Georgian language instruction. Ethnic Azeris had similar complaints in the ethnic Azeri-dominated region of Kvemo Kartli.

On July 22, Vaagan Chakhalian and Ruben Chakhaliani, both members of United Javakh, a local NGO that calls for autonomy for ethnic Armenians in the country, were charged with violating public order, resisting arrest, threatening law enforcement officers, and illegally possessing firearms. In 2006, the men attempted to break into the Akhalkalaki municipal building, wounding police in the process. A third person was also at the scene; a criminal case against him was ongoing at year's end, although he had not been officially charged or arrested.

Ethnic Armenians, Azeris, Greeks, Abkhaz, Ossetians, and Russians usually communicated in their native languages or in Russian in the areas where they are the dominant ethnic group. Thelaw requires that ethnic minority students learn Georgian as a second language, and the government funded over 200 primary and secondary Russian, Azeri, and Armenian language schools for persons whose first language was not Georgian. The Zurab Zhvania School of Public Administration based in Kutaisi provided courses specifically for students from minority areas. The school also facilitated integration of future public servants from minority areas into Georgian society at large. In Tbilisi, a large majority of ethnic minority groups communicated in Georgian in their daily affairs.

The government took several steps to integrate ethnic minority communities better through Georgian language instruction, education, involvement in political dialogue, and better overall access to information. During the year the General Skills National Examinations for university enrollment were provided in minority languages for


the first time. The government increased its efforts to provide Georgian language instruction to members of ethnic minorities serving in the armed forces and police.

In July 2007, Parliament approved a law on the repatriation of the Muslim Meskhetian population, a national minority group that Stalin deported in 1944. The legislation was a response to commitments that the country made to the Council of Europe in 1999 to provide for the resettlement of the Meskhetians by 2011. Passage of the law allowed the government on January 1 to begin accepting applications for repatriation from Meskhetians with documents that confirm their deportation. Passage of the law came under heavy criticism from opposition members of Parliament and the media, which pointed to the delicate ethnic and demographic balance in areas onceHIV-positive status from employers for fear of losing their jobs.

6. Worker Rights

a. The Right of Association

The law allows all workers, including government employees, to form and join independent unions of their choice, and they did so in practice. However, the law restricts the right of employees of law enforcement agencies and the prosecutor general's office to form and join unions. Labor unions stated that provisions of the labor code limit the mechanisms available for them to exercise their rights. Labor unions' most frequent demand was for the creation of an eight-hour workday with double pay for overtime. The labor code stipulates an eight-hour day unless the employee and employer agree to other arrangements. Critics asserted that this gave too much power to employers, since there was a shortage


of jobs in the country. They also cited as unreasonable the requirement that 100 employees are needed in order to form a sectoral union.

The principal association of unions is the Georgian Trade Union Confederation (GTUC), which represented unions in 26 sectors with over 261,750 unionized workers, according to GTUC information. There were a few small unions for civil servants, agricultural workers, and artists, but they did not participate in GTUC. Although many employees in large-scale enterprises were unionized, their power was not commensurate with their large membership. Only a minority of the members were active in the labor movement. Critics believed that this gave management a free hand.

The law allows unions to conduct their activities without interference. The law provides for the right to strike; however, the lawthe labor relationship as one of the major deficiencies of the labor code. The practice of collective bargaining was not widespread. During the year the GTUC administered approximately 115 collective bargaining agreements as well as three sector-level agreements. Poor management and leadership, as well as a general lack of familiarity with the collective bargaining process, limited its scope.

The law prohibits employers from discriminating against union members or union-organizing activities, and employers may be prosecuted for violations and forced to reinstate employees and pay back wages. Despite this law, the GTUC and its national unions continued to report some cases of management warning staff not to organize trade unions.

During the year GTUC alleged several instances in employers threatened union members with dismissal for union activity. In December 2007, union


child labor was uncommon in the country. The Ministry of Health, Labor, and Social Affairs is responsible for enforcing laws regulating child labor. Although official data was not available, child labor was not generally considered a serious problem. In one survey conducted in 2007, approximately 77.4 percent of working children were employed intermittently on family farms, while 18.4 percent worked in family enterprises.

During the year the government, employers union, and trade union confederation signed a long-awaited tripartite agreement, which was seen as a positive development. The agreement, however, had yet to be implemented at year's end.

The minimum legal age for employment is 16. In exceptional cases, children may work with parental consent at ages 14 and 15. Children under age 18 may not engage in unhealthy or undergroundwork and children ages 16 to 18 are subject to reduced working hours and are prohibited from working at night. The labor code permits employment agreements with persons under the age of 14 in sports, arts, and cultural activities and for the performance of advertising services. The Department of Social Protection in the Ministry of Health and Social Security is charged with identifying labor violations, receiving complaints, and determining compliance with labor laws and regulations. The Department of Social Protection had only two office employees and one labor inspector working on labor-related issues nationwide. It generally responded only to job-related accidents. In addition, one deputy minister and a special advisor to the minister focused on labor problems. The ministry monitors adherence to accepted labor standards and drafts proposals

* The famous names of the ships he took on his famous 1492 trip across the Atlantic Ocean, the Niña, Pinta and Santa Maria, probably weren’t really named Niña, Pinta and Santa Maria. The Santa Maria was also known at the time as La Gallega, meaning The Galician.” The Niña is now believed to be a nickname for a ship originally called the Santa Clara, and the Pinta was probably also a nickname, though the ship’s real name isn’t clear.

*Columbusdidn’t “discover” America — he never set foot in North America.

During four separate trips that started with the one in 1492, Columbus landed on various Caribbean islands that are now the Bahamas as well as the island later called Hispaniola. He also explored the Central and South American coasts. But he didn’t reach North America, which, of course, was already inhabited by Native Americans, and he never thought he had found a new continent. You may also remember that it is believed that Norse explorer Leif Erikson reached Canada perhaps 500 years before Columbus was born, and there are some who believe that Phoenician sailors crossed the Atlantic much earlier than that.

And here’s something he did do that you may not know:

governor of the Caribbean islands on which he did land.

He committed atrocities against native peoples on the islands and decimated their populations while he also terrorized Spanish colonists, according to the biography “Columbus” by Laurence Bergreen.

Why do we celebrate Columbus Day?

