2 JOSIAH WOLCOTT was born on the 22nd of October, 1789. He married Jane Miller, daughter of Peter Miller, January 9, 1812.
Later, February 15, 1825, he married Elizabeth Fleming. The record shows that she was a daughter of Samuel Fleming. It is a matter of
some speculation as to which Samuel Fleming was her father. He was probably the same man that witnessed the deed of Boaz Fleming and
Benoni Fleming when they conveyedtheir land in Delaware to Benaiah Fleming. It may be assumed from the fact that no further reference to
him can be found on the records in this section that he went back to Delaware. There were several Samuels in Delaware.

The Peter Miller referred to here had a very large family, several of whom became connected with the Fleming family, as will hereafter appear.

He was born in Woodbury, New Jersey, May 15, 1759. During the Revolutionary War he served for five months in Captain Blauvett’s
Company, Col. Blake’s Regiment, and for short periods of time in other companies. The maiden name of his wife is not known. He was married
in Goshen, New York, February 5, 1785. On the 14th of June, 1796, he and John Miller purchased 348 acres of


land from Levi Springer for
240 pounds. The land had been granted to Samuel Hanway on the 16th of December, 1784. It lay between the land of Boaz Fleming and
Thomas Fleming and adjoined Reuben Wolcott and Benoni Fleming on the south. His will was dated on the 14th of June, 1837, and admitted
to probate in May, 1838. In this will he mentions his wife Mary and fourteen children, ten daughters and four sons. The sons were: Elisha,
John, Peter, and Henry. The marriage records of Monongalia County show the marriages of all these daughters.

Jane married Josiah Wolcott, January 9, 1812;

Elizabeth married Henry Amos, January 22, 1807;

Margaret married Edward Hartley, December 19, 1808;

Mary, called Dolly in her father’s will, married John Amos, January 20, 1814;

Hannah married William B. Fleming, May 13,1823;

Sarah married John Evans, February 23, 1809;

Rosanna married Isaac Brumage, May 4, 1809;

Lucinda married Elijah Morgan, March 19, 1826;

Eleanor married William Leeper, November 23, 1818;

and Nancy married Samuel Jackson, May 27, 1817.

Henry Miller, the son of Peter, married Rebecca Jackson, daughter of James Jackson and sister of Samuel, June 3, 1817.
Both Henry Miller and Samuel Jackson received their marriage licenses on the same day, each being surety for the other on the bond; and both
Peter Miller and James Jackson filed writings consenting to the marriages of their daughters. The other sons of Peter Miller cannot be
identified with certainty on the county records, since there were several Miller families here in the early days.

Josiah Wolcott bought 47-1/2 acres of land along the river near Middletown, which was a part


which are major labels today. The government tried to tax the stills and the “revenooer” fables were launched.]

There are several references to Josiah Wolcott in connection with the establishment of roads and their maintenance in the region around
Middletown. On the 11th of February, 1811, he was appointed surveyor of the road from Coal Run to the Harrison County line. The County
Court appointed him, Elisha D. Barrett, and Samuel Jackson on the 26th of April, 1824, to view and mark out a road from Buffalo Creek
near John Hall’s to intersect the road near Elizabeth Hall’s. He. Benjamin Burns, and Alien Hall were likewise designated on the 24th of
August, 1835, to lay out a road from Middletown by way of Alien Hall’s and Abraham Ice’s to William Whiteheads. He wasrecommended
to the executive of the state for captain in the 118th regiment of militia to take the place of Nathan Hall, July 28, 1817.

No record has been found of the death of Josiah Wolcott or of the death of his last wife. They probably moved to some of the western
states. Some of the older members of the Elizabeth King family say that Josiah had three sons, Milton, Minor, and Benoni.

His two daughters remained in Marion County. They were: (1) Lavina; and (2) Elizabeth. No record of the sons can be given here.

Lavina Wolcott (2-1), born about 1813, married Benjamin Bowman, son of David Bowman. Their marriage bond is dated on the 17th day
of March, 1836, and is signed by Milton Wolcott as surety. Their home was in Marion


County, probably on or near Mill Fall Run. Benjamin
Bowman died on the 5th of October, 1875. His wife lived until the 14th day of May, 1887. The death records of Marion County show that she
was 74 years old and that she was a daughter of Josiah and Jane Wolcott. These facts were reported by A. B. Morgan, her son-in-law.
Children: (1) William Harrison; (2) Virginia; and (3) Isabel.

Good morning.recognition and equality. Changes in social expectations and in legislation were achieved very slowly – the vote was only granted to women over 30 in 1918 and women over 21 in 1928, for example – but in the meantime the Woman Question was firmly on Britain’s social and political agendas. It was an area, too, where many women writers, including the poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning, made powerful and engaging contributions.

Early influences

Barrett Browning was always interested in the position of women in society, and throughout her career she wrote challengingly and combatively about the need for gender equality. In her youth she was an ardent admirer of the work of Mary Wollstonecraft, whose controversial book A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792) emphasised the ways in which middle-class


women were denied any proper education and were therefore made unfit for meaningful roles in society. It was a book which Barrett Browning believed should be read repeatedly because of its strong call for change. Certainly, she made sure that she educated herself to the highest levels through extensive reading in history, literature, the classics (particularly Greek), and a range of modern foreign languages.

Mary Wollstonecraft, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

Mary Wollstonecraft’s A Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1792) is a ground-breaking work of feminist philosophy, primarily attacking those who felt that education should be withheld from women. This copy contains Wollstonecraft’s manuscript notes.

Barrett Browning also believed that this educational training was crucial to her aim to be recognised as a successful poet. This was particularlywhich she believes women can do just as well as men. The poem follows Aurora from her lowly position in a London garret where she writes to make ends meet, to her position as successful and highly-regarded poet living in Italy – making Aurora Leigh a case study in women’s right to work and a celebration of women’s achievements.

Letter from Robert Browning to his son Pen, discussing Edward FitzGerald's attack on Elizabeth Barrett Browning, 13 July 1889

Aurora Leigh’s new ideas about gender led to it being criticised in the press; in this letter to his son Robert Browning recounts Edward Fitzgerald’s vicious attack, 1889.

One other major area makes Aurora Leigh an important text in relation to the Woman Question: the narrative of the working-class figure Marian Earle. Marian


to many of the key concerns of the Victorian Woman Question. Her works engage forcefully with issues of education, marriage, work, sexuality, motherhood, female solidarity and the need for gender equality. It was the power of these writings – and Aurora Leigh in particular – which would have such an influence on subsequent poets like Christina Rossetti, Mary Coleridge and Charlotte Mew as they continued to interrogate women’s position in society to the end of the century and beyond.

Share this story

TACOMA, Wash. -- Prosecutors have charged a Tacoma man with first degree animal cruelty after he allegedly tossed his neighbor's chihuahua out a second story window.

Police say they were at George G. Harris' apartment four times between Monday night and Tuesday afternoon for a litany of reasons surrounding Harris' claims of a dispute with his neighbor.

According to court documents, Harris first called 911 Monday around 5:15 p.m. to report that his house had been broken into and he was sure it was his neighbor who had done so. Tacoma police officers arrived to find no evidence of a burglary and left.

