Player to Watch

F-C Nikola Jokic has seemingly come out of nowhere in his second year in the NBA, and his impact has pushed the Denver Nuggets into potential playoff contention. This season, the Joker is averaging 16.6 points while shooting 57.9% from the field and 82.8% from the free throw line to go along with 9.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists. He also has 38 double-doubles and 6 triple-doubles for the season. In the first two meetings in the first half of the season between the Nuggets and the Thunder, Jokic was not a key contributor, but his status with Denver has drastically changed since then.

BRIDGEPORT -- A 23-year-old man driving a rental car hit a 10-year-old boy Thursday morning, then fled the scene before turning himself in to city police hours later.

The hit-and-run was the second such incident in nine days, though this one resulted in injuries far less serious than the previous.


The 10-year-old, who was crossing the street at Howard and Maplewood avenues on his way to Bryant School, suffered a laceration to the ear and abrasions, said police spokesman William Kaempffer.

The driver involved, Paul Whitehurst, turned himself in to police Thursday evening on charges of evading responsibility, driving without a license, failure to yield to a pedestrian and driving the wrong way on a one-way street, the last count arising when he fled the scene.

Thursday morning's incident also differed from the April hit-and-run on Capitol Avenue in that city police were able to easily identify the car involved, as the driver abandoned it a short distance from the scene of the crash and fled on foot. The vehicle -- a white Toyota Corolla -- had been rented fromfinding the person who rented the Corolla, Officers Pete Garcia and John Perry, of the department's traffic unit, were able to identify Whitehurst as the driver and contact him, prompting his surrender, Kaempffer said.

Sharice Wilson, a witness, said she saw the child being put into the ambulance.

"I walk my kids by here every day, hundreds of kids pass by here on the way to Bryant School, and it's dangerous," Wilson said, standing at the intersection. "There is a crossing guard, but sometimes she doesn't get here until after 8 a.m."

Physical properties of artificial extracellular matrix protein films prepared by isocyanate crosslinking.
Artificial extracellular matrix proteins, genetically engineered from elastin- and fibronectin-derived repeating units, were crosslinked with hexamethylene diisocyanate in dimethylsulfoxide. The resulting hydrogel films were transparent, uniform, and highly extensible. Their tensile moduli depended on crosslinker concentration and spanned the range characteristic of native elastin. The water content of the films was low ( approximately 27%), but the temperature-dependent swelling behavior of the crosslinked materials was reminiscent of the lower critical solution temperature property of the soluble polymers.Attacks can�t be dismissed as rumours: Lapang

Correspondent

SHILLONG, Aug 17 � Former Meghalaya Chief Minister DD Lapang today said the reports of attacks on Northeastern students and subsequent threats of further reprisal, cannot be brushed away as mere rumours. Lapang, who is also the Chairman of North East Congress Coordination Committee (NECCC) has dashed off letters to the All India Congress Committee president Sonia Gandhi and Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde, expressing �concern and deep anguish� over the reported attacks and threats. In the letters, the NECCC chairman urged the Congress leaders to render all necessary help to the hapless students and take appropriate stand on the threats and the reports of the attacks. �What rumours? Do you think the 1,100 students who have already returned to the

Chief Minister Mukul Sangma said: �It is a matter of concern (students leaving southern States fearing attack) and such incidents would have serious ramification in the long run.� He said a delegation would be sent to the affected States to find out the truth behind the reports and requested the Home Ministry to assist the delegation in its fact-finding mission. The Meghalaya police, however, dismissed the reports of NE students being attacked in the southern States as rumours. It has also given out a helpline number 918575001111 for those who need any sort of assistance.4G battles to help E-commerce: Snapdeal's Kunal Bahl

style staple since they first appeared on Oprah Winfrey's show in her second edition of 'Oprah's Favorite Things' in 2003, in which she purchased (ugg outlet online) over 350 shoes for her staff and audience. The boots gained a large celebrity following and were frequently seen on notable people such as Kate Upton, Blake Lively, Kate Hudson, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, and Sarah Jessica Parker. This marketing campaign led to an exponential growth in the brand's popularity and recognizability.

In 2013, various Vogue editors wrote about wearing an owning ugg boots outlet boots following testimonials by fashion figures such as Alexa Chung and André Leon Talley who posted about their UGG boots. The shoes have also been spotted on celebrities including actor Leonardo DiCaprio and The Rolling Stones guitaristwidely at the early stages.

She and her colleagues quickly identified a victim who came to Nigeria as having Ebola and placed him in quarantine.

Without any help from the national government, and little knowledge of the disease, Adadevoh set up precautions to disinfect the hospital, quickly educate staff, and ran part of the hospital as an isolation unit.

She and the hospital refused to release the patient despite what doctors described as “intense pressure” to allow him to attend a meeting of regional governments.

Dr Adadevoh, whose great-grandfather was a founder of the modern Nigeria, died on 19 August, having herself contracted the disease.

Her son told the Guardian newspaper: “If anything comes of this, all we want is an improvement in healthcare, especially public healthcare, in Nigeria.”

How Nigeria beat Ebola

The lessons


from Nigeria are not immediately replicable across Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone, but its outbreak can provide a model for the rest of the world.

After the patient was bought to a hospital, staff initially suspected malaria, and a number contracted the disease themselves treating the patient.

But after Dr Adadevoh controlled the local outbreak, international organisations acted quickly. The American Centers for Disease Control’s experts had already trained 100 local doctors and assigned 40 to Ebola.

These doctors led an enormous effort to trace anyone who had come into contact with people who had had the disease.

Local health workers made 18,500 visits to take the temperature of 894 such people. Those living near these households were also checked.

A Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation emergency command centre, created to fight polio,became an emergency operation centre for Ebola.

As a result of all of this work, there have been only 19 cases and eight deaths in the country.

John Vertefeuille, from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) told AFP: “Nigeria acted quickly and early and on a large scale. They acted aggressively, especially in terms of contact-tracing.”

Senegal, which is much closer to the countries particularly badly affected, was also declared Ebola free on Friday.

Its government similarly reacted very quickly, and identified 74 people who had close contact with the patient, who travelled by road from Guinea.

Many Republicans shy away from independent commission on Trump-Russia ties after Comey's firing Republicans are split on Trump's move to fire the FBI Director.

 -- Reactions from Republicans in Congress to President Trump's decision to fire FBI Director James Comey are falling into three major groups, with many criticizing the move but stopping short of calling for an independent commission, according to dozens of statements and interviews collected by ABC News.

A handful of GOP lawmakers has called for an independent panel to investigate the Trump administration's ties to Russia, but a larger number of Republicans on Capitol Hill are criticizing the timing of Comey's removal without saying a commission should weigh in.

Still others are defending President Trump's decision and dismissing concerns over the decision.

Democrats have pressed for ahave stopped short of calling for an independent panel. The most prominent senator in this group is Richard Burr, who leads the Senate Intelligence Committee and says he was "troubled by the timing and reasoning" and "his dismissal further confuses an already difficult investigation."

"The timing of it and the reasoning of it make no sense to me," Burr said.