The first Columbus Day celebration recorded in the United States was in New York on October 12th, 1792, held to honor Italian-American heritage. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1937 proclaimed October 12th to be Columbus Day, a national holiday. In 1971, the holiday date was changed to the second Monday in October.

If you regularly buy tickets for movies, sporting events, or concerts, you've heard of BookMyShow. With over 50 million downloads, it's one of India’s biggest apps, and one of the few big players among ticketing platforms. With its latest offering, announced in Mumbai on Thursday, the company is trying to become something new.

The 18-year-old start-up has now set its sight on the realm of music, and it's ramping up a feature that has been in soft launch for months: Jukebox. What began in testing as a way to give users a few free songs upon the purchase of a ticket – a seemingly banal addition in the age of streaming services – is now turning into India's own free-tier Spotify. But Jukebox is not a standalone app inboast of over 30 million tracks, but the catalogue is growing.

With talk-shows, BookMyShow is taking a different approach. In addition to working with partners from the Champions League to Aaj Tak, it's also creating dozens of hours of original content in a multitude of interests. Kuber said BookMyShow's research helped to decide what's available on Jukebox, noting that horror popped out as a surprising area of interest for listeners.

Some shows will be updated on a weekly or daily basis, and others such as news bulletins will be updated multiple times in a day. The latter is a particularly interesting area since radio channels cannot broadcast news in India.

Kanye West has wiped his Twitter account of all pro-Trump tweets. The Twitter purge, according to a report from TMZ, is because West is no longer a fan. West is reportedly "super unhappy" with Trump's White House performance, which thus far has centered on the widely condemned Muslim ban and the looming presence of former Breitbart chair Steve Bannon. West's most recent tweet was a sly bit of promo for Big Sean's new album I Decided:

West has faced continued backlash for the tweets, in addition to comments he made during the (eventually canceled) Saint Pablo Tour ahead of his perplexing meeting at Trump Tower:

In an interview with Clique in December, G.O.O.D. Music affiliate John Legend expressed his disappointment with West's actions. "I don't think it's impossible to talkto [Trump] about issues, but I won't be used as a publicity stunt," Legend said. "I think Kanye was a publicity stunt." Trump's message, Legend added, is "corrosive" to the nation. "Whatever's in [West's] mind, I disagree with him," Legend said.

For his first major event since the Saint Pablo cancelation and subsequent hospitalization, West will bring the debut of his Yeezy Season 5 collection to New York Fashion Week. The Pier 59 presentation, initially scheduled for Feb. 15 at 5 p.m., has since been bumped up to 3 p.m. following an apparent conflict with Marchesa's show.

Though West is nominated for eight awards, he is reportedly planning to skip this weekend's Grammys celebration.

pro-Israel stance doesn’t mean Israeli leaders will see things his way.

Unlike Tolkien, George R.R. Martin never created full-fledged languages for
his books, but he did make up a bunch of words. I guess they didn't want to
replace those with different words from other real-world languages.

One of the challenges for David Peterson was to 'retrofit' the languages he
created to what Martin had already made up. He coined a bunch of words and
phrases for the books, and those needed to make sense and be grammatically
correct in the newly created languages.

The phrase "valar morghulis", meaning "all men must die" in High Valyrian is a
nice example. Peterson made the -ar suffix indicate the collective number.
This is expressed by 'all' in English, but in many languages this is a

Donald Trump's controversial top advisor Steve Bannon said the Trump administration would build an entirely new political movement, one greater than the "Reagan revolution," according to a report from The Hollywood Reporter.

Bannon, the former president of the incendiary Breitbart News, in an exclusive interview with THR laid out his vision of an American focused entirely on jobs, even comparing it to President Andrew Jackson's populism.

"The conservatives are going to go crazy," Bannon said. "I'm the guy pushing a trillion-dollar infrastructure plan. With negative interest rates throughout the world, it's the greatest opportunity to rebuild everything. Ship yards, iron works, get them all jacked up. We're just going to throw it up against the wall and see if it sticks. It will be as exciting as the 1930s, greaterthan the Reagan revolution — conservatives, plus populists, in an economic nationalist movement."

Earlier this week, Trump picked Bannon as senior counselor and chief strategist to the White House. Trump's decision sparked outrage among Democrats as some believe Bannon's site has been a hub for the "alt-right" movement that has been associated with white nationalism and anti-Semitism.

Bannon told THR that if the Trump White House delivered on its plans it would get "60 percent of the white vote, and 40 percent of the black and Hispanic vote."

Main Street Bistro to close on Saturday

Main Street Bistro, a Princeton fixture for affordable drinks and casual fare for more than a quarter century, is closing for good tomorrow, Aug. 26.

The eatery was bought by the Fenwick Hospitality Group last year. The company also owns Agricola, the Great Road Farm, the Dinky Bar & Kitchen, and Cargot Brassiere. Jim Nawn, the owner of Fenwick, decided not to renew Main Street’s lease at the Princeton Shopping Center.

Nawn is planning to open a new restaurant at 277 Witherspoon Street called Two Sevens. The 5,000-square-foot restaurant will be located in the former medical professional building next to the AvalonBay apartment complex. Fenwick representatives have not confirmed whether Main Street’s liquor license will be transferred to the new eatery.

The city will consider a proposal next week to move the stars to John Street as part of a project to turn the area into a pedestrian-friendly cultural corridor.

It's hoped that the move will help revitalize the 19-year-old attraction, giving the stars a defined starting point for the first time.

"Over the years, 173 stars have been inducted, and I think that in time it's lost its purpose," said Jeffrey Latimer, CEO of Canada's Walk of Fame.

"I think we have an incredible opportunity over the next number of years," he added.

The proposal is to bring Canada's Walk of Fame into the design and planning stage of the $50-million, multi-year project now underway on John Street between


Front and Stephanie Streets.

Along with moving the stars currently scattered around King and Simcoe streets, the proposal is also calling for the redevelopment of the southeast corner of King and John Street into a "symbolic heart" for the Walk of Fame, called John Street Square.

John Street Square

Coun. Joe Cressy, who represents the area, will bring the proposal to the city's economic development committee on July 9.

"In many ways the Walk of Fame in Toronto is celebrated but it's not as visible as it ought to be," said Cressy, who called the corner proposed for redevelopment "tucked away and hidden.

"Thatsoutheast corner could be so much more than it is now, so let's dream up some new ideas," he said.

