or the Great Silence is that _all_ races _invariably_ do this _without exception_. Why this should be so is difficult to see.

Those with the traditional "conquer the planets" viewpoint believe in an inhabited galaxy because they can. Those who view the future from the "High Frontier" perspective tend to believe that we do not share the galaxy with other technological cultures, reasoning that the alternative is a galaxy which is so thoroughly-inhabited that the signs would be highly distinctive, and could not be overlooked.

This is what we find happening among the rebels in Zaire. Children, some as young as eight, are being pressed into battle. That by itself would be deplorable, but the rebels go beyond this, taking advantage of a child's penchant for belief in the fantastic to convince them they are invincible, and cannot be killed.

The rebels promote a pre-existing myth of mystical warriors known as the Mayi-Mayi. Children who are indoctrinated in this belief are taught that wearing a green vine garland with leaves or grass around their heads can confer invisibility. They are prohibited from touching a non-Mayi-Mayi, and are warned not to touch any object picked up off the ground until after sprinkling it with a special powder. Most of all, they are told


resources of the asteroid belt (merely the most convenient source of materials, and not the only one), we could still build, in the form of orbital habitats, over 3,000 times the livable surface area of the Earth.

Thus, Mars holds out the promise of becoming home to a planetary civilization which might rival that of Earth. Orbital colonies can form a space-based civilization that far surpasses Earth's in both size and diversity.

**Location Options**

Martian settlements would be a home on Mars. Orbital settlements could be homes anywhere in the solar system (and perhaps even beyond) that we care to be, as long as we're not frequently eclipsed by a planet. One can locate further from the sun simply by making the habitat mirrors bigger, and slightly concave, so as toconcentrate the sunlight up to Earthly levels. Even the apparent diameter of the sun in the sky would be the same as we're presently used to. Habitat orbits beyond Pluto are not out of the question. Unfortunately, this same solution cannot be used to raise the sunlight levels for colonies on the surface of Mars, due to the impracticality of such flimsy mirrors in an environment of gravity and weather.

Some space-based societies will doubtless elect to remain close to Earth, enjoying both real-time communication with, and speedy travel to, the homeworld. Other groups, wishing to remain forever apart from Earth-centered civilization, could choose to become far more remote than even Martians ever could.

Significantly, orbital territories would be mobile. This is yet another clear advantage that would scarcely even


future Martian civilization. He's been quoted as referring to O'Neill's concepts for constructing orbital habitats and Solar Power Satellites from space resources as "absurd".

In his paper "The Economic Viability of Mars Colonization", Zubrin makes the following remark:

But the biggest problem with the Moon, as with all other airless planetary bodies and proposed artificial free-space colonies (such as those proposed by Gerard O'Neill) is that sunlight is not available in a form useful for growing crops. This is an extremely important point and it is not well understood.

This point is not only "not well understood", but is quite surprising to one viewing things from the High Frontier perspective, which holds that solar energy is more available in High Earth Orbit than on any planetary body. But Zubrin proceeds tobumping into its interior cabin walls.

The shuttle has sometimes engaged in experiments where even the minutest disturbances in the _orientation_ of the orbiter can be detrimental to results (such as Earth-scanning radars or astronomical observations). I suspected a confusion between "orientation" and "orbit", either on the part of the debater or the documentary itself. But to my horror, another debater (by all accounts a physics PhD) agreed that astronauts inside a space craft could indeed change its orbit by bouncing off its walls.

That same PhD had earlier (and somewhat enigmatically) declared, "The moon is the port of entry into Earth". When we asked what exactly he meant by that, he said he'd have to think about it a while and get back to us (there could hardly be


a clearer signal of the ad-hoc reasoning process at work).

When his explanation came, it was this: In the future there will be asteroid mining. Both raw materials and semi-finished goods will be sent back to Earth. (High Frontier thinkers tend to be skeptical of the economics of bringing space resources down to Earth, but let's let him have this point.) Before final delivery, these cargoes will need to be stored. This will happen in vast warehouses on the moon.

I wasn't even the first on the forum to ask him, "Why spend all the money needed to descend and then ascend the lunar gravity well when instead we could just skip the moon and house all this material in HEO?"

We couldn't do this, he explained, because unloading this muchfeel committed to.

The problem with unspoken assumptions is that they remain unquestioned assumptions. We must train ourselves to think outside the planetary box when considering the best locations for all of our future activities beyond our current terrestrial home.

## Lunar Solar Power Stations vs. the O'Neill Proposal

In May of 2006, Dr. David Criswell became aware of this article and contacted me to resume our debate about the relative merits of Lunar Solar Power (LSP) stations vs. lunar-resources-derived GEO SPS.

Dr. Criswell said that all of his comparisons were toward the GD-Convair study, which included SPS where 90% of the construction materials were lunar-derived (SSI later calculated this number could be boosted to 99% for SPS designs optimized for use of lunar materials). I'm sure my previous


the atmosphere". But an entire sky alit with the blazes of entering debris would touch off surface fires of incomprehensible scale.

So are there any better methods for changing the course of an asteroid; something which can apply low but steady thrust for weeks or months rather than a sudden shock?

In the 1970's Princeton physicist Gerard O'Neill was working out a method for establishing settlements beyond the Earth which were not dependent on the conditions we find on the surfaces of other planets or moons. In both scientific papers and "The High Frontier" he advocated the construction of enormous, orbiting structures which rotated for artificial gravity and would contain within them Earthlike environments in closed ecologies. The unceasing power of the sun would be used to drive those ecologiesMan dies following argument outside his home

POLICE are appealing for witnesses to come forward after a 64-year-old man died following an incident outside his home in Whitworth.

Police and Paramedics were called to Market Street following reports of an argument outside a property around 10 p.m. on Sunday.

Patrick Gallagher was found collapsed inside his home following the incident and was taken to Fairfield Hospital but died in the early hours of this morning. A post-mortem examination is expected to be carried out tomorrow to establish the cause of death.

Detectives investigating the circumstances of the incident have arrested four men aged 64, 59, 46 and 46, and a 46-year old-woman in connection with the incident. All have been bailed pending further inquires.

Det. Chief Insp. Mark Gray from the force major


was clearly a tactical decision. Several of the doctors indicated that Bryan had no memory of the circumstances surrounding the murder. Bryan, during the guilt phase of the trial and in contravention of the doctors' testimonies, testified in detail about the circumstances surrounding the murder. There was a clear danger that if the doctors were put on the witness stand they would discredit his veracity. Furthermore, of the three doctors who testified at the post-conviction hearing, Dr. Gentner did not believe Bryan met the criteria for either of the statutory mitigators and the other two doctors felt that only one mitigator existed. Each of the medical reports clearly indicated the existence of mental abnormalities, so Stokes was able to persuasively argue both statutory mental mitigators from these reports.secure the defendant.

University of California, Davis, Selected as Institutional Partner for Imagining America

By Imagining America | June 20, 2016

7 June 2016 – Imagining America: Artists and Scholars in Public Life, a civic-engagement consortium of more than 100 academic institutions and cultural organizations, will move its national headquarters from Syracuse University to UC Davis in the summer of 2017. The university will serve as Imagining America’s hosting partner for a renewable, five-year term.

“Our board unanimously endorsed this partnership,” said Bruce Burgett, chair of IA’s national board and dean, School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences, University of Washington Bothell. “We were extremely impressed by the breadth of community engagement and public scholarship at UC Davis, and by its deep commitment to equity and inclusion. We share these


values of equity and inclusion, and we are excited to begin the next chapter of IA’s work with this partnership.”

IA is dedicated to strengthening the arts, humanities and design in higher education with approaches that foster community partnerships, public scholarship and social equity. Launched in 1999 at a White House conference on the democratic role of arts and humanities, IA was first based at University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, before moving to Syracuse University in 2007. Public: A Journal of Imagining America was launched in 2013 as an online, open-access journal for public work in the cultural disciplines.

“We are delighted to be the next home of Imagining America, which has successfully acted as a bridge between scholars and community members interested in the arts, humanities and design,” saidIA comes to campus.”

UC Davis’ public-service mission as a land-grant institution, as well as its strength in research and undergraduate education, helped cement the partnership with IA. The university’s interdisciplinary faculty strive to work across fields to facilitate new insights and approaches

to understanding the world and serving its region and state. Its student body has continually become more inclusive, with the most diverse class of students welcomed in fall 2015.

