Located in the city of Valladolid, Spain, the Tempranillo grapes selected for this young red wine had the privilege of growing at an altitude of just over 3,000ft; the highest growing area of the Ribera del Duero wine region. Pinna Fidelis’ 5-10 year-old vines cultivated at this height benefit from limestone soil and ever-changing temperatures. While their yield is not large, the resulting grapes maturing under these conditions slowly ripen with high concentrations of quality juice.

The 2010 Vendimia Seleccionada is deep violet-red in color and delivers a rich and complex nose of black fruit, preserves, vanilla, toffee and spices with a hint of minerality.

The stipulation specifically noted that the court retained jurisdiction to adjudicate the remaining issues raised by the parties relating to back rent, costs and attorney's fees. A final judgment for possession was entered by the court effective January 4, 1988. The case was then transferred to circuit court as some money damages claimed by Colonial exceeded $5,000.00.
During the circuit court trial, Colonial represented that it was seeking back rent and other elements of damages.

surprise, really).

In the next edition of the MI Catholic (of which I have apparently disposed), this sister who is a member of a rather progressive religious order (you know, ditch the habit, New Age “spirituality,” modernism up the wazoo, and orthodoxy thrown out the window along with orthopraxy), writes a caterwauling letter to the editor where she opines how very happy she was that someone in the Church was finally realizing that racism is a sin.

Sister, where have you been? Typical myopic view of the Church that can be found with that “group” with in Holy Church (though their authentic membership is an object of debate in some places).

But wait, it gets better.

So once she got that off her chest, she moves on to further opine something toshould expect nothing less. lol

Senior figures in the Scottish financial services industry have clashed over how independence would affect business.

Industry body Scottish Financial Enterprise (SFE) said higher costs and complexity would hamper competitiveness following independence.

A briefing paper also insisted a new financial regulator would be required.

But a group including the former chief executive of RBS has said independence could lead to more jobs and investment.

The clash came ahead of the Scottish independence referendum, on 18 September.

The financial services industry employs about 100,000 people in Scotland directly, and another 100,000 indirectly.

In its briefing paper on Scottish independence, SFE said there were "some major risks and uncertainties" around independence, including the nature and cost of any new regulatoryas "politically neutral", insisted the paper was a briefing for its members rather than a formal position adopted by its board.

It states: "Many of the most important questions about the consequences of a 'Yes' vote cannot be answered before it occurs. Uncertainty is extensive and likely to continue for some time after such a vote.

"Compared with the business environment as it stands, greater cost and complexity are certain. The industry will have to reconfigure to deal with the changed political landscape."

In response, a group of financial services figures led by Sir George Mathewson said there were "significant opportunities in an independent Scotland".

In a letter to the Financial Times newspaper, Sir George, the former chairman and chief executive of RBS, said there were "certainly opportunities to attract more jobs


and investment to Scotland".

The letter, which was signed by business figures including former SFE executive director James Scott, fund manager Angus Tulloch, and Prof David Simpson, a former advisor to Standard Life, insisted that staying in the Union presented uncertainty around taxes, regulation and whether the UK would remain a part of the EU.

Image copyright AFP/Getty Image caption Industry body Scottish Financial Enterprise said independence carried 'some major risks'

It stated: "Any truly objective analysis of what the referendum means for business requires a more thoughtful consideration of the UK's current trajectory."

Martin Gilbert, chief executive of global investment group Aberdeen Asset Management, said of the SFE briefing: "Our position is neutral.

"It's unfortunate that the document really just outlines all the negatives rather than being balanced ... it's unfortunate thatit hasn't come from the board of SFE."

Scottish Finance Secretary John Swinney said it was clear the independence debate attracted diverse views from across the financial services sector.

He added: "SFE set out many similar arguments ahead of devolution about taxation and uncertainty which have been shown to be misplaced, but in any event this is simply a briefing note from SFE officials, and not the view of the industry or of organisations within it.

"The reality is that Scotland is a wealthy country, with a successful financial services industry which is more than capable of thriving under any constitutional position - a position recently recognised by the chief executive of SFE."

However, Alistair Darling, the former chancellor and leader of the pro-Union Better Together campaign, said independence would put jobs


at risk.

"This is another serious report from impartial experts which makes the case that Scotland is better being part of the UK and the UK is better with Scotland at its heart," he added.

"The financial services industry is vital to Scotland's economy, particularly in Glasgow and Edinburgh.

"Being part of the larger UK is vital in sustaining these jobs and generating the money to pay for schools and hospitals, pensions and benefits. It's clear that independence would put this at risk and cost jobs in Scotland."It looks as though all Senate Republicans will vote to confirm, with Vice President Mike Pence available if needed as a backup.

the opportunities in the market for stakeholders and provides details of the competitive landscape for market leaders. It strategically profiles key players and comprehensively analyzes their core competencies.

The research methodology used to estimate and forecast the size of the market started with capturing data on 3D concrete printed projects, value of each commercialized 3D concrete printed project through secondary research from sources such as companies� websites, articles on 3D concrete printing, and partnership reports on 3D printed construction. Vendor offerings were taken into consideration to determine the market segmentation. The bottom-up procedure was employed to arrive at the overall size of the market by estimating the value of each 3D concrete printed project. After arriving at the overall market size, the total market was split into the offeringsprinting technique for buildings and infrastructure.

The building sector dominated the market in 2017, in terms of both value and volume, as a result of the rising need for affordable houses, coupled with the trend toward the development of complex building structures. This sector is also projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

Europe dominated the 3D concrete printing market in 2017, in terms of value. Russia contributes a major share to the European market. The rise in new residential construction activities and increase in demand for complex building structures at affordable costs are driving the demand for 3D concrete printing in the region. The presence of key market players such as XtreeE (France), Monolite UK (UK), Apis Cor (Russia), CyBe Construction (Netherlands), and Sika (Switzerland)


further contributes to the leading share of Europe in the global market.

The Middle East is projected to be the fastest-growing market for 3D concrete printing from 2018 to 2023. The supportive government initiatives such as �Dubai 3D Printing Strategy,� high labor costs, and demand for affordable homes from middle and low-income groups drive the growth of the 3D concrete printing market here. In 2017, the UAE was the largest country-level market in the region.

