this addition."

When completed, the Cumberland Trail will extend more than 300 miles from its northern terminus in Cumberland Gap National Historical Park to its southern terminus at the Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park just outside Chattanooga.

"The Cumberland Trail is an example of what makes Tennessee such an international attraction," said Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton, whose district includes Cumberland, Van Buren and Putnam counties. "This acquisition will be an outstanding addition to link our Cumberland trails and foster an extensive trail system that promotes hiking while also preserving our valuable natural resources."

The state's purchase of Lone Star was possible with the state's Land Acquisition Fund, the National Park Service's State and Local Assistance Program which is funded by the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, and theTennesseans," Blackburn said. "This is an excellent example of what can be done when state and federal officials work together. It's a tribute to the commitment of everyone who worked on this project to add this land to the Tennessee State Parks system."

The Cumberland Trail's scenic footpath follows a line of high ridges and deep gorges along or near the rugged, eastern edge of Tennessee's Cumberland Plateau. The trail offers a unique wilderness experience and many scenic views, including waterfalls, landscapes, gorges, wildlife, and diverse flora.

The Justin P. Wilson Cumberland State Park became Tennessee's 53rd state park in 1998. It's the state's first "linear park," cutting through 11 counties and two time zones. The Cumberland Trail includes more than 31,500 acres and intersects three National Park Service areas,

Aryans of India - Earnest Sevier Cox

"In population the Caucasian race leads the world, with about 800,000,000 souls. Nearly 300,000,000 of these, however, are of the darker branches of the race and live in Asia, 220,000,000 of them being Aryans of India." (Senate Document No. 662, 61st Congress, 3rd Session, Reports of the Immigration Commission, 1911, under title of Dictionary of Races or Peoples.)

We have seen that mankind is divided into three great primary groups or races: black (Negro), yellow (Mongolian), and white (Caucasian). We have also seen that the Caucasian or white race is essentially migratory, and that its restless energy,combined with its superior cultural ability had, at an early period, led it from its primeval home into every continent. These age-long movements of the Caucasian had in pre-historic times given rise to extensive blood admixture with both black and yellow races, so much so that at the dawn of history there were numerous mixbreed Caucasic peoples fully constituted as "races," some by admixture with the Negro, others by admixture with the Mongolian.

Our immigration officials, in the main, classify the peoples coming to our shores according to the languages they speak. For instance, the Hebrew from Russia is classified as Slavic. On the basis of language, the American Negro, immigrating into another country, would be classified as Caucasian because he speaks a Caucasic language. Language, then, is not


complexion exhibits all shades of color, from the jet black to the blue-eyed blond! Is it that climate has selected the mass for racial slaughter and an infinitesimal few for racial preservation? We know that this is not true. Not climate, but the blood of colored races, is responsible for our "sun-burnt cousins." Not climate, but caste is responsible for the little purity that exists.

The briefest survey of the Aryan conquest of India will suffice to show that the white Aryan came into contact with a decayed civilization which was in its last stages as a result of the previous Caucasian conquerors of India having interbred with the aborigines. The breed which produced the earlier culture had become submerged in the black mass about them, and the new-comingAryan found that the "melting pot" had prepared India for an easy conquest. The Aryans, by reason of race and culture, came as aristocrats. Their numbers were but small when compared with the colored multitudes about them. They came slowly from their homeland in the northwest where, in spite of later mixtures with blacks and yellows, we yet find Afghans and Persians who are fundamentally Aryan.

While all the darker strains of India may not be traced to the influence of the blood of the Asiatic branch of the Negro race, which at an early time was widely distributed on the Asiatic mainland, and which now has many representatives in the islands south of the continent, yet blood of the Negro is evident in certain of the races of


India.

Speaking of the race types of India, Madison Grant says,

"The Aryanized Afghan and Hindu of northern India speak languages derived from Old Sanskrit and are closely related to the Mediterranean race. Aside from common dolichocephaly, these peoples are entirely distinct from the Dravidians of south India, whose speech is agglutinative and who show strong evidence of profound mixture with the ancient Negrito substratum of southern Asia. Everywhere throughout the Asiatic portion of its range the Mediterranean race overlies an even more ancient Negroid race. These Negroids still have representatives among the pre-Dravidians of India, the Veddah of Ceylon, the Sakai of the Malay Peninsula and the natives of the Andaman Islands." (The Passing of the Great Race, p. 148.)

The all but complete disappearance of the blood of thewhite civilizers of India is well expressed by the same authority, who says:

"The Hindu today speaks a very ancient form of the Aryan language, but there remains not one recognizable trace of the white conquerors who poured in through the passage of the Northwest. The boast of the modern Indian that he is of the same race as his English ruler is entirely without basis in fact, and the little swarthy native lives among the monuments of a departed grandeur, professing the religion and speaking the tongue of his long-forgotten Nordic conquerors, without the slightest claim to blood kinship. The dim and uncertain traces of Nordic blood in northern India only serve to emphasize the utter swamping of the white man in the burning South." (Ibid., p. 70)

Not


only were the eastern Aryans, before their amalgamation with other races, true representatives of the race type that has dominated civilization, but also it is from this branch of the race that we have received important arts and sciences, and to their ancient literature we are indebted for much that we know concerning the religious beliefs of our kindred, their social organization, their laws and race ideals.

The ancient literature of the Aryan is embodied in the Rig-Veda and the Epics. The Vedic times cover approximately the six hundred years intervening between 2000 B.C. and 1400 B.C. These writings afford us a fair conception of Aryan society and reveal a vigorous, white, conquering people, well organized, respecting their women, already in possession of ancient laws, glorying in agriculture, passionatelyreligious, imposing their faith and culture upon the surrounding colored populations to whom they refer in terms of contempt. Themselves they designate as a people of "fair complexion" and term those whom they have subdued "colored," and ridicule them, calling them monkeys; just as the Aryans four thousand years later have gone into Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas, have boasted of their white complexion and vigorous mentality, and have accredited the dark races of these lands with close relatedness to chimpanzee and gorilla.

Let us look backward over a span of forty centuries and get a glimpse of these white invaders of northern India. Their records tell us that they were of fair complexion, with straight, well-bridged noses. The latter feature, as well as the complexion, marked them


as a separate people and so impressed social ideals that, even to the present day, a man's social position varies in inverse ratio to the width of his nose:

"that is to say, the nasal index, as it is called, is a safe guide to the amount of Aryan, as distinguished from the aboriginal blood in his veins." (India Through the Ages, F. A. Steele, p. 6)

The tall, fair, high-nosed invader came as a conqueror, looked upon the mongrel and black multitudes as inferiors, and treated them as such. Of this treatment, however, we shall learn later.

Emerging from the hill country of Afghanistan and the slopes of the Hindu Kush, the Aryans (Nordics) took possession of that extremely desirable portion of India known as the Punjab. A glance atthe map will show that the Punjab is a well-watered northern province and that it comprises but a small proportion of the present Indian Empire. From the Punjab, these blond Caucasians extended their sway, imposing themselves by force and the influence of superior culture upon the mixbreeds, who infested the country in countless numbers then, as they do now. We may better understand the ease with which this was done by the first Aryan invaders of India, by reflecting upon the ease with which foreign control has been imposed by the last Aryan invaders of India, the English. The task of the first Aryan invaders should have been even less difficult; for their invasion was by land from an adjoining territory, while the English have dominated India from


afar, their line of communications consisting of a long and tortuous sea route. Both the first and last invasions were wrought by the hard-drinking, hard-fighting, military caste of Aryans; and both invasions maintained by prestige of race and culture rather than by constant appeal to arms.