“UC Davis has a reputation as an education and research powerhouse in Northern California,” said Scott Peters, a Cornell University land-grant historian and IA faculty co- director. “During the IA team’s site visit, we were floored by the range and energy of democratic work being done at UC Davis. From administrative leaders to regional partners to engaged scholars to


Let Dunfermline legend Derek switch on Christmas lights 2017

I was inspired to start this petition due to a post I read on Visit Dunfermline's page on Facebook. Derek is a local man living with learning difficulties. However this has not stopped him living as full a life as possible. Over many years Derek has walked or cycled the streets of Dunfermline lighting up the lives of not only those he meets, but also of the businesses he visits on a regular basis, with the aim of just making sure that they are 'alright'. It's about time that we, the people of Dunfermline and Fife Council lit up Dereks life by allowing him to fulfill his lifelong dream of turning on the Dunfermline Christmas lights 2017. After all thehead back to the hotel for a few hours. About halfway to the hotel, the "mommy anxiety" kicked in....I just left my son for four hours with someone we just met yesterday! Of course I did remind myself at this point that she was a referred source and Robby was sure to calm my fabricated fears. Our plan was to return at 1:00p to pick him up. He would work with her better on his own than being able to fall back on us. Plus, he had already been working with her for one day, so she was now a "friend" to him.

EVALUATION RESULTS
We returned at 1:00p and received a frown and turned back as our welcome. He was not the happiest that we had left him all


day, but that didn't last too long and was quickly telling us about his one tantrum of the day (which was solved by some food in the stomach). In talking to his practitioner, she assured us that he did great, but was very tired. Her main focus of the day was his eyes and working with the eyes can really wear you out. His tracking was poor and practically non-existent. By the end of the day it had greatly improved.
Tomorrow, her plan is to finish! She will be finishing up her work with his eyes, focusing on his speech, and touching on a few advanced elements to help him with his reading skills. We will drop him off for a couple of hours and return to have lunchfor a democratically elected lawmaker.

In a tweet, Wilders called the verdict "madness" and said he had been convicted by three judges who hated his Party for Freedom.

The verdict comes just over three months before national elections. Wilders' party is currently narrowly leading a nationwide poll of polls and has risen in popularity during the trial.


Gâteau Alexandra – like her husband Edward VII, Alexandra of Denmark (1844–1925) was honored by an assortment of foods named after her when she was Princess of Wales and Queen. Besides this chocolate cake, there is consommé Alexandra, soup, sole, chicken quail, and various meat dishes.

Amundsen's Dessert – Roald Amundsen (1872–1928), the great Norwegian polar explorer, was served this dish by Norwegian-American friends in Wisconsin not long before he died in an Arctic plane crash.

Pommes Anna – the casserole of sliced potatoes cooked in butter was created and named by French chef Adolf Dugléré for the well-known 19th-century courtesan/actress Anna Deslions, who frequented Dugléré's Café Anglais. "Potatoes Annette" is a version of Potatoes Anna, with the potatoes julienned instead of in rounds.

Ham mousseline à la Belmont – AugustBelmont (1816–1890) was born in Prussia and emigrated to the U.S. to work for the New York branch of Rothschild's. He became an extremely wealthy banker, married the daughter of Commodore Matthew Perry, and was a leading figure in New York society and American horse racing. This dish was created at Delmonico's by Charles Ranhofer, probably for a dinner given there in Belmont's honor.

Eggs Benedict – at least two main accounts. Lemuel Benedict, a New York stockbroker, claimed to have gone to the Waldorf Hotel for breakfast one day in 1894 while suffering a hangover. He asked for a restorative in the form of toast, bacon, poached eggs, and Hollandaise sauce on the side. The famous maître d' Oscar of the Waldorf took an interest in Benedict's order,


and adapted it for the Waldorf menu, substituting English muffins and ham, adding truffles, and naming it after Benedict. The other version: in 1893, Charles Ranhofer, head chef of Delmonico's, created the dish for Mr. and/or Mrs. LeGrand Benedict, New York stockbroker and socialite.

Eggs Berlioz – Hector Berlioz (1803–1869), the notable French composer, has his name on a dish of soft-boiled eggs, elevated by the addition of croustades, duchesse potatoes, and truffles and mushrooms in a Madeira sauce.

Sarah Bernhardt Cakes – famous French actress Sarah Bernhardt (1844–1923). The pastry may be Danish in origin. There is a Sole Sarah Bernhardt, and a soufflé. "Sarah Bernhardt" may indicate a dish garnished with a purée of foie gras, and Delmonico's "Sarah Potatoes," by Charles Ranhofer, are most likely named forthe actress.

Lobster Paul Bert – Paul Bert (1833–1886) was a French physiologist, diplomat, and politician, but is perhaps best known for his research on the effect of air pressure on the body. Charles Ranhofer was either a friend or fan of the father of aerospace medicine.

Eggs in a Mold Bizet – Georges Bizet (1838–1875), the French composer of Carmen and other operas, has a consommé named for him as well as these eggs cooked in molds lined with minced pickled tongue, served on artichoke hearts.

Angelina Burdett plum – this plum, bred by a Mr. Dowling of Southampton, England around 1850, was named after Baroness Angelina Burdett-Coutts (1814–1906), a notable philanthropist. The Baroness inherited great wealth from her grandfather, banker Thomas Coutts, and devoted much of it to helping


the needy at home and abroad.

Chateaubriand – a cut and a recipe for steak named for Vicomte François René de Chateaubriand (1768–1848), French writer and diplomat. His chef Montinireil is thought to have created the dish around 1822 while Chateaubriand was ambassador to England. There is also a kidney dish named for him.

Clementines – named for Père Clément Rodier, a French monk living in North Africa at the beginning of the 20th century. Allegedly, he either found a natural mutation of the mandarin orange which he grew, or he created a hybrid of the mandarin and the Seville oranges. The fruit, however, may have originated long before in Asia.

Peach pudding à la Cleveland – Grover Cleveland (1837–1908), 22nd and 24th U.S. president, was given this dish by CharlesRanhofer, who may have felt presidents deserved desserts named after them as much as Escoffier's ladies, even if Cleveland was reputed to not much like French food.

D

Dartois – François-Victor-Armand Dartois (1780–1867), once very well-known author of French vaudeville plays, is commemorated by this pastry, made in several versions both sweet and savory.

Shrimp de Jonghe – shrimp and garlic casserole created at de Jonghe's Hotel, an early-20th-century restaurant in Chicago, owned by brothers from Belgium.

Delmonico steak – named for the Delmonico brothers' restaurant Delmonico's, at one time considered the finest restaurant in the United States. Delmonico steak and Lobster à la Delmonico are among the many named for the restaurant and/or its owners. The restaurant's most famous chef Charles Ranhofer (1836–1899) named many dishes after historic figures, celebrities of


the day, and favored customers.

Chicken Demidoff – Prince Anatole Demidoff (1813–1870), from a wealthy Russian industrialist family, lived in Paris from an early age with his mother, Elisabeth Stroganova. Both were extreme admirers of Napoleon, to the point where Demidoff had a brief marriage to Princess Mathilde, niece of Napoleon, and he also bought the Elba house of exile to turn into a museum. He was famous as a patron of artists, and a bon vivant. There are two chicken dishes named after him. This one is elaboratedly stuffed, smothered, tied up and garnished. The Demidoff name is also applied to dishes of rissoles and red snapper.

Sole Dugléré – Adolf Dugléré (1805–1884), starting as a student of Antonin Carême, became head chef at the famed Café Anglais inParis in 1866, where he created and named many well-known dishes. Several dishes of fish bear his own name.

Duxelles – a mushroom-based sauce or garnish attributed to the great 17th-century French chef François-Pierre de la Varenne (1615–1678) was probably named for his employer, the Marquis d'Uxelles. A variety of dishes use this name.

G

Poires Mary Garden – Mary Garden (1874–1967) was a hugely popular opera singer in Europe and the U.S. at the turn of the century. Born in Scotland, she emigrated to the U.S. as a child, then came to Paris in 1897 to complete her training. After her 1900 debut at the Opéra-Comique, she was much sought-after by composers for starring roles in their operas. Escoffier made this dish in her honor, and is said to have


told a friend once that all his best dishes had been created "for the ladies". (see Melba, Rachel, Réjane, et al. below)

Garibaldi biscuits – English biscuits named for Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807–1882), Italian patriot and leader of the drive to unite Italy, after his wildly popular visit to England in 1864. There is also a French demi-glâce sauce with mustard and anchovies, and a consommé named after him.

Baron de bœuf à la St. George – a dinner in honor of British guests was probably being held at Delmonico's when Ranhofer named this dish. Saint George, a Roman soldier, was martyred c. 304, and was adopted as England's patron saint in the 13th century. The dinner finished with "Plum Pudding à la St. George."

Hass avocado – in the 1920s, Californiapostal worker Rudolph Hass set out to grow a number of Lyon avocado trees in his backyard. One of the seedlings he bought was a chance variant which produced fruit, his children apparently noticed as unique. Hass patented the variety in 1935, and it now makes up about 75% of U.S. avocado production.

