Burglars Escape Jail

SNOW HILL — Two of the four suspects arrested last fall in connection with a residential burglary in Ocean City dating back to June 2010 pleaded guilty last week in Circuit Court to theft from $1,000 to under $10,000 and each received suspended jail sentences.

On June 30, 2010, OCPD officers responded to a reported burglary at a residence on Island Edge Drive. The investigation revealed the suspects had gained entry to the residence through the garage and hadstolen a 42-inch flat screen television, a DVD player and various pieces of jewelry totaling over $1,000. The estimated total value of the items stolen, including the television and the jewelry came to over $2,000. The scene was processed for evidence and no suspects were immediately identified.

In November 2011, an OCPD detective received a tip from an anonymous source that as many as five people were involved in the break-in including Wesley Francis, 21, of Thurmont, Md., Nicholas McClain, 19, of Middletown, Md., Todd Rewolinski, 19, of Frederick, Md. and Kyle Tharpe, 19, of Middle River, along with a female suspect. The investigation revealed the five suspects were staying at a place in Sunset Island in June 2010 and that they had been kicked out for an unknown


reason.

Because the suspects didn’t have any money, they came up with the idea to break into an unoccupied neighboring residence, according to police reports. The investigation revealed the suspects broke into the residence and took the television and other goods and loaded the stolen property into a pick-up truck owned by Francis. In December 2011, OCPD detectives traveled to Thurmont to interview Francis and observed a white pick-up matching the description parked in the driveway.

Francis, who is deaf, told OCPD officers through an interpreter he was had been involved in the June 2010 burglary in Ocean City. Francis told police he entered the residence with Rewolinski, Tharpe and McClain and that he backed his truck up to the garage before entering the house. Francis told police the fourmen then loaded the television into his truck and that he later dropped Rewolinski off at another residence with the television. Francis was formally charged with first-degree burglary, theft and malicious destruction of property in January and now awaits a May trial date.

Also in December 2011, OCPD detectives interviewed McClain, also deaf, who admitted his part in the burglary. McClain said he and the other suspects got into the house through the garage and stole the television and other goods. McClain was also charged in January with first-degree burglary and other charges for his role in the break-in. In February, McClain pleaded guilty to fourth-degree burglary and in May he was sentenced to 18 months in jail with all but 15 months suspended.

Last week, Francis and Tharpe each


Court last week.

Around 6:30 p.m. on May 5, Ocean City Police responded to the area of 39th Street and Coastal Highway for a reported motor vehicle accident and assault. When officers arrived on the scene, they observed a 2011 Mazda parked across the sidewalk. The vehicle had struck an exterior wall, brick staircase, railing and mailbox of a real estate office on 39th Street.

The investigation revealed the driver, identified as Ladon Chimere Thomas, 28, had been in a verbal argument with her brother, which led to a physical altercation between the two siblings. After the altercation, Thomas got into her vehicle and turned north onto Coastal Highway. She then suddenly and deliberately swerved onto the sidewalk, striking her brother from the rear, according to police reports. The vehiclethen collided with a real estate office, causing damage to the business.

During the course of the investigation, Thomas was highly agitated and continued to yell, scream and curse, according to police reports. She also allegedly assaulted a police officer while providing a description of the incident. The victim was transported by Ocean City Emergency Services to PRMC.

Thomas was also transported by Ocean City Emergency Services to Atlantic General and was later released. After her release, Thomas was arrested and charged with first- and second-degree assault for hitting her brother with the vehicle, along with second-degree assault on a police officer. Thomas’ case was originally set for District Court, but was forwarded to Circuit Court last week.

The day before Pako Ayestarán flew to Singapore to meet the Valencia owner Peter Lim and discuss becoming the manager at Mestalla, he phoned Gary Neville to ask for his blessing. Neville was the one who had taken him there in the first place, after all, the man who had publicly insisted “when I go, Pako goes”, and now Ayesteran was about to take his job. It was an “awkward” phone call but, if the Englishman wasn’t entirely pleased, he told Ayestarán to go for it. He also told Lim that his former assistant was the best man for the job. At the time, the new manager was grateful. He might not be so sure now. They might not be, either.