When occupying the Punjab, the Aryans did not expel the mixbreed white-yellow-black populations whom they conquered (as yet the Aryans were not in contact with the blacks in the south of India). Throughout the history of their conquests, the Aryans have not expelled a subjugated people whom they could profitably enslave. Modern Aryans in North America did expel the red man, but they imported the black. The former would not work, the latter could be made to work. If we, from the vantageother races, their civilization has been most permanent. Of the Nordic tribes who, between the fourth and sixth centuries of our era, overran South Europe, those that became isolated and finally lost by amalgamation with their subjects, rapidly declined as cultural factors; while those who replaced conquered peoples have led in civilization. Franks, Lombards and Saxons retained race and cultural capacity. The Aryan conquerors of South America, to a great extent, have amalgamated with colored subjects. The settlers of North America segregated the colored race they found in possession of the land and have established a form of caste to prevent blood admixture with the colored race which they inducted into their midst.

Caste will not perpetuate the civilization of the whites who dwell with colored races, but it


of the purest Aryan descent, while the last was made up mainly of the subjugated mixbreeds with whom the Aryan was in immediate contact. The heart of caste was not vocation, as at present, but endogamy (marriage within the caste). There were large groups of the subjugated population whom the Aryan did not honor with caste. These were referred to collectively as outcasts, recognized as barely human.

We see, then, a white people dwelling among a colored, who greatly outnumber them, and attempting to remain white by the institution of laws forbidding interracial marriage.

"Our first glimpse of India discloses two races struggling for the soil, the Dravidians, a dark skinned race of aborigines, and the Aryans, a fair-skinned people. Descending from the northwest passages. (Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th ed., article"India.")

Keane, in his Ethnology, says:

"As a rule, the Anglo-Saxon and British Aryan, who are by far the most numerous and widespread out of Europe, do not amalgamate with the aborigines." (Ethnology, p. 410)

This author is comparing the Saxon Aryan with Spanish, French and Portuguese "Aryans," who readily mix with colored races. But Saxon resistance to intermixture is relative only. The Saxon mixes with other races in every land where there is race contact. This mixing is slow, but the end will be the same. The same authority, on another page, himself affirms that the end of all race contact is amalgamation of races.

The Anglo-Saxon of the United States, like his early kinsmen in India, will retain comparative purity for many generations. Like his ancient relatives, he invokes law


There, as here it was the illegitimate mixbreed who threatened the purity of the white race.

There has ever been a deplorable freedom between the white and non-white races which has resulted in an increasing number of mixbreeds. In India, caste prevented interracial marriage, but was incapable of preventing illegitimate unions. The Aryans, intent upon retaining race purity, yet unable to restrain men of their race from unions with colored women, and, in most instances unable to discover the guilty white, turned with a terrible wrath upon the helpless mixbreed. The half-castes were not permitted to reside within the limits of the city: were reviled by all, both black and white; and finally, the Aryan laws provided that, under certain conditions, the soldiers might slay them without mercy. Itis evident that such extreme measures would not be permanently enforced, most of all by men of the Aryan race, whose history is general marked by tolerance to races and creeds. In spite of legal restrictions, the mixbreeds increased. Caste prolonged race purity but did not preserve it. The modern "Aryan" in India is just such a mixture as the ancient Aryan was authorized to kill.

Of the "220,000,000" so-called Aryans of India it is not likely that one-tenth of one per cent are whites of the Aryan race.

"Even the haughty Rajputs, formerly of the Kshatria (military) caste, have long lost their racial purity, and are now largely intermingled with Bhils and other primitive non-Aryans" (Keane).

"Men who call themselves Hindoos still exist, Sanskrit derivatives are still spoken, but the


which were implanted by a breed and declined with the breed which implanted them. There was gradual submergence of the creative breeds into the non-creative which, in all instances, were more numerous.

Let us look to the high state from which the Aryans of India fell and we may appreciate the loss to civilization. It was only about a century ago that the Western World began to realize the riches of the Sanskrit literature and the ancient glory of the Hindus. When the ancient treasures of the whites of India were translated, Europeans were struck with amazement to learn that their own language was that of the civilizers of India, and that the civilizers of India were a white people with a culture so deep and varied, and ofsuch ancient origin, as to suggest that India was the home of the Aryan peoples, and that Western arts and creeds had been derived from Asia. We know now that the Aryans of India, like those of modern America and Australia, were conquering invaders, and that, like those of America and Australia, they carried their culture with them and imposed it upon colored races.

Hindu history reveals that it was the early invaders, not their mongrel offspring, who displayed affinity in ideals, race, and culture to the Europeans of the days preceding steam and electricity. However alien the Saxon student may feel when pouring over Egyptian and Assyrian records, he has consciousness of kinship with these tall, high-nosed, aggressive warriors, priests, and people, who emerge from obscurity upon the


banks of the Indus, spread gradually to domination of the great Indian peninsula, carry their culture at a later date to Ceylon and Cambodia, and, after centuries of effort to retain race purity, gradually subside into the mongrel mass.

[...]

Let us quote well-recognized authority which shall serve to heighten our estimate of the culture of the conquerors of the Punjab.

"The Aryan tribes of the Veda are acquainted with most of the metals. They have blacksmiths, coppersmiths and goldsmiths among them, besides carpenters, barbers and other artisans. They fight from chariots and freely use the horse, though not yet the elephant, in war. They have settled down as husbandmen, till the fields with the plough, and live in villages and towns. They have learned to build 'ships' (river boats) …in the highly sensitive Aryans' dealing with the hapless elements of his own race, though perhaps not so much as in his dealing with other races. At the time of the removal of the American Indians from east of the Mississippi to their present locations, there were many Americans who opposed the measure as extremely cruel, although the retention of the Indians in their original homes would have resulted in their absorption by the Saxon settlers and a consequent lowering of Saxon capacity. The opponents of removal would have made mixbreeds of the Caucasian to avoid offense to the Indian.

A critical study of race contact will prove that, however reprehensible are the few sub-normal whites who are content that their offspring by colored paramours be consigned to an


color line in practice and the super-normal whites who oppose the color line in theory.

Religion, that mighty agency in mongrelizing the Caucasian, with its caste-eliminating, race-equalizing tenets, has been seized upon in all lands by the super-normal whites in their efforts to abolish the color line. The "melting pot" in India was not full until there arose a religion attempting to offset the Hindu religion which gave its sanction to caste to preserve the Caucasian. Hinduism taught the colored that caste was founded upon the will of God. Its purpose was to keep the races apart. When the illegitimate mixbreeds in India twenty-five centuries ago had increased until they were more numerous than the whites, there arose Gautama Buddha, an aristocratic mixbreed with yellow blood predominating, who strippedHinduism (Brahmanism) of caste and sought a religious reformation that would level the races of India. India was ripe, the colored world was ripe and anxious for such a theory. The success of Buddhism knew no bounds. It was popular! Why not? The teachings of its founder gave to the mongrel a position in human society that evolution had denied him in nature. It bridged an impassable chasm with an assumption.

We leave India, having seen that every social agency of the Aryan devised to preserve race and civilization had failed; and that every social agency observable in the modern Aryan's color problems was used in India to promote amalgamation, and succeeded. The Aryan conquerors of India utilized every remedial measure but one; they did not attempt geographical separation

YouTube musician Mike Lombardo -- a Berklee College of Music grad whose piano rock ballads and tutorials earned him 200,000 subscribers -- has been arrested by the FBI for encouraging minors to send him explicit photos and videos of themselves masturbating.

FBI Agent Alix Skelton said the investigation began after a complaint alleged Lombardo was planning to have sex with a 15-year-old girl in December 2011. The FBI spoke to two other girls, both 17, who told agents that they had exchanged sexually explicit photos and videos with Lombardo.

"All three victims advised that they 'met' Lombardo online because they were fans of his music," Skelton wrote.

