wells were originally sunk around 1757 and had chalybeate properties. The wells became a very popular resort for taking "the waters" and for tea drinking, where the fashionable of London were wont to gather. Tea drinking eventually fell out of fashion and the spa fell into decline the site being sold off in the mid 19th century. A plaque of a man's head in the wall between 63 and 65 King's Cross Road now marks the position of the garden entrance to the spa, which originally extended to the junction of Pakenham Street.

Black Mary Well - Farringdon Road (TQ 3101 8254)

There are different suggestions for the origin of this strange name. Perhaps the most plausible is that the wellwas once owned by the Benedictine nuns of St Mary's, Clerkenwell. They were called black nuns because of the colour of their habit and thus the well could have belonged to 'Black Mary's'. The well is close to but quite separate from the Bagnigge wells. Its position now lies on a small piece of garden in front of some Council flats at the junction of Lloyd Bakery Street and Margery Street, although all trace has disappeared. The last reference to it in Cromwell's History of Clerkenwell stated:

"Beneath the front garden of a house in Spring Place and extending under the froot pavement almost to the Pantheon Gate lies the capacious receptacle of a mineral spring, which in former times was in considerable repute, both as a chalybeate, and


for its supposed efficacy in the cure of sore eyes. When Spring Place was erected (c. 1815) the builder ..converted the receptacle beneath into a cesspool for the drainage of his houses. "

St Blaise's Well - Bromley (TQ 4080 6911)

A chalybeate spring in the grounds of the Bishop of Rochester's Palace. This well still exists as a pump that feeds the adjoining lake.

Caesar's Well - Wimbledon (TQ 2236 7151)

The well is part of an issuing spring that lies close to Caesar's camp on Wimbledon Common

St Chad's Well - St Chad's Place (TQ 3050 8295)

A once well known medicinal well that disappeared with the development of the Metropolitan railway line.
St Chad's Well is thought to be of very ancient origin, and was one of the most important of themany wells in London.

Camberwell (TQ 3332 7609)

This ancient well, which gave its name to this district of London, was re-discovered in 2009. (See references below).

Kilburn Well - Kilburn High Street (TQ 2546 8368)

Close to the site of the old Kilburn Priory. Now under the site of a health food shop.
A plaque in the wall of the shop honours the site of the well as does a more recent pavement plaque.

Lady Well - Ladywell Road, Lewisham (TQ 3774 7486)

The Lady Well was close to Ladywell Road, west of the river Ravensbourne.
It had probably been a holy well dedicated, like the nearby church, to St Mary the Virgin.
The first known record of it dates from 1592. It supplied water to the nearby dwellings until the building of a sewer in
Ladywell


Road in 1855 caused it to run dry.

Mus-Well - Muswell Road, NW10 (TQ 2887 9008)

In Sunderland's book 'Old London, Spas, Baths and Wells' Mus-well is given holy well status claiming that it was named after 'Our Lady of Muswell' and there is a legend that a Scottish King had gained a cure when drinking the water. The well has long since disappeared but its original position would have been close to the junction of Muswell Road and Conniston Road. Another well close by was St. Dunstan's Well (TQ 2943 9058), which was well known in the fifteenth century but had almost disappeared by the 1800's. This would have been in the present Alexander Park Road not far from the junction with Talbot Road.

St Pancras Well - St Pancras(TQ 2991 8345)

The exact site of this well has been hard to determine, excepting that it lay to the south and reasonably close to the old St Pancras church. It resided in the garden of the house probably immediately to the south of the churchyard known as Thornley Place (see map). It was described for its healing properties 'in the greatest perfection and highly recommended by the most eminent physicians in the Kingdom'. It now, almost certainly, lies under the new railway development of St. Pancras station.

Powis Well - Guildford Street (TQ 3034 8210)

Shown on Rocques 1747 map. It lies at the rear of the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital. A nearby


street is named after the well.

Rhode's Well - Rhodeswell Road (TQ 3651 8163)

Shown on Rocques Map and Fairburn's map 1801 but positions' vary. Probably accurately shown on Harwood's map, which is now close to Rhodeswell Road.

Rhode's well shown on Harwood's map dated 1800

Shepherd's Well - Fitzjohn's Avenue, Hampstead (TQ 2662 8524)

Shown on George Cruchley's 1835 map. Shepherd's well, also known as The Conduit,
provided a source of good quality soft drinking water for the residents of Hampstead.
The walk to the nearest road meant that well carriers sold water by the pail or two pails because
of the yoke needed for carrying the water. The spring never froze and only vary rarely ran dry. A plaque on the corner of Fitzjohn's Avenue and Lyndhurst Road marks the position of the wellor close to it as its exact position is in the middle of the Road.

Tottenham Wells

A number of wells are recorded in a Tottenham including St. Loy's well (TQ. 3369 9004) [sometimes called St. Eloy's well], which would have been close to the corner of St Loys Road with Morefield Road and Bishop's well (TQ 3294 9128), the latter of which was claimed to have remarkable curative properties (Foord, 1910).

Other Wells

A number of other wells are mentioned in John Stow’s (1525 – 1603) London survey, including, Skinner's well, Fagg's well, Loder's well and Radwell. I have been unable to locate the exact position of any of these wells. Another well Crowder's well, was located near the Barbican and is remembered in the name of a public house there.


