FINDINGS OF FACT
1. On June 23, 1989, the debtor, PAUL FERRUZZA, filed with this court a voluntary petition under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code and an order for relief was entered.
2. The plaintiff, DOMINICK TATAVITTO, is a resident of Dutchess County, New York. He is a creditor of the debtor, having obtained a judgment against the debtor in the sum of $25,336.00, plus interest, which was entered on March 24, 1983, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, Dutchess County. The action was tried in the state court before a jury in March of 1983. The verdict


of the jury was rendered against the debtor, dismissing his complaint to collect on a promissory note secured by a mortgage on the plaintiff's house. The jury rescinded the mortgage and entered a verdict of $25,000.00 on the counterclaim to that action which was filed by the plaintiff in that proceeding.
3. After the jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff in the state court, the debtor moved to set aside the jury verdict on the counterclaim and for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, or, in the alternative, for a new trial on the ground that the verdict was contrary to the weight of the evidence. By order entered on May 17, 1983, the state court denied the debtor's motion.
4. The judgment which was entered in the Supreme Court, Stateof New York, *477 Dutchess County, on March 24, 1983, recites in relevant part as follows:
ADJUDGED that the complaint of PAUL FERRUZZA against DOMINICK TATAVITTO seeking foreclosure be in the same is hereby dismissed on the merits, and it is further
ADJUDGED that the note and mortgage recorded in the office of the County Clerk of Dutchess County on March 27, 1979 in Liber 1230 of Mortgages at page 664 described in plaintiff's complaint and executed by the defendant, DOMINICK TATAVITTO, for the purpose of securing payment to PAUL FERRUZZA in the sum of Forty One Thousand Nine Hundred Thirty Dollars ($41,930.00) with interest on or about February 16, 1979; the Notice of Pendency dated August 7, 1981 filed by the plaintiff in this action and the contract dated


February 16, 1979 executed by the plaintiff and the defendant and described in the defendant's counterclaim, be in the same is hereby rescinded, vacated, annulled and set aside, and it is further
ADJUDGED AND ORDERED that the note and mortgage made and executed by DOMINICK TATAVITTO to PAUL FERRUZZA on the 16th day of February, 1979, dated the 16th day of February, 1979, and recorded in the office of the Clerk of the County of Dutchess on March 27, 1979 in Liber 1230 of Mortgages at page 664 mortgaging the defendant's premises described in plaintiff's complaint be in the same are hereby cancelled and satisfied, and it is further
ADJUDGED AND ORDERED that the Clerk of the County of Dutchess, State of New York, mark the aforesaid mortgage recorded inhis office in Liber 1230 of Mortgages at page 664, cancelled and discharged of record upon the production and delivery to the Clerk of the County of Dutchess, a certified copy of this Judgment and Order, and it is further
ADJUDGED AND ORDERED that all debts and obligations secured by the said note and mortgage shall be cancelled, and it is further

debtor. However, the plaintiff said that he threw out the tapes after he obtained a judgment against the debtor on his state court counterclaim. Thus, there was no proof as to what the tapes revealed, nor was there any proof as to what the actual figures where.
12. For a period of two weeks before the sale of the delicatessen, the plaintiff worked in the store with the debtor in order to learn the operation and to become acquainted with the suppliers. The debtor was anxious to sell the business because he was about to undergo surgery for cancer. The debtor testified that during the two-week period before the plaintiff purchased the delicatessen, the plaintiff was present in the store every day and observed the cash sales and wasintroduced to the suppliers.
13. The debtor testified that for a period of two months after the plaintiff purchased the delicatessen, the business was good. When the debtor visited the store after his surgery, he said that he noticed that the shelves were empty and that plaintiff was not sufficiently replenishing the inventory. The debtor also testified that he saw molded cheese and refrigerator doors left open. The debtor also testified that the neighbors complained to the Health Department because of the unsanitary condition of the premises after the plaintiff abandoned the business.
14. After the plaintiff discontinued installment payments for the purchase of the delicatessen, the debtor commenced a state court action to recover the balance of the purchase price for the delicatessen. The plaintiff, who was the defendant

Growth seemed to be a theme at Red Wing Downtown Main Street's annual meeting, which took place Feb. 1 at the Sheldon Theater. Not only is the organization physically expanding its borders, it also is bringing three small businesses to downtown Red Wing and hopes to add staff members in the coming year. "We have some momentum going forward," said John Becker, the organization's outgoing president. "We're very excited." Late last year, the DTMS board of directors voted to expand the organization's borders to include Old West Main Street and the historical Pottery District.

Red Wing School Board members met with the Red Wing City Council just before their regular meeting Mondaybusiness in Toledo, Ohio. It has no warehouse, factory or place of business in Massachusetts, and has no property therein. A service was made November 17, 1938, upon the defendant corporation "by delivering to William Peiter, Esq., as its agent and the person in charge of its business, an attested copy" of the subpoena. Peiter was a "sales representative" or "field man" who, under the supervision of the vice-president in charge of sales, had the duty of procuring for the Company specifications for automobiles, and if there were no distributors in the territory to which he was assigned, he was to deliver and recommend to the defendant persons, firms and corporations that might become distributors of defendant's product. He was to assist in looking for dealers whom he


could recommend to the distributors. It was also his duty to gather information respecting the operations of distributors and dealers and to report to the defendant, at its office in Toledo. His authority was limited to discovery, investigation, recommendation and report. He had no authority to close contracts with distributors, or to bind the corporation by any contract whatsoever, or to make collections on behalf of the corporation. At the time of the service upon him, his territory covered the states of Maine, Rhode Island and a part of Massachusetts. He did not reside in Massachusetts and maintained no office in this Commonwealth. While working in Massachusetts he stopped at a Boston hotel, where he met persons who were interested in becoming distributors and where he was foundat the time of the service.
Peiter was employed by the defendant as sales representative from November 7, 1938, to January 31, 1939. During this time, defendant had no distributors in Massachusetts.
Between November 12 and 19, 1938, the Boston Automobile Show was held. The defendant rented space in the show for the purpose of exhibiting its product, and several models were exhibited. These cars were consigned to a local dealer, but Peiter and another sales representative Stacy G. Benson, who was working with Peiter in this territory, were instructed by defendant to re-sell the cars exhibited at the show to dealers other than the one to whom they had been consigned, after satisfactory arrangements had been made with the said consignee. This they did. The regular course of business


pursued by the defendant in November, 1938, was to enter into Distributor Sales Agreements which were, by their express terms, made in Toledo, Ohio, and contained provisions that the distributor should not be the agent or local representative of the corporation for any purpose. The distributor then entered into contracts with dealers which had to be approved by the defendant before they became effective.
It appears that no such Distributor Sales Agreement was entered into in Massachusetts while Peiter and Benson were representing the defendant here. They were, however, instrumental in securing several dealers who entered into contracts with the defendant, and they secured other dealers who entered into contracts with Willys-Overland Distributors, Inc., another corporation.
These contracts were forwarded to the office of the defendant at Toledo, Ohio, whereand gave prepaid orders entitling passengers to tickets over the defendant's line. It was held that the railroad did not submit itself to the jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania courts so as to be amenable to process.
In Philadelphia & Reading Ry. Co. v. McKibbin, supra, the railroad maintained no ticket office in New York, but tickets over its line were sold by agents of the connecting carrier. Its name was on a sign in the New York office, and it was listed in the telephone directory, having the same number as that of the connecting carrier, but it appears that this listing was not authorized by the railroad. In this case it was held that the railroad was not within the jurisdiction of the New York courts.
In People's Tobacco


