A taxonomy of shared care for chronic disease.
Shared care is promoted as a way of integrating primary and secondary services and achieving one of the targets set for the NHS in the 1990s. We aimed to compose a taxonomy of shared care schemes for chronic disease in order to inform the development of develop shared care. A two-phase postal questionnaire survey of Scotland and North West Thames Region, England. In the first phase we identified the number of shared care schemes for chronic disease, which were followed up in the second phase. Shared care schemes were classified into six groups, or models, according to their method of data transfer. These are: (I) community clinics, where the specialist undertakes a clinic in general practice; (II) basic, where communication comprisesUncle Roy All Around You

Uncle Roy All Around You (URAY) is a pervasive game made by Blast Theory. URAY was built in the Equator project on the EQUIP architecture. "The defining characteristic of this game is the way it mixes preprogrammed game content with live performance that takes place on the city streets." Players "on the street" set out on a journey to find a fictional character called Uncle Roy. Simultaneously players online journeyed through a parallel 3D world, all the while guiding or misleading street players. The game was staged in May/June 2003 in central London. Players on the street were given a  mobile device to use to navigate through the city and keep contact with game operators and online players. In URAY, self-reported positioning was


China Business News journalist Liang Xiangyi caught rolling her eyes in disgust at another reporter during the coverage of the National People's Congress in China.

Psst! We are giving away movie passes here!

Is this the eye roll of the century?

A reporter in China was caught on camera rolling her eyes in disgust at another reporter who was asking questions at the country's biggest political event of the year.

Footage of China Business News journalist Liang Xiangyi looking rather exasperated by a question lobbed by fellow reporter Zhang Huijun from American Multimedia Television USA was beamed live on national television for a country of 1.3 billion people to see.

This was what happened:

- Zhang was posing a long and convoluted question to a government official during a staged doorstop at the GreatHall of People, where the National People's Congress was being held.

- Liang takes a deep breath and touches her hair, while trying to conceal her disgust.

- She scoffs at Zhang, turns around and eyes her from head to toe.

- She then turns away and rolls her eyes with such revulsion that it was impossible to miss the epic TV moment captured by China's national news broadcaster CCTV on Tuesday.

Of course, this unscripted eye roll has taken a life of its own on social media in China.

GIFs, memes and copycat videos quickly proliferated. In one video, three men recreated the incident with a deadpan expression. Supporters also started flooding Liang's Weibo account with jokes and comments.

On messaging app WeChat, people were separating the two reporters into two parties,


Romo's first interception 48 yards to the Dallas 2, setting up Kaepernick's second scoring toss to Davis.

"Our front seven did a good job getting pressure on the quarterback, and the secondary played well," Reid said.

Romo looked like a quarterback who was limited in the offseason and training camp, not a good start for a team trying to avoid tying a franchise record with a fifth straight year of missing the playoffs.

He didn't see Reid on a throw to Dez Bryant, then didn't see wide-open receiver Dwayne Harris for what would have been an easy touchdown. Instead he forced a pass to Jason Witten that was intercepted by Patrick Willis in the end zone.

The picks kept coming even after starting San Francisco cornerbacks Tramaine Brock (toe) and Culliver (concussion)had been knocked out of the game. Backup Perrish Cox had his second career interception when Romo threw deep to Bryant in double coverage.

"I felt comfortable," said Romo, who threw for 281 yards and a late touchdown. "Just couple poor decisions that I made tonight."

It didn't take Kaepernick long to put that rough preseason behind him, leading the 49ers 80 yards in just three plays on their first possession. He stepped out of an ankle tackle by Jeremy Mincey and threw 29 yards on the run to Davis, who juggled the ball as the crossed the goal line before holding on for a 14-3 lead.

The 49ers also had an efficient drive in their 2-minute offense to finish the first half, with Kaepernick throwing for 39 yards leading to


for the game.

But he didn't get the ball on second-and-1 from the San Francisco 2 with a chance to tie the score early. Instead, Romo was sacked and Dallas settled for a field goal.

Bryant stayed down for several moments after Reid's interception return and later was treated for dehydration. He had four catches for 55 yards. ...

They are part of an intense publicity campaign by the authorities under President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to remind people of the importance of the defeat of the bid to oust the government, ahead of commemorations of the first anniversary on Saturday.

One shows a giant painting of a soldier with his hands over his head in dismay as he is angrily confronted by a crowd of people.

But some have seen the posters as discrediting the army - the second largest in NATO and for years a pillar of the modern Turkish state.

While half of Turkey's pre-coup contingent of generals were arrested


or dismissed in the purge that followed the coup bid, only a tiny proportion of the rank and file were implicated.

The deputy leader of the secular opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) slammed the billboards, saying they were encouraging "enmity against the army" and insulting the Turkish armed forces.

"The soldiers seen in the posters are not Turkish. They used pictures of soldiers found from foreign websites," Bulent Tezcan claimed, blasting the images as an "embarrassment".

The right-wing Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), an ally of the government, also opposed the billboards. "They don't reflect the spirit of July 15," the MHP's Erkan Akcay said.

The controversy went viral on social media as well, with hashtags "TSK is our honour, TSK is our pride" widely circulated on Twitter. TSK is the Turkish abbreviationtheir own peace terms (Curt. 6.1.17-19).

For the second compilation, we have David Bowie using songs from his debut album up to and including Ziggy Stardust. Bowie had been on vinyl as far back as 1964 but none of these early singles made the cut. To my ears, they are not very good and pretty derivative of the period in which they were recorded. However, by the time his first album came out in 1967, there were a couple of songs that didn’t sound out of place. Most of these were stereo but some mono mixes were used all thanks to the deluxe edition of his debut album which was a goldmine of interesting cuts and BBC sessions. A couple of these early songs are presented by BBC recordings as they hadBYU forward Nate Austin, center, claps after a BYU point during the first half of the NCAA basketball game between the BYU Cougars and the Northern Arizona Lumberjacks at Marriott Arena, Thursday, Dec. 27, 2012.

More domestic money is needed to finance economic activity at the higher price level. This German experience provides the classic example.

In 1919 the Allies imposed unpayably high reparations on Germany – largely to pay the Inter-Ally arms debts that the U.S. Government insisted on collecting from Britain and France for supplies and weapons sold before the United States entered the war. Such debts traditionally were forgiven among allies upon achieving victory. But the U.S. Government refused to do this, so its wartime customers turned to Germany to pay.

