LTD earned four items of

revenue.   LTD reported gain on the sale of Currency Fund units.

The funding account (also known as the client clearing account)

purchased Currency Fund units from clients during October and

November and subsequently sold them to the Currency Fund account

for a gain of $64,291.18.    Additionally, LTD reported the gain on

the sale of FEIM Fund units.       The funding account purchased FEIM

Fund units from clients and subsequently sold them to the FEIM

Fund account for a gain of $44,576.33.         LTD had a loss on the

sale of stock in a concern known as TAMSA in the amount of

$11,275.35.     Finally, LTD had a loss on an investment in Mexican

stocks  Whether LTD Was Engaged in Trade
     or Business Within the United States

     The first issue we must decide is whether LTD was engaged in

trade or business within the United States pursuant to section

864(b).   If we decide that LTD was engaged in trade or business

within the United States, then we must decide the character and

the source of each item of LTD's income and whether each such

item was effectively connected with the conduct of such trade or

business pursuant to section 864(c).

     Foreign corporations operating in the United States are

subject to two U.S. taxation regimes.   Under the first regime, a

foreign corporation engaged in trade or business within the

United States during the taxable year

compensations, remunerations, emoluments, and other fixed or

determinable annual or periodical gains, profits, and income",

but only to the extent the amount is received from sources within

the United States and is not effectively connected with the

conduct of trade or business by such corporation within the

United States.    Sec. 881(a).   A foreign corporation is not

subject to tax on its income which is not effectively connected

with its conduct of trade or business within the United States

and which is received from sources without the United States.

Id.   In sum, if LTD is engaged in trade or business within the

United States, income items effectively connected with LTD's

trade or business, including items from sources without the

United States as described in section 864(c)(4), are taxed

pursuant to section 882(a)(1)of a banking,
     financing, or similar business in the United States if
     at some time during the taxable year the taxpayer is
     engaged in business in the United States and the
     activities of such business consist of any one or more

item may be classified as

income from sources within the United States pursuant to section

861, as income from sources without the United States pursuant to

section 862, or as income partly from within and partly from

without the United States pursuant to section 863(b).

     Generally, income from the performance of personal services

has its source where the services are performed.   Absent an

exception not applicable in the instant case, compensation for

labor or personal services performed in the United States is

treated as income from sources within the United States.   Sec.

861(a)(3).   Compensation for labor or personal services performed

without the United States is treated as income from sources

without the United States.   Sec. 862(a)(3).

     For LTD's taxable years ended June 30,activities performed in the United

States and therefore constitutes personal services income from

sources within the United States.

      In Estate of Smith v. Commissioner, 33 T.C. 465 (1959),

Longstreet-Abbott & Co. (LACO), a commodities trading advisor

that was a partnership, offered its clients two investment

opportunities.   The first type of investment was an "Individual

Trading Account" for which LACO purchased and sold, with capital

furnished by the client, commodity futures and spot commodities

in the name of the client.    The second type of investment was a

common "fund" out of which LACO purchased and sold, with capital

furnished by several clients and pooled by LACO, commodity

futures and spot commodities in the name of the "fund".         As its

compensation, LACO received a


that the

income earned by LTD from those transactions was compensation for

personal services rendered entirely in Mexico.    Respondent

contends that the income was from personal services, or in the

alternative, was gain from the sale of personal property, and in

either event had its source solely within the United States.

     We conclude that LTD's income from currency transactions was

compensation for the performance of personal services rather than

gain from the purchases and sales of personal property.     LTD

functioned as an intermediary, working in San Antonio and in

Mexico to effect its clients’ currency transactions.    As to the

currency swaps, LTD’s income derived from commissions from Bank

of America and United States Trust.    As to the currency

transactions, LTD’s income derived fromthe fees it charged its

clients for effecting the transactions.    Accordingly, we hold

that the currency exchange transactions income is characterized
                                - 118 -

as compensation for personal services performed both in the

United States and outside the United States and is treated as

income from sources partly within and partly without the United

States.   Sec. 863(b).

     Petitioners, however, did not provide an apportionment

scheme for the currency exchange transactions income.     The

Deloitte workpapers disclose that two income items derived

directly from the Guadalajara office's currency operations.

Accordingly, we hold that, pursuant to section


  Consequently, we treat

petitioners as having conceded such items.      Accordingly, we

sustain respondent's determinations that the income in each such

category is characterized as compensation for personal services

income performed in the United States and is treated as income

from sources within the United States.      Sec. 861(a)(3).

     3.   Effectively Connected Income Rules

          a.    Introduction to the Rules

     A foreign corporation engaged in trade or business within

the United States is taxed on income which is "effectively

connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the

United States" (hereinafter effectively connected).      Sec.

882(a)(1).   For this and Term Deposits

     Petitioners contend that the income from non-U.S.

investments and term deposits is from sources without the United

States.   Petitioners contend that such income is not effectively

connected income because LTD was not engaged in the active

conduct of a banking, financing, or similar business in the

United States, its principal business was not trading in stock or

securities for its own account, and it did not have an office in

the United States to which such income is attributable.

     Respondent contends that the income from non-U.S.

investments and term deposits is from sources within the United


Labour leader makes first public defence of his role in remain campaign and vows to stand up to any leadership challenge

Jeremy Corbyn has defended Labour’s campaigning in the EU referendum, telling a heckler at London’s Pride festival “I did all I could”, after using a defiant speech to insist he would resist attempts to topple him.

The Labour leader was confronted as he arrived at the march after giving a speech on the effects of Brexit on Saturday morning.

He was accused by the Labour activist Tom Mauchline, who posted a video of the exchange on Twitter, of failing to get enough traditional Labour voters to polling stations on Thursday.

He said: “It’s your fault, Jeremy.leadership challenge.

Senior Labour sources said there was anger among party workers, and some frontbenchers, about the conduct of the Labour In campaign, which many saw as lacklustre. “Cameron worked his bollocks off and showed passion. Corbyn wrote a couple of op-eds and did about 10 events. It’s just not good enough,” said one.

Corbyn had earlier said he would face down any challenge to his leadership, as he outlined Labour’s response to Britain’s vote to leave the EU.

At a hastily convened event in London, Corbyn was cheered by an audience of activists as he cited a petition calling on him to remain in his post.

