Kay: A person is smart. People are dumb, panickyfor a total payoff demand of $269,506.69 ("the Payoff Demand"), an amount the Debtor considered excessive. See Payoff Demand, Exhibit Citi-2. Citifinancial received full payment of the Payoff Demand at the closing on June 22, 2006.
Through this claims objection, the Debtor seeks to recover the difference between the total Payoff Demand Citifinancial received and what she believes Citifinancial was lawfully due. On August 23, 2006, the parties submitted a Stipulation of Exhibits and Facts. On August 28, 2006, a hearing was held to complete the record. Post-trial briefing by the parties was completed on October 23, 2006.

The Debtor objects to Citifinancial's proof of claim, asserting that payment of the amount of the Payoff Demand is inconsistent with the terms of the Confirmed Plan. | {

The issue in the adversary proceeding was the validity of the sheriffs sale. The parties resolved the dispute by agreeing to a private sale of the subject property. In exchange for Citifinancial's agreement permitting the Debtor to realize some of the equity in the property through a private sale, the Debtor agreed that Citifinancial should receive what it was lawfully due under its original agreement with the Debtor as set forth in the Mortgage and the Note.
The mechanism employed to effect a settlement the private sale of the subject property made it unnecessary for the parties to address either the 2003 foreclosure judgment or the 2004 sheriffs sale and consequently, the Settlement Agreement is silentYou may have the option of adding text, such as a descriptive paragraph or two (or blurbs) on the back cover.

outsourcingChandler Parsons and Troy Daniels and made no significant noise about bringing him back. Indeed, outside of brief rumours about a return to the Indiana Pacers with whom he began his career – rumours since shot down by Larry Bird – there has been little in the way of interest for his services.
The conjecture here is that the two players are not all that different.
On the surface, maybe they are. There has been a difference in terms of their career paths to date, at least.

with Boston that rebuilt his value, and on which he finally played a significant role for a good team.
Meanwhile, Stephenson signed his first free agency deal with the Charlotte Hornets two years ago, and immediately struggled mightily for both results and fit. He was very soon dealt to the L.A. Clippers as a blatant reclamation project, and yet was absolutely not reclaimed there in any way, managing only a few months before being dealt once more at the past trade deadline along with a first round pick in exchange for Jeff Green.

man dive on Venon’s turret, which denied him tons of experience and resulted in a laning phase failure for him. PaiN tried to respond with a mid turret push, but did not have success. As Venon was getting back into his lane, Alunir ganked him and Nbs secured the kill to shut down Rumble completely.
Mid Game
As the laning phase started to end, more skirmishes started to take place that shaped the outcome of the game. GG managed to get the first dragon after trading 1 for 1 in the mid lane. PaiN responded with a Trueshot Barrage snipe on Sona and trading SirT for Mazzerin and the mid turret. brTT got the bottom turret at the cost of his Crystal Arrow and attempted to duel Twitch. At thispoint, Twitch had a BotRK and was able to out trade him pretty easily. As the game progressed GG dove more frequently on PaiN’s team, securing a kill on Kami using J4 as a ball delivery system for Orianna. SirT tried to protect the middle turret but was killed by Mazzerin in the process, snowballing a lategame Orianna pick further. Eventually, with their massive gold lead GG started to group up for objectives, and rotated around the map collecting turrets like candy and stealing buff camps. GG was able to create a monopoly of vision around the dragon pit and the next time PaiN came to contest its spawn, they were promptly obliterated in the next teamfight.

important gank was the second on Venon after the 3-man dive, completely shutting him down in the lane.
– Extreme lane and map pressure by Mazzerin and Nbs
After Orianna and Jarvan got a dive on Venon, Mazzerin started to put a lot of pressure on Kami. As the game went on they were able to pressure Kami even further, diving him and trying to deny his gold as much as possible. After Renekton got a little ahead and got some MR items, he became a constant threat for Venon, pushing him all the way and pressuring him at his turret to deny his farm.
Match MVP:
GG Mazzerin, (7/2/6) for his great Orianna play throughout the game and all of his brilliant Shockwaves.

Game 2:
Coming into game 2 PaiN had to showtheir best play to get to game 3, and GG could secure a clean 2-0 qualification for Worlds. Everyone must have been nervous.

Orianna: Now, instead of Zac, they went for the Orianna ban because she was one of PaiN’s major problems last game. She was putting a lot of pressure on Kami in the mid lane and was able to get great Shockwaves on PaiN. It was a target ban because PaiN would have to play reactively if they wanted to get this win.

strong he went for a 1v2 on brTT and Espeon and forced a Flash Crescendo from Espeon in the exchange. On the other side, Venon was being pressured in the bot lane and DeadlyBrother was catching up to brTT as they managed to get a turret on both top and bot lanes. With Fizz collecting more kills around the map, GG began their snowball. They were all over PaiN’s jungle and got a free second dragon after putting pressure in the mid lane. PaiN tried to engage on Mazzerin in the mid lane after his Playful/Trickster was used, but did not manage to get a kill and disengaged immediately. At this point, PaiN was really afraid of overextending up to a point where they would not hit towerswithout full vision. GG tried to invade PaiN’s blue, but had no vision and had to disengage, losing Aluri in the process. However, an invade attempt from GG ended up going bad as DeadlyBrother was caught out and as a reward, PaiN got GG’s middle turret and their first dragon. While PaiN’s team was retreating, Mazzerin caught brTT with a shark, and with his team follow up, they were able to get a 3-2 fight in favor of GG, and getting a second turret in the bot lane. The game started to cool down for a bit.

JUCHITAN, Mexico — The death toll from one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded in Mexico rose to at least 61 early Saturday as workers scrambled to respond to the destruction just as Hurricane Katia struck its coastline.
The 8.1 quake off the southern Pacific coast just before midnight Thursday toppled hundreds of buildings in several states. Hardest-hit was Juchitan, Oaxaca, where 36 people died and a third of the city's homes collapsed or were otherwise rendered uninhabitable, President Enrique Pena Nieto said late Friday in an interview with the Televisa news network.
In downtown Juchitan, the remains of brick walls and clay tile roofs cluttered streets as families dragged mattresses onto sidewalks tospend a second anxious night sleeping outdoors. Some were newly homeless, while others feared further aftershocks could topple their cracked adobe dwellings.
"We are all collapsed, our homes and our people," said Rosa Elba Ortiz Santiago, 43, who sat with her teenage son and more than a dozen neighbors on an assortment of chairs. "We are used to earthquakes, but not of this magnitude."
Even as she spoke, across the country, Hurricane Katia was roaring onshore north of Tecolutla in Veracruz state, pelting the region with intense rains and winds.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center reported Katia's maximum sustained winds had dropped to 75 mph, making it a Category 1 storm when it made landfall. And it rapidly weakened even further over land into a tropical storm. The center said Katia | {

was expected to dissipate over the course of Saturday.
But it was still expected to bring life-threatening floods and storm surge off the Gulf of Mexico, though the extent of the storm's impact was unclear in the dark of night.
Pena Nieto announced that the earthquake killed 45 people in Oaxaca state, 12 in Chiapas and 4 in Tabasco, and he declared three days of national mourning. The toll included 36 dead in Juchitan, located on the narrow waist of Oaxaca known as the Isthmus, where a hospital and about half the city hall also collapsed into rubble.

The latest earthquake swayed buildings and monuments in the capital more than 650 miles from the epicenter.
Mexico City escaped major damage, though part of a bridge on a highway being built to the site of a planned new international airport collapsed due to the earthquake, local media reported.
The quake's power was equal to Mexico's strongest in the past century, and it was slightly stronger than the 1985 quake, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

There are ~6,000 people in the village, which is divided into eight sub-districts (“bun-ya-dynas”), and covers ~11,000 hectacres. The land can manage up to three crops a year, and one hectare produces each year (when things are good) four tonnes of rice. A farm worker, can expect to make ~50,000 rupiah ($5) a day. An average, wooden, house costs forty million rupiah ($4,000), which is 800 days work. This salary is sufficient to live on, and living on a farm supplies many necessities of life. There are three primary schools in the village, but older children must go elsewhere for higher education, which many now do.It was a fascinating experience living with thePeter J.

The deeply conservative kingdom is one of the most gender-segregated countries in the world, where women live under the supervision of a male guardian, cannot drive, and must wear head-to-toe black garments in public.
But Saudi media outlets have reported that the country's King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud has issued an order allowing women to benefit from government services such as education and healthcare without getting the consent of a male guardian.

to deny Britain had voted for Saudi Arabia's ascension to the body, but Belgium's prime minister said he "regretted" his ambassador's vote in favour.
The new changes mean women could, in some circumstances, study and access hospital treatment, work in the public and private sector and represent themselves in court without consent of a male guardian, said Maha Akeel, a women's rights campaigner and a director at Jeddah-based Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
"Now at least it opens the door for discussion on the guardian system," Ms Akeel told the Thomson Reuters Foundation. "Women are independent and can take care of themselves."

