time to recruit a candidate to run in her place. Leftwich did not tell him she had already talked to the Republican leadership. Polling showed that, while Leftwich was popular in her district, if she did not run the seat would probably go to a Republican candidate. At the time, the political balance of the Senate was very close and the Republican majority hoped to add Leftwich's Senate district. ¶6 Representative Terrill was subcommittee chair of the Appropriations and Budget Committee for Public Safety and the Judiciary. In this position he had authority over the budget of several state agencies, including the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics (OBN) and the Medical Examiner. Terrill was involved from the outset in the plan for Leftwich to leave the Senate and return tothe Medical Examiner's office. Terrill originated the Transition Coordinator position; Tom Jordan did not ask for the position, but did not oppose it in principle. In late March or early April 2010, Terrill told Chad Alexander, a political consultant and lobbyist, that Leftwich might be returning to the Medical Examiner's office. On May 17, 2010, Terrill met with Jordan and Cherokee Ballard, an executive administrator and legislative liaison with the Medical Examiner's office. Before their conversation began, Terrill closed the door to his office suite and said, "This is dead man's talk." Terrill told Jordan and Ballard (a) that Jordan, as Chief Administrative Officer, would need to offer the Transition Coordinator position by July of that year, (b) the position needed to be filled the following January, and

the season. How will Mike Tomlin do in replacing Cowher? Will Big Ben return to his Super Bowl-winning form? How much of a loss will Joey Porter really be? Look for this team to be primed for a solid season and it is likely that they’ll sneak in to claim one of the two Wildcard slots in the AFC Playoffs after finishing second in the division to the Baltimore Ravens. Projected Finish 10 Wins, 6 Losses (2nd in the AFC North) Fantasy Spotlight During his first season as a starter, running back Willie Parker helped win a Super Bowl. In his 2nd year, he improved his rushing totals to 1494 yards and 13 touchdowns. It will be interesting to see what he’ll do to improve in 2007. With 4.3 speed and athe final game in OT. As far as Ben goes, this is his time to shine. He's been in the league 3 years now and he's ready to step up and be counted on by taking his game to the next level. He's healthy, excited and has a simplified yet more potent offense to work with surrounded by plenty of weapons. He's got the all the ingredients now he has to put it all together and lead this team like we need him too. There's a few sleepers on this team to watch. Dallas Baker is a big sleeper pick for me that I think has the potential to make a real impact on this team in the return game and as a 5th WR potentially. Not many 5 or

and from the start to the end of chemotherapy sessions. Research instrument The English language version of the study tracking tool was used. The accuracy of this instrument was assessed and validated by a series of reviews, verifications, and pilot tests performed by an expert panel. The tool included the time each specimen was sent to the laboratory, the time that the results of blood tests were available, the time the patient arrived at the unit, the time the chemotherapy order was sent to the pharmacy, the time required to dispense the chemotherapeutic agent, the time required for pre-medication, the required for chemotherapy administration, and the time for completion of chemotherapy. Measures and analyses Chemotherapy waiting times before and after the installation of the satellite laboratory were reported as mean ± standardof the stakeholders and multidisciplinary participation, with regular process evaluation and transparency of shared results \[[@REF14]\]. This study helped in improving patient experience by enhancing prompt and efficient care. Conclusions =========== Installation of a satellite laboratory significantly reduced the mean chemotherapy waiting time by about 50%. This intervention had a positive impact on the patient care process by reducing the length of waiting times from laboratory encounters to chemotherapy administrations. Staff members were less frustrated with their workloads, providing opportunities for the maximum utilization of hospital resources. After the end of the three-year study in 2015, the two administrators of our unit decided that the satellite laboratory in the oncology treatment unit should be permanent, as well as fully operational during business hours. Simultaneously, process guidelines and algorithms were modified to

Nov 27, 2019, 10:20PM IST Source: Times Now BJP MP Pragya Thakur hailed Nathuram Godse during a debate in Lok Sabha, triggering a protest from the opposition parties. The comment came when DMK MP A Raja was citing a statement of Godse on why he killed Mahatma Gandhi during a discussion on the Special Protection Group (Amendment) Bill. Raja said that Godse himself admitted that he had nursed a grudge against Bapu for 32 years before finally deciding to assassinate him. BJP MP's remark in Lok Sabha has been expunged from the record, as ordered by the Chairman.of thousands of people fleeing their homes as it is their only option to avoid being slaughtered,” said Dr. Joanne Liu, MSF international president, who recently returned from CAR. “There is a shocking lack of engagement and mobilization of political leaders in the UN Security Council, and a too-limited one from African countries and the African Union to address the violence that is literally tearing apart the Central African Republic.” Central African civilians of both of the main religious communities are being held hostage to violence instigated by armed groups who bear primary responsibility for the atrocities. Since December 5, MSF teams have treated over 3,600 wounded in the capital and around the country. This includes gunshot, grenade, machete, knife, and other violent trauma. “When I was in Bozoum, we

join the EU. Physics is mainly done at the IJS and at the University of Ljubljana. Smaller centers of physics exist at the University of Maribor and the University of Nova Gorica, which was established in 1995. The Society of Mathematicians, Physicists and Astronomers of Slovenia focuses on pedagogical activities. Slovenia is home to the Krško Nuclear Power Plant, the only one in the former Yugoslavia. Operational since 1981, the 700 MW plant supplies 25% of Slovenia’s electricity and 15% of Croatia’s. Physicists from the IJS work at the plant, but in supporting and educational roles rather than in research. After gaining independence in 1991, Slovenia opened up to the world. It joined CERN, ITER, and the European Space Agency. Pre-war cooperation with physicists in other Yugoslav republicsThe US-brokered Dayton Agreement of 1995 divided the republic into two entities, the largely Serb-populated Republika Srpska and the largely Bosniak- and Croat-populated Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The two entities are further divided into 10 autonomous cantons. No well-functioning state-level science institutions exist in BiH, as each entity and each canton sets its own science policies. Universities in BiH are now administered locally. Before Dayton there were four—in Sarajevo, Banja Luka, Tuzla, and Mostar. Now there are 8 state and 35 private ones. Nenad Tanović, a physicist at the University of Sarajevo, notes that physics in BiH was never as strong as in Croatia, Slovenia, and Serbia. Even the country’s premier physics center, University of Sarajevo’s department of physics, has struggled because, says Tanović, “there were no

After serving 15 years of his 30-year sentence, Jackson was paroled from state custody on March 12, 2014. Upon his release from state custody, he was transferred to federal custody and began serving his federal sentence. In May 2014, Jackson requested that the district court credit his federal sentence for the 15 years he served in state custody. In June 2014, the district court granted in part Jackson’s request and ordered that Jackson’s federal sentences for 87 months of imprisonment on the armed bank robbery convictions run concurrently to the discharged state court sentence but that the sentences for theof Candidacy in violation of 26 O.S.2001, § 16-108, in the District Court of Oklahoma County, Case No. CF-2010-8067.1 The Honorable Cindy H. Truong sentenced Leftwich to one (1) year imprisonment, suspended, with the provision that she is prohibited from running for office in the State of Oklahoma or seeking employment with the State. Leftwich waived for appeal all issues except the legal issues surrounding the terms "candidate" and "withdraw". Leftwich appeals from this conviction and sentence, and raises three propositions of error in support of her appeal. ¶2 Leftwich, a Democrat, represented Senate District 44 in the Oklahoma State Senate, serving a term which ended in November 2010.

Brandy further testified that Decker appeared to be slurring his speech, but admitted that she was unaware of whether his speech was usually slurred. She refused to opine as to whether she believed Decker was intoxicated. Jason Mabbitt, a paramedic with San Marcos EMS, testified that he arrived on the scene after Decker had been placed in the back seat of a police car. He treated a cut on Decker’s hand. He observed that Decker was “alert and oriented to person, place, time andevents.” According to Mabbit, Decker’s speech was slurred and Mabbit smelled alcohol on his breath. He asked Decker if he had consumed any alcohol, to which Decker replied, “No comment.” Mabbit did not, however, form an opinion as to whether Decker was intoxicated. Rudy Mesa, a police officer with the City of San Marcos, was at a gas station when he was approached by Holland, who reported an accident. Mesa also received information from dispatch regarding the location of the vehicles involved in the accident. When he arrived at the scene where the vehicles had pulled over, he spoke to the Charltons and Decker. As Mesa was speaking with Decker, he detected an odor of alcohol on his breath. Mesa asked

election officials, voting rights advocates who heard from people who never received a ballot, and Reuters interviews with more than a dozen Wisconsin residents who were unable to vote. Conservative-leaning courts overturned a decree by Wisconsin’s Democratic Governor Tony Evers to postpone the election and extend absentee voting. Evers issued a statewide stay-at-home order on March 25 to combat the virus, which has killed more than 14,000 people nationwide, at least 95 of them in Wisconsin. The drama in Wisconsin foreshadows legal battles and political showdowns looming in upcoming primaries across the country, and heading into the all-important November presidential election, as the worst public health crisis in a century upends voting, Democratic officials, non-partisan voter advocates and election watchdogs say.

