Washington -- The second Holocaust - the possible destruction of the Jews in Israel - is a phrase first coined by Philip Roth in his 1993 novel "Operation Shylock. "It's a novel that seemed incredibly bleak back then. Yet even Roth's darkest imaginings seem optimistic now. Especially when examined by the glare of burning synagogues in France. Or neofascist Jean-Marie Le Pen's showing in the first round of the French presidential election.

We have to examine the dynamic going on in the mind of Europe at this moment: a dynamic that suggests that Europeans, on some deep if not entirely conscious level, are willing to be complicit in the murder of the Jews again.

Roth's narrator believes that there are in Europe "powerful currents of enlightenment and morality that are sustained by the memory of the Holocaust - a bulwark against European anti-Semitism," however virulent. It may be true in the case of some Europeans, although if so they


bombers in Ramallah.

One has to put the European guilt complex not just in the context of complicity during World War II. One must also consider the malign neglect involved in the creation of the state of Israel. The begrudging grant of an indefensible sliver of desert in a sea of hostile peoples, to get the surviving Jews - reminders of European shame - off the continent, and leave the European peoples in possession of the property stolen from the Jews during the war. And that was when they didn't continue murdering Jews, the way some Poles did when some Jews were foolish enough to try to return to their stolen homes.

Make no mistake of it, the Palestinians are victims of history as well as the Jews. The lastbut because they are, so far, still acting with restraint despite the massacres making their country uninhabitable.

Consider the remarkable New York Times story in which Hamas leaders spoke joyfully of their triumph in the Passover massacre and the subsequent slaughters in Jerusalem and Haifa. Two things made this remarkable. One was the unashamed assertion that they had no interest in any "peace process" that would produce a viable Palestinian state living side by side with a Jewish state. They only wanted the destruction of the Jewish state and its replacement with one in which "the Jews could remain living in 'an Islamic state with Islamic law.' "

That defines the reality that has been hidden by the illusion of hope placed in a "peace process." The Palestinians, along with


their 300 million "Arab brothers" surrounding the 5 million Jews, are not interested in a "negotiated settlement."

Israelis are forever being criticized for not negotiating, for not giving away enough of their security, but they have no one to negotiate with who doesn't want to exterminate their state and their people as well, if necessary.

The other remarkable thing was the setting. The interview with one of the four directors of the Hamas mass murderers, a Dr. Zahar, was conducted in a comfortable home in which "Dr. Zahar, a surgeon, has a table tennis set in his vast living room for his seven children."

If the Israelis were as ruthless as the Europeans take great pleasure in calling them, there would be, let's say, no Ping-Pong playing for the murderer ofa state called Jordan, that declared war on the state of Israel, that invaded it in order to destroy it - and lost the war. There are consequences to losing a war, and the consequences should at least in part be laid at the feet of the three nations that sought and lost the war. One sympathizes with the plight of the Palestinians, but one wonders what the plight of the Israelis might have been had they lost that war.

But somehow the Israelis are told that they must trust the world - trust the European Union as guarantors of their safety, trust the Arab League's promises of "normal relations," trust the Saudis who subsidize suicide-bomber parties and ignore the exterminationist textbooks the Arab world uses to tutor its


the people: reading the universe as the Torah, as Einstein and Spinoza did, rather than the Torah as the universe, as the Orthodox do.

But the implacable hatred of Arab fundamentalism makes no distinction between Jewish fundamentalists and Jewish secularists, just as Hitler didn't. It's not just the settlements they want to extirpate, it's the Jewish state, the Jewish people.

This is the way it is likely to happen: Sooner or later, a nuclear weapon is detonated in Tel Aviv, and sooner, not later, there is nuclear retaliation -

Baghdad, Damascus, Tehran, perhaps all three. Someone once said that while Jesus called on Christians to "turn the other cheek," it's the Jews who have been the only ones who have actually practiced that. Not this time. The unspoken corollary of thethe

men and two women who apparently did not look alarmed or suspicious

to him.   Misiaszek then walked around the front of the house.        From

the front porch, Misiaszek and fellow officer Paul Culin heard

noises from inside the house, including loud footsteps and the

sounds of a radio or television.

     At this time, Steven Marmolejo walked out of the house with a

piece of chicken and a glass of water, apparently unaware that the

officers were on the front porch.       Misiaszek recognized Marmolejo

as a suspect in a pending burglary investigation, and the officer

began to question him about the gun shots.

screen door was shut.     Misiaszek opened the screen door, announced

"Police Officer," and leaned into the doorway to speak to whomever

was inside;      Marmolejo and Culin corroborated this account.

     When he leaned into the residence, Misiaszek saw Tamez, who

      Marmolejo later testified in a deposition that he lied to
protect Felix Tamez, who was his uncle. Marmolejo also testified
that he had known Tamez had fired a gun in the back yard that
night and that he had seen Tamez holding the gun just before he
had walked out onto theshell casings;             Tamez had fired all of the

bullets in his back yard earlier in the evening.            Misiaszek stepped

quickly into the house, crouched, and fired six rounds from his

service revolver.         Misiaszek missed Tamez with most of his shots

but hit him once in the right arm and once in the left leg.                    The

shots wounded Tamez but did not kill him.

      After securing Tamez's weapon, Misiaszek checked Tamez for

a warrantless search of a home may be unconstitutionalFriends and family are shocked by the sudden detention of a Canadian administrator at a prestigious international school in Jakarta, Indonesia, this week.

Neil Bantleman, 45, from Burlington, was detained by Indonesian police Tuesday morning, local time, after nearly nine hours of questioning by police who are investigating allegations he sexually assaulted students at the Jakarta International School.

