Seventy-two thousand homes across Nova Scotia are still without access to high-speed internet, says a new report prepared for the province that offers a road map to connect underserved and unserved homes across the province.

The plan, developed by a consulting firm hired by the province, follows on the heels of a funding announcement the premier made in March to spend $120 million so people in rural parts of Nova Scotia have access to high-speed internet.

The plan is for 95 per cent of Nova Scotians to have wired or wireless access within five years, while the remaining five per cent of homes, the most remote in the province, will get internet via satellite technology.

The plan says there will need to be about 55 wireless tower sites set up, andabout 8,900 kilometres of cable laid.

Long-standing complaints

People in rural communities have complained for years about slow, spotty or non-existent internet access. Many say it has hampered business opportunities in small communities and hurt the education of students.

In 2006, rural residents cheered when the Progressive Conservative government, under then premier Rodney MacDonald, promised that by 2010 "Nova Scotians, no matter where they live, will have 100 per cent coverage."

Not only did that not happen, but 12 years after the promise was made, fast, reliable connectivity provincewide is still far from being achieved, said Geoff MacLellan, the minister of business.

Former Nova Scotia premier Rodney MacDonald made an election promise in 2006 that all Nova Scotians would have high-speed internet access by 2010. (CBC)

Indonesia's president says his country will join the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade deal, but cut short his US visit to deal with Indonesia's worsening haze situation.

Joko Widodo made the comments to US President Obama at the White House.

Indonesia, South East Asia's largest economy with a population of 250 million, will join 12 countries in the world's largest free trade area.

But forest fires there have sent a smoky haze across the entire region.

President Widodo discussed the haze situation as well as climate change with President

He linked climate change to the crisis - even though the Indonesian fires are started deliberately - as weather conditions have been drier than usual.

The TPP has been seen by some as an attempt to counterbalance growing Chinese economic influence in the region, but it has come under fire both from the political left and from economic nationalists, who claim it undermines labour rights and national sovereignty.Growth and the new political economy

10 September 2012

The UK economy continues to falter in the hands of a Coalition government who look a long way from finding a strategy for growth.

The centre-left has the political momentum, but dealing with the entrenched legacy of 30 years of neoliberalism and changing economic orthodoxy is trickier than many expected. It requires a capacity to make tough choices and a better blend of realism and bold experimentation.

To that end, Policy Network continues it's work on the future of the political economy with a series of memos on growth strategies and the political dilemmas they present.

Low incidence of the severe complications of malaria and absence of malaria-specific mortality, in Tensa, Sundergarh district, Orissa state, India, an area hyper-endemic for malaria.
The incidence of severe malaria and malaria-specific mortality were investigated in a hospital, for miners and their families, at Tensa in the Sundergarh district of Orissa state in India. Tensa lies in area where malaria (predominantly caused by Plasmodium falciparum) is hyper-endemic. The hospital records for 1995--1999 showed that, although annual admissions for malaria increased over the study period, there were very few admissions for severe, complicated malaria and no reports of malaria-specific deaths. Most of the patients who had been admitted with cerebral malaria either came from areas around but not within the town of Tensa or were recent arrivals in the town.to release a self titled EP, through The Control Group in 2004 and their final album, Here Is..., through V2, in 2006.

History

Loudermilk (1995–2004)

In 1995, friends Davey Ingersoll (vocals, guitar), Mark Watrous (guitar), Shane Middleton (bass) and Issac Carpenter (drums) formed the hard rock quartet Loudermilk in Tri-Cities, Washington. They released their own album, Man with Gun Kills Three!, independently in 1998. After hearing an unauthorized demo, American Recordings subsequently signed the group. Commenting on the demoes, Ingersoll stated that the demo was made just to get songs down and that "It was something [he] didn't even want people to hear". Despite touring with groups such as Mötley Crüe and Megadeth, they were dropped from the


still fooled by the shadowy forces apparently conspiring to feed us this false narrative, they click and join the circle of those who are free, and no longer being lied to about pirates.

The lies in question are about politics, of course. It turns out that the corporate imperialist West is to blame for piracy in Somalia. By the end of the article, Hari has reached peak Hariness:

'The story of the 2009 war on piracy was best summarised by another pirate, who lived and died in the fourth century BC...'

He's become an eagle surveying the scene from above, and seemingly from a vantage-point in the future. Rather than simply being 'something that's in the news a lot at the moment', the subject of his piece has become 'The story@brianwhelanhack http://bit.ly/mb1u5C'

I knew who Hari was, and had read and admired many of his pieces. Perhaps even shared them on Facebook. He was one of the most celebrated journalists of his generation. A left-wing firebrand, he primarily wrote for The Independent but was published by many others: The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, Le Monde, Slate, The Huffington Post, The New Republic, The Nation, The Evening Standard, GQ... the list goes on. He was a regular on the BBC, with a slot as a cultural reviewer but also in demand on a huge range of political issues. By a relatively young age, he had won several prestigious awards, including The Orwell Prize. He was twice Amnesty UK's 'Newspaper Journalist of the Year', was named


Stonewall's 'Gay Journalist of the Year' and won the Martha Gellhorn Prize.

But it all unravelled after Brian Whelan's article.

Despite liking Johann Hari's stuff and broadly agreeing with his politics, I actually read Brian's piece. All the way through, carefully. And by the time I got to the end of it the answer to the question in Nina's tweet was staring me in the face. Yes, incredible as it seemed, Orwell Prize-winning journalist Johann Hari was a plagiarist. The evidence Brian had presented was incontrovertible, and enough to strip him of all those awards, for him to be sacked from The Independent, for him to explain what he had done and apologise, and for that newspaper and others to launch investigations into what had gone wrong and explain itSarah Brook. The clip is just seven seconds long. She says:

'I was the person who found the – me and my colleague – who found the bullet in the leg.'

I've put it in quotes because it is a direct quote. That is what she said. But it's a little awkward. How to render that in an article? Well, I'd probably not use that quote, but instead write something like 'Brook and a colleague found the bullet in the leg.' And then quote her.

