At the session on Monday, the General Affairs and External Relations Council welcomed the work of the Special Envoy, Mr Fassino, in coordinating the diplomatic efforts of the European Union and its Asian partners and reaffirmed his role in supporting and promoting the United Nations mission.
I should point out that, some time ago, the European Union adopted an overall common position which includes an arms embargo on Burma and travel restrictions and the freezing of assets for a large number of Burmese citizens connected with the military and the government.
In November 2007 the Council adopted stricter sanctions to reinforce the existing measures and to set up new ones, especially measures aimed at extractiveactivities. As anticipated, the Council will study the effect, efficiency, political suitability and practical feasibility of possible further restrictions.
The Council receives and studies information from its partners and many representatives in governmental organisations about their experience with the stricter sanctions.
The Council has noted that some Member States of the European Union and the Commission have recently increased aid to Burma and Burmese refugees in neighbouring countries. The European Union would be prepared to guarantee additional aid to Burma/Myanmar. For that reason it is calling for the Burmese authorities to adopt further measures to democratise the country and reach national reconciliation.
The official announcement of a referendum on the constitution, which should take place in May of this year, and in particular of multi-party elections in 2010, is, in the


sources.
The EU, together with other countries, responded to the demonstrations of last August and September and to the violent suppression of those peaceful demonstrations, with the clear aim of displaying its solidarity with the Burmese population. Also, it adopted stronger restrictive measures targeting those responsible for violence and the general political deadlock and conditions in the country. As mentioned before, because of the difficult living conditions of the population and because of the numbers of refugees, some Member States and the Commission have increased aid to Burma as well as to Burmese refugees in neighbouring countries.
In addition, the European Union was among the instigators of the United Nations Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva in October 2007, which authorised the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Human Rights, SérgioEarlier this year, the advertising branch of SNCF (French Rail) refused to run a billboard campaign for a book. Rose Sang, set in Marseille, is the tale of a journalist trying to find out why a fellow photographer decided to take his own life. As one character, a police inspector, tells the heroine: "Corruption has taken over half the city, at every level." Rose Sang spares no one: not the police, nor the reporters frantically competing for a scoop, nor the municipal workers of Marseille, European Capital of Culture 2013, whom author Annabelle Desmais portrays as guilty of bribery and peddling influence. So SNCF claimed that the slogan for the book, "Marseille, son MuCEM, ses meurtres" (Marseille, its Museum of Mediterranean and European Civilisation, and its murders), might


be taken for a political message in the runup to local elections.

However, Marseille-bashing – the city is a byword for economic stagnation, political patronage, drug trafficking in the northern suburbs, organised crime (actually in decline since the demise of the French Connection smuggling chain), recurrent drive-by killings and, of course, police corruption – is grist to the mill of crime fiction. What could be more romantic than this multiracial city, between the Mediterranean and a ring of hills, with its tower blocks and ancient citadels, its unique mixture of Provence and Maghreb? It would be hard to find a better source of inspiration for noir novelists than this city in the sun. Which no doubt explains the success of the local genre, which has no equivalent elsewhere inafter decades of slumber and a common interest in the social and urban fabric. It is as if each of the novelists is trying to fathom the mystery of this global city – in all its diversity, tragic urgency and beauty – to forge some unity and invent a collective destiny. As if they all had taken on a mission to condemn, with light brushstrokes, the desperation induced by pockets of high unemployment.

"Politicians have confiscated and sabotaged the city's future. The only time Marseille stops being a disaster zone and the capital of delinquency, it's thanks to Olympique de Marseille [the local football team], even if it only lasts as long as a match. It's not just an


outlet, it's the place's collective unconscious, its moment of glory," a video producer explains in Joliette Sound System, a short story by Fabre. He imagines a revolt, triggered by a video in which Zinedine Zidane and Eric Cantona call on football fans to take to the streets and take over council buildings. In contrast, Extreme Onction, by François Thomazeau, backtracks over the history of the city, profiling the public figures who have lent their names to parts of the football stadium.

Crime fiction is an urban genre that, much as the westerns it has largely replaced, is rooted in time and place. "What better way than fiction to describe this city, allowing the reader to see and feel it," Fabre says. "The truth seems so incredible. In many casescrime fiction lays claim to a form of social realism, following on from Zola or Vallès, but here in Marseille it soon has more to do with social surrealism."

There is certainly no shortage of absurdity in the city. A recent court ruling ended the custom among refuse collectors, known as fini-parti (mop 'n' go), which meant they could clock off as soon as they finished their round. In her story, Sous Peine de Poursuites (Subject to Prosecution), Pia Petersen makes passing reference to this practice. "He asked them why they watered the tarmac, why they didn't close manholes, pick up rubbish or clean the street. They just laughed at him and turned their backs."

Visitors are often puzzled by the anarchy of Marseille, by all the contradictory behaviour. But


then locals, such as Philippe Carresse, are bemused too. "The sun seems to dull people's minds, but the nearby sea refreshes them. The world's most beautiful creeks are just round the corner, and the dealers only two stops away from the local secondary school," he writes in Le Problème du Rond-Point. "That's Marseille, with its ongoing chaos and overall inconsequence. But does it really matter?"

This article appeared in Guardian Weekly, which incorporates material from Le Mondelight on the depth of America’s problems as a result of allowing illegal aliens into the country," Wilcox said. "It also debunks the idea that being in the country illegally is a victimless crime."

Wilcox added that many of the victims of identity theft were children and thereby unable to defend themselves appropriately.

"Millions of Americans, in many cases children, are having their identities stolen to enable even more criminal activity," he said. "Illegal aliens should not reap Social Security benefits that result from the commission of identity theft."

ILRI is the legal arm of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a non-profit group that advocates for a stronger U.S. border control policy.

In April, the group filed a federal lawsuit against the Social Security Administration pertaining to records relevant to an


Obama administration decision to cease sending "no match" letters. The letters, which the federal government had relied upon since 1979 to prevent identity theft, inform employers that the name and Social Security number given by an employee does not match official records.

The Obama administration stopped sending "no match" letters after putting into place the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program in 2012, according to The Washington Times. DACA, which granted legal protections to nearly 800,000 illegal immigrants brought to the U.S. as children, was revoked by President Donald Trump in September 2017.

