A pensioner who lives “off grid” in a cabin he built in a remote forest in the Scottish Highlands has been airlifted to hospital after his distress signal was picked up thousands of miles away in Texas.

The man, known locally simply as Ken, is in his 70s and is thought to have lived around 13 miles east of Fort William, for more than 25 years.

Rescuers said he “saved his life” by activating a personal satellite tracker beacon on Sunday, after becoming unwell.

The signal was picked up in Houston, at a centre that monitors satellite signals from locator beacons, before being relayed to the UK Coastguard.

A Coastguard search and rescue helicopter was unable to reach him because of the thick woodland in the area, but flew members of theLochaber Mountain Rescue team to the scene.

John Stevenson, the team leader, said: "The helicopter winchman ascertained that the chap was unwell and needed to be taken to hospital. He has lived off grid in that area for quite some time.

"We got a call around 9pm to take seven of us by helicopter to as close as the aircraft could land. We then reached the man's dwelling and took him by stretcher to the helicopter. It was a very well co-ordinated rescue."


Todd Charlesworth was selected by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the second round of the 1983 NHL Entry Draft, 22nd overall. He played junior in the OHL with the Oshawa Generals for two years in the early 1980s and was on the 1983 Generals team that won the OHL championship. The team advanced to the Memorial Cup final, losing 8-3 to Portland of the WHL, who were led by the likes of Cam Neely and Ken Yaremchuk.

He first gained national fame as a participant in the prestigious "AAA" Air Canada Midget Tournament, playing for the Gloucester Rangers back in 1981. Scouts at that time felt he had the necessary skills to one day play at the professional level, and they were right.

WHEN Sydney PR executive Roxy Jacenko announced that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer, she claimed that stress could have played a role in her condition.

The 36-year-old founder of Sweaty Better PR has had a rough few weeks.

Her husband Oliver Curtis is currently serving time at Parklea Correctional Centre in Sydney’s west, after being convicted of insider trading last month. He was sentenced to a maximum of two years in prison but will be released after one year on a good behaviour bond.

The couple have two children — Pixie, 4, and Hunter, 2 — and Jacenko is now a single mother.

PvdA Locked in Conflict with Local Leader

THE HAGUE, 18/03/14 - Osman Suna, who had resigned as the Labour (PvdA) leader in Soest due to vote-rigging, has decided not to give up his post after all. He is now considering a court case against party leader Diederik Samsom, who he describes as a "despot." TV programme Pownews last week showed how Suna tried to persuade mosque visitors who were not going to vote to give up their ballot papers so that others could bring out a vote for them. He then resigned, apparently under pressure from the PvdA leadership. But the Turk has since changed his mind. He will still appear at the top of the PvdA election list in Soest, he said at a press conference. He criticisedMeet the Team

Mortgage Broker - Registered Financial Adviser

Kim is an expert in arranging mortgages, home loans, and commercial finance with both bank and non bank alternative lenders, and has in-depth knowledge
and experience in mortgages and finance, with a National Certificate in Financial Services (Financial Advice) (Level 5) in both Residential Property
and Insurance Advice.

Kim Lyons has 23 years of experience in banking with ANZ Bank, and 17 years of experience in Auckland as a mortgage broker. His previous position, prior
to the global recession, was as a founding director of one of New Zealand's fastest growing mortgage broker operations, New Zealand Mortgage Finance
Ltd.

A family man with two grown-up children, Kim has now moved from his home office to commercial premises in Orewa with his support team. Kim and his


wife have
been living in Orewa for just over five years, having moved from Auckland's North Shore. They love the awesome beach, plus still having easy access to the
motorway so can get his clients quickly. While Kim still enjoys working with his Auckland clients, he is excited about the amount of residential new
builds in the Orewa / Millwater / Silverdale area, and sees some great opportunities to help new home buyers and investors nationwide, with low deposit new builds
or construction finance, especially with the restrictive Reserve Bank rules on deposit amounts.

Kim has a passion for helping people arrange mortgages, and enjoys meeting clients to help them achieve their dreams, or in these challenging times, finding
solutions that their bank manager or current mortgage broker may have said were impossible.

Many ofrespectively. Whenever an outbreak was suspected, only the initial case was included in the study. Consequently, 12 and 8 patients were excluded from the 2007 and 2009 surveys, respectively. Survey data from 222 case-control pairs in the 2007 study, and from 548 pairs in the 2009 study, were used in the analysis.

Survey variables
----------------

In the 2007 survey, the variables of interest included gender, age, occupation, and exposure to HAV transmission through contact with family members living in the same household and non-family members, shared communal facilities such as orphanages and nursing homes, sexual behaviors, everyday contact, medical contact, use of syringes, overseas travel, intake of raw shellfish (including oysters, mussels, and clams) or other raw foods, and types of water used for drinking 2-6 weeks before diagnosis. It was


other routes: 43 (80%) through regular everyday contact, 1 (2%) through sexual contact, 3 (6%) through medical contact as health care worker and 4 (7%) through the use of common syringes. The remaining three respondents reported routes not covered by the surveys. Factors that did not show any significant association with HAV infection were medical professionals, communal living such as orphanages and nursing homes, living with children ≤ 12 yr, washing hands, using personal towels, and sharing glasses when drinking alcohol.

Overseas travel was associated with HAV infection only in the 2007 survey.