Heath bar – the American "English toffee" bar is named for brothers Bayard and Everett Heath, Illinois confectioners who developed it in the 1920s and eventually turned the local favorite into a nationally popular candy bar.

Oh Henry! – the candy bar introduced by the Williamson Candy Company in Chicago, 1920, was named for a young man who frequented the company store and was often commandeered to do odd jobs with that call.

Schnitzel à la Holstein –


Baron Friedrich von Holstein (1837–1909), primary German diplomat after Otto von Bismarck, serving Kaiser Wilhelm II. The gourmet Holstein liked to have a variety of foods on one plate, and the original dish consisted of a veal cutlet topped by a fried egg, anchovies, capers, and parsley, and surrounded by small piles of caviar, crawfish tails, smoked salmon, mushrooms, and truffles. Contemporary versions tend to be pared down to the cutlet, egg, anchovies and capers.

Gâteau Saint-Honoré – pastry named for the French patron saint of bakers, confectioners, and pastry chefs, Saint Honoré or Honorius (d. 653), Bishop of Amiens. The pastry chef Chiboust is thought to have invented it in his Paris shop in 1846.

Hubbard squash – Elizabeth Hubbard, who talked up the qualities of the heretofore unnamedsquash in Marblehead, Massachusetts, in 1842–1843.

Omelette St. Hubert – the patron saint of hunters, St. Hubert of Liège (656–727), the son of Bertrand, Duke of Aquitane, has several dishes involving game named after him: this omelette with a game purée, tournedos of venison, a consommé, timbales of game meat and truffles, et al. The first bishop of Liège is said to have converted after seeing a stag with a cross in its antlers while he was hunting on a Good Friday.

J

Coquilles St. Jacques – the French term for scallops, and the Anglo-American term for the popular scallop dish with butter and garlic, owe their name to St. James the Great (d. 44 a.d.), fisherman and first martyred apostle. His major shrine in Santiago de Compostela, Spain, drew pilgrims


in quantity from all over Europe. The scallop's shell became an emblem of the pilgrimage as it was used as a water cup along the way, and sewn to the pilgrims' clothes like a badge. The scallop became an emblem of St. James, himself, although the timing is unclear. In Spanish, the scallop has "pilgrims" as part of its name, rather than Santiago.

Apricots with rice à la Jefferson – Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826), third U.S. president, is honored appropriately with this Ranhofer dessert and with Jefferson rice, a recently developed strain of Texas rice. Jefferson was very interested in improving American rice culture, to which end he illegally smuggled Piedmont rice out of Italy. During his term as U.S. minister to France, Jefferson found the French preferred the qualitiesof Italian rice to Carolina rice. On a trip to see Rome, Jefferson stopped in Turin to collect a cache of seeds, and never reached Rome. The rice did reach the U.S.

John Dory – the English name for a saltwater fish known elsewhere in Europe as Saint Peter's (San Pietro, Saint-Pierre, San Pedro) fish is said to be a reference to Saint Peter's role as "janitor" or doorkeeper at the gates of heaven. Legends claim that spots on the fish are either the fisherman apostle's fingerprints, or a reminder of the coin he found in the fish's mouth—a story from the Gospel of Luke.

Chicken à la King – William King of Philadelphia has been credited in 1915 (upon his death) as the inventor of this dish. One theory


(without historical evidence) claims that the dish may have been first named "Chicken à la Keene" after James R. Keene, a London-born American staying at London's Claridge Hotel in 1881 just after his horse had won a major race in Paris. Other stories make claims for an American origin: Delmonico's chef Charles Ranhofer creating the dish for Foxhall P. Keene, James R. 's son, in the early 1890s, or chef George Greenwald making it for Mr. and Mrs. E. Clark King (II or II) at the Brighton Beach Hotel in New York, about 1898. No royalty is involved in any of the stories.

Dartois Laguipière – Laguipière (c. 1750–1812) an influential French chef and mentor of Antonin Câreme, worked for the noted Condé family, Napoleon, and finally Marshall Murat,whom he accompanied on Napoleon's invasion of Russia. He died on the retreat from Moscow. This double-eponym savory pastry, filled with sweetbreads and truffles (see Dartois above), is one of many dishes with his name, either his own recipes or those of other chefs commemorating him, including consommé, various sauces, beef tournedos and fish.

Sirloin of beef à la de Lesseps – Ferdinand de Lesseps (1805–1894), French builder of the Suez Canal and first to try to build the Panama Canal, was honored with a dinner at Delmonico's in 1880. A banana dessert at the dinner was afterward termed "à la Panama." Ranhofer named this beef dish after de Lesseps, probably well before de Lesseps' 1889 bankruptcy scandal.

Biff à la Lindström – this Swedish beef dish is thought to


be named the man who brought it from Russia to Sweden. Henrik Lindström is said to have been born in St. Petersburg, Russia. Swedish food lore has it that the army officer brought the recipe to the Hotel Witt in Kalmar, Sweden, ca. 1862. The beets and capers included may indicate Russian origin or influence.

Lindycandy bar – Charles Lindbergh (1902–1974), the pioneering aviator who was first to fly solo, non-stop, across the Atlantic, had at least two American candy bars named after him; another – the "Winning Lindy."

Macaroni Lucullus – Lucullus (c. 106–56 BC), full name Lucius Licinius Lucullus Ponticus, was perhaps the earliest recorded gastronome in the Western world, and he may also be its most famous. After a long spell of wars, the Roman general retiredto a life of indulgence and opulence, most evident in his gardens and his cuisine. His name has become associated with numerous dishes of the over-the-top sort, using haute cuisine's favorite luxury staples—truffles, foie gras, asparagus tips, artichoke hearts, sweetbreads, cockscombs, wild game meats, Madeira, and so on. Macaroni Lucullus incorporates truffles and foie gras.

Lussekatter, St. Lucia buns – Swedish saffron buns named for Saint Lucia of Syracuse (283–304), whose name day, December 13, was once considered the longest night of the year. As Lucia means light, the saint was incorporated into the celebration when these buns are traditionally eaten. The Swedish term, Lucia's cats, refers to the bun's curled shape.

M

Margarita – there are many claims for the name of this tequila/lime/orange liqueur cocktail. Dallas socialite Margarita Samas


said she invented it in 1948 for one of her Acapulco parties. Enrique Bastate Gutierrez claimed he invented it in Tijuana in the 1940s for Rita Hayworth. Hayworth's real name was Margarita Cansino, and another story connects the drink to her during an earlier time when she was dancing in Tijuana nightclubs under that name. Carlos Herrera said he created and named the cocktail in his Tijuana restaurant in 1938–1939 for Marjorie King. Ms. King was reportedly allergic to all alcohol except tequila, and had asked for something besides a straight shot. Around this same general time period, Nevada bartender Red Hinton said he'd named the cocktail after his girlfriend Margarita Mendez. Other stories exist.

Pizza Margherita – Queen Margherita of Savoy (1851–1926) was presented with this pizza inthe colors of the Italian flag on a trip to Naples, c. 1889. Many people claimed to have created it.

Sole Marguery – Nicholas Marguery (1834–1910), famed French chef, created and named this dish, along with others, for himself and his restaurant Marguery in Paris.

Massillon – the small almond pastry is named for noted French bishop and preacher Jean-Baptiste Massillon (1663–1742), a temporary favorite of Louis XIV. The pastry originated in the town of Hyères, where Massillon was born.

Melba toast – Dame Nellie Melba (1859–1931), famous Australian soprano, née Mitchell, took her stage name from her hometown of Melbourne. In 1892–1893, she was living at the Savoy Hotel in London, which was then managed by César Ritz and Auguste Escoffier. During an illness, the singer favored some extremely dry


toast which was subsequently named for her. Around this same time, Escoffier created the dessert Peach Melba in her honor. There is also a Melba garnish (raspberry sauce) that is an ingredient of Peach Melba.

Chaudfroid of chicken Clara Morris – Clara Morris (1848–1925) was a popular 19th-century American actress, specializing in the period's emotional dramas. She became something of an overnight success when she debuted in New York in 1870, after growing up and working in Ohio ballet and theater. She had an active career until taste in drama changed in the 1890s and she turned to writing. Ranhofer named this dish for her.

Mozartkugel – Salzburg, the birthplace of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756–1791), is also the place where this marzipan/nougat-filled chocolate was created c. 1890. Also inthe composer's honor, Ranhofer created "Galantine of pullet à la Mozart" at Delmonico's.

N

Napoleon, an alternate name for mille-feuille, was probably not named for the Emperor, but for the city of Naples.

