Defendant testified at trial, and acknowledged that he had told Miller that she did not
need to cooperate with Jordan and that he had told Jordan to leave his property. He denied
resisting arrest, maintaining that Jordan had tackled him before he could comply with Jordan’s
directives. With regard to the knife that was found on his person, defendant explained that he
had been installing drywall at his home earlier in the day and that he had used the knife to cut
drywall tape. Defendant stated that he did not remember telling Miller to go into the house but
that it was “possible” that he had done so.

issue. Miller did not testify at trial.

The Banner Saga 2 will launch on Mac and Windows PC April 19, developer Stoic Studios confirmed. The sequel to its viking role-playing game is now up for pre-order on Steam, where players can purchase it for 10 percent off until its release date.

The first game in the planned trilogy arrived in January 2014, following the late 2013 release of The Banner Saga: Factions, a free-to-play multiplayer campaign. The project was funded through Kickstarter, where it raised over $750,000 from backers in 2012. The company later announced The Banner Saga 2 in December 2014 at The Game Awards.

In January, Stoic Studios ported the first Banner Saga game to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. A PlayStation Vita version remains in development.The power of the collective

So impressive is the teamwork behind Winfrey’s company Harpo Productions that it has become an MBA class case study at Harvard Business School (HBS).

Nancy F Koehn is the James E Robison Professor of Business Administration at HBS. In an HBS article on the development of the Harpo Productions case study Koehn said she and her team chose Oprah’s company because they were keen to explore what business leaders could learn from the talk-show Queen.

Koehn and her associates worked for three years to prepare their detailed case study which looked at all aspects of Oprah’s business – her phenomenally successful daytime TV show, the O magazine, the book club – to “understand her company's revenues, costs, and competitive advantage in (this) crowded, rivalrous market.” What they learnedDilly Duka will try to restart his career in the NPSL.

Dilly Duka, who has spent the past eight seasons playing for several MLS teams, is set to join New Jersey's FC Motown of the fourth-tier National Premier Soccer League, sources have told ESPN FC.

Duka, 28, is in the process of coming back from offseason ankle surgery, and in a bid to get back to full fitness is joining the Morristown-based team, which is managed by former New York Red Bulls midfielder Sacir Hot.

Sources said the intention is that Duka will be added as an amateur player to the roster of Motown, which plays at Drew University and was previously known as the Clarkstown Eagles.

Duka has spent time on the books of the Columbus Crew (twice), the


Chicago Fire, the Montreal Impact, as well as the New York Red Bulls. Duka was waived by Columbus midway through the 2017 campaign and was claimed by the Red Bulls, for whom he appeared in three league games in 2017.

His contract wasn't picked up by New York after the season.

The Montville, New Jersey, native has appeared in 145 league and playoff appearances during his MLS career, scoring 13 goals and recording 14 assists. He has also appeared for the U.S. under-20 and under-23 national teams.Beautiful Things Old And New

The anime, based on Kenichi Sonoda's manga of the same name, centers on marksman and gunsmith Rally Vincent, and explosives expert Minnie May Hopkins, two bounty hunters who chase criminals and other bounties in Chicago, often running afoul of gangs, police, and other bounty hunters along the way.

The three-episode OVA originally shipped in Japan from 1995 to 1996. ADV released the anime on VHS in 1996, and on DVD in 2001. Dark Horse Comics released the manga from 1996 to 2002, and also released the Gunsmith CatsBurst sequel from 2007 to 2010. Dark Horse offered a revised omnibus re-release of the original manga in 2007.

A new Gunsmith Cats reboot anime will debut at this year's Anime Central convention in Illinois. The convention will be held from May 18-20.

Far-right French politician Marion Marechal-Le Pen railed against Muslim immigration during a speech Thursday at a major gathering of conservatives near Washington, D.C.

The 28-year-old niece of National Front leader Marine Le Pen spoke at the CPAC event in National Harbor, Maryland, after Vice President Mike Pence. President Donald Trump's former strategist Steve Bannon once praised her as a "rising star" and she is considered to be more hardline than her aunt on immigration and Islam.

In her remarks Thursday, Marechal-Le Pen said she is not offended by President Donald Trump's "America First" agenda and she railed against Muslim immigration and "the development of an Islamic counter-society in France."

"After 40 years of massive immigration, Islamic lobbies and political correctness, France is in the process of passing from the eldest daughter of the Catholic Church to the little niece of Islam, and the terrorism is only the tip of the iceberg," Marechal-Le Pen said.

She also decried some modern family structures.

"We have the right to order a child (from) a catalog, we have the right to rent a woman's womb," Marechal Le-Pen said. "We have the right to deprive a child of a

Her remarks were met with cheers from the CPAC audience.

Marechal-Le Pen’s grandfather, Jean-Marie Le Pen, founded the far-right National Front party in 1972. In 2015, he was expelled from the party for saying the Holocaust was a "detail of history."

His daughter, Marine Le Pen, took the reins of Front National in 2011 and tried to steer the party away from its anti-Semitic past. She lost last year's presidential election to the center-right Emmanuel Macron.

End of an Era in New York?

1995 marked the beginning of an era defined by championships and accolades in New York.

2013 could be the end of the era.

With a tweak of his surgically repaired ankle sidelining him for the rest of the season, the injury may mark the end of the road for Yankee shortstop and team captain Derek Jeter.

Photo from: yahoo.com

If this does spell the end, Jeter will hands down walk away as one of the best shortstops to ever play the game. In his 18 years in pinstripes, Jeter has accomplished just about everything a big leaguer can, including Rookie of the Year, thirteen All-Star appearances, five Gold Gloves, five Silver Sluggers and a World Series MVP.

However, what defines Jeter as a player


the most is his ability to show up in October. On a team where success is based solely on playoff appearances and championships, 'The Captain' has compiled a .308 batting average in the postseason and hit .321 in 38 World Series games.