Kurt Tank was a German aircraft designer most famous for his work as lead designer and technical director at Focke-Wulf AG. Tank joined the company in 1931 and started working on Fw 44 civilian and military training biplane - the first Focke-Wulf project to become commercially successful. Not only a talented engineer, Tank was skilful pilot at the same time, he tested the aircraft he designed himself.

The work that made him widely recognized as one of geniuses of aircraft engineering was the


and one that could absorb a reasonable amount of battle damage and still get back. This was the background thinking behind the Focke-Wulf 190; it was not to be a racehorse but a cavalry horse.”

Tank’s fighter justified the engineer’s expectations: durable, heavily armed and universal, it could adapt to any role from ground attack to high altitude interception. Adopting state-of-the-art technological decisions such as a bubble canopy and a new engine cooling system, the Fw 190 was one of the most advanced mass produced aircraft of World War II.

The designer’s efforts were well acknowledged. Kurt Tank was named honourary Professor and was tributed by having the prefix Ta (for Tank) added to his later designs. Among them was the Ta 152 high altitude interceptor - the most sophisticatedderivation of the Fw 190 line.

After World War II Kurt Tank realised that he needed to continue his career abroad. After negotiating with the USSR and Britain he decided to move to Argentina. There Tank worked on the FMA IAe 33 Pulqui II jet fighter project. Later he joined the Indian Hindustan Aeronautics company to design the HAL HF-24 Marut for the Indian Air Force and came back to Germany as a MBB consultant. Kurt Tank died in Munich in 1983.

vote together. It's an outlier when a handful of members "cross the aisle" to vote against their party. This makes the stance of the party front and center, and it very much seems that congress members first serve their party before the people of their state.
Is this an attitude change between the nations on how political parties are ran? If a political party has the power to Three Line Whip, why not do it more?

A:

Yes, a party could pass the equivalent of a three line whip on every single division. However most votes in the House of Commons simply aren't important enough or likely enough to be affected for such a hardline policy to be effective.

An overall cap on government spending on benefits will start in 2015, the Chancellor George Osborne has announced in his Autumn Statement. The idea of a 'welfare spending' cap was first put forward by the Chancellor earlier in the year in his 2013 Budget.

There was a 'surprising' standstill during the last decade in poverty reduction in Europe, despite generally positive political and economic circumstances, says a new report from an


Antwerp-based think tank.

The researchers analyse trends found in large-scale cross-country datasets, in particular the European Community Household Panel (ECHP) and the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC).

Two government programmes aimed at helping families with multiple problems will miss their targets unless improvements are made, according to a report from the National Audit Office.

One programme, Troubled Families, was introduced by the DCLG to ‘turn around’ in three years the lives of 120,000 families identified as facing multiple challenges. A second, Families with Multiple Problems, is designed by the DWP to move 22 per cent of people in families with multiple problems towards employment within three years.

The coalition government has been warned by MPs not to weaken its commitment to eliminate fuel poverty. A report published bythe Environmental Audit Committee highlights government moves to redefine the number of people who can be counted as ‘fuel poor’, which will reduce the figure from 3.2 million to 2.4 million households overnight.

Deprived areas across England and Scotland are seeing larger cuts to local authority budgets – of around £100 per head – than in more affluent ones, according to a new report published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.

The JRF research analyses the scale and pattern of cuts in spending on local government in England and Scotland since 2010. It also includes detailed analysis of the approaches taken by three local councils (Newcastle, Coventry and Milton Keynes).

There is a strong anti-poverty consensus among all local organisations in Glasgow (Scotland), according to a paper from a European Union-funded research


programme. And a real commitment exists among political parties, the authors find, to work in partnership to meet the needs of those in poverty – though subject to the constraints of a highly centralised benefits system.

As many as 19.6 per cent more people in England and Wales died during the winter months in 2012-13 compared with the non-winter months – up from 15.5 per cent in 2011-12 – according to new figures released by the Office for National Statistics.

Official figures for the level of benefits received by households have been revealed as a result of a freedom of information request.

A table published by the Department for Work and Pensions shows the average amount of benefits and/or tax credits paid between April 2011 and March 2012, in bands of£1,000. The payments relate to 'benefit units' – defined as a single adult, or a married or cohabiting couple and any dependent children. The figures include income from the full range of benefits, for all ages, including working-age benefits (income related and otherwise), disability benefits, retirement pension and child benefit, as well as tax credits.

in a Facebook post that was later picked up by Love What Matters.

According to the caption, Langman first encountered her soon-to-be client when she spotted the woman browsing Ulta's products, looking for anything that could fix her matted hair, and asked if she needed help. The stranger explained that she'd been suffering from a deep bout of depression, preventing her from getting out of bed for months – meaning she hadn't washed or combed her hair in that time. Pulling it back into a bun for so long had caused it to become matted beyond repair – or so she thought. Langman made an appointment for the woman, but she was a no-show, disappointing the stylist who wanted to help her. Weeks later, the woman turned up atthe salon unexpectedly, but Langman accommodated her.

"I didn't care how late I stayed, I wanted to make sure she got taken care of," the stylist wrote. Noting that, typically, when hair is this far gone, it's usually just recommended to cut it off, Langman instead went out of her way to honor her client's request to keep it long if possible. According to her caption, she spent a total of 8 and a half hours with the woman, half of which were just spent combing out all of the many knots.