Its liability was unlimited under the Treaty of Versailles. For starters, Germany was stripped of its coal reserves, steel mills and other valuable assets. This left little alternative but

The euro was crippled at the outset, financially and fiscally

The European Union was created largely as a project to end war, but the way the Eurozone has been shaped has opened an unanticipated form of warfare and tribute-seeking: a conquest waged by bankers and their major rentier clients to create a financial oligarchy ruling via “technocrats” installed much as proconsuls used to serve in the Roman Empire. Acting on the prime directive that all debts must be paid, willy-nilly, this administrative class is willing to plunge economies into austerity and depression to create an opportunity to break the power of labor unions and roll back social spending under force majeure conditions. Reversing the past two centuriesis financial. Bank lobbyists crippled the euro at its birth. Unlike Britain and the United States, the Eurozone lacks a central bank to do what central banks are supposed to do: create money to finance government budget deficits. The money and credit needed to fuel the economy are to be created by commercial banks, at interest. There simply is no continental European idea of a central bank lending directly to government.

This is why George Soros recently described the euro itself as a bubble – a positive feedback of belief that it would work has been followed by a sudden realization of its structural shortcoming. “The main source of trouble,” he explained, “is that the member states of the euro have surrendered to the European Central Bank their rights


result of “growth” of the financial system increasing asset prices by debt leveraging. It is not really new in the world. Isaiah decried creditors and landlords who placed house to house and plot to plot until there was no room left for people in the land.

Tying the hands of government by depriving it of a central bank to create money

The Progressive Era prior to World War I, and even economic democracy after World War II, envisioned a mixed public/private economy in which governments would provide basic infrastructure on a subsidized basis, and regulate markets to steer savings and new money or credit creation along productive lines. But Article 123 of the Lisbon Treaty assigns this role to commercial banks – including that of financing government budget deficits, bythan central banks, and that their credit creation on their own keyboards is less inflationary than when governments do this for social spending or infrastructure investment. Yet commercial banks have fueled the fastest and largest asset-price inflation in history! Loosening the terms of mortgage credit and even obtaining public guarantees for irresponsible lending – and in the United States, lobbying to decriminalize financial fraud, or at least to deregulate it and to insist on the appointment of law officials who refuse to prosecute – has obliged homebuyers to pay more for debt-leveraged housing, and investors to pay more for assets ranging from office buildings to stocks and bonds, thereby raising the price of buying a retirement income or, for pension funds, of paying a pension.

from played the political role it did in past centuries, from the Schoolmen of the 13th century and Martin Luther ‘s denunciation of usury down to Christian socialism, Papal encyclicals, and of course Liberation Theology. Adam Smith was a professor of Moral Philosophy, and through much of the 19th century universities continued to teach economic thought as a branch of moral philosophy. The common key to this long tradition was to link ethical values to economics by value and price theory: the idea that people would earn income by providing a productive service to society, not by simply taking or by usury, rent-extraction or other unjust income.

The neoliberal challenge

By rejecting this value and price theory rentier advocates distort the historical focus of religion. Denying that any income isnot to employ labor and expand output, but to transfer as much of the existing flow of revenue as possible into its own hands, by capitalizing it into interest payments.

Much as the Roman democracy arranged voting by “centuries” ranked by landed wealth, so in the United States votes are bought simply by dollars, mainly from the financial sector. The result must be economic polarization toward a rentier oligarchy. Much as Rome’s creditor class reduced the Empire to a Dark Age of subsistence and barter, today’s financial dynamics are globalizing the polarization between creditors and debtors, imposing austerity in the name of free markets. So as in Rome, the end stage of neoliberalism threatens to become debt peonage.

Goalscorer gets yellow card for celebrations

The two unbeaten sides in the Premier League continued their runs as neither could force a winner in an entertaining encounter at Villa Park.

Newcastle had gone into the game looking to preserve their record of not conceding a goal on their travels this season however Alex McLeish's men were ahead in just 13 minutes.

Barry Bannan worked the space to pick out Agbonlahor, his initial volley was blocked by Fabricio Coloccini, however he made no mistake with the second attempt with a low drive from close range.

Earlier Yohan Cabaye should have done better for the Magpies when he was teed up by Leon Best, however the Frenchman's shot flew wide.

Bent missed a glorious chance to double Villa's lead after 26 minutes when Stiliyan Petrovsurged towards the byline and pulled the ball back, however the former Sunderland striker sidefooted the ball wide from eight yards out.

United eventually hit back through Best for his third of the season when, like Agbonlahor, he had two bites of the cherry and managed to finish off a Cheick Tiote cross after Given had first saved his header but could not keep out the striker's second attempt.

Exuberant

Following that goal however, Best received a yellow card for his exuberant goal celebrations.

Petrov was also booked for dissent, banging his fist into the turf, after bringing down Best.

Given was called into action several times throughout the match and in particular had to push a cross from on-loan winger Gabriel Obertan over the bar.

Scottish international Bannan, who was starting his first


league game of the campaign, looked lively throughout the game and could have added his name to the scoresheet but saw his dipping volley from 25 yards just sail off target.

Villa pushed on from their opener and Steven Taylor blocked a Petrov effort after good work from Fabian Delph.

Stephen Warnock needed treatment for McLeish's men during the tie after stopping Obertan in mid-flow, however the defender was able to resume.

Great delivery

On-loan Manchester United winger Obertan was causing all kinds of problems for the Villa defence and picked out Demba Ba with a great delivery only for his shot to get deflected.

Villa were the ones who had to do most of the defencing as the match continued with Newcastle pressing well.

Obertan saw a shot go wide of the postafter Coloccini flicked on a Cabaye corner.

N'Zogbia could have scored when he was played in behind the Magpies back four by the lively Agbonlahor, however he made a hash of the final ball.

Both bosses made tactical changes during the match which saw Villa's Marc Albrighton and Stephen Ireland come on in place of Bannan and Petrov, who handed the captain's armband to Richard Dunne.

Either side had the chance to take the three points as Villa's Bent saw his lob in the last 15 minutes denied by Ryan Taylor who cleared the cheeky effort despite it beating United goalkeeper Tim Krul.

Sylvain Marveaux could have then nicked the maximum points for the visitors but the Frenchman saw his volley travel over Given's bar.

Despite the tense finale, both sides came away

And what does this show you, my beloved? It shows you that even a Roman emperor – who thought he was God on Earth – was still afraid of the people. Because if the people had woken up in sufficient numbers, he knew he would have lost his power. This was true 2,000 years ago; it is equally true today.

Quite an indictment coming from the self described progressive Catholic who still thinks government can never be big enough and the Church should tell the faithful more about the teachings of the agnostic Saul Alinsky than that of 2,000 year old teachings of the Catholic Church. Dionne has made it his business to comment on all matter of politics and religion for quite some time. His partner in left wing chicanery is New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd who never hesitates to go for the jugular.

