reign is over," she said. "You can't imaging anyone else taking over that ministry. His doctrine was ungodly. It wasn't the doctrine of Christ."
Tony Alamo was born Sept. 20, 1934, in Joplin, Mo. His father was a Jewish immigrant from Romania who, Alamo claimed, had been dance instructor for Rudolf Valentino, according to the Encyclopedia of Arkansas History and Culture.
When he was a teenager, Alamo moved to California and achieved some success as a "big band crooner" in Los Angeles.
Details of that part of Alamo's life are sketchy, according to the encyclopedia article.
Alamo claimed he recorded a hit record single in the early 1960s called "Little Yankee Girl" and was even asked to manage musical acts including the Beatles, the Doors, and the Rolling Stones. There is noevidence of those claims.
In 1966, after serving jail time on a weapons charge, Alamo married Edith Opal Horn of Alma. Horn, who was twice divorced, had moved to Hollywood to become an actress. Instead, she supported herself at least in part by scamming churches into believing she was a missionary in need of money, according to the encyclopedia article.
Some people said the couple changed their names to Tony and Susan Alamo after they married, though Tony Alamo claimed to have changed his name earlier.
While in a business meeting in Beverly Hills, Alamo claimed, Jesus came to him and told him to preach about Christ's second coming. He and Susan, who was also of Jewish descent, converted to Christianity and began a Hollywood street ministry, preaching particularly to drug | {

Another seized computer contained the text of the company's work in progress,
GURPS Cyberpunk, which was being prepared for the printers.
Blankenship's purported membership in the Legion of Doom -- a group of computer
hackers from Austin, Houston and New York -- led the Secret Service to Steve
Jackson's door.
Neither Jackson nor his company was suspected of wrongdoing.
The game publisher is named in two paragraphs of the 42-paragraph affidavit
requesting the 1990 search warrant, which targeted Blankenship -- a fact
Kennedy cited in seeking summary judgment.
Kennedy presented evidence that the original Secret Service affidavit for the
warrant used to raid Steve Jackson Games contained false statements.
Supporting documentation showed that Bellcore expert Henry Kluepfel disputes
statements attributed to him that accounted for the only link between Steve
Jackson Games and the suspicion Blankenship was engaged in illegalactivity.
Batten came away visibly shaken from questioning by Sparks, and later had a
tense exchange with Kennedy outside the courtroom.
The lawsuit contends the government violated 1st Amendment principles by
denying the free speech and public assembly of callers to Jackson's bulletin
board system, Illuminati. This portion of the complaint was brought under the
Privacy Protection Act, which also covers the seized Cyberpunk manuscripts --
if the judge rules that such a book, stored electronically prior to
publication, is entitled to the same protections as a printed work.
The government lawyers argued the Privacy Protection Act applies only to
journalistic organizations -- an argument Sparks didn't seem to buy.
The lawsuit also contends 4th Amendment principles providing against
unreasonable search and seizure were violated, on grounds the Electronic
Communications Privacy Act specifies protection for publishers.

Sonny Burgess (Albert Austin Burgess)
Sonny Burgess was born on a farm near Newport, Arkansas to Albert and Esta Burgess. He graduated from Newport High School in 1948. In the early 1950s, Burgess played boogie woogie music in dance halls and bars around Newport. Burgess, Kern Kennedy, Johnny Ray Hubbard, and Gerald Jackson formed a boogie-woogie band they called the Rocky Road Ramblers. In 1954, following a stint in the US Army (1951–53), Burgess re-formed the band, calling them the Moonlighters after the Silver Moon Club in Newport, where they performed regularly. After advice from record producer Sam Phillips, the group expanded to form the Pacers. The band’s first record was “We Wanna Boogie” in 1956 for Sun Records, in Memphis, about 80 miles southeast of his | {

outfitted a woefully under-equipped army (called the Jaysh Al-Usrah, Army of Hardship) that was setting out to confront the Romans who were amassing near Tabuk in the year 9 AH, with around 300 camels, a hundred horses and weapons (besides contributing thousands of dinars in money and gold).
In another instance, Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the rescue of the community when there was a severe shortage of water in Madina and the Muslims were obliged to purchase water at very high prices. He purchased a well of sweet water, called Ar-Rumah, and placed it at the disposal of the Muslims.
Later, during the caliphate of Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) a severe famine struck Madina, and the city’s merchants gathered at hishouse when he received a large caravan from Damascus, laden with food and goods.
He asked them what was the best price they would offer, and when they stopped after offering him four or five times the cost of the goods, he answered that he would sell his goods to the highest bidder: Who had promised to redeem his goods at ten times the price. Saying this, he made them witness that he had given away the entire caravan to the people of Madina for the sake of Allah.
The most outstanding trait of Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) is his complete trust in the promise of Allah the Exalted, which stemmed from his strong Iman (belief). Unlike most of us, he was sure that what is with | {

Last year at Christmas time, my mom went to my sister's house for the traditional holiday feast.
Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play a trick.
She told my sister that she needed something from the store and asked if my sister wouldn't mind going out to get it. When my sister left the house, my mom took the turkey out of the oven, removed the mixed stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, and inserted it into the turkey... then re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back into the oven.
When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird.

She agreed to join them in an apartment of a mutual acquaintance. While there she drank another shot or two of rum.
What happened next is where the stories diverge.
According to the alleged victim Parker told her she was too drunk to go home, would get in trouble on campus and should stay at his apartment.
She agreed, they went there, he pulled out a futon, gave her a T-shirt to wear and she 'crawled into bed'.
She claimed to only have flashes of memory of what happened next.
She awoke, naked, to find Parker on top of her having sex with her and Celestin standing over her with his penis in her mouth.
She maintained throughout the investigation and case that she did now know whoCelestin was at the time, or indeed if there were other men involved.
The rape allegations surfaced when Parker, Celestin, and their alleged victim were all students at Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania
Parker (right) and Celestin attended Penn State on scholarships as part of the wrestling team
Today Parker (left) and Celestin (right) still are friends and worked together on Birth of a Nation

percent-of-GDP limit allowed by the treaty. The European Commission's
analysis savaged the entire substructure of the German economy,
describing it as "highly vulnerable" to external
shocks and unable at this point to generate durable growth.
It also notes "a need for urgent reforms" in the
labor market and social-security and benefit systems, as well
as recommends a reduction of the regulatory burden on the
economy.
In slightly kinder terms, France and
Italy were also warned that they are close to breaching the
3 percent budget-deficit ceiling this year. France's debt
levels hover dangerously close to the allowed 60 percent,
whereas Italy's debt is already at more than 100 percent of
its GDP. According to a commission forecast, the German economy

the strengthening of the euro. The situation is complicated
by tensions over Iraq, whose effects on the EU are "impossible

Paul Wolfowitz: Neo-Con Theoritician
Architect of the New American Century Hokum
This rogue’s gallery of neo-con chicken hawks demonstrates how the PNAC effectively staffed the upper echelons of the defense establishment and planted important players in the State Department; all they needed was a catalyst that would ignite a chain of events which would place them at the levers of power. The catastrophe on 9/11 supplied that catalyst. In fact, they had predicted that it wouldalso makes it abundantly clear that the PNAC was “building upon the defense strategy outlined by the Cheney Defense Department in the waning days of the Bush Administration. The Defense Policy Guidance drafted in the early months of 1992 provided a blueprint for maintaining US prominence, precluding the rise of a great power rival, and shaping the international security order in line with American principles and interests.”
The document goes on to lament the fact that the plan, which was largely authored by Paul Wolfowitz, was “Leaked before it had been approved,” then “criticized as an effort by ‘cold warriors’ to keep defense spending high and cuts in forces small despite the collapse of the Soviet Union; not surprisingly, it was subsequently buried by the new administration.”

