Article 67 of the TFEU states that the Union shall ensure the absence of internal border controls for persons and shall frame a common policy on asylum, immigration and external border control, based on solidarity between Member States, which is fair towards third-country nationals, including stateless persons.

The recent crisis situation in the Mediterranean prompted the Union institutions to immediately acknowledge the exceptional migratory flows in this region and call for concrete measures of solidarity towards the frontline Member States. At its meeting of 23 April 2015, the European Council decided, inter alia, to reinforce internal solidarity and responsibility and committed itself in particular to increasing emergency assistance to frontline Member States and to considering options for organising emergency relocation between Member States on a voluntary basis, as well as to deploying European Asylum Support Office teams in frontline Member States for the joint processing of applications for international protection, including registration and fingerprinting.SEOUL — The United States and South Korea have failed to agree on a bigger South Korean share of the cost of maintaining U.S. troops, an official said on Friday, as the U.S. military warned Korean workers they might be put on leave if no deal is reached.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly said that South Korea should bear more of the burden for keeping some 28,500 U.S. troops in South Korea, where the United States has stationed forces since the 1950-53 Korean War.

Senior officials from both sides held three-day talks in Seoul from Tuesday to hammer out an accord to replace a 2014 deal due to expire this year, which requires South Korea to pay about $850 million this year.

Despite 10 rounds of negotiations since March, the two


sides struggled to reach an agreement after the United States demanded a sharp increase, South Korean officials said.

"We've come to agreement on almost all elements but could not make it final because of differences on the total scale of the deal," a senior South Korean foreign ministry official told reporters on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue.

The United States initially pushed South Korea to increase its share of the burden to about $1.2 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported last week, citing unidentified sources.

South Korean officials have not publicly confirmed a dollar amount, and U.S. Forces Korea did not have immediate comment.

South Korean officials have said the United States asked that South Korea pay for the mobilization of equipment, such as bombers, nuclear-powered aircraftcarriers and submarines, during joint military exercises.

Trump announced a halt to the exercises in June after a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, saying they were very expensive and paid for mostly by his country.

Some small-scale joint exercises have taken place since then, while major ones were suspended as part of efforts to expedite talks aimed at ending North Korea's nuclear program.

The South Korean official said the two sides were not expected to meet again this year, raising the risk of a funding gap.

Last month, U.S. Forces Korea warned South Korean workers some of them might have to "furlough," or go on leave, from mid-April if a deal could not be reached.

About 70 percent of South Korea's contribution covers the salaries of some 8,700 employees who

WATCH: Jeff Beck & Steven Tyler Tear It Up On "Train Kept A-Rollin'"

Just one highlight from upcoming JEFF BECK 'Live at The Hollywood Bowl'

September 29, 2017

In July of 2016, guitar legend JEFF BECK performed at the Hollywood Bowl in honor of his 50th anniversary as a rock & roll performer. He featured music from the very beginning of his career with The Yardbirds to his present day recordings, and he was joined by an all-star list of musicians, including ZZ TOP's Billy Gibbons, blues legend Buddy Guy, and AEROSMITH's Steven Tyler, the latter of whom joined Beck on stage for a raucous take on the classic “Train Kept A-Rollin’.”

Of course, AEROSMITH covered the song on their own on 1974's Get Your Wings album, and Jeff Beck


The National Liberation Army (Ejercito de Liberación Nacional) guerrilla, known by its acronym ELN, has announced a nationwide Armed Strike from Thursday, February 14 (6:00 am) to Monday, February 17 (6:00 am). The “paro armado” falls within the dates of the anniversary of the death of the organization’s founder Camilo Torres on February 15, 1966.

Camilo Torres, known as the “Guerrilla Priest,” abandoned the priesthood to join the armed insurgency based on the principles of Liberation Theology. Torres was killed by the Colombian Army during a confrontation in Patio Cemento, a small town in the department of Santander.

According to a statement released by the guerrilla from the mountainous region of Catatumbo, Norte de Santander, the 72-hour Armed Strike warns civilians “to avoid all road, air and river transport.” Thetrees are protected in all landscapes.

"It is critical for the Common Agricultural Policy to promote the appropriate management of wood pasture habitats containing veteran trees across Europe," said Luc Bas, director of the IUCN European Regional Office.

Monitoring

The report pointed to the need for different ages of trees in the landscape, including saplings, mature trees, ancient trees, standing dead trees, fallen tree trunks and stumps.

It said some progress had been made in the forestry sector, while the importance of deadwood is being increasingly acknowledged in many countries.

In Europe, there are 58 families of beetles, made up of nearly 29,000 species. About 4,000 are thought to rely on dead and decaying wood for at least part of their lifecycle.

However, for many of these species data is lacking, suggesting more monitoring


is urgently needed.

"The population trend of half the species assessed remains unknown," said Keith Alexander, IUCN Saproxylic Beetles Specialist Advisor.

He said that three of the species from the list were found in the UK, including a type of longhorn beetle that lives only on veteran oak trees.

He called for raised public awareness of their conservation needs.

"Some of these beetles are incredibly beautiful interesting things - if people stopped and looked at them and appreciated them, they'd realise they're just as worthy of conservation as elephants and tigers," he told the BBC. "And these things live in the countryside on our doorstep."

Beetles at risk:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich remembers the day 23 years ago when Hillary Clinton, notebook in hand, came to see him and other senior Republicans to talk about "Hillarycare."

It was early 1993. Clinton, on behalf of her husband, then-President Bill Clinton, was leading a healthcare reform drive that vaulted her onto the national stage.

Hillarycare would famously collapse after a fierce debate. In interviews with Reuters, some participants looked back on it as a crucible for the Democratic presidential front-runner that helped shape her approach to politics and governing.

