A journey of faith through the jungle of steel and concreteby Nehemiah Lee

Twelve years ago, I founded Nehemiah Reinforced Soil Sdn Bhd. It is a construction company. The mission is to make a decent living without having to get involved in corrupt practice. The mission seemed naive.

It seemed like an impossible task because the construction industry is rife with corruption. It is a jungle out there


National Cemetery.

In the period of Jim Crow, Confederate monuments went up across the South to shore up white supremacy, and these often repeated such paternalistic views of slavery. In North Carolina, a Confederate monument erected at the Tyrell County courthouse in 1902 reads on one of its panels, “in appreciation of our faithful slaves.” The Heyward Shepherd monument in Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia offers another potent example. This myth is also on display in the Arlington National Cemetery, where in 1914 the United Daughters of the Confederacy set up a Confederate memorial. One of its images is of a black slave in Confederate uniform marching to war alongside white Southern soldiers and a “mammy” lovingly tending to the children of her master as he leaves for battle.

Shri Hanumagiri Kshethra is situated atop a hill in the middle of Bangalore, India. It hosts an ancient Hanuman temple from which the hillock derives the name ‘Hanumagiri’. Hanumagiri is located in AGS Layout, Ittamadu locality.

Legend
According to Indian folklore, the hill is where the sage Mandavya undertook his ‘Tapas’ (meditation) and prayed for the well-being of the world. Local people hold that ‘Hanumagiri’ is part of Sanjeevini mountain. The hill is believed to have originated after it was "dropped" by Lord Hanuman as he was bringing it to cure Lord Ram and his brother, Lakshman, who were injured during Ramayana.

The hill hosts three temples, Shri Arkeshwara Temple, Shri Ganapathi Temple and Shri Anjaneya (Hanuman) Temple.

The Pendulum Swing Of Disruption

When a new technology disrupts a traditional incumbent, it normally does so by being 3 things to the end user:

Cheaper/free

Quicker

More convenient

Napster, YouTube, Amazon, Uber, Netflix, all of these companies have done exactly this. Because they most often build market share and presence using external funding, such companies turn existing economics upside down with loss leading tactics. The result is that audiences switch in their millions and incumbents are left in tatters. Any old business that relies on scarcity economics will be swept away.

Take Uber’s impact on taxi drivers across the world. In the UK, a black cab driver will spend 5 years riding aroundits fiercest competitor yet in Apple, a resurgent Deezer and an increasingly significant Amazon. Spotify closed out the year with around 43 million subscribers, Apple with around 21 million and Deezer with nearly 7 million. 2nd place is thus less than half the scale of 1st, while 3rd is a third of 2nd place. Meanwhile Apple and Spotify account for 64% of the entire subscriber base. It is a market with many players but only 2 standout global winners. Amazon could change that in 2017, largely because it is prioritising a different, more mainstream market (as long as it doesn’t get too distracted by Echo-driven Music Unlimited success). Meanwhile YouTube has seen its music streaming market share decline, which means more higher paying audio streams, which means more


labels on their own cannot. Until not so recently Spotify found itself under continual criticism from artists and songwriters. Although this has not disappeared entirely it is becoming less prevalent as a) creators see progressively bigger cheques, and b) more new artists start their career in the streaming era and learn how to make careers work within it, often seeing streaming services more as audience acquisition tools rather than revenue generators.

The Balance Of Power Is Shifting Away From Recorded Music

In 2000 record music represented 60% of the entire music industry, now it is less than 30%. Live is the part that has gained most, and the streaming era artist viewpoint is best encapsulated by Ed Sheeran who cites Spotify as a key driver for his successful live career,Archive by Author

In the passenger seat of a topless mini Jeep, I’m clinging on for dear life as Kim Novak, star of Vertigo, chuckles with delight. We’re careening across her sprawling 240-acre ranch in southern Oregon in the open-roof 4×4, bounding off-road over hillocks, crashing through the rushing river that runs through her property and swerving to avoid a llama sitting in the road.

In 1965, Kim Novak left Hollywood. A venerated screen siren of the Fifties and Sixties, she was stung by bad parts and bad reviews, including the tepid response to her performance in Vertigo. Recently voted the greatest film of all time, back in 1958 Vertigo was widely regarded as a Hitchcock misfire. Less than a decade after starring in one of history’s most beloved films,


to Cruise. Once the Church’s most treasured member, he may now prove to be its greatest liability.

Tom Cruise joined Scientology under the tutelage of his then-wife, actress Mimi Rogers, herself raised in the Church. (Rogers is rumoredtohavelefttheChurchafter her divorce from Cruise.) Then, in his mid-twenties, Cruise was enjoying the most successful period of his career, as he transitioned from teen heartthrob to Serious Dramatic Actor with roles in The Color of Money andRain Man. According to Janet Reitman’s acclaimed book Inside Scientology, Cruise initially attended the Church’s auditing sessions (the process through which Church members push through their layers of emotional baggage and become “clear”) quietly and secretly, under his birth name Thomas Mapother. As he warmed to the procedures, he was turned over to the Church’s CelebrityCounty Men’s Central Jail, released after three months of harrowing and wrongful incarceration.

During his ordeal, he learned to dodge angry Los Angeles County Sheriff’s jailers and to trade with fellow prisoners for dried ramen toppings. He was helplessly trapped in a Kafka-esque corner of America’s immigration war, where he disappeared into the bowels of the system without explanation or apparent legal recourse.

In 2006, Roy was an up-and-coming star of the British independent-film community. His first picture, AKA, had received notice and awards around the world, and he followed the well-worn path to Hollywood in search of a bigger canvas — in particular, a film adaptation of The Picture ofDorian Gray, to which he was attached to direct. He purchased the Las Flores house with the help of his


then-boyfriend, a Malibu real estate agent who later would be featured on Bravo‘s Million Dollar Listing.

Five years later, the dream had fizzled. The relationship with his partner had ended. TheDorian Gray film hadn’t materialized. Roy even sought counsel from Dr. Drew on his show Sex Rehab, where the director’s outspoken manner made him a reality-TV cause célèbre. A bout with cancer led to the removal of one of Roy’s testicles. With his visa due to expire in December 2011, he prepared a move to his apartment in Berlin.