Six months on, Valencia are bottom of thethe rest. Rafinha scored too: and it was a beauty.

• Not as much of a beauty as Nicola Sansone for Villarreal, mind you: from 52 metres away. Woof! Mind you, Aduriz’s second for Bilbao was lovely, as was Gabriel’s free-kick – the first ever top-flight goal Leganés have scored at Butarque. And while Momo got a penalty for Las Palmas, the 18-man move that led to it was pretty impressive.

• Then there was Antoine Griezmann, who went all Messi on everyone at the Calderón, scoring two – the second brilliant – and taking Sporting apart. “He was the best player in Europe last season, without doubt,” his coach Diego Simeone said.

IS loses 12% of territory since January - IHS Published duration 11 July 2016 Related Topics Syrian civil war

image copyright Reuters image caption Since recapturing Falluja, Iraqi pro-government forces have turned their sights on Mosul

The jihadist group Islamic State lost 12% of the territory it controlled in Iraq and Syria in the first half of 2016, a defence consultancy says.

IHS found the "caliphate" proclaimed by IS two years ago had shrunk to 68,300 sq km (26,370 sq miles).

The losses had led IS to step up its attacks on civilian targets in the Middle East and Europe, which were likely to intensify, it said.

Almost 300 people died in an IS suicide bombing in Baghdad last week.

The attack came days after the Iraqi government declared that it had retaken fullcontrol of the city of Falluja, just west of the capital.

IHS said that in January 2015, six months after IS declared the creation of a caliphate, the group controlled some 90,800 sq km of Iraq and Syria.

By December, that had shrunk by 12,800 sq km to 78,000 sq km, a net loss of 14%.

Since then, IS had lost a further 9,700 sq km and now controlled 68,300 sq km, which is roughly the size of the Republic of Ireland or the US state of West Virginia, according to IHS.

In Syria, IS has come under pressure from government forces backed by Russia and Iran, and Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces fighters supported by a US-led multinational coalition.

The SDF captured the eastern town of Shaddadi, a major hub for IS, in


February and in March the ancient town of Palmyra was retaken by government forces.

In Iraq, troops and allied militiamen are preparing for a long-awaited offensive to retake the northern city of Mosul, IS's last remaining urban stronghold there.

"As the Islamic State's caliphate shrinks and it becomes increasingly clear that its governance project is failing, the group is re-prioritising insurgency," said Columb Strack, a senior analyst at IHS.Officer captured on video hitting man convicted of assault A former police sergeant in Georgia who was captured on video hitting a man during a traffic stop has been convicted of aggravated assault and battery

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- A former police sergeant in Georgia who was captured on video hitting a man during a traffic stop has been convicted of aggravated assault and battery.

Michael Bongiovanni, 44, on Tuesday pleaded no contest to the charges, the Gwinnett County district attorney's office said Wednesday.

Cellphone video showed Bongiovanni hitting Demetrius Hollins as he stood with his hands up during the April 2017 traffic stop. Video also showed then-officer Robert McDonald stomping on Hollins' head as he lay on the ground handcuffed.

The Gwinnett County Police Department fired the two officers a day after


the arrest when the video surfaced.

For the aggravated assault charge, Bongiovanni will serve six months in work release, followed by five months' home confinement, with the balance of a 10-year sentence to be served on probation, prosecutors said. He was also sentenced to serve a year of probation for the battery charge, but that will be served at the same time as the probation for the aggravated assault charge.

When recommending a sentence, prosecutors weighed several factors, including Bongiovanni's 19-year law enforcement career, the injuries Hollins suffered and the need for justice for Hollins and the county's citizens, the release said.

