over the years. Highly deserving of a remix, the tune introduces the new album splendidly.

AWAY IN THE DISTANCEOriginally written many years ago, Patrick first introduced this song about city life prior to the band's headlining appearance at the Vienna Folk Festival in Austria in 2008.Since this time the song has become a very popular part of the acoustic set and due to interest in this tune the chaps now perform an extended version with a brand new third verse.

ANGELStage favourite and popular local radio tune which regularly appears towards the end of an acoustic soiree. First appeared on the Seven Seas album and reflects Patrick's thoughts about guardian angels. This is the latest updated and extended version of the song reflecting how the piece has developed as aa good example of one of them with Paul giving it his all on his mandolin.

PAULS TUNEOne of several instrumental pieces featuring the violin performed regularly within the acoustic set and significant as this piece has been written by Paul who lends his name to the title.

EVERY MANS AN ISLANDAnother of Patrick.s songs from way back when which has recently reappeared in live sets. Lyrically appropriate for the modern age lamenting the loss of so many things in favour of greed, envy and half truths.

SANDS OF TIMETraditional celtic tune which was a very popular piece in many of the Originally released as the title track of Patrick.s second album back in 1995. Now remixed for a new outing on this album. Tells the story of a derelict old


house by the seaside that eventually one day does get bought, spruced up and lived in.

TINKERS TALE/MAYFLY AND OLD TOADTwo instrumental pieces for the price of one. Jethro Tull leanings abound in both tracks which reflect the countryside of yesterday. Peter keeps things busy fluting away in true Ian Anderson style.

OH LAURAA very personal song from the heart written by David exploring the relationship he had for many years with his daughter Laura.

CARRON LOUGH BAYTraditional celtic tune which was a very popular piece in many of the band.s early acoustic performances. Deserving of a studio release for all kinds of reasons.

THE HUNTSMANS DAUGHTERFeaturing our ex flautist and wild front man Ben Daglish on whistles, this folk rock instrumental was played extensively in Tull tribute shows during 2004/2005. Thisis a remix of the track that appeared on the Sports in Perfect Harmony album during 2004 and highlights just how a whistle should be played.

FALLING FROM GRACE AGAINOne of David.s songs which was originally recorded on the Cold Flame mobile. As with many of his compositions, rather a personal and poignant observation of life as seen through his eyes.

ROLLBACKSimple little acoustic tune with a catchy chorus and a haunting and evocative riff . A song all about childhood memories .Growing up at a time when most people took photographs and transferred them onto slides for family get togethers throughout the year but especially during dark , cold winter months where the focus always carried to the big wide projector screen . Originally released on the Seven Seas


album back in 2003, this is a brand new version of the tune.

AIRS OF ARGYLLDavid.s take on Scottish/ celtic music resulted in this quirky short instrumental.

LIVING IS FOR LOVINGVindaloo folk rock from the band. A blues tune that originally appeared on the On Thin Ice album completely reworked to suit the folk rock approach of the acoustic line up. Despite being toned down a tad it still zooms along at a rate of knots. Simple point being made lyrically . life is too short so get out there and enjoy it.

ELVENOne of those instrumental pieces that started out as something else and developed in a different direction. Refined in rehearsals by Patrick and Peter. Nice way to complete the album.DreMurrayVEVO 5 814 просмотров.

Frederick Douglass, who experienced the worst prejudices that ever existed in this country, detected no racist cast of mind or character when he met Lincoln in the White House:

The room bore the marks of business, and the persons in it, the President included, appeared to be much over-worked and tired. Long lines of care were already deeply written on Mr. Lincoln’s brow, and his strong face, full of earnestness, lighted up as soon as my name was mentioned. As I approached and was introduced to him he arose and extended his hand, and bade me welcome. I at once felt myself in the presence of an honest man—one whom I could love, honor, and

the heart
of Bhopal, amidst a large slum colony enveloping it’s periphery. Over 500,000 people were exposed to
methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas and other chemicals as the toxic substance made its
way in and around the shanty towns located near the plant.

Debt-ridden
rickshaw puller Dilip (Rajpal Yadav) is eager to find work at Carbide. Financial relief is not all he is seeking
though. A job with the town's flagship employer bestows a certain
respectability that will potentially improve his sister's marriage prospects.
The freak accidental death of a worker in the factory , who also happens to be
his neighbor and good friend, creates an opportunity, and Dilip steps into the
vacancy despite his lack of experience and training.

Meanwhile, the same accident prompts local
newsmonger Motwani (Kal Penn) to investigate the company's chemical products
and safety precautions. During avisit by Chief Executive Warren Anderson
(Martin Sheen), Motwani manages to persuade ‘Paris Match’ journalist Eva
(Mischa Barton) to wrangle an interview with the CEO. But the revelations are
not enough to create enough of a furor over mismanagement and negligence.

Ravi Kumar’s film based
on the true events that lead up to that humungous tragedy tries hard to capture
the realities of the perils that emanated majorly from neglect, sheer
callousness for human life and greed for profit at any cost. But the end result
seems to be far removed from the initial intent. As the tragedy plays out,
leading up to the unforgettable events of
the night of 2–3 December
1984 at the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticide plant in Bhopal,
Madhya Pradesh, the filmmaker appears to shift sights midstream in an effort to
minimize blame tragedy onto


the Indian technicians involved in the running of
the plant. Over 500,000 people were exposed to methyl isocyanate (MIC) gas as
the toxic substance made its way in and around the shanty towns located near
the plant.

"Bhopal: A Prayer for Rain" sets it’s sights on being a
historical-drama but it’s efforts to showcase the shocking events that led to the tragedy appear less than
gritty and realistic- mainly because the narrative prefers to sit on the fence
and the overall performances are not of
a very high quality. While focusing largely on
the negligence and ineptitude of the mostly inexperienced and
underqualified technical crew in the plant the film seeks to draw the ire away
from the CEO’s own culpability in the matter of administrative accountability.