A cinema striving to offer an alternative to the homogeneous multiplex experienceCheck out our Google map and flickr group

Every week we invite our readers to tell us about where they go to watch films. This week it's the turn of Dallas King, who blogs about film at Championship Celluloid.

Location

Situated on Belmont Street, one of Aberdeen's trendiest streets and home to more than a dozen bars, restaurants and clubs should you fancy a night out or pub crawl after the movie.

The building

The entrance to the Belmont Picturehouse is akin to the TARDIS. A small, modest display of posters and front door gives way to three-screen cinema and cafe bar housed within this listed building. Originally built as a Trades Hall in 1896, it became the Coliseum Cinema in 1910,watching the latest independent and foreign-language cinema or screenings of cult classics. Being part of the Picturehouse group, it gets the popular documentary and culture shock films, live satellite Q&A's with film-makers as well as the hugely successful Met Opera and NT Live seasons.

Depending on what night you attend, you might simultaneously find live theatre or music being beamed via satellite, a mini Kubrick season taking place, and a lively audience throwing plastic spoons during a showing of cult favourite The Room.

It follows the early retirement of several players due to concussion and has been spearheaded by the AFL Players Association (AFLPA).

The University of Melbourne research will feature 40 young and older former players who have suffered concussions, measuring them against 20 field umpires who have not suffered concussion.

The move represents a shift in the thinking around concussion by the AFL and follows a series of concussion protocols introduced by the code.

"With the brain being knocked time and time again, the movement and the tearing and the shearing leads to nerve cell death and that continual process, as you start to lose more and more neurons, will start to affect mental cognitive issues."

The AFL's decision to fund the research comes in the context of litigation against the NFL in the United States by retired players who allege they have permanent brain injuries as a result of their concussions.

That litigation was inspired by research by Boston University into a controversial condition known as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).

Story highlights Reid was part of a meeting between Menendez and HHS officials about a Medicare dispute

The meeting is part of the bribery case against the New Jersey Democrat

The trial ended its fifth week Wednesday

Newark, New Jersey (CNN) Prosecutors do not plan to call former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as a witness in their case against New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez, a source familiar with the matter tells CNN.

The trial against Menendez ended its fifth week Wednesday as a former Reid aide testified about a 2012 meeting between Menendez, Reid and other federal officials that is a key part of the bribery case against the New Jersey senator.

Kate Leone, a former Reid aide, told jurors there was "confusion" about the purpose of the meeting. At thesame time, there were certain "ground rules" that prohibited Menendez from specifically raising his friend's -- Dr. Salomon Melgen -- ongoing multimillion-dollar dispute with Medicare in the meeting.

Prosecutors have framed the 2012 meeting as an effort by Menendez to advocate on behalf of Melgen, who was facing an $8.9 million repayment demand from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services over his billing practice for the eye drug, Lucentis. Prosecutors say Menendez accepted political donations and other perks from Melgen in exchange for the senator's assistance with the dispute -- allegations the two men deny.

Department of Health and Human Services officials "were very clear" that the issue of Melgen's case could not be discussed in the meeting with Reid, Menendez, then-HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and other staffers, and

The Netherlands' approach was more hybrid, with police turning a blind eye to criminal activity behind the scenes.

Colorado - The first US state to legalise cannabis

Colorado decriminalised medical marijuana in 2001 and voted to legalise the drug all together in 2013. The first retail shops opened in January 2014. While the drug is legal, some restrictions remain in place.

Colorado's law states:

You have to be older than 21 to buy, use or possess marijuana

You can only buy it from licensed retailers, who are the


only people who can legally sell it

You can have up to one ounce of marijuana, and can give one ounce to someone, but can't sell it

You can grow up to six plants

You cannot use it in a public place or on federal land, such as a national park

Marijuana sold from retailers has to be sealed and labelled

Given the law change in Colorado is relatively recent, the true effect is yet to be seen. Not only that, but official figures are contradictory, leaving a murky picture of the impact it has had.

A 2015 report by the federal government's Rocky Mountain High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Program, which monitors the Colorado area, found a 32 percent increase in marijuana-related traffic deaths from 2013 to 2014.

"In 2014, when retail2015 National Drug Threat Assessment Summary said while it was too early to determine the impact from legalisation across the four states, the total marijuana seized from the southern border - from Mexico, where most in the US comes from - declined more than 23 percent from 2013 to 2014.

"Cartel intentions and the possible impact of domestic legalisation initiatives are continuing intelligence gaps relative to the levels of Mexican marijuana entering the United States," the report stated.

It argued state legalisation would allow domestic criminal organisations "to cultivate and traffic marijuana with more freedom than in the past".

But counter-arguments to that say that Colorado's decriminalisation will ultimately take the power away from criminal organisations, as buyers will purchase it from licensed retailers and could be prosecuted if they buy

Leading members of Congress are urging the Trump administration to pressure world leaders to ban Iran from accessing international financial systems following revelations the former Obama administration secretly helped Tehran skirt international sanctions to potentially access billions in hard currency, according to a letter sent Thursday to the Treasury Departments.

Sen. Rob Portman (R., Ohio) and Rep. Ed Royce (R., Calif.) are petitioning the Trump administration to urge members of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), an international organization formed to combat money laundering, to put Iran back on its blacklist as a result of the country’s ongoing support for terrorism.

Iran was taken off the FATF blacklist as part of a package of incentives provided by the Obama administration to Iran in order to help pave the way forthe landmark nuclear deal killed by President Trump earlier this year.