The year was 1300. Though parts of Spain remained under Islamic control, a liberated area, near the Guadalupe River would reveal an amazing find. A cow herder named Gil Cordero would be told by the Blessed Mother to dig, and there he would find holy treasure. Though laughed at by his fellow villagers, his faithful dig yielded a secret burial vault that would house many relics including that of a lifelike carving of the Blessed Mother. It was said to be carved by St Luke and transported to Spain in the sixth century by Bishop Leander, a relative of Pope Gregory the Great.

The vault had been placed there asIslamic armies were making their way to Spain. The lifelike carving, which still exists today, was said to have been processed through the streets of Rome around the year 590 AD, at the direction of Pope Gregory the Great. He had been given the famous carving while he was Papal Legate in Constantinople.

The famous pontiff had ordered this procession during a terrible plague and famine that had engulfed the city, some one hundred and fifty years after the Roman Empire had collapsed. As the procession ended, the assembled crowd saw the Archangel St Michael sheathing his sword, signifying that the famine and plague were over. (One can still see the statue of the Archangel St Michael atop the Castel Sant Angelo which commemorates this momentous event.) The carved


statue of the Blessed Mother was then sent to Spain where it remains today, seemingly unscathed after spending years underground during the Muslim conquest.

As a result of Arabization of the country, the rise of Islamism and the civil unrest following the economic downturn caused by the 1980s oil glut, brothels were banned in 1982. This forced many of the prostitutes to work on the streets. There are however two brothels that continue to operate under the former French occupation rules ofcommercial sex work, it is vague if such work is performed by an independent individual who operates on his or her own accord without the use of pimps or a brothel.

Nigeria has become a major exporter of women for prostitution. Deputy president of Senate Ike Ekweremadu has proposed a bill to legalise prostitution.

São Tomé and Príncipe

Prostitution in São Tomé and Príncipe is illegal. UNAIDS report there are 89 prostitutes in the capital, São Tomé. When the islands were settled on by the Portuguese in 1493 under Álvaro Caminha, prostitutes were amongst the degredados sent to the colony.

Senegal

Prostitution in Senegal is legal and regulated. Prostitutes must be at least 21 years of age, register with the police, carry a valid sanitary card, and test negative for sexually transmitted infections.


When a motor vehicle is exposed to a strong frontal impact, the front end portions of the side rails extending in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle are indeed deformed. In order to dissipate a large portion of the energy of the impact, it is preferable that this deformation occurs in the form of a longitudinal compression, or bunching, of the side rails, in which successive accordion folds form in planes perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the side rails.
However, during the impact, a side rail commonly folds moving away from its longitudinal axis, a fold forming a vertical rotation axis between two portions of the side rail. In this case, the deformation absorbs a much smaller quantity of energy from the impact.

The Duke of Sussex was presented with a teddy bear for newborn Archie during a visit to a children's hospital.

Prince Harry met youngsters at Oxford Children's Hospital and was presented with the gift by former patient Daisy Wingrove, 13.

He chatted about Archie during the visit, confessing the baby had kept him up the previous night and he "can't imagine life without" him.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son was born on 6 May

As the prince was presented with the teddy bear from Daisy, he let out a big sigh and the


crowd of well-wishers made the same sound.

He then met children receiving treatment for leukaemia and brain tumours on Kamran's Ward.

He spoke to mother-of-two Amy Scullard, from Aylesbury, whose three-year-old son Emmett is in remission after being diagnosed with testicular cancer.

Ms Scullard said: "Harry asked me if my 10-week-old daughter Ida was over the stormy period as babies are supposed to be grumpy for the first 10 weeks - and she is.

"He said he's getting used to the baby and how Archie has fitted into family life.

"He said he just feels part of the family and he can't imagine life without his son."

While in the city, Prince Harry visited OXSRAD Disability Sports and Leisure Centre, where he unveiled a plaque. It was opened by his late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales in 1989.

He also reopened Barton Neighbourhood Centre following its £1m refurbishment.

Meghan celebrated her first US Mother's Day as a parent by posting a picture of his feetThis invention relates generally to electronic gaming machines and more particularly to a method and apparatus for integrating a primary and secondary game within a computer network.
Casinos typically include electronic gaming machines (EGMs) such as slot machines and video poker machines. Slot machines, for example, usually include three reels that each have a plurality of symbols printed thereon. After the player applies a wager to the machine, he or she starts play by triggering a switch that starts the reels spinning. Each reel stops at a random position and thereby presents three symbols—one from each reel. Some combinations of symbols do not pay any jackpot. Others pay varying amounts according to predetermined combinations that appear in a pay table displayed on the machine and stored in the gaming


machine's programmable read-on memory (PROM).
Competition for players among electronic gaming machines is tight and the industry is developing different methods for attracting and keeping players at their machines. One method for attracting players is to create linked progressive jackpot systems in which multiple gaming machines have been linked together into groups of machines that share the same bonus pool. A simple example of such a system is progressive video poker in which players play the primary poker game on one of a plurality of gaming machines grouped together on the casino floor. A coin-in counter, linked to all machines sharing the progressive pool, counts the total amount of money played in the group of machines and advances the progressive bonus pool accordingly. For instance, the casino can chooseterminal having the D2D communication function may connect the terminal to another terminal at a close location, which has the D2D communication function, through the D2D communication technology.
However, when a plurality of other terminals exist, the user has difficulty in intuitively recognizing other terminals corresponding to a list of the plurality of terminals, by checking only the list of the plurality of terminals. In addition, the user of the terminal has difficulty in selecting a communication mode for establishing a communication connection with another terminal, which has a different communication method (connectivity) from the terminal.


A memorial to 14 Jewish chaplains who died during active military service was dedicated Monday at Arlington National Cemetery, joining memorials to Protestant and Roman Catholic chaplains that had been in place for decades.

Monday's dedication service at the cemetery corrects an oversight that had more or less gone unnoticed until a few years ago, according to those who sponsored the memorial.

"We have long awaited this day where we can recognize the crucial work and bravery of Jewish chaplains who have died in service to our country," said Jerry Silverman, president of The Jewish Federations of North America, one of the agencies that took the lead in organizing and sponsoring the privately funded memorial.

Before Monday's dedication, three plaques stood on the cemetery's "Chaplain Hill." The first was dedicated in1926 to all chaplains who died in World War I. A second memorial was built in 1981 to honor 134 Protestant chaplains who died in World Wars I and II. And a third was built in 1989 to memorialize 83 Catholic chaplains who died in World War II, Korea and Vietnam.