The group includes some regular Trump critics as well as more mainline conservatives. Sen. Rob Portman said Trump "should provide a fuller explanation." Sen. Ben Sasse said "the timing of this firing is very troubling," while Sen. Lisa Murkowski called the timing a "serious cause for concern."

Sen. James Lankford said "the American people need clarity and deserve an explanation," while Sen. Bob Corker said "his removal at this particular time

An abandoned car near the building was complete with seven full canisters of gas. When authorities traced the owner of the vehicle, they discovered he was on a terror watch list.

The vehicle was left this weekend outside of the medieval church, which is one of the most popular landmarks and tourist attractions in Paris. Police were alerted to the Peugeot 607 because it had no registration plates and was flashing its hazard lights, and even though they didn’t find an explosive device, they discovered seven full canisters of gas inside the vehicle.

The police surmise the vehicle's owner was preparing for a "test run."

Wen Yi Wang, 47, was charged with harassing a foreign official, a federal misdemeanor punishable upon conviction by six months in prison and a fine of $5,000.

The federal law is designed to protect foreign dignitaries and official guests, and prohibits attempts to "intimidate, threaten, coerce or harass a foreign official or an official guest or obstruct a foreign official in the performance of his duties."

Wang appeared Friday before Magistrate Judge Deborah Robinson in Washington, and a preliminary hearing in the case was set for May 3. She


was freed on her own recognizance, but ordered to stay away from the White House. (View the charge against Wang -- PDF)

Wang is a naturalized U.S. citizen who works as a journalist for the Epoch Times and had a one-day press pass that gave her access to a photographers' platform at the ceremony.

A probable-cause statement filed in U.S. District Court said Wang "began to yell at President Hu in a loud voice for in excess of two minutes" as he was speaking.

"The defendant was frantically waving a yellow banner in the direction of President Hu, which read 'Falun Dafa is good' and also included writing in Chinese," the documents said.

An interpreter translated Wang's statements to Hu as, "Stop oppressing the Falun Gong," "Your time is running out," and"Anything you have done will come back to you in this lifetime," court documents said. (Watch Wang heckle Hu during a White House ceremony -- 1:33)

Wang then began to yell at President Bush, according to the documents, partly in English and partly in Chinese, saying, "President Bush, stop him from killing, President Bush, stop him from persecuting Falun Gong."

A cameraman standing near Wang pulled the banner from her hands and put his hand over her mouth, and the U.S. Secret Service escorted her from the platform.

Terri Wu, an assistant to the editor in chief of the Epoch Times, told CNN on Thursday that Wang has worked for the newspaper for a few years. Because she has a medical background, she wrote articles on issues such as bird flu


lot of Performance Auto in Farmington, New Mexico. The vehicle's global position system indicated that the vehicle was located at the intersection of Knollcrest and Kingsway. Officer Kyle Dowdy was dispatched to the location and observed the vehicle in the driveway of a residence at the identified location, when he saw two people come out of the residence and enter the vehicle. He initiated a felony traffic stop while the vehicle was still in the driveway. Officer Dowdy then detained the driver and Defendant, who was a passenger in the vehicle, in connection with his investigation. He handcuffed them and read them Miranda rights.

The district court denied Defendant's motion to suppress on the ground that Defendant had no expectation of privacy in the black bag Officer Karst removed from Defendant's purse because Defendant had disclaimed ownership of the black bag. In making that ruling, it appears the district court assumed that Officer Karst had the right to enter *602 Defendant's purse and remove the black bag. On appeal, Defendant does not contest that she abandoned the black bag, but argues that the officer did not have the right to lawfully retrieve the black bag from her purse.

A 20-year old international hockey player from Haryana, who has represented India in the Asian Games and participated in many state and national level tournaments, allegedly committed suicide on Wednesday night by coming in front of a train at Rewari Railway Station.

The Rapid Reaction Unit (RRU), a Somaliland paramilitary counter-terror squad established in 2012, was deployed by President Ahmed Mohamed Mohamoud's administration on November 15 to prevent opposition members of parliament (MPs) from entering parliament in order to influence a vote, members of Somaliland's parliament told VICE News.

A report by Somaliland's Human Rights Center, published Tuesday, also blamed the RRU for the deaths of at least two demonstrators after soldiers allegedly fired at a group of them indiscriminately. MPs confirmed that the RRU had been accused of killing protestors at demonstrations.

Citing "security reasons," the UK Foreign Office will not confirm or deny to VICE News


whether it provides assistance to the RRU. However, the British government has previously released details of support, including security equipment, vehicles, a UK-built headquarters, and a pretrial detention facility — all "gifted" as part of its counter-terrorism program.

Abdirahman Mohamed Jama, a Waddani party MP, accused the president of using the paramilitary unit as a personal task force, and said that British forces are regularly witnessed training the RRU at a camp in Hargeisa.

"I have seen with my own eyes that they were training them how to shoot," he said. "I saw them learning how to shoot bullets a month ago at a camp in Hargeisa.

"It's not a secret," he added. "Everybody in Somaliland knows that the British are funding the RRU."

An annual report by the Somaliland Human RightsCenter released on Tuesday said that the number of soldiers in the RRU has doubled from 50 to 100 in the last two years.

The RRU uses "unnecessary force" against civilians and "sometimes beat suspects," the report claims.

On December 28, 2013, police and RRU forces opened fire on civilians protesting water shortages in Hargeisa, resulting in the deaths of two demonstrators, the report said.

On November 15, Jama says that he and 28 opposition MPs were denied entry to parliament in an apparent attempt to influence a vote on a new speaker of the house. RRU and other state security forces numbering around 400 had occupied the building.

Jama described the November 15 incident as "the final demolition of the Somaliland democracy process."

Warning shots were fired, five members of parliament were


arrested, and two were "badly beaten" by police, Jama says. All were released without charge several hours later.

"They were trying to prevent people from voting," he said.

The pre-arranged vote did not go ahead after MPs inside the House left in protest, and a quorum was not present.

The speaker of the House of Representatives told VICE News that the security forces attempted to disarm his bodyguards and refuse him entry as he approached parliament.

"Maybe a kilometer away from the House there was a checkpoint with a large number of security forces including the RRU," Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi said. "In order to avoid a clash I decided to continue to my house. They are powerful now. Everybody is afraid."

"We were very lucky we weren't hurt," Jama told VICE News. "Theruling party was very angry of the support we had in parts of Somaliland."

Protests followed the military occupation of parliament, which, according to Jama, led to the deaths of at least three people.

"Whenever there is a protest in Somaliland, they don't use water cannons, they don't use rubber bullets. They use live bullets to disperse a crowd. Bullets kill people," Jama said. "They fired indiscriminately into the crowds."

Jama, who is also a British citizen and former teacher at a number of schools in the London borough of Harrow, said he was "ashamed" of the use of taxpayer money to fund the "oppressive" force.

"I urge the UK government to review its funding and support to the RRU," he said.