But that isn't what Hari did in his article published this month in the British Airways magazine High Life. Instead, he has this:

'Then a corpse was found. It had been there a while. Most of the meat had rotted away. It was a skeleton with hooves.


the other colleague was and mention their role in the story). I think he twisted the truth here because it made his narrative cleaner, but also sexier and more important: he, Johann Hari, has grabbed the interview with the person who found the bullet in the last ever Vietnamese rhino in existence. If he had told us the truth, that Sarah Brook was one of the people to find it, that would have been less dramatic. In the sentence after the deceptive quote, he has Brook stumbling into 'a turning point in history — one she couldn't have foreseen'. She has become more important than she was in reality. In truth, she and her colleague had stumbled into it together and there might have been others at thebirths

of mobile homes in the village of Union City, Branch county, Michigan. One other corporation should be here mentioned, Milbourn Trailer Sales, Inc., of Jackson, Michigan. It was Milbourn's dishonesty that was at the root of the controversy before us, bringing 2 financiers, Farmers & Merchants Investment Company *577 (the "entruster" under the trust receipts act, supra) into conflict with the local financier, Dart National Bank (hereinafter referred to as the Dart bank).
Pursuant to section 13 of the uniform trusts receipts act (CLS 1956, § 555.413 [Stat Ann 1957 Cum Supp § 19.535(13)]), defendant Farmers & Merchants Investment Company as "entruster" and Milbourn Trailer Sales, Inc., as "trustee" had filed on November 29, 1956 a "Statement of Trust Receipt Financing" with the secretary of State. Subsequently, on Januaryfor the balance. It appears from the record that the entruster would not have complained of the sale had the trustee turned over the proceeds. On the same day, the trustee negotiated and assigned the note and contract, respectively, to plaintiff bank. The trustee did not inform the entruster of these activities, nor remit any money. When in early April, the entruster discovered the sale, defendant Dreschler, its agent, accompanied by W.H. Milbourn, induced the Franks to surrender possession of the trailer and their old trailer was returned to them. Rejecting the entruster's argument that the bank *578 acquired no interest in the trailer, the court below gave plaintiff the relief requested.

It's been a promising start to the 2019/20 Premier League season for Tottenham Hotspur.

A come-from-behind win over newly-promoted Aston Villa on the opening weekend of the campaign was followed up with a credible 2-2 draw away at champions Manchester City six days ago.

Although, the latter had some last minute VAR drama.

The Lilywhites face Newcastle United on Sunday, have a north London derby next weekend, plus the group stage draw for the Champions League is fast approaching, so there's plenty for fans to look forward in the next few days.

Our Spurs writer Alasdair Gold gave his thoughts on some of the big talking points at the Tottenham Hotspurhe adds that side of the game to his performances and becomes more of an all round player, I get the feeling the Spurs boss won’t see him as a regular starter, particularly with all the attacking midfielders the club currently has.

"Lucas should be heartened though by Son’s situation. The South Korean star was in a similar boat, often finding himself out of the team when everyone was fit in his first 18 months or so. He added to his game and made himself undroppable and Lucas has got the ability to do something similar if he keeps working at his game."

Will Kyle Walker-Peters be sufficient at right-back and will Aurier still be at the club by the end of the foreign transfer windows?

Alasdair Gold says: "Let's see


don’t then he might have a real battle on his hands if Walker-Peters finds his sharpness and rhythm with these matches."

How have the club gone from being probably the best in the league at getting players to sign long term contracts to having 3 top class first team players all out of contract in under a year?

Alasdair Gold says: "It's a weird situation. You have to wonder how the club have allowed themselves to get to a point where Eriksen, Alderweireld and Vertonghen are all in the final 11 months of their contracts.

"Much of it comes from a surprising lack of interest in the players from outside meaning they never had suitable bids for their services.

"Would anyone have thought that not one club would have been interested inThey say Alexander the Great saw the breadth of his domain and wept because he had no more worlds to conquer. Manchester City director Simon Pearce saw the breadth of his domain after City walloped Watford 6–0 in the 2019 FA Cup Final. There would be no weeping from Pearce, chief curator of the Abu Dhabi brand and Manchester City’s role within that, but perhaps there was the first nagging sense of doubt. Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea to have done quite so much conquering? Football trophies are not Pearce’s metric of success, and it had been a difficult week.

In the run up to the cup final there had been troubling reports that UEFA were considering banning the English champions from the Champions League because of


charged with mediating peace in Libya, UN special representative Bernardino Leon. Leon now earns £35,000-a-month as the Director General of the Abu Dhabi based Emirates Diplomatic Academy. When the news of the Abu Dhabi government’s rule breaking and corruption of officials broke, the man called in to deal with the negative publicity was, of course, Manchester City director Simon Pearce.

One of the emails dumped online by unknown actors who hacked the emails of the UAE ambassador to the United States, Yousef Al-Otaiba.

“An opportunity presents itself to publish — in ten to fourteen days — a full report on the accusation and the leaked emails for both the UN and Leon,” wrote Pearce on November 13, 2015, the day after the New York Times reported the leak.

In Pearce’s emailDhabi’s stewardship of City, and it came not from searing investigative journalism — City had, with a few notable exceptions been given a free ride by the British press since their takeover of the club in 2008 — but from the blundering hypocrisy of their own manager. Nine months later, in November 2018, this started to become a serious problem.

Pep Guardiola, wearing a yellow ribbon in support of imprisoned Catalan leaders, listens to Rob Harris question his apparent double standards at the 2018 Carabao Cup final press conference.

At the same time as Der Spiegel published a series of splashes that detailed City’s creative accounting, Abu Dhabi’s propensity for arresting and abusing British tourists and businessmen finally made the front pages of the UK press. The abuse of British


nationals in the UAE is not rare. (According to a freedom of information request, forty three British nationals complained of torture or ill-treatment in UAE custody between 2010 and 2015, the UAE authorities are still refusing to provide vital evidence to UK coroners in the inquest into the 2011 death in a UAE jail cell of Lee Bradley Brown, and British tourist Ali Issa Ahmad recently made further allegations about serious abuse in UAE detention after he was allegedly beaten up for wearing a Qatar shirt in Abu Dhabi in February 2019.) But what set this new case apart was that it involved a PhD student, Matthew Hedges, and the accusation was that he had been spying for M16. Hedges had been held at an undisclosed location withoutthis response or to regard it as extraordinary. The City fans who cast doubt on Hedges and expressed their faith in UAE justice in many respects behaved as we should have expected them to — like passionate football fans with a deep sense of attachment to their club.

