The party is polling at 9% way down on 2010 and behind the wholly dysfunctional and borderline racist UKIP. Next election comes around, he and his party are going to get wiped out everywhere bar their traditional strongholds.

A power-sharing agreement is part of the parliamentary system, it's the American "ideological purity" bullshiat that causes so much retardation in the US.

He did really wella as the leader of the "third party" last time round.

Then he sold out pretty much all his party's principles for a power sharing deal with a much bigger party, and his previously good reputation is now as a pathetic lapdog. Theparty is polling at 9% way down on 2010 and behind the wholly dysfunctional and borderline racist UKIP. Next election comes around, he and his party are going to get wiped out everywhere bar their traditional strongholds.

Sold out? He is the most successful Lib Dem leader in living memory. He has turned a party from also-rans to people at the heart of government pushing the Lib Dem agenda. The biggest problem is that they are a minority part of the government so shouldn't dominate the policies.

Downbeat review by Peter Margasak

Fight the Big Bull – Dying Will Be Easy (CF 108)
***1/2
This nonet from Richmond, VA makes an impressive debut thanks to sharp tunes and arrangements by leader and guitarist Matt White. Drawing inspiration from the late, brass-heavy work of Duke Ellington and the dense instrumentation of the Charles Mingus classic Black Saint and the Sinner Lady the group excels with an ensemble-based approach, as deftly crafted harmonies and precise, contrapuntal blocks of sound propel the music. Despite influences that go back several decades, Fight the Big Bull possesses a thoroughly contemporary quality, using multi-linear improvisation, percussive clatter, and amplification to charge the work.

This paper describes forces that have adversely affected the place of the psychodynamic perspective within psychiatric practice and training over the last generation. One effect of these forces has been to create a lost generation of psychiatrists with little knowledge or experience with psychodynamic treatment. The article addresses opportunities to reverse some of the detrimental effects of recent changes. The Residency Review Committee's introduction of a requirement that residents achieve a measurable level of competence in five schools of psychotherapy represents a major opportunity to influence psychiatric training and practice. The past and present work of the Committee on Psychotherapy by Psychiatrists (COPP) is summarized, including efforts to integrate and revise the five existing core competencies in psychotherapy into a "Y"-shaped model in a

Both plot and character development are adequate rather than inspired.

Boston Drafts Eight Newbies

The Bruins took eight players total in the two-day draftapalooza. After Seguin, Boston grabbed two more centers from the OHL in the second round, led by Michigan native Jared Knight, followed by Ryan Spooner. The B’s sat out the third round, but followed up in the fourth round with choosing forward Craig Cunningham from the Western Hockey League’s Vancouver Giants, the former team of current Bruin Milan Lucic. Cunningham comes to the B’s with very high recommendations from Lucic.

The fifth round selection went to 20-year-old forward Justin Florek, who has playedtwo years for Northern Michigan University. The B’s went to the crease for their sixth round pick, selecting Minnesota high schooler Zane Gothberg, who will be tending goal for the University of North Dakota this winter. Boston had two seventh-round picks round out their draft, with the additions of defensemen Maxim Chudinov from Russia and Zach Trotman of Lake Superior State College.

Ashok Kumar: The Evergreen Hero

On Ashok Kumar’s birth centenary, we bring you an excerpt from Saadat Hasan Manto’s brutally honest essay on his friend and colleague.Excerpted with permission from Penguin Books India from Stars from Another Sky: The Bombay Film World of the 1940s by Saadat Hasan Manto, Translated into English by Khalid Hasan, Penguin, Rs 250

When Najmul Hasan ran off with Devika Rani, all of Bombay Talkies was in turmoil. The film they were making had gone on the floor and some scenes had already been shot. However, Najmul Hasan had decided to pull the leading lady out of the celluloid world into the real one. The worst affected and the most worried man at Bombay Talkies was Himanshu Rai, Devika Rani’s husband and the heart and


be deserted by their beloved for less emotional, but weightier political, religious or simply material considerations. As for the scenes he had already done, they were trashed. The question now was: Who was going to be his replacement?

Himanshu Rai was a very hard-working man, a filmmaker totally absorbed in his craft, and basically a loner. He had set up Bombay Talkies on the lines of a teaching institution, choosing the village of Malad outside Bombay as the site. He wanted nosy outsiders to be kept out—outsiders like Najmul Hasan. A replacement was needed. Once again, Mukherjee came to the rescue of his emotionally disturbed boss. His wife’s brother, Ashok Kumar, after taking a bachelor’s degree in science and reading law in Calcutta, had joined Bombay Talkies as anjust right together on the screen. Her artless gestures and girlish ways won the hearts of film-goers who had until then been fed on love’s ‘heavier’, more aggressive screen version. These two delicate, almost fragile-looking young lovers became the toast of India. So popular were they that college girls would pine for Ashok Kumar, while boys would go about wearing long and loose Bengali shirts, sleeves unbuttoned, one of which Ashok Kumar had worn in that famous duet with Devika Rani: Mein banki chidiya banke bolun re (I shall become a forest bird and sing from grove to grove).