Company, Ltd. v. American Tobacco Co., supra, the Company had been obliged, under an order of court, to sever relations with a subsidiary, and after the dissolution the defendant had sold to jobbers in the state and had agents soliciting orders to be turned over to the jobbers. They had, however, no right to make sales, collect money, or extend credit. The foreign corporation, by these facts, was not brought within the jurisdiction of the court where suit was brought.
A banking corporation of Louisiana had the usual dealings with several corresponding banks in New York, where it carried continuously an active regular deposit account. It had with these correspondents other transactions involving the relationship of principal and agent. The question whether this bank could be held to answerwas upon the president of the defendant while temporarily in New York. In that case it appeared that the defendant secured orders in New York, through a representative who worked on commission, for about $200,000 of furniture per year; that he sold in New York about $1,000 of furniture which had been shipped there for samples. The representative collected some overdue accounts. The president and sales manager came to New York ten or eleven times a year discussing business matters with the representative and at times adjusting accounts with customers; and its sales manager, while in New York, arranged a contract for radio cabinets, and it also solicited other orders for radio cabinets. A motion to dismiss the action for want of jurisdiction was affirmed by the Circuit


was a foreign corporation manufacturing automobiles and had a distributor's contract with a distributor in Boston, which contract was terminated October 31, 1935, whereupon authorized agents of the defendant, with duties very similar to those of Peiter in the case at bar, got in contact with the dealers relative to having them obtain cars directly from the defendant. The defendant exhibited in the Boston Automobile Show and, through its representatives, took direct charge of the Exhibition. These agents made arrangements for the sale of these cars, partly in Massachusetts and partly in Connecticut. During the show, one of the employees took orders for cars which were sent on to the defendant at Detroit. One of the agents, acting for the defendant in Massachusetts, took up his residence here.

Monastery of the Resurrection (New Jerusalem)

The unique appearance and unusual fate of the Monastery of the Resurrection make it one of the most fascinating phenomena in the history of Old Russian culture. The cloister arose at the command of the patriarch, yet immediately became the personal matter of the sovereign. A decade of dazzling creative achievements gave way to years of disfavour and neglect, followed by even darker days in the twentieth century.

The idea for a monastery called New Jerusalem belonged to Patriarch Nikon – one of the most remarkable figures of the seventeenth century. Nikita Minin was born in the small village of Valmanovo in Nizhny Novgorod Province in 1605. After teaching himself to read and write, he took the name of Nikon and became a hermiton Anzer Island in the White Sea. In 1643, he was appointed the abbot of a monastery on Lake Kozh in the diocese of Novgorod.

Nikon’s great knowledge, energy and abilities soon caught the attention of the pious Tsar Alexis Mikhailovich, who fell completely under his influence. He was appointed metropolitan of Novgorod in 1649 and patriarch of all Russia in 1652.

The middle of the seventeenth century was a period of the active entrenchment of the autocracy in Russia, following the turmoil of the Time of Troubles. Although now gathered together in a single whole, the enormous territories had still not undergone centralisation. This concerned not only administrative and economic matters, but also the life of the Russian Orthodox Church. Important questions had still to be resolved regarding the


unification of the rituals and the canonisation of the scriptures.

In the 1640s, a number of church dignitaries had attempted to revise the prayerbooks and rituals. This group included the tsar’s personal confessor Stephen Vonifatiev, the protopope Avvakum and Nikon himself. But while Avvakum was a timid conservative who supported the old ways, Nikon was much bolder and more liberal. He campaigned for an enlightened revival of traditions and an expansion of the cultural and political horizon.

During this period, the idea of the unification of the church rituals was closely associated with the special role of Russia among the Orthodox nations. Moscow was the “Third Rome” and the “New Jerusalem,” the guardian of the true traditions and faith after such other cities as Jerusalem, Constantinople and Rome had fallenan ambitious programme of new holy objects, including the construction of three patriarchal monasteries.

The Monastery of the Cross in the White Sea (1656) imitated the cloister of the same name outside Jerusalem, while the Iviron Monastery on Lake Valdai (1653) was inspired by the celebrated abbey on Mount Athos, underlining the role of Russia in the hearts of many Orthodox Christians. But the centre of the whole project was to be the Monastery of the Resurrection, which was intended to directly replicate the holy city of Jerusalem on Russian soil.

The idea of building a new monastery on the outskirts of Moscow had slowly taken shape in Nikon’s mind. Travelling from Moscow to Valdai in 1655, he had stopped to rest in the village of Voskresenskoe thirty miles from


the capital. Nikon was struck by the setting, which he thought ideal for a cloister. The following year, he bought the land and adjoining villages from a boyar called Roman Bobarykin.

The site selected for Nikon’s monastery stood on a high hill near the River Istra. All the surrounding fields, mounds and rivers were renamed after places in the Holy Land. The hill was called Zion, while the River Istra was renamed the Jordan. The elevation on the eastern approach from Moscow was called the Mount of Olives, where a convent called Bethany was founded. The garden to the north-west was named Gethsemane, while the brook alongside Nikon’s skete was Cedron. The mountains to the north were called Tabor and Hermon. The village of Mikulino was renamed Preobrazhenskoe (Russiafor “Transfiguration”), while the nearby Zinoviev Hermitage became Capernaum.

The territory of the main hill was levelled out and the first building – the wooden Church of the Resurrection – was officially opened in autumn 1657. The tsar and his court attended the consecration of the church.

In the following years, other wooden structures were built – the chambers of Nikon, utility and administrative blocks, the archimandrite’s chambers and dorters. The monastery was surrounded by a ditch and wooden walls with eight towers. But the most important act was the construction of a stone cathedral.

The model for this building was the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Three circumstances appear to have contributed to local knowledge of the church in the mid-seventeenth century, inspiring the construction of an exact


physical likeness on Russian soil.

In 1649, Patriarch Paisius of Jerusalem visited Russia, bringing a cypressmodel of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and a plan of Jerusalem, showing all the holy sites. The model clearly and authentically reproduced the layout of the basilica. Arsenius Sukhanov, an elder of the St Sergius Monastery of the Trinity, visited Jerusalem twice between 1653 and 1655 and wrote a detailed description of the church. Finally, Nikon’s famous library probably contained a famous book on the sacred buildings of the Holy Land. Published by Bernadetto Amico in Rome in 1609, this work included exact blueprints of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

Nikon spared no expense when building the cathedral. He was assisted by an influx of outstanding masters from White Russia and theUkraine, who introduced new ways of decorating facades and interiors with carved gilt iconostases and multi-coloured tiles. They had already worked for Nikon alongside leading Russian masters at the Iviron Monastery and the Monastery of the Cross. In 1658, many of them began working at New Jerusalem.