During sustained activity, such as walking, hiking and running, an individual's feet are subjected to large, repetitious ground reaction or impact forces generated in a gait cycle. A runner's foot experiences these ground reaction forces at various points during a typical gait cycle. The runner's gait cycle begins with the heel strike phase, where the initial ground contact at the lateral side of the heel takes place. The heel strike phase lasts until the rest of the foot or shoe contacts the ground, known as the flat foot phase. In the flat foot phase, the runner's weight rolls forward and inward onto the forefoot as the arch collapses, and moves onto the inner and front part of the forefoot where the foot is pushed off the ground andSourced

Osteoarthritis of the temporo-mandibular joint in free-living Soay sheep on St Kilda.
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative disease of synovial joints with the potential to cause pathology and welfare issues in both domestic and wild ruminants. Previous work has identified OA of the elbow joint in domestic sheep, but the prevalence of OA of the jaw and in particular the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) has not been previously reported. Following up a previous report of a single case of TMJ OA in a free-living population of Soay sheep on St Kilda in the Outer Hebrides, an archive of 2736 jaw bones collected from this population between 1985 and 2010 was surveyed. Evidence of TMJ OA was found in 35 sheep. Of these, 15 cases were unilateral (11 right side,BBC World Service

Melbourne Cup winning jockey Michelle Payne has returned to riding after a career-threatening race fall in May.
Payne — who won last year's Melbourne Cup on Prince of Penzance — required pancreatic surgery after the fall at Mildura.
Her father, Paddy Payne, said she got back in the saddle at Ballarat on Wednesday.
"She's going very well. She actually rode 10 horses yesterday morning," he said.
"She's in fine form. She's doing a lot of exercise and she's going really well."
Mr Payne said she had done very well to recover so quickly and although she had no races booked yet, he hoped she would be back racing in about four weeks time.
Payne complained of abdominal pain after the Mildura fall and was flown to hospital in Melbourne for surgery.
She has previously hadtwo horror falls, one in 2004 that left her with a fractured skull and bleeding on the brain and another one in 2012 when she broke four vertebrae and several ribs in a race fall at Donald, Victoria.
Payne, the youngest of ten siblings from a famous racing family, missed rides in Europe, including Royal Ascot, during a planned two-month break from racing. | {

BAGHDAD, Iraq – A senior U.S. official insisted on Saturday that the U.S. military has the upper hand in the escalating war in Iraq, on a day when three soldiers died in road attacks and the international Red Cross (search) said it was closing two main offices due to deteriorating security.
Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage (search) described Iraq as a "war zone," but noted that "we have the momentum in this process."
"I'm absolutely convinced we have a very solid plan to go out and get these people who are killing us and killing Iraqis," he told reporters Saturday during a visit to Iraq.

the Iraqi security services, and the guerrillas' apparent ability to strike at will, has prompted fears that the initiative in the conflict is slipping from the coalition's hands.
During a news conference in the heavily guarded compound housing the Iraq's U.S.-led administration, Armitage appeared anxious to ease such fears.
"I'm pretty convinced after this short visit ... that we will take this fight to the enemy," he said.
Later Saturday, detonations were heard inBaghdad (search). An Iraqi police officer, Maj. Kadhim Abbas Hamza, said a mortar shell exploded in the yard in front of the main railway station and there were no casualties.
At the same time, coalition troops blocked traffic across the Jumhuriya Bridge near the U.S. command compound known as the "Green Zone." For the first time since the endof major combat in May, U.S. jets and helicopters circled overhead through the night sky with their navigation lights turned off.
Separately, the military said on Sunday that a soldier from the 1st Armored Division died and another was wounded when their vehicle struck a mine in Baghdad's Wehda district late Saturday.
Two soldiers of the 82nd Airborne Division also died on Saturday when a homemade bomb exploded beside their vehicle about in Fallujah, a center of Sunni Muslim resistance 40 miles west of Baghdad, the military said.
Their deaths brought to 36 the number of American soldiers who have died in Iraq this month.

that the rebellion has now spread out of its original stronghold in the so-called Sunni Triangle north and west of Baghdad.
The military said that troops in Mosul recovered seven shoulder-launched SAM-7 Strela anti-aircraft missiles. Six were turned in by a citizen in exchange for a monetary reward, a statement said, while an infantry patrol found the seventh hidden in tall grass.
Patrols uncovered a weapons cache consisting of 333 hand grenades, 92 rocket-propelled grenades and two RPG launchers, and arrested seven men believed to have been involved in previous attacks.
The military also said that a man suspected of having served as one of Saddam's bodyguards was detained Saturday in the northern oil city of Kirkuk.New Jersey Employers: Consider Revising Leave Policies in Light of the New Jersey SAFE Act
Effective 1 October 2013, the New Jersey SAFE Act (SAFE Act) will require many New Jersey employers to provide up to 20 days of unpaid and job-protected leave in a year to victims (and close family members of victims) of domestic violence or sexual assault. New Jersey employers should consider revising their existing leave policies to reflect material differences in the new leave requirements provided under the SAFE Act, relative to the leave requirements provided under similar laws such as the New Jersey Family Leave Act (NJ FLA) and the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). In addition, covered employers should post a conspicuous notice of employees' rights under the SAFE Act, in | {

Adrià's latest book is inspired by the meals he and his staff shared before the shuttering of the legendary elBulli restaurant in Spain. These family meals, eaten before the restaurant opened its doors for the evening, were meant to provide Adrià and his crew of 75 enough sustenance for the evening that was equally tasty and efficient. Happily roasted chicken satisfies both of these criteria.
Adrià's roasted chicken is a take on Catalan dish, pollo a l'ast, an herb and lemon rubbed bird, traditionally spit roasted. In this recipe he's made a poultry seasoning blend of dried thyme, rosemary, bay leaves and peppercorns, all ground together and rubbed into a chicken that's also seasoned with salt, lemon zest, and olive oil.

The incident occurred around 4 a.m. on Sunday in Aman Vihar area when the girl went out of her home to attend nature's call.
Police said her neighbours Naushad, 20, and Mohammad Shaubat, 25, took her to a secluded place on the pretext of some work and raped her.
The girl told her family of her ordeal, and they later approached police.
"We registered a case of gang-rape after her medical report confirmed sexual assault. The accused were arrested late on Sunday night from their hideouts in nearby area," said a police official.

to both police brutality as well as general dissatisfaction with the American racial and social status quo, almost every large city (as well as plenty of smaller ones) has dealt with some form of mass civil unrest.
The killing of high school student James Howell in 1964 triggered multiple race riots throughout the country, especially in New York and New Jersey. The Watts riots in 1965 were massive, and spurred on by multiple factors, including police treatment. Riots throughout the nation erupted in the summer of 1967 including in Buffalo, Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati, Tampa, Milwaukee, and Chicago. The assassination of Martin Luther King spurred on even worse riots in 1968, including in Baltimore, Kansas City, Chicago, and Washington DC. Large-scale riots were somewhat reduced after the turbulent Sixties, butA United Nations investigator probing discrimination against Native Americans has called on the US government to return some of the land stolen from Indian tribes as a step toward combatting continuing and systemic racial discrimination.
James Anaya, the UN special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples, said no member of the US Congress would meet him as he investigated the part played by the government in the considerable difficulties faced by Indian tribes.
Anaya said that in nearly two weeks of visiting Indian reservations, indigenous communities in Alaska and Hawaii, and Native Americans now living in cities, he encountered people who suffered a history of dispossession of their lands and resources, the breakdown of their societies and "numerous instances of outright brutality, all grounded on racial discrimination".
"It's a racial | {

discrimination that they feel is both systemic and also specific instances of ongoing discrimination that is felt at the individual level," he said.
Anaya said racism extended from the broad relationship between federal or state governments and tribes down to local issues such as education.
"For example, with the treatment of children in schools both by their peers and by teachers as well as the educational system itself; the way native Americans and indigenous peoples are reflected in the school curriculum and teaching," he said.
"And discrimination in the sense of the invisibility of Native Americans in the country overall that often is reflected in the popular media. The idea that is often projected through the mainstream media and among public figures that indigenous peoples are either gone or as athe Black Hills was guaranteed them by treaty and that treaty was just outright violated by the United States in the 1900s. That has been recognised by the United States supreme court," he said.
Anaya said he would reserve detailed recommendations on a plan for land restoration until he presents his final report to the UN human rights council in September.
"I'm talking about restoring to indigenous peoples what obviously they're entitled to and they have a legitimate claim to in a way that is not devisive but restorative. That's the idea behind reconciliation," he said.
But any such proposal is likely to meet stiff resistance in Congress similar to that which has previously greeted calls for the US government to pay reparations for slavery to African-American communities.

up and wanted to buy one of the pieces. Kishore promptly asked if she could make the cheque out to Upchurch. Later he looked at the cheque. It was from Bianca Jagger.
Having cobbled together the money to pay Upchurch, Kishore waited for the manuscript. And waited. But Upchurch had disappeared. Buried in old binders in Seagull’s office are yellowing letters and desperate telegrams from Circus Avenue, Kolkata to W 73rd St, New York.
“MYSTIFIED AT SILENCE. ARE YOU THERE? ARE YOU WELL? MY NOVEMBER LETTER CONTRACTS EVERYTHING REMAINS UNANSWERED.”
When there was still radio silence at the other end, a worried Kishore hopped on a flight to New York, armed only with an address for his missing translator. There he discovered the reason for the silence. Upchurch was dying. TheAIDS epidemic was ravaging America. Upchurch had already lost his partner to the disease and he himself had been given three months to live. There was no way he was going to translate Eisenstein’s memoir. Kishore told him not to worry about returning the money. Within months Upchurch was dead.
Kishore raised the money again. William Powell was roped in as translator. The Eisenstein books were published. This year Seagull Books will reissue those books to mark the centenary of the October Revolution, though Bianca Jagger will probably never know of her little cameo in their history.
It’s a story that’s quintessentially Seagull—about a publishing house in Kolkata whose windows opened out onto the world, about unexpected connections that crisscross the globe, about a man who impulsively jumped on a | {

plane when his letters were unanswered, and about a publisher who put books and relationships ahead of money.
The international heft of the Seagull list today is the envy of many publishers: Jorge Luis Borges, Roland Barthes, Alexander Kluge, Mahashweta Devi, Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, László Krasznahorkai. When the Goethe medal was conferred on Kishore in 2013, German publisher Elizabeth Ruge described him as a “bricoleur” in her laudatory speech—a magpie of letters, who audaciously brought “together all those texts he perceives as glittering, often uniting books and authors that at first glance don’t relate to each other.”
Some of those relationships are forged through charm. Some through persistence. Some, like much else in Seagull, is serendipity. In 2005 Kishore escorted Mahashweta Devi to Italy where she was receiving an award.A Chinese writer was also receiving the same award. Kishore spent a day in Venice with the Chinese writer and his daughter who spoke English. Later Kishore sent them some of the black-and-white photographs he had taken that day. When Seagull planned a series on Communism he reached out to the Chinese writer. That book was called Change. Later he got the English rights for his novel Pow! Just as Pow! was being printed, that writer, Mo Yan, won the Nobel Prize in literature. Leading publishers in Europe snapped up the language rights for Change which had been a slow-seller until then while Seagull scrambled to have 10,000 copies of Pow! printed before the Nobel ceremony.

impresario,” says Anjum Katyal, who worked as an editor for Seagull for 20 years. “He knew what it was like to be in the arts as a practitioner.”
Seagull Books was born in 1982 to document the arts, with Kishore as the inexperienced but enthusiastic publisher and Samik Bandyopadhyay, an Oxford University Press veteran, with deep connections to Kolkata’s experimental theatre and alternative cinema world, as the editor. The name had its own story. In 1972 Kishore was the stage manager for a hugely successful Red Curtain concert with local rock band Great Bear. One of their songs was “Seagull Empire”, seagull being slang for cocaine. When Kishore started doing more events he used Seagull Empire Presents, creating in effect an event management company before anyone called it eventwalk right in.

