Whitby, Ont., resident Melissa Lopez says she was surprised when she brought her daughter Elianna to a new dentist last year and was told the 10-year-old had nine cavities.

The mother of three said she was told the child would require thousands of dollars in dental work. Because the family doesn't have dental insurance, they would have to pay for the work themselves, so Lopez decided to get a second opinion.

Another dentist in the area told her Elianna had fewer cavities, so Lopez decided to get the fillings completed at that clinic and said she didn't notify the other dentist that she had made the switch.

In June, she received a call from the Children's Aid Society, saying the first dentist had reported her for possible "oral neglect" of hera cover, while the other flow channel is formed in the housing part to which the drive unit is typically mounted, on the shaft of which the impeller is arranged to rotate therewith. The impeller is designed at its periphery so that it forms one or two circumferential vortex ducts together with the flow channel or the flow channels surrounding the impeller.
In side-channel blowers with two axially opposite vortex ducts, the impeller blades are divided axially across a radial section into two sections which are respectively assigned to the opposite flow channel. Pockets are formed between the impeller blades in which, when the impeller rotates, the fluid conveyed is accelerated by the impeller blades in the circumferential direction as well as in the radial direction so that a


circulating vortex flow is generated in the flow channel. With impeller blades of a radially open design, an overflow from one flow channel to the other most often occurs via the gap between the radial end of the impeller and the radially opposite housing wall.
In order to obtain the best possible conveyance or pressure increase, different measures have been taken in conveying gases and liquids which are due to the different behavior of compressible and incompressible or slightly compressible media when they are conveyed.
The generation of noise should also be taken into account when conveying in side-channel blowers since acoustically disturbing pressure surges occur at the beginning of the interruption zone immediately after a medium has flowed over each impeller blade because compressed gas is still present inby Alex Poletti

In an official statement from the Commissioner’s Office early Wednesday morning, Major League Baseball nullified Athletics pitcher Mike Fiers’ no-hitter, the second of his career, because it came against the Cincinnati Reds.

“After careful review, we have ruled that this game does not count,” MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred says. “The rules are clear: a no-hitter must come against another MLB team. What we saw last night was not an MLB team.”

The Reds have the second most losses in the National League, while hitting a measeley .212 in their first 36 games, tied for worst in all of baseball.

In what would have been the 300th no-hitter in MLB history, Fiers fanned six and walked two. Although he was disappointed, the journeyman understood the decision.

“I get it, the caliber


standards that Mr Trump’s month-old administration is setting, this is shocking. Mr Sessions was confirmed, despite longstanding allegations that he is a racist, by trading on his reputation as a tough but principled politician. It now seems possible, hot on the heels of Mike Flynn’s sacking as national security adviser, that he could become the second senior member of Mr Trump’s government to lose his job over secret chats with Mr Kislyak in less than a month.

In a sign that Mr Sessions was in trouble, several Republican congressmen promptly urged him to recuse himself from any of the several investigations by his department into Russia’s role in the election. They included Jason Chaffetz and Kevin McCarthy in the House of Representatives and, in the Senate, Rob Portman ofOhio, who is emerging as a rare exemplar of measured opposition to Mr Trump. Mr Sessions, he said, “is a former colleague and a friend, but I think it would be best for him and for the country to recuse himself” from the relevant probes.

Mr Trump was having none of that. Asked on March 2nd whether he stood behind Mr Sessions, whose strong antipathy to illegal immigration made him an early passenger on the Trump train, the president said he had “total” confidence in him. He also said Mr Sessions had “probably” told the truth in his Senate confirmation hearing and should not recuse himself from any investigation.

A couple of hours later, at a press conference called to address the scandal, Mr Sessions said he had recused himself

Barzani, a slight figure walking with a sway and invariably clad in the studied simplicity of khaki, has led the Kurds of Iraq for 12 years, the last two as a de facto president of the semi-autonomous Kurdish region in the north of post-Saddam Iraq. His burden, and his cause, throughout a lifetime as a revolutionary, then statesman, has been to transform aspirations into sovereignty. Ranged against him – for now at least – is the rest of Iraq, the US, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the UK, France, the European Union and the Arab League. In favour is Israel, a declaration he could probably have done without.

The vitriol between Baghdad and Erbil has a real manifestation on the ground. As part of thepost-Iraq war settlement, the Kurdistan region was guaranteed annual injections of money from central funds, but that agreement collapsed amid a row over oil receipts.

Now, at first sight, there is a mass of construction work in and around the city, which is home to 850,000 people. Up close, the view is different: stalled construction, immobile cranes, the skeletons of half-finished skyscrapers sending out the message: no money. A debt of at least $20bn (£14.7bn) and fickle revenue stream add little comfort.

an almost certain win in Iraq would galvanise Kurdish minorities in their own countries, as well as Syria.

The multi-ethnic city of Kirkuk, which has been fought over by Kurds, Arabs and Turkmen throughout the ages, and controlled by the Kurdistan regional government for the past three years, has been included in the referendum. The move led Suleimani and Hadi al-Amiri, the leader of Iraq’s Shia militia, to threaten military force to retake the city.

The Iraqi government continues with its message that the referendum is in breach of the constitution and a potential trigger for the breakdown of the country, which was declared independent in 1932 when the post-Ottoman British mandate officially ended. To that charge, Barzani argued Iraq was a consequence of the Sykes-Picot document of 1916, afield. There are whitethorn bushes growing round it and a 'lone' bush in the centre.

Earlier this year, Attorney-General Nicola Roxon declared that she was determined to cast the widest net for the nation's top judges.

She said she was seeking greater diversity including in the attributes of gender, professional background, geography and cultural background.

"What I want is that people don't think they can only nominate a commercial barrister from Sydney, who's a man," Ms Roxon told The Age in March.

Today, Ms Roxon said Mr Gageler, a former Sydney barrister, was ''the best person for the job".

Mr Gageler will be the 49th person appointed to the High Court since Federation. Mr Gageler, 54, has served as the Commonwealth Solicitor-General since September 2008.Adelaide United recruit James Troisi says the moves involving himself and Melbourne Victory coach Marco Kurz will add more fuel to the A-League rivalry between the two clubs.

Socceroos midfielder Troisi moved across from Victory last month and Melbourne swooped on Kurz to replace Kevin Muscat, after the German coach's contract wasn't renewed by Adelaide.

The two teams clash at Coopers Stadium on Saturday in what Troisi rated as probably the biggest home game of the season for United.