“It’s a teacher’s worst nightmare,” said Chris Megaffin, a Canadian colleague who worked with Bantleman at the school for four years. “There is no evidence to support these allegations. In many ways Neil has been caught in the cross-fire of this whole situation.”

Bantleman was detained with his colleague Ferdinand Tjiong, an Indonesian teaching assistant. Neither has been charged.

Their arrest follows accusations in March that a janitor at the school raped a five-year-old


boy in a school bathroom, according to the Wall Street Journal. Two other families then came forward claiming their children were also victims of sexual assault at the school. Police detained six janitors, one of whom died in an apparent suicide in April. The others remain in custody after offering confessions, though the details aren’t known.

One of the families has sued the school for $125 million.

According to Indonesian law, police are allowed to detain a suspect for 20 days without charge and can extend that for another 20 days without a judicial overview.

Bantleman’s wife, Tracy, told the Star from Jakarta that her husband has been fully cooperating with police, who have been holding his passport since May. She said staff from the Canadian Embassy have spoken to himbefore the imprinting starts to fade. Two months at the very most."

"No. Don't even say it. You don't want to help; you don't even want to _know_ anything more about this than you do now. Same goes for that bitch—"

"Something this backwoods planet shouldn't even _have!_ I never feel safe on an assignment where somebody else knows my true identity. People have a nasty way of being compelled to talk. So far, two of you know who I am. How many others—the whole embassy staff?"

"No, we're the only two."

The


songwriter to win the Nobel Prize for Literature’?

Rabindranath Tagore is the anti-colonialist in question, reverently coined by his devotees and by my Bengali family as the ‘Bard of Bengal’. He was the first non-European to win the prize in 1913, for his collection of poems in Gitanjali and, as such, he possesses an elevated status in my country. Walking down the bustling streets of Kolkata, you hear his poetry blaring from major traffic intersections and pandals which dot the metro landscape during the festive season. You can see his face and words printed on posters behind street-hawkers selling fake Nike clothes and in most Bengali households, where his portrait sits alongside statues of Ganesha and Shiva in the omnipresent puja room.

The title, Gitanjali, is composed from two Bengaliwords – geet (song) and anjali (offering), and thus is literally translated as ‘an offering of songs’. Tagore is credited with having written over two thousand songs, compared to a discography of around 500 for Dylan. Tagore’s geet’s range from devotional hymns to Bengali folk tunes and have influenced sarod musicians like Amjad Ali Khan, helped fashion the national anthems of India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, and inspired Indian philosopher Swami Vivekananda, a key figure in the introduction of yoga to the West.

Tagore’s influence defines him as not only a literary figure but also as a national symbol, and like Lawson, Joyce or Whitman, he came to embody India’s idea of itself and its cultural and intellectual independence. Growing up in Australia, and despite having four different copies


reconcile the disparities of the East and the West, the most significant of which was in theological perspectives.

At its core, the Gitanjali (written in the original Bangla) is a collection of poems evaluating the synthesis between materiality and spirituality. Tagore positions this association as a conversation, speaking in first person and utilising a confessional style to convey the intimacy of the relationship with tumi (the personal God in Bangla poems). His work is flooded with natural imagery, arranging birds, water, trees as ephemeral in their essence and as vehicles with which the I can find and bond with tumi:

I know not how thou singest, my master! I ever listen in silent amazement. [Poem 3]

In 1913, May Sinclair published a piece in the North American Review, one of America’searliest literary magazines, where she suggested the closeness of the bhakti (piety and attachment in Hinduism) relationship was starkly incongruent with ‘the gulf fixed between the common heart and Transcendent being’ of the Western affiliation between man and God. Tagore realised this and subtly replaced tumi with the Shakespearean and biblical thou, which arguably belittles the comforting propinquity of the bhakti relationship. But this element of colonial conformity is essential in unifying Pratt’s contact zone and presents an interesting perspective on the requirement of compliance among modern cultural interaction. Globalisation demands a cross-cultural – and accessible – exchange of ideas and information and Tagore exhibits this without completely diminishing the agency of his work and creativity.

His self-translation offers an interesting perspective on transculturalism, and, as Jeff Lewis observes,


PLAINFIELD, IL — A man was found dead after apparently taking his own life Sunday morning at an area preserve, the Will County Sheriff's Office said. A spokeswoman for the sheriff's office said two people who arrived at the disc golf course at Avery Preserve on Lockport Street on Sunday morning found the man, 35, deceased on the eighth hole.in human history, they have been the topic of perennial debate since they were invented. To illuminate the election debates, we looked into how the pension came to be, with a timeline.

1700s: The first state pensions were given to military men only. The French Revolution fostered the rise of the idea of universal old-age pensions, with Thomas Paine arguing anyone over 50 who was in need should receive a small sum. And with the increased move to cities, the breakdown of farming communities that had provided care for the elderly created a growing need for a way to keep aging workers out of poorhouses, explains Daniel Béland, a professor at the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Saskatchewan.

1880s: Many trace the first pension plan


rent my rooms now for she demands constant care of attention….” Roosevelt announced his plan to start Social Security to Congress the following year, drawing inspiration from Bismarck and European social welfare.

1935: The pension movement was growing. By this year, 34 countries had some kind of social insurance program to provide for old age.

1951: Old Age Security (OAS) was introduced in Canada as a federal, universal at-rate pension covering citizens aged 70 and older. Pro-labour politicians, including those in the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), criticized the benefits as too low.

1956: Problems with OAS persisted. It wasn’t indexed to inflation, which according to opposition Progressive Conservative leader John Diefenbaker put seniors “in an impossible position.” In 1956, the Liberal government created the registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) — animplicit endorsement of the idea of state-subsidized private savings over the public system. A popular belief abounded that people should rely very little on public pensions.