A visceral sense of one-ness

One person who fully understands the destructive (and constructive) potential of the bonds between supporters and clubs is Dr Martha Newson, a researcher on cognitive and evolutionary anthropology at the University of Oxford.

Martha Newson’s interest in football began at Selhurst Park when she was still a Masters student. Fascinated by the crowd and the clamour, Newson got her notebook out and started furiously scribbling notes, to the horror of her then boyfriend. But the Crystal Palace fans


them the English Premiership. The chant talks of Liverpool fans being ‘battered on the streets’ at the 2018 Champions League final in Kiev, and also contains the lyric ‘victims of it all.’ The most generous assessment would be that it is deeply distasteful. City’s public statement was stout in its defence not just of the players, but of the song: “The song in question, which has been a regular chant during the 2018/19 season, refers to the 2018 Uefa Champions League final in Kiev. Any suggestion that the lyrics relate to Sean Cox or the Hillsborough tragedy is entirely without foundation.” Two weeks later, City’s Chairman, Khaldoon Al-Mubarak, accused La Liga president Javier Tebas of racism after Tebas had called Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain, which is ownedthe same group. The list of people who have had some sort of Rabin treatment is of course much longer and includes Nick Harris, Ewan Mackenna, James Montague, Duncan Castles, and John Nicholson, all of whom have asked awkward questions about the Manchester City project. In amongst the orchestrated attacks on journalists there are some more interesting threads, like the thread on serious allegations of professional misconduct levelled at UEFA’s chief investigator Yves Le Terme, which, as ever, ends with Rabin tagging a series of influential online accounts.

So who is Rabin? Well, this is something he — or she — does not like to discuss. His identity can never be revealed, for reasons that he has never made clear. In June, as questions about his identity and motivations


the 2022 World Cup. And, of course, the government that has been most keen on stripping Qatar of the World Cup is the same government that runs Manchester City.

All of which is to say that if Rabin is not part of an online propaganda campaign paid for by Abu Dhabi, then he should send Simon Pearce his CV and an invoice. If he is, then people — including policymakers and those in charge of football governance — need to pay attention.

Elite european football is now drenched in petrodollars, and English football is in danger of following suit. The proposed Qatari investment in Leeds United would almost certainly make them a powerful force as would any serious Gulf investment in Newcastle United — whether that be from figures inEddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall in Coming to America.

When the Eddie Murphy vehicle Coming to America landed in theaters 30 years ago, it was received in much the same fashion as the comic superstar’s last few pictures (Eddie Murphy: Raw, Beverly Hills Cop II, The Golden Child) — big box office, but middling reviews. A few noted that it marked something of a departure for Mr. Murphy, playing a gentler character in what was, as the studio’s press notes pointed out, his first romantic comedy. But few could have predicted that the film would influence so much of what Murphy did in the years to follow — or the hold it would continue to have on contemporary audiences.

Murphy was the undisputed box office king of


the 1980s, propelling his explosive debut in 48 Hrs. into a series of wildly successful vehicles. He set himself up with an old-fashioned (and lucrative) studio contract at Paramount, where he began to develop his own projects under the “Eddie Murphy Productions” banner. He devised the story to Coming to America (he said; more on that later), of an African prince looking for his queen in Queens, New York, as a chance to work with his pal Arsenio Hall, who had just come to national prominence as Joan Rivers’s replacement host in the final weeks of her failed Fox talk show.

Screenplay duties were handed off to David Sheffield and Barry W. Blaustein, who began writing for Murphy when he was on Saturday Night Live. And to direct, MurphyOct 5th.

The governments of France and Germany have made it clear that under no
circumstances would they send troops to Iraq.

To think they ever would  or that the United Nations Security Council
would ever approve military action against Iraq  was preposterous,
evidence made public this week makes clear.

"Memos from Iraqi intelligence officials, recovered by American and British
inspectors, show the dictator was told as early as May 2002 that France
having been granted oil contracts  would veto any American plans for war,"
the Scotsman newspaper reported.

Evidence uncovered by the Iraq Survey Group (ISG) showed that Russia and
China  two other nations that have vetoes on the Security Council  also
had been bribed by Saddam.

The primary motive for French cooperation, former Deputy Prime Minister
Tarik Aziz told interrogators, was the promise of


lucrative oil deals once
UN sanctions were lifted.

Among Frenchmen receiving bribes were two counselors to President Jacques
Chirac, and the spokesman for his re-election campaign.

Money for the bribes to individuals came chiefly from the UN's "oil for
food" program. The London Telegraph reported this week that the UN
inspector responsible for making sure the "oil for food" program was on the
up and up was paid about $100,000 in bribes from Saddam. Other
beneficiaries of Iraqi largess were Benon Savan, the UN official in overall
charge of the program, and the son of Secretary General Kofi Annan.

ISG chief Charles Duelfer said in the group's report released this week that
Iraq didn't have any ongoing WMD programs at the time the U.S. invaded, but
planned to start them up again as soon as UN sanctions were lifted.

The bribespaid by Saddam to Security Council members and to senior UN
staffers suggest that a deal had been made to lift the sanctions.

"With the infusion of funding and resources following acceptance of the oil
for food program, Iraq effectively shortened the time that would be required
to re-establish production capacity," Duelfer told the Senate. "By 2003,
Iraq would have been able to produce mustard agent in a period of months,
and nerve agent in less than a year or two."

While Kerry vainly pursues "allies" bribed by Saddam, he dumps on the 30
nations which have sent troops to Iraq as a "coalition of the bribed and the
coerced." Demeaning the contributions of and the sacrifices made by, among
others, Britain, Australia, Italy, Poland, Japan and South Korea is a
peculiar way to strengthen America's alliances.