Earlier this summer, the Trump administration also unveiled plans to begin sending "no match" letters again to employers starting in spring 2019 as part of its efforts to crack down on illegal immigration.

This is not thearguing "inaccuracies" in data collected by the Social Security Administration would affect U.S. citizens and legal immigrants alike. Subsequently, the matter was tied up in federal court until the end of the Bush administration. The Obama-era DHS did not resume sending out "no match" letters until 2011, before suspending the program again in 2012 when DACA was implemented.

When declaring ILRI's suit in April, Wilcox lambasted the Obama administration for allowing employers "to exploit" lax immigration laws while millions of Americans "had their personal data stolen."

"Ending the no-match letters policy was yet another disastrous move by the previous administration and allowed unscrupulous employers to exploit illegal aliens while avoiding prosecution by federal authorities," Wilcox said at the time. "It also caused great damage in the lives of those who

Phoenix Coyotes hire former Vancouver assistant coach

Posted on July 11, 2013 by Jennifer Zaremba

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Phoenix Coyotes have hired former Vancouver Canucks assistant coach Newell Brown to serve on Dave Tippett’s staff. He replaces John Anderson, who didn’t return after two years with the Coyotes. The 51-year-old Brown spent the past three seasons with Vancouver, helping lead the Canucks to the Presidents’ Trophy in consecutive seasons and a trip to the 2011 Stanley Cup finals.


CNN White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins has apologized for homophobic tweets she sent back in her college days after the deleted messages resurfaced online.

Collins, who routinely features on CNN with updates coming from the Trump administration, sent the offensive tweets in 2011.

They appear to have resurfaced via a Twitter page belonging to the Log Cabin Republicans, an organization which describes itself as the US’ “largest organization representing LGBT conservatives.”

One of the offending tweets sees the journalist use a homophobic slur, while in another Collins tells a friend she is unsure if she wants to room with a lesbian.

Collins, a former Daily Caller journalist who graduated from the University of Alabama, said she sent the messages to friends while she was in college.

Apologizing for the historic tweets, Collins admittedhelped make this a reality,” Cossin said to a crowd gathered at the construction site at Kathleen Road and George Jenkins Boulevard.

With dump trucks and earth movers adding to the din of early-morning traffic, clinic officials provided a brief history of LVIM, which opened Feb. 14, 2001, at its present location, 1021 Lakeland Hills Blvd., in the former John Cox Elementary School.

Friday morning’s brief ceremony and groundbreaking served as a reminder of the clinic’s genesis as a collaboration between Dr. Glen Barden, an orthopedic surgeon who was managing partner at Watson Clinic in Lakeland, other clinic physicians, the Watson Clinic Foundation and local community leaders.

Barden was inspired by Jack McConnell, a retired physician on Hilton Head Island who was treating the poor for free. Other local retired physicians

to 1984.

Creating “Fake News”: Why Alter The Past?

A key part of the dystopian society of 1984 is the control of the past by altering media. It should be noted forthright, however, that in 1984 this whole process is controlled and carried out by the Party, the totalitarian leaders of the society. Winston spends his days going through old records and changing them to the whims of his leaders. Orwell explains why the Party takes the time to do this:

“This process of continuous alteration was applied not only to newspapers, but to books, periodicals, pamphlets, posters, leaflets, films, sound tracks, cartoons, photographs — to every kind of literature or documentation which might conceivably hold any political or ideological significance. Day by day and almost minute by minute the pastas he thought of the enormous power arrayed against him, the ease with which any Party intellectual would overthrow him in a debate, the subtle arguments which he would not be able to understand, much less answer. And yet he was in the right! They were wrong and he was right. The obvious, the silly, and the true had got to be defended. And yet he was in the right!” (69)

When Winston later finds The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism, he reads:

“Past events, if argued, have no objective existence, but survive only in written records and in human memories. The past is whatever the records and the memories agree upon. And since the Party is in full control of all records, and in equally full control of

In anticipation of India's upcoming Independence Day celebrations, artist Akbar Saheb is getting ready to unveil his latest creation: a tribute to the men of India's armed forces.

Saheb, who hails from Udipi in the southwestern Indian state of Karnataka, came to the UAE more than 20 years ago, and quickly began using his uncanny artistic ability to document the times and achievements of both his native country and the country he now calls home. Since arriving in the UAE, he's composed well over 1,000 works of art on a variety of topics.

His latest work - which will be unveiled to the public for the first time over the weekend - is inspired by the hardships and sacrifices of Indian army


put the painting on the auction block, with all the proceeds going to a charity that focuses on helping soldiers and their families.

Among his other crowning achievements are a series of 12 portraits of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which are based on the electoral promises he made to 1.2 billion Indian citizens. During Modi's August 2015 visit to the UAE, Saheb got a chance to present one of the paintings to the Prime Minister at a last-minute event at the Emirates Palace Hotel that was organised by the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi.

More recently, Saheb gained the distinction of being the only artist with illustrations in Modi's book, Mann Ki Batt, which was unveiled in May at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in New Delhi in the presence ofbin Sultan al Nahyan, as well as a series dedicated to the Emirati soldiers who were martyred in Yemen in 2015.

Saheb is keeping the topic of his next upcoming work of art a closely guarded secret, but noted it is "huge", with 40 paintings in the series. "Modi will be impressed," he said.

El Palito Refinery

The El Palito refinery is one of the largest oil refining complexes in Venezuela. It is located in the municipality of Puerto Cabello, near the town of El Palito, on the coast of the state of Carabobo, in Venezuela. It currently has a maximum processing capacity of 140,000 barrels of crude oil per day.31 This complex, controlled by the company Petróleos de Venezuela (PDVSA), supplies fuel and derivatives to the central-western part of the country through a system of polyducts that supply the El Palito, Yagua and Barquisimeto distribution plants.

Austin Cook is a big-hearted 14-year-old that lives in Cleburne, Texas with his parents and 6 of his 7 siblings. In 2013 he unfortunately lost his beloved baby brother who was only 4 years old at the time. Austin says:

“My brother was an abuse victim and he went through a lot before my parents adopted him and my little sister, but more importantly my brother was my best friend. When he died I was put into foster care with my brothers and sisters until police and CPS could make sure that my parents did nothing wrong since no one knew why he died. While in foster care I was abused many times by another kid in the home.

