And the president is seemingly caught in another whopper. And by that doggone “fake press” at that.
As far back as the 1980s, the New York Times reports, Donald Trump has been claiming that he graduated at the top of his class at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton Business School. Yet despite these claims of being numero uno, school records suggest that Trump was not—nor was he even close.
The coldest part is that this exposure comes from the students at the institution itself. The University of Pennsylvania’s student-run newspaper, the Daily Pennsylvanian, found historical documents (or primary sources) to dispute the president’s claims.
It dug into the records available during the time Trump was at the school (he finished at UPenn in 1968 after transferring fromtaken by the United States within the meaning of the Fifth Amendment. The complaint also alleged a claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C.A. § 1346(b), but plaintiff concedes that he proved no case under that act.

The United States established the Dahlgren Naval Proving Ground at Dahlgren, Virginia, in 1918. Since that time sixteen-inch naval guns and many other types of ordnance have been tested there.
7
In 1939 plaintiff and another physician, Dr. N. Talley Ballou, purchased Wood Island, which has an area of about one acre, and is located in Machodoc Creek about 2,300 yards from the then boundaries of the Proving Ground. They built a house and other improvements on the island, and used it for recreational purposes.

as an addition to the Proving Ground, 1,641 acres in the area known as Tetotum Flats or Pumpkin Neck, located on the south shore of Machodoc Creek, about 800 feet from Wood Island.

Since November, 1945, the United States has conducted two types of tests on Pumpkin Neck: aircraft drops and fragmentation tests. Aircraft drops are made to learn how a weapon behaves in falling and striking the ground; most of those tests are made with weapons that do not contain explosives. In fragmentation tests the weapon is placed inside a circular arena made of steel plates, lined with boxes of sawdust or fiberboard, which trap the fragmented pieces; their purpose is to learn where the parts of an ordnance item go when it explodes.
10
There are two main testingareas on Pumpkin Neck: the octagon target, approximately 3,000 feet from Wood Island, and the pyramid target, approximately 7,000 feet from the island and from main administration buildings on the Proving Ground. A third area, known as the Howland Point area, about 2,000 feet from the island, was used in September and October, 1955, for ground detonations. Pumpkin Neck is not used as a bombing range.
11
The government's records show that over a 4½ year period, 1950 to 1955, aircraft drops were made on 73 days, on only nine of which explosives were used. The great majority of the explosive items contained only one pound of black powder, six contained three pounds, eight contained four pounds, five contained twelve pounds, and ten contained 125 pounds of explosives. Ninety-three percent | {

of the drops were made on the pyramid (far) target. All were controlled drops made by aircraft using predetermined courses. None of the courses passed over Wood Island; but on a few occasions the aircraft failed to fly on the prescribed course, and flew over the island. On all but nine of the flights the lowest altitude reached by the airplane was at least 2,000 feet. A few came over at treetop height. Fragmentation tests during a 6½ year period, 1949 to 1955, were made on 399 days, but few of the items contained more than 250 pounds of explosives. The intensity with which Pumpkin Neck is used for fragmentation tests is not increasing. The largest charge ever exploded there, 1,800 pounds, was set off in 1946. Notests were made on Sundays or at nights.
12
In August, 1946, about nine months after the tests began on Pumpkin Neck, plaintiff purchased Dr. Ballou's half interest in the island. Thereafter plaintiff made additional improvements to the house and to the land. He continued to use the island for vacations, for weekends, and for an occasional afternoon visit in the middle of the week, until 1950, when he purchased a new vacation spot nearer his home.
13
Plaintiff's property on Wood Island has not been physically damaged as a result of the activities on Pumpkin Neck. Some of the ceiling panels in the house have fallen but it was not proved that they fell as a result of concussion rather than dampness or some other reason. Three years after plaintiff stopped | {

The Tortilla Curtain
The Tortilla Curtain Consequences of Illegal Immigration to the United States
Arizona's recent passing of the toughest known immigration bill in the United States has brought even more attention to an already heated issue. The promise of the American dream has been drawing immigrants to the U.S. for centuries, but as the requirements for citizenship and legal status have grown more stringent, the incidence of illegal immigration, especially across the U.S.-Mexico border, has dramatically increased. As of January 1, 2009, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated that approximately 10.8 million illegal immigrants were living in the United States. Of these, more than 50% were thought to be from Mexico. Furthermore, according to the Department of Homeland Security, the Tuscon sector of the U.S. Border Patrol (the sector managingEnzyme patterns of dermatophytes.
Exoenzymes produced by common dermatophytes, in addition to their ability to cause cutaneous inflammation, are thought to contribute to fungal spread. To investigate the patterns of enzymes released by common dermatophytes as well as Scopulariopsis brevicaulis, the fungi were grown in liquid media containing either hair, stratum corneum, neopeptone or lipids, or in RPMI medium. Enzymes recovered from the culture supernatants were compared using the Api-zyme test. As a result, the widest range of enzymes was seen in protein-containing media, with a maximum of 13 enzymes stimulated by growth on hair. Dermatophytes in all protein media produced high levels of alkaline phosphatase, esterases and leucine arylamidase. In these media the highest total enzymatic activity was released by Microsporum canis, whereas the lowest was released by | {

Steam saved PC gaming. As retailers aggressively reduced the shelf space afforded to PC titles - blaming piracy, but equally motivated, no doubt, by the proliferation of MMO and other online titles which had little or no resale value - Valve took matters into its own hands and delivered on the long-empty promises of digital distribution. It was a bumpy ride at first, but the service Valve created ushered in a new and exciting era for games on the PC. Freed from the shackles of traditional publishing and retail, it's become a thriving platform that teems with creativity and experimentation. Steam still isn't all things to all people, but it saved PC gaming.
Sometimes, though, you look at Steam andLost Cities Millions of Syrians have fled their war-torn country, a scattering on the scale of Chicago and Houston combined. Some have made the long journey to Europe. But most don’t run far.

On a bright, cold day in February 2011, a group of young people decided to graffiti their city, the way teenagers are wont to do. But this was Syria, and regime change had already roared through Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. The teens scrawled a message to their president, Bashar al-Assad, an ophthalmologist turned dictator: "It's your turn, doctor." They scrawled another one: "Leave, Bashar." And still another one: "The | {

people want the regime to fall." What followed has been a war without end, a fight without apparent limits. The teenagers were arrested and tortured, and in response, a once-stable Syria exploded into violence. In the years since, hundreds of thousands of Syrians have died in the fighting, according to the United Nations. That's the equivalent of a Hiroshima and Nagasaki, twice.
The Zaatari Syrian Refugee Camp, pictured here, first opened in July 2012.
Millions of Syrians have also fled the country, a scattering on the scale of Chicago and Houston combined. Some Syrians have made the long journey to Europe, capturing the attention of the West. But most don't run far. They pour into Turkey to the north, Lebanon to the west, and Jordan to the south, where atent city called Zaatari has taken on a feeling of permanence. It represents a new model for refugee camps — once-temporary settlements now routinely fixed by the concrete of modern politics.

The world's oldest refugee camp, Kenya's Dadaab, will turn 24 this year. By those standards, Zaatari is still young. But the people in Zaatari never expected to be there for even this long.

turn 24 this year. After the fighting in Syria started, they crossed the border by the thousands. They dodged sniper fire, sidestepping snakes and scorpions, carrying the young and the weak. They were dispossessed and battered — but also hopeful. The Free Syrian Army was on the march. The president of the United States was calling on Assad to step down. The Arab League was on their side. It seemed clear to everyone that soon the displaced would all go home and vote on the future.
A boy does a handstand next to a series of faded murals in Zaatari.
With Syria in ruins, is this place now home? The question is as painful as it is comforting. Few, if any, residents would say yes.
The Zaatari camp is a hometo about 80,000 Syrian refugees. Although it was intended to be temporary, politics have led to its continued existence.
But the United Nations determined otherwise. In July 2012, the U.N. banded together with aid groups to build Zaatari in two weeks flat. The workers hammered tent pegs for 5,000 people. By the following summer, 150,000 had arrived — forming a population center the size of Savannah, Georgia or Dayton, Ohio. From the beginning, the camp posed basic physical problems. The weather was broiling in the summer, frigid in the winter and prone to floods in the months in between. There was no electricity, little food, no security.
It's a surprising civilization, a spectacle of determination and basic humanity. A cyclist stops to speak to a shopkeeper.

