they hit a wall at November, and even losing to Mineski on a LAN tournament. They had a rough start at December because of G-League, but they bounced back with a strong performance at ACG.

January was the final month they were with Meracle. It was a tough month, which included a 0-8 showing at Redbull ECL. But their game activity level and winning percentage improved after adding YamateH, and they were able to conquer a number of SEA tournaments. It can be worth noting that many of their defeats this year came against Chinese teams.

Titan's favorite pick is Ohaiyo's Nature's Prophet - a hero we have seen him excelled at during The International 3. Among their favorite picks are two of Net's favorite hero, the Rubick and theSandking.

One surprising hero on Titan's list is Invoker. This is a hero that Meracle was able to use when his signature heroes like Naga and Morphling are banned, at then the new carry in ky.xy was also adept on using this hero.

Among the team's favorites that did not make the graph are heroes like Shadow Shaman, Mirana, Lone Druid and Shadow Demon. Their current middle-lane player has a good repertoire of hero which includes Viper and Razor, contrary to his limited hero pool back at the AsianCyberGames.

The team's bans are not very special. Batrider, Lycan and Invoker were very famous bans throughout the world. However, all these heroes have the ability to get some sort of vision which sorts of counterplays Net's strong positional heroes.

Slark has a very

-Net is known for his positioning on the tree lines. Now well known for his Sandking, he also used to be very famous for his Vengeful Spirit

-Ky.xY had an infamous incident last The International 3 wherein he accidentally denied the Aegis. In an amazing stroke of coincidence, he was also able to deny an enemy this year.

-Titan is a multi-esports organization. Among the teams they have aside from this Dota 2 squad is a CS:GO team.

TheCommissioner Adam Silver said he expected NBA players to continue standing for the national anthem.

"It's my hope that our players will continue to use that as a moment of unity," Silver said Thursday after the league's board of governors meeting in Manhattan. "... Many of our players have spoken out already about their plan to stand for the anthem. And I think they understand how divisive an issue it is in our society right now."

Silver said the playing of the national anthem has always been a time for respect and reflection -- even in a league where 25 percent of the players are not American -- and recalled that many teams locked arms last season.

Editor's Picks

NBA commissioner Adam Silver has been a strident proponent of both legislative agendas,


pushing owners and team executives on his belief that passage was important for elements of the league's economy, competitive balance and public perception.

He wants them to continue showing unity during the anthem -- but to do it while standing, thereby adhering to league guidelines. The NBA has a rule stating that players, coaches and trainers must "stand and line up in a dignified posture" during the anthem.

"It's been a rule as long as I've been involved with the league, and my expectation is that our players will continue to stand for the anthem," he said.

Silver didn't say what would happen if any players refuse to stand, adding: "If that were to happen, we'll deal with it when it happens."

National Basketball Players Association executive director Michele Roberts also toldESPN's The Undefeated on Friday: "I don't like to play the 'what if' game. I'll just borrow Silver's language: We, too, in the event discipline is imposed, will 'deal with it.'"

Some athletes in the NFL and other sports have knelt during the anthem to protest social injustice.

"These are highly complex and nuanced issues," Silver said. "One of the core principles of this country is freedom of expression as well. It is my hope, though, that with NBA players, that given the platform that they have -- whether it's the regular engagement they have with the media, whether it's social media, whether it's other opportunities they have to work in the communities -- that they have those opportunities for their voices to be heard."

The board also talked about current


events, meeting less than a week after President Donald Trump opted against inviting the Golden State Warriors to the White House after All-Star Stephen Curry said he didn't want to go.

Trump had criticized NFL players for their anthem protests in a speech the night before, and hundreds responded in games Sunday and Monday by kneeling during the anthem.

Silver says he thinks NBA players will remain engaged in a variety of ways.

"I'm hoping once again that this league can play a constructive role there," Silver said.economics editor Hugh Pym said the Bank of England was clearly concerned about the possibility of a prolonged recession in the UK. This was evident from the Bank's use of terms such as "very marked deterioration in the outlook" and "severe contraction", he said. Didn't we the taxpayers bail out the banks? Weren't we told that in return the Treasury had demanded strict conditions?

“We can put on board systems that we know will work with our systems, so that ifIn Maine, casting ballots with, and on, ranked-choice voting The system allows voters to rank candidates in the order they are preferred.

Voters in Maine head to the polls Tuesday as their state joins four others in holding primary elections, but unlike those casting ballots in Nevada, North Dakota, South Carolina and Virginia, Mainers will select their candidates via an emerging system known as ranked-choice voting, which, ironically, could face its elimination on the same day it is finally utilized in a statewide race for the first time.

Ranked-choice voting was approved by Maine voters in 2016 after a string of 11 gubernatorial races in which the ultimate winner received a majority of the vote – over 50 percent – just twice. In the other nine instances, including both general


election victories by incumbent Gov. Paul LePage, the winner received a plurality of the vote – the highest total among multiple candidates but less than 50 percent.

Under a ranked-choice system, instead of selecting one option in a field with more than two entrants, voters order the candidates from most-preferred to least-preferred. If no single candidate receives a majority of the vote, the candidate with the smallest number of first-choice votes is eliminated. The ballots for that candidate are then transferred to the candidates selected second by the voters who lost their first choice.

Using the example in the graphic above, no candidate in the field of five received more than 50 percent of the vote in "Round 1" of voting. Under the voting systems most commonly used across theUnited States, "Candidate C," would be declared the winner with 35 percent – a plurality, or the highest total among the entrants. However, in a ranked-choice system, when no candidate receives a majority, an instant-runoff situation is created. In this example, "Candidate E" is eliminated and the votes of those who chose "Candidate E" first are transferred to their second choice. The process is automatic, no additional election takes place, and it continues until one candidate receives more than 50 percent.

Under the system, it is possible for a candidate, who would not have been the winner under a structure that rewards a plurality, to ultimately win the election should unsuccessful candidates' supporters largely select that nominee as a second or third choice. Such an outcome is also illustrated


fourth candidates siphon votes from a leading contender who may win in a head-to-head matchup with their foremost opponent.