With no other South Australian A-League club, Troisi said the match against Victory was Adelaide's equivalent of a derby given the great rivalry and history between the two clubs.

"I guess this one (on Saturday) is a little bit more enhanced because Marco has gone to Victory and I've come to Adelaide, so


had a good start but they've got some good players, so if you get complacent they can punish you."

Troisi said Adelaide's leading scorer Riley McGree had been mentally strong since learning of his suspension from the Olyroos.

McGree and three players from other clubs were found to have committed "unprofessional conduct" over an incident involving a woman in Cambodia in March.

"It's good that it's resolved now and he can just kick on and continue to do what he's doing, focus on his football," Troisi said.

"He's been pretty mentally strong and just come in every day and gone about his business.

"He's doing well, he's playing playing some good football and scoring some goals as well and we need him to continue to do that.

"We need more from him and I'mis to go straight to the source. And frankly, the political and policy positions of the CPUSA and the statist Democrat Party leadership today constitute a distinction without much difference.

Dolezal, as you may recall, is the award-winning black woman who formerly led the office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in her hometown of Spokane, Washington. Dolezal also taught African-American studies at Eastern Washington University.

Problem is, Dolezal isn’t actually black. She was, and remains, a Caucasian woman, a Euro-American who shamelessly passed herself

He noted that assimilation has always been the basis for our strong national foundation.

Today, almost three decades after “The Disuniting of America was published, ethnocentricity has become a(CNN) Singaporean leader Lee Hsien Loong's siblings have launched a stunning public broadside against their elder brother, accusing him of misusing his power and influence over government to drive a personal agenda.

At the heart of Lee's brother and sister's extraordinary public statement, released Wednesday , is the issue of the disposal of their late father Lee Kuan Yew's home in central Singapore.

In the statement, Lee's sister, Lee Wei Ling, and his brother, Lee Hsien Yang, claim the prime minister "deliberately misrepresented" his father's wishes for his home to be demolished in order to gain political mileage.

They claim the prime minister and his wife oppose the demolition because preserving the home would enhance his political capital.

Lee Kuan Yew, who is credited with turning Singapore from a resource-poor colonial trading


post into one of the world's most successful economies, died in 2015 . He served as the country's leader from 1959 to 1990.

Wei Ling and Hsien Yang also took aim at Lee's wife, Ho Ching, accusing her of having "pervasive influence" despite holding no elected or official position in government, adding they suspect the couple of milking Lee Kuan Yew's legacy and harboring political ambitions for their son, Li Hongyi.

Lee Hsien Loong is currently overseas on holiday with his family. He posted a short statement on his Facebook account, saying he was "disappointed" his siblings had chosen to attack him publicly.

"I am very disappointed that my siblings have chosen to issue a statement publicizing private family matters. I am deeply saddened by the unfortunate allegations that they havemade.

"Ho Ching and I deny these allegations, especially the absurd claim that I have political ambitions for my son."

His response says the statement from his younger brother and sister "has hurt our father's legacy," and that he would "continue serving Singaporeans honestly" to the best of his ability.

The prime minister said he would address the issue more fully on his return.

Fears of repercussions

Lee's siblings, in their statement, also claimed Hsien Yang will be leaving Singapore as they feared "the use of state organs" against them and Hsien Yang's wife.

"Singapore is and remains my country," Hsien Yang said in the joint statement. "I have no desire to leave. Hsien Loong is the only reason for my departure."

It is the second time in as many years that the family has


feuded publicly -- the two younger children also accused the prime minister of abusing his power in 2016, in the run-up to the first anniversary of their father's death.

Southeast Asian dynasty

The younger siblings say their brother's path was smoothed by the family's patriarch, and founder of the city-state, who is revered in Singapore.

The Lee family looms large over Singapore's establishment, and the internal strife, while not unknown, will come as a shock due to the public manner in which it has been aired. The authoritarian city-state, which won its independencefrom Malaysia in the 1960s, has very strict laws regarding free speech and the media.

While the elder Lee was lauded for his economic accomplishments, he also created a Singapore bound by stringent laws and regulations that dictated most, if not all, aspects of society -- including media and political freedoms, censorship and even the selling of chewing gum.

The younger Lee became the country's third prime minister in 2004 and most recently won reelection by a landslide in 2015

"Nobody ever doubted that Lee Kuan Yew always held the best interests of Singapore and Singaporeans at heart. He was authentic and spoke


his mind. The same cannot be said for our brother, Lee Hsien Loong and his wife, Ho Ching," the joint statement reads.

"We believe, unfortunately, that Hsien Loong is driven by a desire for power and personal popularity. His popularity is inextricably linked to Lee Kuan Yew's legacy."

The home at the center of the fight

Lee Kuan Yew's 38 Oxley Road home, is a pre-war bungalow the country's founding father had lived in since the 1940s. In his will, the elder Lee had asked for the building to be demolished immediately after his death, or if his daughter, Wei Ling, preferred to live in it, after she moved out.

All three of Lee's children publicly issued a statement in 2015, saying they hoped the state would honor their father's wishes. LeeHsien Loong also said he would recuse himself from all government decisions involving the home. An online survey that same year found that a majority of the Singaporeans polled supported the demolition of the house.

However, in Wednesday's statement, Wei Ling and Hsien Yang claimed the prime minister and his wife are behind what is represented as government initiatives to preserve the house.

They further alleged Hsien Loong threatened them and demanded their silence over their father's wishes "hoping to inherit the faith Singaporeans had in Lee Kuan Yew through the visible symbol of the house."

"He wanted to appear filial in public whilst acting to thwart our parents' wishes in private," they said.

The siblings said Lee Kuan Yew's wishes went public in Singapore "only after the international press carried the


(the "Union Constitution"). Plaintiff is an unincorporated labor organization with its principal office in Brewster, New York, and regularly conducts its business and activities in the States of New York and Connecticut. Defendant, a resident of Connecticut, was a member of Local 38 during some, but not all, times relevant to this case. Defendant was charged with violations of the Union Constitution, and he was fined $21,000.
This court conducted a one-day bench trial on December 12, 1995. This opinion constitutes the court's findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 52(a). For the reasons discussed below, we enter judgment in favor of defendant.