I had seen some of Ashok’s films and as far as acting was concerned, Devika Rani was streets ahead of him. In the beginning, he used to look like someone


made of chocolate but as time passed he matured and his style became more assertive.

When he moved from the laboratory to acting, his monthly salary was fixed at seventy-five rupees, a sum he accepted happily. In those days, for a single person living in a far-flung village, which Malad was, it was a lot of money. When his salary was doubled, he was even happier. Not long after, when it was raised to two hundred and fifty rupees, he was very nervous. Recalling that occasion, he said to me, “My God…. it was a strange feeling. When I took the money from the studio cashier, my hand was trembling. I did not know where I was going to keep it. I had a place, a tiny house withhelp you understand unquestioning admiration.

Till the time I left Bombay in 1948, he was totally unfamiliar with love. I am unaware of what changes occurred in him in later years. Hundreds of beautiful women came into his life but he treated them all with the greatest indifference. Temperamentally, he was a rustic. His living style and his food habits also had a touch of rusticity.

Devika Rani tried to have an affair with him but he rebuffed her rather curtly. Another actress once picked up her courage and invited him to her home. Once he was there she told him tenderly how much she loved him. Ashok reacted so brusquely that to save face she had to assure him she was just testing him and had only sisterly feelings


towards him. The amusing thing was that Ashok liked her and would have loved to get her into bed. She always wore a washed and scrubbed look, which Ashok found irresistible. When she told him that he was like a brother to her, he felt rather let down.

Ashok was not a professional lover but he liked to watch women, as most men do. He was not even averse to staring at them, especially at those areas of their anatomy that men find attractive. Off and on, he would even discuss these things with his friends. Sometimes he would experience a strong urge to make love to a woman but he would never step forward. Instead he would say something like, “Yaar Manto . . . I just dowould place his racing bets on the basis of astrological calculations. He would spend hours working out the winning horses. However, he would never place more than a hundred rupees on any one horse. He would sometimes win ten rupees or come out even, but he never lost. He backed horses not so much to win as to divert himself. He would always be accompanied to the race course by his lovely wife, Shobha, mother of his three children. A few minutes before the start of the race he would give her money and ask her to place it. She would also be the one who would later queue up at the window to pick up the winnings...

Filmistan had just completed its war propaganda movie Shikari, and all


barren day, we placed our chairs on the terrace and began to drink brandy. Savak was a great aesthete when it came to drinks and he had produced an excellent brandy. One sip and you were in seventh heaven. We could see Churchgate station down below and the street was full of people. The sea lay beyond. Expensive cars, shimmering under the street lights, moved about noiselessly. Suddenly from nowhere, one of those huge, ugly roadrollers appeared. It was an odd sight but it gave me an idea. I thought, if a young and beautiful girl standing in her balcony were to drop a piece of paper from above and vow to marry the man who picked it up, she could well find herself married to the driverframe was prepared under Ashok’s supervision. Few people knew that the entire direction of Eight Days, the movie we produced, was the work of Ashok Kumar though DN Pai’s name appeared as director in the credits. He had not directed even an inch of the movie. At Bombay Talkies the film director was not a prima donna as elsewhere. It was all team effort and when the film was ready for release one member of the team would be credited with its direction. We had adopted the same system at Filmistan. DN Pai was a film editor and a good one, so it was decided that he should be mentioned as the director of the film.

It was during the making of Eight Days that I realised that Ashok


was as good a director as he was an actor. He would take great pains over even the smallest scene. A day before the scene was to be shot, he would go over the screenplay—which I had already gone through one final time—and spend hours in the loo ruminating over it. Oddly, Ashok could only concentrate when he was in the loo.

There were four new faces in the movie: Raja Mehdi Ali Khan, Upinder Nath Ashk, Mohsin Abdullah (husband of the actress Neena who was publicized as the ‘Mystery Woman’) and I. It had been decided to give a small role to Mukherjee as well but he copped out at the last moment because I had copped out of his film Chal Chal Re Naujawan as I wasGod and I know how terror-stricken I felt in front of the camera.