But in Los Angeles, the most tangled dramas ultimately come back to real estate. Selling the house was proving thorny. Once it was on the market, geological issues arose, dramatically lowering its value. Then, Roy says, he received a middle-of-the-night phonecall from someone claiming to be the geologist who had worked on the house’s assessment. He told Roy that he had been pressured to cover up problems in the foundation but, having become a born-again Christian, felt obliged to come clean.

George Clooney has lost Oscar races before. In the past decade, he’s been passed over four times (twice for Best Actor and once apiece for Best Director and Best Screenplay). While he has reigned atop the pyramid of Hollywood glamour as perhaps the most critically praised, most well-liked mainstream actor currently working, Clooney’s trophy case boasts a lone statuette in the leading man’s consolation prize category of Best Supporting Actor (for Syriana).

This year, however, was to have been his. Clooney’s rich and nuanced performance in the critically-lauded film


the Best Actor prize. Clooney’s sensitive, complex performance seems like to join his growing list of also-rans in Oscar’s eyes.

In his three decades of acting, Woody Harrelson has gleefully taken on the roles of serial killers, psychopathic zombie hunters, and criminally stupid bartenders, but in his 50th year of life, he finally took a role that forced him to exhibit his greatest demons: a uniformed officer of the LAPD.

And not only a police officer, but a very, very bad one, teetering on the edge of sanity and lawlessness in Rampart, a new movie by director Oren Moverman. The film is a rematch for Harrelson and Moverman, who previously took the actor to other dark places in The Messenger. In that 2009 film, Harrelson—often thought of as a comicActor—one of this year’s most competitive categories—for his role in Young Adult, the new film from the Juno duo, director Jason Reitman and screenwriter Diablo Cody. But after years of mocking Hollywood’s foibles as a stand-up, and leading a band of ill-shapen misfits from the sidelines, Oswalt, the cherub-faced comic, may very well have earned himself a seat at the Oscars ceremony against other possible contenders no less notable than Christopher Plummer, Max Von Sydow, Nick Nolte, Ben Kingsley, and Kenneth Branagh.

Before an audience of his friends, fellow comedians, and family in a screening room on the Paramount lot for a first peek at Young Adult, a humbled Oswalt stood in front of the assembled to introduce this major leap into the world of Serious Acting. Addressing the


crowd, he said, “Young Adult will open nationwide on Dec. 9. Tonight sit back and enjoy Human Centipede.” Pause. “I need you to see the film the way I saw it.”

The character in question may go down as the most nuanced and heartbreaking portrayal of the nerd dilemma ever committed to film. Oswalt plays Matt Freehauf, a man festering in the literal and psychic wounds of high school, an experience that ended with his being beaten by a group of jocks, leaving him permanently disabled. Wallowing in his resentments while living within sight of his tragedy, Oswalt slams into Mavis Gary (Charlize Theron), his high school’s former prom queen and doyen of his tormentors. As obsessed by her youth, in her way, as Matt is, Mavis has returnedthat had managed to achieve major success. In the interim, the TV schedule has been flooded with musical competitions, from the dance genre—led by Dancing With the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance—to shows like Cowell’s own America’s Got Talent. Now the launch of X Factor comes not only three months after the mega-finale of Idol’s 10th season, but also after the conclusion of the first singing contest to give Idol a run for its money, Mark Burnett’s The Voice, which attracted very respectable numbers in its debut season on NBC.

A decade and a half after he burst into public consciousness with one of the most obnoxious debuts of modern times, Matt Damon has quietly, almost underneath the radar, transformed himself into one of the most effective actors of our day. While others of his generation have soaked up the acclaim and the trophies, Damon has turned in a string of flawless performances that have suddenly turned him into the archetype for a new breed of screen masculinity.

the Civil War Trust is in the preservation business.”

The two target properties, the Vermont Monument site and Rienzi’s Knoll, located on opposite ends of the battlefield, each represent a critical moment in the October 19, 1864 struggle — a Union victory that clinched Abraham Lincoln’s reelection to second term as President.

The Civil War Trust was joined at the news conference by representatives of a variety of entities involved in historic preservation at Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park. Joining Lighthizer at the speakers’ podium were Bell Grove Plantation executive director Elizabeth McClung, park superintendent Diann Jacox, representatives of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources and Laura Jeffords, daughter of former Senator Jim Jeffords of Vermont, as well as several former members of his staff.

“Cedar Creek andlandmark efforts like this one is an investment in both our past and our future.

The first property is a 12.5-acre tract near Belle Grove Plantation associated with the pre-dawn Confederate attack that overwhelmed an unsuspecting Union army. In a desperate attempt to buy time for the Northern lines to reform, a single brigade — outnumbered by some estimates 10-to-1 — was ordered forward into the Confederate advance and held its ground for a crucial half-hour. One regiment, the 8th Vermont, lost 110 of its 164 men in the brutal, often hand-to-hand fighting. Vermont’s heroic stand at Cedar Creek is often considered to be among the state’s finest hours during the Civil War. An enormous mural depicting the fighting hangs in the State House in Montpelier. A monument to


the 8th Vermont, one of only three on the entire Cedar Creek Battlefield, sits on the property the Trust is seeking to acquire.

The second property covers 64.5 acres on the northern end of the battlefield, where no land has previously been protected, but where one of the greatest reversals of fortune in the Civil War took place. After retreating five miles, the situation looked bleak for the defeated and disorganized Union forces. It was then that Union Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan, arriving after a brutal 13-mile ride to the sound of the guns, rallied his men and launched a devastating counterattack that nearly destroyed the Confederate army.

Common Sense revealed that he’s also working on an EP to accompany the film, and it should be known he’s also a producer for the film. Also, he announced his first official mixtape and an upcoming album will be coming out later this year.

The Pendleton muzzle brake is an integral braking system installed by porting the rifle barrel and once cut into the barrel cannot be reversed. All current Weatherby Mark V rifles chambered for the .378 Weatherby Magnum and its derivatives are provided with the Accubrake as a standard accessory with the rifle package. The Accubrake reduces felt recoil by about 53%. Unlike the earlier Pendleton muzzle brake, the Accubrake is a removable, screw-on type brake.  Since the Accubrake is a removable accessory, it can be reserved for sighting in. According to Weatherby, the removal of the Accubrake will not change the point of impact.

