Of The Campaign?

Following the incident, the 68-year-old went to recuperate in her daughter's Manhattan apartment - but there was no information on whether she required medical attention.

As she left the building two hours later, she waved to reporters and said: "I'm feeling great. It's a beautiful day in New York."

Clinton Calls Trump Supporters 'Deplorables'

Mr Trump has repeatedly raised questions about his rival's health and whether she has the energy to serve as president.

And in his Fox News interview he went on to promise to release the results of his latest physical examination, saying: "Hopefully they're going to be good. I feel great. I'll be releasing very, very specific numbers."

:: Clinton's Medical History In Spotlight After Fall

During Mrs Clinton's speech at a campaign rally earlier this month in Cleveland,she was interrupted by a coughing fit.

When she attempted to continue speaking after drinking some water, she quipped: "Every time I think about Trump I get allergic."

Hillary Clinton: Would You Vote For Her?

In December 2012, Mrs Clinton suffered a concussion and shortly after had a blood clot.

A letter released by her doctor in July described the candidate as being in "excellent health" and "fit to serve" in the White House.

Mrs Clinton's allies says this latest incident shows her resilience as a candidate, with former aide Peter Daou arguing: "After being diagnosed with pneumonia, Hillary Clinton ran a two-hour national security meeting, gave a press conference, and spent an hour and a half in the heat at a September 11 event.

"It was an impressive feat of physical strength that


undermined weeks of health conspiracies."

Donald Trump: Would You Vote For Him?

Nonetheless, the health episode is the latest setback for Mrs Clinton's campaign.

On Friday, she was accused of insulting millions of Americans by saying half of Mr Trump's supporters belong in a "basket of deplorables" of racists, homophobes, sexists, xenophobes and Islamophobes.

The Democratic nominee later said she regretted her remarks at an LGBT fundraiser in New York.

School makes teens take Breathalyzers after champagne bottle found on their bus

Students say it was left over from one of charter company's previous clients

All 40 passed, but by the time tests completed, prom was almost over, students say

School says it has zero-tolerance policy and all students agreed to be tested

It wasn't a matter of "all dressed up and no place to go" for a group of Florida high schoolers. Rather, it was more that they were all dressed up and told they couldn't go -- until they took sobriety tests.

Forty students from Jensen Beach High School booked a private charter bus, or party bus, to take them to prom. When they arrived, they were


were finished with the Breathalyzers by about 11:45 -- roughly in line with the school's timeline of events.

"When we pulled up, it was 10:30. By the time they got the Breathalyzers, it was 11. I got done at 11:47," student Kaelyn Drazkowski, 18, told CNN affiliate WPTV.

Drazkowski further said it was disappointing that school officials didn't even apologize. Her mother concurred, saying the students worked hard to graduate, paid a lot of money to attend prom and the school "made them feel like criminals."

Lyn Drazkowski said she condones the school's policy and process, but the champagne bottle was dry, shoved behind a booth on the bus. As their classmates were entering and exiting prom, they passed by Kaelyn Drazkowski and her pals, which was humiliating for the group.

"Mydaughter comes home and cries herself to sleep," Lyn Drazkowski told CNN. "It's a night that she'll never get back."

Student Cassidy Bass told WPTV that they pleaded with school officials to no avail.

"We said, 'It's not ours.' Every single person would vouch and say, 'It's not mine.' And they just didn't believe us," she said.

Her father told CNN he has no problem with the school's zero-tolerance policy, but he feels school officials went overboard. These are good kids, he said.

"(The students) knew they could be Breathalyzed and purses searched. They knew a school resource officer would go on the bus. They knew it in advance. Why would they spend money to go on the bus and risk it all for one empty bottle?" Doug Bass asked.

Albert Pujols, who is battling Atlanta third baseman Chipper Jones for the National League batting crown, capped an amazing offensive series with a two-run homer in the first inning and finished with a 2-for-2 day. Pujols, who went 8-for-10 in the series, is less than a percentage point behind Jones (.35946 to .35867) in a 6-3 win.

With the help of rookie Brian Barton who got the start, he responded with a career-high three hits, including a two-run double in the second that gave the Cardinals the lead for good. Barton beat out a bunt in the sixth for his third hit and then left for a pinch-runner due to a strained right oblique.

Cardinals manager Tony La Russa also got Joe Mather into the lineup on


Sunday, and Mather drove in the final two runs. The

The six runs were nice for Braden Looper, who had been just 2-3 over his previous five decisions despite posting a 2.03 ERA in that span. Looper recovered nicely after the shaky second inning, and he got a defensive boost in the sixth when right fielder Ryan Ludwick threw out Jones at the plate as he tried to score from second on a Martin Prado single.

That's my reflection in the car window.

These are some students from Clark College that gathered in front of Dr. King's tomb at Southview Cemetery for a small ceremony which took place after the Ebenezer Baptist Church event. Do you see anyone that you can identify?

Many adoring fans sought to get close enough to Harry Belfaonte to shake his hand, but because of this extraordinary event for which he was in Atlanta, they showed restraint and respect during his visit.

You can also see a partial view of Mr. Isacc Farris Sr. onand friends. I have been told that there are very few recorded and published images from this first birthday celebration which make the photographs that you are seeing here extremely rare. I've seen no others.

This was my first time ever taking pictures at an event. My brother in service had sent me a camera from overseas and I took it along just to have it. While insde the church with my fraternity brothers, a lady saw me with my camera and escorted me down to the front of the church with the news media.

Mrs. King is being protected by police officers and civil rights workers as she leaves Ebenezer Baptist Church. Notice the three vintage reel to reel movie cameras which television stations used to record stories during

Millionaire on the run: How the man who founded software giant McAfee lost his fortune and ended up hiding from police in Belize after they 'rousted him from the bed of a 17-year-old and shot his dog because he's running a meth lab'

John McAfee was once worth $100million but lost nearly all his fortune and moved to Central America in 2008

Belize security claim he had illegal weapons and drugs and that he was arrested with 17-year-old girl

In post on private messageboard, McAfee says he has not left his hideout for five days and only has three DVDs and an iPad - without a charger

Distributed world's first marketable anti-virus software from his home in California in the late 1980's.

Known to enjoy alternative therapies, new age teachings and yoga

Employed Wiccanwitches to bang drums at the headquarters of his eponymous anti-virus software firm

Allegedly turned a blind eye to his employees using McAfee Associates first offices for sex games in the early 1990s.

