highly cultured kingdom, with a long history of learning and scholarship, and a tradition of artistic endeavour. The heart of its military are the Nemedian Knights, clad in impressive metal armour, but the knights are bolstered by mercenary troops from the frozen north, the fierce, unruly Aesir of Asgard. The capital, Belverus, is in the west of the realm, and is famed for the fine quality of the jewellery and armour that it produces.

South-east of Aquilonia lies Ophir, a lovely kingdom of mountains and rivers, and beautiful cities. The capital, Ianthe, is a marvel of towers and domes, centred around the Citadel, where the king’s court, the Ianthium, is located. The country expands across most of modern northern Italy, as well as portions of what is now theMediterranean. Ophir is not large, but it is rich in gold and gems, like its Old Testament namesake, and this wealth is worked into the armour of its knights. The mountains that form the Nemedian border are the main source of this wealth, and they are considered impregnable – the few passes that exist are infested with vampires and ghosts of various sorts. The only soft border it possesses is with Koth to the south, and Ophir pays yearly tribute rather than be invaded by their neighbour’s mad Emperor.

The kingdom of Argos is directly south of Aquilonia, and it is considered the dominant maritime power of the Hyborian Age. Like Ophir, it is another small country with wealth far greater than its size would suggest, with less than


two million people. Its merchants and lords are known for the intrigues that they spin. Argos is based on medieval Venice and other Mediterranean ocean traders, and occupies a space that more or less spreads from southern France downwards and across the Mediterranean basin. Its important cities are all along the coast, including the capital, Messantia. Further inland, orchards and forests supply the dominant ship building industry with timber.

Zingara is the last of the seven nations on Aquilonia’s borders, and it is a nation consumed with its rivalry with Argos. The land border between Zingara and Argos consists of forests seething with ghouls and monsters, so their conflicts take place on the open sea. The kingdom is located over what is now the Iberian peninsula, and loosely inspiredby the peoples of the same. Zingarans are proud people and clever sailors, second only to their rivals. They are also enthusiastic pirates. They would have more influence internationally, but constant infighting amongst the nobility weakens them as a power. The king rules in the capital of Kordava, which boasts one of the finest harbours of the Age, but his word carries little weight outside the city.

Past the nations that border Aquilonia, correspondences with modern geography become somewhat less certain. North of Cimmeria lie Vanaheim and Asgard, the frozen nations of Nordheim that were the cradle of the Hyborian peoples. It may be that Nordheim is what remains of the enigmatic pre-Cataclysm nation of Thule. In the modern era, the mountains of


Asgard remain in the form of the Scandinavian peninsula, but Vanaheim is long-since drowned.

Vanaheim, the west half of Nordheim, is tundra, a bleak place that is inhospitable at best. The western coast is slightly less bleak, and the peoples there fish, hunt and scavenge. Further inland, life is harder, and there is little there for people short of fighting and hunting the scarce game. The Vanir are ferocious warriors, bloodthirsty and harsh, and the nation comprises many tiny chiefdoms and kingdoms.

To the east, Asgard, home of the Aesir, has mountains and forests but no coast. This means they have a significantly larger supply of game to hunt than their neighbours, and they are slightly less vicious and hostile as a result. Like the Vanir, the Aesir live intribal kingdoms, each one ruled from the king’s great hall, and they survive by hunting, trading meat and ivory, and raiding each other. There is just one clear visible difference between the Vanir and the Aesir – the former are red-haired, the latter blonde. Otherwise, they are similarly tall, pale, muscular peoples, fur-clad and horn-helmeted, and to be greatly feared in battle.

To the East of Nordheim lies Hyperborea, an ancient, haunted land of grim stone fortresses spread across endless snowy plains. It is analogous with modern Finland and the north-west corner of Russia. The Hyperboreans are extremely tall, gaunt, and pale, with white hair and green eyes. They are ruled by a witch-queen, who vests her authority in a guild of wizards called the White Hand. Whilst the


land they live in is forlorn, their sorcerous power is immense, and their culture is steeped in the arcane and unhallowed. The Hyperboreans are endlessly hungry for slaves, and although they retain a particular spite for Aquilonia, they are feared by all wise nations.

Below Hyperborea, and bordering Nemedia, is Brythunia, which would eventually become the Baltic States. It is a flat country, a place of prairies, plains, and forests, and horses are a vital part of everyday life its peoples. There are some fortified cities ruled over by this or that member of the country’s nobility, but for most of the Brythunians, life is rural, or even nomadic. They are known as a spirited, attractive people. The king of the country has little influence outside his capital ofPirogia, but he and his lords can field a huge, frighteningly well-disciplined cavalry in time of need.

Corinthia lies south of Brythunia and Nemedia, below the Karpash mountains. Inspired by ancient Greece, it is a confederacy of mountainous city-states known for its impressive weaponry and lethally efficient infantry shield-phalanxes. Although there is a king, each city is truly ruled by its senator and attendant council. The Corinthians are a primarily agricultural people, although there is some limited mining and trade from caravans passing east. It is one of the few nations of the Age that is actually friendly towards Aquilonia.

East of Corinthia is Zamora, a wizard-infested nation ruled despotically by a puppet king wholly in thrall to his sorcerous chief advisor. The people of Zamora worship Zath the Spider-God,


and the country is famed for its tall, spider-infested towers raised in his honour. Zamora is steeped in arcane mystery and intrigue, and its wizards can see far indeed. It also maintains a vast network of spies and assassins across the rest of the nations. It is these disturbing agents, more than the nation’s modest army, which keep it safe from invasion.

The empire of Koth nestles south of Ophir, Corinthia and Zamora. Once, it was the heart of the great empire of Acheron, a pre-Hyborian state that is thought to have once been home to refugees fleeing the fall of Valusia and its snake-people masters during the Cataclysm. A large country, it includes mountains, prairies, fertile plains, an escarpment, and even an extensive desert. Although it is oneof the most powerful nations of the southern Hyborian lands, and several other states pay it tribute, its emperor is insane, and his whims have driven the once-mighty country into poverty.

Shem lies to the south-east of Argos and to the south of Koth. Inspired by the great Mesopotamiam civilisations, it is an ancient, sprawling land with mines of copper and gold, and land well-suited to vineyards, fruit, and cattle. Sprawling as it does between the lunacy of Koth and the malignancy of Stygia, it is a land of fierce, intelligent people well-practiced in resilience and adaptation. Shemite textiles, crafts, and devices are as highly sought-after as the nation’s gold and wines.

Below Shem, across the river Styx, Stygia is the evil that lurks between the Hyborian nations and the


far south. When Valusia fell, refugees came here, and some of their serpent masters came with them. It is said that the serpent people still abide here, in hidden places, spreading their unhallowed knowledge and advancing their plans. Certainly the ruling theocracy is open in their worship of Set, the Serpent-God. Much of Stygia is desert, but those sands are home to innumerable ruined temples, arcane tombs, and ancient wizards’ towers. There are some marshes and forests along the coast in the west, and a bit of rainforest in the south, but the desert, and the things it hides, are inescapable. No nation, not even Hyperborea, can match Stygia’s knowledge of sorcery and dark magics.

