"The Ikhwan must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions," it states.

The Nigerian man suspected of trying to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day told investigators after his arrest that close to 20 other young Muslim men were being trained in Yemen to blow up airliners, CBS News reports. Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's claim that others were being prepared to use the same technique on jets reportedly was confirmed by British intelligence.

The episode in Yemen prompted a preliminary inquiry by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other American law enforcement agencies into whether the man, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, had ties to extremist groups, the officials said.

SANAA, YEMEN -- When he served in the Afghan mountains as Osama bin Laden's personal bodyguard, Nasser al-Bahri said, he was known as "The Killer." Today, Bahri is a business consultant in Yemen who favors Western-style pinstriped shirts, crisp slacks and black loafers. But his ideas are still radical: Ask him whether jihadists should kill Americans on U.S. soil and he replies without hesitation, "America is a legitimate target." Atleast a dozen former Guantánamo Bay inmates have rejoined al-Qaeda to fight in Yemen, The Times has learnt, amid growing concern over the ability of the country’s Government to accept almost 100 more former inmates from the detention centre. The Obama Administration promised to close the Guantánamo facility by January 22, a deadline that it will be unable to meet.

Then, after six weeks in and out of class, the school got him an exit visa, and on Sept. 21 even arranged for a car that took Mr. Abdulmutallab to the airport, the director said. “After that we never saw him again, and apparently he did not leave Yemen,” the director,...

This article describes the experience and knowledge gained by the author during an extensive study tour of the majority of aviation medicine centres in the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States in 1942. The emphasis is upon the human element rather than the technical, and the contribution of thousands of scientists from medical, psychological, and allied disciplines whose dedication was vital to air supremacy. This required a symbiosis between them and aircraft engineers and, inter alia, courageous participation in operational missions or dangerous experiments. The price was, on occasion, tragedy. Individual instances are described, as are visits to operational air force squadrons. The tour concluded with a return to South Africa and the establishment

As the details of the Tories’ deal with the DUP comes out, this sort of policy and rhetoric is going to become increasingly unpalatable to the public. The message from May is clear: there’s no money to ease the suffering of people going to food banks or losing their homes but plenty to keep herself and her party in power.

All the signs are of a gifted writer aiming higher than the formulaic mystery novel. In fact, the mystery, such as it is, of a supposed treasure hidden away in the ruins of war, is secondary to the conflict between good and evil — the latter personified by Jack Havoc, a vicious street fighter ever ready to put the knife or the boot in to get what he wants. In pursuing him to his end, Albert Campion, Allingham’s recurring hero, takes a leading role. But this is no longer Campion as the upper-class twit whose goofy looks

Carola Dunn (Constable £7.99) Strict feminists may not like the title. How can there be too many women? But the phrase, though derogatory, is based on historical truth: the plight of young women who lost their chance of marriage and family in the slaughter of the Great War. Daisy Dalrymple is one of the lucky ones, happily married to a senior Scotland Yard detective who tolerates her insatiable curiosity and her compulsion to involve herself in police affairs.

Despite growing scientific evidence that global warming will have serious impacts worldwide, public opinion is moving in the opposite direction. Over the past year the United States has experienced rising unemployment, public frustration with Washington and a divisive health care debate, largely pushing climate change out of the news. Meanwhile, a set of emails stolen from climate scientists and used by critics to allege scientific misconduct may have contributed to an erosion of public trust in climate science. It is also clear that public understanding of climate change fundamentals – that it is happening, is human caused, and will have serious consequences for human societies and natural ecosystems here in the United States and around the world – is heading in the

A 14-year-old came out of the house at the 2187 address and identified himself as Defendant’s nephew. He volunteered that Defendant had moved to the 2225 address to live with his girlfriend. He then identified Defendant’s car, parked in the 2225 parking lot. That information was corroborated by the registration of the car in two ways: (1) as belonging to Defendant and (2) as having been registered by Defendant with the home address of apartment A of the 2225 address.

Food & Drink Service Atmosphere Value Paul A Stunningly good 01 February 2018 It is still a mystery how Casamia has still got just a single Michelin star, which makes it appear to be on the same level as some inferior pubs that we have eaten in and certainly one other restaurant in Bristol when it is clearly in another class. The first thing the diner will remark on is the relaxed nature of the dining experience, with every diner feeling like an old friend and being shown the kitchen in close-up, the chefs serving the dishes and describing them in great detail, and front of house staff not only willing to discuss all aspects of the meal but clearly able to do so since they

with the chefs bringing up the various dishes, and front of house, to listen to and discuss things with the punters. Once again stunning dish followed stunning dish, right from the snacks, 3-year aged Parmesan mousse in a light bric tartlet with cheese sprinkles, deep-sea carabineros prawns on a seaweed meringue which gave up a sweet seafood aftertaste, and a smoking sandwich of venison tartare with cavolo nero and horseradish cream, to the petits fours, a superlight and delicious mix of damson and bay leaf Turkish delight, and a clever porcini mushroom fudge, which could almost double as a canapé. Interposed between these delights was a succession of delicately complex taste, texture and visual wonders, some merely brilliant and others simply world-class. The combination of yoghurt sorbet, pickledof slightly crispy seaweed. Two versions of mackerel followed, one a tartare, the other warm, the first strikingly red pepper coloured and the accompanying szechuan pepper, sesame oil, soy sauce and crème fraîche accentuating the freshness of the fish, the second showing how to make an exemplary bisque with the mackerel and prawns, again red pepper, this time barbecued but in no way dominating the delicate fish. We wondered whether the squid carbonara with its chorizo bits and a terrific cheesy sauce might have been inspired by Pierre Koffmann it was that good, and the next dish, heritage Isle of Wight tomatoes bringing together a real variety of different tastes in the raw, grilled, compressed, jelly and seed state and with mozzarella and basil in true Italian style

Having seen the photos of the interior of the new premises on social media, we were pleasantly surprised to find that they were rather unflattering, and we judged the interesting layout to be quite warm, especially with most tables enjoying a good view of the open kitchen, and blissfully free from muzak. Front-of-house staff proved to be courteously friendly, and the excellent sommelier, Ramón, expertly guided us through the singular wine flight accompanying the menu and, in the surprising absence of any Cava, started us off with with an attractive fizz from Seville made from a grape which was completely new to us. Another novelty, at least in the UK, was the dishes being brought to table and detailed by the chefs themselves, something we had onlypreviously experienced in a top-class restaurant in Belgium with some other similarities, namely in the kind of imaginative food on offer and the serving sequence. The lovely hors d’oeuvres of broccoli cream on a Colston Bassett base, romanesco cauliflower with 3-year old parmesan and Jerusalem artichoke and truffle heralded the clever combination of hen’s egg mousse, cardamom foam and confit duck making up the amuse-bouche. The melding of ingredients in perfect balance with each other to produce impressive end results turned out to be a major feature of our enjoyment of the meal as a whole. We then moved on to a stunning seaside dish with a difference, shredded white crabmeat with inoki mushrooms and dashi jelly topped with a seaweed salad, the mushroom theme being continued in

It stars Sadiq Daba, Kayode Olaiya, David Bailie, Kehinde Bankole, Kanayo O. Kanayo, Fabian Adeoye Lojede, Nick Rhys, Kunle Afolayan, Femi Adebayo, Bimbo Manuel, Ibrahim Chatta and introducing Demola Adedoyin; it also features special appearance from Deola Sagoe. The film, which is set in Colonial Nigeria, narrates the story of Danladi Waziri (Sadiq Daba), a police officer from Northern Nigeria who is posted to a remote town of Akote in Western Nigeria to investigate the frequent female murder cases in the community, and have the mystery solved before the Nigerian flag is raised on October 1, Nigeria’s Independence Day. The lead character of the film, Dan Waziri, particularly

posed a challenge during casting, as the director had a particular look he wants for the character; Daba was eventually selected for the role after a series of research, and thereby marked his return to the big screen after over a 10-year absence from the industry. The film received sponsorships from the Lagos State Government, Toyota Nigeria, Elizade Motors, Guinness and Sovereign Trust Insurance. It was shot in Lagos and Ondo State for a period of over forty days using RED cameras,[5] after four months of preproduction. Production design for the film was done by Pat Nebo, who has also worked with Afolayan in his previous film projects; he and his team made almost half of the props used in the film, while the other props such astelevision sets from the ’50s, shotguns and antique vehicles, were acquired and refurbished for the film. Golden Effects also partnered with Haute Couture to provide primordial costumes used in the film. After several release postponements, the film had a number of special screenings and eventually premiered on 28 September 2014; its premiere which was tagged “’60s”, required guests to dress in native costumes and hairstyles from the 1960s. The premiere also provided tours of sets, and also displayed the props and costumes used in the film. The film was met with positive critical reception, mostly praised for its production design, cinematography and its exploration of powerful themes; which include tribalism, western imperialism, paedophilia, homosexuality, Nigeria’s unification and also establishing a strong connection between western culture and the cause of

Richard Spencer, a high-profile white nationalist, was a frequent visitor to his mother Sherry’s vacation home in Whitefish. This is the same Richard Spencer who was caught on video giving the Nazi salute and yelling “Heil Trump” to a post-election crowd in Washington, DC. As you might imagine, this did not sit well with some of the Montana town’s residents, especially when the Spencer video went viral. There was talk that Sherry was a direct participant of white nationalist activities. A protest was planned. Sherry contacted Tanya Gersch, a realtor, to help sell her property.

