Blizzard North started out as Condor Games in September 1993. The first contracts we landed were ports of Acclaim's Quarterback Club football games for handheld systems and, more significantly, a Sega Genesis version of Justice League Task Force for Sunsoft. Silicon and Synapse, a developer that would later change its name to Blizzard Entertainment, was developing a Super Nintendo version of Justice League Task Force. Condor ended up pitching the idea for Diablo to Blizzard, and halfway through the resulting development process Blizzard's parent companyacquired Condor, renaming us Blizzard North. Throughout a tangled history of corporate juggling and ownership changes, Blizzard North has remained a very independent group. Our staff has grown steadily from about 12 at the start of Diablo to 24 at the start of Diablo II, and finally to our current group of more than 40. We concentrate 100 percent of our efforts on game development. To help keep this focus, Blizzard's headquarters in Irvine manages other functions, such as quality assurance, marketing, public relations, technical and customer support, as well as the operation of the Battle.net servers. Our parent company, Havas Interactive, deals with business functions such as sales, manufacturing, and accounting.

In February 3, 1960, together with surgeon Roberto Rubio, he successfully implanted a pacemaker built by the Rune Elmqvist team. The implant was conducted on a young patient who suffered from atrial-ventricular blocks, and persistent cardiac strokes. The procedure, which was carried on in the CASMU 1 hospital in Montevideo, was the first of its kind in America.

provides: "An order terminating an action pursuant to this chapter ... is a bar to any other prosecution for the same offense if it is a felony ... and the action has been previously terminated pursuant to this chapter...."
The essential issue presented is whether a dismissal of a complaint in one county for lack of jurisdiction because the crime charged occurred in another county is a dismissal within the parameters of section 1387.

FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
As disclosed by a declaration in support of an arrest warrant filed in San Joaquin County, on April 6, 1984, an undercover agent met several individuals at the intersection of Highway 26 and Hogan Dam Road to buy methamphetamine. Petitioner was alleged to be one of the drug sellers. She and two othermatter will be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
"[DEFENSE COUNSEL]: Thank you, Your Honor."
The preprinted docket sheet reflects this decision with checks in the boxes indicating a dismissal in the interest of justice, with a second check in the box marked "other" with the comment "lack of jurisdiction  not proper county."
A complaint charging petitioner with possession and possession for sale of methamphetamine had been filed in Cala- veras County the preceding month, October 1984. The offenses were alleged to have occurred in Calaveras County in August 1984 and were unrelated to the San Joaquin sale charge. After the second San Joaquin County complaint was dismissed, the Calaveras complaint was amended to add two counts, a misdemeanor violation of Business and Professions Code section 4143 (illegal possession of a


hypodermic needle and syringe) and the April 6, 1984, sale of methamphetamine, the same transaction which formed the basis for the San Joaquin County complaints.
After a preliminary examination, the Calaveras Justice Court held petitioner to answer on only the last two charges which had been added by amendment and an information issued charging petitioner with the sale of methamphetamine on April 6, 1984 (count I) and a violation of Business and Professions Code section 4143 in August 1984 (count II). Petitioner pled not guilty and moved to set aside the information as to count I on the ground it was barred by the two previous dismissals of the same charge in San Joaquin County. The court denied the motion, finding inter alia that the earlier dismissals were notand suffer a section 1008 dismissal following demurrer is but one of the options available to the prosecutor where a complaint has been filed in the wrong county. Another option, noted by the majority, would have been transfer of the case at an earlier occasion pursuant to section 827.
The authority to transfer a complaint and arrest warrant under section 827 from the county in which a defendant is found to the county of appropriate venue gives a prosecutor the opportunity to have a case transferred without suffering dismissal at an early stage of the criminal proceedings. This procedural device also protects the defendant from extended proceedings in the wrong county.
Alternatively, the prosecution could have procured the filing of charges in Calaveras County before again moving for dismissal in


Alexander Cartwright Facts

Contrary to the official myth about the origin of the sport, Alexander Cartwright (1820-1898) is the man who should be credited with doing the most to invent the modern game of baseball. In 1845, Cartwright laid out the key rules of the game, including the dimensions of the field. He was enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame even as baseball's
establishment propagated a myth that Civil War General Abner Doubleday invented baseball.

In 1846, Cartwright and other members of the Knickerbocker Base Ball Club played the first recognized baseball game in Hoboken, New Jersey, at a park called the Elysian Fields. Cartwright later traveled west across the United States, spreading the game as far as California and Hawaii. But during his lifetime he was never properlycredited by organized baseball for his pioneering efforts.

From Rounders to Base Ball

Baseball, commonly called America's national pastime, was adapted from a British game known as "rounders." Rounders was a simplified offshoot of cricket, and it was played primarily by children in Britain and in the British colonies of North America in the 1700s (and later in the United States in the 1800s). It was also sometimes called "base ball." Adults in some colonies, such as Massachusetts, played a version known as "town ball." In all these pick-up games, a pitcher threw a ball, an opponent used a stick or bat to strike it, and then the hitter attempted to run to one or more bases. Runners were "put out" when fielders threw the ball and hit them; this


was called "soaking." There were few if any standard rules to the game, and the number of players on a team, the number of bases, and the distances between the bases were largely a matter of local custom or pre-game negotiations.

Alexander Cartwright was born in New York City on April 17, 1820. After leaving school at the age of 16, he became a clerk at a bank. Later on, he also became a volunteer fireman. In the evenings, Cartwright joined other young New York businessmen, lawyers and doctors who got together to play a version of rounders. Their sport came to be known as the "New York game" to distinguish it from the "Massachusetts game" of "town ball."