According to Skelton, one victim was 14 "when she began sending nude images and videos of herself to Lombardo via Skype." Skelton said theteen said that Lombardo asked her if she "liked taking orders" and would ask the girl to "strip until she was completely nude." Once she was naked, Lombardo would allegedly direct the child to masturbate.

Lombardo has been charged on four different counts. If convicted, he could spend anywhere from five to 100 years in prison.

The revised work plan suggested (A) an investigation of the status of developing a rapid test for T. Gondii at slaughter plants and (B) a literature review to assess the toxoplasma situation in the United States. (Id. 46-48.)
After Dr. Parham asked for an update on the toxoplasmosis project, Chowdhury told Dr. Parham that he thought her request for a thinking paper had replaced the toxoplasmosis project. (Id. 50.) As a result of this apparent misunderstanding, the two references in four paragraphs to toxoplasmosis in the Thinking Paper reflected the only literatureof the agreement." (Id.)

E. Unsatisfactory Rating after PIP
On February 8, 2006, Chowdhury received his final evaluation for July 1, 2004 to June, 30, 2005; the rating was unsuccessful. (Def. Statement of Material Facts ¶ 43.) By memorandum dated February 8, 2006, Dr. Parham advised plaintiff that his performance rating remained at the unsuccessful level because he had failed to complete the PIP successfully. (Id.) It was determined that Chowdhury had submitted an acceptable final product for the assignment to compile a bimonthly report on zoonotic and emerging diseases, but that the Toxoplasmosis and Samonella Serotypes papers did not meet the fully successful level for the three applicable performance standards. (Id. ¶¶ 44-47.) As a result, Chowdhury received notice of proposed removal because of unacceptable performance on May 22,


2006. (Id. ¶ 50.) Following this, the Department of Agriculture terminated Chowdhury's employment because it found that at least one critical element of Chowdhury's performance was deficient, and he failed to improve his performance after being given reasonable opportunity to do so.

On June 8, 2006, Dr. Thaler saw a report which had been prepared by Chowdhury during her absence, and which has been sent outside of the branch. (Def. Statement of Material Facts ¶ 55.) After reviewing the report, Dr. Thaler found what she believed to be inaccuracies and misleading information in the report, revised it and resubmitted it to Dr. Holt. (Id.) Because of the problems in the way in which the report had been handled, Dr. Thaler sent an e-mail toto complete a peer review article.

A tourist has captured a beachside photo bearing a striking resemblance to the outline of Australia.

Kelly Matthews took the sunset image looking between branches and leaves on Darwin Esplanade in the Northern Territory.

The emergency services phone operator travelled to Darwin from Western Australia for a wedding.

"I put it on Facebook and straight away all my friends said 'that looks like a map of Australia'," she told the BBC.

An Award-Winning Legacy

Often referred to as the "father of modern finance," Nobel laureate Gene Fama has had a well-known and widespread impact. From the start of his career to the many contributions he continues to make each day, Fama has influenced those around him in multiple ways.

We celebrate 50 years of Fama's achievements, including the 2013 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences, as well as the impressions he has made by sharing insights, leading by example, and by his dedication to the University of Chicago and Chicago Booth.

Below, you can find a collection of stories that, together, honor Gene Fama's legacy - representing the man, his work, and the impact he continues to have on the world at large.

Researcher

"I certainly believe that his research revolutionized the world of investing.respect and continues to seek answers to deep questions in finance. Moreover, he is able to separate his opinion of your work from his opinion of you. It is never personal - he is as demanding and critical of his own work as he is of others’ work. Also, somewhat unusual among academics of his stature, he readily confesses when he determines that some of his earlier ideas were wrong or misguided. Perhaps his time on the golf course has increased recently, but he maintains that has been more than offset by productivity gains in his research!"

"Gene has been my colleague for over 30 years, and I have learned much from him in a variety ways - he is a joy to talk to about economics and finance.


He has had a profound influence on many PhD students I've known by advising dissertations or serving on committees. Overall, Gene has set a phenomenal example for scholarship at the highest level for a long period of time. He is a truly unique scholar, role model, and intellectual leader of financial economics at the University of Chicago."

- Lars HansenDavid Rockefeller Distinguished Service Professor in Economics, Statistics, and the College

So when you’re a colleague of Gene Fama’s you learn a lot. Not just from what he says, but more from what he does.... This is a guy who despite his fame and all the publications he’s had, he still works harder than most people, he still loves the research and continues to write. He never stops, he never quits."

-usually do two students at a time in the seminar, but it turned out that nobody else was ready to present a paper, so I was alone with a 90-minute slot where I've only got 45 minutes of material. So in the seminar, Mert Miller sat on one side, with Gene on the other, and Mert really didn't like my paper at all. Then other people jumped in, and after 10 minutes I was just standing there with 80 minutes of seminar to go. Gene had his arms folded, a smile on his face, and there was this long silence. He looked around the seminar and says, 'Okay, you guys don’t like his idea, do you have a better one?' There was a pause, and then it was


to Chicago as a student knowing little about economics and financial economics. Gene was willing to spread his knowledge generously and with great excitement - he was so happy that others were learning. I think his students learned a tremendous amount from his classes and his interactions. And, he was - and still is - willing to take as much as he can from those with whom he interacts. Without Gene and Merton Miller, and other professors at Chicago, I would have never built the framework necessary for me to conduct my own research and grow as a researcher. That was wonderful."

"Being a student in his classroom was inspiring. When I walked into his class for the first time, I thought I knew a lot about finance sinceI had received my undergraduate degree in it. Within 10 minutes in his class, we had covered everything I knew about Finance and were onto new territory. It was a life-changing event to be in his class and listen to his clear and insightful thoughts about what was important in financial markets."

"I took his course in my first quarter as an MBA student, having come directly from a small liberal arts college where I’d never heard of Eugene Fama or finance as an academic discipline. I think I spent much of the course somewhere between overwhelmed and intrigued. My recollection of the class includes lively discussions that I rarely had the nerve to enter, figuring nobody but Gene came out of those looking very smart. I also remember


lugging around his book Foundations of Finance as a manuscript. Had my introduction to finance not been through Gene, I may well not have become a finance professor. He made the academic study of finance seductive. Whether as a classroom teacher, dissertation advisor, or faculty colleague, he was not only a valuable source of advice and feedback, but he was also a great teacher by example. He personally exemplified finance as an area unique within economics in allowing rich sources of data to nourish the interplay between theoretical and empirical research. "

- Robert Stambaugh Miller Anderson and Sherrerd Professor of Finance, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania

"Gene is extremely generous with his time to his students and colleagues but he expects them to be as dead serious about researchas he is."

- George Constantinides Leo Melamed Professor of Finance

"The impact Professor Fama has had on the way I think about markets, as well as the impact he has had on my career, is enormous. His class was awesome. I knew nothing about finance when I took his course on asset pricing (I learned what short-selling was from a footnote in his book). The idea of taking this famous class from a legend in the field was intimidating; however, Professor Fama built up all of the theory of modern finance from scratch. It was incredibly challenging, but you really didn’t need to know anything beyond basic math and statistics to understand what he was doing. I was part of a group of finance PhD students who went over


attitude toward research as a profession. I’m not too sure whether he knows this, but his influence on my life was enormous even before we ever met. He is one of the major reasons I came to Chicago as a graduate student in 1966 - I'd heard about the exciting things that he was doing. I arrived, took his classes with Merton Miller, and I observed that Gene was an ultimate professional. I also learned an enormous amount from Gene at the time about modeling share price behavior in terms of flow of information to the share market. It was novel at the time, and he was the person who pioneered that way of thinking. That had a very, very large impact on me, my career, and myresearch throughout my career. He was a remarkable role model in that sense."

