"Of course."

"Don't do anything stupid and give me a reason to have to kill your boyfriend." I rolled my eyes and looked drolly at him. "Love ya, kid."

"Love you, too. Bye."

Bish just smiled and cocked his head at Caleb in contest. Caleb laughed, nodded good naturedly, took his luggage and my bag as we made our way through the revolving doors of the airport entrance way. I looked back over my shoulder and saw them still watching us go. I waved and followed Caleb to the ticket counter. He handled everything for us.

We went to sit at our gate after going through security and he asked me if I was ok.

"Yeah, I just hope Bish goes back to New York and doesn't cause trouble. I mean, I lovewe don't need to wait.

After the wedding?

Yeah. We wait until our wedding to...consummate. He had a little grin. Just like you want to. My mouth opened for a second before I remembered that I didn't have to tell him things anymore. But remember that most people only wait a couple weeks to get married so it's not that big of a stretch.

But you do both...sex and mutuality once you're married?

Yes, and when you do them together...it's supposed to be insane. Like uncontrollable, really powerful...pleasure.

I was blushing just talking about it, let alone doing it.

I argued but it didn't help. I'd have to get used to him buying stuff for me. The measly amount I had saved in my bank account from waiting tables wouldn't have even paid for one of those plane tickets, I was sure. He smirked at my pout and gripped my hand in my lap, rubbing the back of my fingers with his thumb. It didn't take long for me to soften when his touch sent warmth and tingles through me. When I laced our fingers he sighed in satisfaction and pulled my hand upto kiss it.

I closed my eyes and it didn't seem like an hour had passed, but as he told me to look, we were pulling into the driveway of a very pretty white house that looked anything but a vacation place in the Jeep's headlights. It was as big as my regular house. It had blue shutters and a wrap around porch. There were vines and flowers blooming everywhere and a sign made of driftwood that said 'Jacobson' by the front door.

"Wow."

"Yeah," he agreed and put the Jeep in park. "The fam comes up here at least twice a year. I love it here. Come on, it's even better on the inside."

We grabbed our stuff and went in. It was all white and crisp and clean. It even

I laughed in joy. This was my temporary home and I was in love.

"I knew you'd like this."

"I love it," I told him. I turned to look at him. "Oh, my gosh, Caleb. This is so great."

"Good, I'm glad you like it. Now maybe I can get you to relax." He smiled and pulled me close with his hands on my hips. "Take it easy for a while and not be so wound tight."

"I've had good reason to be so wound," I countered.

"I know. Now you have good reason not to be," he said smirking. "This," he waved his armsmiling and muttered a quick "sorry", casting his eyes down at his book.

When I looked back toward the front of the room, Bo was watching me and I smiled uncomfortably. He looked at me for a moment longer, straight-faced and serious, and then turned his attention to Mr. Dole who was ready to begin the lesson.

I got absolutely nothing out of class, although I could hardly have called it boring today. I was on pins and needles the entire hour. Though he didn't make eye contact with me again that period, I saw Bo turn his head numerous times, as if glancing at me via his peripheral vision. My heart stopped each time he did it, thinking he might turn all the way around and look at me,

Up close at night, his eyes appeared to be endless wells of inky liquid. The low light shone on their glassy surfaces and sparkled. His hair was the rumpled mass of jagged peaks that it always was and his jaw was dark with five o'clock shadow.

He smelled wonderful, too. I could tell it wasn't cologne. He just smelled clean, like soap and something tangy, spicy.

"Need some help?"

Though his voice was not much more than a whisper, I heard him clearly. It was as if his soft words resonated somewhere deep inside me, causing a little thrill of pleasure to vibrate through my body like a tuning fork.

Last weekend’s national convention of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC which saw the emergence of a former labour leader and immediate past Governor of Edo state, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as its National Chairman may be an indication of the readiness of the party to retain power at the 2019 elections.

This is because the former comrade-governor appears very clear-headed as to what the party must do to sweep out the remnants of the PDP across the federation.

According to him, the APC must help Nigerians to not forget in a hurry, “those who looted this country for 16 years”.

He said the ruling party would do more to ensure that issues of unemployment, investments, security, anti-corruption and many more form the basis of discussions aheadof the next elections.

With the promise to make the APC an ideologically-based party which will no longer be a platform for elements “from both the extreme left and extreme right”, his leadership is all out to reset the tone of political conversations in the country.

Since assumption of office however, his major tasks have been about reconciling warring factions in the party because as he said, a divided APC would pose lesser threat to the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party PDP and so, even in his acceptance speech at the convention grounds, he had harped on the need to ensure that noons leaves the APC

nPDP have nowhere else to go than remain APC

In his acceptance speech, Comrade Oshiomhole urged all aggrieved stakeholders in the party, including the defunct new


so that in the end we can have a win-win situation in any of the states were we have challenges and even on issues affecting various arms of government elected on the platform of our party”.

However, with President Muhammadu Buhari already foreclosing further chances of negotiations with the members of the defunct nPDP, it remains to be seen how Oshiomhole intends to keep the broom together as one united bunch.

Leaders of the nPDP have continued to insist on the elimination of injustice in the party. Speaker Yakubu Dogara who was also at the national convention, urged the new executives to treat the issue of injustice in the party with all seriousness and not minding whose Ox is gored.

“There is one issue that is very critical to our existenceand win votes for the President in the region.

Oshiomhole received the delegations led separately by the Minister for Women Affairs, Sen. Aisha Alhassan and Sen. Yusuf Abubakar Yusuf at the Party’s National Secretariat.

The APC National Chairman assured the delegations that one of his top priorities was to address disputations arising from the Party’s recently held congresses and the National Convention.

Oshiomhole told the delegation that he was awaiting the report of the National Convention Committee chaired by the Jigawa State Governor, Alh. Mohammed Badaru Abubakar.

Oshiomhole said Badaru made commitments to some of the aggrieved parties which the National Working Committee (NWC) will urgently consider upon receipt of the Convention Committee report.

He urged members to commit themselves to party unity and supremacy.

“We must work to present a united front ahead


of the 2019 general elections. Wherever we have a crack, we will mend it as soon as possible. On our part, we will be guided by principle of fairness and justice. The determination to win the governorship election in Taraba and the presidential election is enough incentive for compromise… We won the Taraba governorship election in 2015, but were manoeuvred out. In 2019, those manipulation instruments will not be at their disposal”, he said.

APC Vs OBJ

Knowing his contributions to the emergence of the present administration, one of the obstacles to its ambition to remain in power beyond 2019 is certainly former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Hence, in a vicious attempt battle Obasanjo, a national leader of the party, Bola Tinubu accused Chief Obasanjo of being a meddlesome interloper in theparty, his sole legacy”, he stated.

In the same vein, Oshiomhole has asked President Buhari to probe and prosecute the former president and make him refund the alleged $16 billion voted for the energy sector under his administration.

He has consequently told the president that Chief Obasanjo is not above arrest because the immunity of a president is not for life.

Ekiti as litmus test for 2019

The July 14 governorship election in Ekiti state would be the first litmus test for the new Oshiomhole-led National Working Committee NWC. Though, the ruling party does not enjoy incumbency in the state, if it performs dismally at the polls, it could signal the decline in the massive goodwill that it enjoyed in the last general elections.

Thus, the outcome of the governorship election could be


Melanie Rope wants people to know about actor Will Strongheart's history of violence against her and others, before making a choice about whether or not to see the movie Indian Horse.

"It's not about trying to take away from this movie, but maybe just giving people the option to think twice before before they go and see it," said Rope, who is Nakoda woman from the Carry the Kettle Nakoda First Nation in Saskatchewan. She is currently a pre-social work student at the University of Regina and says she dated Strongheart for just under a year in 2009-2010.