Another thing that stands out about Jeter's career is his sparkling reputation. Ever since his big league debut, he has been the true definition of a professional. As captain of the most known franchise in all of sports, Jeter has been under the microscope for well over a decade now. Remarkably, he has never been caught up in any real negative publicity. He has managed to make it through one of the darkest times in Major League Baseball history (the steroid era), and a common trap for120-130 games at the position and provide veteran leadership both on and off the field.

With a full offseason to rest and rehab, partnered with the opportunity to ease himself back into the grind of a season through a traditional spring training with the rest of the club, there's no reason to think Jeter can't play one more year.

The Captain has done a great job throughout his career keeping his body in shape, and this is where it can pay a hefty reward for him. With minimal injuries prior to this ankle setback, it is not like Jeter has other nagging impairments hampering his ability to perform.

Posting the second-highest hit total of his career in 2012 at the age of 38, it goes without saying that Jeter can still


hit well. In that same season, his WAR was 4.2 games, so clearly the Bronx Bombers would have benefited substantially had Jeter's bat been in the lineup this year.

Chances are, they would benefit just as much next season.

At the very least, if Jeter can play 120-plus games at short, his leadership along with the intangibles that come with having him in the clubhouse for an entire season would be immeasurable. Every locker room would love to have a leader like Jeter, a guy who can do everything from mentoring young players on the roster to taking media attention away from problems on the team.

Players like that come few and far between.

Although Jeter may not necessarily be the type to want the attention of a "farewell tour" similar toAdoption Options

Colorado Collaborative for Families through Diversity and Inclusiveness

Adoption Options is part of a collaborative effort involving Colorado Department of Human Services and Denver Department of Human Services to provide education, training and support to families through diversity and inclusiveness.

Denver, CO, March 15, 2014 --(PR.com)-- The Colorado Department of Human Services, Denver Department of Human Services and Adoption Options have collaborated on behalf of families through diversity and inclusiveness. The partnership began in 2013 at a Human Rights event for families in the LGBT community. Together, the organizations pooled resources and talents to organize an adoptive family forum of successful adoptions in the LGBT community. The event brought together past, present and potential adoptive families and adoption professionals and created an environment where they were able to


to just go on with their day-to-day behaviour, keeping grief hidden and private.

Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s book On Death and Dying had been published a decade earlier. She was one of the first to discuss the five stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. The focus on steps of grief made it seem like grief was a linear process through which people passed, moving from one step to the next. It was possible to slide back into a previous stage, but this was seen as pathological. Someone who didn’t just keep on moving forward was sick.

In my years of ministry, and by observing friends and family, people do sometimes get stuck in grief. Counselling from professional caregivers, as well as patience and much love from both professional andtaught me a lot about grief in his last years. Mom died in 2008, at age 73, after spending seven years in a nursing home with a degenerative neurological condition. Dad grieved intensely after she died; for years, he often went to her graveside just to weep. As he grew nearer his own death from stage-four prostate cancer, he again began to talk about her and his grief at her loss.

By this time I had come to the conclusion that I neither needed, nor had the ability, to help him move on. It was better that I let him know that I heard him and was with him in his grief. I did notice, though, that when he got bad news about his condition, or the pain level


was on the rise, he grieved more. All his losses and distresses became mixed together.

The components of grief

Rather than stages, I prefer to think about grief as components that can follow a progression or move around chaotically:

• Denial is often the first part of grief. When I drive home from a death bed as a pastor, or from planning the funeral with the family, I often feel a disconnect between the reality of the death and the ongoing world around me. My “I should ask Dad” refrain was a minor form of denial as my subconscious was not connecting with the fact that Dad was gone to where I could no longer ask him anything and expect an answer. In severe cases, denial can become psychotic, with aNo Obstacle

Tasmania is a wonderful place for landscape photography and like Iceland, there is such diversity within the island that you won't have to travel too far to shoot lush temperate rainforests, to windswept dunes, the craggy coast lines. This waterfall is located in the North East of Tasmania in the Blue Tier region. A relatively isolated location with a short dirt road drive off the main highway and a 1km walk to the base of the falls.

announcing an antibiotic-free standard for companies to follow when supplying chicken products to its schools. The Alliance said it was taking the action to protect the future of students.

The Alliance said its landmark action focuses on chicken because it is one of the most popular items served at cafeterias across the country.

Urban School Food Alliance Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of School Support Services for the New York City Department of Education, Eric Goldstein said: "The standards we're asking from the manufacturers go above and beyond the quality of the chicken we normally purchase at local supermarkets. This move by the Alliance shows that school food directors across the country truly care about the health and wellness of students."

Working with suppliers, non-profit partners and government agencies, the Alliancehas committed to requiring all chicken products to be produced under a USDA Process Verified Program that includes compliance with the following:

no animal by-products in the feed

raised on an all-vegetarian diet

humanely raised as outlined in the National Chicken Council Animal Welfare Guidelines, and

no antibiotics ever.

Urban School Food Alliance is a coalition of the largest school districts in the United States that includes New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami-Dade, Dallas and Orlando. Serving nearly 2.9 million students daily, Alliance members procure more than $550 million in food and supplies annually. The coalition aims to use its joint purchasing power and influence to help drive down nationwide costs, while setting higher standards for the quality of food served in its schools.

of the special effects are a bit unconvincing, but that only adds to the movie's overall humorous quality.

But it's all part of the fun, and none of this is meant to be taken seriously. Even the violence and gore are played for laughs rather than shock. However, the film does boast a few genuinely creepy moments. As the film progresses, the family members are each done in in grisly fashion and resurrected as equally dimwitted zombies.

The end of the line appears near for BART’s never-enforced seat-hog ordinance. BART directors on Thursday will consider rescinding the law, which would have subjected people to fines for occupying more than a single seat during commute hours.

BART directors passed the ordinance on a 5-4 vote in April 2016 after debating whether the effort to free up scarce seats on crowded trains was also an attack on homeless people, who often spread out to get some sleep.

The law took effect Oct. 10 but has never been enforced because directors and BART police never agreed on an enforcement strategy.