Bigarreau Napoleon cherry – unlike the pastry, the French cherry was most likely named after Napoleon Bonaparte, his son Napoleon II, or his nephew Napoleon III. The sweet, white-fleshed (bigarreau) cherry often used in maraschino cherry production fell into the hands of Oregon's Seth Luelling of Bing cherry fame (the Napoleon is a forebear of the Bing), and he renamed it the Royal Anne. Subsequently the cherry also became known as Queen Anne cherry in North America.

Nesselrode Pudding – Russian diplomat Count Karl Robert von Nesselrode (1780–1862) had several dishes named for him, usually containing chestnuts, like this


iced dessert. A contemporary product used for Nesselrode Pie, Nesselro, uses cauliflower to replace part of the chestnuts.

Lobster Newberg – variously spelled Newburg and Newburgh, and now applied to other seafood besides lobster, this dish is usually attributed to a Captain Ben Wenberg, who brought the recipe he had supposedly found in his travels to Delmonico's in the late 19th century. The chef, Charles Ranhofer, reproduced the dish for him and put it on the restaurant menu as Lobster Wenberg. Allegedly, the two men had a falling-out, Ranhofer took the dish off the menu, and returned it, renamed, only at other customers' insistence.

Marshal Ney – the elaborate Ranhofer dessert—molded tiers of meringue shells, vanilla custard, and marzipan—is named after Napoleon's marshal Michel Ney (1769–1815), who led the retreatfrom Moscow and was a commander at Waterloo.

Œufs sur le plat Omer Pasha – the Hungarian-Croatian Mihailo Latas known as Omer Pasha Latas (1806–1871), commander-in-chief of Turkish forces allied with the French and English during the Crimean War had this sort of Hungarian/Turkish dish of eggs named for him. In the U.S., Ranhofer made a dish of hashed mutton Omer Pasha, as well as eggs on a dish.

Potatoes Parmentier – Antoine-Augustin Parmentier (1737–1817), chief proponent in reversing the French public view about the once-despised potato. Parmentier discovered the food value of the vegetable while a prisoner of war in Germany, where the potato had already been accepted.

Pastilles – Giovanni Pastilla, Italian confectioner to Marie de Medici, is said to have accompanied her to Paris on her marriage to


Henri IV, and created some form of the tablets named after him there.

Poularde Adelina Patti – probably not the only dish named for 19th-century singing superstar Adelina Patti. Adela Juana Maria Patti (1843–1919), born in Spain of Italian parents, grew up in New York City, singing on stage at 7 and debuting at the opera at 16. Patti quickly went on to become a sensation in Europe, and was eventually world-famous.

Pavlova – Anna Pavlova(1881–1931), famous Russian ballerina. Both Australia and New Zealand have claimed to be the source of the meringue ("light as Pavlova") and fruit dessert.

Galantine of pheasants Casimir-Perier – Casimir-Perier (1847–1907) was a French politician working under Sadi-Carnot, who briefly took office after Carnot was assassinated. Casimir-Perier was president for six months, until he resigned in1895 under attacks from the leftist opposition party. Charles Ranhofer named this dish and one of palmettes after him.

Dom Pérignon (wine) – Dom Pérignon (1638–1715), (Pierre) a blind French Benedictine monk, expert winemaker and developer of the first true champagne in the late 17th century.

Sole Picasso - this fruity fish was named after Pablo Picasso. The dish consists of fried or grilled sole and warm fruit in a ginger-lemon sauce.

Veal cutlets Pojarski – Pojarski is said to have been a cook/innkeeper favored by tzar Nicholas I because of his version of minced veal or beef cutlets. Sometimes called meat balls Pojarski, the originals were reformed on veal chop bones for presentation.

Sole Marco Polo – the great explorer and traveler Marco Polo (1254–1324) has this dish of sole with


lobster and, somewhat oddly, tomato, named after him.

Rissoles Pompadour – the Marquise de Pompadour, Jeanne Poisson (1721–1764), official paramour of Louis XV from 1745 until her death, has had many dishes named after her besides these savory fried pastries. Mme. Pompadour's interest in cooking is remembered with lamb, sole, chicken, beef, pheasant, garnishes, croquettes, cakes and desserts, created by a number of chefs during and after her life.

R

Tournedos Rachel – from singing in the streets of Paris as a child, Swiss-born Elisa-Rachel Félix (1821–1858) went on to become known as the greatest French tragedienne of her day. Her stage name Rachel is used for a number of dishes—consommé, eggs, sweetbreads, et al.—many created by Escoffier. In New York City, Charles Ranhofer created "artichokes à la Rachel" in herhonor.

Ramos Gin Fizz – Henry C. Ramos, New Orleans bartender, created this famous cocktail c. 1888, at either Meyer's Restaurant or the Imperial Cabinet Saloon, and named it after himself.

Salad Réjane – Gabrielle Réjane was the stage name for Gabrielle-Charlotte Reju (1856–1920), a famous French actress at the turn of the century. Escoffier named several dishes for her, including consommé, sole, and œufs à la neige.

Rigó Jancsi – the Viennese chocolate and cream pastry is named after the famous Gypsy violinist, Rigó Jancsi (by Hungarian use, Rigó is his last name, Jancsi his first). He is perhaps best known for his part in one of the great late-19th-century scandales. In 1896, Clara Ward, Princesse de Caraman-Chimay. The Princesse de Chimay saw Rigó playing in a Paris restaurant in


1896 while dining with her husband. She ran off with Rigó, married him, divorced him, and later married two other men.

Strawberries Romanoff – although there are a number of claimants for the creation of this dish, including the Hollywood restaurateur self-styled "Prince Michael Romanoff", credit is most often given to Marie-Antoine Carême, when he was chef to tzar Alexander I around 1820. Romanoff was the house name of the Russian rulers.

Tournedos Rossini – Gioacchino Rossini (1792–1868), famous Italian composer known almost as well as a gastronome. A friend of Câreme, Prince Metternich, et al., Rossini had many dishes named for him: eggs, chicken, soup, salad, cannelloni, sole, risotto, pheasant, and more. Escoffier was responsible for many of these. Charles Ranhofer created "Meringued pancakes à la Rossini."

Runeberg-pastry (Runebergintorttu /Runebergstårta) – named after the Finnish poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804–1877). The 5th of February is in Finland Runeberg-day and it is celebrated with this almond-pastry that is said to have been invented by Johan Ludvig's wife Fredrika. There is also a variation of this called the Fredrika-pastry.

Baby Ruth candy bar – most likely, Babe Ruth (1895–1948) was the inspiration for the name. Although the Curtiss Candy Co. has insisted from the beginning that the candy bar was named after a daughter of Grover Cleveland, Ruth Cleveland died in 1904 at the age of 12, while the Baby Ruth was introduced in 1921 right at a time when George Herman Ruth, Jr. had become a baseball superstar. It is interesting to note that very early versions of the


wrapper offer a baseball glove for 79 cents. Babe Ruth's announced intent to sue the company is probably what drove and perpetuated the dubious cover story.

Salisbury steak – Dr. James H. Salisbury (1823–1905), early U.S. health food advocate, created this dish and advised his patients to eat it three times a day, while limiting their intake of "poisonous" vegetables and starches.

Chicken sauté George Sand – George Sand, the pseudonym of French author Amandine-Aurore-Lucile Dupin, Baronne Dudevant (1804–1876), a major figure in mid-19th-century Parisian salons, had several dishes named for her, including fish consommé and sole.

Sandwich – John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich (1718–1792) did not invent the sandwich. Meat between slices of bread had been eaten long before him. But as the often-repeated story goes, his title namewas applied to it c. 1762, after he frequently called for the easily-handled food while entertaining friends. Their card games then were not interrupted by the need for forks and such.

Schillerlocken – two quite distinct foods named after the curly hair of the German poet Friedrich von Schiller (1759–1805). One is cream-filled puff pastry cornets; the other is long strips of dried, smoked shark meat. Ranhofer named a dessert of pancakes rolled up, sliced, and layered in a mold Schiller pudding.

Seckel pear – although little is known about the origin of this American pear, it is generally believed that a Pennsylvania farmer named Seckel discovered the fruit in the Delaware River Valley near Philadelphia, in the 18th or early 19th century.

Woodcock salmis Agnès Sorel – one of the


dishes Agnès Sorel (1422–1450) is reputed to have created herself; she was the first mistress of a French king (Charles VII) to be recognized officially. A garnish, soup, timbales, and tartlets all bear her name, as later chefs remembered her for her interest in food. She died of acute mercury poisoning.

Big Hearted Alcandy bar – early-20th-century presidential candidate Al Smith (1873–1944) had this candy bar named after him by a candy-company owning admirer.