Since then, Erik has been taking time to finish his degree in Psychology. He is scheduled to graduate by March 2010.

"I just want to have a degree first," said Erik, when asked if he wants to pursue a career out of showbiz. "Para kasi sa akin, mahalaga yung edukasyon. Ito talaga is one of my achievements. Kung makakatapos talaga ako, nanamnamin ko talaga," he told PEP with conviction.
When it comes to their love life, the tandem willingly answered the questions posed by the press. From the interview, it was revealed that Sittiis now happily in love with her non-showbiz boyfriend. He was a fan whom she met during one of her gigs. He asked Sitti to sign his copy of her album and this sparked their romance.
Erik, however, remained cheerful yet dodged some queries about his love life and simply said that, at this point in his career and education, he has no time for issues of the heart.
A CAREER IN ACTING? Besides taking centerstage in concerts and in TV guestings, Sitti has tried acting in theater where she played a role alongside KC Concepcion, Jericho Rosales, Jonalyn Viray, Mitch Valdez, and a number of other celebrity singers in Katy! The Musical. Earlier this year, Sitti bagged the role of Martha in the 2009 rock musical Spring Awakening.

Mika Kobayashi, a rape victim, runs a self-help group that has exchanged thousands of #MeToo experiences, but only anonymously among themselves.
She said she was pushed into a car and raped on her way home in 2000. She reported the attack to police, but the attacker hasn't been found. She has since published books about her recovery from the ordeal, to raise public awareness.
Her focus is on providing support and understanding for victims, rather than being an activist.

criminal charges against him.
His family has called "Leaving Neverland" -- in which two men accuse Jackson in graphic detail of sexually molesting them when they were boys -- a " public lynching " and suggest the accusers have been motivated by financial gain. Jackson's estate has filed a suit against HBO. (HBO and CNN share parent company WarnerMedia.)
But there has been some recent pushback. At least three radio stations in Canada have stopped playing his songs. "We are attentive to listeners' comments, and last night's documentary created reactions," Christine Dicaire, a spokeswoman for Cogeco, the stations' owner, said Monday in a statement
Even so, his music is still streaming on Spotify and Apple Music, both of which took the unusual step last year of yanking R. Kelly's songs fromtheir featured playlists.
Several live shows featuring Jackson's music are still running, including Cirque du Soleil's "Michael Jackson ONE" in Las Vegas. A spokeswoman for Cirque du Soleil declined to comment this week on whether the troupe has received complaints or requests for refunds.
And a musical based on Jackson's rich catalog of hits, "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough," is still scheduled to hit Broadway next year.
Is it morally wrong to enjoy his songs?
That's a decision each of us must make for ourselves.
For people of a certain age, his music conjures potent memories of carefree days -- of weddings and barbecues and dancing to "Thriller" at Halloween house parties. Whatever has happened to tarnish Jackson's image since then -- and there's been a lot -- those memories may remain | {

Along a stretch of the river that runs through Atwater Village north of downtown, one man, who called himself P. Dogg and said he had been homeless for three years, said that he bathes in the river when the water is “clear, not murky.”
Asked if he’s ever gotten sick from bathing in the river, he answered proudly: “Never once.”
While local testing of the Los Angeles River, San Gabriel River and the Ventura River Estuary wasn’t designed to measure the effects of homelessness, results suggest there have been significant impacts in some areas due to homeless encampments,from the flowers.

Schmidt Concludes N. Korea Trip With Plea to End Internet Ban
Today in international tech news: Speaking to reporters in Beijing, Google's Eric Schmidt offers some advice to North Korea at the end of his visit there. Also: Apple is eying Asian markets with a cheaper iPhone, a Steve Jobs memorial goes up in Russia, and Foxconn is under investigation for bribery.
Speaking to reporters after a four-day jaunt to North Korea, Google Chairman Eric Schmidt called on North Korea to end its ban on Internet access.
North Korea's refusal to allow more Web access "is very much going to affect their physical world,"
Schmidt said, adding that it's time for the nation's totalitarian authorities to loosen their grasp on the Web.
. North Korea, which has 23 million citizens, bans access toindependent information and has set up a Western-free intranet.
Schmidt was accompanied on his trip by former New Mexico governor and former UN ambassador Bill Richardson, as well as another Google exec. The delegation did not meet with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, who has paid lip service to the idea of laxer regulation on technology like the Internet.
Meanwhile, a timely
Reuters article discusses how Google Earth "presents a bird's eye view" of North Korean prison camps. Citing international human rights groups, Reuters reports that up to 250,000 political prisoners and their families "toil on starvation rations in the mostly remote mountain camps."
Reuters links to a blog called
"One Free Korea", which has images of the suspected prisoner camps plucked from Google Earth.

Steampunk fans, rejoice! Back by popular demand, the creators of Boston Metaphysical Society have returned to Kickstarter to fund the print version of the sci-fi, action/adventure series' third issue. Series creator Madeleine Holly-Rosing is hoping to raise $3,000 to cover the printing costs of Issue #3, as well as the costs for the campaign's incentives, shipping, postage, and fees. Having already surpassed the Kickstarter funding goal, your support could mean the attainment of BMS' stretch goal: the printing of Issue #4!
The story of Boston Metaphysical Society is set in the year 1895. An evil from a parallel dimension escaped and now roams the city of Boston. The world has developed along the lines of Steampunk technology, with steam-driven, rudimentary computers and electronics, and dirigibles ruling the sky. Withit comes social and political upheaval, as not everyone is comfortable with change. In fact, many people fear it. That fear, and the violence that followed, caused a psychic rift to puncture the veil of space and time allowing the entity known as "The Shifter" to escape. Feeding on the resentment and fear between the rich and poor, “The Shifter” triggers a rash of murders. When great minds like Alexander Graham Bell, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, and Harry Houdini fail to stop "The Shifter," only the Boston Metaphysical Society can come to the rescue against the malevolent force!
To learn more about Boston Metaphysical Society, fans can watch a great video interview below or visit the official website.