For several years, Cartwright belonged to a group called the NewYork Base Ball Club. In 1845, some members of that group joined with others and organized a new group, the Knickerbocker Club. Cartwright was appointed secretary and vice-president of the club when it wrote down a formal constitution in September of that year.

Codified Rules of the Game

Cartwright took a leadership role in suggesting to other members of the Knickerbocker Club that they write down a set of rules for the game they played. Up until then the traditions of the game had been passed down orally but never codified. Cartwright was one of four members who decided upon 14 written rules. The dimensions of Madison Square, where the Knickerbocker Club most often played, necessitated the most important rules. One rule eliminated the circular field common to cricket and


established fair and foul territory. The club members limited the number of bases to four (including home plate), fixed them in the shape of a diamond, and set them 90 feet apart. Cartwright and the other Knickerbocker rule makers also outlawed the practice of soaking, because they considered it rude and ungentle-manly. The more genteel activities of tagging a runner with the ball, or getting the ball to a base before a runner reached that base, became the accepted ways to retire a runner.

Cartwright later was credited with instituting two other key rule changes: setting the number of players at nine for each side, and fixing the length of a game at nine innings. But baseball historians dispute whether Cartwright and the other Knickerbocker rule makers really shouldbe credited with these innovations. For the first several years of their existence, the Knickerbockers usually played with eight men-three infielders (one standing near each base), three outfielders, a pitcher and a catcher. In other games they used 9, 10 or even 12 players. The position of shortstop apparently was not solidified until 1849, when it was established as a means of relaying throws from the outfield to the infield. (The ball used at the time was so light that players could not throw it all the way in from the outfield with one throw.) As far as the length of the game, it was not until 1857 that a convention of ball players decided upon nine innings; up until then, the first team to score 21 runs


was generally the winner.

Elysian Fields to Hawaii

Once the Knickerbockers had agreed upon their rules, they began advertising for games. Their first opponent was a team called the New York Nine. On June 19, 1846, the teams traveled from Manhattan across the Hudson River to Hoboken, New Jersey, and played the first recognized baseball game at a park known as the Elysian Fields. Cartwright,
who wrote in his diary that he was one of the best Knickerbocker players, did not play in the first game. Instead, he served as umpire and collected a six-cent fine from any player who used profanity. Ironically, the Knickerbockers lost the game, under the rules they had invented, by the decisive score of 23 to 1.

Cartwright remained with the Knickerbockers for four more years, duringwhich the team played many other games with the New York Nine and other local clubs. Records of the games and of Cartwright's play are unavailable. Under the leadership of Cartwright and the other Knickerbockers, baseball soon became a favorite pastime for many young New York men. In those years it was not played by factory workers (who had no time or energy after their 12-hour or longer days) but mainly by clerks, attorneys, physicians and businessmen who had time after work to play in the late afternoons.

By early 1949, Cartwright, like thousands of other Americans, came down with a bad case of gold fever after hearing of the discoveries of gold in California. On March 1, he headed west, never to return to New York. As he


journeyed across the country by train, by wagon and by foot, he took the game of baseball with him. Like the legendary Johnny Appleseed, Cartwright spread seeds for the sport that had become so popular in a few eastern cities. Among his stops was Cincinnati, which would be a cornerstone of the National League when it was formed in 1876. He made his way across the Great Plains and taught the sport of baseball to locals in many places. In August he arrived in San Francisco, but by then the great gold rush was over.

Cartwright remained in San Francisco for six weeks, hoping that he still might strike gold somewhere. During that time he helped to establish the game of baseball in that city. He finally decided toreturn to New York, this time on a ship sailing across the Pacific, Indian and Atlantic oceans. But he fell ill and was put ashore in Hawaii, then known as the Sandwich Islands.

Cartwright recovered from his illness and fell in love with the islands. He began teaching the islanders how to play baseball and forming local leagues. As a result of his activity, baseball became firmly established in Honolulu well before it was introduced to cities such as Detroit and Chicago. Back in New York City, the Knickerbockers and other clubs continued to play, and the game soon became popular all around the country. During the Civil War, troops played baseball during breaks in combat.

Cartwright's wife and children joined him in 1851. He founded the Honolulu Fire Department


and served as the city's fire chief for ten years. Cartwright set up a number of businesses and became a wealthy man as well as a civic leader. He served in several government positions, and helped to establish the islands' library system and one of its foremost hospitals.

Cartwright never returned to the mainland to witness the spread of the game that he was so instrumental in popularizing. He died in Honolulu on July 12, 1898— largely unknown to the outside world. The first diamond he laid out is now called Cartwright Field. His grave has been visited by many famous baseball players, including Babe Ruth.

The Doubleday Myth

Cartwright's place in baseball history was ignored for many decades. In the mid-1930s, the National Baseball Hall of Fame was opened inCooperstown, New York. A commission of high-ranking baseball officials was set up to determine who should be credited with inventing the game. The real history of the sport was largely lost, but the commission was eager to discredit any link to the British sport of cricket. The commission fixated on an apocryphal story involving a Civil War hero, General Abner Doubleday. According to a myth that the leaders of baseball sanctioned, Doubleday invented baseball in a cow pasture in Cooperstown in 1838. Since the Hall of Fame was set to open in 1938, the story was a convenient fabrication—it posited that the museum was located in the birthplace of baseball, and that its opening would be a centennial. The commission ignored facts about baseball's true origins because it


was determined that a genuine American hero be credited with inventing the national pastime.

When Cartwright's descendants heard about the Doubleday story, they registered a protest. Cartwright's grandson gave the Hall of Fame his grandfather's diaries as well as news clippings and other items that substantiated the role of Cartwright and the Knickerbockers in codifying many of the game's most important rules. However, the newspapers of the era carefully toed the official line because so much publicity had already been disseminated about Doubleday. So the public came to believe that Doubleday invented baseball. In fact, the general's connection to baseball was so tenuous that most historians believe he never even attended a game.