Four hours later, Harris once again called 911, this time telling dispatchers he had been attacked by a


friend of the neighbor, prosecutors said. Harris told those officers that his neighbor had stolen two marijuana plants, and a TV and that he was sure his neighbors had done it because of a "cookie trail" left from his unit to theirs -- which the officers were not able to find, according to investigators.

Harris also claimed he had been attacked with a shovel and punched in the face several times, even though officers found no evidence of any injuries to Harris' face, investigators said. The officers' report noted Harris was "obviously having a mental/drug issue," the documents said, adding Harris refused to talk to a mental health professional at the time.

Another hour later, officers were called to the home a third time after Harris reported suicidal thoughts, thecourt documents read. The dispatcher's log notes officers took a person to St. Joseph's Hospital.

Wednesday, officers were back at the apartment once again after dispatchers got a call from a woman screaming into the phone that someone had thrown her dog out the window. The woman, who prosecutors wrote was the neighbor Harris had accused of burglarizing the apartment, told officers she and her daughter had been looking for their long-haired chihuahua and asked her other children to knock on Harris' door. She said she then saw Harris throw her dog from an upstairs window about 30 feet off the ground, according to court documents. The woman reported her dog landed on concrete and was now limping and bleeding.

The dog was taken by animal control officers to the


local Humane Society where it was treated for a possible fracture but was expected to recover.

Meanwhile, officers interviewed Harris, who denied throwing the dog and again alleged he was burglarized by his neighbor. The neighbor later showed detectives a text message she received from Harris stating that he was going to war with her.HBO Acquires TV Rights to World War II Doc 'The Cold Blue' (Exclusive)

The film is set to screen at the New York Film Festival before debuting on the premium cable channel in June of next year.

HBO Documentary Films has acquired U.S. TV rights to the World War II doc The Cold Blue from Paul G. Allen's Vulcan Productions.

The film, directed by Erik Nelson, explores the daily lives of men in the Eighth Air Force as they undertook missions in the global conflict. The film features newly restored 4K footage and outtakes from William Wyler's 1944 documentary The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress, including raw footage that was recently discovered in the vaults of the National Archives.

The Cold Blue premiered at AFI Docs and will screen


at the New York Film Festival on Saturday Sept. 29, and Sunday, Sept. 30. The documentary will debut on HBO in June 2019.

"We're thrilled HBO Documentary Films is giving this breathtaking footage and powerful new documentary a platform," Rocky Collins of Vulcan Productions said in a statement.

The move came more than two weeks after about 5,000 men occupied a square outside the Kremlin, facing off with riot police and ruthlessly beating passersby who looked like they were from central Asia or the Caucasus, Russia’s troubled southern region.

In the days that followed, crowds of youths took to the streets shouting “Russia for Russians,” organized, it seems, not by the ultranationalists who had called the first gathering but through social media sites and blogs. Attacks against foreigners and people from the Caucasus spiked. At least one Kyrgyz man was killed.

Putin has not once commented on the death of a migrant or minority, at least 86 of whom were killed in hate crimes last year, according to the Sova Center, an NGO that monitors ethnic violence.

During his 10 years in power, Putin has attempted to use nationalism to fill the ideological vacuum created by the Soviet Union’s dissolution. He has attempted to control it, namely through the creation of nationalist youth groups like Nashi and the Young Guard (who just added famed spy Anna Chapman as a member). Created in the wake of Western-leaning revolutions in Ukraine and Georgia, Nashi has become a force of thousands, able to be called upon whenever needed.

HANSGROHE

Hansgrohe stands for: technical brilliance, a broad range of products and extraordinary design. The brand impresses on both a functional and an emotional level.

The Hansgrohe Group employs around 3,450 people in its offices in 42 countries, on all continents. Production occurs at ten plants, six of which are located in Germany. Ever since the company was founded in 1901, its company headquarters have been in Schiltach in the Black Forest.

Master clothier Hans Grohe (1871-1955) was an innovator. In 1899 he moved from Luckenwalde near Berlin to the small Black Forest town of Schiltach. Two years later he turned his back on weaving and established a metal pressing workshop. Hans Grohe had a passion for the element water, and so from 1901 onwards he bravely hedged his bets


on the sanitary sector, which was still in its early stages of development. Of course, bathrooms in private houses were only just becoming fashionable at that time. He specialised in tin showers, thus laying the foundations for untold success. During the course of the 20th century, Hans Grohe’s small three-man operation in the Kinzigtal valley developed into a global company. Today it is one of the international innovation and market leaders for mixers and showers.

From the trickle device to digitally controlled XXL showering pleasure: since 1901, inventions from the Black Forest think tank have been shaping the bathroom landscape all around the globe. Lots of products, concepts and solutions developed and designed at Hansgrohe have provided incentives for the international sanitation sector. Some made bathroom history, maybe evencultural history. Such a long and successful history obligates and motivates Hansgrohe to stay ahead of its time.

"Made in Germany" has always been a recipe for success for Hansgrohe. Around 80% of Hansgrohe production takes place in Germany: in six plants in the Black Forest. The mixer and shower manufacturer delivers to around 130 countries on all continents and more than 80 percent of its sales are generated abroad.

The question is, why does a company with such a broad international base still produce in Germany – when it would seem to be more cost-effective to produce all over the world? The answer from the Black Forest is: "because we count on German expertise and offer our customers a guarantee of quality".


On the Road Again

Ten years after the Ocean Lake trip, Bruun, Simms and Montgomery head out again, this time to Argentina. There were many trips in between, of course, and there've been many since. But it's apparent from the stories that this was a special journey.

"We had a really good time in Buenes Aires," Simms said of their three-week South American odyssy.

"But I think it was a little hard on Tom because he was the only one of us who spoke any Spanish at all.

So he was put in the position of being the responsible party and we had some hilarious times." When asked of the Argentina trip, Montgomery simply gives the response of many a reminiscent angler:

He then moved it to Steamboat, Colorado (1999), Boulder, Colorado (2001), and San Clemente, California (2004), as he took jobs as managing editor at Paddler, Senior Editor at Skiing, and Editor-in-Chief at Powder, respectively. Tom and The Drake are now both based in Denver, Colorado, where The Drake is finally all grows up(Swingers, 1996) to a quarterly magazine.

He will only do so much work, and will labor only under conditions natural and desirable to him." In July 1884, the magazine presented a special forum on "The Future of the Negro." And in November of that year, the Harvard paleontologist Nathaniel S. Shaler published his essay "The Negro Problem." In it Shaler proposed theories based on the inherited characteristics of racial difference, starting from a point of African American incapability:

We might think of Dixon's novels as "how to" guides for white supremacists seeking to justify the logic of Jim Crow.

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been barred from standing in next month's election by a top body of jurists and clerics which vets candidates, state media report.

Mr Ahmadinejad, a vocal critic of the West, served two terms as president between 2005 and 2013.

President Hassan Rouhani and leading hardliner Ebrahim Raisi have both been approved by the Guardian Council.

A final list of candidates for the 19 May poll will be announced on 27 April.

More than 1,600 candidates sought to stand, but only about six are selected by the Guardian Council, whose members are chosen directly


or indirectly by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The nominations of Mr Rouhani and Mr Raisi will lead to a showdown between bitterly divided political camps.