What Rope does want, is for people to know about Strongheart's past and to discover how he was cast in such an important film.

On Friday Rope made a public Facebook post aboutthe vicious assault she experienced at the hands of Strongheart, along with a photo of her swollen, bruised face after she was released from hospital.

"He was threatening to kill me as he was beating me," said Rope, recalling the night when she says Strongheart beat her in his Regina home after flying into a jealous rage. Rope says Strongheart was subsequently charged, convicted and sentenced on two counts of assault causing bodily harm.

He spent 18 months in custody. Six months in a Regina correctional facility and one year at the Willow Creek Healing Lodge.

It's not about trying to take away from


this movie, but maybe just giving people the option to think twice before before they go and see it. - Melanie Rope

Rope's post, which detailed other allegations of abuse from other former partners of Strongheart, was shared widely on social media beginning on Friday morning — nearly 10,000 times — until being pulled down by Facebook on Saturday.

At the same time, Indian Horse, a film in which Strongheart plays a supporting role, is getting national media attention as it begins screening in theatres across Canada.

The much-anticipated film is based on the award-winning novel by the late Richard Wagamese and tells a heart-wrenching story that brings to light the trauma caused by residential schools in Canada through the eyes of an Ojibway boy who finds his escape on theice, playing hockey.

Strongheart plays Virgil, the best friend of the main character Saul Indian Horse, and a fellow hockey player.

Amid the buzz circulating around Rope's post is a division over whether or not people still want to see the film. It has also sparked a heated online commentary about domestic violence.

Strongheart: 'This matter has been dealt with'

In an emailed response sent to CBC on Saturday about the statements made against him in the Facebook post, which detailed numerous allegations against multiple women, Strongheart did not respond to each individual claim made against him, but did write that he was very aware of what was posted about him.

"This is about the 10th time such posts have been made in the last eight years," he wrote.

His email goes on to


so many women that this resonates with. I think it's important. So many women out there feel alone and feel like they're trapped in these relationships with men," said Rope.

Melanie Rope said she'd been dating Will Strongheart for just under a year when he subjected her to a prolonged assault that put her in hospital. (Supplied)

But others are calling out Rope and her friend for speaking out about their experiences with Strongheart, and calling into question the timing of the post.

Rope says she and others have been speaking out about Strongheart for years.

This time, people are paying attention

It's just that, unlike past attempts to share her truth, this time more people are paying attention.

Rope said it was deliberate to post about Strongheart, once again, as the film wasknowing it was likely to get more attention in the context of the wide release of Indian Horse on Friday.

"I choose to not be silent. I choose to speak out, I choose to inspire," said Moore about the years of violence and trauma she says Strongheart inflicted on her that took years for her to heal from.

Moore is a mental health and addictions counsellor in Sault Ste. Marie, a mother of four and an outspoken advocate for women and girls who experience domestic and sexual violence. She is a member of the Batchewana First Nation in Ontario and has roots in Piapot First Nation in Saskatchewan.

Mr. Wagamese's piece," he wrote.

CBC first asked for an interview with Strongheart on Friday evening. On Sunday afternoon, instead of agreeing to an interview, Strongheart sent an emailed statement which said, in part:

"I would like to address the story and photos that have resurfaced, and most importantly, offer my sincere apologies to those affected by my actions — especially to the women and their families who I have hurt resulting in pain and suffering that they did not deserve. To those I have wronged, and caused undue grief and anguish, I wish to extend the hope of reconciliation and healing with you."

He went on to write that he'd like to acknowledge how in the past he has caused "tremendous pain and trauma to women" in a dark chapterof his life during which he was battling with alcoholism and drug abuse. He said he is no longer the same person as he was back then and that he has been sober since 2010.

Ride Profile: The Revolution

Six Flags Magic Mountain has in its collection of thrill rides one of the most famous and historic roller coasters in the world – The Revolution. Conceived by a German named Anton Schwarzkopf, one of the most respected and well-known roller coaster designers to have ever lived, The Revolution was the world’s very first modern roller coaster (made out of tubular steel track) to have a 360° vertical loop.

In 1955, Anton Schwarzkopf visited an Amusement Exposition not far from his home and thought he could build a better merry-go-round. After several years of graduating up to more complicated rides, he designed and built the very first roller coaster made completely out of steel in 1964. In 1973, he began working on perfecting the vertical loop.Although other roller coasters had built vertical loops as early as the late 19th century, they were poorly designed and pulled up to 12 Gs of force, causing many injuries and even deaths until they eventually stopped trying. Schwarzkopf finally perfected the loop in 1975 by using a teardrop-shape instead of a perfect circle, which slowed the train down enough to be safe while still allowing enough momentum to complete a loop.

Once he perfected the vertical loop, no time was wasted in putting it into one of his roller coaster designs and building it in a park. As you can see in the poster above, construction began on The Great American Revolution at Magic Mountain in 1975. Although designed by Schwarzkopf, it was actually built by the Swiss


roller coaster manufacturer Intamin AG, who did all of Schwarzkopf’s work outside of Germany. At a then staggering cost of $2,000,000, The Great American Revolution opened for business on 8 May 1976.

Because the ride was opened during the 200th anniversary, it was named after the American Revolutionary War of 1776, honoring that very pivotal moment in American history. The ride operators even wore Continental Army uniforms to compliment the theme. The ride was custom built for the location, utilizing some of the hilly terrain that Magic Mountain is well known for. It is 113′ high, has an 80′ first drop, and features 3,457′ of track, which was a record for its time. Of course, it’s most famous for its loop, which is 90′ tall and 45′ in diameter.It started with five trains, each comprised of five cars. Each car has a 2×2 seating configuration, for a total of 20 passengers per dispatch. The theoretical capacity of the ride is 1400/riders per hour at maximum efficiency. The train reaches a maximum speed of 55 MPH, pulls up to 4.2 Gs of force, and the entire ride lasts 2:12 minutes from start to finish.

The ride was called The Great American Revolution from the time it opened in 1976 until 1981. It was then changed to La Revolución and the theme was changed to that of the Mexican Revolution to coincide with a new themed area called Baja Ridge. In 1988, the name was changed again to The Revolution and it hasn’t changed since.

The Revolution is located in


still make out the X2 Plaza, with a bridge now heading off towards X2. You can also make out the area just to the right of the plaza where the Tilt-a-Whirl once sat:

After the first hill coming off of the first drop, the track drops down and right back up onto another hill. Here is the train approaching the top of that second hill:

Another shot of the train rounding that second hill:

As the train rounds the top of that second hill, it dives down and starts banking to the left. You can see the track coming in from the right side of this next photo, diving underneath itself to the left, and then angling back up as it curves to the left. Hidden behind the trees is awhere the track emerges again and passes underneath itself at the top of this photo:

This is the same photo from above, but it clearly shows the train now passing through the center of the loop:

After passing though the loop, the track starts to curve to the right:

The train then heads for one final 360° helix before heading back to the station:

The train dives and banks to the left one final time, right next to the Grand Carousel:

After the helix, it straightens out and heads towards the final brake run at the station:

The Revolution has 92′ of brown storage track, which was also a record at the time of its construction. With a total of five trains, it needed lots of room to store everything. You can just see


skyline:

Because of the historical significance of this ride, the American Coaster Enthusiasts designated it a landmark roller coaster in 2002 and a special plaque was erected to commemorate the occasion:

As mentioned in the plaque above, The Revolution has played a prominent role in pop culture. It was the key element in the 1977 motion picture Rollercoaster. It also appeared as the Whipper Snapper at Wally World in the 1983 Chevy Chase comedy National Lampoon’s Vacation.

