Their first thought was not the fate of their brewery or the basilica, but that of the cloistered Franciscan nuns, known as the Poor Clares, who lived near the basilica. "Firefighters helped us break down their door and we found the nuns huddled around the altar," Fr. Prior said. "We could have all died there." Story continues below advertisement Benedictine monks in blue habits and local workers building foundationsfor a new church and residence near the church of St. Benedict. Chris Warde-Jones When they inspected their brewery, housed in the remnants of a 13th Century barn, they found it in remarkably good shape. It was one of the few businesses in Norcia that was not destroyed. The monks' goal is to bottle the 5,000 litres of beer remaining in the two vats and get their new brewery going so that the sales can fund the reconstruction of the basilica and their old monastery. The original brewery, and the monks' tourist shop associated with it, will be brought back to life at some point. But that could take years. The American Benedictine monks arrived in Norcia in 2000. Their idea was to reopen the monastery that was abandoned in

1810, when Napoleon clamped down on monastic orders. In time, the number of Benedictines rose to 20, all American save for one Canadian. The Benedictine monastic order insists on a simple, spiritual life of discipline, prayer and chanting, but a life that is also industrious. The Rule of St. Benedict, a book of precepts that dictates the orders and principles of monastic life, does not contemplate a holy existence for lay-a-bouts. Chapter 48 states "for then are they monks in truth, if they live by the work of their hands." But what work? One of the monks had some experience in brewing and was sent to Belgium to learn the art of Trappist beer making. Donations rolled in and the brewery was built in 2012. Almost all the monks are involvedin some way. Texan monk Fr. Martin Bernhard is the monks' cellarer – he is in charge of food and clothes provisioning – and manages the brewery. After a slow start, beer production of two varieties of the barley malt-based Nursia beer – the light Bionda and the dark Extra – ramped up to 12,000 bottles a month. Mario Jacozzilli, owner of a butcher shop in Norcia. Chris Warde-Jones Fr. Bernhard found distributors in Italy and the United States, but was unable to crack the LCBO, in Ontario. "The brewery was really helping us rely less on donations," he said. "Before the earthquake hit, it was really starting to take off."

The Daily Caller is promoting a flawed report that attributes the gender pay gap to women's preference for less lucrative jobs. In reality, women earn significantly less than men in the same occupation and the claim that personal choice is responsible for the gender wage gap has been thoroughly debunked. In a May 31 article, The Daily Caller hyped salary tracking website PayScale's new report that women earn 81 cents on the dollar compared to men simply due to personal choice: Salary tracking website PayScale released a report Thursday pushing back on the idea of a gender pay gap. The report found that although women earn an average 81 cents on the dollar to when compared to men, it's because women choose lower paying jobs. "Unequal pay for equal work? Not really,"show that women's median earnings are lower than men's in most occupations, even those dominated by women. According to an April 2012 fact sheet from the Institute for Women's Policy Research, "Women's median earnings are lower than men's in nearly all occupations, whether they work in occupations predominantly done by women, occupations predominantly done by men, or occupations with a more even mix of men and women." Even a 2009 report published by the Bush Labor Department found "the adjusted gender wage gap ... is between 4.8 and 7.1 percent" when controlling for variables including occupation, career interruption, and industry sector. The gender pay gap is particularly important in light of Pew Research's May 29 study, which found that mothers are the primary or sole breadwinner in 40 percent of

all American households with children. In addition to promoting the wellbeing of American families dependent on a mother's income, closing the gender wage gap will grow the economy. According to economist Heidi Hartmann, president of the Institute for Women's Policy Research, closing the gender pay gap would grow the U.S. economy by at least three to four percentage points.Test Drive: 2018 Lexus LC500h Hybrid With the 2018 LC500 and LC500h Hybrid, Lexus reenters the luxury sport coupe world with its all-new flagship of the line, offering both performance and efficiency to high-end buyers.

Since then, the youth team has accomplished a lot and has grown to be filled with enthusiasm and confidence in the work they are doing. On top of supporting UPF events such as the European Leadership Conferences, the youth team has also started projects of their own. Currently, theyare running two projects: · The first project is a Youth Interfaith Council which aims to bring together young people of all faith backgrounds to foster peace and understanding. The council was initiated in November 2012 with much enthusiasm from a variety of religious people.

Mr Sukhbir Singh explained, ‘Sikhs all over the world celebrated Vaisakhi yesterday, and will continue to do so for another few days. Vaisakhi for the Sikhs represents the birth of the Khalsa, and has its beginnings in a remarkable event that took place over 300 years ago.

suffering: For throughout our history we have fought for survival time and time again, we have fought for the right to practice, to pray and to worship: To live our lives as the Torah commands us to. Throughout history when faced with inquisition and pogrom the Jews fought back with an unrelenting spiritual faithfulness. Throughout our exile and wanderings in the wilderness of the Diaspora we cling to the belief of the arrival of Messianic Era and the return to the Promised Land. Diwali or “Festival of lights” is an occasion of joy, prosperity and brightness. It is a significant festival for Hindus, Shanti Mehta and Vijay Mehta Sikhs, and Jains. While in Hinduism, Diwali signifies victory over Darkness, it marks the attainment of nirvana by Mahavira, in Jainism. Sikhs oftenrepresent Diwali as a ‘Day of Freedom.’ The festival has emerged as a prime tourist attraction of Varanasi and present a breathtaking spectacle as millions of diyas are lit on the ghats and sent floating the river waters. A large number of people, including Indian and foreign tourist, congregate on the ghats and take boat rides to witness the spectacle. Since the day also marks ‘Kartik Purnima’, millions of Hindu devotees take a dip in the river Ganga. The event is also beamed live on TV and singing and dancing events also take place on various ghats. For Hindus, Diwali is a five day extravagant affair. Dhanteras, the first day, is considered auspicious to buy Gold, household articles and specially utensils for kitchen. On this day, People gift “golden leaf”