When I reported it, no one did anything to stop it.are opening their doors for these two boys, but they have an uphill battle to perform this rescue mission.

Saudia Arabia’s foreign ministry announced Friday that it was revoking the citizenship of Hamza bin Laden, son of the slain Al Qaeda leader responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Usama bin Laden.

The move comes less than a day after the U.S. State Department’s Counter-Terrorism Rewards Program announced a $1 million reward for information leading to his whereabouts. The United Nations Security Council on Thursday also added Hamza to its designated sanctions list.

US OFFERS $1M FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO USAMA BIN LADEN'S SON

However, other members of bin Laden’s family – including his mother Hamida al-Attas – remain in the country and are influential members of Saudi society.

Hamza was named a “specifically designated global terrorist” by the United States more than two years ago, and has been viewed as anemerging leader and “face for the younger generation” of Al Qaeda recruits. The outfit’s current leader, Egyptian physician Ayman al-Zawahiri, introduced him to the followers in an audio message in 2015. Hamza has since gone on to use his platform to call for attacks against the West.

Much like his late father – who was killed in a raid of his Abbottabad, Pakistan compound by US Navy SEALs in 2011 – Hamza, believed to be around 30, is a shadowy and elusive figure and little about his background or status his known. He is reported to have recently married, and has been thought to reside – or have resided – everywhere from Afghanistan and Pakistan to Iran and Syria. While


he was just one of an estimated two dozen of Usama's children and around 12 when the 9/11 attacks took place, he has long been considered in intelligence circles to have been "the favorite."

Al Qaeda remains a potent and global terrorist network, with branches spanning the Middle East, Africa and South East Asia.After the commercial failure of the second part of his Apu Trilogy, Bengali auteur Satyajit Ray opted for more commercially viable material for his next project. He turned to writer Tarasankar Bandyopadhyay, and a short story about a landlord clinging to his last motes of power as his empire crumbles around him. The result was 1958’s Jalsaghar, released internationally as The Music Room.

The landlord (or zamindar) in question is Lord Roy, played by Chhabi Biswas with a gravitas that matches his contemporary, Laurence Olivier. The film opens halfway through the narrative, with Roy as a bent old man, and the last of his servants, Ananta (Kali Sarkar), still at his side. We jump back four years to show what brought Roy to near-ruin, before the second half of


the movie shows us how he will move forward from his personal tragedy.

Pride of Roy’s mansion is his music room: a large decadent hall, where many an entertainment over the years has built his reputation and garnered social respect. Now the room is in disrepair. Yet, as the coffers run ever drier, it’s still the one place where Roy can feel proud, especially as a younger businessman, Ganguly (Gangapada Bose), has moved in next door and he is building wealth – not to mentioned a music room – of his own.

Fitting firmly into the Gatsby/Kane tradition of men of means losing their soul to hubris, The Music Room feels like the last act of There Will Be Blood stretched to 90 minutes. And it’s just as good asthat sounds. It’s remarkably brave to make Roy inherently unlikeable from the very beginning. He’s a drunk and a bully, more interested in the prestige of his dynasty – encapsulated by the music room and its portraits of his forefathers – than he is in the welfare of his family or the subjects on his land.

Ray fills the frame with significance from the very first shot: a chandelier, beautiful yet fragile, swinging perilously in a great dark space. As Roy’s power wanes, the cyclone floods move in, his influence literally diminishing; and as he sits alone in the dark – proclaiming, “I will never go downstairs again” – Ray casts a watery light on the wall, as if his protagonist is submerged by grief. There are moments of


high switching speeds because the JFET transistor is operated with majority carriers. The depletion mode JFET transistor is well known and employed commonly in a naturally on state when the gate bias is zero. Because of the naturally on state, the JFET transistors are not as widely used in the semiconductor industry as the MOSFET, e.g., the metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors. In order to make the JFET transistor operate in a naturally off state, the distance between the gates has to be reduced for the depletion regions from the gate to shut off the current conducting paths. However, such naturally off JFET transistors are not very useful in conventional configurations due to the longer current channel thus limiting the current capacity with a high on-resistance.

Different SCSI standards use the same SCSI connectors as in HVD and LVD SCSI (High Voltage Differential and Low Voltage Differential) . HVD uses 15V while LVD uses 3.3V, so connecting an HVD device to an LVD host bus adaptor can blow the line drivers on the HBA, likewise an HVD HBA connected to an LVD device.

Similarly, connecting a (slow) SE single-ended device onto a (fast) LVD SCSI chain will cause the HBA to sync down to the lowest speed.

While interconnectivity of a number of devices may look straightforward, there are many pitfalls, and with older SE devices the cabling length becomes an issue as signal degrades.

Many manufacturers have devised systems in which a SCSI disk drive or other device was placed in a small "caddy"


Following a bombing in Lahore, Pakistan, on March 27 that killed at least 52 people, Facebook activated its "Safety Check" feature, which allows people to use the social platform to let friends and loved ones know they are okay following a crisis or natural disaster.

But on Sunday, there was one problem: It appears Facebook wrongly sent Safety Check notifications to people who were never in danger, or even close to the Pakistan explosion.

Take a look. People on Twitter have been sharing screenshots of the notifications they received from Facebook.

Here's one from 22-year-old Menna Alaa, who lives in Cairo, Egypt.

Alaa told Tech Insider that she's never been to Pakistan and has never used the Safety Check feature.

And she's not the only one who experienced the glitch on Sunday. TechInsider's own Dave Mosher, who lives in New York City, received a notification; he said the notice made him wonder if someone in Pakistan had somehow compromised his account.

A quick Twitter search for "not in Pakistan Facebook" yields plenty of results from people who also received errant notifications.

Tech Insider reached out to Facebook to find out what might be causing the issue.

"We have activated Safety Check in Lahore. We apologize to anyone who mistakenly received a notification outside of Pakistan and are working to resolve the issue," a Facebook representative told TI.

This is not the first time Facebook has activated the feature this month. Earlier in March, the company used Safety Check following the terrorist attacks in Brussels.