a supply of food they actually liked to eat.
The Azraq Syrian Refugee Camp first opened in April 2014. While it has the capacity to house 130,000 refugees, it currently houses 40,000.
The Azraq camp is undergoing improvements to infrastructure, including solar fields.
People also became innovative. Sly electricians began to wire up the caravans, which then sprouted microwaves and washing machines, stereos and air conditioners. Guerrilla plumbers set up makeshift latrines and private bathrooms. Today, parts of Zaatari can still resemble a scene from "Mad Max." It's a loud and dirty place. The sewers smell and the dust settles into people's wrinkles. Crime remains a problem. Too many kids aren't in school. There's been an uptick in early marriages.
Two boys collect water from the communal supply in the camp.
And yetas Azraq, and in every way that Zaatari is makeshift, Azraq was planned. The next step is infrastructure: real water and sewage systems, a solar field, automatic banking machines, camp-wide wireless Internet. Every new arrival got a welcome kit and a trip to an on-site supply store. Inside, the new families found a map of the camp, mattresses, lanterns, waste bins, buckets, gas burners — all the supplies a person could need. There was also security, healthcare, and a vast supermarket from day one. Plus, the residences are larger, with higher ceilings, pitched roofs and ventilation. The cabins are arranged in groups of six, which combine into four distinct "villages."
The average stay in a refugee camp is 12 years.
The idea was to keep friends and families close together, | {

and settle regions of people with their own former neighbors. The idea was autonomy and dignity, the secret of Zaatari's relative success. But despite the effort, Azraq remains chronically empty. It was built to house more than 100,000 people, but it's never had more than 30,000 residents. Zaatari's population is also down to below 80,000 people, almost half its peak.
A truck drives through the camp, repairing fixtures on the site. All these projects are planned or already underway, and at times, it is more expensive to be temporary.
Young refugees stand near the street. Each new arrival receives a welcome kit and a trip to an on-site supply store.
This is not good news. It's not a sign of success or an indication that Syria is healing. There are onlyevidence to prove one of the elements of burglary, that statements made by the State during closing argument misstated the law and misled the jury, and that the court's jury instructions were so confusing as to constitute obvious error. Finding no error, we affirm the judgments of the Superior Court.
I. The Facts
In the early morning hours of January 19, 1992, William Googins burst into the home of his ex-wife, Katina Nelson, found her in the arms of another man, Richard Theriault, and shot him. Nelson had been socializing that evening and had come home with a few friends Theriault, Joe Hedrich, and Glori Cote. Googins, anxious to reconcile with Nelson, telephoned Nelson's house repeatedly and irritated everyone present. Eventually, Theriault and Hedrich began answering the telephone and | {

taunting Googins. Cote testified she heard Nelson tell Googins not to call anymore and not to come to the house.[2]
Googins, a state trooper, drove his cruiser to Nelson's home. While en route he stopped Glori Cote, who had left Nelson's home, and checked to see if Nelson was in Cote's car. Hedrich also left Nelson's home before Googins arrived. As he left, Hedrich saw Googins creeping toward the house through the woods. Startled, Hedrich hurried up the driveway to meet his ride and did not investigate further. He testified that he heard two shots and, thinking they were fired by a poacher, called the local game warden when he arrived home.

2009: On General Hospital,Pope Francis Joins Battle Against Transgenic Crops
MEXICO CITY, Aug 11 2015 (IPS) - A few centuries ago, the biotechnology industry would have been able to buy a papal bull to expiate its sins and grant it redemption. But in his encyclical on the environment, “Laudato Si”, Pope Francis condemns genetically modified organisms (GMOs) without leaving room for a pardon.
In his second encyclical since he became pope on Mar. 13, 2013 – but the first that is entirely his work – Jorge Mario Bergoglio criticises the social, economic and agricultural impacts of GMOs and calls for a broad scientific debate.
Laudato Si – “Praise be to you, my Lord” in medieval Italian – takes its title from Saint Francis of Assisi’s 13th-century Canticle of the Sun, one of whose verses | {
"pile_set_name": [

the determined efforts of social organisations. This encyclical reinforces our collective demand,” he told Tierramérica.
The priest said the encyclical warns of the social, economic, legal and ethical implications of transgenic crops, just as environmentalists in Mexico have done for years.
The document holds special importance for nations like Mexico, which have been the scene of intense battles over transgenic crops – in this country mainly maize, which has special cultural significance here, besides being the basis of the local diet.
That is also true for Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, which together with southern Mexico form Mesoamérica, the seat of the ancient Maya civilisation.
The pope is familiar with the impact of transgenic crops, because according to experts his home country, Argentina, is the Latin American nation whereGMOs have done the most to alter traditional agriculture.
Soy – 98 percent of which is transgenic – is Argentina’s leading crop, covering 31 million hectares, up from just 4.8 million hectares in 1990, according to the soy industry association, ACSOJA.
The monoculture crop has displaced local producers, fuelled the concentration of land, and created “a vicious circle that is highly dangerous for the sustainability of our production systems,” Argentine agronomist Carlos Toledo told Tierramérica.
Just 10 countries account for nearly all production of GMOs: the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, India, China, Paraguay, South Africa, Pakistan and Uruguay, in that order. Most of the production goes to the animal feed industry, but Mexico wants GM maize to be used for human consumption.

Danegeld
The rune stone U 344 in Orkesta, Uppland, Sweden, raised in memory of the Viking Ulf of Borresta, says that he had taken three danegelds in England. The first one was with Skagul Toste, the second one with Thorkel the High, and the last one with Canute the Great.
The Danegeld ("Dane gold") was an English tribute raised to pay off Viking raiders to save the land from being ravaged. The expeditions were usually led by the Danish kings, but they were composed by warriors from all over Scandinavia, and they eventually brought home more than 100 tons of silver. During the period when the Vikings extracted this money, the people of the English nation were not as skilled at sea-faring as their Scandinavian cousins, whose raiding voyages acrosspayment of the Danegeld to the Vikings took place in 856. English payment, of 10,000 pounds (3,732 kg) of silver, was also made in 991 following the Viking victory at the Battle of Maldon in Essex, when King Aethelred "The Unready" was advised by Archbishop Sigeric of Canterbury and the aldermen of the south-western provinces to buy off the Vikings rather than continue the armed struggle.
In 994 the Danes, under King Sweyn Forkbeard and Olaf Trygvason, returned and laid siege to London. They were once more bought off, and the amount of silver paid impressed the Danes with the idea that it was more profitable to extort payments from the English than to take whatever booty they could plunder.

by the grand-children of Ulfríkr in commemoration of his receiving two danegelds in England.
Further payments were made in 1002, and especially in 1007 when Aethelred bought two years peace with the Danes for 36,000 pounds (13,436 kg) of silver. In 1012, following the capture and murder of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the sack of Canterbury, the Danes were bought off with another 48,000 pounds (17,916 kg) of silver.
In 1016 Sweyn Forkbeard's son, Canute, became King of England. After two years he felt sufficiently in control of his new kingdom to the extent of being able to pay off all but 40 ships of his invasion fleet, which were retained as a personal bodyguard, with a huge Danegeld of 72,000 pounds (26,873 kg) of silver collected nationally, plusconventional closed magnetic circuit is formed by the permanent magnet 718 on the ground plate 71 side, the permanent magnet 718 on the lock yoke 727 side, the second yoke 72 and the lock yoke 727.

Irish masseuse rejects Armstrong's apology
Lance Armstrong's former masseuse has rejected his apology after he admitted bullying her for speaking out about his cheating.
Dubliner Emma O'Reilly, who the Texan cyclist sued after she publicly denounced his use of performance-enhancing drugs, said his confession was "old news" to her.
In his interview with Oprah Winfrey, Armstrong said he had bullied O'Reilly for telling the truth about his drug-taking.
When asked how he felt about labelling her a "hore", he said: "not good."
"I was just on the attack, Oprah," he said.
"Territory being threatened, team being threatened, reputation being threatened - I'm on attack."
Speaking on ITV's 'Daybreak', Ms O'Reilly said she had missed a call from Armstrong on Sunday because of poor coverage, but that he had sent a text saying: "This is Lance,only ever spoken about it because I hated seeing what some of the riders were going through, because not all the riders were comfortable with cheating as Lance was.
"You could see when they went over to the dark side their personalities change, and I always felt it was an awful shame - these were young lads in the prime of their life having to make this awful decision, kind of living the dream, yet the dream is a nightmare.
"That was always why I had spoken out - it wasn't about Lance, it was about drugs and cycling."
O'Reilly worked with Armstrong's US Postal Service team from 1996 to 2000 as he began to dominate the Tour de France. | {

Despite the large numbers of young children whose home language is not English, there is limited systematic research on the course of their English language learning. Poverty only increases the challenges of dual language development in this growing segment of the U.S child population. Lack of information about the normative course of dual language learning raises challenges for early assessment and intervention and has important implications for the health and well-being of these children. Given that Latino children make-up the largest group of English language learners (ELL) in the United States and lag behind both African- Americans and Whites in their educational attainment, understanding their learning of English and Spanish during the preschool period has important public health consequences. The proposed study assesses dual language development in low-incomeuse of the mixer with all-virgin materials because the apparatus had a low production rate with the grid in place.

There is a disincentive for polygamous husbands to spend too much time with any particular wife, as this would tend to provoke jealousy among the rest and interfere with the smooth functioning of the household. On the other hand, in a polygamous society there are plenty of footloose bachelors who are willing to keep lonely wives company.

(PhysOrg.com) -- Siberia's Lake Baikal, the world's oldest, deepest, and largest freshwater lake, has provided scientists with insight into the ways that climate change affects water temperature, which in turn affects life in the lake. The study is published in the journal PLoS ONE today.
"Lake Baikal has the greatest biodiversity of any lake in the world," explained co-author Stephanie Hampton, deputy director of UC Santa Barbara's National Center for Ecological Analysis & Synthesis (NCEAS). "And, thanks to the dedication of three generations of a family of Russian | {

scientists, we have remarkable data on climate and lake temperature."
Beginning in the 1940's, Russian scientist Mikhail Kozhov took frequent and detailed measurements of the lake's temperature. His descendants continued the practice, including his granddaughter, Lyubov Izmest'eva at Irkutsk State University. She is a co-author of the study and a core member of the NCEAS team now exploring this treasure trove of scientific and historical records.
First author Steve Katz, of NOAA's Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary, explained that the research team discovered many climate variability signals, called teleconnections, in the data. For example, changes in Lake Baikal water temperature correlate with monthly variability in El Niño indices, reflecting sea surface temperatures over the Pacific Ocean tens of thousands of kilometers away. At the same time, Lake Baikal's temperatures areto forecast consequences of climate variability."