love Sony as a company. Sony was once a pioneer in the electronics industry. The founders of Sony got their start by building shortwave radio conversion kits in WWII, so people stuck without information in war-torn Japan could get news from International sources. Later, Sony developed one of the first transistorized radios, the first consumer VCR's, and some of the earliest portable TV sets. In short, Sony was one of the most important electronics companies of the 20'th Century. Now, they're throwing that legacy away with overpriced hardware and this kind of legal practice.

had no objection.[12] A deep gouge mark in the pavement was made during the collision; this main gouge mark was about a foot inside the eastbound lane and angled westward toward the center line.  That is, the westernmost point of the gouge mark was closest to the center line.  Marshek opined that prior to the accident the gravel truck had crossed the center line and was either totally or partially in the Yukon=s lane, the westbound lane of traffic.  He said that the gravel truck was in the process of returning to its proper lane, traveling into the eastbound lane at the angle represented by the main gouge mark in the road.  According to Marshek, when the collision occurred, the truck portion of the gravel truck was back in its proper lane, but the trailer was still at least partially acrossslid down the side of the gravel truck=s fully-loaded 84,000 pound trailer, the Yukon was forced into traveling at the same angle that the trailer was traveling in its return to the eastbound lane.[14]  Photos offered into evidence show maroon or red paint from the Yukon on the trailer=s tires and black rubber from the trailer=s tires down the entire left side of the Yukon.  According to Marshek, the gouge mark establishes the direction that the trailer was traveling at the time of the accident, that being at an angle from the westbound lane back into its proper, eastbound lane. Photos of the scene showed that the gravel truck made skid marks as it pulled over and stopped on the shoulder.  Measurements established that the skid marks began 128 feet from the alleged point of impactCthe gouge markCand that the total

SNETZLER, JOHN or JOHANN (1710?–1774?), organ-builder, was born about 1710 at Passau in Germany, where some of his work as organ-builder is still standing. He settled in England when the trade was in the hands of Byfield, Jordan, and Bridges, separate firms acting in practical partnership (Burney, iii. 436–41). Snetzler's organ built in 1754 for the church of Lynn Regis, Norfolk, gained him great repute (specification in Grove'sDictionary, ii. 597). His organs for Halifax (1766) and St. Martin's, Leicester (1774), were excellently built, while that supplied to Sir John Danvers at Swithland was described by Gardiner, thirty years afterwards, as a specimen of Snetzler's great talents. Saturated with damp and covered with dust, it was still in tune and playable condition (Music and Friends, i. 166). Having saved sufficientmoney, he returned to his native country; but, after being ‘so long accustomed to London porter and English fare,’ he found German surroundings uncongenial, and returned to London. Letters of naturalisation were granted him on 12 April 1770 (Home Office Papers, p. 161). He died after 1773, in which year he acted as executor to his friend Burkat Shudi the elder (Grove, iii. 489).

have made a hard right back into its own lane to avoid the Yukon, and that the Yukon nevertheless then sideswiped the gravel truckCabout a foot inside the gravel truck=s laneCat the second axle of the rig, careened along the side of the trailer, struck its fourth axle, and then spun into the path of the F-250 pickup truck.  The F-250 broadsided the Yukon, killing all but one occupant.     As the majority notes, it was the opinion of Appellees= expert, Dr. Marshek, based upon the angle of the two and one-half foot long gouge mark on the gravel truck=s side of the road, that the gravel truck was returning to its lane of travel at the angle represented by the gouge mark when it was struck by the Yukon.  Acknowledging that the gouge mark was made by theYukon, not the gravel truck, Dr. Marshek attempted to show that the mark=s angle reflected the angle of the gravel truck because the truck was the larger and more dominant force, so that the Yukon would have taken on the angle of the gravel truck as it collided with the truck.  In his opinion, the gravel truck=s angle of travel necessarily lined up with the angle of the gouge mark, which indicated to him that the truck was coming back from the wrong lane at the moment of impact.   Five eyewitnesses were in vehicles traveling in the vicinity of the accident, including the gravel truck driver, the driver of a vehicle that turned off the road a half mile in front of the gravel truck, and three occupants of two other vehicles traveling behind the gravel truck immediately before

On this raid, one of the bound survivors is spotted taking a ring from his finger and swallowing it so as to keep the pirates from having it. The pirate captain calls one of his men over and tells him of the foolish deed and motions him to retrieve the ring. The pirate pulls out a knife, goes offscreen to the victim and returns with a very bloodied knife and right hand, and he presents the ring in his left hand to the captain! BAD...ASS!!!

to significant public disturbances and subsequent media coverage. This paper reports on the current views and knowledge of young people (university students) in this region about waste management operations and facilities, specifically the siting of landfills and incinerators. By means of a structured questionnaire, opinion and knowledge were systematically examined by degree type and course year. The study took place in 2011 at the University of Salerno campus. A sample of 900 students, comprising 100 students for each of the nine considered faculties, and 20 students for every academic course year, was randomly selected. Only about a quarter of respondents were not opposed to the siting of a landfill or an incinerator in their city. This clearly highlights that historic opposition to the construction of waste facilities isprocess that resulted in the establishment of the Heavy Section Steel Technology (HSST) Program at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).

In 1989, the Heavy-Section Steel Irradiation (HSSI) Program, formerly the HSST task on irradiation effects, was formed as a separate program, and this year the HSST/HSSI Programs, sponsored by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC), celebrate 40 years of continuous research oriented toward the safety of light-water nuclear reactor pressure vessels. This paper presents a summary of results from those programs with a view to future activities. The HSST Program was established in 1967

The report says (and echoes the sentiments of many civilian infosec professionals) that the DHS approach on vuln mitigation is nothing but a losing strategy. "The nature of cybersecurity threats -- and the ability of adversaries to continuously develop new tools to defeat network defenses -- means that DHS's strategy for cybersecurity, which focuses primarily on vulnerability mitigation, will not protect the nation from the most sophisticated attacks and cybersecurity threats." The report advises, For cybersecurity, DHS's first job should be to set an example by becoming a model of effective cybersecurity and assisting OMB [DHS Office of Management and Budget] with its oversight oflater." The "Missions and Performance" report details a legacy of Federal breaches and nation-state attacks, which isn't reassuring under our current circumstances.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) stored sensitive cybersecurity details for nuclear plants on an unprotected shared drive, making them more vulnerable to theft.

initially introduced in 2010, SB 738 changed the characteristics of the Board governing the Medical Examiner's office, made other administrative changes, and provided that the office should move to a newly constructed building in Edmond, near the University of Central Oklahoma campus and its forensic facilities. The bill did not include a Transition Coordinator position at that time, and that position was not a priority for either Senate President Pro Tem Glenn Coffee or House Speaker Chris Benge. ¶5 In late March or mid-April 2010, Leftwich told her friend Tom Jordan, Chief Administrative Officer for the Medical Examiner, that she would not run for reelection and wanted to come back to the Medical Examiner's office. She said that this was not public knowledge, and told Jordan that State RepresentativeMike Christian might run for her Senate seat. In March of 2010, Leftwich went to see Senate Pro Tem Coffee and told him she was considering not running for reelection; she did not mention returning to the Medical Examiner's office. On April 19, Leftwich told Senator Patrick Anderson, a Republican, that she was working on a deal with his leadership to go back to work for the Medical Examiner, but that she could not talk about it. Around May 1st Leftwich told Senator Charlie Laster, minority leader of the Senate Democrats, that she was not going to run; he was shocked because she was at that time raising money and, in his opinion, running for reelection. Laster asked Leftwich not to make a public announcement until he had

At least a dozen of Mark Halperin's former colleagues have reportedly come forward with sexual harassment allegations. In a new allegation that emerged Friday, a woman claimed that Halperin masturbated behind his desk while staring at her. Halperin denied some of the claims and issued a qualified apology, but admitted he felt "profound guilt and responsibility." At least a dozen of journalist Mark Halperin's former colleagues have come forward with startling sexual harassment allegations, including one accuser who alleged Halperin masturbated behind his desk while staring at her, according to a CNN report Friday. Halperin, who was dismissed from his roles at NBC and MSNBC this week after the sexual harassment claims first surfaced, was accused of the lewd acts from women who worked with him at ABC News. One of the fournew claims reported on Friday by CNN's Oliver Darcy included one accuser who worked as an ABC News desk assistant in the late 1990s. The accuser, who CNN reported was her early 20s at the time, asked to meet with Halperin for career advice and went into his office after 10 p.m. While the two were talking, she told CNN, Halperin began masturbating behind his wooden desk while he stared at her. "I sat in a chair across from him," she said to CNN. "He was behind a wooden desk so I couldn't see him from the waist down. As we had our conversation about my career he was masturbating. There was no question about it." "I pretended like I didn't know what was going on and we talked a

researching JPS and eventually learned about the deaths of Lettie McGhee and Charles O=Keefe, former JPS patients.  Through their research, which included discussions with family members of McGhee and O=Keefe, they learned that Dr. Grotti had allegedly removed McGhee from a life support system without consulting McGhee=s family and that O=Keefe had died from a morphine overdose while under Dr. Grotti=s care. Beginning in the summer of 2001, Williams and Shucker investigated numerous reports and allegations involving Dr. Grotti and the circumstances surrounding the deaths of McGhee and O=Keefe as part of their continuing investigation into JPS, including the following: Texas Department of Health Report:  Williams and Shucker obtained a Texas Department of Health (ATDH@) report that concluded in part that the ICU physician (Dr. Grotti) had disconnected McGhee from a ventilator and discontinued life-sustaining drugs without first speaking with McGhee=s spouse orwere conducting a Aserious investigation@ of Dr. Grotti and her involvement in the deaths of McGhee and O=Keefe.  Williams conducted an on-camera interview with a FWPD lieutenant confirming this fact. Independent Prosecutor:  In the summer of 2001, Williams and Shucker learned that an independent prosecutor had been appointed to handle the criminal prosecution against Dr. Grotti.  Both had conversations with the special prosecutor in which he confirmed that there was a homicide investigation of Dr. Grotti. JPS Investigation:  During their investigation, Williams and Shucker also learned that JPS, through a peer review committee, was investigating Dr. Grotti for her involvement in the deaths of McGhee and O=Keefe.  JPS ultimately suspended Dr. Grotti from the hospital in June 2001, just before WFAA=s first broadcast in which Dr. Grotti was mentioned.