The tsar transformed the Monastery of the Resurrection into a major landowner, supplying it with all the necessary funds. Nikon was awarded control over all three of his monasteries, which were financed by income from fishing, saltworks and various urban churches. In addition, the cloisters owned a total of six thousand homesteads.

Gradually, however, Nikon’s belief in the primacy of the clergy in the state and the patriarch over the tsar led to a distinct cooling of relations with Alexis Mikhailovich. From 1658,


he was more or less confined to New Jerusalem, where he devoted all his time and energy to building a magnificent architectural ensemble.

Construction of the cathedral was headed by a stonemason called Averky Mokeyev, while the lavish interior decor was designed by Pyotr Zaborsky. In recognition of his services, Zaborsky was buried in the cathedral in 1665. The tiled decor was created by White Russian masters – Stepan Ivanov (Polubes), Ignatius Maximov and the elder Hippolytus. Sergei Turchaninov from Moscow cast all the bells, while the famous wood carver Klim Mikhailov also worked there.

The Cathedral of the Resurrection exactly repeats the general structure of the Jerusalem prototype and is very similar in size. Three holy sites provided the inspiration for the architectural composition – the burial site ofChrist (Tomb of the Lord), Golgotha and the cave (well) where St Helena found the True Cross. The corresponding structures in the Cathedral of the Resurrection were the enormous rotunda with a tented roof on the western side, which included the Chapel (Cubiculum) of the Holy Sepulchre; the central cruciform Church of the Resurrection; the Church of St Helena (set in the ground) with the cave where the cross was found.

Construction proceeded at a rapid pace. By 1666, the rotunda and the cruciform church had been built as far as the vaults, to a height of approximately thirty metres. That year, the Church Assembly passed Nikon’s programme of reforms, despite many local protests, including a great uprising at the Solovetsky Monastery.

Although the council confirmed Nikon’s reforms and anathematised


all those who refused to accept them, including Avvakum and the Old Believers, the patriarch’s behaviour also drew criticism. Nikon was accused of reviling the tsar and defrocked on 12 December 1666. That same day, he was put on a sledge and exiled as a simple monk to the St Therapontus Monastery.

Nikon’s downfall brought a sudden change to the fortunes of the Monastery of the Resurrection. From a project of national importance, New Jerusalem now became just another cloister under construction. The enormous possessions of Nikon’s three monasteries were split up. New Jerusalem soon ran short of construction funds and work ground to a halt.

In 1678, Feodor III began supporting the Monastery of the Resurrection, making rich endowments and awarding it ownership of twenty other cloisters and 1,630peasant homesteads. On 29 November 1679, the tsar and his sisters attended a litany in Golgotha. The following day, they were present at a liturgy in the wooden Church of the Resurrection.

In 1681, Nikon was allowed to leave his place of exile and return to Moscow. But he never reached the capital, dying on the ship transporting him across the River Volga to Yaroslavl on 17 August 1681.

Nikon’s body was brought to New Jerusalem and solemnly buried in the unfinished stone cathedral on 26 August 1681. The tsar attended the funeral and ordered Nikon to be buried with full honours as a former patriarch. Patriarch Joachim refused to perform the funeral ceremony, so the service was conducted by Metropolitan Cornelius of Novgorod.

In 1679, Feodor III transferred New Jerusalem


to the government department responsible for the royal palaces. One of Nikon’s former assistants, a monk called Sergius, was appointed the head of construction work, which was carried out by Ivan Korela. In 1685, the Cathedral of the Resurrection was finally completed and consecrated in the presence of the tsar and his court.

The problems of the Cathedral of the Resurrection continued in the following century. The foundations began to sink in various places, causing the stone tented roof to collapse in 1723. Three years later, a major fire caused further damage. The walls of the rotunda were eventually repaired by architects Christopher Kondrat and Ivan Michurin in 1736.

Continued concern over the foundations led the abbot, archimandrite Ambrose, to suggest rebuilding the tented roof from wood, rather than stone.A design was made by the famous Italian architect Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli, who entrusted the construction to his compatriot, an engineer called V. Bernadacci. The work only ended in 1759, under the guidance of another architect, Karl Blank. The new tented roof had windows arranged in three tiers and was considered a masterpiece of Russian eighteenth-century architecture.

The rotunda is the physical and spiritual centre of both the cathedral and the whole monastery. The tented roof rises up to a height of over fifty metres, dominating the entire landscape, while the Baroque cupola creates a striking silhouette. The central part of the complex is formed from the arms of the cross of the Church of the Resurrection, which has a dome above the junction of the four arms.

Both the


rotunda and the church are surrounded by two-storey galleries, forming a semi-circular divergence behind the altar on the east. A staircase leads from there to the four-columned semi-underground Church of St Constantine and St Helena, which has a low dome.

The entire composition is invested with a gradually expanding movement, running from the low and wide eastern section to the vertical power of the rotunda and the tented roof on the western side. Until 1941, the vertical accent of the ensemble was intensified by a high seven-tiered belltower, standing at the south-western corner of the Church of the Cross. This edifice largely repeated the original model in Jerusalem, although the upper tiers copied the Ivan the Great Belltower in the Moscow Kremlin.

In the seventeenth century, all the roofs ofthe Cathedral of the Resurrection were flat and framed by tiled balustrades. The rich decoration of the facades conveyed an important symbolical and aesthetic meaning. The resurrection of Christ paved the way for the forthcoming resurrection of the dead, when the righteous would be taken up into heaven. The Cathedral of the Resurrection was designed to be a prototype of not only the city of Jerusalem on earth, but also the New Jerusalem – the celestial city described in the Book of Revelation. Hundreds of cherubs were depicted on the multi-coloured tiles in the friezes of the first and second tiers. Decorating the ends of the numerous windows and the dome-drums of the cupolas, they symbolise the heavenly host.

A wide frieze with a form of ornamentation known as


a “peacock eye” still survives on the apse. This repetitive motif is created from eighteen large tiles and represents a stylised pomegranate flower on a peacock feather. The peacock symbolised the bird of paradise, while the pomegranate stood for Christ’s blood sacrifice. First seen in the Cathedral of the Resurrection, similar friezes later adorned many important buildings in the late seventeenth century. Pomegranate flowers are also the main decorative element of the ceramic portals inside the cathedral.