Telegraph Blog Mindanao Peace Initiative – UK: Filipino Evening There was a Filipino evening in London last night at which Gene Alcantara introduced the Mindanao Peace Initiative – UK to the local Filipino community. There were several purposes for the evening: – Launching the Mindanao Peace Initiative UK – an initiative that seeks to promote peace in Mindanao, through projects in education, youth service activities, and other initiatives to bring young and old from different communities together in this Philippine area of Christian-Muslim conflict, as well as awareness-raising in the UK. Although focussed on Mindanao, any progress we make will benefit the whole country as well as contribute to world peace. – Introducing the Luzviminda Foundation, a new association aiming to connect Filipinos in the UK from all three main island groupings,and helping where it is needed. Many of the current Filipino organisations are already focussed on their own provinces, and Luzviminda hopes to supplement their role by not being restricted geographically. – Welcoming H. E. Ambassador Antonio Lagdameo and other new officials at the Philippine Embassy in London. During the evening Charles Hardie spoke passionately of his desire for peace in Mindanao. He had experienced through the Northern Ireland conflict the constant need for talks and economic development in order to bring peace. Imam Abdul Mannan Wahid from the Philippine Muslim Association – UK, spoke of Mindanao as a rich and bountiful island that requires peace to become prosperous. Andy Vilalba emphasised the beauty of Mindanao and the need for greater awareness and understanding of its situation. THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC MELTDOWN

There was a guided meditation and discussion led by Dr. Amarjeet-singh Bhamra. This was a good opportunity to find peace of mind after our busy working day. This was followed by a talk on the life and significance of Mansur al-Hallaj, the Sufi thinker who was executed for his controversial statements in 922issues surrounding Climate Change negotiations culminating in Copenhagen in December 2009. These include a talk by Dr. Yacob Mulugetta from Surrey University on Understanding Food, Water and the Energy Crisis on July 16th and a talk by Lawrence Bloom on September 3rd evening both at 43 Lancaster Gate. Dr Satwant Multani, the Chair of Central Scotland Interfaith, spoke of the Interfaith Youth Hostel project and the inspiration he had received from Paul Curries 1000 mile walk. He had raised £1000 for the Interfaith Youth Hostel among the members of his Gurdwara. A quick collection from the audience raised a further £180 for the project. Mindanao Peace Initiative by Gene Alcantara Dear Friends and Kababayans Gene Alcantara You will know that the conflict in Mindanao continues to cause pain and suffering, dislocation and costs

as areas of the book that he really appreciated. He emphasised an inspiring figure in history for him was Mansur Al-Hallaj who was executed for proclaiming that he had seen the Lord. He thought that such a figure would have been inspired by this book. He explained the spirituality of submission with reference to the Quran and Mansur Al-Hallaj. Concluding that ‘to know God is to know ourself and the only way to know yourself is to know others.’ The evening progressed well with a number of other contributions including that of Mohammed Ali, CEO of the Islam Channel and Dr Satwant Multani, Chair of Central Scotland Interfaith, who was visiting from Scotland. Prof. King summarised the evening saying, ‘I really wished Prof. Ninian Smart could still have beenRenewal of United Nations and Peace” at the great city of Seoul in the South Korea in the World Summit on Peace: A New Vision for Peace in 21st Century organised by the Universal Peace Federation – UPF.

I have two roles: First to explain what we have been doing in the United Kingdom for Peace and secondly explain the position of my faith. So far as Universal Peace Federation – UPF UK is concerned the major emphasis of this year has been to support the United Nations in its activities and make it more effective

through its organs. The UPF has held various activities in the UN buildings in New York, Geneva and Vienna promoting themes that support the wider direction of the UN. There has been a big emphasis on the UN International Day of Families and the September 21st Day of Peace at UPF Branches throughout the world. The UN International Day of Families has been supported by the UK branch with two events in London attracting an MP, local politicians a senior UNA representative, and interfaith leaders. There have been various activities in the UPF – UK promoting dialogue between cultures and faiths called for by several UN Resolutions for the Dialogue of Civilisations and Faiths.

Usually Vaisakhi is celebrated on April 14th but Parliament was in recess at that time. Despite coinciding with budget day a good number of MPs and Lords

gathered to honour the occasion. Mr. Bhai Sahib Mohinder Singh, the Chairperson of the BSCF, gave the keynote address explaining the historical significance of Vaisakhi as a time of humility, reflection and new start for the Sikh faith that comprises 24 million worldwide and 700,000 in the UK. He applied the lessons of this period to the current economic crisis saying, ‘every crisis is an opportunity and contains within it the promise and hope of new beginnings. The present crisis highlights the unity and interconnectedness of all humanity….I believe the present crisis presents us with very real prospects to rethink and reorganise the global order. The crisis has revealed to us the disconnection and void between policy making and moral practice which lie at its root.’ He emphasised thatuse audio recordings from her past“. – 4,5 stars, The Reviews Hub Cast & Crew Written, Directed and Designed by Doireann Coady Composed by Rob Moloney Dramaturg: Gary Keegan Associate Artist: Grace Dyas Lighting Design: Eoin Winning Associate Costume and Set Designer: Sarah Foley Choreographer: Ruairi O’Donovan Therapeutic Facilitator: Mari Kennedy “She's going to be doing a couple of songs, a couple of poems and maybe a few stories”