Early on in this profile, I said I would provide more detail on the barricade that is in the queue path leading up to the ride. In 1981, when the name of the ride was changed to La Revolución, it was part of a brand new area being created called Baja Ridge. The parkhad just built a new path that completed a full circuit around the park, but there was a stretch of the path that didn’t have much on it. They added the previously mentioned Tilt-a-Whirl with a Spanish name, and they moved the entrance to the newly named La Revolución up to the new plaza, which was officially called Plaza de la Revolución. I think this was an attempt to spread the volume of people around more evenly. If you look up the hillside as you’re walking towards Viper or X2 today, you will see this:

This was part of the new queue that was built for the ride further up the hill:

In order to get to the new entrance, you needed to walk up the newly built path, which


was dubbed Calle de la Revolución, or Revolution Street:

What is referred to as the X2 Plaza today was originally the Plaza de la Revolución. The archway you see was the entrance to the queue area for the ride. This may also look familiar if you saw the movie National Lampoon’s Vacation with Chevy Chase:

There’s not much up here today, other than a nice place to catch some shade and take a breather. There is also a smoking area here, so don’t breath too deep:

Once you made your way through the new queue area, the line exited here and joined up to the existing path to the loading station:

In 1990, the Viper roller coaster was opened in the Baja Ridge area and the volume of people was absolutely crazy.would roll in and catch the train. As the chain moved the first train onto the lift, the second train moved right into load/unload position. Because of the simple lap bar only system, a train was dispatched about the time that the train ahead of it reached the bottom of the drop right next to the station (the second drop of the ride). So you’d have two trains in the station, one the track between the lift and the loop, another somewhere between the top of the long sloping drop and the tunnel, and one rounding the last spiral. It was an amazing operation, the likes of which we’ll never see at Magic Mountain ever again.

The last few times I’ve been there, they were only running two trains.


They removed it after the 1989 season to make room for Viper. It was sent to Six Flags Great America where it was opened in 1991 and it’s still there today.

It was originally called Merlin’s Magic Mouse and it opened in 1985 with Bugs Bunny World. Around 1992/93, they moved it over to Baja Ridge, about where the Panda Express is today and renamed it to Speedy Gonzales Mouse Racers. I haven’t figured out when it was removed from there yet. One of the cars was up in the Sky Tower before they removed all the museum pieces.

When I was a kid, we would go to MM for my birthday each year. For my 10th b-day (1975 ) I remember being in the sky tower with my friendsthen and now. I still have my Magic Mountain nametag with a troll on it! We used to have roving trolls wandering the park. Not sure why they were part of the theme.

I love the notes on how the queue has changed over time…it’s one of my favorite aspects of all the rides at the park. With that in mind I have a couple small notes to add..

– The station building originally had switchbacks in the small open area to the right of the bridge (in the little tower area). I remember them as late as 2001.

– Revolution in the mid 90’s was popular enough to use an extended queue that went all the way down and back up the hill toward Viper. I even remember one night


Grumpy Cat Dies; Her Spirit Will Live On, Family Says

Enlarge this image toggle caption Bruce Glikas/FilmMagic/Getty Images Bruce Glikas/FilmMagic/Getty Images

Grumpy Cat — the blue-eyed cat with the withering stare and permafrown that suggested perpetual irritation — has died, her family announced early Friday. She was 7.

The scowling kitty died of complications from a urinary tract infection, her owners said.

"Some days are grumpier than others," Tabatha Bundesen wrote, announcing her cat's death.

Born in 2012, Grumpy Cat became a darling of memes, cat fanciers and anyone who needed to be reminded that somewhere out there, there was a cat who looked as grumpy as they felt.

"Besides being our baby and a cherished member of the family, Grumpy Cat has helped millions of people smile all around the world — evenwhen times were tough," Bundesen wrote, in a note from her and the rest of Grumpy Cat's family.

Grumpy Cat wasn't always Grumpy Cat. When she was a kitten, she was named Tardar Sauce. But before she was even a year old, a photo of her concave, grouchy look — the result of an underbite — made her famous, and her new name took hold.

Her meteoric rise, propelled by users on Reddit and other outlets, included a visit to the SXSW Interactive Festival in 2013, where people lined up around the block to take a photo with her.

The spectacle prompted NPR's Elise Hu to declare, "Perhaps the hottest celebrity at SXSW isn't even human."

Wider fame followed, with fans rushing to buy calendars and posters. Grumpy Cat made appearances on


TV and at baseball games. She attended release parties in Europe. She visited the Broadway cast of Cats. And in an era when many people imitate presidents, President Obama did an impression of Grumpy Cat during a speech in 2015.

YouTube

Grumpy Cat even landed book deals — and Grumpy Cat: A Grumpy Book spent 11 weeks on the NPR Hardcover Nonfiction Bestseller List.

The Grumpy Cat book promised to "put any bad mood in perspective" — and that seems to be a main source of the mourning and tributes that were triggered by the unexpected and unwelcome news that one of the world's most adorable grouches is no longer with us.

"I loved this cat," one fan wrote. "I had the absolute pleasure of meeting her once and I will neverforget it. I will never forget the first time I saw her face! I learned much from her and am deeply saddened and devastated to hear of her passing."

Noting that Grumpy Cat had met the recently deceased Marvel Comics leader Stan Lee — who mimicked her frown in several photos — Twitter user Greeshma Megha wrote, "Hope they meet in heaven."

Grumpy Cat's family says she "passed away peacefully on the morning of Tuesday, May 14, at home in the arms of her mommy, Tabatha."

"Her spirit will continue to live on through her fans everywhere," they added.

Within hours of the announcement, Grumpy Cat was the top trending topic on Twitter worldwide.

While she has remained a media force over the years, Grumpy Cat returned to national headlines in early 2018,

Driven to a fraction of their former range by the larger, nastier Brown Rats, Black Rats prefer tropical locales these days, but were once Europe’s dominant species. It was this rat which ushered in the Black Plague. Fleas that lived on the rats transmitted the Yersinia pests bacteria to millions of unwitting victims. The black rat is an excellent climber, and has proven to be the bane of many nesting bird species throughout thehave occurred there, lending some credence to the idea that it is a cultural phenomenon and perhaps something of a hoax. The largest rat king known is a cluster of 32 mummified black rats found in a miller’s fireplace in Buchheim, Germany in 1828. It can be seen on display at the Mauritianum Museum in Altenburg, Germany. Historically, rat kings have been seen as a terrible omen associated with death and disease.


Internet Pioneers

Note from the author: Various audio clips appear here and throughout of Vint Cerf. The interview was conducted on March 1, 2000, at the Access facility of the National Science Foundation in Washington, D.C. Expenses were provided by the Park Foundation.

As a graduate student at UCLA, Vint Cerf was involved in the early design of the ARPANET. He was present when the first IMP was delivered to UCLA. He is called the "father of the Internet." He earned this nickname as one of the co-authors of TCP/IP-the protocol that allowed ARPA to connect various independent networks together to form one large network of networks-the Internet.

A Young Man with Style

Cerf grew up in Los Angeles. He did very well in school and showed a strong aptitude for math.He had an unusual style of dress for a school kid. He wore a jacket and tie most days. Cerf is still known for his impeccable style. He is usually seen in three-piece suits.

As a child, Cerf began to develop an interest in computers. He attended Stanford and majored in mathematics, but continued to grow more interested in computing. "There was something amazingly enticing about programming," said Cerf. "You created your own universe and you were master of it. The computer would do anything you programmed it to do. It was this unbelievable sandbox in which every grain of sand was under your control." (Cerf in Hafner & Lyon, 139).

When Cerf graduated from Stanford in 1965, he went to work for IBM as a systems engineer, but soon


decided to return to school to learn more about computers. He enrolled in UCLA's computer science department and began pursuing his Ph.D. His thesis was based on work he did on an ARPA-funded project for the "Snuper Computer"a computer that was designed to remotely observe the execution of programs on another computer.