Mr Rouhani was elected by a landslide in 2013, on a platform of ending the country's diplomatic isolation and creating a freer society.

Two years later his government and six other countries reached a landmark deal, in which Iran agreed to curb its sensitive nuclear activities in return for the lifting of economic sanctions.

Mr Raisi is a seyed, meaning he traces his genealogy back to the Prophet Muhammad. He has a reputation for his uncompromising stance on key issues and is rumoured to be supported byAyatollah Khamenei.

Mr Ahmadinejad caused widespread shock when he registered as a candidate last week in defiance of Mr Khamenei's advice.

Last year the Supreme Leader warned Mr Ahmadinejad that such a move was "not in his interest and that of the country".

Mr Ahmadinejad's close ally Hamid Baqaie was also barred from standing in the election.

Mr Rouhani and Mr Raisi are expected to focus their campaigns on the state of the economy as well as the nuclear deal, which has been hailed by the president as his most significant success over the four years he has been in office.

Studies on the subcommissural organ of Salmo gairdneri.
The light microscopic analysis of serial sections of the subcommissural organ (SCO) of the rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) shows that the form of the groove-like (in cross section) organ varies over its total length. Its rostral origin is a tunnel-like structure anterior to the orifice of the hollow pineal stalk. The SCO forms the dorsal wall of the brain. Caudally the SCO is increasingly displaced from the surface of the brain by the fibers of the posterior commissure; the organ ends in a tabular area beyond the latter. The orifice of the pineal stalk is surrounded by the ependyma of the SCO that invaginates like a funnel and joins with the ependyma of the pineal stalk after a considerable narrowing. Theminutes and responsibility to seldom-used reserves — they played 14 guys in total and 11 of them received ten minutes or more.

One reason for the lack of continuity in rotations was the summer league format itself. Many teams had spent the entirety of their previous games trying to build chemistry and cohesion within a particular group, one that would give them the best chance to win and advance in the tournament. I heard from a number of teams and coaches who felt that format was not the most conducive to the real purpose of summer league: evaluating talent and player development.

The Nuggets led by six after the first quarter and stayed close all game, but Memphis pulled away in the fourth behind energetic performances from Vander Blue, Jack


the summer league, probably a little too much considering this wasn’t a loss that can be attributed to poor execution or effort. The Nuggets simply ran out of gas against a huge team with perhaps the best player in the tournament.

The Nuggets aren’t yet finished with summer league, but it’s essentially winding down and the competitive portion is pretty much in the books. Coaches told me they would use Denver’s final game in the consolation round as an opportunity to play different guys who haven’t seen much court time in the first five games.

The Nuggets final game of summer league will be played Friday at 6:30pm MST against Memphis in the Thomas & Mack Arena.

Maybe not, but the intensity on display Wednesday was certainly something different from whatwe’ve seen in the summer league so far. The Nuggets defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 87-82 in their first “playoff” game in Las Vegas, advancing to the round of 16 in the tournament with their first win in four tries.

The game was marked by physical play and tighter rotations by both coaches. There’s no doubt guys were trying to win and coaches had a little less patience for the evaluation process than they did in the earlier part of summer league.

Jordan Hamilton returned to the team after taking a leave of absence to attend a funeral in Los Angeles. He came out firing on all cylinders, setting the tone early with 18 first quarter points. From then on the Nuggets nursed their lead while fending off Pelicans runs


21 minutes. Washington had little trouble establishing a comfortable lead midway through the first quarter and were able to put it on cruise control the rest of the night.

On the Denver side of things, it was a nightmare. There were glimmers of hope throughout the Nuggets’ first two double-digit losses in summer league, but the latest affair only confirmed what the standings already said: the Nuggets can’t get anything going and have been the worst performing club of the preliminary round by far.

With the losses mounting and the offense following the defense into a state of utter disarray, the Nuggets did their best to stay positive and upbeat. Coach Lester Conner delivered a lengthy speech following the game and seemed confident the Nuggets would be able to stickand Quincy finished with 11 points and 4 rebounds in 24 minutes.

Tournament Update

The Nuggets are the #22 seed and are schedule to play #11 seeded New Orleans in round one on Wednesday afternoon. The game is scheduled for 3:00pm in the Cox Pavilion.

Quincy enjoys physical battle with Vesely

Coach Lester Conner continued to experiment with playing Quincy Miller at multiple positions. The long and versatile Miller started at the four again but spent more time at the three than he did in the first two contests. Miller was one of the few Nuggets able to get some defensive pressure on Vesely with his length, but Jan had a great game and made some pretty difficult shots.

Quincy displayed some toughness and a mean streak in a physical matchup with Vesely,


rookies, fringe NBA talents, and assistant coaches.

This season, the Nuggets are bringing a guard-heavy 16-man roster to the table, with important opportunities up for grabs among several young players with real chances to not only make the roster, but possibly get in line for actual minutes in the upcoming season. Denver is only bringing in five players with NBA experience, but three of those (Miller, Hamilton, and Fournier) are returning from last year’s team and essentially guaranteed roster spots next season. Add in second round pick Erick Green, who is also a virtual lock to be signed, and that means this squad will feature at least four players who will definitely be on the 2013-2014 roster.

Newly-retained assistant Melvin Hunt will coach the team, which will start out withhas drawn comparisons to the last player to lead the NCAA in rebounding before him, Kenneth Faried in 2011. He is known to have a high motor and Anosike is actually a sneaky pick to be the team’s starting power forward if Melvin Hunt elects to play Quincy Miller at the three. He will play some five too due to lack of depth at that position.

#25 // Joel Barkers // Forward

Nuggets fans who follow Ty Lawson on social media may already be aware of Barkers without actually knowing it. The 6-6 Forward is a longtime friend of Lawson’s and has been seen hanging with Ty since his days as a Nuggets rookie. He has lived in Denver and most recently London, where he played professionally last season. He


year’s summer league but coaches told me they wanted to see him improve his defensive awareness and on-court composure. What Hamilton needs to do this summer is lead the team and make winning plays. He is one of the most talented scorers in summer league and can really help himself by figuring out when to look for his shot and when to get others involved. He must demonstrate an ability to guard other top scorers as well. I expect Jordan to dominate and be a sneaky pick to win summer league MVP.

#12 // Luke Harangody // Forward-Center

Harangody is one of the most experienced players on the roster. He spent two years in the NBA with the Celtics and Cavs in addition to a full year in the D-Leagueformer Lakers second-round pick is another scoring combo guard on a roster full of them. He is fighting an uphill battle for minutes but as a strong defender who can score in bunches, I like Odom to carve out some kind of role. He had a few nice games in the Orlando summer league with the Boston Celtics.

#22 // Travis Releford // Guard

Releford is a very interesting guy. He was previously viewed as one of the nation’s top high school recruits before fading into a complimentary role at Kansas. Releford, however, turned into one of the very best role players in the country at Kansas where he started alongside Ben McLemore last season.

He is a spot-up shooter who played at UCLA and UNLV. He went undrafted in 2012 and wound up in the D-League last season. He could offer some three-point shooting but in my view, only stands to get minutes if other guards ahead of him struggle.

Hundreds of union members picketed Saturday at the annual general meeting of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party, protesting essential services legislation the McNeil government introduced last month.