DISCUSSION
Defendant Tripodi had been a loyal member of Local 38 for some thirty years. In March 1993, defendant was laid off by his employer,Donald Creadore Co. Inc. Defendant claims that he was laid off, at least in part, because he was a loyal member of Local 38 and adhered to union rules. Local 38 declined to champion his cause when he was laid off, and Tripodi was left to seek work elsewhere.[1] Unable to find work with a "union shop," defendant opened his own business in May 1993 under the name of Professional Sheet Metal and Roofing, Inc. The Union Constitution requires that members who become owners of a sheet metal shop or business obtain a withdrawal card and, inter alia, operate under a union agreement ("Union Agreement").
In August 1994, Local 38 received an anonymous tip that a member of Local 38 was conducting sheet metal work without a Union Agreement.


After an investigation, Local 38 concluded that Tripodi was the responsible party. On October 5, 1994, at a hearing *292 before the Executive Council of Local 38 (the "Hearing"), Tripodi was charged with violating seven provisions of the Union Constitution. After the Hearing, the Executive Council issued a fine of $3,000 per violation, or a total of $21,000. Defendant has neither paid nor appealed this fine. Local 38 brought the instant action to collect the $21,000 fine assessed at the Hearing.
Defendant's principal argument is that he was no longer a member of Local 38 at the time of the alleged violations and at the time of the Hearing. He argues that the Executive Committee and Local 38 thus lacked the power to issue a fine against him. Heargues in the alternative that, even assuming that he technically was a member of Local 38, plaintiff still may not fine him for operating a sheet metal business without a Union Agreement because he was given leave to do so.
At trial, Local 38 presented three witnesses and introduced various documents into evidence. The crux of its case is as follows:
1) In August 1994, defendant Tripodi performed sheet metal work at two locations without first receiving a "withdrawal card" from Local 38. At the time, Tripodi was a member of Local 38 and a signatory to the Union Constitution which provided, inter alia, that
Good standing members who become owners, partners, agents, contractors, or subcontractors ... of a sheet metal shop or business ... shall be eligible to receive and


own sheet metal business.
The facts that defendant continued to pay "union dues" through October 1994, and that he sent a letter purportedly terminating his membership on October 21, 1994 are not dispositive. His membership already had terminated in July 1993 by operation of the Union Constitution. Tripodi concedes that he continued to pay "union dues" through October 1994, but he testified that he did so because he believed that it was the only way to maintain health benefits for himself and his family. We find defendant's testimony credible. Furthermore, he testified that he was granted leave by board members of Local 38 to build up his business and to sign a Union Agreement (i.e., become a union shop) when he felt he could afford to join. We findFederal Rules of Civil Procedure provides that matters are deemed admitted when a party fails to respond to properly submitted requests for admission. The requested admission, if made, would preclude Tripodi from disputing that he was a member of Local 38 at the time of the alleged violations of the Union Constitution and at the Hearing. In this case, however, we are reluctant to preclude defendant from disputing that he was a member of Local 38 during the times in question based solely on his failure to comply with discovery requirements of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The sanctions expressed by Rule 36(a) are not mandatory: The Rule expressly provides that the court may shorten or lengthen the time a party is allowed to respond. See Fed.


membership had terminated by operation of the Union Constitution. Also, plaintiff suffered no prejudice due to its reliance (even assuming it was reasonable) on the deemed admission that defendant was a member of Local 38. Plaintiff was prepared to (and did) prove up defendant's membership with evidence that defendant paid "union dues" through the end of October 1994 and terminated his membership by letter received on October 24, 1994.
Finally, defendant appeared at trial pro se, and has been pro se since September 15, 1995. Although defendant was technically represented by counsel at the time that plaintiff served the Requests for Admission, defendant released his attorney very shortly thereafter due to rising legal costs. Defendant may not have been aware of the Request for Admission, much less of theshop is undisputed. Indeed, even plaintiff's witness, Mr. Hertel, President of Local 38, acknowledged that he was aware that defendant was in the process of building up his own business without a union card. Finally, defendant was specifically told by board members of Local 38 that he could operate his own business and become a union shop when he felt financially capable. Defendant reasonably relied on representations by plaintiff that he would be permitted to operate his business without signing a Union Agreement, even though he was paying "union dues" in order to maintain health care coverage for him and his family. In such circumstances, plaintiff should not be allowed to impose a fine against defendant for committing the very act that plaintiff gave him leave to perform.

Variety has chosen its 10 Comics to Watch for 2015.

The series recognizes standups, sketch artists and Web content creators, who will be honored at the Just for Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal in July.

Selected by a team of Variety editors based on extensive polling of the professional comedy community — those who scout, book, represent, produce and cast comics on a daily basis — the group will be profiled in the July 14 issue of Variety and honored with a cocktail party and panel July 23 and 24 at the festival.

These are the 10 comics selected:

Afghan president Hamid Karzai praised Afghan security forces for their bravery and speedy action to control the situation and kill a group of suicide bombers who attacked the Afghan spy agency on Wednesday.

Six suicide bombers launched a coordinated attack on Afghanistan’s spy agency in Kabul on Wednesday, killing two people and wounding 30 others.

The attack started at around noon when a suicide attacker detonated a large car bomb near a gate of one of the National Directorate of Security’s (NDS) buildings.

Afghan presidential palace following a statement said Afghan security forces shot dead the remaining suicide bombers who were looking to detonate their explosives and kill further innocent Afghans.

In a statement released on their propaganda website, Voice of Jihad, the Taliban


claimed the attack, and said they would provide further details.

“Mujahideen of the Islamic Emirate conducted a martyrdom attack on the main local spy agency in the center of Kabul city today at about 12:00 p.m. inflicting the enemy fatal losses,” the statement said. “The attack comes as a large number of the invading ISAF advisers came to the agency.”

The security agency has been a common target for insurgents in recent months. Afghan spy chief, Asadullah Khalid, was badly wounded last month in an assassination attempt in an agency guesthouse. Attacks in October also killed intelligence agents in the southern provinces of Kandahar and Helmand.For the 19 students of Devschool online coding bootcamp, September 27 started off like any other day. They hopped on their computers, checked email, and logged into the Slack messaging app to talk about coding with one another and Jim O'Kelly, their instructor and the founder of the school.

Just one day before, O'Kelly had been on the Slack group talking with students and teaching. But on this Tuesday, O'Kelly was more quiet than usual. He posted a snippet of code on Slack at 10:45 a.m. PT, and after that, he was nowhere to be found.