Faces a $5 million wrongful death lawsuit in the U.S after 61-year-old man died flying an aircraft owned by one of his firms in 2006

He was the man who made millions by creating one of the world's most successful internet security firms.

John McAfee - co-founder of McAfee - had for many years enjoyed the lavish trappings of wealth afforded by his $100m fortune.

But, in an extraordinary fall from grace, the 66-year-old is today in hiding in Belize after his home was raided for allegedly harbouring illegal drugs and weapons and - according to authorities - running a


'meth lab'.

Lying low: McAfee, is pictured at his former home in Rodeo, New Mexico

The arrest is the culmination of a bizarre new chapter in the life of the former multimillionaire who fled the U.S. after the fortune he made from his internet security software was in danger of being wiped out by a series of lawsuits and the financial crash.

The tattooed tycoon - born in Britain and raised in the U.S. - had tried to build a new life by starting an antibiotics firm in the tiny Central American country and is rumoured to have set up home with a 17-year-old girl.

The age of consent in Belize is 16-years-old for both sexes.

But earlier this month his new venture fell apart when he was arrested because he - heclaims - he refused to donate money to a local politician.

Away from everything: John Mcafee's beachfront compound in Belize burned down on May 16

This is the dog that was owned by McAfee that he claims Belize's Gang Suppression Unit shot earlier this year

Now he has resorted to protesting his innocence by posting on the internet from a secret location.

McAfee's arrest completes an astonishing turnaround in the life of a man who was once viewed as one of the great success stories of the technological age.

After his company suffered setbacks, the yoga lover moved to Belize in 2008 and then launched a bid to make antibiotics from jungle plants. As of 2009 his fortune, once valued at $100million, had fallen to $4million.

That year he finished liquidating his U.S. real


estate holdings which included 280-acres in Colorado, a beachfront estate in Hawaii, properties in Arizona and Texas, and a ranch in Rodeo, New Mexico.

He had long since left the company that bore his name, having cashed out of the antivirus company that bore his name in 1994.

Pictured are some of the weapons that Belize's Gang Suppression Unit claim they recovered from McAfee's home. He is now wanted for murder

He has had a series of much-younger girlfriends and followed his passions, saying in 2007, 'Success for me is, Can you wake up in the morning and feel like a 12-year-old?'

But this week he revealed his current legal ordeal at the hands of security forces who shot dead his dog, seized his passport and left him handcuffed for 14 hoursin the sun without food and water.

He was separated from his current girlfriend, who is rumoured to be 17-years-old.

They then placed him in a squalid prison cell where he had to sleep on the floor with four others, the technology sit e Gizmodo reported.

John McAfee has been a follower of alternative therapies and philosophies all his life and taught yoga after he sold his business

' Having spent one night already sleeping on the concrete floor of the Belize City jail I am not excited about the prospect of returning', Gizmodo quoted him as saying on a private messageboard.

Mr McAfee said there were no beds in prison and a milk carton served as a toilet for everybody - until a drunk entered the cell at 1am and kicked it


over.

Revealing that he had not left his one-room hideout for five days, Mr McAfee posted that he had no cable or satellite TV, no books and just three DVDS - The Human Stain, Tierra and Naked.

He had an iPad but no charger, so was 'rationing' its use.

Whereas the device's remaining charge was at 21 per cent at the start of the post, he revealed it was down to only 17 per cent when he logged off.

Judy McAfee was John's wife and helped him launch his anti-software virus firm in the late 1980s

'For those of you who follow the news in Central America, you will know that I am in hiding in an undisclosed location in Belize,' said Mr McAfee.

'Hiding out is no fun. I've always wondered why peopleon the run turn themselves in in many cases.

'I now know the answer - boredom. '

In an interview with Belize's News 5 on May 2, Mr McAfee d escribed the raid on his home in Orange Walk, Belize City, two days before.

He said he was woken up at 6am by the sound of bullhorns.

'I went outside and saw about 30 GSU [ Belize's Gang Suppression Unit] in full uniform, fully dressed, automatic weapons, storming through the property and driveway.

'I went back inside, got some clothes on, I came out. I was told to put up my hands up against the wall as were eleven other people in the compound.

'It began, innocently enough, with my refusal to donate to the local political boss of the district where I lived


in Orange Walk and I have given at least $2million in gifts to the police departments in Orange Walk, San Pedro, Belize City.'

The GSU said they found a cache of weapons at McAfee's property and that he did not have a licence to manufacture drugs.

In a statement, the GSU said: 'Present on the premises at the time were John McAfee, his girlfriend who is a 17-year-old Belizean girl and five security guards.

'During the search ten firearms - seven 12-gauge pump action shotguns, one 12-gauge single action shotgun, one Taurus nine-millimetre pistol and one nine-millimetre CZ pistol were found.'

Five air rifles and 270 12-gauge cartridges were also found, officers said.

In the private message-board post seen byin 1967 with a degree in mathematics and studied further mathematics at Virginia Tech until 1970.

As part of the electronics boom centred around California and Stanford University in particular, McAfee held down around a dozen different jobs in the area in the software industry.

He also set up an adult dating service called American Institute for Safe Sex Practices, which issued identification cards for people who tested HIV-negative.

It was during the mid 1980's that McAfee was working for Lockheed Corporation when he began designing his anti-virus software.

Part of John McAfee's home on Ambergris Caye, Belize

He developed antivirus computer programs and in 1989 started working full-time at his own company McAfee Associates, which he ran from his home in Santa Clara, California .

Operating out of his one-bedroom farmhouse on Cheeney


street in Santa Clara, California, he promoted his new eponymous software with the helpd of shareware - offering it for free initially to individuals, but charging them and large companies licenses to continue using it.

By 1992, more than half of the Fortune 100 companies had purchased licenses to use the software.

McAfee's key helpers in his early days were his wife at the time Judy, who also worked as a flight attendant with United Airlines and his right-hand man Aryeh Goretsky, who still operates within Silicone Valley.

Bizarrely, as the company expanded to larger offices he employed three Wiccan witches to beat hand drums on the offices front lawn, a handful of employees regularly practiced sword fights and others rehearsed Shakespeare.

It is also rumoured that during these formative years, ahis 1992 round-the-world show to pitch his initial public offering, the entrepreneur would dip into hotel lobby's and entertain passers-by with New Age compositions on the piano.