By and large the tragedy has been captured quite effectively, serving as a
reasonably1. Field of Invention
The invention relates to an exhaust emission control apparatus and a control method of an internal combustion engine.
2. Description of Related Art
There is a known internal combustion engine for combustion of fuel at a lean air/fuel ratio having a NOX catalyst disposed within an exhaust passage. The NOX catalyst stores NOX contained in exhaust gas flowing into the NOX catalyst at a lean air/fuel ratio, and reduces the stored NOX under the presence of a reducing agent contained in the exhaust gas upon decrease in the air/fuel ratio. The aforementioned internal combustion engine further includes a bypass passage that extends to branch off from the exhaust passage upstream of the NOX catalyst, and a bypass control valve that serves to adjust a flow rate of


the exhaust gas flowing into the bypass passage so as to control the flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing through the NOX catalyst. A reducing agent supply valve through which the reducing agent is supplied to the NOX catalyst is disposed within the exhaust passage between the point where the bypass passage is branched and the NOX catalyst. In the above-structured internal combustion engine, the flow rate of the exhaust gas flowing through the NOX catalyst is temporarily decreased by the bypass control valve, and at the same time, the reducing agent is supplied from the reducing agent supply valve.
The above structure may decrease the quantity of the reduction agent which is required to set the air/fuel ratio of the exhaust gas flowing into the NOX catalyst                         BACKGROUND

       R.H. was born in November 2010, when Melissa was 16 years old and a juvenile

court dependent. In September 2011, the San Diego County Health and Human Services

Agency (the Agency) filed a dependency petition for R.H. The petition, as later

amended, alleged that on September 3, R.H. was exposed to a violent confrontation

between Melissa and maternal great-aunt Maria D. Melissa punched Maria in the face,

knocked a telephone from her hand, pushed her to the floor, kicked her in the stomach

and kicked her in the chest and/or upper thighs. Melissa had threatened Maria and her

minor children. This included a


threat to burn down the house where Maria, her children,

Melissa and R.H. lived.

       R.H. was detained in Polinsky Children's Center and in a foster home. In

November 2011, she was moved to a second foster home. In December, she was moved

to a third foster home. In January 2012, the court made a true finding on the petition,

ordered R.H. placed in foster care and ordered reunification services. In April, Melissa

turned 18 and became a nonminor dependent of the juvenile court. From April to May,

R.H. lived in a respite foster home. In May, she was returned to her third foster home.

        Police say a suspect is dead after he was shot by a woman during an attempted armed robbery in north Phoenix.

Phoenix police say the shooting happened late Tuesday night when the 34-year-old suspect grabbed a woman as she entered her home near the Loop 101 and Seventh Street.

When the woman tried to close the door to her home, the suspect forced his way in and the woman grabbed a handgun and shot the suspect, according to police.

The suspect then fled the scene and was found at a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The woman was not injured during the attempted armed robbery, but according to friends, she is pretty shaken up about the incident. The family of four reportedly did not stay at their home on Wednesday.

Recently, display technologies using various methods such as a plasma display panel (PDP), a liquid crystal display (LCD) and the like that are used instead of a known braun tube in accordance with the development of optical technologies are suggested and sold. The higher properties of the polymer material for displays are required. For example, in the case of the liquid crystal display, according to the development toward the thin film, the lightness, and enlargement of the picture area, the wide viewing angle, the high contrast, the suppression of change in picture color tone according to the viewing angle and the uniformity of the picture display are particularly considered as important problems.
Therefore, various polymer films such as a polarizing film, a polarizer protection film, a retardation film, arequired. In addition, the display device using the liquid crystal requires both the thickness retardation compensation and the in-plane retardation compensation in order to widen the angle view.
Requirement of the retardation compensation film is to easily control the birefringence. However, the film birefringence is formed by a basic birefringence which belongs to the material and the orientation of polymer chains in the film. The orientation of the polymer chains is mostly forcibly performed by force applied from the outside or is caused by the intrinsic properties of the material, and the orientation method of the molecules by the external force is to uniaxially or biaxially stretch the polymer film.
In the related art, there is a need to develop a polymer material that satisfies the above requirement properties in


Officials are investigating a stabbing Wednesday night at an apartment complex in Miami that left three people hospitalized.

It happened around 9:30 p.m. in the area of Biscayne Boulevard and 25th Street, according to the Miami Police Department.

Officials said a group of people were involved in a dispute that escalated quickly, and three men were taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital with apparent stab wounds. All three were in stable condition.

Police haven't released any other details on what led up to the stabbings.

Miami Police Cmdr. Freddie Cruz described the scene as "chaotic," but wouldn't confirm if any knives were found.

"We are reviewing lots of cameras in the area, lots of witnesses," Cruz said. "There was lots of traffic on Biscayne Boulevard."

A friend of one of the victims told reporters atA group of miffed moviegoers in the U.K. have been demanding "ridiculous" refunds after seeing current Oscar frontrunner The Artist. Apparently unaware that the cinematic homage to 1920s Hollywood was a silent film, they complained that there was no sound. Since doling out the first batch of refunds, ushers at Liverpool's Odeon cineplex have been briefing audiences that the film contains no dialogue. "How could you not know it was silent?" asks Jen Chaney at The Washington Post, noting the inescapable media coverage that aspect of The Artist has received. Here, five other (mostly outlandish) beefs refund-seekers lodged at the cineplexes this year:

1. The movie did not sufficiently resemble The Fast and the Furious

A mere refund couldn't placate one Michiganian who was incensed by the well-reviewed romantic thriller


Drive, starring Ryan Gosling as a stuntman who moonlights as a getaway car driver. She filed a lawsuit against the film's distributors, claiming, among other things, that the movie's trailers made it seem like Drive would closely resemble the oft-derided Fast and the Furious series. The frustrated moviegoer detected "very little driving in the motion picture." Easily "the Most Frivolous Lawsuit of 2011," says HyperVocal.