Crying was not an option as he was surrounded by people. leaning his head over the window glass trying to alter his itchiness raised from the wails of his own heart. The bus was rally-crowded and he was trying to get some harmony while chewing the gum and closed his button-shaped eyes which hadn’t been closed all day. In the red dress and blue jeans, the dust was all over his black curly hair and thin trimmed bearded face which looked unrested. People around struggling to adjust by pushing each other. while his head being vibrated by the window glass but nothing bothered him as he just wanted to concentrate on his unpeaceful nap.

The wind coming from the window was playing with his hair as Diana the Greekgoddess knew how frustrating day he had to survive alone at the work listening to the unloved screams of seniors. Meanwhile, it was a little awkward for me also sitting behind him as he was trying to sneak with one eye into the red-green apple I had in my hand. it felt as if he was hungry for years. And he will snatch it from my hand, enjoying its crunchy juicy taste without letting me having a single bite. I thought to offer him before he grabs it, but he smiled and said no thanks I just had the tea which I knew was a lie as his phony smile tasted more painful than a heartbreak

Suddenly the mixed essence of sweat and perfumes was making me crazy when


suddenly everyone inside the bus went ghost-quiet and had their eyes on the passenger who just stepped inside the bus and her essence was so strong and eye-grabbing that no one could stop staring.

Green dress, long ponytail, fresh shine on the face as if she just had the shower, 6ft 5 inches tall, pulchritudinous figure as she stepped forward with the squeaking of her black sandal, and sat in front of our seat.

He was in a deep sleep and suddenly had to open his eyes as her ponytail touched her face while she was having the seat.

His eyes were stuck on her with anger as she disturbed her peacefulness but as he saw her bare neck and ponytail with that strong perfume his anger turned into a smileand he just didn’t stop looking into her bare neck. The pure whitish skin, bleached brown hair on her neck explained how maintained she keeps herself. he couldn’t stop staring at her neck and side face look of her was making his craving for her stronger which I could realize from his desirous face which until now was dead. He wanted to grab her from behind and quench his thirst on her lips but he didn’t and Eros the god of love wept on his helplessness. He grabbed his phone trying to click her side portrait but his hands shaken and his conscience didn’t let him go further. He wanted to love her but again a phony tale he made up to his heart about how grapes are


sour.

Hello from the other side he murmured with his thread-thin lips

His eyes were lost inside the circular path of her silver-colored tops trying to find a path to her heart when his own heart was throbbing

Suddenly he stopped staring, looked into the window and smiled with himself.

Does he was afraid of being judged? even if had a clear vision of virginal love? is he an artist who is trying to draw a picture of her in his heart for his next canvas? Aphrodite (the goddess of love) questioned Eros (goddess of sexual intimacy) who were watching it all.

Suddenly she grabbed some peanuts she had in his hand and ate it while looking outside the versed window trying to offer a conversation with nature. Meanwhile, he was still staringat her with those button eyes. She suddenly realized it and turned back, looked into his eyes and he shut down looking into his hand as if he wasn’t.

That smile she had when he pulled his eyes down with modesty remained unexplained.

She looked forward again and concentrated into her peanuts. That salty taste he had on his lips while she was having it and he tried to wet his lips by his own tongue and granted himself an unsatisfied temporary pleasure

He was still trying to draw her picture which was incomplete I guess as he was anxious. His heart being engraved by her portrait without quenching his thirst for love. He wanted to touch her perfectly god carved shoulders which were just in front of his eyes but


couldn’t because he didn’t want to lose the peace of being an unrequited virgin lover. While he was busy drawing her picture, she just stood up as her destination had arrived. His face turned pale as he saw his brush being vandalized again without being filled with color of love and he continued staring at her with all the innocence and screamed her name which he didn’t let know to Eros and Aphrodite who were trying to fight for their individual win

She stepped to the exit door, looked back staring into his eyes and smiled.

His brush was filled with color again and he brushed his last stroke on the canvas of his heart and quenched his thirst!

a knife apparently wielded by a left-handed person who cut himself in the hand during the stabbing.
On the afternoon of March 2, 1972, Gary Crawley, appellant and appellant's stepbrother, Marc Setencich, were arrested and charged with Kroupa's murder. At the time of the arrest, appellant had a knife wound on his left hand. Thereafter, Crawley and Setencich entered pleas of *346 guilty as accessories after the fact to the murder; appellant entered a plea of not guilty to the murder charge, and the cause proceeded to jury trial.
At the trial, the prosecutor called Gary Crawley and Marc Setencich as witnesses for the People. In answer to the prosecutor's preliminary questions, Crawley stated that he was 22 years of age, a high school graduate, right-handed and addicted to heroinand seconal; he said that he knew Kroupa, that he had purchased drugs from the decedent's girl friend, Doris Ihlenfeldt, and that he pled guilty to being an accessory after the fact in the murder. Then, the prosecutor asked the witness if he had gone to Kroupa's house on the evening of March 1, 1972. Crawley refused to answer on the ground that the question tended to incriminate him. The court, however, ruled that Crawley did not have the right to assert the Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination because he had pled guilty to complicity in the crime; he told the witness that if he did not answer the question he would be in contempt of court. Later, out of the presence of the jury, Crawley's lawyer explained


the witnesses' penal interests, the prosecutor's leading questions were harmless.
Respondent's argument must fail for the reason that there is nothing in the record to prove that after they were arrested Crawley and Setencich told the police that appellant was the one who brutally stabbed Kroupa and that they vividly described all of the details of the murder as suggested by the prosecutor's leading questions. The prosecutor presented no evidence nor did he make any offer of proof to this effect; while he presented two witnesses who testified that Crawley and Setencich had admitted being at Kroupa's house on the night of the murder and had described some of the details, neither witness said that Crawley or Setencich described the murder itself or implicated appellant in any manner whatever.