What Is Flakka? Here's What the Designer Drug Is Made of and Its Effects On Monday, a man named Travis Gordon was arrested for allegedly stabbing two men in Gifford, Florida, WPBF reported. The stabbing occurred last week, and Gordon is suspected to have been high on flakka, also called gravel — a dangerous designer drug that's cropped up in parts of the United States. This case is the latest in an epidemic of crimes, incidents and even deaths seemingly related to flakka. "I would say of all the drugs I've seen — cocaine, amphetamines, heroin, Oxycontin — this is the absolute worst," ER doctor Dr. Nail El Sanadi told NBC earlier this month. Flakka usage is on the steady rise, especially with the poor, NBC reported. There were nowhen Rhonda Sanchez overdosed with flakka and other drugs in her system in Deerfield Beach, Florida, according to the Sun-Sentinel. In March, a man high on flakka tried to scale a fence and impaled himself in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, CBS reported. The belief of having superhuman strength is a side effect of flakka, NBC reported. This month, a man who also took flakka attempted to break into the police department at Vero Beach, Florida, and spit on the deputy according to NBC. The cases go on. Flakka and other synthetic drugs were banned in China, after a visit by South Florida law officials in November, the Miami Heraldreported.

Born and raised in London, he was in his teens during the Brixton (1981) and Broadwater Farm (1985) riots in Tottenham (both triggered by the brutality and racism of the police). He rejects any comparison between those events and the recent turmoil. “Those people were battling vicious police, not terrorizing their neighbors or ransacking shops,” he explains.

Police say they have sealed off part of the Dutch parliamentary complex and arrested a man who was acting suspiciously and left a backpack on the ground. An explosives expert was called to check the backpack. The arrest happened Friday while the Dutch Cabinet was holding its weekly meeting in one of the buildings that make up the Binnenhof, or Inner Court. The Cabinet meeting was not interrupted by the police action. Hague police say in a tweet that part of the Binnenhof is closed while investigations continue. Further details were not immediately available.

Seven Obama alumni won their primary contests Tuesday, out of the 16 candidates with ties to the former president who competed in what was the biggest night of voting so far this year. That brings the number of candidates connected to former President Barack Obama who are advancing to November's general election to at least 17, according to an NBC News tally on Wednesday. According to the Obama Alumni Association, which is tracking the bids of former staffers, more than 66 veterans from his political campaigns, two administrations and Senate office are running in federal, state or local elections this year, and more may add their names as the primary season continues. A couple of the June 5 races, which occurred in California, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and fourother states, saw alums pitted against each other. And in some cases, their success Tuesday has them poised for historic firsts. Deb Haaland, 57, who according to The Associated Press won the Democratic primary in New Mexico's 1st Congressional District, would be the country's first Native American congresswoman if she wins again in November. She was a full-time Obama volunteer in 2008 and the New Mexico Native American vote director for his re-election campaign in 2012, and credits him with helping her find the courage to run. Many of her volunteers date back to those campaigns, and her office is still decorated with old Obama signs, she told NBC News last month. “I feel like if I hadn't worked for the president, I would never have had the courage or

the wherewithal to run,” she said at the time. "I think about him every single day." Deidre DeJear, 32, won the Democratic primary for secretary of state in Iowa, where she'll challenge the Republican incumbent, Paul D. Pate, according to The Associated Press. DeJear was the state's director of African-American outreach on Obama’s 2012 campaign, and a volunteer on his 2008 campaign. She is the first black person to be nominated by a major party to statewide office in Iowa, and if she wins in November, she would be the first to be elected to statewide office in Iowa, too, according to WQAD. DeJear defeated Jim Mowrer, who worked at the Pentagon during the Obama administration and on Obama's 2008 campaign, according to his LinkedIn page. Ammar Campa-Najjar, 29, came insecond in California's 50th Congressional District top-two primary, where he'll take on incumbent Rep. Duncan Hunter, a Republican, according to The A.P. (The Associated Press has confirmed winners that NBC News has not yet called because the margins of the races are small enough to not yet meet NBC News' statistical standards.) Campa-Najjar was a deputy regional field director for Southern California on Obama's 2012 campaign before moving to Washington for stints at the White House and Department of Labor. Tom Malinowski, 52, who served as an assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor in the Obama administration, won in New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, according to The A.P., where he'll challenge the vulnerable Republican incumbent, Rep. Leonard Lance. Also in New Jersey, Andy Kim ran uncontested in

the Democratic primary in the state's 3rd Congressional District. He spent six years in the Obama administration, most recently serving as the director for Iraq on the White House National Security Council. On previous primary election nights, Rich Cordray, former head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and Betty Sutton, an Obama appointee at the U.S. Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, advanced their joint-ticket bid to be governor and lieutenant governor in Ohio, while Colin Allred won in Texas' 32nd C.D.About the IFS The Institute for Fiscal Studies was founded in 1969. Established as an independent research institute, IFS was launched with the principal aim of better informing public debate on economics in order to promote the development of effective fiscal policy.