An Interest in Networking

The Snuper Computer project got Cerf interested in the field of computer networking. In the fall of 1968, ARPA set up another program at UCLA in anticipation of building the ARPANET. It was called the Network Measurement Center. It was responsible for performance testing and analysis, a sort of testing ground. A man named Len Kleinrock managed about forty students who ran the center. Cerf was one of the senior members of the team.

Bythe end of 1968, a small group of graduate students from the four schools that were slated to be the first four nodes on the ARPANET (UCLA, Stanford, the University of Utah, and UC Santa Barbara) began meeting regularly to discuss the new network and problems related to its development. They called themselves the Network Working Group (NWG). The NWG proved to be instrumental in solving many of the problems that would arrive during the design and implementation of the ARPANET, but they did not realize their importance at the time. Cerf recalls, "We were just rank amateurs, and we were expecting that some authority would finally come along and say, 'Here's how we are going to do it.' And nobody ever came along." (Cerf in Abbate, 73)

Vint Cerf discusses obstacles in ARPANET development.

A True Internet

In August 1969, BBN delivered the first IMP to UCLA. A month later The second was delivered to SRI. The ARPANET continued to grow quickly from that point. Cerf was present when the first IMP was delivered to UCLA. He was involved with the IMP immediately performing various tests on the new hardware. It was during this testing that he met Bob Kahn. They enjoyed a good working relationship.

Within a few years of the creation of the ARPANET, other computers networks were deployed. They were all independent self-contained networks.in 1973. In September, they presented a paper outlining their ideas to the International Networking Group. In May 1974, they complete their paper entitled, "A Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication." They described a new protocol they called the transmission-control protocol (TCP). The main idea was to enclose packets in "datagrams." These datagrams were to act something like envelopes containing letters. The content and format of the letter is not important for its delivery. The information on the envelope is standardized to facilitate delivery. Gateway computers would simply read only the delivery information contained in the datagrams and deliver the contents to host computers. Only the host computers would actually "open" the envelope and read the actual contents of the packet. TCP allowed networks to be joined into a


network of networks, or what we now call the Internet.

Cerf continued to refine TCP. In 1976, he accepted a job as program manager responsible for what was then called the "ARPA Internet" at ARPA. In 1978, Cerf and several of his colleagues made a major refinement in 1978. They split TCP into two parts. They took the part of TCP that is responsible for routing packages and formed a separate protocol called the Internet Protocol (IP).TCP would remain responsible for dividing messages into datagrams, reassembling messages, detecting errors, putting packets in the right order, and resending lost packets. The new protocol was called TCP/IP. It went on to become the standard for all Internet communication.

The total download capacity for a single 5G mobile cell must be at least 20Gbps, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has decided. In contrast, the peak data rate for current LTE cells is about 1Gbps. The incoming 5G standard must also support up to 1 million connected devices per square kilometre, and the standard will require carriers to have at least 100MHz of free spectrum, scaling up to 1GHz where feasible.

These requirements come from the ITU's draft report on the technical requirements for IMT-2020 (aka 5G) radio interfaces, which was published Thursday. The document is technically just a draft at this point, but that's underselling its significance: it will likely be approved and finalised in November this year, at which point work begins in earnest on building


The present invention is related to miter saws including compound miter saws, and in particular, to a miter saw having a workpiece supporting fence which has adjustable longitudinal movement and automatically adjustable transverse movement for saw blade as the blade is rotated to various miter positions.
The above mentioned patents disclose a number of improvements to compound miter saws. One of the improvements includes a workpiece supporting fence that is maintained in alignment with a turntable saw blade slot, as the saw blade and the turntable, with its included saw blade slot, are rotated to make desired miter cuts. Thus, as the saw blade and turntable are rotated, the workpiece supporting fence moves from side-to-side in order to keep a workpiece supporting fence cutout in line with the blade.The Ithaca VoiceLansing parents urge change in school district to curb bullyingThe Ithaca VoiceLANSING, N.Y. – With about one in five students nationwide experiencing bullying at school, parents and administrators in a local school district are coming together to find ways to stop bullying and foster mental health.

“It gets better” for bullied LGBTQ youth

Billy Lucas, a freshman at Greenburg High School in Indiana, hanged himself in his grandmother’s barn after allegedly being taunted by classmates. Friends and family of the 15 year old said he was bullied because he was perceived to be gay.

Lucas was one of at least34 American students to take their own lives in 2010 after dealing with an instance of bullying.

When Dan Savage, a syndicated advice columnist and blogger, read about Lucas’ suicide and the suicides of other young people who were bullied for being lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) or because others believed they were, he and his husband decided to take action. On September 21, 2010, they posted a video on YouTube. They told their experiences from high school, coming out and finding happiness in their adult lives. The message, he said, is simple: it gets better.

He explained his motives in sharing the message in a 2011 interview with National Public Radio.

A request by Germany's opposition Left party has revealed that hundreds of soldiers serving with the Bundeswehr have decided to rethink their planned career since summer 2014. A total of 469 soldiers have entered a plea to leave the army on grounds of having a conscientious objection.

Katrin Kunert, the Left's spokeswoman for military matters, believes it's not surprising. and wonders whether some soldiers have been shocked by their first taste of combat.

"The risk of being a professional soldier, to have to kill or be killed, often becomes appreciable for the first time only in a genuine combat situation," Kunert told the Rheinische Post newspaper. "Often, that's the first time that the full extent of the risk can be grasped."

When Germany's military became voluntary in 2011, it was partof an effort to professionalize what was seen as "ineffectual" armed forces "in desperate need of modernization."

Kunate, from the opposition Left party, thinks there could be a link between deployment and a change of heart

In light of its Nazi past, Germany has long recognized a right to conscientious objection. During World War II, the Nazi regime did not recognize the status. Objectors were executed.

Break with the past

After the war, there was a will to break decisively with the past. East Germany was unique among Eastern bloc members in allowing objectors to instead join "construction units."

In West Germany, a section of the constitution ensured that: "No person shall be compelled against his conscience to render military service involving the use of arms. Details shall be regulated by a federal

Plaintiffs-relators assert various claims for damages which include the following: the decedent's mother, Ann Harold Green, for the emotional distress she suffered from the unauthorized harvesting of the decedent's bone and tissue and from the failure of the police department and coroner's office to return the decedent's wallet and other personal effects; Mrs. Green on behalf of her son, Paul Dugas, (a half brother of the decedent who was twelve at the time his half brother's death) for his emotional distress arising out of the desecration of the body including thefailure to return personal effects, and for the loss of services and companionship from his mother due to her emotional distress; Mrs. Green's husband, Robin David Green, stepfather of the decedent, for the loss of consortium, services and society which he suffered due to the emotional distress of his wife; and lastly the Greens sue on behalf of their daughter, Rachel Green, half-sister of the decedent, (who was less than a year old at the time of the decedent's death), for the loss of services and companionship of her mother because of her mother's emotional distress. No claim was made for Rachel's emotional distress in connection with the desecration of her brother's body because she was too young to be aware of it.

Plaintiffs-relators also sued the City of New Orleans, the New Orleans Police Department, and Chief of Police Richard Pennington, as well as the unknown officers and paramedics who participated in the examination and transport of the decedent, relative to the missing wallet and other personal effects.