After getting the Malaysian women team disqualified last year, this year women Kabaddi team of England is once again in a complaint mode. This time, the team has complained against Pakistan's women players. It has asked for a medical check-up, alleging that three players in Pakistan's women team were transgenders. Ashok Das, coach of England's kabaddi team, said: "We complained to the sports department on December 7 -- when we played our first match with Pakistan in Jalalabad. However, no one listened to our complaint. Once the government has organised an international-level tournament, they must raise their standards to such level and the complaint must be acted upon without delay." Director, Sports, Shivdular Singh Dhillon, however, said: "The England team never gave us the names of the players about whomsecond in the tournament, was disqualified and Denmark was given the second prize while our team was judged third." This is the third year of women's kabaddi tournament. In the first year, England team was runner-up and last year they finished third after the inquiry.

"When we first started working with some of these types of compounds no one believed something as simple as a plum could actually be a medicine," Professor Lindsay Brown, from the University of Southern Queensland in Toowoomba, said.

"That's not good." I drew my zanpakutô, and jumped in, attacking the tendrils from behind, drawing attention from Drake and renering them almost useless.

ball, the visitors got behind our backline on several occasions. Then came the hammer blow, a Southampton goal. The most worrying thing was the simplicity with which they breached the Spurs rearguard. The Southampton keeper launched a goal kick down-field, Naughton came forward to clear but he misjudged the bounce. The ball sailed over his head to Rodriguez. Through on goal, he took one touch to set himself, before clinically placing the ball into the corner of the net. Naughton held his head in his hands. Little did he know, his day was about to get even worse. The second came just minutes later. The ball was flicked over the Tottenham defence but Naughton was on hand to cover. Rather than clear the ball, he stabbed it ineffectually straight tothe waiting Lambert, who showed some nice footwork to put Lallana clear. He calmly slotted the ball under the onrushing Lloris. With only half an hour played, it felt like the knock-out blow. Then, as in the comeback against Dnipro, Christian Eriksen dragged us back into the match. After good work on the right by Chadli, Naughton swung in a cross. The ball cleared Soldado, and Eriksen was on hand to drill home from close range. Eriksen had a fantastic game, he seemed to be everywhere and involved in everything. The sort of individual performance that makes you excited for the future. Not since Bale, has a Spurs’ player demonstrated such ability to turn a game, and if anything Eriksen could be more valuable. Bale’s performances were always very individual

in nature, clearly separate from the prosaic nature of the rest of the squad. The Dane is more inclusive – he doesn’t play well in spite of the team, he makes the team play well. On this occasion Soldado ably assisted him; no goal but plenty of nice touches and clever passes. Just after the break the two combined for the equaliser. The Spaniard won a tussle on the right and pulled the ball across goal for Eriksen to tap home. The excitement in the ground was tangible. Surely now we must find a winner. There was a tense wait, but finally it came, deep into injury time. Eriksen was inevitably involved again. This time he tapped a pass across to Sigurdsson, who powered the ball from distance into thein both physician groups, but the limited sleep duration in general still implies a long-term health concern.

Here, Zimmerman arrives in court in Sanford, Fla. on July 11, 2013. (Gary W. Green/Reuters) Related Stories The jury in the George Zimmerman trial was given the option Thursday of convicting the former neighborhood watch captain on the lesser charge of manslaughter in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. Because of the judge's ruling, the six jurors now have three options when they start deliberations as early as Friday: Guilty of second-degree murder, guilty of manslaughter and not guilty. To win a second-degree murder conviction, prosecutors must prove Zimmerman showed ill will, hatred

abuse?" West said. "This is outrageous. It's outrageous the state would seek to do this at this time." Question of proving intent Judge Debra Nelson denied the third-degree murder instruction, saying she was exercising caution since she was unsure if prosecutors could prove intent. The judge, however, agreed with the prosecution that jurors could consider manslaughter as a lesser charge. West said he wanted the six jurors to only consider the second-degree murder charge or not guilty. "The state has charged him with second degree murder. They should be required to prove it," West said. Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder. On the night of the fatal scuffle in February 2012, Martin was visiting his father and his father's fiancee at the same townhome complex where Zimmerman lived. Zimmerman observed Martin while drivingin his neighbourhood, called police and the fight ensued after the neighbourhood watch volunteer got out of his vehicle. Zimmerman claims Martin was slamming his head into the concrete pavement when he fired his gun. Some civil rights activists argued that a delay in charging Zimmerman was influenced by Martin's race, and protests were held around the nation in the 44 days between the fatal fight and Zimmerman's arrest. Martin was black and Zimmerman identifies himself as Hispanic.

Tuesday, October 28, 2008 "Snow, north." According to the old farmer's almanac...that's what's predicted for this week. On the other hand, the weather forecast locally keeps indicating that Sunday is my best day for finishing up with the various tucking in and stabilizing of the cold-frame over at the old garden plot. Happily I scored some plexiglass from the junk pile so I can secure some of the drafts. Still, what with reports from the Vermont and Maine contingents, snow is indeed happening, north. Frost is happening south and west. I guess we're in for it shortly. I could really do with a little more October, though - crispy leaves, bright reds, yellows, oranges, and shades of purple and pink as well in the leaves.

Colt Z40 Pistol #1 The Colt Z40 was a collaboration between Colt and the then-relatively-unknown CZ firm. Colt was coming off two remarkably unsuccessful pistol launches in the early 1990s (the Double Eagle and the All American 2000), and needed something to offer in the duty pistol market. They arranged to sell a pistol made by CZ with a 1911-style grip combined with the excellent CZ-75 upper assembly and lockwork. The guns were chambered for .40 S&W because the recent 1994 Assault Weapons Ban had limited new production magazines to 10 rounds. However, after only 800 had been sold, Colt backed out of the deal and dropped the Z40 from its catalog. Why? Because they had happened to use a Z40 as the base gun for a model "smart gun",and the public reaction was overwhelmingly negative. In the aftermath, Colt management threw out the Z40 as the proverbial baby in the bathwater, simply because it had been tarnished by the PR of the smart gun debacle. CZ, for its part, made a few tweaks to the design (primarily replacing the DA-only lockwork with the DA/SA system for the CZ-75) and released it on their own as the CZ-40.