The messages show neo-Nazis from Europe and the US – hiding behind pseudonyms – engaging in racism and misogyny, glorifying violence and cruelty, and discussing the production of propaganda.
The chat logs include senior members of the Atomwaffen Division, a nihilistic American organisation that encourages terrorism and says civilisation needs to be smashed in order to build a national socialist state.

The group promotes a dystopian ideology it calls “universal order” which lionises Adolf Hitler, the murderous cult leader Charles Manson, and the veteran neo-Nazi ideologue James Mason, who provides regular diatribes for a website run by Atomwaffen members.
Atomwaffen – the word means atomic weapons in German – has been linked to five murders and itsthat Mr Dymock has been questioned by police over alleged sexual offences against a teenage girl.
Images, allegedly shared by Mr Dymock with his associates and later placed online, show a swastika and runic symbols cut into a girl’s naked body and – in another image – Mr Dymock appears to brandish a book by James Mason in the air as she lies on the floor.
The bed seen in the images is consistent with the background in a picture posted by “Blitzy” and another of Mr Dymock himself.
It is understood that both Mr Dymock and Mr Koczorowski were previously involved with the neo-Nazi group System Resistance Network, which can be linked to acts of racist vandalism in as many as 10 UK cities.

The BBC approached both men setting out our findings and seeking comment.
Mr Dymock said through his lawyer that all our allegations were “wholly incorrect”, that he was not a member of any organisation mentioned and any interest he did have was “associated with his university studies”.

daily news site, gave a coverage on the Pad Yatra
About 30 Bhutanese monks, studying in India, accompanied by 700 other pilgrims, started a 43-day pilgrimage walk today.
The walk, which began from Manali, India, will cover Himachal Pradesh, and finish at Hemis in Ladakh, covering a distance of some 400 km. The group will cross five high Himalayan passes, the highest of which, Shikunla and Singgela, both measure about 5,200 m above sea level.
The programme was initiated by His Holiness the 12th Gyalwang Drukpa Rinpoche, the reincarnation of Drogon Tsangpa Gyare (founder of the Drukpa lineage) and recognized and revered as the spiritual head of the Drukpa lineage.
On the way, the group will visit holy sites of Chakrasamvara, Avalokiteshvara, Guru Padmasambhava and one of the sites of the greatDrukpa master, Naropa.
The walk, according to the 9th Kyabje Khamtrul Rinpoche, was to keep one's mind out of desire, ignorance, jealously, attachments, and anger and accumulate good karma. "Good merit is accumulated through keeping our mind free of material world and emotions and this walk will help keep one's mind free," Rinpoche told Kuensel.
One loses attachment of comfortable and luxurious life because everybody will be sleeping under trees, at roadsides and in the fields wherever possible.
The walk also aims to raise funds for children of deprived background in the Himalayan regions. The group will distribute pamphlets and shopping bags to discourage the use of plastics in the region.
His Holiness will also conduct oral transmission and admonition of the dzogchen text, Kuenzang Lamai Zhelung (Words Of My Perfect Teacher).

The racist Manhattan attorney who was filmed on Wednesday berating workers at a midtown restaurant for speaking Spanish was also caught on tape last year unleashing a profanity-laced tirade at Jewish supporters of Palestine.
Aaron M. Schlossberg was caught on camera Wednesday threatening to call ICE on two friends speaking Spanish to each other in a restaurant.
He was filmed lambasting the manager of Fresh Kitchen on Madison Avenue for allowing his staff to speak Spanish in 'my country' and raged about 'paying for their welfare' in a video filmed on Tuesday.
The 42-year-old, a registered Republican who has donated to Donald Trump, owns his own commercial law firm and boasts of being fluent in Spanish in his own work biography.
It has been revealed that Schlossberg was seen in a videorecorded on May 25, 2017 during a demonstration with Trump supporters who protested Palestinian-American activist Linda Sarsour for her views on Israel. The video was posted by journalist Isaac Saul of A Plus.
Schlossberg attended the rally in support of Milo Yiannapoulos and Pamela Geller, who were protesting a commencement speech by Sarsour.

in the occupied territories.
Schlossberg was pictured among Trump supporters shouting 'you are not a Jew' at a rabbi who he believed to be a counter protester, according to Saul, who published a video of the incident.
After the video filmed on Tuesday went viral the man was widely named as Aaron M. Schlossberg, 42, who runs his own commercial law firm and boasts of being fluent in Spanish in his own work biography
Schlossberg is seen in the video with other Trump supporters yelling profanities at a group of ultra-Orthodox Jews who oppose the State of Israel on religious grounds and giving them the middle finger.
The lawyer's rant at the restaurant on Wednesday began after he saw a lunchtime regular speaking Spanish with a Hispanic employee, the manager told theat a customer who was speaking Spanish to a Hispanic employee, as he did on a regular basis
Schlossberg's LinkedIn also lists him as having attended The Haverford School in Philadelphia in 1994, before going to John Hopkins University where he graduated in 1998 with an English degree.
At John Hopkins he wrote for the student newspaper, The News Letter, his profile states.
He graduated from George Washington Law School in 2002 and clerked for New Jersey Superior Court Judge John Peterson.

practice a year later.
The Law Office of Aaron M. Schlossberg was founded in June 2012 and specializes in 'complex commercial matters', including insurance
His website and social media pages have now been bombarded with abuse from people who have seen the viral video.
The New York State Bar Association said on Wednesday that Schlossberg is not a member.
New York state law does not require attorneys to be members of the bar in order to practice.
The NYSBA is a 'voluntary membership bar association, and attorneys are not required to belong to NYSBA in order to practice in New York,' it said in a statement to DailyMail.com.
'NYSBA has no statutory or regulatory role relating to the certification or discipline of attorneys in New York State.'
'Complaints against attorneys are investigated by grievance committeesappointed by the Appellate Division of State Supreme Court,' the NYSBA said in a statement.
Calls to the Appellate Division of the State Supreme Court went unanswered as of Wednesday evening.
The front desk at Schlossberg's office building was turning away all visitors at his request on Wednesday.
The video of Schlossberg raging in Fresh Kitchen was initially posted on Facebook Edward Suazo, who said his wife was at the restaurant when the rant occurred.
'What a big man talking down to couple of women and a helpless employee,' Suazo wrote.
'I wish someone tells me I can't speak in my native language ! First of all they wasn't talking to you!'

Urolithiasis can be traced back to periods long past, and its pathological substrate was well known from the beginning. This knowledge motivated rational, empirical measures of healing, which included a variety of recipes against stones. The paper presents two unconventional testimonies of urolithiasis in the 18th century. The Croatian Glagolitic prayerbook from the 18th century is a valuable source for identification of therapeutical approaches. On the other hand, a votive painting of Saint Liborius, patron saint against lithiasis, reflects theurgical views of disease and healing. On the occasion of the 1600th anniversary of his death, this paper aims to illustrate how his cult was revitalized in the 18th century. | {

Pentecostal CU opens refurbished office
Bishop Delroy Powell, the son of one of the credit union’s founding members, will be officiating at the dedication service of their head office, which is based in Balham, South London, on 14 April. Councillor Leslie McDonnell, the Deputy Mayor of Wandsworth, will unveil a specially commissioned plaque to commemorate this momentous event.
The refurbished Pentecostal Credit Union offices now have a modern fresh design and light airy rooms, which reflect the new upbeat optimism of the organisation.
The Pentecostal Credit Union Chief Executive Shane Bowes said: "The credit union has come a long way since it was founded in 1980. The official dedication and opening of our refurbished Head Office heralds the start of a new era in the Pentecostal Credit Union’s development.
“In our earlyyears many of our key clients were church leaders who wanted to buy church buildings. We now are keen to encourage the younger generation to make use of our services."
The PCU was started by Jamaican-born minister Rev Carmel Jones in 1980 during a time when Britain's African-Caribbean community found it very difficult to get loans from established banks and financial institutions.
After reading about credit unions in a booklet by chance, Rev Jones thought establishing one would enable black communities to easily get loans and the other financial services that they needed.
36 years later, the Pentecostal Credit Union has a loan book of £4.7 million and assets of £10 million, making it one of the largest credit unions in Britain.
The credit union was recently awarded the Investors in People | {

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A Taliban suicide bomber on a motorcycle targeted a campaign rally by President Ashraf Ghani in northern Afghanistan on Tuesday, killing at least 24 people and wounding 31. Ghani was present at the venue but was unharmed, according to his campaign chief.
Just hours later, an explosion struck near the U.S. Embassy in Kabul but details on that blast were not immediately known. The Taliban claimed both attacks.
The violence comes as Afghanistan faces presidential elections on Sept. 28 - a vote the Taliban vehemently oppose. The insurgent group has warned Afghans not to vote in the election and said their fighters would target election campaigns as well as polling stations.
In Tuesday’s attack in northern Parwan province, the bomber rammed his motorcycle packed with explosives intothe entrance of the venue where Ghani was campaigning on the outskirts of the city of Charakar.
There were many women and children among the casualties, said Dr. Qasim Sangin, a local official.
Wahida Shahkar, spokeswoman for Parwan’s governor, said the rally had just begun when the explosion occurred.
Local television footage of the attack showed twisted wreckage and charred remains of military and police vehicles that were apparently positioned near where the powerful blast
Firdaus Faramarz, spokesman for the Kabul police chief, said there was no immediate information about any casualties in the Kabul blast, which took place near Massood Square, a deeply congested intersection in the center of Kabul. NATO and U.S. compounds are located nearby as are several Afghan government ministries.