For critics of the controversial LePage, ranked-choice voting's earlier utilization may have led to an avoidance of his two terms as governor.

LePage won election in 2010 with 37.6 percent of the vote in the November general election, while second and third place finishers Eliot Cutler, an independent, and Libby Mitchell, a Democrat, combined for 54.7 percent of the vote. In 2014, LePage was reelected with 48.2 percent while Democrat Mike Michaud combined with Cutler, again running as an independent, for 51.8 percent.

That potential aside, Richie said that "the ranked-choice winner is often the person who [receives] the plurality of first-choices," making the system a non-factor in many elections.

While the primaryin nationwide elections in Australia, India and Ireland, and on local ballots in cities such as San Francisco and Minneapolis, FairVote is pointing to bills on the matter being introduced in nearly 20 states "introduced almost equally by Republicans and Democrats" as signs that the system is gaining momentum.

Asked why critics of the system would hesitate to give voters the option to indicate their varying degrees of preference for multiple candidates -- a seeming solution to the electoral logjam seen as recently as last week's California primary in which more than 20 candidates appeared on the gubernatorial primary ballot -- Richie provided a straightforward answer.

"Fear of change," he said.

Very rarely does my day job and my interest in nature cross
paths. I'm working on the installation of a garden that took me to the magical
place that is Tree of Life. The nursery is known for California natives,
specifically Orange County natives.

It is located at one of the most southern points of Orange
County, inland, and is at the foot of the Cleveland National Forest is San Juan
Capistrano. It is a few miles away from a suburban sprawl but the staff still
say they have to go into town like it's a rural area. When you turn in off the
winding two lane road you are met witha dirt road.

Walking up to the first building called Casa La Paz, or
house of peace, you truly enter a sanctuary. A large tree and canopy provides
shade in front of Casa La Paz where there is a display of various plants on
wood tables or in the ground. Inside Casa La Paz are books on plants,
landscapes, birds, nature and hiking.

The true beauty is found on the shelves and shelves of
outdoor plants. Many people believe that to have a drought tolerant and native
garden in Southern California it means desert plants. They are far from the
truth. Southern California's climate is actually Mediterranean, which means
beautiful flowering plants in purples, yellows and pinks, wispy grasses and
some succulents. All which I found at Tree of Life.

The pollinator and butterfly garden area was my absolute
favorite. Besides


History of Medicine Jean Marc Gaspard Itard - 1774-1838.
Here is the history of French physician and otologist, Jean Marc Gaspard Itard (1774-1838). As physician for the Institute for Deaf Mutes in Paris, Dr. Itard became responsible for the care and civilization of the "wild boy of Aveyron," also known as, "The Wild Child" of the Truffaut movie. Their encounter became the first carefully recorded effort to train a culturally deprived individual on a one-to-one basis, or perhaps on any basis. Dr. Itard's work lead directly through Dr. Sequin and Dr. Montessori to us today. If we now stand on the threshold of restoring hearing by implantation to the totally deaf, then the results we expect and the training programs we must follow will naturally take us back toDr. Ambedkar went to Amritsar in 1936 with his proposal to convert 60 million Dalit to Sikhism, his first choice religion. The Sikh leadership, including Master Tara Singh, a high caste, had been advised by Gandhi and the Brahmin leaders to reject the proposed conversion as that would shift the monopoly of power from the higher caste Sikhs to the new Dalit Sikhs. Gandhi and the Brahmins also did not want the message of caste less society advocated by Sikhism to spread to the rest of India – the land of caste, to which Gandhi and Brahminical forces subscribed.

If the Sikhs had accepted the proposal at that time, today Sikhs would have numbered 250 to 300 million, and would have had a lot of clout in all power


year has been close to the same — around 800 receiving yards, 50 some-odd catches (he had a career-high 66 last season) and three to five touchdowns.

This year has been a slight improvement. He has 778 receiving yards, which already matches his 2011 and 2013 seasons. He has 55 catches, his second-best season. And he has eight touchdown grabs, easily the most of his career.

And he has four games left. Of those four games, two are against weak pass defenses. The two strong opponents come in Week 17, after your fantasy playoffs likely are finished, and Week 16 against a reeling Rams team not nearly as good as its ranking.

What are the pressures that drone enthusiasts feel to cultivate their love of flying robots responsibly? We went inside the world of drone-racers to get their perspective: "We know we're ambassadors," says Dale Settle in this documentary by The Atlantic. "This is new technology—there's lots of talk, there's lots of hype."

However, much in the same way that civilians are pioneering the emergence of drone technologies, they are also playing a role in mitigating the risks that may arise. "As the technology proliferates, you increase the probability that somebody is going to use it inappropriately," says John Franklin, the co-founder of DroneShield, which identifies unauthorized drones using real-time alerts.


Except for an initial period of training, her *1028 primary assignment throughout her employment was as Center Manager for the Advance America center in Blytheville, Arkansas. For the most part she had a good employment record with Advance America. She was disciplined shortly after her employment began because her cash drawer was short. Three years later she was disciplined because a customer complained that she was rude, but she disputes the accuracy of the customer's accusations. When the issue with the customer arose, she took medical leave. When she returned from medical leave, she received a written warning memorializing the customer complaint and her response to it.
Ross has bipolar disorder, a fact that she disclosed to Dunn, who discussed her diagnosis with another employee. Dunn admitted that hediscussed Ross's diagnosis with another employee and admitted that he was wrong in doing so. It is undisputed that Dunn violated company policy when he discussed Ross's diagnosis with another employee. Although the record does not disclose the exact date of Dunn's inappropriate disclosure, the date must have been before April 5, 2005, because Ross made reference to it in responding to an employee performance evaluation on that date.
Ross complained to corporate headquarters about Dunn's disclosure of her diagnosis on several occasions, but Dunn was never disciplined. According to Dunn, he admitted that he had erred, and he apologized to Ross. Ross testified that Dunn admitted what he had done and admitted that it was wrong, but she says that he never apologized.
In late July of 2005, Ross