In 1994, he cashed in his share in his own company and moved to his secluded mansion in Woodland Park, Colorado, where he started the revolutionary Tribal Voice, a service which provided one of the first instant messaging services, predating Skype and Facebook by a decade.

Mr McAfee floated the company in New York in 1992 and had sold up completely by 1994 - making about £70m.

He later moved into property development and taught yoga.

One of the enthusiasts of the new sport was director Ang Lee (centre sitting), the director of 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon' and he is shown the ropes by John


McAfee (second left)

After Tribal Voice was sold for $17 in 1999, McAfee turned his attention to finding a different direction in his life, furthering his interests in yoga, jet skiing and developing his new sport, aerotrekking.

This involved flying small vehicles with large tarpaulin wingspans very low at 75-miles an hour close to the ground, which McAfee wanted to popularise as a national sport.

The millionaire bought a ranch in New Mexico and added another air-strip and gathered fellow trike enthusiasts to the property who called themselves 'Sky Gypsies'.

However, in late 2006, McAfee's nephew called Joel Gordon Bitow took a 61-year old passenger named Robert Gilson aerotrekking and fatally crashed.

A $5 million lawsuit was brought against McAfee by the family of Robert Gilson, claiming that Bitow was illegally serving asan instructor.

In fact, it is claimed that this wrongful death lawsuit was one of the precipitating factors in McAfee leaving the United States to set up his new life in Belize.

The lawsuit's status at this moment in time is unknown but it was filed at the Superior Court of Maricopa County, Arizona.

John McAfee is facing a $5 million wrongful death lawsuit in Arizona for the death in 2006 of a 61-year-old former Air Force veteran who died while using one of McAfee's aerotrekking craft

'I think he is trying to liquidate all property that could be used to collect a judgment, so that it's all beyond the reach of execution in the United States,' said the Gilson family attorney, Frank Fleming to Fastcompany.com

'So long as McAfee and the vast


majority of his wealth remain in Belize, it's going to be very hard for the family of Robert Gilson to collect any judgment won against McAfee in court.

'McAfee's not as bright as he thinks he is.

'He thinks he's outsmarted all the lawyers and the judges and all the juries. It's not going to happen.'

It is debatable whether McAfee has lost as much of his money as he states.

His attitude towards the media is notoriously manipulative and he frequently states un-truth's and makes false statements to further his own aims.

However, his property liquidation, move to Belize and suffering during the 2008 financial crisis are documented.

Before he left his home in New Mexico, McAfee sold off a 280-acre estate in Woodland Park, Colorado, a 5-acre beachfront estate on Molokai, Hawaii;and other properties in Arizona and Texas.

Several were sold at auction, including the last to go, his ranch in Rodeo, New Mexico.

Working on a starting an antibiotics firm in the tiny Central American country of Belize, McAfee is rumoured to be seeing a 17-year-old girl

As he became a Belize resident, he could secure his remaining assets there, safe in the knowledge that the country would not recognise any court judgement passed down from a US judge.

Certainly, people who visited him on the island said he did not seem that impoverished, and that he had set up a high-speed ferry company, a rickshaw firm, a water sports facility and an internet company.

A moderately advanced diatonic harmonica player can produce twelve additional tones by a process known as xe2x80x9cbending,xe2x80x9d whereby the player modifies the resonant volume in the vocal passage, principally with the tongue, to xe2x80x9cbendxe2x80x9d or adjust the tone produced to achieve the desired pitch. A xe2x80x9cbendxe2x80x9d is therefore a procedure involving the adjustment of the player""s embouchure wherein a tone is flatted by causing the normally idle lower-pitched reed of the reed pair in a harmonica to vibrate in its opening mode.
A more advanced player can also produce fouradditional tones by a technique known as xe2x80x9coverblowing,xe2x80x9d whereby the player more strictly matches the appropriate resonant volume with the tone he or she wishes to produce, typically causing the draw reed of the first, fourth, fifth, and sixth holes to produce tones corresponding to a flatted third of the low octave and a flatted third, fifth, and seventh respectively of the middle octave. Similarly, drawing and a strictly controlled shaping of the resonant passage will produce xe2x80x9coverdrawxe2x80x9d tones from the blow reeds corresponding to a sharped first, fifth and eighth of the highest octave.

It’s amazing how quickly fame and fortune can lead to ruin. It almost never fails. Case in point: Steve Coburn, the co-owner of California Chrome.

His horse won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness, and he was an unexpected, entertaining everyman, an unlikely owner of a possible Triple Crown winner. Then California Chrome finished fourth in the Belmont Stakes and the man lost his mind. Let’s hope it was a case of temporary insanity, because he seemed like a likable person before that.

In his rant on national TV, he spoke about limiting the Preakness and Belmont to horses who’ve run in the Kentucky Derby. Waiting to run in the Belmont Stakes and winning, as Tonalist did Saturday, is the coward’s way out, he said.

One other thing Coburn said wasThe war against ISIS isn’t going so great, with the self-appointed terror group standing up to a year of U.S. airstrikes in Syria and Iraq.

But that hasn’t kept defense contractors from doing rather well amidst the fighting. Lockheed Martin has received orders for thousands of more Hellfire missiles. AM General is busy supplying Iraq with 160 American-built Humvee vehicles, while General Dynamics is selling the country millions of dollars worth of tank ammunition.

According to the U.S. military, there are 6,300 contractors working in Iraq today, supporting U.S. operations. Separately, the State Department is seeking janitorial services, drivers, linguists, and security contractors to work at its Iraqi facilities.

While these numbers pale in comparison to the more than 163,000 working in Iraq at the peak of the Iraq War, they are steadily growing. And with the fight against ISIS expected to take several years, it also represents a growing opportunity for defense, security, and logistics contractors, especially as work in Afghanistan begins to dry up.

Argentina has five unofficial ambassadors, for whom the country is known throughout the world: soccer stars Lionel Messi and Diego Maradona, literary giant Jorge Luis Borges, Pope Francis, and the dinosaurs.

The newly discovered dinosaur had arms similar to those of the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Visual: Jorge González and Pablo Lara

Throughout this vast country’s extensive territory, from Jujuy in the north to Tierra del Fuego in the south, there are fossils — remains from the ancient kings of the earth, the largest animals ever to walk the planet.