1950s: The postwar era sees a rise in “welfare enterprise.” Corporations competed to offer pension schemes to employees, investments which sociologist Robin Blackburn has argued helped underpin the surging era of growth of the 1950s and 1960s.

1966: The Canada Pension Plan was established, protecting workers from loss of income in retirement, with benefits indexed to the cost of living. It was passed into law by the Liberals, who according to scholar Penny Bryden had become influenced by a younger, more progressive element since being defeated by the Progressive Conservatives in 1957.

1985: Serious debate about pensions was rekindled when Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, blaming


deficits, announced he would partly de-index pensions and family allowances. The move was seen as a betrayal of what had over the decades become a staunch Canadian value. After an enormous public backlash — including one angry protester named Solange Denis, who faced him and said, “You lied to us” — he was forced to back down.

2000: People age 50 or over make up 17 per cent of the population, as improved longevity and a slowing birthrate shift demographics. A largely partisan debate grows about the nation’s priorities, as business demands tax cuts while a body of the public argues for improvement of public pensions and greater protection for private ones like company pensions.

Student-led anti-fossil fuel campaigns at universities across the country pointed to Georgetown University Friday as the school's board of directors announced it would divest from fossil fuels and redouble its efforts to invest in renewable energy instead.

The university's decision came after a sustained pressure campaign from Georgetown University Fossil Free (GUFF), a student group which submitted multiple proposals to the Georgetown Committee on Investments and Social Responsibility before the panel recommended the divestment this week. The school community also voted on a referendum regarding divestment on Thursday, withn more than 90% voting in favor.

GUFF issued a statement thanking the board of directors for its decision to divest and the school community for participating in the campaign.

"We are thrilled that our university has taken this important step in supportingareas while freezing new endowment investments in companies or funds whose primary business is the exploration or extraction of fossil fuels."

The school will divest from public securities in fossil fuel companies in the next five years and existing investments in those companies in the next decade.

"Divestment allows us to divert more capital to fund development of renewable energy projects that will play a vital role in the transition away from fossil fuels—part of the long-term solution required to prevent the most dangerous effects of climate change," Michael Barry, Georgetown's chief investment officer, said in a statement.

Climate action advocates including 350.org co-founder Bill McKibben and author Naomi Klein applauded the move.

A federal judge ordered Moore to have the monument removed, and the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal. Moore’s associate justices on the state high court sided with the federal judge as well. Moore was removed from office two years later, in 2003.

Essentially, he filled almost a 1000 skulls with seed or leadshot, gave each of them a good shake to make sure that every nook and cranny was filled, and then measured the amount of filling that came out as he emptied the skulls. According to his findings, Caucasians had the largest skulls. As, of course, he had suspected all along.

Morton's experiments were not that famous until, more than a century later, they were rediscovered by the eminent biologist Stephen Jay Gould. And he was having none of it. According to Gould, Morton's findings were driven by his racist expectations. Caucasian

Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh. The survey evaluated the perception of participants about their postgraduate psychiatry training and IPS academic activities. This paper focuses only on the postgraduate psychiatry training.

An online survey questionnaire containing 27 questions was sent to psychiatrists (both qualified practicing and trainees aged ≤45 years) across the country in March--May 2015 using Survey Monkey® electronic platform. The survey comprised of questions pertaining to demographic and personal characteristics, a self-designed questionnaire containing questions pertaining to their training in psychiatry, individual\'s opinion about the competence of the faculty training them, their own competency in carrying out psychotherapy, having adequate exposure to psychotherapy or being/been supervised for psychotherapy during their training period, along with perceived stress due to training activities. In addition, the survey inquired about the opinionnot included in the group are of inferior standards.

This study was first of its kind in India which tried to assess the ground reality of postgraduate psychiatry training across the country. Although the study included participants aged ≤45 years, the mean and median of duration of training including the years of postgraduate training were 8 and 7 years, respectively and about two-fifths (39%) of the participants were junior residents and senior residents suggesting that the survey results are the actual opinion of the trainees or of those who completed their training in recent past or were pursuing their training. The survey can be said to be representative of psychiatry training in the country as it covered respondents from 115 institutes/medical colleges, out of possible 230 postgraduate training institutes


in the country. About half of the participants belonged to nine institutes, which have been involved in postgraduate psychiatry training for more than 27 years and are considered to be institute of repute in postgraduate training and also regarding research output in the speciality of psychiatry. Keeping this in mind, these institutes were clubbed together as a single group and information of all the other institutes was compared against this group.

The overall rating for the postgraduate psychiatry training was rated as "good/very good" by four-fifth of the participants, suggesting that the trainees were satisfied with the training they had received.

The trial court granted the writ and ordered Department to make payments commencing with that due on January 1, 1973.[1] Department1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of environmental scanning electron microscopes (ESEM) and more particularly to an apparatus and method of operating an ESEM with a wet sample.
2. Description of the Related Art
In a typical environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), an electron beam is emitted by an electron gun and passes through an electron optical column of an objective lens assembly. A series of pressure limiting apertures are placed along the column so as to maintain pressure differentials along the column. The pressure may vary from, for example, 10xe2x88x925 Pa at the electron gun up to 6000 Pa in the sample chamber through the use of a system of differential pumping. In the electron column, the electron beam passes through magnetic lenses which

Plaintiff Lorraine Burke alleges that on several occasions in 1986 and 1987 while she was pregnant, both she and a professional exterminator sprayed "Rid-A-Bug" in her home on Long Island. She claims that the sprayings, by exposing her to both Dursban and Xylene, caused her children to be born with severe brain damage and other injuries.

Leaning over King whispered in her ear. "So, Ms. Ryan, tell me something about yourself."

She smiled. She was fine and he was single. What harm would it do to have some fun?

"Well, I'm a laid back person. I have a son, and I love to cook."