While there are no firm plans yet, Latimer said the space could include everything from statues to monuments to handprints.

He envisions that it could also be used for induction ceremonies, similar to Mann's Chinese Theatre, often considered the hub of the Hollywood Walk of Fame in Los Angeles.

Canada's Walk of Fame is promising to privately fund the new development, if it is approved by the city.

Whether the stars move or not, the city intends to turn John into a "cultural corridor" linking the Art Gallery of Ontario to the Rogers Centre via Grange


Aaron Boogaard's admission about what happened the evening of May 13 was part of his guilty plea to interfering with the scene of a death, a gross misdemeanor. It also ends Boogaard's legal troubles in the wake of his brother's death after a night out partying in Minneapolis' Warehouse District.

In exchange for his plea to the remaining charge, Aaron Boogaard, who is from Regina, Saskatchewan, received a stayed sentence just shy of six months, meaning he will not go to jail as long as he stays out of trouble. The sentence was 178 days rather than 180 to ensure Aaron Boogaard is not deported.

He also received two years' probation and 80 hours of community service. Conditions of his probation include a chemical dependency evaluation and no alcohol ordrug use. He is allowed to travel. The former Wild draft pick joined training camp for the Wild's farm team, the Houston Aeros, two weeks ago.

Aaron Boogaard, 25, was charged in July with the gross misdemeanor and felony third-degree sale of a controlled substance. Prosecutors alleged he regularly doled out the addictive painkillers Derek Boogaaard, 28, took until he died from a toxic mix of alcohol and the painkiller Oxycodone. Last week, Howard threw out the felony charge for lack of probable cause because Aaron Boogaard did not buy the drugs for his brother, but was only holding them for him.

The Hennepin County Attorney's office will pursue no other charges against Aaron Boogaard in connection with the case, spokesman Chuck Laszewski said.

Family hopes for justice

Boogaard declined to comment


after the hearing. But his attorney, John Lundquist, said that Aaron and his family are relieved to have the case behind them.

"He acknowledged today that he made an error in judgment in doing so while suffering from extreme shock after coming home and finding that Derek had passed away," he said, adding that the Boogaard family hopes that those responsible for Derek's death will be brought to justice.

Laszewski said Minneapolis police presented no other cases for consideration of charges with regard to Derek Boogaard's death.

According to court documents, Aaron Boogaard said he gave Derek one or two pills before his brother went out with friends and drank at several bars on the evening of May 12. Derek Boogaard, who had been recently released from a California rehabilitation centerfor his addiction, was "very intoxicated" and eventually went to bed at 4 a.m. Aaron Boogaard and another brother, Ryan Boogaard, found him dead the following evening.

In a transcript of an interview with investigators, Aaron Boogaard admitted to flushing his brother's pills down the toilet. The pills, which he held for his brother to ensure he didn't overdose on them, included Oxycontin and Percocet. He explained why.

"I knew they were coming," Aaron Boogaard said of the police. "I knew what was gonna happen and ... I was just worried that I didn't want anybody thinking something like that of him, you know?"

The pills were shipped from all over the country, Aaron Boogaard told police, but he also purchased them from a friend in Minneapolis -- one his attorney

In five days the Georgian troops had been pushed out and Russia recognized South Ossetia’s independence. However, two years on the memory of war still lingers among the residents who suffered the short-lived but tragic conflict.

Doctor Georgiy Gogichaev works at a clinic in the center of the South Ossetian capital Tskhinval, which two years ago was the only medical facility in the city.

where the military agent had told the Indians, just the day before, their families would be safe. Among the captive women and children was a young girl, Monahsetah, whom he kept with him all winter and spring and who bore him a son in the fall—the Yellow Swallow along in the flight north.

In 1874 Custer was sent into the Black Hills where no white man had the treaty right to go. He was to locate gold and thereby stimulate financing for the stalled railroad illegally coming up the Yellowstone. In 1876 he attacked the great Indian camp on the Little Big Horn and died there. The first Indians to open fire on his column were four Cheyennes, one of them now with Little Wolf. Some of the Custerthe hoofs were naked on the hard, dry ground. Still he might be a scout or a messenger with word of the fleeing Cheyennes seen somewhere. He passed almost within finger reach of the woman, but he passed. When he was gone down toward the soldier camp, she ran, her skirts slapping against her hurrying legs.

Far from the hungry lodges and the soldiers, the people were met by small herds of horses. As many as possible of the women with their children and bundles were put upon them. Just a few pony drags had been made, only for the very old and the very sick. But first, as always, came the needs of the young men. They must get enough more horses for the rest if they were

But she was not at the fire and few had the joy for dancing tonight. Yet the camp was barely quiet when there was a cry of excitement near Big Foot's fire. There, where the lodge should have been, were two new horses tied in the dark, two extra ones, a great fortune in these times. People came from all around to see, but no one knew the new horses except young Charging Bear, the son of Big Foot who had seen Limpy catch them today and now offered them toward the family herd as the husband of the Broad-faced One, for the privileges and protection as son and brother.

Before them all the mother took the ropes in acceptance, without the coyclose, some already crossing the river in the pale moon of evening, many wagons following. Then Thin Elk and another came in from around Fort Sidney with two men of Little Chief's band, the Cheyennes being taken from the Yellowstone to the south, men who had been allowed out to hunt and had not returned. They said their troop escort was of Custer's Seventh Cavalry, some who crossed the river with Reno and attacked Sitting Bull's Hunkpapa circle and lost five of their company there.

"Ahh-h!" Old Bear, who saw that fighting, exclaimed in concern. They would kill the helpless ones.

They seemed friendly. Ben Clark, who had the Cheyenne wife down at Camp Supply, was the interpreter along. "He tried to say that nobody wants to go south, that

"Also, in the same year, before the Assumption of St Mary [August 15], King William went from Normandy into France with an army, and raided against his own lord, Philip the king, and killed a great part of his men, and burned down the town of Mantes and all the holy minsters which were inside the town....This thus done, the king William turned back to Normandy. He did a pitiful thing, and more pitiful happened to him. How more pitiful? He became ill and that afflicted him severely." Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Peterborough MS)

William died early on the morning of September 9, 1087 at the age of fifty-nine, having ruled England for twenty-one years and Normandy for thirty-one more. There are two accounts of his death: the


nearly contemporary De Obitu Willelmi by an anonymous monk of Caen, where the king was buried, and the Historia Ecclesiastica of Orderic Vitalis, which, even though it was written some sixty-five years later, is the more reliable. In Book VII, Orderic recounts William's death and burial.

