If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And theyIn a conclusion of Washington, D.C.’s Education Week, the District announced a scholarship partnership that will provide valedictorians and salutatorians from public and public charter schools full scholarships to the University of the District of Columbia. The announcement also included a plan to create more space for current charter schools, which would otherwise be relocated.

Mayor Muriel Bowser, Deputy Mayor for Education Jennifer Niles and University of the District of Columbia President Ronald Mason, Jr. jointly initiated the scholarships, called the District of Columbia University Partnership, which will allow students to receive four full years of schooling free of tuition.

Bowser stressed the initiative’s importance in creating a robust middle class through this partnership with D.C.’s only public university at a press conference Feb. 5.

“We are cementing a pathway to


the middle class for our students with this innovative program at the University of the District of Columbia,” Bowser said. “I am proud to continue to work with UDC as we make critical investments in District youth.”

D.C. Public Schools Press Secretary Michelle Lerner declined to comment on the initiative.

Bowser and Niles also introduced a plan to solicit two excess DCPS school buildings, which aims to create more long-term space for public charter schools. The plan will allow charter schools to make needed capital improvements and provide sustained programming to students and families.

The new solicitation will also allow charter schools to sign multiyear leases for the buildings where Keene Elementary School in Ward 5 and P.R. Harris in Ward 8 are currently located.

D.C. Public Charter School Board Executive DirectorThe Anaheim Ducks have been an NHL franchise for 20 years, and a large part of their success is a product of Randy Carlyle’s tenure behind the bench. In seven years of coaching Carlyle holds all the benchmarks, including 273 wins in 516 games and a Stanley Cup in 2007. The beginning of the 2011-12 season saw the Ducks trundle out to a 7-13-4 start forcing Anaheim brass to part ways with Carlyle on December 1st. Three months later, Carlyle would replace Ron Wilson for a job behind the Toronto Maple Leafs’ bench, and would never look back.

Since being hired by Brian Burke, Carlyle’s squad has played to the tune of 67-49-16, good for a .568 win percentage (only .02 behind his mark in California). Carlyle was instrumental


in Toronto’s return to the playoffs last season, an achievement eight years in the making. Since taking on the role, Carlyle has largely been dealing with a lot of grief for the way his squad wins, nevermind the fact the Leafs are currently third overall in the Eastern Conference. But Carlyle had a tall order to face upon arriving in Anaheim. The Ducks sit second overall in the league and have the second best goals-for as well, making them a dangerous squad to begin a five-game Western road swing against. However, he seemed to know exactly what to do.

Last Night’s Matchup

The Leafs flew in as one of the hottest teams in the league, going 13-3-3 in their last 19 games, and they managed to improve after a 3-1a goal. Perry, Getzlaf and Maroon cycled for a good thirty seconds before the three connected on a pretty one against an exhausted Leafs defence. However, that was all the Ducks were capable of for the rest of the game.

Perry led all players with eight shots, two more than Phil Kessel and three more than any other Duck. Yet Perry alone wasn’t enough to contain the pure speed and ingenuity of Kessel, who ended the game with a stellar breakaway goal and two assists. Tyler Bozak had another all-star performance as he also managed a goal and two assists to give him 40 points in 42 games.

A woman had a copper intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD)
inserted by a family planning clinic. Around five months before the
IUCD was due to be removed, the woman presented to her GP medical
centre. She received treatment for bacterial vaginosis (BV), and
advised the nurse that she had an IUCD in place, which was due to
be removed. The nurse recorded this in the woman's clinical
notes.

The woman saw her GP at the medical centre about a month later.
She recalls telling the GP that she had an IUCD in place. The GP
said she did not ask the woman about contraceptive use and history,
and was not aware the woman had an IUCD in place. The woman
enquired with the medical centre about Mirena (a different type of
intrauterine system) as an option for management of heavy menstrual
bleeding.Her GP arranged special authority for a Mirena.

The woman attended an appointment with her GP to have the Mirena
inserted. The GP performed pelvic and speculum examinations, and
told HDC the results of these assessments were normal and there
were no strings from an existing IUCD visible. The GP did not
remove the existing IUCD before inserting the Mirena.

The woman attended a follow-up appointment and her GP performed
a vaginal examination and noted the Mirena was in place. The woman
attended a further follow-up appointment with another GP at the
medical centre who performed a vaginal examination and noted the
Mirena was in place. The woman had recurring BV which was treated
with antibiotics.

The following year, an X-ray was taken of the woman's back
following a fall. This revealed two contraceptive devices in her
uterine cavity. The woman returned


Curtain side airbag systems are commonly known and used. Curtain side airbags may be positioned in various locations within the passenger compartment of a vehicle. For instance it is known to place a curtain side airbag in the headliner of a vehicle so as to protect the head of the occupant during an accident. The curtain side airbag displaces a portion of the headliner or trim panel and deploys into the vehicle passenger area to protect the head of the passenger.
It is commonly known to mount trim components, such as a vent assembly, onto a trim panel, such as a headliner. A vent assembly typically consists of a trim component and a fin subassembly. The fin subassembly typically encompasses a plurality of fins and an actuator operatively configuredBREAKING: Danny Noppert wants to go further in the BDO before considering switch to the PDC

By Alex Moss12 DECEMBER 2016 • 7:23PM

Danny Noppert has played down rumours linking him with a move from the BDO to the PDC next year.

The 25-year-old Dutchman has enjoyed a breakthrough year on the BDO circuit, winning the Scottish Open, German Open and Masters of Waregem, as well as finishing runner-up in the Dutch Open.

Noppert, who is currently ranked fourth in the BDO, made an impressive debut in the Grand Slam of Darts last month – the cross-code tournament which features players from both the PDC and the BDO.

After finishing second in a group which included five-time world champion Raymond van Barneveld and seventh seed Mensur Suljovic, Noppert was narrowly beaten in the

Pinning his scrotum to the ground in Red Square, a political artist makes global headlines

by

Jon Queally, staff writer

Russian performance artist and political activist Pyotr Pavlensky put his balls where his convictions are on Sunday when he literally nailed his scrotum to the cobble stones of Red Square in Moscow in order to call attention to the pervasive corruption of the nation's ruling oligarchs, a repressive "police state," and the apathy of his fellow citizens who refuse to challenge the status quo.

In a singular act of both self-brutalizition and political expression, Pavlensky stripped naked, sat down in the center of the busy square, and pinned himself to the ground with a six-inch nail.

"The


performance can be seen as a metaphor for the apathy, political indifference and fatalism of contemporary Russian society," Pavlensky said in a prepared statement. "As the government turns the country into one big prison, stealing from the people and using the money to grow and enrich the police apparatus and other repressive structures, society is allowing this, and forgetting its numerical advantage, is bringing the triumph of the police state closer by its inaction."

Pavlensky remained seated motionless as Russian police first covered him with a jacket and then later removed him from the square.

As the Indepedent reports, figures from across the Russian arts world praised the performance, with one calling it “a manifesto of powerlessness”.