Lawmakers are demanding that Iran be put back on FATF's blacklist as a result of its continued money laundering efforts and financial support to terror groups across the Middle East, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and other militants operating in the region.

Portman and Royce—chair of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations and chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, respectively—say that recent revelations from a congressional investigation into the Obama administration’s secret diplomacy on Iran's behalf make it all the more important for the current administration to take concrete action against Iran’s terror support networks.

FATF members will meet next week in Paris, where the lawmakers hope to see this issue raised by the Trump administration.

"This upcoming FATF session is particularly


important following the recent release of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations' report exposing new details about the previous administration's efforts to give Iran access to the U.S. financial system, including through consideration of a general license for the ‘conversion of two non-USD currencies through the limited use of the USD as an intermediate currency,'" the lawmakers write in the letter, which was sent to Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.

"In the push to save its deeply flawed nuclear deal, the Obama administration unwisely backed a wide range of economic relief for Iran—including through the FATF," the lawmakers note. "In June 2016, the administration supported the FATF’s decision to suspend ‘counter-measures' against Iran for one year, following Tehran's submission of an Action Plan to the FATF to address deficiencies inits anti-money laundering/counter-terrorist financing policies."

Restrictions on Iran are still being lifted every six months by FATF, despite Trump's decision to abandon the deal and pursue tough new sanctions on Tehran. The lawmakers argue that Iran must be placed back on FATF’s blacklist due to its increasing support for terror groups.

"For the last two years, the FATF has continued to suspend these countermeasures at six-month intervals, despite the continued dangerous and belligerent actions of the Iranian regime," the lawmakers write. "Many reports have indicated the regime in Tehran actually increased financial support for its terror proxies in the wake of the nuclear deal."

Iran has skirted restrictions on terror financing by designating its cash for groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah as "legitimate popular resistance against colonial domination and foreign


occupation," the lawmakers note.

This has allowed "Iran to continue financing terrorist organizations, including Hamas and Hezbollah," according to the letter.

"It's time to recognize that Iran has failed to take the necessary steps—despite its pledges two years ago—to be removed from the list of FATF’s high-risk and non-cooperative jurisdictions," the letter states. "The United States should now utilize its influence within the FATF to reimpose countermeasures against Iran and protect the international financial system."members of the British aristocracy and even the Prince of Wales. Back then it was forbidden by law to play baccarat in England, but the games were going strong despite the rules and there were no investigations bothering the elite.

Sir Arthur William was a shipbuilder and an avid baccarat player and he didn’t miss out on any opportunity to play his favorite game. One evening he was caught cheating by his guests, and eventually they confronted him for removing and adding chips in the game, depending on whether he was winning or losing. Sir William confessed and in exchange of keeping things quiet he agreed not to play baccarat ever again, hoping that the entire incident will blow over eventually.

Unfortunately for him one of the guests must have


talked because in the end everyone knew about his deeds and prominent members of the aristocracy shunned him. Lady Daisy Brooke was Prince of Wales’ mistress and the one that is suspected of spreading the rumors, which explains why Sir Arthur William chose to file a defamation suit. Things quickly spun out of control and the scandal engulfed the Royal family as the Prince was named as a witness in the trial.

He had no choice but to admit the fact that he was playing baccarat despite the law prohibiting this type of gambling and so did other prominent aristocrats. This was not the first time when the Prince of Wales found himself in the witness box testifying, as he had to fend off accusations of adultery 20 yearsof the pliers built with the crimping jaws. Each crimping jaw supports a plurality of halves of nests. The halves of the nests are located one behind another in radial direction from the pivoting axis. Pairs of halves of the nests build a nest, wherein each nest has a contour correlating with the crimped contour of the work piece in a closed state of the crimping pliers. With a pivoting closing movement of the hand levers and the crimping jaws the halves of the nests get closer to each other and finally reach their closing position. According to German patent No. DE 37 08 727 C2, the halves of the nests are directly formed in the crimping jaws. Instead German Patents Nos. DE 197 53 436 C2 and

For these embodiments, the head comprises one fixed crimping jaw and one movable crimping jaw, wherein the movable crimping jaw has a translational degree of freedom versus the fixed crimping jaw along the longitudinal axis of the crimping pliers. Also for these embodiments the crimping jaws each comprise a plurality of halves of nests. Accordingly without any reconstruction or exchange of parts one and the same head might be used for crimping work pieces with different cross-sections and contours. For these embodiments the plurality of halves of the nests are positioned one besides another in transverse direction to thesphere biased by a resting spring. In the operational position the resting sphere engages a resting groove of the inserts.

Instead DE 201 00 031 U1 suggests holding the inserts at the inner sides of the hand levers of the crimping tools and storing the inserts held by the hand levers until an exchange of the inserts for another work piece becomes necessary.

The help that Tome and her husband are receiving is called transitional housing, and it is the predominant type of housing used by homeless service providers in San Diego.

The administration of President Donald Trump is today reported to be considering a plan to detain separated migrant children at Fort Benning, a military base in the state of Georgia.

NBC News was first to report the new concentration camp plans, and cited a Department of Defense source.

"Two sources familiar with a recent meeting on the proposal said the children would be housed away from the rest of the population but still on base," write Courtney Kube and Julia Ainsley of NBC News:

The Department of Health and Human Services, the agency responsible for sheltering immigrant children who cross the border without their parents, is currently operating near capacity, resulting in a backlog of children staying in overcrowded border stations. No decision has been made yet, but Defense Department spokesmansoil, mean that at long last we are waking up to the true potential of microbial biodiversity, which is the greatest part of all biodiversity.