Britain's counter-terrorism operations have recently come under scrutiny following an investigation


Kingmaker Adventure Path

Dakkon Fall

Of all the sons in the Raelthim house Dakkon had outlived each one. The estate his father left him when his obsession with power finally snuffed him from the world was a pallid amount. Once many years ago, the Raelthim name was synonimous with power and wealth. Indeed they had controlled a vast stake in the decision making body of the Chelish empire. Part of Dakkon wanted to follow in Shadaru’s footsteps, and pledge service to Cheliax. The voice drove him to more dangerous ambitions, however, and the conquest of Taldor and Ulef would have to wait. Yes… the voice, the voice that guides all who walk in the shadows breadth. Masaat. Although he cannot, to this day, remember whence the black blade came intothat would soon wash over this land. He needed to ensure he was at it’s mouth so that the sleeping dragon could drink again. In the back of his mind, Dakkon knew this would not end well for him, he could no longer resist the power of the blade. Upon entering Restov he learned that the Sword Lords were hiring mercenaries to clear the stolen lands of the Stag Lord and his motely crue of bandits. He signed up with the second group he encountered, as the first seemed a bit to unstable even by his standards…

Note: Yesterday, I kind of “shoe horned” pathfinder society character Shamus Ravenfeather (6 Druid, Society # 24366-1) into the adventure. I thought the party might have trouble with the Kobold cave (which


(Mike) now owns the annexed storage shack legally. Thomas (Jim) and Tuk Tuk (Will) tricked Oleg into selling it for 30 gold, using only some dice and a cleverly worded, signed contract. Dakkan cerebrated his new ownership by ingesting lotus blooms and setting himself on fire (kobold putting it out with water and pee.) Also, Oleg was completely healed! A mysterious trapper came by while the heroes where sleeping and healed him back to full heath.

As the party was about to head out to the Kobold cave the potion dealer told them about the mysterious stranger shows up at the camp. He was wearing dragon mail full plate armor and introduced himself as an Eagle Knight of Andor. After a short conversion the Knight demonstrated his shape shiftingabilities and informed the party he would meet them near the cave since his own mission is around that area. The party tried to talk him out of it but he couldn’t be reasoned with. The party had no choice but to head out and deal with Eagle Knight Shamus later. Shamus, being distrustful of Dakkan because of his Cheliaxian ancestry, orders his animal companion to "watch him closely ".

The journey was largely uneventful save two interesting happenings. The first one was a chance running into a kobold witch calling herself the “Spider Queen.” She was on a crusade to enthrall or kill a few giant rebel spiders that refused to recognize her as their monarch. The Queen climbed down an abandoned mine shaft and an epic battle


ensued between the four giant spiders and the Queen’s spider swarms minions. The party decided to not interfere with the civil war and agreed to check on things once a victor is decided. Two days after “the spider incident” they came across a broken bridge over a wide river being guarded by a single undead. The creature’s intentions where not hostile (to the party). He seeks vengeance on the Stag Lord and demands his body be thrown into his river. Thomas, having a previously established hatred of the undying, disregarded the creatures non-aggresive nature and attacked. After a few blows the monk is denied his sanctification when the undead hopped off the bridge and magically walked on water, moving out of Thomas reach. Disappointed, Thomas is forced tono match to there combined might. After the business with the centipedes was sorted he climbed back up the wall and he magically healed Dakkan back up to consciousness. When confronted about the attack Dakkan lied and said he meant it as a harmless prank. Shamus believed the story and apologies for his companion’s attacks but was deeply offended by Dakkan incredibly unfunny joke. He left the cave to await the party’s success outside but left his cat to keep an eye on Dakkan…again.

After climbing up the other side of the rift the party discovered the mites’ war room were a meeting between the “generals” was taking place. The tiger, unable to climb down the rift, walked around the cave and appears at the other end of the


the boss of the guards from Restov. He was instead directed to the private first class who was put in charge of the Trading Post’s security while the commanding Sergeant went off boar hunting with his “girl friend” for the weekend. After a quick breakfast the party was about to set out for the bandit camp when the commander of the guard returned. He was clearly drunk and his girl friend was clearly being held against her will. Thomas confronted him about his drunkenness but no action was taken. The guard was silently permitted to carry on with his debauchery while the party left to deal with the urgent matter of the bandit camp.

Thanks to the Fey’s map the party found the camp in short order. The partysuccessfully sneaked into camp and dispatched the five bandits enjoying a late lunch. Unfortunately, the noise of the battle in the camp alerted the bandits on the road. They were lead by the twin hatchet wielding girl friend of the foul mouthed ranger who had been extorting Oleg’s trading post. She organized her large force of bandits into an ambush. The party did much the same. They set up an ambush for when the bandit returned to camp. Thus began a stalemate that lasted over an hour. Both sides waiting for the other to wander into there trap.

The stalemate was broken when Dakkan (Mike) donned a dead bandit’s armor and presented himself as a survivor of the camp onslaught to the leader. The ruse worked and Dakkan was


able to lead a few of there number off into the wood in the opposite direction. Once a safe distance away from the main force Dakkan turned on the bandits and engulfed them in magical fire burning them to death. Seeing smoke in the forest and taking it as a sign from Dakkan, the party began there assault. Thomas was the first to emerge from the woods. The bandit where ready with short bows drawn and all let loose. All seven arrows missed there target on there first volley but Thomas was soon riddled with arrows as the archers continued to fire. Nello (James) was next to emerge. He insulted the twin hatchet woman by called her a dyke in hopes of distracting her from the wounded Thomasbut he failed. She took out Thomas and rushed for Nello. Acton (Jeff) and Tuk Tuk (Will) soon follow but they kept there distance. Beating the bandit archer at there own game, the two pint sized heroes killed all one by one. Nello was able to overcome the fearsome display of “dyke rage” on behalf of the hatchet women and slew her as well. Thomas was restored to health using a potion found in the camp.

Taking the sole survivor as prisoner the party returned to the Trading Post with the spoils of their victory. A fair bit of gold and gear lifted from the bandit and a wagon full of trade goods. Once at camp Thomas confronted the commanding Sergeant again. The incompetent guard is to be sent


up with a broken leg and arm.

The party successfully charted six 12 by 12 square miles (hexs) of hostile wilderness. During there journey they encountered four belly-aching kobolds by a radish patch, two giant frogs in a lovely slightly rotten-egg-scented hot spring, and befriend some playful fey creatures by offering them gifts of radishes and opium. The fey gave the party the location of a bandit camp and of an Elk Temple. Choosing to check out the temple, the party discovered the ruins of a shine of Erastil and its accursed guardian. A ferocious insane grizzly bear! The party released the transformed priest from his cursed state by slaying the bear. Once dead the priest soul was set to rest and the temple was briefly restored to itsformer glory (for 24 hours.)

The party then headed back to the training post to enjoy a brief period of R&R before they venture out into the wilds again to clear out the bandit camp. While the adventurer where away the guards had arrived to protect the post and Oleg is feeling slightly better. He is now able to leave his bed and is no longer rambling incoherent gibberish. The growing workforce of kobolds where rewarded for there efforts and there womenfolk where set to the task of refilling the pit trap hole in the middle of the training post.

The adventure had everything: foul mouth bandits, back-breaking hole digging, a fabulous snake hat, Kobold trappers selling a mostly dead badger, and a stoned man trying to smash imaginary pixies


the group went out of ear shot to discuss the issue at length.