Gwinnett County Superior Court Judge Warren Davis also ordered Bongiovanni not to work in law enforcement. He was also ordered to allow the state access to his internal affairsinvestigation file and to testify against McDonald.

No trial date has been set for McDonald.

Hollins was driving a red Acura without a tag and with a broken brake light when he changed lanes twice and turned right without signaling, Bongiovanni wrote in his incident report.

During the traffic stop, Hollins yelled and began to "act strange," and based on that and Bongiovanni's recollection of Hollins' behavior during a previous arrest in August 2016, Bongiovanni called for backup, the report says.

Hollins refused to obey when Bongiovanni ordered him out of the car and resisted when Bongiovanni tried to arrest him, the report says. Bongiovanni also wrote that McDonald arrived after Bongiovanni had used his stun gun on Hollins and gotten him handcuffed on the ground.

Bongiovanni's report didn't mention him hitting Hollins


or any contact between McDonald and Hollins.

Witnesses began calling 911 to report excessive use of force by an officer shortly after the arrest, prosecutors said. The witnesses said the officer hit a driver while the driver had his hands up and that another officer ran up with his gun drawn and stomped on the driver's head.

Videos of the arrest surfaced online and showed Bongiovanni hitting Hollins in the face and McDonald holding his gun as he ran up and stomped on Hollins' head, prosecutors said.

McDonald had been hired by the department in August 2013 and graduated from the police academy in March 2014. Bongiovanni had been hired in September 1998 and graduated from the academy in February 1999.

After the officers were fired, then-Gwinnett County Solicitor-General Rosanna Szabo, whoseUSD short position within the carry trades will begin to result in losses and margin calls as the USD appreciates versus the CNY, thus forcing investors to liquidate some of their positions. These trades, which took years to amass, could unwind abruptly and exert an influence of historic magnitude on markets and economies.

Amendment XIV:

1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

2: Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choiceof electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

3: No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State,


who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

4: The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurredin aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

5: The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

After the Civil War came the Reconstruction Amendments. Thinking about the Civil War leads to thinking about the compromises in the Constitution over slavery, which in turn leads to thinking about the Declaration of Independence. The Declaration embodied the principles that were compromised, “the proposition that all men are created equal.” The Reconstruction Amendments in a sense constitutionalize the promise of the Declaration and represent a “new birth of freedom,” eliminating the compromises in the Constitution over slavery. While the


13th Amendment prohibits de jure slavery and the 15th Amendment secures voting rights, the 14th Amendment is as a guaranty against de facto slavery.

The Constitution of 1789 contained a few key limits on state action. No state could enter into treaties, coin money, pass bills of attainder or ex post facto laws, impair contracts or confer nobility, impose tariffs, conduct foreign policy or make war. Citizens of each state were entitled to the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states, but states had the power to determine who was a citizen. Every state was guaranteed a Republican form of government.

States could make laws with respect to almost any other subject matter, and enforce them as they saw fit, subject only to the state constitution. The stateshad broad latitude to shape their laws, to determine issues with respect to fairness and rights, and therewith shape the habits – the virtues and vices – of their peoples. This latitude included, by intention, the power to impose and protect slavery (and by extension other social and political perversions, short of monarchical government). The 14th Amendment fundamentally changed this.

Section 1 of the 14th Amendment reads:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due

After the Balkan wars, the western half goes to Serbia, the eastern half to Bulgaria. On the bank of the river that bisects the village, a young Vladislav argues with his cousin, Vera, whose family lives on the western side.

The narrator of “Makedonija,” which opens the collection, finds a parcel of letters from his wife’s first love among her things. He swallows his envy and reads them aloud to his mute and immobile wife. The letters, written from the front, prompt the old man to tell the story (but only to us — only internally) of his long-dead brother, who took to the hills to join the partisans. He says, “At my age, a story stirs up a vortex that sucks up into its eye more stories, and spits out still more.” That vortex manifests literally in “Devshirmeh” as a Texas tornado.