and created a candidate committee for her reelection to her Senate seat. From 2007 through 2010, Leftwich solicited contributions for and made expenditures from her campaign fund for her reelection campaign; over the course of that time she raised about $110,000.00. As late as April 2010, she authorized and attended a fundraiser for her campaign. However, on May 28, 2010, the last day of the legislative session, Leftwich issued a press release announcing that she would not run for reelection in 2010. This prosecution is the consequence of the actions which preceded that announcement. Both defendants below argued that their actions were part of the normal, messy legislative process. After a thorough review of the record, we agree with the preliminary hearing magistrate that "when the evidence ishad lost accreditation, had outgrown its outmoded facility, and had lost several agency heads and employees in a short amount of time. Governor Henry had commissioned a report on the office, known as the Cline Report; the legislature had also studied the agency. Senate Bill 738, which proposed reforms for the office, was introduced in 2009. Fixing the Medical Examiner's office was a priority, and SB 738 was a leadership bill, meaning that it was sponsored by the President Pro Tem of the Senate and the Speaker of the House. The bill did not pass in 2009 and was reintroduced in 2010. Senator Anthony Sykes handled the bill for the Pro Tem in the Senate, and Representative Randall Terrill handled it for the Speaker of the House. As

of their boats; so to abate the nuisance they hove the guns overboard on to the beach, where they were speedily buried in sand or shingle, while the appliances were carried off by those who had other uses for them than their country's defence. The vessels thus armed, moreover, were always at sea, the men never at home. When it was desired to practise them in the raising of the sluice-gates which, in the event of invasion, were to convert Romney Marsh into an inland sea, no efforts availed to get together sufficient men for the purpose. Immune from the press by reason of their newly created status of Sea-Fencibles, they were all elsewhere, following their time-honoured vocations of fishing and smuggling with industry and gladness of heart. As a means of repelling invasion the Popham scheme was farcicalhead, provided they did not prove fatal. The accident "disagreeable" was peculiar to pressing. It consisted in the killing of a man, by whatever means and in whatever manner, whilst endeavouring to press him, and the immediate effect of the act, which was common enough, was to set up a remarkable contradiction in terms. The man killed was not the victim of the accident. The victim was the officer or gangsman who was responsible for striking him off the roll of His Majesty's pressable subjects, and who thus let himself in for the consequences, more or less disagreeable, which inevitably followed. While it was naturally the ambition of every officer engaged in pressing "to do the business without any disagreeable accident ensuing," he preferred, did fate ordain it otherwise, that the accident should happen at sea rather than on land, since

ransacked countless abandoned villages but with nothing to show for it except for a few cattle and meagre quantities of stores.73 The English hated being in Castile for much the same reasons as the French had hated Scotland. Their letters home were full of bile against the land to which they had come. Castile, they said according to Froissart's informants, 'was not a profitable land to fight in like France, with its prosperous villages, serene countryside, beautiful rivers and fine houses.' There was nothing but rocks and crags, harsh desiccating winds, muddy rivers, undrinkable wine and a devious population of half-naked peasants. Opportunities to take prisoners and loot in a country claimed by their commander as his own were necessarily limited. Even the Duke of Lancaster was beginningplans. The summit meeting of the two sovereigns was silently abandoned. The men who had helped to set it up were pursued with particular savagery and those who had found safe havens abroad were excluded from the general pardon which closed the proceedings, even down to the minor messengers and clerks who had acted as go-betweens. Philip of Burgundy had written to the Duke of Gloucester from Compiègne three days before the battle of Radcot Bridge to remind him of recent diplomatic proposals and to ask what was going on. His letter was not even answered.31 As the proceedings of the Merciless Parliament ground on, however, it became clear that the Commons were not prepared to pay for the warlike ambitions of Gloucester and Arundel from public taxation. They

gaining support from a portion of the population. Over time, ethnic, tribal and sectarian polarization drove new violence, weakened both states, strengthened insurgents and magnified civilian suffering. The lesson: Be skeptical of concepts that divorce war from its political nature, particularly those that promise fast, cheap victory through technology. Second, war is human. People fight today for the same fundamental reasons the Greek historian Thucydides identified nearly 2,500 years ago: fear, honor and interest. But in the years preceding our last two wars, thinking about defense undervalued the human as well as the political aspects of war. Although combat operations unseated the Taliban and the Saddam Hussein regime, a poor understanding of the recent histories of the Afghan and Iraqi peoples undermined efforts to consolidate early battlefield gains intovictory. Concepts of “network-centric warfare,” “rapid, decisive operations,” “shock and awe” and “full-spectrum dominance” suggested that near-perfect intelligence would enable precise military operations and point a straight line to success. But in Afghanistan and Iraq, planning did not account for adaptations and initiatives by the enemy. American forces, deployed initially in insufficient numbers to keep pace with the evolution of those conflicts, struggled to maintain security. The lesson: The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, like all wars, were contests of will that unleashed dynamics that made future events impossible to predict. Fortunately, in Afghanistan and Iraq, American forces adapted. For example, in 2005, in western Nineveh Province, our enemies had pitted sectarian communities against one another in a bloody civil war. In the city of Tal Afar, our cavalry

hundred or so meters to fall. That meant she would have about seven seconds before slamming into either one of those boulders at the bottom or into the ocean water. Both targets would break her small body without much trouble. Very likely lethal, and if it wasn't she might just end up drowning or dying of the injuries anyway. Ah, she thought! So I'm perfectly safe, then. A jounin wouldn't possible want the death of a genin on their hands. It was a good thing, too, since she couldn't use wall walking to simply stick to the cliff face. After approximately three seconds of thought she resigned herself to fate. She placed absolute trust in the jounin to save her. As the air roaring past her ears deafened her,A practiced hand whipped to her side belt and unhooked a trusty shoge, basically a fancy hook on the end of a chain. The odds of successfully hooking the cliff at this velocity weren't great, but what was important not that she succeeded. As long as she tried, that would undoubtedly prove to Choei she was learning. Then he could save her if she failed, so it would all work out one way or another. A deft flick of her hand launched the hook, which disappeared from her sight as it clinked up against the dark cracks of the cliff. With only dozens of meters to spare the shoge clattered across the rocks and stuck fast against one of the many outcroppings. The chain at her belt pulled taut

Which areas of the city will be located within the map's boundaries? Which attractions will be marked – and which will not? Even fictional maps can be interrogated to tell us more about the world they intend to portray. The queens' maps This season of Game of Thrones has seen maps rise to a new prominence. As the two queens, Cersei and Daenerys, vie for control of the Seven Kingdoms they are both consulting enormous maps. The real biggest disagreement in #GameOfThrones now: who has the best map, Dany or Cercei? 🙃🙃 While the reigning queen of Westeros, Cersei Lannister, has commissioned an intricately painted floor map, her rival owns a topographical model carved out of rock. Glossy appearances versus stony practicalities, perhaps. Daenerys' map was first seen with Stannis Baratheon andbuilt by Aegon the Great – Daenerys's ancestor who became the first Lord of the Seven Kingdoms. J B Harley was interested in the "silences" in maps – the elements or places that are left off. Looking at the two queens' maps, Cersei includes only one of the three main continents in this fictional world – Westeros – but not Essos or Sothoryos. Daenerys's inherited map is also of Westeros, despite the fact that she has spent the previous six series in Essos. This places the seventh – and penultimate – series as a battle for Westeros and is reflected in the opening sequence which in recent episodes has not travelled east to Essos. We will have to wait to see which queen will become the ruler of Westeros (if