2. It was boring

Tree of Life, Terrence Malick's trippy juxtaposition of modern American life and the dawn of creation famously polarized critics, alternately winning major awards and being snubbed by organizations like the Golden Globes. Moviegoers were similarly split, with unusually high numbers walking out of screenings, bored and confused, and demanding their money back. The exodus led one Connecticut theater to post afilm's star could do better

Larry Crowne, a recession-era romance which Tom Hanks directed and starred in (alongside Julia Roberts) yielded neither box-office success nor critical praise. According to the U.K.'s Guardian, that didn't stop Hanks from asking a couple at a gas station if they'd enjoyed the film. Not particularly, they candidly replied. Gamely, Hanks refunded them the cost of their tickets ($25), quipping, "We'll do a better job next time!" before driving off. Bad idea, says Chaney. "A whole bunch of people who didn't care for Larry Crowne may suddenly be hitting him up for cash."

5. There was a naked man in the theater

The families who filled a Chicago theater to see Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked earlier this year were all issued refund vouchers, though, in


Integrative medicine and asthma.
Childhood asthma is a spectrum of symptoms and clinical presentations. The treatment begins with developing goals of therapy for a child by the health care provider, the family, and the child as a team. The primary objective is to reduce symptoms and exacerbations using therapies that include conventional medications, environmental controls, and lifestyle modification while reducing the potential for adverse effects of medications and the disease. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) may play a role in meeting these objectives, and through the integration of conventional and CAM therapies, an integrative medicine approach may facilitate reaching these objectives in a more effective manner.back to the first port to pick up another cargo. The vessel is equipped with ballast tanks that can be filled with water to maintain the balance of the vessel on an even keel when it travels empty. Conventional ballast tanks include valves usually mounted over apertures through tank bulkheads. The valves are actuated to move water between and into and out of various ballast tanks to trim the vessel when empty of cargo or when carrying an unevenly distributed cargo.
The vessel fills its ballast tanks by taking on sea water, usually at its cargo discharge port. The sea water is charged into the ballast tanks at the same time that the vessel off loads its cargo. The vessel then travels to its cargo loading port where it

Gillan and co-star Arthur Darvill will leave Who midway through the upcoming seventh series.

Commenting on the duo's departure, lead star Matt Smith said: "I miss them. I miss these cats. It's been three years on set. You develop a language with these people.

"It's like two older brothers who bully their sister and I miss being able to bully Karen."

Smith also commented on the future of Steven Moffat as Doctor Who's showrunner, joking: "He's going to do the next 150 years.

"He is the most wonderful man to work for. He loves Doctor Who. He doesn't want to give up any time soon."

When asked by a fan whether there was a chance of Rose Tyler ever returning to the show, he commented: "They tell us things very late. Wetend not to know. But at the moment, we're focused on the fall of the Ponds.

"They are our guys. They're gone. See you later. But I don't know [about Rose]. That would be a Moffat question."

Smith, Darvill and Gillan were all coy on the role of Alex Kingston in the latest series, only admitting that she was "very important" to all the characters.

"We love Alex Kingston. She's the nicest and most flirtatious woman on the planet," joked Smith. "She could flirt with a fish."

The new series of Doctor Who will air in the US and UK in mid-August. Its first screening will be at the London BFI on August 14.

Mike Bacsik, a Dallas native and former big league pitcher for the Indians, Mets, Rangers, and Nationals has been in the Dallas/Ft. Worth sports radio market since 2008. As Mike’s baseball career was coming to a close in 2008, 1310 sports hired him...For more than a year, the leaders entrusted to protect the country and administer justice on behalf of Americans victimized by terrorists instead used their awesome reach against a domestic political rival.

The weekend raid that resulted in the death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was named after Kayla Mueller, an American aid worker killed in Syria in 2015 while being held captive by the sadistic ISIS leader. During his Sunday morning announcement from the White House, President Trump twice invoked Mueller’s name in addition to the names of other Americans murdered under the Islamic State’s ongoing reign of terror. According to reports from some of his escaped victims, Baghdadi took Mueller as his secret bride in 2013. “We were told Kayla was tortured, that she was the property of


As ISIS continued its murderous rampage in the Middle East and parts of Europe that year—including the Bastille Day truck attack in France that killed 86 people and wounded hundreds more—the most powerful intelligence professionals in the United States were surveilling Carter Page and George Papadopoulos.

The Situation in the Situation Room

High-level secret briefings in the White House Situation Room were not centered on potential attacks on the country but on Trump campaign volunteers allegedly in cahoots with the Kremlin to post mean memes on Facebook or release Hillary Clinton’s nonexistent emails in an attempt to “interfere in our election.” Rather than fulfilling Barack Obama’s pledge to Kayla Mueller’s family, the Obama Administration’s hierarchy, including the president, worked overtime to sabotage the Trump campaign, plant damaging stories in thenews media, and plot to undermine his presidency in the event Trump won.

In the months leading up to Election Day, according to a lengthy article published in the Washington Post a few years ago, Obama’s national security chiefs met in the White House on a regular basis ostensibly to counteract Russia’s “election meddling.” The briefings, according to the Post, were so secret that the video feed from the Situation Room was cut off.

“In political terms, Russia’s interference was the crime of the century, an unprecedented and largely successful destabilizing attack on American democracy,” Post reporters and election collusion propagandists Greg Miller, Ellen Nakashima, and Adam Entous reported with much hyperbole in June 2017. Material sourced by Brennan was considered so sensitive that only a few people could handle


Trump from being president. The only mention of the name “Mueller” is Special Counsel Robert Mueller, not the young American woman kidnapped and tortured by one of the most wanted terrorists in the world.

And when the nation’s top intelligence professionals had a chance to meet with the incoming president, they did not brief him on the dangers facing the new administration. (He was looking at them.) Instead, they handed the president-elect a laughable intelligence community “assessment” that claimed Putin tried to hack the election to help Trump win. Comey then warned Trump that the Russians might have a recording of Trump peeing on Muscovite prostitutes in 2013, an outlandish accusation contained in the now-discredited Steele dossier.

For more than a year, the leaders entrusted to protect the country andBOSTON (CBS) — The regular season is winding down for the Boston Bruins, and they’ll likely start resting their veterans ahead of the NHL playoffs.

But while a few veterans could use a breather, Boston would really like to get one of their young players going. Forward Reilly Smith started hot in his first season with the Bruins, scoring nine goals in December alone, but he has just one goal in the last 25 games. On Thursday night, Claude Julien switched things up a bit and dropped Smith from the second to third line, bumping Loui Eriksson up alongside Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand.