Further out, as you move beyond the sphere of Hyborian influence, knowledge gives wayto rumour and legend. Heading south of Stygia, Kush is said to be the most civilised of the kingdoms that will become sub-Saharan Africa, but neighbouring Darfar and Keshan are savage and politically weak, and often raided by Stygian slavers. Punt is said to be rich in gold, but its neighbour, Zembabwei, supposedly mounts soldiers on huge, flying reptiles that are surely kin to dragons. Of the Black Kingdoms of the far south, little is even whispered, but the foremost amongst them is said to be Amazonia, a society of terrifying warrior women.

Moving east from Shem, over the wastes, you encounter Turan, the rulers of the huge inland sea, the Vilayet. They are expert horse-riders, and sweep the wastes incessantly, but they are always bedevilled by pirates and


raiders. Iranistan is said to be a stony land with temperate coasts and demon-haunted mountains in its Drujistan region. Across the Vilayet sea from Turan is Hyrkania, whose wild, fierce horsemen are constantly fighting. Vast mountains keep these savage people away from Kosala and Vendhya, a pair of ancient and exotic allied kingdoms with access to strange mystic sorceries unknown elsewhere. The legendary land of Uttara Kuru is said to be near them, steeped in magic and strange practice.

The undisputed master of the far east is Khitai, ancient and powerful and vast beyond measure. Its wizards are said to be beyond compare. Rumours say that Khitai’s armies are endless, its God-Emperor wise and stern, and its might absolute. Despite this, Kambuja is its dire enemy, an equally ancientnation of jungles and strange temple-cities that fields its own terrifying wizards in battle, along with unstoppable war elephants. Kusan, a civilised and learned nation, supposedly keeps these voracious neighbours at bay through its superb cadre of diplomats and ambassadors. Only the most well-learned have any idea that in the oceans past Khitai, the remnants of archaic Lemuria still wait.

The fall

Five hundred years after Conan, the Hyborian Age collapses, weakened by constant barbarian assault and finally destroyed by invaders from Hyrkania. The root cause lies at Aquilonia’s feet, however.

Having annexed Zingara, Argos, Ophir and parts of Shem, Aquilonia forces tribute out of Koth, Corinthia, and those parts of Shem it had not simply absorbed. Other powers rise against them, and Aquilonia is forced into a series of battles


from all directions. While they are distracted, aided by a zealous Nemedian reformer, the Picts swell mightily in both number and technological understanding, and become a constant and sophisticated threat.

During a war with Nemedia, Aquilonia is betrayed by the long-mistreated people of its western Bossonian border district, who allow a Pictish raider host to flood through unopposed. Distracted, Aquilonia lose to Nemedia, then respond savagely against the Picts. The brutality of the retaliation unites the Picts into a full invasion, which sweeps down through the decadent Hyborian nations like fire. The Cimmerians flooded from the north to take part in the slaughter and plunder. With Aquilonia in tatters, no nation can resist. As the Aquilonian Empire disintegrates, the Hyrkanians in the east sense weakness and attack, coming throughZamora in a tide of blood. Eventually, the Picts and the Hyrkanians fight each other to a standstill either side of Nemedia – the last remnant of the age of Hyborian civilisation.

The Nemedians abide, for a time, as do the Cimmerians. But the advancing glaciers grind everything to dust, driving humanity before them in a savage, squalling mess of barbarism. The final blow to the Age is one last great upheaval, perhaps caused by glacial weight. Whole regions are drowned as Western Africa rises from the sea, and the Mediterranean floods in to cover what had once been Argos and Zingara and Ophir.

The continent that had once been called Thuria is forever shattered into pieces.

4000 Hears fans will attend the game in Motherwell in this afternoon's quarter-final match against Hearts. The Hearts fans are hoping to see their club reach the semi-finals for the first time since 2012. This season Hearts have had difficult games against Motherwell.

The man who was killed–a black man–was actually a hero. The cop apparently thought he was a criminal.

Chicago’s WGN reports that armed security guard Jemel Roberson, 26, quickly put an end to a drunken shootout at Manny’s Blue Bar in the Village of Midlothian, Illinois at around 4:00 a.m. on Sunday.

Security guards initially requested that a rowdy group of men leave the bar because they’d been drinking too much and an argument ensued. One of those men then apparently returned with a gun and opened fire on the establishment–prompting a 911 call. Roberson returned fire and likely saved countless lives in the process.

Ukraine crisis: Military to pull back artillery in east Published duration 22 September 2014 Related Topics Ukraine conflict

Ukraine is preparing to withdraw heavy weaponry away from separatist rebel lines in the east, the military says.

The two sides agreed on Saturday to set up a buffer zone in eastern Ukraine, more than a fortnight after a shaky ceasefire came into force.

Although the truce is still in place, clashes have continued around the cities of Donetsk and Mariupol.

More than 3,000 people have died since fighting broke out in the two regions of Donetsk and Luhansk in April.

Ukraine's parliament passed a bill last week granting three-year "self-rule" to parts of the Donetskwould be moved, but all other units and their weapons would remain in place, he said.

According to the deal, military aircraft are banned from flying over the conflict zone and "foreign mercenaries" are to be withdrawn on both sides.

Foreigners are known to be fighting on both sides and Russia has repeatedly insisted that any of its citizens fighting alongside separatists in Ukraine are doing so in a private capacity.

Checkpoints manned by Ukrainian forces had come under heavy shelling at Donetsk airport and near Mariupol, Ukrainian media reported on Monday.

Col Lysenko said that two servicemen had been killed in the past day.

Winchester House
United States, California, San Jose
Many mysteries surround this surreal mansion. There are a hundred and sixty rooms in this house, many having unique features such as windows looking into other rooms, doors opening outside from the third floor, and various sizes of doors. “Why,” one might ask; the reason is quite simple. After Sarah Winchester’s husband and child died in 1884, she went to try to contact their spirits; she wanted to know what to do concerning the ghosts of all the people that had been killed by the Winchester rifle. She was unable to contacther family, but was instructed to incessantly add rooms to the house to constantly confuse the unfriendly spirits. When the earthquake of 1906 struck, she was pinned a room. Building continued and she was never seen again. Today, residents hear ghostly music emanating from the house. Many other strange activities have been reported as well.
Ghost Hunters investigated this place..