The students chatted among themselves wondering where O'Kelly could be. Certainly O'Kelly, a tattooed man known for his quick temper, was a quirky fellow--he taught the students out of the resort town of Puerto


Vallarta, Mexico, for example--but he was always accessible online. Some who had lectures scheduled for that day were angry to find they'd been stood up. Others were concerned.

"We were thinking maybe there's a family emergency or maybe he's sick," says Jane Lundgren, 26, of Las Vegas, who enrolled in Devschool in April.

The following day, O'Kelly didn't show up for any of his scheduled appointments with the students. He didn't answer their phone calls or emails. The normally loud O'Kelly was radio silent.

His uneasy students began to formulate theories. "We really didn't want to believe that we had been deserted," says Lundgren, who had paid $5,988 in tuition.

Candy Davis, a 35-year-old student from Gary, Indiana, had paid $5,488 to enroll in the school in late April as a wayto get back into the work force. She reached out to O'Kelly's assistant, who tried answering the many questions the students were posting. And then, according to Davis, on September 28, the assistant broke the news that all but confirmed the students' worst fear: O'Kelly had changed all of the passwords to the school's bank accounts.

"This dude is gone," Davis recalls thinking. "He is gone."

All sympathy for O'Kelly evaporated. The students began searching for any information they could find about him over the following days.

They ditched Devschool's Slack group and set up their own. They Google-searched O'Kelly's name, email addresses, usernames, and notable tidbits he'd mentioned. They took screenshots of everything--their Slack conversations, the website, their email exchanges. And they reached out to anyone they could find who


might be able to help.

Someone gave one of the students a tip: O'Kelly had previously gone by the name Eric James O'Kelly. The student, 32-year-old newlywed Joe Carlino of Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, typed the name into Google. The first result was a photo that resembled O'Kelly. Carlino followed the links. He ended up on the Most Wanted list of the Sheriff's Office of Clackamas County, Oregon. He scrolled down, and there he was--the likeness was unmistakable.

"Eric James O'Kelly is wanted on charges of Assault, Menacing and Criminal Mischief," the webpage reads, describing an alleged attack by O'Kelly on a relative that included a threat to burn her house down. O'Kelly failed to appear in court on the charges, says Clackamas County Sheriff's Office Sergeant Brian Jensen.

Angry anddisgusted, Carlino shut off his computer, launching into what he later described as "an expletive-laden tirade" mere feet from his wife. She asked him what was wrong, and Carlino showed her the computer. "We just lost $5,000 dollars," Carlino recalls her saying.

In total, the students estimate O'Kelly may have made off with more than $100,000 of their money.

Since O'Kelly's disappearance, the students have reported the incident and the bootcamp founder to a variety of authorities, including the Federal Trade Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, their respective state attorneys general, the FBI's Cyber Division, and the tip line of the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office. They have also contacted their respective credit card companies.

Inc. reached out to O'Kelly for comment by email and telephone on multiple occasions, but he


did not respond.

A wild and booming market

In recent years, the market for privately owned coding bootcamps has blown up across the U.S. Every year, dozens of new schools open, promising to teach anyone who can type the skills necessary to make a career in software development. These schools, most of which teach students in person, charge a fraction of the tuition that computer science programs at traditional universities do, and they promise to teach students in a matter of weeks, not years. More important still, these schools often guarantee jobs or boast of job-placement rates well above 95 percent for students who graduate.

It's a market that has already attracted tens of thousands of students, and it only keeps growing. These schools will graduate nearly 18,000 students in 2016,it'll take years for bootcamps to remedy that reputation," says Darrell Silver, co-founder and CEO of Thinkful, an online coding bootcamp based in New York City. "Bad actors slow us down, so it's in all of our interests to call them out quickly and fix the situation for students."

A trail of questions

The students aren't sure if it was O'Kelly's plan to scam them all along, but it's clear he had been acting questionably for quite some time.

The Devschool website prominently features testimonials from several "alumni," with the individuals' names appearing alongside company names and small photos.

One is "Eric Douglas," who is listed as an employee for Intuit. "Our records do not indicate that anyone by that name has ever been employed by Intuit," a spokeswoman for the enterprise


software company says.

Another individual is listed as "Meghan Holden." But the photo belongs to someone of a different name, who posted the picture on her Facebook profile. The version on Devschool's website appears to have been flipped and put through photo-editing software. That person says she was shocked to find her likeness used on the website.

"It's super weird and terrible," says the woman, who denies having attended Devschool or written the testimonials on the website. The woman did, however, write a seven-word review in April 2015 for O'Kelly that was published on Codementor.io, a website where programmers turn to one another for help. She says she vaguely remembers having used O'Kelly's tips on Codementor to help a friend learn more about the Ruby on Rails programming language. Shealso does not work for "Akai Marketing," which is the company following the name Meghan Holden on the Devschool website.

"I had no idea that I was being used to market a dev bootcamp," says the woman, who asked that her name not be used to avoid problems with her employer.

Some of the names used in these testimonials, such as Meghan Holden, also appear on coding bootcamp review websites alongside glowing reviews of Devschool. The students say they now suspect most of those reviews, if not all of them, are fake.

More testimonials are listed at the footer of the website, including one credited to the New Jersey student Carlino, who denies penning it. "I never wrote that," says Carlino, who enrolled in the school in February and paid $4,988


anyone with O'Kelly's name having worked at or been placed by it the past decade. Microsoft also confirms that it has no record of any current or former employee or contractor with the last name O'Kelly in its files.

People who worked with O'Kelly say he showed little regard for playing by the rules.

Justin Frevert, 23, a Devschool student, served as an intern for O'Kelly for a few weeks in August. He says O'Kelly was a self-taught coder but boasted about falsifying information about attending schools to get jobs. "It's just been the strangest situation I've ever been a part of," says Frevert, who adds that he enrolled in the school in late April and paid about $6,000 in tuition.

For a few months, O'Kelly employed Adam Tolley, 34, asoftware developer in Middletown, Maryland, who helped teach the students. Tolley says O'Kelly told him more than once he didn't pay taxes. The message, Tolley says, was clear: "I'm paying you, and you have the freedom of whether or not you want to pay taxes on this because I'm not going to pay taxes." Tolley says he plans on paying those taxes. "He billed this almost like a benefit to me."

It all starts to spiral

O'Kelly was always an eccentric character during lessons, says Erika Johnson, 40, of Washington, D.C., who enrolled in May and paid $5,488 in tuition. He had a penchant for oversharing personal information and sometimes ripped hits from a colorful glass bong during video lectures with the students. His body was covered in eye-catching tattoos


(his right forearm says "b. social" in an old-timey typewriter font while his left features a variation of the red Amsterdam flag with three bold black X's). But at least in the early months of 2016, students say they were learning from him.