Coal-laden trucks from Bhutan allowed passage to BangladeshSTAFF CORRESPONDENT SHILLONG, Jan 19 - Customs authorities at Dawki today allowed coal-laden trucks from Bhutan to cross over to Bangladesh after these were detained following a Supreme Court order banning transportation of coal in Meghalaya.

Altogether 16 Bhutan trucks had been detained at the Land Customs Station at Dawki since January 16 following the Supreme Court order passed on January 15.

The apex court banned transportation of coal in Meghalaya in the wake of the report of a committee, which said that illegal mining and transportation are still going on in the State.

“We released the 16 trucks after receiving an order from the Meghalaya Government today. All Bhutan trucks carrying coal will be allowed to cross over,” Superintendent of Dawki Customs, Debashishchecking trucks in West Jaintia Hills at the dead of night.

The PSO, Thmu Bait Dhar, his accomplice Chanky Lhuid and Deibormi Lyngdoh also assaulted Bhutanese truck driver Passang Dorji and Jity Kamy. Subsequently, the PSO and the other accused were arrested.

In the past few years, Bhutan coal has been in high demand in Bangladesh following the ban on coal mining in Meghalaya.

Coal is a scarce mineral in Bhutan and is found at Samdrup Jongkhar and parts of Pemagatshel district. Most of the coal is domestically consumed in the cement plants and a small amount is exported.

Bangladesh depends to a large extent on Meghalaya coal for its cement and power plants.


Rather than make a direct sequel to their bite-sized 2D action game Mighty Gunvolt from 2014, Inti Creates has made the next installment in the Mighty Gunvolt series a brand new full-sized game that features characters from multiple universes with Gunvolt (Azure Striker Gunvolt) and Beck (Mighty No. 9) taking the stage once again, but in a much deeper and more expansive world that differs greatly from the original in many ways.

The game systems have been completely revamped and powered up with lots of new additions, including a deep character customization system that lets you mold and shape your character into the ultimate hero that works best for you!

But that's not all! The new Burst Combo system rewards you for finishing off enemies and bosses up close andit was a fine spy thriller.

But I’m handing this award to Eye in the Sky, a gripping and whip-smart look at the ethics, mechanics, and international tensions of 21st century warfare. From the innocent bystanders to the drone pilots, from the politicians and bureaucrats to the generals, it feels like every last detail of this one drone strike is subject to intense scrutiny on the part of the filmmakers. The cast is exceptional, the subject matter is sublimely examined, and I was hooked through every second.

Mark D. Rutter, Carpenter, Rothans & Dumont, Los Angeles, CA; Martin Stein, Alisona rebellious child, they were arrested, and had their other children taken away from them. When a doctor confirmed that the abuse charges could not be true, the state dismissed the criminal case against them. The Humphries then petitioned the criminal court, which found them "factually innocent" of the charges for which they had been arrested, and ordered the arrest records sealed and destroyed. Similarly, the juvenile court dismissed all counts of the dependency petition as "not true."
Notwithstanding the findings of two California courts that the Humphries were "factually innocent" and the charges "not true," the Humphries were identified as "substantiated" child abusers and placed on California's Child Abuse Central Index ("the CACI"), a database of known or suspected child abusers. As the Humphries quickly learned, California offers


regulations that provide additional regulatory procedures for challenging a listing on the CACI or the validity of the underlying report. To the contrary, the CA DOJ explicitly "presumes that the substance of the information provided is accurate and does not conduct a separate investigation to verify the accuracy of the investigation conducted by the submitting agency." CAL. CODE REGS. tit. 11, § 904 (2008).

B. The Humphries' Nightmare

The Humphries' nightmarish encounter with the CANRA system began on March 17, 2001, when S.H., Craig's fifteen year-old daughter from a previous marriage, took their car and drove to her biological mother's home in Utah. S.H. had previously lived in Utah with her biological mother and stepfather and their three younger children. In June 2000, S.H's biological mother called Craig and saidshe wanted S.H. to live with the Humphries in Valencia, California, on a trial basis. The night of March 17, S.H. took the Humphries' car without their knowledge, drove to her mother's home in Utah, and reported that the Humphries had been abusing her for several months. An emergency room physician diagnosed "non-accidental trauma, with extremity contusions."

1. The Humphries' Arrest and Inclusion in the CACI
Based on an investigation from the Utah police, the victim's statement, and emergency room records describing the victim's allegations, on April 11, 2001, Michael L. Wilson, a detective for the Family Crimes Bureau of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department ("LASD"), obtained probable cause warrants to arrest the Humphries for cruelty to a child, CAL. PENAL CODE § 273a(a), and torture, id. § 206.


On April 16, Detective Wilson, accompanied by fellow detective Charles Ansberry, arrested Craig and Wendy Humphries, and booked them on the single charge of felony torture under California Penal Code § 206. The same day, a Sheriff's deputy, without a warrant, picked up the Humphries' two other children from their schools and placed them in protective custody.[3] Both children denied any fear of abuse or mistreatment and indicated their desire to return home. Custody of the children was then transferred to the County Department of Children and Family Services, which placed the children in foster care.
On April 17, 2001, the day after the Humphries were arrested, Detective Wilson completed a child abuse investigation report identifying the Humphries' case as a "substantiated report" of child abuse.[4] Pursuant to CANRA,was dismissed "would not negate the entries" into the CACI.
In October 2003, the CA DOJ asked LASD to complete a confirmation questionnaire regarding the Humphries' CACI listing. The questionnaire was answered by a civilian clerical worker who confirmed that the report was still "substantiated" as of October 31, 2003. Despite the fact that two independent California tribunals had found that the allegations underlying the Humphries' CACI listing were "not true" and that the Humphries are "factually innocent," the CA DOJ continues to list the Humphries in the CACI as substantiated child abusers. Furthermore, because the Humphries were listed pursuant to a "substantiated report," they will remain listed on the CACI indefinitely.
In addition to the harm already dealt to the Humphries' reputation by appearing on a list of actual


place all of the students in a child care program licensed by the state of California. To enroll in these classes, all potential students must pay for and submit to a CACI check.