The film was released and it was a success. The public felt that it was a great comedy, which pleased Ashok and me greatly. We wanted to make another new type of film but fate had other things in mind. Savak Vacha had gone to London soon after we began to shoot Eight Days for the treatment of his mother. When he returned, the movie industry was in a crisis. Many companies had gone bankrupt and Bombay Talkies was in bad shape. A few years after the death of her husband, Himanshu Rai, Devika Rani had married a Russian émigré by the name of Svetoslav Roerich. She had also turned her back on movies. Many efforts


Top Bishop: George Soros Pays Catholic Church Officials to Promote EU Migration

Vatican whistleblower reveals migrant crisis in Europe is orchestrated by Deep State

George Soros is being the EU migrant crisis says Vatican whistleblower

A senior Catholic Church bishop has gone on the record to blow the whistle, revealing that key figures with the Catholic Church are on George Soros' payroll and working to promote a globalist agenda.

According to Vatican Bishop Athanasius Schneider, billionaire Soros and his Deep State cronies are puppeteering high-ranking clergy to help to eradicate Christianity in the West by flooding European countries with migrants.

Bishop Schneider made the bombshell revelation during an interview with Italian daily Il Giornale.

The auxiliary bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan, claims the Catholic Church has been infiltrated with Deep State operatives and is beingused as a pawn to radically alter the Christian roots of Europe.

Speaking to the newspaper last week, Schneider said:

“The migrant crisis represents a plan orchestrated and prepared for a long time by international powers to radically alter the Christian and national identity of the peoples of Europe.”

Liberal Pope Francis has been raising eyebrows for a long time over his continued push for a borderless world.

Due to the Catholic Church's immense influence over its loyal flock of Christians across the globe, the reasoning behind Schneider's claims certainly makes sense.

In the WikiLeaks release of John Podesta's emails, there was a discussion of the Deep State creating fake Catholic groups to influence the public, in which Hillary Clinton's then-campaign manager dubbed a "Catholic Spring."

Breitbart reports: To achieve their objectives, these powers


by standing up to the European Union (EU), which he compared to the Soviet Union.

The bishop said he would applaud the government of any European nation that “tries to accentuate its own sovereignty and its historical, cultural, and Christian identity in the face of the totalitarianism of a sort of new Soviet Union, which today is called the European Union and has an unmistakably Masonic ideology.”

Schneider’s words were especially poignant given his background, having been born in the Soviet Union in 1961, the child of ethnic German Catholics whom Joseph Stalin sent to gulags after the Second World War.

The criticisms leveled by Bishop Schneider echoed similar concerns voiced by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has also fought to retain the “Christian” identity of Europe as well asremoval until March 19, 1997, or thirty-three days later. Thus, it appears that the Barrys' notice of removal was not timely filed.

Suárez held talks over his future with the Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers and the chief executive Ian Ayre on Thursday. The club's refusal to discuss how the meeting went has been interpreted by Arsenal as a positive sign for them. If Suárez had indicated any willingness to stay at Anfield, then Liverpool would have been expected to publicise it.

Arsenal's strategy when they made their second offer for Suárez of one pound over £40m on Tuesday was to put pressure on a clause in the Uruguayan's contract, which they were led to believe would permit him to open negotiations with them


his transfer should they wish to do so.

Arsenal, whose opening offer for Suárez was worth £30m plus £5m in add-ons, are now ready to go higher, as they seek what would be a stunning coup. They have never previously paid more than £15m for a player. They are aware, though, that Liverpool will not countenance Suárez's sale unless there is a bid of more than £50m. Suárez scored 30 goals in Rodgers' debut season in charge and Liverpool's hopes of returning to the Champions League rest on him.

Real Madrid continue to lurk in the background, and they have indicated to Suárez's representatives that they have an interest in signing him. Their bank balance has been boosted by the £32m that they received from Napoli for the striker GonzaloJody Chiang

Jody Chiang or Jiang Hui (), born Jiang Shuhui (), is a Taiwanese popular singer. She began recording in the 1980s and retired in 2015, having released 60 albums. Her trademark ballads and folk songs are typically sung in Taiwanese. Her role in Taiwan's popular music scene is often compared to that of Teresa Teng. She is the older sister of Chiang Shu-na.

Early career
Chiang's mother was a food vendor and her father a glove puppeteer. She grew up in a poor family and quit school at the age of ten to begin singing at warehouses and bars in Beitou, Taipei. She started her commercial singing career in 1981 with a Japanese language album, and was signed to Country Records two years later. Chiang held her first concert


Sydney Development Association (GSDA), and in 1921 purchased 259 ha of land in North Sydney. The GSDA's goal was the development of an idyllic community with a consistent architectural feel and bushland setting. Walter Burley Griffin as managing director of the GSDA designed all the buildings built in the area until 1935. Castlecrag was the first suburb to be developed by the GSDA. The Redding House and several others in Castelcrag were also built in Knitlock. Almost all the houses Griffin designed in Castlecrag were small and had flat roofs, and he included an internal courtyard in many of them. Griffin used what was at that time the novel concept of including native bushland in these designs. He came to be referred to as "The Wizard of Castlecrag".