_Damn, the full package,_ King thought. "So, Ms. Ryan, ya' man always let you out alone?"

She smiled again as his breath tickled her ear lobe when he whispered to her. "I don't have one but if I did I wouldn't need his permission to go out."

King smiled this time. "Well if you were my woman I wouldn't let you out of my sight. You too damn fine to be alone."

Ryan looked at King and could tell that he was tipsy.


he was letting her catch the bus. He told her that he'd be back to pick her up as well. What Ryan didn't know was that King owned a few businesses including a clothing store and which he needed someone to run. He thought Ryan would be the perfect person to do so. He chose to mention this to her as he opened the door to let her out of the car.

"So I have this clothing store you could manage. It'll definitely be more money than you make at this job."

"I'll think about it." His news was surprising and even though it sounded nice she had to be sure.

He didn't know what it was about her but he was definitely falling hard and fast.

King cruised downthat don't belong to them. That drew Ryan to King even more. She helped Cameron with his shoes and brushed his hair. Just as they were grabbing their coats there was a knock at the door. Ryan looked out of the peephole to see King standing there looking good enough to eat. Ryan had to control herself because her hormones were all over the place. During the whole two months that they had been dating there was no sex. King was the perfect gentleman. They would kiss and make out but he would stop it before it got any further. Ryan thought it was something she had done but when King explained to her that he wanted to get to know her and make love to her mentally


reached the back of her throat.

"Oh shit!" King moaned. Her mouth was warm and it felt good. Ryan was giving him head so good that she could put Super head to shame. King wondered if her pussy was just as good as her head game because baby girl was on point. She was doing such a good job that King was about to bust but he didn't want to go out that way. He pulled her up and kissed her hard but sensually. He was ready to tear her pussy up. He picked her up and pinned her to the shower wall and in one quick thrust he entered her. She gasped at his thickness but then the initial pain she felt turned to pleasure.

"Damn, ma! Yo shitokay, sweetie. He's just upset. Give him some time to cool off. You and Cameron will be alright with us until then."

Ryan didn't understand how things went from sugar to shit so fast. And now here she was pregnant and alone again.

~ ~ ~

King couldn't eat or sleep. It had been two weeks and he missed Ryan like crazy but he couldn't shake the idea of her setting him up. He had let a woman cloud his better judgment and he vowed to never let it happen again. Everything in him wanted to say fuck Ryan but his heart was saying something else. He needed to get his mind off of Ryan so he headed to the motorcycle club to chill and gamble a little. He wasn't a


dead beat." Mia hung up before King could respond.

King couldn't believe Mia had just went off on him but she was right. He was on his way to the barbershop to get a haircut but turned around determined to go get Cam. They could go to the barbershop together and then chill for the rest of the day. When he got to Mia's house the kids were outside playing in the backyard. Cameron saw King immediately and ran to him. "King!"

"What's up little man?" King swept the child up.

"Are we going home now?"

"Naw we going to the barbershop and then we can do whatever you wanna do after that."

"Yay!"

King didn't notice Mia approaching him. "Thanks for listening big head," she said walking up behind him.

"Thanks for getting inthe way he had disrespected her and put her out of his home. As far as she could tell he didn't care that she and Cam had nowhere to go.

"C'mon don't be like that, ma." Her indifferent demeanor was tearing his heart in half. She continued to ignore him but he kept talking. "So how far along are you?" King asked.

She figured that Mia had told him about the pregnancy when she advised him that she was hospitalized. "Ten weeks," she responded dryly.

"So what's the deal with you and this Jarelle cat?" King asked the dreaded question but wasn't sure that he wanted to know the answer.

"Well had you asked me that a week ago instead snapping on me for no reason in front of everyone running my


and headed upstairs. They'd had that one issue but somehow they had overcome it and were closer than ever now.

Ryan enjoyed a quick hot shower and had just walked out of the bathroom still drying off when King walked in the room. "Damn, look at that ass." He wrapped his arms around her damp body.

"Boy move. I need to get dressed before everyone gets here." Ryan tried to push King off of her.

"Come on, ma. We still got time. Just let me get a quickie." King kissed her neck knowing that was her spot. That was all it took. He gently pushed her forward onto the bed. She was now on all fours and he unbuckled his pants allowing his dick to spring out hard as ever. Inone swift motion he entered Ryan from the back and that was all she wrote.

"Damn, ma! Your shit wet as fuck!" Whoever said pregnant pussy was the best ain't never lied. King was fucking the shit out of Ryan when the doorbell rang.

"Baby....the...door." Ryan could barely get her words out.

"Fuck that door. This shit is too good." King kept going.

"Oh shit that's.....my...umm...spot." Ryan called out.

"Cum on this dick, ma. Let that shit out."

Ryan was on the verge of a major orgasm when the doorbell sounded again.

"Shit I'm cuuuummmming!" King yelled out. He exploded and Ryan followed.

Ryan collapsed on the bed as King hurriedly redressed and headed for the door.

"Damn, nigga. What the fuck y'all in here doing?" Harlem fussed when King opened the door. "Got us out here


spoke. "Don't fuck with me on this." He looked over at boo and nodded. "Drop this bitch off on the corner somewhere," he ordered.

~ ~ ~

Ryan woke up to beeping sounds. She didn't know what had happened. For the second time in the last year she found herself confined to a hospital bed. She started to panic when she felt her stomach. It was flatter than it should have been. "My babies! Where are my babies?!"

King walked in the door when he heard Ryan screaming. He had yet to find out what happened. All he knew was that he had received a call from her cell phone. An older lady had found her on the corner passed out and bleeding. The lady called 911 and Ryan was rusheddo it before she woke up.