4. Procedural History
The Humphries initiated this action in federal district court on August 27, 2002. The Humphries' First Amended Complaint originally included eight counts based on state and federal claims, but on April 14, 2003, the district court dismissed all the state law counts on a Rule 12(b)(6) motion. In the remaining three claims, the Humphries sought relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. They alleged that three actions by California officials deprived them of various rights under the United States Constitution: the Humphries' arrest and incarceration, the Humphries' initial and continued inclusion in CACI, andthe seizure and subsequent placement of the Humphries' children in temporary protective custody.
*1184 The Humphries sought three types of relief based on these claims. The Humphries demanded damages for the constitutional violations resulting from the government's conduct. In addition to damages, on the allegations related to the Humphries' listing on the CACI, the Humphries sought an injunction ordering the County of Los Angeles to notify the CA DOJ that LASD's report to the CACI is unfounded, and to prohibit the State from retaining or disclosing the CACI records on the Humphries based on any report from LASD. The Humphries also sought a judicial declaration that CANRA and the County's and State's CACI-related policies are unconstitutional because they provide no means for people, such as the Humphries, to dispute


or expunge their CACI listing or to prevent disclosures of the listing and related records.
Appellees, the County of Los Angeles, Sheriff Leroy D. Baca, and Detectives Wilson and Ansberry ("County Appellees") and California Attorney General Bill Lockyer ("State") (collectively "Appellees"), moved for summary judgment on all claims. The district court denied Appellees' motion for summary judgment on the § 1983 claim regarding the warrantless seizure of the children, but granted Appellees' motion for summary judgment on the § 1983 claim arising out of the Humphries' initial and continued inclusion in the CACI, as well as the § 1983 claim arising out of the Humphries' arrest and incarceration. The Humphries appeal the grant of summary judgment with regard to their claims relating to their inclusion in the CACI, arguingThe horror deepens when such abuse occurs at the hands of the parents, who have an obligation to protect their children. See id. at 1013 (Bybee, J., dissenting) ("Our recognition that the victim's vulnerability or intimate relationship with her victimizer can render an act inherently base or vile simply reflects contemporary American mores.").

intelligence turned the spotlight off just in time for them to piece together the worst terror attack in France in decades? Who is it French intelligence considers “high risk” and isn’t immediately arresting?

The UK Mirror in an article titled, “Paris shootings: Listen to terrorist Amedy Coulibaly’s bizarre conversation with hostage during supermarket siege,” quoted Kouachi as saying:

We are just telling you we are the defenders of the prophet and that I Chérif Kouachi have been sent by Al Qaida of Yemen and that I went over there and that Anwar Al Awaki financed me.

Not only was Anwar Al Awlaki a senior leader in Al Qaeda, he also infamously spent dinner with top brass at the Pentagon shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks in Washington, New York, andover Pennsylvania.

CBS News would report in their article, “Qaeda-Linked Imam Dined at Pentagon after 9/11,” that:

Anwar al-Awlaki – the radical spiritual leader linked to several 9/11 attackers, the Fort Hood shooting, and the attempted Christmas Day bombing of an airliner – was a guest at the Pentagon in the months after 9/11, a Pentagon official confirmed to CBS News.

Awlaki was invited as “…part of an informal outreach program” in which officials sought contact “…with leading members of the Muslim community,” the official said. At that time, Awlaki was widely viewed as a “moderate” imam at a mosque in Northern Virginia.

At the same time, the FBI was also interviewing Awlaki about his contacts with three of the 9/11 attackers – Nawaf al-Hazmi, Khalid al Midhar and Hani Hanjour –


who were all part of the crew of five that hijacked the American Airlines jet that hit the Pentagon.

Image: Just another coincidence … Senior Al Qaeda leader Anwar Al Awlaki

was clicking glasses together at the Pentagon with American military brass

just months after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Also, “coincidentally,” he had in

fact met at least one of the several alleged hijackers. He also, just before

being liquidated by a US drone attack in 2011, allegedly funded the terror cell

responsible for the recent Paris shootings.

Indeed, Anwar Al Awlaki would admit to having met Hazmi – in yet another incident the general public is supposed to believe is simply an astonishing coincidence.

The list of “coincidences” and “accidents” is so far impressive and include the following:

1. French authorities arrested and imprisoned ChérifKouachi and brother Said would be implicated in another terrorist plot again in 2010 but were not prosecuted due to a lack of evidence. The BBC in their report titled, “Charlie Hebdo attack: Suspects’ profiles,” would state:

In 2010 Cherif Kouachi was named in connection with a plot to spring another Islamist, Smain Ait Ali Belkacem, from jail – a plot hatched by Beghal, according to French anti-terror police.

Belkacem used to be in the outlawed Algerian Islamic Armed Group (GIA) and was jailed for life in 2002 for a Paris metro station bombing in 1995 which injured 30 people.

Said Kouachi, 34, was also named in the Belkacem plot, but the brothers were not prosecuted because of a lack of evidence.

3. With French intelligence agencies’ knowledge, the Kouachi brothers would


then travel to Yemen in 2011, receiving weapons training directly from Al Qaeda. CNN’s report titled, “France tells U.S. Paris suspect trained with al Qaeda in Yemen,” would report:

A U.S. official says the United States was given information from the French intelligence agency that Said Kouachi traveled to Yemen as late as 2011 on behalf of the al Qaeda affiliate there. Once in Yemen, the older brother of the two received a variety of weapons training from al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) — the affiliate in Yemen — the official said, including on how to fire weapons. It is also possible Said was trained in bomb making, a common jihadist training in Yemen. Two other U.S. officials confirmed that information about the Yemeni travel was passedto the U.S. from French intelligence agencies. In addition, French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour in an interview broadcast on CNN International that one of the brothers traveled to Yemen in 2005. Taubira would not say which brother.

Admissions that one of the brothers had traveled to Yemen in 2005, suggests the possibility he may indeed have received weapons training from Al Qaeda before his arrest and imprisonment later that same year.