The legislation forced hundreds of Northwood home support workers back to work, and registered nurses at the Capital District Health Authority say they fear they will be targeted with a similar law.

Protesters marched through the Westin Hotel in Halifax where the Liberal meeting was taking place. The demonstration was organized by the Nova Scotia Government and General Employees Union. Members from other unions in Nova Scotia joined.

The United States and Cuba will hold the first session of their new bilateral commission on normalization issues in Havana on Friday, the U.S. State Department said.

U.S. Secretary John Kerry and Cuba Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez announced creation of the commission following a meeting on Aug. 14 — the day the U.S. flag was raised outside the U.S. Embassy in Havana for the first time in 54 years. It’s expected to serve as a steering committee in the rapprochement process and hold regularly scheduled meetings.

The United States plans to send a small delegation headed by Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs Deputy Assistant Secretary Alex Lee. The U.S. delegation also will include David McKean, director of the secretary’s policy planning staff. Charge d’affairesGreek politicians reacted angrily on Monday following the admission by former Turkish Prime Minister Mesut Yilmaz that Turkish secret agents intentionally started forest fires in Greece in the 1990s as part of state-sponsored sabotage.

The claims are not new and were common knowledge on the islands of the eastern Aegean which were particularly hard hit by wildfires in the 1990s. But Yilmaz’s comments -- part of an interview published in the Turkish daily newspaper Birgun over the weekend -- are the first admission by an official source that Ankara was funding subversive activities in Greece.

According to Yilmaz, who served as premier three times in the 1990s, agents of the Turkish secret service set fire to Greek forests during the leadership of his archrival Tansu Ciller, from 1995 to 1998.

The ANC's provincial nomination conferences drew to a close on Thursday amid reports of violence, voter fraud, and factional discord in the party.

Save & Share

Of the nine provinces, and the three African National Congress leagues, two held their conferences on Thursday, despite a deadline for last week Friday.

The Limpopo ANC nominated deputy president Kgalema Motlanthe as party president at


its provincial conference on Thursday morning.

Motlanthe won with 268 votes, while President Jacob Zuma secured seven.

The Western Cape had also decided on Thursday morning to nominate Motlanthe for president.

Limpopo delegates nominated current ANC treasurer Mathews Phosa for the deputy presidency and Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula to take over from Gwede Mantashe as secretary general.

Human Settlements Minister Tokyo Sexwale was nominated for treasurer, North West premier Thandi Modise for national chairwoman and Thenjiwe Mtintso -- a former deputy secretary for the ANC -- was again nominated for that position.

After the nominations were announced a small group of delegates chanted in celebration: "We don't like Zuma, he fired ANCYL [African National Congress Youth League] president Julius Malema".

Malema hails from Seshego in Limpopo.

The province carried on with its conference despite awalk-out by delegates supporting Zuma and allegations of voter fraud.

They claimed the conference did not verify the credibility of delegates.

Some delegates, who did not want to be named, complained that when they went to register, they discovered that unknown delegates had signed under their names and collected accreditation.

The conference was postponed last Friday after delegates disrupted the conference, also accusing provincial leadership of using bogus delegates.

On Wednesday evening, two men were arrested when people tried to force their way into the conference, Limpopo police said.

The Western Cape ANC also nominated Mbalula for the position of secretary general.

A re-vote was called for after nominees for the positions of deputy president, deputy secretary, chairperson and treasurer failed to get an outright majority.

The province adjourned its conference early on Saturday morning


without endorsing candidates because of logistical delays, including with the verification of branch delegates.

Provincial secretary Songezo Mjongile said on Sunday that the conference had reconvened at 9pm on Saturday night, but had collapsed again.

ANC spokesman Keith Khoza said the nominations of the provinces would be accepted.

He also said he was not aware if any North West ANC members had laid formal complaints at the ANC's Luthuli House headquarters.

"Well, I know that three people came to Luthuli House the day before yesterday, but I am not sure what they came to discuss," Khoza said.

The Star newspaper reported on Wednesday that Mthethwa had hijacked the North West conference and replaced Motlanthe's supporters with bogus delegates.

It also reported that he ordered police to shoot rubber bullets at anti-Zuma delegates.

North West policeconfirmed that stun grenades were used to disperse a group of people who tried to gain entry to the conference, but could not say whether they were Motlanthe supporters.

The province was to have held its conference at the Kosmos Hall in Hartbeespoort on Friday.

However, proceedings were delayed because of verification issues and because of a parallel conference being held in Mahikeng.

The parallel conference was organised by provincial secretary Kabelo Mataboge, who was supporting Motlanthe for president.

Mataboge was shot at outside his home in Mmabatho on Friday morning by an unknown attacker. He was not injured.

The Eastern Cape, Mpumalanga, the Free State and Northern Cape had also nominated Zuma.

In the Eastern Cape, Zuma took 392 of the votes versus Motlanthe's 211; in Mpumalanga, Zuma got 427 votes and Motlanthe


17; in the Free State Zuma got 324 votes and Motlanthe none; and in the Northern Cape, Zuma got 169 votes and Motlanthe 25.

The ANC Women's and Veterans' leagues also nominated Zuma.

Gauteng, along with the ANC Youth League, nominated Motlanthe.

Motlanthe has not yet indicated whether he would accept the nominations.The Toyota FJ45LV is the classic Land Cruiser we know and love's bigger brother.

The Italian called on his players to accept the unfamiliar feeling of defeat after Spurs denied them a Premier League record with a deserved 2-0 triumph

Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte urged his players to accept defeat to "a great team" after Tottenham ended the Premier League leaders' ambitions of a record-breaking 14th consecutive top-flight win in the same season.

Dele Alli headed home a pair of Christian Eriksen crosses either side of half-time to give Spurs a deserved 2-0 victory at White Hart Lane.

Conte bemoaned the fact that Alli's second – his seventh in his past four outings to continue an impressive hot streak – came after Diego Costa and Eden Hazard had come close to levelling for Chelsea, but there were fewother moments of encouragement for his side.

"We knew that this could happen before now," he told Sky Sports. "I think I saw a game with a good balance. They scored a goal at the end of the first half and then they scored the second goal in our best moment.

Commercially, the solar energy market soared 170% in New Jersey during the second quarter. While California still remains the largest solar market in the United States, New Jersey now accounts for 24% of all photovoltaic solar systems in the country. New Jersey’s legislators have been proponents of solar energy for years,offering incredible solar rebates and competitive solar renewable energy certificates.

assistant city manager Larisa Sims said Tuesday night.

In for a penny, in for a pound

So, why not dream even bigger?

If the city could get the plans to be worth more than $10 million, it would meet the requirements under the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grants from the US Department of Transportation.

The case made Tuesday by Sims and city engineer Mike Yeager appears to be strong. The money would not only be used to create an economic development attraction from the Licking River to where the Waterfront restaurant floated for more than twenty years before accidentally floating away in 2011 and then announcing plans to return at Covington Landing before accidentally floating away again and sailing off for repairs in Boone County (the Waterfront's plans are stillon, Sims said), but it would also shore up Riverside Drive which, due to its crumbling condition, was referred to as possibly soon becoming "Drive Into the River" by Commissioner Steve Frank.