"I did learn some stuff," Johnson says. "I can write some code, and I didn't know anything before I started."

The students were drawn into the school for a variety of reasons. Johnson, for example, needed a flexible school that she could attend during a cross-country move. Others, like Benjamin Soung, 25, of New York, liked that it was a go-at-your-own pace curriculum, allowing them to work as quickly or slowly as they needed to. And many of the students, like Frevert, liked that the school toutedlooking back."

Over time, the mood at Devschool started to change. The quality of O'Kelly's teaching declined, students say, as he lost patience with them and appeared disinterested in their projects. Simultaneously, his live video webchat sessions became more sporadic, the students say.

One such instance occurred in July, according to Tolley. He informed O'Kelly how he had taught a certain lesson. It was different than the method O'Kelly preferred, and that appeared to set O'Kelly off. He became hostile and accusatory, Tolley says. Ultimately, O'Kelly disconnected Tolley from the Slack group. According to Tolley, O'Kelly sent him an email informing him he was fired and that he would not be paid for his last couple of weeks of work because he had mishandled lessons (Tolley contests these claims, and


the students say Tolley was an excellent instructor).

After Tolley tried collecting unemployment, O'Kelly fired off another message, calling him a "loser" who had been only a contractor and therefore gets "shit for being fired chump," according to an email reviewed by Inc.

"It became a very unprofessional relationship very quickly," Tolley says.

A new student had a similar incident with O'Kelly. After taking her first class in early July, Sissy Wang, 24, concluded she had made a mistake. Wang says she didn't think O'Kelly had done a good job teaching, didn't live up to the marketing of Devschool, and was rude. He told her that if she wasn't happy, she should leave and that he would give her a refund, she says.

Wang says she dropped out based on the promise,but when she tried collecting her refund, O'Kelly gave her back only $3,581 of the $5,600 she had paid. Having taken a single class, Wang says she was shocked and disappointed by how little O'Kelly refunded her. After she protested the refund, O'Kelly became aggressive, she says.

"He said some really mean things ... something like 'If you quit the school, it's all your fault. You can never become a programmer,'" Wang says. "I was talking about money, and he tried to personally attack and humiliate me."

Hoping to help others, Wang left negative reviews about the school. That appeared to set off O'Kelly in a way the students had never seen. In the Slack group, he threatened to ruin Wang's reputation.

"I'll write a fucking website about her crazy shit.


I could make her unhirable [sic]," he wrote on Slack, according to a screenshot sent to this reporter by one of the students. "I am sooooo fucking mad."

O'Kelly sent her threatening emails and attacked her on review sites, posting her personal information publicly, which he later deleted, Wang says.

"He started pressuring students to write responses and talk about how great the school was," Davis adds. "I was not willing to do that because I'm thinking to myself, 'Until I can actually get through this school and say you've filled your end of the educational contract, I'm not going to vouch for you.'"

"He started spiraling," Davis says. "It became too glaringly obvious to overlook the shortcomings in the education that we were receiving."

Between the two incidents, several at theschool became rattled. Many began looking to online sources to fill the educational gaps O'Kelly was leaving. Some decided to quit and ask for refunds. Among them was Soung, the New York student.

Tolley's and Wang's departures "threw off red flags," says Soung, who enrolled in July and decided to leave after just a few weeks. "Things started to feel a little suspicious to me, a little fishy."

After only a few sessions, Soung, who says he paid $14,000 in tuition, approached his request for a refund with care. He came up with a serious albeit vague emergency as an excuse for why he had to leave and get his money back. O'Kelly refunded about $12,500, Soung says.

Around this time, the students also began to see the number of new


good job of being private detectives," Tolley says. "If I can give Jim any credit, it would be that he picked the students really well."

Many of the students do not believe they'll recoup their money, but already things have started to look up.

On Wednesday, Thinkful announced that it would help any former Devschool student. The online school says it will apply half of whatever any Devschool student paid in tuition toward Thinkful's web development bootcamp.

"Please don't distrust all schools just because of one fly-by-night player," says Silver, the Thinkful CEO. Already, Lundgren has signed up, and Soung joined in September after leaving Devschool.

The former students believe O'Kelly is still operating out of Mexico. He had mentioned plans to relocate from Puerto Vallarta to Puebla, a major city inAP Photo: AP Image 1 of / 1 Caption Close Video shows another BART cop hitting passenger 1 / 1 Back to Gallery

BART officials said Saturday that they will investigate the actions of one of the transit agency's police officers after a video surfaced showing the officer striking a passenger - apparently Oscar Grant - minutes before the unarmed young man was fatally shot by another officer early on New Year's Day.

The cell phone video, one of a handful that have surfaced, aired Friday night on KTVU-TV. It shows a male BART police officer walking over to three men lined up against a wall near a female officer, and then striking one in the face.

The victim of the punch - identified by Channel 2 as 22-year-old Grant -


slides to the ground. The video then shows the moments preceding the shooting, then the shooting itself. It appears that the officer who punches the man is the same person who later is seen kneeling on Grant's head when he was shot.

Sources have identified that officer as Tony Pirone. He and the other officers present at the time of Grant's shooting all remain on paid administrative leave while the investigation continues, but until Saturday BART was not investigating the conduct of anyone besides Johannes Mehserle, 27, who shot Grant.

Mehserle later resigned from the force and was charged with murder. He pleaded not guilty and is being held without bail.

Police investigators have said Grant put up a brief struggle with officers but was restrained and had both arms behindhis back when he was shot. It was not clear whether the struggle investigators referred to was the same incident caught on the new video.

But Peter Keane, a professor at Golden Gate University Law School and police expert, said Saturday night the video shows a "vicious, unprovoked and inexcusable assault" by the other police officer that should be prosecuted and that seems to have set off events that led to the shooting.

"With that powerful punch, he slams Mr. Grant in the side of his head and knocks him down even though it doesn't appear Grant is doing anything but talking - maybe he is mouthing off but there was no physical provocation," Keane said. "Why is the other officer not being prosecuted? It was a clearly a deliberate,


abusive use of force."

He said the video is damning to Mehserle, too.