Two factors led me to write the Military Psychology article. First, I spent the summer of 2005 at the University of Pennsylvania with a group of positive psychologists led by Dr. , the founder of positive psychology. Our goal that summer was to explore innovative ways that principles of positive psychology could be applied in new and diverse settings. Enriched by the daily company of Dr. Seligman and other pioneers of positive psychology, it became evident that positive psychology, with its emphasis on personal growth and enrichment, was well matched to the military, with its organizational commitment to developing its members to maximize their potential and excel both personally and professionally. The second factor leading to the article was my year as President of the Society for Militaryapply findings to help military families

So, how have we done? The biggest (and ongoing) achievement addressed the first suggestion, developing pre-deployment training protocols to build soldier resilience prior to combat. By 2008, the U.S. military had been at war in Afghanistan and Iraq for seven years. rates for military members were rising dramatically and steadily, and incidents of combat stress and related disorders were also increasing. Sensing the strain of years of combat on its soldiers, then Army Chief of Staff General George Casey invited Dr. Seligman and I to meet with him and some of his key strategic leaders late in 2008 to explore strategies the

In January, 2011, a special issue of the flagship journal of the American Psychological Association, The American Psychologist,[2] was devoted to a description of CSF. Since its inception, CSF has impacted hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and it continues to be refined and expanded.

Another important application of positive psychology over the past decade has been in using its principles to improve the lives of military families, particularly children. The Military Child Coalition (MCEC), a non-profit organization dedicated to serving military children and improving the quality of their lives, has adopted positive psychology as the conceptual framework for its extensive educational and training programs.

Posted by Greg Hauenstein on July 9, 2019

When someone at a town hall in Newton, IA asked John how he'll mend the fences in Washington, the answer came easy.

John has an unmatched record of bi-partisanship among the Democrats running for President (and certainly against President Trump). When he was running for a third term in 2016, he received the endorsement of the Washington Post editorial board due to his willingness to reach across the aisle:

In just two terms representing the state’s 6th District, which stretches from Montgomery County to the West Virginia line, Mr. Delaney has established a reputation as one of Capitol Hill’s most substantive, proactive and bipartisan newcomers.

Additionally, GovTrack named him the 3rd most bipartisan Democrat in Congress


College Union was formed by a merger of two smaller unions in 2006. The two were the first unions in the UK to discuss a boycott of Israeli universities. So it’s no surprise to find anti-Palestinian groups attempting to fight the union with the usual tactics of bogus accusations of anti-Semitism.

Leading figures from pro-Israel groups testified in support of Fraser. They included Denis MacShane (a Labour Friends of Israel stalwart recently forced out of parliament over an expenses scandal), Jeremy Newmark of the Jewish Leadership Council, and several activists from Engage, a group created to combat boycotts of Israel from an ostensibly left-wing position.

Fraser’s team was led by Anthony Julius, a lawyer from high-flying firm Mishcon de Reya. In the 1990s he negotiated Princess Diana’s £17-million (then aroundPope Francis is the first ever from the Americas, an austere Jesuit intellectual who modernized Argentina’s conservative Catholic church.

Known until Wednesday as Jorge Bergoglio, the 76-year-old is known as a humble man who denied himself the luxuries that previous Buenos Aires cardinals enjoyed. He came close to becoming pope last time, reportedly gaining the second-highest vote total in several rounds of voting before he bowed out of the running in the conclave that elected Pope Benedict XVI.

Groups of supporters waved Argentine flags in St. Peter’s Square as Francis, wearing simple white robes, made his first public appearance as pope.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening,” he said before making a reference to his roots in Latin America, which accounts for about 40 percent of the world’s Roman Catholics .

Bergoglio often


has stood out for his austerity. Even after he became Argentina’s top church official in 2001, he never lived in the ornate church mansion where Pope John Paul II stayed when visiting the country, preferring a simple bed in a downtown building, heated by a small stove on frigid weekends. For years, he took public transportation around the city, and cooked his own meals.

Bergoglio almost never granted media interviews, limiting himself to speeches from the pulpit, and was reluctant to contradict his critics, even when he knew their allegations against him were false, said Rubin.

That attitude was burnished as human rights activists tried to force him to answer uncomfortable questions about what church officials knew and did about the dictatorship’s abuses after the 1976 coup.

Many Argentines remain angrydeath squads by declining to tell the regime that he endorsed their work. Jalics refused to discuss it after moving into seclusion in a German monastery.

Both men were freed after Bergoglio took extraordinary, behind-the-scenes action to save them — including persuading dictator Jorge Videla’s family priest to call in sick so that he could say Mass in the junta leader’s home, where he privately appealed for mercy. His intervention likely saved their lives, but Bergoglio never shared the details until Rubin interviewed him for the 2010 biography.

Bergoglio — who ran Argentina’s Jesuit order during the dictatorship — told Rubin that he regularly hid people on church property during the dictatorship, and once gave his identity papers to a man with similar features, enabling him to escape across the


Fernandez. Their relations became so frigid that the president stopped attending his annual “Te Deum” address, when church leaders traditionally tell political leaders what’s wrong with society.

During the dictatorship era, other church leaders only feebly mentioned a need to respect human rights. When Bergoglio spoke to the powerful, he was much more forceful. In his 2012 address, he said Argentina was being harmed by demagoguery, totalitarianism, corruption and efforts to secure unlimited power. The message resonated in a country whose president was ruling by decree, where political scandals rarely were punished and where top ministers openly lobbied for Fernandez to rule indefinitely.

Toulon president Mourad Boudjellal insists the recruitment of injury-prone England star Jonny Wilkinson from Newcastle is a gamble worth taking.
Since dropping the goal that won England the World Cup in 2003, Wilkinson has been plagued by injury problems and he has not played since dislocating a kneecap on Newcastle duty at Gloucester last September.
"If it doesn't work out, we'll put it down to a moment of folly," said Boudjellal, who has bankrolled Toulon for the past few years after making his fortune from the comic-book business.
He added: "But who hasn't fantasised about a rugby player like Wilkinson, a great among the greats, a player who is out of this world?"
Wilkinson has signed a two-year contract with Toulon and his sojourn to


the French Riviera will provide him with a chance to kickstart his career.
Fitness permitting, his competitive debut for Toulon will come on the weekend of August 15/16.
"I spoke to him on the telephone," Philippe Saint-Andre, Toulon's new director of rugby, said.
"He is going to take medical tests to be sure he will be at 100% for the start of the season."285) (2015), the evidence showed that at approximately

8:00 p.m. on March 19, 2016, a patrol officer with the Floyd County Police

Department was turning onto Chulio Road when he was dispatched to an area of that

road where someone was reportedly attempting to break into vehicles. It was still
light outside when the officer received the call from the 911 dispatcher. As the officer

drove by the area of the road where he had been dispatched, he passed by a man, later

identified as Dougherty, walking down the side of the road. The officer saw no one

else in the area.