He headed downstairs and grabbed a drink. As he thought about the recent events he tried to focus on what needed to be done but it took a minute to collect his thoughts. He knew that a lot of bloodshed was forthcoming and after it was all said and done he was taking his family and getting the hell away from Michigan. It was time for new beginnings with Ryan and the kids.

~ ~ ~

Ryan woke up screaming. She had been having nightmares about Cameron getting shot. It had been a whole week and still no change in his condition. She didn't want to face the fact that she may be burying her son soon. It was not something she was looking forward


mental note to thank Emilio for the connection.

Emilio was like a father to King and Harlem. When Harlem retired and passed the torch to King he had introduced King to Emilio personally. With King now holding the reigns Rich Boy Mafia finally had the chance to shine. They had bid their time and worked their way up. Now King had his own team of loyal niggas. King was a boss.

~ ~ ~

The meeting had gone well and now they were celebrating. King had just opened up a few doors for RBM and everyone involved stood to make a pretty penny while also having protection from the police. They didn't have to worry about raids or doing fed time as long as they paid what was due. King madethink she was happy at home because she was way too comfortable in his face. He was going to sit back and wait for her call because he knew it was coming. Imran looked down at his watch and saw it was time for him to head to a meeting. He was meeting with Rich Boy Mafia about a few deals. From what he had been told they were some cool cats so if all went well then it was another business venture. They were actually looking for a distribution deal and Imran was the man to give it to them.

Imran pulled up to the office of Game Over records and headed up to his suite. That was his label and it was doing some hot shit right


nigga was downstairs told him so. After they finished dinner Imran headed home with Ryan on the brain. He was going to have her when it was all said and done. No disrespect to King but he wanted little mama.

The next day he got a text from Ryan.

"I knew she couldn't stay away," he said out loud.

**Ryan:** What we did was wrong and it can't happen again. Please stay away.

**Me:** I can't do that, ma. I want you and you want me so stop playing games.

**Ryan:** Goodbye Imran.

He didn't respond. If she didn't want to fuck with him right now then it was cool. He decided to chill on Shorty until she came to him. He had a feeling she would, just like he'd had a feeling thatTURN ON THE LIGHTS! KANSAS SPEEDWAY AWARDED NIGHT RACE IN 2014

Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia Laschet Visits Israel

September 6, 2018

Since many years ELNET-Germany has chosen the approach to work in German State Parliaments. One of the key states is North Rhine-Westphalia. With 18 million residents and a domestic gross product of over 800 billion dollars, this one single state of Germany is larger and economically stronger than many European countries.

In September 2018, ELNET-Germany was asked by the State Chancellery of North Rhine-Westphalia to prepare specific program points to the state visit of Minister- President Armin Laschet MdL to Israel. Armin Laschet’s visit was considered one of the most important ones in the jubilee year 2018 for Israel, Germany and ELNET-Germany as well.

ELNET offered the Minister-President and his high-ranking delegation, including his Minister for Europe and International Issues, Dr. StephanHolthoff-Pförtner and Dr. Mark Speich, State Secretary for Europe and International Issues as well as 12 journalists a breathtaking briefing on the top of the IDF headquarters in Tel Aviv. Here, current and future security challenges for Israel were discussed. This was followed by a meeting with ELBIT Systems, an Israeli high-tech company specialized in cyber security. The German delegation discussed with Yohai Korem, head of Cyberbit at ELBIT Systems, the cyber threats to private firms and state infrastructure, and also were briefed on how to set up teaching systems and facilities of their own to prevent the eminent danger of cyber-attacks.

The custom-made program points delivered by the ELNET teams in Israel and Germany were received very well by politicians and press and were depicted as one of


other footwear from being damaged. One of the popularly known methods is by applying gels, creams, lotions, or sprays to protect boots. However, this method only protects footwear from minor scratches and stains, as additional protection is required for the parts of the boot more commonly damaged by wear and tear.
Hence, another method was developed to enhance protection on the heel end of the shoe. One of the shoe guard methods previously designed by the present inventor uses a U-shaped wire rod with a correspondingly shaped plate. Its plate also includes an outwardly extending bevel, which prevents dirt and other elements from being lodged between the shoe guard and the shoes. Nevertheless, due to the plate's curved shape, this design only covers a small part of the footwear'sSting TLC 04 Diaz Fall Service Project

Early last summer while traveling home to Dallas from Washington DC, I had the pleasure of meeting two servicemen in the Airport . They were both in the US Air Force. Lt. Colonel Raymond (Rusty) Bradshaw and Captain Erik Hofmeyer of the 442nd Air Expeditionary Squadron in Baghdad, Iraq. They let me know that they were shipping off to Baghdad and that I had just bought them their last beer in the states. I teared up, gave them both hugs and thanked them for their service. A few minutes later, they came back with their wives on FaceTime and introduced me to their families. They were both leaving wives and kids to go and serve our country and protect our freedoms. It


of radical positivity. And the fact that this was indisputably a working-class lived experience — one founded in the solidarity and fraternity of working class lived experience — was crucial. As the band's biographer [Paolo Hewitt] once put it, Oasis were the sound of 'a council estate singing its heart out.'

As Noel Gallagher once commented: 'we were on the dole at the time under Conservative rule … ['Up in the Sky' is] about establishment figures who really didn't have a clue how people were living in England at that time, and what people had done to the country. It's quite an angry song...'

Like 'Rock n Roll Star,' 'Up in the Sky' is a song borne out of a feeling of lowliness and claustrophobia, a feeling of being trappedthat haven't been written about in an in-depth way is ludicrous.Their rise to success is practically a musical folktale at this point — blagging their way onto the fateful King's Tut gig and how they were the biggest seller for Creation Records before the label's implosion. However, Niven does have a point in that study of the songs themselves, paired with the social-economic environment from which they were written, is a relatively new thing. Noel Gallagher has done some of his own retrospective analysis, but it's more difficult to see something's impact when you're still a part of the thing itself.