The scientists found that seasonality of Lake Baikal's surface water temperatures relate to the fluctuating intensity and path of the jet stream on multiple time scales. Although the lake has warmed over the past century, the changing of seasons was not found to trend in a single direction, such as later winters.
The climate indices reflect alterations in jet stream strength and trajectory, and these dynamics collectively appear to forecast seasonal onset in Siberia about three months in advance, according to the study. Lake Baikal's seasonality also tracked decadal-scale variations in the Earth's rotational velocity. The speed of the Earth's rotation determines the length of a day, which differs by milliseconds from day | {

Forgotten Bahrain
For all intents and purposes, Bahrain is forgotten. The people of Bahrain and their struggle will never get the attention and admiration of people and governments in the West.
This week, it was rather ironic to watch and listen to BBC coverage of Bahrain in comparison to their coverage of Syria. Activists who were interviewed were treated like criminals, while Syrian activists are allowed to make all sorts of claims, even claims that are not substantiated. The BBC sneered at the use of fire bombs by some protesters in Bahrain, while Syrian activist are permitted to call for the use of arms on the air. Hillary Clinton called on the Syrian people to keep their arms and “logistical” help that has been provided to theFree Syrian Army (which is a collection of bands and gangs operating under names derived from Islamic history and from rulers of gas and oil kingdoms). Yet, the spokesperson of the US Department of State called on the protesters of Bahrain to show “restraint.” If she called on the protesters in Syria to show restraint she would have been fired.
The struggle of the people of Bahrain is as old as the history of modern Bahrain. The political dynamics in Bahrain can not be reduced to the sectarian framework that is now being imposed by the Bahraini royal family and by the Saudi and Qatari media. Western media simply follows suit, and they unfailingly refer to the protests and opposition in Bahrain in sectarian terms.

fifth among NFL quarterbacks this season and only Robert Griffin III and Cam Newton have more touchdowns.
The 49ers matchup against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday isn't as good as it sounds on paper. St. Louis boasts a top-half defense in the nearly all counting categories and played San Francisco to a tie just three weeks ago.
Nevertheless, based on what we have already seen, I have no problem calling Kaepernick an every-week start in 10-team leagues.
Ryan Fitzpatrick (Buffalo Bills)
Just about everyone who has hit the quarterback waiver-wire has given Fitzpatrick a shot this season. As he's wont to do, the Bills signal-caller has been both intermittently brilliant and horrifying from a fantasy perspective.
Look for a return to the former on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Coming into Weekeven possible) in regards to Henne's fantasy prospects. In no way, shape or form do I believe in Henne as the answer in Jacksonville, nor do I think he'll consistently replicate his top-shelf performances of the last two weeks long term.
As a one-week replacement who is facing the Bills, though? Henne is probably the best guy who is actually available in just about every league.
Despite tearing up the Texans and Titans to the tune of 615 yards and six touchdowns against one interception, the Jaguars quarterback is owned in only 8.1 percent of ESPN leagues. I guess you could say fantasy owners aren't paying attention—or are just familiar with Henne's previous work in the NFL.
Still, a matchup against the Bills shouldn't stop Henne's string of stellar play. Though | {

Saber Marionette J Collection 1
What They SayWelcome to Japoness, an all-male society where the only females are high-performance emotionless androids known as "marionettes". Martial arts student and all-around nice guy, Otaru, accidentally discovers and wakes a marionette named Lime. He soon learns that Lime is very different from other marionettes; she has emotions! After waking two more emotion-filled marionettes, Cherry and Bloodberry, Otaru faces tough challenges ahead of him as he battles the evil Faust and his Saber Dolls. Can Otaru rise up to the challenge while teaching the marionettes about human emotions? Get ready for the love comedy of the year!
The Review!Saber Marionette J was among the first TV series that Bandai released in the US after their founding the AnimeVillage imprint and it was sub onlyjust trying to get by on his own and move up in the world. His encounter early on with his friend Hanagata (whom shall be forthwith known as The Dandy) that causes him to spill the fish he's selling ends up costing him his job. Discouraged at this point he wanders off just to get away from everything and ends up checking out a mueseum/temple like building. Once inside, he accidentally kickstarts some of the ancient machinery and suddenly springing to life is Lime, a rather emotional marionette.
Marionettes, robots that look like women, are basically emotionless. They provide some needs and do various labor for the men of Terra II, but things they don't do is laugh, cry, get angry or disobey orders from the men.

Amy Schumer. (Getty)
This week Amy Schumer released her book, The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo, and has kicked things off with some signings in and around New York. But the publicity push has been overshadowed by a growing backlash to a number of outrageous statements made Kurt Metzger, one of the writers on her TV show.
Metzger went on a rampage this week via his social media channels, mocking women who attempt to call out alleged rapists. This came after some people apparently tried to call out another comedian who had allegedly raped a number of women, which led to that comedian getting banned from UCB, a move Metzger likened to "mob justice." His overall "point" came off critical of the way rape victims report being the victimof a crime, mocking those who don't go straight to the police to file a report.
He was relentless, firing off a slew of tweets and Facebook rants—he's since deleted a few of them... and added a few more. Schumer was called out to respond, given their friendship and working relationship, and while she initially blocked people trying to address her about it on Twitter, she eventually responded saying she was "disappointed" in Metzger. He claims, "I specifically told her to do exactly what she did." (Hey it's a pattern: Metzger told Schumer what to do! Metzger told rape victims what to do!)

Conceptual foundations of schizophrenia: II. Disintegration and division.
This is the second of two papers that aim to identify some cultural themes and institutional processes that shaped the development of schizophrenia as a disease concept. A number of domains within 19th century European history are explored for evidence of the concept of the divided or disintegrated person. These include German academic psychiatry, Mesmerism and hypnosis, neurology and neurophysiology, psychoanalysis and German Romantic literature, and its descendants within a wider European literature. Representations of division or disintegration are evident in all these domains, enjoying widespread currency and penetration throughout the 19th century. These culturally based ideas, combined with the idea of degeneration, were important elements in the foundation of the schizophrenia concept.with the Childhood Cancer Association.

Delayed repair of tendon to bone injuries leads to decreased biomechanical properties and bone loss.
Repair of the torn rotator cuff tendon is a common procedure performed in the shoulder. In the clinical setting, a significant delay between rotator cuff tear and subsequent repair often exists. The purpose of this study was to investigate the biomechanical properties and bone density of the tendon to bone repair site after acute and delayed repair. The supraspinatus tendons in bilateral shoulders of 60 rats were transected from the bone. In the acute group, the tendons were immediately repaired with suture. In the delayed group, the tendons were allowed to retract and repaired in a second procedure after a 3-week delay. Cross sectional area and biomechanical properties were evaluated.

In the conventional solar cell, a plurality of photovoltaic elements 14 are connected with each other in order to generate high electric output. Therefore, in order to ensure insulation properties between the photovoltaic elements 14, the photovoltaic elements 14 are sealed with the front side sealing film 13A and the backside sealing film 13B which have high insulation properties.

so she could spend time on Super Bowl Sunday with Flores and his family. However, Hernandez indicated during redirect
examination that what she told a police detective about the time of the
shooting was that the victim had called her crying the night that she died and
asked Hernandez to work for her because she and Flores had gotten into it
again. Hernandez stated that her memory
was better at that time than at the time of trial. On further cross-examination, she again
acknowledged having made the later statement to a defense investigator that,
when the victim called, she was not crying and was looking forward to spending
time with Flores and his family. Hernandez recounted that the victim said
three days before she died that she was going to leave Flores. Hernandez stated that, onthe same day,
Flores (who was very jealous) had told her that he would kill the victim if she
ever left him.
Frank Reyes, the victim=s
stepfather, testified that Super Bowl Sunday, January 26, 2003, was his
birthday. He said that, on that morning,
he told the victim he was going to go to his sister=s
house later in the day. He related that
the victim came to his sister=s
house about 7 p.m. and that she left
after he had eaten saying she would be back and did not want him to leave
because she had forgotten his birthday present.
He testified she never returned.
Ellie Muro, the victim=s
mother, testified that on the evening of the murder Flores
called her and told her he had killed the victim. She said that, when he placed the phone
down, she heard a Agagging
kind of | {
"pile_set_name": [