Body of Ambassador Used in 'Obscene' Ad By Gay Republicans A print advertisement paid for by the Broward County chapter of the Log Cabin Republicans includes the body of the U.S. ambassador to Libya who was killed in what has lately been called a terrorist attack. The ad was reported on by Bilerico Project and printed in an LGBT newspaper called the Florida Agenda. It attacks President Obama as unable to protect Americans. "If the Obama Administration isn't going to protect Gay/Gay-friendly American citizens from the terror of Islamic radicalism," the ad asks, "what makes you think they will protect us from Shariah Law… ANYWHERE?" The leaders of the national Log Cabin Republicans have already condemned the chapter's inclusion of Christopher Stevens' body in the attack ad as "obscene." "We reject itcompletely," wrote executive director R. Clarke Cooper in a letter to the newspaper's editor in which he described himself as "deeply embarrassed" by it. It has never been confirmed whether Stevens is still alive in the photo, though he is unconscious. And several newspapers were criticized for including it in reports after the attack. The advertisement implies Stevens was gay, which is an unsubstantiated rumor being circulated by the same oddball blog that claims President Obama is secretly gay. The Advocate contacted the State Department about the rumor some time ago and a spokesman opted against commenting on "the ambassador's personal life." Cooper swatted down the idea that the attack on the consulate was related to Stevens' sexual orientation — a notion put forward in the ad. "To suggest that the Al-Qaeda

in the Islamic Maghreb attack on the US consular mission in Benghazi was connected to homophobia is just as ridiculous as US Ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, claiming the attack in Benghazi was prompted by a film critical of Mohammed," Clarke wrote. "Violence against the LGBT community is a challenge to civil society throughout the world, and America is a beacon for freedom for all minority voices. There are plenty of reasons to vote Republican to protect US interests and human rights abroad, but the obscene ad in this publication is fallacious, grossly inappropriate and irresponsible." The National Stonewall Democrats countered with a comment calling the ad "shameless and callous," and they called on the local chapter to retract the ad an issue an apology.

One end of the lead, generally called the proximal end of the lead, is attached to a source of electrical pulses, while the other end of the lead which is within the epidural space and is generally called the distal end of the lead, includes an exposed electrode by which the electrical stimulation is applied to the spinal cord.

After serving in the U.S. Navy Civil Engineer Corps., he earned a graduate degree at Purdue University where he met his wife Mary. Over a 35 year business career, Stuart held executive positions with several national corporations, and Aerovox in New Bedford, prior to founding Richardson Associates. Stuart, Mary, and their three children moved to Marion in 1979, and hequickly became involved in the community. He was an active member of St. Gabriel’s Episcopal Church, serving two terms on the Vestry, one as Junior Warden. He also chaired the Stewardship Campaign and was a lector and chalice bearer. As a volunteer for the United Way of Greater New Bedford, Stuart chaired two annual campaigns, then served as Board Chair and later as an honorary board member. He was Chairman of the Marion Housing Committee for six years and developed the Affordable Housing Plan for the Town of Marion. For over thirty years, Stuart was a strong supporter of the Baptist Haiti Mission, sponsoring three children annually. He loved his community and worked hard to serve it well.

I like to battle for pucks and finish my checks and just play an all-around two-way game. I think my hockey sense is a big trait of mine but so is my compete level.” Andrew Cassels played three seasons for the Canucks from 1999-2002. It was just a portion of his six-team, 15-year career in which he collected 204 goals and 528 assists. Cole, born in Hartford in 1995, was the Canucks’ third-round pick (85th overall) in last June’s NHL entry draft. He was just a pipsqueak when Andrew played for the Canucks but he was able to recall Saturday some moments of his life in Vancouver. “I went to Cypress Park school, I think, in West Van,” he said. “Mostly I just remember going to

the rink, going on the ice after practice and stuff, and watching my dad play all the time.” Cole Cassels and his fellow Canuck prospects have a win and a loss at the Young Stars tournament here and they’ll return to game action Sunday in a 2 p.m. matinee against the Edmonton Oiler rookies. Some of the Canuck prospects will be promoted to Vancouver’s main camp that begins Wednesday at Rogers Arena. Like his dad, Cole is a centreman, although he shoots right and Andrew shot left. He also learned much of the game from his dad, who coached him in youth hockey in Columbus through peewee, bantam and first-year midget. Cole later moved on to the OHL’s Oshawa Generals where he was scouted and drafted by the Canucks.

Fund” to finance projects intended to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. ProArbol has come under particular scrutiny, its first two years plagued with poor results and charges of fraud. The program is charged with reforesting 400,000 hectares of forest per year, but a government audit found ProArbol only planted 341,000 in 2007, despite spending all of its funds. Meanwhile, a Greenpeace investigation earlier this year found that only 8 percent of the trees ProArbol planted two years ago actually survived. In some cases, non-native trees were planted and quickly died, while in others, the trees were already sick or were planted at the wrong time of the year. Rather than halt deforestation, ProArbol has only made it worse by pretending the problem is under control, said Hector Magallon, head of Greenpeace Mexico’sForest Campaign. Mexico loses roughly 500,000 hectares of forest per year, ranking it among the five most heavily deforested countries in the world. Like Calderon’s government as a whole, ProArbol has favored private companies — in this case timber companies and tree nurseries — over more effective, community-based solutions, said Magallon. Cities like San Juan del Rio, once ringed by hearty forests, now fill with dust from the barren hillsides that surround them. The town of 1,000 sits at the foot of a mountain, its simple cinderblock houses clustered around a small lake. Dry, furrowed farms stretch out toward the highway. Above, the mountain slope looks barren and worn. The newspaper El Universal reported earlier this year that only two out of the 90 trees planted in 2007 by ProArbol

Last-gasp Parker try seals dramatic win for Scarborough Dave Cambell Scarborough bounced back from a 32-19 deficit to score 12 unanswered points in injury-time to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in a 34-32 win at Old Rishworthians in Yorkshire One. Playing into the teeth of a gale blowing down the Calder Valley, Scarborough trailed 22-14 at the break thanks to 17 long-range points from the boot of Rishworthians' fly-half Josh Kelly The visitors fell further behind after the break but broke the hearts of local supporters with a spirited fightback and a Billy Parker try converted by Tom Ratcliffe in injury time to scrape a 34-32 injury-time win.testified that approximately 178 were capable of transmitting video programming. Dillon further testified that by circulating photographs of the interference he was able to determine that the video message had been generated on a Knox Products K-50 character generator. Dillon then testified that of the 178 earth stations which had the potential to create the interference, six also had a Knox K-50 character generator. 8 The designer of the Knox K-50 testified at trial that the characters seen during the interference episodes were produced by a Knox K-50.

tried to milk a cow on a three-legged stool with just two legs?`` Politely, Fawell said nothing about his ignorance of farming matters, and he voted reluctantly along party lines for the MX--not because he was convinced it was the most effective weapon, he said, but because he wanted Reagan to have it as a bargaining chip at the arms-control talks in Geneva. Harris Fawell is no farmer. Rather, he is a lawyer, a former assistant state`s attorney, 14-year veteran of the Illinois Senate and a member of one of Du Page County`s best-known political families (his father was mayor of West Chicago and his brother was chief judge of the Circuit Court). The district he represents in Congress includes affluent portions of Du Page, Cook and Will counties aswell as the high-tech corridor that is home to the Argonne National Laboratory. When Republican Rep. John Erlenborn retired in 1984, Fawell used a strong showing in Du Page County to overcome eight other candidates and win the Republican primary. It was tantamount to victory in one of the staunchest Republican districts in the nation. His election disappointed some national conservative leaders because Fawell does not always vote strictly along party or conservative lines. A fiscal conservative, he describes himself as a ``moderate`` on social issues. For instance, he is pro-choice on the sensitive abortion issue. ``I don`t favor it as a method for birth control, but I think it is better not having the government telling families what they can do in this area,`` he said. Because of his ``deep respect

arena, Michel said. He received both of his choices for committee assignments--the ``not-too-sexy`` Science and Technology Committee and the Education and Labor Committee. He chose Science and Technology because his district includes Argonne Laboratory and borders the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. During his first year in office, Fawell was instrumental in maintaining Argonne`s budget at the previous year`s level, fending off proposed cuts of $46 million and avoiding a reduction for the first time in seven years. The choice of Education and Labor reflected concerns he developed as chairman of the Education Committee in the Illinois Senate, where he helped make Illinois one of the first states to pass mandatory education for handicapped children.Heretofore, reinforced rubber articles such as giant tires having an opening therein have been repaired utilizing an uncured patch. Generally, the tire was taken to a retread or rubber repair shop where the damaged area was removed. Generally, an all-purpose gum rubber was applied to the opening. On the interior side of the article, the general area of the opening was buffed and a conventional rubber cement applied thereto. Then, an uncured patch was applied. The gum rubber as well as the adhesive was then cured in a mold by applying heat thereto or through utilizing steam heat for a period of approximately 8 to 12 hours. Prior art patches fall into two classes, the chemical cure patches which are high in cost and provide only poor adhesion to