Soubise sauce – the onion purée or béchamel sauce with added onion purée is probably named after the 18th-century aristocrat Charles de Rohan, Prince de Soubise, and Marshall of France.

Eggs Stanley – Sir Henry Morton Stanley (1841–1904), the famed British explorer, has several dishes named for him, usually with onions and a small amount of curryseasoning. A recipe for these poached eggs has a sauce with 1/2 teaspoon of curry powder.

Crepes Suzette – said to have been created for then-Prince of Wales Edward VII on 31 January, 1896, at the Café de Paris in Monte Carlo. When the prince ordered a special dessert for himself and a young female companion, Henri Charpentier, then 16 (1880–1961), produced the flaming crepe dish. Edward reportedly asked that the dessert be named after his companion (Suzette) rather than himself. However, Larousse disputes Charpentier's claim.

T

Talleyrand – a pineapple savarin is one of many dishes named for the epicurean French statesman Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord (1754–1838). An influential negotiator at the Congress of Vienna, Talleyrand considered dining a major part of diplomacy. Antonin Câreme worked for him for a


time, and Talleyrand was instrumental in furthering his career. The famous host's eponymous dishes include sauces, tournedos, veal, croquettes, orange fritters, et al.

Tarte Tatin – Stephine Tatin (1838–1917) and Caroline Tatin (1847–1911). In French, the tarte is known as à la Demoiselles Tatin for the sisters who ran the Hotel Tatin in Lamotte Beuvron, France. Stephine allegedly invented the upside-down tart accidentally in the fall of 1898, but the pastry may be much older.

Shirley Temple – the classic children's cocktail of club soda, grenadine, and a maraschino cherry was invented in the late 1930s at Hollywood's Chasen's restaurant for the child star Shirley Temple (1928—). A slice of orange and a straw is suggested; the paper parasol is optional.

Biscuit Tortoni – the Italian Tortoni, working at the CaféVelloni which had opened in Paris in 1798, bought the place and renamed it the Café Tortoni. It became a very successful restaurant and ice cream parlor in the 19th century. This ice cream dish is said to be one of his creations.

V

Purée of wild ducks van Buren – Martin van Buren (1782–1862), 8th president of the United States, developed a taste for French cuisine while a minister in London, where he became acquainted with Talleyrand's dining philosophy. During his presidency, White House dinners were even more French than in Jefferson's day. Ranhofer may have been returning the compliment with this soup.

Sole Jules Verne – Jules Verne (1828–1905), the famous French novelist, had several dishes named after him besides this, including a sauce, a garnish, grenades of turkey,


breasts of partridge, and meat dishes.

Fillets of Brill Véron – Dr. Louis Désiré Véron (1798–1867) gave up his Parisian medical practice for the more fashionable life as a writer, manager of the Opera, paramour of the actress Rachel, political influence, and pre-eminent host of lavish dinners for the elite. Véron sauce accompanies the brill.

W

Wallenberg Steak - a Scandinavian dish of minced veal named after the prominent and wealthy Swedish Wallenberg family. Contemporary versions have lapsed into turkey and moose meat.

Pears Wanamaker – of the Philadelphia merchant Wanamaker family, Rodman Wanamaker (1863–1928) seems most likely to be the inspiration for this dish. The son of John Wanamaker, founder of the family business, Rodman Wanamaker went to Paris in 1889 to oversee the Paris branch of their department store. Whenhe returned to the U.S. in 1899, he kept his Paris home and contacts.

Beef hash Sam Ward – Sam Ward (1814–1884) was perhaps the most influential Washington lobbyist of the mid-19th century. He was as well-known for his entertaining as his political work, apparently agreeing with Talleyrand that dining well was essential to diplomacy. Why Ranhofer named a beef hash after him is open to speculation.

Chicken Raphael Weill – Raphael Weill (1837–1920) arrived in San Francisco from France at the age of 18. Within a few years he had founded what was to be one of California's largest department stores. Later he helped found the well-known Bohemian Club, which still exists. He liked to cook, and is remembered in San Francisco restaurants with this dish.

Beef Wellington – Arthur


Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington (1769–1852), British hero of the Battle of Waterloo, has this dish of beef with pâté, mushrooms, truffles and Madeira sauce, all encased in a pastry crust, named after him. It was probably created by his personal chef. Stories vary; either the Duke had no sense of taste and didn't care what he was eating (leaving his chef to his own devices, or loved this so much it had to be served at every formal dinner, or the shape of the concoction resembles the famous Wellington boot).

Prince William Cider Apple - Created to celebrate the 21st birthday of Prince William of Wales. It was named the "Prince William" after he said in an interview that he was a cider drinker. Large, robust yet mildin nature with a red flush and will make a cider of fair complexion, well balanced with lots of character. The "Prince William" will be the first of more than 360 varieties of traditional English cider apples grown over the centuries to be given a royal name.

Potage à la Xavier – this cream soup with chicken has at least two stories associated with its name. Some sources say that the gourmand Louis XVIII (1755–1824) invented the soup when he was Comte de Provence, and known as Louis Stanislas Xavier de France. Others suggest the soup was named after Francis Xavier (1506–1552), a Basque missionary to Goa and India. The gout-suffering associate of Talleyrand would seem a more likely candidate than a 16th-century Christian missionary.


 And the words "proper cause" of the CBA cannot be the loophole through which the arbitrator bypasses the Drug Policy's mandatory language to implement his own brand of industrial justice.   In reinstating Watson, the arbitrator illegally created an exception to the strict application of the Drug Policy's mandatory termination.   By fashioning an entire new remedy and infusing his personal feelings and sense of fairness into the award, the arbitrator created an award that failed to draw its essence from the CBA, which clearly reserved to Mountaineer the right to promulgate and enforce such drug policies.

'Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' Author Robert M. Pirsig Dies At 88

Enlarge this image toggle caption William Morrow/HarperCollins William Morrow/HarperCollins

Robert M. Pirsig, who inspired generations to road trip across America with his "novelistic autobigraphy," Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, died Monday at the age of 88.

His publisher William Morrow & Company said in a statement that Pirsig died at his home in South Berwick, Maine, "after a period of failing health."

Pirsig wrote just two books: Zen (subtitled "An Inquiry Into Values") and Lila: An Inquiry into Morals.

Enlarge this image toggle caption William Morrow/HarperCollins William Morrow/HarperCollins

Zen was published in 1974, after being rejected by 121 publishing houses. "The book is brilliant beyond belief," wrote Morrow editor James Landis before publication. "It is probably a workof genius and will, I'll wager, attain classic status."

Indeed, the book quickly became a best-seller, and has proved enduring as a work of popular philosophy. A 1968 motorcycle trip across the West with his son Christopher was his inspiration.

Christopher Lehmann-Haupt reviewed Zen for The New York Times in 1974. "[H]owever impressive are the seductive powers with which Mr. Pirsig engages us in his motorcycle trip, they are nothing compared to the skill with which he interests us in his philosophic trip," he wrote. "Mr. Pirsig may sometimes appear to be a greener‐America proselytizer, with his beard and his motorcycle tripping and his talk about learning to love technology. But when he comes to grips with the hard philosophical conundrums raised by the 1960's, he can be electrifying."

Pirsig was


born in Minneapolis, the son of a University of Minnesota law professor. He graduated from high school at 15 and enlisted in the Army after World War II. While stationed in South Korea, he encountered the Asian philosophies that would underpin his work. He went on to study Hindu philosophy in India and for a time was enrolled in a philosophy Ph.D. program at the University of Chicago. He was hospitalized for mental illness and returned to Minneapolis, where he worked as a technical writer and began writing his first book.

Pirsig also helped found the Minnesota Zen Meditation Center, then lived reclusively and worked on Lila for 17 years before its publication in 1991.

The last big man to have gold around his waist in Bellator was Russian fighter Vitaly Minakov. It was back in April 2014 that Minakov authored his only successful title defense against Cheick Kongo at Bellator 115 in Reno, Nev., before leaving to continue his career in his home country. That was the last time Minakov would compete in North America, and Coker made the call to strip Minakov of the belt in May 2016 — though as of this past February, Minakov was reportedly still under contract with Bellator.

About 9 P.M., Brabham walked into the Naples Cafe and, after making threats to Janette with regard to the money, he was put out of the cafe. A few minutes later, he returned, walked to the rear of the cafe where Janette was seated at a table, pulled out a .22-caliber revolver, and shot her through the neck.