Army Corps of Engineers (1961)1 has prepared reports and un-
published design memoranda on many aspects of the Bypass Canal
System project, including the hydrology and geology. Cooke (1945),,
Carr and Alverson (1959), and Puri apd Vernon (1964) included
descriptions of the geology of the area. MacNeil (1949) and White

of parts of Florida, including the area near Tampa. Stringfield
(1936, 196-1, 1966) studied the hydrology of Florida, including the
Tampa area, and prepared maps of the potentiometric surface of
the principal artesian (Floridan) aquifer. Stewart and others
(1971) prepared a potentiometric map of the Floridan aquifer in
the Southwest Florida Water Management District area including
Tampa. Menke and other (1961) studiedmi from the river.
The spillway capacities of the control structures are based on
the occurrence of the maximum probable flood. The design dis-
charges for S-160 and S-159 are 26,700 and 12,000 cfs respectively.
At S-155, 22,800 cfs can be released to the downstream reach of
the Hillsborough River. The design discharge for S-161 is 4,000 cfs,

of Intuitionism,
a philosophy of mathematics in sharp contrast
to Hilbert's Formalism, but Brouwer's philosophy also
involved ethics and aesthetics and has been compared with
those of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche.
Part of his mathematics thesis was rejected as
"... interwoven with some kind of pessimism and mystical attitude
to life which is not mathematics ..."
As a young man, Brouwer spent a few years to develop
topology, but once his great talent was demonstrated
and he was offered prestigious professorships, he devoted
himself to Intuitionism, and acquired a reputation as
eccentric and self-righteous.
Intuitionism has had a significant influence,
although few strict adherents.
Since only constructive proofs are permitted, strict adherence
would slow mathematical work.
This didn't worry Brouwer who once wrote:
"The construction itself is an art, its application to the world
an evil parasite."

==============================================================================
"c.1973 As related in her book, 'Confessions ofa Broccoli Queen', the
beautiful Sydney Chalmers came to the big city with big dreams and a modeling
contract, and was selected Broccoli Queen of the Thanksgiving Day parade in
1967. Little did she know that would be the pinnacle of her career. She went
to Hollywood to make movies, but only appeared in a string of low grade
exploitation films. A life of ongoing wild parties and desperation led her to
pen a sexy and scathing tell-all of the beauty industry. Sydney died in a
tragic and somewhat suspect hot tub accident the day the book hit the stands.
She never knew that she'd finally found the success she craved, as the book
entered bestseller lists and remained there for over two years. Not really
cursed, but it's a really good airplane read."

got a divorce. "She saw right away that her husband was too
attached to his mother, and it turned out that he was homosexual. After
leaving him, she became friends with Raul and they started living
together. Now they have a daughter, but Nina doesn't want to marry
him,"says Inés, with lingering incredulity. "She has her job
and she wants to keep her independence." Although poor Mexican
women may actually prefer to live in consensual union with a man, on the
grounds that in the absence of any formal tie, they retain more freedom, it is
something new for a lower-middle-class woman, typically the quintessence of
respectability, to choose such an arrangement. (p.125)
This definition of consensual union is a negative one

historical context. Here is an excerpt of Muriel Nazzari's article Sex/Gender
Arrangements And The Reproduction of Class In the Latin American Past
collected in Elizabeth Dore's book (see reference at the bottom of this page):
Most Latin American women exercised their reproductive roles
and lived within highly structured sex/gender arrangements. In colonial
times and in the early nineteenth century, these arrangements included the
system of family honor, which both prescribed gender roles and stratified
society, thereby reproducing class.
The word "honor" had meanings at two different
levels: status and virtue. The honorable status of a family of the
colonial elite was gained through ascription if ascendants had belonged to the
conquistadors or early settlers or if the crown had granted them privileges in
return for services. It was also inherited through purity of blood, that

its height in October
1946 during a meeting that is now legendary
among philosophers.
It was on 25 October in Richard Braithwaite's
rooms in the Gibbs building at King's (room
three on the first floor of staircase H).
A confrontation arose between Wittgenstein,
who was chairing the meeting, and the evening's
guest speaker, Karl Popper, Reader in Logic
and Scientific Method at the London School
of Economics.
The meeting had been organized by Wasfi Hijab,
the club secretary, and was attended by 30
philosophers—dons and students—including
Peter Geach, Peter Gray-Lucas, Georg Kreisel,
Peter Munz, Stephen Plaister, Bertrand Russell,
Stephen Toulmin, John Vinelott, and Michael
Wolff.
It was reportedly the only time Popper, Russell,
and Wittgenstein—three of the world's most
eminent philosophers—were ever together.Popper
was reading "Are there philosophical problems?"
and an argument broke out about the nature
of philosophy: whether philosophical problems
were real, which was Popper's position, or
just linguistic puzzles, whichwas Wittgenstein's.
The pair almost came to blows, with Wittgenstein
pointing Braithwaite's reportedly red-hot
poker at Popper, demanding that he give an
example of a moral rule.
Popper offered one: "Not to threaten visiting
speakers with pokers," at which point Wittgenstein
stormed out in a huff.
The minutes make no mention of the poker incident,
recording only that, "The meeting was charged
to an unusual degree with a spirit of controversy":

Dutcher then filed six separate Requests for Administrative Remedy dated January 27, 1981. In five of these Requests, Dutcher alleged that several articles and one cartoon, copies of which Dutcher provided, had been censored by prison officials. These requests were not receipted by the warden's office until March 20, 1981. On the advice of counsel, Dutcher filed a Regional Appeal in mid-February 1981 but was informed that the appeal could not be acted upon because the warden had not ruled on Dutcher's underlying complaints. Dutcher then filed a Central Office Appeal, which was apparently never acted upon. Finally, between April 3 and April 6, 1981, the warden responded to Dutcher's Requests, denying publication of four different articles and allowing publicationinto future programs.
Delivering interventions in school and community based settings, may be an effective means of promoting sustainability, facilitating intervention delivery and capacity for research outputs. For example, teachers or community members can be educated and engaged to facilitate components of an intervention. This can encourage maintenance of a program and balance the commitment of research members, teachers and the community. By utilizing local members of the community, researchers may also gain further insight into cultural or social trends that may influence the dietary habits of children and adolescents in the area.

Students affiliated to Leftist, Dalit and Adivasi organisations swept the student union elections at the University of Hyderabad, a central university, regaining hold over the student community, a year after they were trounced by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidya Parishad.
The elections were held amidst tight security on Thursday and the counting of votes took place at Ambedkar auditorium on the University campus at Gachibowli on Friday afternoon. The final results were announced later in the evening.
The alliance of the Student Federation of India (SFI), Dalit Students Union (DSU), Ambedkar Students Association (ASA) and Tribal Students’ Forum (TSF) bagged all the key posts of president, vice-president, general secretary and joint secretary.
Last year, the SFI contested the elections separately from Adivasi, Dalit, Bahujan, Muslim and tribalorganisations which formed the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). In the triangular fight, the ABVP won the elections, for the first time in the previous eight years.
This time, the SFI was back into the alliance of Dalit, Left and Adivasi groups and won the elections with a comfortable majority. The ABVP joined hands with two other student groups — Other Backward Classes Federation (OBCF) and the newly formed Sevalal Vidyarthi Dal, but stood second.
Abhishek Nandan from SFI won the post of president, M.Sree Charan from DSU won the post of Vice President, Gopi Swamy from ASA became General Secretary, Rathod Pradeep from TSF won as Joint Secretary.

jumps while playing a video game against his father, Trevor Walker, in front of his younger brother, Tiernen Walker. At home, Roanin can be just like a normal kid, his parents said.
The district conducted a partial evaluation but deemed his problems too "inconsistent" for the program, school records show.
Eventually, the Walkers took Roanin out of preschool and paid for the therapy they could afford.
A psychologist hired by the family determined Roanin had ADHD, generalized anxiety and "significant sensory processing deficits," a condition similar to autism, medical records show.
Heidi and Trevor were hesitant to put him on medication. Fearful of side effects, they tried natural remedies, including vitamins, oils and diet changes. Nothing worked.
As kindergarten approached, Heidi requested a meeting with Shadow Forest Elementary, where Roanin was to attend.
Theymet early in the summer of 2014, long before the beginning of the school year. Heidi brought medical records, hoping to persuade administrators to give her son extra help.
She did not formally request special ed. She didn't know she had to. And the administrators did not offer to evaluate Roanin.
Still, the meeting seemed to go well. The administrators promised they would do everything they could to help Roanin. Heidi believed them.
Tianny Jenkins reflects during a quiet moment at her family’s tiny southeast Houston apartment. HISD ignored her mother’s request for a special education evaluation, even as the 10-year-old was forced to repeat both second and third grades.