With little fanfare, Cartwright was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1939. His plaque characterizes himas the "Father of Modern Base Ball." Doubleday, however, was never enshrined in the Hall of Fame. Yet baseball's officials never took any other action to recant the Doubleday myth. The fabrication took on the status of received truth. The field at Cooperstown is still called Doubleday Field. And more than 60 years later, most Americans continued to believe that Doubleday was baseball's inventor.

The truth is more complicated. No single person invented baseball. It was adapted from rounders and gradually shaped into a distinctive American sport. But as a leader of the Knickerbockers, the man who first set down rules in writing, and the game's first traveling ambassador, Alexander Cartwright fully deserves credit as baseball's founding father.

O’Sullivan began working at the Police Department in January 2018 as a community service officer before she entered the police academy as a recruit. She graduated in December and began working in the field with a training officer.

She was nearing the end of her training and was set to go out on her own in the coming weeks, Peletta said.

She served as aIn 1805, when he became a student at Trinity College, Cambridge, the college authorities told him that pet dogs were banned. He was so annoyed by the draconian rules that he brought a tame bear instead.

He argued that as bears weren’t specifically mentioned in their statutes the college had no legal grounds for complaint. Where he acquired the animal isn’t clear but it may have been from a travelling menagerie. Byron won the argument against the college and the bear stayed with him in his lodgings. He would walk the bear around the grounds of Trinity on a chain like a dog, and delighted in the reactions he got from passers-by.

Not finished yet, however, Byron even suggested that he would apply for the bear to join the college.


He once wrote: “I have got a new friend, the finest in the world, a tame bear. When I brought him here, they asked me what I meant to do with him, and my reply was, ‘he should sit for a fellowship’.”

Throughout his life, Byron had many pets – some common choices but many unusual ones too. It is reported that as well as dogs and cats, he kept monkeys, a crocodile, peacocks, badgers, and several birds of prey. But the animal he loved most was a Newfoundland dog named Boatswain. His affection for the dog was so strong that when Boatswain caught rabies, Byron nursed him without any concern for his safety of being bitten. When the dog died, he commissioned a monument to Boatswain and wrotefor creating a transparency in a material comprising the steps of creating a first electromagnetic wave adjacent to the material, saturating the material with the first electromagnetic wave, creating a second electromagnetic wave having a frequency higher than the first electromagnetic wave, engaging the second electromagnetic wave with the material when the material is fully or partially saturated for creating a transparency in the material with respect to the electromagnetic waves.

Student Designed Donkey Cart Unveiled During World Water Day

Cabinet Secretary, Eugene Wamalwa demonstrates how the donkey cart works during the launch

Water and Irrigation Cabinet Secretary, Mr. Eugene Wamalwa launched the Inkua Donkey Cart, designed by College of Engineering and Technology (COETEC) students during the World Water Day National Celebrations held in Naivasha, Tuesday, March 22, 2016.

The donkey cart aims at ensuring that there is a safer, efficient and effective way of transporting water especially in the rural areas.

The Cabinet Secretary lauded the University for the design and engineering of the donkey cart and encouraged the water companies present to partner with academic institutions to help tackle some of the water problems facing the country.

On her part, in an earlier interview, the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Mabel Imbuga, said theuniversity is committed to see the project escalate throughout the country and address the issue of clean water transportation in the rural areas. She urged the government and other organisations to partner with academic institutions to empower the masses through collaborative research and initiatives especially in the field of science and agriculture.

“I make a passionate appeal to the government and the private sector to invest in universities. The pool of talent, creativity and innovative ideas in our institutions is immense,” said Prof. Imbuga.

Africaqua Chief Executive Officer, David Kuria gave an assurance that in collaboration with the University, they will continue with the production of the cart in order to effectively and holistically solve the water transportation problem especially in the rural areas.

Aislinn Pulley, a founder of Black Lives Matter in Chicago, called the verdict historic because of the rarity of a police officer being “held accountable for murdering a black person in this city.”

“The beginning of a change is possible,” she said.

After the verdict on Friday, demonstrators took to the streets to celebrate the outcome. Hundreds of marchers shut down North Michigan Avenue from Millennium Park to the Chicago River.

Van Dyke faced a first-degree murder charge, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. But William Calloway, the activist whose lawsuit forced the courts to release dash-cam video of the shooting, said he was not upset by the jury’s decision topolice officers in Cincinnati, Milwaukee, North Charleston, S.C., and the Minneapolis area have spurred intense protests and anger, followed by criminal charges. Each case resulted in an acquittal or deadlocked jury.

The verdict in Chicago is among the exceptions — the second time in recent months that a jury has convicted a police officer in a controversial shooting. In August, a Texas jury found former Balch Springs Officer Roy Oliver guilty of murder for the April 2017 shooting of Jordan Edwards, a 15-year-old black boy who was sitting in the passenger seat of a car that was driving away from a house party. Oliver was sentenced to 15 years in prison.

An ongoing Washington Post database found that on-duty police officers fatally shoot just under 1,000 people each year. A


The Patriots announced on Monday that they'll hold joint practices with the Bears before their Aug. 18 preseason game. Is it only a matter of time before one of Chicago's players ends up in the Patriots locker room?

There's a trend here. As the years have gone by, the Patriots have benefited from joint training camp sessions not only because of how the workouts have allowed the team to jell together before the regular season. The practices have also provided the Patriots with an opportunity to do some advanced scouting.

From every joint practice in which the Patriots have participated since 2010, at least one opposing player has ended up -- at some point -- in a Patriots uniform.