The experience, they said, may have tempered her ambitions for the capacity of government and made her more of an incrementalist.

"Back then, she seemed


to have more of a taste for the big theory and the big plan," said Republican activist and editor Bill Kristol, who wrote anti-Hillarycare strategy memos for Republicans in the 1990s.

Kristol said that since then, Clinton, who is vying to face off against presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in the Nov. 8 U.S. election, seems to have learned that "the appearance of a massive government imposition on the citizenry doesn't go over well in America."

'WHATEVER SHE WANTED'

Clinton walked into the 1993 meeting with Gingrich and said she wanted to learn from him and other leaders who were already studying healthcare. He was then the Republican whip in the U.S. House of Representatives. She was the highly accomplished wife of the Democratic Party's new superstar and a Yale-educatedlawyer.

Gingrich's advice to her was simple: Do a series of small reforms year to year. Don't do a comprehensive plan.

"You won't be able to pass it," Gingrich said he warned Clinton in the meeting, also attended by then-House Republican Leader Bob Michel and then-Representative Dennis Hastert.

"It will fall of its own weight ... She listened to us carefully and promptly went off and did whatever she wanted to," recalled Gingrich, now a political commentator often mentioned as a potential vice presidential running mate to Donald Trump.

Later that year, the Clinton White House delivered an ambitious and complex, 1,342-page proposal for universal health insurance for all Americans. The first lady led the charge and testified in a series of lengthy congressional hearings.

She wowed lawmakers with her energy and intelligence.


But she could not convince enough of them to back the plan.

In the end, Hillarycare failed, and never even received a floor vote in the House or Senate, although both chambers had Democratic majorities.

Aided by the backlash that followed against "big government" Democrats, the Republicans in 1994 won a majority in the House for the first time since the 1950s, and Gingrich became speaker in early 1995.

Even Clinton supporters acknowledged that the size and scope of Hillarycare unsettled some Americans. "She has learned that excessive disruption in this country creates great angst. And also division," said Chris Jennings, who was the first lady's congressional liaison during the 1993-94 battle, and is now an informal adviser on healthcare to Clinton's campaign.

Reuters did not speak with Clinton for this story.But Clinton wrote in her 2003 autobiography "Living History" that "our most critical mistake was trying to do too much, too fast. That said, I still believe we were right to try."

Clinton has also pointed out that while she was still first lady, she rebounded from the Hillarycare setback by urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a health insurance program for children in low-income families.

CAUTIOUS SENATOR

Clinton was elected in 2000 to the U.S. Senate, where she displayed bipartisanship and caution, said Jim Manley, who was a junior staffer for Senator Ted Kennedy in 1993-94 and later the spokesman for Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid.

"Once she got to the Senate, she was determined to work with Republicans," Manley said. "The senator I saw was someone who was very cautious.


She picked an issue and worked very hard to build consensus."

Now, having run unsuccessfully for president in 2008 and having served as secretary of state, Clinton is on course to take on Trump, a former reality television personality and luxury real estate developer.

On the campaign trail she talks about building on President Barack Obama's 2010 Affordable Care Act, which made health insurance more accessible to millions of Americans.

She favors a "public option," or government-run plan, being added to the Affordable Care Act. She also has suggested allowing some working Americans to buy into the Medicare government health insurance system for the elderly.

"What she (Clinton) doesn't believe at this moment in time is that we can or should just start all over again" on healthcare, said Jennings, her formerbringing a sophisticated South Beach vibe to the region replete with infinity pool, trendy dining, and classy accommodation options as well.

inserted in the area of the fistula. Blood is taken out from the fistula via an arterial needle and blood is returned to the fistula via a venous needle.
A common method of generating a permanent access site having capability of providing a high blood flow and being operative during several years and even tens of years, is the provision of an arterio-venous fistula. It is produced by operatively connecting the radial artery to the cephalic vein at the level of the forearm. The venous limb of the fistula thickens during the course of several months, permitting repeated insertion of dialysis needles.
An alternative to the arterio-venous fistula is the arterio-venous graft, in which a connection is generated from, for example, the radial artery at the wrist to the basilicCrowleyLiber Pyramidos

It was announced today that occultist, author, artist, and gentleman Kenneth Grant passed away after an illness on January 15, 2011. He was 86 years old.

Grant, long a compelling figure in the world of occultism, has a legacy that extends back over half a century. He was the last man alive to have close ties to Aleister Crowley, having served as personal secretary to “The Beast”, and having been initiated into the Ordo Templi Orientis and Argentum Astrum by Crowley himself. After Crowley’s death, Grant and his wife Steffi were among the few attendees at Crowley’s funeral service. Subsequently, Grant became well known for helping to keep Crowley’s concepts and philosophies alive in the troubled decades following his death, and for the further continuation and expansion of

Highlights Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Monday had taken on Yogi Adityanath

"No place for revenge, violence or anger in country's soul," she had said

Yogi Adityanath then issued another warning of punishment

Senior Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's sharp attack over the Yogi Adityanath government's response to protests over the new citizenship law brought a stinging response from the Chief Minister and his deputy.

In a Hindi tweet under hashtag #BhagwameinLokKalyan (public welfare in saffron), Yogi Adityanath issued another warning of punishment.

The tweet, roughly translated, read: "Anyone interrupting a sanyasi's continuous efforts for public welfare will be punished. Those who inherited politics and practice politics of appeasement would hardly understand the concept of service."

At a press conference


on Monday, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra had taken on Yogi Adityanath over the police crackdown on protesters - the arrests and detentions - and a threat of seizure and auction of their property from the Chief Minister.

"We will take badla (revenge)" on those indulging in destroying public property," he had said.

Pointing out that Yogi Adityanath had donned saffron, a mark of the country's "religious and spiritual tradition", she said, "There is no place for revenge, violence or anger in the country's soul".

the map, which showed that Mr Sheridan's house was a church despite not having been for over 40 years.