]
} | 39,901,993 |
noise.@ She indicated that she thought the victim was
gagging on her own blood.
Anthony Lopez, who was living with Flores=s
mother at the time, testified that the victim was in and out of their house all
the time. He stated that he spent all of
Super Bowl Sunday drinking, a super bowl tradition. He said he went to bed about 9:30 p.m. He indicated he was subsequently awakened by
his daughter banging on his bedroom door.
He said Flores came to his bedroom
carrying a shotgun and saying that he had shot the victim but that he had not
meant to do it and was sorry. Lopez
recounted that he Atook off
out of the house@ to go
use his neighbor=s
phone. He recalled telling police he did
not want to get trapped in the house. He
said that he heard anothershot go off while he was on the phone with the
dispatcher.
On cross-examination, Lopez acknowledged that he
thought the victim was dead and did not try to pull her out of the room where
she was. He also acknowledged having
told the grand jury that the victim and Flores appeared to be happy
together. He said the victim never talked
to him about leaving Flores.
Darrell Hobbs, a retired Seminole police officer,
testified that on the night in question he was shot as he approached the back
door of the residence when he responded to the call about shots fired at the
residence. He said Flores knew he was a
police officer because about a month before he had taken a criminal complaint
from Flores.
Ronnie Pipkin, a lieutenant with the Seminole
Police Department, testified that he went to the residence | {
"pile_set_name": [
"FreeLaw",
"FreeLaw"
]
} | 39,901,995 |
in question after Hobbs had been shot. He indicated that he received the call around
10:25 p.m. or 10:30 p.m. on January 26.
He said he was able to talk Flores out
of the house at about 1 a.m.
Chad Hallum, also a lieutenant with the Seminole
Police Department, testified about the circumstances of Flores
being talked out of the residence. While
recalling his efforts at collecting evidence in the house, Lieutenant Hallum
said that he found a clump of hair in a sofa chair in the bedroom where the
victim=s body
was found. Lieutenant Hallum
acknowledged that the lab of the Texas Department of Public Safety was unable
to determine if the hair was the victim=s
or how it was removed.
Angela Rodriguez, Kathy McCord, and Aaron
Fullerton, all employees of the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab in Lubbock, testifiedas to
their testing of blood and weapons recovered at the scene of the murder.
Jerry Douglas Spencer testified that he was a
forensic pathologist and the medical examiner of Lubbock County. He indicated that the authorities in Gaines County
asked him to perform an autopsy on the remains of the victim. He indicated that he found soot residue in
the area of her right ear or temple, which usually indicated that the weapon
used had been in contact or very close to the body part where the entrance
wound was located. He said the
trajectory appeared to be somewhat downward.
He indicated that an entry wound to the back of her head also appeared
to track downward. He acknowledged that
he was not able to tell whether she was in an upright position at the time the
shots were | {
"pile_set_name": [
"FreeLaw",

]
} | 39,901,997 |
fired. He identified the cause
of the victim=s death
as shotgun wounds to the right temple and back of the head.
On cross-examination, Dr. Spencer testified that,
after the first of the two gunshot wounds, the victim would have clearly been
unconscious but could have survived for a couple of hours. On redirect examination, Dr. Spencer
indicated that, if either of the two shotgun wounds entered the hole in the
wall that was about twelve inches off the floor, it would have been consistent
with the victim being in a sitting or kneeling position. When the prosecutor suggested that, if the
victim were standing up, whomever fired the shot would have to have had their
hand Amighty
high in the air,@ Dr.
Spencer responded, AOr
standing on a ladder.@
Mickey Browne testified that he is the chief of
police for the City ofSeminole. He said he had four years of experience as a
homicide investigator before becoming chief of police. He indicated he had been chief for about
sixteen years. He said that, when the
victim=s mother
talked to Flores on the phone while they were waiting for him to come out, she
told him that she could hear moaning in the background and that Flores asked
her, ACan you
hear your baby dying?@ He testified that he found three holes in the
room where the victim was found: one in
the ceiling, one in the wall, and one in the floor. He related that, while he found no projectile
as one would have expected if the holes in the ceiling or floor had resulted
from the shooting, he did find a projectile outside the house near the outside
location of the | {
"pile_set_name": [

same hole that was observed in the interior wall. He expressed his opinion, based upon all of
his observations and in light of his years of training, that the victim was in
a kneeling or sitting position at the time she was shot.
On cross-examination, Chief Browne acknowledged
that the victim=s mother
also told him that Flores had earlier called
her at her house and told her that he had killed the victim. He also stated that in his opinion the first
shot would have resulted in instantaneous incapacitation.
Flores contends
that the evidence is insufficient to show that he murdered the victim while in
the course of committing kidnapping. A
person commits capital murder if he or she commits murder in the course of
committing or attempting to commit kidnapping.
Tex. Penal Code Ann. '19.03(a)(2) (Vernon Supp. 2006). A personkidnapping. Hines v. State,
75 S.W.3d 444, 447 (Tex. Crim. App. 2002).
A jury could reasonably determine from the
evidence that Flores restrained the victim by using or threatening the use of
deadly force when he approached her at close range with the shotgun and that
Flores, rather than seek medical treatment for the victim, continued to
restrain her until she died, shooting her again somewhat later, shooting one
officer coming to her aid, and holding others at bay for several hours before
surrendering. We hold that the evidence
is legally and factually sufficient to show that Flores kidnapped the victim,
restraining her by using or threatening the use of deadly force.
Flores contends that the evidence is factually
insufficient to show kidnapping because:
(1) the victim lived with him at his mother=s
home; (2) the victim, though unmarried, had moved | {
"pile_set_name": [
"FreeLaw",
"FreeLaw"
]
} | 39,902,001 |
in with him; (3) Lopez, the
man who lived with his mother, never saw Flores and the victim fight and said
that they appeared to him to be happy; (4) the victim was looking forward to
spending super bowl with Flores and his family and called to get someone to
cover her at McDonald=s
so she could be with him; and (5) in examining the victim=s body, there was no way to determine
her position when the shotgun was fired, such as whether she was kneeling or
sitting.
Flores=s
argument does not mention earlier testimony by Hernandez that she had told a
detective that the victim was crying when she called the evening of the murder
to ask her to fill in for her at McDonald=s,
indicating that she and Flores had gotten into it again and that her memoryan upper class equestrian happening that might only feed ongoing accusations of patrician elitism, accompanied by potentially ruinous photo ops and endless late night jokes, of which there already have been plenty – just ask Stephen Colbert. The New York Times reported:
“As millions tune in to the Olympics in prime time this summer, just before Mr. Romney will be reintroducing himself to the nation at the Republican convention, viewers are likely to see ‘up close and personal’ segments on NBC about the Romneys and dressage, a sport of six-figure horses and $1,000 saddles. The Romneys declared a loss of $77,000 on their 2010 tax returns for the share in the care and feeding of Rafalca.”
But several media outlets — including the Times, CNN, and the British newspaper The | {

Telegraph have reported that Mitt Romney will in fact take time from the campaign to attend the opening ceremonies of the Olympics with his wife on July 27 (the Romney horse’s event begins Aug. 2). He was, after all, head of the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games. And an appearance at the opening, filled with extravagant special effects, music and patriotic flag-waving for the U.S. team, is safer than showing up at an event where your wife’s horse is worth several times the mean yearly per capita income for individuals in the United States.
So family loyalty is trumped by political expedience, but while in London, Romney will find time to attend — you guessed it — a private fundraising dinner. According to The Telegraph, “The price ofbut not shut, for it yielded to his touch and

in the corner furthest from the door. Marsland glanced round the
room curiously. It was the typical "best bedroom" of an old English
farm-house, built more than a hundred years before the present
generation came to life, with their modern ideas of fresh air and light
and sanitation. The ceiling was so low that Marshland almost touched it
with his head as he walked, and the small narrow-paned windows, closely
shuttered from without, looked as though they had been hermetically
sealed for centuries.
The room contained furniture as ancient as its surroundings: quaint
old chests of drawers, bureaux, clothes-presses, and some old
straight-backed oaken chairs. On the walls were a few musty old
books on shelves, a stuffed pointer in a | {

turned to Marsland.
"I think you said you found the door open, Mr. Marsland. Do you mean
wide open or partly closed?"
"I found it wide open," replied Marsland. "I thought at the time that
it had not been properly closed and that the wind had blown it open."
"That means that the murderer got in through this window and left by
the door," said Inspector Payne to Detective Gillett. "He left it open
when he fled."
"But what about Westaway's theory that he was in the house when Mr.
Marsland came here?" asked Gillett. "What about the crash Mr. Marsland
heard when the picture fell down? What about the plan of the hidden
money that disappeared after Mr. Marsland left?"
It was plain that Detective Gillett, who had to investigate the crime,
was not in sympathy with Inspector Payne's methodgive their captors any
information they were tortured. But these brave lads refused to give
the information the Germans wanted, and ultimately they succeeded in
making their escape during an attack. I've listened to many of the
experiences of our brave lads, but I don't think I've heard anything
worse than the treatment of Brett and this poor fellow who has been
murdered."
"Was it at Armentieres this happened?" asked Marsland.
"I think it was," replied the inspector. "Then you've heard the story,
too, Mr. Marsland?"
"No, I was thinking of something else," he answered.
"We must look up Brett," said Crewe. "Just write down his address,
inspector--if you don't mind."
"He lives at No. 41 Whitethorn Gardens," said the police officer.
"But I don't think you will find him there to-day. His landlady, Mrs.
Penfield, promised to send me word as soon | {