“We have had the best of days!’

Janice Valentine, Career Transition Specialist, Long Beach Polytechnic High School

Janice Valentine says her students had a great day at the Lift & Move USA event hosted by Bragg Companies in Long Beach, CA, November 2016. It opened the eyes of herThe resignation of the RSL's national president "opens up a new era" for the organisation following a string of governance troubles, its interim chairman says.

RSL National president Robert Dick resigned amid the wrap-up of an external review into the organisation, conducted by auditors KPMG.

"Robert understood that for us to move forward and to install our new governance and other requirements, it was better that was managed by a new face," John King, president of the ACT branch and interim national chair, told AAP on Friday.

Mr Dick's "very emotional" announcement on Thursday came as a shock to the board but it "opens up a new era", his temporary replacement added.

"The RSL is an organisation which is over a hundred years old. Unfortunately, some of the practices were a bit


outdated," Mr King said.

"KPMG is working with us to bring those into the 21st century."

In announcing Mr Dick's resignation on Friday, the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission said it "puts the interests of the charity and the RSL first".

The regulator in February ordered the RSL bring in an external expert. A plan to address the organisation's governance issues is set to be finalised by the end of July.

"The governance improvement action plan resulting from the KPMG review will contain a clear set of recommendations to address current, critical governance issues and the need for a broader, more strategic process of reform and improvement," ACNC Commissioner Gary Jones said.

The regulator earlier found the RSL failed to comply with its charity obligations after outgoing president Rear Admiral Ken Doolan wasgifted a car worth nearly $27,500 and $3600 in books in June 2016.

RSL NSW and its aged care arm RSL LifeCare were also ordered to implement changes following the misuse of funds.

Former NSW RSL president Don Rowe was found to have spent $465,000 of the charity's money.

Between 2009 and 2014, he used his RSL credit card for things including his mortgage and family phone bills.

He also paid for one of his children to stay at an RSL-owned Sydney CBD hotel, and allowed his son to stay there without paying rent for seven years.

Mr Dick has been contacted for comment about his resignation.


Former Breitbart reporter Michelle Fields was videoed coming between an apparent Secret Service agent and Trump adviser Dan Scavino to stand directly behind leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as he spoke to reporters in an impromptu gaggle before the start of his GOP primaries victory press conference on March 8 in Jupiter, Florida.

(VIDEO UPDATE AT END OF ARTICLE.)

Later that evening after the press conference was over and Trump walked though the room on his way out, Fields would accuse Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski of roughly grabbing her by the arm and nearly throwing her to the ground as she tried to pose a question to Trump. Fields subsequently filed charges against Lewandowski. Lewandowski presented himself for processing on March 29 after Jupiter police decided to chargewho claimed campaign manager battered her as he acts out her initial statements while insisting he won’t fire anyone following criminal charge – after Secret Service agent says journalist touched The Donald first

Speaking on condition of anonymity, a member of Trump’s U.S. Secret Service detail told DailyMail.com on Tuesday that Fields made physical contact with Trump twice – and was warned by agents to stop – before Lewandowski grabbed her arm to pull her away from the billionaire. ‘She crossed in between agents and our protectee after being told not to,’ said the agent, who was present that night in Jupiter.

The video by Kathleen Walter shows that what Martosko reported was definitely possible–and given what is seen on the later incident involving Fields and Trump most likely true.

February 4, 2013 11:10 AM

Newswise — San Francisco, CA. (February 4, 2013) – Patients undergoing major vascular surgery procedures are at increased risk of stroke, leading to a high mortality rate and prolonged hospitalization, according to a study in the February issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia, official journal of the International Anesthesia Research Society (IARS).

But the risk factors for stroke associated with vascular surgery—such as old age or a history of previous heart disease or stroke—are not "readily modifiable," reports the study by Dr Milad Sharifpour and colleagues of University of Michigan Medical Center, Ann Arbor.

working period at the school library in mid 2007 to mid 2008. I should say that it was a big challenge for me in my first step as a library practitioner jumped down into the real working areal. It was my first experience of facing users face to face.

The former librarian in the school library, where I was working for a year, is a law graduated. And seems that when he inducted me for a week before he officially moved to his new workplace, the library was a hollow place. I could count how many student (with their own will) came to the library every single day along the induction week , with my left fingers only.

NVIDIA geared up for the new year in a big way by releasing the fantastic GeForce GTX 560 Ti. Packing 384 CUDA cores, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti shook up the mainstream to high-end markets and forced AMD to cut prices of both 2GB and 1GB variants of the Radeon HD 6950 and also the Radeon HD 6870, effectively removing the Radeon HD 6870 out of the picture and positioning the beefier Radeon HD 6950 as the GeForce GTX 560 Ti’s main competitor. Nevertheless, in spite of this move, the GeForce GTX 560 Ti remained to be really popular.

And now, NVIDIA is following up with the new GeForce GTX 550 Ti, in an attempt to rejuvenate their mainstream Fermi offerings. In terms of specifications, the GeForceto raising the transfer fee for Raheem Sterling, initially informing Liverpool they would not pay the £49m the Merseyside club wanted. Yet in order to close the deal City finally offered the full amount for the forward.

Guardiola wants Stones for his ability to start the play from defence and if the England international is acquired City may drop their interest in Leonardo Bonucci, the 29-year-old Juventus centre-back.

City are expected to announce a one‑year contract extension for Sergio Agüero before the season opener at home to Sunderland on 13 August. It is thought the 28-year-old has agreed the terms on a deal to 2020. After that Agüero may return to his native Argentina and his first club, Independiente. He has spoken previously of doing so.

Andrew Yang is America’s first gamer presidential candidate. Moreover, the New York Democrat is the first presidential candidate I can really relate to.

To explain, Yang is a Generation X (he’s 44 born in 1974); something of a tech bro, and a geek. Uniquely, Yang is the first presidential candidate who grew up playing video games and using computers.

Notably, proudly admits to being a nerd on the campaign trail, GeekWire reveals.“Yes! This is the nerdiest presidential campaign in history! We did it, Seattle!” Yang told a crowd at a May 3, rally in Seattle.