Every week, groups located in countries from Scotland to Kenya, Brazil to Croatia and Australia to the Netherlands will be creating videos responding to a series of themes or prompts.
The first two videos from the Coventry group are now available to watch on our YouTube channel here.
In Coventry, a local group is currently being facilitated by the Belgrade Theatre in partnership with Grapevine – a local charity that supports a range of people from Coventry and Warwickshire experiencing isolation, poverty and other disadvantages.
Each week, the twoLottery to help create these experiences for as many people as possible across the country.
The Belgrade Theatre is part of a network of organisations promoting engagement with arts and culture in the lead-up to Coventry’s City of Culture year in 2021. In December 2017, supporters of the Coventry bid gathered at the Belgrade Theatre in the heart of the city to watch the announcement live from Hull, with press on hand to broadcast their reactions to the country.

In 2004, Shi Tao, a Chinese journalist was arrested and then
imprisoned by the Chinese authorities for 'disclosure of state
secrets' by forwarding an email after Yahoo cooperated with the
Chinese authorities which led to Tao's arrest. Yahoo was subsequently
questioned by the House Foreign Affairs Committee over this decision.
The EPIC publication on Privacy and Human Rights brings to the fore
such issues prevalent in China and other parts of the world. China
regularly monitors all internet activity and actively censors content
it deems objectionable. As an example, although the Chinese Foreign
Ministry assured guests of privacy during the Beijing Olympic Games,
Senator Brownback stated that he had obtained an order from the Chinese
Public Security Bureau directing all hotels to intercept andabout numerous privacy topics,
and exhorted other candidates to debate on wiretapping and surveillance
issues. Barr also urged the public to challenge elected officials to
articulate their positions on how citizens' privacy relates to the
government's need to promote industry and prevent crime.
The Privacy 08 effort sought that the moderators of the Presidential
and Vice Presidential debates ask the candidates a question about
privacy. Gwen Ifill, moderator of the Vice Presidential Debate, did ask
a about privacy. Both Senators McCain and Obama have posted policy
statements about privacy on their web site, but neither candidate has
addressed this issue directly during the campaign.
Although Senator Obama and Senator McCain have not made privacy central
to their platforms, privacy issues have affected the campaigns.

more than half of the world's oil.
They attracted a wave of fortune-seeking entrepreneurs, industry experts and blue-collar laborers, increasing the population tenfold to more 140,000 by 1903.
A construction boom followed.
From the late 1880s a small circle of wealthy oil barons -- local men such as Musa Naghiyev, Shamsi Asadullayev and Zeynalabdin Taghiyev, as well as foreigners like the Rothschilds and the Nobel brothers -- started commissioning mansions and public buildings.
In the space of just 15 to 20 years a new urban layer appeared just outside the old Muslim fortress. Mixing everything from Gothic and baroque to neo-classical and oriental, these eclectic buildings somehow found an overall harmony, giving Baku the reputation of the "Paris of the Caucasus".

"The first street that appeared outside the [old] city wall in full was Istiglaliyyat," says Gani Nasirov, founder of Baku Original Walking Free Tour , while strolling along this avenue which runs along the old walls.
At its western end are two pastel-colored buildings -- the Renaissance-style State Philharmonic Hall, modeled on the Casino de Monte-Carlo, and the pale-pink mansion of the Sadikhov brothers, which had Baku's first electric lift, moving at a very leisurely 70 centimeters per second.
Both of these appeared during the height of the construction boom, between 1910 and 1912, and were designed by an Armenian architect from Tiflis named Gabriel Ter-Mikelov.

Baku's population at this time was an incredible multicultural mix. Azerbaijanis, Russians, Armenians, Jews, Germans and Poles each occupied their own niche.

Under the Stipulation, Countrywide agreed to refrain from foreclosing on real property owned by class members residing in the Southern District of Texas who met stipulated requirements, including that the class member be not more than one month delinquent on mortgage payments. The Stipulation applied until August 5, 2008. On May 15, 2008, the parties entered into a second Agreed Stipulation that extended the terms of the first Stipulation until February 2, 2009.

The Center for Media and Democracy and Common Cause sued August and four other lawmakers claiming they were hiding emails related to their official duties in their personal email accounts.

a Catholic priest for help, who allegedly refused to bless the house because what he felt when he stepped inside Franklin Castle.
After enduring several more years of ghostly activity, the Romanos finally decided to sell the house. In 1974, Franklin Castle was sold to the family who would single-handedly bring the legend of Franklin Castle to the forefront; the Muscatellos.
Grisly Discovery
By all accounts, the Sam Muscatello was all too eager to cash in on the legends of Franklin Castle. Offering tours of the house, Sam also invited members of the media in for walkthroughs. During a live segment on Cleveland radio, host John Webster had a tape recorder pulled from his shoulder and thrown down a staircase. Another time, during the taping for a local television piece, crewmember Ted Opecec witnessed a ceiling light spinning on its own.
Muscatello also began searching the house from top to bottom for more of the alleged secret passageways. His first discovery was an old still that seemed to be leftover from Prohibition days. The most shocking discovery, however, was found behind a hidden panel in the tower. Tucked neatly inside was a pile of human bones. Although few deny that real human bones were removed from Franklin Castle, who they belonged to and how they ended up there has long been debated. Of course, most took the bones as proof that Hannes Tiedemann was indeed involved in murderous activities. Some, however, believed that Muscatello himself stashed the bones there as "proof" of the hauntings of Franklin Castle. The final | {

Palestinian protesters burn the American flag and Israeli flag in the city of Gaza City on December 6 after Trump recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel
Almost everyone else sees it as a desperately dangerous gamble that could have disastrous consequences for the whole already war-ravaged region.
Saudi Arabia's King Salman told Trump personally in a phone call it 'would constitute a flagrant provocation of Muslims all over the world'.
King Abdullah of Jordan said it would have 'serious implications for security and stability in the Middle East'.
Turkish President Erdogan described it as a violation of international law and a 'red line' for Muslimsthat would force Turkey to sever all diplomatic ties with Israel.
China warned it could 'sharpen regional conflict, initiating new hostility'.
Russia, a key Middle East player, agreed, expressing concern over 'possible deterioration'.
'I have determined that it is time to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel,' Trump said from the White House Wednesday. 'It's the right thing to do'
French President Emmanuel Macron, speaking in similar terms to Germany and the UK, told Trump to urgently reconsider the plan, stressing that the status of Jerusalem 'must be resolved through negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians'.