Synopsis:

Children of the Arctic is a year-in-the-life portrait of five Native Alaskan teenagers coming of age in Barrow, Alaska - the northern-most community of the United States. As they embark on their journey into adulthood in and outside of Barrow, they wrestle with their roles as inheritors of a jeopardized culture. Their decisions are inseparably tied to the fate of their community. Who will carry the Iñupiat torch? Who will choose a more individualistic path? And what hangs in the balance?appellant's place of employment, approached appellant with their guns drawn, handcuffed him, and took him to the Birmingham police station, where he was kept in a locked room for several hours before being questioned.  After being read his Miranda rights, appellant gave a non-incriminating statement concerning events on the night of the crime.  Although admitting that on that evening he had been with two men suspected in the crime, appellant denied any involvement in the rape and murders.  At the end of the statement a police officer told appellant that he might be needed as a witness, and appellant agreed to participate in further questioning.

Six days later, a police officer appeared at appellant's workplace and requested that appellant accompany him to police headquarters for further

In his petition for federal habeas corpus, appellant raised four claims, all of which were denied by the district court without an evidentiary hearing.  On appeal, Agee maintains only two claims, both of which challenge the constitutionality of his statements to the police.  He contends first that the statements were "tainted" by the illegality of his initial arrest by police without probable cause.  Second, he argues that the second and incriminating confession was involuntary, and thus inadmissible, because he believed that an officer's remark at the first questioning session that Agee might be used as a witness contained an implicit promise of immunity against prosecution.speed range of approximately ±30% in the environment of a synchronous speed determined by the frequency of a network and the number of pole pairs of a machine. In the doubly-fed use, the greatest advantage is achieved in the inexpensiveness of the frequency converter equipment since its capacity is to be only about one fourth of the shaft power of the machine if the range of the controlled speed lies in the environment of the synchronous speed. When a controlled speed range lies ±30% from the synchronous speed, the frequency converter is only to supply approximately 100%×30%/(100%+30%)=23% of the shaft power of the machine at a maximum speed if the losses of the machine are ignored.

Greek government borrowed heavily - public spending soared and money flowed out of the government's coffers.

Image caption Protesters demonstrated in Athens in December 2010 against government austerity measures.

However, the revenues the government generated through tax were not enough to counterbalance this, mainly as a result of widespread income tax evasion.

The result was a bulging budget deficit, more than four times the limit under eurozone rules.

In the end Greece was forced to accept a multi-billion euro bailout, by the EU and the IMF, to finance its huge deficit.

The 110bn-euro ($136bn; £94bn) loan was designed to prevent Greece from defaulting on its massive debt.

But despite a programme of government spending cuts and other reforms, its economy has struggled to keep its head above water.

The concerning evidence of disparity in medical care over the last 40 years \[[@pmed.1002942.ref016]\] has prompted a number of initiatives. In 2003, the UK government made reducing health inequality a key priority of national health policy \[[@pmed.1002942.ref017]\]. This was supported by the national Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF), introduced in 2004 \[[@pmed.1002942.ref018]\] to provide financial incentives to general practitioners for monitoring and achieving control of glycaemia, cholesterol, and blood pressure (BP) levels. QOF also rewarded monitoring for disease complications such as retinopathy and neuropathy and urine examination for microalbuminuria. QOF was not introduced with the explicit aim of reducing healthinequality, but its impact on inequality has been the subject of much speculation \[[@pmed.1002942.ref019]--[@pmed.1002942.ref021]\]. Universal quality improvement programmes, such as QOF, have been criticised for initially widening inequality (inverse equity hypothesis) \[[@pmed.1002942.ref022]\]. Earlier reports in 2010 and 2012 suggested that QOF did not impact inequalities, either positively or negatively \[[@pmed.1002942.ref019],[@pmed.1002942.ref023]--[@pmed.1002942.ref026]\].

However, people of South Asian and Black African/Caribbean ethnicity had persistently worse control than people of White ethnicity, despite more intensive treatment \[[@pmed.1002942.ref012]\].

Although across the UK population as a whole, from 2004 to 2012, the National Health Service (NHS) was successful in improving the quality of diabetes healthcare, inequality remained unchanged \[[@pmed.1002942.ref027]\].

Self-taught musician, poet and producer Rachael Sage radiates what MOJO Magazine calls “warm, intelligent…NY indie charm”. An innovative, improvisational keyboardist, she performs over 150 dates a year with her band The Sequins throughout North America, Europe and Asia. In 2009, Sage made her debut at the world’s largest arts festival, Edinburgh Fringe, where she performed a week-long run of her show “Sequins & Shpiel” to rave reviews. A subsequent sold-out revival of the show at New York’s Joe’s Pub was recommended as a “Top Pick” by both the New York Daily News and Time Out.

Sage, who has shared stages with Sarah McLachlan, Judy Collins, Marc Cohn, The Animals and Ani DiFranco, was named one of the


Top 100 Independent Artists Of The Past 15 Years by Performing Songwriter magazine. A Grand Prize-Winner in the John Lennon Songwriting Contest (Rock) as well as 2-time winner of both the OUTMusic and Independent Music Awards, Sage has earned a loyal following for her infectious melodies, poetic lyrics, and often-outrageous, colorful stage banter.