Nairobi, Kenya - Kenyans are casting their votes to elect a president and a new parliament following weeks of campaigning and claims of a plot to rig the results.

Polling began at 6am (3:00 GMT) and is expected to end at 5pm (14:00 GMT) with results to be announced within seven days.

More than 19 million voters have registered to cast their vote in Tuesday's election in 40,883 polling stations across the country.

Polling stations were crowded from the early hours of the day, with some voters queuing from 1am despite chilly weather of 15 degrees Celcius.

President Uhuru Kenyatta, 55, is seeking a second and final five-year term in office and faces stiff competition from an opposition coalition led by veteran politician Raila Odinga.

Odinga, 72, is running for the presidency ofKenya for the fourth time.

Aggrey Mwelesa, a 43-year-old father of four who works as a security guard, told Al Jazeera that he was happy to exercise his democratic right.

"The exercise was smooth. Very calm. I came to the polling station at 2am. I pray for the best man for our country to win," he said.

Alice Waithaka, a 35-year-old mother of two, said she had been queuing since 4am and did not experience any problems while voting.

Tight race expected

Polls have shown the two candidates enjoy similar levels of popularity.

Kenyatta is the son of the country's founding father.

Odinga is a former prime minister whose father was vice president.

No sitting president has ever lost an election in the East African country of 48 million people.

Five years ago, Kenyatta defeated Odinga, who


disputed the results before they were confirmed by the country's supreme court.

To win the election outright, either presidential candidate must garner at least 50 percent of the votes, plus one.

The winning candidate must also receive at least 25 percent of the votes in half of Kenya's 47 counties to prevent a second round of voting.

If no candidate receives that, the election will go to a runoff, which would be a first in Kenya's history.

The election is largely being fought over the economy and the courting of the youth vote. More than half of the registered voters are under the age of 35.

Kenyatta is promising to create more than one million new jobs in the country, which has the second biggest economy in the region.

He also said he wouldreduce the cost of living in a country where 47 percent of the population lives below the poverty line.

Odinga, on the other hand, is promising to fight corruption. Transparency International, the global anti-corruption group, ranks Kenya 145 out of 176 in its 2016 corruption index.

Odinga has also said he will create jobs for young people and make the country - which in recent years has experienced droughts - food secure.

OPINION: The murder that shook the Kenyan elections

In an interview with Al Jazeera earlier this week, Odinga said his party has put in place efforts to stop an alleged plot to tamper with results.

"There are attempts to manipulate the results," Odinga said. "The only way [Kenyatta's party] can win this election is by rigging."

The country descended into violence in


2007 after the opposition, led by Odinga, claimed the election results were rigged in favour of the then incumbent Mwai Kibaki.

More than 1,000 people were killed in post-election violence, and some 600,000 were displaced.

Kenyatta, while addressing a campaign rally last week, denied attempts to rig the elections and said the allegations by opposition leaders were a ploy to form a coalition government.album opted to articulate this complex role).

The vehicle spun out, crossed both northbound lanes before going off the right side of the road, overturned and came to rest in an upright position.

Steady was wearing his seatbelt and was not injured.

Police issued Steady a ticket for failing to maintain safe and proper control of his vehicle within the marked travel lane. Trooper Tim Gould said it appears that


the crash was caused by driver fatigue.

As some of the subtleties of the new era of biological testing become appreciated, a few of the more recently introduced tests are starting to cause concern. The evaluation of the ability of a material to activate complement comes into this category. This article explains complement and its activation and attempts to rationalize the need for testing in this complex area.Your boss will definitely notice if you volunteer first for any project assignment.

interlocking schedule for this season, with the Tigers struggling against their pacific coast opposition, winning just two of six games. Calgary finished third in the standings, behind Edmonton and Regina, as former Tiger Barney Stanley scored the winning goal against Calgary in a 2–1 victory by the Regina Capitals that eliminated Calgary from playoff contention. They ended the season with a 4–0 exhibition victory over the NHL's Ottawa Senators in a game described as one of the "most sensational" games ever held in Calgary.

The 1923–24 season began with tragedy, as Tigers' forward Foley Martin died of blood poisoning during the team's season opening road trip to the pacific coast.  The Tigers played on despite Martin's death, winning two of three games against their PCHA rivals.  Thefamily. The log house features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms inside, which means that a family with two children could live comfortably in it and each child could have their own room. The master bedroom is on the main floor, and comes complete with an ensuite bathroom with both a shower and a bathtub. This would be the perfect Oasis for mom and dad to enjoy. The other two bedrooms which are located on the upper level of the log house, also come with their own full bathroom so that each member of the family would have their own private space to enjoy. At 2204 square feet, this home has so much space to offer besides the large bedrooms. The Great Room is a large and spacious area


that is open to the dining room and the kitchen area, which creates a lovely flow to the house. There is even a den on the main floor which could serve as a home office area. The log home building kit comes with an attached garage as well, which is a must for many families. The incredible, large wrap around deck is also a wonderful feature of the log home that would be an asset in the summer months to enjoy as much outdoor time as possible. Overall, this log house design is spectacular and definitely a must see.

Natural Log Cabins built The Keplar Home in 2006 for the Keplar family close to Fort Wayne, Indiana. They now offer the log house model package through their website sinceThis past weekend Tim Horton's Field officially hosted its first ever soccer event. While the kickoff for League 1 Ontario's women's division did not draw a large number of fans it did provide a glimpse of what the stadium has to offer soccer fans in the area.

While the L1O games on Saturday were a test run for the venue the real debut will come this weekend when it plays host to the Canadian Women's National team as they take on England in their final tuneup for the Women's World Cup which is just around the corner now.

That friendly is very close to being sold out with only a few dozen tickets remaining to be sold as of Tuesday afternoon. It will show fans just what Tim Horton's Field


can do as a host venue for soccer with 24,000 fans in attendance.