} | 39,902,141 |
assumed from these
facts that Mr. Brett had taken his brushes and shaving things with him.
As far as appearances went, his departure had not been hurried.
"A very nice set of rooms," said Crewe. "I think you said you promised
to let Inspector Murchison know when Mr. Brett returns. I shall get the
inspector to ring me up when he hears from you. There are one or two
questions I should like to ask Mr. Brett. When he comes back, will you
please tell him I called?"
Crewe's next act was to get his car and visit the garage kept by
Gosford in High Street. Inside the building he saw the proprietor
standing by a large grey motor-car in the centre of the garage,
watching a workman in blue overalls who was doing something to one of
the wheels.
"Nothis sense of official importance, and he waited for her to
begin.
"It is about the Cliff Farm murder," she said in a low voice.
"Oh!" It was an exclamation in which astonishment and anticipation of
official delight were blended. "And do you--do you know anything about
it?" he asked.
"I am not sure what you will think of my story--whether there is any
clue in it. I must leave that for you to judge. But I feel that I ought
to tell you all that I do know."
"Quite right," said the sergeant. His official manner, rising like a
tide, was submerging his social sense of inequality. "There is nothing
like telling the police the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth. It is always the best way." His social sense made a last
manifestation before it threw | {

was about to bow her out of the station when he suddenly remembered
that she had not signed her statement.
"Would you please read through this and sign it?" he asked. "A very
important statement--clear and concise. I feel I must congratulate you
about it, Miss Maynard."
She read through the sergeant's summary of her narrative, but was
unable to congratulate him on the way in which he had done his work.
She felt that the statement she and her lover had compiled, to guide
her in her narrative to the police, was a far more comprehensive
document.
CHAPTER XVI
MISS MAYNARD'S statement made such an impression on Sergeant Westaway
that he determined to ride over to Staveley that afternoon and lay it
before Inspector Murchison. He was so restless and excited at the new
phase of the Cliff Farm murder whichthe situation,"
said the Scotland Yard man patronizingly. "Westaway, myself and Heather
searched the house, the outbuildings and the grounds for clues--for
traces left behind unwittingly by the murderer. Our impression then was
that the murderer had got away as soon as he could--everything pointed
to that. But in the light of this girl's statement we must now search
for clues purposely hidden by the murderer. What was Marsland doing
when he went outside the house and left the key in the door so as to
let himself in again? Hiding something, of course! And where would he
hide it?
"There is only one place we haven't searched, and that is the well,"
continued Gillett. "The reason I didn't have it emptied before was
because I was not looking for hidden traces--the circumstances of the
crime suggested that the murderer had | {

undisturbed. Brett, thinking there was no one in the house, opened the
door with Lumsden's key. The Granges who were on the top floor did not
call out to him, as they had no satisfactory explanation to offer for
exploring the house. They saw Brett staggering up the stairs carrying
something on his left shoulder. At first they could not make out what
it was, as it was dark inside the house. Half-way up the stairs Brett
came to a halt to shift his burden, and he turned on an electric torch
in order to see where he was. By the light of the torch the Granges
saw that Brett was carrying the body of a man. They thought at first
that Lumsden had been injured in an accident to the motor-car, but the
fact that theyM N

say
by reflecting on the hints placed in the texts. Isn't there something
about those texts that strikes you as peculiar?"
Marsland examined them attentively for some time, and shook his head.
"I'm afraid I'm not sufficiently well up in the Scriptures to notice
anything peculiar about them. I should say they were from the Old
Testament, but I couldn't tell you what part of it."
"The texts are from the Old Testament, from Jeremiah XXV and Isaiah
VII. They are remarkable for the fact that they represent two
passages--the only two instances in the whole Bible--where the writers
used cryptograms to hide their actual meaning. In the first instance
the prophet, Jeremiah, living in dangerous times, veils his attack
on the King of Babylon by writing Sheshak for Babel--Babylon; that

raced towards the end of the headland. Then the foremost disappeared
over the cliff with a scream. Brett, endeavouring to double in his
tracks at the edge of the headland, had slipped and gone over.
Marsland was standing on the edge of the cliff, peering down into the
sea mist which veiled the water below, when Crewe reached his side.
Crewe drew him back.
"Come away if you don't want to follow him," he said. "We shall have to
get the police out to look for his body, but perhaps the sea will carry
it away."

New French Stamps to Celebrate 50th Anniversary of Fashion House Sonia Rykiel
17 Jan 2018 Wed
Like every year since 2000, France is going to take help from famous designers to develop designs for its heart-shaped Love stamps for Valentine’s Day. The first stamp of the series was designed by Yves Saint Laurent in 2000. The latest one was released on 12th January by a fashion house founded in 1968 by Sonia Rykiel. The stamps will also celebrate the 50th anniversary of this fashion house, with the year “1968” printed below.
Sonia Rykiel’s designs are popular for red, black and white stripes. The designer also used a lot of symbolic hearts in his designs. The current artistic directorMiss Fisk to work in Washington, D. C., in which city he also was employed. In 1924 Miss Fisk, who was then attending college in Ohio, *748 in a letter to Mr. Fleming stated that she was "lonesome for and missed" him and urged him "to send her flowers and candy since other girls at college were receiving gifts from their boy friends," and she asserted that "unless she heard from him she would have to return because she could not bear to be away from him without hearing from him." Mr. Fleming showed this letter to Mrs. Fleming and they conferred as to the proper thing for him to do about it. He answered it in the presence of Mrs. Fleming, telling Miss Fisk that he was | {

]
} | 39,902,607 |
happy without her and wished to be let alone and advising her to interest herself in other men. From 1924 to 1932, a period of about eight years, there was a substantial break in contact between Miss Fisk and Mr. Fleming. The slight association shown during this period does not indicate any effectual alienation of Mr. Fleming's affections by the defendant. According to Mrs. Fleming's direct testimony her husband had been dutiful up until 1932, but upon cross-examination she admitted that "she had said on direct examination that her marriage had been happy until 1932, but that now she wanted to change that; that for a number of years prior thereto he had beaten her." Sexual congress between Mr. and Mrs. Fleming ceased in February, 1932; in Aprilof that year he left her; in July she filed suit against him for divorce a mensa et thoro. Mrs. Fleming explained in her cross-examination in the instant case that she did not mention Miss Fisk's name in the divorce suit because "she did not have proof." In her sworn divorce complaint Mrs. Fleming alleged that her husband had "committed brutal assaults on her," had "abandoned and deserted" her, and that his "desertion . . . is final, complete and . . . beyond hope or a reasonable expectation of a reconciliation." She swore also in the divorce complaint that Mr. Fleming had failed properly to clothe and support her and their minor children, whereby they had been forced to seek aid for the necessities of life, and | {

that she had found evidence that her husband was being unfaithful to her.
The only evidence of any association between Mr. Fleming and Miss Fisk of such nature as to indicate that his affections had been transferred to Miss Fisk relates to 1933-1935, a period wholly subsequent to the separation and to the filing of the divorce suit.
Giving the plaintiff the benefit of the rules of law above set forth, and bearing in mind especially the eight-year period of substantial disassociation between Mr. Fleming and Miss Fisk from 1924 to 1932, we think that no reasonable juryman could properly conclude under the evidence that Miss Fisk intentionally or effectively caused the break between Mr. and Mrs. Fleming in the first part of 1932, or that that break was otherDurovo, Kochyovsky District, Perm Krai

For more than a decade, scientists have wondered about the nature of the dark material that coats long, linear fractures and other relatively young geological features on Europa's surface. Its association with young terrains suggests the material has erupted from within Europa, but with limited data available, the material's chemical composition has remained elusive.
"If it's just salt from the ocean below, that would be a simple and elegant solution for what the dark, mysterious material is," said research lead Kevin Hand, a planetary scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

The concept of liminality, developed by anthropologist van Gennep in his work on rites of passage,[@R25] describes a state of 'being inbetween' pre and post 'ritual' states. Turner described liminality as a space in which individuals are 'neither one thing nor another or maybe both',[@R26] and a transitional intervening period between 'two relatively fixed or stable conditions'.[@R26]
The emerging adults in this study were already in a liminal state, between childhood and older/full adulthood.

This story was originally published by Reveal. It appears here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, who is departing January 2 amid multiple ethics investigations, leaves a legacy of widespread attacks on science. Zinke was in charge of balancing the protection of national parks, endangered species, waterways, and other resources with public uses on 500 million acres of public land.
Here are six ways Zinke rejected or impeded science during his nearly two years as Interior secretary:
Changes in staffing
Zinke set an anti-science tone early by reassigning the Interior Department’s top climate change official to a job managing fossil fuel royalties. Thirty-two other senior career employees also were reassignedlast year. He suspended dozens of Bureau of Land Management resource advisory councils and reconvened them with new responsibilities to expedite oil and gas permitting and meet other Trump administration priorities. He filled a national parks advisory committee with big donors and businesspeople. He appointed former lobbyists, including deputy secretary and former oil company lobbyist David Bernhardt, to key jobs.
Threats to ancient treasures and birds
Under Zinke, BLM put countless archaeological sites at risk by auctioning off oil and gas leases in southeast Utah. Zinke expedited lease sales to oil companies that encompassed tens of thousands of acres near two national monuments in Utah.
Also, by crafting a new legal opinion, the Interior Department’s solicitor’s office erased a policy that had been used by Republicans and Democrats since the Nixon | {

]
} | 39,902,924 |
administration to protect migratory birds. Zinke’s top lawyer declared that it’s no longer illegal for companies to accidentally kill birds with oil wastewater ponds, wind turbines, and other industrial practices.
Removal of climate change references
Every mention of the human role in causing climate change was removed from a draft of a major National Park Service scientific report on sea-level rise and storm surge. The references were reinserted after Reveal exposed the attempted censorship. But the data and an interactive website that was supposed to be made public still have been blocked from release.
A small New England national park, the New Bedford Whaling National Historical Park, was told that mentioning climate change would raise eyebrows with the new administration. So the park’s managers removed every mention from a major reportrelates to Zinke’s 10 priorities, according to guidelines first reported by the Washington Post.
Zinke also put a high school football buddy with no scientific expertise in charge of reviewing proposals for scientific grants at the Interior Department. This review, managed by Steve Howke, created a bottleneck that slowed the funding of research, according to the Guardian.
Misstating climate science
In his last weeks in office, Zinke misinformed the public about a major report on climate change impacts, the National Climate Assessment, which was released in late November. In a television interview, Zinke erroneously asserted that the report was slanted.
“It appears they took the worst-case scenarios and they built predictions upon that,” he said.

