Go originated in China 3,000 years ago and has been played for centuries, mostly in China, Japan and South Korea. The rules are simple – two players take turns placing black or white stones on a square board with a 19x19 grid. Whoever captures the most territory wins.

But the strategies needed to secure victory are complex, and there are said to be more possible move configurations than atoms in the universe.

Considered one of the greatest Go players of the modern era, Lee started playing at the age of five and turned pro just seven years later.

Also known as SBJ (Sukhoi Business Jet), the latest delivery is the third aircraft of the type to join the Royal Thai Air Force fleet. The SSJ100s have been operated as VIP transporters by Thailand since July 2016, following SCAC’s successful competitive tender in 2014.

The aircraft are operated domestically and internationally on behalf of the country’s leaders, including top officials, members of the Thai royal family and the high command of the country’s armed forces.

The two original Thai SBJ interiors featured three cabin layouts – a four-passenger VIP zone, a six-passenger


business-class zone and a standard area with a seating capacity of up to 50 passengers. The newly delivered aircraft (MSN 95132) is reportedly configured differently. It will seat 73 passengers, with the cabin divided into two zones, with one believed to be a combination of VIP and business class seats.

SCAC says that since 2016 when the Royal Thai Air Force became the first foreign customer for the business-version of the SSJ100, a number of other customers have followed suit, including Russia’s business aviation operator RusJet; the President of the Russian Federation’s special-purpose Rossiya flight detachment; the EMERCOM flight detachment; and Kazakhstan’s Kazakhmys metal Corp (operated by Comlux KZ), bringing to 10 the number of SBJs currently in operation worldwide.

SCAC says that work is in progress to further enhancewhen the process of globalization pushes national economies into a world of learning and innovation. The reason is that the institutional framework for market exchange favors knowledge exchange in a globalizing economic system. This paper argues how East Asian science cities such as Tsukuba Science City in Japan, Daedeok Innopolis in South Korea, Hsinchu Science-based Industrial Park in Taiwan, and Zhongguancun Science Park in China have been developed in order to create technology innovation as well to contribute to national and regional economic growth. Moreover, it also focuses on their competitiveness and the further development strategy that aims to become global science cities. Finally, it also discusses whether their competitiveness as innovative clusters is based on global or local levels. (shrink)

This paper examines the possibility of parenting as a queer practice. Examining definitions of “queer” as resistant to presumptions and practices of reprosexuality and repro-narrativity (Michael Warner), bourgeouis norms of domestic space and family time (Judith Halberstam), and policies of reproductive futurism (Lee Edelman), I argue that queer parenting is possible. Indeed, parenting that resists practices of normalization are, in part, realized by certain types of postmodern families. However, fully actualizing the possibility of parenting queerly—and thus teaching our children the (...) values of non-normativity--requires engaging political struggles for distributive justice. These are, thus, the struggles that should be at the center of queer politics, rather than the current struggles for gay marriage and homoparental rights.at least four investigations on Minister Ryan Zinke. Last week, the investigators issued two documents against subjects bound to the probes, two persons who were familiar with the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to speak publicly.

The commotion over the Inspector General of Interior came The office sent its last report to Capitol Hill and examined Zinke's trip and that of his wife Lola. The bureau concluded that staff members of the Lolita Prison Law Office and other persons traveling with Minister Zinke in government vehicles "approved," although domestic policy prohibited this practice. Zinke also confirmed to the investigators that "his staff had investigated the implications of making them a volunteer" and other employees expressed concerns that this could be seen as


a way to cover their travel expenses.

Zinke "denied that it was an effort to circumvent the call to replace the DOI for their trip," the report said.

Critics of the administration said the report, which also revealed that taxpayers paid $ 25,000 to send an unarmed security detail with the zinc on their vacation to Turkey summer, documenting a breach of public confidence.

"This report shows Minister Zinc's stubborn determination to use his office for personal gain, even going so far as to lie to Interior's chief attorney to justify his wife's journey," said Jen Rokala, executive director the Center for Western Priorities, an interest group. "Secretary Zinke owes the Americans an apology – and a refund."

Top White House officials said they had not been alerted to Tufts, a Queensattorney who worked on President Trump's campaign and served as Deputy Secretary of the HUD since December ,

"Ms. Tufts is not hired by the department, and no decision has ever been made to relocate her to Interior," Agency spokeswoman Heather Swift said in a statement on Thursday.

And in a flashy public reprimand from another Cabinet agency led by Zinke's close friend, Swift wrote that the HUD "sent out an email with 100 percent false information." She confirmed that Deputy Inspector General Mary Kendall, who has been in charge of the office for nine years, is still on the job] In an e-mail on Friday with the subject line "A Fond Farewell," Carson wrote: "With mixed feelings, I announce that Suzanne Israel Tufts, our assistant secretary for administration, has


decided to leave the HUD to become Acting Inspector General of the Interior Ministry. "

" I am extremely grateful to Suzanne for her services to the HUD and I am confident that she will be in will succeed in their new role, "Carson added.

Swift said that Tufts of the W House "considered a potential candidate" for a position in the Inspectorate General. Swift did not say which position. "At the end of the day, she was not offered a job at Interior."

HUD officials did not respond to a request for comment. Tufts could not be reached.

The turnaround came after criticism from legislators on Capitol Hill and watchdog groups of something that seemed to be an unorthodox agreement between the agencies to mandate a political appointee to oversee Kendallcame. Former President Barack Obama nominated them for the position of Inspector General, but the Senate never voted it. Tufts is a former adviser who has no experience as an investigator and would have headed one of the most active Inspector General of the Government.

Kendall is conducting at least four investigations into Zinc's behavior, including his involvement in a Montana land deal and its activities in connection with the bid of two Connecticut tribes to open a new casino

In an interview, the deputy said Home Secretary David Bernhardt said he had built up a good working relationship with Kendall, but that departmental head scouting for someone could nominate the president to serve on a permanent basis.

"Mary would agree that it would be good for the Inspector General to


General Inspectorate Act of 1978 states that candidates should be elected "without consideration" for political affiliation and solely on the basis of integrity and proven accounting skills, Auditing, financial analysis, law, management analysis, public administration or investigations.

Michael Bromwich, who served as Inspector General in the Ministry of Justice from 1994 until 1999, as well as director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management from 2010 to 2011, called Tufts Rental "Most Unusual." [1965] 9028] "The statute states that This is an impartial position among political leaders alone, and it must be permanently staffed by those with an appropriate background, "said Bromwich." It is a real violation of the protocol, someone who has only one qualification, political to the Trump administration

Apart from the fact that she has a lawdegree, it is unclear what specific aspect of Tufts qualifies her for the job of the Inspector General. Her CV, written by the American Oversight Interest Group on the Freedom of Information Act, shows that she volunteered for "Trump-Pence 2017" in the training and deployment of lawyers on the committed to this area.