Lack of awareness about automation techniques in the construction industry acts as the major challenge in the growth of the market. The global 3D concrete printing market is dominated by players such as Winsun (China), XtreeE (France), Monolite UK (UK), Apis Cor (Russia), CSP s.r.l. (Italy), CyBe Construction (Netherlands), and Sika (Switzerland).

IS claims beheading US journalist

"
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, more than 6,000 rebel fighters have joined the IS in July this year. "

Damascus, Aug 20 - The Islamic State (IS) group has claimed beheading a US journalist who had gone missing in Syria nearly two years ago, a media report said Wednesday.

The Sunni militant group has released a video showing one of its fighters beheading James Foley, an employee of the media company GlobalPost who was kidnapped November 22, 2012 by unidentified gunmen, Al Jazeera reported.

The IS militants said that they acted in revenge for US strikes against the group in Iraq and threatened to kill another US journalist.

The life of this American citizen, (US President Barack) Obama, depends on your next decision, said amasked man in the video titled A Message To America which was posted on social media sites Tuesday.

The video could not immediately be verified.

We have seen a video that purports to be the murder of US citizen James Foley by IS. The intelligence community is working as quickly as possible to determine its authenticity, Caitlin Hayden, a spokesperson for the US National Security Council, said Wednesday.

The IS, formerly known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS), established in June an Islamic caliphate in the territories under their control in Syria and Iraq. Since then, they have indulged in sustained persecution of non-Sunnis and other religious communities.

Members of the Church may sometimes forget that the gold plates and the Book of Mormon don’t say the same things. One contains the writings of an ancient people in a lost language and the other is a translation of those writings into the English language made during the 19th century. Our Primary children sing about Moroni burying golden plates in a mountainside. The record was made by Nephites, but the story is retold in the Book of Mormon.

So what exactly does it mean to retell the story of the gold plates? BYU scholar Nick Frederick focuses his research on how the Book of Mormon retells the story with the use of the New Testament, which was familiar to Joseph Smith and early members of the Church. Heby studying its intertextuality with the New Testament:

1. The Gospel of Matthew appears the most often.

In addition to the wording from Matthew 5–7 in 3 Nephi 12–14, language from Matthew appears frequently throughout the Book of Mormon. This includes several phrases from Matthew 3 appearing in Alma the Younger’s discourse to the city of Zarahemla in Alma 5. The five Matthean sermons of Jesus, Matthew 5–7, 10, 13, 18, and 24–25 appear frequently throughout the Book of Mormon, as does language from Jesus’s discussion with Peter in Matthew 16. This shows that Book of Mormon instruction often echoes that found in the Gospel of Matthew.

2. Language from the Book of Revelation appears in key doctrinal sections of the Book of Mormon.

Nephi’s vision of the Tree of Life in


or else perhaps the language and context of the epistles was too limited to be useful to the translation of the Book of Mormon.

5. We can learn important lessons from how the Book of Mormon adapts the New Testament.

Alma 19 and John 11 tell similar stories, namely the raising of someone who is thought to be dead. Not only are the stories similar, but there are six phrases in common between the two stories, further strengthening the connection. Comparing these stories side-by-side, four important figures (Lazarus, Jesus, Mary, and Martha) in John are mirrored by four figures in Alma (King Lamoni, Ammon, Abish, and the Lamanite Queen). By drawing our attention to John 11, we could read Alma 19 expecting something similar to play out, namely that Ammonwill raise King Lamoni, just as Jesus did Lazarus, while the two women remain bystanders. But the Book of Mormon instead has the servant woman, Abish, act to raise the Lamanite queen, who in turn takes Lamoni by the hand and raises him. By placing these two Lamanite women in the narrative role of Jesus, the Book of Mormon highlights them and suggests that the Book of Mormon has more to say about women than we often give it credit.

To hear more interesting intertextual connections, listen to this episode of the LDS Perspectives Podcast where scholar Nick Frederick discusses the fascinating presence of the New Testament in the Book of Mormon translation of the Gold Plates.

Nicholas J. Frederick served a mission in Brussels, Belgium, then attended BYU where he received his BA in classics and his MA in comparative studies. He then attended Claremont Graduate University, where he completed a Ph.D. in the history of Christianity with an emphasis in Mormon studies, after which he returned to work at BYU. His research focuses primarily on the intertextual relationship between the text of the Bible and Mormon scripture. He enjoys teaching courses on the Book of Mormon and the New Testament, particularly the writings of Paul and the Book of Revelation.expansion of urbanism is bringing bird species closer to humans. Many species are quite common in our backyards, and go through their entire life cycles among us. Urban gardens have become important nesting sites for many birds, such as Northern Cardinal, House Finch, and Chickadees. Comparison studies of breeding and clutch success indicate that birds in the wild are more successful breeders than urban birds. These studies point to the food factor as one of the main problems for birds in urban areas. The lack of insects due to pesticides and insect control, endemic fruits, berries, native grasslands and invasive species all become a disadvantage for urban birds when compared with birds in the forest or in rural areas.

and entertainment company within the Caribbean region. The initial goal of the company was to establish an effective gaming entity, which has now evolved into a wide band of entertainment companies and gaming brands. All these have permanently been ingrained in the Caribbean fabric, particularly in Jamaica.

Founded in 1995, Supreme Ventures has grown to become one of the best gaming brands provider in the region. The initial founders were Paul Hoo, who acted as the chairman in the past, the deputy chairman as at then, Ian Levy and lastly, the late Peter Stewart. Back in 2001, the company started its lottery with the help of 28 employees. Operations began with two games of the three it was allowed to provide. These were the Cash Pot and Lucky 5.Later on in 2003, Dollaz! was introduced.

Right from the start, Supreme Ventures enhanced its reputation as one of the best and dynamic organizations in the country and by December 2003 had already attained 100% shareholding in the Jamaica Lottery Company (JLC). These developments made Supreme Ventures the biggest gaming company in Jamaica. Owing to its efforts in operations, the lottery became a profitable venture.