Six weeks before, William had attempted to capture the French town of Mantes, where the king, "who was very corpulent, fell ill from exhaustion and heat." (William of Malmesbury, a contemporary of Orderic, adds in his Gesta Regum Anglorum that William, his stomach protruding over the forward part of his saddle, was injured when he was thrown against the pommel and his internal organs ruptured.) William retreated and returned to his capital at Rouen. His condition continued to worsen and, mindful of theafterlife to come, he "gave way to repeated sighs and groans." Begging those to pray for him, William confessed his sins and sought pardon. His treasure was distributed to the churches and the poor, "so that what I amassed through evil deeds may be assigned to the holy uses of good men." Gifts also were sent as penitence to the clergy at Mantes so that they might restore the churches William's army had burned.

Bishops, abbots, monks, and physicians all were in attendance. William's eldest son Robert was not there but four years earlier had joined his father's enemy, the king of France, in rebellion. Nor was Odo, the bishop of Bayeux, the king's half-brother, who still was in prison for treason. Entreated to forgive them both, William wearily


relented. Odo was released and Robert, in spite of his disloyalty, was invested with the duchy of Normandy. William Rufus, the younger son, was given custody of England and immediately left to claim his throne, while Henry received five thousand pounds in silver, which he hastened to secure, having it carefully weighed out to make certain that none of his appanage was denied him.

Having grown up in England as a boy, Orderic was aware of William's cruelty against the English, and may well have heard a first-hand account of his death. He has the dying man confess.

"I treated the native inhabitants of the kingdom with unreasonable severity, cruelly oppressed high and low, unjustly disinherited many, and caused the death of thousands by starvation and war, especially in Yorkshire....Inbody almost naked on the floor of the house."

It was determined that the body would be taken to Caen and buried in the church of St. Stephen (Étienne) in the Abbaye-aux-Hommes (the monastery which William had founded as penance for having married Matilda of Flanders, a distant cousin, against the wishes of the Pope). But all the royal dependents having left, there was no one to make preparations. It fell to a common knight to make the funeral arrangements and have the body conveyed down the Seine and then overland to Caen. There, as the abbot and his monks came to meet the bier, a fire broke out, destroying the greater part of the town. All rushed to extinguish it, leaving only the monks to complete the service.

William


was eulogized before the assembled bishops and abbots of Normandy, and a request made that, if ever he had done wrong, he was to be forgiven. Incredibly, someone loudly proclaimed that the church had been built on land forcibly acquired from his father when William was duke. "Therefore I lay claim to this land, and openly demand it, forbidding in God's name that the body of this robber be covered by earth that is mine or buried in my inheritance." The man was compensated sixty shillings for the place of burial, with Henry paying the rest later (one-hundred pounds, according to William of Malmesbury).

Then something even more macabre happened. The monk of Caen writes that William was "great in body and strong, tall in stature but not ungainly."When it came time to bury the heavy body, it was discovered that the stone sarcophagus had been made too short. There was an attempt to force the bloated corpse and, says Orderic, "the swollen bowels burst, and an intolerable stench assailed the nostrils of the by-standers and the whole crowd." Even the frankincense and spices of the censers was not enough to mask the smell, and the rites were hurriedly concluded.

William Rufus commissioned a memorial for his father, "a noble tomb, which to this day shines with gold and silver and precious stones in handsome style" with an inscription in gold. It remained undisturbed until 1522, when the tomb was opened on instructions from Rome. (Some nineteenth-century English accounts attribute the exhumation to the curiosity of a


French cardinal, thereby combining in one personage two national antipathies.) William's embalmed body was viewed, the stature of the king remarked upon, and then reinterred. Forty years later, his sarcophagus was despoiled by a Calvinist mob who suspected that it contained treasure and the remains scattered when it was discovered that it did not. Presumably, what could be gathered up was preserved and reburied under a new monument in 1642, but this was destroyed during the French Revolution and the bones thrown into the River Orne that runs through Caen.

A single thigh bone does survive, however, which now is covered by a marble slab in front of the altar in the Abbaye-aux-Hommes, placed there in 1987 to mark the nine-hundredth anniversary of William's death. Its Latin inscription, whichdates from the early nineteenth century, records simply that "Here lies the invincible William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy and King of England, founder of the house, who died in the year 1087." The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle provides a more poignant epitaph.

"He who was earlier a powerful king, and lord of many a land, he had nothing of any land but a seven-foot measure; and he who was at times clothed with gold and with jewels, he lay then covered over with earth."

Trichodectes canis survives by consuming flakes of skin and fluids produced by their canine hosts' skin. T. canis modified mouthparts including mandibles with no maxillary palps are used to scrape the hosts' skin to feed.

Role in the ecosystem
Trichodectes canis may cause the host to become stressed, resulting in an increased risk of contracting infectious diseases. T. canis causes stress by creating wounds on the surface of the hosts’ skin. The host also experiences hair loss as a result of increased host grooming in response to the itching feelings of the lice feeding. These problems may be magnified by colder environments. T. canis is also a known intermediate host for Dipylidium caninum, or canine tapeworm.


First Annual St. Lucia Day Festival in Toronto

TORONTO, ON – This summer Toronto will come alive with the sights, sounds, and tastes of St. Lucia.

The St Lucia Day Festival is the brainchild of Ross Cadasse, DJ Toxic and Candice Singh who have come together to produce this first annual event on July 22nd and 23rd July 2017. The festival will transform Parkshore Golf Club into a cultural experience with St Lucia’s rich heritage through food and entertainment.

The Festival is placed right after the St Lucia Carnival and one week before the start of Toronto Caribbean Festival (formerly known as Caribana) and will feature some of the top talents from St Lucia including the heavyweights Ricky T and De Ashanti who will headline the festival.

The quest for an airport in Western Virginia began in the late 1920s when Roanoke Mayor Charles D. Fox recruited experts to assist Roanoke officials in the planning of the city’s first aviation field. In 1929, the City of Roanoke leased 136 acres of land from the Cannaday family for an airport site. At this time, the airport was owned by the City of Roanoke, but operated by private investors, primarily Clayton Lemon and Frank Reynolds. The former Cannaday Farm location is where Roanoke Municipal Airport was established and, with a new name, still remains.