For Langman, the lengthy appointment was well worth it. By the look of the after photos, the hair makeover was a huge success, and the client was pleased, too. "By the end of this service, I could see

Mouton Cadet joins an august family of Ryder Cup sponsors and Hugues Lechanoine, Managing Director of Baron Philippe de Rothschild SA, commented: “In 1930, just three years after the first Ryder Cup was played, Mouton Cadet was created by the Baron Philippe de Rothschild. I am thrilled to see that almost a century later we share, under the same etiquette, the values of tradition, elegance, conviviality and respect. José María has made us a real honor to bring the Ryder Cup for everyone to admire. We share the same passions – a love of golf and fine wines – and we look forward to an exciting and fruitful partnership.”

Scott Kelly, Group Marketing

The Feast of the Transfiguration is celebrated August 6, yet the gospel passage itself is closely associated with the beginning of Lent. The Revised Common Lectionary proclaims it on the Sunday before Lent while the Catholic Lectionary does so on the Second Sunday of Lent. Both lectionaries give the First Sunday of Lent over to the temptation of Jesus in the desert.

Why should the Transfiguration story – which each of the synoptic gospels places about midway in the course of things – mark our yearly return to the Lenten journey? Standard answers include that the association is already implicit

WHEN YOU TALK AS I HAVE TO HIS FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES, WHO HAVE KNOWN HIM THROUGHOUT HIS CAREER, HE WAS SOMEONE THAT EVERYONE ADMIRES. YOU KNOW THEY WOULD ALWAYS BE THERE TO BACK YOU UP. THAT WAS CUT SHORT. BUT I KNOW FOR THE DIFFERENCE -- CORPORAL DICKSON'S DEATHFor the love of President Donald Trump, a person appears to have stolen someone's identity to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize — for the second year in a row.

Olav Njolstad, director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute and secretary of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, which awards the Peace Prize, said via e-mail that it appears the same person is responsible for both forged nominations. The perpetrator had pretended to be someone else to make the nomination, Njolstad said — someone who was qualified.

"We receive many invalid nominations each year in the sense that they don't meet the deadline or the nominator is not in fact qualified to nominate," Njolstad said. "But to my knowledge this is the first example of a forged nomination where someone has stolen


the identity of another person."

Njolstad said he discovered that the Trump nominations were forged when he called the person whose name was listed as the nominator, who confirmed that the nominations were a fraud. Njolstad declined to reveal the identity or gender of that person. He has filed a report with the Oslo Police District for investigation.

Oslo Inspector Rune Skjold, head of the economic crimes section, said police did not know the location of the person who sent the forged nominations when asked whether they came from the United States. However, he said Oslo police have contacted the FBI for assistance. The perpetrator, he said, had used the same false identity two years in a row.

The process for Nobel Prize nominations and selections is secretive and has beenso since the prize's inception in 1901. The names of the nominees and any information about how the winners were selected cannot be revealed for 50 years. Nominators must meet various criteria to qualify. They can be, among other things, members of national governments or heads of states, certain university professors, former Peace Prize winners and current and former members or advisers of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

Njolstad said the committee routinely reviews nominations for authenticity, "and this time the routine check showed there was cause for concern." He said he was limited in the details he could provide because of the ongoing police investigation.

This year, there are 329 candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize, the second-highest number of candidates ever, just behind 2016's 376 candidates. Of the 329


candidates, 217 are individuals and 112 are organizations. Last year's winner was the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, of Switzerland.

Over the past 10 years, Nobel Peace Prize winners have included Malala Yousafzai in 2014, who had been attacked by the Taliban after campaigning for girls' education in Pakistan; Liu Xiabo in 2010, the Chinese dissident who was imprisoned by China at the time he was awarded the prize; and President Barack Obama in 2009, whose selection was controversial given he had just sent more than 30,000 troops to Afghanistan a week before accepting it and it was only months into his presidency. Obama is one of four U.S. presidents who have been awarded the prize. The others were Jimmy Carter, Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.capital stock of HOC from its president, Frederic Hamilton, and other members of his family, and a subsequent tender offer made by Volvo to HOC's other stockholders. It was alleged that, as a result of Volvo's acquisition of Hamilton's stock, it became the owner of some 32% of the outstanding shares of HOC's common stock. Volvo agreed to pay $19.25 per share for Hamilton's stock, plus additional payments over a five-year period, based upon the net additions made to the proven oil and gas reserves of HOC during that period. In addition, the agreement between Volvo and Hamilton provided that Hamilton would have his HOC salary increased from $132,000 to $300,000 per year.
After Volvo's acquisition of the stock previously owned by Hamilton, Volvo made a tender offer to


against him and in favor of HOC for all of his profits under that agreement.
The second claim for relief was asserted against all of the members of HOC's board of directors. This claim was based upon allegations that, in taking a position of *666 neutrality concerning Volvo's offer, the members of the board had violated their duty of reasonable care by failing to apprise themselves of the value of the HOC stock, of the price that was paid to Hamilton for the stock sold by him, of the value of certain North Sea oil reserves owned by HOC, and of the existence of other willing purchasers of the HOC stock. Plaintiffs sought a judgment against the directors and in favor of HOC for any damages sustained by itDOWNEY, Calif. (KABC) -- An armed chase suspect who held hostages at a Downey restaurant was captured on video leaving a message for his family before being fatally shot by authorities.Eddie Tapia bid a final farewell to his family in a video that was recorded on a cellphone belonging to one of the hostages.Pedro Mata, who did not want to be shown on camera, said that he tried convincing Tapia to turn himself in while he recorded the video."It's hard. It's hard. I can see the whole thing replaying, replaying," he said. "I tried to give him encouraging words. Maybe he didn't hear them too much. He talked about his kids a lot. He talked about being in jail a lot, being away from his family."The 41-year-old gunman


admitted to hostages that he was high on meth and was hiding a gun in his pocket. The four hostages, who were all recovering addicts, tried to help Tapia.But Tapia did not give himself up and instead was shot by authorities after he tried to reach for his gun when SWAT members gained access into the restaurant.What the hostages witnessed will not be forgotten, especially for Mata who was so close he ended up covered in Tapia's blood.Mata said the saddest part for him was seeing a father so deep in his addiction.or drawing out their hairstyles.