*267 returned to the house with a friend. When Smith asked the friend to leave, Smith and Saylor argued again. Saylor accused Smith of having an affair. Smith testified that she pushed Saylor and that Saylor then hit her and blackened her eye. Smith further testified that she heard Saylor ask his friend if he could borrow his truck so that he could kill Smith and dump her body. Smith also testified that Saylor told her he was going to kill her. At this point, Smith ran outside, got into the truck, and tried to lock its doors. She testified that Saylor followed, reached into the truck, and hit her again. Smith testified that Saylor then got in on the passenger side and cut her neck twice with aknife. Saylor testified that the cutting was accidental. Saylor was indicted for attempted murder. The judge instructed the jury on attempted murder and on the lesser included offenses of assault in the first degree and assault in the second degree. The jury found Saylor guilty of assault in the first degree. On appeal, Saylor challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his conviction. Specifically, he contends that the State failed to prove that Smith suffered "serious physical injury" and that, consequently, the trial court erred in instructing the jury on assault in the first degree. In determining whether the trial court erred in charging the jury on assault in the first degree, we must consider the following definitions of assault and its elements, on which the jury was charged in

of the tub until the project is finished. The plumbers prefer this because these elements will often be damaged as the construction project is brought to a close. Piping for both of the outlets needs to be checked for leaks before the inspection process is completed. This test involves running water down a vent attached to the drain until the water reaches a level above the tub. The tester then determines whether any of the piping leaks. Thus, when the testing operation is to take place, a plug is put in the bottom drain of the tub and some sort of seal plate is placed at the end of the tub on the overflow outlet. Existing overflow plates have a center opening therein. There are either two or four smallToday, US President Donald Trump has been officially impeached. Yet, the outcome was correctly predicted by a blockchain-based prediction platform, known as Augur, more than a month ago. As Decrypt reported back in mid-November, the odds on the President’s impeachment had changed drastically since the public hearings kicked off. At the time, responding to the market question “Will Donald Trump be impeached by the end of 2019,” Augur bettors predicted a landslide 75% in favor of impeachment. This isn’t the first time Augur has got the call right. Bettors rightly predicted that the Democrats would sweep the House in the 2018 midterms, and that Kavanaugh would have his nomination to the Supreme Court confirmed. Recently it correctly estimated that Brexit would not happen by October 31. Despite the impeachment, Trump still

Further evidence of this fairly normal pattern can be seen in the attacks carried out in Iraq. Besides police, coalition and other government targets, Al Qaida operatives in Iraq targeted markets, gas stations, banks, business, electrical plants and lines, major transportation routes and other targets that represented a "strategic convergence" outside of military targets. Markets in Iraq became one of their favorite high density targets. Not only due to the number of people that frequent them, but because it damaged the economy and up the misery of the people, limiting their ability to exist. Other financial targets have included the resorts in Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt

as well as various tourist attractions in Morocco and other destinations. While the FBI is quick to point out they do not have "credible" evidence that an attack is imminent and that the threats were posted on open, known, Islamist web sites that are "hit or miss" on their viability, the threats stay within the basic strategic paradigm targeting important financial points of American economy. More importantly because the threats come at a time of financial importance. This is the holiday season when "shopping" and the money generated sustains many businesses and the economy as a whole for several months after the season has ended. It also comes at a time when the economy is starting to wobble at a precarious pinnacle. Oil prices continue to soar, the prime lendingin the midst of this strategic shift. Yet, the attack also had negative connotations for Al Qaida which is why it and the Taliban are trying to distance themselves from the event by denying involvement. Al Qaida has a strong history of evaluating past mistakes and trying to correct them in future strategies and tactics. Zawahiri had written in "Knights Under the Prophet's Banner" that one of the things that precipitated the fall of armed resistance from the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt was an attack on a government official that resulted in the death of a young Muslim school girl. This had turned public opinion against them. The experience in Iraq must also be evaluated from their point of view since the repeated attacks on civilians, the oppression, torture and

Iain MacLeod’s time as Emmerdale producer has seen the soap go from strength to strength with a string of award wins, including the show’s first Bafta in 16 years. His storylines – most notably the exit of John Middleton’s Ashley Thomas – have been hailed for taking Edinburgh to new heights. MacLeod has played with the genre in a way that hasn’t been tried before, most notably a point of view episode featuring Ashley which highlighted a day in the life of someone suffering with dementia.

With a second series already commissioned, the next year is looking brightfor this talented twosome. 50. Ore Oduba 51. Michelle Keegan 52. Guy Freeman SPOTLIGHT ON: Guy Freeman. The tragic events at Manchester Arena last May, which saw a suicide bomber kill 22 people attending an Ariana Grande concert, inspired One Love Manchester – a star-studded gig played at the city’s Old Trafford grounds and attended by thousands of survivors, headlined by Grande herself. The production became the most-watched TV programme of the year so far and the man who helped turn it around in just a week was Guy Freeman. As executive producer, he pulled together a crew and director with just a few days’ notice and delivered seamless coverage to millions of viewers at home. A remarkable and unprecedented feat. 53.

Anyone who watched Victoria last year was either Team Melbourne or Team Albert. While the monarch famously went on to marry the latter, the ITV period drama took a popular detour by introducing her Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne, as an eligible contender for her heart. Rufus Sewell was the man tasked with bringing him to life, and he did so to great plaudits. A surprise series two return delighted the drama’s many fans and when he’s not strolling the corridors of Buckingham Palace, Sewell can be found starring in Amazon’s alt-history dystopia Man in the High Castle, playing SS Obergruppenführer John Smith – a role poles apart from the kindly Lord M. 57.

Jed Mercurio, who weaved his multi-strand series into one big web earlier this year. With two more series commissioned by the BBC, viewers still have much to come from Ted Hastings and his crack team. But they’ll have to wait for it. The in-demand Mercurio is currently working on new six-part drama The Bodyguard before moving Line of Duty towards its final act. 67. Benedict Cumberbatch 68. Suranne Jones 69. Riz Ahmed 70. Hannah Fry 71. Mike Gunton SPOTLIGHT ON: Mike Gunton. As Creative Director of the BBC Studios’ Natural History Unit, Mike Gunton is no stranger to wildlife documentaries. But with Planet Earth II, the executive producer created something truly remarkable. The documentary series – which aired last autumn – featured extraordinary footage from the

animal kingdom, none more so than the snake vs iguana chase that provided the climax of the first episode. The scenes went on to claim two Bafta awards – including the viewer-voted TV moment of the year – and captured a global audience, racking up millions of views online.

Landing a Bafta award for her first series, Coel put out a second run this year, which was met with equal acclaim. Fans willon a story that was making headlines around the world, and won a Bafta award for Best Factual Series in May.

Each episode DI Sleet (played by Tom Davis) enlists the expertise of a real-life famous face to investigate a murder in Successville. The catch? Successville is a celebrity hotspot and the homicide count is high: casualties have included Reese Witherspoon, Daniel Radcliffe and Bruno Tonioli.

a loyal following thanks in large part to Davis’s imagination and quick thinking. 90. Jeff Pope 91. Shirley Ballas 92. John Oliver 93. Sue Perkins 94. Piers Morgan SPOTLIGHT ON: Piers Morgan.