TORONTO – How’s this for a change: a pro club complaining about releasing its players for Canadian national team duty? Usually it’s the other way around, with Canada crying foul over teams pulling all sorts of chicanery to prevent its players from representing their country. But Toronto FC is not too happy with the Canadian Soccer Association, with coach Ryan Nelsen and club president Kevin Payne publicly rebuking the organization over what it feels is a lack of co-operation. TFC hosts Real Salt Lake on Saturday at BMO Field, but will then lose starters Doneil Henry and Jonathan Osorio – as well as Kyle Bekker and Ashtone Morgan – for next Wednesday’s home game against the Montreal Impact. Those four players have been called up by the Canadian national team to competeat the CONCACAF Gold Cup, which runs from July 7-28 in the United States. FIFA rules stipulate that players have to be released five days before the start of the tournament, which means TFC has to release the four players one day before the match against Montreal. Nelsen and Payne said they have asked the CSA if they could hold onto two of the four players – any two – for an extra day and let them join the national team after the Impact game. Thus far the CSA has not been very accommodating, according to Nelsen. “Other teams are complaining about (losing) one player. Well, we’ve got four. Unfortunately, it’s the (situation) we’re in: We develop them and we give them their opportunities more than any other clubs and then

"watch out!", to warn Peters. Both men ran. Gurley heard gunfire. He looked back and saw everyone running except Garrett and Day. Gurley saw Garrett aim the gun at him and saw Day shoot at Peters. Gurley continued to run until he reached the house of his cousin's girlfriend. Gurley later left the house and went home. There he was told that Peters had been shot. The next morning he learned Peters died. Gurley then called the police. Chicago police detective Hugh Conwell responded and brought Gurley to the police station. Gurley told Detective Conwell what happened at the liquor store and named the assailants. He described Garrett as a black male, six feet one inch tall, weighing 200 to 225 pounds,and Day as a bowlegged black male, six feet tall, weighing 180 pounds. Gurley testified that he was called to the station twice. On September 4, 1990, he viewed a lineup and identified Day as one of the shooters. On September 10, 1990, he was shown a photo array and identified Garrett as one of the shooters. Kenneth Jamison testified that he and a friend were driving northbound on Laramie Avenue at 1:30 a.m. on September 1, 1990. He heard gunshots and saw people running. When he reached the intersection of Laramie and Lake Streets he saw Peters stumble into the street and fall down. Jamison's passenger, Dwayne Jones, left the car to aid Peters. As

the collision. Not a single one of those witnesses saw the gravel truck in the wrong lane, as Dr. Marshek described.  It is his testimony alone that places the gravel truck over in the Yukon=s lane of travel.  Dr. Marshek simply rejected the testimony of the four totally disinterested witnesses as well as the gravel truck driver, and Appellees unfairly discredited the gravel truck driver by improper and highly prejudicial proof that he was an illegal alien.  For these reasons, among others,  I would hold that this judgment cannot stand.                             Reliability of Dr. Marshek=s Testimony I disagree for at least three reasons with the majority=s conclusion that Dr. Marshek=s testimony meets the requirement of reliability for admissibility.  First, there was no evidence Dr. Marshek followed any recognized protocol or methodology accepted in the field of accident reconstruction in making his assumptionsor reaching his conclusions.  Second, his conclusions were based upon critical assumptions unsupported by evidence.  Third, his assumptions and conclusions varied materially from the physical evidence and testimony.    Dr. Marshek testified he used standard times for braking, steering reaction times, and speeds as recorded by the Ablack boxes@ of the vehicles for the five seconds prior to impact to determine the pre-impact travel paths of the Yukon and gravel truck.  But the record is devoid of evidence that Dr. Marshek conducted any calculations, tests, or methodology recognized in the field of accident reconstruction in assuming that the gouge mark was the point of first impact from which to measure his distances and determine the locations of the vehicles before impact.  Likewise, Dr. Marshek cited no methodology or calculations for his conclusion that the gouge mark angle showed the angle of the gravel

Joey Lawrence, Wife Expecting Second Daughter Joey Lawrence and his wife Chandi Yawn-Nelson are expecting their second child, the actor tells PEOPLE exclusively. Due April 3, the baby will be another girl, joining "very excited" big sister Charleston, 3 ½. "I am Estrogen Man," laughs Lawrence. "I'm from a family of all boys, and when I told my best friend Dave that my wife and I were having a second girl, he said, 'Look at you, my best buddy Estrogen Man!'" The latest addition to the Lawrence family will be named Liberty Grace, the actor shares. The first name "is something I've always loved," Lawrence, 33, explains, while Grace is in honor of his grandmother, who passed away earlier this year. While they're awaiting Liberty's arrival, Lawrence and wife Chandie – whom hewed in July 2005 – will be working with the Hot Moms Club to design their dream nursery. It will appear in Pregnancy magazine next year, along with a giveaway of a matching nursery.

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court won't hear an atheist's latest challenge to the U.S. government's references to God. The court on Monday refused to hear an appeal from Michael Newdow, who says government references to God are unconstitutional and infringe on his religious beliefs. This appeal dealt with the inscription of the national motto "In God We Trust" on U.S. coins and currency. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco says the phrase is ceremonial and patriotic and "has nothing whatsoever to do with the establishment of religion." The court refused to hear Newdow's appeal of that decision. "In God We Trust" was first put on U.S. coins in the 1860s and on paper currency in the 1950s. The case is Newdow v. Lefevre, 10-893.at the start of each game.

Mole grabbed the gun and the last bottle, sprinting to the door. One bullet struck him in the leg and caused him to scream out in pain, but he didn't dare stop; the alcohol had numbed his brain well enough to dull the shock coursing through him.

charged two Albuquerque officers with murder in the 2014 shooting death of James Boyd, a homeless man with schizophrenia. In October 2016, a Bernalillo County jury ultimately deadlocked on the charges against the officers. In 2017, newly elected District Attorney Raúl Torrez decided not to seek a retrial. In 2014, Boyd’s family sued the Albuquerque police department. In 2015, Albuquerque agreed to pay the family $5 million to settle the lawsuit. That same year, the U.S. Department of Justice concluded an investigation into the Albuquerque police. As a result of that investigation, the department agreed to make several changes including better reporting of use of force incidents, more oversight, new guidelines for uses of force and increased training for officers.

the Austin home sometime in 1986, and began to stay there. When he was in Dallas during the last months of 1986, he stayed at another residence because their Dallas home was vacant and for sale. Howell introduced two returns of service of citation in which two deputy constables stated they had attempted service on the Mauzys at their Dallas residence on October 17th and 20th, but that the house was vacant and for sale. Based on the above summary of the evidence, we conclude there is some evidence that in October 1986, the Mauzys were in the process of moving their residence from Dallas County to Travis County. If a defendant is in the process of moving from one county to another, and his affairs are in such a state that it is uncertainwrit). Based on the entire record, we conclude there is some evidence that both Mauzys maintained a residence in Travis County at the time Howell filed suit. We overrule Howell's first and second points of error. PLEA IN ABATEMENT In points of error three through eight, Howell contends the trial court erred in overruling his plea in abatement. As grounds for the plea, Howell asserted the pendency of the Dallas lawsuit that he had filed five days before the Austin lawsuit. After a hearing on the plea, the trial court overruled the plea in abatement on two grounds: (1) Howell was estopped to assert the pendency of the Dallas lawsuit; and (2) Howell had abandoned the Dallas lawsuit.

sale of her cherished personal items; her failure to tell her family and friends that her move to Australia was conditional; her statement to family and friends on the day before she departed that "[t]his is our last night in the U.S.;" and her completion of permanent residency applications for herself and Gabi. We find that the district court properly considered this conduct and correctly determined that "much of this evidence is equivocal as these actions would be appropriate even if Kristina and the Children were planning on living in Australia temporarily, as per the Custody Order, or on a trial basis." J.A. 363. Andrew also places great emphasis on the letters that Gabi received from teachers and friends with statements wishing her good luck "on her new lifein Australia," and saying "goodbye," "good luck," and "I will miss you." The district court also considered this evidence in its analysis and properly concluded that the weight that Andrew places on these letters is undermined by the fact that Kristina sought permission from Gabi's school to allow her to miss the first portion of the spring semester and return to school in March. Moreover, the district court appropriately determined that the following facts support the conclusion that Kristina intended that the move to Australia would be conditional: Kristina left many possessions behind in North Carolina; Kristina reserved round trip tickets for herself and the children; Kristina and the children traveled with Australian tourist visas that limited their stay in Australia to three months; and Kristina maintained her local

The parents were invited to a meeting in the school, during which a dental examination of the participating children was performed and parents were asked to self-complete three questionnaires on their child: one measuring general HRQoL (PedsQL™4.0 Generic Core scale for toddlers), and two on OHRQoL (ECOHIS and PedsQL Oral Health). In addition, the parents completed a structured questionnaire to compile information on the child's age, gender, socioeconomic status, history of oral hygiene habits, as well as their overall and dental health status. We sent by regular mail the questionnaires to parents who did not attend the meeting. Three experienced researchers performed the dental examinations in the classroom.