For the record, I've counted 15 people stopping by and lingering in their phones so far. I think at least three car visits as well.

That has meant that a steady stream of people has been showing up to his house since the game became one of the most popular ever released this week. And there appears to be very little he can do about it.

Mr Sheridan noted that some people can sit in a park across from the house to be seen as being in the gym. But it still meant that cars were regularly pulling up outside of his house so that their phone would log their location.

And thosesame issues could lead to problems for people living nearby . Mr Sheridan noted that some people get upset when mapping apps send traffic through their usually quiet areas - and that Pokemon Go could lead to similar problems.

Mr Sheridan pointed out that the problems could easily lead to the value of his house going down and issues with his neighbours. The strange behaviour of people around his location - people turning up at all times and then leaving soon after - could easily lead people to speculate that drug dealing or other crime was happening there.

I just realized all the people walking or driving up, lingering, then moving on could easily make this place look like a dealer’s house.

Those same issues could come to players as well,


Unlike Bike Week or Bike to Work Day, Bicycle Day has less to do with a means of transport than it does with the trip itself. In particular, it denotes the day in 1943 when Dr. Albert Hofmann first dropped Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD). Hofmann accidentally discovered the compound a few days before and became curious about what would happen if he ingested what he calculated to be a suitably tiny amount. 250 micrograms and a bike ride home brought the Swiss scientist an answer to that question. The scientist was plagued with feelings of intense anxiety, paranoia, and a fear of impending insanity. After Hofmann determined that he was not in danger, he began to enjoy the trip—complete with its fascinating patterns, images, and colors.

Bicycle Day hasbeen informally celebrated since 1985, when the commemoration was first suggested by a professor at Northern Illinois University. It’s a fine date for a pleasant bike ride and an opportunity to learn about the history of psychedelics. You could even host a painting party to capture the vivid, fantastical imaginings of the human mind on canvas.

In other words, a sufficient seal between the collar member and the interior wall of the bore of the battery casing so as to prevent leakage of the acid from within the storage battery cannot be maintained at all times. Generally, this is because of wide tolerances encountered in the internal diameters of the battery casing bore along its axial length when the battery casings are commercially produced in large quantities and into which the collar members have to be fitted. Furthermore, in the manufacture of the battery casing bores there are produced at times various imperfections such as, for example, scratches, voids and the like upon the interior surfaces thereof.

The central housing 52 in FIG. 19 is molded inside the first and second movable molds 92 and 93. The rear holders 70a and 70b are molded outside the first movable mold 92, inside the second movable mold 93 and inside the third movable mold 94.
In other words, the housing 52 and the rear holders 70a and 70b are formed in such a condition that the fixed and the movable molds have been joined together and then the first movable mold 92 is pulled up and subsequently the second movable molds 93 and 93 are separated laterally. Consequently, a space is produced between the rear holders 70a and 70b and the housing 52, and the third


housing;
a tapered retaining step engaged with the retaining pawl provided at the housing; and
a contact face tilted forwardly downwardly for guiding the rear holder provided at the housing,
wherein the rear holder is pivoted by contacting the temporarily retaining projection and the retaining step before the rear holder is retained in the temporarily retaining position.
2) A method of manufacturing a connector including a housing having a plurality of terminal housing chambers, and a rear holder adapted to be retained at a temporarily retaining position of the housing which connecting terminals are respectively housed in the plurality of terminal housing chambers and a regularly retaining position of the housing which the connecting terminals are respectively retained in the plurality of terminal housing chambers, the method comprising the steps of:
providing atemporarily retaining mold for molding and temporarily retaining the housing and the rear holder, the temporarily retaining mold including a fixed mold and a plurality of movable mold movable with respect to the fixed mold;
molding the housing and the rear holder in the temporarily retaining mold;
moving at least one the plurality of movable mold so that the rear holder are rotated with respect to the housing and retained at the temporarily retaining position.
3) a method of manufacturing a connector including a housing having a plurality of terminal housing chambers,. and a rear holder adapted to be retained at a temporarily retaining position of the housing which connecting terminals are respectively housed in the plurality of terminal housing chambers and a regularly retaining position of the housing which the


connecting terminals are respectively retained in the plurality of terminal housing chambers, the method comprising the steps of:
providing a temporarily retaining mold for molding and temporarily retaining the housing and the rear holder, the temporarily retaining mold including a fixed mold, a first movable mold for molding an outer shell of the housing and an inner shell of the rear holder, a second movable mold for movably supporting the first movable mold in an axial direction, a third movable mold for molding an outer shell of the rear holder, and a forth movable mold for molding and retaining a central portion of the housing;
molding the housing and the rear holder in the temporarily retaining mold;
separating the second movable mold from the fixed mold;
moving the first movable mold withrespect to the second movable mold and the housing so that the fourth movable mold partially retains the housing;
moving the third movable mold to a space which produced inside the third movable mold so that the rear holder are rotated with respect to the housing and retained at the temporarily retaining position.
In the connector with the rear holders thus arranged as described above, one of the rear holders includes the retaining hole and the retaining pawl having the stooping face inside the side piece of the rear holder; the temporarily retaining projection engaged with the retaining hole and having the tapered surface over its whole surface is provided on the side of the rear end portion of the housing, and the tapered retaining step engaged with the retaining