Last year, after spending time at The Greenbrier resort with the Saints,the Patriots came away impressed by defensive lineman Akiem Hicks. At the time, Patriots director of pro scouting Bob Quinn (now Lions general manager) saw an opportunity for a trade and got the ball rolling on a deal that brought Hicks to Foxboro in exchange for tight end Michael Hoomanawanui.

Linebacker Ramon Humber also must have made a good impression last summer. A member of the Saints from 2010-15, he's participated against the Patriots in joint practices three separate times, and he was the first free agent signed by the Patriots this offseason.

Here's a quick rundown of the other Patriots opponents in joint practices who were eventually acquired by New England later in their careers . . .

United States, nanny cams are legal although most are sold without audio capabilities since it is prohibited to intercept audio communications surreptitiously.

US Code Title 18, Chapter 119, Section 2512 prohibits the interception of oral communication by "surreptitious manner" such as a hidden camera, and so most nanny cams are not available with audio recording. Though some on the market may be available with the ability to record audio, these cameras should not be used due to the illegality of the recordings they produce. Nanny cams are legal in all 50 states, but it is illegal in 13 states to record audio without express or written consent of the nanny being recorded. This falls under the federal government's 'wire tapping' laws.

The Lotus Temple is one of the best examples of architectural biomimicry, where nature inspires technology or design. The temple, designed by Canadian architect Fariborz Sahba, is one of eight Bahá’í Houses of Worship in the world. Sahba was inspired by the lotus flower, choosing it as the foundation of the design because of its association with purity of the human spirit. The angles of the concrete and marble leaves are reminiscent of the white arches of the Sydney Opera House. The Lotus Temple opened its doors in1986, and has since had 70 million visitors.

Architects Santiago Calatrava and Félix Candela collaborated on this city of eight alien buildings that opened in Valencia, Spain in 2009. The focal building in the complex is the L’Hemisfèric, or hemispheric theater, which is a planetarium, laserium, and IMAX theater. Calatrava, known for drawing from the outside world to create his designs, fashioned the building to resemble a human eye — the pupil holding the hemispherical dome of the IMAX theater. The pool below reflects the elliptical building, creating the full image of the eye. L’Hemisfèric has also earned the name “The Eye of Knowledge.”

The entertainment and cultural complex is considered to be the most modern tourist destination in the city of Valencia, its government describing the city to transcend “the traditional notion ofthe museum as a storehouse for the custody of works of art. It encourages the present-day concept of culture as a live activity in touch with social tendencies and all kinds of audiences.”

Mueller III that Trump’s campaign did not conspire with Russia in the 2016 election. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and members of her leadership team agreed in a Monday night huddle that the caucus needs to stop talking about collusion with Russia because it was distracting from their legislative agenda, according to three people in the meeting or familiar with the discussion. Notably, two Democrats in the room who brought up concerns about the nationwide focus on their high-profile probes — Rep. David N. Cicilline (D-R.I.) and House Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairwoman Cheri Bustos (D-Ill.) — are from opposite sides of the caucus: one a liberal, the other from a

Tlaib continues to press for Trump impeachment - Business Insider: “Rep. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan has sent a letter asking her fellow Democrats to sign on to a resolution urging the House Judiciary Committee to investigate whether President Donald Trump committed any impeachable offenses, days after the special counsel Robert Mueller concluded the FBI's Russia investigation. … ‘The actions of President Trump before he was officially sworn in as President of United States is currently being investigated by the Southern District of New York and much of it is part of the completed report by independent investigator, Robert Mueller,’ Tlaib wrote. ‘However, the most dangerous threat to our democracy is President Trump'sway or the other,’ the Hogan aide said of Mueller’s findings, in an email exchange with the Washington Examiner. … But Hogan appears patient, content to wait and see if other probes into Trump — by House Democrats and possibly the Southern District of New York — net more political trouble for the president.”

Johannesburg - The principal of Graceland Education Centre, Patricia Peters has been removed from the school with immediate effect following the brutal murder of one of her pupils, Laticia Jansen.

The teenager was found raped, assaulted and burnt after she had decided to walk to school upon realising that her transport had left her behind. She never made it as she was attacked along the way.

Spokesperson for the Gauteng Department of Education Steve Mabona said they took the decision to remove Peters from the school because of how they handled the matter when the teenager's family informed them that she was missing.

“The reason for removing the principal is that she failed to inform the district of the missing child even after the parent reported to her. No incident reportBlue, with a streak of green. It is unmistakable.

Everywhere you look, the colours of the country are on show. The longer you look, you start noticing the green dots amid the blue ocean. Green and blue is on everyone, everywhere.

The entire ground is dressed in colours. One man wears an Indian flag court jester hat, a traditional Indian vest over an Indian cricket shirt. One young Pakistani seems to be wearing two Pakistan shirts. A mother straightens the Indian shirt of a little girl in her sling. There is a group of fans who have come from Zimbabwe, they wear a shirt of their own design, part India, part Zimbabwe. An older woman wears a fashionable green skirt, which is the exact same colour of the Pakistan 99


cricket, but for the glory of India and Pakistan.

The crowd is made up of dental practitioners, accountants, CEOs, CTOs and engineers. Some have paid over six-hundred dollars just to come over from Sydney. One man tells me, "Oh, thousands, I couldn't even add it all up, and I'm only seeing this one game".

This one game.

"I've come from Dallas", says one woman. Are you going to another game? "No, just this one". Her husband then tells her she is going to another game. There are no other games.

Fans in raptures ahead of the match ICC

There are two types of fans here, and they are often sitting together. A smart dressed man in a turban and smart casual light blue shirt sits next to his mate who is dressed ina Pakistan shirt. The Pakistani fan proudly tells me that he came all the way from Singapore for this game, and that if Pakistan weren't playing India, he wouldn't have bothered making the trip. His friend in the smart shirt is from Mumbai, and he would have come regardless. Mr Mumbai is a cricket fan, Mr Singapore is an India-Pakistan fan.