Eventually, Riverfront Commons would go all the way to Route 8 in the Covington city limits, an effort that could even be possible if the feds come through with the large gift requested by the city.

From concrete wasteland to green destination

The amenities along Covington's riverfront have shrunk to almost nothing. The famed Mike Fink restaurant boat never reopened and was forced out of the city and now rests vacant in Newport. Covington Landing's attractions are long gone. The Waterfront is doing whatever it's doing in Boone County. Meanwhile, all of this nothing is taking place in the


shadow of Cincinnati's rising riverfront where apartments, a hotel, a massive retail and entertainment development, and business towers have joined the city's two sports stadiums and slavery museum.

On the Covington side, visitors and residents walk Riverside Drive to take in the stately antebellum mansions or to feed the large population of pigeons or geese or ducks that have assumed ownership of the former Mike Fink site. Mostly, Covington's riverfront has existed in recent years for people to look at Cincinnati's riverfront.

And what a view.

But now Covington hopes its residents and guests may also enjoy the view east and west, too: a cobble beach with access for kayaks on the river, a trail system that passes under the Roebling Suspension Bridge and connect at the Waterfront site, a fishingarea on the riverbank near Madison Place, an entertainment oval for events, a trail feature that brings guests within an inch of the water, all highlighted by attractive lighting, bike racks, and benches. "All those types of amenities you would expect to see when you're biking, hiking, or coming to events," Sims said.

The Western Walk would lead visitors from Covington Landing to the former Waterfront site via an 8-foot wide trail that culminates with a recreation attraction unlike any other around. There would maybe be a zipline, climbing towers, moon bounces, and a structure to provide views into the city and across the river. "This is not provided in the region," Sims said. "It would be a service to folks that are here and people that are coming


to the hotels and the convention center. People might come from lots of other places."

Queen City Water Sports could have a permanent home where the Waterfront was, complete with a training facility and location for Row Cincinnati, which could be called Row Covington, according to president Pedro Palacios.

Water recreationists could use the site for kayaks and canoes while younger students could participate three to five days a week in an after-school tutoring program followed by rowing practice.

"It is for promoting the growing interest in water sports," Palacios said. He added that his program is modeled after one in New York where inner city girls learn to row and then can possibly turn that skill into an athletic scholarship to college.

my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue
could make of both names nothing longer or
more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself
Pip, and came to be called Pip.
I give Pirrip as my father's family name,
on the authority of his tombstone and my sister,—Mrs.
Joe Gargery, who married the blacksmith. As
I never saw my father or my mother, and never
saw any likeness of either of them (for their
days were long before the days of photographs),
my first fancies regarding what they were
like were unreasonably derived from their
tombstones. The shape of the letters on my
father's, gave me an odd idea that he was
a square, stout, dark man, with curly black
hair. From the character and turn of the inscription,
"Also Georgiana Wife of the


Above," I drew
a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled
and sickly. To five little stone lozenges,
each about a foot and a half long, which were
arranged in a neat row beside their grave,
and were sacred to the memory of five little
brothers of mine,—who gave up trying to
get a living, exceedingly early in that universal
struggle,—I am indebted for a belief I religiously
entertained that they had all been born on
their backs with their hands in their trousers-pockets,
and had never taken them out in this state
of existence.
Ours was the marsh country, down by the river,
within, as the river wound, twenty miles of
the sea. My first most vivid and broad impression
of the identity of things seems to me to have
been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards
evening. At such a time I foundthe alder-trees and pollards,
a mile or more from the church.
The man, after looking at me for a moment,
turned me upside down, and emptied my pockets.
There was nothing in them but a piece of bread.
When the church came to itself,—for he was
so sudden and strong that he made it go head
over heels before me, and I saw the steeple
under my feet,—when the church came to itself,
I say, I was seated on a high tombstone, trembling
while he ate the bread ravenously.
"You young dog," said the man, licking his
lips, "what fat cheeks you ha' got."
I believe they were fat, though I was at that
time undersized for my years, and not strong.
"Darn me if I couldn't eat em," said the man,
with a threatening shake of his head, "and
if I han't half a


mind to't!"
I earnestly expressed my hope that he wouldn't,
and held tighter to the tombstone on which
he had put me; partly, to keep myself upon
it; partly, to keep myself from crying.
"Now lookee here!" said the man. "Where's
your mother?"
"There, sir!" said I.
He started, made a short run, and stopped
and looked over his shoulder.
"There, sir!" I timidly explained. "Also Georgiana.
That's my mother."
"Oh!" said he, coming back. "And is that your
father alonger your mother?"
"Yes, sir," said I; "him too; late of this
parish."
"Ha!" he muttered then, considering. "Who
d'ye live with,—supposin' you're kindly
let to live, which I han't made up my mind
about?"
"My sister, sir,—Mrs. Joe Gargery,—wife
of Joe Gargery, the blacksmith, sir."
"Blacksmith, eh?" said he. And looked down
at his leg.
After darkly looking at his leg and me several
times, he came closer to my tombstone, took
methe nettles, and
among the brambles that bound the green mounds,
he looked in my young eyes as if he were eluding
the hands of the dead people, stretching up
cautiously out of their graves, to get a twist
upon his ankle and pull him in.
When he came to the low church wall, he got
over it, like a man whose legs were numbed
and stiff, and then turned round to look for
me. When I saw him turning, I set my face
towards home, and made the best use of my
legs. But presently I looked over my shoulder,
and saw him going on again towards the river,
still hugging himself in both arms, and picking
his way with his sore feet among the great
stones dropped into the marshes here and there,
for stepping-places when the rains were heavy
or the tide


was in.
The marshes were just a long black horizontal
line then, as I stopped to look after him;
and the river was just another horizontal
line, not nearly so broad nor yet so black;
and the sky was just a row of long angry red
lines and dense black lines intermixed. On
the edge of the river I could faintly make
out the only two black things in all the prospect
that seemed to be standing upright; one of
these was the beacon by which the sailors
steered,—like an unhooped cask upon a pole,—an
ugly thing when you were near it; the other,
a gibbet, with some chains hanging to it which
had once held a pirate. The man was limping

Their famous CEO, Elon Musk, is a visionary, but also unpredictably demanding, the employees said.

They talked about long hours and an intense work environment that some call "the Tesla life."

They described an attitude of worship that some employees have toward Musk, likening it to a "cult."

One weeknight in the spring of 2016, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, walked the floor of his car factory in Fremont, California. He was not alone.

On his arm was an attractive brunette wearing a dress and heels that clacked as they strolled across the gleaming white floors. Neither wore protective gear, such as a hard hat or glasses, as they


toured the facility. A puzzled factory worker watched the pair enter a conference room where a romantic dinner for two complete with tablecloth awaited them.

The 5.3-million-square-foot Fremont factory, where Tesla builds its all-electric cars, is one of the world's most advanced automotive production facilities, employing about 10,000 people. It's also been the center of drama as Tesla struggles to meet demand for its vehicles.

But for Musk, Tesla is a personal kingdom where the boundaries of home and work are blurred and the method in the madness is never entirely clear.

"Elon basically does what he wants, whenever he wants," the person who witnessed the apparent date told Business Insider. (Tesla disputes this was a date and said this was primarily a business dinner that the person was invited to).