the sentence.
In 1989, a petition seeking to revoke the Defendant's community corrections sentence was filed by the Defendant's caseworker because the Defendant had been arrested for shoplifting and DUI. An evidentiary hearing was held which revealed that the Defendant was apparently not intoxicated with alcohol while driving, but was taking prescription pain medication because her lower teeth had been knocked out in an accident. Concerning the shoplifting arrest, the proof revealed that the Defendant was with a male companion (who testified at the evidentiary hearing) shopping. After realizing that she had forgotten to pick up a certain item, she gave several items that she was carrying and intended to buy to the companion to take to the counter. Instead of going to the counter, the companion concealed theitems on his person, left the store, and drove away after store employees confronted him. Two hours later, the companion called the store and admitted that he was responsible for the crime and that the Defendant did not know anything about it. He also informed the prosecutor's office that he was the responsible party. According to the Defendant and her companion, Defendant did not see him conceal the merchandise and was unaware that he had even left the store. The State did not offer any evidence regarding the two offenses cited in the revocation petition.
The State's proof consisted solely of the testimony of Joyce Henderson who had been the Defendant's caseworker for approximately one year. Ms. Henderson stated that she filed the petition only to notify the court


that the Defendant had been arrested as was her usual custom when one of her charges got into trouble. She stated without equivocation that it was not her intention for the trial court to revoke the Defendant's community correction sentence *81 because the Defendant had been remarkably responsive to the program. She also noted that the Defendant had completed house arrest for 180 days, was employed full-time, had nearly completed her community service hours, had paid her court costs, and was attending alcohol and drug meetings. Ms. Henderson also indicated that the Defendant was taking steps to complete her education and, for the first time in her life, was supporting her five children at home. Finally, the caseworker testified that the Defendant had made noticeable improvement in allaspects of her life, opining that she would be an excellent candidate to continue in the program because substantial and meaningful steps were being made toward rehabilitation.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the court revoked the community corrections sentence, indicating that the Defendant had used up her last opportunity for freedom when she was arrested. The court ordered her to serve the balance of her sentence: "A flat three, just like I promised you. You're to flatten three years, lady." The trial court's written order indicates that the Defendant "violated the terms and conditions of the order of sentence", but fails to specify the precise nature of the violation or identify which condition or term was violated. After undertaking a de novo review, the Court of Criminal Appeals


of the Court of Criminal Appeals that the Defendant was in full compliance with the conditions of her community corrections sentence and that her attitude, accomplishments, and continued desire to rehabilitate herself demonstrate how a community corrections sentence can work for the good of the individual involved, as well as for society. Perhaps the most significant testimony contained in the record in this regard came from the Defendant's caseworker, Joyce Henderson. Henderson stated that she felt that the program had been successful with the Defendant, noting that the Defendant attends church and is well liked in her community, diligently works with those attempting to help her within the program, and always calls if there are any problems or concerns. She also indicated that the Defendant regularly attended alcoholand drug group therapy sessions throughout the year in which the Defendant was involved in the program and, further, during that time she had submitted to urine tests, all of which had come back negative. The caseworker testified that when the Defendant first began the program she was a "street junkie, a thief, liar, and not a very nice person." Now, however, the Defendant has been enhancing her job skills and increasing her opportunity for better employment, thereby permitting her to become a contributing member of society. Moreover, the Defendant is supporting her five children and her disabled mother, all of which live in the Defendant's home. Moreover, as stated previously, the caseworker indicated that it was not her intention for the trial judge to revoke the community

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - An Oregon woman is suing the U.S. State Department for declining to issue her a U.S. passport even though her lawyer says she presented federal government officials with a certified birth certificate from a California hospital.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon filed the suit Tuesday in federal court in Medford on behalf of Maria Qarrillo Soto, who has lived in Oregon for 30 years, the Oregonian/OregonLive reported .

Soto, of White City, was denied a U.S. passport in 2018 despite providing government officials with her original birth certificate and copies of her Social Security card, driver’s license and marriage certificate, according to her lawyer Leland Baxter-Neal of the ACLU.

The government denied the passport, telling her the material she presented was “not sufficient to establishand other identification, her lawyer said.

“The misspelling of her name is like a quirk in the case but everything she submitted proves her identity,” Baxter-Neal said.

Her parents, who are now deceased, worked in agriculture in Los Angeles and took their daughter to Mexico to be raised by her grandparents when she was an infant. During her childhood, Soto returned to the U.S. about once a year between 8 and 17, crossing the border by presenting her birth certificate, according to the suit.

Soto returned to live in the U.S. in 1989 at 18, settling in Klamath Falls, Oregon.