The Caucasian nation might be predominantly Christian Orthodox, but it also harbours a valuable, often forgotten, Muslim heritage. The architecture and photography project “Indigenous Outsiders” carried by Suzanne Harris-Brandts, Angela Wheeler and Vladimer Shioshvili aims to let people discover the old wooden mosques of the Adjara province and raise awareness about their preservation.
Both mountainous and maritime, Georgia’s small Adjara province lays right at the border with Turkey; a boundary that during much of the 20th century was impossible to cross due to the Cold War. At that time, Georgia was part of the Soviet Union while Turkey was the main Western ally in the region. But few abroad know that, from the 16th century until 1878, Adjara belonged to the Ottoman Empire, a period during which its populationbecame Muslim. This is one of the reasons why Adjara still enjoys an autonomous status within the Republic of Georgia. The other province enjoying a similar status according to the constitution is Abkhazia which has been de facto independent since the 1992-1993 war.
After decades of state sanctioned anti-religious communist policies, and a post-Soviet revival of the Orthodox faith in Adjara, Muslims are now a minority in the province. Near the coast, in urban areas like Georgia’s second-largest city Batumi, few traces remain of the Ottoman past. Most Muslim communities live inland where many small Islamic architectural gems are hidden. In villages in this mountainous and green area, many wooden mosques built during the 19th century are still standing. While they might look like normal houses from outside, their | {

interiors are finely decorated and painted.
These buildings caught the attention of two researchers and one photographer, Canadian architect and PhD Candidate Suzanne Harris-Brandts, American PhD student Angela Wheeler, and Georgian-American photographer Vladimer Shioshvili, who decided to join forces in order to document this precarious and overlooked heritage through the ongoing project “Indigenous Outsiders”. In 2017 and 2018, they travelled to Adjara several times and researched thoroughly. However, due to the lack of written sources, much remains unknown about the wooden mosques. The team will present their material at an exhibition in Tbilisi, opening on June 22. For those who cannot come, it will still be possible to find information about many mosques and see pictures and architectural plans on the project’s website.
How did you start this project?
Harris-Brandts: InDonald Trump is keeping Americans in the dark about his earliest conversations and decisions as president-elect, bucking a long-standing practice intended to ensure the public has a watchful eye on its new leader.
Mr Trump on Thursday refused to allow journalists to travel with him to Washington for his historic first meetings with President Barack Obama and congressional leaders. The Republican's top advisers rebuffed news organisations' requests for a small "pool" of journalists to trail him as he attended the meetings.
The decision was part of an opaque pattern in Mr Trump's moves since his victory on Tuesday. He was entirely out of sight on Wednesday. His aides said he was huddled with advisors at his offices in New York. His team has not put out a daily schedule, or | {

offered any detailed updates on how he has spent his time. They have not acknowledged phone calls or other contact with world leaders.
When Russian President Vladimir Putin sent a congratulatory telegram to Trump on Wednesday, Moscow spread the word. A phone call with British Prime Minster Theresa May was announced in London. The pattern was repeated for calls with leaders of Israel, Egypt, South Korea and Australia.
The White House typically releases statements on the president's phone calls with foreign leaders, providing some details about the conversation. Past presidents-elect have had early briefings with journalists, even in confusing first hours after Election Day.
But early signs suggest Mr Trump is willing to break protocol when it comes to press access and transparency.
As a candidate, Mr Trump railed against the pressas "disgusting" and "dishonest." He refused to allow a pool of campaign reporters and photographers to fly on his plane to events, sometimes starting his rallies before his press corps had arrived. The practice did not extend to his running mate, Mike Pence, who was followed by a traditional pool of journalists.
President-elect Trump says he looks forward to working with Obama at White House meeting
News organisations had tried for weeks to coordinate a pool of journalists to travel with Mr Trump immediately after Election Day if he won. The Associated Press is among those reaching out to Trump advisors about press access.
Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said the president-elect's team expects "to operate a traditional pool and look forward to implementing our plans in the near future."

Correspondents' Association, which coordinates press pools and advocates for transparency at the White House, urged Mr Trump to allow journalists to cover his meetings and other movements.
"This decision could leave Americans blind about his whereabouts and well-being in the event of a national crisis," said Jeff Mason, White House correspondent for Reuters and the group's president. "Not allowing a pool of journalists to travel with and cover the next president of the United States is unacceptable."
Mr Trump's meeting with Obama in the Oval Office was recorded by the pool of White House reporters, photographers and TV journalists who cover the president.
Every president and president-elect in recent memory has traveled with a pool of journalists when leaving the White House grounds.

A pool of reporters and photographers was in the motorcade when President John F. Kennedy was shot and killed in Dallas. The pool was just steps away from President Ronald Reagan when he was shot outside a hotel in the District of Columbia, and was stationedoutside his hospital as he recovered. The pool also travels on vacation and foreign trips and at times captures personal, historic moments of the presidency.
The practice makes journalists eyewitnesses to how the president conducts business, rather than relying on secondhand accounts. They often capture more intimate moments between the president and people he greets. The White House, meanwhile, depends on having journalists nearby at all times to relay the president's first comments on breaking news.
News organisations take turns serving in the small group, paying their way and sharing the material collected in the pool with the larger press corps. The pool also covers official events at the White House when space doesn't allow for the full press corps.

of security, with the exact timing of their travel kept secret and streets often blocked off around their events. That leaves news organisations dependent on the White House to facilitate the pool coverage by arranging security clearances and transportation.
Mr Obama also has looked for new ways to limit White House press access.
On Thursday, photographers were not allowed to shoot a meeting between first lady Michelle Obama and Melania Trump, who joined her husband on the White House visit.
The White House released a photo taken by a staff photographer and circulated it on social media. The AP does not distribute such photos.

The Bucks are one of the surprising teams in the NBA this year, sporting a 24-22 record heading into tonight’s contest. After finishing dead-last in the league last year with a 15-67 record, Milwaukee was set to begin its rebuild around forward Jabari Parker, the No. 2 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft, with new coach Jason Kidd leading the way.
Since, Parker has been lost for the season to an ACL injury, center Larry Sanders has gone off the deep end and a group of versatile, young players has led the Bucks to the No. 6 seed in the East | {

Kidd employs a balanced offense, its top-five scorers averaging between 11.8 and 15.6 points per game the last five.
Guard Khris Middleton has hit two-thirds of both his overall field goals and three-pointers recently, scoring mostly off the pass. He splits his shots evenly between the paint, the midrange and the outside. Middleton loves the corner threes but is also good from the top of the key. Really, he’s been solid from pretty much everywhere on the floor lately.

The defense of the Blazers, which has been pretty mediocre lately, will have to be turned up a notch to slow down Milwaukee. Portland has the No. 22 Defensive Rating in the NBA over the past five games and the lack of reliable depth is beginning to show, as the team has had a difficult time contesting shots consistently from both inside and outside of the arc recently.
Offensively, the Blazers have performed slightly better than on the defensive end, but most of that can be attributed to Aldridge, who’s averaged 33.7 points on 53.7 percent shooting in the three games since he returned from his initial thumb injury last week. Otherwise, the ball movement isn’t | {

Chiasson was the only roster player the Senators received in Tuesday's Spezza deal, along with forward prospects Nicholas Paul and Alex Guptill and a 2015 second-round pick.
"Chiasson is a young, big strong guy that has big potential, we think," general manager Bryan Murray told reporters Tuesday. "It looks like he has an ability to score points and goals, and he's a hard-working kid."
Murray likes how Chiasson fits in with the rest of the group currently assembled in Ottawa, which will have to work for points rather than rely on one or two players to produce them.
The 23-year-old right-winger could slide in on the second line, just behind Bobby Ryan on Ottawa's depthof his first three this past season. In doing so, he joined the likes of Teemu Selanne and Pat LaFontaine among players with nine-plus goals in their first 10 NHL games.

The Sultanate's untouched coral reefs and diverse marine life can rival those of other famed diving hotspots in the region like Malaysia and around Indonesia, according to William Tan, a famous Singaporean underwater photographer who recently went on a four-day diving expedition in the waters of Brunei Darussalam.
On his impressions of his first-time diving in Brunei waters, William told the Weekend Bulletin: "The fishes and creatures in the waters here are not afraid of people and it provided (great) opportunities to take pictures.
"In other famous diving sites (in other regions), the fishes would quickly swim away if they saw humans.
"Some of the marine life found in the waters of Brunei are rare ... (It would be) hard to find (them) in other countries."
The 47-year-old, who is also aprofessional violinist, has travelled around the world in his quest to photograph and document unique marine life. Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia, Taiwan and Solomon Island are just some of his previous diving destinations.
William has been taking underwater photos since 1995, and his masterworks have been featured in popular magazines such as Scuba Divers AustralAsia, Asia Divers, Easy Dive and Sport Diving.
"I never would have imagined to find so many different diving sites here in Brunei," he said, adding that he had come across an old oilrig, shipwrecks, coral reefs and sandy corals during his diving expedition.
With the assistance of Oceanic Quest, William and his friends were able to dive three times a day for the past four days. He was pleased to have captured stunning photos of | {

the rare marine life in the Sultanate.
Oceanic Quest, which is one of the top diving companies in the region, did a fantastic job looking after the safety of all divers involved in this trip, he added. "They did their job professionally."
William expressed his hope that Brunei would become a hot spot for divers from around the region.
However, in order to build Brunei's underwater eco-tourism, William stressed that more publicity was needed. He recalled that after he was commission to take photos and to publish a book for a village in Sulawesi island, tourists from all over began to descend on the village.
William also hoped that the Government of His Majesty the Sultan and Yang Di-Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam would take steps to protect the delicate marine life fromemerging technology.