“dead” launched the war-battered nation on an election campaign.
Ghani, who had been sidelined during much of the talks between Khalilzad and the Taliban, resumed campaigning immediately and had been steadfast in his demand that presidential polls should take place.
Khalilzad and some of Ghani’s rivals, however had talked of establishing an interim administration to run the country while a peace deal was implemented.
In the aftermath of the scrapped talks, Afghans braced for what many expected to be an increase in violence. The Taliban have refused to discuss a cease-fire and have stepped up attacks across Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Afghan forces, backed by their U.S. allies, have intensified raids on militant hideouts in recent weeks.
The Taliban have also refused to meet with representatives of Ghani’s government for talks but it wastwo attacks in Kabul in recent weeks that caused Trump to halt the negotiations with the Taliban, including one that killed two NATO soldiers, one of whom was an American. Another U.S. soldier died in combat in Afghanistan on Monday.
Monday’s death was the 17th U.S. combat death in Afghanistan this year, according to the Pentagon’s count. There also have been three non-combat deaths this year. More than 2,400 Americans have died in the nearly 18-year war.
Even as the bombs went off in Afghanistan, the Taliban were on the move looking for support.
On Tuesday, the Afghan Taliban were in Iran visiting officials in Tehran, while last week they were in the Russian capital holding consultations with Zamir Kabulov, President Vladimir Putin’s envoy for Afghanistan.

I. FACTS AND PROCEDURAL HISTORY

On October 5, 1984, Young pleaded guilty in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas to burglary. On November 14, 1989, while still on probation from his burglary conviction, Young was tried and convicted of robbery and sentenced to one-and-a-half to three years imprisonment. On March 21, 1990, finding that the 1989 robbery conviction violated the terms of Young's probation, Judge Tama Myers Clark revoked Young's probation on the burglary conviction and ordered him to serve ten to twenty years imprisonment. She later vacated that sentence pending disposition of the appeal of the 1989 robbery conviction. Then, on April 21, 1994, Judge Clark imposed asentence of five to ten years imprisonment for violation of probation, which Young is presently serving.

Having unsuccessfully challenged his 1989 conviction through direct appeal and state collateral attack,1 Young, acting pro se, filed the present habeas corpus petition under § 2254 on February 23, 1995,2 alleging ineffective assistance of trial and appellate counsel in connection with his 1989 conviction. Named as respondents are Donald T. Vaughn, the Attorney General of the State of Pennsylvania, and the District Attorney for Philadelphia County (collectively "the Commonwealth"). Although the petition makes no reference to the 1984 conviction, Young did explain the relationship between the two convictions and his present incarceration in his "Response to Respondent's Response to Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus," in which he contends: | {

Anyone who has taken fashion inspiration from Audrey Hepburn, Natalie Wood, or Elizabeth Taylor’s on-screen style may actually have Edith Head to thank.
The 20th century costume designer created the iconic wardrobes of movies ranging from Hepburn’s “Sabrina” to Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds” over a half-century long career that earned her critical acclaim as well as a hand in designing a page in fashion history books. Several of her most famous designs, as well as her austere personal style, are captured online today through a Google Doodle in honor of the 116th anniversary of her birth.
Born Edith Claire Posener in San Bernardino, Calif. on Oct. 28, 1897, Ms. Head originally hoped to be a French teacher. She studied French at the University of California-Berkeley, gained a master’s degree inromance languages from Stanford, and got her first job as a French teacher at a girl’s school in San Diego. She later picked up drawing in hopes of making a bit of extra cash as an art teacher, but instead it led to her first job in Hollywood: a costume sketch artist for Paramount Pictures in 1924.
Around this time, she also married Charles Head, and though they later divorced, the last name “Head” stuck in her professional life.
Though Head later admitted she used a student’s sketches to land her the job at Paramount, her talent quickly proved her worth. Head stayed at Paramount for 43 years (then Universal Pictures after 1967) and became the stylish eye behind Hepburn’s European ensembles in “Roman Holiday,” the floral sarong worn by | {

Dorothy Lamour in “Jungle Princess”, and Elizabeth Taylor’s sparkling strapless dress in “A Place in the Sun,” among more than 400 other movie wardrobes.
She was known to consult with her female actresses, making her a favorite among the Hollywood stars she dressed, who ranged from Mae West to Grace Kelly to Natalie Wood over her long-lasting career. Plus she captured the heart of directors such as Alfred Hitchcock, as she dressed his leading ladies in tailored, fashionable ensembles that ironically stayed together as his characters fell apart during his many on-screen psychological thrillers.
But her fame wasn’t limited to creating some of the most memorable looks in cinematic history. Over her career, she was nominated for 35 Oscars and won eight, the most of any woman in Academy Awardhistory. She is also the only costume designer to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Despite making a living dressing others, her personal style also lent her a bit of notoriety in Tinsel Town. She favored pulled back dark hair with short blunt bangs, and was never without her thick, black-rimmed round glasses. Though not confirmed, her unique style and no-nonsense personality is thought to be the inspiration for the character Edna Mode in Pixar’s movie “The Incredibles.”
Head died in 1981 at the age of 83, but today gets new life on Google. | {

Uzbekistan announce plans to increase tax on Cryptocurrency mining facilities
The tax is said to go up by 300%
This new comes after Kazakhstan too announced crackdown on mining farms
The country of Uzbekistan announced in a circular that they will be taking several action on the mining farms established in their country as it is taking a huge toll in their energy resources. The government announced that they will be hiking the taxes on cryptocurrency mining by 300%.
The provision follows an Aug. 22, 2019 decree from President Shavkat Mirziyoyev entitled “On Accelerated Measures to Improve Energy Efficiency of Economic Sectors and the Social Sphere, Implement Energy Saving Technologies and Develop Renewable Energy Sources” and to further motivate the rational use of electrical energy by consumers.
However, due to the power intensivenature of the operations, the cost of electricity plays a great role in the feasibility of the operations. This decision by the Uzbekistan’s government might thus bring many miners to a point where they will have to relocate or shut down their rigs.
A similar move was taken last week by their neighbor, where at least 45 huge mining farms in Kyrgyzstan by the national Government were temporarily shut down. This bold move was taken as the government saw unexplained demand in electricity, which was eating up all the resources and reserves of the country. Kyrgyzstan is host to several remote mining platforms, . The drop occurred just hours to the launch of the much-anticipated Bakkt platform. | {

The area around the intersection of East 22nd Avenue and Rupert Street in Vancouver is undergoing more changes.
A new development is being planned in the neighbourhood, which has the Renfrew Elementary School on the northeast corner of the junction.
When the project is completed, East 22nd Avenue and Rupert Street would have been transformed into a multi-family district.
The change started a few years ago, when a number of shops on the southwest side of the junction, which included a European bakery and an Asian fish store, were replaced by a low-rise condo building.
In May this year, city council approved a rezoning application for the site at the southeast side, which is currently occupied by the Chong Lee Market, a grocery popular among local Asianshoppers.
The rezoning for the said location is meant for the development of a six-storey mixed-use building with a new Chong Lee Market and other shops on the ground floor, and 98 market rental units on the upper floors.
The redevelopment of the Chong Lee Market site has yet to start, and a new project has been proposed across on the northwest corner of East 22nd Avenue and Rupert Street.
A rezoning application has been filed by Cornerstone Architecture to redevelop the strip mall presently anchored by a 7-Eleven convenience store.
Currently zoned as commercial, the location has a bus stop on East 22nd Avenue. A number of blocks to the west is the Renfrew Park Community Centre.
The proposed development features 55 market rental units, and commercial spaces on the ground floor.

A London resident who pleaded guilty to kidnapping a Georgetown University student and attempting to rob him will be deported.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia said in a release 35-year-old Paolo Aldorasi was sentenced Tuesday to 24 months in prison, with all but 11 months suspended. Since Aldorasi has been incarcerated for 11 months, he now faces deportation and five years' probation, during which he's barred from the United States.
Aldorasi pleaded guilty to assault with intent to commit robbery in November.
Authorities say Aldorasi abducted the victim near the school's main campus and drove him to four banks, a Best Buy and a Cartier store in Maryland in January 2017. Aldorasi let the student go, uninjured, when the transactions failed.
He was arrested in Seattle in February.As the hapless and frightened British cops hide inside their police stations and cop cars, the gangs run wild on the streets of London, smashing cars, throwing shopping carts at each other, even bicycles get chucked around.

Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper suggested on Wednesday that "it's possible" that President Trump's voice was picked up in a wiretap as he spoke with his former campaign manager Paul Manafort.
"It's certainly conceivable," Clapper said on CNN.
When asked by host Don Lemon if it was likely, Clapper said he couldn't say, but again asserted that there is a chance.
"I wouldn't want to go there, but I will say it's possible," Clapper said.
"Its possible" President Trump's voice was picked up in a wiretap of Paul Manafort, says former spy chief Clapper https://t.co/2ELM48axAa— CNN (@CNN) September 21, 2017
A CNN report earlier in the week said that Manafort had been wiretapped under a FISA warrant over suspicions that Manafort had encouraged some of the Russian activities to interfere inlast year's elections.
Manafort's spokesman, Jason Maloni, condemned the report, saying "If true, it is a felony to reveal the existence of a FISA warrant, regardless of the fact that no charges ever emerged."
Clapper, who was DNI under former President Barack Obama, repeatedly said on Wednesday he could not comment on the media reporting about FISA orders, but did defer to an interview he did in March on "Meet the Press" in which he said the intelligence community that he oversaw did not conduct wiretap activity on Trump or his campaign. He couched that response on his inability to speak for other authorized government entities not under his purview, but did say that if the FBI obtain a FISA warrant on something like this, he would have known about | {

it.
Earlier this year Trump claimed in March, without evidence, that he had been wiretapped by the Obama administration. However, the Department of Justice acknowledged in a court filing earlier this month that it had no evidence of any wiretaps on Trump Tower during the 2016 campaign.
The White House has said Trump was referring to surveillance in general and the White House has pointed to reports that indicate there were surveillance efforts against Trump before he took office.
Clapper stressed to Lemon on Wednesday that he did not know about any wiretaps directed at Manafort and reasserted that all there is to go on at the moment is media reporting.Blogs I Follow
Haiti marks 100th anniversary of U.S. occupation | Miami Herald
While many in this struggling nation are too young to remember the years, 1915 to 1934, that marked the first U.S. invasion of Haiti, the occupation remains a complex, and for some, a vexing period in Haitian history.
“Haitians like the U.S. visa to travel, but they don’t like American interference in their politics,” said Jean-Junior Joseph, a political blogger who once served as spokesman for the U.S. backed interim government that led Haiti between 2004 and 2006.
On Monday, Junior was among a handful of Haitians who attended a conference at the national pantheon museum as part of a monthlong series of activities aimed at commemorating the day the U.S. marines landed in Port-au-Prince, July 28, 1915.

museum, 56 books about the occupation are on display, the titles underscoring the resistance marines found in an unstable Haiti after a mob mutilated the body of then-Haitian President Vilbrun Guillaume Sam. Sam had ordered the deaths of 167 political prisoners, and U.S. President Woodrow Wilson reasoned that U.S. financial interests and citizens needed protection.
But instead of protecting Americans, soldiers were soon calling the shots, accused of abuse and racism, and leaving their footprint on almost all aspects of Haitian life and politics.
“It’s during the occupation that Haitian women learned about going to the beauty salon,” said Pierre Buteau, a historian and former education minister.
Despite such influences, including modern roads and infrastructure, Buteau said the “modernization left by the Americans was fake. It was a modernization that wasthe first match and it takes a little bit of time to get used to the centre court."
Fourth seed Berdych became the highest-ranked casualty on the men's side so far as he crashed out 4-6 6-2 6-4 to Spain's Roberto Bautista Agut.
Bautista Agut also upset Del Potro at the Australian Open in January, but Berdych felt most of the blame lay with him.
He said: "Anything I touched today was basically bad and was wrong. It was definitely my worst match that I had this year."
Del Potro did not even take to the court for his scheduled match against Feliciano Lopez.
The sixth seed, who reached the final last year, has been struggling with a left wrist problem and felt it was not worth risking further damage.

The researchers found that the way police appear to handle and investigate reports of sexual violence has improved.
Logie said the report highlights the Government's commitment to improving New Zealand's justice system, with legislation due to be released later this year around sexual violence laws.
It follows recommendations made by the Law Commission in March after its review of the Evidence Act 2006 - a review it's required to do every five years.
One of its recommendations was to ban questioning in court about complainant's sexual history, which the Government said it accepted in September, along with 18 of 27 other recommendations.
The Government is already progressing six of the recommendations relating to complainants and witnesses in sexual violence and family violence cases, the details whichCargo ship sinks off Turkey's Black Sea coast; 6 dead Turkey's state-run news agency says authorities launched a search and rescue mission after a ship sunk off its Black Sea

The Scottish Government has announced that it has surpassed its target for apprenticeships, with more than 27,000 people starting Modern Apprenticeships in 2017/18. Statistics released by Skills Development Scotland also reveal that the Scottish Government is on course to reaching its commitment to increase the number of apprenticeships to 30,000 per year by 2020.
Employability and Training Minister Jamie Hepburn visited Cortex Worldwide Ltd at its Edinburgh office today as part of the announcement. He highlighted the value in promoting Modern Apprenticeships, which offer Scotland’s future workforce a prime opportunity to develop valuable skills.

When heroes fall, Americans grieve and our thoughts andKenya orders all refugees back into camps
Move is a bid by government to stop attacks in retaliation for the presence of Kenyan troops in neighbouring Somalia.
Kenya has ordered all refugees living in urban areas to return to their camps in a bid to end attacks by armed groups carried out in retaliation for Kenya's intervention in neighbouring Somalia.
Kenyans were asked to report any refugees or illegal immigrants outside the overcrowded camps - Dadaab in the east and Kakuma in the northwest - to the police, the AFP news agency reported on Tuesday.
All refugees residing outside the designated refugee camps of Kakuma and Dadaab are hereby directed to return to their respective camps with immediate effect.
Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenki
"Any refugee found flouting this directive will be dealt with | {

in accordance with the law," Interior Minister Joseph Ole Lenku said in a statement.
Lenku issued the order citing "emergency security challenges" in Kenyan towns, but the move is likely to be criticised by rights groups which have discouraged similar actions in the past.
Until now, refugees who could support themselves or were in need of specialised education or medical care had been allowed to live in urban areas.
Lenku said "all refugees residing outside the designated refugee camps of Kakuma and Dadaab are hereby directed to return to their respective camps with immediate effect."
The refugees are now required to be housed at Dadaab, close to the Somali border, and at Kakuma, near Kenya's frontier with South Sudan.
Al Jazeera's Mohammed Adow said that implenting the directive could prove a daunting taskit flew
To the shield of Aeacus' son, but glancing thence
This way and that the shivered fragments sprang
As from a rock-face: of such temper were
The cunning-hearted Fire-god's gifts divine.
Then in her hand the warrior-maid swung up
A second javelin fury-winged, against
Aias, and with fierce words defied the twain:
"Ha, from mine hand in vain one lance hath leapt!
But with this second look I suddenly
To quell the strength and courage of two foes,--
Ay, though ye vaunt you mighty men of war
Amid your Danaans! Die ye shall, and so
Lighter shall be the load of war's affliction

now in act to drag
Her from the swift steed's back. Confusedly
She thought: "Or shall I draw my mighty sword,
And bide Achilles' fiery onrush, or
Hastily cast me from my fleet horse down
To earth, and kneel unto this godlike man,
And with wild breath promise for ransoming
Great heaps of brass and gold, which pacify
The hearts of victors never so athirst
For blood, if haply so the murderous might
Of Aeacus' son may hearken and may spare,
Or peradventure may compassionate
My youth, and so vouchsafe me to behold
Mine home again?--for O, I long to live!"
So surged the wild thoughts in her; but the Gods
Ordainedhim thence to Ilium
The god-built burg. But Aias failed him not.
Swiftly that godlike man bestrode the dead:
Back from the corpse his long lance thrust them all.
Yet ceased they not from onslaught; thronging round,
Still with swift rushes fought they for the prize,
One following other, like to long-lipped bees
Which hover round their hive in swarms on swarms
To drive a man thence; but he, recking naught
Of all their fury, carveth out the combs
Of nectarous honey: harassed sore are they
By smoke-reek and the robber; spite of all
Ever they dart against him; naught cares he;
So naught of all their onsets Aias recked;

fire. He fell
Backward upon Achilles, even as falls
A sapling on a sturdy mountain-oak;
So quelled by the spear on Peleus' son he fell.
But for his rescue Anchises' stalwart son
Strove hard, with all his comrades battle-fain,
And haled the corse forth, and to sorrowing friends
Gave it, to bear to Ilium's hallowed burg.
Himself to spoil Achilles still fought on,
Till warrior Aias pierced him with the spear
Through the right forearm. Swiftly leapt he back
From murderous war, and hasted thence to Troy.
There for his healing cunning leeches wrought,
Who stanched the blood-rush, and laid on the gash
Balms, such as salve war-stricken warriors' pangs.

His mother cast her on him, clasping him,
And kissed her son's lips, crying through her tears:

Exult! Now let broad-flowing Axius
Exult, and for Asteropaeus dead
Put by his wrath! Let Priam's seed be glad
But I unto Olympus will ascend,
And at the feet of everlasting Zeus
Will cast me, bitterly planning that he gave
Me, an unwilling bride, unto a man--

To whom the Fates are near, with death for gift.

But battle-stormer Aias, chafed in mind,
Sprang up, hot-eager to essay again
That grim encounter. From his terrible hands
He dashed the dust, and challenged furiously
With a great voice Tydeides: not a whit
That other quailed, but rushed to close with him.
Rolled up the dust in clouds from 'neath their feet:
Hurtling they met like battling mountain-bulls
That clash to prove their dauntless strength, and spurn
The dust, while with their roaring all the hills
Re-echo: in their desperate fury these
Dash their strong heads together, straining long
Against each other with their massive strength,
Hard-panting in the fierce rage of their strife,
While from their mouths drip foam-flakes to thewakes
A tempest, when the hill-sides stream with rain.
Burst to the front Eumelus' steeds: behind
Close pressed the team of godlike Thoas: shouts
Still answered shouts that cheered each chariot, while
Onward they swept across the wide-wayed plain.

Forced thee, the cowering craven, how loth soe'er,
To follow them--would God thou hadst never come!
For by thy counsel left we in Lemnos' isle
Groaning in agony Poeas' son renowned.
And not for him alone was ruin devised
Of thee; for godlike Palamedes too
Didst thou contrive destruction--ha, he was
Alike in battle and council better than thou!
And now thou dar'st to rise up against me,
Neither remembering my kindness, nor

In fight before the onset of thy foes,
When thou, forsaken of all Greeks beside,

Yea, seemly it is I wear those glorious arms,
Who shall not shame a God's gifts passing fair.
But wherefore for Achilles' glorious arms
With words discourteous wrangling stand we here?
Come, let us try in strife with brazen spears
Who of us twain is best in murderous right!
For silver-footed Thetis set in the midst
This prize for prowess, not for pestilent words.
In folkmote may men have some use for words:
In pride of prowess I know me above thee far,
And great Achilles' lineage is mine own."