In fact, Yang mentions the first video game he played; Asteroids, his first gaming system; Atari 2600, and his favorite games in his book The War on Normal People. For the record, Yang’s favorite childhood gamesusers like Trump was. Notably, even some Alt-Righters and white nationalists are backing Yang, Mother Jones reports. In addition, Yang is a businessman with a little political experience like Trump. In addition, Yang displays a good understanding of modern America, human nature, communications, strategy, and technology like Trump.

Yang dares discuss economic truths mainstream candidates refuse to acknowledge, like Trump used to. Notably, Yang is the only candidate discussing technological unemployment and the retail apocalypse.

In addition, like Trump, Yang openly discusses the dismal state of much of Middle America. For instance, Yang Tweets and talks about the drop in life expectancy among working-class whites.

Moreover, like Trump Yang will call out companies that kill jobs including media darlings like Amazon, GeekWire reports. In fact, Yang tells GeekWire’s Todd Bishop he

Car bomb kills 11 at tea shop in Mogadishu,Somalia

MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — A car bomb blast Thursday in a normally quiet Mogadishu neighborhood blew the facade off a tea shop where intelligence officers are known to congregate, killing at least 11 people, police said.

A ball of smoke rose into the sky, as survivors ducked for cover. One man broke his arm when, startled by the blast, he jumped out of a moving car near the attack.

Police Capt. Mohammed Hussein said he saw 11 dead bodies. The tea shop is frequented by members of Somalia's intelligence unit but it wasn't immediately known how many of the victims were government employees.

The al-Qaida-linked group al-Shabab has increased the frequency of attacks in Somalia's capital in recent weeks, raising the specter ofa return to daily violence. Last week an al-Shabab team attacked the presidential palace with two car bombs and seven gunmen. A car bomb exploded near a U.N. convoy earlier this month.

Witnesses said the car bomb sped toward the tea shop before detonating. Broken tea glasses were scattered on the ground amid splatters of blood.

After controlling most of Mogadishu for years, al-Shabab was pushed out by African Union forces in August 2011, allowing an era of relative peace to be ushered in. However, al-Shabab has increased its pace of attacks in recent weeks, including the use of mortar fire attacks, complex suicide team attacks and even targeted murders.

Gunmen shot dead a health worker giving out polio vaccinations on Wednesday night, the second polio worker killed in the capital


this week, police said.

The increase in attacks comes amid plans by the African Union and Somali forces to carry out an offensive against al-Shabab to try to reduce further the areas in the country's south-central region that the militants control.

Somali Prime Minister Abdiweli Sheikh Ahmed, responding to Thursday's attack, said in a written statement the government has set out steps "aimed at eliminating the threat of terrorism in our country."

"Today's indiscriminate attack on a tea shop filled with civilians going about their lives has only resulted in the further tragic loss of innocent Somali lives.

for more solar installations on community buildings, and raised a further £120,000.

Who is REG?REG Windpower is a renewable energy developer based in Truro, Cornwall. REG is proposing to build two wind turbines in the area between the M48 and M4 motorways.

When did BEC get involved in the project?In December 2012. After our solar share offer earlier in the year, we started developing projects for other renewable technologies, including wind power. It takes a long time to develop a wind project from scratch though, so we looked to partner with others if possible. We contacted a number of companies who were developing local wind turbine projects, and discussed the possibility of community investment in the projects. One of those companies was REG, and they were immediately supportive of therebeing a significant community element to the M48 wind farm.

In January 2013 we wrote a letter of support for the project to the South Glos planning department. In the letter we said we hoped to work closely with the developers of the scheme so that local people could be involved and share in the benefits. In April 2013 the planning committee made a visit to the proposed site as part their decision-making process. We attended the site visit, and spoke in favour of the project. At the time our discussions with REG about our level of involvement in the project were still in progress. However, in June that year we signed a legal agreement that gives BEC an exclusive option to the buy the M48 wind farm from

Utah's coal production among states in significant decline

By Amy Joi O'Donoghue , Deseret News

Published: Wednesday, Oct. 30 2013 3:15 p.m. MDT

A new analysis shows that coal production is down significantly in top producing states, including Utah. The report by Clean Energy Action — a group seeking to transition from fossil fuel dependency — suggests U.S. coal reserves are overestimated. (Matthew Brown, Associated Press)

SALT LAKE CITY — A new analysis by an advocacy group championing an end to fossil fuel dependence shows that Utah is among the top coal-producing states experiencing drastic production declines from its apparent peak year.

The report by Colorado-based Clean Energy Action said production numbers tracked in the nation's 16 top coal-producing states should call into question the extent of U.S. coal reserves and how they2012, the Dugout Mine laid off 114 workers, and in June, Arch Coal announced it was selling the Sufco, Skyline and Dugout mines for $435 million to cut costs from falling coal prices.

Just last month, the West Ridge Mine in Carbon County laid off 102 workers, blaming the Obama administration's pursuit of policies aimed at shutting down coal-fired power plants.

The report released Wednesday examined trends in U.S. coal production from 1990 to 2012 in the 16 top coal-producing states. Utah is No. 15 and reached a peak production in 2001 of 27 million tons. Last year's coal production in Utah was at 16.4 million tons, or down 39.3 percent from 2001, according to the report.

With the exception of Indiana at 2.4 percent, all other states experienced double-digit declines,


according to the report, including Pennsylvania, 80.2 percent; Virginia, 61.4 percent; Ohio, 50.2 percent; Kentucky, 47.7 percent; and Illinois, 46.4 percent.

The report noted that the top 16 states produce 95 percent of U.S. coal, and with the exception of Indiana, all appear to be past their earlier peak, suggesting that mining coal "reserves" is only going to become more expensive.

"The rising cost of production is the sleeper issue for those who follow coal and energy markets in the United States," said Tom Sanzillo, director of finance with the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. "It is a geological certainty and an economic fact that as mining activity matures in a region, production typically becomes more difficult and more expensive."

The group stressed that there is a faulty reliancepercent of the state's electricity is generated from coal.