Latino enclaves in 1980s. In the 1990s and 2000s, the share of whites in these neighborhoods increased, and the share of Latinos decreased. “Stable white” (white): These neighborhoods contained predominantly white residents in the 40 years after the Civil Rights Act was passed, and have started to diversify in recent years. Here are screenshots of the interactive maps Bader created based on the above categories: New York Chicago Los Angeles Houston Bader’s analysis predicts that, in the next two decades, many of the neighborhoods in the pale green (“steady black succession”), navy blue (“Latino enclaves”), royal blue (“early Latino growth, white decline”), teal (“early Latino growth, black decline”), sky blue (“recent Latino growth”), and pink (Asian growth) categories are the ones where a single racial group will become dominant over time. Here’s Bader on thatReliability of self-reported age at onset of major depression. Reliability of self-reported age at onset of major depressive disorder was studied in a sample of 335 subjects who were ascertained from a large epidemiologic survey conducted in several U.S. communities and who were interviewed blindly at two different times. Reliability was generally good for these subjects who met DSM-III criteria for depression at two interviews. A large proportion of the variability in the difference of test-retest values can be accounted for by recency of last episode of depression and interactions of age with duration of illness, having been treated for a mental health problem, and comorbidity of other mental disorders. Interactions between duration and comorbidity and between geographic region and treatment were also significant. Contrary to previous studies which

In addition to these he had inherited from his mother a substantial block of territory between the valleys of the Tarn and the Agout, north-east of Toulouse, including much of the southern Albigeois. Most of Gaston Phoebus's territories were mountainous and poor. But they produced large numbers of hardy mountain troops for his armies. His demesne revenues were small, but he waxed rich on the profits of his wars and the patronage of the free companies. He learned quicker than most French noblemen of his time that cash had become a sounder investment than land. His accumulating chests of coin enabled him to engage in a lucrative traffic in prisoners of war and to lend money at interest to needy princes and captainssummer, after the delegates at Rodez had dispersed, there was a co-ordinated French offensive against the Gascon march north and south of the Dordogne. In Saintonge Marshal Sancerre siezed Jarnac, then the only remaining English-held town on the Charente, and marched on Blaye and Saint-Emilion, the major English strongholds on the north shore of the Gironde. He failed to take either town. But, while Sir John Harpeden rushed reinforcements to the Gironde, Armagnac invaded the Agenais by the valley of the Lot at the head of a large army of cavalry and mounted crossbowmen.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said the incident was 'too appalling for words'. The newspaper states that roughly 20 people thought to be inside the Kyoto Animation building are missing. Residents told reportersthat they heard an explosion in the studio and then saw the fire. A man working nearby told NHK he was in his office when an explosion went off at around 10.30am.

Up to 30 fire engines have been sent to the scene to tackle the blaze. The injured suspect is receiving treatment in hospital, according to NHK.

Oversight Committee and chair of its National Security Subcommittee, told the Free Beacon last week that these leaks appear to have come from former senior officials, potentially including Ben Rhodes, the Obama national security adviser responsible for creating what he described as an in-house "echo chamber" meant to mislead the public and Congress about the landmark Iran nuclear deal. "I think Congress and some members on the Intelligence Committee can call Ben Rhodes to testify," DeSantis said. "He may be able to invoke executive privilege from when Obama was president, but he definitely can't do that in any interactions he's had since then." DeSantis identified Rhodes and other senior Obama administration officials as being "involved with feeding journalists some of these [leaks].

Our View: Pinehurst soldiers on Thursday Sep 14, 2017 at 12:01 AM At first glance, it might seem as though Pinehurst School District is an expensive luxury for the handful of families it serves. But a closer look reveals that the tiny school on the Greensprings is much more than the sum of its per-student spending. And Pinehurst parents and the community are doing their share to keep it going. One of the smallest districts in the state, Pinehurst operates one elementary school serving, this fall, 16 students from preschool through fifth grade. The middle-school component was phased out in 2015. In per-student terms, Pinehurst spends well above the state average for public schools. In the 2014-15 school year, for instance, the district spent $19,209 per student, while the state average was $10,302.case was based on the elimination of the grounds for appointment of Cornuaud—the State’s intention to seek the death penalty in the circumstance Trotman was found guilty.             Trotman also relies on Stotts in support of his contention that the trial court erred in rescinding Cornuaud’s appointment.  The Stotts case is likewise distinguished from the facts presented here.  In Stotts, the defendant’s only attorney was removed on an arbitrary basis without good cause; the removal was tantamount to leaving the defendant without an attorney.  In fact, Stotts holds that, “absent a principled reason apparent from the record, a trial judge does not have discretion to replace appointed trial counsel over objection of both counsel and the defendant.”  Stotts, 894 S.W.2d at 368.  In this case, Trotman continued to be represented by Wilkerson, an attorney who had been assigned to his case for

Regarding the second warrant, the court found that the police officer had applied to the magistrate for a warrant on the grounds: that the Asset Forfeiture Unit had ordered the seizure of certain cash known or suspected to be in the applicant's possession; that the possibility existed that cash had been generated from the commission of crimes; and that, despite an undertaking to do so, the applicant had failed to account to the police for the source of the money. The court held that it was clear that the only document relied upon by the police officer in her application for the warrant was her own undated and unattested "affidavit."

Republic, Honduras or Mexico. The tobacco leaves are first sewn into a string and attached 12 pairs to a wooden lath. Most of the sewers are women; working at a steady pace, they carefully lift the leaves by the thick stems and hold them in the path of the sewing machines. As each lath is filled, it is passed up to the hanging racks, where men are perched like sailors in the riggings of a tall ship, filling the shed from top to bottom, with the last rows hanging about six feet from the floor. In the already filled part of the shed, it is refreshingly cool; here and there water drips from the still bright green leaves. "It's been a wet year," says Bill Light, manager of one ofCulbro's four farms. "When the tobacco is this wet, just looking at it wrong will bruise it." Light--a tall, laconic Texan from the Panhandle region around Abilene who once ran a 43,000-acre, vegetable-raising operation in New Mexico--came to the company four years ago with no prior tobacco-growing experience. Unlike the older hands, he laughs at the notion that there is any mystique to tobacco raising. "Hell," says Light, "tobacco is a weed. It's the easiest thing in the world to raise. Water and fertilizer and it grows." Then, casting a doleful eye at his busy crew, he adds, "The trouble doesn't start until you get it into the shed. This is where the tobacco will break your heart." Once the tobacco is fully cured, enough humidity is added to make

The 20-year-old mocked the Nothing Compares 2 U singer in a series of Twitter posts, likening her to troubled actress Amanda Bynes, who is undergoing psychiatric treatment and tonight she tweeted a line from the song.

as shown in FIG. 18, when the insertion head portion 5 is inserted into the hole 6a of the socket portion 6, because of the rocking of the insertion head portion 5 in the direction of the arrows E, an uneven force is applied to the locking blades 6a, which lead to the possible damage of the locking blades. Additionally, because the locking blades of the prior art were weak and had ends that could be easily deformed up and down and to the left and right, with even a small change in the insertion head portion, the mated part of the insertion head portion could become unattached. Additionally, when a plurality of prior art loop pins were temporarily attached in parallel to two connection bars, it was not possibleof a male. In the Australian Black Field Crickets we use in my lab, the male cannot copulate forcibly with the female. She has to mount him voluntarily and she is unlikely to do so unless he has a sexy song. But once she has mated him and he has attached a bag of his sperm (a spermatophore) to her abdomen, she often chooses to remove it before its entire contents enter her body. This isn’t in the male’s interests and he harasses her to prevent her reaching around and removing the spermatophore. Perhaps this is the kind of thing Todd Akin had in mind? Post-rape female choice in humans in which women have some kind of adaptation that prevents conception with the sperm of a rapist. I always savour

Her father figure (and presumed father) in Inari has to frequently leave her alone, due to his position at the shrine, and her mother is completely absent from her life. Koto doesn’t have time to be bored, as she is constantly dealing with the scrutiny of others and the trickle-down effect from these rumors: being bullied at school.

Seconds later, the officer reported hearing gunshots being fired and a gunshot victim was found at Southwest 2nd and Taylor. Upon arrival, Sergeant Mike Fort, a 19-year veteran of the Portland Police Bureau, fired his weapon after witnessing homicide suspect, Kevin Charles Moffett, shoot his gun. The suspect was uninjured and Sergeant Fort followed him as he fled the homicide scene broadcasting Moffett's direction of travel and description. Sergeant Fort, with the help of other officers arriving on-scene, took Moffett intocustody. Moffett was not injured in the shooting. Several hundred people were in the club during this incident. Medical personnel transported the victim, later identified as 32-year-old Ruben Mata, to an area hospital where he later died from his injuries. Mata was a bouncer at the club. In January 2013, Moffett pleaded no contest to Manslaughter in the First Degree and agreed to an 11-year sentence.

Dziemit's Role and the Evidence Against Her Prior to her involvement in the scheme, Dziemit worked as a mortgage lender associated with various companies, many of which were owned and operated by her boyfriend, Tony Maresca. Dziemit's primary activity was the completion of loan paperwork for the -4- companies, and she worked out of her home inConnecticut. At times, Dziemit would also make loans to third parties, drawing upon Maresca's mortgage companies or her own personal accounts to supply the funds. Each time Dziemit completed a loan, she executed a mortgage and a promissory note, and she profited from the loan based on the interest that it accrued. Maresca was a long-time friend of Ronald Mitchell. Mitchell owned and operated a carpet underlay supply business known as Remco, and

In the government's memorandum of law in support of its motion in limine, the government described defendants' alleged conduct as follows: When each "batch" of railroad ties were removed from GCL's pressurized treatment vessel creosote was allowed to spill out onto the ground. Some of this creosote was salvaged, other portions were sopped up with sawdust and disposed of "out back" in an illegal hazardous waste pile.