Tosome who work at Tesla, that's fine. Musk has a loyal following of employees who believe that if he asks them to do the impossible, they can do it. At 47, Musk has defied the skeptics and dragged electric cars into reality through the force of will, grit, and stubbornness. Those who work for Musk liken it to a drug.

"My favorite thing about the job is to take that thing that seemed impossible and blow it up," said Marco Batra, a six-year Tesla veteran and the global sales delivery operations manager.

Tesla employees also said they love the company's mission: making beautiful electric cars and solar products, healing the earth, and disrupting the old world along the way. It's a noble cause that inspires many to give it their


held a variety of jobs, from entry level to managers, in engineering, production, and sales, at the Fremont headquarters and factory, the "Gigafactory" in Nevada and other locations. Some requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the press, while others were authorized by Tesla and spoke with us in unmonitored, private conversations.

Long hours, busy toilets

Jonathan Galescu, a welder who works on the Tesla Model X car, starts his shift at 5:50 p.m. and spends the next 10 to 12 hours fixing body problems on cars.

Tesla tests and fixes cars on the assembly line as they're being built. Galescu spends his shift walking — sometimes running — alongside the cars and welding as he goes, he said.

Galescu started at Tesla four years ago and has seenmany idealists crash headfirst into the realities of working there.

"People quit within the first two hours, people quit after a week," Galescu said. "There was one guy who was fresh out of high school, 18 years old, never had a job before and was excited to work: 'I want to work seven days a week, 12 hours a day!' By about the fifth day, he was on the floor crying." The guy quit soon after.

Galescu is part of a group pushing to bring a union into Tesla. He sounds exhausted and more than a little fed up, exactly what you'd expect from someone who believes he's worked too many hours in unfair conditions.

Some 260 miles away, at Tesla's 4.9-million-square-foot Gigafactory, insiders describe a loud hive of activity.

Bathrooms at


the room, employees burst into vigorous applause.

"There's a big cult-like following for Elon," one software engineer said. "No company have I worked for, in our quarterly meetings, do you clap when a CEO walks into the podium. So that's just something that people do at Tesla."

Born and raised in South Africa, Musk came to the US during his college years and soon found success as one of the original members of the "PayPal mafia," the group of founders who created the electronic-payment system. In 2008, when electric cars were still considered an oddity for tree huggers, Musk produced the beautiful Roadster. Not only was it electric, it was fast. In 2012, Tesla made more waves with its Model S luxury sedan. And today, Tesla is challenging the industrywith its mass-market Model 3.

His other job, as CEO of rocket company SpaceX, which ushered in the commercial space industry and aims to bring humans to Mars, helped catapult him to rock-star status worldwide.

At Tesla, Musk can be seen anywhere and everywhere — standing behind a production worker, peering at a robot, or dressed in protective garb in the clean room. Some of his admirers post themselves in special spots in the factory to catch a glimpse of him walking by with his senior staff in tow.

At 6-foot-2, with broad shoulders, Musk is an imposing man. "I ran into him a couple times. He's like this force field," a former internal communications employee said. "You could almost see the air parting."

Employees described him as everything from aloof and


intimidating to friendly and emotional. His discussions are littered with f-bombs, and he's been known to give bear hugs to production workers when the company reaches a milestone.

Musk works so many hours in Tesla's 24/7 production world that virtually everyone has a story about finding him with pillow and blanket asleep somewhere — on the factory floor, under a desk, in a conference room. He recently said in an interview that he was so exhausted from this past year at Tesla that he sometimes uses the sleep aid Ambien.

Some people said they were afraid of Musk, adding that their bosses have warned them not to go near him or take his picture, though he has been known to graciously pose for selfies.

If you can convince Musk you havestop what they were doing and research the issue.

"It would cause huge scrambles, and you would spend days chasing down some issue that wasn't a real problem," this person said. "Giving people a license to email Elon created a bunch of problems with everyday work. There's a reason why the chain of command exists."

Fear of the tweet

If Musk's WTF emails can trigger a fire drill, it's nothing compared to his tweets.

With his outspoken personality and an itchy trigger finger, Musk routinely picks public fights and makes promises about all sorts of amazing new products, features, or milestones.

Sometimes his tweets land him and the company in serious trouble, such as the infamous "funding secured" tweet, which has led to an SEC investigation.

Tesla's semi. Tesla

And much of the time, these


during Tesla's annual shareholder meeting, Musk really did announce that Tesla's engineers would have to put rocket thrusters on the new version of the Roadster, set to hit the market in 2020. He also promised that some Model 3 customers would get their cars months faster than the official delivery time on Tesla's website.

Some employees defended Musk's tweet about going private, praising it as part of the CEO's commitment to transparency. But the unpredictability of Musk's comments on Twitter has caused some members of the company's board to urge him to refrain from tweeting, The New York Times has reported.

When asked about Musk's management style, Tesla pointed toshowing them stretches, exercises, how to use athletic tape, and more, Kirschner said.

Still, some of the blue-collar workers we spoke with said they witnessed accidents in the years they worked there, or had accidents of their own, ranging from minor to serious. Phillips, who is among the employees pushing for a union, said in his four years at the company he has witnessed "one, two, three, four stretchers in the last couple of years come by me."

There's some evidence to back his claims. A report from the Fremont Police Department, received by Business Insider, showed more than 300 911 calls made from the Fremont facility between January 2016 and March 2018 involving a wide variety of alleged issues, such as intruders on the property and suicide threats.

Belated Update: Gallup on Weighting by Party

After yesterday's post on Gallup's decision to start reporting two different types of rolling averages regarding the president's job approval rating, the folks at Gallup emailed to point out two things I had overlooked. First, they have been reporting the "smoothed" averages I discussed yesterday in their (subscriber only) "In Depth" presidential approval page since January. Second, back on January 16, Editor-in-Chief Frank Newport posted some similarly in-depth comments (free to all) about Gallup's policies on weighting by party identification. For those who follow the debate on party weighting - and I know you're out there - Newport's post is a must read. Here is a quick summary:

Ninety-six years ago today, the 1890 Federal Census was nearly entirely destroyed in a blaze at the Department of Commerce Building in Washington DC. The fire raged on through the night and at first it was feared that all census returns from 1790 to 1910 were lost (the most recent 1920 census was in another part of the building). After the massive effort to removed the burnt and waterlogged records from the building in the aftermath of the fire, it was discovered that the greatest loss was the 1890 Federal Census.

Interestingly, not all records were lost, but the existing pages languished in temporary storage and were never really put back into any useful order or condition. As a result, they were placed on a list of records recommendedEvelyn Sharma has been working hard to improve her Hindi speaking skills, and helping her in the endeavour is veteran actor Anupam Kher

Beverly, MA (May 14, 1999) - Leading entertainment software publisher, Hasbro
Interactive announced today it has released all rights that it may have to the vintage
Atari hardware platform, the Jaguar.

Hasbro Interactive acquired rights to many Atari properties, including the legendary
Centipede, Missile Command, and Pong games, in a March 1998 acquisition from JTS
Corporation.

This announcement will allow software developers to create and publish software for the

President Obama, elected in 2008, became the first president to include a Louisiana coastal project in an administration budget, but his two attempts for approximately $38 million each never made it out of the House.