In a written statement released Saturday evening, BART General Manager Dorothy Dugger said she takes the "new allegation of police use of unreasonable force extremely seriously" and has directed BART Police Chief Gary Gee to conduct an internal affairs investigation. The officer was not identified in the statement.

Noting that the investigation into Grant's shooting is ongoing, Dugger vowed to "fully examine" any new evidence and urged KTVU to provide the agency and Alameda County district attorney's office - which is prosecuting Mehserle - with the video.

BART's board of directors voted unanimously on Jan. 12 to create a special committee that will provide additional oversight of the agency's Police Department.

Trouble has been brewing in Saudi Arabia, the jewel of the US empire, under the very eyes of the imperialists. Since circa 1980, the socially stabilising economic redistribution mechanisms, the objective pillars holding society together, were neoliberally eroded. As for the subjective grounds, or the political US-backing that the Saudi monarchy enjoys, it so happens that until about 2011, the timing of the Arab Spring, the Saudi-comprador class’ surreal social and political practice received low-key criticism. Saudi Arabia is the only place where the outstanding atrocities of the royal family, not just the beheadings, but the infusion and funding of pro-imperialist Islamist ideology across the world, became a sort of folk tradition pertaining only to “Saudi” culture. In its defence of its subject-state, American liberalism dropped the existentialistotherwise instigating a renaissance of the alleged despotism inherent in Islamic culture, became the fuel for the war on terror.

The ideological windfall to capital as a result of Saudi obscurantism has been significant. Just as the socialist culture of the cold war created a cross country competition for the betterment of social conditions, the Saudi stance of “obligations before rights” drags down world culture into a race to the bottom. History commanded by anti-humanist ideologies is the quickest doorway to the commodification of human beings. It propels capital, the social relationship and its corresponding social class, into its element:fascism.

As of 2011 however, the picture somewhat changed. Critiquing the Saudis for their political practice or Islamic madrassa funding became a pastime for the mainstream media. Suddenly the right of


Saudi women to drive faced off against an American political correctness that intelligently masks over the unjust imprisonment of Leonard Peltier and the empire’s structural racism.[2] Then came the “Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act” (JASTA) with lawsuits threatening to swallow some of the oil revenues.[3] With the palace coup of the tender feet prince, Mohammad bin Salman (MBS), however, the old mainstream love of Saudi Arabia has to some extent been rekindled. An article in the NY Times of November 23, 2007, heaps kudos upon the reforms of the spiteful prince; the author exclaims that he thought he would not live to see reform and progress in Saudi Arabia. Amusingly, a Qatari-based academic tweets with 70 years of NY Times clippings describing Saudi royals in the language2017).[6] The Saudi kingdom had become increasingly dependent on oil for its day-to-day spending, as opposed to other sources of income. Addiction to oil exports unequivocally signals the failure of its diversification policies. Just as it borrowed to redress its deficit between 1980 and 2002 as oil prices plummeted, it has also resorted to short term borrowing at high interest rate to offset the current deficit (in 2014 prices fell to around 50 US$ per barrel). In addition to outstanding financing of many anti-Arabist and Islamist movements around the world, in 2011, it funded the mercenary-led aggression visited upon Syria and, later in 2015, it besieged Yemen and bombarded it – the war on Yemen is ongoing until the time of writing in December 2017. After Trump’s visit


in May 2017, it had also committed to purchasing 350 billion US$ worth of US weapons over the next 10 years, with about 110 billion US$ upfront.[7] Saudi Arabia may not yet be in a severe financial crisis, but with its high dependence on oil while oil prices remain low, the ongoing mild crisis may become one of state and economy together.

Just like rest of the world under neoliberalism (a stage beginning circa 1980), the kingdom gradually parted with its state sponsored policies of the 1970s. It handed over the reins of investment and other resources to the private sector. The princes and their friends who owned the private sector liquidated much of their wealth and sent it abroad. In its West Asia report, the United Nations (2007)the planet for emancipation.

Playing with oil supplies is synonymous with the politics of brinksmanship. Oil is a strategic commodity for many reasons, foremost because it provides much of the energy required for sustaining world population growth. The high energy content and versatility of the black liquid supported the expansion of humanity from a little over one billion at the beginning of the twentieth century to more than seven billion now. As oil and energy from oil to sustain or improve upon production levels fall below consumption for periods that exceed the drawing down of stocked reserves, the strategic impact of oil becomes all too clear for everyone to see.

It may be as well to recall that Saudi Arabia is peculiar in the world of oil production. It provides


mass of Western ideas and a logic whose money signification in the profit rates include war and forms of slavery as inputs.

Although China is not a market economy by any stretch of the evidence and may not even be described as capitalist, because it is state-owned and controlled with investment and production state-directed, with profit secondary to growth as the objective (Roberts, 2017), internationalist working-class organisations sharing the universal value of socialism are also not in the waiting. Organisationally and ideologically, socialism is in its worst crisis since the mid-19th century. It has contracted the virus of liberal democracy as opposed to proletarian democracy, while the platitude that socialism was tried and failed continues to grip the popular imagination. Without exception, the apparatuses of imperialism continuously revise historypresident playing the role of madman at the pinnacle of an empire that contemplates the use of nuclear weapons as a first strike option.

Still, Trump is no exception to the streak of past US presidents. In the early 1980s, Bush Senior comforted himself with the thought that more Russians would die than Americans in case the US nuked the Soviet Union first. The theory with which conventional wisdom explains such mad presidential behaviour is dis-ingeniously called the “madman theory.” Apart from having nothing to do with theory, this theory has little to do with the personality of the incumbent president. In the nuclear age, playing mad is practically part of the job description of all US presidents. What is connectedly disconcerting however, is that the madmen of America


but it also has a huge socialised sector that can backstop a crisis. Short of nuclear war, the Chinese system is rooted in the protectionism of the socialist era, which makes it somewhat undefeatable. For China, development and working-class security are key to national security. Its trebling of manufacturing workers’ wages in a little over a decade signifies the lingering centrality of labour in the state. Politically, the living socialism in the Chinese model can be discerned from the neoconservative critique levied at Xi Jinping. The latest of such critiques (November 2017) by the Brookings Institute regrets Xi Jinping consolidation of power and his lack of willingness to override entrenched interests resisting neoliberal reforms – especially financial openness and labour market rigidities.[24] While on the socialist side, thesignals China’s awareness of the seriousness of the mounting geopolitical contradictions.