that Rockwell and nine of his
storm-troopers are nou in a New Orleans jail
The Justice Department is quietly probing Rockwells
anonymous benefactors, his sources of income
Officials meanwhile, have renewed consideration of
placing the Nazi Party on the Attorney General's list oi
subversive organizations. In their view, such a listing
would diminish Rockwell's support, and authorize the
Government to deny Federal employment to Nazi ad-
herents.
Liberal groups last year opposed listing the Nazis as
subversive on grounds that Rockwell might obtain a hear-
ing that would afford him a chance for some publicity.
Now that Rockwell has gotten worldwide notoriety, a feel-
ing is growing that the previous tactical approach is out-
dated and ineffective.
Virginia authorities, citing the absence of the Nazis
from the official U.S. subversive list, justified issuance of
a charter "legalizing" the location in Virginia of the na-
tional Nazi headquarters.
TheAttorney General's list, deplored by many lib-
erals because of "civil liberties" considerations, exists as
a fact of life. Why should the Nazis be afforded immunity
That is the emerging question. The argument about a
listing giving Rockwell "publiicity" is waning. The -hush-
hush" strategy has demonstrably failed because the Nazis
have obtained tremendous coverage.
U.S. Government information officers told this cor-
respondent that America should immediately list the Nazis
as equally subversive as Communists. They said this would
be "a blow at racism, and enhance the American image
abbroad."
Ironically, the West German Government has just re-
vealed a view that the United States has been too soft on
the \merican Nazisbecause such coddling has facilitated
Communist attacks on NATO and Bonn's relations with
Washington.

The missionaries also helped CSI Jamaican workers in the building of a block and stucco farm depot. Shelly Smith, adult team member, supervised the Providence workers on this project, which is part of the new R.A.I.S.E. (Restoring Agriculture and Investing in Sustainable Enterprise). This project is turning 193 new CSI acres into teaching Jamaicans how to sustain themselves into crop production, poultry, green house industries, aquaculture, and other trades. A university and also a technical institute will be putting campus extensions on the grounds.
Teammembers laid hands on the new home and offered prayers of blessing.
The Disciples also gained experience clearing brush from the rich jungle acres using machetes for use in sustainable farming. The final project was a half day spent painting at an office complex on the mission grounds.
The team also experienced swimming at Jack’s Bay Beach, an afternoon and evening on Greencastle Plantation, an evening in Highgate for local ice cream and a tour of the Clonmel Potters.
CSI Ministries has international headquarters in Muncie, Indiana. Ronn Oren, former pastor at Trafalgar Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) is the Executive Director. In the past two decades, CSI has built around 600 small homes for Jamaicans.

- [Roy] Few other aircraft
of the second World War
gained the universal
affection of the air crew
over so long an operational period
as did the Boeing B17 fortress.
This legendary aircraft
formed the spearhead
of the American bombing
offensive in Europe.
From beginning to end as
well as serving in every
other theater of war.
No single aircraft type contributed more
to the defeat of the
Luft Fafa both in the air
and on the ground than the Fortress,
which enabled tangible
expression to be given
to the controversial United States policy
for the strategic
assault of Germany by day
and the face of formidable
political argument
as well as desperate enemy opposition.
A curious feature of
the fortresses history
is that its reputation
is the leading allied
day bombers established
despite its inferiority
in many respects of
performance, compared with its
combat contemporary, the B24 liberator.
The bomb load of USAAF
fortresses over Europe
was usually no more than
carried by thediminutive
Dehavealan Moscito.
Far fewer fortresses then
liberators were built.
12,677 fortresses being
accepted by the USAAF
between July 1940 and August 1945.
These equipped a maximum of
33 overseas combat groups
by August 1944.
The fortress achieved fame
on the strength of several
outstanding attributes.
Of these, perhaps the most important
were an excellent high altitude capability
and the ability to
absorb an amazing amount
of battle damage.
To these attributes were
added in its later variance,
an exceptionally heavy defensive armament.
Though the true combat
potential of the fortress
is achieved only after a
long period of gestation.
(drum music)
The fortress had dropped
over 640,000 tons of bombs
on European targets during the war years.
This compares with 452,508
tons dropped by the B24
liberators and 463,544 tons
dropped by all other aircraft.

According to records compiled
by its manufacturers,
the fortress destroyed 23 enemy

Annie returned to her father's home in the early afternoon, dropped off the clean laundry, and then returned to the mobile home with additional dirty laundry.

Approximately 30 minutes after Annie arrived at the mobile home with the second bundle of laundry, Stephens drove up to the mobile home in a blue automobile.

He was pictured driving into Carrington in a black Volvo, which, compared to his team-mates' flash motors, seemed a fairly modest choice. But the 35-year-old is believed to drive the car as part of a sponsorship deal with the Swedish car maker.

Between June 2006 and October 2009, Lohia, Soni, Suniti Shah, and Dinesh Shah obtained over 15 fraudulent loans on real estate properties in Orange County through the use of straw buyers’ credit. The defendants fabricated loan applications to reflect significantly higher incomes for the straw buyers, supplied altered bank statements to reflect the higher incomes, falsified employer information on loan documents, and forged the names and signatures of straw buyers on various deeds and loan documents.

well-known state official to represent the federal government. Neville was wealthy by local standards and had originally opposed the federal excise tax when he "was a member of the Pennsylvania assembly when that body adopted a resolution condemning the tax in 1791." When he later was appointed to the office of excise inspector, his neighbors thought that he "was giving up his principles for a bribe and bartering the confidence they had in him for" a federal salary. "He became a catalyst for mounting opposition to the law." [18]Although all the key political players in the decision to snuff out the Whiskey rebellion were Federalists and supporters of a strong central American government, there were some differences among them as to how government force was to be used.The general Federalist outlook was that any opposition to the whiskey excise was a challenge "to the very roots of authority and order." [19] Federalists believed that every good government "must provide for its own security and preservation," [20] and they saw "a permanent standing army" as a way "to coerce the people and silence them into obedience to authority." [21] President Washington took opposition to the nation's law as a personal affront to himself. "He felt that the excise was a just law," and he viewed any opposition to it as "equivalent to advocating separation from the union, 'the most dreadful of all calamities'." [22] Washington certainly "exemplified the Federalist belief that a display of force was necessary" not only to subdue the rebels, but to show | {

Toronto Mayor John Tory says services like Airbnb are here to stay, but the city needs to regulate how they operate to protect affordable housing. (John Rieti/CBC)
Mayor John Tory says he wants online home-sharing services to continue, saying there's no point in trying to "turn back the hands of time," but the city needs to stop people from buying up units with the sole intention of running them as short-term rentals.
"This is extremely disruptive to neighbourhoods," he told reporters.
"It is taking housing off the market that might otherwise be available for long-term permanent renters as it were — and that's a problem for us."
Coun. Joe Cressy, whose ward has hundredsof Airbnb units, says he's optimistic that city council will approve the rules.
Like Tory, Cressy says he wants "true home-sharing" to continue, but says the city has to crack down on those snapping up affordable housing to offer up to tourists.
"Neighbourhoods like Kensington Market have been deeply affected … today's regulations will stop that," he said.
Cressy says council's biggest task will be ensuring the regulations have enough "teeth" when it comes to enforcement.