       The officer decided to speak with Dougherty in light of the reported attempted

car break-ins in that area of the road. The officer turned around his patrol car,

activated


his blue lights for safety reasons due to the traffic conditions, and parked

his car on the road. After exiting his patrol car, the officer approached Dougherty,

who continued walking down the opposite side of the road, and said, “Howdy, hey

how are you doing sir?” According to the officer, Dougherty acted “completely

weird” and “was not making sense” when the officer approached him and tried to

speak with him, causing the officer to be concerned for his own and Dougherty’s

safety while standing on the road.

       After briefly speaking with and observing Dougherty, the officer asked

Dougherty to take his hands out of his pockets and then to come over in front of his

patrol car away from traffic. The officer testified that Dougherty took his hands out

of hiscontinuing to walk down the road, Dougherty followed the

officer over to the front of the patrol car and stood there with his hands out of his

pockets. Dougherty told the officer his name, but when the officer inquired where he

lived, Dougherty responded “right up here” and could not give an address. The officer

asked Dougherty for identification and tried to continue questioning Dougherty, but

Dougherty was unresponsive to many of his questions, tried to put his hands back in

his pockets, and again tried to walk away from the officer while saying “okay.”

      The officer had Dougherty lean against the bar on the front of his patrol car and

conducted a pat-down search for weapons, and Dougherty consented to a search of

his pockets. When the officer searched one


stop resisting and to put his hands

behind his back so that he could be handcuffed, but Dougherty did not follow the

commands even while saying “okay” several more times. The officer tried to

physically subdue Dougherty, but Dougherty continued struggling with the officer

and, according to the officer, did not appear to feel any pain. During the struggle, the

officer’s body camera fell off, and Dougherty grabbed it and held it tightly in his

hand.

        A second patrol officer arrived on the scene and deployed his taser on

Dougherty when he would not stop resisting the officers, but Dougherty continued

to disobey both officers’ commands to put his hands behind his back so that he could

be handcuffed. The officers ultimately were able to subdue Dougherty and handcuff

him, butonly after deploying the taser a second time.

        Dougherty was indicted on two charges of felony obstruction of a law

enforcement officer and one count of battery. Dougherty elected to be tried in a bench

trial, where the patrol officer who first responded to the scene (the “first officer”)

                                           4
testified to his encounter with Dougherty as summarized above. The second patrol

officer who arrived on the scene did not testify.

      The State also introduced into evidence and

                                          8
      In his brief on appeal, Dougherty argues that the first officer immediately

escalated their encounter to a second-tier investigatory detention when he activated

his blue lights, exited the patrol car, and required Dougherty to remove his hands

from his pockets and stand in front of the patrol car. According to Dougherty, the

officer lacked reasonable suspicion to detain him at that point because the officer was

relying on a vague 911 dispatch that someone had been trying to break into carsEpisodes

Moratti has consistently backed the young coach, who led Inter's youth team to the NextGen title last year, but speculation about plans to make a change this summer won't go away.

He told the club's official website: "There's one more match left to play, let's just let them get on with it in peace. You're fuelling doubts, not me. You're the one asking me if I have any doubts, and I don't have any at the moment."

Moratti also dismissed reports that he is ready to sell a 51% share in the club toIt's been known that Jenrry Mejia has been playing throughout the last few months of the season with a sports hernia. However, instead of the Mets shutting him down, they decided to have him simply pitch through it and undergo surgery to take care of it after the season ends.

We now have a surgery date: next Thursday, October 2, Mejia told ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin.

The exuberant closer became the youngest player in Mets history to reach 25 saves and currently sits at 27 with six games to go in 2014. He enters tonight's game with a record of 5-6 and an ERA of 3.77 to go along with his save total, having started seven games earlier in the season before becoming the full-time closer in May.

Classic Holidays’ CEO Ramy Filo awarded Top Honour

Classic Holidays’ CEO, Ramy Filo, has been awarded the highest honour in the Australian timeshare industry, being inducted into the Australian Timeshare and Holiday Ownership Council (ATHOC) Hall of Fame at a special ceremony on Wednesday night.

Devoted to the holiday ownership and timeshare industry, Mr Filo was selected for the top honour by his industry peers following his many achievements over the last 15 years.

Commencing as CEO of Classic Holidays in 1999, Mr Filo, a qualified mechanical engineer, served as President of ATHOC for seven years, and has been the current Vice President since 2010, as well as the peer-appointed Chairman of the Global Alliance of Timeshare Excellence (GATE) – a position he has held since 2006.

“Ramy is a true leaderof the timeshare movement, and deserves every honour for his years of dedicated service to improving the industry from the ground up,” said Classic Holidays Chief Operating Officer, Carole Smith.

“He has always led from the front, never afraid to step into unknown territory, and ultimately creating higher standards across the entire industry – not just here in Australia, but worldwide.”

During his time as President of ATHOC, Mr Filo instigated several positive initiatives for the industry, such as the first economic impact study into the benefits of timeshare; and he played an instrumental role in the establishment of the ATHOC Foundation – a not-for-profit organisation that helps those in need of a break from challenging circumstances.

It was Mr Filo’s recognition of customer satisfaction as the end goal that changed


pits, crowds, culture and fashion from the first day.

## CHAPTER FOUR

MRS TURNER, THE housekeeper, was a clean, neat, bustling person of fifty-five, dressed for the day in a black tailored suit smelling of stale lavender. She had a large bland face with small mean eyes, and her nose was the merest shade red.

She said: 'I'm sure there's nothing more I can tell you what I didn't say yesterday,' and sat down with an air of disapproval and injury.

Hansom said: 'You are Mrs Charles Turner, widow, housekeeper to the deceased. You had the day off yesterday till 5 p.m . . . where did you spend the day?'

'I told you all that yesterday.'

'Please


.' he said. Leaming smiled handsomely. 'Don't worry about that. She always cooks for half a dozen.' 'If I took home someone on spec my housekeeper would go on strike . . .'

