revolves around H'El's time altering causing the end of the universe.
I'll post the DC Comics Database synopsis here if you're interested:

Superman has been pulled into outer space by an unknown force. There, he meets up with Superboy and Supergirl. The three meet the Oracle, who explains them that H'El, who survived their earlier encounter, has managed to bring Krypton back to life. However, H'El also altered the timeline and they must stop him from destroying the universe. With the help of Faora, the Oracle's servant, the three heroes travel to different points of Krypton's history to stop H'El's plans. Superman travels to Kryptonopolis a few months before Krypton's destruction, where he meets his mother Lara.
At first, Lara confuses Superman for an intruder and attacks him but stops afterseeing the symbol of El in his armor. She also detects yellow sun radiation in his body and says he should wait for Jor-El. Superman watches Lara tell Jor-El that she is pregnant, but then his armor changes back to its usual colors. In that moment, Superman confronts a mysterious person who is aware about his travel in time.
This stranger is in fact Jor-El, who came from one of the alternate futures created by H'El. Realizing he was the one who created H'El, Jor-El has come to the past to stop H'El from conquering Krypton. Superman and Jor-El travel to Krypton's core and fight H'El. At first, Jor-El wants to kill H'El but Superman instead uses H'El's own chronal powers against him and freezes him with his super-breath,


them to shame. Just after the hour a straight pass, lofted from inside the centre circle by Eric Dier, bypassed the hosts’ backline and the midfielder, darting into a hint of space between Andreas Christensen and César Azpilicueta, controlled wonderfully with his first touch and finished emphatically with his second.

It was a flash of brilliance to encapsulate the midfielder’s qualities, and a reminder of his capabilities after a difficult week with the national team. He celebrated it with gusto, cupping his ears to the Shed End as the abuse rained down – and he had more pain still to inflict. Four minutes later Eriksen’s cute flick sent Son Heung‑min sprinting beyond Marcos Alonso down the right. Willy Caballero smothered the South Korean’s attempt, but the ball was neverproperly cleared in the confusion which ensued. The goalkeeper and Christensen were unable to repel it from the goal mouth as Son attempted to hack it home, with Alli – a calm head amid the mayhem – eventually squeezing out enough space to prod away his shot from close range.

He has now been involved directly in 60 goals over his century of Premier League games. “People will still be disappointed with the way I played,” he said, “but I don’t think I had a point a point to prove. I just had to get in the starting XI and help the team.” In the end, Harry Kane was required for just the last 17 minutes, and his return from an ankle injury with the game already won almost


felt like Pochettino taking his chance to rub Chelsea’s noses in it.

This had all been achieved as he sat with his feet up on the bench. That said much. Antonio Conte had kicked over a cage of drink bottles in his exasperation at the sloppiness at that concession, bemoaning the inability of inexperienced players to “shoot the ball into the stand”. This defeat will have scarred the Italian. That chasm to Spurs feels unbridgeable, and success in the FA Cup alone would appease neither the head coach nor the board. A slog of a season is heading towards a painful denouement. The divorce is imminent. Conte had actually spied promise in his team’s incision on the counterattack early on, and had seen them bask briefly in a leadwhen Hugo Lloris missed a punch at Victor Moses’s cross and Álvaro Morata guided a header easily into a gaping net.

Had they retained that advantage at the interval then they might have prospered further on the break as anxiety mounted in opposition ranks. Yet sloppiness, not for the first time in recent weeks, ended up costing them in stoppage time at the end of the period, Moses surrendering possession weakly and deep inside Chelsea territory with the ball shifted to Eriksen, alone in a pocket of space around 25 yards out with N’Golo Kanté reluctant to engage. The Dane collected, sized up his options and belted a right-foot shot which Caballero initially thought would soar over his goal, only for the ball to dip viciously, kiss the underside

Federal judicial service

Green was nominated by President Calvin Coolidge on February 20, 1928, to a seat on the Court of Claims (later the United States Court of Claims) vacated by Judge James Hay. He was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 12, 1928, and received his commission the same day. He assumed senior status on May 29, 1940. He assumed inactive senior status after June 1942, meaning that while he remained a federal judge, he no longer heard cases or participated in the business of the court. His service terminated on June 11, 1947, due to his death in Bellport, New York, where he had resided since taking inactive senior status. He was interred in Rock Creek Cemetery in Washington, D.C.

Further samples were collected the following season for dating the formation of the major landforms, especially the moraines and lake levels in the Miers Valley. The Marshall Valley was visited and a massive gypsum vein was sampled and dated. The Walcott Bay was surveyed but no carbonate was found and the shoreline of Mt Discovery was surveyed for carbonates.


The Sun erupted with a large solar flare in the direction of Earth early Friday morning, causing potential disruption to radio signals in the coming days and serving as a prelude to a period of heavy solar activity.

The mid-level flare, classified as an M6.5 solar flare, "was associated with an Earth-direction coronal mass ejection (CME), a solar phenomenon that can send billions of tons of solar particles into space and can reach our planet days later," according to Science World Report. While X-class solar flares are 10 times more powerful than Friday's eruption, the radiation burst was the largest on record in 2013 and "caused an R2 radio blackout that has since subsided," the site reported.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration classifies radio blackouts caused by space weatheron a scale from R1 to R5, with R5 being the strongest.

Scientists expect more such solar flares this year, because the Sun's 11-year activity cycle is approaching its peak, expected to arrive in the closing months of 2013, Science World Report noted.

Friday's flare occurred at about 3:16 a.m. Eastern while the CME began at 3:36 a.m., "leaving the sun at over 600 miles per second," according to NASA. The space agency published a series of photos of the CME captured by the joint European Space Agency-NASA Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), below right.

Images captured by the ESA-NASA SOHO satellite show Friday's solar flare.

When solar flares erupt, they do not always cause CMEs but this one did, slinging one out of the Sun at more than 600 miles per second,

Hereinafter, with a view to achieving adequate clarity of disclosure in the description, the useful internal volume of the cylinder is defined to be the same as the volume occupied by liquid plus the volume occupied by the volumetric compensation means housed in the cylinder, as measured under the original manufacturing conditions, i.e. with the piston, other mechanical members and a particular portion of the rod housed in the cylinder, at the temperature of manufacture.
In the hydraulic self-regulating devices such as the one described above, the useful internal volume of the cylinder does notincluded in the hydraulic self-regulating devices as described above absorb the variations of volume and, consequently, the variations in the pressure exerted by the liquid on the inside of the cylinder which affect both the cylinder and the liquid contained therein while the device is operating or even during the storage of the device prior to its assembly. In fact, at a constant temperature, a shortening of the length of the rod portion housed in the cylinder generates a depression causing a corresponding increase in the volume occupied by the volumetric compensation means, i.e., there is an increase in the useful internal volume while, on the contrary, an increase of the length of the rod portion causes a corresponding reduction of the volume occupied by the volumetric compensation


imagine Elton outside the context of the live show. Encouraged by the gaudy excesses of glam rock, the once shy and introverted young singer-songwriter suddenly transformed into the most flamboyant of Seventies performers, indulging a series of ridiculous costumed personae which jeopardised not just his image – most notably with the unflattering Donald Duck outfit – but in some cases his actual physical wellbeing. One recalls, for instance, the birthday party for which he donned a vast wig and millinery monstrosity in the shape of a Spanish galleon, the sheer weight of which, he later revealed, tested his neck muscles almost to breaking point.

Therenot the first time Elton’s quit the stage. In 1977, perhaps disconcerted by the punk revolution, he announced he was retiring from performance. Back then, he was in a bad place generally: bulimic and addicted to cocaine, he also stopped writing songs with Bernie Taupin, and it was not until the pair reunited, and Elton built bridges with his abandoned band, that his fortunes began to get back on track.