The Church of St Constantine and St Helena was buried in the ground, in imitation of the prototype in Palestine, which was dug out of a cliff. The Russian church had a flat roof and a large cupola decorated with a multi-coloured ceramic blind arcade. In the middle of the eighteenth century,the old decor was dismantled and replaced by an upper girdle on the dome-drum, imitating the girdle of the Church of the Cross. Lantern endings rose up above the eastern corners of the church, adjoined on the north and south by octagonal chapels (destroyed in the eighteenth century). In the middle of the eighteenth century, a ditch was dug around the church, in order to expel groundwater. In the early nineteenth century, the ditch was paved with white stone.

The Cathedral of the Resurrection originally had six small cupolas. Three of them stood above the side-chapels of the divergence behind the altar. One cupola marked the north-eastern side-chapel of the Dormition in the Church of the Cross, while the other two stood above the flat roofs of the galleries.


The latter were intended to be located in the dome-drums of their side-chapels, which were accessed from the roof via ceramic portals.

The partially surviving balustrades of the second tier of the galleries suggest what the cathedral must have looked like when all the flat roofs had exterior balustrades. In the middle of the eighteenth century, the cupola above the side-chapel of the Dormition was replaced by a rectangular superstructure. This gave the whole eastern section a symmetrical form, underpinned by the Baroque pediments, oval windows and new sloping roofs.

The spatial composition of the interiors is also orientated on the Jerusalem prototype. Rastrelli’s tented roof was the perfect accompaniment to this great seventeenth-century construction, covering an area twenty-two metres in diameter and eighteen metres in height. Sixty large windows,arranged in three tiers, illuminated the free space surrounded by two tiers of arched galleries. In the centre stood a cubiculum richly decorated with tiles – the Chapel of the Holy Sepulchre. At the entrance to the chapel, on the western side, lay a stone from the Tomb of Jesus.

The high arch in the eastern wall joined the rotunda to the Church of the Cross, while the rotunda galleries continued into its side sections. The entrance to the Church of the Cross from the south was visually very similar to the Chapel of the Invention of the Holy Cross in Jerusalem, repeating the forms of its double entrance, with the Red (Beautiful) Portals on the left and the Judgement Portals on the right.

To the right of the entrance


is a two-storey, slightly protruding extension. Golgotha is located on the second floor, imitating the elevated location of Calvary on a hill in Jerusalem. In Palestine, the main floor beneath Golgotha contains the Place of the Skull – the burial place of the skull of Adam and the tomb of Melchizedek, the first high priest of Jerusalem. Below the Golgotha in the New Jerusalem Monastery are the Chapel of Adam (dungeon of St John the Baptist), the side-chapel of St John the Baptist and the tomb of Patriarch Nikon. There is also a surviving crucifix carved from cypress in the middle of the seventeenth century.

The Cathedral of the Resurrection had a total of twenty-nine side-chapels, fourteen of which were created in the seventeenth century. Ten of them hadtiled iconostases, seven of which have survived. The most spectacular are the eight-metre three-span iconostases in the side-chapels behind the altar dedicated to the Passions of Christ – the chapels of Longinus the Centurion, the Division of the Robes and the Crown of Thorns. There is a five-span iconostasis in the north-eastern side-chapel of the Dormition (corresponding to the Prison of Christ in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem).

The main decorative elements of the iconostases are the order compositions along the tiers, formed by the pilasters and the open arches between them. Flowers and fruits are depicted on shining emerald backgrounds in Baroque cartouches, with cherubs above the arches and in the capitals. The surfaces of the reliefs are covered in sparkling enamel – dark-blue, white,


yellow and brown. The frieze inscriptions formed from tiles allude to their dedications or ktetors. Similar tiled friezes were present on the walls of the Church of the Cross, decorating the most important sections, both inside and outside. The wall of the divergence behind the altar ends in a wide girdle of tiles.

The various compartments of the cathedral are linked together by elegant portals. Their cubic supports are embellished with large peacock-eye motifs. The tiles are not just part of the decor, but also a structural form. The portal leading from the south to Golgotha is particularly handsome. The place of Golgotha is marked on the facade of the Church of the Cross by a double window, which shares the same frame of tiles – a masterpiece ofdecorative art.

In the middle of the eighteenth century, the interiors of the rotunda and the Church of the Cross were decorated with Baroque moulding. Cartouches, brackets and endings interspersed with hundreds of cherubs now adorned the surfaces of the walls and vaults. The forms of classical orders were employed in the central pylons of the Church of the Cross and the other pillars in the cathedral.

The snow-white Baroque moulding combined with the original ceramic patterns to form unique compositions. In the frame of the entrance to the side-chapel of the Dormition, the seventeenth-century portal became the central element in the composition of cartouches covering the entire wall. This fusion of the faceted forms of Russian seventeenth-century Baroque and the plastic organicness and volumetric corporeality of European Baroque proved


to be not only possible, but also highly innovative.

The coloured surfaces of the tiles were matched by the hundreds of small paintings in the tented roof and on the vaults and walls. The compositions are framed by moulded cartouches of a very high artistic standard. The paintings in the divergence beyond the altar are particularly striking.

In 1801, Tsar Paul I commissioned architect Matvei Kazakov to design the side-chapel of St Mary Magdalene on the north-eastern side of the rotunda. The walls were faced with light artificial marble. In the centre was an altar in the form of a half-rotunda with elegant Corinthian columns made from white marble and gilded bronze decorations.

The end of the construction of the Cathedral of the Resurrection in 1685 allowed the monastery to concentrateon building the rest of the ensemble, which was completed over the next ten to fifteen years. The residential and utility constructions were laid out in a line along the western, northern and eastern walls. The southern side was left free so as not to spoil the view onto the cathedral. A refectory was built in the middle of the western section. Cells for the monastery children and hospital wards were constructed to the south of the refectory, while the abbot’s chambers were built to the north.

The first floors of all these new constructions were formed from the utility buildings dating from the time of Patriarch Nikon (before 1666). Tsar Alexis Mikhailovich’s younger sister Tatyana commissioned a second floor over the middle constructions, consisting of three large refectory


chambers – one for monks, one for pilgrims and one for laymen.

An open arcade with balustrades was attached to the first floor, concealing the unevenly arranged windows of the original constructions. The regularly arranged windows of the second floor created a festive rhythm. Their frames took the form of columned porticos bearing detached pediments. Similar frames adorned and united the facades of the other new buildings.

The refectory halls stand in a single line running from north to south. The Church of the Nativity of Christ adjoined the middle hall, creating a T-shaped structure. Built between 1685 and 1692, it formed the centre of a small ensemble. Standing on a high ground floor, its main premises were joined to the refectory halls. The church led to the gallery onthe arcades uniting all the other blocks. In the 1760s, this gallery was replaced by a narrow arcade with Baroque decor.

The two tiers of windows and the portals on the facades of the Church of the Nativity of Christ form symmetrical compositions. The columned porticos with triangular pediments create a sense of spatial activeness, supplemented by the dynamic nature of the decorative octagons at the top of the church.