The trial court denied the exceptions as to Mrs.The pawl plate has a barrier rib that extends from its surface that prevents lateral movement of the locking shaft; lateral movement is precluded when the second extension of the torsion spring compressively bears against the barrier rib which occurs when the locking shaft extends through either aperture. During either rotational or lateral movement of the locking shaft, the second extension of the torsion spring remains in compressive engagement with the pawl plate. Thus, when the locking shaft extends through an aperture thereby locking the spindle housing and bracket member, the second extension of the torsion member laterally bears against the barrier rib of the pawl plate which prevents lateral movement of the locking shaft; sufficient lateral movement of the locking shaft would inadvertently unlock the spindle housing


and the bracket member allowing relative rotation between the spindle housing and the bracket member.
The bracket member and spindle housing are biased by a coil spring such that the seat of the chair upon being tilted from the horizontal will be urged by the coil spring to return to the horizontal. The coil spring is carried by the spindle housing and associated with a bolt carried by the bracket member such that rotation of the bracket member relative to the housing will compress the coil spring; the compressed coil spring applies a restoring force to the bracket member thereby biasing the bracket member towards the horizontal. The improved tilt lock mechanism of this invention utilizes the second extension of a torsion spring to compressively engage a barrier ribAfter two years of recession, the Global Memory Market went forward by leaps and bounds in 2013-2014, with scale up more than 20% for two consecutive years i.e. 20.5% in 2013, 22.1% in 2014, the highest growth rate among all semiconductor products. In 2015, the growth rate slows evidently, only 2.3%, and the memory market size is expected to reach USD83.8 billion.

Causes for the decline in growth rate are the followings. The first comes to the falling prices of DRAM. DRAM price began to rise from October 2012, a trend lasting till June 2014, resulting in increased supply and a balance between supply and demand. However, spot prices of DRAM started falling in July 2014.

Helix was having second thoughts on Dome's plan.

At first, it had seemed simple enough. The Voices possess Red, Red goes on his journey with Charmander, Red picks up the Helix Fossil, the road of history continues. Everything was supposed to be all hunky-dory.

Except it wasn't.

First of all, Red didn't even get the right Charmander. Instead of Abby, he wound up with a male named Churro. How the hell that had happened, Helix couldn't even begin to guess, and he was the frickin' GOD OF ANARCHY. Normally, this should have been His domain.

Second... Red seemed a tad confused.

He'd beaten Brock, as he was supposed to. He'd beaten Misty, as the Voices loudly insisted he do. But he'd gone to the PC at the Voices' insistence and released his Kakuna,much like his brother Abe had during his journey. And he'd boxed Churro. Not released, but simply boxed. Did he somehow remember his sorrow at losing Abby in the original timeline? Was this his way of going half with the Voices?

Helix shuddered to think what would happen if Red ever encountered an Eevee.

---

"Is he well?" the Weedle asked.

The Fearow that Red had named Effigy turned towards his companion. No one so far had been able to tell the larva's gender, so Red had nicknamed them 'Genderbug' and threw them on his team. Given that the team currently had a Beedrill and that Red had already released a Kakuna, the Weedle clearly did not have very high hopes of survival.

Effigy sighed. "No, our trainer is not well. Anyone with


eyes can see that. He boxed his original companion without so much as a twitch. He released Kakuna and Magikarp with zero remorse. He walks into walls, stumbles off of ledges, breaks into other people's houses and crashes into their furniture. His god is a ROCK, for crying out loud. He shouldn't be trusted with a potted plant, yet alone a team of Pokemon."

"Then why don't we leave?" Genderbug asked.

"Because that's not how the ancient contract works. In times long past, in the days of Ransei, our ancestors joined together with ancient humans to work, play, and do battle alongside each other. The ancient contract states that when a Pokemon binds itself to a human, they are loyal to each other until either the human breaks the contract,nodded.

"But first," Effigy said, "we need to get that fossil away from him."

---

"I'm sorry," Effigy said to Red, "but this is for your own good."

Red had been cornered in the Pokemon Center by his own Pokemon. Effigy was in the lead, his wings spread wide in a threatening gesture. A male Nidoran crouched by Red's feet, spines bristling. A male Beedrill, not Genderbug, hovered menacingly to Red's right, his drills inches from his own trainer's chest. And Genderbug sat on top of a Rattata's back, ready to nip at Red's ankles should that become necessary.

Red stared in absolute horror. This was not what the Voices had told him would happen.

"Now," Effigy said slowly, "you are going to take that damn rock, go to the PC, and put the


There was a flash of light, an electronic noise, and the fossil was gone.

Red's Pokemon backed away slowly. None of them wanted to be near the murder machine, especially not with Red in this mood of his.

"Fine. It's gone," Red sighed. "Now what?"

"Now we get you the help you need," Effigy said firmly. "Have you ever heard of a Mankey called Dr. Abby Camden?"

And he could have sworn that Red's eye twitched when he said the name Abby.

---

Effigy should have paid attention to that twitch.

The meeting with Dr. Camden started out well enough. She asked Red a few questions, gave him some paperwork to fill out, and several minutes later, took the papers from him. They were covered in A's and B's and directional outputs and wild ramblingsgreat number of his Pokemon, and released two of them. He'd managed to get Effigy back out shortly after boxing him, but his Rattata and Nidoran were trapped inside the computer.

And Churro was gone. Not boxed anymore. Gone; gone to wherever it was that Pokemon went to after being released. Even the Voices themselves weren't really sure about that, although a sizable number of them saw it as murder.

On top of that, he'd accidentally put the S.S. Ticket into the PC. The ticket that, the Voices insisted, was all too necessary for progressing on his journey. Which meant that the Voices were still, still, STILL pressuring him to return to that damned machine for another go at Russian roulette.

But he had the Helix Fossil again.

Just over two weeks ago, I found myself in an interesting situation.
It was June 14th and I had been in South Africa less than thirty-six hours. Having attended Ghana and Serbia’s match at Loftus Versfeld on the 13th in a jetlagged haze, I had logged some serious sleep the night before at my choice of accomodation, a converted horse stable in the rural district of Kameeldrift north of Pretoria (heat provided by a wood stove). Keen to watch all three matches on the 14th at a venue with people and beer rather than horses (and beer), I caught a lift into the northern suburb of Hatfield, still a little apprehensive about my first solo encounter with urban


South Africa.
Hatfield looks like pretty much any average High Street in England and any average main street in the United States (in fact, perhaps much nicer). It is safe to walk around any time of day or night, it is home to a university and, for the World Cup, they’ve set up a large screen in a square surrounded with bars. Unsurprisingly, I managed not to get mugged with relative ease.
But it was with more than a little trepidation that I sat down in the sun at a picnic table in the square with a cold Castle beer for the second match of the day: Japan vs. Denmark. For one thing, as a Canadian, I am faced with the fact that my national team may not qualify forone could have predicted that Japan would produce their best-ever World Cup performance, scoring two early stunning free-kick goals and a late Shinji Okazaki goal off the counterattack after incredible individual work by Honda. Patrick Newell, an American who has lived in Japan and supported their soccer team for more than eighteen years, told me that he had never seen Japan play a match like it. His seventeen-year-old daughter Kana – half-Japanese, half-American – never stopped smiling for the entire ninety minutes. The goalkeeper Kawashima was brilliant. Yoshito Okubo was fiesty as ever. Tanaka and Kanazawa actually managed to avoid scoring on their own net.

Now I Remember Why I Didn't Go Into Internal Medicine

We had an anesthesiology grand rounds the other day that reminded me why I did not choose internal medicine after medical school. The lecturer was very knowledgeable. She came from our local university hospital and had multitudes of slides to supplement her talk. The subject was congestive heart failure. I thought, great, I could use some updating on management of CHF in the surgical patient. But alas, she came from the medicine side. As she went over slide after slide of different drugs for managing CHF, my eyes started to atrophy. To keep myself alert, I started writing down the names of the different studies on CHF she was highlighting. These studies with their overly cuteFerryboat Campsites marks 40th year along the river

Jane and Randy Wallis recently held a celebration marking the 40th anniversary of their business, Ferryboat Campsites, along the beautiful Susquehanna River near Liverpool where they also live.