University Chapel
United States, Alabama, Auburn
Once used as a theater, the University Chapel was a hospital during the Civil War. When the chapel was used by theater students, it was haunted by a ghost identified as Sydney Grimlett. When the thespians moved their operations across the street to the Telfair Peet Theater, Sydney followed. Sydney Grimlett, a confederate soldier, had his leg amputated before he died. When there are theater productions,


Sydney makes his presence known by opening and closing drawers, making rattling noises, locking and unlocking doors, and destroying equipment only to repair it again. There have also been reports of pianos playing and footsteps on the catwalk.

Parkwood Apartments
United States, Alabama, Birmingham
During the 1970’s, these apartments were the site of a multiple homicide. On the anniversary of the murders, which occurs in January, the stench of burning human flesh is pungent. Blood appears to ooze from the upstairs foyer. One woman even reported feeling fingers caress her neck and bosom on that January day. Many believe the apparition to be that of the murderer; he was never found.

Haunted Mining Town
United States, Arizona, Jerome
During the turn of the century, thousands of miners flocked to this boomtown to seek fortune.After the copper mine was depleted, all but one hundred of the miners left.
Today, the community is a haven for artists, and has been designated a historical landmark.
Ghosts in the town include that of a prostitute that resides in the building now called “Spook Hall.” In the Old Episcopal Church on Cleopatra Hill, a white, misty sprit of unknown origin has been spotted on numerous occasions. In the Old Company Clinic, the ghosts of the influenza epidemic of 1917 are said to reside.

The Myrtles’ Plantation
United States, Louisiana, St. Francisville
The Myrtles’ Plantation House was built in the late 18th century by General David Bradford, a Revolutionary War officer. After leading the Whiskey Rebellion in Virginia, General Bradford was to the area that would soon become Louisiana. There, through a


Spanish land grant, he acquired the land that would eventually become the Myrtles’. Gen. Bradford chose the location since it was the highest point around. Unfortunately, the spot had served as a burial ground for the Bayou Goulas and Houmas Indian tribes. When his workers came across bones as they were laying the foundation, they were ordered by Bradford to stack and burn them. For many years, Gen. Bradford lived in the house with his family. He only once reported seeing a ghost–a naked Indian woman that was always crying. After he died a natural death, Gen. Bradford’s house and plantation were passed on to his daughter and son-in-law. Soon after taking over the plantation, Judge Woodruff, the son-in-law, chose one his house slaves, Chloe, to serve ashis mistress. As young woman, Chloe once caught the judge in a very compromising situation. Woodruff was upset at what she had seen, so he had Chloe’s left ear cut off. To hide the awful scar, she began wearing a green turban and it became her trademark. To try to regain her good name with the Judge, Chloe laced a cake with oleander flowers. She hoped the judge’s family would get sick and she would be able to nurse them back to health. Unfortunately, she used too much oleander and everyone except the judge died. When he found out what happened, Woodruff had Chloe hanged and left in the tree for several days. He would not allow her burial on the grounds and had her thrown into the


Mississippi. Today, her angry spirit terrorizes the grounds.

As the story goes, a young woman returned home from work one afternoon to find her Doberman Pincer gagging and choking on something..what, she did not know. Unable to help the dog dislodge the foreign matter herself, she rushed him to the nearest animal hospital, where she was advised to leave the dog for observation. Upon returning home a second time, she immediately received a telephone call from the animal hospital. "Yes, is my Doberman alright?" she asked. "Did you find out what he was choking on?"
In response, the veterinary doctor told her, "Listen...don't ask any questions, just get out of your house, NOW!! The police are on their way!"
Alarmed, she asked, "W-Why? Is my dog alright? What's going on??"
"Lady, Idon't have time to explain," the doctor replied. "For your own safety, just do as I say! Get out of your house NOW, and wait for the police to arrive!!"
Now frantic, the woman did as the doctor told her, and ran out of her house to wait for the police. When the police did arrive moments later, they searched the woman's house thoroughly...and in an upstairs closet, they found a male intruder who'd been hiding there for some time. Understandably, the intruder had gone into shock, as his right hand was still profusely bleeding. He was soon taken away in an ambulance.
As it turned out, the woman's protective Doberman Pincer had been choking on three of the man's fingers...which the doctor had removed from deep within the dog's


throat!

The story begins in Sarajevo. Sarajevo then was in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a state recently annexed by the imperial court of Vienna. The Hapsburg Dynasty gave an open topped limousine, as a gift, to the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the troubled throne. The Archduke rode in it for the first and last time in July of 1914 on a state visit to Sarajevo.
In the limo with the him on this day were his beloved wife the Archduchess Sophie Ferdinand,General Potiorek of the Austian Army, three Austrian Dignitaries, and of course the driver. During an official tour of the city, a nationalist by the name of Gavrilo Princip stepped out onto the road and shot into the limo. Both Franz and Sophie were shot and killed.
Soon after thisincident, World War I began.
Soon after the Archduke's death a general by the name of Potiorek became the next victim "errr" i mean owner of the car. A few weeks into World War I his armies suffered a disasterous rout at the hands of the weak and disorganized army of Serbia. After the embaressing loss to Serbia, General Portiorek was summoned back to Vienna by the Emperor Franz Josef I.
There in Vienna, the Emperor made an example out of the general by humiliating him. With his reputation in ruines, he lost all grip on reality and became insane. He died in Vienna a raging lunatic in an asylum.
Soon after General Portiorek was summoned back to Vienna, a captain from his personal staff was given ownershipof the cursed limousine.


Nine days later he was driving down a narrow road. Two peasants walked out in
front of him. The captain, trying to avoid them, swerved and lost control of the vehicle. The 2 peasants were hit and killed. He then rammed into a tree on the side of the road. The crash killed him instantly. The curse of the limousine takes anothe life.
The car remained ownerless for a couple years after the captain's death. After World War I ended, the governor of newly independent Yugoslavia claimed ownership of the limo. After he had the car restored to look brand new, the governor endured a series of terrible accidents. One of these accidents was so severe, he had to have his left arm amputated him his left arm.
Having no usefor the limousine anymore, the governor sold it to a doctor. For six months, the doctor had no problems with the limo. Then one night he mysteriously loss control of the car, and tipped the limousine upside down into a ditch. The subsequent crash killed him. For he was trapped under the car, and crushed to death.
The car was passed over from the doctor to a relation of his. A diamond dealer by the name of Simon Mantharides. Simon had the limousine for almost a year. During that year, he seemed to have no ill fated luck befall upon him. Then one day out of the blue, Simon Mantharides was found dead in his house. He had committed suicide. Strike up another body for the cursed limousine.
The limousine


was then passed into the hands of a Swiss racing driver. He didnt have the limo for long though. He was killed while driving it. The limo swerved off the road and crashed against a stone wall, throwing him over the wall and killing him.
The next in line of victims was a Serbian farmer. This undisclosed farmer bought the limousine for an unbelievable sum because of its now infamous historical background. One morning the limo would not start. So knowing he needed to get into town to get some help to fix the limousine, he hitched a ride on a horse and cart. Unknowingly, the farmer forgot to switch off the ignition, and the engine started up suddenly. With the sudden start of the engine, the limo lurchedforward into the horse and cart. The farmer was thrown from his ride. The cart then fell on him, crushing the farmer to death.
The last known death from the cursed limo was a garage owner that restored the limousine to look like new. He was on his way to a wedding in the limousine with 6 other friends when his tragedy happened. The garage owner and his friends were late for the wedding and tried to pass a long line of vehicles in the breakdown lane of the highway. The limousine spun out of control and crashed on the side of the road. The crash killed both him and four of the six friends that were riding with him.
The limousine is now parked harmlessly in a Viennese museum.