The growth of Supreme Ventures has been on the increase and in August 2009, the company was the first to offer mega-millions multijurisdictional lottery services for interested parties within the Caribbean region reaching out to eight countries. To date, Supreme Ventures provides 11 lottery games via a network of 1200 agents. The Company also takes a corporate social responsibility through its foundation where millions have


Exorcism: Live! Destination America to air first live televised exorcism

When there’s something strange in your neighborhood — and it hasn’t disappeared for over 60 years — who ya gonna call? Real-life paranormal investigators, apparently.

EW can exclusively reveal that Destination America will air the first live televised exorcism in the U.S. with the upcoming special Exorcism: Live!

Starring psychic medium Chip Coffey and the cast of Ghost Asylum (perhaps better known as the Tennessee Wraith Chasers), the special will focus on their investigation of the house that inspired the Exorcist novel and film in the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri.

This is not the first time that an exorcism has been televised — in 1971, NBC aired the first-ever televised exorcism. However, this is the first time that an exorcism willwas in humans.

In a presentation on how GMO seeds were made, he outlined challenges traditional crops faced over the years and how climate change, poor rainfall and crop diseases had impacted on crop yields.

He said these factors called for modification of crop varieties using modern technologies that had become necessary, and noted that biotechnology was one of the best tools in plant breeding, adding that, the use of the method could be used to engineer crops to withstand pests and diseases as well as harsh climatic conditions.

Responding to farmers concerns on the technology, the Director assured farmers that intensive research was conducted in collaboration with research institutions such as the Savannah Agricultural Research Institute (SARI), and the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) among others.

Even though he


indicated that there was no release of GMOs in Ghana, he stressed that crops from such technologies were taken through rigorous assessment before they are released for.

He noted that currently, such releases were only done in confined field trials conducted by SARI and CSIR and other research institutions.

With the assurance of works done by these research institutions, he indicated that Ghana was ready and capable going GMOs. However, according to him, the onus depended on perceptions of the general public and also purely driven by the needs of farmers.

In an interview with the Ghana News Agency on the sideline of the workshop, the Prof Danso noted that there was no public application for release of GMOs on large scale for planting, and added that, challenges in the adoptionin Ghana in the development and commercialisation of GMOs said the conventions included the Rio Convention on Biological Diversity adopted in 1992, the passage of Bio safety laws in 2011, among others and assured the participants of the safety in going GMO.

Mr John Atia, a farmer from Apam Yine Farms in Balungu said his fears had been allayed about importation of the GMO seeds and added that fears about monopoly and access to seeds were the initial concerns.

Mr Atia pledged his support for biotechnology and the fact that seeds would be produced in Ghana for farmers and noted that it would help farmers to produce more.

In attendance were members of the peasant farmers Associations, and personnel from the Ministry of Food and Agriculture (MoFA).

As I discussed with him, he agrees like most of the authors, he is also into writing for his personal satisfaction but even more than that he inclines more towards his aesthetic enthusiasm. He says that criticism of his work does not stop him from writing but go back to it and see what made the particular person to say so. He says his writing has evolved due to these reviews and looking back.

Tarek does not write at a specific spot for due to the nature of his work (IT) as well as regular day-to-day responsibilities, but then he does begin to write whenever he is inspired. He says that last time the muse appeared on his flight back from Morocco.

"I've never met a girl or guy in the industry that's told me, 'this is what I wanted to do when I was a kid,'" he said.

Since he was 17 years old, Gross knew he wanted to be a pastor and founded XXXchurch.com when he saw that porn was a huge problem for his youth group.

"Average pay for a girl in porn is less than a $1,000," Gross said. "The lifestyle that she had to maintain, to do this, you know, living in Hollywood, or all this kind of craziness around her, it's not really even great money."

Given Gross' convictions, it is surprising that one of his close friends is Ron Jeremy, the world's most famous porn star.

Jeremy started working in the porn industry in 1978, when heand his then-girlfriend sent pictures to "Playgirl" magazine. Since then, he has appeared in more than 2,000 films. Once an aspiring actor, he has parlayed his fame as a porn star to get small non-porn roles in movies, including "Reindeer Games," and cameos in 48 music videos, including for Kid Rock's hit song, "Cowboy."

While Jeremy has had sex with countless women, on and off screen, Gross has only had sex with one -- his wife of 15 years, Jeanette.

"I've been with a couple thousand women. Craig has been with his wife a couple thousand times. Same thing," Jeremy said.

Yet the two have become fast friends. In fact, Jeremy hangs out at Gross' house with his family, but the pastor's kids are in the dark about what "Uncle Ron"


does for a living.

Gross and Jeremy met at a porn convention seven years ago. They eventually started touring college campuses and debating one another on the pros and cons of porn. In 2008, the two participated in a "Nightline Face-Off" discussion at Yale University.

Since then, the odd couple has spent countless hours on the road together, preaching different gospels, and along the way, became friends.

"On stage you see us battle it out about the industry," Gross said. "I think our relationship, though, if you could be in a car with us driving, whenever there is a line of students outside a college to see us, it's me and Ron driving in, and Ron will be like, 'quick, I gotta duck,' and Ron is ducking because we can't letaccording to U.N. data. By claiming that they feared for their safety, the Central Americans were not subject, as are other unauthorized migrants, to ordinary deportation; they were entitled to press their asylum claims. But Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, who oversees ICE, heard from border patrollers that the emergency was brewing momentum: People kept coming because word was out that the United States was granting permisos to new arrivals, allowing them to walk right into the country.

According to lawmakers and administration officials, Johnson determined that the United States could cut down the surge only by demonstrating that asylum seekers wouldn’t receive leniency. Johnson won approval from the White House to explore ramping up family detention for asylum seekers on a scale never before seen in America, part


real estate, or hamburgers.” But behind that pitch, CCA was a mega-sized business — one that pays its chief executive $3.4 million and has on its payroll a slew of former senior government officials.

Immigration activists say CCA had already proved itself incapable of running a family detention center. Between 2006 and 2009 — the only other major U.S. attempt to house women and children seeking asylum — CCA ran a facility in Taylor, Tex. Children wore prison uniforms, received little education and were limited to one hour of play time per day, according to an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit filed against ICE in 2007 that led months later to a settlement agreement and improved conditions. Months after taking office, Obama closed the facility.