between cannabis and alcohol use of Australians aged 14-49 years and the unemployment rate and real income per capita, two indicators of the business cycle. Australians in their late 20s, 30s and 40s drink less frequently during economic downturns. If unemployment rate rises are accompanied by falls in income per capita, younger Australians will also drink less frequently. Recent participation in cannabis use (within the last year) increases with falls in income per capita regardless of age, although the increase is less marked for young people (14-24 years). Whereas the participation rate of people aged 25-49 years also falls with rising unemployment rates, the participation of younger people increases. Cannabis users younger than 35 will use more frequently as the unemployment rate rises. In contrast, older Australians willto the negative attitude in major areas of psychiatry.

The US has withdrawn the credentials of five out of Russia's six honorary consuls, citing the harassment of its own staff in Russia.

The US State Department said it was ready to take further measures "if there are additional efforts" to impede diplomatic and consular activity.

Spokesman Mark Toner said there had been "widespread harassment" of staff.

Russia reacted angrily to the move, accusing the US of spreading anti-Russian propaganda.

Honorary consuls provide consular assistance in cities that are a long distance from full-time diplomatic missions.

The consuls affected were US nationals based in Puerto Rico, Florida, Utah, California and Minnesota, the Russian foreign ministry said.

Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said US intelligence was conducting "provocations againstemployees of Russian diplomatic missions, and not only in the United States".

"The decision on the honorary consuls continues the Barack Obama administration's policy aimed at curbing ties with our country," she said in a statement.

Mr Toner said the move would not affect Russia's embassy in Washington DC or any of its other formal diplomatic operations in the US.

"This action is being taken in response to continued Russian interference with our diplomatic and consular operations in Russia, including, but not limited to, widespread harassment of our personnel, as well as the forced closure of the American Center in Moscow and 28 American Spaces throughout Russia," he said.

"We are prepared to take further appropriate measures if there are additional efforts to impede our diplomatic and consular activities in Russia."

I started with my 17 year old hound, Jebadiah. In 2012, when Jebbie was 12 years old (and had already lived what most would call a full dog’s life,) he got in a fight with a brown bear…and lost. He dragged himself home, and it took several months before he could stand on his hind end–and, even then, it was both back legs working as one. It was no wonder to us that, as he aged, his back end was a source of pain and decreasing mobility for him. He had also developed glaucoma–his eyes were clouded over, and he moved like he couldn’t see very well, ifliberal newspapers and online media outlets that are read and accessed by a tiny fraction of the country’s populace.

Finally, the mainstream media have not been obsessed with Russia itself, but with the alleged actions of the Kremlin, Russian secret services, and Russian internet trolls in connection with the 2016 US presidential election. Period.

There is a another Russia, populated by 143 million people, that had nothing whatsoever to do with the story of the century. They did nothing to skew the outcome of the 2016 US presidential election and, in the main, their lives, aspirations, and actions are roundly ignored by the so-called mainstream media in the west and Russia itself. They are roundly ignored by the so-called alternative media, too, for the simple reason that much of the

He will miss the Revolution’s next MLS match against New York City FC on Saturday, March 24 (NBC Sports Boston – 1:30 p.m. ET).

Németh, 29, will join the Hungary squad on Sunday, March 18 before the first of two friendly matches on Friday, March 23 against Kazakhstan. Hungary will then face Scotland in a friendly match on Tuesday, March 27. Both matches will kick off at 2:00 p.m. ET at Groupama Arena in Budapest, Hungary.

Németh owns 32 career caps and three goals for Hungary in his senior international career. He was last named to Hungary’s squad for a pair of international friendlies in November


2017, when he made two appearances and one start. In 2016, Németh played in three World Cup Qualifying matches and added two starts in EURO 2016. His first appearance at the senior level with Hungary came on May 29, 2010 in a friendly against Germany.

Having largely stayed out of the football spotlight since his departure from Essendon at the end of 2015, Hird was welcomed back into the fold when he presented this year's Norm Smith Medal to Richmond superstar Dustin Martin.

Hird, who won the Norm Smith Medal in Essendon's 2000 triumph, was due to present it as the AFL enlists previous winners to present the honour in chronological order.

However, the Brownlow medallist and club great is yet to have had any official involvement at the club since he left as senior coach after a disastrous 2015 season, which was the end of three years in the headlines, including a 12-month ban


for his role in the supplements saga.

On Tuesday, Campbell reiterated the club's view that the 253-gamer and former captain is welcome when he is ready.

"We've spoken about this on a lot of occasions now and we've had discussions with James and James is well aware that he's more than welcome to come back at any point in the near future," Campbell said.

"I think he will in time. I do, but he needs to make that decision when he feels comfortable."