Against his liver heaved his bowels; his heart
With anguished pangs was thrilled; fierce stabbing throes
Shot through the filmy veil 'twixt bone and brain;
And darkness and confusion wrapped his mind.
With fixed eyes staring on the ground he stood
Still as a statue. Then his sorrowing friends
Closed round him, led him to the shapely ships,
Aye murmuring consolations. But his feet
Trod for the last time, with reluctant steps,
That path; and hard behind him followed Doom.
When to the ships beside the boundless sea
The Argives, faint for supper and for sleep,
Had passed, into the great deep Thetis plunged,
And all the Nereids with her.Achaeans glory. Achilles' son
Beyond the rest was filled with valour and strength
Which win renown for men in whom they meet.
Peerless was he in both: the blood of Zeus
Gave strength; to his father's valour was he heir;
So by those towers he smote down many a foe.
And as a fisher on the darkling sea,
To lure the fish to their destruction, takes
Within his boat the strength of fire; his breath
Kindles it to a flame, till round the boat
Glareth its splendour, and from the black sea
Dart up the fish all eager to behold
The radiance--for the last time; for the barbs

One little heap of ashes, then with wine

That each from other ever turn away;
For the old jealousy in the marble lives.
BOOK XI
How the sons of Troy for the last time fought from her walls and
her towers.
Troy's daughters mourned within her walls; might none
Go forth to Paris' tomb, for far away
From high-built Troy it lay. But the young men
Without the city toiled unceasingly
In fight wherein from slaughter rest was none,
Though dead was Paris;So fell before their hands ranks numberless:
With corpses earth was heaped, with torrent blood
Was streaming: Strife incarnate o'er the slain
Gloated. They paused not from the awful toil,
But aye pressed on, like lions chasing sheep.
Then turned the Greeks to craven flight; all feet
Unmaimed as yet fled from the murderous war.
Aye followed on Anchises' warrior son,
Smiting foes' backs with his avenging spear:
On pressed Eurymachus, while glowed the heart
Of Healer Apollo watching from on high.

To the ambush, by the cry, `Come forth the Horse!'
When unsuspecting sleep the sons of Troy."
He spake, and all men praised him: most of all
Extolled him Calchas, that such marvellous guile
He put into the Achaeans' hearts, to be
For them assurance of triumph, but for Troy
Ruin; and to those battle-lords he cried:
"Let your hearts seek none other stratagem,
Friends; to war-strong Odysseus' rede give ear.
His wise thought shall not miss accomplishment.
Yea, our desire even now the Gods fulfil.
Hark! for new tokens come from the Unseen!
Lo, there on high crash through the firmament
Zeus'unaccomplished from our town
Like silly boys or women have they fled."
So cried a Trojan wit-befogged with wine,
Fool, nor discerned destruction at the doors.
When sleep had locked his fetters everywhere
Through Troy on folk fulfilled of wine and meat,
Then Sinon lifted high a blazing torch
To show the Argive men the splendour of fire.
But fearfully the while his heart beat, lest
The men of Troy might see it, and the plot
Be suddenly revealed. But on their beds
Sleeping their last sleep lay they, heavy with wine.
The host saw, and from Tenedos set sail.

And drenched the tomb. Fear-haunted touching this,
Foreboding all calamity, she wailed
Piteously; far rang her wild lament.
As a dog moaning at her master's door,
Utters long howls, her teats with milk distent,

The Australian Government has rushed six defence force refrigeration units to Bali to help preserve the remains of Australians killed in the attack.
The units, normally used to house perishable goods used by the defence force in field operations, were flown to Denpasar on air force Hercules flights.
The task of transporting the dead home could begin today, after the government employed Qantas and an international company specialising in disaster mortician work to conduct the operation.
To ease the pressure on traumatised Australian families searching for loved ones in Bali, the Government has also agreed to pay relatives' airfares, departure taxes and passport costs. Prime Minister John Howard said the Kenyon International Emergency Services company was best qualified to organise the repatriation of Australian victims.

On February 1, 1992, on a highway located in Jefferson County, Florida, Florida Highway Patrol Trooper James Fulford observed a car exceeding the speed limit and made a routine traffic stop. After making the usual inquiries, he discovered the car was a rental, and the driver was without a license; he arrested the driver of the vehicle for operating a vehicle without a license. After the driver consented, and while waiting for the car to be impounded, Trooper Fulford opened a gift-wrapped package found in the truck of the vehicle, purportedly containing a microwave oven. Unfortunately, there was | {

a homemade pipe bomb inside the microwave oven, which was triggered to explode when the microwave was opened. Trooper Fulford died from the extensive injuries he received from the blast.

After law enforcement conducted a thorough investigation, the government indicted several individuals, ultimately filing a third superseding indictment on October 16, 1992, which included charges ranging from drug and RICO conspiracies to felony murder and the murder of a law enforcement officer. On March 9, 1993, after an eight-week criminal jury trial, Appellants were convicted of several counts.
14
Appellants Patrick and Paul Howell, Michael Morgan, Patricia Clarke, Norris Mothersill, Egnatius Johnson, and Errol Morrison were all found guilty of either Counts I or III, which alleged a conspiracy to commit racketeering pursuant to 18 U.S.C. §principal leaders of an elaborate drug operation, dating back to 1988, that supplied, distributed and sold crack cocaine throughout Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, and North and South Carolina. Most of the leaders were Jamaican citizens residing in the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida area. Patrick's brother, Paul Howell, Johnson's former girlfriend and Morgan's sister, Patricia Clarke, Norris Mothersill and Errol Morrison were also major players in the sophisticated and expansive operation. For purposes of our discussion, the precise scope and history of the conspiracy need not be recited; however, certain events and individuals, pertinent to the issue examined below, warrant mentioning.
19
Egnatius Johnson distributed and supplied a great deal of crack cocaine from a source located in the Bahamas, employing individuals to import the | {

cocaine on cruise ships sailing to and from Florida. Appellant Clarke, along with her brother, had been trafficking drugs from South Florida to Marianna, Florida, Georgia and Alabama; they joined Johnson in his endeavors sometime in early 1992. Patrick Howell, introduced to the area by Michael Morgan, sold cocaine in the Marianna Garden Apartments in Marianna, Florida throughout the 1980s, and later expanded his business to Georgia and South Carolina. Mothersill, assisted by Morrison, started dealing drugs in Marianna during the late 1980s.
20
In August of 1991, Patrick Howell and Michael Morgan were plotting to rob a Ft. Lauderdale drug dealer named Alfonso Tillman. With Clarke and Johnson present, Howell and Morgan obtained a car rented by Paul Howell, andMorgan secured a weapon. Morgan, while Patrick Howell drove, shot and killed Tillman. After the shooting, the inside of the car needed extensive cleaning, and Clarke and Patrick and Paul Howell commenced the clean-up efforts. Tammie Bailey and Yolanda McCalister were the girlfriends of Michael Morgan and Patrick Howell respectively. Patrick Howell had informed McCalister of the murder, and warned her if she told anybody, he would kill her and her family. McCalister and Bailey ultimately rode in the rental car, noticing blood and bullet holes in the interior, and blood on Patrick Howell's shorts.

In October of 1991, after returning from a trip to Jamaica, Patrick Howell was detained by immigration officials and ultimately arrested. While | {

Patrick was incarcerated, Paul took over the supervisory role in their drug operation. During this time, law enforcement officials were progressing in the investigation of the Tillman murder. In the wake of the Tillman murder, appellant Paul Howell, concerned about the possibility of Ms. Bailey "straying" and turning to the authorities, constructed a pipe bomb with the intention of killing her in an apparent attempt to ensure she would not talk. To that end, he ordered the delivery of a gift-wrapped package containing a microwave oven to Ms. Bailey; inside the oven was the homemade pipe bomb that took Trooper Fulford's life.

Jailed: Luke Lazarus outside court during his sentencing hearing for raping a woman near his father's nightclub in Kings Cross. Credit:Janie Barrett A string of prominent people, including Waverley mayor Sally Betts, the honorary secretary of the Honorary Consulate-General of Greece in Brisbane, Tsambico K Athanasas and South Sydney Rabbitohs rugby league club chairman Nick Pappas had provided references for Lazarus, unanimously declaring their shock at his conviction and vouching for his good character. Ms Betts urged the court not to jail Lazarus while the parish priest at the Greek Orthodox Christian Church of St George, Rose Bay, Father Gerasimos Koutsouras said: "The possibility of imprisonment is completely undeserved for this promising young man." But the judge said a full time jail sentence was the only option asshe was satisfied Lazarus didn't "care one way or the other" as to whether the young woman was consenting. During the hour-long sentencing hearing, his father, Andrew Lazarus, hid his face behind his hands while, in the dock, his son looked down, repeatedly rubbing his face.
Judge Huggett ordered that Lazarus be referred to mental health professionals from Justice Health while in custody. Lazarus, a former Cranbrook student, worked in marketing for beverage giant Lion but resigned upon his conviction by a jury last month. He claimed the 18-year-old was a willing participant because she didn't physically resist, scream or say no. The court heard that, in the early hours of May 12, 2013, the victim went to the Soho club on Victoria Street, Potts Point, with a friend | {
"pile_set_name": [
"OpenWebText2",
"OpenWebText2"
]
} | 13,827,957 |
after spending the previous hours drinking at her sister's Sydney home and the nearby World bar. It was her first visit to Kings Cross. Lazarus, who worked casually for his father, the part owner of Soho and the Eastern Hotel at Bondi Junction, approached the woman on the dance floor and told her he owned the club and invited her to the VIP area.
He led her by the hand to an exit door that opened on to the alley. The couple kissed but she said she wanted to return to her friend. As she went to leave, Lazarus pulled her stockings and skirt down and said in aggressive tone, "Put your f---ing hands on the wall." He then told her to go down on her hands and kneesand to "arch your back". The victim told the court that she was alone in a dark alley and frightened. As he anally raped her, she said "I'm a virgin."
After about 10 minutes, he gave her his mobile phone, which had a list of women's names. He told her to add hers to the bottom of the list. In cross-examination Lazarus' barrister, Ian Lloyd, QC, suggested the victim's attitude towards the sexual encounter changed after seeing the list because she felt used or like a trophy. She denied this was the case. In a text message to a friend the afternoon after the attack, Lazarus said: "I honestly have zero recollection of calling you ... Was a sick night – took a chick's virginity." His friend replied: "bahahahaha | {
"pile_set_name": [
"OpenWebText2",
"OpenWebText2"
]
} | 13,827,959 |
nice popping does cherries ... " Lazarus replied: "... it's a pretty gross story tell ya later".
The note section of his phone also contained a list of female names, with his victim's name appearing at the end of the list. In a victim impact statement read to the court during sentencing submissions, the victim said she spent days sitting in a bath after the attack and, in the two years since, had cried until she "couldn't breathe, crying until I physically couldn't any more". "I'll never be who I was. I had to rebuild myself with what I had left," she said in the statement. "A part of me died that day, the part that trusted others." Judge Huggett said she was satisfied the victim was scared andintimidated by the power imbalance between Lazarus and her.
"She had the right to go to Kings Cross, to be intoxicated, to kiss a man. She also had the right to say she wanted to return to her friend. The offender ignored that." In his sentencing hearing on Thursday, Lazarus cried as he told the court he once had "the world at my feet" and "I could have been a CEO." He said media coverage of the trial and conviction had caused his privileged life to come crashing down around him. He has been vilified on social media and has been prescribed antidepressant and sedative medication. "My life, at least in Australia, has been completely destroyed and now I have to live the rest of my life knowing every | {