4. It was reported that the brothers then fought in Syria before returning last summer, approximately 6 months ago. USA Today would report in an article titled, “Manhunt continues for two French terror suspects,” that:

The brothers were born in Paris of Algerian descent. Cherif was sentenced to three years in prison on terrorism charges in

The opinion of the court was delivered by

        BEIER, J.: This appeal examines summary judgment granted to a title company on
negligence and breach of fiduciary duty claims, which arose out of the company's 2008
omission of a reserved mineral interest in a deed and its handling of a 2014 conveyance.
The district court judge ruled that the claims were launched too late.

nor any other representative of the Trust asked RCAT about the
mineral reservation before Gregory and Julie executed the deed. The deed was filed and
recorded in Rice County on January 18, 2008.

                                              3
       After the Trust's sale of the land to Dean, the Trust transferred what all concerned
believed was still its mineral interest to the Trust's beneficiaries. The beneficiaries, in
turn, made several additional transfers of the interest among themselves, executing and
recording mineral deeds and quitclaims with the Rice


County Register of Deeds. On
March 6, 2008, Dean conveyed his interest in the property to SDM Properties2, LLC
(SDM2), evidently an entity owned, at least in part, by Dean.

       From January 2008 until August 2014, the Trust and then its successors in interest
continued to be paid royalties for mineral production from the land sold to Dean. The
Trust and then its successors in interest also continued to pay all property taxes associated
with that production.

       In April 2014, LCL, LLC, a company formed by Ron Laudick and Cheryl
Armstrong, agreed to buy the property from SDM2. Before this conveyance was
finalized, Laudick sent Dean an e-mail acknowledging "that the mineral rights do not go
with the property."

      RCAT again acted as the closing agent and title insurer for the 2014 transaction.
Again, the deed prepared to record the conveyance did not note the Trust's 2008 mineral
right reservation.

       After the 2014 sale closed, Laudick contacted RCAT about the mineral rights on
the property. He asked about the discrepancy between Dean's understanding of the
ownership and RCAT's title commitment. RCAT conducted a title search and discovered
that the 2008 deed had not included the reservation of the Trust's mineral interest. RCAT
did not contact the Trust or its successors in interest, but it asked LCL to sign a corrected
deed to remedy the omission. LCL refused. The Trust's successors in interest first learned
of the brewing dispute in August 2014, when the company operating the oil and


Wesolowski. LCL asserted that its interest in the mineral rights was
superior to the interest claimed by any defendant.

       On December 1, 2014, the Falens filed an answer denying LCL's ownership of the
mineral interest and a counterclaim to quiet title in their favor, based in part on the
assertion that LCL did not qualify as a bona fide purchaser because it had actual notice
that the mineral right was not included with the land. The same day, the Falens also filed
a third-party petition against RCAT, alleging RCAT had been negligent and had breached
an implied contract by failing to include the mineral reservation in the deed it prepared
and recorded for the 2008 sale.

       RCAT moved for summary judgment on thenot qualify
as subsequent purchasers, the Falens argued, they were not in the class of individuals
whom the Legislature intended to charge with constructive notice under K.S.A. 58-2222.

        The district judge bifurcated the quiet title action between LCL and the Falens
from the Falens' third-party claims against RCAT. LCL and the Falens entered into a
confidential settlement, and the judge dismissed the quiet title action on November 23,
2015.

15
       The Falens suffered a substantial injury on January 18, 2008, because
demonstrating the existence of a mutual mistake justifying reformation of a deed is bound
to be a costly process. In addition, although there is ample evidence in this case that the
2008 deed's failure to reserve the mineral right was the product of the mutual mistake of
the Trust and Dean, the Falens' ability to seek reformation faced a five-year deadline. See
K.S.A. 60-511(5). Thus the Falens' substantial, actionable 2008 injury was compounded
on January 18, 2013, when their equitable cause of action for reformation would no doubt
face a statute of limitations problem of its own, possibly one that would sap its legal
potency.

       This brings us to the second question:of its
content. This genuine issue of material fact prevented summary judgment on RCAT's
actual notice theory.

       Instead, the district judge relied on RCAT's "should have known" argument that
substantial injury to the Trust and the Falens was reasonably ascertainable on January 18,
2008. RCAT persuaded the district judge that the constructive notice provision in K.S.A.
58-2222 was controlling. That statute provides:

               "Every . . . instrument [conveying real estate] in writing, certified and
       recorded . . . shall, from the time of filing the same with the register of deeds for record,
       impart notice to all persons of the contents


Hutto and Armstrong. The significance of the
transfers among the Trust's beneficiaries after the 2008 sale also must be considered. In
short, the constructive notice of K.S.A. 58-2222—which is about notice to the world, not
to the parties to the real estate conveyance recorded via the instrument—tells only a part
of a story still with two competitive sides. The statute is not, as a matter of law, outcome-
determinative on what remains a question of fact.

       For these reasons, we reverse the summary judgment granted RCAT by the district
judge on the Falens' negligence claim. We do so for reasons other than those relied on by
the Court of Appeals panel. The filing and recording of the 2008 deed did cause the
Falens substantial, actionable injury, which means the injuryfor a breach of fiduciary duty claim also is the same as that for a negligence
claim. See K.S.A. 60-513(a)(4). The Trust and the Falens had two years to act on RCAT's
alleged breach.

       It appears that the district judge's summary judgment in favor of RCAT on the
Falens' breach of fiduciary duty claim was based on a fundamental misunderstanding of
the breadth of the allegations underlying it. It was not, as the judge apparently believed,
based only on allegations about RCAT's behavior in 2008 but also on allegations about
RCAT's behavior in 2014. As recited in the Falens' amended third-party petition, RCAT,
in 2014,

       "failed to appropriately conduct the title search with respect to the Subject Real Property,


2008
continued or was repeated, in the Falens' view, in 2014. Although any breach that
occurred in 2014 may be successfully defensible on other grounds not argued before us
today, it is simply not excusable from further litigation in this case because of the statute
of limitations. The Falens moved to amend their third-party petition to add the breach of
fiduciary duty claim on October 5, 2015; and the district judge treated the amended
pleading as controlling. Its timing, regardless of whether the amended allegations and
additional cause of action related back to the filing of the original third-party petition on
December 1, 2014, mean the claim was brought well within the permitted two years
following any 2014 breach. We therefore reverse the district judge's summary judgment

French President Emmanuel Macron, second right, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel lay a wreath of flowers during a ceremony in Compiegne, north of Paris, Saturday, Nov. 10, 2018. The leaders of France and Germany have held an intimate commemoration at the site north of Paris where the vanquished Germans and victorious but exhausted Allies put an end to the First World War.