Randy's father, Robert, his uncle, Bud, and brother-in-law, Jim Zeiders, purchased the property, which then consisted of 13 sites and two ferryboats in 1968. The campground has remained in the family ever since, although the ferryboats have been sold to the Millersburg Ferryboat Preservation Association.

Randy, who was in college at the time, has vivid memories of the 1972 flood when Hurricane Agnes raised havoc in Pennsylvania. Under extreme flooding conditions, ferryboat captain Jack Dillman, who now captains the Pride of the Susquehanna, and Randy worked side by side to pump out the boats and


keep them from sinking.

"We went out on a small boat to reach the ferryboats while houses and trailers floated past us," said Randy. "I knew if we didn't pump them out they would be lost forever.'

The boats survived, as did the campground which had grown to 100 sites, although the original concession stand was lost. Randy continued to work there during the summer while on break from college until he graduated in 1974.

"Then my Dad said, here are the books," said Randy. "I took over the business still wet behind the ears.'

He took another big step in 1975 when he and Jane married and moved into one of two of the houses on the campground property. They were quickly initiated into the business when Hurricane Eloise struck thesame year, leaving three feet of water in their house. Shortly after, they raised the foundation.

While the couple took over daily operations of the campgrounds, Jane continued to work as a nurse with Jones, Daly, and Coldern Association of Mechanicsburg. In addition, she worked in the store and took over the role of activities manager, continuing the bingo games and church services that Randy's father, Robert, and mother, Blanche, started in 1968.

"The church services, which are nondenominational, still are conducted by Robert and Blanche, along with gospel groups we bring in each week," said Jane.

The campground office and store were in the second house on the property, an old 1888 house that once was used as a boardinghouse and stopover for travelers who used the ferry.

Randy did everything


from running the store and taking reservations to mowing the grass and cleaning bathrooms.

The couple are grateful for the help of Robert and Blanche and Jane's parents, the late Shirley and Gerald Bowers of Tunkhannock, who began camping there in 1976.

About that time, the couple decided to expand the number of campsites, but learned they would have to build a sewer treatment plant. They built the plant and increased the number of sites to 175. In 1979 they added a new store, office and game room built on stilts.

"I was easily working 14 hours a day," said Randy. "That's when we hired Wanda Zarker to run the office and Bill Breault to help me with maintenance.'

Zarker still works in the office and is their longest serving employee.

"Hiring themtook some of the load off me," said Randy. "Things began to gel and we started making money.'

They also started their family with the birth of Kristen, and three years later, Jordan.

"Our kids probably had the best environment to grow up in and they got to meet so many people," Jane said.

Both helped around the campground, with Kristen first running the mini golf and then, at age 15, working in the store.

"Jordan was known as the pied piper of the campground," said Jane. "He always had kids following him around.' He entertained the kids and later helped with outside maintenance.

In 1989, they brought Jane's brother, Mark, on board as campground manager. He moved into the old house.

"If it weren't for Mark, we wouldn't get away from the place,"


said Randy, who noted that he and Jane enjoy spending time in Rehoboth Beach. "Mark does a lot of the maintenance.'

In 1990, they decided to sell the ferryboats, now owned by the Millersburg Ferryboat Preservation Association which recently got a $90,000 grant to restore the second boat which hasn't been in use.

They also continued to expand the campgrounds, adding two cabins and three cottages in 1992, and building the recreation hall and pavilions in 1996. Both of the facilities frequently are rented for special occasions.

In 2001, they added tubes, rafts and kayaks for use on the river.

"They are constantly booked up," said Jane. "Our golf cart rentals also are very popular.'

On July 4, 2006, the weather forecast called for a major flood like 1972. Fortunately, the forecast waswrong about the storm's intensity, but it still created a huge headache.

"It was a nightmare on one of our busiest weekends," Jane said. "We evacuated our house and the store, but campers kept calling wanting to keep their reservations even though the sites were underwater.' The campground has about 200 seasonal campers and camping clubs which reserve space for their gatherings.

"We get a lot of campers from other countries including Germany, Sweden, Australia, Austria, England and France," said Jane. "They fly into New York and Canada and rent a motor home to tour the country. Our campsites are on the list of stops because they want to see the river and the historical ferryboat.'

This is the best staff we've ever had, noted Randy, including camper volunteers Jim and


Sandy Bice, Dave Salerno, and Jaggers and Diane Crumlich.

"We've also had many relatives and high school and college kids work here over the years," said Randy.

Jane and Randy greeted more than 200 guests to their 40th anniversary party on July 26.

"It's a landmark year," said Randy. "We've had celebrations before but this was special because my mother and father are still here to enjoy it.'

While guests enjoyed cake and ice cream, Robert Wallis and Capt. Jack Dillman shared some memories and the history of the campsites and ferryboats.

Hank Anderson, 80, who began camping there in 1968 and remains a camper today, was honored as the longest tenured camper. He received an anniversary hat and a gift certificate for the store.

"Its something to be proud of," said Randy.

The investigator informed defendant, who introduced himself as "an N.D.," a Naturopathic Doctor, that he had rectal bleeding.

Coming hot on the heels of a sold-out event in Hamburg, Germany last weekend, UFC 204 which is set to take place in Manchester next month took a total of just six minutes to sell out after tickets went on general sale this morning.

UFC 204 will take place at the Manchester Arena and will feature Britain’s most successful UFC fighter, Michael “The Count” Bisping, defending his UFC middleweight world title in his own backyard against American MMA legend, Dan “Hendo” Henderson.

Bisping became the first British fighter to win a UFC title on June 4 at UFC 199, when he upset then champion Luke Rockhold on two weeks’ notice.

Just four months earlier, he beat one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, Anderson Silva, in an incredible performanceThe two arrested are natives of Dhaulpur district of Rajasthan. (Representational)

Two men were arrested after over 7,000 bottles of smuggled liquor were seized from a truck in the Masuri area along Eastern Peripheral Expressway, the police said on Saturday.

Jitendra and Raju, both natives of Dhaulpur district of Rajasthan, told the police that the consignment of 655 cartons containing 7,860 bottles, procured from Karnal in Haryana, was to be delivered in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, senior police official Upendra Agarwal said.

At least 72 people died due to the consumption of spurious liquor in two adjoining districts in Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh.

UP chief secretary on Saturday directed the excise and police departments to conduct raids to check the manufacturing of hooch and stop smuggling of liquor in the state.

The governments in and of the United States have long since ceased to foster liberty, but most Americans are captives in their own land and have no choice but to strive for the restoration of liberty, or something closer to it.

Who can restore liberty? Certainly not the self-proclaimed libertarians who are fixated on Mill's empty


The required research rotation in residency: the University of Pennsylvania experience, 1978-1993.
The University of Pennsylvania orthopaedic surgery residency program under the direction of Dr. Carl T. Brighton was uniquely structured to require a year of research as part of a 5-year program. This requirement was instituted to foster critical thinking, and not necessarily to produce academic orthopaedic surgeons. Nonetheless, measures of academic productivity of the 127 residents who trained under Dr. Brighton's leadership may be instructive. The purpose of this study was to assess metrics of academic productivity. In addition, the six current and former chairmen of orthopaedic surgery programs who performed research while residents at the University of Pennsylvania were surveyed for their impressions regarding required research rotations. Fifty-nine percent of the University of Pennsylvania residents tookfaculty positions after training; 75% published a peer-reviewed paper after residency; and 17% are current members of the American Orthopaedic Association. Overall, the chairmen surveyed found great value in their own resident research experience, but none have replicated the Brighton model of residency organization. Only two of the six programs have a research year: at both, this research rotation is in addition to the standard 5 years of clinical education and only at one are all residents required to participate.