Though most available footage of the act censored the details, the original video aswell as Pavlensky's public statement were posted to the Russian website Grani.ru [warning: graphic]. For a scaled back reenactment, Live Leak.comoffered this version:

As the video notes, this is not the first time the provocative artist has used such methods to communicate his political message, but it is so far the most extreme. As the Guardian also reports:

Pavlensky has a history of self-harming art, including sewing his lips together to protest against the jail sentences given to members of Pussy Riot and wrapping himself in barbed wire outside a Russian government building, which he said symbolised "the existence of a person inside a repressive legal system".

The leading Russian theatre director Kirill Serebrennikov wrote on his Facebook page that the performance was a "powerful gesture of absolute despair".

Liverpool are not running out of steam, according to manager Jurgen Klopp.

The Reds have won only one of their last seven games and host Wolves in the FA Cup fourth round at the end of the most disappointing week of their season.

A 3-2 home defeat by struggling Swansea saw them slip 10 points behind Chelsea in the Premier League title race while they were beaten by Southampton in the semifinals of the EFL Cup.

Some observers have attributed Liverpool's struggles to a waning of their physical performance and the intensity that Klopp's teams are famous for.

The German, though, insisted the statistics do not bear that out.

He said: "They are still as high in all parts as they were before, especially in distance. The games are different so sometimes thereIn the last week of June, two different circles of blogs invested in the Quiverfull movement—both as critics and supporters of the pro-natalist, patriarchal, conservative Christian lifestyle—focused on the sad news of the death of one Quiverfull mother’s child shortly after birth. The woman was Carri Chmielewski, author of the now-private blog “Carri Me Away,” where she described her Quiverfull lifestyle, eschewing contraception, having as many children as God gave her, submitting to her husband’s leadership, and, in a related conviction common among Quiverfull adherents, her plans to deliver her children through unassisted childbirth—a home birth with no doctors, nurses, or midwives to help her and her husband through labor and aftercare.

For weeks, Chmielewski’s plans drew the scrutiny and concern of Quiverfull critics, such as the commenters on


the wryly-named ”Free Jinger” forum, a discussion board dedicated to “freeing” Jinger Duggar, one of the daughters of the Quiverfull Duggar family featured on reality TV show 18 Kids and Counting. Commenters there and elsewhere followed news of Chmielewski’s pregnancy, at first with light snark directed at this exemplar of Quiverfull conviction, and then growing concern as Chmielewski described mounting complications: she reportedly measured much larger than expected for a normal pregnancy and discussed her own doubts and misgivings about going through with the unassisted birth.

Because of these worries, Chmielewski sought the opinion of a certified professional midwife (a class of midwife distinct from certified nurse midwives, who have extensive medical training) from Central Indiana Home Birth Midwives. According to retired OB-GYN blogger Amy Tuteur, the midwife toldChmielewski that she was carrying twins, and maintained her diagnosis despite an ultrasound that only revealed one fetus, claiming that one twin was “hiding” behind the other. As Chmielewski was nearly three weeks past her due date, the midwife advised her to wait; when the baby was born, Chmielewski suffered amniotic fluid embolus (a rare condition that can occur in hospital births as well), causing the child, Benaiah, to die, and the mother to survive in critical condition.

At Salon’s Broadsheet blog and the Free Jinger forums, commenters weighed on whether the death constituted actionable child neglect, in the model of Christian Scientists—or the recent case involving the Nemenhah Band—refusing medical care for their children. Chmielewski’s husband, who critics charge has erased or hidden much of his wife’s past


on a particularly literal meaning when it comes to the body. This birthing refrain includes many of the core concepts found elsewhere in the movement, which stresses that God will take care of his flock if they put utter and complete faith in Him.

Garrison describes her own past attempts at unassisted childbirth:

I had envisioned a glorious testimony of God’s protection and provision—His reward for my complete trust and obedience in allowing Him to use my womb for His purposes. I imagined myself explaining after my successful home birth that it was because I had been faithful in seeking His will for my life that the Lord had carried me and my baby safely through.

The flip side of that trust and faith can lead women to ignore all doubtslarge readership in all three countries Campbell has lived: New Zealand, Australia, and now the United States. While Campbell has not been a particularly zealous proponent of unassisted childbirth, she has in the past helped promote an extreme version of the practice taught by Carol Balizet, head of the obscure, Tampa, Florida-based Home in Zion Ministries, that is condemned even by fellow unassisted childbirthers.

Balizet, a former nurse and the author of a number of books on Christian home-living, motherhood, and home birthing, represents a fringe expression of the Quiverfull suspicion of mainstream, institutional experts. She condemns banks, public schools, “statist” government, and denominational churches, but she saves her harshest judgment for institutional medicine: a bastion of pagan religion, where doctors serve as “high priests.” These priests, Balizet argues,


make pagan sacrifices through their surgical incisions, so that through Caesarean-section births, the newborn is delivered, as it were, to Caesar, and through him, Satan.

Balizet urges Christian mothers to deliver their babies at home, a movement she advocated through her book, Born in Zion, which gained access to a wide audience when Nancy Campbell’s Above Rubies ministry endorsed it. Balizet wrote:

Our goal is to encourage separation from the counterfeits of the world, and entrance into what is symbolically called Zion. This is a life TOTALLY dependent on God alone. We advocate home childbirth, home schooling, home healing, often even home churching, and other things which accompany a separation from the world and a return to the God-centered reality of the kingdom.

Balizet goes on to describe home births asStarbound is an upcoming game from Chucklefish. It is expected to be released sometime within the first half of 2013. There will most likely be a beta.

Chief Master Sgt. Jose Barraza, the command chief of the 12th Air Force, also known as Air Forces Southern, at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona, has been removed from his position.

AFSOUTH Commander Lt. Gen. Mark Kelly removed Barraza Nov. 23 due to a "loss of confidence in his ability to carry out his duties," AFSOUTH said in a Monday release.

Capt. Bryan Bouchard, a spokesman for AFSOUTH, said Barraza's removal stemmed from an ongoing investigation, but could not comment on the subject of that investigation. Bouchard did not know when the investigation would be finished.

"The general felt it was in the best interests of good order and discipline to remove [Barraza] to ensure the needs of the organization would be met," Bouchard said.

The release said that Barraza will be transferred to a different position at Davis-Monthan until the investigation is finished. As command chief, Barraza served as the top enlisted adviser to AFSOUTH leadership.

Barraza, who joined the Air Force in 1989, has been the command chief at AFSOUTH since June 2015. He was previously the command chief of the 3rd Wing at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska.

Eight jailed environmentalists have faced torture, harsh interrogations and been pressured to confess to spying, IranWire has learned.

“Last year during interrogations, in order to pressure Sepideh Kashani and force her to confess, the interrogators told her that her husband, Hooman Jokar, had been murdered in prison,” a source close to one of the environmentalists told IranWire. “When she ignored them, they showed her Hooman’s bloody shirt. In response, Sepideh went on hunger strike and told them she wouldn’t stop until they let her see him, or show her his body. During the strike, she lost 30 kg. After she was assured that his murder was a lie and they let them meet, she broke her strike. The media did not cover the hunger strike.”