A 2007 graduate of Iona, Vidale appeared in 67 games during his four-year Iona career, tallying 30 goals, eight assists, 56 steals and 38 kick outs drawn. The defensive specialist had a breakout senior campaign with 21 goals while leading the team with 37 steals. During Vidale's tenure in New Rochelle, the Gaels reached the Eastern Championship in both 2003 and 2005. Since departing Iona, Vidale has spent time making waves traveling the world as a member of the Trinidad & Tobago national squad. Vidale's parents were both born in Trinidad and Tobago before moving to Florida where he was born. The Florida native began the process of trying out for the national

car while Washington and appellant drove to a Race Track gas station located next to the McDonalds. Soon thereafter, Merriweather arrived in a silver Mercedes sports utility vehicle (ASUV@) and parked next to Mathews.  Mathews retrieved the box of money out of his own car and got into Merriweather=s SUV to make the exchange.  While they were completing the transaction, a man approached the driver=s side of Merriweather=s vehicle and hit the window with the back of his weapon. Mathews, who was sitting in the passenger seat, immediately looked up and saw appellant.  Merriweather, who was sitting in the driver=s seat, jumped into Mathews=s lap, just as appellant lifted his weapon and fired through the driver=s side window. Mathews, in the passenger seat, felt glass and blood-splatter hit him.  Then, after hearing another gun shot, Mathews heard Merriweather say, Aouch.@  At the time of the shooting, Merriweather=s vehicle was not in the Apark@ position.  Consequently, after he was shot, his foot fell off the break, and the SUV, still in gear, spun backwards in a circular motion.  The passenger side door flew open, and Mathews was thrown from the vehicle, and landed in the grass near the parking lot.  From there Matthews could see the SUV collide with other vehicles in the parking lot.  When the vehicle finally came to a stop, appellant ran to the SUV, dove through the window, and fired more shots (at least two or three) into Merriweather.  Appellant was thrown backward when the SUV moved forward.  Appellant then went back to the SUV, looked in the driver=s side window, and fled the scene.  Mathews went to the SUV to check on Merriweather, and

conclude that Holland had privately told his own attorney about the said murders having been planned by Appellant and that he wrote out his statement, identified as State's Exhibit 101, prior to being interviewed by the State and before any plea bargain negotiations was even discussed with the prosecution. Thence, logically Holland was not induced to write his statement with the thought of obtaining leniency. Logically the State was not induced to recommend a sentence of sixty years based on Holland's statement simply because the State was not aware that this particular handwritten statement was in existence, it being a private, confidential statement to Attorney Hill. The State did not know its contents. We determine that State's Exhibit No. 101 was properly admitted as a prior, consistent statement underthis factual background. State's Exhibit No. 101 clearly pointed out that "Tom", referring to Appellant, had drawn a picture or plat of John Vandiver's place out in the country on a piece of paper and Appellant described everything around the residence in detail. Appellant had said that Joe and Dennis was going to be let out of the van a few blocks from the house and they were going to circle around to the back of a fence behind Vandiver's house and wait for a signal from Cecil Covington, Jr., before Joe and Dennis could come up to the house. Exhibit 101 also revealed that in the meantime Appellant was going to go into John's house to pretend to buy some "pot" off John. Cecil was going to wait

of jointly developing comprehensive industrial policies under the auspices of regional integration bodies such as the Southern African Customs Union (SACU). Regional co-operation in industrial policy design and implementation has the potential to both identify and capitalise on the productive synergies that exist between states, and to enhance the integrated performance of industrial sectors across borders. The Zambian economy has undergone profound reforms in the last two decades. It has transited to a market economy from the previously centrally planned economy. As part of the economy-wide reforms, the country's industrial and trade policies have also been re-oriented to suit the needs of the market-oriented economy. This paper therefore reviews the evolution of Zambia's industrial and trade policies from 1964, when the country gained independence, to 2009. This period isthe Structural Adjustment Programme and re-oriented its trade and industrial policies towards the market. Government's role has changed from that of an investor to creating a conducive (mainly macroeconomic stability and licensing reforms) and incentivised environment for private export oriented industrialisation strategy. The incentives have included fiscal incentives and infrastructural support. The reforms have resulted in an increased production and export of manufactured goods by more than 300% between 1991 and 2008. The paper focuses on the conduct of trade and industrial policies in Malawi, their linkages and impacts on the performance of the trade and industry sectors. The study establishes that Malawi has gone through three stages of trade and industrial policy. From focusing on the production and trade of a few agricultural commodities during the colonial era,

Filmmaker Ramesh Sippy, the head of the feature film jury, said, "A sweet and resonant film set in Haridwar, Dum Laga Ke Haisha challenged the prejudices of a middle class family in choosing a bride." The National Film Awards were established in 1954, and the award ceremony is held in New Delhi every year, where the President of India gives out the honours. The 63rd National Film Awards honoured the best films of 2015. The chairpersons of the juries handed over the list of the awardees to Information and Broadcasting Minister Arun Jaitley on Monday morning. The ceremony to honour all the awardeeswill be held on 3 May. This year, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting also announced a prize for the 'most film-friendly state', with Gujarat named as the winner. Senthil Rajan from the Directorate of Film Festivals, said, "We had 16 entries from different states, and this is a major step by the Indian government to promote film tourism in the states because this sort of an award will enthuse the states. We chose Gujarat primarily because of the efforts in the direction of ease of doing business and facilitation of films and towards the promotion of Indian cinema."

CEO Brian Krzanich showed people opening doors and unlocking their phones using facial recognition, but the presentation took an entirely different turn when the drones began to fly. Krzanich sent one through an obstacle course, in which it flew without a controller through a series of left, right, up, and down obstacles. Then, at the very end, it ran into a door. It paused, flying simply in place; when the doors opened, it flew straight through. What if your jacket could vibrate when you were getting too close?

When the tractor turns right out of the second lane, the right side of the semi trailer enters a portion of the area of the curb lane prior to again becoming aligned with the path of the tractor as it completes the turn. However, the semi trailer remains on the road, which is far better than the alternative of entering the sidewalk. Unfortunately, unwary motorists may advance their vehicles in the curb lane up to the intersection adjacent to the semi trailer if they are not warned away, resulting in a collision between their vehicle and the semi trailer when the semi trailer makes its right

MIAMI -- The Miami Heat's sluggish play isn't sitting well with LeBron James, who vented his frustration after Monday's practice amid the team's 4-3 start to the season. "It's simple," James said as the Heat prepared for Tuesday's home game against the Milwaukee Bucks. "These first seven games, we're playing like s--- defensively. It's that simple. We're not a sugarcoat team. We came in and got right down to it. We're terrible on defense, and we've got to change that." James' comments came on the heels of the Heat's 111-110 loss Saturday to the Boston Celtics, who won on a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Jeff Green after overcoming a four-point deficit in the final 3.6 seconds. The shot from Green capped a relentless performance by the Celtics, who took advantage ofMiami's lethargic defensive effort throughout the game. It's already developing into a disturbing trend for the Heat, who are ranked first in the league in offensive efficiency but just 25th among the NBA's 30 teams in defensive efficiency. Miami also ranks among the bottom third in the league in points allowed, yielding 100.9 per game. The Heat opened Tuesday's practice with some harsh words from coach Erik Spoelstra and then spent the next two hours working to correct defensive concerns. After the workout, James twice used expletives during his session with reporters when asked the source of the team's poor play. The early-season problems aren't new for the Heat, who were ranked 26th in points allowed through the end of November last season. That slow start eventually gave way to a

flip his hips and has a burst out of his turn. He possesses quick feet and can move in transition very well. He dominates at a very low level of competition (Div. II) and rarely goes up against a receiver with any kind of speed. He is raw with his technique and can get away with that versus his competition. He played at the East-West and Senior Bowl and showed improvement in the two weeks there with NFL coaching. He has a good jam and is a good press corner, can mirror receivers through moves, and has the suddenness required. He didn’t time well at the combine but plays faster. He will need to be re-timed at his pro day. His play speed is closer to 4.50. At this timethat started in a living unit occupied solely by defendant, one of eight units in the two-story Washington Township building the fire destroyed, was ignited accidentally or deliberately. On the morning of the fire, defendant told investigators a candle had accidentally ignited a blanket after she had gone to sleep. The parties each presented a cause and origin expert on the issue, and each expert came to a different conclusion. The State's expert was Washington Township's Fire Marshall and Captain. He arrived at the fire scene shortly after the fire department received the initial call. During the ensuing investigation, the Captain and an investigative team eliminated all accidental causes. They observed an irregular burn pattern—"an uneven type of pattern"—on a plywood floor in defendant's unit and on tile leading toward the front door.

So many earthquakes have rocked the high desert of Southern California since Friday's 7.1-magnitude temblor that the U.S. Geological Survey said Saturday it is unable to "count all events." The quakes — there have been more than 3,000 associated with the two major shakers —are part of a sequence that is sure to continue rumbling in Searles Valley and Ridgecrest, California, seismologists say. Late Friday,Lucy Jones, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, initially said there was about a 1 in 10 chance that yet another earthquake could top the last one, in this case the 7.1 of Friday night.