At ICE, officials saw thereboot of family detention as a welcome, if belated, sign of strength on the border. CCA was one of the two companies with the “means” to pull it off, along with GEO, said Phil Miller, an ICE deputy executive associate director who helps to oversee family detention. It could build a new facility quickly and had a legion of staff members with the right security clearances. (GEO, which referred all questions to ICE, ended up refurbishing a smaller facility.)

In forging their deal, CCA and ICE faced one major hurdle: the requirement for a public bidding process — one that threatened to significantly delay construction. So CCA found a workaround. In September 2014, the company approached Eloy, Ariz., an interstate town of 17,000, and asked its officials if they


would be willing to amend its existing contract with the town. The company had been operating a detention center for undocumented men in Eloy since 2006. If Eloy modified that contract — essentially, directing CCA to build a new facility in another state, 1,000 miles away — the federal government would be freed from the bidding process. And by reaching out to a town already involved with the industry, CCA could also avoid the political risks that often come when trying to convince a new locality to build a detention center.

The deal is formed by two separate agreements: One between ICE and Eloy, the other between Eloy and CCA. Both were signed on the same day and refer to the family detention center in Dilley. As spelled outDubai Culture unveils 8th 'Live our Heritage Festival'

Bryan is a 10-year-old boy who is brought to his pediatrician by his parents with concerns about oppositional behaviors. Bryan's parents report that he has always been hyperactive and oppositional since a very young age. He has been previously diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder and has been treated with appropriate stimulant medications for several years; however, despite this, his parents feel increasingly unable to manage his difficult behaviors. He refuses to do chores or follow through with household routines. He refuses to go to bed at night. His family feels unable to take him to public places because he "climbs all over everything." At school, he acts up in class, is often disruptive, and requires close supervision by teachers. He was recently kickedoff of the school bus. He has very few friends, and his parents state that other children do not enjoy to be around him. Bryan's parents also report that he is "obsessed" with electronics. He spends most his free time watching TV and movies and playing computer games. He has a television in his bedroom because otherwise he "monopolizes" the family television. The family also owns several portable electronic devices that he frequently uses. Bryan insists on watching TV during meals and even that the TV stays on in an adjacent room while showering. He gets up early each morning and turns on the television. He refuses to leave the house unless he can take a portable screen device with him. His parents admit to difficulty placing limits


When Alexander Hamilton was Secretary of Treasury he noted in a report on manufacturing that children "who would otherwise be idle could become a source of cheap labor". His advice was highly regarded by the business community. Child labor, as young as age 6, was widespread until the late 1930s. Almost 20% of children worked, often in unhealthy environments and performing dangerous jobs. Children between the ages of 6 to 16 years labored as many as 12 to 14 hours each day. In the southern textile industry during the early 20th century 20,000 of the 50,000 employed children were under the age of 12.

As a result of the efforts of progressive reform organizations and labor unions, some states adopted restrictions on child labor. The major advance was madereductions OSHA's federal inspectors have been cut since 1980 from 1,469 federal inspectors to about 850.

The worse may be still ahead. The Department of Labor, which is the only federal agency with inspectors who are responsible to protect young workers from abuse, is confronted now with a recommended budget reduction of over 20%.

At the state level, many legislators across the country have been attempting to roll back child labor laws. In Missouri, even though its labor department is short of staff, the state has reduced the number of labor investigators. In the year prior to reducing the staff, the Department reported 467 child labor violations. The following year only 191 violations.

In Maine, a youth wage of $6.50 was enacted. Previously there was no separate youth wage. This change


States is the world's largest importer. According to the Department of Labor many imported products are made by child labor. The Department of Labor issued a report which identifies about 350 products from countries around the world that are made with child or forced labor. President Obama, responding to the concerns of organized labor, signed a bill last year that bars the import of many of these products. However, with rare exception the law has not been enforced.

Among the imported products that involve child labor are clothes, cocoa, coffee, bricks, cotton, sugar cane, and gold. Some of the countries that supply the United States with gold mined and refined by children are South Africa, Kenya, India, Bolivia and Brazil.

Also, an estimated 200 children in Bangladesh, some age 11and even younger, are sewing clothes that are sold in Wal-Mart, J.C. Penny, and many other retail outlets in the United States. The work shift is 12 to 14 hours a day, often seven days a week. In Thailand, an Associated Press investigation found child and slave labor pealing shrimp which is then exported to American supermarkets including Whole Foods, Safeway, and Kroger. Although Thailand had been on a State Department blacklist, the country was never sanctioned.

Exports to the United States of products made by child labor are encouraged by this country's membership in the intergovernmental World Trade Organization (WT0), which was established in 1995. The WTO is the only global organization that deals with the rules of trade between nations. Over 160 countries are members, which covers


A Place on the Coast: Environmental Sciences Department Conducts Long-Term Research on Eastern Shore

Aug 13, 2015

Fariss Samarrai, University Communications

The University of Virginia’s Department of Environmental Sciences has conducted research on Virginia’s barrier islands, mainland and seaside bays of the Eastern Shore since 1986 with funding from the National Science Foundation’s Long Term Ecological Research project. For several years, researchers operated out of a farmhouse jury-rigged as a field lab. But with major funding from the Anheuser-Busch Companies and donor Paul Tudor Jones, and with National Science Foundation grants, the University established its Anheuser-Busch Coastal Research Center in 2006.

The state-of-the-art facility is located on 42 acres in the town of Oyster, about 15 miles north of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. It includes lab space, a residence building that canaccommodate 30 people, and a dock for its fleet of five shallow-water research vessels. Much of the research is conducted on the Nature Conservancy’s Virginia Coast Reserve.

The center’s site manager, Art Schwarzschild, holds a Ph.D. in environmental sciences from U.Va. He spoke recently with UVA Today science writer Fariss Samarrai during a busy three-day seagrass survey.

Q. Tell us about the research conducted by U.Va. investigators at the facility.

A. Scientists working with the Virginia Coast Reserve Long-Term Ecological Research program are studying the coastal environments of the Eastern Shore, from the upland portions of the peninsula out to the ocean side of the barrier islands. On any given day our researchers conduct field work on seagrass meadows, forested streams, abandoned farm fields impacted by saltwater intrusion, salt marshes, oyster

Touré missed some time because of the Africa Cup of Nations, and a couple of other players picked up injuries, but City dealt with injuries throughout the entire season.