took eight weeks of medical leave for a surgical procedure. While she was on medical leave, on August 9, 2005, she called a hotline maintained by the employee relations department at Advance America's corporate headquarters in South Carolina, and she complained about Dunn's disclosure. At that point, the employee relations department contacted Dennis Fischer, who was the regional director of operations for Michigan and Arkansas and in that capacity was Dunn's supervisor. Fischer spoke with Dunn, who admitted his wrongdoing and said that he had apologized. Fischer told Dunn to make sure that it did not happen again. Fischer then spoke with Renee Wrencher and Tamara Thompson, the other two employees in the Blytheville center, and they said that Ross talked openly about her diagnosis. Ross denies thatshe talked with Wrencher and Thompson about her diagnosis, but the undisputed evidence shows that they made that statement to Fischer, whether it was true or not.
In November 2005, the assistant manager at the Blytheville center, Renee Wrencher, called the employee relations department and complained that Ross was "trying to set her up." A note with the record of this call says, "They are both blaming each other for everything going wrong."
In December 2005, Ross again called the employee relations department to complain about the incident in which Dunn had disclosed her condition and was dissatisfied that no action had been taken to discipline Dunn. Ross called the employee relations department to inquire about the status of her complaint twice in December 2005 and once in February 2006.

Larry and then address Lavern's behavior issues.
Fischer traveled from Michigan to Blytheville to meet with Ross on February 28, 2006, and he arranged for a regional director from Texas, Earl Randolph, also to attend. The three of them met at a restaurant in Blytheville. Fischer told Ross that Dunn had apologized for disclosing her diagnosis and said, "What more do you want? He's apologized and we need to move on." Then Fischer told Ross, "we need to talk about you." Fischer read to Ross the following statement that he had prepared as the reason for the counseling session:
Lavern has violated the Company's Performance Expectations as outlined on page 14 of the Employee Handbook by conducting herself in a manner that is defiant and disrespectful towards her supervisor andwill not be tolerated. There are incidents where Lavern has refused to speak with her supervisor. Lavern has also made negative comments about her supervisor to fellow employees that impede a team environment. Statements regarding these comments are on file. Effective immediately, conversations that Lavern does not conduct herself in a professional manner may result in immediate dismissal.
Fischer then got a telephone call and left the table. Ross says that she started having an anxiety attack and told Randolph, who consoled her. After a while, when Fischer had not returned, she told Randolph that she was going to the bathroom and then she was leaving.[1] She then returned to the Advance America center in Blytheville.
Sometime later that day, Fischer and Randolph went to the center, excused the other


employees, and locked the door. Fischer then told Ross that she had been insubordinate for leaving when he had not excused her, and he terminated her employment.
On August 1, 2006, Ross filed a charge of discrimination with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. She checked the boxes to show that the alleged discrimination was based on retaliation and "other." In the space to describe her complaint more specifically, she wrote:
My supervisor discussed my personal medical information with co-workers after I complained I was discharged from my position as Branch Manager.
I believe I was retaliated against and my medical records discussed with co-workers by my supervisor, in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.
The EEOC issued its noticewho are not eligible under the Family Medical Leave Act. Ross has not said either in her deposition or in her affidavit that anyone from Advance America told her that her leave qualified under the FMLA as distinct from the company's policy permitting medical leave for employees who were not eligible under FMLA. It is undisputed that she was told that she could take medical leave, and it is undisputed that she took medical leave, but there is no evidence that she was told that she was an eligible employee under the Family Medical Leave Act. Consequently, there is no evidence to support an essential element of her claim of estoppel.
Even if the Court were to accept her argument on the estoppel issue, no reasonable jury could find


that Ross was terminated for taking medical leave. Ross took medical leave on two occasions, once in 2004 and once in 2005. She argues that when she returned from medical leave in 2004, she received discipline for having been rude to a customer, and when she took medical leave in 2005 the company refused to investigate her complaints about Dunn. The undisputed facts show that in 2004 she was confronted with the customer's allegations that she had been rude before she took medical leave and that then she took medical leave. Because she took leave immediately after being confronted, the disciplinary report was written and presented to her when she returned. Her second leave was for eight weeks beginning in late July 2005, and it was during thattime that she first called the employee relations department of Advance *1031 America and complained about Dunn's having disclosed her medical condition to a co-worker sometime before April 5, 2005. The undisputed evidence shows that the company did investigate her complaint, even though it took no action against Dunn.
More importantly, Ross points to no evidence relating her termination to the medical leave. It is undisputed that she continued to be employed at Advance America for approximately five months after she returned to work from her second medical leave. She called the employee relations department twice in December 2005 and once in February 2006 to complain about the fact that Dunn had not been disciplined for disclosing her medical condition, and she believes that she was terminated because of


her complaints about that issue. There is some evidence to show that Fischer, who made the decision to terminate her, was exasperated that she first raised the complaint about Dunn's disclosure of her medical condition five months or more after the event occurred and after Dunn had already admitted his wrongdoing, and there is evidence to show that he was exasperated that she continued to complain as late as February 2006. There is further evidence to show that Ross's co-workers in the Blytheville center complained about her conduct in late 2005 and early 2006 and reported that she had threatened to get Dunn "nailed to the cross." Those events resulted in Fischer's visit to Blytheville for a meeting with Ross. It is undisputed that after Fischer read toanything to give notice that she was claiming that she was discharged because of her medical condition.
In her brief Ross argues in the alternative that Advance America failed to provide her a reasonable accommodation when she had an anxiety attack, but there is no mention in her EEOC charge about a claim that Advance America failed to provide her with a reasonable accommodation. Moreover, her amended complaint in this action never mentions a claim that Advance America failed to provide her with a reasonable accommodation.
In short, Ross's claim that she was discriminated against because of her disability is barred because she failed to exhaust her administrative remedies. She did not check the box for disability in her EEOC charge, nor did she describe anything in her written remarks

The killing, spurred by age-old superstitions, took place on Sunday in the tribal region of Sambalpur, 450 kilometres west of Bhubaneshwar, the capital of Orissa state, the IANS news agency reported.