} | 13,827,961 |
single person in Australia, or at least Sydney, knows I have been convicted of a sex offence," he said. He said he was "shattered, horrified and sickened" after hearing the woman's victim impact statement.
Judge Huggett accepted Lazarus' offending occurred in the context of a recent break-up with his American girlfriend, who was not of Greek heritage, sparked by his parents' ultimatum that he had to choose between her and his family. He had experienced bullying at school, in part due to his short stature, and he revelled in the power and entitlement he enjoyed as the club owner's son. He has also expressed some remorse, claiming he would have "never deliberately hurt her". But neither the media coverage nor his mental health issues reduced his "moral culpability", JudgeHuggett said. However, she did acknowledge jail would be more onerous for him than "ordinary" inmates.
In a character reference tendered to the court Lazarus's father Andrew said there has been a "major backlash" against the Soho nightclub since the Herald reported his son's conviction on March 8. He said there has been "a significant decline in patronage" and after 19 years he is going to sell out. Mr Lazarus said the family had hoped to keep his eldest son's conviction under wraps. "It was our intention and hope that the incident could remain quiet to > protect Luke's good reputation," he said. "I didn't even inform my mother and sisters as I was acutely aware of how painful this would be for Luke and all his family and | {
"pile_set_name": [

} | 13,827,963 |
friends." "Luke had a very bright future and he often discussed his aspirations, commitment and belief that he one day would be CEO of [food and beverage multinational company] Lion. None of this is now possible as a registered sex offender."
Mr Lazarus said Luke believes he will need to move overseas and change his name to begin a new life. The mayor of Waverley Sally Betts urged the sentencing judge to avoid sentencing Lazarus to jail. In a written reference Ms Betts said she has known the Lazarus family for many years and holds them in high esteem. She said she was shocked to learn of his conviction as she knows him as upstanding member of society. "The conviction is inconsistent with the gentle well mannered and respectfulyoung man that I know."

"Luke is suffering greatly as a result of the shame he has bought on his family," she said. "I have no hesitating in supporting the whole Lazarus Parras family including Luke." The chairman of the South Sydney Rabbitohs rugby league club Dr Nick Pappas said he has known Luke since he was young. He said: "I have always observed him to be respectfull, courteous and obliging young man who has, on my observation, never displayed even a hint of unlawfulness in his conduct."

As you’ve likely heard by now, Siwon and his family are in a gigantic mess thanks to their dog causing the death of neighbor in their apartment complex, and the mess was only made worse with further details.
Among those details are things like how his dog biting him affected his military service.
During Siwon’s service as a promotional policeman, he had come back from his vacation with a bite from his dog on his nose. He had a band-aid on the bite, and because Siwon was the face of the police squad, it had affected the way events were held. He was in charge of MCing, but another soldier had to step in for about a month because of the bite. During performances, he also had to switch positionsfor example, the increase in the blood cholesterol level is associated mainly with a rise in the concentration of LDL, IDL and VLDL cholesterol. However, the specific causes of hypercholesterolemia are complicated and varied. At least one kind of hypercholesterolemia, known as familial hypercholesterolemia, is caused by a mutation in the gene for the LDL receptor that moves cholesterol out of the blood, primarily in the liver. Much more commonly, hypercholesterolemia has been associated with high dietary intake of saturated fatty acids and cholesterol, resulting in elevated blood cholesterol levels. High serum triglyceride levels have also been associated with high dietary intake of fatty acids.
Reduction of hyperlipidemia, including hypercholesterolemia, results in a delayed onset of atherosclerosis and a decrease in the progression of atherosclerosis, thus reducing the risk | {

ATLÉTICO MADRID
Madrid 17:13h CEST
According to Cadena COPE journalist Isaac Fouto, Atlético Madrid boss Diego Simeone could face a four-game touchline ban after laying his hands on a match official after his side’s loss to Villarreal on Tuesday night. Separately, Spanish television station Gol also captured the Atlético manager insulting match officials after he felt that not enough time had been added at the end of the game with his side trailing 1-0.
Simeone to officials: "Sons of bitches"
Simeone is seen to apparently call the referee and his assistants “sons of bitches” after match referee Iglesias Villanueva blew for full time while a Gabi free-kick was still airborne. Television images also picked up Simeone making a hand gesture towards the match official.
After the game, Simeone was also recorded telling theDallas Boosting Development With Tax Increment Financing
DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Dallas City Hall thinks taxpayer financing for property owners near the American Airlines Center will be a good deal—not just for those property owners, but for taxpayers and for small businesses across the Trinity River.

As many of you prepare for the upcoming March Break, we’d like to post a little reminder about some of the construction that has been happening here at the Harbour front.
For the remainder of March, the TTC will be limiting access on the University line affecting those traveling between St. George and Union stations. Major re-signalling work over four weekends this month will modernize the TTC signals, relays, wiring and cabling equipment, much of which was originally installed when the University line opened 50 years ago. To accommodate surface travel, a frequent, accessible bus service will operate and shuttle service information is available on the TTC site.
The following weekends will NOT have service between St. George and Union station:
Sunday, March 10 (starting Saturday, March 9 at midnight).
Sunday, March17 (starting Saturday, March 16 at midnight).
Saturday, March 23 and Sunday, March 24.
For those who are already close to the Harbourfront, demolition work will continue at the Peter Slip Bridge after having been delayed due to bad weather. Pedestrian access on the southside of the Peter Slip Bridge is not available due to the confined working space. The northside sidewalk remains open at all times. Crews are expected to remain working in the area until May when the surface of the bridge including the new TTC corridor is complete.
The York Street construction of the new parking lay-by (which will provide a safe area for short-term passenger loading and unloading from coaches and tour buses visiting the waterfront) is nearing completion. Final paving is expected to be completed this | {

crews who continue to work in the north lanes. Local traffic for 10/20 Bay Street and the EllisDon construction site will be permitted through this work area.
55 Harbour Square to Robertson Crescent
Traffic has moved to the centre of Queens Quay. Please note that the TTC bus stops at York Street and Lower Simcoe Street are now located in the centre travel lane. A special loading/unloading area has been created for each stop using concrete jersey barriers and a designated walkway from the signalized intersection provides safe access to the bus stops.
Rees Street to Spadina Avenue
There will continue to be a single lane of westbound traffic (on the north side of the street) in this area.The TTC bus stop just past Rees Street will remain on the northside curbat this time that ONLY WESTBOUND TRAFFIC will be moving between Bay Street and Lower Spadina Avenue. This will require a diversion to Eastbound buses on the 509 Harbourfront route:
From Exhibition Loop, Eastbound 509 Replacement buses run East on Fleet Street, diverting South on Fort York Boulevard, East on Lake Shore Boulevard/ Harbour Street serving temporary stops at Stadium Road, Bathurst Street, Dan Leckie Way, Spadina Avenue, Simco Street and on Bay Street (buses do not stop at Rees Street). Buses continue North on Bay Street (stopping outside Union Station), East on Adelaid Street and South on Yonge to King Street (stopping outside King Station). A paper transfer is required at both Union and King stations.

China National Building Material to double cement production capacity
China National Building Material to double cement production capacity
Published:
22 April 2008
China National Building Material Company Limited (CNBM) plans RMB13.8bn expenses for cement plants and will double cement production capacity to 186Mt in 2008, up from 60Mt in 2007.
CEO Cao Jianglin reveals the company plans RMB14.6 billion of capital expenditure in 2008 and 95% will be allocated for acquiring cement plants. The company will develop up to 90 cement plants by the end of June 2008, becoming the second largest cement producer in the world and a major player in China.
Cao forecasts that CNBM’s gross profit margin in cement business will rise from 27% in 2007 to 28% in 2008. Cao expects the company will raise cement price once or twiceBride's magazine, which has been instructing American women on weddings since 1934, is to find this confusion writ large. In one respect Bride's harks back to a time when women's magazines never mentioned sex at all, and the advice on offer was of a most genteel nature. A recent issue is full of the kind of pointers that well-bred mothers have given their daughters for generations: write the thank-you note as soon as you get the gift; send the announcement to the newspaper several weeks before the wedding. The advertisements (and they are staggering in number) feature brides so demure that many of them can't even look us in the eye; they gaze off in deepest repose or trail clouds of tulle through the marble lobby of the | {

wedding receptions seem never to end: with only a dispiriting and possibly dangerous interlude with acrylic pearls awaiting them in the bridal suite, there is nothing to hurry the principals off the dance floor. The couple is far more interested in boogying down at the opulent party they've ordered—after all the hard work, a chance to have some fun!—than in attending to the drudgery of consummating the marriage. There was a time when a wedding wasn't just a fancy party, when it commemorated an occasion of tremendous moment, as true ritual always has—in this case the beginning of a woman's sexual life. The reception was once marked by a particular kind of shared anxiety, which fostered a genre of American humor that is now all but lost: thebe part of a frantic and terribly expensive effort to infuse a wedding with some small measure of the meaning it once had.
A little more than thirty years ago Joan Didion reported, in Slouching Towards Bethlehem, on the Las Vegas wedding industry—which, she found, was not based solely on "the premise that marriage, like craps, is a game to be played when the table seems hot." She found instead that the Vegas wedding chapels, "with their wishing wells and stained-glass paper windows and their artificial bouvardia," were in fact selling "'niceness,' the facsimile of proper ritual, to children who do not know how else to find it."
Today's children do know where to find "proper ritual." They find it in a thousand showrooms and expos and trunk sales; they | {

you want an expensive sleeper berth.