The Jewish memorial lists the names of 14 Jewish chaplains who died while on active duty between 1943 and 1974.

Among those who attended Monday's dedication was Alex Fried, 41, of Glen Rock., New Jersey, grandson of Alexander D. Goode, an Army lieutenant. Goode was one of four chaplains who died aboard the transport ship Dorchester, which was sunk by a German torpedo off the coast of Greenland.

Goode was one of the famed "Four Chaplains" aboard the Dorchester, all


of whom gave up their own life jackets to other soldiers on the ship. The last anyone saw of the four, they were standing on the ship's deck, arms locked and praying together.

Fried has been promoting the legacy of the Four Chaplains as an example of interfaith cooperation and goodwill. Monday's dedication marked the first time he was able to meet the families of the other Jewish chaplains who died in service of their country.

"You share that sense of pride, but also of loss," Fried said. "There's always that sense of, `What would our lives have been like if they were in them?'"

The oversight of the Jewish chaplains was discovered by an amateur historian who was doing research on the Four Chaplains. Kenneth Kraetzer of White Plains, NewYork, visited Chaplains Hill in 2007 and found the names of the other three chaplains _ two Protestants and a Catholic _ but nothing that honored Goode or any other Jewish chaplain. He reached out to various organizations in the Jewish community that launched an effort to build a new memorial.

The memorial moved forward with approval from the US Fine Arts Commission and a joint Congressional resolution, which passed unanimously in May.

William Daroff, vice president for public policy at the Jewish Federations of North America, said the delays in establishing the memorial were not the result of any real opposition to the concept. Instead, Congress and other commissions have generally become more wary in recent years of approving new memorials in general, for fear of over-memorializing.

Dunedin police have now confirmed the man caught playing an instrument while driving was blowing on his bagpipes.

Police earlier told the Otago Daily Times the driver was caught this morning playing what looked to be a clarinet or wind pipes, but this afternoon confirmed he was playing the chanter part of his bagpipes.

Dunedin road policing acting sergeant Bryce Johnson said the man was pulled over on Crawford St during a regular road checkpoint.

"The driver didn’t have their hands on the wheel at the time, and he was clearly playing the instrument while driving the car."

The act was "foolish to say the least", he said.

"We are also concerned with the amount of drivers using mobile phones while driving. These too are major distractions for people.

Karma Cola

Karma Cola is a non-fiction book about India written by Gita Mehta originally published in 1979 by Simon & Schuster.

Subject matter

The story begins in the late '60s, when hundreds of thousands of Westerners descended upon India, disciples of a cultural revolution that proclaimed that the magic and mystery missing from their lives was to be found in the East. An Indian writer who has also lived in England and the United States, Gita Mehta was ideally placed to observe the spectacle of European and American "pilgrims" interacting with their hosts. When she finally recorded her razor sharp observations in Karma Cola, the book became an instant classic for describing, in merciless detail, what happens when the traditions of an ancient and long-lived society are turned intoReason.tv was on hand for the Rally to Restore Sanity And/Or Fear hosted by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert at the National Mall in Washington on Saturday, October 30.

From a collection of those runes, a fiery vortex formed in the floor. It was like a hole in the fabric of reality, a crack in the barrier that separated her mundane world from that of magic.

“Yes! Come to me, my demon lover! Come to me, Sylenos!” Violet exclaimed, raising her arms and bathing in the swirling light.

For a moment, the entire basement felt like the worst part of a thunderstorm. A potent blend of wind and heat filled the room, blowing through her loose-fitting robe and brushing over her naked skin. It was as though the mystical forces she sought were caressing her body, teasing her with a bit of mystical foreplay.


extent, it was. One of the least known truths about demons had little to do with what they looked like and everything to do with what they embodied. It was for that very reason that Violet’s basic lust evolved into a mature love.

The catalyst for that journey had been crude. At a young age, she discovered something about herself that would’ve been a minor quirk had she not grown up in such a devout community. She was very horny. Whether by fate or a quirk of biology, she was a very sexual woman with very powerful desires.

That put her in directly conflict with everyone in her community, including her parents. It only got worse when they caught her masturbating multiple times and flirting with boys. They tried lecturinghe cast a spell that radically changed her body into a figure that perfectly radiated beauty and sex appeal. It was the first time she’d felt genuinely sexy. After she gave herself to him, she reverted back briefly. However, he told her she could grow into that body, provided she adhered to their deal.

The details were many, but the results were everything she’d hoped for and then some. In just a few years, she became beautiful, attracting men of all kinds and seducing them with ease. Almost overnight, she could have any man she wanted and she wanted a lot. The acts of decadence she indulged in, thanks to her newfound looks, were too many to list.

However, she never strayed from the deal and Sylenos rewarded her accordingly.


expression tensed with devious joy, and his bulging muscles throbbed as he released his demonic load into her pussy.

Demonic semen was not like that of an ordinary man. For one, there was a lot more of it, so much so that much of it spilled out of her depths. It was also extra potent, but not in the sense of traditional fertility. Old witchcraft texts once said that a demon’s cum was the literal manifestation of sexual pleasure. When released inside a woman’s body, it was like diving into an ocean of liquid ecstasy. It took an act that was already sinful in the eyes of many and turned it into something truly intoxicating.

Between that pleasure and the hot, demonic fluid now filling her pussy, Violet was utterlyup in her arms, bouncing her along his cock until she climaxed again. Shortly after that, he climaxed too, filling her pussy with more demon cum.

After that, he gave her lower body some needed rest and laid her on the floor again so that she was on her hands and knees. Then, he grabbed the sides of her face and shoved his cock into her mouth, face-fucking her with his oversized flesh. It tested and strained her jaw-muscles, but she could take it. The ecstasy was worth the strain. Something about that made her love for a demon so fitting.

He still didn’t go easy on her. He kept humping her face until he climaxed again, shooting a thick load of cum right down her gullet. It was so


A sharp sting followed as he pierced her flesh, straining her lower body once more. The discomfort didn’t bother her for a second. The pleasure that followed did plenty to wash over the pain, keeping her in a steady state of bliss.

More orgasms followed. Each time she climaxed, the runes in the carpet flashed brighter. The pleasure that coursed through her burned hotter. With each feeling, she recounted the price that she’d paid all those years ago.