Around the same time, to the north of the cathedral, a single-storey palace was built for the tsar’s sister Tatyana. The facades were similar to those of the refectory chambers. In the middle of the eighteenth century, a line of cells were built to the west and east of the palace (all disfigured by alterations in the nineteenth century). The


facades of the palace were restored in the 1960s.

The most important act of construction between 1690 and 1697 was the building of the monastery walls and towers. This project was headed by the architect Jacob Bukhvostov. The walls were one kilometre in length and up to three metres thick, with eight towers and Holy Gates on the eastern side facing Moscow. In keeping with the general concept of the entire ensemble, the chapel above the entranceway was called the Church of the Entry into Jerusalem.

Deep arched niches run along the entire perimeter of the inner walls with embrasures for firing from heavy weapons. Above the embrasures is a military gallery enclosed by rail posts, similar to the original promenade galleries on the roofs of the cathedral and aroundthe refectory. A beautiful view opens up from the gallery onto the whole ensemble, particularly the cathedral.

On the outside, along the top of the walls, runs a girdle of machicolations and upper arrowslits, transformed into rhythmic decorative ribbons. The detached, non-coincidental rhythm of the frequent apertures creates a sense of lightness and mobility. The turrets are crowned by small low octagons, which often have octagon windows, or round tiers dotted with the blind cylinders of small spiral staircases. The towers end in stone tented roofs (or cones) with look-out points.

The silhouettes of the towers clearly copy the outlines and rhythms of the rotunda in the Cathedral of the Resurrection. The turrets and walls are like a handsome and well-defended city, with the shining cathedral in the centre as


a symbol of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and a portent of the promised Tabernacle of God. An additional association with Jerusalem was the names given to some of the towers in the eighteenth century – Gethsemane, Zion and the House of David.

The solemn entrance into the monastery was enhanced by the church above the Holy Gates. An octagonal superstructure on top of a quadrilateral structure, the Church of the Entry into Jerusalem was the first example of a multi-tiered gateway chapel in Russian architectur?.

The expansive lower tier with three vaulted entranceways acts as the support for a broad promenade gallery. In the centre of the gallery stands the quadrilateral structure of the church, surrounded on all four sides by lower semicircles. The octagonal superstructure and two smallerblind octagons rise lightly upwards. The foundation of the superstructure has wide arches, increasing the impression of ascension and lightness inside the church. The top octagonal superstructures are like the tiers of the refectory church. This common association between the verticals in the west and the east lends a sense of completeness to the main southern views, establishing the main axis of the entire ensemble.

While the walls were being built, various single-storey utility and auxiliary premises appeared nearby – chambers for the deputy and the guards at the Holy Gates, a kvass brewery at the western wall, a malt house and a smithy at the northern wall. Later, in the nineteenth century, a two-storey hotel and a hospice were constructed outside the walls, on the western approaches to


the monastery.

The Skete of Patriarch Nikon also lies outside the walls – a monument to the earliest period in the life of the cloister. The hermitage stands three hundred yards to the north-west of the monastery, on a small island surrounded by artificial anabranches of the River Istra. An inventory of 1679 describes the skete: “Behind the monastery is a church on an islet, which is known as the hermitage in which the former patriarch Nikon prayed during Lent.”

Conceived as the patriarch’s place of personal prayer, the skete originally consisted of a small two-storey building with a porch to the west and a tiny chapel to the east. The smooth walls had irregularly arranged windows, with modest frames of engaged columns and triangular pediments around the upper ones.

Twonew floors were added in the early 1660s. The third storey contained the patriarch’s cell, an audience chamber and the Church of the Epiphany with a refectory. The facades were decorated with tiled girdles and tiled window frames.

The skete began to resemble a pyrgos (Greek: tower) on Mount Athos, where such tiered constructions acted as a place of monastic solitude. The similarity is even more pronounced at the top of the building. The flat roof accommodates the octagonal Church of St Peter and St Paul (which looks like a cupola), a miniature belfry and a tiny cell with a stone seat. The interiors had ceramic floors and tiled stoves.

The history and the original appearance of the skete of Patriarch Nikon have been slowly restored. Such work has been


going on for several decades now, following another tragic chapter in the life of the monastery.

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, New Jerusalem enjoyed a more or less happy fate. Although the monastery lost its vast holdings of land and fourteen thousand serfs as a result of the act of secularisation in 1764, it still remained one of the country’s main places of pilgrimage. The imperial family made constant endowments, while the monastery itself was an important cultural centre.

The New Jerusalem library attracted the interest of scholars and many books were acquired by the Holy Synod Library in the eighteenth century. In 1875, archimandrite Amphilochius published a description of almost four hundred manuscripts and books dating from the eleventh to the seventeenth centuries. In 1907, most of theremaining collection was transferred to the Holy Synod Library. Interest in the history of the cloister led to the foundation of a museum under archimandrite Leonid in the 1870s.

Although the Monastery of the Resurrection was closed down in 1919, this did not lead to the destruction of its cultural valuables. In 1920, a museum of history and art was opened at the cloister, becoming a state institution in 1922 and a regional museum of local studies in 1935.

The real catastrophe came later, during the Second World War. In 1941, the invading German army advanced as far as the River Istra and occupied the monastery. When forced to retreat, the SS Das Reich Panzer Division blew up the rotunda, the Church of the Cross, the belltower of the Cathedral


of the Resurrection, the towers, the refectory and the gateway Church of the Entry into Jerusalem. All the museum exhibits were destroyed. The only objects to survive were part of the contents of the sacristy and works of art that had been evacuated back in 1941.

An ambitious programme of restoration work has restored much of the ensemble to its former glory. The only structure that has not been rebuilt is one of the most important verticals – the belltower of the Cathedral of the Resurrection. Over the years, a new museum collection has been slowly put together. In the 1970s, an open-air museum of architecture and ethnography was created to the west of the monastery.

The Monastery of the Resurrection has recently reopened as a functioning cloister holding regularchurch services. Art, nature and spirituality are gradually turning the clock back three and a half centuries, when New Jerusalem was a unique fusion of national and international culture.

The restoration of the Cathedral of the Resurrection started in 1982. Between 1983 and 1993, a new tented roof was created, while the arduous task of decorating the interior also began. The monks returned to the cloister in 1994. The following year, the Cathedral of the Resurrection, the Church of the Nativity of Christ, the Skete of Patriarch Nikon and the eastern dorter were returned to the Russian Orthodox Church.