After a long and tedious talk it was decided that they would indeed help and they came up with a plan of action. They would dig a massive 10 foot deep pit trap in the center of the trading post and Oleg would lead the criminals on top if it. Once they where all situated, a rope would be pulled and the bandits would fall to there deaths. For at the bottom of the pit would be sharpened poison covered wooded stakes and alchemist’s fire. They had two and a half days to set it up, with the bandits arriving sometime on day three. Day one was fairly uneventful, with the warriors stuck with a lotof digging and sharpening of wood. Day two was when things started to go astray.

On day two they had a nice breakfast and when it was off to digging for 12 hours for two of the parity members. The ranger and inquisitor went off to hunt for poisonous creatures to get the poison need for the spikes while the Magus went in side the main house with a wicked plan to make Oleg more receptive to his part as “human bait” in the group plan. The ranger first tried to hunt in the stable but all he got was a small non-venomous spider (which he promptly put in a pickle jar) and his boots covered in horse dung. He took the inquisitor with him for his next attempt.


They quickly tracked a small nest of poisonous snakes underneath a broken and overturned wagon. One snake was sunning himself on a rock outside the nest. The two adventurers killed the snake easily with a quick barrage of arrows and the goblin clams his prize, a severed snake head which he took as a stylish new hat. However, shit got real when three more snakes emerge from the nest. The brave champions of Restov decided to make a tactical withdraw and were chased by the rampaging serpents for almost half a mile. The two decided not to tell the rest of the parity of there shameful retreat.

Meanwhile, in the Legion of Doom! (The Trade post). The Magus successfully found Oleg’s stash of triple X rum which he proceededto spike with enough opium to kill a troll. He also but some opium in the wine he found close to the run and in Oleg’s tobacco. Later, after the hunter’s had returned, a small group of kobold trapper arrived to sell there animal skins and one mostly dead badger to Oleg for there usual fee. Before Oleg could great them the goblin ranger, who just so happened to speak draconic, stroke up a conversion and soon became fast friends. The kobolds greatly admired his snake hat and assumed he was a mighty clan leader. When Oleg arrived he was less then pleased to see them or there dubious wares. He took everything but the badger and give them each a silver coin for the trouble. Also, as


in a serving pitcher for the guest to drink and took the rest of the jug in the main house for Oleg. A few minutes later, after the group at the guest table where properly “refreshed”. Yelling and loud banging could be heard coming from the main house, where Oleg and his wife where dining. The Magus was the first to investigate. He discovered the room in complete disarray; with Svetlana hiding underneath the dinner table weeping and Oleg wildly swinging a hammer yelling “Get away from me you vile pixies; I do no want your forbidden love!” The Magus tried to disarm him but took a hit to the forehead for his efforts. The Magus was able to eventually subdue Oleg and handcuffed him to a chair.The Magus then returned back to the table to report his findings. After hearing about the rampaging pixies the fighter (James) ran to the house to slay the creatures. He soon returned proclaiming himself victorious. It was around this time that the goblin agreed to share his snake hat with his new kobold brethren. As soon as the hat was placed on a kobold he declared himself clan chief, grabbed the picture of rum and attempted a hasty escape. The goblin and other kobold give chase, each desiring the sweet sweet rum for their own. The goblin was caught but ended up spilling the rum when he dropped the severing picture. The kobold continued running aimlessly through the camp while the goblin fell instantly asleep, exhausted from his


efforts and the rum. Soon after, the rest of the group retired to the guest house.

The next day the bandits came, as expected. Luckily, there was enough time to put the finishing touches on their trap pit before they arrived. Unluckily, Oleg was in no condition to fulfill his role as human bait. That morning, the Magus found Oleg right where he left him; handcuffed to the dinning room chair. When Oleg refused to play his part due to his being violated by malicious fey creatures the Magus beat him unconscious with a chair. That awoke his wife; together they carried him to the bed where the inquisitor could heal him. The party then held a sword to Oleg throat and threatened to kill Oleg if he didn’tpost. Caught off guard the surviving bandits where put down with minimal effort. The leader was some what of a challenge, yelling insults and dropping a party member before being slain in one hit with a vicious blow.

Once that was sorted, the group went back to the main house to check on the couple and report there victory. Oleg and his wife where glad to hear of the bandits but were obviously unhappy by the mistreatment they befell at the hands of there supposed heroes. Thinly veiling there outage, they offer the party free room and food for as long as they require it. They also encouraged the group to start there mission as soon as possible.

It was a lot of Role Playing, a decent amount of skill


checks, and some combat. The city of Restov was nearly burnt to the ground due to a Tengu wizard’s ill-conceived plan to win the right to explore the stolen lands using a fiery display of alchemy and magic. By being instrumental in cowing the rampaging fire elementals, the Knight Commander of the city guard and the Lord Mayor awarded our players the charters plus gave them extra gold to compensate them for their noble service. As far as the city is concerned, the Tengu was a scheming craven who piloted to destroy the fair city and the player’s are the heroes who valiantly stop him. The actual truth of the matter however is not nearly as “cut and dry” as what the people of Restov would have youyear, but it isn't too late to start reviewing what the product has to offer.

'Stay Cool': Kudlow Tells Farmers to Be Optimistic on Potential Tariffs

Former federal prosecutor Joe diGenova ripped special counsel Robert Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in the wake of the raid on Trump lawyer Michael Cohen's properties.

DiGenova, who served as U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, said the raid on Cohen was an "unconstitutional and unprofessional search."

He said Cohen was cooperating with the special counsel and was not deserving of the severe treatment on behalf of the Southern District of New York.

DiGenova also agreed with some critics who said Rosenstein must be relieved of duty due to conflicts of interest and an alleged bias against Trump.

"Rod Rosenstein is so incompetent, compromised and conflicted that he canFocusing on the Minsk Protocol and Memorandum, the SMM continued monitoring the situation in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, still noting that violence is continuing in a number of places.

A representative of the Kharkiv Regional Employment Centre told the SMM in Kharkiv that from 1 May to 6 October, 9,269 internally displaced persons (IDPs) from the Donetsk and Luhansk regions and the Crimean peninsula had requested help in finding employment. Of those, only 1,331 were registered by the centre – after having had their employment histories verified – and 400 were helped find a job, according to the interlocutor.

The SMM noted that the situation was calm at the Melove Border Crossing Point (136 km north-east of Luhansk city) on the Russian-Ukrainian border. Ukrainian border guards said they had


observed no significant movement of military personnel or hardware in the area, and none across the border, recently. The Border Crossing Point was, according to border guards at the time, subject to an RPG attack (see Daily Report of 11 August 2014).

The SMM heard a total of six rounds – of an unspecified nature – impacting in the north of Donetsk city at two separate times – at midday and in the late afternoon. Residents of a north-eastern suburb of the city also told the SMM that the area had been shelled the previous evening, consistent with what the SMM had heard at the time (see Daily Report of 6 October 2014). The SMM visited the area and noted some shrapnel damage, numerous craters, and what appeared tobe an Uragan rocket in the area. A number of residents told the SMM that a man and woman had required hospitalization as a result of the shelling.