Washington (CNN) The deputy assistant to President Donald Trump said Tuesday the Trump campaign's attempts to get compromising information on Hillary Clinton are "what political campaigns do."

Speaking on CNN's "New Day," Sebastian Gorka was referencing reports that Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., met with a Russian lawyer who offered to provide information to aid his father's campaign. Trump Jr. has acknowledged that he had attended the meeting with Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya in the hope that she "might have information helpful to the campaign."

CNN's Alisyn Camerota asked Gorka why Trump Jr. attended the meeting, adding "they wanted the dirt."

"Which is what political campaigns do," Gorka replied.

During his interview, Gorka repeatedly tried to spin away from the meeting to bring attention to Clinton's campaign. He also argued theRussian attorney had "no connection" to the Kremlin.

"There was no connection," he said. "She was a private lawyer who had an interest with regard to the Russian adoption program and used a pretext to get a meet with the campaign -- which the campaign representatives almost immediately realized was not done in good faith. That she had another agent.

Gorka was asked by Camerota about several people in the Trump campaign, including former national security adviser Michael Flynn and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who didn't initially disclose their meetings with Russians until they were confronted with reports about them.

"You heard their statements. You heard Don Jr.'s statements. He's not even a member of the administration," he responded. "There's no need for private citizens to disclose his meeting in the

A former member of the Black Panther party and its underground wing the Black Liberation Army, he has spent almost 47 years in prison for his part in the 1971 murders of two New York city police officers. One of those officers was Joseph Piagentini, Diane’s husband.

Muntaqim is one of 19 black radicals, including two women, who are still imprisoned 40 or more years after they were arrested for violent acts related to the black liberation struggle. Next year the longest-serving inmate, Romaine “Chip” Fitzgerald, will have been locked up for half a century. The oldest, Sundiata Acoli, is 81.

Since 2000,a further 10 black radicals have succumbed to ill health and died in prison.

The 19 incarcerated militants were all part of the 1970s black revolutionary movement. They fought for black power, they were convicted of killing for it – though many profess their innocence – and today they are still imprisoned for it.

As they grow older, and the length of their incarceration ticks up, the ethical battle over what to do with these men and women grows ever more intense. Just last week there was a stunning development, reported here for the first time: Robert Seth Hayes, like Muntaqim a former member of the Black Panthers and Black Liberation Army was released last Tuesday, aged 69, from the same New York maximum security prison.

Hayes had been imprisoned for


45 years for the murder of a New York city transit officer, Sidney Thompson, during an encounter at a Bronx station in 1973. He was convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life.

He became eligible for parole in 1998, but every two years he was told the same thing: despite a clean prison record, he remained a threat to society in the eyes of the parole board. It was only on his 11th attempt, 20 years later and with his health rapidly failing, that he convinced them he was worthy of rehabilitation.

Hayes’ freedom further ups the ante, forcing authorities in New York and across the country to consider fundamental questions: is there such a thing as rehabilitation for those found guilty of killing police officers in the causeof black revolution? Do they have to renounce their politics to merit release? Or is the US criminal justice system singling them out for especially harsh treatment and never-ending captivity as political prisoners, as the men and women themselves contend?

Over the past two years I have interviewed eight black liberationists who have all experienced prolonged prison time.Through prison visits, letters and emails, the militants told surprisingly similar stories of how they had coped spending almost their entire adult lives in cells and of the long road to an elusive freedom. Six are among the 19 who remain incarcerated to this day.

One of the most striking aspects of their stories is the enduring passion they all express for the cause of black liberation. Their belief in the nobility of


the struggle against injustice is undiluted and undulled.

Take Jalil Muntaqim, 66. Under the terms of his sentence for double homicide he has been entitled to be considered for parole every two years since 2002. This August the cycle comes round again: he will go before a parole board for the ninth time to plead for his release.

He will tell the panel of his remorse towards the families of the police officers who died. He will tell them of the remorse he feels too towards his own family, whom he has deprived of his company for 46 years.

But he will not renounce his politics.

As he put it during a two-hour interview in Sullivan correctional facility in upstate New York: “If you understand the oppression that black people have sufferedin this country, no one should have any regrets for having been identified as a revolutionary. I have no regrets about that.”

Black Panther film fuels calls for release of jailed political activists Read more

The Black Panthers, who officially ceased to exist in 1982, seem to have become posthumously fashionable in the past couple of years. The opening sequence of the smash-hit movie Black Panther is set in a public basketball court in downtown Oakland, in a strong allusion to the foundation of the party in the same location in 1966. Beyoncé stunned the nation with her 2016 Super Bowl homage replete with black leather jackets, berets and raised fists.

Behind this veneer of popular flirtation with the Panthers, there is very little public discussion about the 1970s upheaval and


bars.

The journey that led me to dive into the lives of incarcerated former Black Panthers began in 2015 with Albert Woodfox, a member of the so-called Angola Three who had the distinction at that time of being America’s longest-standing solitary confinement prisoner. He had been locked up in a cell alone almost without a break for 43 years.

Together with a fellow inmate, Herman Wallace, Woodfox had set up a branch of the Black Panthers in Angola, the notorious maximum-security penitentiary in Louisiana built upon the grounds of an old cotton-picking plantation. Its name was derived from the African country where the plantation owners obtained their slaves.

When Woodfox was sent to Angolain 1971 for robbery, the prison was entirely segregated, with a wing for white prisoners and a separate wing for African American prisoners. The guards were exclusively white.

In one of the sharpest examples of the unbroken thread between slavery and modern mass incarceration, black prisoners were used as a cheap supply of farm labor. Every day the black inmates were assembled into chain gangs, taken into the fields around the penitentiary – the same fields that had belonged to the plantation – and made to work under the blazing sun.

Picking cotton.

Woodfox and Wallace began organizing other black inmates through the Black Panther chapter to protest against this modern form of slavery. It didn’t sit well with the prison authorities.

A year later, they were both accused of murdering a


It’s like the atmosphere is pressing down on me, closing in all around me.”

While Woodfox and Wallace were sweating out the years in solitary in Angola, thousands of other young African Americans were being drawn to the Black Panther party in Oakland, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and across the US. Though the party was set up by two men, Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, and had a military aesthetic that could be described as macho, women also came to occupy senior positions within it.