The barbaric crime was detected after the villagers caught the man, Rajesh Hembram, and handed him over to the police.

Hembram, who owned 1.2 hectares of farmland, planned to sow seeds mixed with the blood of his granddaughter on Monday on Akshaya Tritya, a day considered auspicious by Hindus, police said.

"He cut off his granddaughter Bernaka Kandulana's head with an axe in a room when nobody was at home and drained her blood into a pot," P.C.


was on fire – all of him. He ran in a panic. He remembers that a still small voice said to him: Stop, Drop and Roll. And he did. But he had already sustained 2nd degree burns over 80% of his body. The doctors said that if he had continued to run, he probably would have sustained 3rd degree burns over his entire body, and most likely he would have died.

He thought that he just needed to get to some water and that would help the burns. When he got to the source of water and began pouring it on himself, he realized that he had only intensified the pain.

He began to scream “Jesus help me……Jesus help me!” And then he blacked out. Anthony was airlifted to alocal hospital, but then had to be air lifted once again to a burn unit in Huntington, W.Va.

He spent almost two weeks at the burn unit. Anthony was in unspeakable pain. He had surgery at this hospital and netting was placed over his burns to help facilitate healing. He was then released, and the plan was that he would go for acute and subacute care at another hospital.

But his mom was told that there were no beds available. His mother had no idea what it takes to care for a burn victim. Although Anthony left the burn unit hospital with pain medication, he was almost completely out of it as of yesterday. I suspect that they thought that he would get the medicines he needed from the acute


care hospital.

His mother had done as much as she could, but then she realized that infection was setting in – she knew that her son needed to be in the hospital. Today he was transported to the ER of the nearest hospital. Because Anthony had not been cared for in a hospital for the last couple of weeks, he is now at risk of becoming crippled. He needs physical therapy after they get his infection and burns under control.

Anthony’s mother, who is in her eighties, has been traveling around in an attempt to find a doctor who will care for her son, and follow up with his care. She has been repeatedly turned down.

The so-called “revolutionaries” are those accredited with having taken an active part in the demonstrations that toppled former Communist dictator Nicolae Ceausescu in December 1989.

About 22,000 people have since obtained “revolutionary certificates” that gave them extra rights, including supplementary pensions, free train travel and tax exemptions.

Some 6,000 of them are also receiving an allowance of 1,900 lei (some 420 euro) per month.

In December, the centre-left government of Victor Ponta scrapped the payments and issued an emergency ordinance ordering the revolutionaries to obtain new certificates, certifying that they played an “important role” in the 1989 uprising.

Several submissions, including those from the industry, argued for reduced pack sizes, new warning labels and a trial of real-time monitoring of sales at pharmacies, which is now under way and is seen by many stakeholders as the middle ground between the current situation and the advisory committee's interim decision. But the authority has not updated the public on the process since March. Last November the authority quietly bowed to a push from the Pharmacy Guild, the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia and the Australian Self Medication Industry to complete a "regulation impact statement" (RIS) of the interim decision.

It was


the first time the TGA has referred any Advisory Committee on Medicines Scheduling decisions out for such an assessment. The three lobby groups simultaneously called for the RIS in October last year, arguing the change would have "widespread implications" and claiming it could cost the government more than $300 million, largely in increased GP visits to obtain prescriptions. "This decision represents unnecessary over-regulation and will result in a huge increase in costs for both consumers and government," the ASMI submission reads. But several other health sector groups, including the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners and Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists, have argued for the interim decision to be upheld. The RACGP also argued that "codeine-based over-the-counter medications are "big business" and as a result thereany other matters necessary to protect public health," the authority spokeswoman said. Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists' Dean of the Faculty of Pain Medicine, Dr Chris Hayes, said he supported the real-time monitoring trial and he was concerned that rescheduling could "shift the problem" from pharmacies to doctors surgeries.

But he also said the RIS move was "concerning" and "an odd one", adding it was "a very complicated issue and we know there are a lot of vested interests involved". Public Health Association of Australia chief executive Michael Moore said the final decision "ought to be about the greatest health benefits for the greatest number of people with the least amount of harm". "I think there's a fine balance in pharmaceuticals between industry profits and what's the


most effective way to deliver pharmaceutical goods to the consumer, it ought not to be just about how that effects industry or jobs," he said. A Pharmacy Guild spokesman said the guild called for the RIS because there was "a clear need for the government to undertake a formal RIS as that would consider the wider implications of such an up-scheduling on consumers, manufacturers, pharmacies and doctors". Neither the guild nor ASMI would answer questions on whether the RIS proposal was a coordinated effort. The PSA did not respond to Fairfax Media's questions.

The guild's real-time monitoring trial, MedsAssist, is now operating in more than half the nation's 5500-odd pharmacies, with the guild reporting 53,000 "instances of non-supply" of codeine products as a result. "The strong evidence emerging isthat of all other opioids, accounting for almost two-thirds of all opioid packs sold. Those sales were usually higher in rural and regional areas of the country, likely due to a lack of health services compared to capital cities. From 2000 to 2009, the overall rate of codeine-related deaths in Australia more than doubled, from 3.5 per million in 2000 to 8.7 per million in 2009.

Of those codeine-related deaths 83.7 per cent were the result of multiple drug toxicity. In Australia, average consumption of opioid analgesics has risen from about 3250 units per million people per day over the years 2001-03 to 13,440 per million people per day over the years 2011-2013. Australia was the third highest per capita consumer of opioid analgesics in 2011, after Canada and


that this relocation was not limited to Pharaoh's daughter. He states "Scripture explains: '…for he [Solomon] said, A woman shall not live with me in the city of David'".

Pharaoh's daughter was the only wife to be moved into her own palace.

Solomon's downfall

The narrative in 1 Kings 11:1–10 describes Pharaoh's daughter and all of Solomon's wives as leading Solomon into the temptation of straying from the true worship of the God of Israel.