Mrs. Fielding donated $245,000 to allow the city to purchase the 12-acre property on which the school once sat. She also agreed to foot much of the $150,000 bill for the school’s demolition. In August 2016, Mrs. Fielding celebrated her 100th birthday by donating $1 million for the purchase of 300 more acres of land. She made that donation in memory of her parents, Susanna and John Kivi, as well as the Finnish immigrants who settled in the neighbourhood and helped shape the city. McIntosh says Mrs. Fielding has donated close to $2 million so far to get the park ready for visitors. McIntosh says it is her way of giving back to the community in which she grew up. Mrs. Fielding was raised on a farm in thehead, and was knocked unconscious for approximately five minutes. Plaintiff was transported to Pender Memorial Hospital emergency department, then transferred to the New Hanover Medical Center where x-rays of plaintiff's spine and left shoulder were obtained. Both x-rays indicated normal results. CT scans of plaintiff's brain and chest were also conducted and normal results were indicated. Plaintiff was diagnosed with a concussion and neck strain and was kept at the hospital overnight for observation. On 23 December 2003, plaintiff presented to the Cape Fear Valley Health System emergency department complaining that he was experiencing pain on the top of his head. Plaintiff was diagnosed with head injury, status post mild concussion syndrome and released. On 4 February 2004, plaintiff began treatment with Dr. Bruce Solomon, a neurologist *267 practicing with

Official says drone deployed by American oceanographic vessel in South China Sea was taken by Chinese navy on Thursday The Chinese navy has seized an underwater drone in plain sight of the American sailors who had deployed it in international waters, in a seemingly brazen message to the incoming Trump administration. According to a US defence official, the unmanned glider had come to the surface of the water in the South China Sea and was about to be retrieved by the USNS Bowditch, an oceanographic and surveillance ship, when a Chinese naval vessel that had been shadowing the Bowditch put a small boat in the water. Chinese sailors in the small boat came alongside the drone and grabbed it despite the radioed protests from the Bowditch that it was US propertyin international waters. The incident happened about 100 miles north-west of the Philippines’ port of Subic Bay. The US has issued a formal protest and demanded the return of the glider. Peter Cook, the Pentagon press secretary, said the Bowditch made radio contact with the Chinese ship and asked for the glider to be returned. “The radio contact was acknowledged by the [Chinese] navy ship, but the request was ignored,” Cook said. “The UUV [unmanned underwater vehicle] is a sovereign immune vessel of the United States. We call upon China to return our UUV immediately, and to comply with all of its obligations under international law.” The aggressive Chinese gesture comes at a time of rising tensions between China and the US in the South China Sea, where Beijing has claimed ownership

California, and after a short time, Ravenel was also talking about the idea of moving her to Charleston, perhaps to be on the show. Otte said no, and after eight dates, she broke things off with Ravenel when he allegedly became scary. But now, after months of alleged online harassment and cyberbullying by Ravenel, Jacobs, and a PR firm hired by the two, Otte has hired the high-profile law firm of L. Lin Wood to sort out this mess, have it cease, and likely seek damages. #bravo #SouthernCharm #ashleyjacobs SHAME ON BRAVO and Southern Charm producers! A source has come forward stating Ashley Jacobs was a hired actress with a one season contract to play TRAV girlfriend on show. Bravo and Haymaker are trying to HIDE this truth, this showa thousand-year slumber – and he suggests that maybe Thomas allowed Ashley to get close, maybe too close, and she may one day testify against Thomas in court.” Adding fuel to this fire is the fact that Jacobs seems to have disappeared from Thomas Ravenel’s Instagram page. He now posts pictures of his family, his children with Kathryn Dennis, and Dennis herself, but Jacobs is gone. Her recent statements allege that their relationship is better ever since the Charleston Police started investigating allegations of rape against Ravenel, but he has not mentioned Jacobs in social media posts in over a month. In fact, Ravenel has shared several days at the beach with his children and their mother, Kathryn Dennis. The theory that someone hired Jacobs to play a role on Southern

USA Gymnastics ends agreement to train at Karolyi Ranch USA Gymnastics ends agreement to train at Karolyi Ranch USA Gymnastics ends agreement to train at Karolyi Ranch Jan. 18, 2018 https://www.apnews.com/a637a7689a8846ae8d101b83d72792bb Link copied! INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The long relationship between USA Gymnastics and the Karolyi Ranch is over. The organization announced Thursday it has terminated its agreement to have the ranch outside of Huntsville, Texas, serve as the National Training Center for the women's elite program. The decision came three days after Olympic champion Simone Biles expressed dismay at having to attend camps there, where Biles says she was sexually abused by a former national team doctor. Kerry Perry, USA Gymnastics president and CEO, said it was her intent to have the women's program leave the ranch when she began her tenure in December. "Our most importantpriority is our athletes, and their training environment must reflect this," Perry said in a statement. "We are committed to a culture that empowers and supports our athletes." The ranch is the home of former national team coordinator Martha Karolyi and her husband, Bela. USA Gymnastics initially agreed to buy the training facility in August 2016 but then backed out of the agreement following an investigation into sexual abuse by former national team doctor Larry Nassar, who worked with the organization for nearly three decades before stepping away in 2015. Several Olympians — including Biles, 2012 Olympic champion Gabby Douglas, six-time Olympic medalist Aly Raisman and two-time medalist McKayla Maroney — say they were abused by Nassar, with some of the alleged abuse occurring at the facility. Biles, who has returned

predecessor, Republican Butch Otter. Little's had a relatively quiet six months. The most contentious issue he faced may have been a bill that would have made it much harder to place ballot initiatives; Little vetoed it. He also signed into law a compromise bill implementing the voter-passed Medicaid expansion, which included work requirements. SURVIVING Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly (D) In a state wracked by budget problems under former Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, Kelly has been blessed with an improved budget picture. She's taken advantage of the fiscal climate to get a major school funding bill through the legislature that passes muster with the courts -- light at the end of the tunnel in a long-running legal case. Kelly vetoed a GOP-backed tax cut bill and the legislature fell short of overriding it, givingKelly an opening to pursue a more moderate bill that would cut sales taxes on food. And she secured additional funding for prisons and the foster care system. Kelly's biggest disappointment has been a continuing inability to pass a Medicaid expansion; it cleared the House but stalled in the Senate. Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) Kemp, like DeSantis in Florida, narrowly won a highly polarized contest in a politically competitive state despite the national Democratic midterm wave. Also like DeSantis, he's made some moves to broaden his base, including the appointment of minorities to state and local offices. But Kemp gave his GOP base a big win when he signed a fetal heartbeat abortion bill. It was cheered by abortion opponents but may not play well in the swingy Atlanta suburbs. Michigan Gov. Gretchen

waxed and waned. But in the autumn of 2014 coverage of podcasts exploded with the release of Serial, a journalistic investigation into a 15-year-old murder case in the US city of Baltimore, produced by the team behind This American Life. It was a great story, to be sure, but the fact that it was being told solely in podcast form put medium itself in the spotlight. The internet groaned under the weight of citizen journalists pursuing leads and commentators hailing the “podcasting renaissance”. Zaltzman, who has been podcasting for eight years and now makes a living from producing her programmes, was a bit frustrated by the response. “The years between 2010 and Serial’s arrival in 2014 was when the medium was really taking off. People were getting iPhones and iPads.City Councilman Mike Whatley criticized local media for coverage of the council's planned retreat to Brasstown Valley Resort and Spa, saying it has been divisive to the community, at a council meeting Wednesday night. Whatley also said much of the public has a misperception of the purpose of the retreat.

he was rearrested and placed in an interrogation room. When the detective entered to talk with appellant, he saw appellant standing on a table directly beneath a hole in the ceiling with a piece of ceiling molding in his hand. Appellant does not dispute that while left alone in an interrogation room, he bored a hole in the ceiling; however, he testified that he did not try to get out through the hole, he merely bored it open. (5) While in police custody, appellant participated in a lineup with several other men, including Jerome Hall and Tashambry Rodney Hollins. Hollins testified that appellant piqued their curiosity because the majority of the individuals, we was -- already had been currently incarcerated at the Government Center. So he [appellant] was the only one that was loose. So we startedasking him what he was in here for. And he asked us, didn't we know. Didn't we see him on television. And I told him no. Conversing with the group, appellant inquired whether anyone had "ever killed a white man before." Jerome Hall offered the only response, a negative one. Appellant described for Hollins in some detail his encounter with the victim's wife, relating that he had put a gun to "the bitch's head" and asked her to "turn over some rings." On three occasions, Hollins directly asked appellant if he "committed this crime." Appellant's first response was silence, then he claimed he did not know and, finally, he said he did. There was no question in Hollins's mind that appellant murdered a white man. Stacy Whetstone and her sister,

Adams directed the vendors to charge a specific amount on its invoices, and when IFC's accounts payable department issued a check based on thatamount, the vendors would distribute approximately seventy-five percent of the ill-gotten gains to Adams, keeping the remainder for themselves. Chinese Carpet Center, Inc. ("CCC") was the primary vendor that colluded with Adams and Britto. David Sun, CCC's former treasurer, testified at trial about the company's knowing participation, and he detailed the scheme's inner-workings. He explained that CCC was consistently required to advance to Adams large sums of money via cash, check, and wire transfers. In turn, CCC would bill IFC for short or nonexistent shipments. When CCC received payment from IFC, it was paid back the initially loaned amount along with a profit, which was shared

Najib also said that in order for Malaysia to achieve a developed nation status by 2020, the country has to grow at an annual rate of 8% over the next 10 years. He cited that a lower hypothetical growth of 6% per annum would delay Malaysia's vision to become a developed country by 10 years to 2030. Malaysia’s GDP growth rate averaged 7.2% per annum in the 1990s, and slowed to 5.4% per annum in the following decade.

