In an alleged case of ‘love jihad’ in the city, a 25-year-old techie from the city was forced to convert, sexually assaulted, and then dumped for allegedly failing to follow religious customs. Hyderabad: In an alleged case of ‘love jihad’ in the city, a 25-year-old techie from the city was forced to convert, sexually assaulted, and then dumped for allegedly failing to follow religious customs. Though she was being confined in Dubai by her fiancé, the girl managed to escape, return home and lodged a complaint with the Malkajgiri Police. A case has been booked against Safdar Abbas Zaidi on charges of rape and cheating. G. Sandeep, the ACP of Malkajgiri, said the victim had been sent for medical tests and the investigation had begun. “Proposals to issue a Look-Out Circular(LOC) will be sent so that the suspect, who is now in Dubai, may be nabbed,” he said. The victim, who hails from Malkajgiri, was working for an MNC in Somajiguda when she fell in love with Abbas. After a few months, he moved to Dubai for work and she followed him. After being in a relationship for four years, Abbas promised to marry her provided she converted to Islam. Though she was unwilling, he forced her to convert and made her follow Islamic traditions. He then started making more demands from her. “She was only allowed to go out wearing a burqa, with her face covered, and she was forced to follow all the Islamic traditions and rituals. The more she pleaded, the more he forced her,” said a family

member of the victim. During one of their meetings, Abbas forced the girl to have intercourse and went on to sexually assault her many times. The couple was due to be married, with both families’ consent, on April 17. Once the date was set, Abbas put forth the condition that she would have to sever ties with her family after the marriage. Then, one day he told her that she was not following Islamic customs properly, and so she would not be able to adjust to his family. Saying this, he broke up with her. In December, his parents informed the girl’s parents that the marriage would no longer be happening. Abbas’ father Aleem Akhtar Abid Zaidi, asked the girl’s parents to visit Haj House in Nampally to change the girl’s nameAn outpouring of support is coming across Russia for cadets of an aviation institute who produced a controversial humorous sexy music video. Some even went on to recreate the original and publish their versions. The tongue-in-chick video of semi-naked young men dancing to the tune of 2002 hit ‘Satisfaction’ by Italian DJ Benni Benassi was published this week and quickly went viral in Russia. It was produced by students of an institute in Ulyanovsk, which teaches civilian aviation professionals. While some were skeptical or even resentful the gay BDSM-themed clip, many others found it utterly funny, artistic and really nothing to fuss about. The supporters were also concerned about the reports that the air cadets may face disciplinary action for their creation, and some decided to show their support by

recreating the video. Here is one apparently made by students of an Emergency Ministry academy. And another one apparently shot at an agricultural college in Ryazanovo, a town some 70km from Ulyanovsk in western Russia. And many, many more. Future construction workers, medical workers and school teachers of both sexes showed off their underwear twerking skills. As did journalists from a local news channel, who shot their video in the street in bone-chilling -37 degrees Celsius – though, understandably, clothed. The crowd cheering for the aviators is far from limited to fellow students. Among those who have called on their institute’s management to exercise restraint in their reaction were Governor Sergey Morozov of the Ulyanovsk Region and the local branch of the transport prosecutors’ office, which is tasked with overseeing the institute. However,Hillary Has Still Not Released Delegates Even as Hillary Clinton takes to the Convention floor this evening, she has still not released her pledeged delegates to support Barack Obama. Several Indian American delegates who spoke to Little India, said the delegates were part of a conference call on Thursday, but they were not instructed even in that call to support Obama. Longtime party activist and Clinton delegate Rajen Anand told Little India that he is fully behind Barack Obama, but as a Clinton delegate he is pledged to support her until she directs the delegates otherwise. That has still not been done. Likewise, Upendra Chivukula, a state legislature from New Jersey, also a Clinton delegate, says he supports Obama, but Clinton had not released her delegates to support Obama as of

NORTH PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Drug overdose deaths appear to be on the rise in Philadelphia.There have been almost three dozen suspected deaths due to heroin since the first of December.The increase could be as much as 30%, the medical examiner said.And, officials warn, there could be even more.Debbie, a homeless heroin addict who lives on the streets of Kensington, one of Philadelphia's busiest heroin trafficking areas, said she is aware of the deaths.She sells syringes to get money to feed her habit."Yes I am," she said, "and I'm trying to get help."Police say an exceptionally lethal batch of heroin may be partly to blame, but may not the singular cause of this latest epidemic.Officials across the area say they are doing the best they can, but as longdocumentary Meeting People Is Easy—structures the film to preserve a sense of loss and also a sense of seeking.

The rediscovery of the Coasean ‘make-or-buy’ perspective on coordination became the starting point for an extensive literature in economics aiming to explain firm organising, which developed over the course of some twenty years. This literature is still core to the study of the firm. Austrian Economics and the Firm The emergence and development of the literature on economic organisation in the 1920s and 1930s coincides with the Socialist Calculation Debate, one of the great debates in economics. The latter was prompted by the work of Austrian economist Ludwig von Mises, who argued that an economic system based on socialism was both theoretically and practically impossible. Mises was a proponent of the Austrian or ‘causal-realist’ school of economics founded at the

University of Vienna, which focuses on studying the real market through the lens of a deductive theoretical framework. The tradition’s focus on the market as it is, rather than — as in modern mainstream economics — highly formalised mathematical models with only occasional relevance to the real workings of the market, suggests it perhaps should have researched the firm. After all, markets both then and now are predominantly populated with firms; most economic activity takes place within or between such organisations. Yet, in contrast to neoclassical economics, which gave the topic a lot of attention in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, the Austrian school did not develop a theory of formal economic organisation, and even less a theory of the firm.

Adam Posen is the Deputy Director of the Peterson Institute for International Economics. Paul Krugman states that Posen is “the go-to guy for understanding Japan’s lost decade.” He has been an adviser to the Federal Reserve Board, Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry, the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank, and the Bank of England. Among other books he is coauthor with Ben Bernanke et al. of Inflation Targeting: Lessons from the International Experience.Eurosceptic Conservatives have rallied round Boris Johnson urging him to hold his nerve and push for a general election, with little sign they blame him for the humiliating supreme court judgment that ruled his advice to the Queen was unlawful. Anger within the party was directed more towards Geoffrey Cox, the attorney general, and Dominic Cummings, the prime minister’s senior adviser, who is the architect of his Brexit strategy. A cabinet source said that while ministers were shellshocked by the chaos they were not in the mood to ditch Johnson on the eve of a general election when he was still leading in the polls. The source said Cox was being blamed for advising ministers that the prorogation was completely lawful and there would be no problem with it. There was

should the 2.4 percent reduction to future spending he originally proposed take place. He framed himself with first responders, teachers and miscellaneous members of the Village People in order to promote the notion that budget cuts strike where it hurts. He trotted out his Department of Homeland Security to proclaim that budget cuts would mean freeing illegal immigrants. He trotted out his Secretary of Education to claim that teachers were already receiving pink slips. Obama knew that his tactics would not achieve his supposed goal – more targeted spending cuts rather than the heavy-handed broad-swath cuts automatically taking place under sequestration. But he knew that his tactics could help him achieve his real goal: casting all spending as vital, and all cuts as devastating. With the implementation of sequestration, however, Obamais a sham. The agreement calls for muck farmers to build a 10-mile ditch system to stop water seeping into the fields from Lake Apopka. Formal adoption of the agreement between St. Johns officials and the Zellwood Drainage District - a group of 18 farmers on the north shore of the lake - has been set aside until the outcome of Tuesday's hearing is decided in about two months. Ed Lowe, an aquatic ecology specialist for the water district who also is on the restoration council, said he too doubts the agreement would work. The restoration council was created by the legislature to advise the water district on how to clean up Lake Apopka. Its members were appointed by the governor. Others, however, are more hopeful the agreement will work. ''It does what

CHARGERS 2015 ROSTER A position-by-position breakdown of the Chargers roster in advance of training camp, which begins July 30. Arguably no Chargers position had a more compelling dynamic than tight end — where all four returners from 2014 enter the final season of their contract — before a suspension stripped a quarter of the season from the only one with a Hall of Fame resume. Little argument remains. Nowhere rivals what the Chargers have here. Antonio Gates can practice in training camp and play in the preseason. But he will not be on the roster Sept. 13 against the Lions, serving the start of a four-game suspension after a positive test in April for an undisclosed, banned substance. Ladarius Green, John Phillips, David Johnson and perhaps a fourth name are expected to carrythe torch. True life without Gates, 35, inevitably will come some day. The team gets a sample of it now. The most obvious fallout to his missed games against Detroit, Cincinnati, Minnesota and Cleveland is the extended opportunity afforded to Green. The fourth-year tight end has developed under the Pro Bowler, Gates often referring to the speedy 6-foot-6 receiver as a “little brother.” How this mentorship translates onto the field, well, it’s time to see. Scheme and health kept Green from a large offensive role in 2014. Gates has played 47 of 48 games since Green entered the league, the only missed game coming in Green’s rookie season. The time has come. Green took first-team reps at organized team activities and most of minicamp, leaving a good impression. Coach Mike McCoy, offensive coordinator

serious interest after the draft, signing him with a sizable $7,000 bonus. He was limited part of the spring with an unspecified injury but is expected to be a full participant next Thursday for the start of camp. Kyle Miller, Dave Paulson and rookie Eric Frohnapfel also will compete for a spot. Blockers first Philips and Johnson likely won’t be asked to pick up much of Gates’ slack in the receiving game. At least, they’ve largely been blockers in the NFL to date, including in 2014. Phillips was used as a blocker on 177 of 202 offensive snaps, a rate of 87.6 percent. Johnson blocked on 163 of 180 snaps, a 90.6 percent clip. Phillips’ lone catch was a 1-yard touchdown. Johnson had one reception for four yards. Production lost Gates totaled69 catches for 821 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. That included, for perspective, 17 receptions, 215 yards and three scores the first four weeks. He was named AFC Offensive Player of the Week after a Week 2 win over the Seahawks in which he caught seven passes for 96 yards and three touchdowns. Gates later joined Cris Carter, Marvin Harrison and Terrell Owens as the only players in NFL history to record, at age 34, 12 touchdowns in a season.

"Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it." Edmund Burke. What happened on this Day in History? Monday, July 29, 2013 This Day in History: Jul 29, 1976: Son of Sam terrorizes New York The so-called "Son of Sam" pulls a gun from a paper bag and fires five shots at Donna Lauria and Jody Valenti of the Bronx while they are sitting in a car, talking. Lauria died and Valenti was seriously wounded in the first in a series of shootings by the serial killer, who terrorized New York City over the course of the next year. Once dubbed the ".44 Caliber Killer," the Son of Sam eventually got his name from letters he sent to both the police and famed newspaper writer Jimmy Breslin that said, "...I am a monster. I am the Son of Sam.I love to hunt, prowling the streets looking for fair game. The weman are prettyist of all [sic]..." The second attack came on October 23, 1976, when a couple was shot as they sat in a car in Queens. A month later, two girls were talking on a stoop outside a home when the serial killer approached, asked for directions, and then suddenly pulled a gun out and fired several shots. Joanne Lomino was paralyzed from a bullet that struck her spine, but her friend was not seriously injured. The Son of Sam attacked again in January and March of 1977. In the latter attack, witnesses provided a description of the killer: an unattractive white man with black hair. After yet another shooting in the Bronx in April, the publicity hit a fever pitch. Women, particularly those with dark hair, were discouraged

from traveling at night in the city. When the Son of Sam missed his intended victims in another murder attempt in June, vigilante groups formed across New York City looking for the killer. His last two victims were shot on July 31, 1977, in Brooklyn; one died. Then, police following up on a parking ticket that had been given out that night discovered a machine gun in a car belonging to David Berkowitz of Yonkers, New York. When questioned, Berkowitz explained that "Sam" was his neighbor Sam Carr--an agent of the devil. Sam transmitted his orders through his pet black Labrador. Years earlier, Berkowitz had shot the dog, complaining that its barking was keeping him from sleeping. After the dog recovered, Berkowitz claimed that it began speaking to him and demanding that he kill people. In an unusual sequence of events, Berkowitz was allowedmoving most of them on to Sicily or the Italian mainland.

the time that petrol prices increase has always interested me. In particular, I have never quite understood why people insist on going out of their way to fill up their tank the day before petrol goes up. It might seem obvious as to why they do this, but consider this angle. A while back I was at a friend’s house the night before the petrol price was due to go up by around 30c. They remembered that the price was due to go up the next day, so they promptly got in their car and drove off to the nearest petrol station to fill up. It was an inconvenience, but my friend was happy that they had got one over the petrol station.

The only justices who served longer were William O. Douglas, whom Justice Stevens replaced in 1975, and Stephen J. Field, a nominee of President Abraham Lincoln who served for much of the late 19th century. During his 35-year tenure, Justice Stevens left his stamp on nearly every area of the law, writing the court’s opinions in landmark cases on government regulation, the death penalty, criminal law, intellectual property and civil liberties. He also spoke for the court when it held presidents accountable under the law, writing the 1997 decision that required President Bill Clinton to face Paula Jones’s sexual harassment suit, and the 2006 opinion that barred President George W. Bush from

holding military trials for prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba without congressional authorization. AD AD But it was in his frequent dissenting opinions that Justice Stevens set forth a view of the law that seemed increasingly — but not automatically — liberal as the years went by and as the court shifted to the right. A strong proponent of federal power, Justice Stevens sharply criticized the limitations Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and his fellow conservatives put on Congress’s power to define and remedy violations of federal law by the states. Notable deaths in 2019: Elijah Cummings, Cokie Roberts, Toni Morrison and others we have lost this year share Share View Photos View Photos Next Image In Bush v. Gore, the 2000 election case that helped George W. Bush win thepresidency, Justice Stevens lamented in dissent that the five justices who backed Bush would “lend credence to the most cynical appraisal of the work of judges throughout the land.” AD In 2004, when the court, citing technical reasons, dismissed the plea of U.S. citizen Jose Padilla, who was being held incommunicado as an enemy combatant, Justice Stevens blasted the majority for ducking issues “of profound importance.” AD “If this Nation is to remain true to the ideals symbolized by its flag, it must not wield the tools of tyrants even to resist an assault by the forces of tyranny,” he wrote. Justice Stevens’s reference to the flag harked back to a 1989 case in which the decorated Navy veteran of World War II joined Rehnquist and other conservatives in dissenting from a ruling

that recognized a First Amendment right to burn the American flag. AD “The ideas of liberty and equality have been an irresistible force in motivating leaders like Patrick Henry, Susan B. Anthony, and Abraham Lincoln, schoolteachers like Nathan Hale and Booker T. Washington, the Philippine Scouts who fought at Bataan, and the soldiers who scaled the bluff at Omaha Beach,” Justice Stevens wrote in that case. “If those ideas are worth fighting for — and our history demonstrates that they are — it cannot be true that the flag that uniquely symbolizes their power is not itself worthy of protection from unnecessary desecration.” Privileged, turbulent youth John Paul Stevens was born in Chicago on April 20, 1920, the youngest of four sons. The family lived in Hyde Park, near the University ofChicago. His mother was a high school English teacher. His grandfather James W. Stevens was the founder of the Illinois Life Insurance Co. and owned the LaSalle Hotel, which Justice Stevens’s father, Ernest, managed. AD AD In 1927, the family opened the Stevens Hotel in Chicago, billed as the largest hotel in the world at the time. Justice Stevens enjoyed a privileged childhood: He attended private schools affiliated with the University of Chicago, met celebrities such as aviators Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart at the hotel, and was lucky enough to be in the crowd at Wrigley Field on Oct. 1, 1932, when Babe Ruth hit his famous “called shot” home run off Cubs pitcher Charlie Root. But the Stevens businesses went bankrupt during the Depression and Justice Stevens’s father, his grandfather

in English and was starting to study for a master’s degree in the same subject when a dean persuaded him to train in naval intelligence instead. Justice Stevens joined the Navy as an intelligence officer on Dec. 6, 1941 — the day before Pearl Harbor was attacked. He would later joke that his commissioning had provoked the Japanese to strike, because they took it as a sign of American desperation. AD He spent World War II at Pearl Harbor, working as a signals intelligence officer. His specialty was “traffic analysis,” the compilation of Japanese messages to discern patterns in communication that might help identify or locate enemy forces. He was awarded the Bronze Star for helping to decode a particularly difficult Japanese radio call sign. AD Justice Stevens was on duty the dayAmerican pilots shot down Japanese Adm. Isoroku Yamamoto’s airplane, a strategic coup made possible in part because of interception of Japanese radio transmissions decoded by naval intelligence. The targeted killing of Yamamoto troubled Justice Stevens, who explained in a 2005 interview with law professor Diane Marie Amann that it sowed his first doubts about capital punishment, which he considered another form of deliberate killing by the state of a named individual. AD After the war, Justice Stevens attended Northwestern University’s law school on the G.I. Bill and graduated in 1947. He made top grades and professor W. Willard Wirtz described him as “undoubtedly the most admired, and at the same time, the best liked man in school.” At Wirtz’s urging, Justice Wiley B. Rutledge, a liberal appointee of President Franklin D. Roosevelt,

to support a “fair hearing” in court for the alleged enemy Germans. “Otherwise,” Justice Stevens wrote, “the attorney general would have an unlimited power over aliens and citizens alike to deport upon a finding that the party was an enemy alien.” AD After his clerkship, Justice Stevens practiced law in Chicago, developing a specialty in antitrust law. During the 1950s, he took a year off to serve as an aide to a congressional antitrust subcommittee that investigated professional baseball, and served two years as an aide in the Justice Department during the Eisenhower administration. His first marriage, to Elizabeth Sheeren, ended in divorce. In 1979, he married Maryan Mulholland Simon. She died in 2015. John Joseph Stevens, his son from his first marriage, was a Vietnam War veteran, and died of cancerin 1996 at 47. Justice Stevens later recused himself from ruling on a case involving war veterans’ exposure to Agent Orange, an herbicide linked to cancer and other diseases. A daughter from his first marriage, Kathryn Jedlicka, died in 2018. AD Survivors include two other daughters from his first marriage, Elizabeth Jane Sesemann and Susan Roberta Mullen; nine grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren. In 1969, Justice Stevens was chosen as counsel to a special commission investigating bribery allegations against two justices of the Illinois Supreme Court. His investigation ultimately resulted in the justices’ resignation and propelled Justice Stevens to statewide fame. At the recommendation of Sen. Charles H. Percy (Ill.), a moderate Republican, President Richard M. Nixon appointed Justice Stevens to the Chicago-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit in November

1970. Five years later, again with the support of Percy and another Chicago friend, then-Attorney General Edward Levi, Justice Stevens received President Gerald R. Ford’s nomination to replace retiring Associate Justice William O. Douglas on the Supreme Court. He was confirmed by the Senate 98 to 0 and took the oath of office on Dec. 19, 1975. 'May I ask you this?' Justice Stevens quickly became known as an unpredictable thinker who showed his independence by having his law clerks separately review all petitions for certiorari to the court, rather than participating in the centralized “pool” made up of clerks from the eight other justices. In frequent concurring and dissenting opinions, Justice Stevens explained the gradations of difference between his views and those of his colleagues, prompting a fellow justice, Potter Stewart,to quip that Justice Stevens “should have been called John Paul Jones — ‘I have not yet begun to write.’ ” Sporting his signature bow ties, Justice Stevens was also known as one of the most courteous of the justices in oral argument, usually prefacing his questions by asking a lawyer, “May I ask you this?” He more often reached conservative results in those days. In 1976, for example, he cast a fifth vote to permit states to reauthorize the death penalty just four years after the court had invalidated it. Later, he voted to strike down strict affirmative-action plans in university admissions and government contracting. As the country, the court and the GOP moved right, Justice Stevens did not. He began to take a more favorable view of affirmative action,