The source told IranWire that


Bayani, one of the suspects in the case, had been charged with “spreading corruption on Earth” and that, two days on from the announcement security agents took her, blindfolded but wearing her own clothes and not a prison uniform, to have her hair cut and make-up done. Later, she was taken to a shopping mall and to a villa in Lavasanat to relax. However, Bayani knew she was being watched and said that she realized she had been being filmed when she was in the bathroom But she refused to play by the game and when she was in the bathroom, she noticed that someone was filming her secretly.

According to IranWire's source, there is very little information available about one of the other detainees, Abdolreza Kouhpayeh. “His familydead.”

The Revolutionary Guards Corps agents are reportedly pressuring Tahbaz to surrender his families’ properties. “His father used to have a lot of land in Iran in various nice neighborhoods, many of which were confiscated after the revolution. His family was able to exchange some of this land in 2016 for new properties. Since then, Morad had been following up on promises to get some of their land back.”

The land the family owned was close to Touran National Park, according to a Tasnim News Agency article by Shadi Modarres, citing intelligence agent reports. The article claimed that Morad hoped to reclaim part of the park for his family. Not long after it published the news, Tasnim removed the story from its website.“This was a completely false accusation,” IranWire’s source

On Thursday, the Union Cabinet approved the developing of a visa-free corridor from Dera Baba Nanak village in Punjab’s Gurdaspur district to the Indian side of the international border and urged Pakistan to reciprocate.

Govt of India will develop a Kartarpur Corridor from Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur, Punjab to the international border to facilitate pilgrims from India to visit the holy Gurudwara Darbaar Sahib Kartarpur on the banks of Rabi river in Pakistan where Guru Nanak Devji spend 18 years — Arun Jaitley (@arunjaitley) November 22, 2018

India also requested Pakistan to make available all necessary facilities for Sikh pilgrims all through the year.

The Kartarpur corridor will provide smooth and easy passage to pilgrims to visit Gurdwara Darbar Sahib throughout the year. Government of Pakistan will be urgedto reciprocate and develop a corridor with suitable facilities in their territory. — राजनाथ सिंह (@rajnathsingh) November 22, 2018

A statement released on Thursday by the Ministry of External Affairs stated that “in keeping with the resolution adopted by the Cabinet today to commemorate the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev ji in 2019, we have approached and urged the Pakistan government to recognize the sentiments of Sikh community and build a corridor with suitable facilities in their territory to facilitate easy and smooth visits of pilgrims from India to Kartarpur Sahib throughout the year. Government of India has already decided to build the corridor from Dera Baba Nanak to the International Border with all modern amenities on our side.”

Within hours of India’s announcement, the Imran Khan government


responded that it will open the corridor — allowing Indian pilgrims to visit the shrine that lies on the banks of river Ravi and went to Pakistan after the Partition. Shah Mahmood Qureshi, the Pakistani foreign minister, reportedly claimed that Islamabad’s decision has been conveyed to India, and that Khan would perform the ground-breaking ceremony on 28 November. The call for a visa-free Kartarpur Sahib corridor is an old, strong, persistent demand from the Sikh community. The move was mooted first during Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s bus ride to Lahore in 1999. India claims that the two-decade old request has since been lying pending with Pakistan.

The Kartarpur corridor is a sensitive issue among the Sikh community. It is easy to see why the political class sees it as aODSTs that dare to challenge him.

Regarding the potential for signing an infielder, have their been any reports of the Indians going after Belliard? As far as I know he hasn’t been signed and he seems perfect for the role. His career OPS against LHP is .829 and was .841 last year (and overall he hit over .350 in August and Sept), he already has a history with the Indians and Acta, he played games at 1b, 2b and 3b last year and he only madeSP spot (assuming Westbrook, Carmona, Masterson and Laffey) I would prefer the latter if only b/c I feel after all this time that I have seen what Sowers would contribute to a starting rotation spot.

NEW DELHI: Soon, the last-mile connectivity in remote villages of the country's backward pockets may be provided by transport services run by women's Self Help Groups .

The Centre is working on a scheme to provide interest-free loan to women's SHGs to enable them to buy vehicles and hire drivers. These vehicles will serve as public transport to villages not connected to the main town by any such service. Besides a mode of commute, the idea behind the scheme is to ensure that farmers are able to carry their farm produce to markets for sale, source of their daily living. The plan flows from a study done by the rural development ministry in Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh.

Slated to be launched on the Independence Day, the scheme, to be part6.5-8.5 lakh. "It was not found viable with the going rate of 12% interest on loans. So, the idea of giving interest free loan," the official said.

For SHGs, it would mean a step forward. Women's groups form the core of the flagship self-employment programme of the rural development ministry - NRLM. With a timeline of 10 years, it seeks to cover seven crore rural poor households across 6,000 blocks through SHGs, with the objective that at least one woman from each identified household becomes a member.

Sources said the scheme, which is still to be named, will be launched in 250 backward blocks across states like Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Bihar, UP and Odisha among others.


he was discharged and is therefore protected by the terms of the handicap statute; and 3) the record demonstrates an absence of facts which would support AT & T's defense that it reasonably accommodated him.
Miller argues that AT & T did not accommodate him because AT & T could have assigned him to work in geographical areas with moderate climates or could have provided reasonable transportation to his work site and a cool work place in the State of Arizona; and that all of AT & T's affirmative defenses are legally insufficient.

UNDISPUTED FACTS
Miller was employed as an installer by AT & T from January 1, 1984 to July 2, 1985. Miller had been employed by AT & T's predecessor, Western Electric Company, from October 24, 1965 to Januaryfrom their base locations to other locations within their state or to geographical regions other than their base locations or to anywhere in the United States.
In 1984, as part of the divestiture of the Bell System, AT & T retained what was formerly known as Western Electric. After the divestiture, local operating companies increased their reliance on the equipment and installation services of vendors other than AT & T. Local operating companies also began to perform some of their own work with their own installers. As a result of these changes, the number of *637 installers employed by AT & T in the State of Oregon decreased in number, and those installers who remained in the State of Oregon were more frequently subject to temporary transfers.
In 1982, Miller

In January, 1985, AT & T notified Miller that he would be temporarily transferred to Omaha, Nebraska. On January 8, 1985, Miller provided AT & T with the following note from his doctor:
To Whom it May Concern:
Re: Daryl Miller
This 39 year old gentleman has asthma based on Pollenosis. He is currently stable on his medications and desensitized program with Dr. Charles Wagner.
I believe he will suffer adversely if he is transferred to a dry, cold climate, particularly if he is working indoors and outdoors alternately.
I hope this helps you to help this patient.
              Sincerely,

Miller reported to Mesa, Arizona at the end of May, 1985. He was housed in an air conditioned hotel. He worked without incident for approximately two weeks. On June 10, 1985, Miller became light-headed while working indoors where the air conditioning vents had, for some reason, been closed. Miller's supervisor opened the air conditioning vents, and Miller went to a doctor.
Miller returned to work on June 11, 1985. Miller worked without incident on June 11, 12, 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21, 1985. On June 21, 1985, Miller advised AT & T that he was returning to Salem, Oregon because he could no longer "gamble" with his *638 health. On June 22, 1985, Miller returned to Salem, Oregon.
On June 24,


1985, Miller was advised by his union representative that he should go back to Mesa, Arizona. On June 25, 1985, Miller was advised by his union vice president that he had to go back to Mesa, Arizona before the union could work with him. On July 1, 1985, Miller was advised by his union president that AT & T would treat him as having resigned unless he went back to Mesa, Arizona. On July 2, 1985, Miller received a telegram from AT & T indicating that the company considered his resignation effective July 1, 1985.
On July 11, 1985, Miller was advised by his union representative that it was the union's position that there was no contract violation by AT & T arising from either Miller's temporary assignment toEnglish philosopher and monarchist Thomas Hobbes, who lived between 1588 and 1679, had wide-ranging interests.