It’s important not to underestimate the part played by his long-serving band in Elton’s success. Flexible enough to accommodate the wide range of moods and styles involved in his vast back-catalogue, they provided the secure foundation, the unassuming plinth upon which his energies could be most effectively displayed. And during his peak Seventies heyday, he delivered hugely energetic performances.


Like fellow piano rockers Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, Elton bristled at the physical constraints of his chosen instrument, compared to more mobile guitars and saxophones, and adopted extreme antics to compensate. Rare was the show at which he didn’t clamber atop the piano, or prance about the stage, gurning for the cameras from behind truly spectacular spectacles.

Military chic was the hallmark for his British tour in 1982 (PA)

Not that any eyes had for a moment focused on anything other than Elton, from the moment he set foot on the stage. Before he appeared, there would be feverish anticipation about what outrageous costume gambit he would try; and few knew how to ride that initial revelation like Elton, sweeping the audience into the euphoric surge of aMission Statement

•A fourth Metts bill would remove from public view the record of a “deferred sentence,” in which someone who has pleaded no contest to a crime is spared jail as long as he or she stays out of further trouble for five years.

•And at the request of court administrators, the House and Senate Judiciary chairmen David Caprio and Michael McCaffrey are seeking to seal  rather than destroy, as currently required  the records of certain domestic violence and underage drinking cases.

Attorney General Lynch has objected strenuously to most of these bills in letters to the lawmakers. In a turnaround this year, he supported the much earlier expungement of the records of people who pleaded no contest, mostly to felonies, in exchangefor five-year deferred sentences. As long as they stayed out of trouble, their records would be automatically sealed at the end of that five-year deferral period.

Such had been the case until the Supreme Court in 2007 ruled that the state judges and prosecutors had misinterpreted the law. Since that time, a Lynch spokesman said “defendants have been less willing to enter into deferred sentence agreements with us. This is unfortunate.” But Lynch still opposes cutting in half the waiting period to expunge the record of other felonies, saying that would make it more difficult for police to protect the public against criminals. He said “the integrity of our criminal history records is critical,” especially to employers who “have the right to be aware of the history” of job

In February, she was credited for her “outstanding work with women prostitutes” in the citation that went along with a Justice Award the attorney general gave Project RENEW. And now it appears hers may be a test case on the reach of the General Assembly’s 2009 effort to let prostitutes cleanse their records.

Prof. Andrew Horvitz, the head of the Roger Williams legal defense clinic, said he believes the new law allows the expungement of any number of convictions for the crime known as loitering for indecent purposes, and after reviewing Delgado’s record, she qualifies. A longtime advocate of more opportunities to expunge records, Horvitz said he is especially adamant about providing those opportunities to former prostitutes, whom he views as victims, not criminals.Global Economics

Social Networking Soars in Britain

Communications regulator Ofcom reports 4 out of 10 Britons regularly visited social networking sites in 2006, the most in Europe

UK web users are the keenest advocates of social networking in Europe, spending more time on them than anyone else across the continent.

Four out of 10 adults in the UK regularly visited social networking sites during 2006 -- more than anywhere else in Europe -- according to Ofcom's latest International Communications Market report.

Last year, users spent on average 5.3 hours per month on the sites and returned to them 23 times during each month.

As a result, companies spent more on web advertising per person in the UK than anywhere else, shelling out an average of £33 per person -- twice as much as France,


Germany and Italy combined.

Ofcom's report also looks at the global television, radio and telecoms markets during 2006, comparing the UK to 11 other countries.

The UK led the way in a number of other areas, with slightly more than half of all UK households having a broadband connection by the end of 2006 -- edging ahead of the US.

The UK also had the highest uptake of digital TV of the 12 countries, with 76 per cent of households now having digital. The closest rival was the US with 61 per cent.

UK consumers also get a pretty good deal on these services, with 40 per cent of UK households buying triple-play bundles costing an average of £25 per month. In Germany a typical household paid £39.77 last year for theTag Archives: Oman Gas Jobs

The Divine Bohemian and The Beloved of God

A recent article in The New York Times provides an appreciation of the sort of composer who makes a regular appearance in The Mozart Café (weekdays at Noon here on WDAV).
The composer in this case is the 18th century Czech composer Josef Mysliveček, known as Il divino boémo (“The Divine Bohemian”) because of the sublime beauty of his music. His admirers included no less a figure than Mozart himself, whose own name, Amadeus, means “beloved of God” (which might have qualified him to know a thing or two about the divine).
Composers such as Mysliviček, Wagenseil, Vanhal and Cannabich are hardly household names, nor are their Baroque counterparts such as Veracini, Tartini, Fasch and Quantz. Occasionally when WDAV plays their music, someoneWith the start of the second week of operations aimed at liberating the northern Iraqi city of Mosul from Daesh, Iraq’s top anti-terror commander says military forces have started targeting the terror outfit’s positions inside the city with artillery fire.

Abdul-Ghani Asadi, the commander of the Iraqi army’s anti-terrorism contingent, made the announcement on Monday.

Iraqi forces have, meanwhile, liberated more than 70 percent of the territory lying to the south of the Daesh-held northern city of Mosul, and are weeding out explosives planted by the terrorist group on their way to the city proper.

An anti-terror personnel member enlisted with the Iraqi military holds up a child after the forces succeed in liberating a village, located to the south of the northern Iraq city of Mosul, from Daesh, October 24,


2016.

On Tuesday, the joint military and volunteer forces liberated three more villages, located to the city’s south, from Daesh, the country’s war news media reported, with Tweeter pictures showing children rejoicing after the areas’ liberation.

Assisting the liberation operations, Turkish Peshmerga fighters also retook three more villages, namely Khoursabad in the Narwan region, Batnaya in the Tel Kaif district, and Assaf, all located around Mosul.

Security forces also took back a gas plant in Tal Kaif and entirely liberated the heart of the district.

Mosul-based Daesh militants have, meanwhile, filled up trenches with oil and set them on fire in order to block the overflying aircraft’s field of vision. In one incident, they threw nine of their defectors in one of the burning trenches in Mosul’s al-Arabi neighborhood, killing them.

Footage alsoshowed a military Abrams tank ripping through a bomb-laced Daesh vehicle, which had been left at one entrance to the city to block the forces’ advance.

Overwhelmed by casualties, the Takfiris threw 40 bedridden patients, most of them elderly, out of the Mosul General Hospital, filling its aisles and emergency ward with their own wounded members, Iraq’s al-Sumaria TV network reported.

Locals, meanwhile, said the bodies of most of the victims of the city’s clashes had been taken to the al-Qabat district, situated in the city’s east.

On Monday, Iraqi forces were engaged in a push toward the center of the strategically-important al-Hamdaniya district in the northeast of Iraq’s Nineveh Province, of which Mosul is the capital, as part of the larger-scale push to retake Mosul.

Large numbers of the terrorists are,


meanwhile, reported to have fled Mosul as the group is said to have lost the power to confront the advancing Iraqi forces.

The Takfiri terror group has declared the city its so-called headquarters in Iraq. The city has been under Daesh control since 2014, when the terror outfit started ravaging the country.

Also on Tuesday, a Kurdish journalist captured footage of a jet fighter destroying a Daesh car bomb north of Mosul as it was heading toward the Peshmerga forces in Nawaran.

Reports of horror emerging

The UN human rights office said it had preliminary reports about scores of mass killings by Daesh around Mosul in the past week.

UN human rights spokesman Rupert Colville told a regular UN briefing in Geneva that the bodies of 70 civilians with bullet wounds had beendiscovered by Iraqi security forces in the Tuloul Naser Village on October 20, and 50 former police officers being held outside the city had also reportedly been killed.