Tufts wrote that she collaborated with the Republicans National Lawyers Association on behalf of the Trump-Pence campaign in Philadelphia and New York State. In addition, according to her CV, she was "responsible for the recruitment and training of 20% of the lawyers who were sent into the field."

Rep. Raul Grijalva (Ariz.), The top Democrat in the House's Natural Resources Committee, asked why the government changed its story on the appointment of Tufts.

it's obvious that a woman is about to give birth, she has physical signs that she's about to give birth, would that still be a point at which she could request an abortion if she was so certified?" Majority Leader Todd Gilbert (R.) asked Tran during her presentation. "She's dilating."

Tran said that is a decision for the woman and her doctor to make. Gilbert then asked her to answer specifically whether the bill would permit an abortion right before the infant was born.

Naomi King, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.'s sister-in-law, was attacked in a carjacking attempt outside her retirement home in Atlanta, according to police.

King, who is in her 80s, told investigators that she was driving into the front entrance of Big Bethel Village retirement community Friday when two people came up to her car and one told her to get out, police said. When King refused, one of the suspects hit her in the mouth, they said.

Atlanta police said King, the widow of King's younger brother, A.D. King, suffered minor injuries. A post on the website of her late brother's foundationsaid Saturday that she had been released from the hospital.

King and her husbandwere also significantly involved in the civil rights movement.

The great grandmother told NBC station WXIA that she "wasn't scared" during the assault because she has faith on her side. When the assailants fled, King said, she "said a quick prayer and thanked God that my injuries was at a minimum."

The A.D. King Foundation's post said King and other residents are urging National Church Residency, which owns Big Bethel Village, to increase security in light of the attack. National Church Residency did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Atlanta police said that the suspects fled the scene and that the attack is under investigation.

Those were chilling words for Jose Aguiluz, a 27-year-old operating room nurse at Adventist Hospital in suburban Washington, D.C.

"His rhetoric was very negative during the election, but now he has to contemplate and analyze reality," Aguiluz says.

Aguiluz came to the U.S. at age 15 for a lifesaving surgery after a car accident in his native Honduras. After the surgery, he and most of his family stayed illegally. Then, in 2014, President Obama issued an executive order that provided two-year deportation deferments for young immigrants like Aguiluz. Trump says he will rescind that order.

Besides, as the relationshipIn 1917, under pressure from the Jewish community, the British govern-ment issued the "Balfour Declaration". This document pledged British assistance in the establishment of a Jewish national homeland in Palestine.

The outbreak of World War I divided the Zionist movement. Its headquarters had been in Germany. Now the Zionist movement was divided with centers in England Germany and the United States. Until the outbreak of the war the British goal had been to ensure the unity of the Ottoman Empire. Once the war began the British began to set their eyes on parts of the empire.

The spokesman of the Zionist movement in Great Britain was Chaim Weizmann, a Russian émigré who had studied in Germany and was noted chemist. He charmed the British leadership into considering the idea of


creating a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Many years later Sir Ronald Starrs described Weizmann as:

“ A brilliant talker with an unrivaled gift for the lucid exposition as a speaker almost frightening convincing, even in English. In Hebrew, and even more in Russian. Overwhelming with all that dynamic percussiveness which Slavs usually devote to love and Jews to business, nourished, trained and concentrated upon the accomplishments of Zion. ”

Weizmann ability to influence the British government was helped by the contributions that Weizmann made to the British war effort by developing a key chemical for the British war effort. More importantly as the British advanced on Palestine the postwar future of the area was of concern to the British government. Lloyd George and Balfour believed that an alliance with theJewish people would strengthen the British claim on Palestine. They felt they would gain the support not only of the British Jewish community, but the American Jewish community, where Zionist had become more prominent. Louis Brandeis the leader of the American Zionist movement had been appointed to the Supreme Court. The deliberations on issuing the declaration were taken place among people who were naturally sympathetic to Zionist aspiration.

On November 2 the British government issued the declaration supporting the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine.

Sheikh Ottoman el Hazuri was a Druze opposed to war. His grave
is on a hill surrounded by some very old oak trees.
There's a legend about why those trees have survived while others in the area have been cut down.

So Who are the Druze?
There are a lot of secrets surrounding this community.Even for themselves: most Druze aren't even allowed to read their Holy Book.

To sum up, the Druze are monotheists. They believe in God but recognize other prophets than Judaism, Islam or Christianity.

They have their own Holy Books, which not everyone may read: some of them are reserved to the enlighted of the community.

When we arrived at the ER with her, she had been stooling (diarrhea) for half an hour straight, and her heart rate was all over the place.

The dr's brought their heads down, looking to the ground and said "that's incompatible with life...she is dying and won't make it through


this". I'd heard incompatible with life before, the first time, to describe Kayli (because she has Trisomy 18). This time, the dr's were saying her condition was incompatible with life. I told the dr's I understand it isn't looking good, but that they needed to TRY to help her! She's survived "incompatible with life" before! The nurse who never left Kayli's side, had already put the paddles on her, and explained what they could do to try to help Kayli. The nurses and dr's said it is unlikely to survive levels in the 7 range, and they've never seen someone in the 8's range survive..... Kayli was in V-tach (the top of her heart stopped beating, and the bottom quivered) and was expected to go into cardiac arrestand die before our eyes on the ER table..... The dr's gave her some meds, but they weren't working. Kayli's levels were still too high, and weren't coming down. The dr's said they can give one more round of meds, but that was all they could do for Kayli. She will die. There is nothing more they would be able to do for her. That's when I pushed past the nurse by Kayli's side, to be with my daughter. With a lump of panic in my throat, and tears streaming down my face, I looked into Kayli's eyes to see if she was ready to go (be with our Lord and Savior). She had a blank stare on her face. Instead of seeing Kayli's soul like I did


when she passed away for 32 minutes (at 4 months old), I saw a shell of a body. That was it. Her soul was gone, and she was a confused, lost little girl. That's when it hit me. Kayli did not know what was happening to her! She is not in her body, and her soul was nowhere to be seen. How would she know she was dead, if she wasn't present for her death?!!! Kayli left her body so that she was not suffering, but I just couldn't let her go without HER making the choice to die! For the first time in her 4 years of life, I begged for Kayli to come back to me. I begged her to stay with me, and not leaveme! I wanted HER to make the conscious choice, and I wanted her death to be peaceful (like it was the first time)! I didn't want her to suffer, but at the same time I knew Kayli wasn't there to talk to...to decide if she was ready to go or not. I leaned into her, with my heavy heart that seemed to come out through my mouth, I put my trembling lips on her ear, and begged. I begged her to come back to me, even if just to say goodbye. My tears filled her ear, like a lake overflowing after a heavy rain storm. I begged her to come back just long enough to decide for herself. I told her that she doesn't have to stay long,