CAPE TOWN (Reuters) - Eight people have been killed and thousands forced from their homes as South Africa’s tourist base Cape Town and surrounding areas were hit by the worst winter storm in 30 years, officials said on Wednesday.

The storm is expected to dump more than two inches (50 mm) of rain in some areas and trigger waves of up to 12 meters, the South African Weather Service said in warnings.

Millions of people in shanty towns, who have previously had to cope with the region’s worst drought in a century, have been hardest hit, with floods and heavy rain washing away homes built of planks and zinc sheets.

The Basketball Hall of Fame’s Jerry West Award is handed to the best college basketball player at the shooting guard position. Indiana Basketball’s James Blackmon Jr. is a finalist for 2017.

The first two recipients of the Jerry West Award include New Orleans Pelicans Buddy Hield (2016 – Oklahoma) and the Los Angeles Lakers’ De’Angelo Russell (2015 – Ohio State). Both were NBA lottery picks and among the best players in college basketball.

Indiana’s James Blackmon Jr. has been selected as one of the 10 finalistsfor the award in 2017. Blackmon has averaged 30.4 min per game with 17.6 points per game, 4.9 rebounds, and shooting 49.6% from the field. Blackmon’s most recent success came against Michigan State, scoring a season high 33 points.

Few are expecting him to win the award, but the honor is worth noting. The company Blackmon is a part of is among the NCAA’s best players. Luke Kennard and Malik Monk are considered the favorites. James Blackmon’s injury diminishes his chance of winning the award. The time table for James Blackmon Jr. is unclear after suffering an injury against Michigan on January 26th.

Here is a list of all the award finalists.

2 Responses to The Federal Education Budget: Teapot, Meet Tempest

Things haven’t changed in over 50 years. I am a retired employee of The Los Angeles Unified School District, and I remember when the “Federal” Department of Education was created. The argument then against a DOE was that for every dollar sent to D.C. a State, for instance California, would receive 10 cents back.

All States, in my opinion, would see an increase in their education funding if they just kept their tax dollars in theirrespective States and close down the Federal DOE.

Why SPA getaway in Bulgaria? Because of the richness of 240 hot springs that have been enjoyed since ancient times by the Thracians and especially by the connoisseurs of balneotherapy - the Romans. There are many hot springs that are built by them and you can enjoy today – like in Hisaria small town that has had its SPA reputation since ancient times. The Roman Emperor Diocletian (244-311 AD) had appreciated it and he has made large constructions in the cities: baths, walls. Bulgaria's ancient history is everywhere - in the capital and in the country.

Day 2:
Breakfast.
Explore the city and its history with a guide. Hisarya is famous for its healing mineral waters: 16 natural mineral springs and 6 drilled mineral water wells. The town is one of the oldest and most popular balneological and SPA center in Bulgaria. The climate is mild and pleasant, and one remarkable phenomenon there is the lack of fog. Because of this fact the town is regarded one of the sunniest spots in Bulgaria. The pleasant climate and the mineral waters of this location have proven to be attractive to settlers since ancient times. The settlement’s heyday was during the Roman era. In 293 Emperor Diocletian declared it a town and this marked thebeginning of the construction of massive fortification walls, public buildings, baths, streets, etc. It became the third biggest town in Thracia Province. In terms of state of preservation and uniqueness of its fortification system, the Roman town of Diocletianopolis is among the top-ranked in Europe. The town located on the territory of the ancient fortress and the monuments of culture /fortified wall, amphitheatre, public buildings, Christian basilicas, barracks, villas, thermal springs, and a Roman tomb/ comprise Diocletianopolis National Archaeological Reserve. The town is famous for its beautiful parks. They spread out on an area of 700 decares and include more than 160 decorative tree species.

Departure to Plovdiv (excursion by minibus with English speaking guide), about 45 km . Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria. It is


situated in the Upper Thracian Plain, on the banks of the Maritsa river. Plovdiv is one of the oldest cities in Europe – its history dates back to 4,000 years BC. In the beginning the ancient settlement was situated on the natural elevation between Nebet, Taksim and Dzhambaz hills (the Three Hills). In ancient times Thracians inhabited the Three Hills and built a fortified settlement – the largest city in Thrace. In the 4th century BC Plovdiv was conquered by Phillip of Macedonia. He gave the city one of its many names – Phillipopolis, and had it surrounded by thick fortified walls. Later the Thracians regained their power over the city, but after a series of battles in the 1st century AD it became a part the RomanEmpire.

During the period of the Roman Empire, Plovdiv (at those times – Trimontium) was an important regional center. Some of the city high lights were large-scale buildings, facilities and roads. Numerous well-preserved artifacts had remained from those times, such as cobble stoned streets, fortress walls, buildings, water supply and canalization systems. The city was returned within the boundaries of the Bulgarian state during the ruling of Khan Malamir (reigned 831 – 836 AD). Over the centuries, the power over the city was passed between the Bulgarians and the Byzantines. The city even briefly became a possession of the knights of the Fourth Crusade. It finally became part of the Bulgarian state in 1344 AD. The Ottoman troops who invaded in 1364 and gradually conquered Bulgaria, gave new direction


of development for the city. The Byzantine architecture was replaced by new buildings with typical oriental features. The new name of the city was Filibe.