pawl is provided in the vicinity of the temporarily retaining projection; the stooping contact face for guiding the rear holder is provided on the surface of the rear end portion of the housing; and the rear holders both are pivoted by respectively contacting the temporarily retaining projections and the retaining steps before being temporarily retained.
Therefore, the rear holders are temporarily retained in the housing while being pivoted when the retaining holes and the retaining pawls of the rear holders are brought into contact with the respective temporarily retaining projections and the retaining steps of the housing and when the undersurfaces of the rear holders are brought into contact with the contact faces. In other words, as the retaining step and the contact face are pivoted on a relativelymold is moved, a relatively simple structure and a driving method can be adopted, which makes it possible to not only improve productivity but also obtain an inexpensive connector with rear holders.
In the method of producing a connector with rear holders thus arranged as described above, the temporarily retaining mold for molding and temporarily retaining the housing and the rear holders includes the fixed mold, the first movable mold for forming the outer shell of the housing and the inner shells of the rear holders, the second movable molds for movably supporting the first movable mold in the axial direction of the housing, the third movable molds for forming the outer shells of the rear holders, and the fourth movable mold for forming and holding the central portion


of the housing; and after the housing and the rear holders are molded in the mold, the second movable molds are estranged from the fixed mold and the first movable mold is moved back up to a position where the first movable mold holds the rear end portion of the housing, and the third movable molds are moved into the space produced inside the third movable molds, whereby the retaining holes of the rear holders are mated with the respective temporarily retaining projections; the rear holders are pivoted stoopingly on the temporarily retaining projections; the retaining pawls are mated with the retaining steps; and simultaneously the undersurfaces of the respective rear holders are brought into contact with the contact faces, so that the rear holders are temporarily retainedwhich stops George from suffering liver damage or falling into a coma.

Though the meeting was held back in December, this recommendation was first reported by the Times on Sunday. Critics worry that this advice is now part of a blueprint for future Mermaids training sessions with teachers and school staff.

"Puberty blocker medication doesn't make any changes," the trainer said during the meeting. Instead, it simply puts "a pause button on the pituitary gland and freezes puberty where it is." The biological processes "will recommence" as soon as the treatment is stopped.

This advice didn't sit well with one of the school support workers who attended the meeting. He taped the Mermaids trainer delivering this advice, and told the Times that he was concerned that thealso revealed that it had received funding from the UK's Department for Education through a program "overseen by the Government Equalities Office."

Earlier this year, a group of medical specialists in the US and UK warned about the long-term effects of puberty-blockers and hormonal drugs, calling them a "grave public health concern."


(CNN) -- An Australian man and his daughter have created a furor after going on television to admit an incestuous relationship which has produced two children.

John Deaves and his daughter Jenny pictured in the 60 Minutes interview.

John Deaves, 61, appeared on the 60 Minutes show with daughter Jenny, 39, and their child -- nine-month-old Celeste, Melbourne's The Age newspaper reported.

Last month Judge Steven Millsteed banned the couple from having sex with each other, but released them on a three-year, $460 good behavior bond. Court transcripts also revealed their first child died in 2001 from a congenital heart disorder.

The couple told 60 Minutes that they fell in love in 2000 when they "discovered each other later in life." Deaves had left the family home when Jenny was a baby,elbow fold and on the inner anterior part of the arm. Digital flexion with cyanosis was present. MR angiography revealed extensive oedema of the soft tissue and muscle with fascial effusion, associated with compression of the arm arteries and reduced blood flow in the forearm. A fasciotomy was performed at Day 3 of life. The postsurgical arterial MRI was normal. At Day 10 of life, the patient developed opisthotonos involving spasms and tremors associated with numerous intercritical abnormalities evoking benzodiazepine weaning syndrome. The child's neurological status was stabilized by treatment with phenobarbital and clonazepam. She was subsequently lost to follow-up. CVIC has been ascribed to multiples causes.

Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Protesters rally against anti-semitism

The number of anti-Semitic hate incidents recorded in the UK has reached a record high, Jewish charity the Community Security Trust says.

It recorded 1,805 anti-Semitic incidents last year, an increase of 7% on 2018's findings.

The charity, which also offers support to those affected, said there was a spike in online abuse.

Home Secretary Priti Patel said the figures were "appalling" and promised to do more "to tackle anti-Semitism."

She pledged to push for "greater collaboration, both across government, policing, the courts and community groups, to remove this shameful stain on our society".

Last year was the fourth year in a row in which a record number of hate inspired episodes were recorded.

Last month saw the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of theliberation of Auschwitz death camp.

Of the 1,805 incidents reported to the trust last year, 697 occurred online, an increase of 82% on 2018.

There was also a significant increase in the number of violent anti-Semitic assaults, which rose by 25%.

Almost two thirds of attacks occurred in Greater London (947) and Greater Manchester (223), which are home to the two largest Jewish communities in the UK.

The London Borough of Barnet, which has the largest Jewish population of any UK borough, reported the highest number of incidents, amounting to 18% of the national total.

The trust's chief executive, David Delew, said it was "no surprise" that recorded incidents had reached another high and argued that it was clear "social media


and mainstream politics are places where anti-Semitism and racism need to be driven out, if things are to improve in the future".

The trust said that the highest number of reported incidents occurred in February and December and coincided with periods where alleged anti-Semitism within the Labour Party was the subject of sustained discussion and activity.

February 2019 saw the defection of several Labour MPs to the newly formed Independent Group, some of whom cited anger over the party's response to allegations of anti-Semitism as their reasons for leaving.

Similarly, December saw an intense focus on the issue of anti-Semitism during the general election campaign.

In total, the trust recorded 224 incidents which were related to the Labour Party. This represented an increase from the 148 incidents of this kind in 2018.

Movie produced from images taken while Cassini flew inside the rings of Saturn – a first. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute)

The triumphant Cassini mission to Saturn will be coming to an end on September 15, when the spacecraft dives into the planet. Running out of fuel, NASA chose to end the mission that way rather than run the risk of having the vehicle wander and ultimately land on Europa or Enceladus, potentially contaminating two moons very high on the list of possible habitable locales in our solar system.