"The Fama-Miller Center is named for Gene Fama and Merton Miller as the people who established the tone in finance at the University of Chicago Booth School, and Gene helped us with the development of the center. He also helped us when we were figuring out what activities the center should undertake, and whenever we talked to alumni about what the center would be about, Gene was a tremendous help in coming to talk and explain why the center was so important to research and finance here at Booth. So Gene has been a tremendous help in making the center great, and it’s a wonderful honor to have his name and Merton Miller’s name on the


after he received your working paper is unquestionably Gene. He eventually became my dissertation advisor, and I was a rookie professor who was slow to finish my dissertation. Gene spent some of his precious time chasing me down, ultimately reaching me at home in the Philadelphia suburbs while I was doing some yard work. My mother, visiting at the time, answered the call and evidently asked its purpose. She summoned me with, 'Someone from the University of Chicago is on the phone. He says he’s your dissertation chairman and wants to know why you haven’t finished it.' As I arrived at the phone, she added, 'I told him you’re working really hard on it.' Later, I joined the Chicago faculty. In that sense the relationship moved from mentorto colleague, but I still envision him more as the former these many years later. The biggest cost of my decision to leave Chicago has been not being around Gene."

"We could count citations of Gene’s published papers and come up with his greatest hits, but that misses the essence of Gene. Gene’s contributions transcend the ideas in those papers - he has a way of thinking and an approach to problems that are rare. He knows his data like no one else I have observed. Furthermore, by his actions and insights, Gene has had a phenomenal impact on developing young faculty - many of whom are here at Booth and others who have left

1 in 10 Americans, is affected by Rare Diseases. 30 million people in the United States alone, and 300 million people globally.

 Characteristics of rare diseases

Over 7,000 distinct rare diseases exist and approximately 80 percent are caused by faulty genes. The National Institute of Health estimates that 50% of people affected by rare diseases are children, making rare diseases one of the most deadly and debilitating for children worldwide. Relatively common symptoms can hide underlying rare diseases leading to misdiagnosis and delaying treatment.

Quintessentially disabling, the patients quality of life is affected by the lack or loss of autonomy due to the chronic, progressive, degenerative, and frequently life-threatening aspects of the disease. The fact that there are often no existing effective cures adds to the high levelhere carry Kavadis from Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple in Little India through the city center to Sri Thendayuthapani Temple on Tank Road. Police disallowed the use of music during processions to deter public disorder, which may be caused by rivalries between groups, and to “minimize the impact of the procession along the procession route”.

This has not sat well with local devotees. The annual Thaipusam procession is an important event in the Hindu calendar after all, and having prohibitions on what they can or cannot do might be dampening the spirits for what is meant to be a vibrant, colorful festival.

Following the riotous Thaipusam clash of 2015, the authorities moved to relax the rules after receiving feedback from the Hindu community. And if what Kanages posted is true, HEB

According to the indictment, in early 2009 Nguyen started tapping his various bank credit lines even though he was aware he could not make the required repayments.

In one instance, Nguyen collected $19,500 from a Bank of America line of credit April 21, 2009, the indictment says. He wrote a June 19, 2009, Sovereign Bank check to cover that charge, but the Sovereign account had insufficient funds, prosecutors said.

On June 27, 2009, he allegedly tapped a Citizens Bank account for a $6,000 credit charge at Kim Thanh Jewelry in Philadelphia and a $1,907 cash advance at Caesar's Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City.

Choosing to not disclose too much about the girl was also likely an effort to help protect the donation and its receiver.

The news of the philanthropic act was picked up by Binance’s CEO, CZ. He opined that the value of the educational opportunity presented to the young crypto recipient far outweighed the $3,600 (ish) donation as it is valued at the time of writing.

The 1 btc is nice, but I believe the invaluable part to her is the early education. Big impact in life! https://t.co/on2okkBUxU — CZ Binance ??? (@cz_binance) January 23, 2019

CZ is, of course, no stranger to philanthropy himself. The CEO elected to donate 100%


of new coin listing fees on his exchange to various concerns in October of last year, as well as setting up a charitable wing of his firm.

Certainly Not the First Crypto Philanthropy

For those readers who follow the digital currency space closely, the name CryptoPineapple might spark a memory of another recent act of kindness from a pseudonymous member of the cryptocurrency community. In December 2017, as a wild bout of speculative mania was just about to reach its devastating climax, The Pineapple fund project was set up.

The fund involved the giving of 5,057 BTC to over 60 different charities. Those in receipt of donations included organisations dedicated to conservation, human rights, and psychedelic drug therapy.

The Pineapple Fund was announced via a Reddit post on December 14, 2017. The         Engagement occurs with clinic-level personnel, medical center personnel, and regional policy-makers.

Ravi Agrawal is CNN's New Delhi Bureau chief. Follow him on Twitter: @RaviAgrawalCNN . The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.

New Delhi (CNN) India and the United States, the two largest democracies, seem like natural allies. The kinship between their leaders, however, has been a bit of a surprise.

There are, of course, the obvious perceptual differences: President Barack Obama studied law at Harvard, relishes golf and prefers his suits sober, in dark gray or navy blue. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a modest education, swears by yoga and readily wears flamboyant hats depicting India's diverse heritage.

And then there's the small matter of paperwork: Modi was a pariah in the United States just one year ago, his visa revoked over his handling of riotsin 2002, when he was chief minister of the state of Gujarat.

But what a difference a year — and a big electoral victory — makes.

What explains this unlikely rapport?

Aides on both sides have pointed out that when the two leaders met in Washington in September, there was a palpable chemistry. They shared a sense of priorities, of where they wanted the alliance to head.

On his previous visit to India, in 2009, Obama spoke of the two democracies forming one of the "defining partnerships" of the 21st century . But in those initial years, the partnership became strained. First came a stalled nuclear deal; later, a needless spat over an Indian diplomat in New York. India's disappointing growth, meanwhile, seemed to lead to declining interest.

Modi has now successfully hit


the reset button. By not bearing a grudge against Washington for blacklisting him, and by wooing American business with gusto, he has revived a flagging partnership. Americans who have negotiated with Indian teams under Modi say it's evident the new Prime Minister has been clear with his envoys: It's time to fix things with Washington.

And so it comes down to Modi and Obama in New Delhi. Indian TV channels alternate between flashing banners saying "Namaste Obama" one minute and asking about "deliverables" from the summit the next. For days, teams in London have been hammering out a potential deal to trade civilian nuclear energy. There is talk of increased ties on defense, and on renewable energy. Climate change will be an important topic for both sides: India generateshas come to town once again.

The real work between the two countries will continue at a smaller, ongoing level: with increased people-to-people contact, with more trade, with more tourism, with an energized Indian diaspora in the United States, and with many, many more days of talks between the two countries' envoys.

In many ways, the people on both sides are ahead of policy. According to a Pew Research Center survey last year, 58% of Indians view Americans favorably, with only 18% holding an unfavorable view. It's time for government to catch up.

With both India and the United States benefiting from lower crude prices and a growth upswing, this is as good a time as any.

  202.Caribbean's turbulent history, in which all the islands were pawns in wars fought thousands of miles away on the European and North American continents, accounts for much of their similarity today, but also their surprising diversity. In order, citizens of Spain, Great Britain, France, the Netherlands, and Denmark met here and promptly went to work exterminating the Taino and Arawak and Carib natives. Then they enslaved Africans to work the plantations and, after ending the slave trade, imported East Indians to till the fields. For four centuries, the Europeans stole and swapped and sold the islands to one another, until finally in the twentieth century the colonies became too expensive to rule and too impoverished to fight over, and one by one the islands, in particular those controlled


Japanese, or North American), looked strangely like _us,_ like my fiancée and me. Which is not that odd, since she's a Campbell on her mother's side and I'm a Gordon on my father's, and neither of our New England families had done much mucking about with the gene pool. The Edinburghers who looked like Chase were the dark Scots, slender with pale eyes and light skin and straight dark brown hair. Those who resembled me were the thick-bodied red Scots with florid complexions and round wide faces and sandy or red curly hair. The dark Scots looked Norwegian to us, and the red Scots looked Celtic, and probably were, at least on their mother's side or their father's. It was strangely familial, almost ghostly, seeing so many facesDemocratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) paid tribute to rapper Biggie Smalls, also known as Notorious B.I.G., by reciting the lyrics to his 1994 song "Juicy" on the House Floor Thursday.