Ukrainian checkpoint commanders at various locations to the north and north-east of Mariupol (113 km south of Donetsk city) told the SMM of shelling directed at the checkpoints the previous evening. The SMM – whilst at the checkpoints – neither observed nor heard shelling, nor saw any indication that shelling may have recently taken place.

Whilst in Debaltseve (75 km north-east of Donetsk city), the SMM was informed by a senior Ukrainian military officer that there had in the previous 24 hours been 76 “ceasefire” violations – 42 by the separatists and 34 by the Ukrainian Army – in the Debaltseve area,


resulting in one fatality and 13 injuries. The SMM observed no incidents in the area, and saw nothing that would substantiate the allegations made by the officer.

The situation remained calm in Dnipropetrovsk and Kherson.

The self-styled ataman (commander) of the “the Black Sea Cossack Army” – which is constituted as an NGO in Odessa city – told the SMM that the 3,000 members of the group had been subject to what he described as persecution, following the 2 May Trade Union Building fire incident in Odessa. He informed the SMM that the members of the NGO were receiving military training to defend themselves against possible attack.

The situation remained calm in Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv and Kyiv.

The plaintiffs in this case are five white police officers employed by the Metropolitan District Commission (MDC), an agency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. On April 23, 1983, they took a competitive examination to determine their eligibility for promotion to captain. In early June, 1984, one temporary captain position became available. On July 6, 1984, Donald E. Callender (Callender), a black police officer, was awarded the position, although his score on the examination was lower than those of the plaintiffs. Callender was awarded the job as a result of the MDC's efforts to comply with the "minority employment objectives" established by a consent decree entered by this Court on August 27, 1979 in Culbreath v. Dukakis (D.Mass., No. 74-2463-MA). That consent decreeentered in response to a class action brought by plaintiffs who alleged significant under-representation of minorities in several Massachusetts agencies, including the MDC. The decree included a stipulation that it was designed to remedy the widespread discriminatory employment practices alleged in the complaint.
The mechanics of the decree were as follows. Each affected state agency was to establish two separate civil service eligibility lists for each job title covered by the decree. The first list would be the usual list required by state law. The second would be a special minority eligibility list, from which the agency was to select applicants until the "annual minority hiring objective" for the job category and department was met.
In the present case, the MDC had failed to meet its annual minority hiring objective


class action and eventually approved a consent decree on April 25, 1980.
The decree adopted a long-term goal of increasing the proportion of minority representation in numerous job classifications. The City explicitly stated that it did not, by signing the decree, admit the allegations of the complaint concerning any violations of law. Neither the decree nor a prior, 1974 City-wide decree mentioned what was to happen in the event of any layoffs or reductions in rank. Neither decree awarded any competitive seniority.
In 1981, projected budget deficits required the City to announce layoffs of nonessential personnel. These layoffs were to be made on the "last hired, first hired" rule applicable generally to all City employees. A black firefighter thereupon sought and received from the district court a temporary restraining order– also known as the Umbrella Galaxy – display enormous arcs of stars that resemble an open umbrella. This galaxy's stellar streams extend up to 50,000 light-years away from its center. The dwarf galaxy corpse had been detected by earlier observations, but had never been interpreted as a tidal stream.

The other galaxies in the survey showed a striking diversity in the shapes of their stellar streams, the authors write, including fuzzy clouds, great circles surrounding the larger galaxy and long spikes and plumes extending thousands of light-years from the galactic center.

"Each halo displays a unique and very complex pattern of stellar debris caused by different defunct companions," the researchers write.

The variety of shapes neatly matches the shapes predicted by computer simulations of galaxy formation, suggesting that current theories


New York Governor Andrew Cuomo warned that the city "is a test case" and urged other states to "look at us today... we are your future".

He said: "New York is the canary in the coal mine, New York is happening first, what is happening to New York will happen to California and Illinois, it is just a matter of time".

Mr Cuomo also addressed President Trump's point about protecting the economy, saying that Americans would not suggest accelerating the economy at the cost of human life.

He also said New York needed ventilators at the most right now, but offered New York resources once the virus worsens in another state.the Debtor for the purpose of making the crops, proceeds of which went to Farmers Home Administration.
The Complaint seeks recovery based upon the provisions of the Code of Alabama 1975 which provide for a priority of lien or claim upon the crops or proceeds from the sale of crops to the landlord.
By a Summons and Notice of Trial entered on May 27, 1981, the Complaint was set to be heard at Dothan on Wednesday, June 10, 1981. Notice was supplied to the Debtor and his attorney, to the Trustee and to the Plaintiff's attorney.
Then on June 9, 1981, the United States by the United States Attorney filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint as against the Farmers Home Administration on the grounds that Plaintiff had failed to perfect


service in accordance with Rule 704(c)(4) of the Bankruptcy Rules, that he had failed to state a claim against the United States of America upon which relief could be granted, that the Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction, and that the Court lacked jurisdiction over the United States of America in that the suit is an unauthorized suit against a non-suable Federal agency and is barred by the doctrine of sovereign immunity.
When the matter came on for hearing on June 10, 1981, at Dothan, there was present the attorney for the Plaintiff and the attorney for the United States, Assistant United States Attorney, Calvin C. Pryor.
The Court concluded that the matter was not ready for trial and that some preliminary issues relating to the jurisdiction of the Court hadurban area was brought with complaints of academic decline since 3 years and hearing voices for the past 2 years. The child was born out of a nonconsanguineous marriage, an unplanned, uneventful, but wanted pregnancy. The child attained developmental milestones as per age. From his early childhood, he was exposed to aggressive behavior of his father, who often attempted to discipline him and in this pursuit at times was abusive and aggressive toward him. Marital problems and domestic violence since marriage lead to divorce of parents when the child attained age of 10 years.

The following year, the child and the mother moved to maternal grandparents' home and his school was also changed. Within a year of this, a decline in his academic performance with handwriting deterioration, and irritable


and sad behaviour was noted. Complaints from school were often received by the mother where the child was found engaged in fist fights and undesirable behavior. He also preferred solitary activities and resented to eat with the rest of the family. In addition, a decline in performance of daily routine activities was seen. No history suggestive of depressive cognitions at that time was forthcoming. A private psychiatrist was consulted who treated him with sodium valproate up to 400 mg/day for nearly 2 months which led to a decline in his irritability and aggression. But the diagnosis was deferred and the medications were gradually tapered and stopped. Over the next 1 year, he also started hearing voices that fulfilled dimensions of commanding type of auditory hallucinations. He suspected thatand adoption of abnormal postures since 6 months. He was born out of a nonconsanguineous marriage, uneventful birth, and pregnancy. He was third in birth order and achieved developmental milestones at an appropriate age. Since 2 years, he would not attend to his studies, had poor attention, and difficult memorization. He attributed it to lack of friends at school and asked for school change. There was no history of low mood, depressive cognitions, conduct problems, or bullying and he performed his daily routine like his premorbid self at that time. Since a year, he was observed to repeat certain acts such as pacing in the room from one end to another, continuously for up to 1--2 h, with intermittent stops and often insisted his mother to follow the


suit, stand nearby him, or else he would clang on her. He prohibited other family members except his mother near him and would accept his meals only from her. He repeatedly sought assurance of his mother if he had spoken everything right. He also washed his hands repeatedly, up to 10--20 times at one time, and was unable to elaborate reason for the same. His mood during that period was largely irritable with no sadness or fearfulness. He mostly wore the same set of clothes, would be forced to take bath or get nails/hair trimmed, and efforts to these were often met with aggression from the patient. Eventually, he stopped going to school and his family sought faith healing. Within the next 5--6 months, his illness worsened. Fixedimprovement. At follow-ups, he started participating at farm work of the family, took care of self, with some repetition of acts such as washing of hands, and denied any associated anxiety symptoms. However, efforts to re-enroll in school had been futile as the child did not agree for it. He has been maintaining at the same level since 6 months of discharge.