and fought to limit the scope of the death penalty. In 2002, Justice Stevens wrote the majority opinion in a 6-to-3 decision that banned the death penalty for the mentally disabled. In 2005, after years of condemning the death penalty for offenders younger than 18, which the court upheld in 1989, Justice Stevens won a fifth vote for his side. As the senior justice in the majority, he assigned the majority opinion to the swing voter, Anthony M. Kennedy, a moderate conservative who had previously supported the death penalty for juveniles. In a concurring opinion, Justice Stevens defended Kennedy from a blistering dissent by Justice Antonin Scalia. Justice Stevens also wrote the opinion for a 6-to-3 majority in a 2004 case in which the court rejected the George W. Bush administration’s viewas an exercise of judicial restraint, a conservative legal principle. He argued that the result was dictated by precedent, and by deference to the decisions of legislatures that were still free to limit such property condemnations if they wished. In 2012, President Barack Obama, who had chosen Solicitor General Elena Kagan to replace Justice Stevens after his retirement in June 2010, bestowed on Justice Stevens the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country’s highest civilian honor. Perhaps a more personal tribute occurred on his final day on the bench, when lawyers and spectators throughout the U.S. Supreme Court chamber wore bow ties in his honor. In retirement, Justice Stevens had an active and, at times, controversial second career as a writer and commentator. He freely expressed agreement and disagreement with the court’s

on the Middle Ages and Renaissance to examine modern _materialism –_ a growing focus on exchange and consumption. Rather than examining religious ideas, she argues that changing patterns of production and exchange during the Renaissance created and reflected cultural shifts that fueled modern capitalism. Craftsmen and artists began to produce prints, books, and paintings with an eye to profit rather than maintaining the traditional view during the Middle Ages that excess wealth should be saved or shared among one's peers. The growing mass production of prints for sale to common people and creation of paintings for the wealthy and nobility helped shape modern class structures and stimulate modern consumer behaviors. Additionally, printed maps promoted long-distance navigation that brought luxury goods and precious metals to Europe, but people alsopredatory mortgages (including large fees and variable interest rates that increased the likelihood of default) in the run-up to the 2007–9 subprime mortgage crisis that began in the United States and spread to several other regions. From the 1940s until the 1970s, realtors and white residents also attempted to keep African Americans outside white neighborhoods through various tactics later deemed illegal. Hence, African Americans were restricted in their ability to purchase that quintessential American consumer good, the single-family house, unless they could buy it with cash or purchase it via an intermediary (through a land contract) (Dreier et al. 2004; Cohen 2003; Johnson and Kwak 2011).

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 188 people across the Southland -- with the majority in Los Angeles County -- during a five-day operation, officials said.According to ICE, the operation, which ended on Wednesday, targeted individuals who threatened public safety, "such as convicted criminal aliens and individuals who have violated our nation's immigration laws."The arrestees included a convicted rapist and a previously deported cocaine trafficker, ICE said in a statement released on Thursday.Among those who were arrested, at least eight now face federal prosecution for re-entry after deportation, a felony punishable by up to 20 years in prison, the agency said.Other criminal convictions listed on the ICE statement include drug offenses, domestic violence, DUI, sex crimes, battery, weapons violations, assault, burglary, fraud, vehicleTelevision coverage of Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration reached an average total of 30.6 million viewers across the 12 broadcast and cable news networks that provided live updates throughout the day, about 18% down from the viewers who tuned in when Barack Obama was inaugurated in 2009. About 38 million people watched coverage of the 2009 inauguration, far more than for Trump’s swearing-in ceremony. Throughout his campaign, Trump bragged about his ability to get high TV ratings. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Fox News Channel led the networks in coverage, and was the only network that saw an increase in viewers from 2009. NBC News came in second. First-term inaugurations typically draw more viewers, and Trump’s ceremony surpassed Obama’s 2013 oath of office, which saw an average of 20.6 million viewers. Trump

Reception Aravind of indolink.com, criticized the film and actor Karthik : "Karthik should spit out whatever he has in his mouth before delivering the dialogues. His mannerisms are also getting on people's nerves." Balaji Balasubramaniam gave 1.5 out of 5 and he said : "The director's flair for comedy is obvious at several places but unfortunately, is not sustained throughout the movie. But the segments where Karthik shuffles his identities are not as hilarious. The unnecessary, shortlived diversion into 'masala' elements hurts the movie even more.

Left Voice Wikileaks Cablegate and the decline of the United States December 06, 2010 On November 28, the daily papers New York Times, The Guardian, El País, Le Monde, and Der Spiegel, began to publish some of the more than 250,000 confidential documents of the US State Department, leaked to the press by the WikiLeaks site. This is the third massive leak of documents, preceded by the disclosure of almost 500,000 reports on the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, in which crimes committed by the occupation troops are described in detail. In an interview with Forbes Magazine, Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, announced that the site will next make public other documents referring to the practices of big corporations and banks, among which would be the Bank of America. The US government isabout the main imperialist power, the magnitude of the leak represents a crisis for Obama’s administration, which saw its political capital vanish in scarcely two years in power and has just suffered a harsh electoral defeat at the hands of the Republican Party. But, above all, it is a more than eloquent sign of the decline of the United States empire.. A blow to diplomacy The "cables" (which retain the old name of secret documents, prior to the information age) consist of reports, accounts, and interviews exchanged between the White House and officials of about 270 embassies and missions of the United States throughout the world, mainly dated between 2007 and 2010. The publication of these documents left an open secret exposed: "that the US uses its embassies as part of

a global espionage network, with diplomats tasked to obtain not just information from the people they meet, but personal details, such as frequent flyer numbers, credit card details and even DNA material" (The Guardian, 28-11-10). As stated in the reports, the Secretary of State herself, Hillary Clinton, requested this type of espionage on the Secretary General and high-ranking officials of the United Nations, as well as allied and enemy political leaders. Until now, some of the governments allied or semi-allied to the United States alluded to in the cables, like that of France, Great Britain, Italy, Saudi Arabia, and even Russia, have given priority to the defense of secret diplomacy and the condemnation of WikiLeaks and appear to agree on diminishing the seriousness of the incident. However, because of the natureof the reports and comments where the ambassadors make insulting descriptions of Presidents and officials, use arrogant language or recount in detail "indiscretions" heard in appointments, interviews or suppers, the real importance that the leak will have in international relations is still unclear. To this is added the disclosure that the alleged confidential information handed over to the US embassies by governments, officials, businessmen or informers, was immediately put up on the Sipdis network, which potentially almost 3 million people from the Departments of State and Defense can access. The "reality" of media and imperialist decline The policy of the US government is to try to play down the importance of the leak where the central problems and alliances of the United States are concerned. Hillary Clinton launched a dual

operation, still under way, to limit the possible damages to US diplomacy. This operation consists, on the one hand, of trying to change the incident into a problem, not only of the United States, but of "the entire international community," and, on the other hand, emphasizing that, according to the documents, governments that are enemies of the United States, like Iran or North Korea, have no ally and could face harsher policies. The big imperialist press, related to the Democratic administration, like The New York Times, is collaborating actively in repairing the image of the Obama administration, in advance of what will undoubtedly be the Republican attack, by showing that Obama was successful where Bush had failed, for instance, in getting China and Russia to accept a hardening ofdomination, but also the big challenges and limits that it confronts in order to achieve that, in the context of the crisis of the international economy and of the growing tensions among the great powers, as the deterioration of the United States’ relationship with Germany shows. To name only the most difficult situations, in Iraq, the United States will have to cope with a second government headed by al-Maliki, that will have the support of the radical cleric al-Sadr, who represents a pro-Iranian Shiite group that confronted the military occupation with armed militias. The formation of this government, 8 months after the elections, was negotiated by Iran. Although Obama had succeeded in lining up Russia and China behind a policy of more severe sanctions against the Iranian regime, up to

now this policy has not been effective for the interests of the imperialists and the allies of the United States in the region, mainly Israel and Saudi Arabia, that are pressing for the launching of a military attack. The situation in Afghanistan continues to be critical for the occupation troops. NATO admitted at its recent summit in Lisbon that combat operations would last until 2014, at least. The United States is obliged to support the government of Karzai, whom it considers to be corrupt, as an ally, and to accept negotiations, sponsored by Pakistan, with the Taliban leaders, to try to limit the scope of the insurgency. The resolution of the crisis that has begun on the Korean peninsula, based on the tense relationship between the United States andChina, is still uncertain. In the context of the international economic crisis that threatens to enter a more acute phase, anticipated by the European crisis and the so-called "currency war," obviously the United States no longer has the strength to impose its own conditions. Secret diplomacy and imperialism The publication of the cables has exposed the nature of imperialist policy, its wars, its conspiracies, and its secret diplomacy in the service of defending and extending the interests of the US in the world, and also how the puppet and pro-imperialist governments serve those interests. In a recent interview, the founder of WikiLeaks expresses expectations that the publication of secret documents could result in a "reform." But secret diplomacy is inherent in the capitalist states and in imperialism. In November, 1917, the revolutionary

Russian workers’ state decided to disclose the secrets of the tsarist regime’s diplomacy and the plans for colonial division of the Middle East among the allied imperialist powers. Trotsky, who was the first People’s Commissar for Foreign Affairs of the Russian workers’ state, in his statement announcing this disclosure, wrote: "Imperialism, with its dark plans of conquest and its criminal alliances and treaties, developed the system of secret diplomacy to an unprecedented level. The struggle against imperialism is, at the same time, the struggle against capitalist diplomacy, which has done enough damage to fear coming out to the light of day." (Declaration on the publication of the secret treaties, L. Trotsky, November, 1917). These words are fully valid today.Play Disable your screen reader before downloading.