Both the science and the images coming back from this descent are (and will be) pioneering, as they bring to an end one of the most successful and revelatory missions in NASA history.

As NASA promised, the 22-dive descent has already produced some


of the most compelling images of Saturn and its rings. Most especially, Cassini has delivered the remarkable 21-image video above. The images were taken over a four minutes period on August 20 using a wide-angle camera.

The spacecraft captured the images from within the gap between the planet and its rings, looking outward as the spacecraft made one of its final dives through the ring-planet gap as part of the finale.

The entirety of the main rings can be seen here, but due to the low viewing angle, the rings appear extremely foreshortened. The perspective shifts from the sunlit side of the rings to the unlit side, where sunlight filters through.

On the sunlit side, the grayish C ring looks larger in the foreground because it is closer; beyond it isof “It will never work” doomsayers before hitting on what looks like the winning formula that proved the pessimists wrong.

1:22 Kevin De Bruyne has defended Manchester city team-mate Raheem Sterling Kevin De Bruyne has defended Manchester city team-mate Raheem Sterling

Manchester City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne believes Raheem Sterling has been subjected to unfair criticism and insists his club team-mate is a "very good guy".

Sterling courted controversy earlier this month when he was pictured with a tattoo of a gun on his leg after arriving late to England's World Cup training camp at St George's Park.

The 23-year-old apologised to his England team-mates for his late arrival and was backed by Three Lions boss Gareth Southgate over his tattoo, after explaining its "deeper meaning".

Sterling insists his preparation for the World Cup has been unaffected by the incidents and De Bruyne believes his club team-mate is placed under unfair scrutinyup against each other at the World Cup when England face Belgium in their final Group G fixture in Kaliningrad on June 28.

Sterling was pictured with a tattoo of a M16 assault rifle on his leg in England training

De Bruyne has urged Sterling to focus on his football ahead of the match and has backed his team-mate to deflect the criticism that has been levelled at him in recent days.

De Bruyne said: "Why do people talk about other people when they don't know why or for what reason?

"People are very quick to criticise other people without doing research and obviously social media is one of the bad things. Everyone has an opinion and it's very easy to give an opinion behind a keyboard.

PUEBLO — The Gateway to the Southwest is starting to take shape in Pueblo.

The framework for the foundation of the pillars have been built and project managers hope to have the first part of the sculpture put in by November.

"The public can see this as a real project. It's really going to influence the gateway to Pueblo and to the southwest by having a monumental statue and sculptures at the bridge," said Capital Projects Manager, Bill Zwick.

The sculpture is on pace to be complete by June of 2020.The timing of the whole fake impeachment scandal that's been manufactured once again by Deep State actors is incredibly suspect. As soon as the Russia Collusion Hoax was put to bed, this whistleblower complaint comes, alleging that President Trump initiated a quid pro quo on the Ukrainian president using mob-like tactics in order to take down a possible presidential rival in Joe Biden for the upcoming 2020 campaign.

One only needs to read the story in The Federalist by Sean Davis, "Intel Community Secretly Gutted Requirement of First-Hand Whistleblower Knowledge," to see that the whistleblower complaint was purposely concocted by certain Deep State actors since it became public shortly after the disclosure form had been changed from a person needing to have direct knowledge of wrongdoing to include only


hearing about wrongdoing from another person or persons.

The internal properties of the newly revised "Disclosure of Urgent Concern" form, which the intelligence community inspector general (ICIG) requires to be submitted under the Intelligence Community Whistleblower Protection Act (ICWPA), show that the document was uploaded on September 24, 2019, at 4:25 p.m., just days before the anti-Trump complaint was declassified and released to the public. The markings on the document state that it was revised in August 2019, but no specific date of revision is disclosed. The complaint alleges that President Donald Trump broke the law during a phone call with the Ukrainian president. In his complaint, which was dated August 12, 2019, the complainant acknowledged he was "not a direct witness" to the wrongdoing he claims Trump committed.Aguilar testified that he worked from 1998 to 2001 as a

surveillance agent for a law enforcement task force in the Philippines that

frequently targeted rival political figures—including, at various times, the

President, Vice President, members of the Philippine Congress, and members of

the press. Aguilar maintains that he did not know the extent of the task force’s

illegal activities while working for it, but this contention is belied by his own

testimony before the Immigration Judge. Aguilar testified that he knew, as early as

1998, that one of the targets of his surveillance disappeared and is presumed dead.

He further testified that his superiors informed him that other members of the task

force relied on his surveillance to abduct and murder another political figure in

2000. On at least two occasions Aguilar also heard his superiors order

Chronic Disease Management–A second fiddle to Cadillac Fairview's neighbouring Eaton Centre as a Downtown Toronto retail destination, the Atrium on Bay could soon be transformed into a flashier presence on Dundas Street West. Stretching across a full city block between Yonge and Bay streets, the deceptively dense complex—which features a floor area of almost 1 million ft²—is set to be expanded and architecturally re-imagined.

Looking northwest, image via submission to the City of Toronto

Five and six-storey additions are planned for the Atrium's paired 13- and 14-storey towers, with the shorter mid-block volume also slated to be extended via a one-storey addition.

At the west end of the site, the Bay Street frontage would also be re-configured, with the west building's footprint extended to

Architecturally, the Page + Steele / IBI Group-designed proposal presents an unapologetic aesthetic departure from the existing complex. Completed in 1981, the project was actually designed by the same firm—then known only as Page + Steele—now charged with expanding the complex. Undulating extrusions would cap the expanded towers, with a pair of angular red additions perched atop the shorter mid-block volume providing access to new rooftop amenity terraces.