There is a difference. Aman has flown in from Melbourne. Recently, he took his mother to see India play Australia in Tests. She was bored and showed no interest. He tells me that she is loving today. She doesn't know about the hashtags of #realfinal, or #wewontgiveitback.

She doesn't know about Mohit Sharma's late call-up or why Umar Akmal is keeping . She doesn't know any of the players.


the players on the Indian team, I'm not really sure I'd be able to muster enough enthusiasm to even root for India all the way in this World Cup. But put me in a room full of Indian fans watching the game and suddenly you might find me eyes bulging and yelling ecstatically, completely caught in a total frenzy."

When the national anthems are played, almost all the younger people stand for both anthems. Only a few of the older ones sit when it isn't their anthem. The younger fans film both anthems on their smart phones. These are middle, mostly middle class. It is a different kind of fan. A different kind of fanaticism. They dance like crazy just like the old fans, but they also post toFacebook that they are dancing like crazy. They want to be part of it, they want people to know they are part of it.

Away from the ground, on online forums like Reddit and Quora, people are still part of it.

"You can only know how deeply a single match affected the nation by being a part of it" ashi31 says. "As a muslim nation, the Pakistan cricket and prayers go hand in hand. By the sixth and seventh wicket most of us were busy praying for a miracle rather than paying attention to the match."

NiX_Nabilz writes, "When Yuvraj Singh was bowled first ball by Wahab at Mohali, you would not believe that not fire crackers, but bullets


were fired in the air just like a territory has been conquered, just like a battle has been won."

"Our mom came and handed over the tea to my brother as usual," Vinesh Thota writes. "And then our god Sachin was bowled at 93 by Abdul Razzaq. He threw that tea cup out of the window and shouted I will never have tea in my life."

"People who like sport remember their lives better than those who don't," Dan Harris explains in his piece about losing his wife and gaining the Ashes, in the Nightwatchman magazine.

Pakistan-India games are moments in people's lives they remember forever. Chachachoudhary watched them on a 16-inch TV at a Saras milk parlour. Shriman_Ripley prayed not just for an Indian victory, but for the Indian victorythat would inspire his uncle to buy him a samosa. Justarslan celebrated a victory with naan and haleem. Others had family picnics, walked out on job interviews, saw it in a basement, were the only Pakistani surrounded by 70 Indians, sat in a bar, went back home. There is also Kamalfan, who watched it in room 214 with his mate Viki. "I didn't know he won't be there for the next India Pak game."

A game of cricket, a communal life experience. The country remembers it, the culture remembers it, and even those who don't know how it started feel it all.

"It's about the history, I don't real know what actually happened, but the history is there," a 17-year-old girl says. She tells her friend that her plan is


to scream until she loses her voice. She wears her colours. She screams. She will remember this.

The Indian fans raise two fists in unison as the last catch is taken. Behind the stands, many mothers stand holding sleeping children, rocking prams, and one bench has a woman stroking her two kids asleep. She cranes her neck back to look through the entrance to the main stand as the people in blue scream.

This is her memory. One day it will be her kid's memories as well. This is a cricket match. This is a moment in millions of blue and green lives.

Lhasa was last month hit by Buddhist monks’ protests against Chinese rule that gave way to deadly rioting on March 14, and since then security forces have poured in to reimpose control there and in other restive Tibetan areas.

China says 19 people died in the Lhasa violence but representatives of the Dalai Lama say some 140 people died in the unrest across Tibet and nearby areas.

Chinese officials have accused the Dalai Lama of organizing the unrest to press for Tibetan independence ahead of the Beijing Olympic Games in August, and vowed to come down hard on rioters and on protesters supporting him.

Up to 2 million workers in country's biggest export industry will earn monthly wage of 3,000 takas (£28) after months of protests

Bangladesh has raised minimum monthly wages for its millions of garment workers by about 80% after months of violent protests over poor pay and conditions, a government minister said.

The official minimum wage has been set at 3,000 takas (£28) a month, up from 1662 takas in the first raise since 2006, labour minister Khandaker Mosharaff Hossain said.

"We have tried our best to meet the demands of the workers," Hossain told reporters in announcing the new wages after months of negotiations with garment factory owners.

The new pay structure starts in November and has sevengrades – the highest pay fixed at 9,300 takas.

Factory owners or trade union leaders were not immediately available for comment. Workers and labour rights groups have pressed for a monthly wage of 5,000 takas.

The raise came about a week after the prime minister, Sheikh Hasina, criticised the garment industry for paying low wages to workers.

Bangladesh's garment exports mainly to the United States and Europe earn more than £7.7bn a year, nearly 80% of the country's export income. The country has 4,000 factories employing more than 2 million workers, most of them women.

Garment workers in Bangladesh are paid the least in the world and are unable to buy food and arrange shelter on their monthly earnings, according to the International Trade Union Confederation, a Vienna-based labour rights group.

In recent


months, thousands of workers demanding higher wages have protested on the streets, attacked factories and blockaded highways in and outside the capital Dhaka.

In June, about 700 garment factories in a major industrial hub near Dhaka were shut for two days after days of violent protests by tens of thousands of workers demanding better wages.

International clothing companies Wal-Mart, Tesco, H&M, Zara, Carrefour, Gap, Metro, JCPenney, Marks & Spencer, Kohl's, Levi Strauss and Tommy Hilfiger all import in bulk from Bangladesh.