'Big split' at Essendon There is an increasingly bitter row between the Essendon coach James Hird and AFL chief Andrew Demetriou over a phone conversation that took place the night before the club made public its concerns over potential doping. Transcript icon-plusicon-minus SALLY SARA: Embattled AFL club Essendon is in the headlines again, and not for its showdown against Hawthorn tonight. There is an increasingly bitter row between the club's coach James Hird and AFL chief Andrew Demetriou over a phone conversation that took place the night before the club made public its concerns over potential

doping. At its heart, the dispute centres on whether Essendon was tipped off by the AFL chief that it was under investigation - something the Andrew Demetriou denies. Madeleine Morris reports from Melbourne. MADELEINE MORRIS: "The Big Split" is the headline in Melbourne's Herald Sun this morning and it's hard to imagine a bigger crisis in Essendon's 140 year history. On one side is coach James Hird; on the other the club's chairman David Evans and the head of the AFL Andrew Demetriou. It has emerged James Hird told the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) about a phone call that Mr Demetriou made to Mr Evans late on February 4th, the day before Essendon called a media conference saying it was self-reporting potential doping. The previous week Mr Demetriou had been briefed by thereading. When I was young I got these books one every week or month and the had different levels of difficulty. Some of these books are still some of my favourite stories, like Even Steven and Odd Todd. All through primary school was the book nerd, while everyone went out to play and run around, I would sit in the library or in the shade and read. Although I got picked on in primary school for just being me and for reading all the time, it was the least drama I have ever had in school. I honestly wish I would have stayed like that through high school. Throughout high school I read the books I needed to for school and some books but nowhere near the amount I used

device of such original character as to arouse feelings of wonder and skepticism until experts had seen it in actual operation. It is a device to draw electricity from the atmosphere for light and power, and the 30-day parole was granted in order that the inventor might protect his rights through the patent office at Washington. With the acquiescence of the legislature, Governor Hunt granted the parole and the prisoner was allowed to go free without any guard or any assurance but his word of honor that he would return. Two days before the period had elapsed, Meyer again presented himself before the governor, having accomplished his mission, and then returned to the penitentiary at Florence, where he continues to serve his sentence. This, in brief, is the picturesque storywas turned over to Meyers and was fitted up as a workshop and a laboratory. The first demonstration of the new apparatus was made shortly thereafter, the electricity drawn from the atmosphere being used to spark the gas engines of the pump house, and although the device was crude yet it did the work, and removed the doubts of his friends. Furtter development of the “absorber” followed, and his second model was constructed, and developed 8 volts. The machine came to the attention of the remarkable woman who brought his name before the legislature. This was Miss Kate Barnard, State Commissioner of Charities and Corrections of Oklahoma, who was a guest of Mr. Sims, while studying prison conditions. She saw the machine at work, became familiar with the facts

of Meyers’ case, and was impressed by his rather blunt and unaffected personality, for Meyers has nothing of the polish or glibness of the poseur. He is a simple, earnest student of mechanical problems and not the sort of man to make a sentimental appeal for sympathy because of any grace of person or manner. Therefore it was the value of Meyers’ invention, together with his essential integrity (in spite of his lapse) which so strongly impressed Miss Barnard that when she appeared before the Arizona legislature not long afterwards, addressing that body on the need of enlightened legislature along the line of her own work, she told the story of Roy Meyers and his epoch-making invention. So, early in May, Meyers set out for Washington, unaccompanied. In his ownextracts the electric current from the air. Mr Meyers invention was made last summer while he was confined in the penitentiary at Florence, Arizona. His first finished apparatus was made in Baltimore. A practical, unlettered electrician, Mr Meyers, while in Arizona, was arrested on a comparatively minor charge and sent to the penitentiary. There he was placed in charge of the prison electrical plant, and there he says he made his discovery that the current which the civilized world is beginning to use most extensively for light and power could be transformed from the atmosphere without the aid of moving machines or batteries. Miss Kate Barnard, Commissioner of Charities and Corrections, of Oklahoma, hearing of Meyers’ invention and of his desire to have it patented, appeared before the Arizona Legislature to

make an appeal in behalf of the young convict. As a result a special bill was passed which granted Meyers a month’s leave of absence on parole. He went unaccompanied to Washington, filed his patent applications and returned to the penitentiary. Since then he has been indefinitely paroled. He came to Baltimore as the place where he could easily obtain the mechanical parts needed to make a more nearly perfect machine than the crude model he has fashioned in the penitentiary workshop, and is making his headquarters here while working on his invention. With him is W.E. Chenot, who has been his assistant in assembling and testing the machine and who says that he has bought Meyers’ patent rights for Germany. They have proved beyond doubt that the invention ispractical and that when finally brought to a state of perfection it will introduce a new epoch in the industrial use of electricity. By Westinghouse meters they tested the strength of the current gathered from the air, and with the use of only two of the four rectifying transformers the voltmeter recorded four and one-half volts, and the ammeter, which had the capacity of recording 75 amperes, was broken by the force of the current. The machine itself is simple. It is in reality a transformer, which is familiar to anyone knowing anything at all about electricity in its practical uses. On a high tripod, which resembles somewhat the framework of a windmill tower, is the transformer, which Mr Meyers calls his ‘absorber’. It is made up of an

substantially into V form, as clearly seen in Figure 1, and the V1 of one of the plates opens or faces toward the north and the V of the other plate to the South. I have determined by experimentation that it is essential that the plates 3 be disposed substantially north and south with their flat faces approximately parallel to the adjacent faces of the co-operating magnets, although by experience I have not discovered any material difference in the current obtained when the plates are disposed slightly to one side of north and south, as for instance when the plates are disposed slightly to one side of north and south, as for instance when disposed in the line of the magnetic polarity of the earth.

The visiting San Antonio Spurs dominated the Miami Heat again, crushing the two-time defending champions 107-86 in Game Four of the NBA Finals yesterday to move within one victory of clinching the championship. The one-sided win gave the Spurs, who routed the Heat by 19 points in Game Three in Miami, a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals and put them in position to claim a fifth championship in 15 years when the series shifts to San Antonio for Game Five on Sunday. Kawhi Leonard led San Antonio's balanced, ball-sharing attack with 20 points along with 14 rebounds and Tony

Parker added 19 points as all 13 players on the roster joined in the scoring spree for the Spurs, who led 55-36 at the intermission. James, a shadow of himself during the first half, came alive in the third quarter in scoring 19 of Miami's 21 points but it was not enough to slow the dazzling Spurs. Four-time NBA most valuable player James led the Heat with 28 points, with Chris Bosh next highest with 12. San Antonio put on a sensational offensive show in Game Three by shooting an NBA Finals record of 76 percent in the first half of that runaway road win. On Thursday, they put themselves in position to avenge last year's agonizing, seven-game finals loss to Miami with another sublime display of ball movement and motion thatproduced wide open three-point chances and open layups and dunks. The Spurs led by nine after the first quarter, by 19 at the half and by 24 heading into the fourth quarter. Two other less heralded Spurs stood out through their contributions. Australian backup guard Patty Mills scored 14 points, including 4-of-6 from three-point range, and France's Boris Diaw had a great all-round game with eight points, nine rebounds and nine assists. It would take a record comeback for Miami to claim a third successive NBA crown. No team has ever prevailed in the NBA finals after falling behind 3-1.

The blanket refusal has been made despite freedom of information officers in the Education Department seeing no impediment to the release of expense details of Mr Pyne's $30,000 trip to London and Rome in April. Mr Pyne came under fire after taxpayers were billed $1352 to "day let" a room at a swish London hotel before the minister and his wife, Carolyn, flew back to Australia on the same day. More than $2000 was spent on VIP services at Heathrow Airport for the Pynes. The documents revealed Mr Pyne had got around guidelines that prevent spouses being funded on overseas trips unless in certain circumstances with a special letter of approval by Mr Abbott's chief-of-staff, Peta Credlin. The request for documents was made in the Senate after the government refused freedompoet The novel begins at the end of World War II, as the narrator, Yuichi Watanabe, tells us. At the age of twenty, he is "behind bars" at Fukuoka Prison, having exchanged his "brown guard uniform" for "red prisoner's garb" since the Americans (who have occupied Japan, of course), have "classified" him as "a low-level war criminal," charging him with abusing prisoners. He doesn't deny that he's guilty; au contraire, he knows that yes, he has "yelled at them and beaten them," but he also realizes that part of his guilt was in as he says, "doing nothing." He "didn't prevent the unnecessary deaths of innocent people," he "was silent in the face of the insanity, " and he'd "closed" his "ears to the screams of the innocent." Before

the actual story begins, though, Watanabe clues in his readers to the fact that what he's about to say isn't solely about him, but rather "about the war's destruction of the human race. This story is about both the people who lacked humanity and the purest of men. And it's about a bright star that crossed our dark universe 10,000 years ago...My story is about two people who met at Fukuoka Prison." And thus begins the novel in full, comprising Watanabe's story, which begins with the horrific murder of a prison guard who was also in charge of censorship duties. Watanabe is tasked with the investigation into Sugiyama's death, but this young man, whose mother repaired and sold books and who developed a deep and abiding love of literature whilegrowing up, is also tasked with Sugiyama's censorship duties, which to him are abhorrent. It is an interesting setup, really, because while the investigation of the crime acts as a frame getting us into the workings of the prison, underneath all of that is the story of the last days of a Korean "resistance" poet named Yun Dong-Ju, (1917-1945) who was arrested supposedly for political activities, but in my opinion ( at least via this book), his only major crime was being Korean. It is also a story about the power of literature to transform even the hardest of souls, about the enduring legacy of literature, about freedom, about different forms of both resistance and oppression, and about the plight of the Koreans under Japanese colonial rule. As

volume is that The Dead Letter is actually, according to Catherine Ross Nickerson in her work The Web of Iniquity: Early Detective Fiction by American Women, "the first American detective novel." (29). Both books are also, as she notes, "documents of a moment in cultural history when the young professional seemed to hold the promise of mediating between the cloudy-minded nostalgia of the landed class and the unprincipled greed of the merchant and capitalist classes." (31) While there's definitely a LOT going on between the lines and a lot going on here that is discussion worthy, these books are also fun reads for anyone interested in American literature of this period that won't likely be found on any general American Lit course syllabus.

Faced with a 10 per cent tariff on its ketchup and other goods, American food company, Kraft Heinz is opening a new front in Canada's ketchup wars. Heinz took a public relations beating after moving its ketchup production to the U.S. in 2014, enabling Canadian-made French's ketchup to steal the spotlight. Now the company, which merged with Kraft in 2015, has begun its own PR campaign to highlight its Canadian connections, including the products it still makes in this country. "We are a good corporate citizen, and truly part of the Canadian fabric," said Av Maharaj, vice president of corporate affairs for Kraft Heinz Canada, shortly before the tariffs took effect on July 1. U.S.-made Heinz ketchup imports will be hit with a 10 per cent tariff, but French's product won'tits products for the Canadian market, including canned beans and tomato juice.