The GRDA initially considered a ten day suspension, but reduced it to only seven days after Rouse expressed remorse and commitment to improve in behavior and leadership. ¶6 At the time of his discharge, Rouse was a classified employee. The GRDA provided Rouse with notice of proposed disciplinary action of termination on January 11, 2012, and a pre-termination hearing was conducted on January 20, and February 6, 2012, giving Rouse an opportunity to respond. By letter dated February 17, 2012, Rouse was officially terminated based on Merit Rule 530:10-11-914 and 74 O.S. 2011 §840-6.5.5 ¶7 The letter stated that Rouse was being terminated for inefficiency, misconduct, insubordination, inability to performthe duties of the position, and violations of the Oklahoma Personnel Act. Additionally, it referenced specific instances such as Rouse's: 1) incomplete work task assignment from August of 2011; 2) incompetence in handling an alarm event occurring on December 13, 2011; and 3) inattentiveness to a costly tube leak/overflow event on December 14, 2011. It also referenced the fact that staff members reported that Rouse was regularly unable to identify key problems and take the necessary actions appropriate for his position and it referenced the prior suspension without pay in 2010. ¶8 Just prior to the termination, on December 1, 2011, the GRDA got a new CEO and Director of Investments, Dan Sullivan (CEO).

The physical characteristics of Buckland Hill also made it a key strategic position in wartime periods where in World War II, the Australian Army established a gun emplacement and a tunnel system as part of a larger mainland coastal defense system. This tunnel complex, known as Leighton Battery was over 300 meters long and was constructed to accommodate ammunition and personnel. The Battery was periodically upgraded during the War and remained the only operational coastal artillery battery in Western Australia until 1963.

Washington, D.C. about why he is a democratic socialist and what it means to him. On the very next day, the fourth and final movie in the Hunger Games series, Mockingjay Part Two, was publicly released and seen all around the country. I’m sure this was a coincidence, but what a coincidence! There are very real similarities between Sanders, a man who has been standing up on behalf of working people and justice for his whole adult life, and the Mockingjay, Katniss Everdeen, the heroine of the Hunger Games series from beginning to end. For those who aren’t tuned in to popular culture in the USA, the Hunger Games book and movie series are a major cultural phenomenon. According to Wikipedia, as of 2014 more than 65 million copies ofthe three books have been sold, and turnout for the three movies prior to Mockingjay Part Two was similar. The books have been translated into 51 languages, so they are having an international impact. The star of the books and the movies is Katniss Everdeen, an attractive and vivacious young woman in her late teens played by attractive and vivacious Jennifer Lawrence. Over the course of the books she becomes the inspirational leader of an eventually successful revolution against a severely repressive and corrupt government. This takes place in a country, Panem, whose origins and reality are described by author Suzanne Collins in this way in the first book, The Hunger Games: “Panem, the country that rose up out of the ashes of a place that was once called

the following night, September 28. On Sunday morning, September 29, Cappola picked me up at my hotel in Secaucus and, at my request, drove to the former PJP Landfill in Jersey City. When we arrived, Cappola gave me a tour of the area, culminating with his identification of the exact spot where, according to Cappola, Hoffa was buried in the grave dug by his father. On October 11, I introduced Frank Cappola to Eric Shawn of Fox News, who conducted an exclusive interview with Cappola for the continuing Fox Nation investigation series “Riddle, The Search for James R. Hoffa.” Portions of the interview will also be aired when I appear with Shawn on Saturday, November 23, on ‘America’s News Headquarters on the Fox News Channel, co-anchored by Shawn.

Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton was not able to repeat in front of his home crowd, but the rest of the field more than picked up the slack. When the dust cleared, New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge shined brighter than the rest, becoming the 2017 Home Run Derby champ. The path to the top was not without some drama. Judge barely made it out of the first round, belting an incredible 23 home runs to narrowly beat Marlins first baseman Justin Bour. The fans initially booed Judge for going against the home-town guy, but eventually came around once he started clobbering baseballs. On his way to passing Bour, Judge hit a ball so hard it

Russia on Wednesday accused Turkey of helping foreign fighters cross into Libya, the Interfax news agency reported, quoting Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov. Russia did not see evidence that Libya's warring factions were prepared to implement military and political decisions reached at a conference in Berlin in January, Bogdanov added.

were involved in the entire animal-showing process. The parents signed waivers of liability, which approved the Livestock Show's right to test the animals for unauthorized drugs. They also signed a notarized form stating that they would abide by the Livestock Show rules and that no illegal substances had been administered to the animals. Additionally, when an Exhibitor's animal was subjected to drug testing, an Exhibitor's parent witnessed the taking of the sample, after which the parent signed another form acknowledging that the parents witnessed the event. The parents, as well as the Exhibitors, were subject to the threat of a lifetime banishment from future shows in the event of a disqualification resulting from illegal drug use. The myriad of services that the Livestock Show provided to the Exhibitors and their parents includedthe DTPA. The Livestock Show's definition of the transaction is too narrow. The transaction did not begin and end with appellees' payment of the entry fee. Instead, the transaction included the payment of the fee and the host of services that the appellees purchased. These services included, but were not limited to, the competition, judging, prizes, auction, auction proceeds, and the animal drug testing. The transaction was on-going from the time appellees submitted their entry forms until the final drug testing and distribution of prizes. The supreme court, in an early consumer-protection-act case, stated that "the date of the acts which give rise to the cause of action under the Consumer Protection Act [the DTPA predecessor], rather than the date of the sale, determines the applicability of the Act."

over and wait for him while he changed it.           When Clarence and Tia exited the Pontiac, Alegria explained to them the reason for the stop. Tia became angry and a bitter argument ensued between her and Alegria over their relationship. Alegria then retrieved a .357 Smith & Wesson revolver from his car and told Tia that that was how she made him feel from all the years that she hurt them. He shot at Tia approximately three times and at Clarence approximately two times. They jumped into the Pontiac as quickly as they could to escape. Alegria chased after them and put some shells in his shirt pocket in the process. After travelling some distance, the Pontiac caromed off a guard rail, veered off the side of the road, andcame to a halt.           Alegria then parked his car nearby the Pontiac. He reloaded his revolver and walked around the passenger side of the car and fired six shots at both Clarence and Tia. He reloaded and then fired six more shots at them, whereupon he ran back to his car and fled the scene.           II. Whether Alegria's Arrest Was Illegal           Alegria in his first point asserts his arrest was unlawful because the affidavit supporting the issuance of his arrest warrant did not establish probable cause of his guilt. We disagree.           Alegria directs his attack at several targets. He assails the credibility of the issuing magistrate, Justice of the Peace Joe Y. McNutt, and of the affiant, Deputy Ron Garney of the Robertson County Sheriff's Department; and he charges that the hearsay

An alien force planning on taking over the world causing the plane of Flight 508 to disappear and abduct the passengers and replacing them with androids.

But when it comes to looking for borrowers, thin margins — the gap between the amount they pay out in interest and the amount they can charge for loans — affect credit unions as well as banks. Durdin insists that because of the co-operative nature of credit unions, where the borrowers are also the owners, employees at her member institutions have not been as pushy as those at the big banks. They are not under the same kind of pressure to drive shareholder profits. Margin squeeze But the margin squeeze has affected financial institutions around the world.

MIKE ASHLEY was today warned Rangers fans will not buckle in their battle over the Light Blues' merchandise deals ahead of another Ibrox showdown. The Sports Direct tycoon has called for a General Meeting to be held next week in a bid to force the new Gers board to repay the £5million loan he agreed with the former regime earlier this year. As a condition of the loan, Ashley has security over a number of Rangers' assets, including their registered trademarks, and he further strengthened his hand relating to their merchandise arrangements as his stake in Rangers Retail Limited increased to 75%. Many Gers fans continue to refuse to buy official goods from the club shop or Sports Direct stores in protest at the deals that chairman Dave King and hismen, and the saying pleased her. She and the president, contemporaries and good friends, had grown up together and escaped from the kind of society that was the hardest of all to escape from: the secure, complacent haute bourgeoisie of the late nineteenth century that found politics too dirty for gentlemen and letters too inky for ladies. Not surprisingly, the concept of personal freedom and what it meant for women and men in the late nineteenth century runs deep in Edith’s 1905 novel, and is evident as early as The House of Mirth’s opening scene. In this scene, Lily Bart is passing time in her friend Lawrence Selden’s bachelor flat while she awaits a train to take her upstate for the summer. While the pair take tea together in