In this statement, the witness *495 had made no mention of a knife, but at the trial he testified that immediately after the shooting he saw a butcher knife on the floor beside the victim, with the handle lying across her hand. Evidently the testimony with respect to the knife was developed in connection with the defense of self-defense, although none of the other eyewitnesses testified to seeing a knife. At the conclusion of this witness's statement to the police, he was asked whether there was anything he could add, but he replied that he could think of nothing.John Norris Expands its Range of Country Attire and Shooting Accessories

Charlie Chaplin
Most people know him as The Tramp — the iconic character with the funny mustach, top hat and cane. And it’s a phenominal character, but he also wrote and directed his best films, like The Kid, City Lights, and The Gold Rush. He had 72 films directed, won a lifetime achievement award from the Academy, best actor, and even one for best original score. He knew how to make great films, and was a notorious perfectionist.

Fritz Lang
If you don’t know him, the directors you love certainly do. Lang is one of the most influential directors, and is considered the


father of film noir. He never won an Academy Award — most likely because he was born in Germany, and even though he moved to America because of his strong distaste for nazis, was still looked at as a “German filmmaker.” His movies, like M, Metropolis, and Fury are classics still shown in film schools around the world to this day. They are iconic, timeless, and resonate with great awe.

Alfred Hitchcock
He was master storyteller who churned out movies like it was his job… which it was. Over a 50 year career, he cranked out nearly 70 films as a director, plus he wrote and produced his own television series and other films. But he will be remembered most as a director for his uncanny ability to capture suspense,play with our minds with stunning visuals, and create iconic images in films like “Psycho” “The Birds” “North by Northwest” “Vertigo” and the list goes on. He set the stage for other directors in a genre he brought respect to.

John Ford
He’s arguably the greatest. He directed more than 100 films, including classics like Stagecoach, The Grapes of Wrath, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Searchers, and also was a four-time Oscar winner for directing. His pace, understanding of timing, respect for actors and iconic imagery all make up his incredible talent. A master, through and through, and a workhorse.

Martin ScorseseHe came out of the NYU film school, and lead a generation of directors that bucked the Hollywood system and its traditional film-making techniques and story lines. He


made movies, like Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, that challenged the viewer and put them in an uneasy chair. His mafia movies, like Good Fellas and The Departed, are unmatched in the genre. He approaches film humbly, and understands stories and imagery like no other. We love Scorsese, and we hope he never retires.

Stanley Kubrick
Kirk Douglas, after the making of Spartacus, said, “Stanley Kurbick is a talented shit.”

He only made 15 films in his career, which was one of his regrets as a director, but he was a perfectionist and his pictures were a reflection of that. His last film, Eyes Wide Shut, took five years to make. No other director has been given that freedom, and for good reason. Every Kubrick film is a masterpiece.

There has neverbeen a director who understood a camera better. He was a still photographer before he became a motion picture director and his use of light and how it impacts stories and characters as a storytelling vehicle is extremely thoughtful. His storytelling skills are superb, but he never used narrative stories, or rarely did. His movies made you feel the story. They never handed it to you on a silver plate. He challenged viewers with his stories and portrayed them with stunning beauty. He was the Mozart of film making.

Akira Kurosawa
Ironically, Kirosawa was panned in Japan in his early days for being too influenced by western directors, like John Ford, and for bringing too much emotion to his pictures. But that was his strength. He captured both the action

Westminster Law School to deliver IHEART programme to educate students on resilience and wellbeing

Law23 October 2018

The partnership, with mindset coaching business Unstoppable! in association with IHEART, an organisation specialising in educating young people about their inner resilience and wellbeing, will deliver a resilience programme to all first year law students in their first semester.

At the forefront of teaching, the University of Westminster is the first university in the UK to run this programme for an entire year group, with the potential to expand it to other courses as well. With legal professionals being increasingly exposed to emotional and psychologically challenging environments, resilience and wellbeing are high on the agenda of professional bodies like the Bar Council and the Law Society.

Running at the end of October during Student EngagementWeek, IHEART is an educational programme which will empower participants with the certainty to handle whatever challenges they might face in their professional and personal lives. It addresses real issues students encounter on a daily basis, inside and outside university.

The programme will be delivered by a team of certified facilitators from IHEART, led by their Head of Education Terry Rubenstein, with input from Sylvie Bacquet, Senior Lecturer and Senior School Tutor at the Westminster Law School, and the personal tutoring team. To help them see the relevance and value for their future careers, two senior barristers, who have benefited from this same education, will also be speaking to them and contributing to the programme.

Through a series of highly interactive modules, students will learn why they can rely on


attractive practice-based courses that are independently rated as excellent, many with international recognition. Our distinguished 180-year history has meant we lead the way in many areas of research, particularly politics, media, art and design, architecture and biomedical sciences, and our position in the city of London allows us to continue to build on our close connections with leading figures and organisations in these areas as well as in the worlds of business, information technology, politics and law.

Our commitment to educating graduates for the needs of professional life attracts high quality students from within the UK and around the globe.

Internationalisation, employability and sustainability are key elements in the University of Westminster’s vision for the future and we strive to ensure the very highest standards are met and maintained.hopes to harvest 22,000 acres of hybrid poplar
trees near Boardman for pulp by the year 2000 if the coyotes don't get them

the National Park Service says their contract prohibits them from allowing Circulator buses on internal Mall roads that the Tourmobile uses, and also from even making mention of the Circulator on their signs. In the past, DC tried to implement a comprehensive Circulator on the Mall, but hostile members of Congress pushed NPS to just retain the Tourmobile exclusivity. DC even offered to buy the Tourmobile to end the impasse.

Keep the current tour routes, which extend from Union Station to Arlington Cemetery and around the Tidal Basin.

Keep the current routes, extend the Arlington Cemetery service to the Marine Corps Memorial, and add a route going to the museums and memorials on Pennsylvania Avenue and around Gallery Place and Judiciary Square. The service could feature spoken tours or couldand also traveling between the Mall and surrounding neighborhoods, restaurants, and Metro stations in DC and Arlington.

The Mall plan also gives little attention to the many tour buses that drive to the Mall. Many of them idle for long periods of time, emitting substantial pollution. They also form a virtual wall 20 feet high, Tregoning pointed out, and while NPS and NCPC would never consider building a 20-foot wall between the Washington Monument and a nearby road, the buses in effect create just such a wall.

According to Tregoning, one TIGER grant proposal DC submitted which didn't get funding involved letting buses park at 5th and I, where a failed project will instead be a temporary parking lot, in exchange for putting transponders on the buses so DC can


collect data on their movements and design a better system for managing and parking the buses long-term.

The FONSI also has two additional nuggets. NPS may start allowing Segways on certain designated routes, the sidewalks on roadways crossing the Mall, and on part of Ohio Drive and Pennsylvania Avenue.

Finally, NPS may add meters to some of its parking, "to support transit operations, encourage greater use of transit services and be consistent with regional transportation practices." As Michael Perkins noted in testimony before the DC Council, that might also make it easier to park on the Mall.

In normal times, all news from day one of Baselworld is eclipsed by Rolex, which unveils every new watch it makes in a full year from its stand. Other brands barely get a look-in as collectors, retailers and the press debate what they have seen.

These are not normal times.

Coronavirus first took down the world’s biggest watch trade fairs, then forced the entire Swiss watch industry into lock down along with most of the developed world.

Rolex and Tudor told their authorised dealers and the media in March that 2020 collections would still be revealed on what would have been day one of Baselworld, April 30, this year.

However, with the prospect of face-to-face presentations taking place at the end of this month vanishing, WatchPro was told bySteven Gerrard dedicated Liverpool's 3-2 victory over Manchester City to the memory of the 96 men, women and children who lost their lives at Hillsborough, their families and the survivors.

The captain was visibly emotional upon the full-time whistle on Sunday after the Reds had marked their final game before the 25th anniversary of the tragedy with a series of tributes.

"The reason I was so emotional was because of when this game fell," explained Gerrard.

"It wasn't just because it was a big match in our season, it was because this week is always about more than football for everyone associated with Liverpool. It's emotional for so many people.

"I'm speaking on behalf of everyone when I say the win was dedicated to the victims and families of Hillsborough."


Creepypasta characters backstories

Jeff woods was born on October 19 2009. His parents were happy to see their new son who they called jeff.

Jeff got along with his brother who are both 13. Jeff and Lui were always playing games or talking to each other. One day jeff and Lui went to school called grothsworth and see posters of random peeps.

Jeff's life was how it was before met Zeus. So one day when he came home. He went straight to his room and laid there for 5 minutes and suddenly hearda familiar voice and looked out his window it was Rodger Macbeth.

One day jeff came back home to find the house was on fire and his mum margaret said "don't worry we're going to Maryland and your gonna love it there. Jeff hardly believed his ears that means he won't be able to see Dan and Jody for a while.

Jeff and his family boarded the plane to Maryland and once he got he asked "will there be other teens here". "Of course". Liu asked jeff if he missed Jody and dan. "Yes". Jeff said with tears but realised he will see them again.