Declining sales Food industry expert, Charlebois says it's a little late in the game for Kraft Heinz to try to put a positive spin on selling the Leamington plant. He suspects the company is speaking out now because it has reached a breaking point. "It feels like an 'enough is enough' kind of campaign." He has been tracking Kraft Heinz's PR battle in Canada, and says the company contacted him this week for advice on how to control its image. "If you're doing that, you've got be concerned." Heinz has good reason for concern — after rival French's ketchup stole the spotlight for sourcing Leamington tomatoes, the lesser-known brand has seen a big boost

While little specifics of the plot have been released, following Baz Luhrmann’s style, we can certainly expect The Get Down to be full of fantasy, decadence, and romance. The Australian director has often cited Italian grand opera and Bollywood films to be his main source of inspiration, and we look forward to seeing how that will play out in New York City in the ’70s. While Luhrmann is only expected to direct the first two episodes as well as the season finale, his style will inevitably set the tone for the whole series. Academy-Award winning costume and production designer Catherine Martin has already signed on for the project.

In another longitudinal study of associations between the neighbourhood environment and child and youth screen time, Timperio et al25 and Veitch et al32 found that relationships varied depending on the neighbourhood features being examined and on the screen behaviour of interest (eg, TV viewing time, computer use or electronic games use). A recent review of child and youth sedentary behaviour reported that neighbourhood environmental factors such as topography, living in urban areas and perceived neighbourhood safety to be key correlates.6 Living in suburban versus traditional neighbourhoods, limited public transport availability and lower population density have been found to be associated with greater time spent sitting in cars.16 A study of 10–12-year-old children living in inner West Sydney found that“One of them, who they called ‘Doctor,’ drew his gun and put its cold barrel to my temple.

I did. When we reached a less crowded area he grabbed my hands from behind and several men descended on me and put me on a motorbike.” He was sandwiched between two agents and taken away. The young man looked so proper that Abdollahi did not imagine he could be a security agent. “I struggled so much that the three of us fell to the ground,” he says. “Athan 1000 Arrested in Iran Protests, January 4, 2018 Why Reformists Do Not Empathize with the Protesters, January 2, 2018 Hundreds Arrested in Iran as Protests Continue, January 2, 2018 People Have Left the Reformists Behind, January 2, 2018 A second revolution in Iran?

his preface to Peutinger, Alciato describes his emblems as a learned recreation, a pastime for humanists steeped in classical culture. The Emblemata grew to include over 200 individual emblems and appeared in hundreds of editions, of which probably the best known is that published in Padua by Tozzi in 1621, the Emblemata Cum Commentariis Amplissimis. The "very full commentaries" to which the title refers were written by the French scholar Claude Mignault. Alciato's work spawned thousands of imitations in all the European vernacular languages: secular, religious, or amorous in nature, emblem books were an integral part of European culture for two centuries.

Ranked as one of the top wine events in the'General Education,' 1.5 stars "General Education" is kind of like a science-fair project slapped together at the last minute -- a sad, withered potato pierced with copper wires, rotting on the counter next to a resplendent baking-soda volcano. You can't help but feel a little sorry for the poor spud. The film puts in about as much effort into winning a prize ribbon as that hypothetical potato battery. Defiantly humorless, the comedy is little more than a grab-bag of familiar high school-film cliches populated with bland characters played by barely-there actors. It was clearly a labor of love for no one. High-school senior Levi Collins (Chris Sheffield) is on his way to a heck of a life. Accepted on a full athletic scholarship to a prestigious college, Levi is poised to

achieve the tennis greatness that has run in his family for generations. Which would be awesome if he wanted to play tennis for a living, which he doesn't. Oh, and if he hadn't failed his senior Earth Science class. That means clandestine summer school for the teen, who can't bring himself to tell his overbearing mayor father (Larry Miller) or alcoholic mother (Janeane Garofalo) that he didn't really graduate. Meanwhile, his tennis rival, Chad (Tom Maden, who mugs squint-eyed at the camera like a discount James Franco), threatens to strip him of the scholarship while thwarting his efforts to pass his class. It's boring enough that the drama centers on Levi's inability to communicate his post-high-school desires to his father -- that's only the plot to roughly a third ofbegan in November 2012 when the teen learned that her 17-year-old boyfriend was still in contact with his former girlfriend. "The accused was not at all happy that he was still in touch with his ex," Fisher told CNN. The teenager initially threatened the ex-girlfriend on Facebook, the prosecutor said. She then texted five explicit pictures of the ex-girlfriend that she found on her boyfriend's phone to a group of people, Fisher said. The teen's attorney, Christopher Mackie, said the charges were inappropriate. "Our sights have always been set on the constitutional question. ...She never denied that she did this," he told CNN. "Online bullying, yes. Child pornography, no."

NEW DELHI: India football legend Bhaichung Bhutia has advocated the appointment of Indian Super League club's current coach Albert Roca as the next coach of the national team. The Spaniard signed with Bengaluru FC in 2016 when they were in the I-League and went on to win Federation Cup with the team apart from guiding them to a historic first ever AFC Cup final. Writing in his column for TOI, Bhaihung pointed out Roca's familiarity with Indian football and his tactical nous make him a perfect candidate to succeed current head coach Stephen Constantine . "Bengaluru FC’s Albert Roca is a shrewd tactician, Bhaichung wrote. "This is his second season in Indian football after a memorable first where, apart from winning the Hero Federation Cup, he guided BFC to a historicAFC Cup final, the first-ever for any Indian club." "Great coaches always have the capability to bring out the best and Roca has been spot on with his signings. Bear in mind that he also steered Bengaluru to the inter-zonal AFC Cup final earlier this season. The fact that he has been able to balance Bengaluru’s hectic schedule is something which makes him stand out. Tactically, he has just been exceptional." Bhaichung terms Roca as the ideal coach for the future. "With his profound knowledge and experience in Indian football, he is the ideal coach for the Indian football team in future," The All India Football Federation (AIFF) is scheduled to meet on February 7 to decide on whether to extend Constantine's contract under whom Indian football team has notched up

It is an extract from this book chapter that also looked at how the CPGB and the SWP reacted to the events of 1989. For those interested in reading further on this, Lawrence Parker is contributing a chapter on the CPB to the forthcoming edited volume for Manchester University Press, Waiting for the Revolution: The British Far Left from 1956, vol. II. Keep an eye out for this in the new year! MS announcing the end of the

Soviet Union in December 1991 The Communist Party of Britain was, and remains, probably the most significant party that was sympathetic to the Soviet Union and Soviet-styled Marxism-Leninism. The CPB had emerged from the discontent inside the CPGB during the mid-1980s as the Party tried to grapple with the ‘victorious’ Thatcher Government, who had defeated the Argentineans in the Falklands War, had defeated Labour in the 1983 election and looked to defeat the trade unions in the 1984-85 Miners’ Strike. The fierce debate over the role of the industrial unionism had rumbled on within the CPGB since Tony Lane criticised the role of the trade unions inside the pages of Marxism Today in late 1982.[1] The Morning Star, under the editorship of the traditionalist Tony Chater, became increasingly criticalof the reformers (or ‘Euros’) in the Party and a beacon for those dissatisfied with the way the CPGB seemed to be going. Between 1983 and 1988, a series of expulsions, resignations and heated arguments led to several factions being formed around various discontented Party and ex-Party members,[2] including the Straight Left and The Leninist factions, but most importantly for the CPB was the Communist Campaign Group, which eventually formed the Communist Party of Britain in 1988. Many believed that the CPB would sink into oblivion like the New Communist Party and the various Maoist outfits which left in the 1960s and 1970s, but the saving grace of the CPB was its links to the Morning Star. Although it was nominally under the control of the People’s Press

Printing Society since 1946, Kevin Morgan has stated that ‘[t]he paper nevertheless remained the acknowledged voice of the CP[GB] until the factional disputes of more recent years’.[3] ‘Control’ of the Morning Star by the CPB meant that the fledgling group had a widely read and well-established organ to reach into the British labour movement and until the mid-1990s, provided the CPB with a significant income. Even though the CPB was sympathetic to Soviet-styled Marxism-Leninism, the Party was not in favour of the Leninist method of armed insurrection or the dictatorship of the proletariat, with the CPB opting to maintain The British Road to Socialism as their programme. The Party’s favourable opinion of the Soviet Union was an almost historical hangover, based on nostalgia and popular memory, rather than seeingthe Eastern Bloc as a blueprint for a socialist revolution in Britain. But even this view of the Soviet Union acknowledged the severe shortcomings of the Soviet experiment. As would be expected, the language used in the Morning Star in its reporting on the events from 1989 to 1991 was much more moderate than what was expressed in Marxism Today or the Socialist Worker, but there were many positive stories about the people’s uprisings in Eastern Europe and the moral and political bankruptcy of the collapsing regimes. When the Ceaucescu regime was toppled in Romania in December 1989, the Morning Star editorial team published on the front page: The Morning Star salutes the heroism of the Romanian people and sends it condolences to those who have lost loved ones

November 1992, the CPB published their resolution on the Soviet Union (republished in 1998), which stated a very similar argument, stating: [t]he root cause of the collapse lay in the particular forms of economic and political structure which developed in the Soviet Union. Specifically, the great mass of working people came to be progressively excluded from any direct control over their economic and social destiny. This erosion of the very essence of socialism increasingly affected all aspects of Soviet society.[13] As Robert Griffiths, the General Secretary of the CPB in 1998, wrote, ‘With the working class excluded from a genuine mass role in the administration of industry and the state… and the party exercising state power as a bureaucratic-centralist organisation, Marxism-Leninism was distorted into a dogma and adopted as aturn, brought a renewed interest in the far left’s history. Corbyn’s victory in July 2015 had been on the back on a wave of enthusiasm amongst different sections of the Labour Party membership – trade unionists, young people, those who flirted with the Greens and other minor parties, working class members, and, of course, refugees from the British far left. Many on the far left had written off the Labour Party as unreformable in recent years, but Corbyn’s entry into the leadership contest after the 2015 election made a number of the Party’s leftist critics reassess their analysis of Labour. The election of Corbyn as Labour leader seemed to many to overturn the assumed position of the far left since the advent of New Labour in the 1990s. From Militant

2000s that Corbyn had been involved in, primarily Stop the War, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, Unite Against Fascism, and the Palestine Solidarity Campaign. However as the last year has proved, trying to reform the outlook and membership base of Labour Party (which has been the intention of many of those supporting Corbyn) while trying to maintain the emphasis on electoralism (which has been the focus of the Party since 1945 at least) has brought the Party to near schism. Looking at the long history of the relationship between the British far left and the Labour Party, it seems that the lessons of the 1960s (when the IMG and IS became entities in their own right) or the 1990s (when Militant Labour had its ‘open turn’) might have toLabour Party nowadays. In his recent book on the Corbyn ‘revolution’, Richard Seymour has suggested that the Labour Party ‘may simply be untenable in its current form’.[4] The gap between the electoral desires of the Parliamentary Labour Party and the grassroots call for reforms by a large section of the Party’s membership, not to mention to shifting voting base for the Labour Party, seems unsurmountable – and a resolution to suit all involved is unrealistic. Journalist and economist Paul Mason has recently suggested that the Labour Party should become a social movement, rather than simply an electoral political party. However the post-war history of the British far left highlights the difficulties in creating a social movement around an organised political party, rather than a single issue organisation. As Phil

Party finds itself in 2016). It is hoped that our forthcoming book, as well as the previous volume, will help provide readers with this understanding.