Fifteen civilians were killed and their bodies thrown into the river in the nearby Safina Village, while six men were tied to a vehicle and dragged around the village, the official said.

He said there were reports that Daesh fighters had also shot dead three women and three girls and wounded four other children because they were lagging behind during a forced relocation due to one of the children’s disability.

of law. To the contrary, the contemporary path away from democracy under the rule of law typically relies on actions within the law. Central among these legal measures is the early disabling of internal monitors of governmental illegality by the aggressive exercise of (legal) personnel powers. Often, there are related changes to the designs of institutions, which might be brought about through legislation. Ironically, the law is deployed to undermine legality and the rule of law more generally.

Many recent instances of democratic decline follow that pattern:

In Hungary, the Fidesz government of Viktor Orbán used a large parliamentary majority to change the composition of the Constitutional Court to create a new National Judicial Office. It also strengthened the prime minister’s control of supervisory bodies such as the Electoral Commission,Budget Commission, Media Board, and Ombudsman offices. Incumbent officials were removed to make way for Fidesz loyalists, who have facilitated the rise of what Orbán calls — intending the description as praise — “illiberal” or “non-liberal” democracy.

In Poland, the populist Law and Justice (PiS) party, elected in October 2015, began its tenure by selecting five new judges for the Constitutional Court, while refusing to swear in three other judges who had been properly appointed by the previous government. Two months later, the PiS-controlled parliament enacted an amendment to the Constitutional Tribunal Act requiring a two-thirds majority in the court for its decisions to be binding. In the same month, the parliament also enacted a new media law dismissing the boards of all public service broadcasters and vesting the


talks are eager to boost their profile among college students and see discounts as a way to hook new customers who will eventually pay full fare.

"This is a great opportunity to tap into this university base, show them the promise of digital music, show them the compelling digital offerings," said Peter Csathy, president and chief operating officer of San Diego-based Musicmatch Inc.

The discussions are still in an early stage, though several executives said they hoped to launch a trial run by early next year. The biggest hurdle seems to be winning over college administrators, who aren't as motivated as record companies and music services to wean students from piracy.

Many music industry executives blame the prolonged slump in CD sales on online piracy, particularly on file-sharing networks that enableusers to download music, movies and other digital media for free from one another's computers.

The most active users of those systems tend to be college students using high-speed campus computer networks. And many universities are paying for their students' love of file sharing: Campus networks have been clogged by file-sharing traffic and network administrators have been forced to respond to a steady stream of complaints from movie and music firms about illegal downloading.

Still, when university officials were first approached about putting the online jukeboxes on their networks, they weren't convinced it was necessary, said Peter Fader, a marketing professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, a longtime advocate of bringing legitimate services to campus at discounted rates.

Ultrastructural localization of tellurite reduction in Acholeplasma species.
Aerobic reduction of tellurite by five Acholeplasma species and two Mycoplasma species was investigated by light and electron microscopy. Among the Acholeplasma species, colonies of A. laidlawii and A. oculi exhibited a heavy, macroscopically visible reduction of tellurite, whereas the reaction of A. axanthum was weaker. A. granularum and A. modicum did not reduce the substrate under the experimental conditions employed. The two subspecies of M. mycoides also reacted with tellurite, as did also the investigated strain of M. bovigenitalium although to a lesser extent. Ultrastructurally, reduction sites were localized to the cytoplasmic membrane in the three tellurite positive Acholeplasma species and apparently to the cytoplasm of M. mycoides subsp. mycoides. Reduction sites could not be demonstrated in M. mycoides subsp.Swiss midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta will leave the Philadelphia Union at the end of the 2016, the club announced on Tuesday.

“The entire soccer community here was so welcoming, and I’m so thankful to everyone at Philadelphia Union for making me feel so appreciated,” Barnetta said in a statement. “Playing in front of my friends and family and making plans for life at the end of my career where I want to live is a force I can’t resist.”

Barnetta, who played for a decade in the German Bundesliga before moving to Philly, has made 37 appearances since arriving at Talen Energy Stadium on July 29, 2015. In that


time, he has posted six goals and seven assists.

This season, Barnetta has played an integral role in the side's surprising 2016 campaign, notching five goals and four assists. The Union currently sit in 4th place in the Eastern Conference and poised to make the Audi 2016 MLS Cup Playoffs for the first time since 2011 and only the second time in club history.

Nigeria, typically Africa’s biggest crude oil producer, is considering importing crude from neighbouring Niger due to militant attacks on pipelines in the Niger Delta that feed its refineries, a state oil company spokesman said on Friday.

Nigeria’s crude production, which was 2.1 million barrels per day (bpd) at the start of 2016, fell by around a third in the summer following a series of attacks since January by Delta militants who want a greater share of the country’s energy wealth to go to the impoverished southern oil-producing region.

The attacks prompted the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to halt crude flows to its refineries – in Kaduna, Port Harcourt and Warri – after key pipelines feeding the plants were attacked. Crude flows later restarted.

NNPC spokesman Ndu Ughamadu said President MuhammaduThe district court granted summary judgment for Firestone on Wilson's pendent state law breach of contract claim, and following a jury trial, granted Firestone's motion for a directed verdict on the state and federal age discrimination claims.

Wilson was a salaried employee of Firestone in Akron, Ohio for almost thirty-four years from 1953 until 1987.  He joined the company in an accounting position, and later served as Manager of Chemical Purchasing.  In February 1982, Wilson accepted the position of Manager of Rubber Purchasing.

In December 1986, Gary Crigger, Firestone's Corporate Vice-President of Purchasing, approached Klein about the possibility of reorganizing the purchasing department and eliminating the Manager of Rubber Purchasing position then held by Wilson.  Wilson was 51 years old at the time.  Klein agreed with Crigger that the purchasing department needed to be streamlined and that Wilson's position could be eliminated.

Crigger contacted Robert Mowery, a Firestone personnel official, who developed a plan for the staff cutbacks in the purchasing department.  Mowery sought and received approval of the plan from Firestone's reduction-in-force (RIF) committee, which was composed of various company attorneys and personnel officials.  The RIF committee functioned to ensure that company reorganizations and layoffs were handled properly and in accordance with Firestone internal policies.

He alleged that a reference to "33 years of service" in a memo written by Crigger at the time Firestone was developing the severance package for Wilson was an indication that age played a part in the decision to eliminate his position.  However, Firestone severance pay was computed with reference to an employee's years of service, and there is no indication in the memo that the length of service or Wilson's age affected the decision to reorganize the purchasing department.

15
Wilson also pointed to his 1986 conversation with Klein, in which the latter allegedly expressed his hope that older workers would take advantage of Firestone's early retirement incentive program so that younger workers When Wilson asked Klein about the decision, Klein simply said it was a personal choice which depended on Wilson's particular financial and family situation.  There was nothing in the conversation which might reasonably have given Wilson the perception that he was being forced to resign.  Though Wilson continued to work at Firestone for six weeks after announcing his decision to accept early retirement, he never expressed regret about his choice during that period, and he did not dispute at trial that he could have chosen to replace any of the three persons he supervised or could have taken the open position as a chemical buyer.

21
Also, Wilson's perception that the three options for continued employment with Firestone involved a great loss of prestige for him was


persons whom he could have elected to displace ranged in age from 32 to 57.  Wilson at the time was 52 years old.  He was offered four reasonable options;  he elected to accept a lucrative early retirement package.  The options were the product of reasonable business decisions by Firestone, and the selection of the fourth option was made freely and thoughtfully by Wilson.  We affirm the directed verdict in favor of Firestone on the ADEA claim.

23
In light of our disposition of the age discrimination claim, we need not address the district court's preliminary decision to offset any alleged damages under the ADEA with the pension and severance benefits Wilson received from Firestone and the interim earnings he received from Cargill.