“Yes, there are some people in the Labour party, and the parliamentary Labour party in particular, who probably want someone else to be the leader

About Jackie Ashenden

Jackie has been writing fiction since she was eleven years old. Mild mannered fantasy/SF/pseudo-literary writer by day, obsessive romance writer by night, she used to balance her writing with the more serious job of librarianship until a chance meeting with another romance writer prompted her to throw off the shackles of her day job and devote herself to the true love of her heart – writing romance. She particularly likes to write dark, emotional stories with alpha heroes who’ve just got the world to their liking only to have it blown wide apart by their kick-ass heroines.

She lives in Auckland, New Zealand with her husband, the inimitable Dr Jax, two kids, two cats and some guppies (possibly dead guppies by the time you readIn pop culture years, 2012 was ages ago. But try to remember. That was the year quarterback Alex Smith suffered a concussion in the first half of the Niners game against the Rams in Week 10, and a backup QB named Colin Kaepernick had to fill in. The game ended in a tie, the NFL's first in four years. The next week Kaepernick started, and led the team to victory. And even after Smith was declared healthy, Kaepernick continued to start—and to win. A "quarterback controversy" brewed, but coach Harbaugh went with the guy "with the hot hand," as they say.

With that, a star was born. A second-year, backup QB led the Niners all the way to Super Bowl XLVII, and even though the Ravens came out on


top, all people could talk about was Kap. His spread in the ESPN Body Issue made women swoon all around the nation. He signed endorsement deals with Jaguar, Nike, Beats, and Electronic Arts. Feature stories were written about his tattoos, his pet tortoise named Sammy, his being a biracial kid adopted by white parents.

You remember how he would kiss his biceps after scoring a touchdown? "Kaepernicking," we called it. "Tebowing" was the thing until Kap became a bigger story, and then suddenly Kaepernicking got so popular that he filed to trademark the term. You probably Kaepernicked back then, just a few years ago. Ah, the glory days.

Now, Colin Kaepernick is unemployed and might remain that way. Now the media is calling him "an ungrateful, entitled idiot." And leagueexecs are reportedly calling him a "traitor."

Because in the NFL, it is OK:

But in the NFL, it is not OK:

for players to advocate for same-sex marriage rights.

for a player to engage in silent protest, as Kaepernick has learned.

In the fall of 2015, Kaepernick's Instagram went from glossy pics of him living the high life—hobnobbing it at GQ parties, posing with sports cars—to political memes and controversial moments in black history. Quotes by Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X began to appear often. If you followed @kaepernick7 for any length of time, you would already know he was thinking deeply about civil rights and social justice. You would know he found parallels between the struggles of those leaders and the issues people of color still face. But it


players to just shut their mouths and play the game, as though signing a contract reduces them from people to chattel, belonging to teams and armchair analysts alike.

Yet he protested anyway.

Kaepernick was fully aware that history is not on the side of athletes who take a stand. When Muhammad Ali, at the height of his career, said he was a "conscientious objector" and refused to be drafted into the Vietnam War, he was arrested, his title was immediately stripped, and his boxing license was revoked. When NBA player Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf refused to stand during the National Anthem on the grounds of his religion, he was shuffled out of the league, losing out on millions and enduring death threats. His home was burned to the ground. After Tommie Smithis waiting for the phone to ring. He is not spending free agency wondering why all the teams in need of a QB haven't dialed him up. That's because he is busy doing what he can to offer solutions to real-world problems, work the government has failed to do. He helped raise awareness of the famine in Somalia, and assisted efforts to charter a plane to deliver tons of food and water. He created a Know Your Rights camp, to inform citizens how to handle interactions with police. He made a Million Dollar Pledge, in which he promised to donate $1 million plus all the proceeds from his 2016 jersey sales to organizations working in oppressed communities. His goal is to donate $100,000 for 10 months, and in


By David Brunnstrom

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The head of U.S. air forces in the Pacific said on Monday that Russia's intervention in Ukraine had been accompanied by a significant increase in Russian air activity in the Asia-Pacific region in a show of strength and to gather intelligence.

General Herbert "Hawk" Carlisle said the activity had included Russian flights to the coast of California, and around the U.S. Pacific island of Guam.

Carlisle said the number of long-range Russian patrols around the Japanese islands and Korea had increased "drastically." He said there had also been "a lot more ship activity as well."

Speaking at Washington's Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank, Carlisle showed a slide of a U.S. F-15 fighter jet intercepting a Russian "Bear" aircraft over Guam. He used thewith other nations in the vicinity," he said.

Carlisle did not give details of the incidents and the Defense Department and the U.S. Air Force and Navy in the Pacific did not immediately respond to a request for more information.

Mike Green, senior vice president for Asia at CSIS, said the frequency of incidents was up and described them as being "evocative of the Cold War".

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in 2007 that Russia was resuming Soviet-era sorties by its strategic bomber aircraft near NATO airspace that were suspended in 1992 after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Putin, who made the announcement during a joint military exercise with China, said the move was necessary to guarantee Russia's safety and that other nations had not followed Moscow's example in suspending

I'm just glad I'm not the guy picking that thing up off the ice.The search for missing flight MH370 has seen a mammoth international effort between 26 governments and an unprecedented use of military technology in the air, on land, at sea and in space. According to the latest statement from Malaysia's Prime Minister, the plane most likely came down in the southern Indian Ocean with a loss of all passengers and crew.

At one point, the search area for the missing airliner spanned an enormous 2.97 million sq miles - an area approximately the size of the US. Searches were focused on two arcs, one southern and one northern, after satellite data revealed the aircraft had sent out signals up to six hours after it dropped off Malaysian radar screens.

With huge expanses of ocean and land to search, along with treacherous


conditions in the southern Indian Ocean, the military has so far been the best equipped to lead the search efforts. Here we look at some of the military equipment deployed during the search and why it has been best suited for the job.

Maritime Patrol Aircraft

Since day one, navies from across Southeast Asia have deployed maritime aircraft in order to find the aircraft and any possible survivors. Malaysia and Vietnam both sent out search aircraft in the initial phases to scour the Gulf of Thailand, where it was initially thought the aircraft went down.

A US Navy P-3 Orion Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA), full of advanced sensors and electronics, soon joined the search.

South China Sea tensions turn to cooperation in Malaysian airliner search The tragic disappearance of a Malaysian airlineron Saturday has brought together opposition navies in a rare show of maritime cooperation in the waters of Southeast Asia.