By late December 1989, the revolution sweeping across the Eastern Bloc had reached Romania and in the days before Christmas, the dictator Nicolae Ceausescu attempted to shore up his regime by launching a military offensive against those protesting against the dictatorship.On December 21, Ceausescu attempted to give a speech in Bucharest which descended into open revolt and a massively violent crackdown by sections of the army and police loyal to Ceausescu. The Ceausescus fled the capital, but were captured by sections of the military who supported the revolution. On Christmas Day 1989, Nicolae and Elena Ceausescu were quickly tried and executed on national television. The Morning Star, formerly the daily newspaper of the Communist Party of Great Britain but by then connected to the breakaway Communist Party of Britain, had reported on the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, but, as I have shown here, had reported the events from a very sympathetic to the Soviet Union perspective. However the reporting of the final days of the Ceausescu regime revealed a much

more celebratory tone. For example, on December 23 1989 – two days after Ceausescu’s ill-fated last speech – the Morning Star editorial team published on the front page: The Morning Star salutes the heroism of the Romanian people and sends it condolences to those who have lost loved ones in the struggle. Despite the enormous difficulties still to be overcome, Romania is set to join the movement for democracy and Socialism sweeping Eastern Europe. We wish them every success. However inside the newspaper, it was qualified that Ceausescu became a ruthless dictator after 24 years in power, reminding readers that he had opposed in the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia in 1968. In a further editorial on December 27, the Morning Star stated that the ‘unbridled exercise of personal power’ used by Ceaucescuhad ‘nothing to do with the ideas of Socialism’ and further celebrated the ‘heroism of the Romanian people in the face of terrorism of the so-called security forces’. Finally on December 28, the paper published excerpts from the trial of the Ceausescus and reported that life was returning to normal in Bucharest after the overthrow of the Ceausescu regime. As I wrote in this book chapter, the newspaper’s favourable opinion of the Soviet Union was an almost historical hangover, based on nostalgia and popular memory, rather than seeing the Eastern Bloc as a blueprint for a socialist revolution in Britain. But even this view of the Soviet Union acknowledged the severe shortcomings of the Soviet experiment. As would be expected, the language used in the Morning Star in its reporting

did have a wide national infrastructure beyond London through the 1980s and was certainly on a par with, if not in some places more deeper rooted than, the other oppositional stream around the Morning Star (see below). Factions and fictions The Straight Left group provoked a lot of enmity from its factional rivals in the CPGB. Thus, Mike Hicks, who was involved in the Communist Campaign Group (CCG), set up after the rebellion of Morning Star supporters against the CPGB leadership in the mid-1980s, and later the first general secretary of the 1988 Communist Party of Britain split (both criticised and opposed by the Straight Left faction), said in the late 1990s: “Straight Left was neither straight nor left.”[ii] Similarly, a CCG document complained: “The individuals grouped around Straight Leftwas the modus operandi of nearly the whole far left, from the Morning Star to various Trotskyist groups i.e. communists clothing their politics in everything from trade unionism to feminism and concealing their true aims in the pursuit of mass influence. Again, in hindsight, Straight Left doesn’t strike one as very exceptional in this regard. In retrospect, the enmity aimed at it on these counts stands revealed as the product of mere factional rivalry. However, another area of criticism aimed at Straight Left may have more mileage in terms of a lasting judgement. The group was deemed by its CPGB factional rivals (both in the CCG and the small group around The Leninist) to have a ‘heads down’ approach to CPGB work. In the words of the CCG such

left in the 1980s for its Eurocommunist proclivities] instead of the Morning Star because the executive told them to”.[v] However, what this Straight Left strategy of avoiding open conflict eventually led to, in the context of a CPGB that was being set on a liquidationist course, was it being left somewhat high and dry. Straight Left had built a considerable base in London by the end of the 1980s “by showing a willingness to take on responsibilities at a time when few candidates were to be found”.[vi] This was to be a very hollow victory indeed given that the CPGB was soon to pass into oblivion and the succession of congresses to win was coming to an end. Labour pains In terms of the Labour Party, Straight Left took thebe disappointed. The cause of the Great October Revolution is immortal. On the night of 9 November, the Berlin Wall began to collapse. The Morning Star first reported it on 11 November under the headline ‘GDR UNVEILS REFORMS PACKAGE’. Roger Trask quoted the ruling Socialist Unity Party (SED) who were putting their spin on the rapidly unfolding events (announcing 18 new crossing points): The German Democratic Republic is awakening… A revolutionary people’s movement has set in motion a process of serious upheaval… The aim is dynamically to give Socialism more democracy. Trask further reported: The party announced plans for the total reform of the electoral process onto a multi-party basis and for the establishment of the rights of assembly and press freedom. New underground and railway border crossings are also to be

investigated, said the GDR Interior Minister Friedrich Dickel. Amid scenes of wild jubilation thousandsof GDR citizens visited West Berlin for the first time in their lives – with most of them enjoying the stay but returning back later. The newspaper attempted to portray what was happening as part of a wider reform package by the SED and the Soviet Union: In Moscow leaders gave the changes a warm welcome but warned that they could not lead to a re-drawing of the boundaries of Europe. Soviet government spokesman General Gerasimov called Berlin’s action ‘a wise decision because it destroys all the stereotypes about the Iron Curtain.’ But he added, ‘East Germany has introduced a new regime on its border but the border remains.’ On page 2 of the same edition of the newspaper, theMorning Star ran an editorial titled ‘For peace and stability’. The editorial read: THE EVENTS taking place in the German Democratic Republic and the decisions being taken by the Socialist Unity Party are part of the process to bring about changes in Socialism in line with the demands and needs of the people in the modern age. Despite the propaganda being pumped out daily in the West, Socialism is not the issue in question. Any interference in the internal affairs of the Socialist countries by the Western powers in an attempt to turn in any difficulties to their advantage can only threaten peace and stability… There should be no illusions. Strong forces in the West still harbour the hope that they can exploit the current situation in the Socialist countries

are only complicating the situation. The question of the relationship between West Germany and the German Democratic Republic is for those two countries to decide on the basis of the principle of peaceful co-existence. MS on 13 Nov, 1989 As the Eastern Bloc started to unravel over the next year, the Morning Star (on paper at least) welcomed some of the reforms within Eastern Europe (such as the overthrow of the Ceausescus in Romania), but followed the SED and Soviet line until the end in December 1991. I have written more about the reaction of the British left to 1989 and the collapse of the Soviet Bloc here and about the line taken by the Morning Star at the time, I said: As would be expected, the language used in theYves Lacelle is literally picking up the pieces from the worst ice fishing season he's seen in more than 40 years. Not only did warm weather hurt ice quality and keep people from shopping at his Hawkesbury, Ont., bait shop, but when the Ottawa River ice buckled under the strain of fast-moving currents beneath the surface, it also broke many of his wharves and huts. Yvon Lacelle (right) founded and still works at the Hawkesbury bait shop that's now run by his son Éric (left). (Denis Babin/Radio-Canada) "It's not fun when something like this happens," Lacelle said Friday. "We worked a lot to build all these things and put lots of time and lots of money in, [then] everything broke." A little further east in L'Orignal, Ont., Alain Fournier said his business, which

takes people onto the river and rents them equipment, was also affected. He said his ice was good enough to fish on, but people weren't in the mood because the weather didn't seem right. "I didn't have the customers I usually have. Usually I have 48 to 52 cabins on the ice. This year I have only 14," Fournier said Friday. "It makes a big, big difference in the budget." Late start Fournier said he is usually out preparing his site between Christmas and New Year's Day. This season, he couldn't get out onto his Ottawa River bay until mid-January — and never got out onto the river itself. When he eventually ended the season two weeks ago, the ice was still thick enough to be safe, but the melt had created 15 to20 centimetres of water on top. Fournier said he lost about $7,000 this season. "I did about a third of the money I would have made in a nice winter … that's it," he said. In Ottawa, the Oziles Marina broke even on its ice fishing rentals this winter, despite similar challenges that led to weekend rentals being half what they usually are. "This was a winter of extremes," said owner Yves Grandmaitre, adding that the season four to five years ago was even worse because of rain covering the ice and keeping customers away. Summer of hope Grandmaitre said he's hopeful the warm weather will lead to an early boating season and start a summer full of recovery.

His career enjoyed a revival starting in the ‘90s and he was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, named a National Heritage Fellow, and awarded several Grammys. We’ll hear music he produced in the ‘50s in Havana with Chico O’Farrill, later albums under his own name, guest appearances he made with Albita, Gloria Estefan and Hubert Laws, and covers of his compositions by his nephew (and Buena Vista Social Club member) Cachaito, Chucho Valdes and Cal Tjader. Tuesday, September 15 Global Village celebrates the start of Hispanic Heritage Month with a

program devoted to the wide range of Latin sounds and artists that have helped shape American music. Latin jazz, soul and rock are all featured, including some of the legends of the music - among them Machito, Mongo Santamaria, Los Lobos, and Santana – plus rare sides from Joe King Carrasco, Flash & the Dynamics and more. Wednesday, September 16 Global Village celebrates Mexican Independence Day with music from Mexico – including a wide variety of regional styles, traditional and contemporary approaches, and American artists of Mexican heritage. Among the artists featured are Café Tacuba, Maldita Vecindad, Lila Downs, Los Lobos, Sones de Mexico, and Esquivel.