but I NEEDED her to come back to me. And...she did. Her eyes filled with her spirit again! She was scared, but she was there with me. I cried and told her I'm scared too, and it's ok because we're in this together. I told her what happened, and how bad it was. I told her we aren't giving up on her, and no matter how bad she's hurting right now she is not alone. She will never be alone. I asked her to trust in me. I begged her to stay with me, and fight to get better. I told her I know she doesn't understand right now, but that I needed her to trust me and stay with me until she could understand what was happening.I asked Kayli to slow down her heart rate. At that moment, Kayli's heart rate began to drop down a little. Kayli was trusting me! I cheered her on. Her nurse saw her heart rate dropping, and cheered her on too. We cried, and laughed because our emotions were all over the place. I was relieved that Kayli was responding to me, and was trusting me. Kayli's heart rate continued to come down, as my tears of joy and praises of God enveloped her little quivering body. Kayli's status became "unstably stable". That meant there was no telling when the next heart beat would be, but there was a suggestion of a promising trend. Flight for life was called, and the plan was to transfer Kayli in the


unstably stable condition, to better equipped hospital. Kayli ended up being transported by a critical care team via ambulance instead. She was not expected to survive the transport, but she did! Kayli continued to get better, in the new PICU (pediatric intensive care unit), but there was something different about her. The next day, her heart rate was stable, and she had survived the impossible!! Or so we thought. As the days went on, we noticed Kayli was inconsolable. She cried ALL the time, and wailed even harder if we talked to her or tried to comfort her, or hold her. Kayli had no idea who were were! Of all the heartache in Kayli's journey, this was the hardest to take. Kayli was alive, but no longer knewof our love for her. She was scared, and lonely. I questioned my decision to beg her to stay with us. My daughter was still here with me, but she didn't know love. What kind of life is it, if you don't know of love? Kayli feared me, and all those around her who love her. Her nurses were in tears, and were heartbroken. We all grieved Kayli's life as we knew it. We just wanted our Kayli back. As the weeks went on, we continued to hold her, even as our tears fell and she cried. Eventually, Kayli tired of crying, and tolerated our love. She wasn't happy, and she didn't know who we were, but she tolerated our unconditional love for her. Then we noticed Kayli


does not affect her brain like seizures would. In fact, other than feeling startled, it has no affect on her. Once the startle stops, Kayli is completely "herself" again. As time has gone on, Kayli's Hyperekplexia appears to be decreasing. She is in reflex therapy in hopes of calming, and bringing her out of her new condition. Kayli faced death for the 8th time in her short life, and God granted her another miracle of life! We often ask ourselves, "Why Me?". "What did we ever do to deserve this life with Kayli?" Not because we are frustrated, angry, nor burdened with Kayli, but because we are truly Blessed. God is good ALL the time. Through all life's trials and tribulations, He shows us the glory. When youroom

Across the hall from Kayli's bedroom, is her therapy room. It was a bedroom, that we turned into a supply and therapy room. While Kayli's bedroom has stock of frequently uses medical supplies, we had to find a place to store her extra supplies, and less frequently used medical supplies. We put shelving units in the room's double wide closet. We have an armoire in the therapy room, to store her drool pads, blankets, and mattress pads. We decorated the front of the armoire with pictures by taking cork board and covering it with fabric. Kayli can see her support team, and her nurses can put faces to all the specialists, nurses, and dr's on Kayli's team!

Kayli's exercise ball is set aside, resting on a re-purposed basketball hoop.


day before to keep me calm and centered – and I opted to stay in the shop. Eleanor and I put out the strawberries, mangos and cheese cubes in a divided platter that I brought from home, Dinah, the cupcake host, arranged the mini lemon cupcakes, and the store manager and his assistant arranged the drinks – wine and waters – on a separate table, some chilling in ice buckets. They made a cute pyramid cup arrangement.

People trickled in gradually and as I interacted with them all of my stress dissipated. Some people I had never met came in, and one came up to me almost immediately and told me the story of suicide inher family. By the end of that conversation we were both crying.

At seven thirty the room was full, people filled all the chairs and others were standing around the room when the storeowner suggested we start the reading. Also the store needed more books brought in. I had taken over five on Tuesday. and I realized this might be big when the owner called the afternoon of the reading to remind me to bring more books – they were down to one. So within an hour and a half forty-five books were sold. Ben had brought in two boxes of twenty right away and brought in another box of twenty as soon as our reading was over. All but four of those were sold by the end of


I loved to interact with so many people about my book. We’ve agreed to meet again after they’ve read the book.

Today would be my dad’s birthday. He died in 1975 at the age of seventy-two after a year and half battle with cancer of the bile duct system. Who knows where that came from? He always lived very healthy. He was trim, he was an early advocate of health foods and one of the first health food gurus Gaylord Hauser, he didn’t smoke, and drank only moderately. I always worried a heart attack would take him since he had one at age fifty-seven, probably caused by stress. Perhaps stress was what caused his cancer. He sure had his share of it – from my motherand from major business setbacks toward the end of his life.

He was a quiet guy and kept most of his thoughts and feelings inside. That could have caused his cancer as well. I’ve heard if we let emotions out it’s better for our health.

What I most admire him for was his sense of family – he always protected us and encouraged us. He also was creative. He played the violin as a youngster, and he made sure my siblings and I studied music – we all learned to play piano. Plus he knew about interior design. As a textile salesman and fabric designer he had a wonderful eye for how to furnish our homes. I think I got my love of beauty and music from him.

He also was


suspended for two days because his teacher thought he shaped a strawberry, pre-baked toaster pastry into something resembling a gun. (RELATED: Second-grader suspended for having breakfast pastry shaped like a gun)

At Poston Butte High School in Arizona, a high school freshman was suspended for setting a picture of a gun as the desktop background on his school-issued computer. (RELATED: Freshman suspended for picture of gun)

A yellow ball was used, even though crews spent four hours clearing the snow from Clarke Field. The officiating crew felt that, with white snowbanks around the field, it would be best not to use a white ball.

Canada Overreacts to Jack Layton's Death

I pulled up my Twitter and Facebook pages last Monday morning to find news of the death of one of Canada’s most well-known politicians. Jack Layton, a 30-year veteran of community organizing, member of parliament representing Toronto, and the leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party (NDP), had succumbed to an aggressive form of prostate cancer. He was a strong voice for left-wing Canada, fighting for causes ranging from rights for people suffering with HIV/AIDS and women's reproductive rights to legislation allowing conscientious objectors to the Iraq war to remain in Canada. Layton fought off his first bout of cancer earlier this year before leading the NDP through the most successful federal election campaign in decades. The election marked the first time the NDPformed the Official Opposition at the national level; it was a major victory for Layton. But his cancer returned and last week he died, causing an overwhelming public emotional reaction.