I had the hunch that Mr. Bush, who had succeeded as a Texas governor in part by relying on his gut sense of people, events, meaning, went into the White House wondering if his gut would be up to the job. If it would give him the guidance it had given in Texas, if it was up to the demands of a presidency. Then Sept. 11 came, and he was thrown back onto his inner resources.

Is Unregistered Death possible after 1900 in U.S.?

I am researching my great uncle, James Barton (no middle initial), trying to find a death record. I believe he was living in Mt. Victory, Hardin County, Ohio in 1900.  I found a 'James Barton' married to Grace Barton with a child (Opalin) listed on this U.S. Census.
I believe this might be my great uncle as he was raised about 50 miles from Mt. Victory.  I know he died before 1910 and following Grace Barton's timeline, I found she remarried in 1910 - on her marriage record she was listed as a widow.  I'm assuming her husband, James Barton died and was buried in Mt. Victory, Ohio.
I have searched multiple on-line databases looking for a


some kind of death record by a coroner or funeral home in order to bury someone.
UPDATE:  I received feedback from the Hardin County Historical Society and they could not find a death record for my great uncle James Barton.  The woman that responded said she knew of two doctors in Hardin county that 'refused to write death certificates unless they were paid to do so.'
Feedback from user2448131 to my initial inquiry was valuable (Thanks for that!) re: the State of Ohio not making death certificates mandatory until after 1908.
The website linked (Ohio Connections) listing a 'Barton James Sep 25, 1908 Franklin Vol. Sep-Oct/GR9231 Cert. 1936' was not my ancestor - the age at death was too old.
So without a death certificate, where doI look next to find a burial site or accurate date of death?  On the on the 1900 census James's mother claimed five living children, whereas on the 1910 Federal Census his mother claimed she had only four living children.   As I mentioned earlier, on the 1910 Federal Census, I found a James Barton married to Grace (Hall) Barton living in Mt. Victory, Ohio.  Grace Barton remarried in 1910 and the marriage certificate stated she was a widow.
As I've mentioned before, I've checked the major on-line databases (Ancestry, Family Tree, Ohio Vital Records, etc.) and can't find any burial listed for my great uncle.
Any further suggestions?

An article at ohiohistory.org seems to have some clues as


to where to look, and has some general information on the requirements in Ohio at that time.  It appears your relative may have died during a transition period for death records in the state of Ohio.

In July 1867, it became a statewide law to record deaths at the
  probate court of the county where the death occurred. There is no
  statewide index to these deaths prior to December 20, 1908.

So if the death occurred before Dec. 1908, the records should be in whatever local 'probate court' would have held jurisdiction. After that date:

On December 20, 1908, the Ohio Department of Health began recording
  all deaths in the state of Ohio.

So records before 1908 are dispersed in local courthouses, with no mandated indexing at anyAURORA, Colo. (Dec. 22, 2017) - While vigorous exercise on a treadmill has been shown to slow the progression of Parkinson's disease in patients, the molecular reasons behind it have remained a mystery.

But now scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus may have an answer.

For the first time in a progressive, age-related mouse model of Parkinson's, researchers have shown that exercise on a running wheel can stop the accumulation of the neuronal protein alpha-synuclein in brain cells.

The work, published Friday in the journal PLOS ONE, was done by Wenbo Zhou, PhD, research associate professor of medicine and Curt Freed, MD, professor of medicine and division head of the Division of Clinical Pharmacology and Toxicology at the CU School of Medicine.

The researchers said clumps of alpha-synuclein are


of Gods. From the light of the Himalayas to the level of the plains He resides in the midst of Shankaracharya Nagar.

Sri Ananda Mayi Ma

In 1981 during the Vedic Science course in Delhi, Maharishi sent a large group to the Taj Mahal for a visit. While in Agra, the group heard that the great saint Sri Ananda Mayee Ma was at her place in Vrindavan, which was on the route back to Delhi from Agra. Maharishi enthusiastically said the group should visit her and to take shawls, saris, fruits, garlands, sweets - masses of them - as our gift.

The group arrived at twilight and meditated in a group outside her house while waiting for their chance to go up to the roof of the house where she gavedarshan. While the group was waiting two giant white birds flew low over her house - the celestial quality of the sight made everyone gasp.

Dr. Bevan Morris asked the receptionist to inform Sri Ananda Mayee Ma that we were from Maharishi. But the group had to go up in sections of ten as the space was limited. Dr. Morris went up in the last group, and found that Sri Ananda Mayee Ma was sitting deeply withdrawn not paying attention to the people coming and going, and the pile of cloth, flowers, fruit etc. that had been placed in front of her. At that stage she was very elderly, and near the end of her Earth days.

It was immediately obvious to Dr. Morris that she had not been told


that this was Maharishi's group. He asked the administrator again to please tell Sri Ananda Mayee Ma that these people were sent by Maharishi to see her. The administrator began to speak to her in Bengali and at the point where he said "Maharishi Mahesh Yogi" Sri Ananda Mayee Ma suddenly sat bolt upright and folded her palms together, and then started grabbing fruits and flowers and wrapping them up in packages, and giving them to us to deliver to Maharishi.

Then she gave a sublime message of devoted greeting and love to convey to Maharishi. The group upon reaching Delhi delivered this message to Maharishi's great joy.

On another occasion Maharishi was doing Puja with Sri Ananda Mayee Ma at her place in Haridwar, but finally Maharishi had togo. He told Sri Ananda Mayee Ma, Ma you stay here and continue, and I will go. She seemed to agree and let him go, but after a few moments got up and followed Maharishi out to the car, walking a little behind him with the sweetness of a small child. There was a mala wala - a garland salesman - with a basket full to the brim with marigold garlands on the street there, and Sri Ananda Mayee Ma pointed to him so that her assistant purchased the whole basket. Then Sri Ananda Mayee Ma took the whole basket to where Maharishi was now sitting in the car, and she tipped the whole basket of garlands through the window into his lap.

Ananda Mayee Ma is considered the


greatest lady saint of modern India, enlightened from a young girl, an expression of Mother Divine. She left the world in 1982. It was her custom to send westerners who visited to Maharishi to learn Transcendental Meditation - for example, Peter Wallace, the brother of Keith. Her devotion to Maharishi shows again that we have grasped very little of the grandeur of Maharishi's personality and status, and his role in the universe.

Tat Wala Baba

During the Teacher Training Course with Maharishi in the Academy of Meditation Shankaracharya Nagar in Rishikesh at the end of 1969, a course that included many of the greatest luminaries of the Movement, the course participants asked Maharishi if the famous recluse saint Tat Wala Baba could come to visit the course, as had happenedin previous courses. Tat Wala Baba was living in a cave about three miles up in the hills behind our Academy. It was his custom to only come out once a day for one hour to let visitors enjoy his darshan. There was a lean-to just below his cave for this purpose.

He was a very powerful man, very muscular like a wrestler, with matted hair that fell all the way to the ground. Maharishi said of him that he seemed to be in a good state of Unity Consciousness.

Maharishi agreed to invite Tat Wala Baba to come to speak to the course, and sent Brahmachari Shankerlalji, a very elderly and blissful Brahmachari, who had been Maharishi's Guru Bhai when Maharishi was Guru Dev's Brahmachari, and who lived out


all his final years in Maharishi's Academy of Meditation in Rishikesh (except for one time in 1970 when Maharishi sent him to Japan for a trip to see the Movement there). Maharishi also sent Bevan to accompany Shankerlalji to go to the cave and invite Tat Wala Babaji.

They drove as far as the could into the forest down a narrow track, and then climbed the final section up the hill. They found Tat Wala Baba had just come out for his daily Darshan and was sitting listening to a Pandit who was chanting slokas from a big book that was open in front of him.