Viread FEATURED ARTICLES ABOUT VIREAD - PAGE 2 NEW DELHI: US drug company Gilead Sciences has filed an appeal in the Indian Intellectual Property Appellate Board (IPAB) to challenge a recent order by an Indian Patent Office that rejected two patent claims for its best seller drug Viread (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate). In August, the Indian Patent Office in Delhi shot down two patents sought by the US firm for Viread after patient groups and Indian company Cipla challenged its patentability. After India ushered in the new patent regime in 2005, the government provides 20-year marketing exclusivity for patented products. MUMBAI: Domestic pharma major Cipla is opposing US-based biotech major Gilead Sciences' patent application in India for anti-AIDS drug Viread. This is a unique situation, as Gilead has already licenced out marketingIndia. MUMBAI: Matrix Laboratories has received tentative approval for its abbreviated new drug application Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate tablets of 300 mg from the US Food and Drug Administration under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. The company is the first to get tentative approval for the generic of Gilead Sciences Inc's 300 mg Viread tablets. The company's ANDA was approved in less than six months and is the seventh under President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief in the last 12 months. NEW DELHI: California-based Gilead Sciences Inc has allowed four Indian companies to make and sell low-cost versions of three of its new HIV drugs under a firstof-its-kind agreement between an innovator pharmaceutical firm and a United Nations-backed patent-sharing body. Under the licensing deal, Ranbaxy Laboratories , Matrix Laboratories

, Hetero Drugs and Strides Arcolab can make and sell the three drugs in 100 countries, including India and other developing nations, by paying royalty. NEW DELHI: Blockbuster AIDS drug Tenofovir is set to get cheaper after its inventor and US patent holder Gilead struck non-exclusive licensing deals with four more Indian drug makers on Thursday. For crores of HIV/AIDS patients, the annual cost of treatment using tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (generic name) is set to fall from about Rs 60,000 to about Rs 16,000 in the coming days as the price war heats up. The drug blocks an enzyme which the virus needs to embed itself in a healthy cell and to programme itself to replicate. MUMBAI: Pharmaceutical companies in India seem to be conducting a few experiments outside theirlabs too. Among the new initiatives are clever product sharing arrangements with their rivals, so that the cost of development is spread among many players. Also, each of them benefits because a large number of doctors are informed about the product by a large sales army. Companies like Gujarat's Alembic, Hetero Drugs of Hyderabad and Mumbai-based Lupin have forged such alliances, sources say. Experts in pharmaceutical marketing say the trend of companies coming together to collectively push their products is natural as the industry faces pressures of consolidation. The battle lines between Western pharmaceutical transnationals and NGOs and patients' associations are now drawn sharper than ever before. At the core of the dispute are attempts to get patents for anti-AIDS drugs. NGOs, along with groups of people living with

AIDS, are fighting pharma MNCs trying to patent their anti-AIDS drugs in India. So far, 12 anti-AIDS drugs for which patents are being sought by pharma MNCs have been opposed, sources said. The Indian Network for People Living with HIV/AIDS (INP) MUMBAI: The correction in the Indian market is an opportunity to buy as the next five years will see the market in upward channel complimented by PE re-rating, says Dilip Bhat, Joint Managing Director , Prabhudas Lilladher . According to him, strong domestic participation from all investors big & small is expected in the Indian market as Indian growth story is visible.

Adelina Lozanova 1 December, 2017 The “Holy Virgin of Petrich” Church is among the few 13th-century churches preserved in Bulgaria. The church keeps preserved and restored murals dating back to the 13th century. The King Ivan Asen II stone inscription. An unassailable fortress sitting on an almost perpendicular cliff about 30 km south of Plovdiv defends the ancient route connecting Thrace to the Aegean Sea across the Rhodope Mountains. Known as Asen's Fortress (Asenova Krepost), the strategically located fort is one of the oldest strongholds in Bulgaria and nowadays among the most attractive tourist sites in the southern part of the country. The earliest archaeological finds on the site date back to the 5th century BC,

when the Thracians, drawn by the natural defence of the place, built a fort. It was used by the Romans and in the 6th century AD was considerably renovated by Byzantine Emperor Justinian to be used as a protection against incursions by barbarians, and mostly by the Slavs. The fortress was additionally fortified in the 9th century, this time around because of the incursion by the Bulgarian army in Byzantine territories. The fort is mentioned in the late 11th century in the Statutes of the Monastery of Bachkovo, founded in those days. Its founder, Gregory Bakuriani granted the citadel, called Petrich (from the Greek word petros meaning “rock”), to the monas­tery. In 1204, it was conquered by the crusaders only to be taken back a year later by BulgarianKing Kaloyan. The fortress was once again renovated in 1231 under King Ivan Asen II, as evidenced by an extant stone inscription, and for this reason was later called Asenova (Asen's). Archaeological excavations have unearthed fortified walls, an innermost keep, reservoirs of water, a small church, residential rooms, etc. The innermost keep or donjon was built on the hilltop. In peacetime it was the governor’s residence and in days of war it was used for defence and as a watchtower. The two reservoirs of water were built in the most well-protected part of the fort to collect rainwater. The well-preserved 13th-century “Holy Virgin of Petrich” Church is the landmark of the site. It was among the earliest across the Orthodox Christendom with a tower used both as a belfry and