As a dual citizen of Canada and the U.S., and after living in Canada for a few years, I will admit that I never voted for the NDP at the federal level. And while I support the causes for which Layton was a vocal activist, I was never a supporter of Layton as a politician. I was, however, strangely affected by his death, as were a number of my friends — some, but not all of whom, are federal NDP supporters. I believe, however, that his death would not have caused such a reaction had it happened last year


at this time or even a year from now. The reaction was the product of a jolt following an emotionally charged federal election victory, which begs the question: Is the politics of mourning a politician ever anything more than just politics?

In this case, the outpouring of emotion, while seemingly genuine, is doing an excellent job of skyrocketing NDP ratings and reminding Canadians of Layton’s liberal victories.

Just two days before his death, Layton wrote a banal but touching letter instructing Canadians to be hopeful and optimistic about politics and the future of Canada, which he instructed his wife to release in the event of his death. The letter was published hours after the announcement of his passing and was soon posted on every Facebook page and news blog. Itcontroversial columnist Christie Blatchford criticized the outpouring and the now famous letter. The article was immediately pegged as blasphemous and Blatchford was berated by fellow members of the media, politicians, and in letters-to-the-editor of newspapers and magazines across the country. The state funerals, held in Ottawa on Friday and in Toronto on Saturday, attracted crowds from across the province, some lining up for hours to catch a view of the casket or the big screen on which the service was being shown. I visited Nathan Phillips Square later in the week and saw strangers crying at his makeshift memorial. This response is reminiscent of only one event in my memory: the death of Princess Diana.

It is difficult to believe that this disproportionate response is much more than politics


Edward Randolph Carter (1856-1944) was a Baptist minister, and for more than 60 years he pastored the oldest Black Baptist Church in Atlanta, Friendship Baptist Church. Much of the documentation about Rev. Carter pertains to Friendship Baptist Church.Forever and Ever (Demis Roussos album)

holiday that was extended by three days. It was Shanghai’s worst day since August 2015, despite the central bank’s effort to inject billions of dollars of extra cash into the markets.

Many analysts have dropped their forecasts for China, the world’s second-largest economy, to near 5% from earlier forecasts of 6% economic growth for the year. With tens of millions of Chinese city dwellers ordered to mostly stay home, retailer and tourism-related businesses already are suffering.

China’s communist leaders can draw on massive reserves to staunch panic selling of shares and have deployed them during past crises, including the 2008 global financial meltdown and the 2002-2003 outbreak of SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome. Most of the country’s largest companies and financial institutions are state-controlled.

On Sunday, the central bank announcedtrends in dryness due to lack of direct observations and some geographical inconsistencies in the trends.

There is medium confidence in a projected increase in duration and intensity of droughts in some regions of the world, including southern Europe and the Mediterranean region, central Europe, central North America, Central America and Mexico, northeast Brazil, and southern Africa. Elsewhere there is overall low confidence because of insufficient agreement of projections of drought changes.

The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) describes natural variations in the global climate system and involves changes in sea temperature and atmospheric pressure across the Pacific basin. ‘Southern Oscillation’ refers to above-average atmospheric pressures in the Indian Ocean associated with below-average pressures in the Pacific (and vice versa); ‘El Niño’ episodes refer to a phase of abnormally warm


17.

The most recent available data (covering drought disasters from 1900-2012) from EM-DAT, a worldwide disaster database maintained by the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters, gives an indication of the devastating effects of drought on countries around the world. In 2011, it is estimated that 35 million people were affected by drought in China, while 17 million people were affected in Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Uganda, Djibouti, Burundi and Niger. Droughts in the United States and Mexico were estimated to have resulted in $8 billion in damages, while droughts in China resulted in $2.4 billion in damages. Reported damages are often underestimated because of a lack of standardization methods for reporting and quantifying losses 11. For the period of 1900-2012, the countries with the greatest number offoods: Table 2c summarises some of the health risks can ensue. In Afghanistan in 1970-2, 22% of a drought-affected population developed veno-occlusive liver disease associated with eating wheat that had not been properly winnowed from a plant contaminant containing pyrrolizidine alkaloids 49. In India, drought was associated with aflatoxicosis due to mould-affected food, attributed to unseasonal rains prior to harvest and chronic drought conditions 50. In China, a drought caused selenium to enter the food chain causing problems which included hair and nail loss, skin lesions, tooth decay, and nervous system problems 51. In Ethiopia, consumption of drought-resistant grass pea led to irreversible neurodegenerative disease due to neurolathyrism 52. In Tanzania and Mozambique, outbreaks of Konzo, another serious neurological disease which causes irreversible paralysis, were due to inadequately


found no clear drought-associated references for the latter. Eye infections including conjunctivitis 79 were also associated with drought-related lack of water for washing.

Disease caused by chemical and pollutant concentration

Reduced water from a fixed source such as reservoir or lake concentrates its dissolved contents, including chemicals, metals and other pollutants. No studies directly examining the health effects of these as related to drought were found but there is certainly potential for adverse impact 81,82.

Water-related disease caused by algae

Following a drought in north-east Brazil in 1996, 126 patients in a haemodialysis unit developed signs and symptoms of acute neurotoxicity and hepatoxicity after water contaminated by cyanobacteria was used for dialysis; 60 subsequently died 83.

In the United States, after two dogs died drinking lake water contaminated by microcystin toxins, authorities launchedThe former applies to Anopheles arabiensis, and the latter applies to Anopheles funestus; both principle malaria vectors in Africa. The aquatic habitat favoured by the local malaria vectors is therefore crucial in determining the impact of drought on malaria.

In the Sahel, one study looked at Anopheles funestus and changes over time in malaria prevalence and incidence. In Senegal, between 1967 and 1992, parasite prevalence in children fell by 84%, and incidence fell by 82%. In Niger, malaria prevalence fell from 69% in 1969 to 23% in 1994 in the Niger River area; in Zinder, prevalence dropped from 89% in 1922 to 32% in 1994, and near Lake Chad, prevalence dropped from 40% in 1967 to 7% in 1996. The authors report that the decreases in malaria prevalence and


incidence are likely due to the disappearance of the A. funestus as a result of severe droughts in the region 99. Another study of Plasmodium falciparum transmission by Anopheles arabiensis and Anopheles funestus during a period of drought (2004-2005) in Zambia reported reduced mosquito activity and reduced numbers of malaria cases during the period of drought. Numbers of An. arabiensis rebounded strongly when the rains returned in 2005-2006, while no An. funestus were collected during this time 100. The former is able to exploit the multitude of transient aquatic habitats following rain events with numbers increasing rapidly in the absence of predators and competitors.

Finally, highlighting the indirect nature of many of the health effects associated with drought, during a period of drought (1997) in the Irian Jaya provincewater table depth was compared with human cases of SLE in Florida and results showed that May drought occurred in 83% of the areas studied prior to the report of at least one human case of SLE 104. This study builds on the previous studies and provides further evidence that antecedent drought and near-coincident wetting are significantly associated with human SLE cases. Culex mosquitoes tend to exploit transient water bodies and can proliferate in the absence of predators.