The Bureau of Land Management said the state has 10 operating mines that produce coal from 77 leases covering more than 98,000 acres. The Central Utah Coal Fields, where coal is being produced, have been mined for more than 100 years, and agency projections estimate there are about 15 years' worth of reserves left.

As those reserves are depleted, coal production could shift to other areas of the state, the BLM said, noting it is currently reviewing an application for surface coal mining outside of Panguitch.

An orbiter operated by the United States is set to fly over the part of the Moon where the Chandrayaan-2 lander Vikram lies after having lost contact with Earth during its attempt to land on the lunar surface. On Tuesday, exactly 10 days after the Vikram lander went silent, Nasa's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will fly over Vikram's landing site and attempt to take pictures of the lander in the hopes of determining the spacecraft's fate.

However, there are concerns that fading sunlight in the region, where Vikram is, could blur the photos that Nasa's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will attempt to take.

A spokesperson for


the National Aeronautics and Space Administration had previously confirmed that the space agency's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter will fly over Vikram's landing site on September 17. It is unknown at what time will the orbiter perform the fly-by.

Interestingly, it turns out that Nasa's LRO had managed to collect data during the Chandrayaan-2 lander's descent in the early hours of September 7. A Nasa official, speaking at an event in the US recently, said the LRO studied changes to Moon's atmosphere caused by rocket effluent released during Vikram's descent.

On the way home, we stopped at Deception Falls and took the half-mile hike along the Tye River and Deception Creek. Beautiful place and a joy to spend a little time in the "wilderness" again.

couple of weeks in May we spent in Hawaii with our two sons, their wives and our two adorable little grandsons. One daughter-in-law missed the first five days because of work commitments (bummer!). We had a wonderful time playing with the babies and especially enjoyed seeing them experience the pool and ocean for their first times! The (adult) kids had fun surfing, snorkeling and sightseeing.

After returning to the mainland, we resumed babysitting again. And, since we needed to go pick up the motorhome, we packed up baby and gear, hopped in the toad and made the five hour drive back to Spokane. It took awhile to get gear situated in the motorhome and we made it partway back to Seattle before stopping for the night. Sebastian was athe council member for $55,000 in missed payments. He has said he repaid the money.

The financial issues appeared to start shortly after he and his wife bought a four-bedroom home in the Southeast neighborhood of Hillcrest in 2002 for $313,000. Over the next few years, he obtained at least five loans secured by the house, including a home-equity line of credit from Industrial Bank, the one prosecutors mention in the court filings.

Court papers say he also obtained a loan from Industrial to buy his 38-foot powerboat, Bullet Proof, which he keeps docked in Anacostia’s Boathouse Row.

finding across the three schools in 2007 may in part be explained by the fact that all students at Otago medical school spend their first two preclinical years at Dunedin before they disperse to their clinical schools in Dunedin, Christchurch, and Wellington providing some homogeneity of experience of the student group at the school shown to have a change in perceptions of faculty attitudes. Alternatively there may be factors external to the school environment which resulted in the findings amongst the student group, though one would expect such factors to also influence faculty.

Transparent and flexible nanocomposite films with a range of Agarose to Cellulose Nano-Whisker (CNW) ratios were produced using never-dried CNWs. The incorporation of never-dried CNWs within Agarose played an important role in the surface roughness (Ra 7-15 nm) and light transparency of the films (from 84 to 90%). Surface induced crystallisation of Agarose by CNWs was also found with increasing percentage of crystallinity (up to 79%) for the nanocomposite films, where CNW acted as nucleating sites. The enhanced tensile strength (ca. 30% increase) and modulus (ca. 90% increase) properties of the nanocomposite films compared to the control Agarose film indicated the effectiveness of the nanowhiskers incorporation.

NBA Presidential Cabinet Of The United States

On Nov. 8, Americans will head to the polls to decide whether Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump will be the next president of the United States.

But what if NBA players controlled the executive branch? Who would be president? Could Stephen Curry serve under LeBron James? Can Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook work together for the good of the union? How can Kawhi Leonard, DeAndre Jordan and DeMarcus Cousins divide up defensive responsibilities?

The Cabinet and Cabinet-level positions would look something like this:

President: LeBron James

No question about this. Although the veteran James has struggled to maintain a more likable public image than young stars such as Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, the King is still the leader of the NBA. Hesolidified his campaign for the 2016-17 presidency with an NBA championship last spring. James is the face of the NBA and its greatest ambassador around the world.

The NBA's charismatic and talented two-time reigning MVP, Curry was the favorite going into last year's 2016 NBA Finals primary, but he proved just a bit too inexperienced. Although he is still a public servant to President James, Curry will continue attempting to expand his own public profile and could soon take over the role as president.

Now the lone superstar in Oklahoma City, Westbrook is taking on a greater role in the NBA community. He is one of the most well-liked players in the league, but more importantly, his image is spreading around the world. As a face of the Jordan Brand,


Westbrook went on a mega-tour in Asia this summer that showed how famous he has become. Westbrook has the confidence and appeal -- and now the experience -- to engage in the most intense discussions with the United States' allies and enemies.

This calls for a trustworthy and seasoned individual. Paul has served as president of the National Basketball Players Association since August 2013. He also seems like a responsible parent to Kevin Love and Damian Lillard in the State Farm Insurance Hoopers commercials. Oh, and on the court, Paul is probably the NBA's best floor general of the past decade. He can keep the nation's finances organized.

There are a lot of good candidates for this role, but Leonard, the two-time reigning Defensive Player of the Year holds theposition. Under the tutelage of Tim Duncan, Leonard carries a workman's like demeanor and avoids unnecessary confrontation. He seems like a level-headed leader to keep the country safe. His wingspan and awareness help him cover both coasts.

The 32-year-old veteran has been a notable proponent of social justice the past year. He sees the law through a progressive lens, and he has the respect of the rest of other players. At this point in his career -- forget his past contract negotiations -- justice is most important to Melo, whose represented the United States at four Olympics.

An all-around star, George has seen much of the United States, playing college basketball in Fresno, California, and spending his whole professional career in Indianapolis. He can be trusted to maximize the nation's


agricultural output.