a watchtower. It is a two-storey single-nave, single-apse, single-domed building with its sanctuary divided into three parts and a tower over the narthex on the second floor. The first floor was also used as an ossuary. The church itself, with its unique extant 14th-century murals, is on the second floor of the building. In the wake of the Ottoman conquest of Bulgaria in the late 14th century, the fortress lost its strategic importance and was forsaken. It was last mentioned in 1410 as a hiding place of one of Ottoman Sultan Bayezid's sons, who fought between each other as claimants to the throne.Man gets life in prison for homicide by child abuse in son's death By Ray Rivera and Live 5 News Web Staff| October 11, 2012 at 3:21 PM EST - Updated June 28 at 9:30 AM Roger Williams Grace Trotman Roger and Rodricus Williams BERKELEY COUNTY, SC (WCSC) - A man was sentenced to life in prison without parole after being found guilty of homicide by child abuse in the death of his son who was found in a cement-filled trash can. Roger Williams was found guilty on Thursday of homicide by child abuse and unlawful conduct towards a child for the 2010 death of his son, Rodricus Williams. During the sentencing hearing, a relative of Rodricus' thanked the judge and said "Rodricus got his day." Rodricus' mother, Shaneka Washington, attempted to make a statement

but was visibly shaken. Williams then spoke and apologized to Washington. The judge told Williams for what he did, "indifference was putting it mildly." Shortly after the verdict was read, Williams' attorney asked for a new trial stating that the 33 minutes that jury deliberated was too short. The judge denied the motion for a new trial. Before the verdict was given, the judge told the jury that they could consider three different charges for Williams which included homicide by child abuse, aiding and abetting homicide by child abuse and unlawful conduct towards a child. Evidence presented throughout the week included video shown to jurors of Williams buying cement and a trash can from a local hardware store. On Wednesday, a recorded phone call between Williams and his ex-girlfriend's sister, Ramona Smith, wasplayed for jurors Wednesday morning. On the recorded conversation, Williams admitted that he hit Rodricus so hard that the boy's chest was bruised. Williams then admits in the call that he was scared when he found his son unresponsive and tried to give his son CPR. In another recorded interview played to jurors, Williams recounts to a Berkeley County Sheriff's detective what happened just before and after the day Rodricus died. Williams says he rushed home from work after hearing his son was unresponsive. He said the boy seemed "out of life." Then he and then girlfriend, Grace Trotman, chose not to call an ambulance, according to authorities. In the recording, Williams admitted to dumping his son's body in a cement filled trash can and taking it to the woods near Vance,

she was living in Williams' home. Trotman said she observed Williams hit his son numerous times with closed fists. Trotman also testified that after Rodricus suffered a seizure, Roger Williams would not let her call an ambulance. Trotman said Rodricus' seizure happened after she hit the 2-year-old on his arm which caused his head to hit a wall. She testified Williams got a trash can, filled it with cement and water, and dropped Rodricus in head-first. Trotman said they used a rental truck to transport the trash can to an abandoned mobile home near Bowman in Orangeburg County, where they left it. Trotman said Williams then told her to tell police Rodricus fell into the water on The Battery in downtown Charleston.Roy Campbell: An Inventory of His Collection at the Harry Ransom Center Creator: Campbell, Roy, 1901-1957 Title: Roy Campbell Collection Dates: 1920-1987 (bulk 1942-1957) Extent: 4 document boxes (1.68 linear feet), 1 galley file (gf) Abstract: The Ransom Center's collection of Roy Campbell spans the years 1920 to 1987 and includes drafts of poems, prose works, and translations, as well as family and other correspondence. Also present are biographical and bibliographical material, including published reviews and criticism and a few photographs. Roy Campbell was born at Durban, Natal, on October 2, 1901, to Dr. Samuel G. and Margaret Campbell, the father African-born of Ulster Scots stock, the mother a Scot. Roy grew up in the rough-hewn setting of colonial Natal, displaying an early affinity for creative writing and an active outdoor life. Sent to Britain to attend Oxford at the end of World War I, he failed his entrance exams,

but defended himself by explaining to his father that "university lectures interfere very much with my work." Campbell plunged into a bohemian literary life, acquiring literary friends including William Walton, the Sitwells, and Wyndham Lewis. He met and married (in 1922) Mary Margaret Garman, a young beauty no less independent-minded than himself; they soon became the parents of daughters Teresa (Tess) and Anna. His first substantial work, a poem entitled The Flaming Terrapin, was written in the loft of a Welsh cowshed early in the couple's marriage and published in 1924. In 1925, Campbell returned to Durban to help found the journal Voorslag as a vehicle to help rid southern Africa of what he saw as its smug and parochial world view. This effort failed, and upon his return to England Roy Campbell published The Wayzgoose, a South African Satire. The Wayzgoose didlittle for Campbell's reputation, but his following collection of poems, Adamastor, published by Faber, was well received critically. By the end of the 1920s, Campbell's attitude toward Bloomsbury and the British intelligentsia in general had grown increasingly critical, and in 1931, after publishing The Georgiad, an anti-Bloomsbury poetic diatribe, Roy and Mary Campbell left England for the Mediterranean, settling first in Provence and by 1935 in Spain, where they were received into the Catholic Church. The Campbells were living in Toledo, Spain, when the Spanish Civil War erupted in the summer of 1936, and Roy's witnessing the murder of Catholic priests and nuns at the hands of militiamen of the Spanish Republic provoked the final break between Roy Campbell and conventional British literary leftism. Campbell became ever more outspoken on behalf of Francisco Franco and the cause of the rebelling Spanish Nationalists,