West Nile Virus

A number of studies have identified links between human West Nile virus (WNV) and drought in the United States. In a study comparing transmission patterns of WNV in California from 2004-2007, increases in human infection in 2007 were associated with severe drought conditions as well as other surveillance indicators


can be associated with heat waves during the summer, especially when anti-cyclonic conditions (high pressure usually associated with clear skies and in the summer increased temperature due to increased radiation) remain on land masses over an extended period. This was the case in August 2003 when Western Europe experienced some extreme temperatures 147: 70,000 additional deaths occurred during the summer period, with over 30,000 of these occurring during the heatwave, and over 25,000 wildfires were recorded 148,149.

The lack of moisture in the soil during droughts could also amplify surface temperature anomalies 150. With reduced soil moisture and increased temperatures, plants will lose some of their water content; they might transpire less to mitigate the lack of water but this is an aggravating factor for wildfires.In 1996, the Panhandleregion of Texas (United States) experienced severe wildfires which resulted in the deaths of 12 people. Circumstances were ideal for the wildfires as the area had experienced “extreme” drought conditions in the five months prior to the fires 151. Above-average temperatures in Russia in 2010 were accompanied by extensive wildfire outbreaks in 22 regions across the Federation 152; in an analysis of the effects of heat on mortality, 54,000 cumulative excess deaths in July and August of 2010 were observed compared to the same period in 2009 153.One review has documented the human health effects of wildfires with links to high heat (and likely drought conditions) 154, and further investigation and documentation are warranted.

Migration

In certain regions of the world, drought contributes to the mass migration of people fleeing


high population density and poor sanitation) were seen in the settlers, and people were exposed to onchocerciasis for the first time upon re-settlement. Cases of trypanosomiasis, sand flea infestation and nonfilarial elephantiasis were reported in settlement areas, as were cases of severe malnutrition with high mortality rates. Mental stress was observed in both settlers and in indigenous populations where settlement populations were based; unsurprisingly, reasons included family separation, uncertainty, and hostilities towards settlers.

Following the most severe drought ever recorded in Brazil, thousands of people migrated to the city of Fortaleza in 1878. Smallpox was introduced to the city through a sailor, and the disease quickly spread through the drought re-settlement communities; over 35,000 people died of smallpox in the span of four months 156. Yet again, this studythe buildings and the materials and workmanship involved in their construction. He then added another 21% (for a total depreciation of 70%) which he said represented economic obsolescence arising from the fact that the land in the particular area was increasing in value. His theory was that because of the change in character of the area, appellant's buildings (which had been used in part as rental units) would produce less and less income as time went on, and that in period of from ten to fifteen years would have become a detriment to the land.
Appellant does not take issue with the amount of depreciation allowed by reason of the age and condition of the buildings. But she does protest the additional factor representing economic obsolescence. In this, we


item of damage.
Appellant's evidence on this point was indeed meager. One witness testified that for approximately one year in 1957 and 1958 he had rented one of the buildings for $125 a month. Another witness said that when she had lived in the other building in 1947, and again in 1954, the rent for the upstairs apartment was $150 a month and for the downstairs apartment, $125 a month. Appellant gave her opinion as to the rental value of the building. But she produced no evidence of income that she was actually receiving immediately prior to the destruction of her buildings, or of the likelihood that she would have continued to receive a designated amount of income had the buildings not been destroyed, or of what expenses werethe Authority's complaint in condemnation and its declaration of taking which were filed in the former Territorial district court on June 9, 1958. Appellant retained counsel to represent her, and he promptly moved to dismiss the action and to strike the declaration of taking. The motion was denied by the district judge on August 23, 1958, and he ordered appellant to give possession of her property to the Authority not later than October 2, 1958. A motion to set aside the order granting possession was denied February 10, 1959. On March 30, 1959, the district court issued the Authority a writ of assistance in aid of the previous order granting possession. Counsel for appellant moved to quash the writ. The court denied the motion on April 28, 1959,


of that petition, stayed all further proceedings in the district court. On August 18, 1959, the appellate *701 court denied the petition for a writ of prohibition on the basis of lack of jurisdiction, and vacated the stay previously granted.[10] On October 6, 1959, it denied appellant's petition for rehearing and her request that the court certify to the United States Supreme Court the question of appellate jurisdiction. A petition for a writ of certiorari was filed with the United States Supreme Court in December 1959, and this was denied on February 23, 1960.[11]
On October 5, 1959, the day prior to the last action by the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, we promulgated the rules of this court and assumed our appellate jurisdiction. On November 18,The first match of the women's doubles semi-final in 2017 WTA Finals was an unforgettable battle between two world-class tennis pairs. The match was ended with a victory by the Hungarian Tímea Babos and Czech Andrea Hlaváčková over the Swiss great Martina Hingis and Taiwanese Chan Yung-jan by 6-4, 7-6.

The tennis world had a high hope from Hingis, as she has already announced her retirement after the 2017 WTA Finals. So Singaporean tennis fans were hoping to see Hingis for one more time in the finals. But Babos and Hlaváčková proved that they are going nowhere but in the finals of the tournament.

While in the opening set of the women's doubles semi-final match Babos and Hlaváčková showed their focus to the opponents, the 25-time grand slam winner Hingis


and her Chan Yung-jan managed to show their abilities. But Babos and Hlaváčková did not give them a chance to set their pace and took the first set by 6-4.

In the second set, both the pairs won five games each. Then Hingis came to serve for the sixth game and gained 40 points.

While the 37-year-old Hingis and Chan were leading with 40-0, unfortunately, Babos flicked her ankle and sat down on the court. The umpire announced a medical timeout for the 24-year-old Babos.

When the center court crowd was eagerly waiting for the match to resume, after receiving the medical attention Babos decided to return and finish the match with grace. However, the interrupted game was taken by Hingis.

When the second set ended with six games all, the umpiredroplets are likely made of sulfuric acid.

Seeing this glory was no accident: they made a calculated effort to image the clouds with the Sun directly behind the Venus Express spacecraft. The scientists were hoping to spot a glory in order to determine important characteristics of the cloud droplets.

Today, the team reported that they were successful. The glory in the images here was seen at the Venus cloud tops, 70 km above the planet’s surface, back on July 24, 2011. Their paper was just recently accepted for publication.

The glory was 1,200 km wide as seen from the spacecraft, 6,000 km away.

The Venus Express team deduced that from these observations, the cloud particles are estimated to be 1.2 micrometres across, roughly a fiftieth of the width of a human hair.

Over 64: England 176/2; Cook 85, Pietersen 62Ojha is back, and it's a maiden. Pietersen blocks with his bat, pad and long strides ahead to stay safe.

There's still 15 minutes to go and the minimum overs requred today are almost up. A wicket here will be a welcome bonus for India, with Cook and Pietersen settling nicely and the scoring rate cruising along.

Over 60: England 165/2; Cook 83, Pietersen 53Harbhajan comes on from the other end, and Pietersen blocks it with solid defence. The lone loose ball of the over is flicked through midwicket forfielder's shoulder.