Within an hour


of Prime Minister Iwad Allawi's speech to a joint session of
Congress thanking America for our help, Kerry held a news conference to
demean Allawi as a puppet. In his debate with Vice President Dick Cheney,
Kerry's running mate discounted the sacrifices Iraqi policemen and soldiers
are making in the fight against the terrorists. These are peculiar ways to
bolster a relationship with a key ally.

Last month Kerry's sister, Diana, was in Australia trying to persuade
Australians to leave the coalition. This is a most peculiar way to
strengthen America's alliances in the war on terror.

The other elements of Kerry's "plan" are to train more Iraqis to defend
themselves; to spend more on reconstruction projects in Iraq (while
complaining about building firehouses in Baghdad instead of in the United
States), and to hold elections. All are steps Bushbegan to take long ago.
Kerry is as bereft of ideas on Iraq as he is of consistency and principle.

hysteria about all-mighty Russian cyber-spies”. But for a Russian president who prides himself on efficiency and making Russia look powerful, it all smacks of a major setback.

Even small western European countries with no history of tense geopolitical confrontations with Russia can find themselves targeted

As a teenager Putin was fascinated by 1960s Soviet spy movies. In the early years of his presidency his strong point was his efficiency. One of the reasons he became president in the first place was that he’d proven his worth to the Yeltsin “family” (as it was dubbed) while running the FSB secret services. His agents were ordered to ensnare the Russian general prosecutor Yuri Skuratov in a honey trap, so as to stop him investigating high-level graft. Soon enough, a video broadcast onfall of communism, eastern Europeans have often felt that their anti-Russian mindset was caricatured by western Europeans as hysterical and obsessed with the neo-imperialism lurking in Moscow. After Estonia was hit by a massive Russian cyber-attack in 2007, few in Paris or Berlin worried the danger might one day extend further west.

Now, with the Netherlands so meticulously exposing Russian actions, it’s become ever clearer that even small western European countries with no history of tense geopolitical confrontations with Russia – not just “scare-mongering” eastern ones – can find themselves targeted.

There is no legacy of great power rivalry between the Dutch and the Russians. Nor is the Netherlands one of those of European countries that has historically suffered the worst of Russian or Soviet aggression, whether in world war

(CNN) - Bill Clinton regrets the swirl over comments he made earlier in the week in which he appeared to suggest he would be open to extending the so-called Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, the former president said Thursday.

"I'm very sorry about what happened," Clinton said in an interview to air on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." "I thought something had to be done on the 'fiscal cliff' before the election. Apparently nothing has to be done until the first of the year."- Follow the Ticker on Twitter: @PoliticalTicker

Republicans seized on Clinton's remarks this week when he said lawmakers will likely put off a series of major spending and budget decisions. They argued the former president was siding with many in the GOP who callfor the extension of the controversial tax cuts largely opposed by Democrats.

"[Congress] will probably have to put everything off until early next year," Clinton said Tuesday during an interview with CNBC. "That's probably the best thing to do right now."

The "fiscal cliff" consists of measures set to begin in January that would remove more than $500 billion out of the economy in 2013 alone. Those measures include the expiration of the Bush tax cuts and protection of the middle class from the Alternative Minimum Tax, the onset of $1 trillion in blunt spending cuts, and a reduction in Medicare doctors' pay.

On Thursday, however, Clinton argued that he, in fact, supported President Barack Obama's position, which calls for an end to the tax cuts only for those making $250,000


or more.

The former president emphasized he was mistaken about the timing of the fiscal cliff when he made his comments, thinking it would happen before the November election, rather than at the beginning of next year.

"I really was under the impression that they would have to do something before the election, and I was trying to figure out how they would kick it to last (through) the election," he said.

He continued: "Once I realized that nothing had to be done until the first of the year, I supported (Obama's) position. I supported extending them last year, but I think his position is the right one and necessary for working out a comprehensive (deficit reduction) deal."

The comments marked the second time Republicans pounced on Clinton in a week, tryingfor Obama this cycle, some critics argue Clinton's recent slip-ups are attempts to undermine the current president. Asked about his relationship with Obama, Clinton did not directly comment on his personal views of the president but pointed to his record of campaigning for him, instead.

"Look in 2008, when he ran for president and defeated Hillary in the primaries, I did 40 events for him. 40 in the election," he said.

He then said he repeatedly argues the president has "done a good job, a really good job under very trying circumstances" and stressed that he is "strongly committed" to Obama's re-election.

Thursday's interview came the same day a new CNN/ORC International poll indicated 66% of Americans hold a favorable view of Clinton, while 31% give him an unfavorable rating.

In this episode: your hosts shatter some myths with The Immortals, present the 2011 Spoiler Alert Awards, wildly predict 2012 andThe Massachusetts House appears poised Wednesday to take up legislation giving state cannabis regulators the authority to review and regulate the agreements marijuana businesses are legally required to enter into with their host municipalities.

Marijuana advocates and regulators have been wrestling with the issue of host community agreements (HCAs) for more than a year as entrepreneurs, lawyers and lobbyists have shared stories about cities or towns demanding more from businesses than the state's marijuana laws allow. Activists and business owners have pointed to the required agreements as one reason for the slower-than-anticipated rollout of the retail marijuana market and as a barrier that's keeping small businesses from establishing themselves in the new industry.

Second Assistant Majority Leader Rep. Paul Donato said after Monday's session that the host community agreement bill


is on the House's agenda for the formal session it has planned for Wednesday.

Legislative clarity on HCAs and enforcement of those agreements could help clear up one of the thorniest issues that has faced regulators as the legal marijuana industry establishes itself in Massachusetts.

Late last month, lawmakers on the Joint Committee on Cannabis Policy advanced a redrafted bill (H 4327/S 2479) that would give the Cannabis Control Commission express authority to review and regulate the mandatory agreements and payments.

It was not immediately clear whether that redrafted bill, which the House sent to the Committee on Health Care Financing and which the Senate sent to its Ways and Means Committee, is the one the House intends to discuss Wednesday.

Queiroz lost his cool after Persepolis coach Branko Ivankovic criticized him over holding a training camp in Dubai, the UAE.

Queiroz expelled seven Persepolis’s players from the camp in response to Croat’s allegations.