As new information revealed the aircraft had possibly flown in a northern arc towards Central Asia or southern arc deep into the Indian Ocean, more MPAs took to the skies in a bid to find the missing jet. The US Navy has been using one of its newest and most advanced assets, the P-8 Poseidon, which only began flying operational missions last year.

The P-8 Poseidon is kitted out with infrared and night-vision sensors, on-board radar to detect ships and small vessels and an advanced magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) system which can detect submarines underwater. While not being able to actually recover wreckage, aircraft like this can cover huge areas


Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) sent signal pings via satellite for hours after the plane disappeared from radar. The geostationary satellite run by Inmarsat detected the 'ping timings' getting longer over time meaning the plane was still intact and heading further away - putting it on the two possible flight arcs mentioned above.

On Monday 24 March, new analysis by Inmarsat and the UK's Air Accidents Investigation Branch confirmed the aircraft did fly southwards and likely crashed into the Indian Ocean.

"At one point, the search area for the missing airliner spanned an enormous 2.97 million sq miles - an area approximately the size of the US ."

Low-earth orbit imagery satellites, which often have dual civil and military purposes, have also been pivotal in the search and rescue attempts. They'veenabled authorities to peer deep into the expanses of the Indian Ocean which are inaccessible to aircraft and would take days for ships to travel to.

A breakthrough was made on 22 March when a Chinese satellite - the Gaofen-1 high-resolution optical Earth observation satellite operated by China's National Space Administration - spotted debris in the southern Indian Ocean.

Those images spurred a renewed effort by the Australian government and since then a French satellite has also identified possible objects in the area - thousands of miles off the Australian coastline.

Naval ships and commercial vessels

If the wreckage of MH370 is ever found it will be ships, rather than aircraft or satellites, which can confirm if it from the ill-fated airliner. Both naval and civilian ships have already played a vital


role in the search and that is set to continue in the days and weeks ahead.

China, which had 152 citizens on board the jet, has contributed a sizable naval fleet for the search operation. In the initial stages of the search, Chinese ships were scouring the South China Sea region for possible sightings of the airliner. Since the release of satellite imagery showing possible wreckage west of Australia, China's National Maritime Search and Rescue Center said it would be sending three warships and an icebreaker to the region.

Sea change – Naval development in China Seas Territorial disputes in the South and East China Seas and an impetus to defend strategic access points have driven naval fleets in the region to invest.

The US Navy has used at least twoArleigh Burke-class destroyers in the search, a platform which utilises highly-advanced underwater sensors for anti-submarine warfare. The ships are also equipped with two SH-60 Sea Hawk helicopters which have enabled a wider search area to be covered.

In a recent development, the US Navy announced it was sending a black box detector to the southern Indian Ocean search area. The Towed Pinger Locator 25, which is towed behind a vessel travelling at low speeds, listens for pings from an airliner's black box locator beacon and can even detect boxes up to a maximum depth of 20,000ft.

The deployment of a black box detector is a strong inidication that authorities now believe the aircraft crashed somewhere in the Indian Ocean.

Radar is possibly the most secretive of all military assets used

Isauro Sanchez

Four members of a Mexican family were shot to death in 1981 in the stairwell of a building on Milwaukee Avenue in Chicago. A survivor of the attack told police that one of the killers was a man named Gilberto Varela. When police went to Varela’s apartment, they were met by a man who said he was not Varela, but rather Rogelio Arroyo. Although the man in fact was who he said he was, he was arrested, along with three of his relatives — Isauro Sanchez, Ignacio Varela, and Joaquin Varela. All four were indicted nine days later for capital murder.

Meanwhile, the man whom the survivor had identified as one of the killers was en route to


Mexico along with the other actual killers. At the 1982 trial of Sanchez and his co-defendants, prosecutors — lacking physical evidence — relied on identification testimony of an eyewitness who admitted being drunk at the time of the crime and on a statement made by one of the defendants during interrogation. When interrogators falsely told him that his co-suspects had said he was present when the crime occurred, he replied, “Si ellos dicen que yo estuve alli, entonces ellos tambien estuvieron alli.” (“If they say I was there, then they must have been there too.”) All four men were found guilty and sentenced to life.

In 1985, long after the convictions had been affirmed on appeal, the Mexican consul general in Chicago retained Gary W. Adair, an immigration lawyer,he's had to learn in his career. He's only completed 57 percent of his passes for 1,010 yards and four touchdowns and six interceptions. The Cardinals rank 18th in the NFL in passing, 26th in rushing and 27th in overall offense. "It's the whole offense," WR Andre Roberts said. "He's (Palmer) not played well at times, receivers have not played as well at times, the offensive line, running backs. It's a team effort. Especially on offense, you've got to have all 11 guys on the same page." WR Larry Fitzgerald said there are "a lot of nuances" in the system, but if done right, "it's pretty invincible." Palmer has been sacked 10 times and will have a new left tackle, OT Bradley Sowell, protecting his blind side in


where he was examined. Later, J.K. spoke with Detective Damewood and Duane Johnson, a social worker at Primary Children's Medical Center. On direct examination before the jury, J.K. said that Santa (identifying Reiners) would take him to the "North Pole," where Santa and three other adults would engage J.K. in several different forms of sexual games. J.K. also indicated that Santa Claus (identifying Reiners) used various types of physical abuse and intimidation to gain his cooperation in their games. He said that sometimes his schoolmates were involved in the games. Thereafter, Damewood and Johnson were permitted to testify to the jury that J.K. had told them similar stories during pre-trial interviews.

We first examine whether the trial court erred in admitting through Damewood and Johnson the child's out-of-court assertions.

A.the child does seem fairly alert, fairly reliable for a child of seven years. He is fidgety. He is here and there, the way most seven-year-old children would be.
You could tell he had some trouble as far as his eyes were concerned. You could tell that his mind would wander sometimes. And you could tell that some statements, some words could be put into his mouth, so to speak.
But the child, himself, on most situations answered the questions without being led. It was only when he was being led that the Court had any question as far as his reliability was concerned. But when he was testifying on his own from direct statements, that his testimony appeared to be reliable.
And the Court does not find that  the


long time ago. The book is set in the 1950s, roughly contemporaneous with when Pinkwater went to high school. For Pinkwater's sake, I hope it's not too autobiographical, even if it does have that flavor. It is written in the form of a college admission essay in answer to the question "Characterize in essay form, your high-school experience. you may use additional sheets as needed." It starts out along the lines of Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and ends up in the literary territory of Lenanora Carrington's surrealist novel The Hearing Trumpet.