The London-born actor followed in the footsteps of LeVar Burton and John Amos to play the hero of Alex Haley’s Pullitzer-winning novel in a big-budget American retelling, airing over here on BBC4. Kirby won rave reviews for his performance, shining bright alongside acting heavyweights Forest Whitaker, Lawrence Fishburne and Anna Paquin, and consolidated his breakthrough with a role in Charlie Brooker’s now Emmy Award-winning third series of Black Mirror, appearing in episode Men Against Fire.

while the government has made an exhaustive effort to prosecute Mr. Flynn for three years or more,” she added. Notably, on Aug. 30, the same day as the Flynn filing, the defense attorney in the special counsel case against Concord Management and Consulting LLC notified the court that the prosecutors handed over evidence that should have been provided over a year ago. In making the demand for exculpatory evidence, Powell noted that she expects the actual evidence, rather than the summaries provided by prosecutors. In support of her argument, she cited the administrative court case against Adam Lovinger, a Department of Defense whistleblower who complained about the contracting practices of the Office of Net Assessment, including the $1 million in contracts issued to Stefan Halper, one of the intelligence assetsThe Oscar winner is taking on her first superhero movie, which suggests there must be more than meets the eye to the Marvel Studios project. One of Marvel Studios' most mysterious projects is starting to take shape, and with it comes one of the biggest names in Hollywood. Wednesday it was revealed that Angelina Jolie is in talks to join Chloe Zhao's The Eternals. While details on the film have been locked up tighter than Odin's vault, The Eternals, based on the epic saga by comic book legend Jack Kirby, focuses on immortal superpowered beings created by the Celestials, the cosmic giants seen in the Infinity Stones sequence in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014). Zhao's film is said to be led by Sersi and Ikaris, two Eternals whose love

story rests at the center of an eons-spanning conflict. Marvel had no comment on who Jolie might play, but given that she's the first actor to be cast, it seems likely that she's up for the transmutation-powered Sersi. Jolie also looks a great deal like many artists' depiction of the character. But who is Sersi? And what does Jolie's casting tell us about the film? Unlike the previous films that have made up the Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Eternals is based around largely unknown entities, even for most comic book readers. This unknown quality plus the fact that Marvel Comics hasn't made much effort in reprinting Kirby's series or key appearances of the characters (yet), adds a level of excitement and novelty to Zhao's feature. As a property that'sa signal that if an actress on this level of influence, one who has largely focused on directing and producing of late, is interested, then it must be something special. Marvel Studios, with a few exceptions, has long played the game of star-making when it comes to leading roles, taking talented actors and actresses known from television and award-season breakouts and making them household names or reviving the public's perception of them. There's been a certain tier of actors who first broke box office records and sold magazine covers in the '90s — Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts and Jolie — who have somehow managed to avoid being in a superhero film. But it now seems as though everyone must do

at least one. Despite being a favorite for numerous superhero roles since the '90s and being an early rumored choice to direct Captain Marvel, Jolie has stayed away from superhero movies. Sure, she played Lara Croft twice and starred in the comic adaptation of Wanted (2008), which stripped away the superhero element of Mark Millar's comic, and she went all-in on the costumed villainess in Maleficent (2014) and its upcoming sequel. But she's never played a true superhero before.Big Ten teams have been shaky — 7-27. But not as shaky as the SEC. There are signs the exception could be Mike White’s team at Florida. The Gators won at Arkansas and also handled formidable Miami on a neutral court. Florida’s three losses have been to Top 15 teams — Gonzaga, Duke and Florida State, none at home. The Gators play the Wildcats home and away this season. Ken Pomeroy has Florida favored in every SEC game, except the two with UK. His forecast is 14-4, two games behind John Calipari’s team. If you’re asking for a sleeper, I’ll take Georgia. Mark Fox is a solid, veteran coach, the Bulldogs started league play with a road win (Auburn) and they can build early momentum with their next two games (South Carolina, Missouri) at

FROM WKU CANDIDATE TO HOT SEAT A string of names trickled into the conversation as replacements for Jeff Brohm at Western Kentucky before athletic director Todd Stewart announced the hiring of Mike Sanford Jr. One name that several folks pushed to me was Ed Warinner. He had Kentucky roots. His father played for Bear Bryant at UK. His grandfather was a state senator from Albany, Ky. None of those factors are reasons to hire a football coach. What could Warinner do on the field? Today Ohio State fans will answer that question: Not enough. After struggling to score points against Michigan State and Michigan, Warinner’s offense was blanked by Clemson in the national semifinals Saturday. Ohio State’s offense has gone backwards since Tom Herman left for Houston after the 2014 season. Don’t be surprisedif Urban Meyer makes a change. 6. RONDO RUNNING OUT OF TEAMS Rajon Rondo made his name playing for the Boston Celtics, winning an NBA title. He bounced to Dallas in 2015, on to Sacramento last season and back to Chicago for 2016-17. Now Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg is learning what Tubby Smith, Doc Rivers, Rick Carlisle and George Karl discovered: Rondo is not an easy guy to coach. The Bulls have already suspended Rondo once this season. Then Hoiberg sat him during the second half of the Bulls’ game at Indiana Friday and did not play him a minute Saturday against Milwaukee. Langford was the Bears’ featured back in September. After that, Howard put him on the bench. If not for the slow start, Howard might have eclipsed the Cowboys’ Ezekiel Elliott as

They have moved to the mainstream table, says Sanjiva Rishi of Satnam Overseas. A report by Sourish Bhattacharyya As the world's palate globalises, multi-cultural foods have ceased to be exotic. With this observation on the most significant shift in the world's food market, Sanjiva Rishi, Vice-President (Brand & Market Development), Satnam Overseas, started his presentation at the IFE-Poland 2006 conference on 'India's Processed Foods Industry: Ready for Generation Next?' at Warsaw last week. Rishi pointed out that 18 million Indians live outside their home country and Indian food had found an audience much larger than the offshore Indian community, which explains why Britain and the US have more Indian restaurants - 11,000 and 8,000 respectively - than India

the multi-cultural food segment in the past five years in the US has averaged 6-7%, compared with 2.4% clocked by the food industry overall. And this growth rate is expected to rise to 8.5% by the year 2008. The message of the market is loud and clear. As different ethnic communities integrate into major markets, and as people travel more often to more place, the yearning for a variety of flavours and culinary experiences gets stronger across the world. Here's an emerging global market waiting to be tapped and the good news is that Indian food is right behind Italian and Chinese in the pecking order of international preferences. Rishi's observations were borne out by the shelves at Warsaw 's hypermarkets.

Actor-turned politician Raj Babbar was appointed as Congress' UP chief before elections.

The Congress has won seven of UP's 403 seats, described by party vice president Rahul Gandhi as "a little down.""I take responsibility as the party's chief in UP. Our national leaders worked so hard," said Mr Babbar, rejecting the very idea of any blame for the rout being apportioned to Mr Gandhi, who led his party's UP campaign and fronted the strategyto partner with Samajwadi Party's Akhilesh Yadav. The two parties together could win only 54 seats together. Chief rival BJP and its allies have won 325."You cannot change the leadership. The leadership only creates teams of people like us and these teams are responsible for election wins and losses," Mr Babbar told NDTV. He said he agreed with Rahul Gandhi who said yesterday that structural changes are needed to reinvent the party, which has faced a string of defeats losing state after state to the BJP after the 2014 national election, which reduced the Congress to its lowest tally ever in Parliament.With every defeat questions have swirled around the leadership of Rahul Gandhi who was appointed Congress vice president in 2013.

In election results for five states announced on Saturday, the Congress was trounced in UP and Uttarakhand, and though it was the single largest party in Goa and Manipur, it is the BJP which has formed governments in these states by quickly moving to secure the support of small regional parties.Mr Babbar is the first to offer his resignation after the disaster that this year's assembly elections have turned out to be for the Congress.

Caster Semenya won the eight-hundred-meter title in the Berlin World Athletics Championships in 2009. Few hours after, Caster was at the center of a harsh contestation on gender. The International Association of Athletics Federations started an investigation, which was not respectful of her privacy. Caster's case highlights the need for an improvement in the awareness of genetic counseling principles amongst professionals, the public and various stakeholders. We critically examine the historical steps of gender verification in the Olympics, the violation of genetic counseling principles in Caster's case and outline some reflections on the complexity of the genetics of Disorders of sex development (DSD).

His main concern is to describe the dynamic of the disputes over the theology of the Trinity in a vivid way which is easy to follow, pointing out the foundations of the doctrine and the decisive shifts in its development. He tries to see the often bitter discussion not as a barren dispute but as an evolutionary process in which the rivalry is a necessary and positive factor in moving the debate forward. After an introduction to the problem, the book describes the beginning of christology and the first models of the relationship between Father and Son it then describes the controversies leading up to the Council of Nicaea, which are discussed at length, going on to show how Nicaeadidn't settle the question and continuing the account up to the Council of Constantinople in 381.

Circulations of the Song Themes Themes and Meanings “Circulations of the Song” is a poem about love and about the frustrations of expressing the depth of that love fully. However, Duncan also wants to explore the connections between human and divine love. Throughout his writing life, he used the word “beloved” to embody the range and intensity of the love he held for Jess Collins. Duncan finally found an adequate model in the ecstatic utterances of Jalal al-Din Rumi, the founder of the Whirling Dervishes. Rumi was forced to create these modes of ecstatic expression so that he could articulate the sensuous and spiritual intensity of his devotion to his lover. The use of the ode and the dithyrambic verse form allowed Duncan to imitate and, at the same time,Wasatch Lake is a unique and fun setting for a rustic country wedding, rehearsal dinner, corporate & church retreat, family reunion or private party that's not far away.