When Sylenos first described it, he made it sound steep. By giving her beauty, sex, and pleasure, he also gave her an inescapable caveat. She could live her life as an attractive, sexual woman. She could attract all the willing lovers she wanted. However, she would only ever attract men who wouldpass on information to younger siblings or friends. One young woman had kept her messages so that she could forward them to friends if they had any problems in the future. Another young woman in the control group explained how a friend of hers, who was in the intervention group, had shared some of the messages she had received. This control participant was particularly enthusiastic about the messages and reported that she would not have been able to tell her partner about her test result had it not been for the support and tips provided through the texts. Sharing was not always intentional. One young woman said that her mother had seen the texts, and although her mother was initially angry on learning that her daughter had had

The Misleading, Meandering Musings of Lew Wolff

A's Managing Partner Lew Wolff's comments late last month were mainly more of the same -- mainly that the team is not viable long term staying in Oakland and needs to move into a new ballpark in San Jose.

Here is a report from Bay City News from March 21. Two passages stick out.

First:

We are assigned 2.5 million people, the other (the Giants) is assigned 4.2 million people," Wolff said. We have two counties assigned to us, there are six counties assigned to the other team.
This is a familiar line from the A's brass and a highly misleading one.

The only thing the A's are limited to, in terms of operation of the franchise, per the MLB Constitution, is building astadium in any territory owned by the Giants. The A's are free to erect huge billboards across from AT&T Ballpark and open a merchandise shop in downtown San Jose.

If the A's and Giants were "assigned" territories for marketing purposes, how could the Giants parade the World Series trophy in Hayward, as they did this offseason, and open a merchandise shop in Walnut Creek, as they did in 2011.

All eight assigned counties, and beyond, are available to each team to market to. The A's simply cannot, at present, build a stadium in a county other than Alameda or Contra Costa.

Here is the second remarkable piece of the March report:Wolff said the A's have turned a profit in Oakland each of his nine years as an owner by sticking to


Who would have guessed that the air-traffic controllers and meat inspectors would be the first ones lucky enough to avoid the across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration?

So it went on Friday, when Congress passed legislation to give the Federal Aviation Administration special flexibility in implementing its sequester cuts. The bill exempted air-traffic controllers from furloughs, which had caused flight delays at major airport hubs throughout the Northeast for the past five days. Meat inspectors also received a carve-out in late March following a powerful lobbying push and under the guise of ensuring food safety.

Now, with a few sequester tweaks on the books, other special-interest groups, unions, and lobbyists are planning to rev up their efforts to undo the cuts bit by bit or, in this case, by aFAA to push Congress to change its language on the agency’s sequester cuts. The furloughs of air-traffic controllers began April 21. Each ensuing day, the agency released a press release and tweeted about the number of flights delayed due to sequestration and the resulting reduced staffing at airports.

On Wednesday alone, 863 flights were delayed at major hubs in New York, Washington, Cleveland, Dallas, and Jacksonville, Fla. On average, New Yorkers’ flights were delayed by one hour, while delays at the Los Angeles airport spanned into two hours, says Mark Duell, vice president of operations at FlightAware.com, an industry tracking group. The airlines also threatened to undo their rule to not keep passengers waiting on the tarmac for more than three hours.

Forget that an additional 2,132 flights were delayed


on Wednesday, due to weather or other typical airline mishaps. This week, for instance, New York suffered from high winds, and Florida experienced thunderstorms, Duell says.

When the flights were delayed, the message from the airlines was clear: This is all the fault of the sequester. Pilots and flight attendants in their announcements attributed problems to the government cuts, says airline industry analysts. This riled up consumers and made them aware of the sequester cuts in a way they may not have experienced them before. (In mid-March, a majority of Americans had yet to see evidence of the sequester in their lives, says Gallup pollsters).

Then came the lobbying muscle to fight the FAA cuts. That’s the thing about the airline industry—it has lots of manpower. The airline pilots haveTrump gets a taste of his own medicine after tweeting about 'filthy' Red Hen restaurant

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders created quite a stir when she tweeted about how the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, VA, asked her family to leave this past weekend. The controversy resurfaced when President Trump chimed in on Monday — and boy, things escalated quickly.

Sander’s initial tweet generated both support and backlash on social media, after the press secretary claimed that she and her family were asked to leave the restaurant because she worked for the president.

But on Monday, it was the president’s turn to face the music, when he chimed in on the restaurant controversy. Instead of fussing over fairness, his usual talking point, Trump chose to focus on the Red


When Daddy's Home 2 arrived in theaters last weekend, Hollywood was paying very close attention. Not only did the film represent Mel Gibson's first major at-bat since his career went up in flames back in the mid-aughts, but it also happened to be...a family comedy. If the public were going to vote on Gibson's future with its box office dollars, surely there would be no better test than this.

Daddy's Home 2 opened to $30M at the box office.

Now comes the news that Gibson's signed on for another new role, this time in Joe Carnahan's Boss Level. According to Deadline, the film will revolve around a retired special forces veteran (Frank Grillo) who finds himself "trapped in a never-ending loop resulting in his death.

The Mint Concept introduces the new typology of the premium city car as an accessory for the modern, urban lifestyle

Reductive, decluttered interior design features innovative digital UX

Represents a global design effort among Genesis design studios in Europe, Asia, and North America

NEW YORK, N.Y., April 16, 2019 —Today, Genesis revealed the Mint Concept at Hudson Yards, ahead of the opening of the 2019 New York International Auto Show. The Mint Concept introduces the all-electric, luxury car for the city, a new vehicle typology, featuring organic design and an innovative interior user experience.

“As a brand, Genesis embraces progressive design values, and the Mint Concept reinforces this commitment from a previously undiscovered perspective,” said Manfred Fitzgerald, Executive Vice President and Global Head of the Genesis Brand. “Mint belongs in the city,holistic collaboration among Genesis design studios located around the world, led by Genesis Global Advanced Design in Germany, Genesis Design Team in the U.S., and the Namyang Design Center in South Korea.

Styled for the City

Inside and out, the Mint Concept posits an expanded definition of Genesis brand design cues adapted for a two-door, two-passenger city car with a reduced footprint. Finished in Hunter Green matte paint, the Mint Concept beautifully stretches a threebox design to the corners with extremely short front and rear overhangs.

“The Mint Concept is a new urban icon that marries classic proportions with forwardlooking, minimalist design,” Donckerwolke said. “The Mint Concept instantly finds purpose and meaning in the city, just as so many people who call the world’s most densely populated metropolises home.”

The Genesis design


the Mint Concept takes influence from the Korean tradition of embracing the empty space, as well as modern European furniture design,” Donckerwolke said.

The G-Matrix pattern features prominently as the defining element of the interior, both in the thin, gunmetal balustrade that runs across the width of the passenger compartment and in the repeating pattern for the floor and cargo area. The center console, which houses a central control knob, can be folded, turning the floating front bench into a settee. Ingress and egress are made easier, thanks to the automatic swiveling capability of the instrument panel and the bench seat.