Throughout the early 1930s, many firsts occurred at the airport site, including construction of the first hangar and air traffic control tower. In 1934, the City of Roanoke purchased the leased land, as wellas some adjacent acreage, and American Airlines signed on as the first scheduled passenger airline providing service at the airport. American Airlines also began airmail service to Roanoke and Western Virginia. By the end of 1930s, the airport had become municipally operated, hired its first airport manager, built a paved runway and erected an additional hangar. Roanoke Municipal Airport was expanding, allowing Western Virginia to grow with the times.

By 1940, the airport boasted a total of 321 pilots and 21 privately owned planes—more than any other airport in the state. This was also the year Roanoke Municipal Airport qualified as a National Defense Project, making federal funds eligible for airport use. This new classification brought about many improvements, including the dedication of Woodrum Field in 1941 (named after


U.S. Congressman Clifton Woodrum, who assisted in the airport being chosen as a National Defense Project), the creation of an airfield lighting system and the addition of administrative buildings. Eastern Airlines also began service to the area.

Thanks to its military connections, the Airport’s operations outnumbered those of LaGuardia, Philadelphia and Washington National airports combined. By 1947, Roanoke Municipal Airport had experienced its first jet landing – a Lockheed F-80 – and in 1948 Piedmont Airlines became a service provider. As the airport’s demand increased and airline requirements became stricter throughout the 1950s and 1960s, plans for expansion were discussed and made. In 1953 a new, modern terminal was completed. Over the next two decades many construction projects were undertaken, creating the airport seen today.

In May 1979, the airportcelebrated 50 years of successful operations. A 50th anniversary celebration took place featuring restored military aircraft of the World War II and the Korean War eras, parachute jumps by the Navy’s Shooting Stars and aerobatic performances by pilots Chuck Cannady and Richard Perdue.

The name of Roanoke Municipal Airport/Woodrum Field was officially changed in 1983 to Roanoke Regional Airport/Woodrum Field. Throughout this decade, many changes were made to make the airport more convenient and easier to navigate. Upgrades were provided to the terminal, aircraft ramps, restaurants, parking lots and other facilities.

In 1987, ownership of Roanoke Regional Airport was transferred to the newly formed Roanoke Regional Airport Commission. The Commission immediately began to market the airport, attract additional airline services and further upgrade the facilities. Construction on the current terminal


began in 1987 and was completed in late 1989, making the Roanoke Regional Airport an aesthetically appealing, easy to navigate and thoroughly modern facility.

During the next fifteen years, the Commission undertook the construction of about $56.7 million in airfield improvements, resulting in a virtually brand new airfield for this eighty-five year old facility.

Beginning January 1, 2014 Roanoke's airport became known as Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport. The new name reflects the growing economic connection between, and interdependence of, the citizens and businesses of the Roanoke and the New River Valleys.

Things really are taking off at the Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport.TAIPEI -- Chip and display makers in virus-hit Wuhan are being given special permission to continue operating and even bypass quarantine guidelines in order to avoid major production disruptions, the Nikkei Asian Review has learned, as the government continues to push its national tech ambitions despite the epidemic.

Flash memory maker Yangtze Memory Technologies, China's hope for creating a rival to Samsung Electronics, SK Hynix, Kioxia and Micron, received special approval from local and central governments to continue to ship products out of the city and has been receiving materials for production since the start of February, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter told the Nikkei Asian Review.

At Yangtze Memory, only 40% to 50% of its employees remained at work during the New Year break, while most of the remainder are still struggling to return.

It is common industry practice for chip and display facilities around the world to keep production running year round, with a certain number of staff always on siteof about 300 million yuan.

"Since sealing off the city of Wuhan, the advance in the project was forced to slow down, limited by transportation shutdown and epidemic prevention demands," the company said. "The costs of transportation, logistics and labor have correspondingly risen, imposing relatively large influence on both upstream and downstream manufacturers in the sector which will add operational pressures to the project later on."

Mendoza (Argentina) (AFP) - Two Roman Catholic priests were each sentenced to more than 40 years in prison in Argentina for the sexual abuse, including rape, of deaf children, a court in the western city of Mendoza ruled Monday.

Argentine priest Horacio Corbacho was sentenced to 45 years in jail, while a 42-year sentence was imposed on Italian Nicola Corradi for the abuse of some 20 children at the Provolo Institute for deaf and hearing-impaired children between 2004 and 2016.

The trial, one of several involving the school that have yet to begin, has sent shockwaves through the Catholic Church in the homeland of Pope Francis.

The court said the sentences took into account the aggravating circumstances that the priests were responsible for the children's wellbeing, as well as the factthat the victims were minors living at the boarding school.

The victims were children and adolescents aged between four and 17.

The school's gardener, Armando Gomez, was also jailed for 18 years for sexual abuse.

Neither of the three defendants made any response when their sentences were read out. Corradi, the eldest, had been brought into court on a wheelchair.

Outside the court a group of young people waited for the ruling, holding up banners which said "Support for the Survivors of Provolo."

Some burst into wild celebrations when the sentence was read out in court. Some of the victims' mothers simply embraced and wept.

- School shut down -

Corbacho, 59, and 83-year-old Corradi had been held in preventive detention since their arrest three years ago on charges of child sex abuse at the


school.

Apart from the gardener, several other staff at the school were taken into custody after the allegations of abuse first came to light in 2016, and the institute, 1,000 kilometers west of Buenos Aires, was shut down.

They included a 42-year-old Japanese nun, Kosaka Kumiko, who was arrested later after surrendering to authorities. She was charged with complicity with the two priests.

Story continues

The trial began on August 5 and heard evidence from 13 victims from the institute during in camera hearings.

In a fast-tracked trial last year, a former altar boy, Jorge Bordon, 50, received a 10-year sentence after pleading guilty to the sexual abuse of five children.

Another of the defendants was deemed mentally incompetent by the court for being disabled and having suffered sexual abuse himself as a child.

Fourteenmore defendants are facing trial in two other separate cases involving the school.

Corradi arrived in Argentina in 1970 from the Provolo Institute in Verona, Italy, and took over the institution in the South American country, initially in La Plata near Buenos Aires, and then, from 1998, in Mendoza.

- Other cases -

Prosecutors have investigated other cases of abuse at the La Plata branch of the Provolo Institute which will also go to trial.