Karlsruhe took part in evacuation efforts on the coast of Flanders on 14 August in the aftermath of the Battle of Amiens. She loaded seventy mines, with the intention of laying a minefield in company with the cruisers  and , but the operation was cancelled when it became clear that Nürnberg had to be drydocked for repairs. Karlsruhe took part in training operations in the Baltic from 16 to 23 October, after which she resumed guard duties in the German Bight. Later that month, Karlsruhe and the rest of theThree people have been killed, including a young child, and 15 others injured when a car slammed into pedestrians in the centre of Australia's second-largest city Melbourne.

A man deliberately drove his vehicle into people on Friday at the Bourke Street Mall, but the incident was not "terrorism-related", Victoria state police's acting commander Stuart Bateson told reporters.

"I can confirm that we believe this is connected to an earlier stabbing in the southern metro region. We have the offender in custody. There is no further threat to the public at this stage," said Bateson.

Police earlier chased the driver who was wanted over a domestic assault and driving offences.

Officers eventually rammed the car and shot the 26-year-old driver in the arm, before dragging him from the vehicle and arresting him. Police


said the man had a history of family violence and was wanted for a stabbing earlier in the day.

A shop video showed several people diving into a convenience store as the car raced along the footpath.

"We witnessed about half-a-dozen people that ricocheted off the car one way or another. I saw one person fly up almost roof level of the car as they got thrown up against one of the retail stores," Sharn Baylis, 46, told Reuters news agency.

"You could hear the gasping and the screaming from people, then you just started hearing the screams and the crying as it sunk in," she said.

Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne said five patients were brought in after the incident. Of them, a three-month-old is in critical condition and a two-year-oldis in serious condition.

Baylis said she rushed across tram tracks with other bystanders and gave cardiopulmonary resuscitation to a badly hurt man who had been run over.

Television footage from the scene showed a damaged red car with the front doors open and the windscreen smashed.

"He wasn't stopping and people walking were trying to get away and he just kept going and collected people on his way," one unnamed witness told Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper.

Emergency services treated the incident as a "mass casualty event" and hospitals were put on "Code Red" to accept the injured.

Heavily armed officers were deployed on the streets in the heart of the city, which is hosting the Australian Open tennis tournament.

"Emergency services are assisting multiple patients," Victoria state police said.


Whats a saint? sides being a pious example of faith ect... In heaven does a saint any diffrent than a Joe Belivier? Is a Saint set aside? ANything elese?

Thanks

There are saints in heaven and saints still on Earth. Those in heaven are sometimes referred to as the Church Triumphant, and those still on Earth, as the Church Militant. Those in Purgatory are the Church Suffering. But all who are part of the Body of Christ are saints.

I would have to disagree with a Saint being anyone in Heaven. The Pious example and the Scriptures show that saints are people who have Faith in Christ and do His Will. However, the word saint is with a small "s" because it is a universal reference. A true Saint with aNow, the Baltic states consist of three countries – Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, which received sovereignty in the course of the disintegration of the Soviet Union. Each of these states position themselves, respectively, as the national states of Latvians, Lithuanians, and Estonians. Nationalism in the Baltic countries was raised to the level of a state policy, which explains the numerous examples of the discrimination of the Russian and Russian-speaking population. Meanwhile, if to figure this out, it becomes clear that the Baltic countries are typical “replica states” with the absence of their own political history and tradition. Of course not, the states in the Baltic region existed before, but it’s not at all Latvians or Estonians that created them.

What did the Baltic region represent before its lands were


included in the structure of the Russian Empire? Before the 13th century, when the German knights/crusaders started conquering the Baltic region, it was a complete and utter “zone of tribes”. Here lived the Baltic and Finno-Ugric tribes, which didn’t have their own statehood and professed paganism. Thus, modern Latvians as a people appeared as a result of a merger of the Baltic region (Latgalians, Semigallians, Selonians, Curonians) and Finno-Ugric (Livonians) tribes. At the same time it should be taken into account that Baltic tribes themselves weren’t the indigenous people of the Baltic region – they migrated from the South and pushed aside the local Finno-Ugric population to the north of modern Latvia. It is especially the absence of their own statehood that became one of the main reasonsfor the conquest of the Baltic and the Finno-Ugric people of the Baltic region by more powerful neighbors.

Since the 13th-14th centuries the peoples of the Baltic region found themselves between two fires – from the Southwest they were squeezed and subordinated by the German Order of Knighthood, and from the Northeast – the Russian principalities. It’s not at all the ancestors of modern Lithuanians, but the Litvin – “western Russians”, Slavs, the ancestors of modern Belarusians – who were the “kernel” of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The adoption of the Catholic religion and the developed cultural ties with the neighbouring Poland provided differences between Litvin and the population of Rus. The situation of the Baltic tribes was far from being joyful both in the German Knighthood states


and in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. They were subjected to religious, linguistic, and social discrimination.

The situation was even worse for the Finno-Ugric tribes, which subsequently became the basis for the formation of the Estonian nation. In Estland, like in the neighbouring Livonia and Courland, all main levers of governance and economy were in the hands of the East Sea [Ostsee – ed] Germans. Before the middle of the 19th century in the Russian Empire such a name as “Estonians” wasn’t even used – all natives of Finland, the Vyborg Governorate, and some other Baltic territories were united under the name “chukhna”. Moreover, there were no distinctions between Estonians, Izhorians, Vepsians, and Finns. The standard of living of “chukhna” was even lower than that of Latvians and Lithuanians.A considerable part of villagers moved towards St. Petersburg, Riga, and other large cities in search of earnings. A large number of Estonians even moved towards other regions of the Russian Empire – thus Estonian settlements appeared in the North Caucasus, Crimea, Siberia, and the Far East. They left for the “world’s end” not at all because they had a good life. It is interesting that in the cities of the Baltic region there were almost no Estonians and Latvians – it is they themselves who called themselves “villagers”, opposing themselves to city dwellers – Germans.