Case 3 {#sec2-3}
------

A 7-year-old girl, student of second class, belonging to a high socioeconomic status family living in an urban locality was brought with complaints of academic decline, irritability, and abnormal behavior for the past 9 months. The child was born out of a nonconsanguineous marriage, is first in order, and was a wanted child. Maternal health during pregnancy was normal, but the period of labor was


prolonged beyond 18 h, so a lower segment caesarean section was performed. There was no history of birth-related complications and the child\'s birth weight was 2.80 kg. The child attained developmental milestones as per age. The child had a temperament characterized by high activity levels, below average threshold of distractibility, average ability to sustain attention and persist, easy to warm up, adaptation to new situations, and regular bowel and bladder habits. She was enrolled in school at the age of 4 years and progressed well till 9 months back when a decline in her academic interest was observed by her class teacher. Deterioration of her handwriting skills and avoidance of group activities in school were observed. Similarly, at home persistent irritable behavior was seen and her play activitiescertain abnormal gestures. She often feared staying alone, or while going to bed insisted the lights to be kept on and ask someone to accompany her in the toilet unlike her previous self. When asked, she reported seeing a lady in white clothes, with no other details. She stopped asking for food on her own and remained lost in her fantasy world. However, her interest in dressing and appreciating herself in mirror persisted. Her mood during this period was mostly labile and often changed from cheerful to sad or irritable. As per the family, the medications were continued as advised. So in view of the emerging picture, the diagnosis was revised to schizo-affective disorder, and in addition to hike in dose of sodium valproate to 500 mg/day, risperidone


the presence of comorbidities and an organic etiology or history of maternal illness during pregnancy is a common finding in VEOS.\[[@ref10]\] In addition, obsessive compulsive symptoms are frequently observed in first-episode drug-naive schizophrenia patients and have a poorer outcome, more severe impairment of social behavior, and lower functioning.\[[@ref12]\] However, in many instances it is very difficult to differentiate the obsessive compulsive symptoms from the motor symptoms of schizophrenia such as stereotypy and mannerisms and varying degree of insight.\[[@ref13]\]

In the present case series, all the children had an insidious onset of illness, with initial symptom of academic decline, and poorly formed psychotic symptoms/psychotic-like experiences. All the children reported here had dropped out of school, showed a shift in their interests, withdrew from social circle, appeared to be distant, hadwas driving because it had an expired inspection sticker.  According
to Ingram, after stopping the car he noticed that "the trunk lock had been busted out" and that
"there were no keys in the ignition but the car was running."  Suspecting that the car was stolen,
he asked the dispatcher to check the license plate number.  When Ingram asked Blacknall to get
out of the car, he was unable to produce his driver's license or proof of insurance.  Meanwhile,
Ingram received a report that the license plate number did not correspond to the year, make, and
model of the car he had stopped.  Ingram informed Blacknall that he was under arrest for fictitious
registration and an expired inspection sticker.  According to Ingram, while conducting a pat-down
search, he felt several


"rock, pebble-like substances" in Blacknall's pocket.  When Ingram
attempted to remove the substances, Blacknall removed his hands from the car, grabbed Ingram's
right hand, began to spin and twist to get away, and struck Ingram in his right eye, breaking his
glasses.  At that point Ingram drew his weapon and told Blacknall that the fight was over.  After
feigning a surrender, however, Blacknall managed to get back in the car and drive away.  After
a high-speed chase, Blacknall was captured in a field by a DPS trooper.  On cross-examination
Ingram testified that he never handled Blacknall roughly, never laid a hand on him until frisking
him, never "laid a foot on him," and never made any threats to him.
      On direct examination Blacknall described the manner in which he was friskedSeated Portrait of Minamoto no Yoritomo

is an anonymous wooden sculpture from the 13th or 14th centuries presumably depicting Minamoto no Yoritomo, now part of the collection of the Tokyo National Museum.

Minamoto no Yoritomo (1147–1199) was the founder and the first shōgun of the Kamakura Shogunate of Japan. He ruled from 1192 until 1199. It is generally agreed that the sculpture might be an image of him, but this attribution is not completely certain.

Dated from the Kamakura period (1185-1333), it is believed that this sculpture was enshrined in the Tsurugaoka Hachimangū Shinto shrine in Kamakura, a place of worship strongly linked to the Minamoto family. It is also said that when Toyotomi Hideyoshi visited the shrine, he talked to the sculpture  of Yoritomo while patting it on its

Desk 2.0 – From the depth of the Baltic Sea

I’ve been savoring the move to the new house and slowly trying and contemplating different ways of arranging and showcasing the models and having the tools available and organized.

Some objects of note.

My grandfather after serving in the Finnish Army and the two wars against the Russians heard there are mines in Baltic Sea and decided someone should clear them so he joined the Navy. The set of glasses was passed down to me. His set for the special occasion and a potent drink. The glasses have been designed by Tapio Wirkkala, one of the all time greatest designers and rest in a display case machined into a block of wood recovered from a hull of a very old shiplaying in the bottom of the gulf.

The stool belonged to my other grandfather, also a veteran of the war, and later a photographer. I spent a lot of time in his studio growing up, a magical place of german and swiss hardware, with a very contrasting dark room that smelled of old wood and different chemicals used to develop the photographs. The stool is designed by Alvar Aalto, and was apart of a pioneering collection of furniture for Artek, and this stool is 75 years old. They still make them. Behind it is a Speaker from a company called Unmonday that I co-designed and co-founded. And underneath it a wooden chest from a brilliant American company called Best Made

Catholic Activity: Holy Thursday in the Home with the Trapp Family

Maria Trapp describes how her family celebrates Holy Thursday in the home, including simple guidelines for lunch and dinner.

DIRECTIONS

On Thursday morning all the bells in church are rung during the Gloria, after which they remain silent until Saturday morning. The children believe that they fly to Rome to be blessed by the Holy Father. Throughout Thursday and Friday and Saturday morning the job of summoning the faithful is taken over by a wooden clapper.

And so it is in our house. The bell-ringing for the meals or family devotions is also substituted by a hand clapper. It is handled by the youngest member of the family, who announces solemnly from door to door with a terrific noise that lunchis ready.

Holy Thursday has a menu all its own. For the noon meal we have the traditional spring herb soup and afterward, spinach with fried eggs. The evening finds the family around the festive supper table in Sunday clothes for a solemn celebration.