Thus, despite all the doom and gloom surrounding superbugs and the dearth of new antibiotics, there is now more cause for optimism. This can even be seen in the pages of the world's top science journals as microbiologists urge a return to microbial biodiversity as a primary resource for new medicines and in Rockefeller University's citizen science project, Drugs from Dirt, which aims to source soil samples from across the world for drug discovery.

A surreal wedding

In the village, Samir’s family home is crowded with relatives and neighbours. There are older women in tachleilas and headscarves, and younger ones in modern clothes, their heads uncovered. Young men in jeans and Hawaiian-style shirts, their hair slick with gel, chat with older men, some in threadbare suits, some in shepherd-style robes. There are children running everywhere. It is chaotic. Everyone stares at me, the westerner in their midst – but not with animosity, only friendliness and curiosity.

Dusk is falling when we set off to the wedding Samir had told me we were going to – so I’ve replaced my usual jeans and timberland loafers with a long dress and sandals. The women and children walk together, with half the men ahead, and the

Generosity is deeply embedded in the Tunisian psyche. During my time there I was humbled many times by the kindness shown to me by people who were comparatively poor. Tunisians would think nothing of giving up their dinner to a sudden guest to ensure they did not leave with a bad impression.

After the money announcements, the wedding is coming to its conclusion. The bride is carried by her family to a house at the far side of the clearing and is pushed inside with the groom. After a short while the groom re-emerges and hands a blood-stained rag to the family of the bride whoBorussia Dortmund confirm that star striker Robert Lewandowski will leave the club at the end of the season.

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has confirmed that Robert Lewandowski will leave the club in the summer.

Lewandowski has been linked with a January move to Juventus and a host of Premier League clubs but Zorc has denied reports that the Polish forward may leave in January.

He told Spox: "As it stands there is neither a request nor a formal offer for Robert Lewandowski, so how could we have possibly rejected anything?

"We do not know where he will go but the departure of Robert Lewandowski end of the season is a done deal."

The 24-year-old has refused Dortmund's offer of a new contract in an effort to force through a transfer when


Poet Gillan wins prestigious award

Maria Mazziotti Gillan, who directs the creative writing program at Binghamton, received the 2011 Barnes & Noble Writers for Writers Award. The professor of English, general literature and rhetoric was joined by fellow award-winners John Grisham and Elizabeth Nunez at a dinner put on by Poets & Writers on March 2.

The Writers for Writers Award was established by Poets & Writers in 1996 to recognize authors who have given generously to other writers or to the broader literary community.

Gillan has published 12 books of poetry; her most recent is What We Pass On: Collected Poems 1980–2009 (Guernica Editions, 2010).reform, which was important because the Lib Dem manifesto is decided there, which meant that the campaign now had the formal backing of one of the major parties.

I also remember in February 2010 when the culture media and sport select committee released its report on "Press Standards, Privacy and Libel" and the words of committee chairman John Wittingdale:

"It is a humiliation that US legislators have felt it necessary to take steps to protect freedom of speech from what are seen as unreasonable incursions by our courts and we believe the government should address this as a matter of urgency."

On 23 March, the campaign organised a mass lobby of parliament, where hundreds of supporters met their MPs and then waited to hear from party spokesmen, including the lord chancellor,


Jack Straw. Perhaps I was already quite emotional, having just become a father for the first time just three days earlier, but I struggled to speak after it became clear that all three parties were committing themselves to libel reform.

This support became concrete under the coalition government when Lord Lester put forward a private members' defamation bill and Lord McNally, the new justice minster, embraced it after its second reading in the House of Lords.

So, was Clegg's speech as momentous as the Lib Dem conference vote in 2009, or the Mass Lobby in March 2010, or Lord McNally's commitment in the summer? The simply answer has to be "yes".

In just a few minutes, the deputy prime minister highlighted all the key areas of libel that need to beGuillory Reacts to Dist. 34 Race Outcome

One of the most anticipated runoffs in Saturday's election was between Tony Guillory and A.B. Franklin for the District 34 Representative seat to replace Elcie Guillory who is terming out this year.

The October primary was extremely close - Franklin led Guillory by one percent, with 23 percent of the votes. Saturday night's results landed Franklin as the next representative for District 34 with 58 percent of the vote, compared to Guillory's 42 percent.

While Guillory's run for the representative seat is over, he says his political career is not and that he might "be knocking on your door in the near future," says Guillory.

Guillory thanked his wide support base, including his mother, Theresa who says she is extremely proud of the effort her


son put forth. At Guillory's campaign headquarters on Opelousas Street in Lake Charles, his supporters cheered him on victoriously in spite of his loss and they said the future for this man they have stood by through the campaign is bright.

For the past four years, Guillory has served as a Calcasieu Parish Police Juror - a seat that he will leave in December. Guillory says he will continue to be active in the community and he also plans to make calls to political leaders in Baton Rouge to work hand-in-hand with the newly elected Franklin.