The Pashley swept over the bridge and into Railway Road. On the right reared the long, high, windowless back of the football-ground stands. Leaming indicated it with a movement of his head. 'That's it,' he said, 'one of the best grounds outside the First Division. They've got another home match on Saturday . . . the Cobblers . . . usually a hard game. Going to see them?'

'I might,' said Gently. 'Are you?'

Leaming made a face. 'This business is meaning a lot of extra work . . . we've got the accountants in next week.

She knows enough, I'm reasonably certain, to put Louey into the dock beside Streifer . . . perhaps somebody else too. But she's been got at. She doesn't dare testify. She's seen how Stratilesceul finished up, and no doubt she's been told that whoever she gives away, there'll always be someone left to take care of her.

'But there she is – somebody who can do our job for us. If we can only find a way to coax her to talk we shall have Louey and possibly his associates in the palm of our hand. Unfortunately it runs in a circle . . . we've got to

'You say this bungalow was only taken for three weeks, Dutt?'

'That's right, sir. Booked by phone on April 5th.'

'Then he was only planning to stay there till the dust died down.'

'Or p'raps it was the best he could do, sir. April hisn't exactly early for booking holiday accommodation.'

They could see the marram hills now. Silver among the green, they peaked and undulated like a tiny range of mountains closing in the horizontal country. Beyond them fretted the invisible North Sea, lazy, treacherous. Before today it had found its way through those grass-whispering ramparts.

'It's no good, Dutt – I can't get a grip onhim. No need to leap suddenly from the nurturing bowers of sleep, to race through his toilet, to plunge into the chaotic morning Underground. He was off duty, and miles away. Out here, waking up was a pleasure worth tasting and lingering over.

'You didn't answer, sir, so I took the liberty of bringing it in.'

He opened an eye. A neat little maid in uniform stood by the bed smiling at him. She was carrying, not a cup, but an interesting-looking bed-tray on which he could see, _inter alia_ , copies of _The Times_ and the _Eastern Daily Post._ He dragged himself up the bed a few points to receive this consignment. The atmosphere of the room was pleasantly warm, and he remembered with appreciation that the amenities of

'Thank you for the offer . . . I think I might take advantage of it.'

'In that case I am glad I thought of it.' There was no mistaking the eagerness in Somerhayes's tone. 'You did not require Mr Gently, Daynes?'

'Require him? No! Daresay we can get along on our own.'

'Then I can carry him off with a clear conscience . . . I would not want to interrupt if he were assisting you.'

'Damn it, man!' erupted the baronet. 'Think the Northshire County Constabulary can't handle an investigation on their own?'

Somerhayes smiled humourlessly and retired with his capture.

He led the way down a long, parquet-floored corridor from the grey-panelled walls of which staredwhich may prejudice the subsequent trial!' barked Sir Daynes, irritation getting the better part of diplomacy. 'The press are kept informed, sir. As far as we can do so without prejudice, we give them every facility to report on the progress of a case. But we do not permit the press to obstruct us in the course of our duties, neither do we permit them to publish – and, sir, I may say that they would not want to publish – anything likely to interfere with the free exercise of justice!'

'Gimme back my hand!' bawled the colonel, dragging it away from Sir Daynes, who was performing prodigies with it. 'Great suffering catfish, do you have to dislocate a man's arm while you're laying the goddam law down? I

One of the key preventable health areas addressed by Healthy People 2010 is breast and cervical cancer. Healthy People 2010's leading indicators targets an increase in the proportion of women aged 40 years and older who have received a mammogram within the preceding 2 years from 60% to 70% \[[@CR6]\]. As part of these initiatives, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention established the Racial and Ethnic Approaches to Community Health by the year 2010 (REACH 2010) initiative to create community-based collaboratives to address disparities in health including the project titled, "Promoting Access to Health for Pacific Islander and Southeast Asian Women" (PATH for Women) which was initiated in Southern California


to eliminate disparities in breast and cervical cancer screening and disease management for seven AAPI populations in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. The PATH for Women project was designed as a community-based participatory research project to assess a 5-year study in regards to the effects of a culturally tailored, multi-level intervention to increase breast and cervical cancer knowledge, attitudes, and screening behaviors among the participating ethnic AAPI populations.

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Beliefs toward Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening {#Sec4}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Breast and cervical cancer screening are important in the reduction of cancer-related mortality. When breast cancer is diagnosed early when confined to the breast, the 5-year survival rate is over 95% \[[@CR2]\]. As for cervical cancer, early diagnosis has resulted in a decline of approximately 40% in the incidence and mortalityof the sampling strategy, research design, survey development, interviewer training, data collection, and data management techniques implemented in the current study was provided elsewhere \[[@CR9]\]. However, a brief review of the research methodology is provided below. Participants were recruited from various community clinics, churches, temples, supermarkets, and other community gathering sites in Northern and Southern California between 2002 and 2003. Sites in Northern California included Sacramento, San Francisco, San Mateo, Alameda, Contra Costa, Monterey, Santa Clara, Sutter County, Solano and San Jose Counties, and Southern California sites primarily included Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Eligible participants included adult women aged 18 and older. The study protocol was approved by the UCLA Human Subjects Institutional Review Board (\# G02-07-107-01) and verbal consent was provided by all of the participants.


Amanda and demanded that her license to practice be revoked.

Many of us in the nationwide nursing community are advocating for Amanda, and calling for the Arizona State Board of Nursing to cease and desist their actions which have deprived Amanda of her nursing license, brought her before the Board for disciplinary action, and requiring that she undergo a psychiatric examination. These actions are depriving Amanda and her daughter (she is a single mother) of their means of financial support, putting this small family at great risk of economic disaster.

The following is an open letter to the Arizona Board of Nursing, and was written by Kevin Ross of Innovative Nurse. I echo Kevin's sentiments, and urge all nurses and non-nurses who support Amanda's right to practice as a nursebullying and communication when considering comparisons between male and female supervisors and administrators, and the ways in which gender differences impact communication in health care. Several books have been written about the effects of feminism on the nursing profession, most notably "Daring to Care: American Nursing and Second-Wave Feminism" by Susan Gelfand Malka. Perhaps an exploration combining the effects of feminism on nursing and changes in communication would be an interesting follow up to "Confident Voices".