A woman who has campaigned for safety improvements on a "dangerous" road since her husband was seriously hurt in a crash says she has "never come across a road like it".

Lynsey Langdon's partner Greg was left in a wheelchair after being hit by a car dashing across a cut-through in the A505, between Baldock and Royston in Hertfordshire, in 2016.

It led to Mrs Langdon setting up a Facebook group, Make the A505 Safer, where people could upload dashcam footage of their near-misses. Despite getting politicians on board with her campaign, she said little had changed to the 70mph road.

Figures from Hertfordshire County Council have shown a fall in accidents since 2016, but the number of casualties in the first six months of 2019 was higher than in allof 5 years in evaluation criteria.

In another study, Austin *et al*.\[[@ref14]\] compared individual treatments in patients who suffered from cleft palate with team managements. In this study, 253 children with clefts of lip and palate, who were born between 1998 and 2003, were studied. Of these, 86% used team services and 24% used individual services. In the group that enjoyed individual services, the number of surgeries except myringotomy was less than the other group. In other cases such as speech therapy, audiometry, dentistry services, and genetic consultation, the group that used team services received better and earlier services than the other group.

There has been no research conducted on the team services to patients with cleft lip and palate, so the importance of interdisciplinary teamwork and providing optimal therapeutic


those who received orthodontics were in Group D. Then, patients were divided into two groups of early comers and late comer based on the age of their first visit by the cleft care team. So for Group A, the criterion for distinguishing early comers from late comers was entering the team before and after the age of 4-year-old. That is, patients who came to the team before 4-year-old were early comers, and those who came after 4-year-old were late comers. The mean age of both groups was calculated and then compared using the independent *t*-test.

In Group B, the distinction was made by the age of entering the team before and after 6 years. Those who entered the team before 6-year-old were early comers and those who entered after6 years were late comers. The mean age of having secondary surgery was calculated in both groups, and then compared using the independent *t*-test.

Patients in Group C were divided into two groups of those who came before and after 9 years. That is, those who came to the team before 9-year-old were early comers, and those who came after 9 were late comers. The mean age of having alveolar bone graft was measured in both groups, and compared using independent *t*-test.

In patients in Group D, the distinction criterion was coming to the team before and after 9-year-old. That is, those who came to the team before 9-year-old were early comers, and those who came after 9 were late comers. Likewise, mean age of having orthodontics was measured in

On Petitions for Review of Decisions of the Federal Communications Commission.
Before THORNBERRY, POLITZ and RANDALL, Circuit Judges.
POLITZ, Circuit Judge:

1
March Media, Ltd. petitions for review of two orders of the Federal Communications Commission which declined to reconsider a regulation limiting cross-ownership of a television station and a cable television system in the same market (our docket No. 84-4808) and required Marsh to divest itself of part of its interest in an Amarillo, Texas, cable system (our docket No. 85-4319).  We deny the petitions for review.

Background

2
In 1965 Marsh, owner of Amarillo television station KVII-TV, and three partners received a franchise to establish a cable television system in Amarillo.  Each partner received a 25% interest in the cable venture, called Total Television of Amarilloprint and broadcast media as a valid exercise of the Commission's authority over the broadcast media.    FCC v. National Citizens Committee for Broadcasting.    The Rule now before us is likewise an exercise of the Commission's authority over television license holders.  By the Rule the Commission seeks to regulate and limit a television station and a cable system in the same market area.  As such, the Rule is within the Commission's authority to regulate the broadcast media, id., 436 U.S. at 793-97, 98 S.Ct. at 2111-13.  Marsh's contrary argument lacks persuasive force.  We conclude that the Commission had the authority to promulgate the Rule prior to enactment of the 1984 Act.4

At the end of 2017, Juan "Hungrybox" Debiedma emerged as the world's best Super Smash Bros. Melee player, an achievement reinforced by his career-high No. 1 ranking on SSBMRank 2017. However, during the first half of this year, the Jigglypuff main won only one major tournament, with the rest of the spring's majors going to other "gods" of the game such as Jason "Mew2King" Zimmerman and Justin "Plup" McGrath.

Saturday night, Hungrybox's victory at Community Effort Orlando 2018 signaled a return to the status quo, at least on paper.

From a numerical standpoint, CEO's Melee bracket went exactly as expected. After all, the tournament's top finishers placed in the order of their seeding, with Hungrybox defeating Plup in grand finals and Mew2King and Justin "Wizzrobe" Hallett taking the third- andfourth-place positions, respectively. Despite this familiar outcome, however, CEO's live viewers were treated to quite an unusual display of Melee.

In the first set of grand finals, Plup surprised both Hungrybox and the crowd by switching to Sheik after losing a close first game with Fox. In a tight set, Plup was able to secure the bracket reset, transforming to Zelda and connecting a desperate dash attack to finish off Hungrybox's final stock in Game 5.

Common knowledge says that Sheik has a heavily disadvantaged matchup against Jigglypuff, and this victory marks Plup's first victory over Hungrybox with the character since the two met at an Orlando local last February. Unfortunately for Plup, Hungrybox adapted in the second set of grand finals, quickly dispatching his fellow Floridian by a resounding


3-0.

Plup wasn't the only competitor who surprised the audience with his character choices Saturday. Perhaps due to Mew2King's lack of sleep leading up to CEO, the New Jersey native played fast and loose, switching to Jigglypuff and nearly winning the ditto against Hungrybox in their winners semifinals set. This choice was undoubtedly a calculated one: At May's Smash Summit 6, Hungrybox showed his lack of experience in the Jigglypuff matchup when he dropped a game to SSBMRank No. 100 Toussaint "2saint" Turnier.

Mew2King also made an unorthodox character pick in his sets against Wizzrobe, primarily using Marth to defeat the youthful Captain Falcon main. When the two players met at May's Momocon 2018, Wizzrobe handed Mew2King's Sheik a ruthless 3-0 defeat, leading many to speculate that he had figuredTransexual Job Applicant Gets Green Light for
Discrimination Suit

December 31, 2007 (PLANSPONSOR.COM) - A federal
judge in the District of Columbia has cleared the way for a
transsexual job applicant to pursue an employment
discrimination suit after not being hired for a federal
job.

U.S. District Judge James Robertson of the U.S.
District Court for the District of Columbia issued the
ruling in a case involving an applicant who applied for a
Congressional Research Service (CRS) job in 2004. The
applicant applied as a man and was offered a position,
but was ultimately rejected when the applicant made clear
an intent to change his name and begin presenting
himself as a woman.

The plaintiff, now known as Diane Schroer, alleged
in her lawsuit that the CRS switched its decision on her
employment application because she did not conform to the
interviewer’s perception of women.

(CNN) Senior European diplomats have urged the United States not to kill off the Iran nuclear deal, as President Donald Trump mulls whether to reimpose sanctions on the country ahead of a Friday deadline.

Trump had vowed to rip up the agreement during his election campaign and has repeatedly referred to it as "the worst deal ever," accusing Iran of violating the "spirit" of the pact. He must sign a series of waivers every few months to maintain the suspension of sanctions on Iran, and to keep the deal fully intact.

After a meeting of European diplomats in Brussels on Thursday, French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian made a direct appeal to the US to sign the latest waiver, due Friday. He said France remained dedicated to the agreement.

Halicki produced "The Junkman", a film in the "adventure" category, featuring spectacular automobile chases and collisions.  It was designed to appeal largely to teenagers and young adults.  According to Halicki's allegations, its commercial success was closely connected with a PG rating from the Motion Picture Association of America, meaning that some material in the film might not be suitable for children, since parents should make inquiries and give guidance before the children attend it, although the film as a whole was not unsuitable for children.