Shankerlalji and Bevan respectfully greeted Tat Wala Babaji, and then Shankerlalji conveyed Maharishi's invitation to come to speak to the course. Tat Wala Babajiimmediately stood up, saying to the Pandit and the others who had come to see him: "Maharishiji is calling I have to go," and put on his sandals and started walking down the hill.

He came in the car through the forest to the Academy, pulling up outside the lecture hall where the course was meeting with Maharishi. The lecture hall was approached from the back down a ramp, and as Tat Wala Babaji entered the ramp the course participants could see him coming, and indicated to Maharishi that he had arrived. Maharishi came immediately from his seat, and as he turned the corner up the ramp, at the moment he first saw Tat Wala Babaji, Maharishi's face lit up like the sun from the joy.

There followed a beautiful


session of questions and answers with the course with Maharishi and Tat Wala Babaji sitting hand in hand - an experience that no one there will ever forget.

On another occasion a visitor to the Academy went up to see Tat Wala Babaji. When he arrived, he found another visitor there, a businessman from Delhi, who asked where our meditator was coming from. He said he came from Maharishi. The businessman scoffed, saying he should study some Indian philosopher from Oxford instead. So our meditator said, "Why not ask Tat Wala Babaji his opinion of Maharishi," to which the businessman agreed.
Tat Wala Babaji responded to the question, speaking very rapidly in Hindi, going on for about 15-20 minutes. As he continued, the businessman looked increasingly crestfallen. At the endour meditator asked, "What did Tat Wala Babaji say?" The businessman replied, "He said, 'Maharishi knows everything.'"

Devraha Baba

Devraha Baba was a great saint of India who passed away in 1991. So elderly was he that the President of India, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, more than fifty years ago said that his father had sat at the feet of Devraha Baba as a child - that is, in the middle of the nineteenth century - and Devraha Baba was already elderly at that time. An Allahabad High Court Barrister told Purusha visiting there that seven generations of his family had sat at the feet of Devraha Baba.

In 1982, a group of Purusha visited Devraha Baba at the Aardh Kumbha Mela, in Hardwar. In front of all the people attending his


talk, the Purusha introduced themselves as being from Maharishi. Devraha Baba replied, "Maharishi is very dear to me." After saying some other very nice things about Maharishi, he started throwing fruit to the Purusha. That was his way of giving blessings. He did three rounds of fruit-throws to them, which they were told was very special.

In 1989 another group of Purusha visited Devraha Baba at the Kumbha Mehla in Allahabad, where he was residing on a raised platform above the sand banks near the Sangam. The Purusha were with Devraha Baba when he saw a long line of yellow-clad young Vedic Pandits coming across the sands towards him chanting the Veda, sent by Maharishi to greet India's eldest saint.

When he saw them, Devraha Baba suddenly put his handsacross his heart and said passionately, "Maharishi has revived the whole Vedic tradition!"

At the Kumbha Mela in 2001, the devotees of Devraha Baba told our Purusha how Devraha Baba would often say that there is a Gyan Yuga coming in the midst of Kali Yuga, starting from a transition period from 2000 to 2020, and that His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is the one creating it!

A Member of the Mother Divine Course

One night I remember we were working on the scientific chart booklets and were going over every single research study. To me it seemed endless and after a while monotonous, and frankly dry and boring. At the same time I was amazed to see Maharishi's unwavering attention and enthusiasm continue for it. I thought to myself that


Maharishi must be seeing something in all this that I was missing. In my soul I deeply wished to see how all this scientific literature looked from Maharishi's perspective. In that very moment suddenly my perspective shifted and suddenly what I was hearing was how the laws of nature interacted on the deepest levels. The whole secret of the mechanics of creation as pertaining to the laws of nature was being revealed to me. For the next few hours I was raptly attentive to every word being uttered, and the whole talk became a revelation to me. I attribute the shift in my consciousness that night to Blessings from Maharishi, whose omniscient consciousness noticed my spiritual request, as I would also later find out on many other occasions.

SadguruSant Keshava Das

Sadguru Sant Keshava Das was a saint from south India who was considered a great exponent of Bakti Yoga. He primarily composed and sang Bhajans and expounded on the Bhagavad Gita and Lord Krishna's teachings.
In 1996, a group of Purusha, local representatives of Maharishi's Indian organizations, and a local real estate agent were out looking for land for building Vedic Pandit schools. The realtor was a devotee of Keshava Das and took the group to his main ashram, close to the land they were looking at, for his Darshan.

Keshava Das was very gracious to the group. And when they introduced themselves as being from Maharishi, Keshava Das said, "Maharishi is single-handedly reviving the Vedic tradition."

This was a great compliment to Maharishi from a revered saint, as


he himself was also trying to revive the Vedic knowledge.

Swami Lakshmanju

Swami Lakshmanju (1907-1991) was the last Acharya of the Kashmir Shaiva Siddhanta tradition. Written accounts of conversations with Swami Lakshmanju include the following comments about Maharishi:
"If you ask me, Maharishi's teaching starts where mine ends and it goes from there to Infinity." Then he added, "Maharishi is the greatest saint to walk the Earth in ten thousand years!"

Raj Mata of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh

(as told by Dr. Neil Patterson)

"In 1976, the Raj Mata of Lucknow, U. P., came to visit Maharishi in Switzerland. She had been a great devotee of Guru Dev when he was Shankaracharya and Guru Dev used to stay at the Royal Palace whenever he would visit Lucknow. Raj Mata told me that she remembers Maharishiwhen he was a brahmachari serving Guru Dev, but she really didn't pay much attention to him at the time. However, she was very surprised years later, after Guru Dev had left this earth, when people would come to her, people who had known Guru Dev and who had recently seen Maharishi. They would tell Raj Mata that Maharishi is just like Guru Dev. At first, Raj Mata said she didn't believe this. But throughout the sixties and early seventies, people kept telling her that Maharishi was just like Guru Dev and that she should go and see him. So, finally, she decided that before the end of her life, she had to come and see for herself. She stayed with us for about three months. On the


is just like the Master. He is the Master. He is Guru Dev and therefore I have to sit at his feet.'"

A little story about my earlier years of TM and seeing Maharishi for the first time at the Los Angeles Convention Center (approximately 1975-1976) After his presentation everybody went to the side exit door area to see him close up and offer him a flower. I had to borrow a flower as I came without and felt guilty and not very deserving to meet him. In a word I was depressed. As Maharishi came close to where I was standing, suddenly a force grabbed my arm and made me give the flower to Maharishi, I looked into his eyes and gave him the rose.

Kerry arrived in Paris Monday following the G20 Summit in Turkey. He is the first senior official from the Obama administration to visit since Friday's attacks. On Tuesday, he met with French President Francois Hollande at the Elysee Palace.

Later Tuesday evening, State Department Spokesperson John Kirby sought to clarify Kerry's remarks:Yuksekdag and Demirtas, co-leaders of the HDP, and a number of other MPs were arrested last November after the Turkish parliament voted earlier in the year to lift parliamentary immunity from a select group of MPs, many of whom have been accused by the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and the president of having ties with the banned PKK, a charge the HDP has vehemently denied.

A Turkish court sentenced Demirtas to five months in jail on Tuesday for “insulting Turkish nation, the state of Turkish Republic and public organs and institutions,” Anadolu reported, citing a judicial source.

It had been previously reported that prosecutors in Turkey recommended in an indictment that Demirtas and Yuksekdag, should serve 43 to 142 and 30 to 83 years in prison, respectively, in


line with the scope of a “terror case.”

It was not clear after Tuesday if Demirtas’ five-month sentence would fulfill the punishment for the charges he has been facing.