"Life was very bad in there," one of the victims, 18-year-old Ezequiel Villalonga, told AFP at the beginning of the trial, highlighting the vulnerability of the children at the Mendoza school.

"We didn't learn anything. We didn't have any communication," Villalonga said of the school, set up to educate children with impaired hearing or speech disorders.

TheResearchers find wreckage of WWII-era USS Indianapolis

Researchers say they have located the wreckage of a World War II-era US warship that played a critical role in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima before being struck by Japanese torpedoes.

The sinking of the USS Indianapolis remains the US Navy's single worst loss at sea. The fate of its crew - nearly 900 were killed, many by sharks, and just 316 survived - was one of the Pacific war's more horrible tales.

The expedition crew of Research Vessel Petrel, which is owned by Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, said it located the wreckage of the Indianapolis on the floor of the north Pacific Ocean, more than 5,500 metres below the surface, the US Navy said in a news release on Saturday.

"To be able to


honour the brave men of the USS Indianapolis and their families through the discovery of a ship that played such a significant role in ending World War II is truly humbling," Allen said.

The Indianapolis, with 1,196 sailors and Marines on board, was sailing the Philippine Sea between Guam and Leyte Gulf when two torpedoes from a Japanese submarine struck just after midnight on July 30, 1945. It sank in 12 minutes.

There was no time to send a distress signal, and four days passed before a bomber on routine patrol happened to spot survivors in the water. By the time rescuers arrived, a combination of exposure, dehydration, drowning and constant shark attacks had left only one-fourth of the ship's original number alive.

Over the years, numerous books recounted the ship'sdisaster and its role in delivering key components of what would become the atomic bomb "Little Boy" to the island of Tinian, the take-off point for the bomber Enola Gay's mission to Hiroshima in August 1945.

The Navy statement said a key to finding the Indianapolis came in 2016 when Richard Hulver, a historian with the Naval History and Heritage Command, determined a new search area. Hulver's research identified a naval landing craft that had recorded a sighting of the Indianapolis the day before it sank. The research team developed a new search area.

The Navy said the 13-person expedition team on the R/V Petrel was surveying the Indianapolis site.

Savouring southern comfort

Leicester’s European Champions Cup semi-final with Racing 92 in Nottingham on Sunday may be an Anglo-French affair but it is laced with a significant southern hemisphere twist. The two three-quarter lines alone promise to take in three of the four Rugby Championship countries and all three of the Pacific Nations.

It is not just clubs who quaff southern comfort in the professional age: three of the four home unions are coached by New Zealanders while England are coached by an Australian. It has acted, in the English game’s case at least, as an antidote to the focus on defence ushered in when recruiting coaches from rugby league became vogue.

“The southern hemisphere influence has been positive in England,” said the Leicester three-quarter Peter Betham, an Australian international whobe their top scorer. They turned to the former New Zealand centre Aaron Mauger, who finished his playing career at Welford Road, who was last summer appointed the head coach on a three-year contract. This was a club that had long embodies the virtues of English rugby, strong set-pieces, strong defence and an accurate kicking game, strangling opponents rather than stretching them.

That has changed and if Leicester’s results this season have been those of a team in a state of evolution, they are now as dangerous in possession five metres from their own line as well as from the opposition’s. Mauger is converting the England centre Manu Tuilagi from an outside-centre to a 12 and he has moved Betham, who before arriving at the club had never started


minutes at a time on and off during the week and he makes sure we do them in the team sessions.”

Racing have their own southern hemisphere influence through Joe Rokocoko and Juan Imhoff on the wings, the centre Casey Laulala and the New Zealand outside-half Dan Carter, a former Super rugby and international team-mate of Mauger’s. “They have a lot of firepower behind,” said Betham. “You have to keep one eye on Carter and the other on the rest of them. Carter was a good general against Toulon [in the quarter-final] in the way he directed Racing. He puts his teams in the right areas at the right times and it seems like he has so much time on his hands when other 10s probably get frazzled andToday’s interview is with Aaron Vega who is the Kitman for Saint Louis Football Club who play their football in the United Soccer League (USL).

The second one involved a player wearing the wrong shorts. So the guys have their game shorts but also have a pair of non-numbered warm up shorts. Well one player had forgotten to change into his numbered shorts after the warm up. It’s a fine in the league if a player plays in non-numbered shorts. I noticed as the national anthem was playing and so eagerly waited for it to end so that I could run to the locker room and get him his proper shorts.Railroad merged with the Los Angeles-Santa Monica Railroad Company and the Los Angeles, Hermosa Beach and Redondo Railway Company.  The new name after this merger was the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad of California, but everyone still just called it the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad. The Los Angeles-Santa Monica Railroad Company was incorporated on December 2, 1902.

On March 19, 1906, an agreement was reached to sell all the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad lines for $6 million to the Pacific Electric Railway, owned by Henry E. Huntington. PE continued operating its electric railway lines in Pasadena, Los Angeles, and the Westside. By 1911 the Los Angeles Pacific Railroad's steam locomotive lines were divested by PE.

- She and her family are wealthy, while I and mine are not
- She is an adept manipulator who presents well and compellingly, and is of the politically correct gender
- She has no moral compunctions whatsoever, there is nothing beneath which she will not stoop in her quest to prove that she is the perfect parent and that I am human garbage
- She has 'standing' in the community due to her family ties to the local Crown Attorney's office, and her employment by the school board as a teacher, and her personal friendships with the local police

I lived with my ex for twenty years, a truly unpleasant experience in many ways but Ihad absurdly naive ideas about commitment, and we raised three children together for 13 of those years. I was highly involved with my children, working from home and caring for them most of those years while my ex was the primary breadwinner.

Suddenly, in early 2012, my ex became convinced that I had vast sums of money I was keeping from her, and launched a campaign to emulate her new friends and entitle herself to a big fancy home like theirs by seizing my children, withholding them from me, and manipulating the "family" court into forcibly extorting me.

During the past four years, she has abducted the children multiple times, abandoned hundreds of thousands of dollars in joint debt (which she incurred over my protests) to me alone, successfully completely


according to my eldest's psychiatrist, he is near psychosis and should be admitted "to the unit", yet my ex insists there is nothing wrong with him. My middle daughter has been entirely deprived of me as a parent, and my half of her family, for over three years, while the other half of her family, including the retired doctor, the crown attorney, the judge's widow, and many teachers, all cheer her on. She has been referred to the CAS by counsellors who were alarmed at her level of stress and anxiety, but of course the CAS does the same as everyone else, "abide by the expressed wishes of the child", as if the child was not in fact a victim of severe emotional and psychological abuse.