During the Bulgarian Revival (18th- 19th century) Plovdiv was an important economic center. The rich traders from Plovdiv showed their wealth through the construction of beautiful and richly ornamented houses. Besides being an architectural center, the city is an important cultural center and has a major contribution to the spiritual awakening of Bulgaria. Plovdiv was of great importance in the struggle for church independence. On 16 January 1878 the city was liberated after the end of the war between Russia and Turkey. However, a few months later the Berlin peace treaty Plovdiv remained within the autonomous region under Ottoman rule – Eastern Rumelia, andwas elected to be its capital. This dramatic period of separation lasted for seven years. Meanwhile was prepared an upcoming uprising, planned to bring together the separated regions of the country. On 6 September 1885 the city was conquered and Eastern Rumelia was again united with the Principality of Bulgaria. This memorable date set the beginning of the new history of the country and is celebrated every year as a solemn day. To be visited: The ancient forum - The forum complex, parts of which can nowadays be seen from both sides of the central post office, is the largest in Bulgaria. It was built in the end of the 1st century AD, when Philipopolis obtained a new city planning scheme and a center (forum) according to a


Roman model. It covers an area of 11 hectares. The Antique Theater in Plovdiv is situated in the Old Town, in the saddle between the two hills – Dzhambaz and Taksim Tepe. It was built in the beginning of the 2nd century AD during the ruling of Emperor Trayan (98 – 117 AD). It is one of the best preserved antique theaters in the world. The antique stadium in Plovdiv was built according to the model of the Delphi Stadium – only 12 of this kind are preserved in the world. It is approximately 200 meters long; only its northern part and a part of the fortified wall from the 2nd – 4th century have been exposed. Sports contests were conducted here in the past, as well asgladiator fights and animal fights – the renowned Pitian, Alexandrian and Kendresian games. Remains of a hydraulic clock were found at its central entrance. The place used to serve to about 30,000 viewers in ancient times. Ancient Plovdiv Architectural Reserve is a well-preserved complex where visitors can take walks through different historical ages, see ancient buildings adapted to the modern way of life and feel the spirit of the town from the Bulgarian Revival Period. The Old Town, as the complex is known, lies on a natural elevation – the three hills (the closely situated Dzhambaz Hill, Nebet Hill, and Taksim Hill).

Many peoples have inhabited this place through the centuries. And all of them have left traces of their cultures and also the different names they gave to


take your coffee next to the remains of the Amphitheatre of Serdica (Arena di Serdica) built by the Romans in the 3-rd-4th century AD. It has an oval shape and measures 60 x 43 m, only a few meters shorter than the Coliseum in Rome. Its capacity was 25,000 spectators and you can see seven rows of seats that have remained in their original position.
Sofia has been settled for many millennia. In honor of its hot springs, in the 8th century BCE the Thracian tribes settled here gave the city its first name – Serdika or Serdonpolis.In the 1st century BCE, Serdika was captured by the Romans, who transformed it into a Roman city. During the reign of Emperor Marcus Ulpius Trajan (reign 98-117 CE), the city tookhis name, Ulpia Serdika, and became the administrative center of the region. Serdika was the favorite city of Constantine the Great (reign 306-337), who said “Serdika is my Rome.” In roughly 175, massive fortified walls, with four watchtowers were built to protect the city , and a second outer fortified wall was added during the 5th-6th centuries. The city’s flourished for a second time under Justinian the Great (reign 527-565). At the beginning of the 9th century, the Bulgarian Han Krum (reign 803-814) invaded Serdika. The city became an inseparable part of The First Bulgarian Empire (7th-9th centuries) under Han Omurtag (reign 814-831). At this time the city was renamed Sredets (The Center), because of its central strategic location. In 1382, the city fell to the Ottomans. It


was liberated five centuries later, in 1878, and on April 3, 1879 it was declared the capital of the newly-liberated Bulgarian nation. Sofia preserves many valuable monuments to its long and storied past.
You will visit on foot the center of the Bulgarian capital with a guide (about 3 hours). You will see the church of St Sophia dating from the fifth - VI-th century and gave the current name to the city, the great Alexander Nevsky Cathedral with its golden domes, the Rothonde St George - III - IV-century ramparts of the city and feel the history of this city that lasts more than 5000 years.

Notre-Dame Cathedral, the centuries-old structure in Paris that was gutted in a massive fire on Monday (April 15, 2019), was one of France's most iconic architectural wonders. Built over 800 years ago, Notre-Dame Cathedral had weathered many seasons down the centuries. The ashes that lie scattered in Paris today had inspired awe in visitors from across the world in the architecture's halcyon days.

Popularly known as "our lady", the Notre-Dame Cathedral is used by the Roman Catholic Church. It is also the seat of the Archbishop of Paris.

THE ORIGIN

The Notre-Dame Cathedral is located on the small island of Ile de la Cite. This island is in the middle of River Seine.

The construction of


the Notre-Dame Cathedral stretched on for nearly 200 years. A description on the Cathedral's website says its construction began in 1163 after King Louis VII commissioned the architectural wonder. Construction was completed in 1345.

HISTORY IT WAS WITNESS TO

Among the highlights of its 800-year-old history, is the crowning of Henry VI of England, which took place inside the Notre-Dame Cathedral in 1431.

The Cathedral website recounts there was a time when the Norte-Dame Cathedral was in a "stage of total disrepair". In fact, it was very close to being demolished.

Had it not been for Napoleon, this structure would have seen its end. Napolean not only saved the Cathedral from being demolished but was later also crowned the Emperor of France inside the Cathedral in1804.