Bernard Gray appointed Chief of Defence Materiel

His responsibility includes MOD assets worth £104bn and an annual operating budget of £13bn.

Mr Gray replaces General Sir Kevin O’Donoghue who has been in the post since its creation in April 2007 and is retiring.

Mr Gray will take up his four-year appointment on 4 January 2011.

Secretary of State for Defence, Dr Liam Fox, said:

Bernard Gray is without question the best man for this hugely demanding post at a uniquely challenging time. He brings to it deep knowledge and experience of Defence generally, defence procurement specifically, of the Whitehall machine and the commercial world.

Unlike many others who talk about the problems facing defence procurement, he talks about solutions. He will provide clear direction and leadership to DE&S during the very challenging time aheadon how the Department could improve the purchasing and delivering of equipment.

The report was presented to parliament in October 2009, with the MOD accepting its two main themes: a need to bring equipment plans into line with likely available resources; and a need to improve equipment programme planning, management and delivery.

In his earlier career Mr Gray spent almost 10 years as a journalist on the Financial Times Group, including spells as the FT’s Defence Correspondent and writing the Lex Column. He started his career with five years in investment banking and capital markets working for Bankers Trust and Chase Manhattan in London and New York.

In non-executive roles, Mr Gray has been a director of Cable & Wireless and Five, the UK broadcaster.

Washington (AFP) - A sharply divided US Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday in a case about the 2020 census that could have high-stakes implications for the future balance of political power in the United States.

At the heart of the case is a bid by the administration of Republican President Donald Trump to ask respondents of the 2020 census whether they are US citizens.

Opponents of the citizenship question say this could potentially curtail Democratic representation in Congress since most non-citizens reside in states with Democratic majorities.

If non-citizens avoid census-takers for fear of running afoul of the immigration authorities, states where they live could lose federal funding and seats in the House of Representatives.

House seats are allocated on the basis of the census and the data also play afor next year's national population count he intended to reintroduce the citizenship question abandoned more than 60 years ago.

Some 20 states including Democratic-led California and New York, as well as major cities like Chicago and San Francisco, filed legal actions against the move.

Story continues

Courts in New York and elsewhere ruled against including the citizenship question, leading the Trump administration to ask the nation's highest court to intervene.

- Ruling expected by June -

The case is given added urgency because census forms will need to be printed up this summer. The court is expected to rule by June.

Both sides acknowledged on Tuesday that including the citizenship question would have an impact on the number of respondents.

According to US Census Bureau experts, between 1.6 million and 6.5 million people -- many

But a federal judge dismissed that explanation as a "sham" and said Ross pressured his own staff to ask the Justice Department to request the citizenship question.

"Nobody doubts that there will be less people reported," said Sotomayor, adding that establishing resident numbers was the goal, not finding out how many were citizens.

Arguing for the Trump administration, Solicitor General Noel Francisco said a citizenship question "has been asked as part of the census in one form or another for nearly 200 years."

Francisco was cut short by Sotomayor who said the question was dropped in 1950 and wasTony Ferguson eyes Nate Diaz next: ‘I haven’t had a knockout in a long time’

Border tax unacceptable - Will Grant, BBC News, Mexico City

President Enrique Pena Nieto would have been perceived as very weak if he had travelled to Washington for talks and for many here it would have been tantamount to accepting Mr Trump's central claim - that Mexico will pay for the US border wall.

If that is not up front, then it may come eventually - perhaps under the latest proposal being floated by Donald Trump's White House, a massive 20% border tax on Mexican imports.

As Mexico exports some $300bn


of goods a year to the US, the impact of such a proposal would be felt across the country.

Furthermore, the idea of funding a wall through a new tariff is simply unacceptable to most ordinary Mexicans who view the wall as unnecessary, inhumane, expensive and ineffective.

As their elected leader, at least for the next 18 months, Enrique Pena Nieto was left with little option but to deliver that message to the White House - by not going there in person.

The rift between the neighbours and trade partners has deepened just days into Mr Trump's presidency.

After Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto pulled out of next week's summit, Mr Trump said the meeting would have been "fruitless" if Mexico didn't treat the US "with respect" and pay for the wall.

EarlierMr Pena Nieto said he "lamented" the plans for the barrier.

In a televised address, the Mexican leader told the nation: "I've said time and again: Mexico won't pay for any wall."

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham warned that US consumers may wind up bearing the cost of the proposed tax.

"Any tariff we can levy they can levy. Huge barrier to econ growth", he wrote online.

"Build that wall" was one of Mr Trump's campaign rally slogans.

Miami-Havana direct maritime shipment service, first in decades, has stopped

MIAMI (AP) — It was two weeks before Christmas, and Robinson Perez had bundles of gifts ready for his family in Cuba: A giant plastic Barbie doll and stuffed animals for his two daughters. For his pregnant sister, a wooden crib and baby clothes.

Perez could not go to Cuba for the holidays, so he chose the next best


thing: Maritime shipping from Miami to Havana.

The freight service was launched in July by International Port Corp. to significant fanfare. It was the first direct maritime shipment of humanitarian goods between Miami and Havana since the U.S. economic embargo began against Fidel Castro’s communist government five decades ago.

Thousands of customers began sending goods like medicine, toiletries and food at lower cost than by airplane. Others began sending big items that had been difficult to ship by air: washing machines, refrigerators and housing construction supplies.

Less than a year later, however, the service has ground to a halt, The Associated Press has learned. The ship had mechanical problems, the International Port Corp. was sued for allegedly not paying its bills and the Cuban government’s package delivery company provided slow service.that sent packages to Cuba once were threatened or even bombed by anti-Castro groups, that violence has largely ended.

Cuban-Americans had already been sending parcels to their relatives on the island, but primarily through often illegal third-country routes and “mules” – people who travel to the island with packages they then deliver for a fee.

Nussbaum said he coordinated with the Coast Guard and Cuban authorities to charter a ship both sides could approve. They chose the Ana Cecilia, a medium-sized cargo ship painted red, white and blue – the colors of the U.S. and Cuban flags – owned by Miami Epic Shipping.