The Ticats ownership group is hopeful that this game will result in an increase in excitement for soccer in the city of Hamilton. That increased excitement will hopefully carry over to the Pan Am games in July which are selling well but not trending towards a complete sellout.

According to a report in the Toronto Star the organizers expect the knockout round matches to be sellouts but not all of the group stage games. That is not surprising considering the size of the venue and the number of games that it will host in a short period of time.

Getting soccer in the forefront of Hamiltonians minds is great news for the Ticats group as they work tosecure a professional team for the city. It seems to be something that they are set to capitalize on as Waking the Red has learned that the ideal time for an expansion announcement in Hamilton would be at some point in the next month.

Timing it between the CanWNT friendly and the Pan Am games would allow the ownership group to use both events to create buzz about the new professional team and take advantage of soccer coverage in the city being at what will likely be an all-time high. Add in Canada hosting the Women's World Cup and the Ticats are just hoping to make the most of soccer being on Canadians mind this summer.

The expansion plans for Hamilton do not seem to be completed yet as they


are still in talks with NASL but the two sides appear to be making progress with sources close to the league indicating that getting things done in Hamilton is a top priority for the league.

Hamilton should be next in line for NASL expansion with the league having announced Miami FC as their 12 team for 2016. The announcement that NASL would potentially be going toe-to-toe with MLS in the city of Miami was greeted with some mixed reactions by observers of the league who questioned the viability of that market and the need for further expansion in the state of Florida.

Miami would be the 12th team in the league with Virginia and Oklahoma City both unlikely to ever actually take to the field after being announced as expansionteams. With 12 teams in the league NASL is now able to add another expansion team in Canada while still abiding by the rules set forth by USSF for their division 2 sanctioning. Only 25% of teams in the league can be based outside of the United States which means that the league now has enough American teams in place to allow for them to add a third Canadian club.

To be fair, NASL could have made Hamilton their 12th franchise without breaking that 25% rule but the option to expand in Miami came out of nowhere and it seems like it was too good for the league to turn down. In fact, some close to the situation have said that there was only a period of 3 months


a very important summer. Hosting the Women's World Cup and the Pan Am games is just two parts of what will be a very big summer for the CSA and its teams.

With the looming deadline for World Cup bids for 2026 having another professional team already in the mix should only help to strengthen the CSA's bid. It could also help to further the goal of launching a domestic league which the group in Hamilton is very interested in one day being part of.for South Korea

The aircraft was damaged extensively, especially its "wings, engine and propeller".

A trainer aircraft crashed at a flying academy in Maharashtra's Shirpur on Friday following which aviation regulator DGCA is probing the incident, a senior official said.

While the student pilot is safe, the Cessna 172R was extensively damaged in the crash, the official said.

The incident happened at NMIMS Academy of Aviation at Shirpur in Dhule district.

"The plane took off at 11.05 am on Friday. When it was attempting to land after 56 minutes of flying, it crashed on the fencing on the left side. We will be probing the incident," said the official of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).

"The student pilot - who was flying the plane - is safe. He was shifted to Dhule district afterreceiving initial treatment at Shirpur," he said.

The official added the aircraft was damaged extensively, especially its "wings, engine and propeller".

The student is safe and is currently out of danger, the official said.

The DGCA is going to investigate the crash at the flying academy. The academy has three Cessna 172R aircraft in its fleet.

An optimistic Mark Kozelek could be a good comparison for the main voice of the first act Slow, and the carefully measured music that glinted behind them had a sure softness of touch that bordered oncrammed on stage in a circle, tipping things down the stairs - seeing where they ended up. Two guitars, bass, two drummers, violin and part time sax and clarinet allowed them to brew up a lush sound which veered anywhere between epic instrumental rock and prog-jazz. They only managed to squeeze four tracks in, mainly improv, but always based around a lovely groove set up by the bassist and two drummers, one sticking to the rhythm, the other throwing some wild shapes at the audience. Over it all a hidden vocalist laid angelic mantra-like lines which weaved in and out of the mix like smoke. They hadn’t played together for months, but it sounded warm and natural, well worth checking out.

Image caption The scientists used a hi-tech submersible to study the trench

The climate secrets of the deepest part of the ocean, the Marianas Trench in the western Pacific Ocean, have been probed by scientists.

The international team used a submersible, designed to withstand immense pressures, to study the bottom of the 10.9km-deep underwater canyon.

Their early results reveal that ocean trenches are acting as carbon sinks.

This suggests that they play a larger role in regulating the Earth's chemistry and climate than was thought.

Although two explorers, Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh, reached the deepest part of the Marianas Trench - a point called the Challenger Deep - in 1960, no humans have been back since.

And the handful of scientific missions, including this recent visit to this deepest spot, have been carriedout using unmanned underwater vehicles.

Lead researcher Professor Ronnie Glud, from the University of Southern Denmark and the Scottish Association for Marine Science (Sams), said that working at more than 1,000 atmospheres of pressure was challenging, but advances in technology had made it possible.

He told BBC News: "This is the first time we have been able to set down sophisticated instruments at these depths to measure how much carbon is buried there."

Under pressure

Professor Glud, working with scientists from the Japan Agency for Marine Earth Science and Technology (Jamstec) and from the UK and Germany, used a lander equipped with special sensors packed in a titanium cylinder that was able to resist the remarkable pressures.

The lander was launched


the sea, and how much carbon turnover by bacteria is being carried out.

This, the researchers said, should help them to better establish the role of the ocean trenches in regulating climate.

Surprising finds

This is not the first time deep sea trenches have surprised scientists.

Recent studies by University of Aberdeen's Oceanlab team have revealed that marine life is much more abundant in this hostile habitat than was previously thought.

In 2008, they filmed the deepest living fish ever to be caught on camera - a 17-strong shoal found at depths of 7.7km in the Japan Trench, and the revealed other animals such as amphipods were present in large numbers even deeper.

Image caption These fish were photographed at a depth of 7,560m These fish were filmed at a depth of 7.7km Beyondthe abyss

Dr Alan Jamieson, from Oceanlab, said the new study was helping researchers to build up a better idea of what happens in the deepest of the deep.