Julie Huntsman Elected To Otsego 2000 Board

Rookie launches grand slam in first big-league at-bat
By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com
ARLINGTON -- Before the game on Saturday, Kevin Kouzmanoff was a discombobulated mess.
His plane to Dallas was delayed, he nearly missed his first pregame stretch with the big-league club and he had to ask a random reporter how to get to the dugout from the visitor's clubhouse at Ameriquest Field.
But when Kouzmanoff stepped to the plate with the bases loaded in the first inning of the Indians' eventual 6-5 victory over the Rangers, he certainly looked to be in his comfort zone.
Kouzmanoff swatted at Edinson Volquez's first-pitch fastball, sent it hurtling 417 feet over the center-field wall and found his place in baseball history. He became the third man to hit a grand slam | {
"pile_set_name": [
"Pile-CC",
"Pile-CC"
]
} | 39,903,228 |
in his first Major League at-bat, and, it's believed, the first to do so on the first pitch.
"It's pretty cool," Kouzmanoff said. "It's pretty hard to top that."
Thanks, in part, to the grand slam, the Indians were on top from beginning to end in this, their fifth straight victory.
Grady Sizemore led it off with a solo shot to the upper deck in right, Cliff Lee kept the Tribe ahead with seven strong innings of work and closer Tom Mastny avoided his first blown save in the ninth, thanks to right fielder Casey Blake's perfect throw to nail Ian Kinsler at the plate.
But the talk of the clubhouse was Kouzmanoff's impressive debut, which earned him some good-natured ribbing from his teammates.
Kouzmanoff was called up earlier in the day fromcall it right now,'" catcher Victor Martinez said. "'He's going to hit a grand slam in his first at-bat.'"
Said Lee: "I heard five or six guys say he was about to hit a home run."
When Kouzmanoff did just that, he joined the Phillies' Bill Duggleby (April 21, 1898) and the Marlins' Jeremy Hermida (Aug. 31, 2005) as the only players in history to hit a grand slam in their first plate appearance. Hermida's came on a 2-2 count. It is not known what Duggleby's count was, though he is not listed among the 23 players to have hit homers on the first pitch they ever faced.
Only one other player in history -- the Giants' Bobby Bonds on June 25, 1968 -- hit a grand slam in his first | {

Major League game. Buddy Bell (April 22, 1972) was the last Indians player to hit a grand slam for his first career homer.
Kouzmanoff, of course, didn't know any of these little nuggets of information at the time. He just knew he had made a nice first impression on his team, which benefited from the early production.
"You never know if it's going to stand the test of time," manager Eric Wedge said of the first-inning homer. "But it ended up being the difference for us in the ballgame."
Lee was a difference maker, as well, lasting seven innings for the first time in five starts and giving up four runs, only two of which were earned, on seven hits. Aided further by Martinez's sacrifice fly in the second, he lookedjudge asked.

Dynamic analysis of intraarticular pressure in the glenohumeral joint.
Dynamic analysis of intraarticular pressure was performed in 180 glenohumeral joints. The intraarticular pressure demonstrated characteristic changes during shoulder movement. In the healthy group minimum pressure was measured at 40 degrees of elevation in the scapular plane. In patients with contractures the pressure increased in the early phase of elevation and persisted. Pressure changes of the group with incomplete tears of the rotator cuff resembled those of the healthy group, whereas those in the massive tear group showed only slight pressure changes. When patients with rotator cuff tears had no limitation of arm elevation, pressure changes close to the normal pattern were found. However, when active elevation was markedly limited, no significant pressure changes were noted in some cases. InThe indpendent MLA has been charged under the Arms Act.

The big silvery redgum in the paddock beyond the garden, where with the white-faced cows are, is acting as a reflector and is driving the light against the window. But the room's resisting the light. The room, this other room, her old bedroom down here at lower Araluen, is staying in a kind of low suffused state of semi-darkness. Vertical blocks of deep purple and umber, the earth shadows, which contain their own resistant densities. Resisting the streaming light that's crashing against the side of the house and shaking the window, which is throwing it back. As if the air outside is filled with millions of fragments of exploded glass.

period. For the top quartile of patenting counties from 1990–95, patenting grew by 50%. For those below the median, patenting did not grow at all. So, overall, location became more important over time.
This overall trend is driven by substantial increases in the concentration of patenting at the very top of the distribution, such as in Silicon Valley (e.g. Santa Clara County, San Mateo County, and San Francisco County). In other words, the trend at the very top is driven by a small number of places.

The Oscar nominated actor acted as an executive producer on the HBO show and won an Emmy for directing its 2010 pilot episode.
Set in Atlantic City during the Prohibition era from 1920 to 1933, Boardwalk Empire followed the life of corrupt politician Enoch ‘Nucky’ Thompson (Steve Buscemi) and his secret gangster activities. Kelly MacDonald, Stephen Graham and Michael K Williams also starred.

Five award-winning seasons and 56 episodes later, the popular series came to a close last year.
“My next goal now is to get the movie made and start talking to Martin Scorsese about directing it,” Wahlberg told NJ.com.

"They met on the Field of Honour"
By DonalBane of the Blakmers
Battlefield Correspondent, Pennsic Independent
Final Tally:
Midrealm Dragons 26,
East Tygers 1
The Grand Armies of the Midrealm and the East met for the final time Friday under overcast skies for The Field of Honour. The grand spectacle of the field battle brought out loads of spectators to cheer on their respective kingdoms.
Once again, the East lined its forces up on the western side of the battlefield determined to fight to the last man. House Bloodguard, Rome, the Tuchux, and the Northern Army held the north side of the field, while the Southern Army, Black Talon, the Bog Alliance and Ironlance held the center. The western allied kingdoms deployed themselves to the south.
The Dragon's armies lined up for the last time thiswar on the east side of the battlefield. Forces from AEthelmearc, Calontir, Ealdormere, Northshield and Outlands held the north, while the bulk of the Midrealm army deployed itself to the center. Forces from Atlantia, the Great Dark Horde and Trimaris held the south of the battlefield.
When the cannon sounded for the first fight, more than 1,000 gentles charged proudly into each other. The bulk of the East's forces held their own initially in the north and center, but the combined forces of Trimaris and Atlantia proved to be too much for the outnumbered fighter from the western kingdoms. The right side of the East line was flanked and the Atlantian forces began to charge north. Slowly, the whole of the outnumbered East line began to crumble until the | {

remaining Tyger forces were trapped the northwest corner of the battlefield and wore down.
The second fight took a similar path, although the East's forces seemed to be more compact and organized in this fight. The Tyger held back some units in attempt to countercharge the surging Dragon armies. Unfortunately for the East, the Midrealm's surge could only be delayed and the battle once again collapsed until the Tuchux found themselves fighting against most of the Known World in the northwest corner of the battlefield.
The third fight allowed for combat archery and siege weapons, although many fewer siege weapons were used than the previous day on the causeway. The fight in the north followed the same path as the first two fights, but the fight to the south sawa reversal of fortunes. A tightly bunched group of the East's western allies were able to roll over forces from Trimaris in the initial charge. This same force then turned back and decimated the remains of the Atlanitan army in the south. Having cleared the southern battlefield, the western allies turned their attentions to the brawl to the north. They were greeted by a host of Midrealmers, anchored by the Darkyard Legion and House Darkmoon. It became a dark time for the outnumbered westerners as they were beaten in the final grand melee of the war.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an electronic apparatus such as a notebook personal computer.
2. Description of the Prior Art
A switch is incorporated in a notebook personal computer as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 10-154428, for example. The switch includes an operating piece attached to the side surface of the enclosure of the notebook personal computer for relative sliding movement. The operating piece is connected to a switch element located in the enclosure through a connecting piece. The connecting piece penetrates through a through hole defined in the wall of the enclosure. The switch element moves between an switch-on position and an switch-off position through the sliding movement of the operating piece.
The connecting piece is inserted in the through hole during the assemblyNo charges will be filed against the former Saint Francis hospital bus driver who shot a man in an argument on the side of Interstate 95, the state justice department said.
The bus driver and another man engaged in an on-the-road altercation in September before both pulled over near the Airport Road exit ramp to escalate the fight. The bus driver shot the other man after he pulled out a can of pepper spray, state police said.
Prosecutors didn't charge the bus driver because he fired in self-defense in accordance with Delaware law, according to state justice department spokeswoman Julia Lawes.

of the bus, pointing at the driver with a cellphone, according to state police accounts.
Both continued onto I-95 north and the bus driver signaled for the Dodge to pull over near the Airport Road exit ramp, state police said. Both pulled over and got out.
"Accounts of the incident by the participants and witnesses established that the two participants were in a heated exchange on the side of the interstate when the Dodge Durango driver produced an object from his pocket and sprayed the bus driver in the face with mace, and, nearly simultaneously, the bus driver removed a lawfully possessed and concealed handgun from his pocket and fired a single shot, striking the Durango driver," Lawes said in an email Wednesday morning.
The bus driver remained on the sceneand called 911 while offering the man he shot first aid. The Dodge driver, 53, was hospitalized but survived and was later released.
Desmond Chisholm, a resident of Bear, pulled over to the side of I-95 that day to help. He said the bus driver was still there and spoke briefly to Chisholm.
"He said he (the Durango driver) tried to Mace him and he shot him in self-defense. And that's the only thing I heard from him," Desmond Chisholm, a resident of Bear, said.
There were no Saint Francis patients in the bus involved in the incident, which is used to shuttle elderly patients to and from Saint Francis Life Center in Wilmington's Riverfront.