Paris: US President Donald Trump and his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, sought on Saturday to ease tensions caused by a defence row that risked clouding the First World War centenary commemorations in Paris.

Trump was one of dozens of world leaders taking part in events to mark the 100th anniversary of


the end of the war.

On Saturday, he and his wife, Melania, cancelled a trip to Belleau Wood battlefield and cemetery in northern France, citing "scheduling and logistical difficulties" caused by the rainy weather.

Coming on the eve of Veteran's Day in the United States, the decision drew criticism on social media, where many noted that the rain had not stopped Macron, Germany's Angela Merkel or Canada's Justin Trudeau from paying their re-spects to the dead.

"They died with their face to the foe and that pathetic inadequate @realDonaldTrump couldn't even defy the weather to pay his respects to The Fallen," Nicholas Soames, a British Conservative member of parliament and grandson of Winston Churchill tweeted.

Ceremonies have been held across the world this week in honour of the 18 million soldiers andcivilians who perished in the First World War.

Playing down divisions

In one of the high points, Macron and Chancellor Merkel on Saturday unveiled a plaque to the Franco-German recon-ciliation in the forest clearing in northeast France where the armistice ending the conflict was signed.

Macron, a centrist advocate of open borders and multilateralism, has repeatedly invoked the war in recent weeks to hammer home his message that rising nationalism is again destabilising the world.

He will host Trump, Merkel, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau, among others, for dinner at Orsay Museum on Sunday evening.

On Sunday morning, they will be joined by President Vladimir Putin of Russia for the main ceremony at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Paris, which will draw in 70 world leaders.

On


Saturday, Macron and Trump downplayed their divisions after a tumultuous start to the weekend, which saw Trump fire off a tweet slamming Macron's proposals for a European army just as his plane was touching down in Paris.

The spat was the latest between Trump and Macron, who struck up a warm relationship initially but have clashed over a growing list of issues, including Trump's decision to pull the US out of the 2015 Paris climate accord and the Iran nuclear deal.

'Very insulting'

"President Macron of France has just suggested that Europe build its own military in order to protect itself from the US, China and Russia," the US president tweeted, referring to remarks made by Macron in an interview three days earlier.

"Very insulting, but perhaps Europe should first pay itsfair share of NATO, which the US subsidizes greatly!" he added.

In the interview, Macron had cited Trump's plans to pull the US out of a Cold War-era nuclear treaty and said a joint European Union force was needed to end Europe's reliance on US military might.

"We have to protect ourselves with respect to China, Russia and even the United States," he said, listing various threats including cyberattacks.

During talks later at the Elysee Palace Macron said his call for greater European autonomy on defence was not intend-ed as a snub towards the US and backed Trump's calls for EU members to boost their defence spending.

"We need a much better burden-sharing within NATO," he said, patting his counterpart's knee affectionately.

Trump described himself and Macron as "very good friends" and expressed


support for "a strong Europe".

The US leader has however ducked out of a peace conference Sunday in Paris, which Macron and Merkel intend to use as a platform for promoting multilateralism.

Franco-German reconciliation

The First World War commemorations come at a watershed moment for the liberal post-war order, with anti-immigration populists at the helm in the US and Brazil, sharing power in Italy, and making strong gains in Germany, where Merkel has announced her resignation in 2021 after a series of electoral setbacks.

On Saturday, she visited the site of Germany's capitulation at the end of the First World War, the first German leader to do in 78 years.

The forest in Compiegne is doubly symbolic as Adolf Hitler chose the same train carriage in the same clearing to sign the surrenderof the French on June 22, 1940 at the start of the Second World War.

Macron, sporting a cornflower in his lapel - the French equivalent to Britain's remembrance poppy - and Merkel re-viewed grey-clad soldiers from the Franco-German brigade, before unveiling a plaque to Franco-German reconcilia-tion.

They also visited a replica of the carriage which was destroyed during the Second World War.

The visit underscored the close ties between two countries that fought three wars between 1870 and 1945 but are now seen as the lynchpins of peace in Western Europe.

inland.

Indeed, being an island, all operations beyond our shores are expeditionary and demand theatre entry. Strike carriers and amphibious forces are the enablers for this theatre entry capability. The true fighting power of a navy is its ability to ensure entry around the world using carrier air and amphibious forces and to cause sea denial using carrier air and SSNs.

Since 1945 this entry capability has been used over 10 times including Korea, Suez, Kuwait (1962) pre-empting Iraqi planned invasion, Brunei, Falkland Islands, Sierra Leone and the Al Faw. And the Royal Marines have been in almost continuous operations consisting of 30 different campaigns.”

American General Ben Hodges, commander of the US Army in Europe, has said that he was worried that British forces were already stretched too far. TheGeneral was quoted in the Financial Times as saying:

“British forces have global commitments right now. Any reduction in capability means you cannot sustain those commitments. That creates a gap. I don’t know what the magic number is, but I do know that we need the capability that the British army provides, and any reduction in that causes a problem for the alliance as well as for the United States.”

Hodges served as a battalion executive officer with the 101st Airborne before becoming Aide-de-camp to the Supreme Allied Commander Europe in August 1995. He became a battalion commander in the 101st Airborne in 1997. He was Congressional Liaison Officer at the Office of the Chief of Legislative Liaison between 1999 and 2000.

Working class voters feel that the Labour Party no longer understands them or their concerns, a Labour frontbencher has warned.

"They don't feel that anyone listens to them, never mind speaks for them," opposition whip Conor McGinn said.

He said the challenge facing leader, and Islington MP, Jeremy Corbyn was to relate to the rest of the UK.

Mr McGinn also warned that Labour could lose votes if it adopted an anti-nuclear weapons stance.

A review of the party's defence policy is under way. The Labour leader opposes Britain's Trident nuclear weapons system, but many of his MPs support its renewal.

Mr McGinn, who falls in to the latter category, warned: "Defence might not win you a lot of votes, but it can definitely lose you a lot of votesfrom the public."