About the Book

Technology has become the architect of our intimacies. Online, we fall prey to the illusion of companionship, gathering thousands of Twitter and Facebook friends, and confusing tweets and wall posts with authentic communication. But this relentless connection leads to a deep solitude. MIT professor Sherry Turkle argues that as technology ramps up, our emotional lives ramp down. Based on hundreds of interviews and with a new introduction taking us to the present day, Alone Together describes changing, unsettling relationships between friends, lovers, and families.

About the Author

Sherry Turkle is the Abby Rockefeller Mauzé Professor of the Social Studies of Science and Technology in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at MIT and the founder and director


of the MIT Initiative on Technology and Self. She lives in Boston, Massachusetts.

successful career on the netball courts, Bailey decided to give football a crack inspired by the Women’s revolution in the sport.

Joining the Melbourne Cricket Club’s inaugural football team playing in the VAFA Women’s Division 3 in 2018, Bailey starred in her first year on the field, powering the MCC side to a 10-4 record, good for second on the ladder, before the team bowed out in the preliminary final.

Capping off her stellar season, Bailey was awarded the best and fairest award for the division, a prestigious honour.

But displaying her team-first and humble nature which has endeared her to her teammates, Bailey would have much rather celebrated a win as a team over any personal accolades.

Facebook's vice president of partnerships, Dan Rose, is working to build relationships with media companies, which could drive more ad spending.

Facebook shares slid lower Tuesday after a BTIG analyst downgraded the stock and questioned the company's mobile strategy. However, the social media giant's vice president of partnerships, Dan Rose, was optimistic about the company and its future while attending the Dive Into Media Conference in Dana Point, Calif.

Rose said, "2012 was the year we became a mobile first company, but 2013 is the year we are going to be a 'mobile BEST' company."

He pointed out that 680 million users are on Facebook's mobile app and 70 percent return every day.

On Tuesday, BTIG analyst Richard Greenfield downgraded Facebook to "sell" and


gave the stock a $22 price target. He warned that as more consumers shift to mobile, the less time they spend on Facebook.

At the conference, hosted by AllthingsD, Rose is working on building relationships with the media companies, which could drive the next phase of Facebook's mobile ad growth.

News, game, movie, and TV companies are interested in generating more conversation—content—about their products, which should drive more ad spending by those media companies.

With apps like Spotify taking off last year, Rose believes 2013 is the year people will discover movies and other entertainment on Facebook.

8- In 1959, manufacturing represented 28 percent of all U.S. economic output. In 2008, it represented only 11.5 percent.

9) As of the end of 2009, less than 12 million Americans worked in manufacturing. The last time less than 12 million Americans were employed in manufacturing was in 1941.

10) With so much manufacturing leaving the United States, is it any wonder why people can’t find jobs? The “official” unemployment rate in the United States has been at ninea trillion dollars (or more) of our wealth will have left the United States for good.

17) All of this wealth leaving the United States is having a huge impact on the standard of living of average Americans. Ten years ago, the United States was ranked No. 1 in average wealth per adult. In 2010, the United States has fallen to seventh.

18) It is now just a matter of time until India is going to pass us as an economic power. In fact, the economy of India is projected to become larger than the U.S. economy by the year 2050.

19) It is now being projected that China will soon dwarf us as an economic power. One prominent economist now says that the Chinese economy will be three times larger


gives us two hints: 13 is an unlucky number and 18 signifies the number of years of persecution giving our theory further credibility.

Therese Neumann – Summary Of Her Most Interesting Prophecies

The most significant part of Therese’s predictions affect our current time. At the end of World War II, when people cheered for the end of dictatorships (an end that Teresa had prophesied when the ”Pact of Steel” was entered on the eve of the conflict between Italy and Germany ) she said,., ‘this is justified joy, because the nightmare is over .. but the great plague will open in 1999 and it will bleed for eighteen years: this will be the time of Cain(the murderer)”.