In late January of 1970, officials of the VA in Washington learned that Beeson had been investigated by the FBI and would probably be indicted on criminal charges.  The investigation concerned activities that Beeson had been engaged in prior to his appointment to the VA.2  This information was relayed to the VA's Regional Director in Little Rock, who was told that he must give Beeson the option of either resigning or "facing the termination of his assignment."  The Regional Director imposed this dilemma on Beeson on January 29, 1970.  Beeson requested and was granted the rest of the day off to consider his options.

Count I alleges a cause of action directly under the Fifth Amendment: Beeson claims that he had a property interest in his continued employment, and that his resignation was a "constructive discharge" that deprived him of this property interest without due process of law-without, in particular, the process due him under 5 C.F.R. § 315.805.

At a recent panel at the Doyenne Residency , a day-long education and advocacy summit for women, Shaw estimated that her clients made about 30% more this pilot season than in the previous year.

That was in part due to a change in California laws that now prohibits employers from asking job applicants about their prior salary, she said. Fear of negative press also may have played a part.

Archibald Joseph (A.J.) Cronin was a Scottish author and physician born in 1896. He is known for such popular works as The Citadel, The Stars Look Down, and The Keys of the Kingdom. The Citadel inspired social change in the United Kingdom by helping to promote conversations about ethics in medicine and paved the way for the eventual formation of the National Health Service. His novels and novellas have been widely adapted for radio, film, and television, including the Oscar-nominated 1938 film The Citadel starring Robert Donat, Rosalind Russell, Ralph Richardson, and Rex Harrison, and the long-running BBC radio drama Country Doctor.Called "uncannily like Dickens" by The New York Times, Cronin received his medical degree from Glasgow University in 1925 and was appointed Medical Inspector of Mines


for Great Britain in 1925. During this tenure, Cronin inspected mining outfits across South Wales, an experience that would heavily influence his writing career. Although Cronin went on to practice medicine in both Glasgow and London, his first novel, written in 1931 and titled Hatter’s Castle, became a bestseller in England, after which he devoted his time entirely to writing. He continued to enjoy widespread success as a novelist into the 1940s and 1950s, with many of his novels becoming bestsellers. By the late ’50s, Cronin’s total sales in the U.S. had passed seven million, and his works had been widely translated across the globe. Cronin is still considered one of the English-speaking world’s most successful and appreciated authors. Cronin continued to write into his eighties, and passedaway at the age of 84 in Montreux, Switzerland in 1981.

The Keys of the Kingdom

The Keys of the Kingdom tells the story of a man with great courage and conviction, a man unafraid to stand up for what is right.

Francis Chisholm—a kindhearted and straightforward Scottish priest—walks a path all his own, making him unpopular with other members of the clergy. Ostracized by the clerical community and looked down on by his superiors, Chisholm takes a position in China where he supervises a mission beset by poverty, civil war, and plague. He encounters fierce resistance from the local Chinese who distrust his motives,especially as they do not understand or condone his faith. Despite enormous obstacles and temptations, Father Chisholm continues to live in accordance with what he holds as the ultimate truth—serving humanity is the one true religion of the world.

The Keys of the Kingdom was adapted into the 1944 film starring Gregory Peck as Father Francis Chisholm, a role for which he earned his first Best Actor Oscar Nomination.

Hailed as "a magnificent story of the great adventure of individual goodness" byThe New York Times Book Review and "full of life and people and color" byHarper’s Magazine, The Keys of the Kingdom is considered by many to be A.J. Cronin’s finest work.

Asengaging in wishful thinking; the editor is trying to convince himself that Rabbi Gold is just saying that "whether accepting Rashi's pshat or preferring another, Rashi must always be approached with reverence." Nobody would have disputed Rabbi Gold's article if that was all he had said. But he made several much more extreme claims.

1. Rashi and science

Rabbi Gold claims that we cannot challenge Rashi's scientific pronouncements. In support of this, he cites a silly article from Dialogue (which I shall be posting about shortly) about the unreliability of modern science and a largely irrelevant Midrash about one of the Tanna'im deriving scientific information from Torah (which is countered by many other sugyos about Chazal not being able to do so).

In response to this, I would point out that


not argue on the Sages of the Mishna, which is mentioned by the Kesef Mishneh, is only regarding the formal halacha but not regarding content and rationale. The amoraim frequently add svaros (rationales) and derashos (homiletics) to the teachings of the tannaim, and similarly they can argue with the legalistic logic applied by the tannaim. The amora is thus bound by the formal teaching of the Mishna, which he cannot dismiss completely. In case he disagrees with the tannaitic rationale (which he is allowed to) he may accept the ruling of the Mishna in a very specific case, and maintain his own ruling as the principle. As with the biblical covenant regarding mitzvos derabanan, which differentiated between biblical and rabbinic law, so too here the kabalah extends onlyas far as the terms of the original agreement, namely the formal acceptance of the final rulings of the tannaim."

Thursday, March 1, 2012

This is the final part of my response to Rabbi Bleich's article in Tradition regarding spontaneous generation.

At the very beginning of his article, Rabbi Bleich insists that any and all approaches to the issue of Chazal vs. science are irrelevant to the case of Anisakis, since Anisakis worms are demonstrably spawned outside fish and swallowed by them, and are thus clearly not the subject of Chazal's permissive ruling. At the very end of his article, Rabbi Bleich reiterates this claim, and then addresses the objection to it which I presented in my letter: If Chazal were not describing the Anisakis, what were they describing?