The manufacturers say they're being squeezed by a slump in prices on international market because of global economic crisis. They also say higher production costs due to an energy crisis and poor infrastructure are pushing them to the edge.do the concrete work, including the building of bridges and box culverts. They also had an agreement with the Transit-Mix Concrete Company to supply them with the necessary concrete.
Plaintiff contractors entered into a collective bargaining agreement with the United Construction Workers, a division of the United Mine Workers Union. Following its execution work began on the project aforesaid on or about May 23, 1958. On May 28, 1958, pickets of the defendant Unions appeared at the construction site carrying signs which read "Carpenters, Engineers, Teamsters and Laborers Seek Recognition on This Project." The presence of the pickets stopped all deliveries of concrete by the Transit-Mix Company and the work by Tye & Wells had to be halted.
This condition continued until June 9, at which time plaintiff contractors met


with the business agents of the defendant Unions. The Union representatives insisted that the plaintiffs replace the United Construction Workers with members of their own Unions in order that they might act as the bargaining agents for Tye & Wells' employees. Tye & Wells was given a week to consider the demands of the defendants during which time all pickets were removed from the construction site. However, on June 19, Tye & Wells refused to sign a contract with the defendants and the next day the pickets reappeared at the job site and remained until July 14, when they were enjoined from further picketing by an order of the District Court. Again during this period work could not proceed due to the failure of the Transit-Mix Company toconventional power connections, damage of other types of connections to electronic devices can also occur in the same ways described above.
In general, the surface area of two magnetically attracted halves determines the number of magnetic flux lines and therefore the holding force between them because the holding force is proportional to the contact area between the two magnetically attracted halves. Thus, to have a strong force holding the two magnetically attracted halves together, the two magnetically attracted halves want to be as large as possible.

released his much-unloved 2012 budget proposal on Valentine's Day. That budget included massive new spending programs for alternative energy and many other spending increases.

Republicans were incredulous. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said: "I would best sum it up as a sort of lack of seriousness."

Echoing McConnell, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Alabama), ranking minority member of the Senate Budget Committee, said: "It was a very unserious response to a very serious situation." The Republicans couldn't believe the president would propose billions in new spending when the deficit and the debt were hitting new highs.

The response on the left was equally negative. The Washington Post's reliably liberal Dana Milbank wrote, "Obama's budget proposal is a remarkably weak and timid document." Even The New York Times editorial page, while praising Obama's budgetamendment, passed by South Dakota Republican senator Larry Pressler, had cut off military-to-military contacts between U.S. and Pakistani forces. Intelligence and diplomatic contacts were frequent, but not deep. "There was no sense of urgency."

The hunt for bin Laden accelerated before the September 11 attacks. The CIA had developed a "pretty good read" on bin Laden's "signature," based on the number of vehicles, number of people, and other factors, Myers said. In the first few months, planning to strike bin Laden shifted to high gear. The internal debate was not whether to hit bin Laden, but when. By March 2001, when Myers became involved in the meetings of the deputy national security advisor and his counterparts in the intelligence and military agencies, a sense of urgency had emerged. The

When Clinton's State Department aircraft broke down in the Saudi city of Jedda, she phoned Petraeus. He happened to be nearby, in the Saudi capital of Riyhadh. He ordered an unscheduled stop and brought Clinton and her team back to Washington on his plane.

By 2011, Petraeus was in charge of all military matters in Afghanistan, making him a key ally in diplomatic efforts there. Most important for the bin Laden raid, Petraeus was able to direct all military intelligence gathering in the Afghan-Pakistan region. With Petraeus, Panetta, and Clinton all coordinating, no intelligence about bin Laden got lost to turf battles among the CIA, special forces, military, and diplomatic corps. And they were united in their efforts to persuade the president to take decisive action.

On September 7, 1999, this matter proceeded to a bench trial. At trial, S.J., who was then thirteen, testified that, from the age of six to ten, she resided in Dominica. S.J. stated that, during her stay in Dominica, she was raped more than once by a man. (See Trial Tr. at 17-19.) In late 1996, she relocated to St. Thomas to live with her father, Joseph. (Id. at 19.) S.J. testified that, during the following year, in 1997, her father began sexually abusing her. She stated that Joseph touched her breasts and "[rubbed] his hand around" them and that he "suck[ed] them" with hisNovember 23, 1998. She said that, during intercourse, her father "mov[ed] on top of [her] rapidly," and that afterwards, "white and sticky" things came from her vagina. (Id. at 31-32.) She also stated that after her father had sexual intercourse with her, her vagina and stomach hurt. (Id. at 35.) S.J. testified that, during the two months before his arrest, her father had sexual intercourse with her "two to three times." (Id. at 28-30.) S.J. also testified that Joseph *729 made her "[s]uck his penis" and that, when she did this, a "[w]hite salty liquid" came out of his penis. (Id. at 33-34.)

group is divided into two classes with third and fourth graders together for the first hour and fifth and sixth graders for the second hour. Teachers refer students to the program who they think will benefit from additional methods of instruction and a more applied learning approach.
The program provides practice and application of the essential skills in communication, reading, and math through construction of various hands-on projects. The children make tool boxes, CD holders, and belt racks out of wood, sew shop aprons, create greeting cards, envelopes, and print blocks.
According to Cady and Henum, the goals of the class include improving students' motivation and attitude toward learning, as well as their functional skills in math and reading. It also strives to increase social skills and work ethic behavior,both of which are related to success in the working world.
"Wood was chosen as the primary medium because it captures kids," says Cady, "and the learning by doing, kinesthetic way, is such a powerful method." Hennum adds, "We've given these kids another avenue of learning and are helping them see the relevance of reading and writing to the real work world."
The program fits well into the district's standards of learning and enriches what the children know and are working on in their regular classes. Cady has seen an increase in cooperative work effort, an excitement about school, and more confidence in those involved in the class. "The kids have really been enthusiastic about the projects and have a sense of pride in their abilities," Hennum said.

cover for many criminal acts, and only the brave or desperate dare to tread where the fog shrouds the city. Whether someone is seeking a fresh start or looking for trouble, Waterdog Port welcomes all with open arms.