An organisation that defines itself as having a select few main purposes, including maintaining worldwide peace and security, developing relations among nations as well as fostering cooperation between nations in order to solve economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian international problems most certainly has set high goals for itself in

digest. Getting the country who categorically abuses international law to head the global committee monitoring international law is like getting a man who regularly beats up his wife to head an anti-domestic violence committee- the logic behind such a choice is non-existent. According to Professor Francis A. Boyle-a professor of international law at the University of Chicago and a Defence Lawyer at the International Court of Justice, not only is Israel guilty of breaching international law, but they are also responsible for “crimes against humanity” against the Palestinian People — as determined by the U.N. Human Rights Commission itself, set up pursuant to the requirements of the United Nations Charter. The concept of a crime against humanity goes all the way back to the Nuremberg Charter of 1945 forIf the Phantom of the Opera had a desk job, this would be his workstation. We've seen lots of steampunk stuff before, from RSS feeds in Morse code to ray guns, and it's often cool but pretty useless. Well, meet the Victorian Organ Command Desk. It works, and it looks gorgeous while doing so. Bruce Rosenbaum of Massachusetts home restoration firm ModVic literally pulled out all the stops when he built this baroque workstation out of a demolished church's organ. He gutted the pump and innards, replacing them with three monitors, a 3GHz AMD Phenom II X4 945 processor running Windows 7 Ultimate, 3GB of RAM, a 1TB HD, and lots of other goodies. For more pics of this awesome machine, see our photo gallery. The steampunk aesthetic reflects the Victorian

love of craftsmanship and fine detail. Rosenbaum admires beautifully designed objects, but prefers practical tools to museum objects. When he decided to build a new PC desk, he scoured eBay and local antique fairs for parts he could repurpose, eventually spending thousands of dollars. It then took six months and help from three other specialists to build the desk. Rosenbaum uses his ornate desk every day. Here are some interesting details and hidden features: All switches and knobs on the desk have a function.

Here in the space of a few pages, one cannot even name those who should be included. But, merely as an example of all those who have struggled for the rights of the defenceless, let us pay tribute first to A NNA B ONUS K INGSFORD From her very early years, ''hatred of injustice and its correlative cruelty especially towards animals, attained in her the force and dignity of a passion . . . and her sensitiveness on this score was the cause of the chief mental misery of her life.": One of her first awakenings came when riding home from a day spent in hunting. She said:

held furs no more. Writing in 1879 to the Princess Marie-Christina of Austria, she said : "I am studying medicine in order to achieve the abolition of the slaughter and torture of animals, whether for food or for science. "Under the tuition of her brother, Dr. John Bonus, she had adopted the Pythagorean regimen of abstinence from flesh-food with such manifest advantage to herself as to lead her to see in it the only effectual means of the world's redemption, whether as regards men themselves or the animals. In 1881 she cites herself as an example of "the beneficial effects of the Pythagorean system of diet," which she stated that "for a period of ten years," she had "uninterruptedly maintained." In 1886 when writing of her marvellous dreaming facultya slaughter-man by trade. I had just been killing, and all the slaughter-house was covered with blood.' Oh, then, my heart was hardened. I looked in the man's face. It was of the lowest type, deep beetle-brows, a wide, thick, coarse mouth, a red skin - 'savage' was stamped on every line of it." In spite of her persistent refusal to allow her medical professors to vivisect at her lessons, and the refusal of the faculty to accept her thesis on Vegetarianism, because it dealt with moral as well as scientific issues - which finally had to be expunged before accepted, she graduated in Paris in 1880 - one of the most brilliant students of her time. She was so very sensitive to the psychic aspect of slaughter, she could

hardly endure the Christmas-tide, for "The atmosphere is thick with blood shed for the season's festivities. The Astral Belt is everywhere dense with blood ... The earth here whirls round as in a cloud of blood-like red fire ...The salvation of the world [said her Genius] is impossible while people nourish themselves on blood. The whole globe is like one vast charnel-house.. ." While the greater Mysteries were reserved only for those were free from the taint of blood-eating, the lower castes were permitted to eat fish. Her Teachers showed men as being of different stages on the evolutionary ladder: "Any man was of high caste, however lowly born or placed, who had developed the consciousness of the inner and higher part of his nature, that of the Soulkind ever seen. "If I were an omnipotent despot, I should enforce such a distribution of material conditions of natural vitality as to make my subjects independent of analgesics. intoxicants, stimulants, tobacco, fish, flesh, and fowl for their endurance of life." "The Word 'Vegetarian' has no more to do with vegetables than the word 'catholic ' has to do with cats. 'Vegetarian' was the name chosen by reformers in ancient Rome who were opposed to the profligacy and gluttony of the masses. The word is derived from the Latin 'vegetare' which means to enliven. The ancient Roman reformers simply desired a more 'enlivening' way of life." When he visited New York, Shaw was invited to a dinner to be given in his honour. He refused the invitation and sent the

on p.76 herein. Gahdhiji rejoices that the man who made him a vegetarian by conviction, not merely by habit, could be present in 1939 at a banquet. Henry Salt was then nearing ninety years of age, for he was born in 1851, - an exemplar of his convictions. Mr. Salt's method of approach was eminently reasonable. In both "Logic of Vegetarianism" and "A Plea for Vegetarianism," he takes up his opponents' arguments one by one and with much wit and good humour demolishes them: "Many people seem to think it a sufficient refutation of Vegetarian principles to point out that it is absolutely necessary in some cases to take the lives of animals. They delight in showing that we are obliged to kill wild animals, to keep downcarnage to imbrue; Lo, there - the preacher of the Good and True, The Moral Man, with sanctimonious smile. "Thrice happy beasts," he murmurs," tis our love, Our thoughtful love that sends ye to the knife (Nay, doubt not, as ye swelter in your gore.); For thus alone ye earned the boon of life, And thus alone the Moralist may prove His sympathetic soul - by eating more." B RAMWELL B OOTH Bramwell Booth, eldest son of William and Catherine Booth, was born at Halifax, in 1856, and was nine years old when his father started the mission in East London that eventually became the Salvation Army. While still in his teens he became his father's principal assistant, showing a genius for planning and organization that proved invaluable when a military pattern was adopted and he became

the Army's first chief of the staff. Throughout his life he waged an unrelenting war on social evils, creating the Salvation Army's first social institutions and agencies that have since served as models for welfare work in all parts of the world. On the death of William Booth, in 1912, Bramwell became the Salvation Army's leader, and under his guidance it continued to advance, entering many new lands, and developing new branches of work. A life-long vegetarian, he gave the following advice to his Officers : Flesh meat is not essential, and may be abandoned at any time without detriment to health or strength, (a) The trifling inconvenience which may be experienced during the first two or three weeks of a non-meat diet, will be followed by benefits in comfort,were bloodshot and he was unsteady on his feet" when he was arrested on two misdemeanor charges of obstruction. Fulton County jail records showed Abraham was released from custody Tuesday at 1:24 a.m. Nike Air Max 95on a $7,000 total bond, or $3,500 for each charge. The arrest of Abraham, the team's top pass rusher, came one week after running back Michael Turner's drunken driving arrest. Turner, also charged with speeding, was allowed to play in Sunday's 27-3 win in San Diego. The Falcons are off on Tuesday and there was no word from the team on Abraham's status for Sunday's game against Carolina. Falcons spokesman Reggie Roberts said Tuesday he did not expect a comment from the team on Abraham's arrest before coach Mike Smith has his

normal news conference on Wednesday. The Falcons said late Monday the team was gathering more information on the incident. Abraham's arrest came after Atlanta firefighters and police responded to a report of a female threatening to jump from a hotel window Monday night, according to Officer K. Y. Jones. Officers were moving people away from the scene when Abraham entered the taped-off area. Blaise said firefighter Jeff Schultz said he asked Abraham to leave at least three times. Blaise said he and a hotel security officer also asked Abraham to remain behind the tape. Blaise said Abraham "argued with me, stating that he lived at the location and that he owned three condos there." Blaise said he told Abraham other residents were patiently waiting behind the line. Blaisesaid Abraham continued to argue and was arrested after being asked "at least five more times" to move behind the taped-off area. Abraham was charged with obstruction of police and obstruction of firefighters. Jones said the woman did not jump. Abraham, 34, is the NFL's active career leader with 114 sacks, including two in the Falcons' 3-0 start. He led the team with 9½ sacks last season and remains a key starter. Abraham, a free agent after last season, signed a three-year, $16.72 million contract to remain with the Falcons. He spent his first six NFL seasons with the New York Jets. He set a career high with 16½ sacks with Atlanta in 2008.