Divine punishment
1 Kings 11:11–13 says that Solomon's actions caused Yahweh to tell the King that the only thing keeping him from rending the kingdom from him to "give it to thy servant" was "for David thy father's sake". Instead Solomon's punishment would fall on "the hand of thy son" who was to be stripped of all butanalysis that examines the Bible, called higher criticism, the story of Solomon falling into idolatry by the influence of Pharaoh's daughter and his other foreign wives is "customarily seen as the handiwork of the 'deuteronomistic historian(s)'", who are held to have written, compiled, or edited texts to legitimize the reforms of Hezekiah's grandson, King Josiah who reigned from ca 641 BCE to 609 BCE (over 280 years after Solomon's death according to Bible scholars). Scholarly consensus in this field holds that "Solomon's wives/women were introduced in the 'Josianic' (customarily Dtr) edition of Kings as a theological construct to blame the schism [between Judah and the Northern Kingdom of Israel] on his misdeeds". These scholars hold that the "author-compiler [of 1 Kings and 2 Kings] drew upon a contemporary


tradition attributing certain cultic installations (bamoth, or "high places" which were popular sites for religious pilgrims) on the Mount of Olives to Solomon (2 Kings 23:13), from which he inferred that it were Solomon's wives who had led him astray". Most scholars of higher criticism believe that an author-compiler treated a mythological account as a reflection of actual historical events, but that it was "not historical" and probably arose "in Hezekiah's era in conjunction with the reopening of the Silwan cemetery in the slopes of the Mount of Olives". These scholars hold that the "Pharaoh's daughter tradition" was also written or compiled in Hezekiah's time and may have been present in a narrative presentation of history that predated Josiah.

A grief-stricken pet owner killed himself because he struggled to cope with the death of his beloved cat, an inquest heard.Bachelor Michael McAleese, 44, was devastated after 13-year-old tabby cat Sophie died in his arms after suffering a stroke.The recluse - who was not known by his neighbours - was so traumatised by the loss that the dead cat 'slept' on his bed for three days afterwards.Mr McAleese then told a man who came to collect Sophie for cremation that he would kill himself. Five days after the cat's death Mr McAleese posted


a moving video in the moggy's memory on YouTube, which featured pictures of her backed with sad violin music.Unemployed Mr McAleese captioned the video with: 'This is in her memory. She was such a wonderful little cat.

Washington State Insurance Commissioner Mike Kreidler today issued a cease and desist order against CHW Group, Inc., doing business as Choice Home Warranty and http://www.choicehomewarranty.com/.

The company is believed to have sold at least 92 home warranty service contracts to Washington residents. The contracts cover repair or replacement on major systems and appliances in the person's home, and promise that Choice Home Warrant will pay for repair or replacement of those that fail.

The problem: the company isn't authorized to transact insurance in Washington state. Nor is it registered here as a service contract provider.

Kreidler ordered the company to mail a copy of the order to all Washington home warranty service contract customers. The company must also report to the state how much it's collected in

Redstarts on control territories experienced -40% loss of food due to the seasonal nature of the environment. Redstarts on experimental territories experienced -80% declines in food, which closely mimicked natural declines in nearby, low-quality, scrub habitat. Individuals on food-reduced territories did not expand their territories locally, but instead either became non-territorial "floaters" or remained on territory. Regardless of territorial status, food-reduced American Redstarts all deposited fat compared to control birds. Fat deposits provide insurance against the risk of starvation, but, for American Redstarts, came at the expense of maintaining pectoral muscle.

Gmail Is Now 5 Years Old

Gmail has successfully completed the journey of five years. Gmail was launched in April 1, 2004. That time a typical webmail account could only store about ten megabytes of mail, where Gmail came up with 1,000 megabytes (1 gigabyte) of free storage – more than 100 times what most other free webmail services offer that time.

The engineers who created Gmail were frustrated with the existing email solutions, and wanted to build a better tool for people who got a lot of mail, which meant rethinking everything from the ground up. They built an architecture that was a combination of HTML and JavaScript (this later became known as AJAX), which offered a smoother, faster interface. And they designed Gmail with theto go off about her rights to play her music in a public place.

The Intervention of Organizational Characteristics in the Relationship between CRM and Organizational Performance in the Nigerian Insurance Industry

Department of Actuarial Science and Insurance, Faculty of Business Administration, University of Lagos, Nigeria, West Africa.

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to find out if organizational characteristics intervene in the relationship between CRM and organizational performance in the Nigerian insurance industry. Relevant literature was reviewed and a model consisting of fourteen variables was conceptualized and tested by means of empirical data collected through a questionnaire. A total of one hundred and eighty (180) copies of questionnaires were administered, one hundred and forty nine (149) copies were duly completed and returned. This represents a response rate of 82.78%.

Iran's Nuclear Ambition

If I appear to be an over-the-top fangirl of France, it is because they are capable of communicating with the public on the terms of an informed adult. I can't bear US punditry and Main Street editorials, which cater to children.

At first glance, negotiations between the international community and Iran on the nuclear question seem complex, with endless reversals, pressures, blackmail and avowals of sincerity. In reality, thechess match begun in November 2004 between the Troika (France, Germany and Great Britain) and Tehran is a simple affair which cannot hide the obvious--Iran's nuclear ambition is an unambiguous and enduring long-term strategic goal.

For decades, Tehran has been pursuing the Nuclear Dream while issuing repeated denials. Iran has found the financial means to build the ultra-secret installations necessary for the acqusition of expertise in uranium reprocessing. The Shah nourished this ambition; so do the mullahs.

The Europeans are familiar with the story. Years ago, Germany agreed to supply equipment for two Iranian uranium processing plants before later denying the necessary export license. The equipment has been warehoused in Germany for the last 25 years. In 1974, France agreed to grant a billion-franc loan to Iran’s Atomic Energy Commission.


In return, Iran was permitted a 10% share in the European Eurodif Consortium and signed a contract to purchase two atomic power plants from Framatome. This is an old project abandoned after numerous fits and starts.