HDP lawmaker Idris Baluken was also re-arrested on Tuesday on charges alleging him to be a member of an armed terror organization and of disrupting the unity of the state and country, according to several media agencies.

An HDP delegation filed an application at the European Court of Human Rights on Monday regarding the continued detention of Demirtas and Yuksekdag.

The official HDP stated that the co-chairs’ continued imprisonment “constitutes a violation of the right to freedom and security, freedom of speech and the right to free elections as protected by both the Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights — andup and unwittingly begins to anchor him.

Hamptons-Based Operation International Aids Over 300 During Successful Medical Mission In Uganda

In Uganda, a single, local hospital with only four physicians services a population of almost 500,000. However, during the Operation International's latest medical mission a team of OI physicians, nurses, clinicians and many other volunteers attended to over 350 impoverished adults and children, delivered $600,000 worth of medical supplies and visited three orphanages.

"Our medical mission to Uganda was very fulfilling for our entire team," said Medhat Allam, MD, Operation International's Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board of Directors. "As part of our mission to save as many lives as possible in impoverished countries where people are faced with the lack of quality health services, we performed 72 major complex surgicalprocedures during 16-hour days on congenital anomalies, severe burn reconstructions, benign and malignant tumors."

During the mission to Rakai, Uganda, the team brought equipment and set up three modern, fully function operating rooms and constructed a five-bed recovery room, three-bed ICU; delivered patient transportation stretchers, wheelchairs, hundreds of blankets, linens and gowns; disposable medical supplies for 500 operations; hundreds of clothing items and shoes; educational materials and 2,500 mosquito nets.

Other highlights included being greeted at the airport by Uganda's Minister of Public Services, meeting the Queen - who gave flowers to team members in appreciation of their work, and a visit with the King of Kooki who paid tribute to our team on his birthday.

"We examined patients on the grass, since there was not enough space at the hospital,


and we taught orphans to sing. For us, the best medicine is celebrating the joy of life," Dr. Allam noted.

The team also helped bring a life into the world during a harrowing situation. "A woman in labor was facing a near-death situation. She could not deliver her child, and its heartbeat had stopped. Our team performed a C-section to save the mother, and then performed CPR to bring her baby girl back to life. It was a heartwarming moment witnessing the look on the mother's face as she heard her child cry for the first time after entering the world," added Dr. Allam.

Formerly known as International Surgical Mission Support (ISMS), the secular, non-political, Southampton-based humanitarian organization was founded in 1996 by Medhat Allam, MD; Ravi Kothuru, MD; andRobert Mineo, CRNA. The nonprofit aspires to offer medical aid to adults and children in impoverished countries that suffer from a lack of quality healthcare. They have provided care in over 23 countries. Operation International also offers on-site education and training to local health care workers during each of its missions.

Since the team's first mission to Haiti in 1997, where a firsthand account of the devastating effects of poverty and inadequate medical care, the team has expanded to include over 200 medical professionals through individual chapters across the US.

The organization has also since developed alliances with the United Nations, Rotary International, Agnes Varis Trust, Americares, AFYA Foundation, Soles 4 Souls, and Hospitals Sisters Mission Outreach. In partnership with Dooley Intermed, the organization is building the first eye hospital

(UK)

Charles Holt was a British comic artist and one of the original contributors to D.C. Thomson's Beano since 1938. His comic strip 'Little Dead-Eye Dick' ran in the magazine in 1938 and in 1949-1950. He was the original artist of 'Uncle Windbag' (1938, 1950) and 'Swanky Lanky Liz' (1948-49), the latter becoming a part of the 'Lord Snooty' strip in 1950. Holt was also the original artist for 'Our Ernie' in Knock-Out in 1939.

Is it possible that Holt is also the author behind the silent comic strip about a sailor, which is signed C.R. Holt?

Centennial Commission (1947) Parade planning records

Historical Note

Scope and Content

This series is made up of records used in organizing and carrying out centennial street pageants or parades presented in Salt Lake City on July 23 and 24, 1947.

Included is information about two other centennial parades in Salt Lake City, the Posse Parade (July 14) and Governors Parade (July 15), as well as the Centennial Commission's entry of a float in the Tournament of Roses Parade in Pasadena, California (January 1).

Records reflect three phases--advance planning and preparation, parade day logistics, and follow-up. The various elements of advance planningAssociation, and a member of the Pageant Committee of the Arts Division, was employed to design parade costumes. The Utah Historical Society collection of 1947 Pioneer Centennial Photos includes black and white and color shots of floats, the centennial queen and court, dignitaries, posse riders, marching bands, and spectators at the various parades.

Related Records

Centennial event programs, press books, and advertisements from the Centennial Commission (1947), Series 2227, include a copy of the Official Centennial Souvenir program for the Centennial Street Pageant.

Reports from the Centennial Commission (1947), Series 2228, include updates, summaries of parades, and an accounting of parade expenditures.

Division correspondence and subject files from the Centennial Commission (1947), Series 19317, include correspondence of the parade committee.

Custody History

In his book, The Wretched of the Earth, published in 1961, Frantz Fanon noted what he considered to be the necessary conditions for the overthrow of colonialism: "To tell the truth, the proof of success lies in a whole social structure being changed from the bottom up." He added that "establishing a social movement for the decolonization of a person and of a people" was critical in disrupting the legacy of colonialism.

Almost sixty years later, Edgar Villanueva picks up on Fanon's call to action in his book Decolonizing Wealth. In the book, Villanueva places a spotlight on how colonialism has been perpetuated and stresses the importance of eliminating it from circles of wealth and, in particular, philanthropy, making it perhaps the most


refreshing and insightful of the recent spate of books on foundations.

Villanueva is a rare combination: both a grantmaker and a member of the Lumbee Tribe, one of eight state-recognized Native American tribes in North Carolina. Drawing on Native American wisdom, he presents an eye-opening prescription for how foundations can dismantle the unequal power dynamic that historically has separated funders from the nonprofit organizations they support. Invoking the understanding common among indigenous people of medicine as "a way of achieving balance," he outlines what he terms "Seven Steps to Healing" — Grieve, Apologize, Listen, Relate, Represent, Invest, and Repair — with the caveat that the steps are less a checklist for funders to complete than an invitation to them to embark on a journey of "decolonization."

Differentiating himself from manyof philanthropy's contemporary critics, Villanueva does readers a great service by focusing their attention on the grantmaking process. It's hardly a secret that change in the ways foundations operate is long overdue. What's so refreshing about Villanueva's approach is his application of a decolonization lens to that call to action, drawing on his own experience as a member of the Lumbee, the very first people on the North American continent to experience directly the arrival of and subsequent colonization by Europeans. In the process, he reminds readers that white supremacy on the North American continent has its origins in the 1400s and establishes the connection between that long, shameful legacy to current organized philanthropic practices. His blueprint for addressing that legacy offers a powerful set of arguments as


to why those most impacted by the activities of foundations should be more involved in foundations' decision-making processes and why foundation officials have to go beyond their current practices and take steps to bridge the divide between grantmakers and grantees.

Villanueva moves quickly from his deconstruction of how foundation practices are embedded in colonialism to solutions, noting that they are easily found in the practices and traditions of the continent's indigenous peoples. "All of us who have been forced to the margins," he writes, "are the very ones who harbor the best solutions for healing, progress and peace, by virtue of our outsider perspective and resilience." At the same time, his sense of "otherness" empowers him to ask difficult questions. He addresses, for instance, the question of where foundationsmost affected by those decisions. Over the last several decades some family foundations and public foundations have taken modest steps in this direction. On July 28, 1961, for example, the Taconic Foundation invited a handful of civil rights leaders, including the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., to its offices in New York City to brief its trustees, foundation officials, and representatives of both the White House and the U.S. Department of Justice. The aim of the meeting was to bring other funders to the table to support voter registration efforts in the South. Other foundations have discovered the double value of adding grantee representatives to their board and hiring individuals from "affected communities" as program officers, while a growing number of foundations are tapping leaders in the fields


they support to serve as trustees. (At many family foundations, those who serve in such roles typically are term-limited while family members are not.)