Nifkin's immigrant parents are casually unpleasant to him. His father's primary concern seems to be that if he is to smoke, he should smoke cigars, not cigarettes, and his mother is a terrible cookwho is desperately concerned that he might be recruited by communists or maybe homosexuals:

"Just remember, those Reds are always looking for a simpleminded kid like you, without any friends. If anyone starts being nice to you, it's safe to assume they're trying to recruit you for the Party."

"Okay, Mom." (p. 69)

Nifkin's teachers at high school are amazing characatures: The gym teacher is a sadist. His homeroom teacher is most concerned with learning whether anyone at the school is distributing communist propaganda or pornography. His English teacher is a rabid anti-semite who is also terribly concerned about communism. The biology teacher talks nonsense to herself or perhaps to someone only she can see. And the history teacher is a bitter man who wants everyone to know he could be


making three times as much in industry. Nifkin joins the ROTC to avoid the sadistic gym teacher. Sergeant Gunter, The ROTC teacher, is a communist who reads Karl Marx to the ROTC students and is eventually arrested.

The book gets weirder from there: our hero ceases going to school after the arrest of Sergeant Gunter. He avoids being sent to reform school by getting his parents to send him to a strange private school in the ancestral mansion of a robber baron run by a pair of sweet older ladies and their beatnick friends.

David brought me home both Blue-Eyed Devil and Grey Gardens last night when he came back from NYC. I think he brought me the former because someone had characterized me as a "blue-eyed devil" in arecent blog post (for the record, my eyes are hazel, thank you) and the later because of my fascination with the psychological meaning of architecture.

The Guardian quote on the back of Blue-Eyed Devil characterizes Michael Muhammad Knight as "the Hunter S. Thompson of Islamic literature." Knight is a white guy in his 20s who converted to Islam as a teenager. The book is Knight's odyssey in search of the truth about W. D. Fard, founder of the Nation of Islam. From the NYT:

The man who founded the Nation in 1930, W. D. Fard, spread the message that American blacks belonged to a lost Muslim tribe and were superior to the “white, blue-eyed devils” in their midst. Under Mr. Fard’s successor, Elijah Muhammad, the Nation flourished in the 1960s


amid the civil rights struggle and the emergence of a black-separatist movement.

Knight, by his own account is the son of an abusive schizophrenic white-supremacist father. The description of his early childhood reads like something out of Joel Steinberg's trial for the murder of his adopted daughter. The author didn't speak until age four, several years after he and mother escaped from his father. Knight is mostly homeless, living in his car as he pursues the phantom of W. D. Fard who disappeared in 1933. He has many strange adventures and talks to many people with even stranger theories about Fard.

As the book ends, Knight interviews Malcolm Shabazz in prison. Shabazz, grandson of Malcolm X, was diagnosed schizophrenic at age 12. While living with his grandmother, he set firerepeatedly brands himself as an unreliable narrator, that sometimes I found the crazy conversations he got into with narrators much more unreliable than himself hard to take. Also, because he is a white guy seeking encounters with black Muslims, he repeatedly opens himself to black racism. (Though usually, people try to be nice and tend to open conversations by trying to introduce him to the basics of Islam, assuming that he has walked into a mosque out of naive post 9/11 curiosity.) I'll read more later.

Also, reading the parts about his childhood and adolescence, I found Knight's and Nifkin's fathers running together in my head, as though these were somehow accounts of the same person, told from different angles. (Pinkwater's book begins, "My father was a son-of-a-bitch from


Eastern Europe.")

And so: Grey Gardens. This book is a lavishly produced coffee-table book published by Free News Projects and priced at $45.00. It comes with an audio CD. It is about archetypal crazy cat-ladies, beautiful socialites turned recluses, retreating into mansion and trust funds. Somewhere in there one of the Edies claims that the most cats she's ever had was 300, and that she took excellent care of them all.

This book, which is connected to the 1974 documentary of the same name and to an HBO movie starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lang concerns two women, mother and daughter: Edie Ewing Bouvier Beale and Edith Ewing Beale, Jr., the aunt and cousin respectively of Jackie Kennedy.

They lived in a sea-side mansion in the Hamptons, purchased in the 20s,which fell into disrepair and got filled up with ancestral possessions and other things. When in the 1970s the health department held raids, Jackie Kennedy, and her sister Lee Radizwill put up the money to save the house from further decay. The documentary about the two women and their house was released in 1976 and is an example of cinema vérité.

The book is interesting, but I suspect it would mean more if I had seen one or more of the movies. While it does contain a lot of information, the imagery of the book corresponds to meanings I find elusive, which probably relate to the original film.

As someone married to a collector personality-type in a house he spent several decades stuffing with possessions before I came along, I


of a Wimpy Kid series and ends up in the literary territory of Lenanora Carrington's surrealist novel The Hearing Trumpet.

Nifkin's immigrant parents are casually unpleasant to him. His father's primary concern seems to be that if he is to smoke, he should smoke cigars, not cigarettes, and his mother is a terrible cook who is desperately concerned that he might be recruited by communists or maybe homosexuals:

"Just remember, those Reds are always looking for a simpleminded kid like you, without any friends. If anyone starts being nice to you, it's safe to assume they're trying to recruit you for the Party."

"Okay, Mom." (p. 69)

Nifkin's teachers at high school are amazing characatures: The gym teacher is a sadist. His homeroom teacher is most concerned with learning whether anyone atthe school is distributing communist propaganda or pornography. His English teacher is a rabid anti-semite who is also terribly concerned about communism. The biology teacher talks nonsense to herself or perhaps to someone only she can see. And the history teacher is a bitter man who wants everyone to know he could be making three times as much in industry. Nifkin joins the ROTC to avoid the sadistic gym teacher. Sergeant Gunter, The ROTC teacher, is a communist who reads Karl Marx to the ROTC students and is eventually arrested.

The book gets weirder from there: our hero ceases going to school after the arrest of Sergeant Gunter. He avoids being sent to reform school by getting his parents to send him to a strange private school in the


ancestral mansion of a robber baron run by a pair of sweet older ladies and their beatnick friends.