The former No. 1 overall pick has evolved into one of the game's best ball-handlers and distributors. Irving is still learning how to delegate the basketball best, but after a world championship (in which he hit the winning shot in Game 7), he seems ready for this role.

Lowry knows what it is like to put in hard work. The point guard played eight seasons for three teams before finally becoming an All-Star in his ninth and tenth years. Now 30, Lowry sees the world as both a star and a reserve, and he can look out for people at all levels of work.

Wade has played more than 70 games in a season just once the past five years, thanks to shoulder and knee issues. But the 34-year-oldfuture Hall of Famer keeps grinding. Wade knows how important it is to preserves one's health and still succeed.

In real life, this role is currently held by Julian Castro, one of the young guns of the Democratic Party, whose name was tossed around as a potential running mate for Hillary Clinton. Castro, the son of a political activist and a teacher, expects to compete for the presidency one day. Lillard, who grew up in Oakland, is roughly Castro's NBA equivalent. A hard-nosed and driven youngster, Lillard is a future MVP candidate. Just ask Steve Kerr.

Barnes has played for nine different franchises in 11 different stints. Entering this season, he had career averages of 8.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 855 games in 13 seasons. His latest


move has brought him to Sacramento for the second time. Barnes has played on the East Coast and the West Coast, and is well-versed in the forms of transportation this country has to offer.

To be honest, it is hard to find a position for Harden. He is a polarizing political figure, who in real life, faces an image problem, as many fans find disgust in his selfishness on the court. However, his skill is undeniable and the cabinet needs his talent. Harden has spent his career in Oklahoma and Texas and can be an asset to finding alternative forms of energy.

They don't call him "The Truth" for nothing. Now in his 19th NBA season, the 10-time All-Star and NBA Finals MVP is a prime mentor to his youngbrunt of many of James' (and Secretary of Commerce Irving's) jokes. But James goes out of his way to make sure the media knows he values Love. The three-time All-Star is a formidable, loyal public servant to James.

This position demands a two-way player. Butler needs to balance a budget, while putting the U.S. in the best financial standing moving forward. Butler knows how to maximize a contract. Two years ago, he turned down a contract extension and bet on himself. He turned into an All-Star and earned a max deal.

Gooden, last with the Wizards, has been traded six times. Assuming he finds a new home this season -- the Wizards declined their option on Gooden and he is a free agent -- he is the most-traded active player.


Gooden has played for ten different franchises and experienced trade in many forms.

The NBA has a lot of foreign players, including many veterans, but Porzingis, 21, is racking up fans like no international youngster before him. He was born in Latvia, played in Spain as a teen and now makes his living in New York City, home of the actual United Nations. He is young and raw, but Porzingis -- working closely with Attorney General Anthony -- is on a mission to make the world a more peaceful place.

How does one turn a nine-year career with no All-Star Game selections, no NBA Finals appearances and career averages of 13.6 points and 5.6 assists into the league's most lucrative deal (five years, $152.6 million)? No one knows but Conley.So let him advise the nation's financial decisions.

Administrator Of The Small Business Administration: Karl-Anthony Towns

At 20, Towns is learning how to run a small-market basketball team, after a Rookie of the Year campaign with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Towns, a great defender, just needs to look out for other small business individuals and learn the presidential offense during his tenure in this role.

Technically, this isn't a cabinet or cabinet-level position, but it is one of the more important roles related to the executive branch. And that makes it a perfect position for Durant right now. LeBron James is the king of the league and Stephen Curry is the more popular player on Durant's team. Durant, who lost some public appeal moving to Golden State, is the perfect individual


European retailers were sold out of the new iPhone 3G before stores in the US even opened on Friday, thanks in part to strong marketing from Apple's mobile partners.

The initial sales surge not only blew through stores' inventory but also delivered a knock-out punch to Apple's iTunes activation servers.

The Swiss daily newspaper "20 Minuten" reported that hundreds waited in line for hours in ZÃ¼rich in front of the central Swisscom store. The mobile phone provider opened 100 of its retail stores at 6:30 AM and served snacks and water to those waiting in line.

In Bern, Swisscom's main shop in the Christoffel shopping center was sold out of 16 GB iPhones by 8 AM, and was sold out of all iPhones by two in the afternoon. An employee reportedthat the store had received an initial allotment of 3,000 iPhones. There are over a dozen other Swisscom retail stores in the Bern area, and all were sold out on the first day. Orange didn't open its stores as early in the morning, but was similarly sold out of all iPhones by early afternoon as well.

Several other retail shops in downtown Bern, including Mobilezone, Apple Specialist retailer Data Quest, and the Globus department store, which hosts a Swisscom store inside, were all busy selling the new iPhone to slow moving lines three customers deep all morning. All sold out of their inventories by early afternoon, although a few stores had held a unit or two for customers who had called in to reserve one.

As much as I love getting my shine on during those barefoot blue jean nights, you have to admit that country music is getting a little repetitive. At this point I think every long tan legged woman has hopped up in the back of a truck for a cold beer. Don’t get me wrong I love Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan and the rest of the country bros, but 2013's under-appreciated music heroes are the female country artists. From their honest — and sometimes hilarious — lyrics to their charitable acts, these gals are taking the reins of country music and steering things in a new direction. Here are seven women who did amazing things with the genre in 2013.

 Gabriela Dabrowski /  Sharon Fichman def.  Misa Eguchi /  Eri Hozumi, 7–6(8–6),GAINESVILLE, Fla. — University of Florida College of Pharmacy researchers have discovered a marine compound off the coast of Key Largo that inhibits cancer cell growth in laboratory tests, a finding they hope will fuel the development of new drugs to better battle the disease.

The UF-patented compound, largazole, is derived from cyanobacteria that grow on coral reefs. Researchers, who described results from early studies today (Aug. 7) at an international natural products scientific meeting in Athens, Greece, say it is one of the most promising they've found since the college's marine natural products laboratory was established three years ago.

An initial set of papers in the Journal of the American Chemical Society also has garnered the attention of other scientists, and the lab is racing to complete additional research.


The molecule's natural chemical structure and ability to inhibit cancer cell growth were first described in the journal in February and the laboratory synthesis and description of the molecular basis for its anticancer activity appeared July 2.