The oblong steering wheel is surrounded by six copper Graphic User Interface (GUI) information screens that call attention to critical vehicle functions individually. A seventh screen mounted flush inthe steering wheel displays primary vehicle information while allowing the driver to maintain focus on the road ahead.

The versatility of the Mint Concept extends to the design and engineering of its highdensity, battery-electric powertrain, which is capable of an estimated 200 miles per full charge and 350-KW fast recharging.

Former WBC welterweight champion Victor Ortiz (29-5-2, 22KOs) is back for revenge. Ortiz has lost his last three, all inside the distance, and hasn't won a fight since 2011. Ortiz is still only 27-years-old and believes there is more than enough time to rebuild his career.

Ortiz was knocked out in four round by Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2011. The following year he was up on the cards, but couldn't continue past nine after suffering a broken jaw at the hands of Josesito Lopez.

tool and the anchoring mechanism prevents movement of the plug during the differential pressure period. A retrievable bridge plug is usually retrieved by lowering a pulling tool into the well. By mechanical manipulation, the pulling tool is latched to a fishing neck at the top of the tool, the plug is released from the tubing or casing, and pulled out of the well.
One problem in the use of such tools is the risk of retrievable plugs getting stuck when trying to release the plugs out of hole after having been used in a period for sealing differential pressure down hole. Problems with retrieving bridge plugs can include:
a) Sand or debris entering into vital parts in the release system and thereby preventing proper functioning of the mechanical. Sand, and/orFormer Crimewatch presenter Jacqui Hames suggested today that the News of the
World placed her under surveillance because of the paper's links to suspects
in a notorious murder case.

She rejected as ''absolutely pathetic'' ex-News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks's claim that the paper was investigating whether she was having an affair with detective chief superintendent Dave Cook, who was actually her husband.

Ms Hames, herself a former Scotland Yard detective, fought back tears as she told the Leveson Inquiry of the damaging effect that being followed by private investigators had on her and her marriage.

The News of the World placed the couple under surveillance after Mr Cook made an appeal on Crimewatch in June 2002 for information about the 1987 murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan, the inquiry into press


standards heard.

Ms Hames alleged that Mr Morgan's firm Southern Investigations, whose members included suspects in the killing, had ''close links'' to senior News of the World news editor Alex Marunchak.

She said in a statement to the inquiry: ''I believe that the real reason for the News of the World placing us under surveillance was that suspects in the Daniel Morgan murder inquiry were using their association with a powerful and well-resourced newspaper to try to intimidate us and so attempt to subvert the investigation.

The then-News of the World editor said the paper was investigating suspicions they were having an affair, and repeated this explanation at a meeting in 2003.

Ms Hames said in her statement: "This was utterly nonsensical as we had by then been married for four years,had been together for 11 years and had two children.

"Our marriage was common knowledge to the extent that we had even appeared together in Hello! magazine."

Referring to the efforts to find out information about her and her ex-husband, she added: "I think any reasonable person would find it difficult not to put them together and feel that in some way there was some collusion between people at the News of the World and the people who were suspected of committing the murder of Daniel Morgan."

In May 2011 Scotland Yard officers informed Ms Hames that her details had been found in the notebooks of Glenn Mulcaire, a private investigator working for the News of the World who was jailed for phone hacking in 2007.

The information included her payroll and


these entries in Mr Mulcaire's notebooks since 2006 but had chosen neither to inform me nor to investigate it adequately."

She added that she was serving in a covert intelligence unit on a "highly-sensitive" inquiry about airport security at the time the information about her was leaked to Mulcaire.

She said: "I have always been loyal to the MPS, but I do feel very let down by this failure to inform or protect me from the unlawful actions of the press."Boris Johnson mostly avoided talking about Brexit during his rambling inaugural address to the UN General Assembly on the topic of AI.

Speaking in a late slot on Tuesday to a sparsely populated hall, Mr Johnson discussed the potential perils of new technological advances while hailing London as having "the biggest tech [industry] anywhere in Europe".

The speech came on a day when the Supreme Court ruled that his decision to prorogue Parliament was unlawful, making the address his last commitment before cutting his trip to New York short and returning early to the UK.

The prime minister littered his speech with jokes about futuristic "hangover cures", the threat of "pink-eyed Terminators", "terrifying limbless chickens" and household devices that "monitor your nightmares, monitor your fridge".

But he did manage to squeeze in


one dig at his own country's MPs, accusing them of wanting the Brexit process to go on forever.

He made the comment during a discussion of the classical myth of Prometheus, a Titan condemned by Zeus to eternal torture.

"It is a trope as old as literature that any scientific advance is punished by the gods," he said. "When Prometheus brought fire to mankind in a tube of fennel… Zeus punished him by chaining him to a Tartarian crag while his liver was pecked out by an eagle.

"And this went on forever. A bit like the experience of Brexit in the UK, if some of our Parliamentarians had their way."

The joke, as well as this and other classical references during Mr Johnson's speech, drew a few laughs but largely appearedAdrasan, Kumluca

Adrasan, also known as Çavuşköy, is a village in the District of Kumluca, Antalya Province, Turkey. A collection of smaller villages and hamlets, Adrasan extends along a 2.5 Kilometer stretch of coast - most of which is sand and shingle beach. The settlements of this coastal section of Adrasan are almost exclusively dedicated to the tourism industry, with a number of pension style hotels, apartments and restaurants. Moving further inland, agricultural activity is visible in the lowland areas, as well as residential rural settlement.

The surrounding Adrasan Bay is known for its natural environment, and is also a common fishing spot among locals. Boat trips are available daily during the summer months, taking tourists along Antalya's mountainous coastal region. Visibility in these waters can reach up to 25


relying on consumer choices to force such improvements in quality" (p. 58). Many healthcare agents, individual practitioners, as well as institutions and healthcare plans, have specific interests that call for encryption. However, in the long run, the inevitable competition in the healthcare sector implies that both quality and economic performance indicators are publicly accessible. The availability of this kind of data on the internet for public consultation is an example of the importance of the principle of public accountability. Such a practice was implemented both by the British Care Quality Commission as well as by the Portuguese Regulatory Authority of Health.

It is beyond the scope of this paper to analyse in depth the regulator's institutional nature both in a true healthcare market and in a virtual competitive market.is especially important that a distinction is drawn between fundamental needs and "preferences" and an adequate regulatory framework can effectively draw these distinctions as long as the rationale for prioritising is fair and publicly accountable.