International Port Corp. also set up a contract with CubaPACK, Cuba’s government-owned delivery service, to deliver packages in Havana within a week to 10 days, and to the


sister, Maipu Marin Lopez, was first told the items would arrive by Dec. 29. But that day came and went.

In mid-January, the first of the packages Robinson sent arrived. The others came in bit by bit. The final item, the frame of a baby crib, did not arrive until the first week of February – more than a month late, though still in time for the baby.

“The most important thing is the crib for the baby, and I was upset it had not arrived,” she said.

Back in Miami, the dock where the Ana Cecilia once departed for Havana is now empty. The building where Robinson sent his packages from is closed. A sign advertising shipments to Cuba is gone.

Sanchez says they are no longer collecting packages at theterminal because they have set up new sites around the city.

In fact, court documents show the International Port was served an eviction complaint in January. Neil Ruben, an attorney for Shaw Marine Terminal, said International Port voluntarily vacated the property. A lawsuit claiming the company still owes rent dating back to October is winding through the courts. So is another filed by Epic Shipping.

Sanchez and Nussbaum said International Port dispute the claims in both lawsuits, though neither would go into detail.

“I assure you that everything is in order and this will all come out in the litigation,” Nussbaum said.

Families are still sending packages by plane, but the dream of maritime shipping from Miami to Havana has, at least for the moment, sailed into thin air.

Josephine Wiggs walks us through the album's creation, its new live legacy, and her feelings towards that little classic known as Pod.A massage therapist who anonymously accused actor Kevin Spacey of sexual assault has died, according to court records.

The plaintiff, known only in court documents as "John Doe," alleged that Spacey forced him to grab his genitals while giving the actor a massage in a private residence in Malibu, California. The suit was originally filed against Spacey in September 2018, though the actor insisted that the veiled identity of the plaintiff should prevent the civil action from going forward. The judge approved the pursuit of the judgment in May of this year.

A plan had been assembled by all involved parties in August to proceed with the suit in a trial that would last at least seven days. However, the attorney for the accuser informed Spacey this week that his


client had "recently passed."

Court records did not indicate how long the plaintiff had been deceased but noted that his counsel was informed on Sept. 11. Another document indicated that further details were pending.

Spacey also received legal relief in July after another accuser, William Little, abruptly stopped cooperating with prosecutors in a criminal case stemming from an alleged incident in Nantucket, Massachusetts, in 2017. Spacey was accused by Little's mother of plying her son with alcohol at a bar then forcing him to touch his genitals. Spacey would have faced up to five years in prison for the alleged offense, but prosecutors officially dropped charges after Little invoked his Fifth Amendment privilege to stay silent.

Kanazawa (金沢) Preview

I am excited to be making an excursion this year to Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture. It's my first time to the city and only my second time to the Japan Sea side of the country. Kanazawa was a seat of wealth and power throughout most of the Edo Era as it was the home of the Maeda clan, the second most powerful after the Tokugawa clan in Edo. The Maeda's were patrons of art and culture, and fine lacquerware, tea ceremony, and Noh theatre flourished. In stride with these traditions rose a grand culinary one as well. To put it simply, there is a lot to be excited about when it comes to dining in Kanazawa. Just reading up on I'm starting to draw


a conclusion that it provides a kind of "perfect storm" of the essentials of Japanese cuisine- blindingly fresh seafood caught locally and sold at an impressive market, locally grown vegetables, a distinct regional cuisine, Kyoto-rivaling courtly traditions, a strong reputation for Japanese sweets, excellent rice, and superior sake.

------------------------Kaga Cuisine (加賀料理)----------------------Although a bit under the radar, all sources say that the local Kaga kaiseki cuisine rivals Kyoto in the use of seasonal and local ingredients and the refinement with which it is served. There's some tongue in cheek speculation that kaiseki developed in Kanazawa as a means to show off the fine lacquerware.

For a city of half a million, there seem to be several dozen establishments serving kaiseki, including many attractive ryokan.

Barclay left Scotstoun on crutches, with his foot in a protective boot, after suffering an ankle injury

Pro14 final Venue: Aviva Stadium, Dublin Date: Saturday, 26 May Kick-off: 18:00 BST Coverage: Live on S4C, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru & BBC Sport website and BBC Sport app.

Scarlets and Scotland back-rower John Barclay has undergone surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon after being ruled out of the Pro14 final against Leinster in Dublin on Saturday.

The 31-year-old suffered the injury in Friday's semi-final win at Glasgow.

It means the Edinburgh-bound player's five-year career at Scarlets is over.

Scarlets stated: "We have made arrangements for John to begin his recovery and rehabilitation in Edinburgh."

Scarlets ran in four tries at Scotstoun as they overcame the hosts to


reach their second successive final, but Barclay departed after nine minutes because of the injury.

Leinster beat Munster 16-15 in Saturday's second semi-final to book their date with the reigning champions.

Barclay was among several senior Scotland players rested from their summer tour of Canada, USA and Argentina.

Pivac praise

Scarlets coach Wayne Pivac praised Barclay's influence at the region.

"John has been huge," said Scarlets coach Wayne Pivac.

"He arrived the season before I got here.

"I've been here four years now and John's been a massive part of this squad.

"He's captained the side a lot when Ken (Owens) has been unavailable and did a very good job. He is fantastic with the referees on the field and is a very good player in his own right.

Markets had rebounded by late in the day, but they're still fragile, economists say. Leaders of France and Germany have announced plans to meet next week to discuss Europe's financial troubles.

ByAngela CharltonGreg Keller, Associated PressAugust 11, 2011

France's far-right National Front party leader Marine Le Pen delivers a speech on the financial crisis in France, at the party's headquarters in Nanterre, suburban Paris, Thursday, Aug. 11, 2011. European regulators increased surveillance of financial markets and leading French bankers and officials scrambled to calm nerves after a two-day sell-off that has wiped billions off banks' market value. None of the efforts appeared to settle markets jittery about the health of French banks and of the US and European economies as they struggle to


overcome debts.

PARIS — French bankers and officials scrambled to calm nerves on Thursday after two days of whipsaw trading that saw their banks' market value fall and rise by billions of euros.