MBS as the American war asset

For a considerable period after the end of the Cold War, no matter how foolish or miscalculating US empire appeared, right or wrong, the outcome of its actions favoured its status. The US could lose, but its very loss would be a win because there was no other power challenging its hegemony. For instance, in 2003 the United Nations did not authorise the invasion of Iraq, but the US invaded. While there was no power to challenge its decision, the nexus of war and financial expansion played in favour of its capital class. So long as the US was unchallenged, it had won whether it acted soberly or foolishly. History was American and


likely fail also because no one is convinced that it is an anti-corruption campaign. In fact, the present king was most opposed to corruption investigation in the past.[26]Although one may speak with confidence that the long-term prospects of Saudi Arabia under the current private resource allocation measures are grim, the early signs are that the Palace putsch is foolhardy.

However, MBS is no bull in a china-shop. He has been in command of the strongest units in the Saudi army aggressing Yemen. The supportive US is aware of his moves and has long had substantive military forces in Saudi Arabia. MBS is fighting the American/Israeli war in Yemen, leaving millions on the brink of starvation. This war is not about a sectarian Zaydi-Wahhabi war; it is about the controlIn real society, people are the starting point of value making and are value themselves. The consumption of living labour by living labour organised as classes with national structures, engaged in the permanently imposed wars of imperialism, is an act of commercial exploitation that limits the progress of the weakest states. In this unending, anachronistic and holistic war as production measure, the more powerful machines of the North and the higher prices of their associated commodities are determined by the historically accumulated power (real and ideological), cultural expropriation and the consumption of non-moneyed resources and human lives in the South.

Tautologically, the higher moneyed signification of the wealth amassed by imperialism circularly determines the higher prices and profits associated with Northern assets, including the wages of its working class.


to the definition of MBS as an incontrovertible war-asset to imperialism. The extolled NY Times reformer, is more than just a custodian of the oil spigots on behalf of empire. War and oil politics are complex and inseparable. MBS combines more of both than his predecessors.

History is against the US/Saudi alliance

There are other sociological reasons that might hasten the failure of the coup. The US held Saudi Arabia in a state of animated suspension to control/usurp its oil, it imposed upon that society an immutable state of consciousness re-enacted by a fabricated Islamic conservatism; such stasis, in which the European colonial settlement of Palestine remained unforgiven, would backfire if the gung-ho prince was to allegorically hoist the Zionist flag over Mecca. Saudi life before oil was of thecome to fruition. Although the short-term impact of oil shortages on China may be dire, the boomerang effect upon a US empire auto-eroding by the practice of racism inside and outside, and the instigation of war to promote its growth by waste industry, can also be dire. In the last instance, the coup will decidedly fail because China’s influence is on the march.

However, just as there are imperialistically imposed identity-politics traps mitigating popular anti-imperialist unity in the Arab region and elsewhere in the developing world, there are also similar hurdles of identity superseding class unity in the North. The weakness of organised socialist forces in the North and their ideological platitudes minimising the contribution of the global South to wealth-making and value are not haphazard, they are closely


social relations required to set the background for higher profits necessitate the destruction of the weakest human and environmental circles; ones like the ongoing Somali famine that killed one million children over the last two years, yet goes on almost unnoticed (Mountain 2017). To have voided the necessity for ironclad popular organisation as undemocratic and, to have swerved popular energy into futile academic tit-for-tats, hastens the real ricochet effect of imperialism: the rise of fascism in the North. The results remain to be seen.

Two critically ill newborns with aortico-left ventricular tunnel and severe heart failure were operated on at six and 14 hours after birth. The diagnosis was established clinically by the auscultatory finding of systolic and diastolic murmurs and by two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography. In the first newborn, the left aortic sinus was connected with the left ventricle below the aortic valve by an aneurysmatically dilated tunnel. In the second patient, the tunnel connected the right aortic sinus and the left ventricle. The repair was performed under deep hypothermia, total hemodilution, and cardiopulmonary bypass.

The second threaded member 68 extends between the second and third assembly stations, from a connection to another vertical side frame member 71 of the second assembly station 14 tfirough two spaced vertical side frame members 72 to die exterior of the third assembly station 16. Suitable fittings may be provided around the threaded members 66, 68 on the first and


third assembly stations 12, 16 so that as the first threaded member 66 is turned, the first assembly station moves closer to or further from the second assembly station to change the spacing between the stations and so that as the second threaded member 68 is turned, the third assembly station moves closer to or further from the second assembly station 14 to change the spacing between the second and third assembly stations. Each of the illustrated threaded members 66, 68 comprises a lead screw device, and commercially available lead screw devices may be used; for example, the types of lead screws typically used on lathes could be used.
The lead screws 66, 68 in me illustrated embodiment are each operated by a separate motor 74, 76. As shownindexes to pull the chain or partial assemblies from the second assembly station 14 to the third assembly station 16, after the second assembly station movable assembly mechanism 54 has operated on the chain workpieces, and after the third assembly station movable assembly mechanism 54 has operated on the chain workpiece, from the third assembly station 16 to a storage area.
Each locator unit 84 workpiece support 150 functions to provide a substantially continuous horizontal support for the workpieces between the ram 82 of each assembly station 12, 14, 16 and for the complete chain to the sprocket 180. As shown in FIGS. 7-9, in some assembly stations, the workpiece support 150 may also provide vertical supports or walls 181 to define an undercut channel 179 through which a

The supply line 154 at the second assembly station 14 may be filled with rollers 28, and the supply line 154 at the third assembly station 16 may be filled with a stack of roller link plates 20. The lateral feed mechanism 191 pushes the roller link plates 20 from the supply line 155 into the path of the ram, below the ram 82, and two bushings 24 are gravity fed into the path of the locator member 148. The motor 52, gear 50 and drive belt 48 cause me flywheel 46 to rotate, which causes one side of the clutch 44 to rotate, which in rum rotates the other side ofram hammer 92 to two or more of the workpieces to force them together, such as pressing the bushings into the holes in the roller link plates. As me main drive mechanism 40 continues to rotate, me cams 136, 168 and cam followers 134, 170 move the ram 82 and locator members 148 away from each other and the pushing apparatus 191 pushes another plate 20 into position, which pushes the assembly toward the next assembly station. As me assembly moves, it is supported by the workpiece support 150: from me first to the second assembly station 12, 14, me upright bushings 24 are between the vertical supports 181 and the roller link plate 20 is in the undercut, supported by the continuous horizontal support 183. The workpiece


station 16. At the third assembly station 16, another roller link plate 20 is gravity fed into the path of the locator member 148. As the main drive mechanism 40 rotates, turning the third assembly station drive shaft 58 and thereby rotating the barrel cam 168, the cam follower 170 moves toward the ram, moving the drive lug 174 and locator member 148 toward die ram, pushing the roller link plate onto the awaiting bushings 24 of the workpiece. The rotating third assembly station drive shaft 58 rotates the cam 136, and through the drive linkage, die third assembly station ram 82 pushes the roller link plate onto the bushings and press fits them together. The completed roller link is dien pushed further down the line for storage.
Fordescribed above, with the locator members 148 pushing pins at the first station, roller link assemblies at me second station 14, and top pin link plates at the third station. In this set up, the sprocket 180 would

operate to pull the partially completed chain from the second assembly station 14 and the completed chain from the third assembly station 16.