WORLD WAR II: THREAT FROM GERMANS

By the time World War II broke out, Norte-Dame Cathedral had returned to its resplendent beauty. But as the War intensified, it was rumoured that "German soldiers might destroy the newly installed stained glass" in the Cathedral.

Anticipating a possible attack, the glass was removed. It was reinstalled after World War II ended.

"The steps [to remove the window] were taken because of only one particular archaeological glass window called the Rose window which is supposed to be the biggest glass window in the world produced in the 13th century," the Cathedral's website says.

WHAT ELSE?

Nearly every corner of the Norte-Dame Cathedral has some or the other historical significance, but an artefact that deserves a special mention is the famous bell that has been


redesigned now to ring automatically.

"Any visitor to the bell tower should be prepared to climb the 140-step staircase, if desirous of seeing the historical bell or have a glimpse of the city of Paris," the Cathedral's website says.

"Also inside the Notre-Dame Cathedral, among so many historical artefacts, is the notable 17th century organ with all of its parts still functional. There are also drawings, plans and engravings which showed the old and hidden mysteries of several of the church developments and how the city of Paris came into being."

The Notre-Dame Cathedral is also known for its beautifully carved gargoyles on its roof. Besides their architectural aesthetics, the gargoyles also protect the Cathedral's walls by draining rainwater in a manner that it doesn't fall on the wallsand damage them. Most of the characters depicted in the form of gargoyles are demons.

WHAT REMAINS, WHAT IS LOST

The massive fire that gutted a large section of Notre-Dame Cathedral on Monday has damaged the roof of the structure.

Firefighters were however able to save the main bell towers and outer walls from collapsing before bringing the blaze under control, news agency Reuters said in a report.

The report said that besides battling to prevent one of the main bell towers from collapsing, firefighters also tried to rescue religious relics and other priceless artworks.

French President Emmanuel Macron said France would launch a campaign to rebuild the cathedral, which is considered to be among the finest examples of French Gothic cathedral architecture. The campaign will include fundraising efforts and appeals to "talents"

Ram Jaane was ahead from day one and remained there through the run, earning a "Hit" verdict by Box Office India, while Akele Hum Akele Tum was declared a "Flop". It remains one the fan favourites of Shah Rukh Khan's films and his acting was appreciated in it.

Overseas

Ram Jaane also managed to fare better overseas, despite Akele Hum Akele Tum having the more overseas friendly genre. It earned a total of $200,000 (69.50 lakh) outside India.

The situation in Venezuela is growing more desperate by the hour as its unraveling socialist economy is trapped in a debt vice.

Christie defended his use of the state property during the shutdown that affected the public, which is being kept out of state parks with signs blaming Democratic Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto, on Saturday, saying: "That's the way it goes. Run for governor, and you can have the residence."

On Sunday, Christie was asked whether he had gotten any sun that day, to which he said he didn't. After the pictures were posted, the governor's spokesman agreed that Christie didn't get any sun; he said Christie was wearing a baseball hat.

Still, Christie said people shouldn't have been surprised by the pictures. Spokesman Brian Murray had said Christie was headed to the beach house Saturday night.

"This isan incredible scandal as you know. They actually caught a politician being where he said he was going to be with the people he said he was going to be with," Christie said.

(1) Vertical axis turbine with passive variable pitch angle

This turbine uses passive variable blades to change the blade pitch angle in order to achieve the best angle of attack. According to the airfoil characteristic, the variable pitch angle turbine keeps the airfoil at the position of the largest lift by adjusting the blade pitch angle, providing the maximum tangent force for maximum power production. This type of turbine is also called the Kobold turbine, which was developed by Ponte di Archimede Company in Italy, and completed its full-scale testing at the Strait of Messina, the southwestern of the Italy.

The advantage of this turbine is the low solidity design so that its power coefficient is 5% higher than that of the helical blade turbine, and theTravel Records Belie What Trump Told Comey About Russia Trip

Tags

President Donald Trump appears to have misled former FBI Director James Comey about his trip to Moscow for the Miss Universe pageant in 2013, according to flight record obtained by Bloomberg. Though Trump reportedly told Comey that he didn’t stay overnight in the Russian city, per the director’s contemporaneous memos of their private meeting, the flight records and social media posts show that Trump stayed overnight in the city at a hotel.

This development is significant because it undermines Trump’s denials that the Russian government has blackmail material on him as mentioned in the Steele dossier, in the form of a video recording of him with prostitutes. The dossier’s author, former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, said sources told him

But DC skipper ShreyasInvestigators for Special Counsel Robert Mueller have joined efforts with the New York State attorney general's office in its probe of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort's business and real estate dealings, according to a person familiar with the matter.

CBS News' Pat Milton reports that prosecutors from the State attorney general's office and prosecutors from the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan have worked together successfully in the past in white collar and corruption investigations.

One of the prosecutors from the U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan has joined Mueller's team, which is conducting the investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russian government entities, as well as any knowledge of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has


been investigating Manafort's real estate holdings in New York.

Mueller, who is using a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. to help with his investigation, is particularly focused on Manafort's lobbying efforts between 2012 and 2014 for a pro-Russian Ukrainaian political party, and his offshore banking and financial dealings.