David brought me home both Blue-Eyed Devil and Grey Gardens last night when he came back from NYC. I think he brought me the former because someone had characterized me as a "blue-eyed devil" in a recent blog post (for the record, my eyes are hazel, thank you) and the later because of my fascination with the psychological meaning of architecture.

The Guardian quote on the back of Blue-Eyed Devil characterizes Michael Muhammad Knight as "the Hunter S. Thompson of Islamic literature." Knight is a white guy in his 20s who converted to Islam as a teenager. The book is Knight's odyssey in search of the truth about W. D. Fard, founderof the Nation of Islam. From the NYT:

The man who founded the Nation in 1930, W. D. Fard, spread the message that American blacks belonged to a lost Muslim tribe and were superior to the “white, blue-eyed devils” in their midst. Under Mr. Fard’s successor, Elijah Muhammad, the Nation flourished in the 1960s amid the civil rights struggle and the emergence of a black-separatist movement.

Knight, by his own account is the son of an abusive schizophrenic white-supremacist father. The description of his early childhood reads like something out of Joel Steinberg's trial for the murder of his adopted daughter. The author didn't speak until age four, several years after he and mother escaped from his father. Knight is mostly homeless, living in his car as he pursues the


phantom of W. D. Fard who disappeared in 1933. He has many strange adventures and talks to many people with even stranger theories about Fard.

As the book ends, Knight interviews Malcolm Shabazz in prison. Shabazz, grandson of Malcolm X, was diagnosed schizophrenic at age 12. While living with his grandmother, he set fire to the house, burning his grandmother so badly that she died after three weeks in critical condition. The final paragraph of Knight's book reads:

Malcolm Shabazz had quoted Ho Chi Minh as saying that when prison gates are opened, the real dragon flies out. And he told me that the race goes not to the swift but to those who can endure until the end. I think he's living his grandfather's life all over again.

Film director Roland Emmerich and Hollywood actor Jeff Goldblum have delivered some heavy news on-air to TODAY co-host Karl Stefanovic.

In Australia to promote their new film, Independence Day: Resurgence , the famous pair were being interviewed by the TODAY team via video-link when co-host Lisa Wilkinson asked about Stefanovic's cameo in the film.

In June last year, Stefanovic travelled to the film's set in Albuquerque, New Mexico, to film a scene as a reporter.

"Yeah, well..." Emmerich reluctantly replied, while Goldblum grimaced and said, "Uh-oh".

"Yes, he played one of the reporters, in a scene...and, but unfortunately we had to cut that scene," Emmerich said.

"The movie was too long,WHO May Lose Credibility After Ebola

Agency seeks a new model after flaws revealed by Ebola crisis.

As the Ebola epidemic drags on, the World Health Organization is in danger of losing its credibility as a bulwark against infectious disease.

The West African epidemic is a "mega-crisis (that) overwhelmed the capacity of WHO," according to Director-General Margaret Chan, MD, speaking to reporters in late January.

To prevent a similar crisis in the future, Chan has proposed a package of reforms, including a large contingency fund for emergencies, an increase in the number of trained people able to deploy quickly to a crisis site, and structural changes to streamline the famously unwieldy organization.

Whether those get anywhere is the vital question, according to Lawrence Gostin, JD, of the O'Neill Institute for National and Global


Health Law at Washington's Georgetown University.

And if the opportunity for reform is missed, Gostin said, "WHO will have lost the confidence of the world for a generation."

Gostin was a member of a reform advisory committee Chan set up early in her term in office, but none of the recommendations from that committee went anywhere, he said -- either watered down internally or not accepted by the member states.

Time for Reform?

But this time, Chan has said she thinks the member states -- which will meet as the World Health Assembly in May -- might be on her side.

"The member states truly, truly understand the world does need a collective defense mechanism for global health security," Chan told reporters. The evidence of that, she said, is that the organization's 34-membercredibility in the eyes of the international community," she told MedPage Today.

Magnifying Glass

"The WHO is currently under a magnifying glass," she added.

"People at the WHO really learned from the experience of Ebola and saw what happens when you are underprepared," commented Amesh Adalja, MD, of the Center for Health Security at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

The epidemic started in December 2013, in a remote forested area of Guinea. But by the time anyone noticed, 3 months had passed and the virus had a grasp on the region that it has yet to relinquish.

Recent data suggest that the battle against the disease is slowly being won. The WHO figures for the week ending Feb. 8 show 144 newly confirmed cases in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.

It's the second


$10 million for it. And she might also get her medical rapid response force of about 1,500 doctors, nurses, and other professionals.

But whether those and other needed reforms go ahead will depend on the political will expressed by Chan and the member states in May.

"Is Ebola a game-changer?" asked Gostin. "Will the director-general for the first time insist and not give up, and not yield to member states? And will member states act like stakeholders that want the WHO to succeed?"

"It will be absolutely the most important World Health Assembly in living memory."

And, he argued, if the assembly ends with a stronger, more effective WHO, the Ebola crisis will have become -- still a disaster, yes -- but also a "transformational moment" for international public health.

Eventually, Far From Home filmmaker Jon Watts presented Gyllenhaal with an offer to play a complex character named Mysterio.

Together, Gyllenhaal and Watts crafted a villain pretending to be a hero by subtly doubling down on superhero tropes that would be easy to miss until a second viewing. Gyllenhaal selected an oversized wedding band for Beck to lean into the family tragedy cliche; he also heightened a few lines; and because Beck is also a disgruntled former employee of Stark Industries, and not a seasoned actor since the age of 9 like Gyllenhaal, the actor knew that his performance within a performance needed to be

One of the whistleblowers spoke with The Washington Post, and several DHS officials confirmed the accounts. … According to both, there were at least two versions of the plan being considered. One was to move migrants who were already in ICE detention to the districts of Democratic opponents. The second option was to bus migrants apprehended at the border to sanctuary cities, such as New York, Chicago and San Francisco.

“Senior Trump adviser Stephen Miller discussed the proposal with ICE, according to two DHS officials. Matthew Albence, who is ICE’s acting deputy director, immediately questioned the proposal in November. Albence declined to comment but issuedthe flying bullets or middle-of-the-night escapes many expected from a leader who survived numerous past crises.

The staff of Kyoto Animation's Liz to Aoitori ( Liz und ein Blauer Vogel or Liz and the Bluebird), the first of two planned all-new anime films in the Sound! Euphonium franchise, announced on Tuesday that 13-year-old figure skater Miyu Honda will have her first voice acting role in the film. Honda will play two characters from the film's in-story fairy tale: Liz, an orphan girl who lives alone by a lake, and a mysterious blue-haired girl who saves Liz when she falls.