”On the highest throne – Teresa confided to a friend – I saw seatedof this appeal.
John G. Russell and Vada Russell, the plaintiffs-appellants, are husband and wife as are Francis H. Russell and Hazel Russell, the defendants-respondents. John and Francis are brothers.[1]
This cause of action was instituted by Jack and Sue Russell by the filing of a petition in the Circuit Court of St. Louis County, Missouri, seeking to have title to the tract of land in issue declared to be vested in them pursuant to the provisions of § 516.010 RSMo. 1969. Harold and Hazel filed an Amended Answer, on which the cause came on for trial, wherein they alleged that they had acquired title to the *629 tract in dispute by general warranty deed of June 14, 1948, which was duly recorded in the records of the Recorder of


allegations contained therein. As to Count I of respondents' Counterclaim, appellants after admitting the family relationships, denied that the respondents owned the property, admitted that they resided at 8985 Dunn Road, and denied the remainder of the respondents' allegations. With respect to Count II of the Counterclaim, appellants incorporated by reference the allegations contained in their Reply to Count I and denied the remainder of the allegations.
The cause was assigned to the Equity Division of the Circuit Court of St. Louis County whereupon the appellants filed a motion to remove the cause from the equity docket and assign it to a law division so they would be afforded a jury trial. This motion was sustained but was later reconsidered on motion of the respondents and reassigned to the338 Mo. 349, 89 S.W.2d 954, 959[1] (1936).
The evidence, viewed in the light of the principles of appellate review stated supra, was that Louise Russell[3] was the mother of both Jack and Harold Russell. In addition to these two, she also bore two other children, Arthur C. and Dorothy R., both deceased at the time of trial. During her lifetime Mrs. Russell operated a floral shop and at divers times was helped by the children. At different times she gave portions of her estate to Arthur, Dorothy and Jack. To Arthur she gave a saloon, to Dorothy, money, and to Jack, a home. Harold took over the floral business and Mrs. Russell lived with Harold and Hazel in the family home on Kossuth Avenue in St. Louis, which


Mrs. Russell conveyed to herself, Harold and Hazel. She died in 1947 and her estate was never probated because at the time of her death she had no assets. She handled her own affairs up to the time of her demise. At one point in time Mrs. Russell, Harold and Hazel joined in a deed conveying the home on Aldine Avenue to Jack and Laura Russell, his first wife, in consideration for which Jack executed a document whereby he relinquished any claim he might have on Mrs. Russell's estate. This first marriage of Jack's ended in divorce and he moved to Chicago, Illinois, where he married his present wife, Sue. In 1947 Jack experienced some financial difficulties and he wrote to Harold requesting that Harold lend him $200.00.Jack wrote Harold several letters bemoaning his plight and finally in one letter suggested to Harold that he, Jack, come back to St. Louis for awhile, "make a bunch of flowers and make them some money." Early in 1948 Jack came to St. Louis and he and Harold discussed Jack's going onto the Dunn Road property, building a house on it and raising evergreens on it. Title to the property was never discussed. He thought it was part of his mother's estate. Jack and his family returned to St. Louis and on or about September 1, 1948, he started building a house on the Dunn Road tract. Harold paid for the lumber and material which went into the construction of this house. Jack did 95% of the labor


on the construction of a three room frame house, and Harold and one of Harold's chauffeurs did the balance. Sometime in October, 1948, Jack had a well dug at a cost of $36.00 and he paid for this. Harold paid for the pump which was placed on the well. Since then Jack has made other improvements on the tract. He has added two rooms, put in water, plumbing and some more electricity. About 15 or 16 years ago Jack built a shop, which he uses for welding and to make barbecue pits. He has farmed the property and on occasion has rented it to others to farm. He also rented a portion of the property for a concrete construction firm to park its construction equipment. He retained therents for himself. He also permitted a policeman to erect a structure and keep his police dog on the property. In the early 1950's Hardesty & Johnson erected a sign advertising a subdivision Lynn Havenand he knocked it down the same evening it was erected. Sometime after this occurrence, Hauschulte Realty Co. and the Nooney Realty Co. erected signs on the property and he knocked them down also. Sometime in 1972 some men commenced removing some maple trees from the property and he ordered them off of the property.
There was also testimony by Jack and Sue that approximately three months after *633 he built the house Harold told him that he had a farm in Dexter, Missouri, which he would let Jack have if Jack moved off the