Over 37: England 85/2; Cook 43, Pietersen 13After giving himself a few balls to play himself in, Pietersen drives through cover for four and then boshes the next ball over mid on for another.

Pietersen survives Ojha and it's tea. England were looking to get some kind of momentum but those two wickets from Ojha have reverted this to an even contest. Cook, as expected, has been England's best batsman so far, nearing his half century.

That's been a rapid turnaround of fortunes. Ten minutes to play till tea and just when Cook and Compton were beginning to settle down nicely, come along Ojha and suddenly it's two wickets down. The last few overs have changed the mood of the Indian team. England still have to negotiate five more

Innings break

Pujara finally gets an out against his name, after 1015 minutes, 790 balls and 382 runs, in this series. That's astonishing for a 240year-old playing only his seventh Test.

Swann finishes with four wickets in the innings, Panesar five. Most importantly, they finally have managed to dismiss Pujara, and Swann would cherish this particular wicket for a long time. India finish for 327, a good enough score on this pitch and three spinners ready to rock and roll for India.

Zaheer Khan's little cameo at the end of the innings brought off 10 quick runs with a four and a massive six but that's all the tail's managed. Umpire Aleem Darplay across, just gets his pad in front of off. That's wicket number 200 for Swann. Zaheer Khan walks out.

Over 111: India 314/7; Pujara 133, Harbhajan 21And India cross the 300 mark, with a four by Harbhajan off Monty, wide of the gully off a thick outside edge. Follows it up with the first six of the innings, swinging a length ball over long-on. That's a crucial over for India.

Pujara is taking his own sweet time to play out. This is a typical Test innings from the times gone by, where batting through is more important than getting a flurry of fours and sixes. The first hour's play is over and it has been an even battle, one wicket, 25 runs and a dropped catch. India inc closer


to the 300 mark, and it might just be enough, given the bounce and turn in the pitch and three specialist and very good spinners waiting to bowl.

Over 105: India 292/7; Pujara 127, Harbhajan 5Thats a drop, and it's Trott. Again. Harbhajan pushes at one on the off from Panesar, it takes a soft outside edge and goes to the left of Trott at first slip but Trott's too slow, can't gets a finger to it, the ball goes to the ropes. England's fielding hasn't really been up to the mark in this series, barring yesterday, when they were throwing themselves at everything.

Swann comes on, about time, and it's spin from either end now. Harbhajan is not the most exquisite batsman but he is a dangerous hitter, andhit on the inside of the pad. Umpire Aleem Dar signals not out, replays remain inconclusive. This would be the second close call survived by Pujara in this innings. Ashwin plays out the rest of the over.

Over 91: India 267/6; Pujara 114, Ashwin 61Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravichandran Ashwin walk out, hoping to carry on from where they left off on Day One. Panesar continues his own shining form, opening the bowling on day Two. He continues to toss it up, fuller deliveries at a quickish pace, and the Indians do well to defend it well.

With the pitch still assisting the bowlers, England would be looking to get the rest of the Indian batting early in the first session on Day Two. On the other hand, the Indian bowlers


would only be too keen to come out and have a go at the Englishmen.

The first day ended as an even contest between bat and ball, the former of Pujara and the latter of Monty. England looked to be taking control here despite losing the toss after Monty Panesar took four wickets either side of lunch to reduce India to 169 for 6 but the unbeaten seventh-wicket 97 run partnership, between Pujara and Ashwin, managed to give the momentum back to the hosts, even if very slightly. Once again Pujara's patience, discipline, control, concentration and stroke-making were on show, in conditions far more testing.

Ariel San Francisco, CA @ The Warfield August 7th 2017 Could barely see the band most of the time due to both poor lighting and also an obstructive fence-like lighting structure in front of the band. Setlist could have included more classics. There was no encore, which was very disappointing and left the crowd lingering for a long time in disbelief.

Rhode Island Station Needs Structural Repairs

The closures are being done to help crews complete structural repairs at Rhode Island Avenue, which WMATA says is the system's oldest outdoor station.

"The structural work cannot be completed while trains are running on either track and will resolve platform conditions that affect the alignment between the platform and trains, presenting challenges for customers with disabilities," says a release on WMATA's website.

According to a Metro inspector general report, crews' failure to inspect parts of the Rhode Island Avenue station and the apparent copying and pasting of language from old inspection reports led a steel beam and pieces of concrete to fall from the ceiling in 2016, NBC4's Chris Gordon reported in May.

An inspector general reportsaid crews skipped inspections of hard-to-reach areas over a period of three years. In some cases, they apparently used inspection results for prior years at the Rhode Island Avenue station.

Metro Board Chairman Jack Evans said that was the lax attitude that existed before he and General Manager Paul Wiedefeld took over.

"It was a culture of, I guess, people just thought they could get away with it and not do what they were supposed to do," he said. "And there was nobody looking over their work."

The falling debris caused the closure of the station for temporary repairs in 2016.


and active citizenship are frequently promoted as a response to crime and disorder, particularly where individuals are encouraged to identify local problems and provide ideas for solutions to them (Spalek, 2008).

Within UK politics, there has also been a shift towards emphasising 'community cohesion', particularly prior to the 2001 Northern 'Riots' (Ratcliffe, 2012; Robinson, 2008). The issue of community cohesion was raised to explain and articulate policy responses to the disorder in some northern towns and cities, focussing particularly on the perceived segregation of minority (especially Asian) communities within the UK who (it was argued) had come to uphold values against those generally shared in UK society (Robinson, 2008). Policy response to this 'issue' was to facilitate the development of shared norms, values and a sense of belonging betweenhad been weakened by growing individualism, greed and tendencies to 'shirk' social responsibilities and that these responsibilities should be re-enforced alongside promoting individual autonomy.

In the acceptance of communitarian ideas such as 'rights twinned with responsibilities', advocates of New Labour suggested the role of the state was to support the community in realising these principles, thus should take a tough stance on crime and anti-social behaviour (Driver & Martell, 2006). Policy surrounding criminal activity turned towards emphasising community cohesion in light of the 2001 'riots' (Ratcliffe, 2012) with the Cantle report (2001) emphasising the idea of certain groups leading 'parallel lives' to the wider UK society. Policy became focussed on 'reintegration' of these communities alongside being 'tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime', with anti-social behaviour orders


touted as being tough policy aimed at creating more cohesive communities. Furthermore, crime prevention on community safety issues were tackled by shifting to an inter-agency 'partnership' approach and increasing community participation to enforce 'restorative justice' - i.e. restoring the damage done to the community through criminal or anti-social actions (Driver & Martell, 2002).