and in February 1939 published Flowering Rifle, a book-length poem filled with praise of Franco and condemnation of the Spanish Republic. When World War II broke out in September 1939, Campbell denounced Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany and returned with his family to Britain. After serving for a time as an air raid warden Roy Campbell was able to enlist in the British army despite his age and physical condition. A lengthy period spent shuttling between army camps in Wales and Scotland finally ended when he was sent to East Africa in 1943, only to be invalided out of the service in April 1944. Campbell returned to England and worked as a government clerk before being offered employment by the British Broadcasting Corporation at the end of the war. In the late 1940s and into the 1950s, Campbell was a producer forthe BBC before moving one final time to Sintra, Portugal. While Campbell had found Franco's ties to Nazi Germany in the late 1930s increasingly distasteful the authoritarian Salazar regime ruling Portugal at mid-century was to him endurable. In his final years Campbell turned more and more to literary translation, producing English versions of The Poems of St. John of the Cross (1951), Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal (1952), and two novels of Antonio d'Eça de Queiroz (Cousin Basilio in 1952, The City and the Mountains in 1955). In 1951, he published his second volume of autobiography, Light on a Dark Horse, later finding time for a North American lecture tour in 1953 and a 1954 visit to South Africa to receive an honorary doctorate from the University of Natal. Roy Campbell died on April 23, 1957, in an automobile accident near Setúbal, Portugal,

while returning to Sintra from Toledo after attending Holy Week ceremonies in Seville. The Ransom Center's collection of Roy Campbell spans the years 1920 to 1987 and includes drafts of poems, prose works, and translations, as well as family and other correspondence. Also present are biographical and bibliographical material, including published reviews and criticism and a few photographs. The collection is based on acquisitions from the collections of T. E. Hanley and Ellsworth and Joan Mason, along with portions of the papers of Uys Krige and the Campbell family. The collection, as arranged at the Ransom Center, is in three series: I. Works, 1931-1957 (2 boxes); II. Correspondence, 1920-1987 (1 box); and III. Biographical and Critical Materials, 1933-1979 (1 box). The Works series contains, in the main, projects Roy Campbell worked on the last half decade of his life while living in Sintra,Portugal. Translations of Horace's Ars Poetica and Federico García Lorca's La Casa de Bernarda Alba--neither yet published--are found here, along with Campbell's published versions of The Poems of St. John of the Cross and Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal. A partial manuscript of the critical work Lorca, along with the unpublished Taurine Epistles are also present. Drafts--often multiple drafts--of poems written in Campbells's years in Portugal are primarily contained in the 35 exercise books found under the headings "Manuscript notebooks" and "Notebooks." Of this group, only manuscript notebook 30 appears to date from the years before the Second World War. The largest part of the Correspondence series is Roy Campbell's letters to his wife. The earliest piece of this correspondence dates from 1924, but the bulk of the letters were written during the war years when Campbell was

stationed at various army camps in Great Britain and later in East Africa. There are also smaller groups addressed to Campbell's mother and to his eldest daughter Teresa. Literary correspondence is not prominent in the collection, but letters written by Wyndham Lewis, Alan Paton, and Edith Sitwell are found in Campbell's incoming correspondence and in the Third Party correspondence. The Third Party correspondence also includes letters between Teresa Campbell and Ellsworth Mason dealing with the sale of materials relating to Roy Campbell. The Campbell-Mason correspondence also includes biographical notes on the Campbell family supplied by Teresa, her sister Anna, and Anna's husband Rob Lyle. The Bibliographical and Critical Materials series is dominated by several drafts of articles about Roy Campbell written by his friend Uys Krige between the early 1930s and 1958. The earliest of these date from Krige's first meeting with Campbell inthe south of France in October 1932 and conclude with two pieces dating from shortly after the poet's 1957 death. Also found here are a number of bibliographies and reviews from the Ellsworth and Joan Mason collection of Roy Campbell. Note: Following the Index of Correspondents there is additionally an Index of Titles and First Lines. While this latter index is not exhaustive, it was believed that it would help give a better idea of the contents of the exercise books which comprise a large part of this collection. Many of the poems, essays, and other works by Campbell found here in draft form are perhaps not well known nor yet, in many cases, published. The Art Collection holds, in the Olaf de Wet collection, a portrait head of Campbell of painted plaster; in the Photography Collection are photographs of Roy and

Swadheen Kshatriya said, "We will comply with the order." Tupe had submitted an application to the office of the social justice minister, which was accepted but not replied to. After the Act was implemented, barring the chief minister's office, other ministers' offices gradually stopped accepting applications, saying they should be sent to the department concerned and not the ministry. But in such scenarios, unless the applicant categorically asked about a particular detail regarding the minister or ministry, s/he wasn't given that information. And, with the ministers' offices left out of the RTI ambit, applicants would fail to get information that only the minister and his/her ministry was in the know of. Now, with Gaikwad's order, recommendations made by ministers, letters they write and other details, like their daily schedule, are expectedNicholas Laurence G is in high school but his part-time job is directing music videos for FookMovie (Fook Movie Videos (http://www.fookmovie.com)), the visual production division of Golosio Publishing. He sees his age as an advantage. "Most music videos I see are like some Hollywood director's idea of what's unusual," G says, "but ours are really strange. Of course, for us, strange is normal." G's video to "Thorne" (from the Electro Bop album) is loaded with symbolism that is both religious and psychological. Images in the video deal with concepts as varied as birth, death, baptism, violence, sex, repression, molestation, resurrection, and redemption. For the video to "Go Through the Secret Door" (from the Jonny Harmonic album), G assembled a psychedelic collage of money, mysterious hooded figures, decorated skulls, guitars and