Shortly after Nasrallah's speech, Lebanon's National News Agency reported that "five rockets fired from the Syrian side of the borders landed in Baalbek city in the Kayyal area that were later followed by four other rockets injuring two Lebanese citizens."
The Kayyal area is predominantly Shiite.
Earlier, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that Syrian rebels in Aleppo fired five rockets at Fawaa village in Idlib, which is mostly inhabited by Shiites, and the rebels said in a statement that the shelling on the Shiite village was a response to Nasrallah's speech.

Defence Secretary Des Browne announced a public inquiry into Mousa's death and the Ministry of Defence agreed to pay £2.83m compensation to mistreated detainees.
The inquiry concluded that Mousa's death was the result of a combination of his weakened physical state - caused by factors including lack of food and water, heat, exhaustion, fear, previous injuries and the hooding and stress positions used by British troops - and a final struggle with his guards.

priest for Chillicothe, in November 1858, Father Hogan took it upon himself to leave there for a while, and go back south. Finding the land he previously wanted for his settlement already taken, he went forty miles further west, in Ripley and Oregon counties, along the tributaries of the the Current and Eleven Point rivers, twenty miles north of Arkansas.
"On a wide and fair tract of ground bought and donated by Reverend James Fox of Old Mines, Missouri, a one story log house forty feet square was erected and partitioned into two apartments, one for a chapel and the other for the priest's residence. Soon improvements went on apace; cutting down trees, splitting rails, burning brushwood, making fences, grubbing roots and stumps, building houses, digging wells, opening roads,breaking and ploughing land, and sowing crops. Already in spring of 1859, there were about forty families on the newly acquired government lands, or on improved farms purchased, east and west of Current River, in the counties of Ripley and Oregon; and many more were coming, so that the settlement was fairly striding towards final success. The little chapel amid the forest trees in the wilderness was well attended. Mass, sermon, catechism, confessions, devotions, went on as in old congregations. The quiet solitariness of the place seemed to inspire devotion. Nowhere could the human soul so profoundly worship as in the depths of that leafy forest, beneath the swaying branches of the lofty oaks and pines, where solitude and the heart of man united in praise and wonder | {

She was tall and athletic, but her fair skin gave her a softer look. I could
see the small blue veins subtly showing through the translucent skin of her
breasts. I really wanted her. Lauren looked at me intently, took my head
in her hands, and kissed me deeply.
The feeling of her tongue probing my mouth increased my passion and made
me moan softly. I put my arms around her and pulled her close, feeling the
softness of her breasts against me. Her hands moved lower, cupping my
bottom, giving it a lusty squeeze. I knew I was in for another wild ride of
female sex.
"Come over here," she said, moving to the kitchen area. I followed her to
the table. She leaned against it, half sitting, her thighs open. Thepushed her legs farther apart and lightly sucked

Lauren kept talking, saying dirty things and telling me what a slut I was.

"Suck it, you little slut!" She looked down at me the whole time,
enjoying the sight of my face between her legs. Her fingers were curled in my

the others were watching.

He added: "28 other countries have been so convinced by UK case they have expelled Russians. In contrast, Jeremy Corbyn chooses to side with the Russian spin machine."
The UK has said that identifying the substance at Porton Down was "only one part of the intelligence picture".
It comes as Russia has also sought to discredit the UK's accusations.
Russia pointed to a now-deleted tweet by the Foreign Office which suggested PortonDown had "made clear" the nerve agent was "produced in Russia".
It had sought a joint inquiry after the UK blamed it for being the source of the Novichok nerve agent used.
Russia accused the UK of blocking access to an investigation being carried out by the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
But it lost by 15 votes to six, while 17 member states abstained.
Following the verdict, Mr Johnson said Russia had failed in its attempts to "obscure the truth" and "derail the proper international process".

High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour urged the Chinese government to allow protesters to "exercise their right to freedom of expression and assembly" and urged the Chinese government to refrain from excessive force or mistreatment of any individuals arrested.

replace the vanished legions. Yet the barbarians served under their own chieftains and could be persuaded to adopt Roman military tactics only with difficulty, while they were also reluctant to wear their heavy Roman armour. Even the famous Roman curved, rectangular shield gave way to a lighter, circular type. The imposition of strict discipline on Roman armies had become troublesome from the early third century, with their propensity to make and unmake emperors; now it would be well-nigh impossible. Although neither the bravery nor, surprisingly, the loyalty to Rome of the new recruits could be criticized, the fact remains that by the end of the fourth century the ‘Roman’ army amounted largely to just another barbarian force. Less surprisingly, the new army was not successful against the numericallysmall craft harbor in Gulfport. At this same time, some distance away, two young girls, one, fourteen, and one, sixteen years of age, were talking to three boys who were sitting on an automobile, one of whom was identified as Carleton. Carleton had a pistol "waving it around." He told the girls that the gun was not loaded and let one of them hold it. Carleton offered the girls a beer, which they accepted. He also offered them a quaalude, a form of dope, which they declined and he asked them if they wanted to "get laid," which they also declined. One of the boys asked if they wanted to steal a boat and go for a ride. Upon declining to be "laid," one of the boys with | {

Despite the legal battle with the local government, Rahami seemed to many to be quite Americanized.
As a boy at Columbia High School in Maplewood, New Jersey, he was a 'class clown' who messed around with classmates and talked sports, a friend told Buzzfeed News.

by the couple. Merrell and Hagwell said they’d last seen her playing in the backyard.
An intense search was conducted, but eventually Merrell told OCSO investigators that Hagwell had kicked Adelynn in the head and locked her in a closet in the master bedroom as punishment Thursday night because she had “gotten out of her car seat."
Part of the charges against Merrell concern her taking part in locking her daughter in the closet.
OCSO also had another child in Merrell’s care taken to the Emerald Coast Children’s Advocacy Center on Friday for a wellness exam where a doctor found the 5-year-old boy suffers from malnutrition, weighing less than 33 pounds, with “bones in all regions of his body exposed.”
In addition, investigators determined Merrell had left Adelynn and another child aloneanti-fascists in the pre-trial detention facility by electrocuting them, beating them and hanging them upside down.
While torturing them, security chiefs forced the activists to memorise the testimony the FSB wanted them to give: that they were part of a fictional terrorist group called ‘The Network’. The FSB claims that the detainees planned to arrange explosions during the presidential elections and the World Cup to “further destabilise the political situation in the country”.
Two more anti-fascists were arrested in St. Petersburg at the end of January 2018 and were also beaten, electrocuted and forced to incriminate themselves by saying they were members of ‘The Network’.
A third person was accused in St. Petersburg and two more from Penza have also been arrested for supposed involvement in this make-believe organisation.

crafting the agenda for the next two-year term.“This election is about jobs and the economy,” he said. “And it’s about controlling spending in Washington.” If he’s re-elected, Scalise notes, he is uniquely positioned to build upon his positions as deputy GOP whip and communications chairman for the Republican Study Committee, an influential conservative think tank in Congress. Scalise is considered to be a leading candidate to become the group's next chairman.But before he can get there, Scalise must defeat four opponents on the Nov. 6 ballot. A runoff, as needed, is scheduled for Dec. 8.Scalise was first elected to the 1st Congressional District during a special election in 2008, but now he’s running in a retooled district, a result of last year's redistricting process.In Terrebonne Parish, anyone wholives below Hollywood Road will be voting in the newly crafted 1st Congressional District. In Lafourche, the district includes everything south of La. 1 as it runs through the St. Charles Community. The district also includes the parishes of Plaquemines, St. Bernard and St. Tammany and portions of Jefferson, Orleans and Tangipahoa.Challenging Scalise are Republican Gary King of New Orleans, Democrat M.V. "Vinny" Mendoza of Ponchatoula, independent David "Turk" Turknett of Galliano and independent Arden Wells of Ponchatoula. Aside from incumbency, what separates Scalise from the pack is his $815,000 war chest.