In addition, the staff announced that Kyoto-based three-woman, one-man band Homecomings will perform the film's theme song "Songbirds."

Most of the main cast from the previous Sound! Euphonium anime are reprising their roles. The returning cast and characters include:

Atsumi Tanezaki as Mizore


Yoroizuka, a third-year oboist. Before studying at Kitauji, she came from Kyoto's Minami Junior High School band program, where she developed top class skills. Nozomi means everything to her, and she can't bring herself to be truly interested in anything else.

Nao Tōyama as Nozomi Kasaki, a third-year flutist. As with Mizore, she also graduated from Minami Junior High School. She did not join band in her first year of high school, but rejoined in the summer of her second year. She is highly skilled and has a bright personality, which endears her to all the underclassmen.

Konomi Fujimura as Natsuki Nakagawa, a third-year euphonist, and the band's vice president. She only started playing an instrument in high school. In her middle school years, she had admired Nozomi within hercircle of friends.

Yuri Yamaoka as Yūko Yoshikawa, a third-year trumpeter, and the band's president. She has been worried about Mizore since the crisis two years ago that led many members of the band to quit.

Tomoyo Kurosawa as Kumiko Ōmae, a second-year euphonist.

Ayaka Asai as Hazuki Katō, a second-year tubist.

Moe Toyota as Sapphire "Midori" Kawashima, a second-year bassist.

Chika Anzai as Reina Kōsaka, a second-year trumpeter

Other cast members include:

Houko Kuwashima as Satomi Niiyama

Yūichi Nakamura as Masahiro Hashimoto

Takahiro Sakurai as Noboru Taki

Shiori Sugiura will voice a new character Ririka Kenzaki. Ririka is a new first-year oboist who tries hard to communicate with her fellow oboist and upperclassman Mizore.

The film will open in Japan on April 21.

The film will tell a new story of third-year students Nozomi Kasaki and Mizore Yoroizuka.

Historical clinical and economic consequences of anemia management in patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis using erythropoietin stimulating agents versus routine blood transfusions: a retrospective cost-effectiveness analysis.
To determine whether Medicare's decision to cover routine administration of erythropoietin stimulating agents (ESAs) to treat anemia of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) has been a cost-effective policy relative to standard of care at the time. The authors used summary statistics from the actual cohort of ESRD patients receiving ESAs between 1995 and 2004 to create a simulated patient cohort, which was compared with a comparable simulated cohort assumed to rely solely on blood transfusions. Outcomes modeled from the Medicare perspective included estimated treatment costs, life-years gained, and quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs). Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was calculated relative to the hypothetical referenceis, divination through the observation of birds). Having learning through her art that one of her sons had died in a domestic accident and that she herself had not long to live, she called her remaining children – a monk and a nun – to her bedside. Knowing that damnation was near, she gave instructions for her corpse to be sewn into deer skin and placed in a stone sarcophagus within the local church. The lid was to be fastened with iron and lead and the coffin itself to be bound with three heavy iron chains. Fifty masses were to be said day and night over her body and then, on the fourth day, it was to be removed from the sarcophagus and placed in the ground. These


instructions were mostly followed to the letter. However, on the third night, a large and terrifying demon burst through the main entrance of the church, shattering the door to pieces. Striding up to the coffin, the demon cut the chain as if it were not even there, kicked off the lid, and dragged the woman out by the hand. A monstrous stallion stood waiting by the door with iron hooks protruding all the way down its back. The ‘poor wretch’ was set upon the barbs, after which she and the horse vanished along with the rest of the demonic horde. It was said that her cries for help could be heard for up to four miles away

A chilling story, certainly, but what does it all mean? The motifof forced expulsion from holy ground is, I believe, the symbolic weapon that links the Witch of Berkeley to its historical and manuscript context. William was a canny writer, and it is no coincidence that he inserts his witchcraft story (along with myriad other wonder stories) just after 1051. This was a precarious time in English history, when civil war almost erupted between Edward the Confessor and the ambitious noblemen, Godwin of Wessex (father of Harold Godwinson). The depth of Godwin and Edward’s enmity is too great to go into much detail here, but it suffices to say that Godwin was exiled from England as a result of his growing unease about Norman influence in the English court. As an outlaw Godwin took to committing piracy along the


of the contemporary political climate, at one point likening the relationship between Normandy and England to that of a pair of conjoined twins: one twin, dead and rotten (Normandy), yet sustained by the life-force of the other (English taxes). And yet this is not to say that William was completely anti-Noman. He was too sophisticated a historian for such a one-sided viewpoint. The breakdown of the natural order of things seems to have been his primary concern. The Witch of Berkeley was expertly constructed to pass ironic judgement on all kinds of transgression.

Once again, life has kinda gotten in the way of doing any blog updates in recent months. Hopefully things will get a little less hectic in the near future, but in the meantime I thought I’dFor centuries it was a popular motif in sculpture, manuscript illumination, and drama. What, then, are the origins of the hellmouth, and why does its symbolism resonate so strongly even today.

It’s assumed that the idea of an all-consuming Hellmouth derived, in part, from ancient Mesopotamian creation myths, which, through many transformations, found their way into Judo-Christian thought as the mighty sea-beast Leviathan. Job 41 was the Biblical precedent through which the concrete association between Leviathan and Hell was made. Verses 19-21 are particularly evocative:

Flames stream from its mouth;
sparks of fire shoot out.
Smoke pours from its nostrils
as from a boiling pot over burning reeds.
Its breath sets coals ablaze,
and flames dart from its mouth

Biblical exegesis often involved the creation of typologies. That is, it was believed that events in the


depicts a hairy, corpulent Satan simultaneously gorging on and defecating the damned.

As the centuries progressed, the ubiquity of the Hellmouth image led to its use in more popular and commercial contexts. By the early modern period elaborate hellmouths were being used as props in Mystery Plays. As noted by Gary D. Schmidt, surviving documentation from the Drapers Guild, Coventry (1562), reveals a payment for ‘kepyng of fyer at hell mouthe’, suggesting that pyrotechnics were being employed to simulate an appropriately hellish environment. Bellows and braziers were likely used to create the illusion of a fiery, smoky, and actively monstrous doorway to damnation – the very image of Leviathan as described in Job 41:19-21.