Image copyright EPA Image caption Mr McGinn said Mr Corbyn (pictured) needed to relate to voters across the UK - not just in Islington

He also set out what he saw as the "challenge" for Mr Corbyn, who after 30 years as a backbench MP representing the London constituency of Islington North was elected party leader in September 2015.

"I love London, and it's a fantastic city, and Islington is a great place," he said, "but it's not like the rest of the country".

"I think the challenge for Jeremy having been an MP for 30-odd years for a seat like Islington, is how he relates to the rest of the country," he added.

The MP also said many people wanted a secure job with a decent wage that enabled

"By sea?" The ship-master jerked his thumb toward the _Avventura_. "Talk to Wiskich; he is a Dilk and a madman, with the seamanship of a Blue Mountain sheep. Pay him terces enough and he will sail to Jehane itself."

"This I know for a fact," said Cugel. "Certain cargoes of value arrive at Port Perdusz from Saskervoy, and are then trans-shipped to Almery."

The ship-master listened with little interest. "Most likely they move by caravan, such as Yadcomo's or Varmous'. Or, for all I know, Wiskich sails them south in the _Avventura_. All Dilks are mad. They think they will live forever and ignore danger. Their ships carry mast-head lamps so that, whencabins, while you and Clissum will share the double cabin. All problems are thereby solved, so let the maidens come forth."

Doctor Lalanke said dubiously: "That is the nub of the matter! They will not come! Cugel tried twice to put them out; twice they ejected him instead."

Ivanello, lounging to the side, said: "And a most entertaining spectacle it was! Cugel came flying out as if he were trying to leap a wide ditch."

Doctor Lalanke said: "They probably misunderstood Cugel's intentions. I suggest that the three of us enter together. Varmous, you may go first, then I will follow and Cugel can bring up the rear. Allow me to make the signs."

The three entered the cabin to find the maidens seated demurely on the bunk. Doctor Lalanke made a


Captain Wiskich evidently had picked up the trail of the vessel and had come in hot pursuit to recover his property.

Cugel quietly departed the common room and went in search of Varmous, who, as it happened, was also on the look-out for Cugel. They met in front of the inn. Varmous wanted to drink beer in the common room, but Cugel led him across the avenue to a bench from which they could watch the sun set into Lake Zaol.

Presently the _Avventura_ was mentioned and with surprising ease agreement was reached. Varmous paid over two hundred and fifty terces for full title to the vessel.

The two parted on the best of terms. Varmous went off to locate the fishermen, while Cugel, disguising himself in a hooded cloak andCoinDesk is proud to present our 4th annual blockchain technology summit, May 14-16, 2018 at the New York Hilton Midtown.

Dale Brink, 23, fell in love with 21-year-old Hannah Whetton while she was still biologically male, and stood by her as she transformed into the woman she always wanted to be.

But Dale, from Doncaster, South Yorks, feels that his mother and brother won't understand the bond he shares with his partner of 18 months.

Dale Brink (right) fell in love with girlfriend Hannah Whetton (left) when she was still biologically a man. Now Hannah has undergone gender reassignment surgery to become the woman she always felt she was

The couple from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, reckon their experiences have only made their bond stronger, despite keeping Hannah's secret from


his parents

He said: 'They wouldn't understand our love. It's hard, but sadly I don't think they'll change.'

Hannah, who was born Aaron, began her transition into womanhood five years ago, and has spent £13,000 on gender reassignment surgery.

Dale, who's a waiter, met and fell in love with Hannah 18 months ago, and the pair quickly became an item - before she had fully completed her gender transition.

Hannah said: 'It's hard because every girl wants to be introduced to their future mother and father-in-law, but for us it's not an option.

'I know Dale doesn't hide me away because he's ashamed of me, it's more because he is trying to protect me.

'We are realistic that although we live in the 21st century, transgender is still hard for older generations to gettheir heads around.'

Dale says of his family: 'They wouldn't understand our love. It's hard, but sadly I don't think they'll change'

Hannah was born as a boy named Aaron, but she has known she wanted to be a girl since she was five

Hannah splashed out £3,200 on a nose job abroad to make her face more feminine and has invested £3,000 in her wardrobe of clothes for her new life.

She has known she wanted to be a girl since she was just five years old, but she waited ten years before finally telling her mother Carol, 46, a cleaner.

She said: 'When I was five I remember sitting in the bath with my older sister and noticing we had different bits, but I felt like a girl too.

'Even though I


was young, I felt exactly the same as my sister and believed I was a girl. So our physical differences confused me.'

Hannah says that when she started senior school, all her friends were girls and she was constantly battered with 'gay boy' and other slurs by class bullies.

In 2010, when she was 16, she started dressing as a woman and in May 2011 started taking female hormones

Hannah and her heterosexual boyfriend Dale met and 'immediately clicked' on a night out in January last year

She said: 'I never fancied anyone when I was male because the thought of being with someone repulsed me.

'I think because I wasn't comfortable in myself, I couldn't even entertain the idea of being with someone else.

'I always just told everyone I was asexual.'

In February2010, when she was 16, she started dressing as a woman and in May 2011 started taking female hormones.

A few months later her face rounded and she started to notice her hips for the first time.

Hannah and Dale met and 'immediately clicked' on a night out in January last year, and the pair quickly became an item.

Although the pair soon became intimate, Hannah admits she refused to remove her underwear over shame of her male body.

Hannah said she hopes to have children with Dale one day. 'We have nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to hide,' she added

But in July 2014, Hannah had the £13,000 gender reassignment surgery on the NHS at Parkside Hospital in London - months after she started dating Dale.

Dale said: 'Hannah is the


Axed WRC star Kris Meeke will return to the international rally arena at next month’s Rallylegend (11 - 14 October) event in San Marino.

The Northern Ireland driver has been out of action since Citroën Racing dropped him from its WRC line-up in May following a massive accident at Vodafone Rally de Portugal.

Meeke was today (Thursday) confirmed for the popular asphalt encounter which spotlights classic WRC cars from the past. He will be partnered by regular safety crew member Derek Brannigan.

It will be decided shortly whether they will take part in the competitive event or appear in the Legend Stars show in a Subaru formerly driven by Colin McRae. The Scot won the 1995 world championship and was a mentor to Meeke in the early days of his career.