Large hay bales have become very popular in many regions of the country as one large bale can be handled quite efficiently with the heavy equipment available on most farms, as compared to the very labor intensive work required to handle the many small bales required to feed to livestock to provide the equivalent feed as one large bale. Initially, the large bales were not protected from the elements, but were stored where they were made or at another outside site. With such outdoor storage, there is normally

Was America's Star Atomic-Bomb Reporter a Propagandist? William L. "Atomic Bill" Laurence at Tinian Island in the Pacific, the launching point for the atomic bomb attacks against Hiroshima and NagasakiLos Alamos National Laboratory At 5:51 a.m. on Monday, May 21, 1956, the famed New York Times science correspondent William Leonard “Atomic Bill” Laurence watched a new universe burst into existence. As with most profound revelations, this one took a few minutes to sink in, even as Laurence watched it unfold about 40 miles away through a set of heavy goggles. Reliable eye protection was necessary when watching the birth of a new universe, as Laurence well knew, having already done so several times in his long career. No one else among the 14 other reporters who stood around him on thatfar behind, and was even ahead of the United States in coming up with an H-bomb small and light enough to be carried by airplane. Cherokee was America’s first air-launched hydrogen weapon, its first truly practical thermonuclear bomb. With its successful test, the United States had proclaimed to the world—particularly the Communist parts of it—that it now had a handy, portable H-bomb that it could easily deliver (in the Air Force’s charmingly innocuous term) anywhere on the planet. Laurence had written articles and even a book about the hydrogen bomb, had interviewed its creators, and had contemplated its effects and explained them to his readers. But he had never seen one for himself. Now, at last, he could add the H-bomb to his credentials as America’s premier atomic oracle. “I

saga, from Lansing Lamont’s 1965 Day of Trinity to Richard Rhodes’s seminal Pulitzer Prize–winning The Making of the Atomic Bomb, he’s the enigmatic reporter standing on the sidelines scribbling notes while Oppenheimer, Fermi, Teller, and the other Los Alamos geniuses stand in the cold New Mexico desert one July morning to watch the birth of their creation. Yet none of these books, the films and TV movies such as Fat Man and Little Boy and Day One, or any of the other sundry retellings of the Manhattan Project story gives Laurence more than a passing reference. After encountering this mysterious figure so many times in so many different venues, I began to wonder: Who the hell was this guy, and how did he ever get to be the onlyreporter allowed to cover one of the biggest stories of the 20th century? To the nuclear historian Alex Wellerstein, Laurence was “part huckster, part journalist, all wild card ... he’s improbable in every way, a real-life character with more strangeness than would seem tolerable in pure fiction.” He has also become something of a moral bête noire for some who have questioned his motivations, ethics, and Manhattan Project reporting, seeing him either as an opportunist who parlayed a lucky break into a historical exclusive or a nefarious propagandist for the military establishment. Yet Laurence was also, at least in his own era, one of the most important science writers in America, one whose influence, if not his lyrical and vivid prose style, persists to this day. The Princeton historian Michael

best-known newspaper, upon his death in 1977, he apparently left behind no papers, diaries, journals, notebooks, or any of the other records that would be expected of a professional writer. He and his wife, Florence, had no children, and in years of researching his life, I’ve located only one surviving person who actually knew him, the former Times managing editor Arthur Gelb, who died in 2014. Apart from his voluminous writings, the most detailed source of information on Laurence is a lengthy oral-history interview he did for Columbia University in 1964. The transcript’s more than 500 pages are fascinating, detailed, and colorful, but—given Laurence’s predilection for self-aggrandizement and factual exaggeration (qualities that also crept into the sometimes-purplish prose of his professional work)—less than fully reliable. All of which makesinterest. But on closer scrutiny, the issues become hazier, and the answers more complicated and ambiguous. Laurence won his second Pulitzer Prize in 1946 for his Manhattan Project reporting, specifically his eyewitness account of the Nagasaki bombing mission. In 2004, the progressive journalists Amy and David Goodman called for the prize to be revoked, charging that Laurence had knowingly covered up the effects of radiation sickness on the Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors by “parroting the government line” that such reports were Japanese propaganda. That same year, Beverly Ann Deepe Keever, a University of Hawaii journalism professor, took the Times itself to task, claiming in her book News Zero: The New York Times and the Bomb that beginning with Laurence and continuing throughout the Atomic Age, the paper had “omitted

project for four months, I was off the Times payroll,” he explained in his Columbia oral history interview. “My salary came from the Army ... All the facts, all the news I got, I got from the Army and not from my connection with the Times.” If he was touting the official line and saying what the powers that be wanted him to say, he believed that was his patriotic duty in wartime. Despite Laurence’s claims, the question of just who was paying him while he was lost in “Atomland-on-Mars,” as he called it, remains unclear. His temporary boss, General Leslie Groves—the military head of the Manhattan Project and the man who plucked Laurence away from the Times after personally selecting him for his atomic job—later wrote in hisand wrote articles on a mysterious “atomic plague” affecting the survivors, reports later dismissed by U.S. authorities as propaganda. Laurence had flown over Japan after Hiroshima to get a look at things from the air, and was in fact slated for a later visit after Nagasaki to get an on-the-ground view for himself, but was instead literally pulled off the airplane minutes before its departure and ordered back to the States and The New York Times—possibly because General Groves wanted to make sure that his star reporter would stay on the reservation and not say too much if he got a personal look at the devastation and the ravaged survivors. (One reason Groves had chosen Laurence for the job to begin with was that it would enable him to

keep a leash on the reporter as the project reached fruition, rather than reveal too much with his public articles and speculations, as he’d been doing several years previously. As Laurence himself once joked, Groves realized he would either have to hire him or shoot him.) There’s no doubt that Groves and the military were consciously attempting to downplay the dangers of radiation. If Laurence never got to see post-bomb Hiroshima, he did get back to the site of the Trinity test along with other reporters in an official tour hosted by Groves himself in early September 1945. Even as Laurence and the other visitors were required to wear canvas booties over their shoes—as Groves explained, to keep any residual radioactive sand from sticking to their soles—the general deniedScience. One of his biggest stories after World War II was on the discovery of cortisone to treat rheumatoid arthritis, for which he not only won a Lasker Award but even met with President Harry S. Truman to propose an expedition to Africa to secure the plants needed for cortisone synthesis. Whatever else one might think of Laurence, he was not content to sit in the newsroom and churn out watered-down rewrites of press releases and scientific papers. And that was actually a problem: Laurence began to believe his own press, often considering himself more of an expert than the experts, more qualified to dispense wisdom and advice than those who were actually charged with doing so. His Columbia interviews are laced with rants against the establishment, against

sense of wonder, to overwhelm his consciousness, numbing his original visceral dread of atomic weapons and his detailed knowledge of their power. After struggling for decades with the insoluble conflict between the atom’s potential for both unparalleled good and unspeakable evil, he resolved the struggle in his own soul by surrendering to a comforting anodyne, a conviction that nuclear weapons were ultimately a “world-covering, protective umbrella” to shield humanity until the dawn of a golden era of peace. Blinded by the fireball light of Cherokee that shone so brilliantly and then faded, Laurence anesthetized the dread he had felt and warned of long before any of his colleagues by simply fooling himself.

Confronting authoritarian populism: the rural dimension Religion, gender dynamics, place and cultural identity – all inform rising authoritarian populism in rural areas, alongside class interests and inequalities. Mobilising alternatives to capture by regressive political forces is not straightforward.