At the father's place are specially made hot cross buns and a cup of wine for every member of the household. Making the sign of the Cross over the first bun while breaking it he hands it, together with a cup of wine, to the mother, and then down the line to all the others in the same way.

The family waits, standing, until the father has blessed bread and wine for every one. Then they sit down and slowly eat and drink "in His memory," while


the father reads the Gospel of the Last Supper.

After this, the Easter Lamb is brought in. It should be barbecued or roasted as a whole. The father, carving it, serves it to the members of his family. There should not be anything left over. Afterwards, the members of the family take turns going to church, where the Blessed Sacrament is kept on a special altar among flowers and candles, not exposed, however, but locked up in the tabernacle in memory of that night in prison. So we all take turns keeping Him company.

In Rabbis, Sorcerers, Kings, and Priests: The Culture of the Talmud in Ancient Iran (University of California Press, 2015), Jason Mokhtarian, Assistant Professor of Jewish Studies and Religious Studies at the Indiana University, puts the Babylonian Talmud in its Persian context. He lays out a research program for Talmud studies that is contextual, rather than literary or exegetical.

(Reuters) – Pennsylvania environmental regulators suspended all permit work for Energy Transfer LP after the company failed to comply with an October order following an explosion of the Revolution natural gas pipe in the western part of the state in September.

The company said the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) action on Friday did not affect operation of any pipeline that is in service or construction where permits have already been issued.

Energy Transfer said it is “committed to bringing the Revolution project into full compliance with all environmental permits and applicable regulations.”

In October, the DEP ordered Energy Transfer to “stabilize disturbed areas” of Revolution and “prevent further erosion from the construction area.” The DEP, however, said the company “had not fulfilledmuch of its policy awfulness by hiding it away from the public, in particular by sneaking awful ideas into secretly negotiated trade agreements, and then turning around and demanding that democratically elected legislatures write laws to match what he helped the RIAA sneak into those agreements. Or how about the will of "the people" when Turkewitz's RIAA colleague, just months before taking his job with the RIAA literally snuck four words overnight into a bill that would help the RIAA member labels take away rights from all of its artists. Was that "the will of the people"?

pre-season for Juventus and, although a central midfielder, his versatility and various injuries saw him dropped into defence in the opening day win over Parma. As in previous games he maintained his concentration throughout and made all the right moves, coolly operating 10 metres behind Andrea Pirlo while also acting as a sweeper. He has played at every level for Juve’s youth sides and was a crucial part of the Primavera side that won two Viareggio Carnival Cups.

Manolo Gabbiadini (Juventus-Bologna 26/11/1991)

Although a top graduate of the renowned Atalanta nursery, Manolo struggled to break into the first team with German Denis as first choice. However, he did star for the Azzurrini, scoring nine goals in 13 games. Completely at home with the ball, he has an exciting ability toamazingly mature for one so young and as such will not be unnerved by the comparisons. His shot-stopping skills, positioning and lightning reflexes made former Juventus Coach Gigi Maifredi remark, that the youngster will make “Italian football history.”

Mattia De Sciglio (Milan 17/06/1990)

Mattia is still learning his trade but made his Serie A debut last season and never let anyone down. Has been given the number two shirt and in the mould of Marcos Cafu and Mauro Tassotti is an explosive powerful right back, who can also play on the left. A regular with the Italian U19 side, he was also called up as an unused substitute in the recent Azzurri-England game.

Richmond Boakye (Juventus-Sassuolo 28/01/1993)

After joining Genoa in 2009, at just 17 he made an historic start to his


career becoming the first Ghanaian to score on his debut. Last season he really hit his stride scoring 12 in 34 games on loan at Serie B side Sassuolo and helped them into the promotion play-offs. Obviously his goal-scoring feats did not go noticed and Juventus acquired him on a co-ownership deal. After playing in pre-season he has returned to Sassuolo on loan.

Diego Fabbrini (Udinese 31/07/1990)

‘Fabbri’ made his name in a break out season with Empoli before moving to Udinese last summer. Yet although it took him some time to settle, towards the end of last season he was unmarkable and one of the main reasons Udinese finished in the top three. With the balance and flair to take him past players, he has also caught the eyethe offensive. Seen as one of the players that Roma will build their future around, he has been loaned to Padova to gain experience, as Daniele De Rossi stands in his way in the first team for now.

Alberto Masi (Juventus 2/09/1992)

The elegant central defender impressed with Pro Vercelli in the Lega Pro first division and was a leading light in their promotion into Serie B last season. A natural footballer he is most comfortable on the left side of a flat back four and is more suited to a cerebral game than the outright physical, not that he shirks a tackle when it is needed.

ALGIERS, March 10 (Xinhua) -- The African Union (AU) has decided to launch the African Free Trade Zone, Moussa Faki Mahamat, the head of the AU Commission, said here Saturday.

"On the 31st summit in January in Addis Ababa, we took some very important decisions, particularly the African Free Trade Zone (AFTZ), which will be on the agenda of the next summit on March 21 in Kigali in Rwanda, in addition to the African passport and air transport in the continent," the visiting AU chief told reporters upon his arrival at Algiers International Airport.

All African heads of state and government have been invited to Kigali to sign AFTZ agreement, he added.

It is the first official visit of Faki Mahamat since he was elected as the chairperson of the Africanabout it we have three islands all surrounded by water,” he said.

Mr. Howell said the organisational structure of the two agencies are yet to be determined but the chief officer assures the goal is to have Caymanians at the helm and succession planning in place.
The creation of the Coast Guard was recommended following a probe into Cayman’s search and rescue capabilities after Caymanians Gary Mullings, Edsel Haylock, Nicholas Walter… And brothers kamron and Kanyi Brown were lost at sea last year.

CHINIOT: A man in Punjab was duped into marrying a transgender person, who fled shortly after robbing him of money, Geo News reported on Thursday.

52-year-old Gulzar, a resident of Chiniot district, contracted a second marriage with the bride, named Sonia, in court after paying Rs150,000 to the ‘fraud’ gang comprising Ghulam Nabi and Safdar, who pretended to be relatives of the bride.

The gang administered the man’s nikah three days before marrying off their accomplice (a transgender) to Gulzar.

It was not until the man brought the bride home when he realized he had been duped into marrying a transgender.

According to reports, Gulzar had wanted to marry for the second time as he has no child with his first wife.humans — there was nowhere much for it to go. It made the members of the tribe very sick, or maybe killed them, and that was it.

Then about ten thousand years ago, people began to settle down in the fertile river valleys of the Levant, Egypt and India, cultivating crops and raising livestock. Settlements grew into cities which became empires.

It was godsend for micro-organisms. Now they could spread much further and infect far more people. As trade routes opened up, sudden and devastating pestilences originating in Africa and the Levant swept into Greek and Roman worlds, devastating populations, destroying armies and changing the course of history.

But the deadliest of all arrived when the trade routes opened to the East. In the 13th century, trade between Europe and China


took off, thanks to the open border polices of the Mongols and the insatiable demand by Europeans for perfumes of Arabia, the silks of China, and the spices of India.