Dunn Road property. Jack replied that he didn't lose a thing in Dexter, Missouri, and "You come and get me off." Also, sometime in 1950, Harold called him and asked him to help with the taxes. He replied that his wife was sick and he was in a bind and could not help. Again, at some later date, "the late 50's," Harold called Sue and asked her to talk Jack into taking a piece of property in St. Charles County and leaving the Dunn Road property. She conveyed this message to Jack.
At all times while the appellants occupied the Dunn Road property they were under the impression that it was part of Louise Russell's estate and Jack's share of her estate, until they received a letter sometime inman, testified that he prepared their income taxes, that he never took off any deductions for real estate taxes, and that on one occasion Jack told him he did not have to worry about paying any rent. Ralph Bastean testified that he rented six acres of the farm from appellants in 1972, farmed it, and paid the rent to appellants. Joseph Montrey testified that he has known appellants for thirty years or more and although Jack never told him that he owned the Dunn Road property he had the understanding from conversations around the tavern he owned that Jack's mother owned the property. Herman Kienstra, who has known the appellants since around the late forties or early fifties, testified that he furnished some ready-mix concrete, sand and cement


to the premises several times through the years, and that some of this was used for the floor of the welding shop. Jack paid for this material. Jack told Mr. Kienstra that his mother owned the property.
Appellants also called as a witness their son, Ronald L. Russell, who testified that he had lived on the Dunn Road property for 18 years and during that time his father told him: "This is my property and this is my share of my mother's estate." While he lived on the property he observed his father tear down one sign which had been erected on the property and also saw his brother knock down another.
Jack admitted that he never advised Harold that he had destroyed the signs which had been erected onthe land without his permission. Harold had been on the property only once in the last 23 years and the last time Jack saw Harold was seven years ago at Arthur's funeral. They did not discuss the property then. Until he received the letter from Mr. Hetlage in September of 1972 he did not know that Harold had a deed to the Dunn Road property. No one discussed his mother's estate with him at the time of her death nor immediately after; at some unspecified time he did discuss her estate with Arthur. On one occasion when he went to the Hazelwood City Hall to obtain a permit for a gas tank, he saw his mother's name on a document there. He testified that he knew deeds are


recorded in the office of the Recorder of Deeds.
From appellants' evidence we believe it is clear that they entered upon the Dunn Road property in the belief that Jack Russell had an interest therein as an heir at law of Louise Russell; that this was "his share of his mother's estate." At no time did Jack testify that he believed the tract was his alone, or that the entire tract of land was his share of the estate, or that his *634 sister and brothers had no interest therein. Nor did he testify that he thought it was his share of the estate to the exclusion of the other heirs of Louise Russell. In effect, his own evidence was that he took possession and entered upon the propertythe central office to the customer premises, which greatly reduces the cost of implementing Fiber To The Building (FTTB) and Fiber To The Home (FTTH).
Therefore, it is essential to monitor and maintain the fiber link between the OLT at the central office and the ONU at the customer premises. In practice, a mode of monitoring and maintaining the fiber link is: The ONU at the customer premises sends a burst optical signal to the OLT at the central office, and the OLT at the central office receives the burst optical signal and measures the power of the burst optical signal, and then analyzes and monitors the performance of the fiber link between the OLT and the ONU according to the power value of the burst optical signal.

The defiant New York county clerk who has refused to hand over names and addresses of handgun permit holders to a newspaper that has stirred controversy by publishing the public information is standing firm, saying it's a matter of safety.