He said: "The trenches continue to amaze us.

"And to see an experiment such as this carried out at these extreme depths is a great leap forward in deep-sea science.

"These studies will greatly enhance our understanding of how the deep trenches contribute to carbon cycling in the world's oceans."


arisen while the case is in trial. Approximately 55 days into trial, the government provided defense counsel with 302s for Ryan Quade Emerson, a person listed as a witness on the government's trial list at that time. Defendants maintain that the government was obligated, under at least one of the theories described above, to turn over the 302s before trial. In addition, defendants argue that a hearing is necessary to ascertain the exact nature of Emerson's relationship with the FBI, given (1) the government's admission that Emerson had been asked by the FBI (on at least one occasion) to provide information on the NCLC, and (2) the government's reliance on a notebook entry attributed to Emerson in the government's opening statement.

FEARING DEATH, BERNHARDT WRITES TO HER BELOVED SON.

Maurice Bernhardt (1864-1928), a playwright, gambler and fencer, Sarah Bernhardt's only child, was possibly fathered by Charles-Joseph Eugene Henri, Prince de Ligne. Sarah absolutely adored, pampered and spoiled him. She died in his arms on 23 March 1923. He was really her raison d'etre, saving her from an early death similar to that of her sister Régine, a prostitute, at only nineteen years of age.

Bernhardt had been dogged with ill-health from the time that she injured her knee in 1886. By 1910 it was causing her untold anguish all down her leg and in 1914 her doctors resorted to immobilising her whole limb in a plaster cast. When Dr Pozzi removed the cast he found that gangrene had developed and shehad to have her leg amputated. On her last tour in America she suffered intermittent attacks of uraemia which resulted in the emergency kidney operation described in the present letter. 'They can cut out everything', she said, 'as long as they leave me my head.' When she was offered thousands of dollars for the amputated limb, she replied: 'If it's my right leg you want, see the doctors; if it's the left leg, see my manager in New York.' (Robert Gottlieb, Sarah: The Life of Sarah Bernhardt, 2010).

'...Doctor Lepmann...declared that my lungs were of extraordinary quality, that my heart was aged twenty and of astounding vitality, then without saying more he took hold of the telephone, "Hello? Hello? Have Doctor Buerger come immediately! He's operating at the moment?


All right, as soon as the operation is finished, have him jump into a car and come here to the Savoy Hotel; an urgent grave case; a world-famous, interesting personality"; then he hung up and said nothing more; his face of a disquieting pallor...his prematurely white hair seemed like damp marble illuminated by the moon; he didn't say a word in French. Finally Doctor Buerger was announced, and I saw a very young man enter...He is American, speaks French admirably, married to a French wife, charming, very great pianist. They chatted together with the other doctors; then the young man, who seemed to be 29 years old, but was 37, examined me for five minutes and declared that he was faced with a mysterious, but very grave casewhose enigma he was going to untangle the next morning at nine o'clock with a nurse's aid. The next day at 9 o'clock he came again, actually with two nurses, and with the aid of one he did an examination of my poor kidneys; he declared immediately that the right kidney was in a perfect state, but it wasn't functioning anymore, as it was poisoned by the left kidney and that we were going to know why. He gave me cocaine to prevent pain during the examination, then he pressed firmly, called Marot and after a "Look, look this hardened blood clot is blocking the left urethra". With tweezers he drew out the blood clot, and a flood of pus filled three, four tubes. I was exhausted from

FLINT, MI -- The pastor of a Flint church says State Farm
has acted like anything but a good neighbor when the insurance giant refused to
cover damage the church's sanctuary sustained when portions of its ceiling came
crashing to the ground late last year.

Now, the Rev. R. Sherman McCathern, pastor of Joy
Tabernacle church on Dayton Street and Chevrolet Avenue in the city's
Civic Park community, is hoping a federal judge will step in to make State Farm
foot the bill for the damages.

Joy Tabernacle filed a lawsuit against the insurance
company April 12 in Flint U.S. District Court claiming that the insurance
company is refusing to cover damages from the Dec. 15, 2012, collapse.

State Farm officials declined to comment on the
allegations, citing


the pending lawsuit. However, attorneys for the insurance company
claim the damage isn't covered by the church's insurance policy, according to
court documents.

A large hole still remains in the plaster ceiling of the
sanctuary of the nearly 90-year-old church, exposing damaged rafters. Dust and
debris still cover many of the pews more than four months after the initial
collapse.

"We're like David and they're like Goliath," said
McCathern. "They're just taunting us."

McCathern said a State Farm agent initially told him that
the church was covered for the damage and funds were released to help the
church pay for clean-up and purchase a new public address system to replace the
one damaged by the collapse.

The church was told to obtain cost estimates to repair
the ceiling, McCathern said. He added new carpet, refurbished pews and a
replacement organ were all promisedto the church to make up for those that
were damaged.

But McCathern said State Farm backtracked on their
promise after an engineer was sent out to inspect the church more than a month
after the collapse. McCathern alleges that the engineer told him the roof was
built incorrectly when the church was built nearly 90-years ago and that is
what led to the collapse. He claims State Farm used that information to deny
the coverage despite the church paying thousands of dollars in insurance
premiums.

State Farm attorneys argue in court documents that the
collapse isn't covered by the church's policy, for reasons including faulty
workmanship.

Flint Township public adjuster Gary Lappin, who
represents the church in dealing with the insurance company, said the church
has suffered a "significant loss" and that correcting the problem would be very
expensive for State Farm.

Court


documents filed by State Farm show that the church is
seeking "damages that are in excess of the actual cash value of the property"
at the time of the collapse.

McCathern said he tried to do everything he could rectify
the situation with State Farm but soon realized that he would be forced to file
the lawsuit.

But the pastor said the adversity has not stopped his
congregation from celebrating.