The Iranians are not discouraged by the obstacles encountered in their nuclear race. Quite the opposite. The awareness of their long history, their stormy nationalism and their geographic location reinforce their ambition. This regional power, endowed with considerable petroleum reserves, believes that a nuclear capability (both military and civilian) is the only weapon capable of countering the pressures of its neighbors. US military bases have sprouted all along its borders—in Iraq, in the Gulf States and in Central Asia. Three new nuclear powers have arisen in this unstable region: India, Pakistan and Israel,a country detested by Tehran, which not only professes desire to cancel it from the map but has the means to inflict damage on it through Lebanese Hezbollah.

Beset by the determination of the Islamic Republic of Iran and its subtle diplomacy, which blows hot and cold, Europe falters. Myopic, Europe did not notice the hardening of Iran’s populist stance during the recent presidential elections. She had fixed her expectations on Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, an Iranian political figure capable of softening his country’s foreign policy. Europe has had to resign herself to the victory of conservative Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Deaf to the signals from Teheran, Europe was unable to decode them.

The Troika, now firmly backed by Washington, continues to wager on the virtues of diplomacy. There is no other

Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei (さよなら 絶望先生 Sayonara Zetsubō Sensei, literally Goodbye, Mr. Despair) is a Japanese manga by Kōji Kumeta, serialized in Weekly Shōnen Magazine. It is a comedy about a teacher who takes all aspects of life, word and culture in the most negative light possible. It satirizes politics, media, and Japanese society. In 2007, the manga received the thirty-first Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen category, and was adapted into a twelve-episode anime series. A second season, titled (Zoku) Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei (【俗・】さよなら絶望先生?, literally (Vulgar) Goodbye, Mr. Despair) aired between January and March 2008. A set of three OVAs titled Goku: Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei (獄・さよなら絶望先生?, literally Prison: Goodbye, Mr. Despair) were produced between October 2008 and February 2009. The first and third volume were bundled with the limitededition of volume fifteen and sixteen of the manga and second volume released separately.

Paul R Selvin's profile

Paul R Selvin

Professor

Paul Selvin earned a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1990. Formally it was in physics, but in reality, it was in biophysics. The last experiment for his thesis, for example, was measuring the torsional rigidity of DNA by looking at a fluorophore intercalated in DNA, twisting around. A paper based on this experiment was published in Science (Selvin, 1992, Science) and later confirmed in a single molecule experiment (Bryant, Nature, 2003).

Professor Selvin did two sets of experiments during his postdoctoral training. One was developing a new type of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) based on lanthanides, called luminescence resonance energy transfer (LRET). He later used this technique to discover how a potassium ion channel, in partresponsible for nerve conduction, responds to voltage (Cha, 1999, Nature; Posson, 2005, Nature). The second involved single molecule fluorescence—the first measurement of FRET between a single donor and single acceptor (Ha, 1996, PNAS).

After joining the Department of Physics at the University of Illinois in 1997, his interest has turned to molecular motors — proteins whose job is moving cargoes around the cell. For example, chromosomes are bound to molecular motors (kinesin and dynein) and under their power, are moved into the two halves of a cell during cell division. Selvin’s task was to determine how the motors moved. They were known to be dimeric, with two “feet,” held together by a head that consumed ATP (the universal food of the cell) and a stalk that bound to the

In an interview and a press conference, Trump either shifted or completely reversed positions on matters of foreign and economic policy, including how to handle China and the future of the Federal Reserve chairwoman.

Labeling China a currency manipulator

Trump told the Wall Street Journal on Wednesday that China is not artificially deflating the value of its currency, a big change after he repeatedly pledged during his campaign to label the country a currency manipulator.

"They’re not currency manipulators," the president said, adding that China hasn’t been manipulating its currency for months, and that he feared derailing U.S.-China talks to crack down on North Korea.

Ahimsā (Ahiṃsā) in
JainismJainism is a fundamental principle forming the
cornerstone of its ethics and doctrine. The term ahimsa means
nonviolence, non-injury or absence of desire to harm any life forms.
VegetarianismVegetarianism and other nonviolent practices and rituals of Jains flow
from the principle of ahimsa. The
JainJain concept of ahimsa is very
different from the concept of nonviolence found in other philosophies.
Violence is usually associated with causing harm to others. But
according to the
JainJain philosophy, violence refers primarily to
injuring one's own self – behaviour which inhibits the soul's own
ability to attain moksha (liberation from the cycle of births and
deaths).[1] At the same time it also means violence to others because
it is this tendency to harm others that ultimately harms one's own

["Beyond Tetris" is a column from Tony "Tablesaw" Delgado about puzzle games that transcend mere abstract action and instead plunge deep into the heart of problem-solving. This installment looks at one of the most commonly available PC puzzle games: Minesweeper.]

Though Microsoft claims that Vista will usher in a new age of PC gaming, the first thing it will do is usher in the old age of PC gaming. Despite hardcore clamoring for high-end graphics-card-melting titles, the only games that the majority of people care about are the ones they've been playing for years, the ones that are ready with no complications whenever the urge to do something other than work arises, the ones that are packed in with Windows—Hearts, Klondike, Mah Jongg Solitaire,a distance after definitively locating your prey.

When games like Quicksilva's Mined Out ; Virgin Interactive's Yomp ; and Conway, Hong and Smith's Reletless Logic appeared in the '80s, they looked like Cube on the surface: move from one point to another avoiding randomly placed mines. But in terms of solving, the games played more like Wumpus : move along safe areas, then put all the information to use locating the hidden dangers. Tom Anderson's Mines later added a feature that let you mark suspected mines with flags. And the stage was finally set for the Minesweeper to (ahem) explode onto the scene.

Dropping the Bombshell

The Minesweeper that we all know and love was created by Robert Donner and Curt Johnson while they were working at Microsoft. It was first

Nigeria: Delay in trial of Amina Lawal

Source:

BBC

An appeal, due to begin in northern Nigeria for Amina Lawal, a Muslim woman convicted of adultery and sentenced to death by stoning, has been postponed because the judges failed to turn up.