A closer look at the west tower and mid-block addition, image via submission to the City of Toronto

While the additions would introduce highly conspicuous elements to the complex, the existing tower exteriors would by contrast be made more rectilinear. Currently defined by a series off extrusions that aestheticallydivide the body of each tower into a series of bays, the redevelopment would effectively strip away the Atrium on Bay's existing architectural context in favour of a new aesthetic, while removing the signature atriums from public access.

The new Minor Variance Application—which arguably proposes more than a 'minor' change—to the Committee of Adjustment (CoA), advances an expansion plan that was provisionally tabled to the City of Toronto in 2011, with a zoning amendment approving more architecturally restrained five-storey additions approved in 2014. The current proposal is set to be reviewed by the CoA in July. So far, the project has been met with a largely negative reception on the UT Forum.

UMUC Sweeps Maryland Cyber Challenge Competition

University of Maryland University College (UMUC) swept both divisions of the Maryland Cyber Challenge yesterday, capturing first place in the collegiate and pro divisions. The cyber security competition was part of the third annual CyberMaryland conference held at the Baltimore Convention Center.

Each member of the first-place team in the collegiate division won a $5,000 scholarship cash prize. Members of the first-place pro team each won a $2,000 cash prize.

The Capture the Flag competition required teams to score points by hacking into a server and planting a flag (i.e., a digital signature) in that server. Points were also scored when a team hacked into a server and planted their flag. In some cases, other teams may have planted their own flag on that server,Not only is Batman the World's Greatest Detective, he's also one of the best superheroes there is.

During the inauguration, off-color tweets began trickling in targeting 10-year-old Barron as he appeared behind his father during the various televised events of the day. Almost immediately, those jokes were condemned as inappropriate by people from both sides of the aisle. Journalists, comedians, and prominent political figures across the spectrum rushed to defend Barron, a child who did not ask to be put in the spotlight.

Perhaps the most notable response came from Chelsea Clinton, a former first child who faced her own media bullying. Clinton tweeted he deserves “to be a kid” while also vaguely alluding

General Motors, a late-comer to the hybrid game, is looking at a car that can run on less gas but needs to be recharged.

By Chris Isidore, CNNMoney.com senior writer

June 23, 2006: 3:50 PM EDT

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -
GM, which has trailed some of its competitors in offering fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles, is looking at a new version known as "plug-in hybrids" not yet on the market, which can offer drivers even better mileage, according to someone familiar with company plans.

Hybrid vehicles depend on both a gasoline-powered engine and an electric motor.

GM is working on developing a "plug-in" hybrid, which like its former EV1 electric car, would need to be recharged but could run on all electric power much of the time.

Sometimes buyers avoid hybrids for the wrong reasons. But, forone or the other."

GM has been offering hybrid versions of its full-size pickups, the Chevrolet Silverado and the GMC Sierra, since 2004, and it is due to roll out a hybrid version of the Saturn Vue crossover SUV this fall

.

Target of environmentalists' wrath

The company offered a limited production of an electric-only car, the EV1, for five years starting in 1996. But it was never more than a niche product, selling only 411 in 2000, the last year they were available.

The company has come under criticism from the environmental movement for not backing the product, with the automaker being portrayed as one of the major villains in a documentary, "Who killed the electric car?" The movie will open in limited release June 28, and is scheduled to be in


33rd Division Redeployed After Years of Waiting

Ostrava, Czech Republic – Craneballs today proudly introduces 33rd Division 1.0.1, their newest game for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. 33rd Division is a stealth-action game from World War 2 that draws inspiration from the masterpiece game Commandos. Players become leaders of the famous 33rd Division and must lead the men past German patrols unnoticed and unharmed. The game requires tactical thinking and quick reactions.

Storyline:
The War is under way and the Allies desperately need reinforcements to secure their position on the front. Only you can provide enough Engineers, Medics and Sargeants to win the war. You draw the line between glory and defeat!

The complicated history of the long-term re-deployment:
Craneballs originally released the game in 2009, but took it down, because they feltit was outdated. The game saw great reactions (and made it top 5 overall in Germany) and Craneballs intended to polish the game up and put it back online.

Congratulations, Orlando, for making yet another list – this one as one of the top 23 of the largest 50 cities in the nation where the rent is too damn high. So high that millennials – those born in in the 1980s, 1990s or early 2000s (aka, the Insubordinate Generation that business magazines are constantly trying to give corporate America advice listicles about) – can't afford to move out of their parents' houses. At least not without living in a slummy apartment or having a bunch of roommates.Bloomberg reports that its real-estate listing site, Zillow, researched what millennials make compared to the number of affordable rentals available in their cities ("affordable" is defined as 30 percent or less of household income) and foundthat across the nation, only 36 percent of rentals on the market around the nation could be considered affordable for millennials, and in many cities (including Orlando) that number was far lower. Zillow says that less than 30 percent of rentals in Orlando could be considered affordable for those making an average millennial salary. In Miami, the problem is far worse, with less than 10 percent of rental units meeting the affordability mark. That was the least affordable city on the Bloomberg/Zillow list, followed by Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, San Diego, Boston ... and Orlando at No. 7. In fact, Orlando is practically neck-and-neck with Boston for its dearth of affordable apartments.


KABUL, Afghanistan — An election complaints agency on Thursday invalidated all of the votes cast in Kabul Province in October’s parliamentary election, more than a million in all, over fraud allegations, pushing the country toward another political crisis just as a top American diplomat arrived to build momentum for peace talks with the Taliban.

The ruling set up a stalemate with the agency administering the vote, the Independent Election Commission. The commission said it would ignore the decision invalidating the votes — which would ordinarily require a new election within seven days — and would certify the results of Kabul’s vote in the coming days.

It was unclear how the dispute would be resolved. The complaints agency did not describe the fraud accusations in detail, but it called for theJobless claims point to healing in labor market

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of Americans filing new claims for jobless benefits fell last week and a trend reading hit a near five-year low, signs a grinding recovery in the labor market remains on track.