Here, dinosaurs are both an industry — driving paleontological tourism — and a matter of state. As a result, constant announcements of new scientific


discoveries give rise to waves of national celebration. And this is precisely what happened this month. After nine years of work and countless bureaucratic hurdles, paleontologists unveiled the Gualicho shinyae, a new species of carnivorous dinosaur that lived in northern Patagonia 90 million years ago. “We were surprised, we weren’t expecting it,” said Sebastián Apesteguía, a paleontologist who previously discovered Buitreraptor gonzalezorum, the first complete raptor in the Southern Hemisphere; Najash rionegrina, a snake with hind legs; and a small mammal known as the Cronopio dentiacutus, among many others.

As was expected, news of the discovery, which involved researchers from the Field Museum in Chicago and the Dinosaur Institute at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, quickly spread around the world. But one small detail stood out:the names of the Argentinian scientists, like Apesteguía, and the organizations they belong to, including the Félix de Azara Foundation of Natural History and Argentina’s National Scientific and Technical Research Council (Conicet), were nowhere to be found.

The New York Times, BBC, New Scientist, Wired, The Guardian, Mic, Daily Mail, Science Daily, Popular Science, The Christian Science Monitor, and the Australian magazine Cosmos — none of them mentioned Aspesteguía. For these English-language media outlets, the discovery was wholly American. In telling the story of the dinosaur and its tiny arms, similar to those of the T. rex, the articles centered on Peter Makovicky, associate curator at the Field Museum in Chicago, and co-author of a paper published with Apesteguía in the journal PLOS One.

Where did Edmond Malone place the Tempest in the chronology of Shakespeare's plays?

In an excellent answer to one of my previous questions, verbose writes:

Since The Tempest is the first play printed in the First Folio, it was often assumed to be an early play. Scholars such as Edmond Malone and Edward Capell began tackling the chronology of Shakespeare's plays in the late 1700s. I have been unable to track down exactly where Malone and Capell placed The Tempest chronologically, as I don't have easy access to a university library and could not find the information online.

Some scholars now assume that The Tempest was printed as the first play in the First Folio because of the quality of the text that the printer could work from. Edmond Malone wasthe first scholar who tried to establish a chronology of Shakespeare's plays, namely in "An Attempt to Ascertain the Order in Which the Plays Attributed to Shakspeare Were Written", which was included in the first volume of The Plays of William Shakspeare (1778), a revised edition of Samuel Johnson's Shakespeare edition, created on co-operation with George Steevens.
The question is now where Malone put The Tempest in this first chronology. (He seems to have revised his chronology later; this question is specifically about the version published in 1778.)

A:

"An Attempt to Ascertain the Order in which the Plays Attributed to Shakespeare Were Written" can be found on pages 269 - 346 of the first volume of The Plays of William Shakespeare in Ten Volumes. The chronology itself can be found


on pages 274-275. It start with Titus Andronicus (1589) and ends with the following plays and years:

A Yorkshire Tragedy (1608; title in italics since doubtful)
Antony and Cleopatra (1608)
Coriolanus (1609)
Timon of Athens (1610)
Othello (1611)
The Tempest (1612)
Twelfth Night (1614)

Malone's arguments for dating The Tempest to 1612 can be found on pages 341-342. These arguments include a "dreadful tempest" in England in late 1612 and the account of the sailor Edmond Pet, who narrowly survived a tempest at sea, but he eventually describes the dating of this play as "[not] a very improbable conjecture".

His Bright Light

The Story of Nick Traina

"This is the story of an extraordinary boy with a brilliant mind, a heart of gold, and a tortured soul. It is the story of an illness, a fight to live, and a race against death."

From the day he was born, Nick Traina was his mother's joy. By nineteen, he was dead. This is Danielle Steel's powerful personal story of the son she lost and the lessons she learned during his courageous battle against darkness. Sharing tender, painful memories and Nick's remarkable journals, Steel brings us a haunting duet between a singular young man and the mother who loved him--and a harrowing portrait of a masked killer called manic depression, which afflicts between two and three million Americans.

Nick rocketed through life likea shooting star. Signs of his illness were subtle, often paradoxical. He spoke in full sentences at age one. He was a brilliant, charming child who never slept. And at first, even his mother explained away his quicksilver moods. Nick always marched to a different drummer. His gift for writing was extraordinary, his musical talent promised a golden future. But by the time he entered junior high, Danielle Steel saw her beloved son hurtling toward disaster and tried desperately to get Nick the help he needed--the opening salvos of what would become a ferocious pitched battle for his life.

Even as he struggled, Nick's charisma and accomplishments remained undimmed. He bared his soul in his journal with uncanny insight, in searing prose, poetry, and song. When he was finally


diagnosed and treated, it bought time, but too little. In the end, perhaps nothing could have saved him from the insidious disease that had shadowed him from his earliest years.

At once a loving legacy and an unsparing depiction of a devastating illness, Danielle Steel's tribute to her lost son is a gift of life, hope, healing, and understanding to us all.

this book was wonderful about Danielle steels life with her family and her work at writing booksl It was so sad that Nick died but he will always be remembered in our hearts.
Nick wrote journals and so gave us in insight in how he lilved an how he viewed life around him. His illnes was hard on the family and the doctors trying to findfacilitating socialization and housebreaking. In these modern times when so many couples work, and children are off at school, some planning must be done to accommodate the puppy while he is left alone. No puppy should be left loose in a house; even confined to the kitchen or utility room is not an ideal situation. A lonely puppy becomes a bored puppy, and quite soon damage is done to his surroundings. This is not good for the furnishings, nor is it good for the puppy, as many of these items when chewed and swallowed cause great harm and big veterinary bills. You will want to learn all about the proper use of a crate as a tool for training and housebreaking puppies.

The Basset's first instinct is to put


satisfaction of having trained you.

**H OUSING**

Since the types of housing and control you provide for your puppy have a direct relationship on the success of house-training, we consider the various aspects of both before we begin training.

Bringing a new puppy home and turning him loose in your house can be compared to turning a child loose in a sports arena and telling the child that the place is all his! The sheer enormity of the place would be too much for him to handle.