Metro transit planners also apparently anticipated the increase in density — opening a transit station in Uptown several years ago as the hub for the Hennepin bus routes that serve downtown and the east-west Lake Street routes that serve the area. Adams thinks those routes can easily handle any extra demand arising from the new housing.

Developers also play a role in preventing or reducing traffic congestion in neighborhoods like Uptown, said Brent Rogers, vice president of development for Minneapolis-based Greco Real Estate Development. Three years ago, Greco opened the first of the neighborhood’s new developments, the 242-unit Blue, and it is building the 216-unit Flux at 2838 Fremont Ave.

Rogers said developers make their biggest contribution by locating projects near major

Kapow 2012: Lightning Strike Presents #1

Kapow 2012 was the first place Irish comic book imprint Lightning Strike chose to premiere its new anthology! Conventions are becoming well known as places for major headline grabbing announcements to come out, but there are other newsworthy events that often get lost in the mix. One such event was the release of Lightning Strike Presents #1. The collection originally began as a way to help promote projects from up and coming creators of Irish descent, but as the anthology gained traction the scope widened and the goals became more ambitious. Contributions to the comic now also come from Scotland, England and The United States of America as well! A late addition to the book came from Pete Hernandez III, an independent artistof a heating or air conditioning system would be decreased. Conversely, if only small amounts of air are allowed to leave the cabin, the performance of the heating and air conditioning system will be diminished.
It is known to equip a vehicle with an air exhaust system having an air exhauster disposed in an aperture of the vehicle body. A typical air exhauster comprises a plurality of outboard actuating flaps and a plurality of air passages. These flaps naturally rest in a position to block or restrict the air passages and can pivot to remove the restriction to the air passages. As the pressure in the cabin increases, a pressure gradient is created between the cabin and the outside air. A substantial pressure gradient will cause air to flow


through the air passages, thereby causing the flaps to pivot outboard to open. Once the pressure gradient is diminished, the flaps, by gravity, will pivot closed. This system has proved to be adequate for air exhaust systems for motor vehicles.
Exhauster systems normally fit in an aperture in the body of a vehicle with a perimeter of the exhauster system sealing against the vehicle body. However, vehicle body tolerances and exhauster tolerances can lead to conditions whereby the seal is not formed properly. This condition will allow water to seep between the exhauster and the vehicle body through the aperture and into the vehicle. The inherent nature of the aforementioned outboard actuating flaps will also allow some water to pass through the aperture as well. There is a need,who have promised to provide after-sale services, it said.

The ships are key to consolidating close relations between China-Pakistan, protecting Pakistan?s sea transportation and pushing forward the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and Belt and Road Initiative, it said.

The CPEC project will link the Pakistani city of Gwadar to China's Xinjiang via a vast network of highways and railways. The project was launched in 2015 with USD 46 billion but later the investment increased to USD 55 billion.


on August 28,1963. This dream was more of a vision. For not far away- just two years earlier-on August 4, 1961- Obama was born to give a concrete form to this dream 45 years later which for the blacks almost an elusive dream even a few moments before he was declared the election winner last November 4. Now it’s reality; Obama becomes the first elected black President. Racial barrier to White House has been crossed, broken down. For Obama it was everything but an easy task. It took hard work and fluid intelligence for Obama from the very beginning to this symbolic victory. A graduate from the Harvard Law School, it is his education, not only emotion and passion, that brought that needed Liberation of the black Americans.Education as light of the people- this was probably what Rizal had in mind when he wrote this line, or when he was in America as he described what he saw in this country in his letter to Mariano Ponce on July 27, 1888, (25 years after Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation) :

“I visited the largest cities of America with their big buildings, electric lights, and magnificent conceptions. Undoubtedly America is a great country, but it still has many defects. There is no real civil liberty. In some states, the Negro cannot marry a white woman, nor a Negress a white man. Because of their hatred for the Chinese, other Asiatics, like the Japanese, being confused with them, are likewise disliked by the ignorant Americans. The Customs are excessively strict.


However, as they say rightly, American offers a home too for the poor who like to work. There was, moreover, much arbitrariness. For example, when we were in quarantine.
They placed us under quarantine, in spite of the clearance given by the American Consul, of not having had a single case of illness aboard, and of the telegram of the governor of Hong Kong declaring that port free from epidemic.
We were quarantined because there were on board 800 Chinese and, as elections were being held in San Francisco, the government wanted to boast that it was taking strict measures against the Chinese to win votes and the people’s sympathy. We were informed of the quarantine verbally, without specific duration. However, on the same day of our arrival, they unloadedmost palpable proof of change in the American perception. And Obama broke all the records and brought a quantum of solace for millions of Americans- and billions of people around the world. After all the paranoia brought about by the traumatic events that happened the world over in the past decades and the over-all negative effects of the unpopular Bush’s administration, it is interesting to observe that humanity did not fall into apathy and total disillusion. The way that the world favored Obama in all the continents and reacted with euphoria and sense of release is a sign of good mental health for the world population. The archetypal need for a good and unifying leader, in short, for a hero, is still intact. On this historic day, not


[Development of the neural apparatus of blood vessels in the common frog in ontogenesis].
The neural apparatus of the aorta, abdominal vein, ischiatic, femoral, pulmonary and caudal vessels has been studied histochemically in tadpoles (the 30th-50th stages of development) and in 1-year-old animals. It has been stated for the first time that in the frog, a representative of the Amphibia class, like in mammals and birds, formation of the adrenergic apparatus in various vessels does not take place simultaneously. For instance, the first adrenergic fibers in the hind limb vessels appear much earlier than in other arteries and veins. The process of the adrenergic innervation development and its completion in vessels of various areas is taking its course differently. In the aorta and in the abdominal vein the formationof the adrenergic plexus develops as increasing density and amount of the mediator in the adrenergic fibers and is completed with maturation in an adult animal. In contrast to these vessels, maturation of the adrenergic apparatus in the hind limb arteries and veins takes place during a shorter interval and is completed at the end of metamorphosis AchE-containing fibers are revealed in tadpoles, as well as in a mature frog only in the aortal arc and in the pulmonary artery. In these vessels the development of cholinergic innervation leaves behind that of the adrenergic innervation, as it does in the vessels of Mammalia, and the human subject.