Luo has devoted his career to rural-theme paintings. Wang Quanchao/Xinhua News Agency/Press Association. All rights reserved. Authoritarian populism is on the rise. Whether in Brazil, Hungary, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, South Africa, Turkey, France, the US and many other countries. Regressive, nationalist, sometimes with religious inflections, it is a diverse, global phenomenon. Much has been written about the rise of authoritarian populism, not least on openDemocracy. But there haspathologies spread, and local institutions — cooperatives, credit unions, sports clubs, schools — weaken or collapse. In many rural settings, it’s no surprise that the appeal of authoritarian, nationalist populism is strong. Rural resources Second, the extractive exploitation of rural resources continues apace. Particularly since the global financial and food crisis of 2008, the grabbing of land, water or minerals has been reshaping rural spaces in many parts of the world, as finance capital seeks new returns. In some cases, armed conflict contributes to the dispossession and displacement. In many countries rural resource extraction is now being pursued with a more nationalist tinge, with arguments about ‘national interest’ in relation to energy, food or water securities. With new capital-elite-state alliances, the dynamics of accumulation shift, and with this comes a new politics of displacement. Populist arguments for new investments, jobs and growth in rural areas

Michael Eisen, a biologist at the University of California-Berkeley, has frequently argued that traditional journals, particularly high profile ones, are hindering science: "Peer review as practiced in the 21st century biomedical research poisons science ... the mythical veneer of peer review has created the perception that a handful of journals stand as gatekeepers of success in science, ceding undue power to them, and thereby stifling innovation in scientific communication." Like Price, Eisen believes that open-access publishing and community, post-publication peer review will play an essential role in fixing science.

Insecurity concerns have forced the closure of a Canadian-owned mine in Chihuahua, leaving its more than 1,800 employees without work. The Pan American Silver Corporation has faced threats from organized crime at its Dolores silver and gold mine in the municipality of Madera since last year. However, the final straw appeared to be the recent discovery by authorities of a decapitated man whose body was dumped within the vicinity of the open-pit mine. It is unclear how long the mine will remain closed.

But the President and his cronies would be mistaken if they think that Lt Gen HR McMaster would simply back whatever policy comes out of the White House. Indeed, General Herbert Raymond McMaster made his considerable reputation as someone who is not afraid to challenge the hierarchy, and indeed had first made his mark by condemning senior officers for not standing up to the flawed policies of US presidents in the Vietnam War. There are some echoes of those times in current events: the animosity shown towards the media by Mr Trump was also present in the White House during Vietnam -- albeit

in nothing like the current poisonous extent – with both Presidents Lyndon Johnson and Richard Nixon blaming newspapers and television for undermining the war effort. Gen McMaster’s firm conclusion was “the war in Vietnam was not lost in the front pages of The New York Times or the college campus. It was lost in Washington DC”. The Vietnam indictment came in a book Dereliction of Duty, initially written as a Phd thesis, which got the attention of the best and the brightest of America’s military men. One of them was Gen David Petraeus, who helped secure Gen McMaster’s promotion in face of opposition from conservatives in the military establishment.

The evidence shows that appellant purchased from a secondhand car dealer in Wichita Falls two cars, one the Chevrolet described, on Saturday afternoon and gave his check in the sum of $1100 in payment therefor. He took possession of the Chevrolet and drove it to Paris, where it was recovered a few days later. The owner of the car phoned to the bank in Paris on Monday and, finding that appellant had no account in the bank, made a trip to Paris to recover his Chevrolet car. He discovered, also, that other representations made by appellant asto the business in which he was engaged were untrue, that he in fact had no business there. The evidence in the case satisfactorily shows that appellant was unknown to the bank and that he had no account whatsoever in the bank upon which a check may be drawn. At the conclusion of the evidence the defendant filed a motion for an instructed verdict. The State was thereupon permitted to recall some of the witnesses and extend its testimony. Appellant did not testify in the trial and introduced no evidence in his behalf. We find three bills of exception in the record, the first one of which complains of the failure of the court to sustain the motion for instructed verdict. This is based upon the contention that the check

in game situations. With the first overall pick in the NFL Draft the Miami Dolphins have no choice but to take Matt Ryan. A Quarterback like Ryan is needed badly for a franchise that has been hurt by inconsistency and a lack of a leadership. With today’s thin market for quality quarterbacks the only way to get one is through the draft. Matt has shown this past year with his arm strength, accuracy, athleticism, and especially his attitude, that he can be a quality starter for many years to come in the NFL. If you need anymore proof, look at his game against Virginia Tech, where he put together two long fourth quarter drives on the way to victory. It takes that mental toughness to make it in the NFL and thethe other hand, was perhaps more perceptive.

valley, by St. Moritz, high in the Swiss Alps. My father never failed to attend. Surrounded by his old school friends, once the sons of bankers and industrialists and counts and barons, now bankers and industrialists and counts and barons in their own right, he seemed able for the moment to put aside the tragedies and disillusionment of the last forty years, to immerse himself in happier memories. His dinner jacket and tails still dated from that period. If his wealthy friends noticed that his collars were a bit frayed, his suits a bit worn, they were too nice to say anything about it. One quirk also set my father somewhat apart from the other Zuoz alumni—his utter refusal to speak the common language of the school, whichrate and the cache miss rate play an important role in determining this performance. To improve the cache performance, reducing the miss rate becomes one of the necessary steps among other steps. Decreasing the access time to the cache also gives a boost to its performance. CPU stalls The time taken to fetch one cache line from memory (read latency due to a cache miss) matters because the CPU will run out of things to do while waiting for the cache line. When a CPU reaches this state, it is called a stall. As CPUs become faster compared to main memory, stalls due to cache misses displace more potential computation; modern CPUs can execute hundreds of instructions in the time taken to fetch a single cache line from main

if the operating system assigns physical pages to virtual pages randomly and uniformly, it is extremely likely that some pages will have the same physical color, and then locations from those pages will collide in the cache (this is the birthday paradox). The solution is to have the operating system attempt to assign different physical color pages to different virtual colors, a technique called page coloring. Although the actual mapping from virtual to physical color is irrelevant to system performance, odd mappings are difficult to keep track of and have little benefit, so most approaches to page coloring simply try to keep physical and virtual page colors the same. If the operating system can guarantee that each physical page maps to only one virtual color, then there are no virtualthere was a cache hit. On a miss, the cache is updated with the requested cache line and the pipeline is restarted. An associative cache is more complicated, because some form of tag must be read to determine which entry of the cache to select. An N-way set-associative level-1 cache usually reads all N possible tags and N data in parallel, and then chooses the data associated with the matching tag. Level-2 caches sometimes save power by reading the tags first, so that only one data element is read from the data SRAM. The adjacent diagram is intended to clarify the manner in which the various fields of the address are used. Address bit 31 is most significant, bit 0 is least significant. The diagram shows the SRAMs, indexing, and

Holiday Heroes: Celebrating Hanukkah across generations Every holiday has its unsung hero, and AOL's video series "Holiday Heroes" highlights those individuals who are making a difference in their communities. Hanukkah brings together Jewish families around the world to celebrate the festival of lights and recount centuries of traditions and history. For the Jewish Family and Children's Service of Greater Philadelphia (JFCS) this means bringing together different generations, from Holocaust survivors to pre-schoolers around Philadelphia, for a time of celebration and reflection. "What JFCS really does is we strengthen lives across generations. That is what we are all about," explained Paula Goldstein, president and CEO of the organization. She continued, "We are the providers for Holocaust survivors in the Philadelphia area." Whether that means operating as a social services agency, providing emergency financialA candidate from NAMRIA won the first ever search for DENR Milenyal ng Kalikasan (MnK) 2018. The search was part of the celebration of the founding anniversary of the DENR held at the amphitheater of the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Center, Diliman, Quezon City on 04 July 2018. The winning candidate was Ltjg. Kurt Louis A. Montemor, a licensed civil engineer and a commissioned officer assigned at the Survey Support Division of Hydrography Branch. The other DENR agencies represented by their respective candidates were Biodiversity Management Bureau (BMB); DENR Central Office-Office of the Secretary, National Capital Region (NCR), Region III, and Region IVB-MIMAROPA; Forest Management Bureau (FMB); and Mines and Geosciences Bureau Central Office and Region IVA-CALABARZON.