In 2007, Russian president Vladimir Putin attended Christmas Mass at New Jerusalem and showed a keen interest in the course of restoration work on the cathedral. On 23 July 2008, the


monastery was visited by Patriarch Alexius II and the new president Dmitry Medvedev. Following their visit, a charity foundation for the restoration of the Monastery of the Resurrection was opened. The foundation has launched a programme for the recreation, upkeep and development of the historical ensemble right up until 2016.Three women have accused the 30-year-old British actor of raping or sexually assaulting them in 2014

According to appellants, whose statement is uncontradicted by respondents, on August 9, 1988, Martha fell backwards, landing at the bottom of the stairs, her foot wedged in a gap between the side of the building and the edge of the stairs. Comatose and bleeding, she was taken to Mission Hospital and admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) where she was treated for multiple skull fractures. Due to complications, she underwent partial amputation of her left thumb, index and middle fingers. A month after the accident, a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (insertion of a feeding tube in the stomach) was performed. The following month, a lumbo-peritoneal shunt was inserted in her spine for draining fluids. Martha remained in a coma. A tracheotomy tube


inserted at the time of the accident was not removed for two and one-half months. Released from Mission Hospital after 107 days in the ICU, Martha was transferred to the Rehabilitation Institute of Santa Barbara, where she underwent a course of treatment and therapy until, after eight months, the Ruoffs were no longer able to pay for the institutional care.

PEEBLES, Ohio --A four-day-old newborn, a six-month-old baby and a three-year-old child survived aseries of shootings that left eight members of the same family dead in four southern Ohio homes, officials said at a press conference Friday.

All of the victims had been shot in the head in execution-style killings, some while in their beds, according to Ohio attorney general Mike DeWine. None of them had committed suicide, according to DeWine, and authorities cautioned that there may be a shooter or shooters on the loose who should be considered armed and "extremely dangerous."

Reader described the four active crimes scenes as "horrific," and DeWine called the shootings "heartbreaking."

"I think what makes this particularly grisly is the fact that you have these children involved who were obviously there when the executions took place," DeWine said.

The shootings had apparently happened in the overnight hours, DeWine said. The four-day-old infant, he said, was nearby as the mother, one of the victims, was fatally shot in her bed, he said.

Reader identified the deceased as members of the Rhoden family. He said that authorities were first


alerted to the shootings just before 8 a.m. when Pike County dispatchers received a 911 call reporting two men were possibly dead at a home at 4077 Union Hill Road in Peebles. As officers responded, they were flagged down and alerted to two more crime scenes also on Union Hill Road - 4199 and 3122, Reader said. Authorities said two of the homes were in short walking distance, and the third was about a mile away.

Seven people were found slain in the three homes. Reader said he contacted the attorney general's office and asked the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation to lead the investigation because of the multiple crime scenes.

Later in the day, authorities received another 911 call alerting them to another possibly deceased man at a hometheir location," DeWine said. "We would advise the people of Pike County not to panic, but certainly to be careful."

Authorities would not say whether they've recovered a weapon.

Thousands flooded social media expressing shock over the shootings and condolences to the family. Ohio governor John Kasich, currently campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination, said in a tweet that the shootings were "tragic beyond comprehension."

A dozen Bureau of Criminal Investigation agents were called Friday morning to Pike County, an economically struggling area in the Appalachian region some 80 miles east of Cincinnati. The FBI in Cincinnati also said it was closely monitoring the situation and has offered assistance to the Pike County sheriff's office if needed.

Peebles High School imposed a precautionary lockout Friday morning after authorities notified the superintendent of


shootings that had occurred a few miles away, according to Regina Bennington, secretary to the superintendent for the Adams County Ohio Valley Schools district. High school officials said the school was back to normal operations later Friday morning.

Goldie Hilderbran, 65, said she lives about a mile from where she has been told the shootings took place. "I first heard about it this morning from our mail carrier," Hilderbran said.

Hilderbran said the mail carrier told her deputies had stopped her from delivering mail in the area they had blocked off.

"She just told me she knew something really bad has happened," Hilderbran said.

Chitungwiza residents and ZETDC interface meeting

CHITREST in collaboration with the Media Institute for Southern Africa (MISA) Zimbabwe held a community dialogue meeting on the 4th of August 2017 at Young Africa Skills Centre. The meeting which was attended by an official from the Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) started at 1000 and ended at 1300 hours. The aim of the meeting was to discuss matters affecting electricity distribution in Chitungwiza and other issues which needed clarification such as procedures taken to have electricity connection at new properties as well as load shedding schedules.

The participants consisted of 25 females and 28 males. Mr G. Chingosho from ZETDC Chitungwiza addressed the residents of Chitungwiza about the challenges of load shedding stating that the demand of electricity is excessivein the usage of electricity.

Finally, the participants agreed that ZETDC should attend to clients in time and the residents were urged to use formal ZETDC structures so as to reduce corruption in service delivery on electricity distribution in Chitungwiza.

The Chitungwiza Residents Trust (Chitrest) applauded ZETDC for being one of the few parastatals who have a feedback mechanism that is responsive to the needs of the people. Chitrest wrote a letter seeking clarification on infrastructure maintenance and repair procedures to ZETDC on the 15th of June 2017 and within a month, on the 14th of July 2017, a response was received by Chitrest.

The Chitrest in partnership with ZETDC is running a WhatsApp group as a way of facilitating easy communication between the service provider and the residents through this


social media platform aimed at creating a channel for reporting faults and improving electricity distribution in Chitungwiza.

Officials from Chitrest ended by pledging to facilitate the continuous hosting of similar residents and service providers interface meetings with a view of contributing towards the improvement of social service delivery in Chitungwiza and Manyame rural.

On 27 May 2017, the Chitungwiza Residents’ Trust (CHITREST) in partnership with MISA-Zimbabwe held an Access to Information (ATI) meeting with Chitungwiza residents focusing on the need to have efficient and effective service provision by the Zimbabwe Electricty Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC). The meeting was a follow up on the previous engagements that ZETDC had with Chitrest.Advertising Read more

Kabul (AFP)

A suicide attacker on foot blew himself up near a compound belonging to the Afghan intelligence agency in Kabul on Monday, killing six civilians, officials said.

The attacker struck at a time when workers were arriving at their offices. It comes a week after militants stormed a National Directorate of Security (NDS) training centre in the Afghan capital.

Interior ministry spokesman Najib Danish told AFP six civilians in a car were killed when the attacker detonated himself.

"Six people were martyred and three others were wounded," Danish said.

"They were hit when they were passing the area in their Toyota sedan vehicle. We still do not know the target of the attack but it happened on the main road."

A road system which adopts such a car pool lane provides users with a preferential treatment that makes it possible to arrive at the destination in a shorter time as long as they travel along a car pool lane so as to prod users to share a vehicle with one or more persons, thereby reducing the traffic as a whole and therefore reducing traffic congestions.
As a technology relevant to such a car pool lane, patent reference 1 discloses


This invention relates to an audio apparatus such as a radio or the like mounted on a vehicle such as a motorcar, a motorcycle, or the like.
The use of such an audio apparatus mounted on a vehicle becomes increasingly difficult with the increase in speed due to driving noises. Because driving noises, which are partially composed of wind noise, increase as the vehicle speed increases the sound volume of an audio apparatus previously set, at the time of a lower vehicle speed is overcome by the driving noises, if the sound volume adjusting knob of the audio apparatus is not adjusted. Accordingly, the sound volume is increased by adjusting the volume knob of the audio apparatus by the operator, but this is inconvenient because the manual adjustment musttray. Filter medium is positioned in the filter medium receiving chamber. In a first embodiment, the bottom surfaces of the top and bottom trays are perforated. In a second embodiment, the bottom of the top tray and the inner wall of the bottom tray are perforated. In either embodiment, water flowing into the filter is distributed around the top trough, passed through the perforated surface of the top tray, the filter medium, the perforated surface of the bottom tray, and into the runoff drain. Hydrocarbons and other contaminants are filtered by the filter medium. Large particles and debris are collected in the trough of the top tray. The filter may be cleaned by lifting out the top tray, shaking out the debris, and replacing it in the bottom


in Lugo takes over much of the centre of town.