Healthcare regulation is rising steadily in many countries and for different reasons. In particular economic, social, political and organizational causes paved the way to stronger healthcare regulation. An example of this evolution is the creation in April 2009 of the British Care Quality Commission. Both in healthcare systems based mainly on the competitive market, such as the US system, and in the public systems such as the National Health Service, the regulatory framework has developed significantly in the last years, at least in part because competition exists almost everywhere. The search for efficiency may


in their interests ...""Third-party accountability. As a result of the centralisation referred to above, the regulator is always a third party to market transactions or inter-organizational relationships. In a market setting, the regulator is a third party to market transactions, providing a framework within which they take place and acting to constrain the actions of buyers and sellers. In non-market settings the regulator is still a third party to the inter-organizational relationships and accountability arrangements. There will always be some kind of reporting, performance management or accountability chain through which an organization is overseen, but the regulator sits outside that chain of command or bureaucratic hierarchy.""Action in the public interest. ...the process of regulation is intended to serve some wider societal goals, often established or expressed by theby society. In this manner, freedom of choice and competition in the healthcare system are promoted as well as the citizens' empowerment.

Public accountability is, more than a performance principle, the main driver of a new culture in the health sector; independently of the degree of the State's intervention and the introduction of the market rules, it needs to be applied effectively so that the objectives of the healthcare system are fully achieved. In particular, the sunshine regulation depends largely on the implementation of this principle as it is not possible, without accurate data, to scrutinize the activity of the healthcare providers. The existence of an appropriate and modern regulatory system is thus an instrumental factor for the global improvement of the healthcare system and, consequently, of the population's


health outcomes.

A crucial aspect of the sunshine regulation is the comparative benchmarking analysis between the healthcare providers. We quote as an example the star rating promoted by the British Care Quality Commission and by the Portuguese Regulatory Authority of Health. The star rating is an example of hierarchisation of relative quality that, according to the principle of public accountability, provides simple and objective information to society (generally in four different levels of hierarchy) on the global performance level of the organization.

In England the rating system was initially promoted by the Health Care Commission, now transformed into Care Quality Commission, and was based in performance indicators giving star ratings to NHS hospital trusts \[[@CR11]\].

LONDON (AP) — Iran has blocked access to a British government website aimed at Iranian audiences in a new act of aggression against the U.K., Britain's Foreign Secretary said Thursday.

William Hague claimed that the website — the online presence of Britain's now shuttered embassy in Tehran — had been deliberately targeted by the Iranian regime.

The decision to disrupt access to the site follows the violent storming of Britain's embassy by demonstrators last month, when a mob trashed rooms, damaged furniture, scrawled graffiti and tore up a portrait of Queen Victoria, as staff took shelter.

Hague pulled British diplomats out of Iran for their own safety and made the rare decision to expel all Iranian diplomats from U.K. soil.

The British website contained information


for Iranian hoping to visit Britain and details on U.K. government policies. Those trying to access the pages are now directed to a list of Iranian government approved websites, including Iran's English-language Press TV.

"This action is counterproductive and ill-judged. It will confirm to the Iranian people that their government is determined to block their access to information, and to conceal from them the international community's legitimate concerns about Iran's policies and behavior. It will also make it harder for Iranian nationals to access information about visiting the U.K.," Hague said.

He said the action provided further proof of "the Iranian government's dire record on freedom of speech and human rights in general."

Earlier this month, a group of leading international broadcasters accused Iran of increasing its intimidation of foreign mediaand accelerating efforts to jam satellite broadcasts in Farsi from reaching Iranian audiences.

Following a meeting of senior media executives in London, Voice of America, the British Broadcasting Corporation, Germany's Deutsche Welle, France's AEF and Radio Netherlands Worldwide issued a joint statement calling for an end to attempts to block independent media.


Just in: Judge rules against controversial provision in this year’s NDAA

A federal judge Wednesday issued an injunction against the controversial National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) provision that grants the military the right to detain anyone it suspects of involvement in terrorism.

Newly-appointed Katherine Forrest of the Southern District of New York, issued a stunning ruling: one which preliminarily enjoins enforcement of the highly controversial indefinite provisions of the National Defense Authorization Act, enacted by Congress and signed into law by President Obama last December.

Salon reports, “This afternoon’s ruling came as part of a lawsuit brought by seven dissident plaintiffs — including Chris Hedges, Dan Ellsberg, Noam Chomsky, and Brigitta Jonsdottir — alleging that the NDAA violates ”both their free speech and associational rights guaranteed by the First Amendment asSunday evening, June 22 2014: A number of fanatic Israeli settlers attacked the funeral of a Palestinian, killed by the Israeli army in al-Biereh, near the central West Bank city of Ramallah, wounding one Palestinian.The Palestinians were participating in the funeral procession of resident Mohammad at-Tareefi, 30, in Jabal at-Tawil neighborhood, when settlers of the Psagot illegitimate settlement opened fire on them, wounding one resident.

Several minutes later, dozens of soldiers arrived at the scene, and fired live ammunition at the residents, and several homes, in al-Biereh.

The Israeli military attack pushed dozens of residents to advance towards Psagot settlements, and hurl stones at it.

The soldiers chased the residents in Dahiat Jabal at-Tawil and al-Jinan area, while firing dozens of rounds of live ammunition, gas bombs, concussion grenades, and rubber-coated


metal bullets.

The funeral procession started in front of the Palestine Medical Center in Ramallah, heading towards the home of the slain Palestinian in Betunia, before advancing towards the Jamal Abdul-Nasser Mosque in al-Biereh city.

At-Tareefy was shot by a live round in his chest during Sunday dawn clashes with Israeli soldiers invading Ramallah.

Israel’s military offensive in different parts of the occupied West Bank started ten days ago, following the disappearance of three Israeli settlers from Gush Etzion settlement, near Bethlehem.

Although Israel said Hamas is behind the “abduction”, Hamas denied the claim.

The ongoing Israeli military invasion led to the abduction of more than 400 Palestinians, many of them are children, and the soldiers invaded and searched more than 1000 areas in the West Bank.

A lot of coaches that are bringing home that kind of money also serve as athletic coordinators or athletic directors at their schools and/or districts.

Among those five highly-compensated guys is a name many will recognize in Austin Westlake (TX) head coach (and district athletic coordinator) Todd Dodge, who served as the quarterbacks coach at Pitt for a short time just after a stint as the head coach at North Texas from 2007-2010. Before going to North Texas, Dodge was the head coach at Southlake Carroll HS (TX), where his teams put together an impressive 79-1 run over four plus seasons.

On Thursday, former UCF star AJ Davis signed with Sigal Prishtina, the team announced. Davis will play this season for the most successful professional team in Kosovo, according to a UCF release.