Latin MS 82 from the John Rylands Library in Manchester is a fascinating, if often overlooked, alchemical miscellany dating to the early seventeenth century. According to an inscription on the top of fol. 2r, the book appears to have once been owned by ‘Jo.

Prue Salasky, psalasky@dailypress.com | 757-247-4784

Months into a waiting game on the future of Ashwood Assisted Living in Hampton, owner Scott Schuett has voluntarily closed two additional homes, Oakwood in Suffolk in June and, last month, Colonial Home in Chesapeake. Of the six homes, housing 400 residents, which he operated just a couple of years ago, only Ashwood and Chesapeake Home in Chesapeake remain open. Neither has a current license.

Conditions at Ashwood have failed to meet state standards on countless occasions over the past few years. Multiple inspections have revealed hundreds of violations, including medication mismanagement, bedbugs and insufficient food for residents. Its license expired a year ago, on Aug. 25, 2012, but it continues to operate while its revocation is under appeal.


Chesapeake Home's provisional license expired on June 30.

The latest step in the Ashwood appeal took place at a closed hearing in Newport News at the end of May. At that time the hearing officer said a decision would be made within 90 days. But, according to Patricia "Trish" Meyer, regional licensing administrator for the Virginia Department of Social Services (DSS), the need for additional information extended the hearing process into mid-July, which pushed back the 90-day window. Once the hearing officer's recommendation is received, the DSS Commissioner then has an additional 30 days to make a case decision.

"I would love for this to be resolved as soon as possible," said Lynne Williams, director of the Division of Licensing Programs for DSS which regulates the state's 539 assisted livinginto working with residents receiving state auxiliary grants. Used with Social Security income, they provide homes with about $1,100 a month for each resident. In a December 2012 interview, Schuett claimed to be the largest provider of auxiliary grant beds in the state. (The program serves about 6,000 people statewide.) Since then, he has declined to give interviews to the newspaper. An administrator who answered the phone at Ashwood this week declined to comment on the facility's status.

"Our goal is always to keep facilities open and get them within compliance," said Williams, citing license revocation as a last resort.

At the July meeting of the Commonwealth Council on Aging, an appointed body that meets quarterly to make policy recommendations on aging, the issue of ALF licensing was discussed. Attendee


Carter Harrison, director of public policy for the Alzheimer's Association in Virginia, was part of a collaborative that instituted reforms in 2005, including the provision for emergency suspension of licensure. "If the Code section isn't functioning, then we should meet to make it function," he said later in a phone interview. "I'm sorry to hear that we're back where we started from with auxiliary grant facilities."

The Council, whose meetings are open to the public, voted to invite representatives from the offices of the attorney general and the Secretary of Health and Human Resources to address the summary suspension procedure at its next meeting in September, according to the posted minutes on the Division for the Aging's web site.matter of the dependent method claims.
The method according to the invention proceeds from a method for authorizing the use of a motor vehicle, in particular a two- or four-wheeled motor vehicle, that has at least a first antenna and a second antenna, wherein the first antenna and the second antenna are at a physical interval from one another, by a portable identification transmitter that has an identification transmitter antenna.
This known method is developed according to the invention by the following steps.
In a first step, the first vehicle antenna emits a first signal that is received via the identification transmitter antenna.
In a second step, the identification transmitter ascertains at least one of the spatial components of the first electromagnetic field of the received first signal, preferably using an angle-resolving


magnetic field sensor.
In a third step, the second vehicle antenna emits a second signal that is received via the identification transmitter antenna.
In a fourth step, the identification transmitter ascertains at least one of the spatial components of the second electromagnetic field of the received second signal, preferably using the angle-resolving magnetic field sensor.
In a fifth step, the identification transmitter transmits a measure or a value for the ascertained at least one spatial component of the first electromagnetic field of the received first signal and a measure or a value for the ascertained at least one spatial component of the second electromagnetic field of the received second signal to the vehicle.
In a sixth step, a first computer, preferably a computer in the motor vehicle, ascertains the angle at leastseries. As an on-screen star, he’s appeared in Outbreak, Under Siege, Saving Private Ryan, Band of Brothers and Starship Troopers.

But as he adjusts to life in the NFL, Jacobs is set to be featured on the next episode of HBO’s ‘Hard Knocks’ on Tuesday night.

The preview clip of the episode focuses on the team’s recent practices with the Los Angeles Rams.

Jacobs is one of several rookies listed as a starter on the recently released Oakland depth chart. The coaching staff is openly preparing Jacobs for the regular season and limiting his preseason action. For example, he didn’t play in Saturday’s game against the Rams.

The mortality of a cohort of 2310 male workers who obtained a licence to handle pesticides in the period 1973-1979 in the province of Rome was investigated. The cohort contributed 26,846 person-years of exposure. The vital status of the cohort was determined up to the end of 1988. The causes of death of the 207 who had died were ascertained from death certificates. Standardized mortality ratios (SMR) were computed using both the provincial and the national mortality rates. The two methods yielded very similar results. Using the national rates, the SMR for all causes was 56 (95% confidence interval (CI) : 45.3-59.8), for cardiovascular diseases 47 (95% CI : 37.1-59.1), and for all cancers

Tasmanian Premier Peter Gutwein said while schools remained open for now, they would close to students after Friday next week.

From the 6th to the 9th of April schools would be student-free.

Mr Gutwein said the student-free days would: "enable schools and teachers to complete the professional learning required to finalise the delivery of a home and online model from the beginning of the new term post the holidays".

"In term two, schools will remain open for students of essential workers and parents who wish their children to attend an education setting.

"We will support other students in their home, through either online or through other resources."

But the Australian Education Union (AEU) called for thestudent-free days to start a week earlier from Monday, March 30.

AEU Tasmanian president Helen Richardson said teachers and support staff felt abandoned by Mr Gutwein.

"Tasmanian private schools have already announced student-free days this week, others have closed, allowing their teachers to prepare for online learning from Monday," she said.

"Public schools are being left further and further behind in terms of preparation time and resourcing."

Several independent schools in Tasmania — St Michael's Collegiate and the Friends School in Hobart and Scotch Oakburn College in Launceston — have either announced plans to transition to online learning or have done so already.

The Hutchins School in Hobart on Wednesday said it would move to an online learning model for the rest of the term, with the last school day on Thursday and


A Church of England vicar has been defrocked after his wife exposed his life of group sex and visits to gay brothels.