It is told in the legend, that on one of the last Sundays
before Lent, there was to be a dance at a place called the Vineyard. The
Vineyard was a ballroom situated in one of the inner suburbs of Danzig.
After going to confession and communion that day, a young servant woman
told her mother that she was invited to attend the dance. Despite the
reprimands of her mother, anhonest laundress, who warned her not to
desecrate the sabath day by going to such an affair. The young lady
couldn't resist the temptations of going to such a gala, even though it was
a holy day. She arrived at The Vineyard around 8:00pm, but it didnt take
long before the punishment for her sacralidge came. Around midnight, she
saw a handsomely dressed stranger with black hair and eyes that shown
brightly like onyx. The handsome man spotted the young lady and approached
her. In words that seemed to penetrate into the depths of her soul he said
"May I dance with you". She took his arm with pleasure. As they began to
waltz, she noticed how wonderful the man could dance. As they glided across
the dance floor, the couple started dancing faster and faster.
One of the


musicians playing in the band was watching
dancing couple carefully. As he watched the two dance across the floor, he
began to notice that the man had strange looking feet. After further
observation, he came to the startling conclusion that the mans feet were
not feet at all. They were shaped like hooves, goats hooves to be exact.
The musician realized that the man wasnt a man at all. Who he was looking
at was none other than Satan himself! He drew his fellow musicians
attention to the couple, and in the very middle of the waltz they were
playing, they stopped and broke into a religous hymn. As they started
playing this hymn, the clock struck twelve. The devil pulled the young lady

A seminal Buddhist text, the Lotus Sutra was among the most frequently copied sutras in East Asia. Illustrated Buddhist scriptures produced at the Royal Scriptorium were highly valued not only on the peninsula but throughout northeast Asia. The volumes usually have a rectangular accordion format and calligraphy written in gold or silver pigment on indigo-dyed paper, often preceded by elaborate frontispiece illustrations, as seen here. This fourteenth-century example (volume two of the Lotus Sutra) demonstrates the standards of excellence for which Goryeo sutras are renowned.The illustration is divided into two halves and addresses the question of universal salvation and ways to enlightenment. The book is read from right to left.Far right: The preaching scene. Seated on a high pedestal and surrounded by bodhisattvas, heavenly kings, and two ofhis disciples, the historical Buddha Shakyamuni preaches to a third disciple, Shariputra.Upper left: The parable of the burning house. A father (representing the Buddha) promises animal-drawn carts to his child (representing sentient beings) to tempt him away from poisonous insects, snakes, and the burning house (the perils of the mortal world).

A far-Left Maoist group run by an Indian-origin man and his Tanzanian-Indian wife in the UK, who allegedly held three women captive here for 30 years, has been accused of attempting to indoctrinate children as young as 10.
Aravindan Balakrishnan, 73, referred to as Comrade Bala, and his
67-year-old wife Chanda were arrested last week over allegations of keeping three women in slave-like conditions in their south London flat for three decades.

A local shopkeeper recalls the couple trying to influence his 10-year-old son in the 1970s when Comrade Bala led the Workers' Institute of Marxism-Leninism-Mao Zedong Thought from a bookshop in Brixton area of south London.

used as this was the best technology available. Both fuel and oxidizer were toxic and required extreme care when loading in the aircraft, yet there were occasions when Komets exploded on the tarmac from the propellants' hypergolic nature. Both propellants were clear fluids, with different tanker trucks used for delivering each propellant to a particular Komet aircraft, one at a time, with one truck - usually the one delivering the C-Stoff hydrazine/methanol-base fuel - leaving the immediate area of the aircraft following its delivery and capping off of the Komet's fuel tanks from a rear located dorsal fuselage filling point just ahead of the Komet's vertical stabilizer, before the other truck - most often an Opel Blitz tanker truck, of a special Ausführung S model carrying the veryreactive T-Stoff hydrogen peroxide oxidizer would come anywhere near to deliver its oxidizer load to the fighter for safety reasons, through a different filling point on the Komet's dorsal fuselage surface, located not far behind the rear edge of the canopy. The corrosive nature of the liquids, especially for the T-Stoff oxidizer, required special protective gear for the pilots. To help prevent explosions, the Walter rocket engine and the Komet's propellant storage and delivery systems were frequently and thoroughly hosed down and flushed with water run through both the fuel and oxidizer tanks and rocket engine's propellant systems before and after flights, to clean out any remnants of the hypergolic fuel and oxidizer.

with the Dolphins, Suh had 15.5 sacks. For his career, which includes five years with the Detroit Lions, he has 51.5 sacks.

The Eagles would, of course, have to give him a new deal. However, Suh may accept a one-year contract, which is something Eagles executive vice president of football operations Howie Roseman used to his advantage last year when he signed several players to one-year deals. Running back LeGarrette Blount, wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, cornerback Patrick Robinson and guard Chance Warmack were among them.

Roseman has since given Jeffery a contract extension, and the Eagles are reportedly in negotiations to sign Robinson before free agency begins on Wednesday.

Suh reportedly told Eagles defensive line coach Chris Wilson this past summer when the Eagles and Dolphins held joint practices that hethe Court filed by Senior Circuit Judge
EDWARDS.

     EDWARDS, Senior Circuit Judge: On June 12, 2014,
sixteen-year-old Yaakov Naftali Fraenkel (“Naftali”) and two
of his classmates were taken hostage by members of Hamas
while on their way home from school in Israel’s West Bank. A
half-hour after they were taken hostage, the boys were killed
by their captors. Naftali’s family brought suit in District Court
against the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ministry of Foreign
Affairs (“Iran”), the Iranian Ministry of Information and
Security, and the Syrian Arab Republic (“Syria”) (collectively,
“Appellees”) under the terrorism exception to the Foreign
Sovereign Immunities Act (“FSIA”), 28 U.S.C. § 1605A, for
providing material support to Hamas. The defendants failed to
respond to the complaint and the District Court entered a
default judgment in favor of the Fraenkels, awarding Naftali’s
estate $1 million for


consistent with
the applicable law, adequately reasoned, and supported by the
evidence.