The Black Death arrives

In 1334 in the north-eastern Chinese province of Hopei, China, a new disease appeared. Highly virulent, highly infectious, it killed about 90 percent of the population — some 5,000,000 people. It then made its way west, striking India, Syria, and Mesopotamia.

In 1346, it struck a Genoese trading station Kaffa on the Crimean Peninsula of the Black Sea - right between the empires of Islam and Christianity. Kaffa was under siege from the Muslim Tartar forces and its inhabitants were starving. Suddenly though, the Tartars started dropping like flies. The Black Death had arrived.

But therewas little comfort for the besieged Genoese. Before retreating, the commander of the Tartars catapulted a few plague infested corpses over the city walls. Hoping to escape, the Genoese sailed away in four ships. But by the time they reached Messina, Sicily, most of those on board were already dead. The ships were ordered out of the harbour - but too late. The Great Pestilence, as it would come to be known, had reached Europe.

Here's a description from a Giovanni Boccaccio, who was there when it struck his home town of Florence in 1348:-

"... it began with swellings in the groin and armpit, in both men and women, some of which were as big as apples and some of which were shaped like eggs, some were small and


others were large; the common people called these swellings gavoccioli. From these two parts of the body, the fatal gavaccioli would begin to spread and within a short while would appear over the entire body in various spots; the disease at this point began to take on the qualities of a deadly sickness, and the body would be covered with dark and livid spots, which would appear in great numbers on the arms, the thighs, and other parts of the body; some were large and widely spaced while some were small and bunched together. And just like the gavaciolli earlier, these were certain indications of coming death."

Boccaccio was one of the few who didn't do too badly out of the plague — it gave him the idea for— 50 percent of cases.

Bubonic plague became endemic wherever black rats and fleas lived which was mainly ports and rural villages in temperate climates. As people moved about, it spread. The black rat is a good climber and likes to feed on grain in the cargoes of ships, and that way it travelled to new ports and spread and infected the rat population of a new destination.

So during the Age of Empires and the Middle Ages, as trade advanced, it spread from the Levant to the ports of the Mediterranean. The last wave of epidemics coincided with the invention of the railways and the steam ship around the turn of the century which gave the black rat the chance to find new destinations. Epidemics broke out in California,


South America, South Africa, and in 1900, Australia, where it invaded the Rocks area of Sydney and from there spread up and down the east coast. Today it's endemic in parts of Africa and Asia, where, according to the World Health Organisation, it kills about 3000 people each year.

Was Bubonic plague the cause of the Black Death?

The descriptions given by Boccaccio and others didn't seem to fit with what we know about bubonic plague. That was the view of two British researchers, Christopher Duncan and Susan Scott from the University of Liverpool, who in 2001 published a book called Biology of Plagues: Evidence from Historical Populations. In it they pointed out several things that didn't make sense if indeed, the Black Death was caused by bubonic20 days. During this time — the period between exposure to the virus and getting the symptoms — the person was infectious and spread the disease, unbeknownst to the population.

Here's what they think probably happened. A person — a soldier perhaps or a travelling tradesman who was infected with the Black Death, but wasn't yet ill, arrived in a new town and took up lodgings. That person infected the rest of the household who spread it to other households (usually via visiting children) to the entire village or town. After about two to three weeks the traveller died. Then others fell ill and died. Meanwhile someone from the village had travelled into another village spreading the disease and so on. That's why the disease appeared to travel so


of Derbyshire in an area known as the Peak District, in central England.

The Black Death suddenly struck this tiny village in September 1665. The town's rector persuaded the villagers to quarantine themselves to prevent the disease from spreading through the region. During the period of isolation, food was left for the villagers at a well on the parish boundary high up on the hill above the village, and paid for by coins which were dipped in vinegar to disinfect them. It seemed to work, because none of the surrounding areas were affected by the plague. A year later, the first outsiders ventured into Eyam. About half the town had survived.

Genetics to the rescue

In 1996, researchers from the National Institutes of Health in Washington D.C. led byhave occurred around 700 years ago — around the time of the first major plague epidemic, say Duncan and Scott.

It appears that, beginning 700 years ago, the Black Death increased the genetic frequency of CCR5-delta 32 mutation in the Caucasian gene pool. This protected these populations from later epidemics of both the Black Death and also HIV. The populations of Asia, and Africa had no such protection — and this also explains why HIV/AIDS has spread more quickly there. It also appears that, like HIV, the Black Death was caused by a virus, say Duncan and Scott.

They say that during the period of the Great Pestilence there were probably two separate plagues — a viral haemorrhagic fever in Europe, the Black Death; and a bubonic plague in Asia


killed so many of the population so quickly that those left either had genetic resistance or immunity. It had nowhere to go. Bubonic plague was more successful from an evolutionary point of view. It was (and is) deadly too, but it caused sporadic outbreaks in isolated areas, leaving the rest of the population disease free possibly to be infected in future. So bubonic plague survives.

But both epidemics were only possible because of the increased movement of people from place to place. In the Middle Ages, disease could only spread as fast as a person could walk or a ship could sail. In the twenty first century, a new disease could cross the globe by air in twenty-four hours, say Duncan and Scott. Will there another epidemic? Undoubtedly.

Comey also exonerated Crooked Hillary of her criminal email investigation before interviewing 17 witnesses, including Clinton!

The corrupt former FBI Director may have also perjured himself when he said under oath he decided to exonerate Hillary Clinton after her July meeting with the FBI when a report suggests the move was decided much earlier in the year.

You got it backwards, Comey. Our country will only heal when the corrupt Obama administration is brought to justice. This includes Comey, Clinton, Rice, Lynch, Holder, Mueller, McCabe, Rosenstein and many others.

The Luer Taper is a standardized system of small-scale fluid fittings used for making leak-free connections between a male-taper fitting and its mating female part on medical and laboratory instruments, including hypodermic syringe tips and needles or stopcocks and needles. Named after the 19th century German medical instrument maker Hermann Wulfing Luer, it originated as a 6% taper fitting for glass bottle stoppers. Key features of Luer Taper connectors are defined in the ISO 594 standards. It is also defined in the DIN and EN standard 1707:1996 and 20594-1:1993.
There are two varieties of Luer Taper connections: Luer-Lok and Luer-Slip.

Prepared dictation from Ivanhoe: It was not until evening was nearly closed that Ivanhoe was restored to consciousness of his situation. He awoke from a broken slumber, under the confused impressions which are naturally attendant on the recovery from a state of insensibility. He was unable for some time to recall exactly to memory the circumstances which had preceded his fall in the lists, or to make out any connected chain of the events in which he had been engaged upon the yesterday.


A sense of wounds and injury, joined to great weakness and exhaustion, was mingled with the recollection of blows dealt and received, of steeds rushing upon each other, overthrowing and overthrown---of shouts and clashing of arms, and all the heady tumult of a confused fight. An effort to draw aside the curtain of his conch was in some degree successful, although rendered difficult by the pain of his wound.

To his great surprise he found himself in a room magnificently furnished, but having cushions instead of chairs to rest upon, and in other respects partaking so much of Oriental costume, that he began to doubt whether he had not, during his sleep, been transported back again to the land of Palestine.