In San Diego, the Jacobs Family Foundation provides support to local partners involved in the Village at Market Creek, a sixty-acre community development plan for the city's Diamond Neighborhoods area that was created by teams of community residents. The foundation’s philosophy is to leverage its entire asset base for the benefit of its partners and grant recipients, and as a step in that direction the foundation has located an office in the neighborhood. Another example is Philadelphia-based People's Fund (today known as the Bread and Roses Community Fund), which has long supported grassroots social justice organizations. In the 1970s, all grant decisions made by thefund had to be voted on at an annual meeting open to "grantee partners" as well as donors and other stakeholders.

Twenty-five years later, as a program officer at the Ford Foundation, it was my turn to be exposed to the strongly-held belief (in the case of Ford) that those most affected by social and economic challenges are in the best position to craft optimal solutions to those challenges. Then, in 2011, while reading Janny Scott's book A Singular Woman: The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mother, I learned about the work that Ann Dunham, Obama’s mother, did as a program officer for Ford in Indonesia in the 1970s. A trained anthropologist, Dunham did not just sit in the foundation's Jakarta office and review proposals. Instead, she got out


"in the field" and talked with local villagers and their elders about the challenges their communities faced. As a result of those conversations, she was able to craft grants that more directly responded to the aspirations of the people and communities Ford was there to help.

In a similar fashion, in the mid-80s, Ford engaged as consultants a number of frontline responders to the AIDS pandemic, including health officials, the chief executive officer of GMHC, and gay men either infected or affected by AIDS/HIV, to suggest strategies that would be most effective in stemming its devastation. (As the founding executive director of Funders Concerned About AIDS, I was privileged to be one of those who served in that capacity.) More often than not, such changes were due to theactions of well-placed individuals rather than from a structural analysis on the part of staff and board.

More recently, Jennifer and Peter Buffett's NoVo Foundation stepped in to help the women's movement in New York City create a place where women can gather. Similar places have existed for decades in cities as diverse as Rome and San Francisco. But New York, which has been a locus of women's organizing dating back to the nineteenth century, lacked such a hub. To correct the situation, NoVo stepped up and purchased a former correctional facility for women on Manhattan's West Side to serve as the site for the project and engaged a variety of stakeholders, including formerly incarcerated women — "a circle of women leaders who bring wide-ranging skills, perspectives, and experience


McGraw Hill will further reduce competition.

With textbook prices rising year after year, a merger of this magnitude could spell disaster for students. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, textbook prices increased 88 percent between 2006 and 2016. Given the growing monopolization of the textbook market, alternative modes of access such as open educational resources are becoming an urgent priority for schools and students across the country.

Inclusive Access: Part of the Problem

As textbook publishers have seen sales of their print materials decline, they have turned to a new subscription-based model called "inclusive access," in which students pay a flat fee to access educational materials. Inclusive access has been likened to the streaming model increasingly popular in other media, including movies (Netflix) and music (Apple Music). The consumer is12, 2019

"Former gang members make incredible students. The same skills that made me a good drug-dealer — resiliency, hustle, determination — I now use on campus to succeed in school," Jesse Fernandez tells the audience attending our panel discussion at this year's Gang Prevention and Intervention Conference in Long Beach.

I was on stage with Jesse as co-moderator for the first education-focused panel in the conference's history. (The Michelson 20MM Foundation convened the panel, tapping Jesse, Taffany Lim of California State University, Los Angeles, and Brittany Morton of Homeboy Industries to share their experiences.) Only 25, he has come a long way from the gang life he once knew. Today, he interns for Homeboy Industries, helping other students on their path to college; has finished an associate's program in


Los Angeles; and has studied abroad at Oxford University. He may not look like a typical college student, but he speaks with the certainty and eloquence of someone who has been in school for years.

"College means hope. It means understanding your identity. For me, it was learning about my indigenous heritage, what it means to be Chicano, and how my community has been affected by violence and loss."

I first met Jesse over a lunch of chilaquiles (with salsa verde) and agua fresca (Angela's Green Potion is a "do not miss") at Homegirl Café, an L.A. staple since the 1990s. The café is run by former gang members and offers a safe space for people coming out of prison, providing many of them with their first job and creatinga pipeline to sustainable employment. It's so popular that Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and other politicians on the national stage have stopped in for a bite while in town.

Jesse is one of thousands of justice-involved students attending college in California. The exact number is unknown, as public colleges in the state do not require the disclosure of a criminal history. Many students choose to self-identify in order to take advantage of resources specific to the justice-involved population. Others, says Morton, academic program coordinator for Homeboy, are still trying to overcome the perceived "stigma" of having been incarcerated.

"Imagine getting released from prison after twenty-plus years on the inside, and you've never used a computer before. Then you get to campus, and every form, assignment, and application is online. It's


intimidating for people and there is a lot of shame connected to these experiences."

It's estimated that 53 percent of formerly incarcerated people have a high school diploma or GED, yet fewer than 5 percent have completed college (Vera Institute of Justice). Persistence in postsecondary education is fraught with challenges, especially for non-traditional students. The typical formerly incarcerated person has served more than two years in prison, has at least one minor child, and is over the age of 30. In the year after their release, they earn around $9,000 in wages. A year of community college in California costs around $10,000, putting postsecondary opportunities squarely out of reach for most people who have served time.

Making a Difference

That's where peer-led organizations like Homeboy Industries, Project Rebound, and Underground Scholarsstudents both on campus and in prison.

This winter, Jesse Fernandez will be continuing his education at the University of California, Berkeley, where he hopes to major in Chicano Studies. He says he has already connected with other students on campus who were formerly incarcerated — and that has made it "easier to imagine the day-to-day of being a full-time college student at a place like Berkeley."

In a few years, Jesse will be part of a new generation of justice-impacted college students who strive to become leaders and visionaries in the fight for criminal justice reform in the United States. The first step is helping the public understand that people who are incarcerated deserve opportunities to better themselves above and beyond the limitations and barriers our systems have placed


on them.

As the co-founder of Devex, a social enterprise and media platform for the global development community, Kumar has a unique perspective on the emerging trends, key players, and new frameworks and philosophies that are shaping the development sector. And as he sees it, the sector is undergoing three fundamental changes: first, an opening up to diverse participants; second, a shift from a wholesale to a retail model of aid; and third, a growing focus on results-oriented, evidence-based strategies.

According to Kumar, the diversification of participants and, consequently, of strategies, both characterizes and is contributing to the growing success of this new era of aid. Prior to the twenty-first century, the sector was dominated by large agencies such as USAID (U.S. Agency for International Development) and the World Bankfunctioning as an oligopsony in which aid strategies were relatively homogeneous and any latitude to innovate was limited. Thanks in part to the wealth accumulated by tech billionaires such as Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, however, that is changing and the sector today operates and is informed by a much broader range of perspectives.