                    I.      BACKGROUND

A. Factual Background

    Yaakov Naftali Fraenkel, a sixteen-year-old with Israeli
and U.S. citizenship, attended boarding school in the Gush
Etzion region of Israel’s West Bank. His mother, father, and
six siblings lived in Nof Ayalon, an Israeli settlement that
straddles the Green Line. On the evening of June 12, 2014,
Naftali headed home from school accompanied by two
classmates, Gilad Shaer and Eyal Yifrach. Thewas later
determined that the terrorists had shot and killed each boy.
After eighteen days of searching, the boys’ bodies were found
on land owned by the head of a Hamas cell. On August 20,
2014, Hamas officially took responsibility for the kidnapping
and murders of Naftali, Gilad, and Eyal.

   On July 9, 2015, the Fraenkels brought this civil action in
District Court, alleging that Iran, the Iranian Ministry of
                               5
Information and Security, and Syria materially supported
Hamas in connection with Naftali’s kidnapping and murder.

    Foreign states are immune from the jurisdiction of federal
courts, subject to certain

lived and was killed. See Leibovitch, 697 F.3d at 565. Only five
months after the original terrorism exception was enacted,

remedies available to victims of state-sponsored terrorism. See

Aikins said CN Rail had to reboot its computer system, but it has now partly regained control of the signalling system on the Lakeshore West and Kitchener corridors.

Michael Mann's new cyber thriller Blackhat opens Friday. The movie starts with a villain hacking a Chinese nuclear facility and the New York Stock Exchange, resulting in death and stock dips. The plot gets complicated from there, but it features Chris Hemsworth as a muscle-bound, MIT-trained hacker who is sprung from the clink by the FBI to help track the bad guy down. Instead of Thor's hammer, he uses digital footprints to go after the bad guy. Last week, a bunch of real-world hacker types got an advance look at the film in San Francisco. It was thanks not to their cracking into Michael Mann's computer, but to a screening Universal Studios organized for Silicon Valley's cybersecurity elite, including security engineers


from Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Twitter, Tesla and Yahoo. Hollywood wanted to know if the film would pass muster with "cybersecurity influencers" — Universal's term for the group — and surprisingly, it did.

"It's the most accurate information security film I've seen," says Parisa Tabriz, Google's security princess. (Yes, that's her actual job title). When Tabriz heard last year that the acclaimed director of Heat and Last of the Mohicans was making a movie about hackers, she wanted an early preview. It turns out she had an in: Her Los Angeles-based brother plays poker with Chris Hemsworth's agent. After a private screening at Michael Mann's office in L.A., Tabriz suggested organizing a larger event for security technologists in San Francisco. Mann and the studio behind the film liked the ideaso much that they booked a 240-seat theater, told Tabriz to invite all her infosec friends, and sent Mann and the film's stars to talk about how they prepared for the film. That including "sitting down with people in DC to talk about cyber security," bringing on Wired’s Kevin Poulsen and OkCupid hacker Chris McKinlay as consultants, and "hanging out with black hat hackers."

Hemsworth also revealed that he had to do "months of computer training," which involved learning how not to type using just his index fingers. The Australian actor said the biggest security takeaway he got from the experience was the importance of data minimization — "not keeping photos and emails and stuff."

Tabriz was worried that the attendees would tear the film apart during the panel. "These


simplified but accurate," said Tabriz. She contrasted that with movies that gloss over how hackers break into systems with 3D renderings of Matrixian digital magic working or present completely unrealistic scenarios, such as Hugh Jackman in Swordfish cracking a password in 30 seconds with a gun at his head. "It's not that easy," said Tabriz.

However, there were a few points in the film that elicited giggles from the crowd, usually for extremely geeky mistakes. "Overall, it was super accurate about ways of attacking a network," said one tech company's head of security. "It was just where the rubber hit the road that they made mistakes. People laughed because there were text comments in the binary code."

The film is well-timed for tapping into our escalating fears about the threatsof a connected world. Mann said he was inspired to do the film a few years ago by Stuxnet, the weaponized malware that was designed to destroy nuclear centrifuges in Iran. While it gets the technology right, it runs into problems with plot realism. There are far more gun and knife fights than most information security technologists usually encounter and the movie would have you believe that the FBI would be willing to partner up with the digital unit of the People's Liberation Army, a.k.a. the kind of Chinese military hackers that the FBI recently put on their most-wanted list.

More than that, it's hard for a film like this to compete with current events. Hollywood's grappling with the precarious nature of online security has been on our screens

Fun Facts About Jelly Belly

Very Cherry remained the most popular flavor of Jelly Belly beans for two decades until 1998, when Buttered Popcorn moved into first place. In 2003 Very Cherry moved back into top position by a mere 8 million beans.

Blueberry flavor was created for Ronald Reagan's presidential inauguration in 1981 when over three tons of Jelly Belly beans were consumed during the festivities.

A portrait of President Ronald Reagan made from 10,000 Jelly Belly beans hangs in the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif.

During the presidency of Ronald Reagan, Jelly Belly beans were served in the Oval Office and on Air Force One. A holder was designed for the plane so the jar of Jelly Belly beans would not spill during turbulence.

It takes 7 to14 days to make a single Jelly Belly jelly bean.

The first jelly bean was created by an unknown American candy maker in the 1800s. An 1861 advertisement recommended sending jelly beans to soldiers fighting in the Civil War.

Enough Jelly Belly beans were eaten in the last year to circle the earth more than five times.

The original eight flavors of Jelly Belly beans introduced in 1976 were Very Cherry, Root Beer, Cream Soda, Tangerine, Green Apple, Lemon, Licorice and Grape.

Jelly Belly beans were the first jelly beans in outer space when President Reagan sent them on the 1983 flight of the space shuttle Challenger

Old Dominion Monarchs Season Preview

The Monarchs won each of their final three games in 2014 on the final play to finish their first season at the FBS level with at 6-6 record.

Running back Ray Lawry earned C-USA Freshman of the Year honors after rushing for an ODU single-season record 947 yards and 16 touchdowns. He led all league freshman backs with a school-record 7.1 yards per carry and tied for third in C-USA with 16 rushing TDs.

Quarterback Taylor Heinicke is gone after a spectacular four-year career in which he passed for 14,959 yards and tossed 132 touchdown passes. Two players are in the running to replace the record-setting signal-caller. Shuler Bentley redshirted in 2014 sitting after a standout career at Byrnes High School in SouthCarolina. A USA Today Parade All-American and two-time South Carolina Gatorade Player of the Year, Bentley has a year of fall practice and off-season training under his belt. Sophomore Joey Verhaegh comes in from Fullerton CC after throwing for 2,515 yards and 18 touchdowns as a sophomore. Verhaegh and Bentley will compete in the first ODU quarterback competition in spring football since Thomas DeMarco won the job in 2009.