"Biggie Smalls, Frank White, the king of New York. He died 20 years ago today in a tragedy that occurred in Los Angeles. But his words live on forever," Jeffries said alongside a printed photo of Biggie Smalls on the House floor.

"I got the privilege of representing the district where Biggie Smalls was raised. We know he went from negative to positive and emerged as one of the world most important hip hop stars. His rags-to-riches life story is the classic embodiment of the American dream," Jeffries continued. "Biggie Smalls is gone but he will never be forgotten. Rest

Later came the processes of making fire artificially. This remarkable control of fire happened during Early Stone Age by Homo erectus.

The earliest evidence comes from Kenya region. Although fire could have been used about 1 million years ago, evidence of cooked food is found from 1.9 million years. From the past to the present Fire has been in rituals, agriculture, cooking, generating heat and light, signaling, various industrial processes, cremation, and as a weapon or medium of destruction.

Innovation of Wheel

The wheel stands out as the OG of engineering marvels and one of the most famous inventions that influenced numerous other things. This primitive technology made it easier for all of us to


travel. From the archeological excavations, the oldest known wheel is from Mesopotamia, around 3500 B.C. As a result of advancement in the new and innovative design of wheels, industrialization could take root. The wheel serves a vital purpose in our lives, and we couldn’t imagine the world without them.

Compass:

Created for spiritual and navigational purposes, the earliest compasses were most likely invented by the Chinese in around 1050 BC. It was made of lodestones, which is a naturally magnetized iron ore.

The invention of the electromagnet in 1825 lead to the development of the modern compass. The invention of the compass certainly helped modern navigation more than our GPS-needing culture could understand.

Automobile:

Although the foundation to the modern car year was laid in 1886 by German inventor Karl Benz, Cars didnot become widely available until the early 20th century. Henry Ford innovated mass-production techniques that became standard, with Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler. However, he certainly wasn’t the only person to develop the horseless carriage. The history of the automobile reflects a worldwide evolution. Dozens of spin-off industries blossomed creating thousands of new jobs. Oil and steel became two well-established industries. Vehicle production and sales are one of the major indicators of the economic status. Moreover, it influenced the technological advances in petroleum refining, steel making, paint and plate-glass manufacturing, and other industrial processes.

Steam Engine:

Thomas Savery patented the first practical steam engine in 1698. It was one of the greatest inventions made by a man making him one of the people who have changed the world. Later in


1781, James Watt patented an improved steam engine and went on to fuel one of the most momentous technological leaps in human history during the Industrial Revolution. During the 1800s these engines lead to an improvement in transportation, agriculture, and manufacturing industries. Later, the steam engine’s basic principle set the stage for innovations like internal combustion engines and jet turbines, which prompted the rise of cars and aircraft during the 20th century.

Internal Combustion Engine

The 19th-century invention (created by Belgian engineer Etienne Lenoir in 1859 and improved by Germany‘s Nikolaus Otto in 1876), this engine that converts chemical energy into mechanical energy overtook the steam engine and is used in modern cars and planes. Elon Musk’s electric car company Tesla, among others, is currently trying to revolutionize technology inthis arena once again

Concrete:

Concrete is the one of the most widely used man-made material. It’s a composite material composed of rough composite bonded together with a fluid cement which hardens over time. Most concretes used are lime-based, asphalt concrete, and polymer concretes. Earlier, Limestone was used as a crude cement. As the materials and combinations improved, modern concrete was invented. One of the key ingredients of concrete is cement. The foundation to cement was laid in 1300 BC. Middle eastern builders coated the outside of their clay fortresses with a thin, and moist burned limestone, which chemically reacted with gasses in the air to form a hard, protective surface. Around 6500 BC, the first concrete-like structures were built by the Nabataea traders or Bedouins in the southern Syria


and northern Jordan regions.

By 700 BC, the significance of hydraulic lime was known, which led to the development of mortar supply kilns for the construction of rubble-wall houses, concrete floors, and underground waterproof cisterns. By 3000 BC, the Egyptians were using early forms of concrete to build pyramids. In 1824, the most used Portland cement was invented by Joseph Aspdin of England. George Bartholomew had laid down the first concrete street in the US during 1891, which still exists. By the end of 19th century, the use of steel-reinforced concrete was developed. In 1902, using steel- reinforced concrete, August Perret designed and built an apartment building in Paris. This building a wide admiration and popularity to concrete and also influenced the development of reinforced concrete. In 1921, Eugènewere common in Europe, which was used in mining. After the invention of Steam engine, more researchers were carried out throughout the world for a better design.

The commercial appearance of train networks came in the late 1820s, and the pioneer in that field was inventor George Stephenson, with his design ‘Rocket’, the most famous early railway locomotive. This gained rapid expansion across newly acquired lands. In 1821, Stephenson was appointed as an engineer for the construction of the Stockton and Darlington railway, which was opened as the first public railway in 1825. The grand success of “Rocket” and opening of the Stockton to Darlington railway line energized railway industry. Railways reached another important chapter in the history, with the invention of Diesel Engine.

Airplane:

On December 17, 1903, Wilbur and


Orville Wright achieved the first powered, sustained and controlled airplane. While flying machines had been dreamt up since da Vinci’s time, the Wright Brothers became the biggest successes. Beginning with gliders, the duo laid the foundation for modern aeronautical engineering. Additionally, new business boomed along with a number of people being trained to fly planes. The possibility to fly over thousands of miles in less time would not have been made possible if the aircraft were not invented.

Nail:

The sophisticated human life would not have been possible without the invention of a small nail. They provide one of the best clues in determining the age of historic buildings. Prior to the invention of nails, wood structures were built by geometrically interlocking adjacent boards. The invention of nails goes backto several thousand years and was possible only after the development of casting and shaping a metal. Around 3400 BC, Bronze nails were found in Egypt. According to the University of Vermont, the hand – wrought nails were a norm until the 1790s and early 1800s. By 1913, 90 percent of nails produced in the U.S. were steel wire nails. Other types of nails include pins, tacks, brads, and spikes with wire nails being popular.

OPTICAL LENSES:

from glasses to microscopes and telescopes, optical lenses have greatly expanded the possibilities of our vision. They have a long history, first developed by ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians, with key theories of light and vision contributed by Ancient Greeks. Optical lenses were also instrumental components in the creation of media technologies involved in


for electricity. A British scientist Michael Faraday discovered the basic principles of electricity generation. The electromagnetic induction discovery revolutionized the energy usage. Street lights were some of the earliest attention gaining equipment. With the rise in electricity usability, now it stands as a backbone of modern industrial society. With increased mobility, human life has become dependent on electricity.

Battery:

The prehistoric battery dates back the Parthian empire, which might be 2,000 years old. The old battery consisted of a clay jar filled with a vinegar solution, into which a copper cylinder surrounded iron rod was inserted. These batteries might have been used to electroplate silver.

The inventor of the first electric battery is Alessandro Volta. He also laid the foundation of Electrochemistry. The mass production of the first electric battery beganin 1802 by William Cruickshank. The history of batteries marked a remarkable date in 1859, with the invention the first rechargeable battery based on lead acid by the French physician Gaston Planté. The Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) battery was introduced in 1899 by Waldemar Jungner.