Meanwhile, the Bombers will ramp up their search for Rob Kerr's replacement in their football manager position.

Essendon is keen to have the role filled by Christmas, but says it has not yet spoken with former AFL executive Simon Lethlean about the position.

The Bombers are aiming to pass 70,000 membersNational Sports Museum at the MCG

DECISION AND ORDER
VICTOR MARRERO, District Judge.
Plaintiffs Laurence Ciccone ("Ciccone") and Christine Ciccone (collectively, "Plaintiffs") brought this action in New York State Supreme Court against defendants Mitchell Hersh ("Hersh"), New England Life Insurance Company ("New England"), and American Portfolios Financial Services, Inc. ("American Portfolios")advice from Hersh about retirement and investment options. At that time, Hersh was dually registered as a representative with New England and American Portfolios pursuant to a Dual Registration Agreement (the "Agreement"). According to the Agreement, New England was responsible for supervising Hersh in connection with the solicitation and sale of its variable life insurance policies and American Portfolios was responsible for supervising Hersh in connection with securities or variable contracts approved by American Portfolio.
Ciccone was employed by Charles H. Schwab, Inc. ("Schwab") for approximately eighteen years and was entitled to receive options for shares of stock in Schwab (the "Shares") as part of his compensation package upon retirement. By April 2000, the Shares had declined in value from approximately $7 million to $5 million. In May 2000,


Annuity and the Life Insurance Policies (collectively, "the Investments") were nondiscretionary, meaning that Plaintiffs retained full responsibility for trading decisions with respect to the Annuity and *577 only Plaintiffs were authorized to make changes to the Investments.
By September 2001, the value of the Annuity had decreased by more than 50 percent, but Hersh advised Plaintiffs to remain in the Annuity. In October 2001, Hersh was terminated by American Portfolios and the Annuity was transferred to New England as the new broker/dealer of record. In 2002, New England terminated Hersh. Plaintiffs last communicated with Hersh in or about January and February 2002. In November 2002, Plaintiffs were informed that Nationwide Planning Associates ("Nationwide") was the current broker/dealer of record for the Annuity and that Hersh was still the agentto these questions can serve as one indicator of the level of inherent conscious linking of PEVs and GEs among different consumer groups.

GE designs also differed across the three vehicle segments (figure 2 ).

This result excludes the more than one third of the HEVBs and PEVBs who reported they already owned home solar panels, and thus did not complete the GE design game. Of the respondents that did select some form of GE program, the most popular program across all three segments was the home solar installation (particularly popular among PEVBs), followed by the monthly GE program (14%–18%). The two-year GE lease was

All Regional CSCs have been able to execute the critical processes independently for stroke management since 2011. The Ministry of Health and Welfare was responsible for program development and financial support, the Regional CSC for program execution, and the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for auditing the execution. We analyzed prospectively collecteddata on the required indices from 2011 and repeated the analysis the following year for comparison. After the Regional CSCs were established, the first brain image was taken within 1 hour from arrival at the emergency room for all patients with stroke; the length of hospital stay decreased from 14 to 12 days; for the rapid execution of thrombolysis, the first brain image was taken within 12 minutes; intravenous and intra-arterial thrombolysis were started within 40 and 110 minutes, respectively, after emergency room arrival; and the hospital stay of thrombolytic patients decreased from 19 to 15 days. The Regional CSC program has improved the performance of acute stroke management in South Korea and can be used as a model for rapidly improving stroke management.


Image caption Jim Fitzpatrick questions Sean Quinn in Dublin

An investigation by BBC NI's Spotlight into Sean Quinn's empire has tracked down the headquarters of a company that controls more than $100m-worth of assets belonging to Irish taxpayers.

Jim Fitzpatrick travelled to Belize on the hunt for a company that has laid claim to the millions.

Mr Quinn went bankrupt in January owing 2.8bn euros to the Anglo Irish Bank.

It hoped to recover around 500m euros through sales of Quinn Group's international property portfolio

However, the bank, now nationalised and called Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, soon discovered that it had lost control of these valuable assets.

The business empire Sean Quinn built up was itself effectively nationalised last year, leaving taxpayers to inherit the massive debts.

In Ukraine, the bank's appointed property director isbad for business, whoever is in charge of that place," he said.

The dismissed management remain in charge and Mr Levinzon remains locked out.

Meanwhile, the bank is losing almost $1m a month in rent due to Irish taxpayers.

The programme uncovers documentary evidence in Sweden which demonstrates that Sean Quinn was part of a secret boardroom coup which put him back in charge of the property empire weeks after he had been dismissed from the Quinn Group.