Jeff and his family moved into house number 32. Jeff and his brother Liu were unpacking their things from the car.

Jeff was having a strange feeling


in his head like an vision. But denied it. And continue to unpack the car. Once inside the house he ran room and looked in there.

There were games on shelves and books in draws and instruments too but there also posters comics and cds and movies. Everything a teen needs.

Suddenly he heard the doorbell and ran downstairs and opened the door. And at the door there was a woman and her 8 year old son.

"Hello I'm Barbara and this my son Peter. She said pointing at the 8 year old. "I'm these are my sons jeff and liu".

So the woman invited them to her son's party Liu and Jeff declined but their mother said yes.

So jeff and his brother Liu enjoyed life as they went to school andmet jane and jeremy ( her brother). Jeff was as happy as ever but then had that strange again.

One day jeff and Liu were at the bus stop waiting for the bus. When 3 twelve year olds jumped over them with their skateboards. And pulled out knives on them and attacked. Jeff had that feeling again and attacked them. Two were bruised one was punched. Jeff asked " what are your names?". I'm Randy and the skinny one is keith and the fat one is troy.

Jeff and Liu saw the bus and ran. Jeff said nothing for the rest of the day. One day the police came asked jeff to juvy but Liu protecting his brother said he did it And was taken away.

Jeff was sadder than ever

Randy attacked and threw him into the patio door. Jeff had a bottle of vodka thrown on his face. Suddenly something snapped and all jeff could do is kill. He punched Randy in the chest and his heart stopped and he died. He ran upstairs and hit troy with a towel rack knocking him down. Keith was left. Bleach went everywhere and landed on them and hit Keith with the towel rack and as Keith bleed out he grinned.

Jeff asked " what's so funny". "What's funny is that you got bleach and vodka all over you. And threw a lighter at jeff.

Opon inpacked he became a human inferno. Next thing he knew he was in hospital and saw another person it was jane. "Hey jane baby.


Jane was happy to see jeff and kissed jeff. Jeff felt his face and smiled he will remember that forever. The day finally came and Jeff's family came to see him. The bandages were taken off and everyone including Liu Were shocked and Jeff saw his face was leathery white his mouth was a dark red and his hair went from brown to black.

His family got his hoodie and skinny jeans and top and left. Jeff's mum heard sobbing in the bathroom and saw Jeff who had cut out his eyelids and sliced a smile into his mouth. Jeff's mum ran to her husband and told him to get the gun. But Jeff was behind them and gutted them.

He went to his brother Liu and said shh justgo to sleep. Later that night Jeff slit Liu throt and was never seen again.

Ben was a loner in his school nobody liked him. His bully (gunther fett) was a example. He would push ben into trashcans and steal his lunch money. Ben would always go home badly bruised with cuts and bruises.

Ben had a party one time and his parents invited gunther fett to it. He was about 8 back then. He pushed ben into a cake and cut him a knife. Ben was infuriated by night time because that meant listening to nightmares in his brain. About gunther and his buddies( ed dredd and freddy gropp) who constantly in his dreams chase him and beat him to death. He would scream.

to the shops with his mum and dad. When they reached a lake and found the breaks had stopped. And he drowned.(he was also a HUGE fan of LOZ, in M.M., u can do some stuff to spawn him he looks a LOT like link)

He was a photographer and storyteller who told scary stories to kids. He loved his job actually he loved it so much. He thought maybe he could create a site for his stories and came up with the word "creepypasta".

As he was driving home one night he caught a slight turn in the road and fell into acid bleach and glass. When he saw his reflection in the sea.

He was amazed and to this day people post creepypastas on the internet.and who interacted with African American youth. They included parents, grandparents, a school board member, teachers, a principal, pastors, the high school band director, the coordinator of a church-based youth resource center, and the president of the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, among others. Interviews were conducted between January and April 2007.

Interviews were conducted in person in the home or community setting of the participant\'s choice and lasted from 20 minutes to 2 hours. Interview guides were used to conduct the interviews. Questions addressed the 3 upstream levels in Sweat and Denison\'s ecological model ([Appendix](#A1){ref-type="app"}). At the environmental level, topics included the community-built environment and the food environment. Questions included, \"Where do youth go to get exercise?\" and \"Where do families eat when they


churches and civic organizations are also mainly segregated. As a case in point, the citizens\' health collaborative, which was composed of leaders from local businesses, schools, health care facilities, and city government, requested the larger community health assessment. The collaborative had no African American members. A former school board member, the sole African American representative on the school board at the time, commented on the racial dynamics:

> You stay on your side of the tracks. . . . Change is slow. . . . It\'s black and white, black and white.

A young woman agreed, commenting that white people came to her neighborhood only to buy drugs:

> If you see a white person driving through on this street, it\'s mostly for drugs. Like, white people don\'t just come throughhere.

This spatial segregation, according to participants, limited the interaction of black and white community members.

The public schools, however, being integrated by law, served as a lightning rod for racial tensions, according to participants. The middle school and high school have been the settings of major racial incidents in recent years concerning issues such as the practice of having separate black and white prom courts, student councils, and class presidents; outcry over the lack of African American teachers; and a lawsuit challenging an ability grouping curriculum. (The US Office of Civil Rights ruled that the curriculum was discriminatory.) As such, African American youth have been, and continue to be, at the center of the community\'s struggle with race issues. In addition, such experiences of segregation and racism are carried


SES as a stressor
-------------------------------------------------

Racial issues were intertwined deeply with those of class in the community. In addition to the strain of racial tension, many African American youth in the community endure the stresses of poverty and face a future with limited opportunities to escape poverty as adults. Participants consistently reported that job options were few in the depressed local economy, except for fast-food jobs, other minimum-wage service jobs, and a poultry processing plant. The community has undergone economic deterioration in the past 30 to 40 years. Farming work was lost as agriculture became more mechanized and local textile factories closed or relocated. In addition, many participants shared that as the local economy weakened, illegal drug activity had exploded, providing a lucrative yet potentially destructive vocation for African Americanregular Pakistani Army troops respectively.

Intercepted radio chatter between Pakistani positions indicates that the country has cancelled leaves of its officers and troops, Indian army officials said. The intercepts also indicate that Pakistani officers have been threatened with dire consequences by their superior officers, if they fail to detect incoming Indian troops.

In 2016, India carried out a cross border raid after the Uri Brigade’s Headquarters were hit by terrorists leaving 19 soldiers dead. Indian commandos took the Pakistani establishment by surprise, and hit at least five terror launch pads and collocated Pakistani army installations killing an unspecified number of terrorists and Pakistani army regulars.

Pakistan fears a repeat with India’s language since the Pulwama attack leaving no doubt that a retaliatory attack is only a function of time and place.

relatable. She too is fraught with insecurities and doubts around her own self-image and intelligence. All of these serve to highlight and reinforce the issues that she challenges. Most TV shows feature beautiful female characters who are flawless in both their appearance and confidence. The Simpsons contested these notions with Lisa to reassure and comfort young girls everywhere.

In the episode Lisa the Beauty Queen, Lisa is devastated by an unflattering caricature of herself, and cries uncontrollably over how ugly she perceives herself to be. In an attempt to build her self-confidence, Homer enters Lisa into a beauty pageant to highlight the beauty that he sees in her. Lisa reluctantly enters and wins this pageant. Despite being uncomfortable and horrified by the lengths that her fellow contestants go toin the pursuit of beauty she takes part and wins.

Never one to bask in her own greatness, Lisa uses her newfound platform to publicise her political opinions about Mayor Quimby. Outraged, Quimby fights to de-crown Lisa due to a technical loophole, representatively, in the same way that vocal women are often muted by powerful institutions and agendas.

The Simpsons pulls no punches in its critical commentaries and Lisa is often at the centre. She’s fiercely opinionated and unapologetic, and this doesn’t go unnoticed or unpunished. Just as women in the media spotlight, are often demonised, criticised or mocked for being outspoken; so too is Lisa. She has converted the ignorance in her parents, brother, friends, and at times; Springfield. However she is quite often patronised, laughed at and isolated.

you get into it."

Adams released his last batch of original material, Ryan Adams, in 2014. Last year, he issued a track-by-track folk-rock reimagining of Taylor Swift's 1989.

In May, he released a massive box set edition of his breakthrough 2000 debut, Heartbreaker. The deluxe release includes the original remastered album along with demos, unheard outtakes and a DVD featuring a previously unreleased solo acoustic show.The logic of our analysis of the suppression issue requires that we also reverse Mr. Maldonado's judgment and sentence for resisting an officer without violence.