The main part of the population of Baltic cities up to the 19th century consisted of ethnic Germans, and also Poles and Jews, but not at all Baltic people. In fact, the “old”


(pre-revolutionary) Baltic region was completely built by Germans. Baltic cities were German cities – with German architecture, culture, and system of municipal management. In knighthood states, in the Duchy of Courland, and in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth the Baltic people would never become equal with title Germans, Poles or Litvins. For the German nobility dominating in the Baltic region, Latvians and Estonians were people of the second grade, almost “barbarians”, there couldn’t even be talk of equal rights. The nobility and merchants of the Duchy of Courland completely consisted of East Sea Germans. The German minority for centuries dominated Latvian peasants making up the main part of the population of the duchy. Latvian peasants were enslaved and in terms of their social status they were equated to ancient Romanslaves by the Courland statute.

Freedom came to Latvian peasants almost half a century earlier than to Russian serfs – the decree on the cancellation of serfdom in Courland was signed by the emperor Alexander I in 1817. On August 30th in Mitava the release of peasants was solemnly declared. Two years later, in 1819, Livonia’s peasants were also released. Thus Latvians received long-awaited freedom, with which the gradual formation of a class of free Latvian farmers started. If it wasn’t for the will of the Russian emperor, who knows how many more decades Latvians would’ve remained in the condition of being the serfs of German sirs. The incredible mercy shown by Alexander I in relation to the peasants of Courland and Livonia had an enormous impact on the


further economic development of these lands. By the way, it’s not a coincidence that Latgale turned into the most economically backward part of Latvia – liberation from serfdom came to Latgale peasants much later, and this circumstance affected the development of agriculture, trade, and crafts in the region.

The liberation of the serfs of Livonia and Courland allowed them to rather quickly turn into successful farmers who lived much better off than the peasants of Northern and Central Russia. An impulse was given to the further economic development of Latvia. But even after the liberation of peasants, the main resources of Livonia and Courland remained in the hands of East Sea Germans, who organically fitted into Russian aristocracy and merchants. A large number of prominent military and politicians ofthe Russian Empire – generals and admirals, diplomats and ministers – emerged from the environment of the East Sea nobility. On the other hand, the situation of Latvians or Estonians remained denigrated – and not at all because of Russians, who are now accused of occupying the Baltic region, but because of the East Sea nobility that exploited the population of the region.

Now in all the countries of the Baltic region people like to argue about the “horrors of Soviet occupation”, but they prefer to keep quiet about the fact that it is precisely Latvians, Lithuanians, and Estonians who supported the revolution that gave them their long-awaited liberation from the domination of East Sea Germans. If German aristocracy of the Baltic region in its majority supported the white


movement, then whole divisions of Latvian Riflemen were at war on the side of the red movement. Ethnic Latvians, Lithuanians, and Estonians played a very large role in the establishment of Soviet power in Russia, and their percent in the Red Army and the state security bodies was the highest.

When modern Baltic politicians argue about “Soviet occupation”, they forget that tens of thousands of “Latvian Riflemen” fought all across Russia for the establishment of this same Soviet power, and then continued to serve in the bodies of the All-Russian Extraordinary Commission, Joint State Political Directorate, NKVD, and the Red Army, and not in the lowest posts either. As we see, nobody oppressed Latvians or Estonians on ethnic grounds in Soviet Russia. Moreover, in the first post-revolutionary years Latvianand Latvian Catholic and Protestant churches and schools existed separately. I.e., two people with apparently close cultural values tried to maximally distance from each other. For Latvians, Germans were occupiers and the descendants of exploiters/feudal lords, and for Germans the Latvians were almost “forest barbarians”. Especially because as a result of the agrarian reform, East Sea landowners were deprived of their lands, which were transferred to Latvian farmers.

Among the East Sea Germans pro-monarchic moods dominated at first – they hoped for the restoration of the Russian Empire and the return of Latvia into its structure, and then, in the 1930’s, German Nazism started to spread very quickly – it is enough to remember that Alfred Rosenberg, one of Hitler’s key ideologists, was from the Baltic region. The East


itself as a part of the Third Reich.

Adolf Hitler treated the population of “Ostland” very disdainfully and for a long time hindered the implementation of the plans of a number of German military leaders for the formation of Latvian, Estonian, and Lithuanian units as a part of the troops of the SS. On the territory of the Baltic region the German administration was recommended to forbid any slight movement of the local population towards autonomy and self-determination, and the creation of higher educational institutions with studying in the Lithuanian, Latvian or Estonian languages was strictly forbidden. At the same time, it was allowed to create for the local population vocational and technical schools, which testifies to only one thing – in the German-occupied Baltic region only the fatepart of partisan units are being suppressed and refuted. Modern Baltic politicians also forget about how huge the contribution of Russia and then the Soviet Union was in the development of culture, written language, and sciences in the Baltic republics. In the USSR a large amount of books were translated into the Latvian, Lithuanian, and Estonian languages, and writers from the Baltic republics had the opportunity to publish their works, which were then also translated into other languages of the Soviet Union and were printed in huge numbers.

It is precisely during the Soviet period that a powerful and developed education system was created in the Baltic republics – both secondary and higher, and all Latvians, Lithuanians, and Estonians received an education in their native language and used their


scripture, without experiencing any discrimination during subsequent employment. It goes without saying that in the Soviet Union the natives of the republics of the Baltic region had the opportunity to develop their careers not only inside the borders of their native regions, but also inside the borders of the huge country in general – they became high-ranking party figures, military leaders and naval commanders, they formed a career in science, culture, sport, etc. All of this became possible thanks to the huge contribution of the Russian people to the development of the Baltic region. Sane Estonians, Latvians, and Lithuanians never forget what the Russians did for the Baltic region. It’s not a coincidence that one of the main tasks of the modern Baltic regimes became the eradication ofGrand Duchy of Finland were least interested in Finnish independence when focusing more making money in Sankt Petersburg. And i can’t blame them as pure opportunists. After all independence is some bred you eat. At best its tool to better future. Sometimes it’s step to hell.

Excellent article. History is a complex subject. Up till the mid 19th century you had two schools of history, the Germanic School of History, centered in Vienna, and the Slavic School of History, centered in Moscow. After the mid 19th century the Germanic School took the lead in the interpretation of history, which has always been used for political purposes.

For example, Prussians are all assimilated Germans, former Slavs. The German capital of Berlin is built on Slavic lands, and the actual name is


financed by several other countries. It was an engine for the baltic countries.

Some German names can be seen in Tallin to this day.

The estonians sang themselves to freedom when the USSR fell. Some sang for three days and nights. It was almost magic.

I have heard people from the Baltic countries were rather popular in St. Petersburg?

History is interesting, but we must look at it from all sides. Sweden did some goods things and did not need to conquer the country. At least not in the 16th century. And swedes are not germans.

“some German names…” Yep, in the market square of the capital Tallinn, the old city hall has its name carved in stone: “Rathaus.” German for city hall.