Remember back when Donald Trump was just getting elected and people worried about "normalizing" him and the "extinction-level threat" he posed not just to the United States but the whole of Western civilization? The rude and often disgusting ways he vilified people (especially women), his proud ignorance of basic elements of American governance and policymaking, his calls for violence against hecklers at his rallies—all this and more marked Trump as a break with recent precedent.

Two years into his presidency and about 46 percent of Americans have indeed normalized Trump. That's where his approval rating has settled in a new NBC/Wall Street Journal poll.

Herbert Homovich was a Comanche Indian.  He owned trust and restricted property appraised at some $162,000.  On June 4, 1947, he went to an office of the United States Indian Service to make a will.  An employee of that Service assisted him.  He used a printed form prepared and published by the Department of the Interior for that purpose.1  He left the property to various collateral relatives and stated that the reason for omitting his mother, two sisters, and a brother was 'that they are cared for financially from other sources.'  Thewill was duly signed and witnessed.  On April 10, 1948, he married the present appellant, Neoma Homovich.  On September 30, 1948, without changing or revoking his will, he died without issue.  His sole and only heirs at law were his mother and appellant.  On April 6, 1949, after a hearing and compliance otherwise with applicable Departmental regulations, the Secretary of the Interior, acting through his duly authorized representatives, approved the will and ordered that distribution of the estate be made in accordance therewith.

2
The present appellant thereupon brought an action in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, asking that the Secretary's order be set aside.  Both parties and intervenors filed motions for summary judgment.  The court granted the motions


'Regulations Relating to the Determination of Heirs and Approval of Wills Except Members of the Five Civilized Tribes and Osage Indians.'  In those Regulations he dealt with the form and execution of wills as part of the provisions for his approval of them.  In one of the ten sections which related to 'Approval of Wills', the Regulations contained this sentence: 'When the will is prepared by the superintendent or examiner of inheritance or other employee of the Indian Service it shall be prepared on the printed form furnished by the Indian Office.'

6
On May 29, 1947, a few days before Homovich executed his will, the Secretary promulgated a new set of Regulations, entitled exactly as were the old ones.  The old Regulations were revoked, and newin the supplemental circular because the Solicitor for the Department thought that the original draft of the new Regulations, which had contained those provisions, was too detailed and too voluminous.  He accordingly prepared a revised draft, omitting the details and suggesting that they be incorporated in instructions to be issued by the Commissioner.

7
Appellant's contention is that, since there were, on the day when Homovich executed his will, no existing 'regulations' prescribing the form and execution of wills, the will was invalid.  That contention cannot be sustained.  This will was approved by the Secretary, and the proceeding for its approval was in accord with the regulations which existed at the time of its execution.  The will was on a form prepared and published by the


to confer rights on the Indians, cannot be so narrowly construed.

8
Appellant's next contention is that the will, being invalid when it was executed, was not made valid by the Secretary's approval.  We have already indicated that we are of opinion that the will was not invalid when executed.  Moreover, the nature of the invalidity claimed by the appellant must be noted in this connection.  This will was, as the Secretary says, probably valid as a will in any jurisdiction in this country.  Admittedly the testator was of sound mind.  No fraud or improper influence was involved.  The will is perfectly clear on its face and was duly signed and published by the testator in the presence of two witnesses who signed in(Kansas City, Kan., Feb. 3, 2012) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency today announced that the City of Dallas Center, Iowa, will receive technical assistance through the Building Blocks for Sustainable Communities program.

Last week's post talked about this a bit, so I won't go into detail about the possible roles Perrin will have. Suffice to say, he has to be there. And if he's taking part in the battle, there is a chance he won't survive.

However, it's pretty simple to determine that Perrin will survive. In The Eye of the World, Min had a viewing about him:

The Eye of the WorldChapter 15, "Strangers and Friends"

"The strongest things I see about the big, curlyhaired fellow are a wolf, and a broken crown, and trees flowering all around him."

Tenobia, Shield of the North and Sword of the Blightborder, is the current bearer of the Broken Crown, but there's foreshadowing that


an agreement, naming him Steward of the Two Rivers, and saying they will encourage their children to wed (Towers of Midnight, Chapter 47, "A Teaching Chamber"). In Aviendha's second trip through the glass-column ter'angreal, she sees her grandchild, Oncala, and Elayne's grandchild, Talana. If Perrin's and Elayne's children marry, Talana could be Perrin's grandchild as well. I think that would explain the "not very pretty, but very regal" (Towers of Midnight, Chapter 49, "Court of the Sun") comment by Oncala. The mix of Two Rivers blood and Saldaean blood in one of Talana's parents, and Aiel and Andoran in the other, will probably equal something that's not very pretty.

So, Perrin must survive to get the Broken Crown and to father the child who becomes the parent of Talana.

Now,of it""To her eyes a crown suddenly appeared on Darlin's head"

On the other hand, in TEOTW she mentioned the laurel crown as one of the images around Rand, not describing it on his head. But it was in a laundry list of images the first time they met, so its hard to say if she was being literal or just talking in passing. They werent diagnosis her visions as she later would in conversations.

@mashiara,
i studied laws of succession in some of the oldest and currently existing
monarchies, e.g. japan,uk and denmark, the spouse of the reigning
monarch is never a ruler,just a person with a fancy title.
the wife of the emperor of japan is an empress consort,and the husbands of
queen elizabeth and queen margaret are princes consorts.
well,i understand that things

Published : Oct 14, 2011Mixed Media: How Documentary God Knows Where I Am Used 35mm, 16mm, Super-16 and Digital For Its Haunting Story

When Linda Bishop’s body was found in an empty farmhouse in New Hampshire, her death seemed pointless and puzzling. Then officials read her diary, which was lying next to her body.