The changes

Meanwhile, Louisiana was beginning to have second thoughts about some of the projects proposed in that 2007 legislation.

The shock of the devastation caused by hurricanes Katrina and Rita prompted the Legislature to create the Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, putting all coastal efforts under one agency for the first time.

Its resulting Master Plan for the Coast set specific criteria for projects. Several in the 2007 bill didn’t pass muster under those guidelines, some were judged poor values


For roughly one thousand years, it was the Bible of Western Christendom. It was the version to which European Christians turned to compose their prayers and liturgies, that great saints consulted in their meditations, and that the greatest scholars quoted in their treatises.

It’s harder to think of a translation of the Bible that has had more staying power than St. Jerome’s Latin version, known as the Vulgate, which was completed late in the fourth century and held sway over the Church through the Council of Trent, in the mid-1500s. Of course, the Vulgate is not the work of Jerome alone: he adopted many old Latin translations that preceded him and his own translation would be subject to later revisions. But it’s undoubtedly thanks to his theological and linguisticOn a sunny Thursday afternoon in May, the corner of First Street and LaSalle in New Orleans' Central City neighborhood was lively. Kids tooled around on bikes and grown-up neighbors danced to the sounds of DJ Jubilee and Al Green, spun onstage by DJ Mannie Fresh, the producer whose exceptional skills put Cash Money Records on the map back in the '90s. The party was hosted by PJ Morton — a native New Orleanian and the keyboardist for Maroon 5 — who followed Fresh's set with a long, jammy performance of his song "New Orleans Girl," including both a bounce verse and a trombone solo.

The party took place at a hot locus for New Orleans musical culture, where second line parades roll through and Mardi Gras Indians show


off, near the housing projects where the Neville Brothers and Juvenile and Harold Battiste, the modern jazz innovator who worked as Sonny and Cher's musical director, grew up.

And also it's where Buddy Bolden, the mysterious cornetist who scholars and fans credit as a pioneer of jazz, lived during the peak of his short, improbably influential career. Born in New Orleans in 1877 and self-taught, Bolden quickly became an in-demand act in his youth, popular for the forcefulness of his cornet's sound and his tendency, novel at the time, to improvise on the blues and ragtime and parade-band standards that were the standard repertoire around the turn of the century. (Also for what would become his theme song, the bawdy "Funky Butt" — or "Buddy Bolden's Blues.") As historianDon Marquis wrote in his landmark 1978 biography In Search of Buddy Bolden: First Man of Jazz, he "played all over town... for every conceivable function," at parks, picnics, parades and dances, and on the back of wagons that drove around town to advertise them.

Not that you can hear any of that.

The subject of an impressionistic biopic, Bolden, being released May 3, Bolden is a historical wraith who still looms large over the legacy of jazz. No written compositions or recordings of his playing exist; Wynton Marsalis, who scored the film, had to reconstruct a facsimile of his sound based on both recordings of his contemporaries and their recollections of his playing and his presence. To date, researchers have identified only one photograph of him (which you can


see above). In the first years of the twentieth century, he was the biggest name in town. But, as researcher James Karst recently wrote in Preservation In Print, by the time "jazz" entered the lexicon in the mid-teens, Bolden had been gone for years.

It was much later that the first jazz scholars took an interest in establishing a record around the birth of the music and began interviewing the remaining people and players who remembered its creation. Bolden's name was uttered over and over again, with awe — in the preface to First Man of Jazz, Marquis quotes Louis Armstrong reminiscing: "He blew so hard that I used to wonder if I would ever have enough lung power to fill one of those cornets."

With nothing but secondhand reportsand imagination, Bolden's legend grew. He was a ladies' man and a boozer who played all night, and louder than anyone; an innovator who catalyzed one of America's most important cultural inventions. Marquis writes that it's certainly possible that very absence of hard facts is what has fed his exaltation. But the memories of those who did hear him still stand out. "There were other cornetists and soloists who were prominent, but they were just not remembered like he was," Karst told me.

Based on news reports and arrest records, historians surmise that the horn player became unpredictable and violent in his late twenties, suffering psychotic breaks and episodes of paranoia. His mental illness chipped away at his ability to work, and he stopped performing. In 1907, he was


committed to the Louisiana State Insane Asylum at Jackson, where he died in 1931. He was buried in a potters' field in New Orleans — the specific location of his resting place has been lost to time. Where he lived his life, however, could be on the verge of avoiding the same fate.

PJ Morton's party was a kickoff celebration for the Buddy's House Foundation, his recently announced plan to renovate Bolden's house, in consultation with the Preservation Resource Center (PRC) of New Orleans, an organization which advocates for the city's historic architecture. According to Morton, the house will become a community center, museum and recording studio, offering music-business education for young performers and celebrating the jazz originator's legacy.

Bolden's house, at 2309 First Street, stands two doors down fromthe Greater St. Stephen's Full Gospel Baptist Church, the worship center presided over by PJ Morton's parents, Bishop Paul S. Morton and Pastor Debra Morton, from whom its fate has become inextricable. The house was granted landmark status in 1978, following the publication of Marquis' book. In 2000, the Times-Picayune reported that after the property suffered minor damage from a fire, its owner approached then-Mayor Marc Morial for financial help in restoring it. The city offered to move the building to a site in the Treme neighborhood, but the owner declined; it remained a rental property until 2008, when the Mortons' church bought it. In recent statements, the elder Mortons have said they were unaware of its history when they bought it, and PJ learned even later. "I


found out when I moved home three years ago," he said. "And shamefully, as a musician who grew up in New Orleans, I didn't even know Buddy's story."

There have been murmurs of dissatisfaction among jazz fans with the new film, Bolden, for liberties it takes with the historical record. (Director Dan Pritzker has said that the film deliberately leans into his mythology because of the dearth of confirmed facts and the phenomenon, even in the face of that, of Bolden's massive legend.) But as the clock ticked down to the movie's release, a lot of those critics and scholars, in New Orleans at least, were concerned less with the story on the screen than with that double-shotgun house.

Bolden lived there for about fifteen years, from age ten to25 or so, James Karst said. His residence there coincided with his most active and fertile time as a musician, and the family's move, "to a much shabbier house" nearby, said Karst, was timed to his decline.

The house was included on the Louisiana Landmarks Society's annual list of the city's nine most endangered properties in 2011, when it was also cited for blight (as it was in 2014, too). At that time, according to a report in the New Orleans Advocate, the Preservation Resource Center, an organization that advocates for the preservation of historical architecture in the city, offered to help renovate the landmark and find a new buyer, as it had done with the historic homes of other early jazz artists. But the church declined to sell,


saying it planned to renovate 2309 First Street itself.

But jazz scholars and preservationists like John McCusker, author of the 2012 Edward "Kid" Ory biography Creole Trombone and a tour guide who's been bringing groups to see the house on First Street for more than twenty years, were growing skeptical. When the New Orleans City Council voted to approve a federally-funded rebuilding plan for the Mortons' church in August 2018, which did not include the Bolden house, McCusker and others led a charge both at the council meeting and online, arguing that the jazz site should be prioritized. (Many tweeted at Wynton Marsalis, hoping that he might weigh in due to the forthcoming film.)