Even though modern Estonian is close to Finnish, way back whenBaltic Crusades were no catwalk for the Teutonic Knights. They met fierce resistance (1198-1290), and the Livonian people were decimated before the E Baltics could be subjugated. Farther south the kingdom of Lithuania was established in 1253, and became Europe’s largest state in the 1300s. In 1569 Lithuania and Poland formed a voluntary two-state union, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth which lasted over200 years. Sweden was the greatest power in the Baltic Sea region during the 1600s, and its largest metropolis was Riga (Latvia), not Stockholm. In 1632 Sweden established in Estonia the University of Tartu (Dorpat). Today it is highly ranked internationally and top-ranked in the E Baltics. After the Great Northern War, Russia closed Tartu University between 1710-1802.
People in the numerically small E Baltics have often suffered at


the hands of warring and powerful neighbors. WW II itself carried a heavy toll, but was exacerbated by Soviet deportations in 1941 and 1949 of ca 3% of their populations (220 000 natives, the largest contingent being Lithuanians). People in the newly occupied E Baltics enjoyed the highest educational levels and standard of living in the Soviet Union. When new factories and housing were established, it was easy to attract workers from elsewhere. Up till 1970 over 800 000 Russian speakers migrated to the E Baltics. That changed their demography and indirectly promoted Russification. This in turn increased the natives’ wish for independence. Between 1987-91 hundreds of thousands of Estonians, Latvians and Lithuanians courageously united to participate in the “Singing Revolution” which resulted in their nationally independent states.the kingdom of Lithuania was established in 1253, and became Europe’s largest state in the 1300s. In 1569 Lithuania and Poland formed a voluntary two-state union, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth which lasted over200 years.

is to be hoped that geopolitics and cooperation will stabilize soon in Europe, and that the Eastern Baltic states’ relations with neighboring states may also normalize for mutual benefit.

You are skipping quite a few developments between 1569 and 1919 such as :
– Riga as a port city was built to export Russian grain and other commodities; as such its wealth and status was derived from trade with Russia, and it was contested by all the neighbors: Sweden, Poland, Lithuania, and Russia;
– Lithuania and later PLC had at its core several Western Russian principalities that were the majority of the population of Lithuania and a close to a half of population of PLC; in fact, the official language used in legal documents and court proceedings was neither Lithuvanian norPolish; it was Church Slavonic!
– since the area became part of the Russian Empire (1721), Russian governours were running Estland, Courland , and parts of Lithuvania – with Russian berocracy, police, gendarms, courts all conducting their business in Russian; “native” German landowners all hired Russian nannies so that their offspring had a chance climbing social/military/scientific ladders in the bright new big empire they became part of. And clibmingh they did – von Struves, von Benkendorfs, Essens, Faberge, Nobels, Jacobys, Ingestroems and many many more. Just one more name – Otto von Bismarck.
– Fast forward to 1914 – the Baltic provinces are part of the Russian Empire for almost 200 years and Riga is its 3rd largest city (the word coincidentally means grain store in Russian) – surely, some

Ogilvy won the account without a review, just a week after resigning Shell Oil Co.'s U.S. retail gas account after nearly 30 years. Ogilvy also had bits and pieces of Shell around the world. But in 1998, Shell consolidated its international account with J. Walter Thompson Co., London. In December, JWT's Houston office won the estimated $40 million service-station account for two Shell-Texaco U.S. joint ventures.Senate Republicans turn anger on campaign committee

Washington  Narrowly defeated in his bid for a fourth term, Montana Sen. Conrad Burns turned his anger on the National Republican Senatorial Committee and commercials it had run months before the election.

"The ads hurt me more than they helped. I wouldn't have spent the money," he said, his comments characteristic of the season of second-guessing now unfolding among Republicans.

President Bush's low approval ratings, the unpopular war on Iraq, voter concern about corruption and Democratic fundraising all figured in the GOP loss of Senate control in last month's elections. But among Republicans, long-hidden tensions are spilling into view, with numerous critics venting their anger at the GOP Senate campaign committee headed by North Carolina Sen. Elizabeth Dole.

In recent interviews, officials said Senate


Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., as well as Ken Mehlman, the party chairman, set up outside checks on the committee at critical points in the campaign.

As early as last summer, Mehlman signaled he lacked full confidence in Dole's committee. In an unprecedented move, he set up an independent entity to control more than $12 million that the Republican National Committee spent for television advertising in Ohio, Tennessee and Missouri.The majority of drugs in clinical use today are given either by injection or oral administration. Injections generally provide a fast, direct route to the bloodstream, whereas oral administration subjects the pharmaceutical agent to hepatic metabolism. Hepatic metabolism degrades the effectiveness of the pharmaceutical agents sometimes as much as 90% in some cases. The liver detoxifies drug molecules to a significant extent. As a result, a significant quantity may never reach the rest of the body due to the liver's detoxifying of the drug agent. Despite this drawback, oral administration still is the most preferred way of giving pharmaceutical drugs due to the ease of administration and the avoidance for the invasive techniques, such as injections.
Another, less common method of administration is by the use of ultrasonic vibration.


The owner of two Massachusetts pubs says he's temporarily changing their names to eliminate the word "Raven" and replace it with "Patriot."

Mark McAuliffe owns The Raven's Nest in Walpole and The Mad Raven in Waltham, but says he's been told by his regulars they won't go near them in advance of Sunday's AFC championship game between the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens.

So on Monday, he put up new signs, changing the names to The Patriot's Nest and The Mad Patriot.

He did the same when the teams played in the AFC title game last year, and tells WBZ-TV it boosted business at the Walpole pub, just five miles from Gillette Stadium.

He'll keep the temporary names as long as the Patriots are in the playoffs.in addition to the children, were Ralph Major and a family friend Alfred Oberle, Jr. The uncle was expected to stay and care for the children, but shortly thereafter he left the house carrying two sacks and Oberle stayed to look after the children. About midnight, or soon thereafter, defendant returned, looked around, and stated that her uncle had stolen her son's radio. She further said she was going to South Omaha to get the radio and again left the house.
Defendant and her husband stated they made rent collections in the area where they resided for their landlord and on such occasions defendant's husband carried a.22-caliber pistol. According to defendant, the pistol was loaded alternately with solid bullets and birdshot. On this evening they took the gun because


they were making some collections. Later in the evening, Mr. Oliva gave it and the money collected to defendant who put both in her purse before returning home. She had the gun and the money when she went to South Omaha, not having left these items at her home while there.
She caught a ride to South Omaha with an acquaintance and succeeded in locating her uncle at Marlow's Cafe about 2 a. m. on January 11. She called him out and as they walked up the street, she demanded the radio. He denied taking it and then admitted he had sold or pawned it. She demanded to know who had it. He refused to tell her and an argument ensued. She then shot him; he fell and sheshot twice more; and she then walked away and caught a taxicab to her home. The first shot was heard and the last two witnessed by a man sitting in a parked car in front of the cafe. On the way home, she showed the gun to the taxicab driver and told him: "I just shot a guy over a hot radio," and "Here's the persuader I used to shoot the man with."
Police arrived at the scene almost immediately. Ralph Major was removed to the hospital but was dead on arrival. The autopsy report indicated death resulted from a gunshot wound in the chest. The bullet was recovered as was also some birdshot from other wounds. In Ralph Major's right shirt pocket, officers found a pocketknife with two