Printing press:

Before the Internet’s ability to spread information, the printing press helped information travel throughout the globe. Developed around 1440 in Mainz, Germany, Johannes Gutenberg’s machine improved on already existing presses. By 1500 Gutenberg presses were operating throughout Western Europe with a production of 20 million copies. By 1600, they had created over 200 million new books.

Morse Code and Telegraph:

The telegraph was developed around 1830 – 1840 by Samuel Morse and other inventors, which revolutionized long-distance communication. The electrical signals were transmitted by a wire laid


steel is used in the creation of everything from bridges to skyscrapers.

Transistors:

The transistor is an essential component in nearly every modern electronic gadget. In 1926, Julius Lilienfeld patented a field-effect transistor, but the working device was not feasible. In 1947 John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley developed the first practical device at Bell Laboratories. It then won the trio 1956 Nobel Prize in physics. Transistors have become a fundamental piece of the circuitry in countless electronic devices including televisions, cell phones, and computers making a remarkable impact on technology.

The Bow and Arrow

The stock long range weapon of armies the world over before guns, archers and other missile troops dominated defensive warfare for millennia.

Antibiotics:

Antibiotics saved millions of lives by killing and inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria. LouisPasteur and Robert Koch first described the Antibiosis (phenomena of antibiotic drug) in 1877. In 1928, Alexander Fleming set the first leap in antibiotics by identifying penicillin, the chemical compound with antibiotic properties. Throughout the 20th century, antibiotics spread rapidly and proved to be a major living improvement, fighting nearly every known form of infection and protecting peoples’ health.

Contraceptives:

Prevention of pregnancy has a long and determined history. The history of contraceptives dates back to 1500 B.C, where ancient Egypt women would mix honey, sodium carbonate and crocodile dung into a thick, solid paste called pessary and insert it into their vaginas before an intercourse. However, many researchers believe that several old world birth control methods are not effective and indeed could be fatal. The first known form of


it became an industry itself.

Television:

Television! A small box with enormous information that changed entertainment and communications forever. The invention of the television was the work of many individuals. Although TV plays an important part of our everyday lives, it rapidly developed during the 19th and the 20th century. The first television camera was invented by two men without knowing that they both are working on the same one (No TV to communicate them the news); Vladimir Zworykin and Philo Taylor. In 1884, Paul Gottlieb Nipkow created and patented the first television which he called the electromechanical television system.

Though Color TV was not a new idea, in 1925 Zworykin filed a patent for an electronic color television system. Over time, television will gain political importance as every country startedto share their political agenda through it. TV also became a food way of preserving peace and order.

Camera:

The camera is undoubtedly one of the most cherished creations. Cameras have witnessed many phases of evolution – camera obscura, daguerreotypes, dry plates, calotypes, film to SLRs and DSLRs. In 1826, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce used a sliding wooden box camera made by Charles and Vincent Chevalier to click the first permanent photograph. With the technological advancements, Digital cameras were introduced to save pictures on the memory cards rather than using films.

The history of the digital camera began with Eugene F. Lally idea to take pictures of the planets and stars while traveling through space. Later, Steven Sasson a Kodak engineer invented and built the first digital camera in 1975. Though the


a single individual, but was resulted out of contributions of several scientists and inventors. Although claimed to be invented earlier, patent for radio was granted in 1904. Both, Nikola Tesla and Guglielmo Marconi are considered as inventors of the Radio. In 1901, Marconi sent the first radiotelegraph message from England to Canada. Radio-telegraphy became one of the most used communication techniques after the radio was invented. The AM (Amplitude Modulation) radio was a modification that helped in making access to numerous radio stations possible.

Fountain Pen

The Romanian inventor Petrache Poenaru received a French patent on May 25, 1827, for the invention of the first fountain pen with a barrel made from a large swan quill.

Computer:

Major shoutout to the mechanical engineer Charles Babbage for laying the foundation to this remarkableand most reliable invention. In the early 19th century, the “father of the computer” conceptualized and invented the first mechanical computer. Although there’s no single inventor of the modern computer, the principle was proposed by Alan Turing in his seminal 1936 paper. Today, computers stand as the symbolic representation of the modern world.

Email:

During 1969, shortly after the creation of ARPANET, experimental email transfers between separate computer systems began. Before email, sending an important document overseas involves a chaotic process. Now communication is one click away. The first substantial use of email began in the 1960s. By mid-1970s, it had taken the recognized form. The present-day most of the official business communication depends on email. Now, email is available on plenty friendly web interfaces by providers such as Gmail,


Outlook, Yahoo, Hotmail, etc. This excellent medium of communication is well adopted by millions of people.

Internet:

Unlike the bulb or the telephone, the Internet has no single “inventor.” Instead, it has evolved over time. It started in the United States around the 1950s, along with the development of computers. Since the mid-1990s, the Internet has had a revolutionary impact on technology, including the rise of electronic mail, instant messaging, voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone calls, and two-way interactive video calls.

World Wide Web:

The Internet is a networking infrastructure. Whereas the World Wide Web is a way to access information over the medium of the Internet. The father of the World Wide Web is a British Computer Scientist, Tim Berners-Lee. While working as a software engineer at CERN in Geneva,or social media such as Facebook and Twitter.

Banknote:

From materials like livestock to precious metals and coins, currency took various forms throughout the history. Due to frequent shortages of coins, banks issued paper notes as a promise against payment of precious metals in future. The idea of using a light-weight substance as money originated in China during the Han Dynasty in 118 BC. Through travelers, Europe was introduced to this system in the 13th century. The switch to paper money relieved governments during crisis time. Thus, it changed the face of the global economy with a vital step in a new monetary system.

Credit Cards:

During the dawn of 20th century, people paid for everything with cash. The idea of credit cards started around 1950 by Ralph Schneider and Frank McNamara,


Earlier machines used paper vouchers instead of plastic cards. The customer entered an identification code and can draw a maximum of £10 at a time. Dallas Engineer Donald Wetzel devised the first automated banking machine in the U.S.

Telephone and Mobile Phones:

“Mr. Watson, come here, I want you.” On March 10, 1876, these were the first words spoken by telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell through his device to his assistant Thomas Watson. Telephone history conceivably started with the human desire to communicate far and wide. With the arrival of the mobile phone in the 1980s, communications were no longer restrained. The clever invention of cellular network supported the revolution of the telephone industry. Starting from bulky mobiles phones to ultrathin handsets, mobiles phones have covered a long way soIn earlier days, guns were fired by holding a burning wick to a “touch hole” in the barrel igniting the powder inside. The first mechanical gun is the matchlock, which dates to 1400s. By the 12th century, the technology started spreading to Asia, followed by Europe. The problem of loading and reliability was solved by the invention of a hand-driven machine gun called Gatling gun. It was invented by Richard J. Gatling during the American Civil War. As the tech continued to evolve, each following model became more deadly.

DNA

The discovery of DNA completely changed our conception of how we work. As we map the genome and make new discoveries daily, our understanding of genetics will completely change our concept of living – and of death.

Films:

Almost everyone loves to


watch movies of various sorts like a love story, comedy, drama, horror, suspense, action, fiction, biography etc. A film is also called a movie, motion picture, theatrical film, photoplay, flick. The name “film” originates from the fact that a photographic film has been the medium for recording and displaying motion pictures. An Early inspiration for movies were the plays and dance, which had elements common to film: scripts, sets, costumes, production, direction, actors, audiences, and storyboards. Later in the 17th century, the lanterns were used to project animation, which was achieved by various types of mechanical slides.