"It's exciting because we've found a compound in nature that may one day surpass a currently marketed drug or could become the structural template for rationally designed drugs with improved selectivity," said Hendrik Luesch, Ph.D., an assistant professor in UF's department of medicinal chemistry and the study's principal investigator.

Largazole, discovered and named by Luesch for its Florida location and structural features, seeks out a family of enzymes called histone deacetylase, or HDAC. Overactivity of certain HDACs has been associated with several cancers such as prostate and colon tumors, and inhibiting HDACs canactivate tumor-suppressor genes that have been silenced in these cancers.

Although scientists have been probing the depths of the ocean for marine products since the early 1960s, many pharmaceutical companies lost interest before researchers could deliver useful compounds because natural products were considered too costly and time-consuming to research and develop.

Many common medications, from pain relievers to cholesterol-reducing statins, stem from natural products that grow on the earth, but there is literally an ocean of compounds yet to be discovered in our seas. Only 14 marine natural products developed are in clinical trials today, Luesch said, and one drug recently approved in Europe is the first-ever marine-derived anticancer agent.

"Marine study is in its infancy," said William Fenical, Ph.D., a distinguished professor of oceanography and pharmaceutical sciences at the University

The 27-year-old Irishman, who made his 50th Baggies league appearance during the 1-0 defeat to Arsenal on Boxing Day, attached an advert for a Swift Corvette caravan for sale in Maidstone, Kent.

McClean is believed to have come across Lisa's story in a national newspaper before reaching out to volunteer Neil Charlick, who has helped support her.

Mr Charlick, 46, said: "He sent me a message through his wife's account and said he would happily buy a caravan. He then explained who he was and asked me if I was a football fan and offered to give me a signed shirt.

"We had a chat and I said I would look at the logistics of getting a caravan moved. Iasked if it was okay to say it was from him and he said he was happy as long as the family got helped."

Lisa, 36, is currently living in a tent under a bridge with her partner Wally and is five months pregnant.

Mr Charlick said: "It is good that someone in his position is willing to do something like this. I have respect for the man. He has had some stick for other things he has done but fair play to the bloke for doing this."

Mandie Powell, a volunteer from Walsall who supports the homeless, said: "It is amazing what he's doing. It's fantastic and it is a pity more people aren't doing it."

Three things Gareth Southgate is teaching us about leadership

Gareth Southgate has done tremendously well as the manager of the England football team who have achieved way beyond expectations at the World Cup Finals.

In his own quiet way, Gareth has been sending us some powerful messages about leading.has been responsible for a generation of children learning to love literature. In 2013 she was named a national literacy hero by the National Literacy Trust. In her books and her films she defined femininity for a generation of girls who are now grown up.

Her heroine Hermione Grainger is cleverer than the boys. She is also so hard-working that she leaps at the magic technology of the Time Turner which allows her to go to two different classes simultaneously. This seems very similar to the trope that working women hear about needing to work twice as hard as any man in order to succeed.

she started her career as a barrister and campaigner, before becoming the first female president of Ireland. She resigned the presidency two months early to take up her post in the United Nations, which shows her unwavering commitment to the causes she believed in.

Not only did she break down gender barriers – she transformed political attitudes too. Robinson breathed new life into a conservative, low-profile political office, and wasn’t afraid to stand up for what she believed in. On a day when we’re reflecting on the social, cultural and political achievements of women, I can’t think of anyone who has done more to advance our cause – and to have done so with such grace.

My grandmother. She was a zoologist who specialised in studying cheetahs and did some groundbreaking research in South Africa in the 1940s and 1950s. Her book is still used as part of the academic curriculum at universities. Most importantly, she gave zero fucks. She had short hair, wore trousers and safari boots in an age where women were expected to wear petticoats and corsets, and she smoked a pipe. Oh, and she kept a family of meerkats in the house.

I also like the Velcro story. The inventor, Georges de Mestral, cannot fathom why customers favor American zippers over his collection of laces. He comes up with even stronger laces, until he finally understands what people like about flies: the sound that comes with zipping and unzipping. He's puzzled. He goes for a walk with his dog. Soon enough, its fur is covered with burdocks. Velcro is born. The idea did not come out of an umpteenth brainstorming session, but out of a bucolic walk.

The Canton Republican still holds the state's gubernatorial record for largest margin of victory in his 1994 landslide re-election, losing just five towns. And he was the MassGOP's nominee for U.S. Senate in 1996 when he mounted a serious campaign to unseat U.S. Sen. John Kerry.

Now, Weld will appear on the March 3 presidential Republican primary ballot in his home state, despite the efforts of the political party he once led.

He has Secretary of State William Galvin, a Democrat, to thank, instead.

Galvin has given all four political parties in Massachusetts - including the Democratic, Republican, Green-Rainbow and Libertarian


Galvin said.

Weld thanked Galvin for his stance.

"When I was Governor, Republicans and Democrats in the Commonwealth respected one another and actually worked together," he said. "It is gratifying that such respect remains and that Secretary of State Galvin is ready to defend the rights of all Massachusetts voters."

Weld, who briefly left the Republican Party in 2016 to run as the vice presidential nominee on the Libertarian ticket, is mounting a long-shot primary challenge to President Trump, hoping to damage the incumbent in the process.

The former governor has predicted dire consequences for the Republican Party if Trump is not impeached and removed from office, a message that runs counter to Lyons's support for the president.

State law allows the secretary of state to unilaterally put a candidate on the primaryballot if they have determined the candidate to be "generally advocated or recognized in national news media throughout the United States."

The latest WBUR poll of New Hampshire Republicans had the former Massachusetts governor trailing the president with 9% of the vote. Trump led Weld 82% to 18% in an Emerson College poll of Massachusetts Republicans from April.

"I've already had a conversation with Mr. Lyons about this, and I told him that we had done our review and we thought Mr. Weld, as well as a former Congressman from Illinois, were national candidates," Galvin told the News Service on Thursday.

In addition to Weld, the secretary was referring to former Republican Congressman Joe Walsh. There's a fourth potential candidate — Roque de la Fuente — who Galvin said he does