Senior David Washington was Heinicke’s backup in 2013 and 2014, but added another role in 2014: starting wide receiver. The redshirt junior caught 47 passes for 599 yards and four touchdowns and the game-winning touchdown in the overtime thriller against Louisiana Tech. The plan is for Washington to stay at wide receiver but take some snaps at quarterback.


Kevin Przytula's proposal to his girlfriend, Allyssa Anter, was seemingly perfect.

The couple was with family, celebrating the moment in front of Bay City, Michigan's Ring of Friendship sculpture, when Przytula got down on one knee to ask the big question.

With his 11-year-old daughter, Kayleigh, filming, Przytula takes out the ring — to which Anter asks what he's doing — when her son, 3-year-old Owen, decides, "I'm gonna pee outside."

Owen then pulls down his pants and urinates on the sidewalk and Przytula professes his love to his girlfriend. Kayleigh quickly realizes what the 3-year-old's doing and begins to laugh, all while the happily engaged couple is oblivious to Owen upstaging their big moment.

In Which Little TF Rides a Giant Ferris Wheel.

Japan's got a thing for really, really big Ferris Wheels. One of my first Japan memories is of zipping (wait, we were stuck in traffic. Make that inching.) past Yokohama towards our new home, and seeing a massive Ferris Wheel glowing from across the bay. "Wow, that is the biggest Ferris Wheel I've ever seen," I managed to mumble, before falling back into my jet-lagged haze.

The Yokohama Ferris Wheel, officially known as the Cosmo Clock 21, displays the world's largest clock. At 369 ft, it was also the world's biggest Ferris Wheel until it was dethroned by Osaka's Tempozan Ferris Wheel (so says Wikipedia). Kasai Rinkai Park, in Tokyo, boasts another massive Ferris Wheel; known, because of


If you were a member of the European royalty or nobility in the early modern period, and you were strapped for cash, chances are you’d ask your Court Jew for a loan.

The Court Jew—a position of strange esteem dating as far back as the 12th century and spanning nearly all of the Middle Ages—was a banker who reliably lent money to European higher-ups. Typically, they were Jews of means who had made their money peddling, or organizing other peddlers, and who were, as Jews, exempt from the Christian sin of usury. It was this exemption which gave these Jews entrée into the world of privilege—though it is not, contrary to popular belief, how Jews got their start in world of money-lending.

And what a world of privilege it was.WHO standards," the study says.The AQLI arrives at the conclusions by translating the particulate concentrations into their impact on lifespans, "unlike previous studies that tend to rely on data tracking people's exposure over a short time period"."It suggests that particulates are the greatest current environmental risk to human health, with the impact on life expectancy in many parts of the world similar to the effects of every man, woman and child smoking cigarettes for several decades," Michael Greenstone , Director of EPIC said.Delhi has consistently ranked high among the list of most polluted cities in the world.

The invention relates to a golf club and more specifically to a golf club having a shaft whose longitudinal axis passes through the center of gravity of the golf club head.
The basic design of a golf club such as an iron or a wood has been historically designed with the center of gravity of the golf head located at a point somewhere between 2 to 3 inches from the longitudinal axis of the golf club shaft. One of the inherent problems of this design is the fact that a person swinging the club is not allowed to benefit from his natural hand/eye coordination because the axis upon which his hands are holding the golf club are laterally offset from the center of gravity of the golf club headloss of power from the swing of the golfer that translates into the ball going a shorter distance than its effective potential and off target to the degree that the club shifts on the perpendicular relative to the direction of the force and the intended flight of the ball.
It is an object of the invention to provide a novel golf club whose shaft has its longitudinal axis traveling down through the center of gravity of the golf club head.
It is also an object of the invention to provide a novel golf club that maximizes the amount of power that can be transmitted from the swing of the golfers arms to the center of gravity of the golf club head.

Cleveland lost Matthew Dellavedova (free agency) and Mo Williams (retirement) this summer and have nobody else to turn to. They have plenty of playmaking between the likes of Irving and LeBron James, but they need someone who can soak up minutes so that their stars aren't over-extended during the arduous regular season.

To that end, Cleveland may still look to address their point guard woes in free agency. The team is said to be interested in free agent guard Mario Chalmers, but he's still recovering from a torn Achilles.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to athletic practice devices and, more particularly, is concerned with a holder for practicing football place-kicking without the assistance of another person.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Over the past several decades, accurate place-kicking capability for scoring field goals as well as extra points has become an indispensable weapon in the arsenal of the modern football team. The place-kick is typically performed with a player called a holder assisting the kicker by teeing up the football in a stationary upright position with its one tip end resting on the playing surface or a flat kicking plate commonly referred to as a tee. The ball is hiked from the center to the holder who transfers it to the teed up positionjust a second or so before the kicker's foot engages the ball. The holder normally steadies the ball in the desired upright position by placing his index finger on the upper tip end of the ball and applying a slight pressure downwardly on the ball.
High proficiency in accurate place-kicking is attained by hours and hours of practice out of season as well as during season. To most nearly simulate actual game conditions, the participation of a center and holder, or at least a holder, would be required at practice sessions. However, it is impractical, except possibly at the professional level, to dedicate the services of one player solely to serving as the practice holder for the place-kicker. Thus, during the past several decades, a variety of mechanical practice

Trayce sought a different path, one that brought him to Dodgers camp this spring. He thrived in a childhood of endless competition. He weathered the travails of minor league life to debut in the major leagues last season at 24. Acquired this winter, he adds athleticism and possibility to the team’s outfield hoard.

His arm and grace in the outfield make him a valuable defender. He made an intriguing cameo with an .896 on-base plus slugging percentage for the Chicago White Sox last summer. While scouts worry his propensity for strikeouts will confine him to a reserve role, his new team has not ruled out the chance for something more.

“He has a lot of really interesting components to his game,”said Andrew Friedman, the Dodgers’ president of baseball operations. “And we started to see it sync up last year.”

The Dodgers employ a glut of outfielders, and Trayce Thompson will be punished for his rookie status. Because he has minor league options, he will almost certainly begin the season with triple-A Oklahoma City. The team still expects him to contribute this season, and when he does, he’ll continue the Los Angeles sports lineage his father started three decades ago.

Growing up in the Bahamas, Mychal Thompson fell for the Dodgers. He learned the history of the club, the glories of Sandy Koufax and Maury Wills and Willie Davis, while memorizing batting averages and lineups. But his height carried him to the hardwood. He joined the Lakers in 1987 midway through


his eighth season in the NBA.

That same year, Mychal married Julie Leslie, a former volleyball player at the University of San Francisco. The trio of boys soon followed: Mychel in 1988, Klay in 1990 and Trayce in 1991. They settled in a suburb of Portland, where Mychal had started his career.

Mychal became a broadcaster as they raised the family. Early on, he sensed Trayce’s attraction to baseball. He watched Trayce clamber into the house after football games, grab a bat and practice his swing while still wearing shoulder pads.