They included Afeni Shakur, mother of the rapper Tupac Shakur; Elaine Brown, who rose to be chairman of the party after Newton fled to Cuba; and Assata Shakur, AKA Joanne Chesimard, a leader of the Black Liberation Army who also fled to Cuba, whereshe lives in exile today, still listed by the FBI as one of its most wanted terrorists.

The movement, in contrast to its violent reputation, devoted much of its time to community work. It provided free breakfasts for children in low-income black neighborhoods, set up schools and medical centers treating the uninsured, and published its own newspaper, the Black Panther, selling for 10 cents with a peak weekly circulation of 250,000.

In contrast to the measured tone of Martin Luther King’s civil rights movement, the Panthers saw themselves as being aligned with international revolutionary groups in Angola, Mozambique or Vietnam. New recruits, known as PITs, for “Panthers-in-Training”, were made to study Mao’s “little red book” and The Wretched of the Earth by Frantz Fanon.

Then there was the emphasis on militarism and armed struggle. Even the structure of the organization was a provocation, setting the party up as a state within a state.

As Mumia Abu-Jamal, a former Black Panther who has been incarcerated for 37 years for the murder of a Philadelphia police officer, puts it: “The Black Panther party performed in the role of a shadow state – with its Ministries, its uniformed personnel, and its soldiers in sharp opposition to the US government.”

Facebook Twitter Pinterestarmed insurrection by black revolutionaries inspired a powerful retaliation from the US government. The then director of the FBI, J Edgar Hoover, vowed to crush the Black Panther party, which he called “the greatest threat to internal security of the country”.

The surveillance program Cointelpro placed its spotlight on the Panthers, and vast FBI resources were mobilized against them. Before long, the party was riddled with informants and agent provocateurs, spreading disinformation and sewing dissent within the ranks.

Violent clashes with police became frequent: “shoot outs”, law enforcement and the media called them. “Shoot-ins”, said the Panthers, insisting the confrontations were instigated by the authorities as part of Cointelpro dirty tricks.

The Panthers themselves estimated that between 1968 and 1970 there were 28 armed clashes with local police or FBI agents,


in which 19 of their own were killed. In return, police unions hold the Black Liberation Army, the clandestine offshoot of the party formed in 1970, responsible for the murders of at least 13 police officers.

It was into this environment that Jalil Muntaqim, then going by the name Anthony Bottom, threw himself when he was 15. He was an unlikely candidate for a black revolutionary, coming from a comfortable home in San Jose with working parents and a swimming pool in the yard.

His mother used to teach the children African dance and emphasize their African descent. Muntaqim took a close interest in King and the civil rights movement, but he was soon looking for a more radical stance. A friend at school had become a Black Panther andhe was drawn in.

“The idea that black men armed and prepared can fight for the rights of black people was exciting, intriguing. It went beyond the civil rights movement of Dr King. It was the difference between Dr King and Malcolm X, who put our struggle into an international perspective,” he told me.

Muntaqim began by selling the Black Panther newspaper and helping with free-food programs. From there he was promoted to security details for high-profile leaders visiting Oakland.

The idea that black men armed and prepared can fight for the rights of black people was exciting, intriguing Jalil Muntaqim on joining the Panthers at 15

In 1970, the Black Liberation Army (BLA) was formed as the armed phalanx of the movement. Between then and the formal disbanding of the Black


Panther party in 1982, it carried out a wave of bank robberies, bombings, prison breakouts and shootings of police officers.

Muntaqim signed up when he was 18 and went clandestine. “I continued to have a public life as a social worker in the California unemployment department,” he explained in the interview. “But there was another side to my life – being underground with the Black Liberation Army.”

On 21 May 1971, two New York police officers, Joseph Piagentini, who was white, and Waverly Jones, who was black, were on foot patrol in 159th Street in Harlem. They had been called to what they thought was a domestic dispute.

Diane Piagentini described Joseph as “a great husband and father who loved our two young daughters. He was tall, almost six feet, withdark hair, dark eyes. He had a great smile, a little crooked, and a cleft in his chin. He was the love of my life. I loved him from the minute I saw him.”

She recalled how the news was broken to her that night. “I had made him pasta fagioli, keeping it warm as I waited for him to come home. There was a knock on the door. I looked out and it was raining. I could see the police lights going around and around. No sirens, just lights. It was like you were in a dream.”

Joseph Piagentini and Jones


had been returning to their police cruiser at about 10pm when they were set upon by three armed men from behind. Jones died instantly from a shot to the back of the head; Piagentini was shot 13 times, according to prosecutors.

Within days, three members of the BLA – Muntaqim, Herman Bell and Albert “Nuh” Washington – were arrested. Muntaqim and Bell were both sentenced to 25 years to life; Washington died in prison in 2000.

Three months ago, a very rare event occurred. Herman Bell, now 70, was released. It was his eighth time before the panel, after 45 years behind bars.

Bell had impressed the parole board as someone who over almost half a century had become a rule-abiding inmate with genuine feelings of remorse about the killings. Part– she was released in 1995. Brigitte Mohnhaupt was captured in 1982 and sentenced to five life terms for her role in numerous assassinations – she too was released in 2007 after 24 years in prison and since then has lived anonymously with no further engagement with law enforcement.

Criminal justice reformers argue the long sentences of the black radicals have to be seen in the context of America’s uniquely severe approach to punishment, especially for black men. The US has 5% of the world’s population, but 25% of world’s prisoners, with more than 2 million in confinement. Black people in America are almost six times as likely to be imprisoned per capita than white people. In 2016, according to the Pew Research Center, black people represented 12% of


By Daylight: A Chamber Concert

with Gautam Tejas Ganeshan

Description

Dubbed a "local treasure" by SF Classical Voice, and "a magnet for local Indian classical musicians" by the SF Chronicle, Gautam Tejas Ganeshan sings classical Carnatic music with distinction, innovation, and an inimitable personal style. He has galvanized the local scene, his compelling musicality and unique approach enabling him to inflect a tradition through himself so that listeners feel it speaks directly to them, and that its subtle beauty has grown new roots. Gautam's music expresses authenticity more than ethnicity, immediacy more than nostalgia - it is "new music from an old tradition" (SFJAZZ Festival), representing the "ecstatic edge of contemporary Indian classical music" (SF International Arts Festival).