And in Belize, where the biggest slice of taxpayers' money is now tied up, Spotlight finds its surprising home.

is a 4.1 acre tract of land which is located on portions of Mineral Point, Oxford, Mohawk, Lone Jack and Lone Pine Lodes of Mineral Surveys 1065 and 1073 (MS 1065 and MS 1073), near Terry Peak road in Nevada Gulch, Lawrence County, South Dakota. This land was originally patented to New Era Mining Company in 1896. Anaconda obtained title to this land in 1973 from Golden Reward Mining Company, who had obtained it through various conveyances leading back to New Era Mining Company.
Bartels' title is rooted in a 1942 quitclaim deed from Joe Krieger to Charles Franklin DuBois. The 1942 deed stated, in part, that the property transferred was: "[A] [s]ix room house, including all additions and outbuildings upon the premises located on a portion of M.S.# 1073 known as the Lone Pine and Lone Jack Lodes, in Nevada Gulch, about two and one-half miles westerly from Lead, South Dakota." In 1947, DuBois transferred this to John Migotti, who in turn transferred it to Floyd I. Bell. In 1956, Bell conveyed this property to Julius E. Schaefer and his wife. In 1972, the Bartels obtained this property from Schaefer by a quitclaim deed; which contained substantially the same description as the 1942 deed with the following addition: "Further description of the property: House and other improvements being located on Golden Reward Mining Ground...."
On January 15, 1979, the Bartels brought a quiet title action against Anaconda, after it had requested that they vacate the land. Anaconda counterclaimed for title to the land and for a

Following the success of Volksentscheid Fahrrad in Berlin, which now commits Germany’s capital city to a 600 million euro programme of transformation of its cycling infrastructure, a number of its key activists have helped establish Changing Cities. This new organisation draws together cycling activists from across Germany to fight for a nationwide transport transition. Focussing on city campaigns, the organisation sent out invitations for an initial meeting in January 2019 More than ten different cities accepted, resulting in a meeting in Kassel – marking the start for coordinated and cooperative work to influence Germany’s national elections in 2021.

The mean growth rates of most phytoplankters were higher in the mesotrophic zone than in the eutrophic zone during each season. In winter, the growth rate of Chlamydomonas elongus was evidently greater during the seventh day of the experiment (Period III) than during the first day (Period I) in the mesotrophic chamber. As Chlamydomonas species occur as mesotrophic species in natural waters, Chlamydomonas elongus must acclimatize easily from the oligotrophic habitat to the mesotrophic environmental condition.

How
could 'any' Beatles album be classed as 'overlooked' - especially in Britain?

When
the UK saw the release of "Magical Mystery Tour" on 8 December 1967 -
it was a 7" single book-pack - a double 2 x 45 'EP' on Parlophone MMT 1
(Mono) and SMMT 1 (Stereo) with only 6-songs - all culled from the movie of the
same name.

Our
American pals had it different and a couple of weeks earlier too. Theirs was
the full 11-track album on Capitol MAL 2835 (Mono) and Capitol SMAL 2835
(Stereo). Released 27 November 1967 – the US LP used the 6-songs of the British
double-EP as Side 1 and added five sides of three UK 45s The Beatles issued in
1967 as Side 2.

In
short – the Yanks have always had the album. But in Blighty


- and I genuinely
have to double-take on this factoid whenever I see it - "Magical Mystery
Tour" the LP (as we know it) wasn't officially released by EMI until the
19th of November 1976! There were original 1967 US import copies on Capitol
Records of both LP variants brought into UK shops - but they weren't that
common. So as far as most British fans were concerned - "Magical Mystery
Tour" was 'that ditty' The Beatles did at the end of a very productive
year (June's "Sgt. Peppers..." was just ending a long number 1 LP run
when the "...Tour..." Double EP was released in December). The
"Magical Mystery Tour" album in their native land has always seemed
like some kind of afterthought - a sort of 'best of 1967 tracks' compilation
given a more cohesive name.

MacLeod could not be criticised for failing to take measures to avoid the impact, despite the car's siren and flashing lights.

The officer, who entered the roundabout at 55mph, was driving at an excessive speed in circumstances where he could not bring the car to a halt in time to avoid the accident, against the Met's own policy, the judge said.

"The manner of his driving plainly fell below an acceptable standard and he failed to drive with such care and skill

"The reality is that he would have arrived at the rendezvous point within the expected response time if he had driven to the speed limit. But for the breach of duty, the injury to the claimant would not have occurred."

CLEVELAND — Trevor Bauer’s final act for the Indians was throwing a ball over the center-field wall.

Yasiel Puig ended his season with Cincinnati in another brawl.

Cleveland agreed to trade Bauer, the talented but taxing right-hander, to the Reds on Tuesday night for Puig in a three-team deal that also involves the San Diego Padres, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press.