One result of the influx of tech dollars and expertise into the sector has been a demand for results, often in the form of a measurable return on those investments. But despite the broader diversity of approaches, failure is still part and parcel of the field, and Kumar offers some insights into why. An example he cites repeatedly is Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Nicholas Negroponte's One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Initiative, which never fully

The South Africa native has played an important part in the rise of Gregor Townsend’s Glasgow Warriors since he arrived in Scotland in 2012.

methamphetamine concealed in a pouch in Appellant's pants.  Appellant was arrested for
kidnapping his girlfriend, Lorie Frerran.  According to the testimony, Corporal Scott O'Neill
of the Lubbock Police Department responded to a call from Lorie's estranged husband,
Alberto Frerran, that Lorie had possibly been abducted from a Big Lots parking lot.  When
he arrived at the scene, Corporal O'Neill spoke with Alberto and an unidentified witness.
Alberto identified Appellant as the suspected abductor and pointed out Appellant's car in
the parking lot.  From the vehicle information, Corporal O'Neill was able to confirm that
Appellant was the vehicle's registered owner and obtain Appellant's address.  He and
several other officers then drove to the address in an attempt to locate Appellant and Lorie.
	Corporal O'Neill


testified that as they approached the residence, he observed
Appellant "struggling" with Lorie in the front yard and holding her arm.  Appellant was
immediately handcuffed and placed in the back of a patrol car.  Corporal O'Neill advised
Appellant that he was not under arrest but in "protective custody" until he could determine
what was going on.  After speaking with the other parties, Corporal O'Neill informed
Appellant that he was under arrest for kidnapping and transported him to a holding facility.
An inventory search of Appellant's person revealed $184 in small bills, two digital scales,
and a brown felt pouch containing several plastic baggies of a substance later determined
to be methamphetamine.
	Appellant was subsequently charged with possession of methamphetamine with
intent to deliver.  Prior to trial, citing the Fourth Amendment to the Unitedhe had
observed because he testified that he would have released Appellant had he determined
that the kidnapping allegations were wrong.  He testified that he arrested Appellant based
on "[t]he initial information received, the uninvolved witness information, and the victim's
information."  He did not, however, elaborate regarding the details of this information.  His
only testimony concerning the basis for Appellant's arrest was that the initial complaint
referenced a possible abduction and the fact that he observed Appellant holding Lorie's
arm and "struggling" with her in front of the residence.
	Meanwhile, Lorie, the alleged victim of the kidnapping, elaborated further on the
events leading to Appellant's arrest. She testified that, prior to the incident, she had
decided to stop seeing Appellant and return to her husband, Alberto.  While shopping at
Big Lots, Appellant approached her and


began pleading with her not to leave him.  At some
point during their encounter, Alberto called her on her cell phone and asked if he should
"call the cops."  She replied, "Yes, whatever it takes."  Lorie eventually agreed to follow
Appellant back to his house.  However, she ultimately drove Appellant to his house in her
car because he promised her that he would get her a "20" of methamphetamine.
	When they arrived at Appellant's house, Appellant tried to persuade her to come
inside.  But she refused and told him to "just go in and get what I need, and let me leave."
As the two talked in the front yard, the police and Alberto arrived.  Lorie testified that when
they saw the police, Appellant was not holding herarm and they were not struggling.
When the officers approached, Lorie told them, "It's okay. It's okay."  She also told
Appellant "not to worry" and "everything would be okay."  When Appellant was handcuffed
and placed in the patrol car, Lorie stated that it was "shocking" and she became upset and
confused as to why the officers were arresting him.
	Regarding her discussions with the officers, Lorie recalled telling them about the
argument at Big Lots but also recalled telling them that she did not believe she had been
kidnapped.  She testified that when she told the officers everything was okay, Alberto
squeezed her arm and whispered "shut the fuck up, bitch."
	We conclude Lorie's testimony raised a factual dispute as to Appellant's arrest
because that evidence, if believed, negated some of the


Turner Gill named new head football coach

Spring 2012 : Liberty University Athletics

Turner Gill, 49, was named Liberty University’s new head football coach in December 2011. Gill has an extensive football résumé, from a standout quarterback at the University of Nebraska to the head coach at University at Buffalo-The State University of New York, and at the University of Kansas.

“I am both honored and grateful to be able to coach and mentor young men at a university which supports Jesus Christ as the personal Lord and Savior,” Gill said in his introductory press conference at Williams Stadium on Dec. 15, 2011.

Along with the announcement of the hire, Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. reported that Liberty is conducting a study to determine if it should reclassify its football program to thea man of strong personal character to continue to lead our program. … Once we identified Turner as one of these individuals and he expressed his interest back to us, that is when things started moving quickly.”

Gill received his first head coaching position in 2006, when he took over a struggling University of Buffalo Bulls program. During his second year at Buffalo, he was named the Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year. In 2008, he led the Bulls to their first-ever postseason bowl appearance in the International Bowl.

Gill’s longest coaching tenure has been at his alma mater, where he served as an assistant coach from 1992 to 2004. He served as the Cornhuskers’ quarterbacks coach from 1992 to 2003 and wide receivers coach during his final year with


the program. Gill instructed two All-America quarterbacks at Nebraska, including Heisman Trophy winner Eric Couch (2001). He was part of a coaching staff that guided Nebraska to 13-straight bowl appearances and three national championships (1994, 1995 and 1997).

Gill was honored himself in 2002 when he was a finalist for the Frank Broyles Award, given annually to the nation’s top assistant coach.

During his playing career at Nebraska (1980-83), Gill guided the Cornhuskers to a 28-2 record and an unblemished 20-0 record in conference play. He led Nebraska to three-straight Orange Bowl appearances.

Gill was a three-time Big Eight all-conference selection, earned second-team All-America honors and was a Heisman Award finalist, where he finished fourth in the voting in 1983.

Gill also played collegiate baseball for one season at Nebraska and earnedAll-Big Eight honors at shortstop. Following his collegiate career, Gill played two seasons in the Canadian Football League with Montreal (1984-85) and three years as a baseball player in the Cleveland Indians and Detroit Tigers minor league systems (1986-88).

Gill comes to Liberty after serving two years as head coach of the Kansas Jayhawks. During his time in Lawrence, Kan., Gill coached 10 players who earned All-Big 12 honors.

Now at Liberty, Gill said he aims to “bring championships through Christ by preparing young men academically, athletically and spiritually.”

“It is a great time to be a Liberty Flame, and it is time to lead forward to have an unparalleled future,” he said.
Gill completed his bachelor’s degree in behavior analysis at North Texas in 1990. The Fort Worth, Texas, native and


student section will be on the end closer to the visiting team bench. As both NFHS and NCAA rules require teams to play at the basket towards their own bench during the second half, this placement allows free throw distractions to occur during crucial moments of the game.

Football

Football student sections are similar to those in basketball, but can be considerably larger, sometimes consisting of several thousand people. They are often situated in one or both endzones to allow the crowd noise to distract the opposing team's offense while in the red zone or backed up against their own endzone. Many football programs directly involve the student section as a part of the gameday experience, where they are integrated into the team's pregame and postgame.

As Life Expectancy Grows, Men Are Still Lagging

People worldwide are living longer, healthier lives. A 2016 Duke University study of mortality patterns in humans, as well as monkeys and apes, suggests that the last few generations of humans have enjoyed the biggest life expectancy boost in primate history. The study appeared the week of November 21st 2016 in the online early edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

A release from the university notes that the gains are partly due to advances in medicine and public health that have increased the odds of survival for human infants and reduced the death toll from childhood illness. Yet males still lag behind females — not just in humans but across the primate family tree, the researchers found.

An international teamfrom the U.S., Germany, Denmark, Kenya and Canada compiled records of births and deaths for more than a million people worldwide, from the 18th century to the present. The data included people in post-industrial societies such as Sweden and Japan, people born in pre-industrial times, and modern hunter-gatherers, who provide a baseline for how long people might have lived before supermarkets and modern medicine.

The researchers combined these measurements with similar data for six species of wild primates that have been studied continuously for three to five decades, including Verreaux’s sifaka lemurs, muriqui monkeys, capuchins, baboons, chimpanzees and gorillas.

The data confirm a growing body of research suggesting that humans are making more rapid and dramatic gains than ever before seen in the primate family tree.

For example, in the last