Other reports on Thursday showed many top U.S. retailers had strong sales in January even as customers were hit with higher taxes, while productivity at businesses slumped in the fourth quarter.

Initial claims for state unemployment benefits dropped by 5,000 to a seasonally adjusted 366,000, the Labor Department said. That was enough to pull down a four-week moving average of new claims, a gauge of the trend


in layoffs, by 2,250 to 350,500, its lowest since March 2008.

"The labor market is improving, but certainly not at a robust rate by any means," said Russell Price, an economist at Ameriprise Financial in Troy, Michigan.

While employers have pulled back on layoffs, they have only added jobs at a lackluster pace. Economists say the tepid labor market recovery means the Federal Reserve is likely to keep buying bonds into next year to keep U.S. borrowing costs low.

In a sign of the difficulty many people have in finding a job, the number of people still receiving benefits under regular state programs after an initial week of aid increased 8,000 to 3.22 million in the week ended January 26.

The data came as little surprise to U.S. financial markets, which focusededged higher from December when adjusted for seasonal swings.

Consumers are borrowing rather readily, a sign of confidence in the recovery. Consumer credit increased by $14.59 billion in December, the Federal Reserve said in a report.

The gains were driven by the biggest increase in non-revolving credit, which includes student and auto loans, since November 2001. That was shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks when automakers were offering zero-percent financing and other incentives to lure consumers back to their showrooms.

Separately, the Labor Department said U.S. nonfarm productivity fell in the fourth quarter by the most in nearly two years as output increased only marginally despite steady gains in employment.

Productivity declined at a 2 percent annual rate, the sharpest drop since the first quarter of 2011 and a larger fall

December 4, 2013|By Harvey Fialkov, Sun Sentinel

While Jets forward Olli Jokinen hasn’t been on the Panthers since 2008, a couple of his teammates, winger Michael Frolik and defenseman Keaton Ellerby are more recent castoffs who have hit their strides in Winnipeg.

Frolik, the 10th overall pick by Florida in 2006, took a detour to Chicago in 2011 where his penalty killing and 10 playoff points eventually helped the Blackhawks win the Stanley Cup last season.

“Ups and downs,’’ said Frolik, 25, of his time in Florida where he notched 21 goals in each of his first two seasons before stagnating under then coach Pete DeBoer. “I had some good years but at the same time we didn’t go anywhere as a team.’’

Days Of Wild Skies (Exit Condition)

From the West Midlands town of Stoke On Trent, Exit Condition were part of the mid 80’s UK melodic punk/hardcore scene that spawned the likes of Snuff, Leatherface and er…Ok, so nothing major came out of that particular punk rock time line...or did it?

By the mid eighties, the whole UK 82/Anarcho/Oi! thing that had constituted punk in the UK during the early part of the decade was all but dead. The current re writing of history will have you believe that in it’s place, the only worthwhile new guitar music being made in the UK at the time was the C86 scene being championed by the NME. Wrong! Indie pop certainly left it's mark but at the same time, underthe surface, a new punk scene was emerging.

The first new UK bands that I became aware of were the Stupids and A.Y.S. Both bands dressed in jeans, t shirts and trainers (which after the leather jacket and mohican years was actually considered a radical fashion statement in punk circles!) and were obviously following the US hardcore template, A.Y.S even covering a Minor Threat song on their first EP (again, another radical move when out of all the great bands that emerged from the heyday of US hardcore, only one, the Dead Kennedys, had been truly accepted by the UK82 generation). From there, Maximum Rock ‘n’ Roll began to carry UK scene reports which mentioned a whole host of new UK bands, Heresy, Generic, HDQ…The NME even began to


take notice, coining their own short lived name for the new scene-Britcore! For a short time at least, the new bands were all part of something new and exciting and it was possible to mention Napalm Death and Mega City Four in the same breath despite the major difference in the bands respective sounds as they were part of the scene that was dragging UK punk kicking a screaming into a new era. It didn’t last of course. Napalm Death and their ilk crossed over into metal while Mega City Four and Senseless Things flirted with the mainstream and the lower reaches of the charts. Somewhere in the middle though, the new punk scene was up and running, thriving on a diet of DIY gigs and tours, fanzinesthem strikingly whimsical; it is a surprise to find them in some cases
far more distinctly conceived than any of the people in Roderick Random
or Peregrine Pickle.  In the second of these, we saw Smollett beginning
to understand the use of incident to indicate consistent development of
character.  In Count Fathom, he seems fully to understand this principle
of art, though he has not learned to apply it successfully.  And so, in
spite of an excellent conception, Fathom, as I have said, is unreal.
After all his villainies, which he perpetrates without any apparent
qualms of conscience, it is incredible that he should honestly repent of
his crimes.  We are much inclined to doubt when we read that "his vice
and ambition was now quite mortified within him," the subsequent
testimony of Matthew Bramble,


with all the sentiments and emotions of my breast?

A novel is a large diffused picture, comprehending the characters of
life, disposed in different groups, and exhibited in various attitudes,
for the purposes of an uniform plan, and general occurrence, to which
every individual figure is subservient.  But this plan cannot be executed
with propriety, probability, or success, without a principal personage to
attract the attention, unite the incidents, unwind the clue of the
labyrinth, and at last close the scene, by virtue of his own importance.

Almost all the heroes of this kind, who have hitherto succeeded on the
English stage, are characters of transcendent worth, conducted through
the vicissitudes of fortune, to that goal of happiness, which ever ought
to be the repose of extraordinary desert.--Yet the same principle by
which we rejoice at the remuneration ofhusband's country, between which and
Old England she drew many odious comparisons; and prayed, without
ceasing, that Europe might speedily be involved in a general war, so as
that she might have some chance of re-enjoying the pleasures and
emoluments of a Flanders campaign.