By late in the day those efforts appeared to settle markets jittery about the health of French banks and the heavily indebted U.S. and European economies. Economists said the rebound remained very fragile.

The leaders of the eurozone's biggest economies, Germany and France, announced they will meet Tuesday to discuss solutions to Europe's financial difficulties.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy's office said that the two will come up with "joint proposals" on the governance of the eurozone before the end of the summer. Chancellor Angela Merkel's spokesman said the meeting would focus on suggestions for how to improve the zone'srise in unemployment after a series of unpopular austerity measures aimed at dragging it out of debt that sparked troubles across the eurozone.

And Italy's finance minister, Giulio Tremonti, told lawmakers Thursday that tough and speedy measures are needed over the next two years to balance the budget in 2013. The market turbulence has seen Italy's borrowing costs in the markets spike up to uncomfortably high levels.


Wothahellizat Mk2 DIY Expedition Motorhome

posted 3 years ago

The "Wothahellizat" Mk2 is a 38-year-old army truck. Rob and Chris bought the truck in 1997 and spent three years turning it into Australia's largest and weirdest off-road motor home (The wothahellizat Mk)1. Then in 2007/8 they rebuild it into a this smaller version The Wothahellizat Mk2.

It's from the deck of this vehicle (yes a patio folds out from the back) that most of this diary is written, a 14-tonne editor's desk!

Wothahellizat is fully self contained with enough food and water storage to spend weeks in the bush.

It's six-wheel-drive with good clearances, so quite able to handle the rough stuff. However at over 3m high and 8m long there are a lot of places it doesn't fit, so we have twomountain bikes, a trail bike, and a Suzuki Jimny 4x4 as well.

Rob Gray (AKA the GRAYnomad) spent the 80s and most of the 90s as a mild-mannered computer nerd, and now, in the naughties, has returned to photography.

In 1997, while on a camping trip to Frazer Island and Carnarvon Gorge, Rob, and his wife Chris, decided that they were sick of computing and that a change was in order. The seeds were sown, and four years later they had grown into a 34-foot motorhome (Wothahellizat Mk1) that Rob and Chris used to hit the road.

Rob was also an itinerant, globe-trotting photographer during the 70s, a career sparked by the purchase of his first camera in Panama in 1972.

CBSE Board 1othExam Time Table 2018

CBSE Board High School Time Table 2018- A trail of developments mark the significant changes that took place over the years in shaping up the Board to its present status. U P Board of High School and Intermediate Education was the first Board set up in 1921. It has under its jurisdiction Rajputana, Central India and Gwalior. In response to the representation made by the Government of United Provinces, the then Government of India suggested to set up a joint Board in 1929 for all the areas which was named as the ‘Board of High School and Intermediate Education, Rajputana’. This included Ajmer, Merwara, Central India and Gwalior.

The Board witnessed rapid growth and expansion at the level of Secondary education resulting in improved quality and


standard of education in institutions. But with the advent of State Universities and State Boards in various parts of the country the jurisdiction of the Board was confined only to Ajmer, Bhopal and Vindhya Pradesh later. As a result of this, in 1952, the constitution of the Board was amended wherein its jurisdiction was extended to part-C and Part-D territories and the Board was given its present name ‘Central Board of Secondary Education’. It was in the year 1962 finally that the Board was reconstituted. The main objectives were to serve the educational institutions more effectively, to be responsive to the educational needs of those students whose parents were employed in the Central Government and had frequently transferable jobs.

Oh for the simpler days, when things were just large, king-size, or jumbo.

Jumbo was the name of one of the largest elephants ever— six and one half tons of pure pachyderm and the prize property of the London Zoo. Sold to P.T. Barnum, Jumbo went on to become the feature attraction of the greatest show on earth. His fame was such that when he died in a railway accident in Ontario in 1885, people the world over shed copious tears on his passing.

Jumbo also had his moments as a metaphor, but it too passed from the language, joining gargantuan — from the giant of medieval lore popularized by Rabelais; colossal ( from the Greek and Latin for a “giant statue”) — for the enormous representation at Rhodes ofThe Major League Baseball season will begin in Sydney next March, with the Los Angeles Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks set to play two games at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

Fairfax Media can reveal that Sydney has won the rights to host the opening series, marking 100 years since the Chicago White Sox played against a combined NSW team in 1914.

Major League Baseball, the Australian Baseball League and Destination NSW have been working on the project for several years. An official announcement is expected on Thursday.

The move is a massive coup for Australian sport and for Sydney. It is expected the matches will be seen by a global television audience of 175 million, with about 75 million of those viewers in the US alone. The event is also expected to


provide a boost to the NSW economy, drawing at least 15,000 overseas tourists and generating tens of millions of dollars to the local economy.

One of the biggest drawcards won’t be playing. Dodgers owner Earvin "Magic" Johnson is a further selling point in what will be one of the biggest events since the Sydney Olympics. A National Basketball Association hall of famer following his exploits for the Los Angeles Lakers, Johnson will watch his team play at the SCG on March 22 and 23.

ICC Men's Cricket World Cup, Trent Bridge Pakistan 348-8 (50 overs): Mohammad Hafeez 84, Woakes 3-71 England 334-9 (50 overs): Root 107, Wahab 3-82 Pakistan won by 14 runs Scorecard . Table . Schedule

England suffered a stunning upset at the hands of inspired Pakistan in their second World Cup match at Trent Bridge.

The hosts and favourites were surprisingly lacklustre in the field as Pakistan, roared on by their noisy and vibrant fans, posted 348-8.

Even though England have made a habit of overhauling such targets, they were still faced with having to pull off the most successful chase in World Cup history.

And they were denied by the rejuvenated Pakistanis, who had lost their previous 11 one-day internationals including a 4-0 series defeat by


England prior to the tournament and then a humiliation against West Indies on this ground on Friday.

Despite Joe Root's 107, the first century of the tournament, and a 75-ball ton from Jos Buttler, England were restricted to 334-9 to lose by 14 runs.

In a tournament where the 10 teams play each other once to determine the semi-finalists, there are plenty of opportunities for England to get their campaign back on track, starting with Bangladesh in Cardiff on Saturday.