Within "Confident Voices", Boynton also does not address cultural, ethnic and racial differences in communication that could greatly impact nurses and those who work in health care institutions. Asians, Native Americans, Hispanics and other groups may have cultural practices and norms vis-a-vis communication that differ widely from white American culture. From eye contact

Hong Kong's government may censor the internet in a bid to contain protests

Hong Kong's government may censor the internet in a bid to contain months of increasingly violent pro-democracy protests, a cabinet member said Monday, after an emergency-law ban on demonstrators wearing face masks failed to quell the unrest.

The warning came as the international financial hub remained partly paralysed from three days of protests in which the city's rail network and business outlets seen as pro-China were badly vandalised.

The surge in protests was in response to the Hong Kong government's announcement on Friday it would invoke colonial-era emergency laws not used for more than 50 years to ban demonstrators from wearing face masks.

Chief Executive Carrie Lam said the ban was needed to contain the unrest, which began nearlyfour months ago and seen millions of people take to the streets demanding China stop strangling their freedoms.

In a radio interview Monday, Ip Kwok-him, a veteran pro-Beijing politician and member of Hong Kong's executive council, fuelled those concerns when he said controls on the internet could be introduced.

"At this stage, the government will consider all legal means to stop the riots," Ip told Commercial Radio.

"We would not rule out a ban on the internet."

The internet has been crucial to protesters, who have no public leaders and use online forums and encrypted messaging apps to mobilise.

The executive council is Hong Kong's cabinet, an advisory body to Lam.

She announced the ban on face masks immediately after meeting with the council on Friday.

First mask arrests in court

On Monday morning, a male


university student and a 38-year-old woman were the first people to be charged with illegally wearing masks as supporters packed the courtroom, many wearing face coverings.

They were both charged with unlawful assembly, which carries up to three years jail time, and with defying the mask ban, which has a maximum one-year sentence. Both were released on bail.

Outside the court, demonstrators queued to get in, some chanting slogans like "Wearing a face mask isn't a crime" and "The law is unjust".

Many said they feared the mask ban was just the first of more emergency orders to come.

"It's an excuse to just introduce other totalitarian laws, next is martial law," one protester outside the court, who gave his surname Lo, told AFP.

Few concessions

The rallies were ignited by a now-scrapped planto allow extraditions of criminal suspects to the mainland.

This fuelled fears of an erosion of liberties promised under the 50-year "one country, two systems" model China agreed to ahead of the 1997 handover by Britain.

After Beijing and local leaders took a hard stance to the initial protests, the demonstrations snowballed into a wider movement calling for more democratic freedoms and police accountability.

Lam has refused major concessions, but struggled to come up with any political solution.

The past week has seen a particularly intense stretch of protests.

The worst clashes to date erupted on Tuesday as China celebrated 70 years of Communist Party rule, with a teenager shot and wounded by police as he attacked an officer.

Over the weekend largely peaceful flash mob rallies and marches featured people wearing masks.

But more


hardcore protesters also went on the rampage, trashing subway stations, ransacking government offices and vandalising businesses with mainland ties.

Large parts of the railway network closed over the weekend because of the vandalism, while many shops and malls closed. Some subways stations and shops remained closed on Monday, a public holiday in Hong Kong.

PLA warning

Sunday witnessed the largest protests, with police firing tear gas to disperse tens of thousands of people marching on the main island. Clashes broke out at multiple other locations throughout the day, with dozens injured.

A warning flag was even raised on the roof of a People's Liberation Army barracks after protesters shone laser pens at the building, the first time Chinese troops in the city have made such a move.

On the mainland, Beijing flexed itsmuscles by pulling a top US basketball team's games from state broadcaster CCTV after its manager posted a tweet featuring the message "Fight for Freedom. Stand with Hong Kong".

The Houston Rockets tried to calm waters, issuing apologies from players and the manager.

Abrogation of Article 370 will lead to massive unrest: Farooq Abdullah

London, Nov 16 (PTI) Health woes have kept Farooq Abdullah far away from home but the three-term Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir says that his bigger worry today is BJP's "sinister" plan to abrogate the state's special status which will lead to "massive unrest".

For the first time in nearly four decades, the 77-year-old President of the ruling National Conference, who is in the UK for the last three months for treatment of failing kidneys, is unable to lead his party's campaign in an Assembly election.

"I am a batsman under treatment but raring to go back to the


field," he said in an interview to PTI here, explaining that he was unlikely to be in a position to go back home before February next, well after the Nov-Dec polls.

"But believe me my bigger worry is the known agenda of the BJP to abrogate Article 370 of the Constitution which gives our state a special status for which commitments were given by Mahatma Gandhi and by the Government of India.

"They (BJP) will do anything to achieve their objectives. They will polarise this sensitive state as they have done in the rest of the country. They will strike deals with anyone," Abdullah said.

Warning of serious implications of abrogation of Art 370, he said, "there would be massive unrest in younger minds and we will never achieve peace."

My father was also busy working hard to provide for the family, and simply had no time to work out either, though his job as a boilermaker was a very physical job. Aside from that, they always encouraged us to participate in sports, and we certainly did.

“It would be quicker to train an ape!” – Basil Fawlty on Manuel the waiter.

Basil may have been right. In the 1880s train travellers passing through Uitenhage in the Eastern Cape of South Africa would have witnessed the diverting sight of a Chacma baboon operating the signal levers in the station control tower.

James Wide was employed as a guard on the Cape Town-Port Elizabeth service by the Cape Government Railways. He had a habit of springing nimbly between the coaches, earning him the apt but prosaic nickname Jumper. He managed just fine until one dreadful day near Kleinpoort in 1877 when he slipped on the canvas covering of one of the coaches and landed under the moving train which severed his legs


at the knee. This devastating accident almost broke his spirit but he dug deep and rallied his considerable forces.

Good prosthetics weren’t around in those days so James designed and made a pair of wooden legs for himself. He couldn’t perform his guard duties anymore and was unemployed for a while. Eventually the Railways offered him a post as signalman at Uitenhage railway station. He was offered a cottage less than a kilometre from the station. Always resourceful and resilient, he constructed a trolley to travel to and from work on.