History

Constructed as a center for shipping and exploration, Waterdog Port has been coveted since its inception. Pugmire and Mau each attempted to claim the city for their own, igniting the War of Dogs and Cats. When holding it overburdened each power, they withdrew, abandoning the residents to continue the fight alone. The brutal Alleyway Skirmishes, though largely unheard-of outside Waterdog Port, were some of the bloodiest battles in the War. After the assassination of the Mau-appointed Lionel von Korat, Samantha von Rex — better known as the pirate captain, Calico Sam— assumed mayorship. But even her practical wisdom proved unable to calm the unrest or stanch the flow of blood in the streets.

Following a particularly savage clash, the heads of each faction in the city met secretly one night seeking a truce. Recognizing the current course of events would lead to mutual destruction, Calico Sam and Axel Bull-Terrier, a disgruntled Pugmire patriot, contrived to disrupt the cycle of violence and forge a new system of government. The two met with their most avid supporters, declaring that for the good of the city, the other empire must rule. In the ensuing confusion, the two agreed to rule jointly, declaring independence from Pugmire and Mau.

Each chose their four most charismatic supporters to act as assistants, effectively preventing them from forming


new factions. Together, they declared every citizen of the city would vote in favor of Axel or Calico Sam to rule the city, not as a mayor but as Governor. The others would act as a Council of Luminaries to rule alongside them, ensuring both species would be equally represented in the government. The first Council laid down the Great Laws, and while tempers still flared, the two sides learned to respectfully work together. In the following years, the Council would open their ranks to other species, seeking to promote harmony in the city.

Species of Waterdog Port

While every species is welcome in Waterdog Port, dogs maintain a small majority of the population. Most Luminaries and Governors have been dogs, ensuring dog interests frequently take precedence. While most dogsreadily take to the sea, but the frequent prejudices experienced often lead them to band together into rodent crews. While seldom able to afford plastic-hulled ships, their patchwork wooden ships are frequent sights in Seaport.

Few badgers call Waterdog Port home. Most who do live solitary lifestyles, seldom meeting with others of their kind. The exception are members of the otter tribe, who frequently cluster in crews to intimidate rivals. Otters take well to the pirate life, often hiring out their services as muscle to other species taking to sea. With the brutal reputation held by the badger tribes, many are surprised to discover the fierce loyalty and camaraderie of their otter crewmates.

Laws of Waterdog Port

While hosting many individuals of questionable morality, Waterdog Port does maintain its own laws.


cash and since he thought he would earn in excess of $50,000 in salary, it followed that he should list this figure as part of his estimated liquid net worth. In light of the fact that the debtor is an experienced collections agent now employed by a law firm, it stretches credulity to believe that the debtor legitimately equated his salary with cash on hand. Additionally, the debtor did not own any investment property when he listed the sum of $10,000 in this category on the statement he submitted to Lincoln. His limp explanation was that his brothers and sisters had contemplated purchasing his mother's home and that he was to receive a one-sixth interest, which would amount to $10,000. However, the proposed purchase never occurred and thethe customer had a net worth of not less than $50,000 and an annual income of not less than $25,000. Had Lincoln known that the debtor's gross income in 1981 and 1982 was $20,861.18 and $29,724 and that his net worth was substantially less than $50,000, Lincoln would not have accepted the debtor's orders to purchase and sell stock options.
13. The debtor's material misrepresentations as to his financial condition, as reflected in the written financial statements he submitted to Lincoln as part of his application to trade stock options, were relied upon by Lincoln to its detriment, namely, $35,346.86.

the debtor's financial condition.
The debtor is a sophisticated individual who has considerable experience in dealing with business figures and accounts. He is a claims investigator for a law firm and fully appreciates the significance of the need for accuracy in the reporting of financial information reflecting one's financial condition. His testimony that he treated his annual salary as cash for purposes of responding to Lincoln's financial questionnaire as to the amount of cash on hand was manifestly incredulous. Moreover, when the debtor included a contemplated interest in real estate as valued at $10,000, despite the fact that the interest never materialized and he was aware of this fact, he violated his "duty of fair dealing which arose when he undertook to consummate a business transaction with the Bank."Violence has returned not long after Sundan emerged from a civil war.

Violence has returned not long after Sundan emerged from a civil war.

THREE IRISH CITIZENS are among thousands of people taking refuge from violence that has erupted in South Sudan.

Thousands fled renewed heavy fighting in the capital Juba today as former rebels and government soldiers exchanged fire in several parts of the city.

The battles began on the western outskirts of Juba where both former rebels and government soldiers have bases at the foot of the Jebel Kujur mountain close to a UN camp.

Fighting was heard in several other parts of the city throughout the day, including the tinderbox Gudele neighbourhood — where rebel leader turned vice president Riek Machar is headquartered — and the central Tongping area near


the international airport.

Information minister Michael Makuei today blamed the former rebels for the fighting and insisted the government was “in full control of Juba” even as shooting could be heard in parts of the city.

Makuei said President Salva Kiir would call for a ceasefire later in the day.

“We are expecting his excellency the president will issue a unilateral ceasefire, binding on his forces. We hope the First Vice President Riek Machar will follow suit,” he said.

The violence comes a day after the world’s youngest country marked its fifth independence anniversary, and is a fresh blow to a peace deal that has failed to end the civil war that broke out in December 2013.

Among those caught up the chaos that followed the fighting are three Irish staff of Concerndespite the establishment of a unity government.