Pakistan, renowned for veering from shambolic to sublime in global tournaments, will look to continue their resurgence in Sri Lanka in Bristol on Friday.

The day the World Cup came to life

After England opened their tournament by beating South Africa at The Oval on Thursday, captain Eoin Morgan asserted that they willnot go through the competition unbeaten.

Similarly, on Sunday, Pakistan bowling coach Azhar Mahmood defiantly claimed his side could reverse their fortunes and beat Morgan's men.

Both were right.

Indeed, both sides were almost entirely transformed from their first matches. Whereas Pakistan improved immeasurably, England were inexplicably shoddy.

Not only that, but England often let their frustrations boil over in the field and there were a number of noticeable moments of tension between the two sides when they came to bat.

All of this was played out in an electric atmosphere, created mainly by Pakistan fans, whose near constant din was only dimmed when Root and Buttler were together.

The tension of the contest and energy of the crowd amounted to a wonderful occasion. This was the day that the World Cup came to


fashion to the pace of Mohammad Amir.

Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali turned an equation of 61 from 39 balls to 29 from 14, but when both fell in successive Wahab Riaz deliveries, the game was up.

Slapdash England punished

By the metric of their own team analyst, England put in their best fielding performance for four years in defeating South Africa. This must rank as one of their worst.

Not only was the ground fielding littered with errors, but Roy put down the most straightforward chance off Mohammad Hafeez on 14. Hafeez went on to make 84.

Woakes at least equalled a World Cup record with four catches, three superbly taken on the boundary, but he was one of a number of disappointing bowlers - his 3-71 made more respectable by someimproved death bowling.

Adil Rashid and Jofra Archer were expensive as only Moeen, who claimed 3-50, and Mark Wood, in the side for Liam Plunkett, provided any sort of control.

Pakistan, who were blown away by a barrage of West Indies bouncers on Friday, cashed in.

Openers Fakhar Zaman and Imam-ul-Haq added 82 in 14 overs, with Babar then particularly harsh on Rashid in his 63. Hafeez was the most aggressive, while captain Sarfaraz Ahmed favoured the leg side for 55.

'A great advertisement for the tournament' - what they said

England captain Eoin Morgan: "It was a very good game of cricket and a great advertisement for the tournament. We're bitterly disappointed to be on the wrong end of the result though.

"Trent Bridge is a high scoring ground, we felt the wicket

Players in Scotland should aim to imitate Scott Brown instead of being jealous, says Celtic's Brendan Rodgers.

Brown's manager was discussing the fall out from Ross County defender Andrew Davies' challenge on the Celtic captain at the weekend.

That looks unlikely to be punished further by the Scottish FA.

"He's a player that, instead of being envious of, needs to be emulated in terms of his qualities," said Rodgers of the midfielder.

The former Liverpool boss says the midfielder would make it at the very top of the English game but cannot understand why he is singled out for criticism in Scotland.

"In the time I've been up here, there's been a lot of envy towards Scott Brown," he said as he looked forward to Wednesday's Scottish


Premiership visit by Dundee.

"I see it in certain media sectors. I see it in the playing sector and I see it in managers also.

Scott Brown appeared to be in good mood as he led Celtic training on Tuesday

"I think what rarely gets talked about is how good a player he is.

"I've been lucky enough to work in the English Championship, in the lower Premier League and at the top of the Premier League and this is a player who goes right in at the very top."

Rodgers compared the abuse Brown receives to that endured by Barcelona's Luis Suarez when he managed the Uruguay striker at Liverpool.

"Yes, he's one of those characters," the Celtic manager said. "I had it with Luis Suarez.

Harriel then called Michael Hughes[1] to arrange for the purchase of a quarter-ounce of crack cocaine. Hughes told Harriel that while he did not have that much crack, he knew someone who didConner. Hughes directed Harriel to meet him later that day at Connor's residence, 700 West Grand Avenue in Beloit.
When Harriel arrived at the location, he got into the backseat of Hughes's car. Hughes was seated in the driver's seat, and Vernon Hughes, whom Harriel did not know, was in the passenger's seat. The three waited for several minutes before Conner pulled up behind them, exited his car,


and entered Hughes's car. Harriel gave cash to Hughes, who passed it to Conner, and Conner handed a brown paper bag to Harriel. Following the transaction, Harriel returned to the safe site, where he turned over the paper bag to Officer Dammen. Later inspection revealed that the bag contained 5.737 grams of crack cocaine.
Throughout the transaction, a police surveillance team, including Officer Dammen, monitored the activities from a nearby van. Officer Dammen's account of events was consistent with the version presented by Hughes and Harriel, although Dammen did not mention seeing another individual in the passenger's seat of Hughes's car.
A few weeks later, on January 10, 2007, Harriel participated in another controlled buy for Officer Dammen. On that day, Harriel called Conner to again purchase crack cocaine. Connerto take place. When they arrived, Robison got into the car, where he sold the crack to Harriel. Harriel then returned to the safe site and gave the drugs to Officer Dammen.
On March 8, 2007, a grand jury returned a three-count indictment against Hughes, Robison, and Conner. Conner was only named in Count One of the indictment, which charged Conner and Hughes with distributing more than five grams of cocaine base on December 20, 2006. Count Two charged Hughes and Robison with distributing more than five grams of cocaine base on January 10, 2007, and Count Three charged Hughes with distributing more than five grams of cocaine base on January 18, 2007. Hughes and Robison pled guilty and agreed to cooperate with the government, and Conner chose to


regarding Conner's prior drug dealings with Hughes and Robison. Hughes testified that he and Conner started dealing drugs together in 1995, and that Conner dealt crack cocaine out of his residence at 700 West Grand Avenue. He also described how Conner would "rock up" or prepare the crack cocaine and how much money Conner typically received from these drug sales. Robison testified that he started working for Conner as a middleman in 2006. Conner directed Robison to make drug pickups and deliveries of cocaine, and he supplied Robison with money to buy product to sell to customers. Robison also testified that because he had a driver's license, he drove Conner to Rockford to purchase cocaine and obtained rental cars to use in their drug transactions.