blades open.
The police officers located defendant's home through the taxicab driver, knocked *114 at the door, and were admitted by defendant. When asked if she knew Ralph Major, defendant said: "Yes, I shot him." She then got the pistol and showed it to the officers. It had one empty shell casing jammed in the cylinder but was otherwise fully loaded. She informed the officers that she had reloaded the gun and thrown the expended shells outside. She also demonstrated how she had shot Ralph Major and said: "I shot the son of a bitch. I hope he dies." This testimony was not objected to.
Defendant, on arriving home, told Alfred Oberle, Jr., when asked if she got the radio: "No, I shot him." She was arrested and the officersnot ask her any questions and the other said he could not recall asking her any questions while in the car. This is not contradicted by defendant.
At the police station, a "Rights Advisory Form" was filled out. Defendant was booked and informed of the death of her uncle at which time she stated: "I killed the s. o. b. on his birthday, what do you know about that!" This testimony was not objected to.
At the police station, Sergeant Dragoun again informed defendant of her rights, filled out a second "Rights Advisory Form," and asked if she wanted to make a statement at that time. She said she wanted to make a telephone call and then called her husband informing him that she had shot Ralph. On refusing to


make a statement, she said: "I will call an attorney," but she did not do so, was given a cup of coffee, and taken to a cell.
When defendant's husband arrived, defendant was again given the full Miranda warnings and asked if she wished to make a statement. After talking with her husband, who was present at all times during the questioning, she specifically waived the presence of an attorney and agreed to give a statement. She then told of the events preceding and following the shooting and of the shooting itself substantially as above set forth. She did not refer to any of the statements alleged to have been made in the presence of the police at her home, at the babysitters, in the patrol car, or atthe police station. Defendant stated she shot her uncle after he knocked her down and kicked her. On motion to suppress, the jury was excused and a hearing had at the conclusion of which the court found the statement was voluntary and overruled objections to it.
The defendant testified on the motion to suppress and before the jury. She denied ever receiving the Miranda warnings until after the statement was given. She admitted she never asked for a lawyer; that there was no force used; that her husband was present when she was questioned; and that she answered the questions pursuant to his advice. When asked if she answered voluntarily, she replied: "He asked the questions and I answered them." There is evidence to the effect that defendant had


recently been in a mental institution due to excessive drinking. She stated, however, that she knew what she was doing on the morning of January 11, 1967, understood the nature and consequences of her acts, and knew right from wrong.
In her testimony, defendant stated she was 29 years of age and reiterated the occurrences of the night of January 10 and the following morning. She maintained *115 that her uncle had struck and kicked her, had threatened her, and that he had taken the knife from his pocket. She conceded the statement given at the police station was correct except for the "Rights" matter, admitted she told Oberle and the babysitter she had shot her uncle, and that she reloaded the gun and showed it to the officers.and stated that Bober then took other pictures. Bober *117 stated he then took exhibit No. 14 with the same camera, but was not, at the time he took the picture, aware of whose body it was. It is a reasonable inference that they photographed the same body, but in any event, we find nothing of a prejudicial nature in regard to this picture.
Defendant's final objection is that the court sustained an objection when Gloria Jean Dreifurst was questioned regarding the reputation of Ralph Major for violence. She stated she had known Ralph Major for a couple of years, but did not indicate the nature or extent of her acquaintance with him. She was not asked and did not state that she knew his general reputation in the


Storm saga: anatomy of a 17-hour flight delay

Long lines of travellers wait to check in at Toronto's Pearson Airport on Saturday. (Ivy Cuervo/CBC)

A group of about 200 tired, weary and utterly frustrated travellers arrived in Costa Rica on Saturday morning — survivors of a 17-hour delay at Toronto's Pearson Airport during Friday's snowstorm.

But what led to the interminable delays for the Sunwing flight 794 — and what lessons are there for other travellers?

In an interview with Daryl McWilliams, the vice president of media relations with Sunwing Travel Group, CBC News was given a blow-by-blow account of a series of problems that kept the plane on the ground and the passengers in their seats from morning until night.

"It's a little technical," said McWilliams, "but bear with me and we'llget through it all."

Flight 794 was scheduled to leave Pearson Airport at 7 a.m. local time Friday morning. By that time, the crew had checked in, the plane had been loaded, and the plane pushed back from the gate pretty much on time.

According to McWilliams the aircraft then proceeded to the de-icing area.

On a normal day Pearson's de-icing machine handles about 30 aircraft per hour. But on Friday something went wrong with the machine.

The Sunwing aircraft got in the line "which was extensive." said McWilliams, and waited.

The wait was about an hour and a half or two hours. "And during that time the de-icing machine — part of it malfunctioned. It dropped from being able to handle 30 aircraft and hour to eight."

Gervonta Davis and the Showtime family made the most of an undesirable situation.

The first televised headliner for the unbeaten southpaw from Baltimore, Md. was supposed to be a much bigger event, as Davis was due to defend his 130-pound title versus former three-division champ Abner Mares.

Instead, he was forced to settle for a late replacement in Hugo Ruiz, whom he blasted out inside of a round last Saturday evening at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. The makeshift headliner drew an average of 429,000 viewers, with a peak audience of 486,000 coming in the nine-minute slot occupied by Davis’ quick hit.

Ruiz accepted the fight on just 11 days notice, his services enlisted shortly after Mares had to withdraw due to a detached retina which requiredsurgery. The popular Southern California attraction helped drive strong ticket sales and was a significant part of a planned national advertising campaign to promote the Showtime Championship Boxing event.

His involvement was ultimately reduced to a heartbreaking explanation during the latest edition of Fox Sports’ Inside PBC Boxing, sporting an eye patch while explaining how he suffered the injury and where it leaves his future.

Still, the show had to go on for Davis who hasn’t fought since a three-round wipeout of former featherweight titlist Jesus Cuellar last April to become a two-time 130-pount champ. That bout marked his lone piece of ring activity in a span of more than 17 months leading into the February 9 show, which of course lasted less than three minutes for the 24-year old


ran opposite live NBA coverage on NBC, UFC coverage on both ESPN and Pay-Per-View as well as the debut of the Alliance of American Football (AAF) league, which aired live on CBS.

The upstart football launch won the night in key demographics ratings, even outpacing NBA on ABC across the board. Additional interest was drawn to the league thanks to well-placed advertisements during Super Bowl coverage on CBS the preceding week.

Any such promotional push geared towards Showtime’s telecast was greatly impacted once Mares—a longtime dependable draw—suffered the career-threatening injury which forced him to pull out of the contest.

While Ruiz (39-5, 33KOs) was lauded for his bravery in accepting assignment on short notice, the former 122-pound titlist was never going to fill the marketing void left behind. The 32-year oldvictims to come forward.

"Sometimes all it takes is this little spark to get some people who, maybe it's been resting in their head for awhile, to say, 'That's the signal to go.'"