Services were moved to the church's basement. A large, beautiful
sanctuary with wooden pews, stained glass windows and a pipe organ were traded
in for low ceilings, folding chairs and keyboard.

McCathern said that the church has baptized new members
since moving into the basement but surrendered that some of the church's older parishioners
have stopped attending services because getting down the stairs and sitting in
folding chairs is too difficult.

An outbreak of human trypanosomiasis due to Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense has been affecting the Busoga district of Uganda since 1976. More than 40,000 cases have been recorded up to 1990. Since two years the epidemic area has been extending to the Tororo district. The vector is Glossina fuscipes. In order to stop the disease transmission a vector control project was launched in 1988 in Busoga area. It is based on tsetse fly trapping, using pyramidal optic traps impregnated with deltamethrin (10 traps per square kilometer). The results were excellent. Everywhere fly populations were reduced by more than 95%. In some parishes flies elimination was achieved. The number of new human cases of trypanosomiasis has been reduced in the

JUI-F chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman doesn’t want madrassas to be registered with the National Counter-Terrorism Authority.

Rehman said the new government had shaken the trust the country has with China. The economy’s backbone, CPEC, is in trouble.

He said Pakistan is once again being brought into the war between the East and the West.It's been a tad over two years since the inauguration of President Donald Trump. The day after, he and his administration openly lied about the crowd size at the inaugural ceremony.

Since then, Trump's administration has reached an unprecedented turnover rate, at least two acts of adultery and subsequent payments to cover the affairs up have surfaced, an anonymous higher-up of the administration detailed the steps officials were taking to curtail Trump's worst inclinations, and there's the Russia investigation and the 34+ indictments and convictions it's yielded.

Sadly, these are only highlights of the highlights.

When nurses once placed the cat on the bed of a patient they thought close to death, Oscar “charged out” and went to sit beside someone in another room. The cat’s judgement was better than that of the nurses: the second patient died that evening, while the first lived for two more days. [Daily Telegraph]

Liu Xingchen, the 56-year-old assistant to the head of Kailu County, a farming region in Inner Mongolia, said his vast network of informants meant he could be “very sensitive” to any signs of dissent and protest.

Sleeping Beauty condition means teenager sleeps for two weeks –
Louisa Ball, 15, has earned the nickname ‘Sleeping Beauty’ thanks to a rare condition that causes her to sleep for up to two weeks at a time. Miss Ball, from Worthing, has slept through school exams, dance competitions and entire family holidays thanks to her unusual condition. Her prolonged sleeps, which began in 2008 as she recovered from flu, were initially thought to be hormonal until she was diagnosed with Kleine-Levin Syndrome last year. People who develop the condition, also known as Sleeping Beauty Disease, are prone to falling into extended periods of deep sleep that can stretch to weeks. [Daily Telegraph]

A woman is to be reunited with a camera her husband dropped off the edge of the QM2 cruise ship after a fisherman caught it in his net and put the photographs online. Barbara and Dennis Gregory, 65, from Johannesburg, South Africa, thought they would never see the Nikon P90 again after it fell into the ocean en-route from New York to Southampton in 2008. But 16 months later Benito Estevez, a fisherman from Spain, found the camera in his nets with the photos still intact on the memory card. He decided to trace the owners and posted five pictures online which showed Mrs Gregory posing on the deck of the ship and her husband wearing a woolly tourist hat from Oxford.

As a result a Genoa judge has issued a new arrest warrant for 29-year-old Nabil Benhamir, who has been in prison for months in relation to allegations of violence against his former partner. Benhamir is suspected of being a "major figure" in ISIS who returned to Europe "with the aim of training other members of the Islamic State to produce and use explosives", according to prosecutors.

Earlier this week, China launched the first of several ships being designed for Malaysia following the conclusion of a defense deal between the two sides. The development highlighted some of the ongoing activity in the bilateral defense relationship following the entry of a new Malaysian government in the country last May.

As I have noted before in these pages, while China and Malaysia have been making gradual inroads in their defense ties as part of their wider relationship over the years – including through the establishment of new consultative mechanisms and exercises – one of the notable developments for this aspect of ties came in 2016, when, under the previous government of Prime Minister Najib Razak, Malaysia agreed to buy four littoral mission ships (LMS) from China. The event


was a landmark development for defense ties as it constituted the first naval purchase deal of its kind between the two countries.

Despite some initial questions raised about the nature of China-Malaysia relations under the new Malaysian government following the shock election victory by the country’s opposition last May and the return of the country’s longest-serving prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, the deal has been proceeding thus far amid some changes. As of now, the contract amount has been reduced downwards to about 1.05 billion ringgit, with all four ships to be built in China, as opposed to an earlier arrangement where two would be built in China and two in Malaysia.

This week, the deal was in the headlines again with the official launch and naming of the first ofthe LMS vessels. The vessel, named Keris, was launched and named by the wife of Malaysian Defense Minister Mohamad Sabu acting as a “Lady Sponsor” in a ceremony on the morning of April 15 at the Shuangliu Manufacturer Base of Wuchang Shipbuilding Industrial Group in Wuhan, China.

Per the official account provided by the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN), the Keris, which was given the pennant number 111, was launched in the presence of various Malaysian and Chinese officials as well as personnel, including those from the RMN, the Boustead Heavy Industry Corporation (BHIC), China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC), and the China Shipbuilding and Offshore International Co Ltd (CSOC). As of now, is expected to be delivered to Malaysia around December 2019.

own and operate a medical office building. Drs. Martin Kaplan and Robert Fink (claimants) are EEC partners. The remaining four EEC partners (majority) have a separate corporation, Eye Physicians and Surgeons.
EEC leased office space to Kaplan and Fink and to Eye Physicians and Surgeons under separate ten-year leases that expired on December 31, 1994. When the claimants moved out of the building at the end of 1994, the majority executed a new lease to their corporation at $10 per square foot less than the claimants and the majority had paid under the preexisting lease. The claimants objected that the rate was far below market value and that the majority was making no serious effort to lease the remaining vacant space. Fifteen months later, they initiated arbitration on claimspercent supported building a wall along the entire border with Mexico. But among Trump supporters, three-quarters backed the proposal.