His performances feature original compositions rendered with the extensive vocal improvisation and traditional rhythmicrapport within the ensemble for which South Indian music is known. Fundamentally committed to musicianship, his concerts also give place to the art of the song, wherein prosody and rhyme feature as musical elements, and melody is jointly narrative with meaning. His texts in his native tongue - born in Texas with the middle name to show for it - allow his listeners an unprecedented experience of the structure of Carnatic music, and a natural purchase on its elaborate song forms.

Gautam has performed at the Palace of Fine Arts, the Cowell Theater at Fort Mason, the ODC Theater, CounterPULSE, and at the SFJazz SummerFest, as well as for Classical Revolution, among others. His group New Directions in Indian Classical Music was commissioned in 2009 by the San Francisco


Foundation, and he was one of the first artists-in-residence at the Red Poppy Art House.

Across the bay, his appearances include at the new Freight & Salvage, Hillside Club, Jazzschool, Julia Morgan Theater, Subterranean Arthouse, Ashkenaz, and at UC Berkeley's Hertz Hall and Zellerbach Playhouse.

Gautam has guest taught Carnatic music for the Music of India courses at UC Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz, and has led workshops on singing and the aesthetics of Indian classical music at the SF Conservatory of Music, the Asian Art Museum (SF), and at the Stanford Jazz Workshop.

A musician with his ear to the ground, Gautam often lends his voice in support of the movement towards a local economy, particularly of food. At the Green Festival SF 2012, he contributed his music to thecrowd as an interlude after the speech of Amy Goodman of Democracy Now. His singing opened each night of "From the Field to the Table", a performance project of the UC Berkeley Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies bringing to light issues inherent in industrialized food production, choreographed by Urban Bush Women. At the East Bay Center for Performing Arts, he sang to introduce a documentary screening of "Bitter Seeds", about the epidemic of suicides among farmers in India indebted to multinational seed companies. And on Election Night 2012, he offered a spontaneous song to students in "Edible Education", a course led by Michael Pollan as a critical look at the food movement for both university students and the community at large.

Gautam is also the founder and


director of the Sangati Center, which has hosted more than 350 public chamber concerts of Indian classical music in the past six years. Sangati Center concerts are distinguished by being presented strictly acoustically, with nothing amplified or plugged in, and with humans rather than electricity being responsible for the sound - recalling an age-old approach in where musicianship retains the focus in lieu of elaborate production. The Sangati Center has earned support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Alliance for California Traditional Arts, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Zellerbach Family Foundation, San Francisco Foundation, and others, as well as the goodwill of thousands of listeners and musicians local and abroad.Trump humiliate himself and the entire nation with him by the same time at the UN General Assembly by made his audience laugh ridiculously about him using his childish behavior, and his megalomania habits of using fake facts to brag about his government accomplishment, that he qualified as the best ever.

Fruit growers at Orange in New South Wales have been shocked by the discovery of counterfeit cherry boxes in China.

Recent storms and rainfall have increased the urgency for cherry growers to pick their fruit before the extra moisture causes any splitting or cracking.

Now another challenge has hit the group marketing its fruit under the BiteRiot brand, with a number of counterfeit BiteRiot boxes of cherries uncovered in China.

Caernarvon Cherry Company general manager Allan Bramble says the origin of the fruit is actually unknown.

"It's pretty easy to see the difference between ours and the counterfeit product," he said.

"People will exploit other people's success and that's quite complimentary in itself. It's a testament to the quality of the fruit that comes out if this region."

Mr Bramble says a customer alertedhim to the scam.

"We're in the process of trying to find some contact details and narrow down exactly who's supplying that produce and selling it and we'll be taking every avenue we can to pursue and obviously stop the practice from occurring again," he said.

The small volume of the counterfeit haul leads Mr Bramble to believe it was an opportunistic attempt to cash in on the renowned Australian brand.

"I think it's someone that's seen the BiteRiot brand top the China market a couple of times last year and they've just obviously taken advantage of that."

Further, he seemed to be bringing into question the notice he had received from former counsel as to the status of the litigation and it was definitely stated that he thought counsel had in his possession a log of drilling work on the lease. At this point, the court suggested that Mr. A.L. Foster, of Parsons, the former counsel be called to testify concerning these matters.

Kenneth Bellando, who worked at Levy Capital since January, was found dead on the sidewalk outside his East Side building on March 12 after allegedly jumping from the sixth-story roof, sources said.

Bellando, a former investment bank analyst at JPMorgan, is the son of John Bellando, chief operating officer and chief financial officer at Condé Nast. His brother, John, a top chief investment officer with JPMorgan, works on risk exposure valuations.

Several John Bellando emails were cited during testimony at the Senate Finance Committee’s inquiry into the bank’s losses during the infamous London Whale trade fiasco.

Kenneth Bellando — who grew up in Rockville Center, LI, and was a Georgetown graduate — worked as a summer analyst


at JPMorgan while in school. Upon graduation in 2007, he was hired as an investment bank analyst and worked there for one year before moving on, according to his LinkedIn page.

The investment banker then went to Paragon Capital Partners, according to his LinkedIn page, until leaving at the end of 2013.

Bellando becomes the eighth suicide of a financial professional this year and the third death in as many weeks.

image copyright EPA image caption President Maduro has put on a public display of unity with senior military officers

With Venezuela in economic and political crisis, more than 20 countries have recognised opposition leader Juan Guaidó as interim president, including the US.

To add to President Nicolás Maduro's woes, a top military representative to the US, Col José Luis Silva, defected on Sunday and called on other officers to do the same.

But if Mr Maduro's hold on power is slipping, why has Venezuela's powerful military not stepped in to give him the final push? The BBC looks at some of the reasons.

Picked for the job

When Mr Maduro's predecessor, Hugo Chávez, came to power he


purged the military to ensure its senior figures were aligned with his left-wing ideals, analysts say.

The former paratrooper cut a military figure and commanded loyalty. In return he rewarded officers with positions of power.

image copyright Getty Images image caption Hugo Chávez was often pictured in the red beret of his parachute regiment

"Previously the military had been more or less confined to barracks, but Chávez let them out and gave them access to cabinet posts, to control of banks and other financial services," Phil Gunson, senior analyst at the International Crisis Group, a Brussels-based think tank, told the BBC.