The Capitals have announced that they have signed Slovakian defenseman Martin Fehervary to an entry-level contract. Fehervary was drafted in the second round of the 2018 entry draft and attended development camp last week.

Fehervary is six-feet, two-inches tall and weighs 194 pounds. He scored one goal and six assists for Allsvenskan’s IK Oskarshamn club last season. In 2018-19, Fehervary is expected to play for HV71 in Jönköping this season.

Grading the Caps’ draft, RMNB’s Chris Cerullo was mixed on the pick:

…the Caps picked up a defenseman that already has a lot of experience playing against men, both in the SHL and at the World Championships with Slovakia. He’s a mobile defenseman in the same mold as Michal Kempny, who he mentioned idolizing at his after-draft press conference. Like Kempny,42 games with IK Oskarshamn in HockeyAllsvenskan (SWE-2) last season. The Bratislava, Slovakia, native also participated in one game for HV71 in the Swedish Hockey League. Additionally, in the 2016-17 season, Fehervary played in 32 games for the Malmo Redhawks U-20 team in the SuperElit League in Sweden, recording four goals and five assists, the most goals by a defenseman in the SuperElite League that season. Fehervary has represented Slovakia in the Under-20 World Junior Championship in each of the last two years and was named a top-3 player on his team in 2017. Fehervary is expected to report to HV71 for the 2018-19 season.


High temperature records have been set in Jacksonville, Florida, at 37 Celsius and Charleston, South Carolina, at 34C.

This past weekend high temperature records were set on Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida, at 37 Celsius and Charleston, South Carolina, at 34C.

The heat is forecast to extend across much of the south in the coming days as a large dome of high pressure settles in over the region.

Normal high temperatures for the second week of September across the south range from the high 20s Celsius, to the low 30s.

Atlanta, Georgia, is expected to see temperatures rise throughout the week with Thursday forecast to reach a high of 36C, challenging the previous daily high record of 34.4C which was set in 1900.

Stereotaxy, which was initiated at beginning of this century with a Horsley and Clark device used on animals for experimentation, made it possible to locate different intracerebral structures with precision and to reach said structures with stimulation and coagulation electrodes; it was developed until 1947, when Spiegel and Wycis reported in the U.S.A. the first concept of a stereotaxic device adapted for human use. Subsequently, different reports were made from scientific societies of several European countries.

These laminated billets are made by bringing molten layers of thermoplastic together under pressure where the molten layers are in the shape of the billet or where the layers are in the form of a sheet from which the laminated billet is subsequently cut.
Extrusion of thermoplastics into sheets and/or films (hereinafter sheet and film are collectively called sheet) is an old art. Simultaneous extrusion of multiple thermoplastics into sheets is also known. Such simultaneous extrusion is the general method by which laminated sheets are made. The molten individual sheets are brought together under pressure, usually between one or more rollers, and the sheets adhered to each other.
The layers in a laminate must adhere to each other. Some sets

Online freedom was dealt another blow in Iran, following an order from Ayatollah Khomeini, banning men and women from communicating with one another via online chat.

Iran has continued to make headlines when it comes to limitations on the state of online freedom in the country. While President Hassan Rouhani and other prominent figures including the ayatollah himself have active presences on Facebook and Twitter, much of the country's citizens do not. This is because Iran has implemented strict limitations on the use of these online tools.

Protests in 2009 about a controversial election led to the banning of these social media outlets as they were instrumental in the mobilization of Iranians. Now it seems as though these limitations are going to be extended further.

NE 45th Street Viaduct

Seattle's topography has always been a challenge to transportation, especially along west to east routes. A concerted effort in the 1930s to ease automobile traffic led to a series of bridge projects including construction of the NE 45th St Viaduct that would provide a direct route from Sand Point Way and Laurelhurt to Highway 99. At that time, the land at the base was mostly farmland. The project was approved in 1935 by Ordinance 65629 with major community support from the University Commercial Club. Construction did not begin until 1938. (The street designation was E 45th Street until 1961 when the directional designation was changed to NE.)

The viaduct was funded with a combination of federal Public Works Administration (PWA) dollars ($103,550), state gasoline tax revenue($200,000), and a small appropriation in 1939 from the City Street Fund ($8,000). Other PWA-funded projects in 1938 included the Montlake Boulevard pedestrian overcrossing, 24th Avenue Southwest paving, East Madison Street repaving, and the Ballard Bridge.

The project was completed in September 1939 with great fanfare. A celebration luncheon was held at the Edmond Meany Hotel on September 28, followed by a parade that included the Husky Marching Band. The procession made its way from the Meany to the dedication ceremonies where Mayor Langlie cut the ribbon in front of several thousand spectators.

In 1955, funds were approved to widen the viaduct from two to three lanes; construction took place in 1956-1957. The construction was estimated to cost $192,000 and the funds were approved as part of a $10 million


traffic improvement bond issue approved by Seattle voters in 1954. Additional funds for this project were approved in 1956, increasing the appropriation from $218,000 to $248,000. A 1956 scale of wages shows that carpenters earned $2.80 per hour in that year. The additional funds in 1956 were for a bus stop and for approaches to University Village. During the construction, traffic was limited to one lane eastbound. Westbound traffic was asked to detour to Blakely Avenue and Ravenna Place. Once the construction was finished, two lanes were designated for westbound traffic and one for eastbound. By the mid-1950s, the farmland was gone, but a Carnation plant and Shell station could be seen on NE 45th.

During a 1972 Engineering Department survey of bridge needs, it became evident that thewooden trestles on the east end of the viaduct were compromised by a 1966 fire and needed to be replaced. After two public hearings, it was determined that there would be no big changes to the viaduct. Work began in January 1976. Federal funds were used to help fund the project, and additional funds were approved in 1976 for rail replacement. In 1976, carpenters earned $8.90 per hour. For various reasons, mostly related to the pilings used and the noise of the pile-driving machine, the work took longer than expected. Neighborhood groups and businesses, as well as the University of Washington, made their concerns about the delay known to the City. The viaduct was closed from January to October 17th, 1976.

In 1983, City funds were approved for deck


rehabilitation on the viaduct. Adverse weather and an initial unavailability of specialized equipment needed for the project required the completion date to be postponed until the spring of 1984. A temporary asphalt overlay was installed to enable the viaduct to be used during the time construction was stopped and restarted.

After a fire in January 1996, the viaduct was briefly closed so an inspection could be made of the supports on the west end.

In 2010, the viaduct was closed again for several months for a major project to replace the west approach. Portions of the approach dated back to 1938 and needed to be replaced for safety reasons. The project was budgeted at $30 million and was expected to last about six months.NEW: Deadly crash on I-75 near Nokomis – Sarasota Herald

FACE is an English movie directed by Antonia Bird in 1997.

Robert Carlyle and four other thieves steal $300,000 during a hold-up. They share the loot and separate. The next day, one of the partners, Dave, comes to Carlyle's and tells him that his share has been stolen during the night. A few moments later, Carlyle discovers that his money has also disappeared. It appears soon that all the members of the gang have been robbed during the night. Everyone suspects everyone until Carlyle understands that the man behind this situation is in fact Dave who needed the money to pay Chris, a policeman, who was blackmailing him. The whole gang must now find a way to recover the money whichto ensure that Ferrybridge's 172 staff would be redeployed.

The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) said the changes - which see stamp duty increased gradually alongside the cost of the house, rather than increasing in large 'steps' - are responsible for a predicted rise in house prices, coupled with a lack of homes to choose from.

Under a revised system unveiled and launched earlier this month, the vast majority of buyers will pay less stamp duty - though it means people buying homes at the top end of the market will pay significantly more.

House prices in the north west, south east, the West Midlands and Yorkshire and Humberside are set to shoot up