During the summer, the Thompsons would gather the other kids in the neighborhood for whiffle ball games on their front lawn. Mychal acted as the designated pitcher and umpire. The boys carped about his calls, but Mychal implored them tocoach.

Jondle had coached a pair of future big leaguers, Evan Longoria and Bud Smith, at Bellflower St. John Bosco High. In Trayce, he told the parents, he saw a quality major-college player. “After that,” he told them, “the sky’s the limit.”

Trayce quit the basketball team as a senior to concentrate on baseball. His athleticism had always carried him on defense, but now his swing acquired polish. Scouts credited him for assembling his best at-bats against the highest competition.

The package of promise and poise convinced the White Sox to choose Trayce in the second round of the 2009 draft. His trek to the majors lasted seven years as he grappled with the consequences of failure.

Trayce connected with White Sox executive Buddy Bell. Bell grew up the son of a

a huge question mark over his match-fitness heading into the European Championships.

Terry would have just one England game left in which to prove his readiness before the squad is announced on May 29.

The Three Lions face Norway in Oslo just three days beforehand and if Terry does not play he has virtually no chance of being selected.

England kick off their campaign against France in their opening Group D game in Donetsk on June 15.

Terry first injured his right knee after colliding with a post in Chelsea’s FA Cup win over Portsmouth on January 8.

He then played through the pain barrier for three weeks and was hoping to return against Napoli after four games out.

Terry travelled to Italy and even trained with his team-mates on Monday night, but wokethe decision of ProSieben, despite wanting a “different approach” to the issue.

Germany has been a slow starter in the esports scene, despite one of the biggest companies in the industry, ESL, being headquartered in the European country. Many non-endemics are wary of esports, and brand games like CS:GO as “killerspiel,” a derogatory term of overly violent games.

On an ELEAGUE media conference call today, Richard Lewis spoke about the decision, calling the previous week’s events a tragedy and stating that the entire production team understands the decision. But he did say that Germany has strange rules and regulations regarding video games, and hoped that this decision would spur discussions for the future of the industry.

Man sent to prison for a year for making ‘sick’ images of children

A 29-year-old man convicted of making and possessing indecent images of children has been jailed for 12 months.

Christopher Randall, of Middlewich Road, Winsford, was also banned from working with children for life and put on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years by Judge Roger Dutton at Chester Crown Court.

Randall was found cowering in a wardrobe when police raided his house earlier this year. He was subsequently charged with 15 counts of making indecent images of kids and possessing more than 3,700 sick pictures.

He initially denied the offences but pleaded guilty to all charges on November 19, the day his trial was due to get under way.

A Historical Report on Preparing Sustained Release Dosage Forms for Addicts in Medieval Persia, 16th Century AD.
For several centuries, opium addiction has been a social problem all over the world. It has been prevalent in Iran from the Safavid era (1501-1736 A.D). During this period, Hakim Imad al-Din Mahmud ibn-Mas'ud Shirazi (1515-1592 A.D), also known as Imad was one of the Persian physicians who wrote one of the earliest books in the field of opium and addiction (called Afiounieh) in history. In this book, he introduced two sustained release rectal (suppository) and oral (pill) dosage forms for Muslim addicts who fast in the month of Ramadan. He aimed to formulate them for these people so that they could keep fasting by using the slow release drugs.

Brief Synopsis

After a night of gangster terrorism in a large metropolitan city, the police haul in some of the perpetrators. The Evening Gazette runs the headline that financier Roger Renfrew will head the City Reform League in a fight to clean up city politics. The article states that a reign of unchecked gangster terrorism has shaken the city administration to its foundations and caused the resignation of the chief of police. The Gazette editor, Madison, claims he played no small part in getting Renfrew appointed. Madison is actually being controlled by crime boss Brad Franklin, who also gives orders to the timid Renfrew. With Renfrew in office, Franklin is confident that the city is now completely in his control, and he doles out gambling, slot machineand lottery rackets to his henchmen. Madison and Franklin are conspiring to eliminate The Daily Press , the Gazette 's rival newspaper, which is run by honest newsman John Parker. The Press missed the Renfrew story because Franklin's men had threatened spineless city editor Stanley, and he had taken fearless, animated cub reporter Dick Laurence off the city hall beat. When Parker reads the Gazette 's story, he is outraged, and chastises Stanley, who blames Dick. After Dick returns to the newsroom with fake handcuffs and a water pistol and uses them on Stanley, he is fired. When Parker asks Dick why he did not cover the story, he tells him that racketeers are running the reform league and Madison is in league with them. Anxious to prove


that the press cannot be manipulated, Parker assigns Dick the reform league story and promises him a raise and a bonus if he succeeds. Dick eagerly promises to get Renfrew's resignation. Stanley calls Renfrew to clear himself from any association with the Press 's reporting. Dick's girl friend, May, who also works for the Press , listens to Stanley's call from an adjoining phone booth and upbraids him for being a coward. When Dick visits Renfrew's office, two of Franklin's men accost him, but he bests them, handcuffs them with his fake cuffs, and takes their photograph. May has followed with a policeman, and when Renfrew denies any connection with the hoods, they announce that Franklin is behind him. Fearing retaliation from Franklin for failing to back hismen, Renfrew calls Madison, who advises him to meet Franklin's henchman, Edwards, who will lead Renfrew to Franklin's secret apartment. Dick listens in on the telephone conversation and tails Renfrew by jumping through the window into a truck, and taking the place of Frank, Renfrew's chauffeur. After driving Renfrew and Edwards to Franklin's apartment, Dick tricks the porter into divulging the secret number of Franklin's room. As Franklin introduces the timid Renfrew to the girls at his gin party, Dick tells a woman in the apartment above Franklin's that he is a telephone repairman and sneaks out on a ledge to take photographs of the illicit gathering. Renfrew notices the reporter at the window, but Edwards and his men fail to capture Dick. Returning to the newsroom, Dick


develops a photograph of Franklin and Renfrew seated on a coach with two women and shows them to Parker. Parker recognizes Franklin as Chuck Ballard, Public Enemy #2. Edwards and his hoods hold up the office and take the photo and negatives, unaware that Dick had already made extra prints. Swinging out the window by a rope, Dick jumps onto the back of the gangster's car as it pulls away. At Franklin's headquarters, Dick is captured, but he escapes when they bind him with his own trick handcuffs. Renfrew receives a copy of the photo from Dick, who has demanded his resignation to prevent its publication, and he telephones to concede. Stanley takes the call and goes to Renfrew's office, hoping to upstage Dick. Renfrew announces his resignationto Madison, who calls Franklin, and as Renfrew writes out his resignation for Stanley, all convene at Renfrew's office. By having his men ruffle Stanley, Franklin hopes to intimidate Renfrew into not resigning. Dick, who has imprisoned two of the gangsters in the back of a van, arrives and knocks out Franklin's chauffeur. He then enters the office and pulls a gun on the group, ordering Stanley to disarm them. When he shows the group the photograph, Madison and Renfrew are astonished to learn that they have been cooperating with Chuck Ballard. Dick telephones Parker with the scoop that he has captured Ballard, and Parker hands the phone to May for dictation. Assured of a bonus from Parker, Dick asks May to get a marriage license with him


"Tony Acevedo asked Make A Wish [sic] Foundation if he could meet Deadpool," Reynolds wrote on Instagram. "I wasn't expecting him to sneak the mask, put on the gloves, smile ... and then beat Deadpool about the face, arms and jugular with blazing speed. Tony's next fight is with Hodgkin's Disease. Hodgkin's Disease best be wearing its brown pants. Huge thanks to @makeawishamerica."