Instead, offer the puppy clearly defined areas where he can play, sleep, eat and live. A room of the house where the family gathers is the best choice. Puppies are social animals and need to feel a part of the pack right from the start.Dejuan Robinson

SOUTH PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A manhunt continues in South Philadelphia for the man who fled on foot after a police chase that began in Delaware and resulted in two separate crashes in the city.That man has been identified as 20-year-old Dejuan Robinson.Robinson remains on the loose after ultimately crashing the car he was driving into a SEPTA bus at Broad and


Wilmington police officers were injured, two of them when their car flipped on I-95.The suspect then made it off the highway, where his black Acura was involved in a collision involving a white SUV and a SEPTA bus at Broad Street and Oregon Avenue."He then gets out of the vehicle and flees on foot," said Philadelphia Police Capt. Sekou Kinebrew.A large number of heavily armed police officers, K-9 units and law enforcement helicopters converged in the area after it was initially believed Robinson was an armed and dangerous killer.At one point during the search, several officers rushed into a home in the 2900 block of Smedley Street after a woman heard glass breaking outside her window.It turned out to be a false alarm."I'm glad it wasn't him, butI'm kind of upset it wasn't him because I want him to be caught," that woman said.Several Philadelphia schools were on lockdown Wednesday afternoon, but students were dismissed to their parents amid police protection.It was later learned that the suspect who police said has ties to a Wilmington gang and did time in prison did not have active warrants for homicide."He is however wanted for parole and probation violations in Delaware, and the underlying offense of the violations do involve firearms," said Kinebrew.This isn't the first time Dejuan Robinson has made headlines.In September 2015, when he was 17 years old, he broke out of a juvenile correction van while being transported in Wilmington.Robinson allegedly kicked out the window and jumped from the moving vehicle while still in shackles.This


is the second Delaware police chase that ended up in a South Philadelphia crash in as many weeks.Last week, on New Year's Day, a Delaware man crashed and killed three people, two of whom were in the Mummer's parade. Residents in the area are not too happy about all of this."This is the same kind of situation, chasing somebody from Delaware, winding up over here in the city," said Nick Cirillo. "It has a big impact in the community right now."Wednesday's high-speed chase across state lines has stirred controversy and sparked an internal investigation by Wilmington police.In addition to the five Wilmington officers, a Pennsylvania State Trooper was also injured in Wednesday's chase. All were said to be non-life threatening injuries.------Kalpita Kadam, worked as a nurse at Bhabha Hospital in Bandra.

FIBA clears NBA players under contract to play overseas during lockout

The following is an important news release from FIBA:

FIBA has confirmed it will approve the transfer of players under contract with the NBA deciding to play for clubs of FIBA affiliated leagues during the on-going lockout.

During a lockout NBA players who continue to be under contract with an NBA team are free to play anywhere they want, whether for their national teams and/or for club teams.

If an NBA player requests to play for a club of a FIBA affiliated league, the NBA will not object but will state that the player will have to return to his NBA team as soon as the lockout ends. Consequently, FIBA will deliver a letter of clearance subject to thethe participation of most of their NBA stars.”

Any NBA player deciding to play during the lockout, does so at his own risk, notably if he sustains an injury.

FIBA has stated that it is up to the clubs to decide whether or not they shall sign a waiver clearing them of any responsibility towards the player in case of injury and other reasons preventing him from returning to the NBA and from fulfilling his obligations vis-à-vis his NBA team.

Update: National Basketball Players Association response to the news

“The NBPA and our players are gratified by today’s announcement by FIBA, although it comes as no surprise. We have consistently advised our members that in the event of a lockout they would have the right to be compensated for playing basketball irrespective

The Opioid Election: How Trump Won Regions of Despair

Trump offered a welcome solution to weakened communities: keep out heroin from the South by keeping out immigrants from those nations, and bring back the jobs which had disappeared over the last decades.

Strong correlation between pro-Trump states, economic decay, and addiction

Like many others, Professor Shannon Monnat was initially surprised as the election results came in on the night of November 7th, but as the map of America began to shade deeper red, she was hit by another surprise: it looked remarkably like her demographic work researching the regions in the U.S. with the highest rates of opioid addiction and suicide.

As Dr. Monnat, an assistant professor of rural sociology and demographics at Penn State University, and author of the study, DeathsTrump vowed to ‘build a wall,’ a drastic measure that was widely belittled. But people who live in forgotten places understood that, even if the promise was absurd, their suffering had finally registered.”

For these regions crippled by economic depression and then overrun with opioid addiction and the influx of Black Tar heroin, candidate Trump offered a two-fold solution: keep out heroin from the South by keeping out immigrants from those nations, and bring back the jobs which had disappeared over the last decades. And for an America which found itself divided by a now impoverished working class and a sense, whether true or not, of a growing coastal elite, Trump found his message amplified in places where economic decline, depression, and addiction had replaced the American Dream.

There may also be concerns regarding contaminating the working lumens of endoscopes which may result in infections.
Many surgical procedures may require multiple surgical instruments at the working site at the same time. As mentioned earlier, these surgical instruments are typically delivered through the working lumens of the endoscope. The limited number of working lumens in an endoscope limits the number of instruments that can be delivered to the surgical site at a time. Also, while it is often desirable to have larger instruments at the surgical site, the small size of the working lumens limit the size of the tool that can be passed through it. This

ROME (AP) — A 2,000-year-old building where Roman gladiators in Pompeii trained for combat has opened to the public eight years after its collapse following rainfall.

The Pompeii archaeological site said the public can tour the Schola Armaturarum on Thursdays. Experts will explain their painstaking restoration of frescoes that decorated the site where gladiators trained before combat in the ancient Roman city.

Its opening was hailed by Italy’s culture ministry as the “symbolic place of Pompeii’s rebirth,” following years of dismaying news that various ruins had crumbled amid modern-day neglect of the sprawling, once-flourishing city that was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D.

The money was contributed to a pool by the cooperative's members, who were moved by the animal's beauty, Mr Aroon said.

Ruam Boon will be taken to the Assawin Production House in Nong Khaem district in Bangkok to be trained for movies, he said, adding that its performance fee would be used to buy food.

Abattoir owner Somjit said he bought the buffalo at a cattle market in Buri Ram for 50,000 baht three months ago. It was being fed and fattened up and when it was fully healthy would have been consigned for slaughter. He expected to get 70,000 baht or more from its meat,


sent to fresh markets.

He said a foreigner had also contacted him, offering to buy the horns for 50,000 baht after it was killed.

The picture of the animal was posted on Facebook because its horns were similar to the logo used by Carabao, a famous songs-for-life rock band. Carabao means buffalo in the Philippine language.