Much later in 1839, Henry Fox Talbot makes an important advancement in photography production. The year 1846 was important for the development of motion pictures. The first movie ever made is thehorse in motion. In March 1895, the first film with a Cinématographe camera was shot on La Sortie de leucine Lumière a Lyon (Workers leaving the Lumière factory at Lyon). With time, the movies evolved with sound, music, color, and advanced technology.

Machine Learning The history of the field of Machine Learning is a fascinating story. In 1946 the first computer system ENIAC was developed. At that time the word ‘computer’ meant a human being that performed numerical computations on paper and ENIAC was called a numerical computing machine. This machine was manually operated, i.e. a human would make connections between parts of the machine to perform computations. The idea at that time was that human thinking and learning could be rendered logically in such a machine. In 1950


Birmingham were actually relegated in McLeish’s first season in 2008, but he was allowed to continue his rebuilding work in the English Championship.

They returned to the top flight at the first attempt and in McLeish’s second full season he guided the club to the top half of the table, winning plaudits for style and consistency.

The 2010/11 season at St Andrew’s had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows for McLeish. His side stunned Arsenal in the League Cup Final of 2011, winning their first major trophy in almost 50 years.

But their form never recovered from that famous win, and the Blues were relegated on the last day of the season after losing 2-1 to Tottenham.

Aston Villa – 2011 - 2012

It was the Midlands equivalent of leavingRangers to manage Celtic. Some 500 Aston Villa fans protested after McLeish quit Birmingham and later joined their great city rivals.

Birmingham were furious about the circumstances of McLeish’s hire, and a compensation deal of around £3m was later agreed.

It was perhaps the manner of his arrival, or her style of play, but McLeish never seemed to settle at Villa Park.

He left after a single season despite Villa avoiding relegation, after managing to win just four home league games in his entire timein charge.

Nottingham Forest – 2012 – 2013

Even Nigel Clough got more time at Leeds than McLeish managed in his ill-fated spell at the City Ground.

McLeish lost four of his seven games at Forest, and clashed with the club’s Kuwaiti owners during his winter of discontent at the


championship team.

He failed to commit to the club after January transfer window funds never materialised and left after just 40 days in charge.

Genk – 2014 – 2015

There were eyebrows raised in more places than Belgium when McLeish ended his managerial exile to take the helm at Racing Genk.

With the Belgian league splitting into a Championship play-off round, even the team that finishes in sixth place can still lift the trophy.

McLeish’s side, however, finished seventh behind relative minnows Charleroi and Kortrijk, and he was relieved of his duties in June 2015.

Zamalek – 2016

Having seemingly got the bug for foreign adventure, McLeish found himself in Cairo with Zamalek, mainstays of the Egyptian premier league.

But repeated clashes with an owner who wanted to pick the team saw McLeish leave North AfricaRecord details

Incidence of atherosclerosis by race in the dialysis morbidity and mortality study: a sample of the US ESRD population.
White individuals who are on dialysis experience much higher overall and cardiovascular mortality rates than black individuals despite a more favorable risk factor profile, but the incidence of nonfatal cardiovascular disease (CVD) to this racial disparity has not been well studied. A longitudinal study of 16,103 people who had ESRD and were enrolled in the United Renal Data System from 1993 to 1996 was conducted. The incidence of new and recurrent atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) events was determined using Medicare claims for hospitalizations and mortality among blacks and whites, stratified by ASCVD at baseline.

East Howe

East Howe is a residential district of the town of Bournemouth, Dorset on the south coast of England.

Origins
The district takes its name from the now-archaic English word "howe", variously defined as denoting a depression or a stretch of high ground. There is a ridge of high ground stretching across to the west, which appears to have given rise to the toponyms High Howe, West Howe and East Howe, certainly prior to 1826 when all three settlements were marked on Greenwood's map of Dorset. Previously, a 'How Corner' had featured on Paterson's 1785 map of Dorset, seemingly denoting a bend in the Poole to Ringwood road (now the A348) as it passed through the High Howe area.

[Defense, attack, and street fighting. The role of medicine and military illustrated the example of the cholera epidemics in Prussia].
This article intends to illustrate the introduction of military rhetoric into medical discourse during the cholera epidemic of 1831/32 in Europe. Even before the era of bacteriology, illness and epidemics were considered to be the military enemies of mankind. Beginning with the rise of the military in early modern times, the language of medical discourses oriented itself on the influential military institutions. Sickness appeared as a warring aggressor. Since the time of the plague at the very latest, military connotations were commonplace in Europe, and this tendency became stronger during the conflicts of the 19th century.

METALLICA drummer Lars Ulrich says that he is not opposed to one day touring the world as a hologram.

A Tupac Shakur hologram performed with Snoop Dogg at Coachella in 2012, and Cirque Du Soleil brought a holographic version of Michael Jackson to the stage. More recently, it was announced that a hologram of legendary heavy metal singer Ronnie James Dio would embark on a world tour in December, backed by members of his old band.

Ulrich, who has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area — the technology hub of the United States — for more than three decades, spoke about the possibility of holographic performers one day flooding the market during a career-spanning interview this past


Sunday (November 5) at 92Y in New York City.

The drummer said: "The conversation in the Bay Area, generally, is primarily about… when people look into the future, it's about artificial intelligence, and it's about how you adapt AI into everything that we know on a daily basis. And so when you start looking at the possibilities of how that could play into music, obviously there's been a few go-arounds with the holograms — there's a few artists that are looking at sending artists on the road in hologram form.

"We were in Copenhagen a couple, three months ago, and we were doing rehearsals for the European tour," he continued. "We had this whole new visual show thing happening. And what was going on was, we are in an arenanow, and I'm a hologram, fine with me. It's fine with me."

Created by Eyellusion, the digitally recreated Ronnie James Dio made its live debut at last year's Wacken Open Air festival in Germany, and reappeared for the music industry at the Pollstar Awards in February.

The "Dio Returns" tour will hit Europe in December, followed by a South American run in early 2018 and a North American trek next summer.

"We took our time building it because we wanted to pass on the legacy of his incredible music to people who might not have gotten a chance to see Ronnie during his lifetime," Eyellusion boss Jeff Pezzuti told Billboard of the eight-month process of creating the virtual Dio.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has called for a meeting with the Prime Minister after two more young men were stabbed to death as London's knife crime epidemic worsened.

Mr Khan called for a meeting with Theresa May and Home Secretary Amber Rudd after two young men were stabbed to death within half a mile of each other on Tuesday night.

A 17-year-old boy died in the street after being “jumped” outside a corner shop in Kentish Town. Less than two hours later a 20-year-old died after being stabbed near Belsize Park.

The latest killings came as London Assembly figures showed there were 14,521 knife crime offences in London in the year to January 2018 – up a staggering 27 per cent from 11,416 in the year to January 2017. There haswe are to beat it.”

Last week, the Mayor pledged £15 million a year funding for education, sport and cultural activities for London’s most disadvantaged young people in a bid to tackle violent crime.

The 17-year-old who died last night was attacked at about 8.30pm near Saver’s Mini Mart in Bartholomew Road, yards from his home on the Peckwater estate. He was named locally as Abdikarim Hassan.

The 20-year-old was stabbed in Malden Road at about 10.13pm. He was named locally as Sadiq Aadam. His brother Mohamed Aadam, 20, was stabbed to death in Camden in September. Their cousin, Mohamed Abdullahi, also 20, was fatally stabbed in the heart in a case of mistaken identity in 2013.

On Monday, Ms Rudd promised a new effort to tackle knife violence. She told the

The DNC's complaint is part of an ongoing lawsuit against Russia, WikiLeaks, Donald Trump's presidential campaign and other key individuals. | Saul Loeb/AFP/Getty Images Cybersecurity DNC says it was target of Russia cyberattack after 2018 midterms

The Democratic National Committee filed a legal complaint Thursday night alleging that it was the target of a cyberattack by Russia one week after the 2018 midterm elections.