Uitenhage railway station in days gone by

It was tiring work for him to get up the small hill between the cottage and the station, and although he could operate the levers from a chair, he needed to hobble slowlylive with him at his cottage. His main aim was to teach Jack to assist him with the trolley, which Jumper had designed to fit on the tracks. Jack would push it up the incline with his powerful hairy arms, then hop on and enjoy the ride as they rolled down the other side to the station.

Jack and Jumper’s trolley

Jack watched as Jumper held up the key and went out to hand it to the engineer. Jack learned quickly and volunteered to do this extra duty himself. After a few days he raced to the engineer with the key as soon as he heard the four whistles. Thus Jumper was able to entrust Jack with more and more responsibilities.

The next task Jack learned was to operate the levers


in the signal box. These levers controlled which section of track a train would travel on as it passed the station. Drivers would whistle once, twice or three times so once again Jack learned to rely on these audio cues, which meant he could count and respond accordingly.

Jumper would hold up one or two fingers and the baboon quickly learned the right thing to do. He always looked at Jumper to check he was doing OK. Passengers would throw snacks for him as the train steamed by and Jack would nimbly catch his “tips”.

Jumper with Jack – the trolley can be seen on the right

One day an officious high society lady passenger noticed the baboon and was horrified to think her life had been placed in the handsof an ape. She notified the railway authorities, who had been unaware of the human-baboon partnership, and both Jumper and Jack were immediately fired.

Jumper pleaded with them to be given another chance. A number of railway workers came forward to verify Jumper’s claims that Jack knew what he was doing.

The railway management set up a stringent test. They set up a series of levers similar to those at the station and had a driver subject the ape to a rapidly changing series of whistles. Jack passed his test with flying colours, making no errors.

Impressed, the Cape Railways re-employed both of them and gave Jack an employment number and a weekly wage. He was paid 20c a week – quite an acceptable figure in those days, plus daily rations


and a weekly half bottle of beer. On Saturday afternoons Jack would sit at the door of the cottage sipping his well earned ale.

The two signalmen

In the nine years he worked for the Railways, the primate reportedly never made a mistake. Travellers were in safe hands with Jack around!

The unusual friendship became a familiar sight to the good citizens of Uitenhage and many people came to see Jack at work. They were amazed by how bright he was.

No monkey business for Jack unless he didn’t get his Cape brandy!

Menial work wasn’t beneath his dignity and he would sweep the kitchen floor of the cottage and remove the trash. He was also an excellent security guard and unwelcome visitors would be confronted by a snarling baboon baring his fearsomesome free grocery shopping in someone’s home.

Like many of our primate relatives they can be pretty darn smart. But Jack was truly a high flyer of his species and deserves to be remembered forever.

Jackie the War Baboon

Not to be confused with Jack, Jackie was a baboon belonging to Albert Marr, who farmed near Pretoria before World War I and found Jackie on his land. After war broke out they joined the Third South African Infantry Regiment and Jackie was their mascot. He had rations and a pay book and was issued with a uniform.

They sailed to the battlefront in August 1915 and saw active service against the Turks and Germans as well as in Egypt. Marr was wounded in the Battle of Agagia and the medics


found Jackie licking Albert’s wound.

In April 1918 both Albert and Jackie were injured in battle and Jackie lost a leg. The brave ape made a full recovery, was promoted to corporal, given a medal for valour and honourably discharged. Jackie rode a captured howitzer during a victory parade in London in 1919.

Both Marr and Jackie returned to his Pretoria farm where Jackie died in 1921.

Station Cat

Kishi Station in Kinokawa, Japan, has a stationcat in charge named Nitama. She replaced their original cat, Tama, a stray calico cat who was regularly fed by a station employee. When the station was automated in 2007 Tama was hired as a station mascot / stationmistress and given a daily food ration and an official cap and medal to wear.Passengers travelled far and wide to see her until she died in June 2015.

The new Kishi station building: designed to resemble a cat

New mascot Nitama works Fridays to Tuesdays from 10 am to 4 pm. The new Kishi station building is designed in a cat theme with a Tama themed cafe. The Wakayama Electric Railway operates three cat-themed trains: Strawberry Train, Tama Train and Toy Train.

Do drop by and say hi to Nitama should you ever be lucky enough to find yourself in Kinokawa!

On this Wednesday afternoon, a young boxer jumps rope. Another bangs a speed bag against the wall, sending a rhythmic pattering of triplets throughout the gym. Two fighters occupy the center of the mat, dancing back and forth in their Nikes. Their arms bob in front of their faces, searching for an opening. One seizes his opportunity, unleashing a flurry of punches. Rights and lefts, forcing spit out of his opponent's mouth when he connects. Now his sparring partner is in the corner, bracing himself on the ropes. Then he backs off.MOSCOW - With World Cup 2018 now firmly under way in Russia, the Kremlin indicated it was back to business Thursday, holding a new round of talks with neighboring Ukraine and hinting at movement toward a possible summit meeting with President Donald Trump as early as next month.

President Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with his Ukrainian counterpart, Petro Poroshenko, as the two leaders tried to bridge differences over the stalled Minsk peace accords aimed at curtailing violence in east Ukraine that has killed an estimated 10,000 civilians.

meeting of the country's Security and Defence Council in Kyiv, May 2, 2018. (Ukrainian Presidential Press Service)

According to a statement issued by Poroshenko's press office, the Ukrainian leader pressed Putin to allow the deployment of U.N.-backed peacekeepers into the Donbass territory in east Ukraine, largely held by Russian-backed rebels, as "an important instrument in the fulfillment of Minsk."

Another pressing issue, the fate of Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Senstov, currently serving a 20-year sentence in northern Russia on charges of carrying out a terrorist act in opposition to Russia's annexation of Crimea.

Sentsov is more than a month into a hunger strike aimed at gaining the release of about 70 Ukrainians in Russian prisons as a result of Moscow's simmering proxy war in Ukraine.

In recent days, Russia and Ukraine have movedtoward an agreement to allow human rights envoys to access imprisoned nationals on both sides of the conflict, including Sentsov.

But the Russian leader has thus far ruled out a trade with Ukraine for Sentsov on grounds that he, as a resident of Crimea, is now a Russian citizen and the Kremlin has no right to interfere in court decisions.