McCusker, though, is taking a skeptical wait-and-see approach to the new plans. ("What does the Bibletell us?" he said. "'We shall know by their acts.'") This is less cynicism toward the new Foundation and the church in particular and more a learned response to New Orleans' track record with the physical markers of its extensive musical legacy. Louis Armstrong's birthplace was torn down in the sixties as part of the construction of a new police headquarters and court complex. The site of J&M Studios, where Cosimo Matassa waxed hundreds of groundbreaking early rock and R&B recordings, is now a laundromat. The Dew Drop Inn, a major locus of black music and cultural life in the city from World War II until the '70s, stood shuttered and crumbling for decades, as did the Eagle Saloon and Odd Fellows Hall on South Rampart Street. The


latter sites have been the subject of periodic attempts at restoration and reinvention, though nothing substantial has yet panned out.

"The city really actively tried to suppress jazz music for years," Karst says. By the time that history – and that of rock and roll, and R&B – was looked at with reverence, it was often too late. "Armstrong himself wasn't really appreciated til the sixties. Due to racism, ignorance, disinterest in black pop music ... it's really kind of a shock that [the house] is still there."

According to McCusker, the whole neighborhood around the First Street house deserves more attention as a generative zone for jazz. Within six blocks of the Bolden house, he said, were also homes occupied at the same time by pioneers like "Kid" Oryand Johnny Dodds.

"But nobody talks about Central City as a birthplace of jazz," he said. "And it's a gateway to a better understanding of music and a better understanding of New Orleans, and I don't understand why it hasn't been more of a priority."

The economic precarity and poverty of his living conditions – he dropped out, remember – is often anecdotalised and to an extent romanticised in recollections. Though declaring the historical avant-garde to be obsolete, Filliou is still in many cases the perfect formulation of the humble but heroic artist disengaged from the vulgarity of making a living and the trap of alienation therin. Still, he was not a hermit as that formulation often requires – he was a networker, and one of few who espoused the importance of social relations as the basis of networked coproduction. His conception of The Eternal Network concerns cosmological consciousness more than infrastructural efficacy but was also a karmic potlatch of hospitality and reciprocitythrough which the artist could economically survive and creatively prosper. A potlatch where the gift-giving is of innocence and imagination. This network, this La Fête Permanente, is the poetical economy Filliou desired to transcend the political economy and which could only be realised through networked solidarity.

The alternative is the misery of renting one’s labour – the inevitable destiny of the proletarian. This however means renting labour time and becoming entrapped within the machinations of alienation of the spectacle. A surplus of time (that is time not necessarily dedicated to wage labour) is also arguably behind the conception of the artist – and by extension art itself – as inherently bourgeois.

Nine Japanese nationals have joined Islamic State, Japan's former air force chief, Toshio Tamogami, quoted a senior Israeli government official as saying, but the government's top spokesman said on Friday it had not confirmed the information.

Meanwhile, a senior US military commander said that around 1,000 recruits from the vast region stretching from India to the Pacific may have joined Islamic State to fight in Syria or Iraq.

Follow Ynetnews on Facebook and Twitter

Tamogami, Japan's former air force chief, now a senior official of a tiny new political party, said on his blog that Nissim Ben Shitrit, the director-general of Israel's foreign ministry, told him this month that nine Japanese had taken part in Islamic State.

Asked about the possible participation of Japanese citizens in the militant group, Chief Cabinet SecretaryYoshihide Suga told a regular news conference, "The government has not confirmed such information."

No one was immediately available for comment at the Israeli embassy in Tokyo, at the Israeli foreign ministry or at the Japanese foreign ministry.

Tamogami told Reuters that no details besides the number of Japanese participants were given to him in his meeting with Nissim Ben Shitrit, a former ambassador to Japan.

"I don't know anything further," Tamogami said. "He was tight-lipped." Tamogami's blog shows the meeting took place on Sept. 12 in Israel.

About 1,000 recruits from a vast region stretching from India to the Pacific may have joined Islamic State to fight in Syria or Iraq, the head of the US Armed Forces' Pacific Command, Admiral Samuel Locklear, said on Thursday.

His comment came as a threat


by Philippine militants to kill a German hostage, in a show of solidarity with Islamic State, has stoked fresh concern the Middle East group's brand of radicalism is winning recruits in Asia and posing a growing security risk in the region.

"That number could get larger as we go forward," Navy Admiral Samuel Locklear, who heads the US Armed Forces' Pacific Command, told reporters at the Pentagon.

However, Locklear did not specify which of the 36 countries in the Pacific Command - some of which have their own Islamist movements - have been recruiting grounds for the Sunni fundamentalist militant group.

In addition to India, the Hawaii-based Pacific Command's area of responsibility includes Australia, China and other Pacific Ocean states. The command does not cover Pakistan.

Locklear told reporters that current estimatesput at 1,000 the number of "potential aspiring fighters" that have moved from the region encompassed by the Hawaii-based Pacific Command. He did not specify a time period.

His comments came as a threat by Philippine militants to kill a German hostage in a show of solidarity with Islamic State has stoked fresh concerns that the Middle East group's brand of radicalism is winning recruits in Asia and posing a growing security risk in the region.

In the region, thousands have sworn oaths of loyalty to Islamic State as local militant groups capitalize on a brand that has been fueled by violent online videos and calls to action through social media, security analysts say.

Locklear said Islamic State recruitment was "high on the list" as officials look to future security concerns


in Asia. He said most of the aspiring fighters had been recruited via social media and warned that officials were looking at ways to guard against blowback from potential attacks as foreign fighters return to their home countries.

"We are working with all of our partners and allies to see how we harden (security in) our own countries and the region and the world against a threat like (the Islamic State)," he said.

On Wednesday, the United Nations Security Council demanded that all countries make it a serious criminal offense for their citizens to travel abroad to fight with militant groups, or to recruit and fund others to do so.

On the same day, the United States designated two dozen individuals and groups as foreign terrorists or terrorist facilitators, enabling itnot as reactive." It took some time before

The Garden of Gethsemane

Best known as the garden adjacent to the Church of All Nations and not too far from the Church of Mary Magdalene, wherein Jesus and his disciples came to pray after the Last Supper, the Garden of Gethsemane is historically linked to both prayer and betrayal. Indeed, the garden was chosen by Jesus as his last place of prayer during his final hours, and was tragically chosen by Judas Iscariot as the place to betray Jesus and turn him over to the Romans.

The Garden of Gethsemane is mentioned at least twice in the gospels; once in the Gospel of Matthew where it is said: "and they came to a place which was named Gethsemane and he saith to his disciples, sit ye here while Ithat these are the original Biblical trees described in the Gospel of Matthew. While there has been some controversy to this effect, it is a known fact that olive trees can grow to be tens of thousands of years old, a fact which determines their Biblical ancestry possible.

The Garden of Gethsemane - Mary's Tomb

While the Garden of Gethsemane is most conspicuously known for its relation to the life of Jesus and serves as a symbol of his unyielding faith, certain denominations within the Christian faith also hold that the garden carries great importance in the life of Mary.
Indeed, according to Eastern Orthodox teachings, the Garden of Gethsemane is not only the place of Jesus' final prayer if not also the place wherein the Virgin Mary fell to her