And there is plenty of skepticism that Trump will ultimately follow through: A CNN/ORC poll taken after the election found just under half of all Americans thought it was at least somewhat likely that Trump would build a wall along the southern border, while a November Quinnipiac poll found just 19 percent of registered voters thought Trump would get Mexico to pay for such a wall.

Trump's strategy is being driven by several advisers, in particular those with political links to Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., Trump's nominee to be attorney general. They include speechwriter and policy aide Stephen Miller, incoming deputy White House chief of staff Rick Dearborn and incoming White


House chief strategist Stephen Bannon.

Sessions himself, who has focused on border security for decades, also is intimately involved in the discussions. Miller is already drafting executive actions related to border and immigration policy, and Dearborn is working with Republican leaders to coordinate legislation.

Bannon, the people close to Trump added, is paying close attention to officials he may be able to work with inside the Mexican government on the border and other issues, with new Mexican Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray familiar to him and other Trump aides. Videgaray was involved in Trump's trip to meet Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, which sparked controversy during the campaign.

Vice President-elect Mike Pence, who once served in the House and is friendly with many Republicans still skittish about Trump, is considered key tosmoothing any tensions as the push to build the wall gets underway.

During the campaign, the wall was Trump's signature promise and a raucous rallying cry among his supporters at his large rallies. Trump repeatedly said that Mexico would have to pay for the giant structure, but he also signaled that U.S. taxpayers would be reimbursed for it after its construction.

In a Friday-morning tweet, Trump said: "The dishonest media does not report that any money spent on building the Great Wall (for sake of speed), will be paid back by Mexico later!"

Republicans are discussing reviving a 2006 law – supported by the GOP and Democrats alike – that gave them authority to construct partial fencing along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexican border.

The 2006 Secure Fence Act mandated 700 miles of "reinforced

The sweeping seizure of the AP phone records had thrown Justice on the defensive. But at least in that case Holder had some personal insulation; having been interviewed by the FBI, he'd recused himself from the investigation and, thus, had not personally signed off on the subpoenas. In the Fox case, however, Holder knew he bore a direct measure of responsibility. He had approved a search-warrant application that equated a reporter's newsgathering activities with criminal conduct. That put Holder at the center of the brewing controversy, all while the Obama administration was being buffeted over allegations that the IRS had targeted conservative groups and by the continuing Benghazi tempest.

By week's


end, Holder knew he had to be proactive in stemming the criticism and restoring the department's credibility with the press. He and his advisers began exploring ways to reform the Justice Department's internal guidelines for investigating leaks to safeguard the media against overly intrusive tactics. (Obama announced a review of the guidelines during a major speech on counterterrorism last Thursday.) Meanwhile, on Friday, Holder made a round of calls to Capitol Hill in an attempt to mollify concerned lawmakers. In calls to Sens. Charles Schumer (D-NY), Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), Holder said he understood why there had been such an outcry over his department's actions. As one of Holder's advisers put it, the message was: "Look we get it. We understand why this is soNote: By 1820 the condition of the original parchment of the signed Declaration (signed July 4, 1776 by 56 brave men) was rapidly deteriorating. So John Quincy Adams commissioned William J. Stone to create official facsimile copies of the Declaration using a new wet-ink transfer process. The process called for the surface of the Declaration to be moistened and then pressed against a clean copper plate transferring some of the original ink to the surface of the plate. Two hundred copies of the Declaration were distributed to various important people and places. Today 31 of the 201 Stone facsimiles printed in 1823 are known to exist.


Systematic review of guidelines on peripheral artery disease screening.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) screening may be performed to prevent progression of PAD or future cardiovascular disease in general. Recommendations for PAD screening have to be derived indirectly because no randomized trials comparing screening versus no screening have been performed. We performed a systematic review of guidelines to evaluate the value of PAD screening in asymptomatic adults. Guidelines in English published between January 1, 2003 and January 20, 2011 were retrieved using MEDLINE, CINAHL, the National Guideline Clearinghouse, the National Library for Health, the Canadian Medication Association Infobase, and the G-I-N International Guideline Library. Guidelines developed by national and international medical societies from Western countries, containing recommendations on PAD screening, were included. Two reviewers independently assessed rigor of guideline developmentLAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Valley Fire in Northern California has grown to over 25,000 acres within five hours, burning homes, shutting down parts of a highway and forcing the evacuation of more than 3,000 people in nearby towns.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection says the fire began around 1:30 p.m. Saturday in Lake County. At it’s start, it was 50 acres, but grew to 400 by 4p.m. It burned more than 10,000 acres by 6:30 p.m.

Cal Fire reports that four firefighters suffered burn injuries and were transported to a burn center at UC Davis.

Mandatory evacuations orders have been issued for the Community of Cobb, Middletown, High Valley Road and Bottle Rock Road, Harbor Hot Springs and Big Canyon Road. That was later extend to Middleotwn.


Cal Fire reports that the fire is also threatening structures.

Several road have also been closed in Lake County. Residents have been advised to gather their medications, pets, and important papers and leave the area immediately.

More than 100 firefighters from Cal Fire and the South Lake County Fire Protection District are on the scene. Aerial resources are aggressively fighting the High Valley Incident that is burning at a moderate rate of spread in Oak Grass Woodland.

Cal Fire PIO Daniel Berlant said that the dry conditions due to the drought are why these California wildfires are spreading so fast.

The injured firefighters were members of a helicopter crew based in Lake County. Their conditions have not been released, but Mike Lopez, President of CAL FIRE Local 2881, tweeted that he visitedgame will go ahead regardless.

However, and also again, the explicit cheapening of a major final, of apparent significance to little more than a corporate jolly – a charge that could be increasingly levied at most elite-level football – pales in significance to the political context that involves holding an event in a country which has an effective ban on entry for the citizens and descendants of another.