Mr Maduro, a former bus driver with no previous military links, has continued the trend. The armed forces have played a key role in supporting his government, with many officers holdingbacked Juan Guaidó.

"It was an opposition-led grassroots campaign to try to appeal to mid-level and junior military service members," Mr Fonseca said.

"The military in turn were burning the pamphlets that they were being given. It was being blasted all over social media as a means of trying to reinforce that the military is cohesive and aligned behind Maduro."

Soon after, US National Security Adviser John Bolton told reporters in Washington that rank and file members of Venezuela's armed forces were "looking for ways" to support Mr Guaidó, the elected leader of the opposition-held National Assembly.

Sheeran vibe that is undeniable. For his audition, Chase wrote an original song, titled “Hurt,” which is about a girl that is in a bad relationship and a guy just trying to help her out of it. Not only did Chase look like Ed Sheeran, his singing and songwriting similar mirror the redheaded Brit.

3. Little Angelica Hale proves big voices hide in tiny bodies

Angelica Hale stole the judges hearts the moment that she stepped on stage. She was sweet, cute, and charming. Not only that, Angelica had an amazing story. When she was just 4, she got so sick, her parents thought they were going to lose her. But thankfully, Angelica’s mom was able to donate her a kidney and saved her life. Angelica brought her mom toher audition (she was only 9 at the time, after all) and called her “her hero” when Tyra Banks interviewed her. There was a lot more to Angelica than a cute face and personality. She packed a powerful voice behind it all and for her audition, she sang Andra Day’s hit song “Rise Up” and totally blew the judges away.

4. Demian Aditya risks his life during an escape act

AGT

is not short on daredevils every season and on season 12, Demian Aditya terrified the judges during his audition. Demian is a master escape artist and he is known for his death-defying stunts. For his AGT audition, he wore handcuffs, got locked inside of a box, and then had 900 pounds of sand poured on him. It was so intense,


Simon even said to Howie Mandel that he thought sand would be much worse than water. The judges watched from the edges of their seats and when the sand was moved, Demian was no longer in the box. He’s somehow escaped without anyone realizing!

5. Mandy Harvey, a deaf singer, blows the judges away with her original song

During the auditions for AGT, there were many standouts. Mandy Harvey stood out for her beautiful voice, but because the judges didn’t realize at first that she was deaf. For her audition, Mandy took off her shoes so she could really feel the music even though she could not hear it. She wrote an original song, titled “Try,” that she wanted to perform for the judges during her audition. Simon was soby the end. Howie told him that he wasted time in school because he had a career as a singer ahead of him.

7. Celine Tam tells the judges she’s named after Celine Dion

There was more than one cute 9-year-old on last season of America’s Got Talent. Celine Tam might even be more memorable, but because of her name. When Celine walked on the stage, she quickly revealed that she was named after her parents’ favorite singer – Celine Dion. She even has a little sister named Dion! For her audition, Celine obviously sang a song from her namesake. Apparently, Celine’s parents realized she had talent when she sang “My Heart Will Go On” in the car one day. That is when they all decided she would audition for


America’s Got Talent and she would sing that song! Simon Cowell might have rolled his eyes at her at first, but by the end, her talent (and cute factor) was undeniable.

8. Evie Clair performs a moving song dedicated to her sick father

Many contestants on America’s Got Talent are dealing with a lot in their home lives. Typically, people will dedicate their audition to someone special. For Evie Clair, that someone special was her father. At the time of audition, he was battling stage four colon cancer, but he still managed to make it to her audition to watch her from the side of the stage. Before she sang, she broke down in tears talking about her father illness. Host Tyra Banks rushed on stage to give Evie water.bond was set for $100,000 and he remained at the El Paso County jail Wednesday evening.

According to the warrant, police have been investigating Ehnes and his auto shop Springs Transmission and Automotive for some time. Investigators interviewed customers who took vehicles to him in early 2011. Police executed a search warrant at the business in early September and Ehnes also was arrested later in the month after Fountain police say employees took a car from the shop, got in a wreck with it and then lied to police about what happened. Fountain police said Ehnes tried to cover for his employees.

In his most recent arrest warrant, Colorado Springs police cited several cases where officers say Ehnes stole from his auto shop customers:

• A 65-year-old customer said Ehnes kept


margins and swept every county. Although Clinton carried only two of the state's seventeen counties, his win in Clark County, where Las Vegas is located, and the most populous county in the state, would prove the key to this and future Democratic victories in Nevada.

Clinton's percentage of the vote was the lowest to win a state since Woodrow Wilson carried Idaho with only 31 percent of the vote in 1912.

, this is the last time a Democratic presidential candidate carried White Pine County in a presidential election, and the last one where a third-party candidate carried any Nevada county. In this case, Ross Perot carried Storey County.

For a long time, Robert Pattinson was known to most as moody, sparkly vampire Edward Cullen from the enduringly lucrative“Twilight” series. Since his initial ascent, the prodigiously talented London-born actor has gone on to work with directors as challenging and interesting as James Gray, Claire Denis, Werner Herzog, and the Safdie Brothers – which is not to mention collaborations with the likes of Ciro Guerra, Antonio Campos, and none other than Christopher Nolan looming on the horizon. It now feels safe to say that we can finally put the YA-friendly comparisons that marked Pattinson’s early career to bed once and for all.

“Life”

“Life” is a transfixing failure of a movie – an attractively put-together, thoroughly hermetic anti-biopic that showcases two mesmerizing lead performances in a story that ultimately goes nowhere. Still, if “Life” mostly goes nowhere, it goes nowhere beautifully. The film was directed by revered rock n’ roll photographer and music video whiz Anton Corbijn, whose films are always gorgeous to look at, even when their various narrative pieces don’t fit together. “Life” is a jagged glimpse of celebrity alienation in midcentury America, anchored by two turns that carry the film even when Corbijn and screenwriter Luke Davies (“Lion”) fail to do the same. Dane DeHaan arguably has the more difficult part: he plays silver screen icon James Dean, whom we see glumly obligating