"This volume provides a superb examination of Argentine-U.S. relations between the early nineteenth and the early twenty-first century. Throughout this history, U.S. policy toward Argentina was often 'contained' within a zone of suspicion. The book shows how each country misunderstood each other's foreign policy, a case in point being the Falkland/Malvinas War in 1982, and how Argentina was the focus of a major U.S. policy shift when the US chose not to provide aid during the economic crisis of December 2001."
—Dr. Kristin Ruggiero, Professor of History and Director of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, University of Milwaukee, Wisconsin
"Sheinin's study is particularly strong on the cultural interchange between Argentina and the United States. He draws from his earlier research to provide interesting and detailed coverage ofthe juxtapositioning of the two countries within the Pan-American movement and of the intricate negotiations surrounding the Argentine nuclear program in the 1970s and 1980s. This thoughtful overview fills a significant remaining gap in the United States and the Americas series."
—Ken Lehman, Hampden-Sydney College
Description
In the first English-language survey of Argentine-U.S. relations to appear in more than a decade, David M. K. Sheinin challenges the accepted view that confrontation has been the characteristic state of affairs between the two countries. Sheinin draws on both Spanish- and English-language sources in the United States, Argentina, Canada, and Great Britain to provide a broad perspective on the two centuries of shared U.S.-Argentine history with fresh focus in particular on cultural ties, nuclear politics in the cold war era, the politics of human | {

rights, and Argentina's exit in 1991 from the nonaligned movement.
From the perspectives of both countries, Sheinin discusses such topics as Pan-Americanism, petroleum, communism and fascism, and foreign debt. Although the general trajectory of the two countries' relationship has been one of cooperative interaction based on generally strong and improving commercial and financial ties, shared strategic interests, and vital cultural contacts, Sheinin also emphasizes episodes of strained ties. These include the Cuban Revolution, the Dirty War of the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the Falklands/Malvinas War. In his epilogue, Sheinin examines Argentina's monetary crash of December 2001, when the United States-in a major policy shift-refused to come to Argentina's rescue.

Crown Estate Conservation Award Newhailes House, Musselburgh
27 November, 2003
Stirling Prize 2003
Newhailes is a national treasure and deserves to be treated with the same care as would a painting or piece of sculpture. As such, it was the subject of a detailed study into the nature of its beauty before any work began or damage was done. The resulting conservation plan carried out by LDN Architects for the National Trust for Scotland placed any changes in the context of the whole rather than treating any element in isolation. The £4.8 million project consisted of work to the house (including external repairs, the improvement of access and the updating of services), work to the stables (including the provision of visitor facilities and staff offices), andworks on the estate (including restoration of the gardens and a new car park).
The judges said: 'The contribution by Law & Dunbar-Naismith to the minimalist preservation of the Grade A-listed 17th-century Newhailes House lies at the cutting edge of building conservation theory. The house was acquired in 1995 by the National Trust for Scotland with its fabric, decorations, fittings and contents dating back to all the periods of its four-century existence. After extensive research, the trust decided to preserve the house as found, with all its mellow ageing, rather than heavily restore it to some selected date in the past. Unsafe balustrades were re-fixed, but their peeling paintwork was left untouched pending redecorating at some later date. Bowed floors were checked for structural integrity and further movement simply | {

Anabaptists: “Forgotten Voices of the Reformation”
Upset over the sale of indulgences, among other things, Luther posted a set of ninety-five theses for public discussion on October 31, 1517. In Zurich, Switzerland, within a few years, Huldrych (or Ulrich) Zwingli led a reformation in his church. A couple of decades later, John Calvin’s influence in Geneva, Switzerland, brought reformation there. The church in England experienced reformation largely due to the pope’s refusal to grant King Henry VIII the divorce he requested. These were not organized attempts to change the church but organic and disconnected reform movements that occurred in various places in Europe at about the same time.
As influential and significant as these figures were, other voices called for reformation in this era. Often overlooked, even forgotten, for arejection of infant baptism in favor of the baptism of adult believers, the common ownership of property; and an emphasis on pacifism and nonresistance.”5 Not all groups identified as Anabaptists were pacifists, but many were.
Rejection of the authority of the state, which was an implication of the denunciation of infant baptism, resulted in the charge of anarchy. Throughout Europe, the state and the state church saw the Anabaptists as dangerous. As a result, thousands were killed. Estep puts it well: “Martydom became an Anabaptist hallmark. Among those who died at the hands of the authorities for their faith were countless worthy, often unknown, unforgettable witnesses.”6
A group of Christians dared to form a church after what was conceived to be the New Testament pattern.

the meeting at Schleitheim, Sattler was arrested and charged with multiple infractions:
That he and his associates have acted against imperial mandate.
He has taught, held, and believed, that the body and blood of Christ are not in the sacrament.
He taught and believes that infant baptism is not requisite toward salvation.
They have rejected the sacrament of unction.
Despised and scorned the mother of God and the saints.
They have said that one should not swear to the government.
Initiated a new and unheard-of usage in the Lord’s Supper, with wine and bread crumbled in a basin, and eating the same.
He has forsaken the order and has married a wife.
He has said, “If the Turk were to come into the land, one should not resist him, and, if it were right to wage war,he would rather go to war against the Christians than against the Turks.”13
For these charges Sattler was executed as the verdict commanded: “In the matter of the prosecutor of the imperial majesty versus Michael Sattler, it has been found that Michael Sattler should be given into the hands of the hangman, who shall lead him to the square and cut off his tongue, then chain him to a wagon, there tear his body twice with red hot tongs, and again when he is brought before the gate, five more times.”14 Finally, his body was burned.
The Right To Discipline
Most of the Swiss Anabaptists were pacifists, following the “Schleitheim Confession,” but not all the Anabaptist leaders agreed on the use of the sword. Balthasar Hubmaier, a onetime colleague of Zwingli | {

} | 39,903,651 |
are those who say the Christian cannot use the sword? For if a Christian could not be a servant of God, could not fulfill the mandate of God without sinning, then God would not be good. He would have made an order which a Christian could not fulfill without sin. That is blasphemy.”17 Hubmaier’s position was never widely accepted by the Anabaptists.18
Hubmaier, too, paid for his belief in believers’ baptism with his life. He was executed on March 10, 1528, in Vienna, less than three years after he was baptized. He was burned to death. Three days later his wife was drowned in the Danube.19
Resolute Abandonment for Christ
Perhaps the most powerful story of pacifism and the desire to live out the ethical implications of Jesus is the storyof Dirk Willems. He was captured, tried, and convicted by the Roman Catholic Church as a heretic in the Dutch village of Asperen in 1569. He escaped from his prison castle by letting himself out of a window using a rope of knotted rags. He took off across a frozen pond. A guard saw him and chased him across the thin ice but, due to his heavier weight, the guard fell through the ice. Willems heard his pursuer’s cries for help and returned to rescue him.
The only kind of love I know that extends to enemies is the love taught and lived by Jesus.
The chief magistrate who watched this event from the shore demanded that Willems be re-arrested and on May 16, 1569, he was burned to death.20 | {
"pile_set_name": [

} | 39,903,654 |
Joseph Liechty concludes, “I am convinced that the only force strong enough to take Dirk back across the ice was an extraordinary outpouring of love. The only kind of love I know that extends to enemies is the love taught and lived by Jesus.”21
Menno Simons, a Dutch priest, left the Catholic Church in 1536 to spend the rest of his life as “a hunted heretic, preaching by night to secret conventicles of brothers and sisters, baptizing new believers in country streams and out-of-the-way lakes, establishing churches and ordaining pastors from Amsterdam to Cologne to Danzig.”22 He was one of few early Anabaptist leaders to die of natural causes, in 1561.
His biographer summarizes his thought well: “Practical Christianity meant for Menno the resolute abandonment by the Christian of allcarnal strife and war, indeed of the use of force in any manner, as well as a thoroughgoing separation from the sin of the worldly social order. . . . For him the church was the representative and agent of Christ on earth, and as such was to keep itself holy and pure in life and doctrine, and was to give a faithful witness for Christ until He came.”23
None of the reformers intended to start a movement of followers or a denomination. Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Menno Simons would hardly be pleased that, generations later, Christians identify themselves by claiming their names. Rather, as they read the Bible, they saw inconsistencies between what God’s Word declared and what they saw in practice—in the church of their day | {

and in their own lives. So, out of submission to the authority of the Word of God, they began to put those teachings into practice. May such a desire to be doers of the Word characterize our lives too and may God give us the grace to stand for truth, no matter the cost.

[The microvascularization of the penis of the steer (Bos taurus)].
The blood supply and the microvascularization of the bovine penis (Bos taurus) were demonstrated using the scanning electron microscope. The Corpus cavernosum penis of the bull consists of a surprisingly well-developed mesh of small to intermediate vessels. The architecture of the cavernous body is largely determined by trabeculae of connective tissue, the extent of which varies between penis segments. The Corpus cavernosum is arranged primarily as a ring around the trabeculae of connective tissue. Chambers of large bore are found in the central portions of the Corpus cavernosum penis, whereas a relatively fine vascular network predominates in the periphery. Vessels in the cavernous body of the urethra, on the other hand, show strictly parallel orientation to the urethra, whichthey surround like a sleeve. They also stand in close association with vessels in the outer layer of the Tunica albuginea. The vascular systems of the Corpus cavernosum penis and the Corpus spongiosum penis are not connected with one another. The vascular architecture of the Glans penis is characterized by the inclusion of well-developed vascular arcades at regular intervals. These course through a connective tissue matrix rich in glycoproteins and stretch to just under the skin of the penis, where they are intimately associated with a subpapillary network of arteries and veins. The venous legs of the vascular arcades are supplied by this network of veins. The Glans penis of the bull is considered to represent a specialization of the penile integument. | {