While she wearied Heaven with these petitions, the flame of war broke out
betwixt the houses of Ottoman and Austria, and the Emperor sent forth an
army into Hungary, under the auspices of the renowned Prince Eugene.  On
account of this expedition, the mother of our hero gave up housekeeping,
and cheerfully followed her customers and husband into the field; having
first provided herself with store of those commodities in which she had
formerly merchandised.  Although the

death according to their demerits.

CHAPTER FIVE

A BRIEF DETAIL OF HIS EDUCATION.

Nothing could have more seasonably happened to confirm the good opinion
which the colonel entertained of Ferdinand's principles.  His intentions
towards the boy grew every day more and more warm; and, immediately after
the peace of Passarowitz, he retired to his own house at Presburg, and
presented young Fathom to his lady, not only as the son of a person to
whom he owed his life, but also as a lad who merited his peculiar
protection and regard by his own personal virtue.  The Countess, who was
an Hungarian, received him with great kindness and affability, and her
son was ravished with the prospect of enjoying such a companion.  In
short, fortune seemed to have provided for him an asylum,in such
a manner, as confirmed their conjectures, while he pretended to refute
them, and at the same time acquired to himself credit for his
extraordinary discretion and self-denial.

If he exhibited such a proof of sagacity in the twelfth year of his age,
what might not be expected from his finesse in the maturity of his
faculties and experience?  Thus secured in the good graces of the whole
family, he saw the days of his puerility glide along in the most
agreeable elapse of caresses and amusement.  He never fairly plunged into
the stream of school-education, but, by floating on the surface, imbibed
a small tincture of those different sciences which his master pretended
to teach.  In short, he resembled those vagrant swallows that skim along
the level of some pool or river, without venturing to


the
language of her father.  Such connexions naturally produce intimacy and
friendship.  Fathom's person was agreeable, his talents calculated for
the meridian of those parties, and his manners so engaging, that there
would have been no just subject for wonder, had he made an impression
upon the tender unexperienced heart of Mademoiselle de Melvil, whose
beauty was not so attractive as to extinguish his hope, in raising up a
number of formidable rivals; though her expectations of fortune were such
as commonly lend additional lustre to personal merit.

All these considerations were so many steps towards the success of
Ferdinand's pretensions; and though he cannot be supposed to have
perceived them at first, he in the sequel seemed perfectly well apprised
of his advantages, and used them to the full extent of his faculties.
Observing that she delighted inbe naturally expected from common
friendship, and a compassionate disposition, and was very much mortified
at his disappointment.

Whether the miscarriage actually affected his constitution, or the doctor
happened to be mistaken in his diagnostics, we shall not pretend to
determine; but the patient was certainly treated secundum artem, and all
his complaints in a little time realised; for the physician, like a true
graduate, had an eye to the apothecary in his prescriptions; and such was
the concern and scrupulous care with which our hero was attended, that
the orders of the faculty were performed with the utmost punctuality.  He
was blooded, vomited, purged, and blistered, in the usual forms (for the
physicians of Hungary are generally as well skilled in the arts of their
occupation as any other leeches under the sun), and swallowed a whole
dispensary of


did not bear a strong analogy to the savage tyrants of
the wood.  One resembled a tiger in fury and rapaciousness; a second
prowled about like an hungry wolf, seeking whom he might devour; a third
acted the part of a jackal, in beating the bush for game to his voracious
employer; and the fourth imitated the wily fox, in practising a thousand
crafty ambuscades for the destruction of the ignorant and unwary.  This
last was the department of life for which he found himself best qualified
by nature and inclination; and he accordingly resolved that his talent
should not rust in his possession.  He was already pretty well versed in
all the sciences of play; but he had every day occasion to see these arts
carried to such a surprising pitch of finesse andand Fathom, in order to
profit by the alliance with a good grace, contrived a small scheme that
succeeded to his wish.  Renaldo being one night intoxicated in the course
of a merry-making with his fellow-pupils, from which Fathom had purposely
absented himself, was by the Tyrolese so artfully provoked to play, that
he could not resist the temptation, but engaged at passdice with that
fell adversary, who, in less than an hour, stripped him of a pretty round
sum.  Next day, when the young gentleman recovered the use of his
reflection, he was sensibly chagrined at the folly and precipitation of
his own conduct, an account of which he communicated in confidence to our
hero, with demonstrations of infinite shame and concern.

Ferdinand, having moralised upon the subject with great sagacity, and
sharply inveighed against the Tyrolese,


and never doubting that he
could insinuate himself into the good graces of some married lady about
court, or lay an opulent dowager under contribution.  But he met with an
obstacle in his endeavours of this kind, which all his art was unable to
surmount.  This was no other than the obscurity of his birth, and the
want of a title, without which no person in that country lays claim to
the privileges of a gentleman.  Had he foreseen this inconvenience he
might have made shift to obviate the consequences, by obtaining
permission to appear in the character of the Count's kinsman; though, in
all probability, such an expedient would not have been extremely
agreeable to the old gentleman, who was very tenacious of the honour of
his family; nevertheless, his generosity might have been prevailedwith whom he was connected; and that he must of necessity fall a
prey to those banditti, unless he should have the good fortune to elude
their search, and disentangle himself from the mazes of the wood.

Harrowed with these apprehensions, he resolved to commit himself to the
mercy of the hurricane, as of two evils the least, and penetrate
straightforwards through some devious opening, until he should be
delivered from the forest. For this purpose he turned his horse's head in
a line quite contrary to the direction of the high road which he had
left, on the supposition that the robbers would pursue that track in
quest of him, and that they would never dream of his deserting the
highway, to traverse an unknown forest, amidst the darkness of such a
boisterous night.  After he had