On Sunday they have a buffet. Needless to

they cooked me roti, an additional Channa Masala and offered

At this time appellant advanced Sapritch $4,392.46, which amount was paid over to the Security First National Bank in full payment and satisfaction of its said indebtedness. The deed of trust was marked "Paid", as of January 31, 1935, and a letter written on February 1, 1935, to the Los Angeles Trust and Safe Deposit Company, the trustee, stated that the note and deed of trust were being sent to said trustee for cancellation. At the time that the $4,392.46 was paid over to the bank, Mr. Sapritch executed a writing authorizing the bank to forward the note, trust deed, and request for reconveyance to the appellant, Mr. Taylor. Through inadvertence, these papers were mailed to respondent Sapritch, who received | {

authorized and instructed to file for record this Full Reconveyance through this escrow."
Appellant did not pay any moneys into the escrow subsequent to February 1, 1935, with the one exception of a $25 payment, which was for title and escrow charges. During February, appellant made quite a number of visits to the Sapritch home, and the evidence shows without dispute that he made numerous requests for the note, deed of trust, etc., that had been mailed to respondent Sapritch by the bank. Sapritch never produced these papers for Taylor, and they have remained in Sapritch's possession ever since. The record shows that Taylor, his attorney, and two representatives from the bank informed Sapritch that they wanted the papers in order to complete the escrow. Mr. Sapritch testifiedthat Taylor wanted the papers only for the purpose of quieting title pursuant to foreclosure proceedings. However, on February 13, 1935, Sarkisian, attorney for Taylor, wrote to the respondents upon the instance of Taylor, stating in effect that Taylor was disappointed that respondents had refused to sign an agreement canceling the escrow. The letter also stated that unless the required agreement was received by the following Saturday, Taylor would take legal action in the matter. No further action was taken by appellant or respondents in furtherance of carrying out the escrow agreement, and appellant canceled the escrow on March 5, 1935, by letter of instruction to the Security First National Bank. On July 13, 1935, appellant, under his original deed of trust, *481 sold the real property, upon | {

performance upon his part. We are in accord with this view. The understanding was that appellant would advance sufficient funds to pay off the trust deed to the bank, which was a prior lien on the property in respect to his own deed of trust. He was to receive a new trust deed which was to be a first lien upon the property. Respondents wrote the bank directing that the canceled note and deed of trust and request for reconveyance relating to the indebtedness to the bank, be sent to appellant. By mistake, they were sent to respondents, who at all times refused to deposit them in escrow. Without them, it was impossible to close the escrow, as the agreement provided that the new trust deed to appellantthe persistence of mature characteristics through an increase in shoot plagiotropism with increasing ortet age. Rooted cuttings from both seedlings and epicormic shoots, however, assumed an increasingly orthotropic habit with a smaller shoot angle at the end of the first growing season than at the beginning and this continued into the second growing season. Other indications of maturation, such as delayed bud flushing and the incidence of flowering with increasing ortet age, were also evident in rooted cuttings from epicormic shoots. There was a clear difference in branching habit depending on cutting source. Rooted cuttings derived from epicormic shoots produced nearly twice as many lateral branches compared with rooted cuttings collected from seedlings, but this was not an effect of maturation.

The attacking duo both came through the ranks at United, and have gone on to become important parts of the first-team squad.
Rashford has already netted three goals in his six appearances across all competitions this term, the latest coming in the Reds’ 3-0 UEFA Champions League win over FC Basel on Tuesday night, while Lingard has provided one assist and looked sharp.

These tactical measures are necessary but not sufficient to deal with the source of the threat not only to Israel, but to all Western democracies
Stop The Re-Arming Of The Gaza Terrorists
President Obama pushed Israel into accepting a ceasefire arrangement with Hamas, which was engineered by Hamas’s Muslim Brotherhood patron, Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. Under the terms of the ceasefire, Israel is supposed to negotiate, through Egyptian intermediaries, an easing of border restrictions between Gaza and Israel. This would be the same Egyptian government that had sent its prime minister to Gaza to express solidarity with Hamas during the fighting. Hamas, on the other hand, is not required to give up its remaining stockpile of Iranian-supplied weapons, nor to commit to cease all further imports of Iranian missiles orintelligence officials believe that the vessel will be following a well-established sea route from Bandar Abbas to the Port of Sudan, from which arms are then smuggled through Sudan and Egypt via the Sinai Peninsula to Gaza.
Iran uses Sudan regularly as part of its terrorist arming campaign, leveraging a defense pact the two countries signed in 2008.
An arms factory in Sudan, reportedly used by Iran to manufacture arms for transit to Hamas, exploded last month as a result of what may have been an Israeli air strike. But the Iranian-Sudanese terrorist arms venture continues on. Libya has become another source of weapons smuggled to Gaza.

California National Bank is a corporation. Prior to October 5, 1935, Arthur Zellerbach, under written trust agreements, placed in trust 2,331 shares of the Class A preferred stock of the Crown Zellerbach Corporation, a corporation, and 11,665 shares of its common stock, reserving to himself the income from said trust estate and designating as the remaindermen of the corpus of said estate his nephews, the defendants, J. D. Zellerbach and Harold L. Zellerbach. On October 5, 1935, a written agreement was made and entered into between said Arthur Zellerbach, as first party, Philip S. Ehrlich, as second party, the said defendant Harold L. Zellerbach, as third party, the said defendant J. D. Zellerbach, as fourth party, the defendant I. Zellerbach, as fifth party, Dorothy Johnson Zellerbach, as sixthFrancisco was substituted in his stead. On February 10, 1937, Arthur Zellerbach assigned all of his interest in said accrued dividends to Harry I. Stafford. Arthur Zellerbach died on March 3, 1937. On February 13, 1937, Harry I. Stafford delivered to the Anglo California Bank of San Francisco and to Harold L. Zellerbach and J. D. Zellerbach, written notices of the assignment held by him. After proceedings duly and regularly had, commencing with February 9, 1937, and finally completed prior to the commencement of this action, the said Crown Zellerbach Corporation merged with Crown Willamette Paper Company and by virtue of *386 the merger agreement between said corporations, the original Crown Zellerbach Corporation Class A preferred stock was exchanged for stock in Crown Zellerbach Corporation, the merged corporation, | {

be ascertained therefrom, whether the trust described in paragraph 3 of plaintiff's second amended complaint was in existence at the time of the consummation of the merger between Crown Willamette Paper Company and Crown Zellerbach Corporation."
[1] It is alleged that Arthur Zellerbach placed his stock in a trust reserving to himself the income and designating his nephews as remaindermen. It is alleged that Arthur Zellerbach died March 3, 1937. Nothing to the contrary appearing, it may be assumed the remaindermen at the time of his death took the trust estate together with the income thereof. It is alleged that a merger between Crown Zellerbach Paper Company and Crown Zellerbach Corporation was effected. If so, it became material to know whether such merger was consummated prior or subsequentpaid in money but by the merger agreement the stockholders were given shares in the Crown Zellerbach Corporation in lieu of the payment of money. In other words, on the face of the pleading it appears the original contract between the stockholders of the Crown Zellerbach Corporation and the holders of the preferred stock thereof was modified by all parties in interest and to each stockholder shares to stock were issued for the accrued dividends. The parties anticipated such corporate action and *388 they inserted in the trust agreement that the dividends should be paid to the trustor "... no matter when or how such payment should be evidenced or made ...".

discussion is found regarding the power of courts over litigation which is vexatious, clearly without merit, and not brought in good faith. On page 576, the court quotes with approval: "On principle, I am of opinion that where you find a litigant like Mr. Edmonds, who will have recourse to such a series of vexatious and improper litigations as he has had recourse to, and, when a decision has been given against him, will persist in treating it as a mere nullity,--for he has considered the decision of the arbitrators as a nullity, he has considered my decision of January, 1876, a nullity, and he has considered the decision of Vice Chancellor Bacon, in February, 1877, a nullity,--when such a litigant is found I think it a moston trial. The demurrers of the defendants to the amended complaint made the same attacks. Again the plaintiff omitted to cure the defects when he filed his second amended complaint. The defendants repeated the same attacks. In pleading to the plantiff's original complaint the defendant Anglo California National Bank filed an answer. That answer, among other things, set forth the facts showing that the trust under which this plaintiff claims he derived his title terminated on March 3, 1937, the date of the death of Arthur Zellerbach, that the administration of said trust was completed on April 21, 1937, that the Anglo California National Bank, the trustee, paid down to the date of March 3, 1937, all of the dividends received under said trust as therein provided, and | {

and Demobilization of the Republic of New Africa, explained that “from my time in New York in Chicago, it is clear that organizations like the Nation of Islam occupy decent size areas in American cities. The idea of Black folk coming together thus does not seem that difficult to me.”
For the professor, also a faculty associate at the UM’s Center for Political Studies, “The Republic of New Africa actually had several innovative ways to seek territorial control. One involved something akin to electoral empowerment whereby Blacks would get individuals elected who would, in turn, deputize and otherwise bring in members of the RNA to govern. Another involved something akin to stepping into situations of state failure. Here, the RNA would find locales where the U.S. government has basicallyconstantly attacked by white society and white supremacy. We’ve never been left alone, so I think it is important for Black people to arm ourselves.”