It isn’t beholden on UEFA to resolve the ongoing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan which means such a ban is in place. It is, however, entirely within their jurisdiction to not award one of its major events to either country. After receiving a letter from Arsenal expressing concerns about the suitability of the host city, UEFA responded by pathetically doubling down,


QPR survive late Northampton scare to scrape through - Report

Wednesday, 9th Aug 2017 15:09 by Clive Whittingham QPR just about managed a 1-0 victory against League One Northampton Town in the League Cup on Tuesday night thanks to a first half goal from Yeni Ngbakoto. Barring that glorious comeback in the final of the Copa Del Ibiza, the bloody vanquishing of Watford in the inaugural and final Dryworld Cup, and The Evening Standard five-a-sides, the League Cup is the only thing QPR have ever won. The first side to win the competition at Wembley, the first Third Division side to win it, coming from 2-0 down to achieve it into the bargain. Modern-day Rangers are equally inept in both cup competitions of course but having history in thisone, along with the Premier League attitude to it making it a potential source of silverwear and European qualification (imagine) for Championship sides, means it's a real shame it has become such a chore for the fans and players. Rangers haven’t been to the fourth round since 2008, the fifth round since 1988 and further than that since they reached the final 31 years ago. Every year I vow to give this one a miss, every following year I respond to the summer footballing starvation by ignoring my own advice, and every year I curse what a ridiculously addicted idiot I am. Scratchy team selections, under-committed players going through the motions, a tiny crowd, a lower-league team with the scent of blood, the Ellerslie Road stand entirely empty


on the line to head it away brilliantly. Then, in six minutes of added on time conjured up for no good reason from the same place referee Charles Brakespear got most of his unfathomable nonsense on the night, the visitors had a stonewall penalty waved away as Jack Robinson – tired, wrong side of his man, never getting to the ball, panicking – shoved the outstanding Town player Billy Waters in the back as he attacked a low cross at the back post. Brakespear waved the appeals away. Only Nedum Onuoha and Luke Freeman survived from the comprehensive weekend beating of Reading but to be fair to Ian Holloway this was no kindergarten. The inglorious list of youngsters thrown into these early League Cup games at random overthe years and expected to perform includes Oscar Gobern, Troy Hewitt, Bruno Andrade, Joe Oastler, Josh Parker, Andrew Howell, Jordan Gibbons, Dominic Shimmin, Aaron Brown, Wes Daly and Dave McEwen – let’s be honest, it feels like I’m just listing Football Manager regens here. Everybody in Tuesday’s starting 11 is a potential starter for QPR this season, including Matt Smith and Idrissa Sylla up front who many were surprised weren’t involved against Reading. Northampton, meanwhile, finished last season four points above the drop zone in League One having failed to win any of their last eight games. Pre-season results have been more encouraging – a home win against Championship side Derby for instance – but they lost on the opening day at Shrewsbury. The team Holloway selected should


middle of the park and his exact physical opposite Billy Waters (22 years old and signed this summer from Cheltenham) channelling early years Andy Sinton in attack, the Cobblers set about their task with class and threat. Waters won a free kick in the fifth minute (harsh one against Borysiuk) allowing Justin Edinburgh’s team to hang one up to the back post for the first time. With not only Crooks but also former Wycombe man Aaron Pierre (a centre back many QPR fans were keen for Rangers to have a look at prior to his summer release from Adams Park) in the box the aerial threat was formidable. The ball did end up in the net, but only after a fairly obvious foul on Alex Smithies’ deputy MattSaturday. Rangers settled down somewhat after the switch. Leon Barnett was booked for a bad foul on Ngbakoto, Caulker (rustier than an old boat) likewise on Long. Referee Breakspear was having more influence than any of the players by this point, first harshly penalising Ngbakoto for very little then, after Ingram had intercepted the resulting counter attack and brilliantly freed Freeman for a burst of his own, failing to award a free kick to the French winger for an obvious foul on him. As QPR protested and Northampton broke, Robinson covered across from left back superbly to get in a strong tackle on Alex Revell and prevent him running away from the last Rangers man. The goal, when it came, ten minutes before half time, was off a


fans behind the goal applauding him off. Meathead. Rangers soon replaced Sylla, who’d been crap, and Matt Smith, who’d been worse, after both picked up head knocks and on came Michael Petrasso and Conor Washington. More eye-catchingly, Ilias Chair replaced Luke Freeman on the hour for his senior debut and slotted straight into an advanced attacking position, flitting around the final third looking for space, showing a deft touch, close control, excellent ability, turn of pace and goal threat. Leading against ten men was a nice cushion for him (sorry) but the Moroccan, added to the Under 23s from Belgium a year ago, was a real pleasure to watch for the final half hour and deserved a goal or assist from one of the many last ditch blocksthe three-man defence apart Furlong settled to his task better than most, providing an attacking threat with the ball at feet down the wing and with his head from offensive corners. Couple of very important blocks and interceptions as Northampton pressed late. Positioning can be suspect though, with wingers running in behind him too easily. Referee – Charles Breakspear (Surrey) 5 Can be a very strange official at times this bloke. Waves away seemingly very obvious fouls (Robinson’s in the last minute, a trip on Chair on the edge of the Northampton box) one minute then awards incredibly soft free kicks for nothing very much at all the next. Barnett can’t have many complaints about his moronic red card but the wild inconsistencies in interpretation of what exactly


and intelligent decision making on when to deliver the ball.

Whilst our performance was weak, not as weak as the referee, who also missed a clear penalty for us and the elbow that led to Smith going off. He also had a bit of the match where he seemed to be talking the players through like in Rugby. Not noticed that before from a football ref, maybe due to the graveyard atmosphere at the match.

There were some reasonable individual performances out there on the night, the highlight being Chair's debut who showed some nice skill and touches, but as a team it just didn't gel. The most worrying aspect was the strike partnership of Sylla and Smith. I don't think that Sylla is quiteFirm to provide teachers, if REA strikes