DUBAI (Reuters) - Air strikes by a Saudi-led coalition killed at least 22 civilians, including women and children, this week in a village in northern Yemen, the United Nations said. Medical sources quoted by the U.N. Humanitarian Coordinator in Yemen said late on Monday that the attacks in Kushar district, in Hajja Province, killed 10 women and 12 children and wounded 30 people, including 14 under the age of 18. “Many of the injured children have been sent to hospitals in Abs district and in Sanaa for treatment and several require possible evacuation to survive,” the U.N. Coordinator in the country, Lise Grande, said in a statement. Tens of thousands of people have died in a four-year war that pits the Iran-aligned Houthi movement against Yemen’s Saudi-backed government. Rights groups and theUnited Nations have criticized the Saudi-led and Western-backed coalition for air strikes that have often hit civilians, although the alliance denies doing so intentionally. A coalition spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for a comment, but Saudi-owned Al Arabiya TV said the Houthis were behind the attack. Kushar had seen sporadic clashes in recent weeks apparently caused by shifting loyalties of local tribes in the complex war. A U.N. statement said on Tuesday that clashes broke out between the Houthis and the Hajour tribesmen in late January and fighting intensified in March with the start of air strikes. The International Crisis Group said in a note this week that the Houthis accuse the Hajour tribesmen of accepting arms and support from Saudi Arabia. The Sunni Muslim alliance led by Saudi

Arabia and the United Arab Emirates intervened in Yemen’s war in 2015 on the side of the internationally recognized government of Abdu-Rabbu Mansour Hadi which was ousted from power in the capital Sanaa in 2014. The Houthis, who say their revolution is against corruption, control Sanaa and most urban centers. Hadi’s government is based in the southern port of Aden and holds some coastal towns. The war has displaced more than two million and driven the impoverished Arabian Peninsula country to the verge of famine. Western nations, many of which supply arms and intelligence to the coalition, have pressed for an end to the conflict, largely seen in the region as a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran.One is an A-lister, the other a surfer-turned-ITV2 reality contestant.

He relies on his length to make catches over safeties who are running with him. He is a mismatch-driven player who doesn't make a lot happen on his own when working against fast linebackers, but he runs decent routes and is deceptively shifty with the ball after the catch. Weaknesses Peterson doesn't make many plays happen for himself. He has to rely on mismatches and schemes drawn up by coaches to be put in a position to make plays.

very least enhance the view that talking of a "moment" when life begins is a tenuous. From a 2018 journal editorial serving as a mini-review: Syngamy has become an acceptable sentinel for the beginning of life. Nearly a century ago, a generation of cell and developmental biologists laid down the groundwork for the biology of fertilization in EB Wilson’s treatise of 1925. Compiled, congealed, and constitutional in nature, tales of syngamy based on the tools of cytology recognized the importance of that special moment in the life history of all sexually reproducing metazoans. That nuptial encounter between the genomes of mom and dad, with the subsequent and equivalent segregation of maternal and paternal chromosomes on a mitotic spindle, has become a building block for our understanding of how embryoDismay and despair as 'dogs of the sea' threaten fishing livelihoods in Tasmania Updated Relocated seals are proving a big problem for fishing community in north-west Tasmania. More than 2,000 seals were caught near Tasmania's southern salmon farms last financial year and taken by road 400 kilometres away for release in the north west. Far from cute "dogs of the sea", locals say the relocated seals are harassing fishing vessels, destroying nets, attacking birds, killing penguins and stealing catches. The seals would usually take at least four days to return south. But now, frustrated locals say the seals have begun to stay. When Craig Garland talks about seals, tears well in his eyes.

House of Representatives Speech- Mr Gareth Clayton I rise today to speak about Gareth Clayton, a predecessor of mine as the federal member for Isaacs, who tragically passed away on 1 July in Bangkok, Thailand, following a road accident. Gareth was born in Hampshire, England, in 1942 and studied at Liverpool University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science. He also obtained a Diploma of Education from Makerere University in Uganda. Gareth then came to Australia where he worked as a teacher before becoming a scientific officer for the Australian Road Research Board. In 1974 at the double dissolution election that saw Gough Whitlam win a second term as Prime Minister, Gareth won the seat of Isaacs for Labor from the Liberal, David Hamer. I rise today to speakabout Gareth Clayton, a predecessor of mine as the federal member for Isaacs, who tragically passed away on 1 July in Bangkok, Thailand, following a road accident. Gareth was born in Hampshire, England, in 1942 and studied at Liverpool University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Science. He also obtained a Diploma of Education from Makerere University in Uganda. Gareth then came to Australia where he worked as a teacher before becoming a scientific officer for the Australian Road Research Board. In 1974 at the double dissolution election that saw Gough Whitlam win a second term as Prime Minister, Gareth won the seat of Isaacs for Labor from the Liberal, David Hamer. It is worth noting that at that election Labor lost five seats and Isaacs was

one of only two seats that Labor won from the opposition. Gareth was an active local Labor member. ALP branch meetings at the time were held at his home in Chelsea. Bob Corcoran, a very long-serving local ALP branch member, remembers Gareth as someone who did not feel bound by convention, which included once turning up in the chamber in a red jumper rather than the obligatory suit. Gareth held his seat for only one term, losing it to David Hamer in the 1975 election that followed the disgraceful dismissal of the Whitlam government. His maiden speech in this place had three areas of focus: equality for women, fairness for Indigenous Australians and care for the environment. I am proud to share these long-held Labor values with Gareth andI think that there would be few members of this parliament now who would disagree with his sentiments. Back in 1974, however, these were not universally agreed positions. After serving in parliament, Gareth went on to have a very strong academic career, including more than a decade in Thailand as a special lecturer in statistics at King Mongkut’s University of Technology in North Bangkok. Gareth’s commitment to public life extended to being a regular contributor to the Thai publication The Nation, where he wrote on a range of matters, including education in Thailand, the ongoing religious conflict in the south of the country and the recent heated protests in Bangkok. Having read some of the 40 pages of online tributes his students left following his passing, it is

clear to see that in his post-parliamentary career Gareth was a dedicated, caring and much loved academic. His legacy will live on through the many students he taught both in Australia and in Thailand. I paid my condolences to his loved ones, his family, his friends and those in my local community who knew Gareth from his time as the member for Isaacs.Electrophotographic image forming apparatuses such as a copier, a printer and a facsimile have been known. These image forming apparatuses form an electrostatic latent image on a surface of a photoreceptor, develop this electrostatic latent image with toner, and transfer and fix the obtained toner image onto a recording medium such as a sheet of paper. The toner used for developing the electrostatic latent image is supplied from a toner cartridge to a developing device via a toner conveyance path and supplied from the developing device to the surface of the photoreceptor. In a configuration where the toner cartridge is provided above the developing device, a toner conveyance path that extends vertically is provided. As to a configuration for conveying toner supplied from a toner cartridge to a developing device,

for example, a toner replenishment device described in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2012-198368 is provided with a toner receiving port, a feed portion for feeding toner from the toner receiving port into the device, a toner detector for detecting that the device has been filled with a specified amount of the toner, an agitating member that rotates to agitate the toner in the device, a rotational angle detector for detecting a rotational angle of the agitating member, and a recognition portion for recognizing the rotational angle of the agitating member based on output from the rotational angle detector. The toner is fed to the feed portion, when a position of an end edge of an agitating blade included in the agitating member is within a predetermined rangenot blocking a flow path of the toner from the toner receiving port to the toner detector based on the recognition by the recognition portion. This causes the replenished toner to reach a detector without being blocked by the agitating member, and it is possible to detect quickly and correctly that the toner has been replenished so as to reach a specified amount. The toner conveyance path that extends vertically is configured as, for example, a conveyance pipe in a pipe shape, and the toner supplied from the toner cartridge passes through the inside of the conveyance pipe in a downward direction and is supplied to the developing device. In this case, the toner is packed inside the conveyance pipe and the conveyance pipe is blocked to impair a

conveyance function. For example, in recent years, with improvement in image quality of an image forming apparatus, a particle size of the toner has become finer consequently. Generally, the fine toner has worse fluidity, and the toner is packed more easily in a toner conveyance path of a toner conveyance device. The toner replenishment device of Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2012-198368 is configured as an intermediate hopper for replenishing the toner supplied from the toner cartridge to the developing device, and is provided with the agitating member to agitate the toner for agitating, but the toner is packed in some cases only with the configuration of the agitating member, and a configuration for suppressing packing of the toner effectively is required. Moreover, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2012-198368result. One of the actions described by respondents in last year’s survey included “expressed my disbelief.” Only six individuals who saw the ads said they went to the EAP website, a relatively low uptake that has been consistent over four years. The very first Economic Action Plan television ads in early 2009 were recalled by 45 per cent of those later polled by Ipsos-Reid, the highest level in the eight polls. The percentage for recall of the TV ads has since been in decline, hitting about 33 per cent in the spring of 2012, the last published poll. And a Privy Council Office analysis of the 2012 numbers shows that when people were quizzed about the actual content of the TV ads, only 20 per cent could describe them in any detail.

The city of Palu, on the other hand, 78 km (48 miles) away, suffered heavy casualties, with hotels, shopping malls and countless houses destroyed in the quake and by a tsunami that scoured

the city’s oceanfront shortly after. Soil liquefaction, a phenomenon that turns the ground into a roiling quagmire, also killed many hundreds of people in and around Palu. But that did not happen near the epicenter of the quake and, even though many villagers ran up into the hills rising to the east of the coastline, tsunami waves did not crash into the small fishing communities and pretty beaches. The quake brought down power lines and communications networks and more than half the houses in Sirenja district were destroyed. Those left standing were so battered they were “not fit for use”, Lakuaci said. Most would have to torn down and rebuilt, he said. People have survived the past week by searching for food in fields and orchards and scavenging in the forested hills. Thousands ofA glitch in Google's system meant that for a short time when users searched for "NBA founder" LaVar Ball came up. Google search For a short time Tuesday morning, Google searches for the term "NBA founder" returned LaVar Ball as the answer. "Clearly we dropped the ball," a Google spokesperson told ESPN. "We're taking a timeout to huddle around the issue and expect to rebound soon." When coming up with a description for a person who is searched, Google's algorithm accounts for a variety of web pages, a source familiar with the workings of the company's process said. It's not exactly clear how Ball, the father of Lonzo, LiAngelo and LaMelo and creator of the Big Baller Brand, ever became the man who started the National Basketball Association, according to the

search engine. Once word spread around social media, Google's short bio of Ball was changed to "media personality." No one person is given credit for starting the NBA. Lawyer Maurice Podoloff was the first commissioner (1946 to 1949), and Syracuse Nationals owner Danny Biasone helped popularize the game with the invention of the 24-second shot clock in 1954. LaVar Ball was born 13 years later in 1967. LiAngelo and LaMelo Ball are set to make their pro basketball debut later this week for a team in Lithuania. Lonzo plays for the Lakers. Last month, LaVar Ball announced he was starting a basketball league in which top high school players could play after their senior year before being allowed to be drafted by NBA teams.