The buffalo's original name is unknown, or if it even had one. The cooperative has named him "Ruam Boon", meaning joining hands to make merit, because actors and others in the movie industry contributed their money to buy the animal before it went to slaughter.build their temples can be used today by a banker to calculate the yield to maturity of a new, twoyear bond.

Former Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul, a U.S. senator from Kentucky, has given his support to Roy Moore in the Alabama senate race.

Paul's backing is the latest in a wave of GOP endorsements in recent days for Moore leading up to the Dec. 12 election against Democrat Doug Jones.

" Judge Roy Moore has spent a lifetime defending and standing up for the Constitution while fighting for the people of Alabama," Paul said in the announcement from the Moore campaign. "We need more people in Washington, D.C. that will stand on principle and defend the Constitution. I look forward to welcoming him to the Senate very soon."

As noted in an obituary on AnarchistNews.org, his legacy includes work as editor of Modern Slavery, a journal dedicated to abolishing all forms of enslavement; essays collected on The Anarchist Library that cover everything from English history to recent street protests in Brazil to the role of play in revolution; and his involvement in the New York City squatters’ movement of the 1980s, some of which is recounted in the zine Black Eye.

I met Simons, for the first and only time, in New York three years ago. He was here to give one of his many presentations on the revolution that had begun in Rojava (the region in the


north of Syria under autonomous Kurdish governance) in 2012, and which continues to this day. With his interest piqued by reports that, amid the carnage of the civil war, the Kurds in Rojava were reorganizing society along new lines influenced by anarchism, Simons traveled to Syria in 2015.

Dale Earnhardt was the most dominant driver NASCAR hadseen since Richard Petty. His seven NASCAR titles earnedhim the nickname "The Intimidator." See more pictures of NASCAR.

Nov. 5, 1978, was a pivotal day in Dale Earnhardt's stock car racing career. At the age of 27, Earnhardt had spent most of his weekends racing at short tracks for winner's purses of less than $1,000. But on this day, the strapping son of the legendary Ralph Earnhardt was seated in a NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National car for only the ninth time.

Through the generosity of several track promoters, Earnhardt had managed the occasional ride in NASCAR events. The one-shot deals had come in machinery that wasn't first rate, but the young man from Kannapolis, N.C., seemed to be able to


get the most out of the inferior equipment.

On this particular day at Atlanta International Raceway, Earnhardt found himself buckled in the best car he had ever driven, a Chevrolet fielded by Osterlund Racing. The 1978 campaign was team owner Rod Osterlund's first full season in NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National racing. His regular driver, Dave Marcis, had challenged Cale Yarborough for the title earlier in the year.

But toward the end of the season, Osterlund and Marcis were at odds. The wealthy sportsman from California made a public announcement that Marcis would be replaced in '79 by "an experienced driver." Obviously, that meant Earnhardt wouldn't get the assignment.

Earnhardt drove the Osterlund car for all it was worth in the 500-miler at Atlanta, finishing fourth after starting 10th.He didn't drive like a rookie. There were few, if any, frayed edges. Earnhardt made bold, crisp moves in traffic. Following the race, Osterlund commented that he was quite pleased with Earnhardt's efforts, but he was still looking for an accomplished veteran to take the controls for the 1979 season.

Over the winter months, Osterlund reconsidered and, against his convictions, hired Earnhardt to be the driver. Earnhardt went on to win the Rookie of the Year award in 1979, a season blessed with standout freshman drivers like Terry Labonte and Harry Gant. Earnhardt nearly won the Daytona 500 for Osterlund, losing due to a botched pit stop and questionable strategy. He still finished eighth.

Earnhardt rebounded swiftly to win the Southeastern 500 at Bristol in only his 16th career NASCAR


Winston Cup Grand National start. He went on to win the Rookie of the Year award, and despite missing four races due to an injury, he finished seventh in the final points standings.

In 1980, Earnhardt made history. He took the lead in the points standings shortly after the Daytona 500 and never relinquished his grip on first place. The young driver bagged his first superspeedway win at Atlanta in March, and scored four other wins during the season. Entering the season finale at Ontario Motor Speedway near Los Angeles, Earnhardt clung to a 29-point lead over hard-charging Cale Yarborough.

Early in the race, Earnhardt fell a lap off the pace when he cut a tire, forcing an unscheduled green-flag pit stop. A caution flag came out shortly after Earnhardtreturned to the track, trapping him a full lap behind the leaders. He was in danger of losing the championship in the final race of the year.

Undaunted, Earnhardt whipped past his rivals one by one. He swept under them in the low-banked corners and stormed by others on the open straights. He slithered past race-leader Darrell Waltrip, caught a timely caution flag and was back on the lead lap.

Earnhardt settled for a fifth-place finish as Yarborough came home third. The final margin in the NASCAR Winston Cup Grand National title race was 19 points -- at the time the second closest title finish in NASCAR history. No other driver had won the Rookie of the Year award and the championship in back-to-back seasons. The Osterlund Racing team was


in its third year of operation, and had captured the title with a sophomore driver and a rookie crew chief.

Earnhardt's meteoric rise to stardom was no flash in the pan. Within a year, he had hooked up with Richard Childress, who gave up the driver's seat to pursue his vision of becoming one of the top team owners in NASCAR. While the unit figuratively stubbed its toes in the beginning, by 1984 Earnhardt and Childress had become a formidable and cohesive unit. They were winning races regularly and always running near the front of the pack.

In 1986, Earnhardt won five races and his second championship. A year later, he thoroughly dominated the NASCAR Winston Cup season, winning 11 times and taking his third title by nearly 500 points.He went on to rack up championships in 1990, '91, '93, and '94, tying Richard Petty with seven titles. Always a hard charger, Earnhardt earned the nickname "The Intimidator" for his aggressive and sometimes bullying driving style.

Earnhardt's quest for a record eighth NASCAR Winston Cup title would never bear fruit. After enduring a bit of a slump in the late 1990s, Earnhardt appeared back at the top of his game by the turn of the century. He finished second in the 2000 NASCAR Winston Cup points standings and was eagerly awaiting the start of the 2001 campaign.

In the final laps of the 2001 Daytona 500, Earnhardt was running third behind Michael Waltrip and Dale Earnhardt, Jr., both of whom were seated in Chevrolets fielded by Dale Earnhardt, Inc.


While protecting the third spot, Earnhardt made contact with the nose of Sterling Marlin's Dodge, and lost control.