"In November 2018, dozens of DNC email addresses were targeted in a spear-phishing campaign, although there is no evidence that the attack was successful," the DNC alleged, according to court documents filed to the District Court of the Southern District of New York. "The content of these emails and their timestamps were consistent with a spear-phishing campaign that leading cybersecurity experts have tied to Russian intelligence."

Thecomplaint is part of an ongoing lawsuit against Russia, WikiLeaks, Donald Trump's presidential campaign and other key individuals.

According to the complaint, the timing as well as the content of the spearphishing emails match the practices of Russian hacking group Cozy Bear, one of two Kremlin-tied groups that hacked the DNC in 2016, according to the complaint. Spear-phishing is a cyberattack tactic in which hackers send emails that appear to come from a trusted sender to try to get the targeted individuals to reveal confidential information.

"Therefore, it is probable that Russian intelligence again attempted to unlawfully infiltrate DNC computers in November 2018," the DNC said in its filing.

The malicious emails targeted a wide range of party officials, from junior staff to some of the party's most senior ranks including


people at the "director" level, according to a Democratic official who requested anonymity to discuss a security incident. DNC directors oversee portfolios such as grassroots mobilization, data science, African-American media outreach and state operations.

The emails were almost identical to the ones attributed to Cozy Bear sent to a wide range of targets last year, the Democratic official told POLITICO. In a report on those attacks, the security firm FireEye said that it discovered them on Nov. 14, the same day that the DNC said it received the new emails.

Attached to the emails was the same fake State Department internship application form shown in FireEye's report, the Democratic official said. Other aspects of the emails, including the description of the attachment, also matched the campaign detailed by FireEye.

Morning Cybersecurityinformal partnerships with a variety of security firms and tech companies. A third party may have alerted the DNC to the emails, possibly after receiving some itself.

The DNC has not received any more Russian spearphishing emails since the mid-November campaign, according to the Democratic official.

In the complaint, the DNC also suggested that the president's denial of Russia's interference in the 2016 election, his continued criticism of special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe and some of his policies that the committee characterized as favoring Russia, are part of the alleged collusion between Trump's presidential campaign and the Russian government.


Commentary: New Mexico Wild joined a broad coalition today in celebrating the passage of a public lands package in the U.S. Senate by voice vote that, in part, calls for the creation of thirteen new wilderness areas in New Mexico, including ten within the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument and two within the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. The roughly 270,000-plus acres of potential New Mexico wilderness that are included in the Natural Resources Management Act would mark the most acreage of wilderness designated in New Mexico in a single year since 1980 if the legislation passes the U.S. House of Representatives and is signed into law by President Donald Trump.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled that these special places are one step closer to being protected intheir wild and natural states, providing New Mexicans and all Americans with ample opportunities to escape to the outdoors,” said Mark Allison, Executive Director of New Mexico Wild. “Given that New Mexico is home to the nation’s first designated wilderness area, it is gratifying to see that tradition of conservation and responsible stewardship of our public lands continue.”

Senators Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich co-sponsored the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Conservation Act, which was included in the public lands package that passed the Senate today. The legislation would designate ten wilderness areas within the national monument totaling 241,554 acres.

Legislation to safeguard the wilderness in Doña Ana County was first introduced by former Senator Jeff Bingaman in 2009 in the 111th Congress, and then again by Senators Udall and Heinrich


in the 112th and 113th Congresses.

Hunting, livestock grazing, hiking, camping, horseback riding, firefighting, law enforcement activities, and border security would continue in the wilderness areas. The Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks contains approximately 306 bird species and 78 mammal species including golden eagles, mule deer, javelina, cougar, ring-tail cat, and quail.

A 2016 poll showed 78 percent of citizens in Doña Ana County support the protection of wilderness within the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument.

Also included in today’s public lands package was the Cerros del Norte Conservation Act, which was also co-sponsored by Senators Udall and Heinrich, to designate the Cerro del Yuta Wilderness and the Rio San Antonio Wilderness within the Rio Grande del Norte National Monument. The initial bill passed the Senate without amendment in December 2017. Congressman BenRay Lujan sponsored an identical bill in the House of Representatives, which was co-sponsored by former Congresswoman Michelle Lujan Grisham.

“New Mexicans are grateful to Senators Udall and Heinrich, as well as Congressman Lujan and former Congresswoman Lujan Grisham, for their ongoing commitment to protecting the wild places that make our state a national treasure,” added Mark Allison.

A poll conducted by Third Eye Strategies in 2016 found that ninety-three percent of registered voters in Taos County believe that wilderness is important to them. Ninety-five percent of those surveyed believe it is important for public lands to be preserved for future generations.

Designated in 2013, Río Grande del Norte National Monument continues to enjoy overwhelming community support, including the backing of business owners, sportsmen, tribal leaders, land grant heirs, local elected


officials, and grazing permittees.

During last year’s review of national monuments by the Department of Interior, New Mexico had the most comments submitted per capita of any state. Nearly ninety eight percent of the comments received for Rio Grande del Norte opposed the executive order and wanted the monument to remain as is.

The potential wilderness areas within the national monument serve as some of the world’s great avian migratory routes. They are also home to wildlife, including bear, pronghorn and elk. The new designations would safeguard world-class recreation opportunities already enjoyed within the national monument, such as hiking, hunting, and fishing.

Overall, the two wilderness areas created by the Cerros del Norte Conservation Act would comprise 21,540 acres of the 243,140-acre national monument northwest of Taos, New Mexico.

Today’s public landswere trying to "destabilize" America.

While the civil war tweet is getting more attention, the Schiff tweet may be a bigger deal. The president accusing a member of Congress of treason for something they said on the House or Senate floor is unconstitutional. "Trump's tweet is by itself arguably impeachable," suggested political science professor Jacob Levy

His lies were made in perhaps the most blatant and sinister manner ever seen in the great Chamber. He wrote down and read terrible things, then said it was from the mouth of the President of the United States. I want Schiff questioned at the highest level for Fraud & Treason….. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 29, 2019

The relevant part of the U.S. Constitution is known as the speech and debate clause. It


a FAKE & terrible statement, pretended it to be mine as the most important part of my call to the Ukrainian President, and read it aloud to Congress and the American people. It bore NO relationship to what I said on the call. Arrest for Treason? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 30, 2019

The Schiff tweets have been overshadowed by Trump's subsequent mention of civil war. Many are insisting that Trump was threatening to start one and has violated a law against inciting "rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States."

So today Trump threatened a whistleblower, accused one or more of his top nat sec aides of being spies, demanded a House Chair be interrogated on suspicion of treason and threatened to foment a civil warif he is removed from office. — Josh Marshall (@joshtpm) September 30, 2019

The president didn't directly threaten to start a civil war, of course, nor make an actual attempt to incite one (yet). But Trump even broaching it as a possibility is disturbing and provides yet more evidence of his truly twisted, selfish way of looking at things.

"Even by Trump standards, this is a remarkably irresponsible tweet," said National Review's David French of this civil war quote. "The impeachment inquiry should focus not just on abuse of power but also fitness for office. This is repugnant."

"This what he wants from you, Republicans," tweeted Will Wilkinson of the Niskanen Center. "He literally wants you to fight & die in a bloody civil conflict to bail him out of the


mile-deep mineshaft he's dug with a lifetime of bottomless corruption. That's how he sees your life: a human shield for him, worthless in itself."

Any president who would prefer civil war to being removed from office does not love their country and is certainly not serving it — Katie Mack (@AstroKatie) September 30, 2019

In between his busy schedule of making unconstitutional statements and walking the line on inciting violence, Trump took time this weekend to highlight the thoughts of randos who dislike the same people as he dislikes and a "Trump But About Sharks" parody account.