keyboards thrashing underwater, a pixilated dance sequence from 1938, and a strange close-up of a face partially covered with two dozen clothes pins. His video to "Keyboard Flavor Monkey" (from the Burning Fan Soundscapes album) takes a humorous approach, with an obviously fake gorilla playing a variety of expensive custom guitars and cheap plastic keyboards, plus images of the big monkey performing human tasks like driving around town, typing or brushing one's teeth. Serving as editor on "Put it Where You Want It" for Euro dance artist Giannetta Marconi was a side project that helped him focus on his main goal. "I don't mind editing, but its better when you can also direct the project." What's on the horizon for G? FookMovie has many more videos planned for 2009, severalof which will involve Nick as editor and/or director. "Doing both is hard work and very time consuming, but its good fun," G states. The FookMovie Web site has all of the company's videos in Quicktime with links to the videos on YouTube and Veoh. Combining visual poetry, surrealism and performance art, the music videos of Nicholas Laurence G are a featured attraction of FookMovie. A Los Angeles-based collective of artists, musicians and videographers, FookMovie has completed an average of one video per week since opening in April of 2008. Musicians and bands with FookMovie videos include Scott Joss and Doug Colosio, The G-Man, James Sotelo, Jonny Harmonic, Country-Fried Funk, and Giannetta Marconi.

car's powertrain hold true. In store for the Aventador is a heavily-electrified drivetrain that will still make use of a naturally aspirated V12, further improving what is found in the Aventador today. The rumor is 770 horsepower plus 300 kW (402 horsepower) of electric steroids courtesy of two electric motors on the front axle and one in the rear, totaling 1,172 horsepower when paired. It will reportedly ditch the Aventador's single-clutch transmission for a dual-clutch Getrag unit.

The Drive has reached out to Lamborghini for comment on both the alleged transfer of ownership and the construction of its upcoming supercars, and weThe game’s bizarre storyline (told with fabulously hyperbolic narration) involves a fledgling super-hero, who, decked out in a trenchcoat and fedora, sets out to free the noirish Metro City from the clutches of the evil Sutekh, Egyptian super-villian extraordinaire.

You, as Nightshade, must wander the city’s streets, searching for clues, defeating villains, and attempting to gain favor with the denizens of Metro City.

Here, you control three facets of a Civil War army, cannons, foot soldiers, and the calvary, as they rush across the battlefield trying to wipe the other out. Last army standing wins the war and goes on to fame and fortune and a future of bullying lesser nations like Iraq and Canada. I should also mention that when I initially rented this game, back in the days when Vanilla Ice was topping the charts and Los Angeles had football teams, it became a neighborhood sensation. We had North & South tournaments. For the few days I had it, kids would be crammed into my bedroom fighting over who gets to beNetflix is bringing the Millarworld comic book Reborn to life on screen, Deadline reports today, with Chris McKay (The LEGO Batman Movie) set to direct and both Sandra Bullock and Vertigo Entertainment on board to produce. Talk about a power team, eh? The site even notes that Bullock *could* star in the film. The sci-fi fantasy comic series by Mark Millar and Greg Capullo tells the story of an eighty year-old woman, Bonnie Black, who dies in a Manhattan hospital only to find herself reborn in the prime of life in the afterlife world of Adystria, a magical land of monsters and dragons where good and evil are waging an eternal war. There, she finds old friends and loved ones waiting, except the husband who died before her. Armed with

Nobody sidelines Grace Jones (Picture: Claire Greenway/Getty Images) Bond 25 isn’t out for another year, but it has already been plagued by setbacks. And they can add another issue to the growing list, as Grace Jones has reportedly dropped out of the movie at the last minute. The music legend was lined up to appear in the as yet untitled James Bond film, 34 years after starring in A View To Kill with Roger Moore. However, you don’t sideline Grace Jones – which producers apparently discovered when Grace realised that her part was only a small cameo with few lines. According to The Sun, the 70-year-old walked away from the project after realising how few lines she had – leaving producers furious after they organised ‘premium accommodation’ near Pinewood Studios for the SlaveClimate change is hitting the United States’ corn and soybean belt on two fronts. Warming temperatures are both increasing evaporation of soil moisture in the region and causing weaker summer rainstorms that are dropping less precipitation in the Midwest during the growing season, according to new research by scientists at Columbia University’s Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. The researchers said this trend will only get worse as global temperatures continue to rise. The U.S. corn belt — which includes western Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, eastern Nebraska, and eastern Kansas — accounts for more than a third of the global corn supply and is the world’s largest source of soybeans. The region typically gets most of its rainfall during summer months. But the new research, presented this month at the annual

meeting of the American Geophysical Union, found that evaporation from soils and plants in the region is exceeding net rainfall during these months. In addition, summer storms — which are shaped by temperature differences between the poles and midlatitudes — are becoming weaker, leading to less precipitation. As global temperatures increase, the atmosphere holds more moisture, explains a press release from Columbia University. This triggers a greater moisture difference between the Central Plains and the polar regions, “so the storms are trying harder to remove the moisture from the region, to smooth out the gradient,” said atmospheric scientist Mingfang Ting, who led the research. Ting and her colleagues’ work shows that this moisture is being transported away from the corn belt to higher latitudes, including northern regions of theThe Cincinnati Public Schools administration is aware of a hoax letter circulating on social media that implies that a coach at Mason High School made disparaging remarks about students at Withrow High School in advance of the upcoming football match. We have confirmed with Mason High School's administration that no coach of that name is employed and are confident that this letter is an unfortunate hoax. We understand that Mason High School will take extra measures to ensure that Friday night's football game is safe and filled with good sportsmanship.