"This certainly puts my public in danger," Putnam County Clerk Dennis Sant said in reiterating his stance against the Journal News, a daily paper that serves the New York City suburbs of Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties.

Assemblyman Steve Katz backed Sant, saying the newspaper had exposed the names of those who own guns for no good reason, and said the decision could put people at risk.

Some readers say it unfairly stigmatized gun owners, branding them in the same way as online maps showing where child molesters live. The newspaper says it received threats and has posted armed guards at its offices.

Journal News Publisher Janet Hasson did not respond to several requests for comment Thursday but has issued statements previously standing behind the newspaper's project and maintaining residents have a right to see such public information.

Diane Kennedy, president of the New York News Publishers Association, said she reached out to Hasson offering support. She said editors may debate whether the Journal News should have published the database, but they fully backed the newspaper's right to access public records under New


Michael Bakunin.

by Max Nettlau

Most centenarians, even when born much later and still among us, are but dried-up relics of a remote past; whilst some few, though gone long since, remain full of life, and rather make us feel ourselves how little life and energy there is in most of us. These men, in advance of their age, prepared new ways for coming generations, who are often but too slow to follow them up. Prophets and dreamers, thinkers and rebels they are called, and of those who, in the strife for freedom and social happiness for all, united the best qualities of these four descriptions, Michael Bakunin is by far the best known. In recalling his memory, we will not forget the many less known thinkers and rebels, veryBut each of the three ideas penetrates the other two and constitutes with them a living realisation of freedom, just as all our intellectual, political, and social prejudices and evils descend from one common source—authority. Whoever reads “God and the State,” the best known of Bakunin”‘s many written expositions of these ideas, may discover that when the scales of religion fall from his eyes, at the same moment also the State will appear to him in its horrid hideousness, and anti-Statist Socialism will be the only way out. The thoroughness of Bakunin”‘a Socialist propaganda is, to my impression, unique.

From these remarks it may be gathered that I dissent from certain recent efforts to revindicate Bakunin almost exclusively as a Syndicalist. He was, at the time of the International,


he wished to protect the masses against the greedy politician who, under the cloak of Socialism, farms and exploits their electoral “power” in our age of progress!

He also wished to prevent their falling under the leadership of sectarian Socialism of any kind. He did not wish them, however, to fall into the hands and under the thumbs of Labour leaders, whom he knew, to satiety, in Geneva, and whom he stigmatised in his Egalitéarticles of 1869. His idea was that among the organised masses interested in economic warfare thoroughgoing revolutionists, Anarchists, should exercise an invisible yet carefully concerted activity, co-ordinating the workers”‘ forces and making them strike a common blow, nationally and internationally, at the right moment. The secret character of this inner circle, Fraternité and Alliance, wasfor making such arrangements has also nearly gone. To Bakunin, who participated in the movements of 1848-49, in the Polish insurrection in the early “sixties,” in secret Italian movements, and who, like so many, foresaw the fall of the French Empire and a revolution in Paris, which might have happened under better al spices than the Commune of 1871—to him, then, an international Socialist “‘S8 or “‘48, a real social revolution, was a tangible thing which might really happen before his eyes, and which he did his best to really bring about by secretly influencing and co-ordinating local mass movements. We in our sober days have so often been told that all this is impossible, that revolutions are hopeless and obsolete, that, with few exceptions, no effort is


what I am not doing myself: I merely state the fact that with Bakunin a great part of faith in the revolution died, that the hope and confidence which emanated from his large personality were never restored, and that the infinite possibilities of the last twenty-five years found many excellent comrades who did their best, but none upon whose shoulders the mantle of Bakunin has fallen.

What, then, was and is Bakunin”‘s influence?