Among deceased raptors submitted to the Canadian Wildlife Health Cooperative over a 23-year period, a majority of the wild birds died of trauma and starvation, said pathobiology professor Nicole Nemeth.

"The most common cause of death was from trauma, which often included colliding with a vehicle or flying into stationary objects, such as buildings," said Nemeth. "The second most common cause was emaciation, which often occurs when the landscape changes in a way that hinders them from successfully hunting and finding shelter."

This was the first study to examine the most common causes of death in raptors in Ontario.

The province is home to 25 species of breeding raptors. Numerous

I MARRIED MY MOM: Misty Spann, 26, pleads guilty to incest

AN OKLAHOMA woman who tied the knot with her mum has pleaded guilty to committing incest.

Misty Spann, 26, will spend 10 years on probation for illegally marrying her mother, 44-year-old Patricia Spann, who is identified as Patricia Clayton on their marriage license


application, filed in March 2016, online records show.

The two were charged in September 2016 after a DHS child welfare worker learned of the relationship and reported it to Duncan police.

Two years of Misty's deferred sentence of 10 years must be under the supervision of the Oklahoma Department of Corrections, the outlet reports.

Patricia Ann lost custody of Misty as well as two sons when they were children, Fox News reported.

Previously, Patricia Spann had married her biological son in 2008, but never reported it.

Patricia has pleaded not guilty to incest, and will appear in court for trial at a later date.

She says she only consented to getting married after her mother convinced her it was legally OK, saying she consulted three attorneys.

This was not the first marriage for Patricia. Themarriage was later annulled in 2010 after the son opted out of the relation, terming it "incestuous".

"I think she's worthless she put my sister into this". Her probation is the type known as a deferred sentence.

Court records show the marriage was annulled last month at the request of Misty Spann on the grounds of fraud and illegality.

"We got told we actually had a real mom, so we wanted to know what she was about, the first thing she showed us she was about was trying to get in my brother's trousers", Cody added.

"For you to want to put your own daughter through this, what kind of person are you?" When she and Misty were reunited, Patricia allegedly said they "hit it off". The Spann children were raised by


Fiona Tan: Disorient

Tan’s two-screen video installation is an unsettling look at the legacy of colonialism and a stark reminder that the west’s sense of superiority still persists

Glasgow, like so many cities in the UK, was built on the foundations of colonialism and, in particular, the trade links with India and China through the East India Company in the 1800s. Glaswegian merchants travelled to Asia to do business, often exploitatively, and brought back popular imports: tobacco, cotton, tea and spices. The construction of ships to transport these imports was a major industry in itself, and reliant on the orientalist relationship between Glasgow (and the UK more widely) and cities in Asia.

While this formal type of colonialism hasscreening is certainly prescient.

The main gallery at Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA), aptly the former Royal Exchange Hall, is shrouded in darkness, with two large screens on either side of the room. On one side, there is footage of various places in Asia and the Middle East, collaged together with a voiceover that reads from The Travels of Marco Polo. The voice is low, however, and hard to hear alongside the background noise of the footage itself, so the soundtrack is almost subliminal and the focus is on the film’s visual content. This contains a lot of travelling – people driving or cycling along busy, polluted roads, or carrying heavy objects through streets.

LOS ANGELES — A Moraga, Calif., teen who was kicked out of the Boy Scouts and denied his Eagle award because he is gay, was awarded a $20,000 scholarship from the online photo album company Shutterfly during an appearance on the Ellen Degeneres show on Thursday.

Ryan Andresen, 18, a high school senior who has been in the Boy Scouts since he was 6, was told by his Scoutmaster that he could not reach Eagle’s highest rank because of his sexual orientation.

“I hope people understand that discrimination is not OK,” said Andresen, in his first in-depth media appearance

“The Boy Scouts is an organization that is very unique, it has a lot of opportunities that nothing else will ever grant you in your whole entire life. I am so blesseddisplayed him at his death as the mercy seat accessible through faith. This was to demonstrate his righteousness, because God in his forbearance had passed over the sins previously committed. 26 This was also to demonstrate his righteousness in the present time, so that he would be just and the justifier of the one who lives because of Jesus’ faithfulness (Romans 3:21-26).

It is not surprising, then, for the author of Hebrews to speak of the Old Testament revelation (the law) as bringing condemnation and the New Testament as bringing salvation. This is consistent with the teaching of the New Testament:

7 But if the ministry that produced death – carved in letters on stone tablets – came with glory, so that the Israelites could not keep their eyes fixed


holy servant Jesus.” 31 When they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God courageously. 32 The group of those who believed were of one heart and mind, and no one said that any of his possessions was his own, but everything was held in common. 33 With great power the apostles were giving testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on them all. 34 For there was no one needy among them, because those who were owners of land or houses were selling them and bringing the proceeds from the sales 35 and placing them at the apostles’ feet. The proceeds wereout to have been reasoned out of it by honest argument? Do not most people simply drift away?’” C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity (New York: Macmillan, 1976, p. 124), as cited by Hughes, p. 48.

A major furore occurred when England were awarded an extra run in the fourth ball of the last over of English innings. The Eoin Morgan-led side required nine runs off the last three balls when Ben Stokes hit one off Tren Boult towards mid-wicket. Martin Guptill stationed there threw the ball which hit the bat of BenStokes, who was trying to complete his second run, and deflected towards the boundary.

But, the replay showed that when Guptill threw the ball Stokes and Adil Rashid, the non-striker batsman, had not crossed each other thus they should have been awarded five and not six runs. The extra one run went on to decide the champions of the World Cup as the match ended in a tie, resulting in Super Over from where England won.