Analysis of these events with regards to communitarianism has highlighted several problems with UK criminal policy within the time of New Labour. The Third Way' was fashioned along authoritarian lines; advocating personal responsibility as being rooted to the market and formal employment (Sage, 2012) rather than responsibility to one's community. Within policy geared directly towards community cohesion, the assumption of groups living 'parallel lives' is a contested area; strategies may be viewed as idealistic in theirappeal to increased cohesive identity within the UK yet are difficult to attain, particularly in the case of marginalised groups; with critics highlighting this assumption may have racialised the debate (Thomas & Sanderson, 2012), having the effect of problematizing and criminalising certain groups, leading to further suspicion against marginalised communities, particularly Muslims, rather than achieving the aims of 're-integration' (Robinson, 2008). Robinson (2008) believes the groups to which these targets are set were ill-defined, based on flawed or un-substantive evidence and, in fact, non-existent, with community cohesion being an empty concept New Labour applied meaning to in the wake of the 2001 'riots' as a means to explain the unrest.

The notion of New Labour displaying 'communitarian themes' in their policy approach may also be contested; with Hale (2006)


believing New Labour was influenced by communitarianism alongside other theories, with comparisons between the two being generalised or constructed to fit within New Labour rhetoric. For Hale (2006), New Labour is not synonymous with communitarianism despite containing many references towards the theory; linking rights and duties, responsibility and opportunity; promoting strong active communities, homogenous values and seeking a 'middle way' between socialism and individualism. These references may be seen as 'buzz words', taken from communitarianism though but often used in ways contrary to the suggestion of Etzioni (1993; 1996). In relation to criminal policy, the biggest discrepancy between communitarian thinking and New Labour lies in the latter's propensity towards authoritarianism and appearing 'tough' on the issues of crime and anti-social behaviour; Blair's reliance on the need for strongservices (libraries, schools, parks etc.) (Cameron, 2010).

Many of the Coalition's proposed agendas for crime is In line with Big Society commitments to localism, including the publication of local crime statistics and the introduction of regular 'beat meetings' between neighbourhood groups and local police officers (Benyon, 2011) further to this, the Coalition have continued the commitment of the previous New Labour government towards reducing levels of 'anti-social' behaviour at a local level by introducing 'community triggers' allowing neighbours and community groups to initiate action against those deemed to be acting in an anti-social manner (Rodger, 2012). Rodger (2012: 415) sees these measures as "an attempt to recreate that lost sense of community control"; representing an increased usage of the criminal justice system within legislation that have previously been outside


The New South Wales Government is giving bus passengers a month to prepare for a timetable overhaul, designed to minimise the disruption caused by major construction projects in Sydney's CBD.

The Government has previously warned Sydneysiders to brace for major disruptions when construction of the city's new light rail begins in the CBD in October.

Transport Minister Andrew Constance is urging passengers to start pre-planning their bus trips over the coming weeks, so they are prepared for the introduction of the new timetable on October 4.

Mr Constance said trip planning, timetable and route information was already available online.

"The new bus network will impact nearly all CBD routes," Mr Constance said.

"These are significant changes and that's why I'm asking everyone to start planning now to keep Sydney moving come October.

"This isgoing to give Sydneysiders a month to be able to plan their new journey to town, particularly during the construction period of light rail and the other 100 projects that are happening around town."

CBD coordinator-general Marg Prendergast said staff in pink shirts and additional signage would also be placed in the city to assist passengers.

"For those needing on-the-ground help when bus routes change, just look for pink," she said.

"We have bright pink signs and staff in pink shirts all around the CBD from Monday 14 September."

And then the NRA–like the tobacco industry–will face an adversary wealthy enough to stand up for the rights of the gun industry’s own victims.

In July, 2005, George Zimmerman was arrested for shoving a police officer during an underage drinking raid. The charges were dropped after he completed an alcohol education program. That same summer, his ex-fiancée filed a restraining order against him, alleging that Zimmerman hit her.

Yet he was allowed to carry a loaded, hidden handgun as a Florida resident–under the 2005 “Stand Your Ground” law the NRA had rammed through the legislature.

Under that law: A Concealed Carry Permit is revokedonly if a gun owner is convicted of a felony. It issigned legislation allowing guns to be brought into national parks and onto trains. Since becoming Chief Executive, he has made no effort to curb gun violence.

High-capacity magazines were prohibited under the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban. It expired in 2004. The NRA–aided by the Bush administration and Republicans generally–easily overcame efforts to renew the ban.

Political scientist Robert Spitzer, author of the book The Politics of Gun Control, notes that since the passage of the 1993 Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act and the assault weapons ban in 1994, state and national laws have been drifting toward more open gun access:

“In 1988, there were about 18 states that had state laws that made it pretty easy for civilians to carry concealed hand guns around in society. By 2011, that number


4 million members, who focus most of their time lobbying Congress for unlimited “gun rights.”

The NRA claims that its mission is to “protect” the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which states:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

NRA members conveniently ignore the first half of that sentence: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State….”

For the NRA, the Second Amendment is the Constitution, and the rest of the document is a mere appendage.

At the time Congress ratified the Constitution in 1788, the United States was not a world power. Only after World War II did the country maintain a powerful standing armyduring peacetime.

But World War II ended 68 years ago, and today the United States is a far different country than it was in 1788:

It boasts a nuclear arsenal that can turn any country into thermonuclear ash–anytime an American President decides to do so.

It boasts an Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps that can target any enemy, anywhere in the world.

Its Special Forces–Green Berets, Delta Force and Navy SEALS–are rightly feared by international terrorists.

If a criminal flees or conducts business across state lines, powerful Federal law enforcement agencies–such as the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration–can put him out of business.

But apparently the NRA hasn’t gotten the word.

The NRA has steadfastly defended the right to own Teflon-coated “cop killer” bullets,” whose only purpose is to penetrate bullet-resistant vests worn


2012, in Jacksonville, Florida.

Dunn claimed that he argued with three young black men over the volume of their music in their SUV. He said that he saw a shotgun appear in one of the SUV’s windows and he fired his handgun eight or nine times before fleeing.

Three of Dunn’s bullets killed Davis. Police said that the men in the SUV were unarmed.

The National Rifle Association (NRA)–which backed the measure–will celebrate a return to an era “when men were men” and every argument threatened to become a shootout.

But not everyone in the Old West welcomed the indiscriminate right to carry and use firearms within town. One of those was the legendary lawman, James Butler “Wild Bill” Hickok.

Contrary to popular belief, Hickok actualy didn’t spend most of his life asa town marshal. His gunslinging days as a lawman lasted just two years–1869 to 1871.

His first stint as a lawman came at Hays City, Kansas. As sheriff, he shot and killed at least two men. One of these shootings occurred when Hickok, looking in a bar mirror, saw a ruffian named Strawhan pull a pistol to shoot him in the back.

Hickok, looking into the mirror, threw a “trick shot” over his shoulder–and nailed Strawhan dead.

Then Hickok’s luck ran out. On July 17, 1870, several members of the 7th U.S. Cavalry attacked him in Drum’s Saloon. Drawing his pistols, he killed one private and wounded another.