From 2012 to 2014, Manafort and his associate, Rick Gates, who also worked as a strategist for the Trump campaign, were consultants to the political party of then-Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. A non-profit governed by Ukrainian politicians friendly to Yanukovych paid at least $2.2 million to the Podesta Group Inc. and Mercury LLC to advocate for positions favored by the Yanukovych government, the Associated Press reported in August. Yanukovych now lives in exile in Russia. Manafort has since registered with theJustice Department as a foreign agent for his consulting work, acknowledging that he coached party members on how to interact with U.S. government officials.

As part of the ongoing probe, public relations executives who worked on the pro-Yanukovych campaign organized by Manafort were subpoenaed by Mueller's team late last week.

An individual familiar with the matter also confirmed to CBS News on Thursday that Manafort's spokesman, Jason Maloni, received a subpoena from Mueller in the Russia investigation. Maloni runs a public relations and crisis management firm in Bethesda, Maryland called JadeRoq. The Wall Street Journal first reported Maloni's subpoena -- for records of his work for Manafort since 2010. However, the Journal went on to point out that he has worked as Manafort's spokesman only since March, so it's not


clear why it is the subpoena goes back for so many years.

The Senate Judiciary Committee had subpoenaed Manafort to appear at a public hearing last month, but his attorney said that Manafort would instead be willing to provide a "single transcribed interview to Congress."

CBS News confirmed on Thursday that Manafort has now denied an NBC News report that the words "RNC" and "donations" were seen close to each other in notes he took during his meeting at Trump Tower with Russian citizens during the 2016 campaign. Manafort conceded that he did take notes, which were taken on his cell phone, and that he gave those notes to the Senate committee, but he denies that donations were discussed at the meeting.

"It is 100 percent false to suggest this meetingincluded any discussion of donations from Russian sources to either the Trump campaign or the Republican Party. Mr. Manafort provided the Senate Intelligence Committee with the facts and his notes so this speculation and conjecture is pointless and wrong," said Maloni in a statement to CBS News.

The FBI raided Manafort's home last month and left with various records. Agents were searching for tax and foreign banking documents, according to The New York Times.

The coordination between the Mueller and Schneiderman teams was first reported by Politico.

Jenkins is part of Milwaukee community

Geoff Jenkins leads the Brewers with a .351 average and eight RBIs in the early part of this season, but during the decade he's spent in Milwaukee, the slugging outfielder has also been a consistent team leader when it comes to community involvement.

Jenkins, who came to the Brewers' organization as the club's first-round draft pick in 1995, has focused his community work in two areas: He brings needy children to Brewers' games and is the team spokesman for the fight against prostate cancer.

Jenkins would like to do even more, but realizes any big leaguer has his limits of time and energy to help good causes.

"There are so many good organizations you can give to," Jenkins said. "You get charity offers left and right.You can't do them all. I do Jermaine Dye's and Mark Grace's golf tournaments. You try to give your time where you can. You make the effort to do some stuff."

A few trade rumors swirled around Jenkins in Spring Training, mainly because he's in the final year of his contract, but it's hard to imagine Jenkins in another city's uniform. He's only worn one during his 1,113 games in the Majors, and he's become part of the community.

For the past five years, the local Boys and Girls Clubs take an annual excursion to Miller Park that's sponsored by Jenkins.

"A couple of thousand kids come to a game, get their food paid for, bus to the game and get a souvenir," he said. "It's something that feels good to

Featuring Houdini memorabilia galore, the show also has a number of pieces by contemporary artsts like Joe Coleman, Raymond Pettibon and Matthew Barney that attest to the enduring cultural fascination with the legendary magician and escape artist who is still a household name nearly a century after his death.

The Skirball have actually added a second attraction, another magic-related exhibition called Masters of Illusion: Jewish Magicians of the Golden Age. They’ve done up the museum in “period” settings reminiscent of vaudeville stages and Victorian-era parlor rooms to display what remain of the almost forgotten careers of over 40 other stage magicians who were Houdini’s friends, rivals and predecessors.

That’s true in conversation, as well. Mr. Coleman, who projects a personal warmth that balances his psychic intensity, recounted the story behind one of the panels, an image of a “Jap Hand,” chopped off a Japanese soldier by an American serviceman in World War II. As a boy, Mr. Coleman became an expert at breaking into a locked cabinet in his father’s den.

that Ukraine will receive any lethal military aid under NATO auspices. Many alliance members, including Germany, have stated that they will not provide lethal military aid. NATO would have to fight significant bureaucratic inertia and hesitation within its ranks of 28 member states to take such a bold and forward-leaning stance on supporting Ukraine. Therefore, the United States must articulate how a lethal aid package would fit into the broader transatlantic strategy on Ukraine and what it could expect from its European allies. Some NATO members, including Poland, Canada and the Baltic states, have quietly signaled they are willing to send weapons and military hardware to Ukraine, but they would not risk exposing themselves unless the United States took the first step.

What would Russia's response be to theEstonia or Poland in ways that fall below the threshold of overt attacks, how would the United States and its allies respond?

Finally, and perhaps most important: What is the United States's end goal in providing lethal military aid to Ukraine? A proper support package may slow or even halt separatist victories in eastern Ukraine, but Ukrainian forces won't likely be able to roll back advances or take back the contested Donbas region — let alone Crimea — given the military's current fighting condition and Russia's heavy-handed involvement. The United States needs to define its end goal before sending weapons and equipment, whether it be forcing separatists and Russia back to the negotiating table or simply preventing Ukraine from losing any more territory. The answer to this question should