The Indians, who are trying to catch the Minnesota Twins in the AL Central, also would get left-hander Scott Moss from Cincinnati and slugging outfielder Franmil Reyes, lefty Logan Allen and infielder Victor Nova from the Padres, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the trade had not been announced.

San Diego would receive minor-league outfielder Taylor Trammell from the Reds, the personsaid.

In his last start for the Indians on Sunday, Bauer, who is not eligible for free agency until after the 2020 season, threw a ball in frustration from the mound in Kansas City over the center-field wall. The moment seemed to push the Indians over the edge with the enigmatic 28-year-old, who has one of baseball’s best arms but can be difficult.

Bauer was fined by Major League Baseball for his startling heave, a person familiar with the discipline told the AP. The person spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity because the discipline was not announced.

Bauer exchanged hugs with several teammates in the clubhouse following Cleveland’s 2-0 loss to Houston


with the Reds, who acquired him in December in a seven-player swap with the Dodgers.

The Cuban-born outfielder has a career .275 average with 130 homers and 391 RBIs in 812 games. He’s eligible for free agency after the 2019 season.

Bauer is 9-8 with a 3.79 ERA in 24 starts this season, but he hasn’t been as consistent as the Indians have needed while waiting for two-time Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber (broken arm) and Carlos Carrasco (leukemia) to return to their rotation. Bauer had angered the Indians during the offseason for comments he made after winning his arbitration case and pledging he would only sign one-year deals going forward.

Cleveland has been looking to add power to its lineup and Puig and Reyes will help.

However, Puig is facinga possible suspension after he was involved in another brawl with the Pirates just as the trade was coming together.

In the ninth inning, Reds reliever Amir Garrett rushed the Pirates’ dugout and threw punches, starting a brawl prolonged by Puig. As he left the field for the final time, Puig was given a warm ovation from Reds fans. He was also at the center of a melee between the teams in April, when Puig seemed to be taking on the entire Pirates team by himself near home plate.

The 24-year-old Reyes hit .255 with 27 homers and 46 RBIs in 99 games with the Padres this season. In his last 29 games, the right-handed hitter is batting .290 with eight homers and 13 RBIs.


Rosneft and Transneft Make Peace

Russia’s largest oil company Rosneft and oil pipeline monopoly Transneft have reached a compromise on the transport of oil and oil products for 2017. Rosneft had held out on signing a contract for 2017, which would have left Rosneft without a means to ship their product and Transneft with billion of lost revenue from transport fees.

The dispute between the two power players is longstanding, and stems from the disagreement over compensation payments.

Novatek CEO Nikolai Tokarev and Rosneft head Igor Sechin are both long-time Putin allies, having worked under the President in the 1990s for the city of Saint Petersburg. The two bosses recently met with Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak and presented the final resolution.

Under the agreement, Rosneft will transport 180,346 million tons ofPhilippine Defense Chief Eyes Subic Bay Amid Chinese Takeover Fears

Philippines authorities should take over a major shipyard that sits on the site of a former U.S. navy base, or risk letting it fall into the hands of the Chinese who could use it as a regional foothold amid contentious South China Sea claims, Filipino officials said Thursday.

Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said he had met with President Rodrigo Duterte and other officials on Wednesday, including Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin, to discuss ways for the Philippines to take over the facility in Subic Bay from its failing South Korean operator and keep it in local hands.

Subic, along with the nearby Clark Air Base, used to host one of the largest U.S. military facilities outside of the mainland United States. The bases were key staging points during the Vietnam War.

At the end of the Cold War, the last U.S. military ship sailed out of Subic in 1992 after a nationalist Philippine Senate voted then to end a lease agreement, which allowed the Americans to operate in the area for years.

Last week, Hanjin Philippines, the local unit of South Korea’s Hanjin Heavy Industries and Construction, filed for rehabilitation after it defaulted on some U.S. $400 million in loans, reports said. The firm also owed about $900 million to creditors in South Korea.

He photographed everyone and made everyone look incredible. The AD article was written by another icon, Suzy, aka Aileen Mehle, whom he photographed several times. Not sure, but I believe he was responsible for many of the iconic images of the Estee Lauder ad campaigns during this period. According to the article from about 1999-2000: "Skrebneski has lived in his Chicago residence, originally a Victorian-era coach house, for almost 50 years. The mansion in front of it was demolished more than 30 years ago,


making space for a courtyard with an allée of trees and boxwood topiaries. Skrebneski and Chicago interior decorator Bruce Gregga gently redesigned the coach house to accommodate a studio on the first floor and living quarters on the second. What Skrebneski wanted was a modern house, even minimalist, with spaces perfectly proportioned. He envisioned it with an artist's eye, as he views everything. The spare look is introduced by a recently added entrance hall with floors, walls and staircase molded entirely out of concrete. This rectangular, almost stark space is relieved, however, by a carved wood 17th century Italian figure, and on the landing just above it are a Jean-Michel Frank five-panel parchment screen and a bronze–doré Diego Giacometti bench.".