Sigal Prishtina plays in the Kosovo Basketball Superleague, the Balkan International Basketball League, and the newly formed FIBA Europe Cup. The team has won 12 national championships, 13 national cups and three super cups in 13 years.

The official Sigal Prishtina Instagram account (@prishtinabc) welcomed Davis to the team and wrote that the former Knight will be "useful reinforcement" in European competitions.

Davis posted a screenshot of Sigal Prishtina's media release announcing his signing on his personal Instagram and captioned the photo simply "Blessings".

Davis signs with the team out of Kosovo after participating in the Portsmouth Invitational and competingin multiple workouts with NBA programs this summer.

A three-year starter for the Knights, Davis averaged 12.2 points and led UCF with 7.6 rebounds per game as a senior in 2017-18. The 6-foot-9 wing was named All-Conference Honorable Mention by The American following his final season at UCF.

Davis was also a key member of the Knights’ 2016-17 squad that led the nation in field goal percentage defense. Known for defense himself, Davis helped guide UCF to a 24-12 overall record and a trip to the National Invitation Tournament semifinals.

He becomes the fourth UCF player to start a professional basketball career, following Nick Banyard, Tank Efianayi and Matt Williams off of the 2016-17 roster.

on for over an hour, and he was beginning to lose interest since his victim was nearing the end of her endurance.

"Primitive, but effective," de Tomas remarked to a black-uniformed guard standing nearby at rigid attention. It was not often the Dean of the Collegium himself participated in the sessions, and the guards and technicians were impressed. De Tomas smiled amiably at the woman panting and gasping on the bloodstained rack. She had been a minister of the Anabaptist Sect, in fact one of the last of the Anabaptist leaders on Kingdom, thanks to de Tomas's unflagging pursuit of dangerous thinkers. The few remaining Anabaptists had converted to more politically correct sects, but the dying woman on the rack stubbornly refused to recant. That was all the samehummocks rustle and he heard the sounds of bodies thudding to the ground. Of course—they had been in the trees! No wonder he couldn't tell where they were! There was a time, centuries in the past, when the True People had put snipers in trees. In those days, well-placed snipers in trees could do great damage to superior forces and tie them down for considerable time, even long enough to mount a counterattack. The Master was surprised that the Earthmen Marines still used such a primitive tactic.

Primitive or not, the tactic had certainly been effective: Two Masters, nearly a dozen Leaders, and more than a hundred Fighters had died. He and five Fighters who huddled in the undercut with him were all that remained. Unless some Fighters from


by the flash from a Skink he flamed at close range, Corporal Claypoole didn't see the other Skink racing straight at him. That Skink gripped the hose of his acid shooter and swung the nozzle like a mace at the place his side sensors told him the Marine's head was. The blow glanced off the side of Claypoole's helmet and the point of his left shoulder. Instinctively, he rolled to his right—into the path of the charging Skink. One foot slammed into the top of his helmet and the other clipped his already bruised left shoulder as the Skink flipped over him. Claypoole spun about, ignored the pain of his shoulder, and lunged at the Skink, which was already pushing back to his feet and drawing a largeThe present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant, botanically known as Impatiens hawkeri and hereinafter referred to by the name ‘Duemagpur’.
The new Impatiens plant is a product of a planned breeding program conducted by the Inventor in Rheinberg, Germany. The objective of the breeding program is to create new vigorous and uniform New Guinea Impatiens plants with large and attractive flowers.
The new Impatiens plant originated from a cross-pollination made by the Inventor in July, 2007 in Rheinberg, Germany of a proprietary selection of Impatiens hawkeri identified as code number F-0303-1809, not patented, as the female, or seed, parent with a proprietary selection of Impatiens hawkeri identified as code number N02-0046-001, not patented, as the male, or pollen, parent. The new Impatiens


plant was discovered and selected by the Inventor as a single flowering plant from within the progeny of the stated cross-pollination in a controlled greenhouse environment in Rheinberg, Germany in May, 2011.
Asexual reproduction of the new Impatiens plant by terminal cuttings in a controlled greenhouse environment in Rheinberg, Germany since July, 2011 has shown that the unique features of this new Impatiens plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations.Absence of human astrovirus RNA in sewage and environmental samples.
Over a period of several weeks during the summer of 1996, samples of sewage, sea water, river water, sand and silt were collected from a sewage works at Weston-super-Mare, England and from coastal areas nearby. A sensitive reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to search for human astrovirus (HAstV) RNA in concentrates of the samples. No evidence of astrovirus was found in any sample, which suggests that contamination with these viruses is not a problem in this area during the summer holiday season. Furthermore, the single case of astrovirus diarrhoea diagnosed in this laboratory in the summer occurred at the end of the sampling period, and not in the survey area. The primers used sometimes yielded a product


One person had to be revived by paramedics after suffering a cardiac arrest in student halls.

They - along with another individual - were rushed to Bath's Royal United Hospital following a "serious" incident at the University of Bath's Carpenter House block on Broad Quay, near Churchill Bridge.

The age and sex of the patients has not been revealed by the emergency services.

A South Western Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: "Thanks to the efforts of highly skilled paramedics the patient was revived and taken to the Royal United Hospital.Ileal intussusception in 16 young thoroughbreds.
The paper describes the outcome of 16 cases of short-ileal-ileal intussusception in young Thoroughbred horses. The intussusception was often associated with chronic or intermittent low grade abdominal pain. At laparotomy, only the intussusception was reduced in one horse; in another, a myotomy of the thickened stenosed intussusception was carried out after reduction. In 11 cases as ileocaecal bypass anastomosis was performed proximal to the intussusception after its reduction. One horse was subjected to euthanasia during operation because of irreversible intestinal wall damage and another because of intestinal rupture. One foal had a cardiac arrest following reduction of the intussusception. One horse was subjected to euthanasia 4 months post-operatively because of intractable abdominal pain caused by intestinal adhesions. Although several horses suffered episodes of


Star Wars: Episode IX is coming sooner than we expected: Disney just moved the release date for the film up to May 24th, 2019, io9 reports.

Colin Trevorrow (Jurassic World) will direct the final installment of the sequel trilogy, set to follow The Last Jedi, which will be out at the end of this year. As io9 points out, the other two sequels were both scheduled for a Christmas release, but Episode IX will be the outlier arriving on Memorial Day. The Hans Solo standalone movie has also been given a May release date. The first six Star Wars films were also released in the summer, so this could be a return to that schedule.device is provided between main drive wheels and auxiliary drive wheels to thereby adjust an average rotational speed of the auxiliary drive wheels to an average rotational speed of the main drive wheels.