years, that he had known plaintiff in error for five or six years and had purchased narcotics from him prior to January 24, 1953, the date of the alleged offense in this case. He testified that he had been picked up by the Chicago police as a larceny suspect and on January 23 he was turned over to officers Sims and Bryson of the Narcotics Bureau; that he told them he could purchase narcotics from plaintiff in error and at their request he telephoned him asking for two sixteenths of heroin and was told by plaintiff in error that he had only one on hand. On the following day he called again and was told by plaintiff in error that he could get it and to meet himat a designated place. He stated the police officers then called two Federal narcotic agents and after making a buy and an arrest at another place, they went to plaintiff in error's home. Neal stated that when they arrived near plaintiff in error's home the officers searched him, then gave him three tens and one five-dollar bill, the serial numbers of which were taken down by the officers. Neal then went into plaintiff in error's house, was sent out to buy some coca cola, and when he returned, plaintiff in error handed him a package wrapped in a newspaper which contained two cellophane packages containing a white powderish substance which he delivered to officer Bryson; that when he got the package he gave plaintiff in error the money


given to him by the officers. Upon cross-examination, Neal admitted that he wanted to help himself, that he was in custody on a larceny charge, and that he gave plaintiff in error only twenty-five of the thirty-five dollars given to him by the officers, that he lied to plaintiff in error in telling him that was all the money he had, and that he returned the ten dollars to the officers when they asked for it.
Officer Sims corroborated the testimony of Neal as to the telephone conversations, the plan and preparation for *612 the purchase, and Neal's entering plaintiff in error's home, going for the coca cola, and returning with the package. He stated that he then went into the building, knocked on the door, no one responded,he announced himself and then kicked the door down. Plaintiff in error was talking on the telephone, was placed under arrest and his person searched. In the money found on his person were two tens and one five-dollar bill with the serial numbers on the paper kept by the Federal agents. He further testified that plaintiff in error then told one of the Federal agents that he did not receive the money for the purchase of narcotics but got it from a fellow in exchange for some one-dollar bills.
A finger-print expert testified that he found a print on the glassine envelopes identical with the print of plaintiff in error's left middle finger, and that no two identical prints from different persons have ever been found. Plaintiff in error's


counsel stipulated that if the government's chemist who analyzed the substance in those envelopes were present he would testify that they contained heroin hydrochloride, a derivative of opium, to wit, heroin.
Plaintiff in error, testifying in his own behalf, stated that Neal came to his home on January 24, 1953, and gave him $25 in repayment of a loan, that he asked for a drink and went after the coca cola, had a drink and left; that he was talking on the telephone when the officer entered, stated he was under arrest and asked for "that money the boy got the stuff for;" that the officer took the money from him and compared the numbers; that he showed him the package, would not let him touch it, but thathe got his hand on the package while it was laying on the table. He denied selling Neal any narcotics. He admitted on cross-examination that Neal called him about narcotics but stated he told him he didn't have any.
To sustain his claim that the court admitted and considered evidence of the "marked money" after its supression *613 on motion, plaintiff in error in his brief sets out a series of questions which his counsel propounded to the United States Treasury agent Durkin upon cross-examination. In answering these questions, the agent stated that plaintiff in error had the money in his possession, that he had a slip of paper with the serial numbers on it, and that he and plaintiff in error compared the numbers. The court then asked

Olivet Nazarene College of Kan-kakee,
Illinois was host last week
to the American Association of
Evangelical Students. The confer-ence
held on Thursday and Fri-day,
October 27 and 28, was at-tended
by three delegates from
Bethel College.
Chief consideration for the con-ference
was the theme "Our Chris-tian
Heritage." Dr. Gordon Clark,
and Dr. Martin Marty were two
prominent guests at the regional
conference who addressed them-selves
to the relationship of his-tory
and the Christian.
Dr. Clark in a one hour ad-dress
spoke to the delegates on
"The Marxist Theory of


History,"
of the delegates represented Bible
colleges, with a sizable represen-tation
from Christian liberal arts
schools.
Representatives from Bethel
were Jim Keim, Linda C. Olson,
and Jonathan P. Larson. The
delegation left the campus Wed-nesday
and returned Saturday.
Sidelights to the conference
were the performance of Frostiana
by the Olivet Orpheus, Viking, and
Trebel choirs, and an evening din-ner
concluding the meetings.
Business confronting the con-ference
included a discussion of
the purposes of the organization,
the ideological stance of the or-ganization,
and the increased de-sire
for exchange of ideas between
representative schools.
The Conference Board of Publi-cations
voted this summer to offer
a fifty dollar award to that stu-dent

creative writing during the year.
The entries must be submitted
to the English department of the
College by March 1, 1967. They
will be judged by the editorial staff
of Harvest Publications and the
winning entry will be published in
the appropriate HarvestPublica-tions
periodical. The award will
be made at the Bethel Honors

The conference was punctuated
by numerous discussion sessions
designed to analyze current cam-pus
problems and provide a forum
for the free flow of student ideas
and reactions. Topics of discussion
included, "The Place of Student
Opposition on Christian Campuses,"
"The Effect of Campus Publication

(Last of a two-part series)
TORONTO — "I've always thought a man had
an obligation to go fight where his country tells him
to," says Corporal Ron McIntosh, a career soldier
with the Canadian Army. "But it seems to me that
the United States hasn't given its boys much of an
explanation on why they should gothe city of
Toronto in the town's posh new city hall. "What's
the saying? What you don't know doesn't hurt you,"
he says whimsically.
A spokesman for the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police explains that the draft status of U.S. im-migrants
is not a matter of Canadian concern.
And the Toronto Globe and Mail wrote in a
recent editorial, "The granting of political asylum
is an accepted principle in all civilized countries.
Canada cannot decently breach this principle."
At the University of Toronto admissions director
E.M. Davidson says the draft status of American
applicants is not a factor in admission to the school.
"We admit exclusively on academic and behavioral
grounds."
Davidson has noticed no upsurge of applicants
from American men to the school. In fact, the num-ber
of U.S. male applicants has fallen off in recent
months. "But that's probably because the draft is
draining off a lot