The writing revealed the mental degradation that led the middle-aged woman to the house, where she waited alone for almost four freezing winter months, eating apples from a nearby tree as her only sustenance. Our documentary God Knows Where I Am explores her life and death, interviewing Linda’s family and the people around her, and asking how America’s mental health system ultimately let her down.

We shot the film in a range of different formats—35mm, 16mm, Super-16mm and digital—on a range


form. Often in documentary filmmaking, content becomes the primary focus, but we wanted to make a theatrical documentary that could be projected and experienced in a movie theater, and stand on its own as an artistic film. This was particularly important given the subject matter, as Linda was a highly artistic person and experienced the world around her while she lived in that farmhouse in a very visual way.

In creating the film together with our cinematographer Gerardo Puglia, we were very conscious of exploring the visual medium in a purposeful manner. We chose to use film as well as digital video. Gerardo had worked as a DP for Eastman Kodak, and was quite well acquainted with the qualities of individual film stock and cameras. Gerardo also had numerouscreative friendships with master cinematographers like Gordon Willis, Vittorio Storaro, Haskell Wexler and Roger Deakins, and brought a wealth of experience to the project. Wexler once wrote to Gerardo that the only way to get better as a cinematographer was to find better things to shoot and try to find more beauty in the world around us. Storaro taught Gerardo to train his eye in the subtlety of colors and learn how hue can inform mood, and also how to move the camera in a very subtle way, making the camera a principal character in the film. Deakins is a master at diffusing light and using the crane to float a camera in space. Willis was always taking risks when he shot with underexposure, to explore darkness in


capable of focusing down close and also wide, and was a particularly sharp lens for the Super-16 format. Interestingly, the Aaton XTR Prod was originally designed in France for documentary filmmaking, and could sit comfortably on your shoulder.

Shooting with Super-16mm Film

Linda’s diary is filled with references to food, and abounds with recipes of meals she hoped to cook. In an abandoned farmhouse and deprived of iPhones, the internet and electricity, Linda would not be looking at hyper-real or current internet based images of food, but instead seeing old advertisements of food and images in her mind’s eye from her memory of food. As she hid in the farmhouse attic, avoiding being seen by neighbors, Linda found magazines from the 1970s, many of which contained food advertisements. Those adsas the previous GoPro models and the Hero4 Black. The only difference is that the Hero4 Silver has a built-in touch screen.

The GoPro Hero4 Silver also fits into the same waterproof housings and mounts. Despite having a built-in touch screen, the thickness of the camera is exactly the same as the Black version.

The built-in touch screen is an amazing addition to the camera. It allows you to easily change all of the camera settings and view photos or videos.

Like the Black version, the camera status and WiFi lights are now two small slits on the left of the LED screen, infront of the camera.

Both of the Hero4 versions have a new battery design. It is no longer accessible from the back but instead from the bottom. Eventough this

After restricting England to 198, Indian batsmen pile on runs after runs on Day 2 of the second Test, reports Rohit Mahajan.

The first ball after tea on the second day of the second Test, Monty Panesar struck — trying to flick the ball, Dinesh Karthik edged it to his pad. Alastair Cook, at short leg, dived a full body length to his left and caught the ball. Panesar ran amok, and Karthik refused to budge, stunned by the suddenness of his end, but had to walk.

That brought in Sachin Tendulkar to join Rahul Dravid — both were on zero, for Wasim Jaffer had departed just minutes before tea. The pitch had seemed docile, the bowlers innocuous till they sent the openers back, though Panesar


had two good appeals against Jaffer and Karthik.

But now, two wickets had changed the game, in the mind at least.

On the face of it, India were still ahead — at 149 for two, they were just 49 short of the England total, with much batting to come.

Buoyed by the two wickets, England, though, suddenly raised the game, and then began the most thrilling part of the day's cricket. For 42 overs they had struggled for a wicket, and their desperation mounted with the Indian score. Ryan Sidebottom and James Anderson became more and more chirpy — unable to bowl successfully at the stumps, they began to direct volleys at the batsmen's bodies. Then in a space of three overs, they got two wickets, and the game became lessunequal.

In the stands, their spirits raised by the wickets — incidentally, the stand closest to the tavern was the noisiest — England's supports sang and danced, greeting each false stroke or appeal with a massive roar.

With fielders crowding the batsmen, and the bowlers coming in with renewed vigour, it was a nervous time for Dravid and Tendulkar to begin with. There were a couple of maiden overs, and runs came in a trickle. Dravid then began to open up, and Tendulkar followed suit.

Dravid hit Panesar for a lovely four behind point, and then gave the same treatment to Anderson. Runs began to flow again, India were beginning to close in on England.

Then, in the 54th over, bowled by Anderson, the stands erupted — Tendulkar had been struck on


his helmet grille. He could not evade one that kept coming on to him. The battle was on in earnest, and Anderson followed it up with another bouncer.

In Anderson's next over, Tendulkar got back when he cut deliberately over the slips, and Dravid added to the punishment with two fours.

The shackles had been cast off, and India were up and away. Tendulkar was timing the ball well and finding the boundaries, one of which took him past 11,000 runs in Test cricket — just another milestone in a journey filled with fantastic records.