Although he had acted in self-defense and the shootings were entirely justifiable, Hickok now faced danger from other, enraged members of the same regiment.


He decided to leave Hays before they could take their revenge.

His next posting as town marshal came in Abilene, Kansas. This stint lasted from April to December, 1871. And, like his last one as a “town-tamer,” it ended with a deadly shootout.

A major portion of his duties lay in enforcing the “no firearms worn or used in town” edict.

Abilene was a cattle town, the end of the line for many outfits seeking a major railhead where their hundreds of beeves could be dropped off and shipped eastward.

When cowboys–most of them in their teens or early 20s–reached Abilene, they wanted to celebrate. Their long drive was over, and now they could finally get paid. And there were plenty of bars and whores waiting to pick up their newly-issued monies.

Thisdays later.

Hickok whirled and fired twice more–into the chest of his own deputy, Mike Williams, who had been running to his aid.

Hickok, aghast at his mistake, gently carried Williams into a saloon and placed his body onto a billiard table. Then he raged through Abilene, ordering an end to the festivities and knocking down any cowboys foolish enough to resist.

Owing to this latest explosion in violence, the city fathers quickly reached two decision:

First, they put an end to Abilene’s years as a major cattle shipping point. From now on, cattlemen were no longer welcome there.

San Bruno resident Sutchi Hui, 71, was visiting San Francisco when Death found him-–just before 8 a.m. on March 29, 2012.

No doubt he felt safe before he died. After all, he was walking through


this event, hundreds of bicyclists deliberately–at the height of evening rush hour–overwhelm the streets of downtown San Francisco, bringing vehicular and pedestrian traffic to a halt.

Founded in 1992 in San Francisco, the purpose of Critical Mass is not formally stated but nevertheless clear: To protest against those who use cars and public transit–and intimidate their riders and pedestrians alike.

Critical Mass riders often use a tactic known as “corking” to maintain the cohesion of the group: A few riders block traffic from side roads so that the mass can race through red lights without interruption.

Cars, buses and pedestrians are expected to wait patiently for however long these self-indulgent thugs-on-bikes flood the streets.

In March, 2010, reports in local media claimed that then-Police Chief George Gascon was considering shutting down Critical13 of murdering 17-year-old Travon Martin.

Zimmerman’s ethnicity is half-German (on his father’s side) and half-Peruvian (on his mother’s). Martin was black.

From the tone of the question, you’d think that that blacks were being slaughtered daily by whites.

In fact, the racial group most responsible for the murders of blacks is–other blacks.

In 1971, Robert Daley, a reporter for the New York Times, became a deputy police commissioner for the New York Police Department (NYPD).

In that capacity, he saw the NYPD from the highest levels to the lowest–from the ornate, awe-inspiring office of Police Commissioner Patrick Murphy to the gritty, sometimes blood-soaked streets of New York.

He spent one year on the job before resigning–later admitting that when he agreed to take the job, he got more than he bargained for.

The United States has gradually eased airline security measures that took effect after 9/11.

In 2005, TSA said it would let passengers carry on small scissors, knitting needles, tweezers, nail clippers and up to four books of matches. The agency began focusing on keeping explosives off planes, because intelligence officials believed that was the greatest threat to commercial aviation.

With regard to the use of edged weapons as terrorist tools:

The terrorists who highjacked four jetliners and turned them into flying bombs on September 11, 2001, used only boxcutters to cut the throats of stewards and stewardesses; and

They then either forced their way into the cockpits and overpowered and murdered the pilots, or lured the pilots to leavethe cabins and murdered them.

It’s also worth remembering that for all the publicity given the TSA’s “Air Marshal” program, it’s been airline passengers who have repeatedly been the ones to subdue unruly fliers.

Consider the following incidents:

On August 11, 2000, Jonathan Burton, a passenger aboard a Southwest Airlines flight tried to break into the cockpit was killed by other passengers who restrained him.

On May 9, 2011, crew members and passengers wrestled a 28-year-old man to the cabin floor after he began pounding on the cockpit door of a plane approaching San Francisco.

On February 21, 2012, passengers aboard a Continental Airlines flight from Portland to Houston rushed to aid a flight attendant subdue a Middle Eastern man who began shouting, “Allah is great!”

On March 27, 2012, a JetBlue flight from


new York to Las Vegas was forced to land in Texas after the pilot started shouting about bombs and al-Qaeda and had to be subdued by passengers.

On January 9, 2013, passengers on board an international flight from Reykjavik to New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport subdued an unruly passenger by tying him to his seat with duct tape and zip ties after he began screaming and hitting other passengers.

On May 27, 2013, a passenger aboard an Alaska Airlines flight from Anchorage to Portland, Oregon, tried to open an airplane door in-flight and was subdued by passengers and crew members until the plane landed in Portland.

In every one of these incidents, it’s been passengers–not Air Marshals–who have been the first and major line of defense against mentally unstable orcrew–with one exception–cooperated fully with the highjackers’ demands. And all of them died horiffically when three of those jetliners were deliberately crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

World Trade Center under airplane attack

Only on United Flight 93 did the passengers and crew fight back. In doing so, they accomplished what security guards, soldiers, military pilots, the CIA and FBI could not: They thwarted the terrorists, sacrificing their own lives and preventing the fourth plane from destroying the White House or the Capital Building.

Memorial to the passengers and crew of United Flight 93

Since every airline passenger must now become his or her own Air Marshal, it seems only appropriate that the criminals they face be rendered as harmless as possible.

A couple from Oregon City, who are members of Followers of Christ, a faith healing religion, are facing murder and criminal mistreatment charges in connection to the death of one of their prematurely born twins, according to a press release from Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office.

On Mar. 5, 2017, Sarah Elaine Mitchell, 24, had given birth to two premature twin girls. The second girl died a few hours after birth due to breathing complications.

Authorities say Sarah Mitchell, and her husband, Travis Lee Mitchell, 21, are members of the Followers of Christ Church in Oregon City.

Members of Followers of Christ eschew traditional medical care, instead relying on faith healing through prayer and use of anointing oil.

Rather than rely on the Turkish president, who behaves more and more like an autocrat, Europe should seek a common foreign and immigration policy. Yet Merkel may not be the right one to lead such negotiations.

In her 11 years in office she has taken few risks in dealing with national challenges. She made the term “without alternative” popular, meaning to wait and take a decision at the last moment, forcing political partners into acceptance. It may have been a slick way to govern, but it drove her partners mad. Whatever topic became popular – nurseries, climate change, parental leave – Merkel occupied it and made it her policy.

After 16 years in office he had lost the general election in 1998, and in 2000 his grip on the CDU was broken by his former protegee, Merkel.

Her message of almost two decades ago applies to her party today, as well as to all liberal and pro-European Germans.

It went on to state that oil and gas drilling and processing activities in the region could account for half of that total, making that a source of methane five times higher than the