Movie "Deep Blue" - DVD Movies Encyclopedia Short description of the movie "Deep Blue" Alastair Fothergill's nature documentary Deep Blue consists of 90 minutes of footage of undersea creatures — living, surviving, fighting, and dying. Similar to like-minded documentaries such as Winged Migration and MicroCosmos, Deep Blue features footage from locations throughout the world. The great British actor Michael Gambon provides the narration, which favors involving the viewer emotionally over providing enlightening factual information on the creatures. The 22 segments of the film conclude with footage of how man has affected life under the sea. This film was originally produced for the British television series The Blue Planet. According to the filmmakers, some of the creatures seen here have never been previously recorded on film. We are proud to advice toviolating international norms. US Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen said on Wednesday that China has launched an unprecedented campaign to influence the opinions of Americans,however, Beijing has not yet attacked US election systems. READ MORE: China is Creating New Powerful Tool to Counter Trump's Trade Offensive Trump's accusations of election meddling come as the United States and China have become increasingly embroiled in a trade dispute that has seen the two sides impose tariffs on billions of dollars’ worth of goods. The trade war between China and the United States escalated in June when US President Donald Trump announced that $50 billion worth of Chinese goods would be subject to 25 percent tariffs, with Beijing responding in kind. The latest round of the US tariffs came into effect in September, which

deteriorated the situation even further. Trump said during a United Nations Security Council meeting last month that China was meddling in the 2018 midterm elections. Vice President Mike Pence echoed Trump's accusations during a speech at the Hudson Institute in Washington DC on October 4, saying that China is trying to influence American public opinion in the 2018 and 2020 elections because, "Trump's leadership is working, and China wants a different American president."

What it was: A large spacecraft concept intended for long-term missions developed in response to two goals in the NASA Authorization Act of 2010: developing a crewed exploration vehicle capable of operating beyond Low Earth Orbit, and incorporating new technologies into NASA programs. Details: Long-term readers may have noticed that, even for a blog devoted to space projects that didn’t happen, few of the ships discussed here are very big. Contrast this with the regular images of spacecraft in science fiction, even the ones with pretensions to realism like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Mission to Mars. Gravity is a harsh mistress and real spacecraft like Soyuz and Apollo are miracles of miniaturization because the cost of launching anything larger is prohibitive. The notable exceptions are vehicles that were proposedcame in January 2011. The NAUTILUS-X (supposedly a tortured acronym for Non-Atmospheric Universal Transport Intended for Lengthy United States eXploration, but almost certainly instead a shout out to the Nautiluses of Rickover and Verne as well as the X-planes of the past) was floated as a concept by NASA’s Technology Applications Assessment Team as part of a general program to build infrastructure and spacecraft that either developed or integrated new technology. Prior to the building of the craft two main projects would be undertaken: the development of cryogenic propellant depots for placement in LEO and at the Earth-Moon L1 point, and the building and testing of an inflatable centrifuge ring for attachment to the ISS. Once these were in place, the NAUTILUS-X would refuel at one and incorporate a

People (mostly women) who think “male tears” is okay to say are horrible. For a surprising majority of male tears responses, the male that is being mocked has a legitimate problem. I am a woman and used to be a feminist. I actually thought that male tears was harmful at one point. It changed when I saw it in action. I used to work at a women’s shelter in my town. I volunteered and helped mentally and physically abused women get their lives back together. About month in, a white male who happened to be my neighbor knocked on the door. His head had dried blood on it, he was heavily bruised, and he was crying. Apparently, his new wife had beat him and kicked him out of hisman needed help, but was denied because of his gender and the color of his skin. Because the girls just saw “privilege” and turned him away with the justification of “wah wah, male tears.” It was disgusting. The worst time that I heard it was while I was at a bar with other friends. A guy in his early 30’s came in crying. He ordered one of the cheap drinks and asked us if we had any work for him. He said that his 3 kids were in the hospital across the street. All three had the same genetic disease that kept them in there in pain. He was a single parent apparently ran out of money and insurance to pay the hospital. Instead of the understandable ‘he might

be scamming us’ thought, my friends and a few people in the bar did the bawling eye motion that represents “wah male tears” Then a few tried talking to him about the statistics of single mothers in America, telling him that he had it better than them because he was a man. This guy had all three kids in the hospital and all these people could think about was making him feel bad. AS a woman, one of my greatest fears is having a child, loved one, or worse, multiple loved ones in the hospital. No one cared because he was a guy. Some older people there said that that guy spent almost every night there drinking cheap alcohol and crying over his kids. All he did wasand comfortable and close to Campbelltown which is where we needed to be each day. The street was quiet and directly across the road from a park and not too far from the train station. Only suggestion would be a second TV in the living area, but overall a very pleasant stay.