It was anti-climactic when Dravid went — just reaching out to jab Panesar, he lobbed the ball and Ian Bell dived to complete the catch.

Earlier, on a bright Saturday morning, as the pitch dried and theconditions eased, India took control of the Test.

Apart from the freakish shower that lasted seconds on Friday, it hadn't rained here for 20 hours — and the change from Friday was marked.

The ball wasn't swinging as much, the movement off the pitch was visibly diminished — the game had changed. The batsmen could stand up and drive through the line when the ball was pitched up.

The Indian openers were troubled only by balls that came in and straightened — or by the ones that rose outside off stump as they tried to drive. With the pitch drying, the bounce became pronounced, making it imperative for the bowlers to pitch it up to get lbws. And that was playing right into the hands of Karthik and Jaffer. Karthik, as


always, was more aggressive at the start, while Jaffer scored his first run off the 11th ball he faced. By then, Karthik had raced to 15.

The openers completed their second half-centuries and England's troubles increased.

Sidebottom, in altered conditions, was a different bowler altogether — there was no serious appeal against the Indians the whole morning. Anderson was ineffective for the most, and though the ball beat the bat several times, there were no real chances.

There was a chance off Chris Tremlett when Jaffer drove him to the left of Ian Bell at gully — Bell flew to his left and got his hand to the ball but it spilled out.

Government withholding

The Tax Increase Prevention and Reconciliation Act of 2005 (2005 Tax Act) created a new withholding requirement for government agencies.


The federal government, and every state and local government, would be required to withhold income tax at the rate of three percent on certain payments to persons providing any property or services. Some payments, such as payments of interest, were exempt.

The government withholding requirement was originally scheduled to apply to payments made after December 31, 2010. Congress delayed the effective date to payments made after December 31, 2011. The IRS issued final regulations in 2011, further delaying the effective date to payments made after December 31, 2012.

Since passage of the 2005 Tax Act, momentum for the repeal of withholding on government contractors has grown. The Senate approved the 3% Repeal Act unanimously on November 10, and the House voted 422–0 in favor of the bill on November 16.barge was considered placed in service in the year it was acquired, even though it could not be actually used because the body of water was frozen.

As a result of recent changes in the law, many brokerage customers will begin seeing something new when they gaze upon their 1099-B forms early next year. In the past, of course, brokers were required to report to their clients, and the IRS, those amounts reflecting the gross proceeds of any securities sales taking place during the preceding calendar year.

In keeping with a broader move toward greater information reporting requirements, however, new tax legislation now makes it incumbent upon brokers to providelegislation include virtually every conceivable financial instrument subject to a basis calculation, including stock in a corporation, which become "covered" securities when acquired after a certain date. In the case of corporate stock, for example, the applicability date is January 1, 2011, unless the stock is in a mutual fund or is acquired in connection with a dividend reinvestment program (DRP), in which case the applicable date is January 1, 2012. The applicable date for all other securities is January 1, 2013.

Short Sales

In the past, brokers reported the gross proceeds of short sales in the year in which the short position was opened. The amendments, however, require that brokers report short sales for the year in which the short sale is closed.

Animal parentage identification
Bowling developed some of the first blood typing and DNA parentage tests for horses, and became a genetics consultant to several horse breed registries, including The Jockey Club, Arabian Horse Association (originally Arabian Horse Registry of America), American Quarter Horse Association, and the American Morgan Horse Association. Beginning in 1976, she published research on animal blood types, and developed tests using blood type to establish parentage. She advocated for adopting blood typing for parentage verification of registered animals. Numerous breed registries did so.  In the course of this research, she also studied the phenomenon of chimerism, which sometimes created inconsistent results in parentage testing.

By the late 1990s, as the science of parentage testing evolved, she researched the effectiveness of DNA typing and concluded that

Samples taken of the Jerusalem tomb where Jesus Christ reportedly was buried after his crucifixion are more than 1,700 years old, dating it back to the imperial Roman era, according to new test results that bring scientists a step closer to determining whether Jesus was actually laid to rest at the site.

The tomb is located in one of the world’s holiest sites for Christians, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem’s Old City.

"It marks the site of the crucifixion, the burial and the resurrection of Jesus Christ according to Christiantradition," said Kristen Romey, archaeology editor for National Geographic.

Scientists opened the tomb for the first time in centuries in October 2016 when a team from the National Technical University of Athens conducted a restoration effort on the shrine that enclosed the tomb.

Pieces of mortar taken from the original limestone burial bed and a marble slab that covers it date back to AD 345, according to test results provided to National Geographic and featured in the magazine’s December issue.

The age of the tomb is based on samples taken by scientists in October 2016. TODAY

“We finally have scientific proof that this site, the tomb of Jesus Christ, one of the holiest sites in Christianity, has been unbroken for seventeen hundred years,” Romey said.

Violent attacks, fires and earthquakes have damaged both


the tomb and the church over the centuries. The church was completely demolished about a thousand years ago, but subsequently rebuilt. That led modern scholars to speculate whether the site worshipped today as the tomb of Jesus Christ could possibly be the very same location that the Romans identified some 17 centuries ago.

Although it’s “archaeologically impossible to say that the tomb is the burial site of an individual Jew known as Jesus of Nazareth,” Romey said new dating results put the original construction of today's tomb complex securely in the time of Constantine, Rome's first Christian emperor.