Lugo is a town in Emelia Romagna, between Bologna and Ravenna. The dominant landmark in the centre of the town is the Rocca Estense, which now houses the Town Hall. Its dungeon of Uguccione della Faggiola dates from 1298, while most of the architectural features are from 16th century.

Another prominent structure in Lugo is the monument to Francesco Baracca (1936), an aviator hero of WWI.

The Paviglione lies opposite the fortress and beside Francesco Baracca. It was built in the 18th century. It is an imposing square surrounded by loggias on its four sides.

I Love Italian Wine and Food - Launching a Series

Let's start with a few statistics. Italy constantly fights with France for the title of the world's biggest wine producer. Italy ranks number 3 in per capita wine consumption. As in many other European countries, Italians are drinking less wine, but better wine. Italy exports about 10% of its wine production to the United States. It is home to almost one million registered vineyards, and more than one thousand grape varieties, the majority of which are found nowhere else on earth.

Italy is the king of microclimates: 40% of its territory is mountainous and another 40% is hilly. Such territory can often be ideal for vineyards, even if of little value for other agricultural products. The country is surrounded


by five bodies of water; the Ligurian Sea in the northwest, the Tyrrhenian Seas in the southwest, the Ionian Sea and the Mediterranean Sea in the south, and the Adriatic Sea in the east. All these geographical factors mean that vineyards a few kilometers apart may yield vastly different wines.

Did you know that Italy is divided into twenty regions? Each and every one produces wine, its own distinctive style or usually styles of wine that accompany its regional food specialties. Almost all regions produce wine for export to North America. Of course some regions are doing better than others, but in many cases regions that were once known for their bland, and perhaps baked wines, have turned the corner and are now making some excellent wines. Because thepublic is not yet generally aware of these wine-making regions, there are still bargains to be had. Keep posted, I'll be making specific recommendations.

Italy can be divided into three major sections: Northern Italy, sharing a border with four European countries (France, Switzerland, Austria, and Slovenia), Central Italy, and the South, traditionally the poorest part of Italy.

Northern Italy is composed of eight regions: The Aosta Valley, Piedmont (whose capital is Turin), Lombardy (whose capital is Milan), Trentino-Alto Adige, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, The Veneto (whose capital is Venice), Emilia-Romagna, and Liguria (whose capital is Genoa). Because wines from the first and last of these regions are quite difficult to find in North America, we are planning articles on only six of these regions.

Central Italy is composed of six regions: Tuscany (whose

with 20%. Far left candidate Jean Luc Melenchon took 11.5 % and centrist Francois Byrou 8.5%, the Ipso polling agency said..."

Jean-Luc Melenchon reaps the rewards of a successful campaign, even if his score can be considered disappointing in terms of polls before the election. It is very far from the third place he was approaching. He immediately called to beat the incumbent. "Our people seem determined to turn the page of the Nicolas Sarkozy years," he said.

The race for third place, meanwhile, seemed to presage a second round that would be tighter than many opinion polls before the vote had suggested. Marine Le Pen of the far-right National Front finished with an estimated 19.9 percent, above most recent polls and well ahead of Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the candidate ofthe far-left Front de Gauche, who fared far worse than expected with about 11 percent.

Polling agencies gave slightly different early figures, but the same finishing order for the top four candidates.

Voter turnout was about 80 percent of the 44.5 million registered voters, down from the 84 percent who participated in the last presidential ballot five years ago, which was the highest turnout since 1974.

Indeed, Lepenistes are more of a populist free-for-all akin to, I suppose, certain aspects of Ford Nation in Toronto.

And also like Ford Nation (which may explain the higher vote this time), I believe that Marine's been more assiduous than her father in assembling a modernized "grand coalition" on her behalf--including, I guess, a bit of an "anti-immigrant immigrant" demographic around the edges...

I found myself wondering


if there was any chance at all that Sarkozy's supporters would have cast "anti-fascist" votes for Hollande if, as could have happened, Ms. Le Pen had made it into the runoff and Sarko had fallen to third(as the Left cast such votes for Chirac against Le Pen's father fourteen years ago).

I'm guessing that, rather than that, the French and American MSM would have suddenly run tons of puff pieces about "the NEW Le Pen"(transforming her into the 1968 Nixon of French politics).

And it was predictable, yet still sickening, that the MSM kept pushing the "Melenchon and Le Pen are BOTH 'Extremists' " meme, as if fighting for the 1981 Common Program of the French Left was no different at all from demonizing immigrants, Muslims(and, covertly yet just barelya foreign policy that was even MORE obsessed with fighting the Soviet Union than Reagan's was.

For the first time in more than 30 years, a new French political force - not only to the left of the Socialists, but also unafraid to assert itself as an alternative to them - scored double figures in a presidential election: 11.1%, climbing to 16% in large cities. This achievement of the Front de Gauche (Left Front) represents the most recent and the strongest success of the "other left" in Europe.

After too many years of fragmentation, the Front de Gauche has managed to unify the leftist forces that advocate social and environmental transformation. Now we must make sure that Nicolas Sarkozy is ousted from the Elysée with a crushing defeat in the


France 2 television.

"The outgoing president had said that he would be judged on unemployment, and he will be. He promised to cut unemployment to 5 percent and it is at 10."

"..Every candidate except Sarkozy, the self-styled centrist Bayrou and the Green candidate Eva Joly singled out the world of finance as the main adversary. Hollande did so quite explicitly in his main campaign speech, although shortly afterwards he watered his wine considerably during a visit to London, the City oblige.

This hostility towards banks has horrified Anglo-American commentators, from the Economist to John Vinocur of the International Herald Tribune, for whom realism consists in docile obedience to the demands of 'the markets'. Acting uppity toward finance capital is close to insanity. If 'the right' is defined first of allby subservience to finance capital, [all Canadian pols!] then aside from Sarkozy, Bayrou and perhaps Joly, all the other candidates were basically on the Left. And all of them except Sarkozy would be considered far to the left of any leading politician in the United States.

This applies notably to Marine Le Pen, whose social program was designed to win working class and youth votes. Marine Le Pen condemns the euro as a failure which has wrecked European economies and is doomed to disappear..."