Earnhardt shot up the banking, was hit by Ken Schrader, and delivered a head-on shot into the concrete retaining barrier. While the crash didn't appear to be one of devastating consequences, the angle of the impact was such that it dealt a fatal blow to NASCAR's most popular icon.

The cause of Earnhardt's death sparked controversy, but NASCAR has since tightened safety precautions, requiring all competitors to wear the HANS device, a head and neck support collar designed to prevent sudden forward movement of a driver's head in the event of a frontal impact.LESBOS, Greece (Reuters) - Talibshah Hosini played some tough roles as an actor in Afghanistan before he fled. None was as hard as his real-life fight for survival in a refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos.

The 35-year-old from Faryab province in Afghanistan left a career in theater and film in his home country and now spends his days trying to keep his family safe in a makeshift shack made of pieces of wood and metal.

“In the 18 years since I became part of the cinema,


I have played many tough roles, but this role is the most difficult one,” he said.

Forced to flee after receiving threats for staging satires at his theater company that focused on the hardline Islamist Taliban movement, his journey with his wife and three daughters took them to Iran, then to Turkey and eventually Greece.

Hosini built a shelter in an olive grove next to the official Moria camp. The grove itself has become a tent city after Moria overflowed.

He and his wife Yasamin wake up before dawn and enter Moria, taking turns to wait in line for three hours to receive meals.

The food is not enough for the family of five, so they cook for themselves on a stove made from an empty can filled with charcoal and wood.

For three hours Saturday afternoon, beer lovers came to the Pour House in Fort Worth for a live tasting of the Final Four contenders in our first-ever DFW.com Craft Beer Bracket. They ordered flights with samples of each of the distinct local brews  Lakewood The Temptress, Peticolas Velvet Hammer, Revolver Blood & Honey and Community Public Ale.

And then they thought long and hard before picking their favorite.

Each person who sampled a flight was given a ticket to drop in one of four ballot boxes. Eavesdropping on the banter during the tasting, you could tell the beer IQ was high here. But there were also some folks who were wowed and surprised by the complex flavors among the Final Four.

But after a month of drinking our way


counting would have turned up two more votes, because we know you had your share of passionate supporters.

But the voters and judges have spoken.

Of the 201 votes cast at the Pour House, Temptress and Blood & Honey tied with 62. Velvet Hammer got 60, and Communitys Public Ale had 17. (As one of the judges noted later, Public Ale recently won a gold medal at the Great American Beer Festival in Denver, so its not lacking for accolades.)

Congratulations to Lakewood, the year-old Garland brewing company started by Belgium native Wim Bens, and Revolver, the Granbury brewery that has taken the North Texas craft beer scene by storm in only two years.

You are deserving champions, and great representatives of a DFW craft beer landscape that is bursting with creativityabout 8 years.

REVERE, Mass. (AP) — A storm system that wreaked havoc across the eastern half of the U.S. spawned a tornado just north of Boston on Monday, causing extensive damage in Revere, where roofs were ripped off buildings and dozens of large trees were uprooted.

Officials in Revere, a coastal city of about 53,000, said there no immediate reports of serious injuries, but several people suffered minor injuries, including a baby who was in a car and hurt by flying glass and an elderly woman who suffered cuts.

"Given the magnitude of the storm, it's really a miracle that no one sustained more serious injuries," said Revere Mayor Dan Rizzo.

Communities across the U.S. were cleaning up Monday after strong storms destroyed homes, knocked out


power for thousands of people and toppled power lines and trees.

The tornado was spawned by a powerful storm that moved through the Boston area shortly after 9 a.m. Deputy Fire Chief Mike Viviano said his department received dozens of calls reporting partial building and roof collapses, and downed trees and power lines.

Paul and Patty Carrabes said they were both at work when the wind tore the roof off their home.

"I probably would have died if I was in there," said Patty Carrabes said.

Bob Cronin, the city's sealer of weights and measures, said he was in City Hall when the tornado hit.

Cronin said City Hall was damaged, as were a number of businesses. One auto body shop had its roof ripped clean off, Cronin said.

"This isn't something you expectto happen when you wake up in the morning," he said.

The National Weather Service's office in Massachusetts said it was the first tornado in Suffolk County, which includes the city of Boston and the northern communities of Revere, Chelsea and Winthrop, since the agency began keeping records on them in 1950.

Rizzo said City Hall was evacuated due to damage and will likely be closed for a couple of days. He said he expected the city to open a shelter for any residents who are unable to stay in their homes.

In eastern Tennessee, officials said there were no reports of any deaths or injuries from Sunday's storms, though at least 10 homes were destroyed. Claiborne County emergency management spokeswoman Gina Breeding told The Associated Press it wasn't clear whether


the destruction was the result of a tornado, but noted there were strong winds, lightning and heavy thunderstorms.

In Kentucky, National Weather Service forecaster Tony Edwards said some areas got softball-sized hail Sunday.

Massive hail also was reported in Michigan, where winds toppled trees and ripped the roofs off buildings. And in Ohio, some roads had been blocked by flash flooding. In Pennsylvania, nighttime storms knocked out power to thousands.

Oroonoko, or The Royal Slave

Aphra Behn was the first woman writer in England to make a living by her pen, and her novel Oroonoko was the first work published in English to express sympathy for African slaves. Perhaps based partly on Behn's own experiences living in Surinam, the novel tells the tragic story of a noble slave, Oroonoko, and his love Imoinda. The work was an instant success and was adapted for the stage in 1695 (and more recently by the Royal Shakespeare Company


The Red Cross and the Saskatchewan Roughriders are hoping that by looking beyond bullying to conflict resolution and healthy relationships they can help end bullying for good.

Grey Cup winner and six-time CFL all-star Brendon LaBatte brought that message to St. Louis school Wednesday as he spoke to students from four area schools on Pink Shirt Day.

Pink Shirt Day is an initiative led by the Canadian Red Cross and was inspired by students in Nova Scotia who wore pink shirts to school in support of a classmate who was bullied for wearing pink.

The theme of the 2019 Pink Shirt Day was Be Someone’s Hero.

LaBatte serves as a Red Cross ambassador, speaking to students across the province about the importance of respect and conflict resolution.

“There will always be conflict,” hetherapies were performed under the guidelines of the Animal Use Committee of Tottori University and Tokyo Women\'s Medical University. The protocol was approved by the Committee on the Ethics of Animal Experiments of Tottori University (Approval Number: H27-001) and Tokyo Women\'s Medical University (Approval Number: AE16-143). Before treatment, informed consent was obtained from the guardians of the animals.