I. THE FACTS
The only witness to testify at the hearing on Mr. Maldonado's motion to suppress was the arresting officer, Deputy Steve Hall of the Sarasota County Sheriff's Department. Deputy Hall testified that in the early morning hours of November 4, 2003, he was on patrol on Interstate 75 in southern Sarasota County. Deputy Hall had parked his patrol car facing south so that he could observe the northbound traffic on the highway. At approximately 3 a.m., Deputy Hall stopped a northbound car because the vehicle's brake lights were malfunctioning and its tag light was out. Deputy Hall asked the driver, Mr. Maldonado, to


step out of the vehicle. Two passengers remained in the vehicle.
After Mr. Maldonado had stepped away from his vehicle, Deputy Hall asked him where he had begun his journey. Mr. Maldonado responded that he was traveling from Panther Ridge and Laurel Road. Deputy Hall concluded that Mr. Maldonado was lying to him because Mr. Maldonado had been traveling north on Interstate 75 and the location of the traffic stop was south of Panther Ridge and Laurel Road. Deputy Hall also noticed that Mr. Maldonado was "nervous" and seemed to be experiencing difficulty in speaking. Accordingly, Deputy Hall called for a K-9 unit to be dispatched to the scene of the traffic stop.
After Mr. Maldonado's untruthful response, Deputy Hall remained unsure whether Mr. Maldonado was involved in any criminalactivity. The deputy decided to investigate further by asking the passengers where they had begun their trip. The passenger in the front seat of the car told Deputy Hall that they were traveling from Miami. Based on Mr. Maldonado's *841 behavior and the contradictory statements given by him and his passenger concerning the starting point of their journey, Deputy Hall thought that Mr. Maldonado was "hiding something maybe involved with drugs." At this point, the deputy ran a computer check on Mr. Maldonado's driver's license but found nothing amiss.
Next, Deputy Hall told Mr. Maldonado that his story was not making sense and that he thought Mr. Maldonado was lying. The deputy told Mr. Maldonado that he would be issued a written warning for the traffic violations and then


he could be on his way. However, Deputy Hall also told Mr. Maldonado that a K-9 unit was on its way to the scene and asked if that was "okay" with Mr. Maldonado. Mr. Maldonado replied, "No problem."
While he was waiting for the K-9 unit to arrive, Deputy Hall noticed a bulge in Mr. Maldonado's pocket, felt it, and noticed that the bulging item was hard. The deputy asked what the bulge was, and Mr. Maldonado answered that it was money. Deputy Hall replied by asking Mr. Maldonado to display the object in his pocket. Mr. Maldonado removed from his pocket a paper towel that Deputy Hall thought contained "dope." Mr. Maldonado then put his hand back in his pocket and kept it there. Next, Deputy Hall reacheddown, grabbed Mr. Maldonado's hand, and ordered him to take his hand out of his pocket. Mr. Maldonado "swat[ted] at" the deputy, turned around, and ran away.
By this time, the K-9 unit and another deputy had arrived. The deputies eventually apprehended Mr. Maldonado and after a brief strugglesubdued him. Deputy Hall was kicked in the face and sustained a "busted lip." On the ground near where Mr. Maldonado was apprehended, Deputy Hall found cocaine next to the paper towel.
At the hearing on the motion to suppress, the defense argued that Deputy Hall had unreasonably prolonged the traffic stop to allow additional time for the K-9 unit to arrive. The State conceded that Deputy Hall had detained Mr. Maldonado for longer than was necessary to write the warning for

Xbox One release roundup for the week of September 12, 2016

Sincerely appreciate you doing this each week, but any chance you could give us Central's view on certain games in the article too? I don'tresearch that Tom had undertaken and made possible. The meeting was both a retrospective review and a forward look at developmental therapeutics in all its forms: small molecule, macromolecule, gene therapy and immunological. Peppered throughout the presentations were not only references to Tom\'s scientific contributions, but also anecdotes and reminiscences collected during 30 years of cancer research, these brought both smiles and tears of laughter to the assembled committee members, and to his widow, Pearl, and daughter, Clare, who were there.

As Gordon McVie, the former Director General of the Cancer Research Campaign, who strongly supported the Committee\'s activities, pointed out in his summary, there can be very few who have contributed as much as Tom Connors to cancer research. This article reflects those aspects of Tom\'s work related


established at the Charing Cross Hospital. In the intervening 20 years, the Committee has selected 89 agents for clinical trials: 25 cytotoxic agents, five antiendocrine drugs, 28 small molecules with novel or unknown mechanisms of action, five polymer-targeted agents and 26 antibody-targeted agents/immunotherapies. To date, four agents have progressed to the market with two, temozolomide (**I**--Temodal®) and 4-hydroxyandrostenedione (**II**--Lentaron®), being particularly successful and many more showing promising activity in Phase I, II and III trials.

Although Tom never worked outside the UK, he was in every sense a truly international scientist. In particular, his long association with the National Cancer Institute, US (NCI) began in 1966 at the Ninth International Cancer Congress in Tokyo when he met John Venditti, who was then chief of drug evaluation at the NCI.In the years that followed Tom became a key adviser to the NCI\'s developmental therapeutics and toxicology programmes. He paved the way for the NCI\'s highly successful international alliances, and initiated the collaboration with the CRC.

Tom had the distinction of being the first 'international figure' to serve on the NCI\'s top scientific advisory and oversight committees. He also freely offered his wise counsel and expert knowledge to the NCI in-house panels, programme directors and countless collaborators and colleagues. It was through his efforts that the NCI was able to convince the FDA to take a more open view on approving IND applications for anticancer drugs from expert groups in Europe and the UK.

When the NCI launched its European Programme and opened the Brussels Office in 1972, Tom became


the principal adviser in planning its long-term strategy. He fostered a highly successful transatlantic collaboration and helped the NCI bridge the gap with Eastern Europe, and establish links with the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC). Through his efforts, the NCI was by now well represented in the EORTC drug development groups and its programme for developing new European anticancer agents rapidly gained momentum. Given this flow of new compounds from European sources to the NCI, on Tom\'s advice, the NCI established a testing laboratory at the Institut Jules Bordet in Brussels to screen new agents. By the late 1970s, tens of thousands of new molecules had been tested by NCI Brussels and new agents active in the screens were selected for clinical trials.

Although anticancerdrug development was well underway in Europe, the scientists with expertise in experimental therapeutics were predominantly from one country, the UK. Therefore, Tom saw the opportunity to establish a drug development network in the UK and presented his plan to the NCI. It was viewed with favour and NCI compounds were selected for consideration by the CRC Phase I/II Committee. Until that time it had been inconceivable for the NCI to give new active compounds from its screens to 'offshore developers' and no other individual deserves more credit in setting the stage for the NCI\'s early international success in anticancer drug research. He was a facilitator, a trusted colleague and collaborator, inspiring all who surrounded him. He lived the working philosophy that he taught: 'Science should be both

familiarity with the sources and consequences of firm-level variation and
within-industry reallocation.

Arc Elves Prep for Dec. 10 Breakfast with Santa, Angel Wreath Program

With a surface area of 196,935,000 square miles to cover during just one night, even magical Saint Nick can use a little help during the holiday season. That's why The Arc of Livingston-Wyoming doubles as Santa Claus' satellite workshop in Mount Morris, NY during the month of December.

Arc "elves" are currently busy preparing for Breakfast with Santa, which will be held Saturday, December 10th at Geneseo United Methodist Church, 4520 Genesee Street (Route 63) in Geneseo. Breakfast with Santa is free and open to the public, and is presented by The Arc of Livingston-Wyoming Foundation, with additional support from local businesses and volunteers.

Santa does double-duty at The Arc's Breakfast with Santa, which consists of


two sessions: children 12 and younger dine with Santa at 8:30 am, while older kids and adults with disabilities get together with Saint Nick at 10:30 am. In total, more than 200 children, parents, and other adults attend annually.

"What sets Breakfast with Santa apart from all other Arc events each year is that it brings together people of all ages and abilities," says Arc Board President Cheryl Englert. "It is a community event in the truest sense of the word."

In addition to Breakfast with Santa, Arc personnel are making a list and checking it twice for the agency's Angel Wreath Gift Giving Program, which runs until December 21st. For this program, Arc employees unite with people served by the agency to collect and distribute toys for children whoare served by the agency's Head Start program. The program reached more than 150 children in 2010.

A fitting conclusion to a generous holiday season – and while they may not travel 196,935,000 square miles in a single night, Santa's helpers at The Arc certainly cover a lot of ground.

"It's a lot of work, and well worth it," says Public Relations Specialist Bonnie McGoldrick. "But with all these gifts, I don't know how Santa is going to fit down the chimney."

For more about The Arc's holiday programs, or to register for Breakfast With Santa, contact Bonnie at (585) 658-2828, extension 108 or bmcgoldrick@lwarc.org.