A Church of England tribunal in London heard how the Reverend James Meredith Day’s behaviour led to his wife, Birte Day, deciding to leave him.

She alleged that her estranged husband visited gay saunas and kept a collection of extreme pornography.

“The two most important elements in his life were God and sex,” she claimed.

The Rev Day, who was educated at the University of Cambridge, was accused of becoming “powerful and menacing” towards his wife to the point of spanking her for wearing shorts in front of workmen. “He said I had not to wear indecent clothes, in particular not in front of these men who would be lookingat me,” she said.

She also claims that she found cards for gay saunas in their home after they were burgled. When she confronted him, he responded: “Am I not allowed to go to the sauna and do something for myself and be a free man?”

The Sun reports that since leaving her husband in 2012, Mrs Day has collected evidence against him, including extreme pornographic images that were stored on his computer and references to group sex.

A church safeguarding officer told the tribunal that the images including “young teenage” boys and girls, as well as sketches of women being burned at the stake.

Mrs Day said that he sent her an email in which he revealed he had an addiction: “James said that he had a ‘sexual addiction’ and a

The bag is then sealed off before the bag is baked in an oven to bring about the transfer of a decorative design or picture to the surface of the foundation coat of the watch case from the decal-bearing paper. The transfer is attained by sublimation. Finally, the watch case is removed from the bag such that the remainder of the decal-bearing paper is separated from the watch case.Once again set in Pittsburgh's renowned Abby Lee Dance Company, owned and operated by the famously outspoken Miller, "Dance Moms" follows the children's early steps on the road to stardom and their mothers who are there fo... more &raquor every rehearsal.

Towards an abstraction of transparencies: It is by observing the projection of the colours of stained glass windows that form ephemeral abstract images that his interest in pure light colour developed. 1980, he defined a theory on the 4 primordial colours of light and began to develop an abstract pictorial work: light and its chromatic fieldsare only vibratory energies. The transparent aspect of colours and its pictorial rendering are one of the important aspects of his work: bringing transparency to colour means making it brighter and bringing white light closer to its original state; the transparency of colour by superposition allows the transmutation of material colour into light colour; his repertoire of forms is inspired by the often geometric primitive constructions found in nature.

Vibrations of colours and synchronicity: The vibrations of transparent colours associated with a wide variety of geometric shapes trigger emotions and positive energies on the viewer, and in his creative process he sometimes provokes chance to obtain "happy coincidences" (Carl Gustav JUNG calls this synchronicity which is found in various fields such as quantum physics and biology)

OFFICIAL: Barcelona signs Kevin-Prince Boateng from Sassuolo

It may be deemed as one of the most bizarre transfers of our time but it has happened anyway. Barcelona has officially confirmed the signing of Ghanaian star Kevin-Prince Boateng from Serie A outfit Sassuolo.

News of the 31-year-old attacker's imminent move to the Catalan club broke on Monday morning, stirring a massive pandemonium on social media. With the authenticity of the information being questioned, Boateng endorsed the shocking news by confirming that he was indeed moving to Barcelona in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports a few hours later.

"Barça, I'm coming! I'm sad to leave Sassuolo but it is a great chance."

Known as an admirer of Real Madrid, Boateng was quizzed about the rivals of his new club but was quick todownplay any form of affiliation or affection for a club he previously admitted that he could have joined earlier in his career.

"Don't ask me about Real Madrid... is just the past! I only want to focus on Barcelona and I hope to score at Bernabéu for the next Clásico"

A statement by Barcelona in relation to the transfer reads as follows: "FC Barcelona and US Sassuolo have arrived at an agreement for the loan of the player Kevin-Prince Boateng for the remainder of the 2018/19 season. The agreement includes an €8m purchase option.

"The player will be presented on Tuesday, 22 January.

"…Kevin-Prince Boateng is a player who will surely adapt quickly to the team," the statement continued.

"With the experience of playing in four of the biggest leagues in Europe, the


Premier League, the Bundesliga, Serie A and La Liga, he is a man who has scored goals wherever he has been.

"Furthermore, Boateng is a player who versatile to a fault. During his time with Las Palmas with Quique Setién as coach he played as an out and out striker, a typical number '9'.

"However, he is also able to play further back as he did at AC Milan, scoring twice against Barça in his time with the Rossoneri. His ability to bring people into the game means he is excellent at playing behind the main striker."

Boateng moved to Sassuolo last summer after winning the DFB Pokal Cup with Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.

Type 60 SPRR

The Type 60 SPRR is a light Japanese anti-tank gun armed with two recoilless American rifles. That’s right, recoilless! Unusual cannons like this are making their first appearance in the game.

The Type 60 Self-Propelled Recoilless Rifle is a light anti-tank gun, one of the first developed by Japan after the war. In the 1950s, Japan was forced to deviate from its post-war development concept of exclusively peaceful industry and return to designing its own military vehicles. Apart from universal, but expensive-to-produce tanks, the developed countries of the world often held cheaper, but less effective anti-tank guns in service. Japan also decided not to


become an exception. In 1954, the Komatsu and Mitsubishi companies received an order to develop and build prototypes of a new light anti-tank gun armed with two recoilless rifles. By 1955, the SS1 and SS2 prototypes by the Komatsu and Mitsubishi companies respectively were ready. Mitsubishi’s SS2 won favor in the course of testing, but Komatsu had no plans to give up, and in 1956, they presented a new prototype for testing with the index SS3, armed with 4 recoilless rifles at once. The installation of 4 guns later had to be dropped, since their position made the vehicle’s profile too tall and noticeable. By 1959, the Komatsu company had developed its fourth and final prototype, designated SS4, with a more powerful engine and new transmission. This wasaccepted into service under the designation Type 60 Self-Propelled Recoilless Rifle in 1960.

By design, the Type 60 SPRR was an eight-ton armored vehicle with two twinned American 106 mm recoilless M40 guns mounted in the right side of the hull in a mobile mounting point. The mounting point had two possible positions. In the lower position, which was usually used when traveling, the guns had very limited vertical and horizontal aiming angles. In the extended upper position, which was the primary battle position, the guns could rotate and drop significantly better, which made them far easier to aim. For precise aiming, a high-caliber M80 machine gun was attached firmly above each gun. This machine gun’s shots had the same ballistic trajectory as those of the 106 mm gun