Subject recruitment at Tottori University and Tokyo Women\'s Medical University, were undertaken by staff veterinarians, who proposed SDT to animal guardians at outpatient clinics. Subjects were recruited to the study if the standard treatment (surgical resection, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy) was impossible or undesirable to the animal guardians. Accordingly, four dogs were enrolled in the study and five SDT sessions were implemented, two sessions to subject A, and one to each


HIFU, the hairs around the irradiated site were shaved to prevent bubble generation, which could cause burn injury. After identifying the exact location of the tumor using a conventional diagnostic probe, the HIFU transducer covered with the water bag was placed in the appropriate position, and ultrasound gel was applied between the body surface and the water bag. The number of HIFU irradiation sequences was dependent on the size of the targeting tumor and the passing rate of the ultrasound. To confirm the safety of SDT, the irradiated region was limited to low-risk irradiation, instead of whole tumor irradiation. In particular, areas with potential appearance of serious adverse events such as large vessels or the area around those and the bones where unexpected ultrasound reflections may occur, werebeen his preferred choice.

Slidell man accused of beating father

Slidell — A 29-year-old man was booked with second-degree battery and cruelty to the infirm after police say he beat his father Sunday evening.

Slidell police said Bradford Dearing beat his elderly father so badly that the man had to be taken to a Slidell hospital for treatment for severe facial injuries.

The victim was initially being treated in the intensive care unit, said Detective Daniel Seuzeneau, a police spokesman.

He said when police interviewed the victim hereadily admitted to using a 9 mm handgun to kill a raccoon, the report states.

Belton said the raccoon had been prowling around his home for a week and shot the animal twice with his gun and threw its body in a drainage canal. Belton told deputies that the animal had “threatened” his family, the report stated.

These dimensions are relevant, because the first month of life is the period in which the infant is most vulnerable and most susceptible to dying, from the point of view of health care organizations \[[@CR2], [@CR3]\].

Over the years, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) have coordinated global efforts to reduce these rates, which have declined dramatically throughout the world. However, the desired goals of the Millennium Development Goals were not met, because despite the reduction of approximately 45% in maternal mortality and over 50% in neonatal and infant mortality, these events occurred in heterogeneous ways, with smaller orguidance provided to families and communities) \[[@CR17]\].

This adaptation was necessary so that the data could be interpreted more adequately by the decision makers. For example, of the 645 municipalities in São Paulo, 506 had a population

In another study \[[@CR22]\], the WHO verified that almost all maternal deaths occurred in developing countries (99%). These countries have major public health problems. They struggle against poverty and suffer from limited access to health services, including antenatal care and childbirth. Optimizing child health by improving health monitoring, nutrition, vaccination schedules and living conditions, and implementing parental education programs to minimize unintentional injuries could reduce injuries in vulnerable children \[[@CR19]\].

Police on Saturday told Al Jazeera that Baloch's father, Mohammed Azeem, had filed a case against his son Waseem Azeem. The father also testified against another of his sons, who works in the army and reportedly encouraged his sibling to carry out the killing.

Waseem was in the family home in Multan when Baloch, whose real name was Fauzia Azeem, died.

Both sons went missing as news of the killing spread.

But late on Saturday, Waseem was found some 100 kilometres from Multan in Dera Ghazi Khan and arrested. Police presented him with his face covered during a press conference, during which he said he "killed for honour" and had


"no regrets".

Nabila Ghazzanfar, a Punjab Police spokeswoman, said that the initial post mortem showed that the 26-year-old's nose and mouth had been pinned shut before she died, blocking off her airways.

Baloch divided opinion in Pakistan, a largely conservative nation, as she appeared on television to speak about female empowerment, often dressed in non-traditional, revealing clothes.

She began her career by auditioning on Pakistan Idol and soon after launched a social media enterprise, posting videos that went viral.

On her final, July 4 post to her Facebook page, which has almost 800,000 fans, she wrote: "I am trying to change the typical orthodox mindset of people who don't wanna come out of their shells of false beliefs and old practices."

"It is a mindset we have to change," she said.

After the release of a recent music video in which Baloch starred, the celebrity's ex-husband Aashiq Hussain revealed intimate details of their relationship.

The story of her personal life was scrutinised in the media. She was pitted against clerics and her former husband, and cried publicly about the torture and abuse she suffered during the short marriage.

Last month, she posted a series of selfies with a leading cleric, Mufti Abdul Qavi - a member of the "moon-sighting" committee - again causing a furore. During their meeting, the cleric reportedly proposed. A video shows Baloch sitting on the cleric's lap, while photos show her wearing his traditional wool cap.

'She


was more than Kim Kardashian'

Fasi Zaka, a radio show host, told Al Jazeera: "She was the most self-exposed person, and what was different about her is that she was from a poor background. She did all this on her own. She is much more than Kim Kardashian, she went against the norms of society - and went on do what she wanted, on her own terms."

Mufti Naeem, a conservative, vocal cleric, condemned the killing.

"Her personal life was her business, and killing someone is haram [not permissible in Islam]," he told Al Jazeera. "The brother must be punished - we cannot have any more murders in the name of honour."

1987, the age-adjusted ischemic heart disease mortality rates in the Arab population were slightly lower than those in the Jewish population. Since 1990, they have been slightly higher. Cerebrovascular disease mortality rates have consistently been higher in the Arab population and the gap has been increasing. Similarly, the mortality rates for diabetes mellitus were slightly higher in the Arab population during the 1970 and 1980s and the gap has increased markedly. On the other hand, age-adjusted mortality rates from colorectal cancer are about three times as high and breast cancer mortality rates about twice as high in the Jewish population. The differences for incidence rates are even greater.

Once again, Jose Mourinho (pictured) will lift the Premier League trophy after his Chelsea side wrapped up the title with three games to spare.

The ‘Special One’ has the special touch when it comes to winning league titles. He did it in his breakout year as a manager with FC Porto in 2003. He won the Primeira Liga again with Porto, as well as the UEFA Champions League, the next year.

He moved to Chelsea at the start of the 04/05 season and his reign bore immediate glory as he won the Premier League, a feat he repeated the following year.

Four league titles in four years isn’t too shabby a record.

In between that tenure at Chelsea and his current one, there was