Tony told his volunteers he had a few reasons for wanting to meet Deadpool.

"Deadpool never dies and everything he touches has magical powers," Tony told the Make-a-Wish volunteers, according to a rep for the organization.

Reynolds has posted plenty of teases about the film on social media, but this one definitely tops the heartwarming category.

Deadpool will be released Feb. 2016.

When a little boy reportedly fell off the deck of a house in Lincoln County in July 2009 and hit his head, his mother and her boyfriend were drunk, according to a report by a state child-protection worker.

When a little boy reportedly fell off the deck of a house in Lincoln County in July 2009 and hit his head, his mother and her boyfriend were drunk, according to a report by a state child-protection worker.

There was no food in the filthy house, but there were pill bottles, beer cans and needles lying around, and blood on the child's bed.

The mother, who allegedly had tested positive for painkillers and cocaine in late 2004 and March 2005, went missing for three days while the


boy lay gravely injured with a fractured skull.

When caseworkers found her, she was drunk and apparently lied about where she was when her son was hurt, the report said.

The boy died July 31, 2009. An autopsy showed he had bruises and bite marks that happened before his fatal injury.

"It was apparent that the child had been abused over a long period of time," the report concluded.

The case points to a troubling reality: When children are abused or neglected in Kentucky, substance abuse often plays a role.

A Lexington Herald-Leader review of files released this week on children killed or nearly killed because of abuse or neglect over a two-year period found that more than half mentioned suspected or confirmed substance abuse by parents or caregivers.

Exploring the role of Micronesian islands in the maintenance of coral genetic diversity in the Pacific Ocean.
Understanding how genetic diversity is maintained across patchy marine environments remains a fundamental problem in marine biology. The Coral Triangle, located in the Indo-West Pacific, is the centre of marine biodiversity and has been proposed as an important source of genetic diversity for remote Pacific reefs. Several studies highlight Micronesia, a scattering of hundreds of small islands situated within the North Equatorial Counter Current, as a potentially important migration corridor. To test this hypothesis, we characterized the population genetic structure of two ecologically important congeneric species of reef-building corals across greater Micronesia, from Palau to the Marshall Islands. Genetic divergences between islands followed an isolation-by-distance pattern, with Acropora hyacinthus exhibiting greater geneticGülen movement in a sinister plot to take over the MHP. In short, Bahçeli has also become dependent on the paranoid logic which the AKP has used to tarnish all its opponents as Gülenist conspirators. As a result, if Bahceli remains at the helm of the MHP, he will be increasingly under Erdoğan’s sway. If he is ousted, though, the split within the party could be a serious one, with many parliamentarians and voters available for the AKP to poach.

Right-Wingers Want Muslim Cop in Broward Fired

Nezar Hamze is a deputy with the Broward Sheriff's Office. When he Googles himself, the top result is a post from a right-wing blog called FrontPage Magazine, which accuses Hamze, who is Muslim, of being a sleeper-cell terrorist, hell-bent on destroying the sheriff’s department from the inside.

“By employing Nezar Hamze, Sheriff Scott Israel has compromised not only the Broward Sheriff’s office, but the security of the entire county and by extension U.S. national security,” the post reads.

Hamze worked as an activist fighting Islamophobia with the Council of American and Islamic Relations (CAIR) for seven years before being hired by the Broward Sheriff's Office in 2014. He currently maintains a full-time position with the nonprofit group in addition to his sheriff's office duties.

In 2008, Hamze was working as an operations manager for the used car retailer CarMax when a friend showed him a video called "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West," which a right-wing group had paid to distribute as an insert along with Sunday newspapers (including the Palm Beach Post and Sun-Sentinel). After his wife watched the video and became so offended she cried, Hamze felt inspired to join Florida’s chapter of the CAIR, hoping to improve communication between Muslims and the rest of the nation.

He went on to serve as the


was not hired. Hamze does not dispute this. Personnel records show that he applied in both 2009 and 2012, withdrew his application the first time, and was not selected to become a deputy the second. He officially joined the force in August 2014.

Hamze says department policy prohibits him from speaking, specifically, about his role with the department. He maintains a lesser, but still salaried role, as CAIR Florida’s Regional Operations Director. Records show he was making $62,000 in that position in 2014.

Bloggers and online commenters have complained that Hamze splits his time between the two organizations and suggested it could present a conflict of interest.

"I think a big reason Muslims are getting so much backlash recently is because, when my father moved here, his generation did all it could to keep its head down and blend in," he said, leaning over his kitchen table. "My generation grew up and was like, 'Well, screw that, right?' When my dad came here, he arrived in New York totally alone, without a home or family, and just sat down on a bench looking for people who


looked like him, hoping he could have a conversation with someone. What my Dad went through, that was hard. The stuff I go through? It's not all that bad."

Minutes later, one of Hamze's college-aged daughters walked downstairs, dressed in a hijab and bright orange Miami Hurricanes sweater. Controversy about her dad, she said, is nothing new. "It's just entertaining at this point."

Brennan expressed strong opposition to Congress's override of a bill permitting American victims of the 9/11 terror attacks to sue Saudi Arabia for its alleged involvement in the plot.

However, the bill—known as the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, or JASTA—will also provide similar legal recourse to foreign nations, meaning that they could detain top U.S. officials, military leaders, and others.

Leading U.S. officials, including Brennan and Defense Secretary Ash Carter, have warned that the consequences of the bill would enable foreign nations to meddle in U.S.


The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the joint of the jaw, is a complex joint that must allow for both rotational and translational (sliding) movement. The muscles and joints of the face are thought to be involved in the pathologies of conditions of not just the head and neck, but of the entire body. It has long been considered that tension and improper alignment of the muscles and joints of the face can lead to tension in other parts of the body. As such, oral orthotics and mouthpieces have been developed to try and reduce tension in the facial muscles and joints.
A number of nerves and blood vessels which communicate between the brain and the rest of the body pass through the jaw area near the TMJ.