States are now being reversed to carry oil from production areas in Texas and Oklahoma to the gulf.
The Seaway pipeline, for instance, is now transporting 400,000 barrels of oil a day to gulf refineries from Cushing, Oklahoma, where the benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude quoted in New York is stored.
When it is fully online in the first quarter of 2014, it will move 850,000 barrels a day.

The flow is also being reversed on the Magellan Longhorn pipeline, which this year began transporting oil from west Texas, where the shale oil boom is in full swing, to the gulf refineries. It is expected to reach peak capacity in the third quarter.
Sunoco Logistics also has a number of projects that will drain oil from the Permian Basin, a huge oilof the California Highway Patrol.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia becomes the first major American city with a tax on sugary sodas — one and a half cents an ounce. That's 24 cents for a 16-ounce drink. The industry is challenging the law in court.
"The people who can least afford to pay it will be the ones that are paying a higher proportion of it," says Susan Nelly of the American Beverage Association.
Berkeley, California, was the first city to impose such a sugar tax, adopting it in 2015. When Michael Bloomberg was New York's mayor, he attempted to have a similar tax imposed by the board of health, but a court said only New York's city council had that power.

Even though A.G. Currie Middle School and Jeane Thorman Elementary School have shared the same campus since 1973, they have historically been separate schools with different administrations and individual goals.
However, the start of the 2013-14 school year marked a change in the direction of both schools with students and administration striving to make the schools interact to create a stronger campus experience.
To commemorate the joining of the two schools, the Currie Middle School Associated Student Body created the Stronger Together – Stronger Than Ever event, which featured carnival games for the students and families of Currie and Thorman, said Christine Matos, principal for Thorman Elementary School and Currie Middle School.
The event was slated for Thursday at the school.

They believe that Phillips has the right under the U.S. Constitution to protect his religious rights by declining to support something that conflicts with his beliefs.
The Alliance Defending Freedom, which is arguing on Philips' behalf before the U.S. Supreme Court this fall, cited 45 friend-of-the-court briefs that have been submitted to the high court insupport of the Colorado cake artist.
Just days earlier, ADF filed its opening brief in the case.
WND reported ADF said Colorado is "consistently opposing" anyone who objects to publicly supporting same-sex "marriage."
Phillips was ordered by the state's Civil Rights Commission to provide his customized wedding cakes to same-sex duos if he provided them to anyone. He also was forced to undergo state-mandated, homosexual-rights thought training, along with his staff.
A member of the state's Civil Rights Commission, Diann Rice, publicly exhibited bias against him during a hearing, comparing him to a Nazi.
"I would also like to reiterate what we said in the hearing or the last meeting," Rice said during consideration of Phillips' case. "Freedom of religion and religion has been used to justify all kinds of discrimination throughout history, | {

earlier errors, they would not know about the credits.
The calculations that led to these credits were not
disputed. The employers did not attempt to get refunds.
In 1988, the procedure changed. A new law required the
Director to pay interest on refunds of "erroneously paid
contributions." The law also required the Director to "quarterly
furnish each employer with a statement of credit balances in the
employer's account" starting after January 1, 1988. 820 ILCS

bayonets, at four hundred yards, the Boers opened fire. A sheet of
flame seemed to erupt from under their feet, one soldier stated later. A
sergeant of the Argyles said “It was as if a great roaring opened up” and
“it was like a dam bursting its walls.” The Boers poured into the serried
ranks, confusion reigned, orders and counter orders flew almost as thick
as the bullets. The soldiers broke and ran, trampling on each other in
panic. The deadly fire mowed them down, so that they were forced to fall
on their faces and lie there. Any movement brought a Mauser bullet, the
Boers were deadly marksmen, and they were proving it. Even a hand
reached for a canteen of water, and the soldier was instantly killed.
For hours the Highlanders were pinned down, and asthe sun began to

fiercely that some soldiers, crazed with thirst and delirious from heat,

army, the Guards, and the Highlanders, the apple of the eye of Queen
Victoria, mightiest monarch on earth, had been thrashed and humiliated

Boers leaders, General De La Ray, and General Cronje, he took no part

from their allies, who came with foot-
soldiers and knights from Lucca, Prato, Volterra, San Miniato, San
Gimignano, and Colle di Valdelsa, all of which were in league with the
commune and people of Florence. In Florence there were eight
hundred horsemen who were citizens, as well as over five hundred
mercenaries.
When the army was assembled, it departed at the end of August. With
pomp and circumstance they led forth the carroccio and a bell which
they called Martinella, the latter being placed on a cart with a
wooden castle on wheels. Almost all the people went bearing the
standards of the guilds, and there was not a house or family in
Florence from which at least one person and sometimes two or more
(according to their power) did not go forth on foot or horseback. And
when they foundthemselves in Sienese territory, at the designated
spot on the river Arbia, in the place called Montaperti, with the
Perugians and Orvietans who joined them there, they had over three
thousand knights and thirty thousand foot-soldiers.
While the Florentines were preparing for their campaign, those
in Siena who had devised the plan sought to strengthen it by sending
other friars to Florence. They plotted treason with certain powerful
Ghibellines who had remained in Florence. These Ghibellines were to
join the campaign. Then, once the troops were in battle order, they
were to desert the ranks and join their own group, thus throwing the
Florentines into confusion. Those in Siena hatched this plot because it
seemed to them that they were greatly outnumbered by the
Florentines. And so it occurred.

Vice President Joe Biden faced off Thursday against a heckler who yelled "my friend died" during a recent battle in Syria.
Biden was speaking at a campaign event for Hillary Clinton in Parma, Ohio, when a man interrupted and criticized the Obama administration's decision to demand the retreat of Syrian Kurdish fighters back east of the Euphrates River after helping U.S.-backed Syria Democratic Forces achieve victory against the Islamic State in Manbij earlier in the month.
The man identified himself as a Kurdish armed forces veteran, and said his friend in the force, Levi Shirley, died near Manbij, according to the New York Daily News. He was reportedly killed by a land mine in July.
Biden replied the reason was because "the deal was to get them into Manbij, and towork, was they'd go back across the Euphrates [River] so we could have special forces moved in." Last week during a visit to Turkey, Biden assured his Turkish counterparts that the Kurdish YPG, which Ankara views as a terrorist organization, would make the retreat away from the northern Syria city near the Turkish border or else lose the support of the U.S.
When the man, seemingly unappeased by the vice president's response, again mentioned that his friend died, Biden replied, "so did my son." He was referring to his son Beau, who served in Iraq, later died of brain cancer in 2015.