Her new self-produced album, DELANCEY STREET, contains a dozen tracks of what CMJ calls “a resonant mixture of pop, folk and jazz”; inspired by the urgency of the Green Movement as well as her Jewish immigrant heritage, it is Sage’s most revealing work to date.Biographies

A bead of sealant was applied around the outer edge of the cluster cap cover and the area between the cluster cap and radome membrane surface was filled with sealant.
Currently frame panels are assembled rail to rail. Silicone caulk is applied at the rail to rail joint. At the intersection of the corner apexes, an inner support plate (disc) is bolted in place connecting the corner bosses of the frame. The outer cap plate is positioned and bolted into place. Sealant is then applied to fill the gap between the underside of the disc and the membrane panels of the frame. The narrow departure angle of the membrane surfaces precludes

Authorities found a second explosive device in the same place and defused it just before it was due to blow up, it said.

The other bomb exploded in the city's Al-Hammam square, according to SANA, which published video footage showing a burnt-out car surrounded by firefighters and soldiers.

"The terrorist explosion caused the death of one civilian and wounded 14 others," it said, citing a top health official in the province.

Earlier it had reported that the person killed was the driver of the vehicle.

Most of those wounded were hit by shrapnel, the director of the city's Tishrin hospital, Louay Naddaf,


told state television.

Latakia is the fiefdom of President Bashar al-Assad's family.

The city, the capital of Latakia province located on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, has largely escaped the violence that has devastated other regions of Syria since the conflict began in 2011.

But the province has been targeted by "sporadic strikes" by rebels or jihadists, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based war monitor.

The region abuts the last major area outside of the regime's control and which includes much of Idlib province as well as adjacent parts of Hama and Aleppo provinces.

Earlier this month an alliance led by Syria's former Al-Qaeda affiliate took administrative control of the whole of the opposition bastion under a deal with rival rebels.

According to the Observatory, Tuesday's blast in Latakiawas caused by an explosive device hidden inside the car or near it.

Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP that the driver was not a suicide attacker.

In September 2015 a car bomb had exploded in the same square, killing dozens of people.

The latest explosion comes days after a blast -- the first in more than a year -- hit Damascus which has also been largely insulated from the war.

Story continues

According to SANA the bomb blast hit southern Damascus without causing any victims, but the Observatory reported it left a number of people dead and wounded.

Syria is locked in a civil war that has killed more than 360,000 people and displaced millions since a brutal crackdown on anti-government protests in 2011 spiralled into full conflict.

The quality of the fluid dispensing process is also adversely affected by variations in the dispensing gun switching time when the dispensing gun is commanded to close. At the end of a dispensing process, a lengthening of the switching time of the dispensing gun results in adhesive being dispensed for a longer period of time than desired and hence, at a different location than anticipated. Similarly, a shortened switching time can result in a lower quality fluid dispensing process and a scrap part or product.

Barack Obama swept three Democratic contests. Clinton ended her first presidential run four months later and eight years later is the presumptive Democratic nominee.

John McCain (2008): The Arizona senator fired his campaign manager and chief strategist the summer before the nominating contests even began. The problems, an adviser told MSNBC at the time, had to do with poor fundraising and mixed messaging. McCain did go on to win the 2008 GOP primary after campaign manager Terry Nelson and strategist John Weaver’s exit. But he ultimately lost the general election to Obama.

John Kerry (2004): Then-Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry had a few significant personnel changes during his presidential run. In November 2003, Kerry found himself beating back an unlikely challenge from Howard Dean ahead of the New Hampshire primary. Kerrywas able to win in New Hampshire and take the Democratic nomination. Kerry made more changes after a rough August where he faced attacks from Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, and was ultimately unable to defeat incumbent President George W. Bush.

Bob Dole (1996): Just nine weeks before the November election, Bob Dole fired top aides Don Sipple and Mike Murphy as he struggled to gain traction against popular President Bill Clinton. Interestingly enough, Paul Manafort, who has replaced Corey Lewandowski as campaign manager in Trump’s operation, took an expanded role in the Dole campaign’s messaging at that time. Dole was soundly defeated in the general election.

Al Gore (2000): In June of the election year, then-Vice President Al Gore replaced campaign chairman Tony Coelho with William Daley after Coelho


was hospitalized. The move also came during a time when George W. Bush had begun to pull ahead in key states. Gore went on to win the popular vote but lose the Electoral College vote after a Supreme Court ruling that ended a 36-day long recount battle in the state of Florida.

Ronald Reagan (1980): In a rare instance of a campaign dust up on the cusp of a big win, Reagan pushed out campaign manager John Sears and other top aides on Feb. 26, 1980 -- the day he won the New Hampshire primary. And, according to Politifact, that resulted in more staff departures from other staffers loyal to those let go. Reagan, of course, went on to defeat incumbent Democratic President Jimmy Carter.Conclusions of Law, the state court noted that it had "granted DSE's motion for judgment on fraud and unjust enrichment based on Bernadette Bruce-Moreno's theft of at least $299,948.44 from DSE through fraudulent transactions."

Blazer avoids dismissal attempt

Lisle Austin, acting president of CONCACAF, has unsuccessfully attempted to sack Chuck Blazer in the aftermath of the American's accusations of bribery and corruption against the now suspended Jack Warner and Mohamed Bin Hammam.

Austin, who is standing in for Warner, has sent an email to Blazer explaining that he was "terminated as general secretary of CONCACAF with immediate effect", claiming Blazer's conduct was "inexcusable and a gross misconduct of duty and judgement".

However, it later emerged that Austin had no authority to make such a decision in his temporary capacity. The Central and North American governing body subsequently issued a statement out of New York confirming that Blazer would continue "with the full authority of his office".

The statement read: "Today an unauthorised declaration was made byto the FIFA secretary general.

"He has also been meeting with CONCACAF members, which is against the rules of the suspension."

The FIFA Executive Committee is still due to meet on Wednesday for the latest presidential election, despite the FA's request for the vote to be postponed.