The BBC reports that Amina's appeal has now been delayed until after next month's elections. Although no reason was given for the failure of the judges to turn up, the clear inference being made is that the decision was political. That is because the holding of such a case during election campaigning could have inflamed tensions, never far from the surface, between Muslims and Christians.very engaged with you in one moment, but then very disengaged.” But like Wozniak, she believed that the reality distortion field was empowering: It enabled Jobs to inspire his team to change the course of computer history with a fraction of the resources of Xerox or IBM.

The storm, in a weakened state, is now spreading heavy rains and strong winds into mainland China.

According to the Associated Press, at least two people have died and 72 were injured in the typhoon.

At the time of the storm's landfall just south of Taitung City at 6:30 a.m. on Friday, local time, the storm was classified as a Category 4 Super Typhoon, though it was weaker than its peak as a Category 5 storm earlier in the week.

The ‘suspicious object alert’ in the vicinity of Cambridge House School has come to an end according to local residents.

The school was evacuated at lunchtime after the discovery of ‘suspicious objects’ on the school grounds.

It is the third such alert in less than a month in the area.

Mrs Elma Lutton, principal of Cambridge House Grammar school commented: “Following the discovery of items on the grounds of the school, the PSNI were contacted immediately. The school was then evacuated, as a precautionary measure, on the advice of the PSNI. The safety of pupils at the school is of extreme importance and at no time was this compromised.”

The factual background giving rise to this controversy is rather simple and straightforward. From October 1, 1979 through March 31, 1983, Rowe was in the business of selling video game machines to video arcades and other businesses. In exchange for a quarter, the player of a video game was permitted control over the video game machine. Each machine would display a game that the player could play for as long as his or her quarters and skill permitted. These machines were large and heavy, and could not be moved easily. All of Rowe's sales were final. Rowe retained no right to share in its customers' income from the machines.
STATUTORY BACKGROUND
During the taxable periods at issue in


is exempt from the tax because it is a sale for rental.
The Department appealed the hearing officer's proposed decision and in June 1986, the director of the Department reversed, concluding that the public's use of coin-operated video game machines was not a rental, and that the initial sale of these machines was not a sale for resale. The director ruled:
The initial sale is a sale of tangible personal property which is used and consumed in the arcade operator's business. The use of the machines by the general public is a sale of services.
Rowe in turn appealed this order to the Arizona State Board of Tax Appeals, Division Two, pursuant to A.R.S. § 42-1338.01.[3] After a hearing, the board denied Rowe's appeal, and later denied Rowe's motion for reviewrefund of the amount paid under protest, with interest and attorneys' fees. In doing so, the tax court held:
A review of the language of ARS 42-1314 A 1 has convinced the Court that the use of the word games therein does not include coin operated video games. In light of the other activities listed in Paragraph A 1, the Court finds a more reasonable interpretation to be that the word, "games," means, contests the revenue from which comes from spectators. "Games" may also include contests between parties in which the revenue is derived from entrance fees.
The Court holds that the operation of a video game machine, where the machinery responds to the manipulation of the player who had paid for the right to play, and, is controlled by


There are two issues that making trying to reschedule the game at another site in Charleston or moving the game to Atlanta challenging:

• The first is that Charleston has a USL game on Saturday at Tampa. That game and the required travel eliminates playing the Open Cup game on Friday or Sunday. Trying to play on Thursday or Monday also would be less than ideal because of the travel.

• The second is the next round of the tournament begins as early as June 18 and can be played as late as June 23.

There are still possibilities:

• The game could be rescheduled for another site in the Charleston area for early next week. Officials visited the College of Charleston's soccer stadium Tuesday night to see if it could hostthe game on Wednesday. The Battery put out a statement late Tuesday saying the game couldn't be played on Wednesday because of the pending rain.

• The game could be moved to Atlanta and played at Kennesaw State's Fifth Third Bank Stadium, which hosts Atlanta United's USL team, Atlanta United 2, and is already wired to broadcast events on TV. However, Charleston may not want to give up its rights to host.

• Charleston could also forfeit.

According to U.S. Open Cup rules, "In the event that the game cannot be rescheduled for the next day and the teams involved cannot within 24 hours of cancellation reach agreement on a new match date that is within 7 days of the originally scheduled date, the Commissioner will set the date."

Blair Underwood Doesn't Shy Away From Sexy Time in Ironside

Chat with us on Facebook Messenger. Learn what's trending across POPSUGAR.

Blair Underwood and the cast of Ironside took to the TCA stage today to talk about, among many other things, some of the taboos of putting a main character in a wheelchair — especially when that character is a cop. Underwood and his costars, including Greek's Spencer Grammer, filled reporters in on why their new show is (almost) nothing like the original, and what viewers can expect to see this season.

The show is a remake of the 1967 series of the same name, but one big difference between Underwood's Robert Ironside and the original TV detective? Underwood isn't afraid of a little sexy time just becausehe's in a wheelchair. He definitely doesn't shy away from it in the pilot, and when asked whether sex scenes were stipulated in his contract, Underwood joked, "No, my wife made sure of that."

In fact, Underwood explained that they're taking quite a few liberties with the story: "We took his name, the fact that he's a detective, and the fact that he's in a wheelchair." Underwood and the producers did explain that they were going for a '70s police movie feel, "specifically The French Connection and Serpico, at the same time not feeling dated," said Underwood.

Grammer admitted the police drama Ironside is quite different than her past show, Greek: "I love doing comedy — it's great — but I wanted to do something more serious." She's not the


UEFA postpones all national teams’ matches scheduled for June

2 April 2020 14:50

:

MOSCOW. KAZINFORM The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) has postponed indefinitely all national teams’ matches, which were scheduled for June, the press service of the European governing body of football announced in a statement on Wednesday.

The decision was made by the UEFA Executive Committee following a videoconference meeting on Wednesday with the general secretaries of all 55 UEFA member associations and recommendations made by the working groups created on March 17, TASS reports.

«All national team matches for men and women due to be played in June 2020 are postponed until further notice,» the statement reads. «This includes the play-off matches for UEFA Euro 2020 and qualifying matches for UEFA Women’s Euro 2021.»