At the annual meeting of the North American chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics in June, researchers at Amazon and the University of Sheffield released a new dataset that can be used to train machine-learning systems to determine the veracity of factual assertions online. The dataset is called FEVER, for fact extraction and verification.
Just two months later, the dataset’s developers have announced preliminary results of an online competition to build fact-verification systems using the FEVER data. Submissions from 23 university, industry, and independent teams were judged according to their “FEVER scores,” which measure both the accuracy of their truth assessments and the quality of the evidence they present to support them.

State Carpentry, Inc. We affirm with respect to defendant State Carpentry and affirm in part and reverse in part with respect to defendant PMG Building.
This litigation stems from injuries suffered by plaintiff while he was performing roofing work as an independent contractor. Plaintiff and several other men were hired by the president of PMG Building to do roofing work on three new houses. The men arrived at the site on September 18, 1995, and immediately began work. The record indicates that the men were told that the site was ready for shingling and that they did not report to anyone or review any plans before beginning work. After finishing the garage on one house, plaintiff began to shingle a small porch overhang. The overhang extended two feet fromthe house and measured forty-two inches up to the peak on each side. It was attached to the front of the house with nails; the permanent support posts had not yet been installed because the concrete footings had not been poured. Plaintiff did not talk to anyone about how the overhang was supported, and did not pry back the siding to examine the support. Plaintiff believed that the overhang was sturdy enough to support his weight. As he stepped onto the overhang to attach a shingle, the overhang pulled away from the house and collapsed without warning. Plaintiff fell twenty feet and suffered severe and permanent injuries.
On October 20, 1995, plaintiff filed a complaint against PMG Building, State Carpentry, and Robert Wurm doing business as Bob's Siding.[1] PMG | {

is not considered an "Ones." It is within the capability of the shepherd to fend off dogs.
The words of Esther are now understood. Esther justified her action with the claim that she was "Ones," acting under duress. She then remembered that she had called Achashverosh a dog in her prayer for salvation, a contradiction to her present claim for Divine amnesty. If Achashverosh was considered like an attacking dog, then her act should not be considered an "Ones," an act beyond her control, because the attack of a dog can easily be repelled as the Mishnah in Bava Metzia states. Hence, she immediately corrected her mistake and admitted that Achashverosh was more than just a "dog." It was far more appropriate to compare him to a lion; afterall, his domain extended to vast distances and his power was virtually unlimited. Since Achashverosh was a "lion," his attack is considered an "Ones" for which Esther should be vindicated.
3) AGADAH: QUEEN ESTHER'S INTENTION IN MAKING A BANQUET FOR ACHASHVEROSH AND HAMAN
The Gemara suggests ten explanations for why Esther invited Haman to join her and the king at the first banquet she made in the king's honor as part of her plan to persuade the king to rescind the decree against the Jews. Since she had no intention to reveal her identity as a Jew or to beseech the king to save her people from the evil plot of Haman until the second banquet, why did she invite Haman to the first?

“The result is what it is,” Putin, smiling and casual, said during a televised meeting with party officials. “One can surely say the party has achieved a very good result.”
In recent years, he distanced himself from the party as its approval ratings suffered amid endless corruption scandals and a crippling economic crisis.
United Russia’s previous victory in 2011 with 49% of the vote prompted calls of fraud and triggered massiveurban protests throughout Russia that shook the Kremlin. In 2007, the party had won almost 65% of the vote during a period of impressive economic growth fueled by high oil prices.
Still, United Russia appeals to many people because of its omnipresence on Kremlin-controlled television, and the lack of a genuine choice.
United Russia “has been criticized a lot in recent years, but the critics are hired by [President] Obama,” said Vasily Karatayev, a 43-year-old construction worker who cast his ballot for a United Russia candidate in a central Moscow district.
His opinion echoes a choir of Kremlin loyalists that eagerly accepted Putin’s tilt to neoconservative and belligerently anti-Western policies after his return to a third presidency in 2012. Despite United Russia’s fading approval ratings, supporters insist the continued tensions with | {

Business leaders and politicians asked former Foreign Secretary William Hague how the UK would "get round" the EU referendum result, he has revealed.
In the Daily Telegraph, Lord Hague said he was asked the question "for months... everywhere I went abroad" if "we would lose heart" about leaving.
He said he explained to them that "this really is a democracy".
Lord Hague also backed a "transitional" withdrawal from the EU saying it had "immense" attractions.
'Message got through'
Lord Hague - who campaigned to remain in the EU - stood down as foreign secretary in 2014, and left the House of Commons in 2015.
He wrote in Tuesday's Telegraph: "The electorate voted to leave the EU, and therefore we leave.
"What is more, the number of people who voted to do sowas higher than the number of votes cast for any government in our history.
"To me and many of my former colleagues in government who preferred to remain, the argument was over.
"In the recent general election, both main parties were clear that they were committed to the referendum outcome.
"Globally, the message has now got through."
But Lord Hague added that "just as the message was accepted, the voters pulled off another surprise and refused to give a majority to the ministers negotiating the exit" [in the general election].
He said there was the clear potential for Brexit to become the "greatest economic, diplomatic and constitutional muddle in the modern history of the UK, with unknowable consequences for the country, the government and the Brexit project itself".
And he said the Chancellor Philip | {

Following an exchange of gunfire between the assailants and the lone attendant, Ollie Bell, the intruders fled the scene carrying an injured accomplice. Bell, who had also been struck by gunfire, fell mortally wounded. Quantities of coins, cigarettes and other items of inventory were found strewn about the station's office.
The assailants' escape was observed by Jack Porter and Janella Profit. Both Profit and Porter testified that as they approached the station at approximately 2:30 a.m. on the date in question, each heard the sound of shots emanating from within the station, prompting them to run to the porch of a nearby home.

State of Capture report.
Earlier on Monday afternoon, City Press reported that the Asset Forfeiture Unit was going after the Gupta family and their associates and was set to serve summons on them on Tuesday morning, to preserve assets of theirs worth R1.6 billion.
City Press understands that the process was meant to be accompanied by the simultaneous arrests of members of the Gupta family, who are also the business partners of Zuma’s son Duduzane, as well as some of their close associates, which include senior politicians.
City Press understands from senior sources within the Hawks that they have in their sights Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane, who irregularly helped the Guptas acquire Optimum Coal mine from Glencore.
However, sources within the Ministry of Police told City Press late last year thatbe preserved pending the outcome of their prosecution.
After they have been successfully prosecuted, the assets are then permanently forfeited to the state.
The R1.6 billion includes an application against financial advisory firm McKinsey and Co, and Gupta-linked Trillian which was mostly owned by Gupta lieutenant Salim Essa, which syphoned off hundreds of millions of rands from Eskom.
City Press also reported that R30 million of that amount relates to the failed dairy farm project through which the Free State provincial government handed a Gupta-linked company called Estina – whose sole director was an IT salesman with no farming experience – a free 99-year lease to a 4400-hectare farm outside Vrede.
The Free State MEC for agriculture at the time was Zwane.