Other serious crimes, such as homicides, were up slightly — there were 24 homicide cases in 2017, while in 2016 police oversaw 23 investigations.

The number of arson cases took a jump: criminal fires in the city were up almost 12.9 per cent.

Thefts of motorized vehicles went up 9.2 per cent.

More fatal road accidents

The story on Montreal's roads also contains some bad news.

First, the number of cyclists killed doubled, from two deaths in 2016 to four in 2017.

For collisions involving only motorized vehicles, there were more fatalities last year — 26 of them — versus 2016 when there


New York (AFP) - Thousands of protesters paralyzed parts of New York and Washington on Saturday, stepping up demonstrations across the United States demanding justice for black men killed by white police.

The rallies in the US capital, New York, Boston and in several Californian cities were among the largest in a growing protest movement sparked by the killing of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri on August 9.

Grand jury decisions not to prosecute the white officers responsible for 18-year-old Brown's death and a fatal chokehold on New York father of six Eric Garner in July, have triggered weeks of protests.

Demonstrators shut down parts of Manhattan and Washington's Pennsylvania Avenue that leads to the Capitol with cries of "No justice, no peace!" "Justice Now!" and "The wholedamn system is guilty as hell!"

The mixed crowds of black and white, mobilized many young people but also young families, parents and the elderly. They held up banners proclaiming "Stop racist police" and "I can't breathe."

"I can't breathe" were the last words uttered repeatedly by Garner, as police wrestled him to the ground for allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes in New York's Staten Island.

Their deaths lit a touchpaper on simmering resentment against police tactics in the United States and distrust many black men feel toward law enforcement.

The Garner and Brown families were joined in Washington by relatives of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, who was shot dead last month by Cleveland police, and of Trayvon Martin, who was killed in Florida by a neighborhood watchman in 2012.

- History-making moment -

Garner's widow


and wife took to the stage before the energized crowd.

"I am here not only for marching for Eric Garner, but for everyone's daughters and sons and nieces and nephews and dads and moms," widow Esaw Garner said.

Garner's mother Gwen Carr said the protests would continue until lawmakers respond to demands for reform.

"This is a history-making moment," she said as onlookers erupted in cheers.

Story continues

"We will come here as many times as it takes," she told a cheering crowd as they edged toward the US Capitol building that houses Congress.

Civil rights activist Al Sharpton, president of the National Action Network and a prominent figure in the rallies, led the protest march in Washington.

Organizers called for lawmakers to "pass a national profiling act" and Sharpton called for sweeping justice reform.

"Youthought it would be kept quiet. You thought you'd sweep it under the rug. You thought there would be no limelight. But we're going to keep the light on Michael Brown, on Eric Garner, on Tamir Rice, on all of these victims," he thundered, as the families of those killed joined him on stage, some sobbing.

In New York, protesters shut down a four-mile (six-kilometer) route from Washington Square, down Fifth and Sixth Avenues and Broadway to converge outside police headquarters, filling the air with chants of "Justice now!"

- 'Shut New York City down' -

Christmas shoppers stood agog on the sidewalk, supporters hung out of apartment windows to shout words of encouragement and store workers took a break to take pictures on their cell phones.

"We will shut New York


City down," promised the organizers into loudspeakers as the crowd streamed out of Washington Square.

Members of the throng carried black cutouts of human figures bearing the words "RIP," along with the names of those killed by police, while others shouted "Justice now! The whole damn system is guilty as hell."

Bartender Cole Fox, 24, marched with his mother and held a banner reading "Grand Jury Reform Now."

"Fundamental changes need to be made. It's just a matter of days before the next person, black or white, is killed," he said.

Student Rosalind Watson, 21, decried "institutional racism."

"If one person sees this march and feels more supported and safe, it'll be a success," she told AFP at the spirited protest.

Police and organizers said thousands turned out in New York, but were notimmediately able to provide a clearer breakdown.

The atmosphere was largely defiant but peaceful, although police stood by in large numbers.

In Boston, Massachusetts State Police said several people were arrested and some roads blocked in Boston.

In Berkeley, California, an effigy of a black man hung by a noose was placed outside a university entrance with the words "I can't breathe" scrawled on its chest.


Clinical experience with and analytical confirmation of "bath salts" and "legal highs" (synthetic cathinones) in the United States.
Recently, there has been a worldwide rise in the popularity and abuse of synthetic cathinones. In 2009 and 2010, a significant rise in the abuse of a new group of synthetic cathinones was reported in Western Europe. In 2010, the rapid emergence of a new drug of abuse, referred to as bath salts or "legal high," occurred in the USA. The growing number of cases along with the alarming severity of the effects caused by the abuse of these substances prompted significant concern from both healthcare providers and legal authorities.

Jesus does have some strong words about adultery in Matthew 5:27-32, but I’m going to say that sex was not his main issue. What was? Money. Forget the kum-ba-ya Jesus you were taught in Sunday School. The real deal threw tantrums and flipped tables – Jesus had a clearly defined who-what-when-where-how platform on how to handle finances.

The shifting nature of women's experiences and perceptions of ductal carcinoma in situ.
This paper is a report of a descriptive qualitative study of the evolution of women's perceptions and experiences of ductal carcinoma in situ from the period near to diagnosis to 1 year later. Ductal carcinoma in situ is a non-invasive breast condition where cancer cells are detected but confined to the ducts of the breast. With treatment, the condition has a positive prognosis but ironically patients undergo treatment similar to that for invasive breast cancer. There is a lack of longitudinal qualitative research studying women's experiences of ductal carcinoma in situ, especially among newly diagnosed patients, and how experiences change over time. Forty-five women took part in an initial interview following a diagnosis of ductal carcinomathe increasing recognition of harms caused by legal agreements that protect perpetrators and serial harassers by forcing whistleblowers and victims of abuse to stay silent. Susan Fowler, a former Uber engineer whose viral story of sexual harassment sparked a reckoning in the tech industry, has been outspoken about arbitration, recently detailing her campaign to push for reforms in an interview with the Guardian.

The new rules also mark a conciliatory step made by the Uber chief executive, Dara Khosrowshahi. He was hired last August amid a wave of revelations and allegations about rampant sexual harassment in its workforce, a cover-up of a massive data breach, dirty tricks and stolen trade secrets.

Khosrowshahi has launched a campaign to “do the right thing” to repair the damage left by Uber’s previous regime

The march took less than half the scheduled time due to excitement, but also due to wariness about walking through the city with gay banners and signs.In an age where conformation culture is threatening individuality in the music industry, The Asteroids Galaxy Tour are a unique feat – a group who haves repeatedly rebelled against the norm. Since the band’s inception, not only have they released three studio albums but their songs have been featured in iPod and Heineken commercials, and hit USA TV shows including Gossip Girl, CSI Miami and Suits. Their current album, Bring us Together, was released to critical acclaim in September 2014.

The band’s lead singer Mette Lindberg formed the band with fellow Danish musician Lars Iverson in 2007. They met through mutual friends, who introduced Mette to Lars, the latter of whom was looking for a singer for his band. “We kind of looked at each other and said OK