The UEFA Executive Committee alsoruled to cancel the UEFA European Under-17 Championship final tournament and the UEFA European Women’s Under-19 Championship final tournament. The UEFA European Women’s Under-17 Championship final tournament (scheduled for May) and the UEFA European Under-19 Championship final tournament (scheduled for July) have been postponed until further notice.

«All other UEFA competition matches, including the centralized international friendly matches, remain postponed until further notice,» the statement added.

As of today, all European national football tournaments, with the exception of the championship in Belarus, have been suspended over the ongoing global spread of the novel coronavirus.

On March 17, UEFA decided to postpone the 2020 UEFA Euro Cup for exactly one year as a preventive measure against the COVID-19 spread. The championship is now scheduled to be held between June 11 and July


11, 2021.

In late December 2019, Chinese authorities notified the World Health Organization (WHO) about the outbreak of a previously unknown pneumonia in the city of Wuhan, in central China. Since then, cases of the novel coronavirus - named COVID-19 by the WHO - have been reported in every corner of the globe, including Russia.

On March 11, 2020, the WHO declared the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic. To date, more than 885,860 people have been infected worldwide and over 44,200 deaths have been reported.

So far, a total of 2,777 coronavirus cases have been confirmed in Russia, with 190 patients having recovered from the illness. The country’s latest data indicates 24 fatalities nationwide. Earlier, the Russian government set up an Internet hotline to keep the public informed about the coronavirus situation.$9,791.15. In 1989, Ohio National notified Rust of a dividend in the amount of $9,978.66. On November 14, 1989, Rust requested that the dividends be paid to him in cash rather than accumulating on the policy. Accordingly, on November 27, Ohio National paid Rust $20,824.07, which included the two dividends plus interest. Thereafter, Ohio National sent Rust the following dividends: $10,188.97 in 1990; $10,353.68 in 1991; $10,533.03 in 1992; and $8,057.39 in 1993.
On approximately November 18, 1994, Ohio National notified Rust that the dividends paid to him since 1988 were paid by mistake and demanded that Rust reimburse the company in the sum of $59,286.09. Rust refused to do so, and on June 16, 1995, Ohio National commenced this action against him to recover the dividends.
Ohio National's petition


these are your dividends. You can spend them.'"
Rust further alleged that upon receipt of the dividend check in 1990, he again called Ohio National and was told that the check was his. Rust stated that he had no way of determining how much the annual dividends should or would be, that he relied on the representations of Ohio National, and that he believed he had a right to the dividends paid.
In support of its motion for summary judgment, Ohio National submitted two affidavits by Trudy Backus, vice president of individual insurance services. Backus alleged that Rust's policy amount mistakenly appeared on a computer as $271,750 rather than $2,718. The error allegedly occurred on November 11, 1987, when the amount of paid-up insurance was entered into the computer system.Backus explained that Ohio National calculates dividends for paid-up policies on the basis of the amount of insurance available in the policy and that any information requested by Rust or his local agent would have been based on the same computer error.
On each policy's anniversary, the computer system generates a status sheet to advise policyholder services associates to prepare a dividend check payable to the policyholder. Backus' affidavit alleged that the computer error in question was discovered sometime after November 10, 1994, when a status sheet was generated for Rust's policy and delivered to the policyholder services department. An experienced associate in the department received the status sheet, noticed that the sheet appeared peculiar, and requested that the policy file be sent to him. The mistake was alleged


Refugees record 65.6 million globally as South Sudan exodus soars

In 2016, 22.5 million refugees fled their home country - the highest number since the agency was founded in 1950.

At the end of 2016, there were some 40.3 million IDPs in the world, down slightly from 40.8 million a year earlier, with Syria, Iraq and Colombia accounting for the greatest numbers.

UNHCR is also running projects in Burkina Faso, to establish a dairy micro-enterprise owned by women's groups to supply milk to refugee families, in Ethiopia, to provide clean water for 95,000 in refugees and host populations, and in Democratic Republic of Congo to provide sexual and gender-based violence prevention and response programs. Syria, Iraq, and the still very significant displacement inside Colombia were the biggest internal displacement situations, nonethelessthe problem of internal displacement is a worldwide one and accounts for nearly two thirds of the global forced displacement total.

South Sudan, the world´s fastest growing refugee crisis, has by now forced 1.9 million people to flee across the border.

"Turkey continues to be for the third consecutive year, the largest hosting country", said Grandi. That's 300,000 more people than the year before. Most fled the conflict in South Sudan.

There are plans to expand the programme and open similar sites throughout the country to give assistance and hope to millions of displaced people, although both hope and cash are in short supply.

The latest annual global trends study from the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) reports that one person was forced to leave their home every three seconds in 2016.


The total figure includes refugees, asylum-seekers and people uprooted inside their own countries.

Among displaced people living there is Anjelina, who fled her home with her three children two years ago, first settling in one of the protection sites. The report attributed that slight reduction in part to people who had returned to their homes, offsetting the number of new people who had fled.

"Tragically, 75,000 asylum claims were received from children travelling alone or separated from their parent". There were another 2.8 million asylum seekers, the report said.

- Turkey hosts the largest number of refugees (2.9 million) followed by Pakistan (1.4 mln) and Lebanon (1 mln).

"The richest and most stable countries from Europe to the United States do their uttermost to keep refugees away".

Global Trends is a statistical assessmentof forced displacement, and as such a number of key developments in the refugee world in 2016 are not captured.

He said the government is carrying out an "urgent inspection" of other tower blocks in Britain to assess safety. Residents caught up in the fire have previously condemned the relief effort as "absolute chaos".

All shops and other business establishments remained closed in the town while public transport is off the roads. Police said the civilians were killed in the crossfire between militants and the government forces.

Chasing 339 for victory, due in no small part to a disappointing bowling display, India sank to 158 all out in 30.3 overs. Mohammad Hafeez hailed Pakistan's team spirit as the key to their stunning Champions Trophy final triumph against India .

But both appearances,