It is wonderful to think how he arose in the International at the right moment to prevent the influence of Marx, always predominant in the Northern countries, from becoming general. Without him, dull, political, electioneering Marxism would have fallen like mildew also on the South of Europe. We need but think how Cafiero, later on the boldestItaiian Anarchist, first returned to Naples as the trusted friend and admirer of Marx; how Lafargue, Marx”‘s son-in-law, was the chosen apostle of Marxism for Spain, etc. To oppose the deep-laid schemes of Marx, a man of Bakunin”‘s experience and initiative was really needed; by him alone the young movements of Italy and Spain, those of the South of France and of French-speaking Switzerland, and a part of the Russian movement, were welded together, learnt to practise international solidarity, and to prepare international action. This alone created a lasting basis for the coming Anarchist movement, whilst everywhere else the other Socialist movements, described as Utopian and unscientific, had to give way to Marxism, proclaimed as the only scientific doctrine! Persecutions after revolutionary attempts often reduced these free territories


of Anarchism to a minimum; but when Italy, Spain, and France were silenced, some corner in Switzerland where Bakunin”‘s seed had fallen always remained, and in this way, thanks to the solid work of Bakunin and his comrades, mainly from 1868 to 1874, Anarchy, was always able to face her enemies and to revive.

The immediate influence of Bakunin was reduced after he had retired from the movement in 1874, when certain friends left him; bad health—he died in June, 1876—prevented him continuing his work with fresh elements gathered round him. Soon after his death a period of theoretical elaboration began, when the methods of distribution were examined and Communist Anarchism is its present form was shaped. In those years also, after the failure of many collective revolts, thestruggle became more bitter, and individual action, propaganda by deed was resorted to, a proceeding which made preconcerted secret arrangements in Bakunin”‘s manner useless. In this way, both his economic ideas, Collectivist Anarchism, and his favourite method of action alluded to, became so to speak obsolete, and were neglected.

Add to this that from about 1879 and 1880 Anarchism could be openly propagated on a large scale in France (mainly in Paris and in the Lyons region). This great extension of the propaganda gave so much new work, a new spirit entered the groups, soon arts and science were permeated with Anarchism—Elisée Reclus”‘ wonderful influence was at work. In Bakunin”‘s stormy days there was no time for this, through no fault of his. In short, Anarchism in France and


other English Anarchist pamphlet existed, and its radical Anarchist freethought or thoroughly freethinking Anarchism certainly left lasting marks on the early Anarchist propagandists, and will continue to do so. Of course, the same applies to translations in many countries.

About 1896, a considerable part of Bakunin”‘s correspondence was published, preceded and followed by many extracts from his unpublished manuscripts, a part of which is now before us in the six volumes of the Paris edition of his works. It became possible, with the help of these and many other sources, to examine his life in detail, and in particular to give. proofs in hand, the story of the great struggle in the International, and to scatter the calumnies and lies heaped up by the Marxist writers and the bourgeoisThis invention relates to turbine airfoils, and more particularly to hollow turbine airfoils, such as rotor or stator blades, having internal channels for passing fluids such as air to cool the airfoils.

The neural crest is the name given to the strip of cells at the junction between neural and epidermal ectoderm in neurula-stage vertebrate embryos, which is later brought to the dorsal neural tube as the neural folds elevate. The neural crest is a heterogeneous and multipotent progenitor cell population whose cells undergo EMT then extensively and accurately migrate throughout the embryo. Neural crest cells contribute to nearly every organ system in the body, with derivatives of neuronal, glial, neuroendocrine, pigment, and also mesodermal lineages. This breadth of developmental capacity has led to the neural crest being termed the fourth germ layer. The neural crest has occupied a prominent place in developmental biology, due to its exaggerated migratory morphogenesis and its remarkably wide

There is no agreement among scientists on which particular aspects of civilisation are most to blame for the emergence and undoubted increase in Western nations during this century of common degenerative diseases. Duodenal ulcer, coronary thrombosis, hypertension and other degenerations appear to be as common in quiet rural communities as in the cities. The frequency of these conditions in the Scottish Highlands where the tempo of life remains slow would seem to rule out stress or psychological factors as important. Changes in diet are now thought by many scientists to be the most likely cause for the increase in diseases of civilisation.