5 Moves the Washington Redskins Should Have Made This Offseason

In his first offseason calling all the shots, Washington Redskins president and general manager Bruce Allen has made some impressive moves.

Allen acquired two Pro Bowl players, Jason Hatcher and DeSean Jackson, from NFC East rivals. He also signed and drafted affordable players who can make an immediate impact on what was the worst special teams unit in football last season.

There's always room for improvement, though.

Every NFL GM is second-guessed to some degree and Allen is no different. Here are five moves that the Redskins probably should have made this offseason.

Acquired a Full-Time Return Specialist

Charlie Riedel/Associated Press

According to Football Outsiders, the Redskins had the worst average starting field position in the NFL last season (25.32). A key reason for thatineptitude was a lack of stability at punt and kickoff returner.

Newly-signed wide receiver Andre Roberts has been taking reps at punt and kickoff returner this offseason, according to CSNWashington.com's Rich Tandler. Roberts' career numbers returning punts and kicks don't exactly fly off the page. Per Tandler, he's returned 35 punts for an average of 6.9 yards and 16 kickoffs for a 22.4-yard average.

There were opportunities for the Redskins to acquire punt/kick return specialists this offseason. Despite his fumbling issues with the Denver Broncos, Trindon Holliday had three kickoff returns of 40 yards or more and three punt returns of 40 yards or more in 2013. The New York Giants signed him to a one-year, $700,000 deal.

Devin Hester, one of the greatest return men of all time, was another


player who was available this offseason. He signed a three-year, $9 million deal with the Atlanta Falcons.

Redskins cornerback Richard Crawford showed flashes of being a dependable returner two seasons ago, but after tearing his ACL last preseason, it's a stretch to expect him to fill that role in 2014.

So for now, it's Roberts—not necessarily a bad thing, just more of the same: uncertainty.

Washington did make an effort to sign seven-year veteran tackle Donald Penn this offseason. Penn likely would have been the Redskins' starting right tackle over Tyler Polumbus this season, but he instead signed with the Oakland Raiders.

Robert Griffin III's health is paramount if Washington is going to have any chance at the playoffs in 2014. Rookie offensive linemen Spencer Long and Morgan Moses are the future,but a ton is riding on the play of Lauvao, Chester and Polumbus.

Drafted Guard David Yankey

Rookie wide receiver Ryan Grant may turn out to be a fine pro, but it's safe to say that the Redskins reached when they drafted him with the second pick in the fifth round.

Selected three picks later by the Minnesota Vikings was David Yankey, the All-American guard from Stanford. SI.com's Doug Farrar thinks Yankey was the Vikes' most underrated draft pick:

Going into the 2014 draft, it was thought by many that Yankey was on the same basic level as UCLA's Xavier Su'a-Filo; we had Yankey 31st overall in our SI 64 pre-draft rankings. But he fell all the way to the fifth round, while the freakishly talented Su'a-Filo went 33rd overall to the


made the right decision by locking in starting cornerback DeAngelo Hall to a four-year deal this offseason, but little else was done to provide veteran depth at the position.

Behind Hall and second-year corner David Amerson is veteran Tracy Porter, formerly of the Oakland Raiders. Porter has had a knack for the big play throughout his career, but he is coming off a season in which he was graded as the 103rd overall corner in the league by Pro Football Focus. Washington signed him to a two-year, $6 million deal.

It gets even thinner behind Porter. Rookie Bashaud Breeland is promising, but green. E.J. Biggers wasn't overly impressive last season. And Richard Crawford didn't play last season due to a torn ACL.

LONDON (AP) — Cambridge University has purchased a photographic record of one of Britain's great heroic failures — Capt. Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated Antarctic expedition.

The university's Scott Polar Research Institute said Monday it had raised 275,000 pounds ($458,000) to buy 113 photographic negatives from the journey, which were at risk of being sold abroad.

Scott, an icon of the heroic age of polar exploration, reached the South Pole in January 1912, only to discover that he'd been beaten by Norway's Roald Amundsen. Scott and four companions died of hunger and exhaustion on the trek back to base camp. The discovery of their bodies, alongside letters and diaries


recording their stoicism in the face of doom, turned them into national heroes.

The negatives, taken by Scott, show the expedition members and their ponies camping and hauling sleds laden with provisions as they made their way toward the Pole in 1911.

The negatives were believed lost until they were discovered in 2012 in a private collection. The owner offered Cambridge the first chance to buy them, but said they would be sold at auction if the money could not be found.

The Scott institute said it had raised the money through a 233,000 pound grant from the government-funded National Heritage Memorial Fund, as well as private donations.

Explorer Ranulph Fiennes, who had backed the campaign to keep the pictures for the public, said the images "speak so powerfully to us ofSchool teacher and the union president.

The state missed its first aid payment to schools this week because lawmakers are still negotiating an overhaul of its education funding formula, which determines how money is distributed to Illinois schools.

The General Assembly approved a new formula with mostly Democratic support in May through Senate Bill 1, but Gov. Bruce Rauner used an amendatory veto this month to send the legislation back to lawmakers with recommendations for change.

strength of feeling about the proposed ban was highlighted in Budapest on Thursday when the prime minister’s Hungarian counterpart, Viktor Orbán, told him to alter the plan or risk portraying EU workers as parasites. Orbán said he was confident the Visegrad group would reach an agreement with Cameron on his welfare reforms. But the Hungarian prime minister said the reforms must not discriminate against citizens from the Visegrad countries and other EU member states who are entitled to claim tax credits in the UK.

The easiest way to avoid charges of discrimination would be for the four-year ban on in-work benefits to also apply to British citizens. But a proposal discussed in Downing Street a few months ago, which would have applied the ban to British citizens aged 18-22,Christian Oxlade-Chamberlain will leave Pompey to sign for Notts County.