Johanna Konta appoints Michael Joyce as new coach

The British number one has been looking for a replacement for Wim Fissette since they parted company in October and has turned to the 44-year-old, who used to coach Maria Sharapova.

Joyce will be in Konta's camp for the first tournament of the new season in Brisbane, starting on January 1.

"Michael is a fantastic coach with a great pedigree and I'm really excited to work with him," she announced on Wednesday.

Joyce has previously worked with Maria Sharapova. Credit: AP

"2017 has been amazing but I feel like there is so much more to come.

"Our first tournament together will be the Brisbane International and the plan is for Michael to travel with me full-time through 2018."

Konta ended her partnership with Fissette after a disappointingend to what had been an impressive 2017. She won her biggest singles title of her career in Miami and followed that up with a run to the Wimbledon semi-final, which sent her to number four in the world.

But that proved the high point of her campaign and a poor run of form in the autumn saw her part ways with Fissette in October.

Dora Garcia and her minor children. Plaintiffs' decedent, Gilbert Garcia, was admitted to Queen of Angels Hospital (hospital) on November 29, 1971, as the private patient of Dr. Siegfried Halpern for tests and examination concerning a gastric problem. On November 30, 1971, Dr. Halpern brought Dr. Martin Lewis into the case as a surgical consultant. Dr. Lewis was a surgeon in private practice and a member of the medical staff at the hospital. Staff membership signifies that a physician holds the privilege of practicing at the hospital. Dr. Lewis was not a hospital employee.
From December 1, 1971, until his death on December 10, 1971, Mr. Garcia was Dr. Lewis's private patient. On December 7, 1971, Dr. Lewis performed gastric surgery upon Mr. Garcia. Following that surgery, Mr. Garciaparty to the policy which covered the hospital and its employees. During discovery in the underlying wrongful death litigation, Dr. Lewis testified that he was uninsured against medical malpractice liability.
Early in 1976, prior to any request for defense by Dr. Lewis, Truck substantially completed a settlement on behalf of the hospital and the two resident-employees. All other defendants, except Dr. Lewis, also settled.
*433 On April 1, 1976, for the first time, Dr. Lewis, through his counsel, demanded that Truck defend him and pay attorneys' fees already incurred.[1] A second demand letter threatened that if Truck refused to assume Dr. Lewis's defense, Lewis would stipulate with plaintiffs that he was negligently responsible for the death of plaintiffs' decedent and that his negligence was of a type that would provide


Angels Hospital. In 1953, acting on behalf of its member hospitals, CHA negotiated the subject insurance policy with Truck. The policy has been in effect since 1954 and has been amended from time to time since then. Mr. Ludlam represented CHA in both the original negotiations in 1953 and in the 1969 negotiations which resulted in the addition of section III(d) to the policy. In 1953 Truck was a newcomer in the hospital liability field and was anxious to secure an agreement with CHA. CHA had three final proposals for liability insurance to choose from at the time it entered negotiations with Truck. CHA's bargaining position was at least equal to Truck's. The provisions of the policy were negotiated paragraph by paragraph. The exclusionary provision which is nowsection V(6) has been in the policy from the beginning, and specifically excludes liability for direct patient care by a private doctor of his private patient.
Section III(d) was added in 1970 in response to concerns expressed by staff physicians that they might be exposed to malpractice liability for uncompensated volunteer services rendered to the hospital, such as committee activities and educational services. The term "supervisory" was designed *435 to cover physicians volunteering on committees or as department heads directing the activities of hospital personnel. The phrase "instructional services" was inserted to protect staff physicians volunteering educational services to resident physicians, interns, nurses and other hospital personnel either in classroom settings or in the charity clinics. In adding section III(d), CHA did not intend to extend coverage under the

Muñecos de Papel was a fictional Mexican pop group that appeared on the 1991 telenovela, Alcanzar Una Estrella II. Its members were Sasha Sokol, at the time a former member from real life pop group Timbiriche, that also "shared" members Bibi Gaytán and Erik Rubin. The group was also formed by Ricky Martin (post-Menudo), soloist singer Pedro Fernández and the actress Angélica Rivera, that later became the First Lady of Mexico.

They recorded 2 albums for 2 different music labels.  The first one for Sony Music, titled Muñecos de Papel, included: Siento performed by Sasha Sokol,  Juego de Ajedrez performed by Ricky Martin, Para Llegar performed by Angélica Rivera, Oro performed by Pedro Fernández, and the famous track performed by the group, Muñecos de Papel,