This week’s clashes are the first between the army and former rebels in the capital — where the war broke out — since both established positions there in April as part of the peace agreement.

Tens of thousands have died in more than two years of civil war, close to three million have been forced from their homes and nearly five million survive on emergency food rations.

The humanitarian crisis has unfolded alongside an economic one with the currency collapsing and inflation spiralling out of control. The country’s mainstay oil industry is in tatters and regional towns have been razed.

Since the UK referendum on European Union membership, I have received thousands of letters from UK citizens angry that their European identity is being taken from them against their will.

How To Become A Foster Parent

The birth of a baby brings in many responsibilities to the parents. However, many couples separate. The woman, fed up with the lies and abuses of the husband, may at last take a definitive step to break the relationship. It is the commonest reason why a mother decides to start a new phase of her life. The deceitful and abusive relationship took her through her own darkness.

When she is through, she leaves the distressing relationship, discarding every minute trace of her past. She takes the decision with the hope of finding a caring man in a relationship enriching her. The new man has several responsibilities to fulfill. He is the foster parent of the little one. He needs to realize foster caring asStart Your Engines: Dubai Motor Festival is Here!

Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency in the world is very near to reach half of the average lifespan of the fiat currency.

A crypto analyst and statistician, Willy Woo has compared the life span of Bitcoin with the average lifespan of the fiat currencies. He says that Bitcoin is about to cover half of the average lifespan of the world’s fiat currencies.

In his tweet, he claims that the world’s largest cryptocurrency has already covered 40% of this life span.

Bitcoin has already reached 40% of the life expectancy of the average fiat currency (27yrs). The most successful fiat currency has lost 99.5% of its value. https://t.co/rEyQabeeQs — Willy Woo (@woonomic) October 18, 2019

Average LifeSpan of a Fiat Currency is 27 Years

He presents the detailed study of 775 fiat currencies by DollarDazewho concludes after studying the number of 775 past and present fiat currencies of the world that the average lifespan of a fiat currency is 27 years.

Willy Woo also adds that the oldest fiat currency, British pound, which is considered to have the longest life span, has also almost lost its value. He states:

Bitcoin has already reached 40% of the life expectancy of the average fiat currency (27yrs). The most successful fiat currency has lost 99.5% of its value.

A detailed view of the study of the life span of the fiat currencies by DollarDaze is given in his tweet.

“The law against sexist and sexual violence has been passed unanimously. Thank you to the parliamentarians,” Schiappa tweeted after the bill passed. “This is not an end but the beginning of a resolute implementation to eradicate violence against women, a change of society.”

The legislation passed just days after a French woman named Marie Laguerre posted a shocking video of a street harasser slapping her after she told him to shut up. The unidentified man rushed towards Laguerre, threw an ashtray at her head, which just barely missed her, and then struck her in the face.

A 23-year-old man was arrested at a Walmart yesterday after flashing his breast implants at fellow shoppers before spitting blood at police.

Jeremy Owens, from Pennsylvania, was arrested for his alleged bizarre behavior at the Lackawanna County store.

Police found him on a local bus which he then refused to get off.

After he was arrested and put into a police car, Owens, who calls himself 'Jamie' banged his head against the window and cut himself, which allowed him to spit blood at officers.

(Reuters) - Six people have died in a fire at a mobile home in rural North Carolina, and investigators are seeking to find the cause of the deadly blaze, police said on Saturday.

The fire at the home just outside the town of Garland was reported to emergency responders at 1 a.m. local time on Saturday, and firefighters found bodies inside the residence, the Sampson County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

The names of the six people killed in the fire and other details about the victims were not released. There was no sign of foul play, but investigators were still processing evidence, the sheriff's department statement said.Jarry St.

The founder of the hugely popular competition, for which Reebok is the title sponsor, recently announced he would give away the pistols to the winners, referring to the plan as "glock for the podium.”

"The top male athlete, the top female athlete, and every member of the winning team will receive a GLOCK pistol," Dave Castro, Director of the CrossFit Games and a former Navy SEAL, wrote in a posting on the Facebook page for the CrossFit Games, along with a flashy video highlighting the popular pistol.

The CrossFit Games began Tuesday at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

People immediately expressed outrage over Castro's announcement on social media and in comments on the post, saying that it was in poor taste


glorifying weapons and violence. Guns shouldn't a prize. They should be the very last resort.”

As of Friday, nearly 20,000 people signed an online petition demanding that the CrossFit Games cancel the Glock prize.

CrossFit is a branded fitness regimen that was created in 2000 and promoted as both a physical exercise philosophy and competitive fitness sport. CrossFit workouts incorporate elements from high-intensity interval training, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting and gymnastics. Each summer, championship games are held in California in which Cross Fitters from around the globe complete in Olympic-style events.

According to the report, several students approached a female teacher


to report that a Muslim girl had been sexually assaulted in the second-floor boys washroom by a group of boys.

“The students came forward because they were concerned that the boys involved were targeting girls who were unpopular and isolated,” the report says.

The female teacher and the students told a vice-principal about the alleged attack, but neither police or her parents were informed, the report says.

As more students heard about what happened, however, the female student was further harassed by other students, although steps were taken to curb abuse, the report says.

The female student was eventually transferred to another school at the request of both her and her father. But no steps were taken to remove the alleged attackers from school, the report says.

Kennedy and his clerks were gathering over the weekend for a reunion that was pushed up a year and helped spark talk he might be leaving the court.

"Soon we'll know if rumors of Kennedy's retirement are accurate," one former Kennedy clerk, George Washington University law professor Orin Kerr, said on Twitter Friday.

The vote came after Senate Republicans voted to change parliamentary rules to require only 51 votes to confirm Supreme Court nominees.