Charles Julian, 69, claims he intentionally was given low performance evaluations to foil his goal of becoming Houston's first black fire chief. He was hired by the Houston Fire Department in 1968 and worked up the ranks to become a district chief in 1984. Since 1989, he's been unsuccessfully applying for higher-level positions. "He keeps on complaining and filing lawsuits and winning and then they keep on demoting him and denying him jobs," Julian's lawyer, Peter Costea, said. "Since 1984, he hasn't been able to break that glass

ceiling. When you see other guys who have less experience, less knowledge and less years being promoted, that leaves a bitter taste in his mouth." Julian first sued in 1999, when he was 56, claiming that a former fire chief deemed him too old to promote. A federal jury determined that the city had discriminated based on age and awarded him $109,222. The city lost its appeal. A subsequent settlement included Julian's promotion in 2003 to assistant chief, one step below the top job. The amended final judgment in the case, signed by a federal district judge in 2005, included $213,656 in front and back pay as well as more than $65,000 in attorney's fees. 2006 lawsuit After Phil Boriskie was appointed Houston fire chief in 2004 by then-new Mayor BillWhite, Julian was demoted. (HFD chiefs have discretion in choosing assistant chiefs.) Julian sued again in 2006, claiming that he received the lowest performance ratings of his career after the demotion in retaliation for his previous lawsuit and that those marks negatively impacted his career advancement. In 2008, a federal magistrate judge awarded Julian almost $140,000. That amount included lost pay that would have been earned in a higher position as well as attorney's fees. The newest legal action, filed in Harris County civil court against the city of Houston, alleges that Julian's known aspiration to lead HFD was thwarted deliberately in retaliation for both lawsuits. "Good ratings of performance evaluations are one of the most important criteria to be selected as fire chief," the lawsuit says, adding that Julian's low

here, Charlie. Go wave your sign." Sunday, July 11, 2010 She's here! She's finally here! My cousin GorgeousGirl just moved in with us. We have been waiting a long time for this, and the whole family is excited. AND she brought her adorable Yorkie, Ajax. We have a strange family dynamic going on with succeeding generations. It all started with me being born when my Aunt Risky (her mom) was 16. GorgeousGirl was born when I was 16, and then Jake was born when she was 16. Weird, isn't it? I was so excited when she was born, my very first cousin! I'd waited a long time for one. Aunt Risky worked part time, so on Friday's, we got GorgeousGirl. It was so neat for me, who grew up playing with dollsme. An expert with nail polish at the age of seven, she gave great “manicures”. She would style my hair, and put eye-shadow on me. But as she got older and moved in with her dad instead of Aunt Risky, we rather lost touch for many years. It wasn't until she was an adult that we reconnected. Joyously. We began the yearly or so visits again, and of course, she came for a visit at age 16 when Jake was born. That's tradition. My kids adore her. She's to them what my Aunt Risky was to me – the daring one. The one who lets Jake drive her jeep up and down the Briarpatch driveway. The one who takes them out on the jet ski. Who takes them snowboarding.

Who'll go to the pool with them the third time in one day when all the rest of the adults are tired from skiing and just want to sit in front of the condo fire with a glass of wine. She's infinitely patient with them, and truly seems to enjoy them instead of “just giving you a break from them”. It was probably five years ago that we light heartedly began talking about her moving in with us. It started with the fact that our guest bedroom is quite pink, which is her favorite color. But there was either a boyfriend, or her horse, or something else keeping her in MD. This spring she was at a training conference for her job and met some CO counterparts. (The cosmeticcompany – yeah, that's what she does, grand right? - has stores all over the country.) She visited them when she was here for one of our snowboarding vacations and the idea just seemed to take root. Before long she had her transfer, started packing, and planning the move. On Thursday, she arrived with her jeep, her dog, and a trailer worth of belongings. Most of them equipment for the outdoor sports she loves so much, and CO can so easily accommodate. She's part of our family in a more personal way now. And she's does my eyebrows. What more can a girl want?

Next winter, he will be up against star third basemen like Manny Machado and Josh Donaldson, but unlike them, he cannot be given a Qualifying Offer, and thus teams will not have to forfeit a draft pick to sign him.

London clearly loomed large in writer J.K. Rowling's imagination when she came up with the whole Wizarding World. Even as Rowling wrote the first novel in the Scottish city of Edinburgh, her thoughts stayed in the capital, where she had once lived. She chose a London station, King's Cross, for the location of Platform 9 and ¾, the starting point for the Hogwarts Express, which takes young Harry Potter — and the readers — out of ordinary Muggle life, and into the Wizarding World. Rowling used lots of real-life London places as inspiration for locations in the books. Want to follow in her footsteps, and see London through the eyes of Harry, Hermione, and Ron? Platform 9 and ¾, King’s Cross Station This is where it all begins. Platform 9 andin no time. The walk from the station to Great Scotland Yard is full of Potterific delights. Harry and Mr. Weasley walked along Horseguards Parade and Scotland Place as they made their way to the Ministry of Magic for Harry's hearing on charges of using magic in front of Muggles in The Order of the Phoenix. Gringotts Wizarding Bank The Strand is your next stop, for a look at the Australian High Commision, aka Gringotts Wizarding Bank. It’s the second safest place in the Wizarding World, after Hogwarts, according to Hagrid, and indeed, the Philosopher’s Stone is stowed safely in a vault. Harry, Hermione, and Ron broke into the bank in 1998 to find a horcrux. Their actions led to the building being left in ruins. Thankfully, the Australian High

Commission is still standing proud — but they definitely don't provide half-blind dragons for you to get home on. Diagon Alley It's a busy shopping street completely unseen by Muggles and accessed by tapping a special brick in the wall of The Leaky Cauldron pub three times. In reality, Godwin's Court off St Martin's Lane is an alley of 17th-century houses and bow window shop fronts. Wander down this turning off the busy Charing Cross Road, and it's easy to imagine J. K. Rowling doing the same, imagining her characters peering in the shop windows as their parents bought school supplies. Borough Market The Leaky Cauldron is meant to be the entrance to Diagon Alley, but has in fact been filmed in two different locations: Leadenhall Market (first film only) and BoroughMarket (all the rest). Borough Market is a good pit-stop on your way to the river for the rest of this road trip — and it's filled with stalls that give out free food samples too. A flower shop named Chez Michele that sit underneath a railway arch on the edge of the market serves as the entrance to the magical pub. Azkaban Prison Getting closer to the River Thames, here's the inspiration for the Azkaban prison. Back in medieval times, this area was where people went to have fun, in the gambling dens, bull and bear baiting pits and the brothels. Unsurprisingly, the crime rate rocketed and a prison was set up, probably in the 12th century, and it eventually burned down in 1780. Rowling popped her version of

the prison on an island in the North Sea, and characters who've spent time inside include: Sirius Black, Bellatrix and Rodolphus Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, Rubeus Hagrid, and Dolores Umbridge. Golden Hind Galleon Ship Welcome to the inspiration for the Durmstrang Ship in Goblet of Fire, which brought Durmstrang Institute students to Hogwart for the 1994 Triwizard Tournament. During their stay at Hogwarts, the ship was anchored in the Black Lake in front of Hogwarts Castle, with the students and their headmaster sleeping aboard every night. The Golden Hind was captained by Sir Francis Drake, and circumnavigated the world from 1577b to 1580. This is a full-sized reconstruction, containing pieces of the original and ready to sail the high seas at any given moment. House of MinaLima This gorgeous gallery and store isdid attempt to predict the potential pitfalls of their atomic bomb. In a report codenamed LA-602, these human scientists admitted that there was a real chance that their atomic bomb might ignite the atmosphere of their home planet, destroying all life in the process. Nonetheless, the humans flipped the switch and watched as a mighty power was unleashed. The humans were lucky, dodging the existential threat of an atmospheric nuclear reaction, and with more luck still, dodging the threat of nuclear war between increasingly powerful nation states. Indeed, the humans managed to survive their nuclear age, but their minds pushed ever forwards, feeling for new boundaries between discovery and catastrophe. They invented huge particle accelerators to smash tiny bits of matter in order to look at yet tinier bits of

On 9th November, 2016, a documentary was broadcast which scrutinised adoption practices during the three decades following the Second World War. Called Britain’s Adoption Scandal – Breaking the Silence, it featured a number of women who bravely told their stories on camera, revealing the harsh treatment endured by young, unmarried mothers during these decades. The documentary was made by Ronachan Films. It took over year to make and involved painstaking research and the interviewing of many involved or affected by the practices of that time. The documentary was commissioned by Tom Giles of ITV, after he read the letter in the Times, sent by MAA and signed by numerous high profile supporters. Tom wanted to know more about this forgotten part of our recent history.though he did not specifically describe the provenance of each portion of his testimony, it avowedly embodied basic principles taught in undergraduate economics courses, which indicates the theories he expounded are generally accepted in the field of economics. (See id. at 125.) Indeed, McAfee's credentials rendered him supremely well-qualified to testify on generally-accepted economic principles: he holds a Ph.D. and has taught at Purdue University, the University of Western Ontario, the University of Texas, and the California Institute of Technology, where he currently heads the economics department. (Id. at 50-51.) In light of these circumstances, the Court finds McAfee's testimony was reliable, as required by Daubert and Rule 702.[47] Because McAfee's testimony as a "teaching witness" satisfied both Rule 702's criteria and Daubert's reliability and relevancy requirements, its admission