A new troglobiotic species of Hyalella (Crustacea, Amphipoda, Hyalellidae) with a taxonomic key for the Brazilian species.
The freshwater crustaceans from the order Amphipoda occur mainly in cold and temperate climates. However, in the tropics, these animals can be more abundant in subterranean environments, where the temperatures are milder than in surface. Despite being accepted that the number of species of freshwater amphipods in South America is lower when compared to other regions, recent descriptions have shown that its diversity is certainly underestimated. In this study, a new species of the genus Hyalella is described for Brazil, the fourth troglobiotic species of Hyalella for the country and the sixth in the world. The new species was found on the epikarst of a cave in São Paulo state, Southeastern Brazil.Some 100,000 soldiers fought in the April 1862 battle of Shiloh, and nearly 20,000 men were killed or wounded; more Americans died on that Tennessee battlefield than had died in all the nation's previous wars combined. In the first book in his new series, Steven E. Woodworth has brought together a group of superb historians to reassess this significant battle and provide in-depth analyses of key aspects of the campaign and its aftermath.


siloxane bond (Sixe2x80x94Oxe2x80x94Si) and the Sixe2x80x94R bond is incorporated into the silicon-containing insulating film. Since the Sixe2x80x94O bond in the film is not connected with the substrate where the R (alkyl group) is present, the dielectric constant at those positions is lowered compared to the remainder. Therefore, the dielectric constant of the overall film can also be lowered, and thus the silicon-containing insulating film having a low dielectric constant can be formed.
Also, since H2 in the reaction gas bonds to C (carbon) in the film to generate an R group (alkyl) such as CH3, etc., the number of Sixe2x80x94C bonds or Cxe2x80x94C bonds in the film can be reduced. Because the Sixe2x80x94C bonds or the Cxe2x80x94C bonds reduce the etching workability of the film, the silicon-containing insulating filmformed as above has improved etching workability.
In addition, the dielectric constant of the silicon-containing insulating film is further lowered by the presence of the R group (alkyl) that is generated by the reaction of H2 in the reaction gas and C (carbon) in the film. That is, since the Sixe2x80x94C bonds in the film are occupied by these R groups (alkyl), the dielectric constant of the film can be lowered.
Also, the R group (alkyl) generated by the reaction of H2 in the reaction gas and C (carbon) in the film tends to remain in the film even when the film forming temperature is relatively high. As a result, even if the film forming temperature is set high, the silicon-containing insulating film having a low dielectric constant can be

Associated Press, November 26, 2005

Bangkok, Thailand -- Thailand's Paradorn Srichaphan, Asia's top-ranked tennis player, on Saturday swapped his racket for an alms bowl as he started a seven-day period as a Buddhist monk, local newspapers reported.

"I will spend the next seven days as a monk, especially meditating, which is something I can make use of when I return to tennis," Paradorn was quoted saying by The Nation newspaper.

Paradorn has adopted the Buddhist name "Mahaviro" which means "great and brave" for his stint as a monk. In a traditional preordination ceremony on Friday, Paradorn had his head shaved prior to donning the monk's saffron-colored robes. He will serve in a temple outside the Thai capital Bangkok.

It is customary for Thai men to serve in


the monkhood for at least one period in their lives as a way of showing their religious devotion.

Paradorn, currently ranked No. 43 in the world, has been struggling on the court recently. He's been in two finals but still hasn't won a title this year.Chicken Clearing Throat/Small Sneezes

I have a 8 month old Easter Egger that started acting oddly. Seven days ago she was in the coop and would stick her neck out and open her month similar to a fish out of water. When she would cluck it sounded a little hoarse. I isolated her gave her Braggs and Rooster Booster for two days. She seemed fine so I put her back in the coop/run and she immediately started acting like she was clearing her throat or having tiny sneezes. No exaggerated head movements but a little jerk and quiet kazoo type sound. She's back in isolation with no improvement. I am continuing with Braggs and Rooster Booster. On day 5, I started messaging her crop and gave her some bread


was carried on "lay-off status", and that petitioner was so notified. Petitioner, however, says that she was told in February, 1977, that her leave might have to be continued because lay-offs had already occurred, and that she was further informed in August, 1977, by respondents that "policy" required that she not be recalled from her leave of absence until all laid-off teachers were first recalled. During the *482 school years 1977-1978 and 1978-1979, petitioner did not teach.
On August 21, 1979, respondent school board wrote to petitioner, informing her that it had decided to recall her to active teaching for the 1979-1980 school year. Included with the letter was a copy of the teachers' tenure act.
On January 5, 1980, counsel for petitioner sent letters to respondent school board andand moved for leave to amend her petition to allege that respondents had placed petitioner on "lay-off" status when they decided to recall her as a subterfuge to mask their denial of her rights under the teachers' tenure act.
On October 16, 1980, the commission granted respondents' motion and dismissed the petition, deciding the commission was without jurisdiction because petitioner had not filed her petition within the 30 days required by the teachers' tenure act. *483 The commission decided that respondent school board's letter of August 21, 1979, enclosing as it did a copy of the teachers' tenure act, comprised notice reasonably calculated to apprise petitioner of her statutory rights, and that respondent school board was not required to "inform the teacher of pertinent judicial interpretations of the act


as well".
Petitioner's motion for rehearing was denied by the commission on April 10, 1981. She then petitioned the Ingham County Circuit Court for review of the commission's decision. On May 7, 1982, the circuit court reversed and remanded the case to the commission for a hearing on the merits, finding that respondents' letter of August 21, 1979, did not adequately inform petitioner of her statutory right to appeal to the commission. The court concluded that requiring respondents to inform petitioner that she had a right to appeal any of the school board's previous decisions so long as she did so within 30 days of receipt of that letter was not an excessive burden to place on respondents and was necessary in order for petitioner to fully understand herAbbyson Celebrates 30th Anniversary at 2019 Spring High Point Market

a strong and dictatorial leader does not clamp down on them. There is one large fault in this happy vision: the attempted genocide of the Armenians begun under full Ottoman power in 1895 and nearly completed as the empire was falling apart during World War One.

The millet system of governance should be of interest to libertarians who generally wish for less government, less expensive government, more responsive government and, especially, less intrusive government. Under the millet system, at least when it was fully functional, the Ottoman governor of say, the province of the empire that now encompasses Lebanon and Western Syria would summon yearly the Patriarch of the Greek Orthodox Church. He would address him as follows:

“Your Eminence is well I trust, and his family, and I hopebad things will happen to your community.” Or, he did not even need to utter the words. Everyone knew about the bad things that would happen if disorder arose. Some of these bad things were community leaders’ heads on a spike in village centers.

The Ottoman Empire that relied on the light, non-invasive, decentralized millet system was also famous for the fierceness of its repression. And this haven of diversity disintegrated swiftly throughout the 19th century with a speed that must give pause.

The unraveling of the Ottoman Empire began around 1805 when the large and important Egyptian subdivision gained all but nominal independence through an armed revolt and even waged successful war on the Empire. During the rest of the 19th century, the areas of the Empire now comprising
