and his paintings of Hanoi's Old Quarters to understand why there were so many fake paintings of his in the market. She argues that the demands for Phai's paintings were created mostly by the symbolization from the West about Vietnam – an "authentic" Asian country – and thus, Phai's paintings and its nostalgic Old Quarter images came close to the ideals and fulfilled such demands regardless of whether they were authentic or fake. Alternatively, Bosch (2004, 2009) looks at the forgery and fake from the systematic and legal problems of Vietnamese art. She argues that the Vietnam artists, while inheriting a great traditional culture and possessing a strong aesthetic value, still lack professional skills, practices and art specialists like curators or consultants to create a fully formed artworld. More importantly, Vietnamese artists were not protected by legal documentation and practices, which resulted in the violation of intellectual property law or the reliance on foreign dealers to can make ends meet. Finally, Tran Khanh Chuong (cited in Nghia, 2012) suggests the beginning of the Vietnamese art market after Đổi Mới had significant effects on the artists; the opening introduces both opportunities and problems to the Vietnamese art. Most of the literature on the Vietnamese art has been produced by non-Vietnamese academics, and they show great insights and analysis. However, they mainly focus on sociological themes such as history or national identity. Even though the Vietnamese art market has become more dynamic along with the growth of the economy, the research is not updated and lack significant


acquaintance of the painter Pham An Hai. The collector sent the paintings to a frame-maker, and the frame-maker found out they were fake. He contacted Pham An Hai immediately. Out of the five paintings, a painting named Du am pho co (The repercussion of the Old Quarter) was still at Pham An Hai's house. Nguyen Ro Hung drew two other arts, but his signature was removed and replaced by Pham An Hai. There is no information on the last two paintings. Pham An Hai later called the collector to tell him the truth, and he also published the story on Facebook so that it could help others avoid the fake. Figure 4: Fake Pham An Hai's Du am pho co (Viet, 2017) Figure 5: Authentic Pham An Hai'sDu am pho co (Viet, 2017) 10 Trừu Tượng (Abstract) by Thành Chương and 17 paintings of Vũ Xuân Chung (8, 9, 10) A painting named Trừu Tượng (Abstract) with a signature of Ta Ty exhibited in the exhibition "Paintings Returned From Europe," organized by Fine Arts Museum in Ho Chi Minh City and the paintings were from a collection of Vu Xuan Chung. The painting was introduced to be drawn by Ta Ty in 1952 but Thanh Chuong – a well-known modern painter, when he came to the exhibition, recognized the painting as his own, which was drawn in the 1970s. After the accusation from Thanh Chuong, Jean-François Hubert – a famous Vietnamese art expert – sent a doctoring image to the media to claim the authenticity


of the painting. Nonetheless, it was later confirmed that Thanh Chuong drew the painting through a draft of the art that he showed to the public. Both Chung and Jean-François Hubert had no comment about it. Trừu Tượng is one of 17 paintings that Vu Xuan Chung bought from Jean-François Hubert. The Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts firstly concluded that the signed authors did not paint 15 paintings and two paintings have forgery signatures of painters Ta Ty and Sy Ngoc. Thus, they temporarily hold the arts to examine and required action from the authority. However, on 22 July 2016, the Museum returned the painting to Vu Xuan Chung (Quan, 2016; Bay, 2016c); and in 2017, according to New York Times, Chung was able toCao Dam, gouache and ink on silk, 59x80 cm, on 12 May 2016. The estimated price of the painting is around US$18,000 to US$25,000. Art expert Ngo Kim Khoi determined this posted painting is fake. The real painting has the size 78x114cm, which exhibited at Cernuschi Museum from 20 September 2012 to 27 January 2013. 13 Figure 10: Thieu nu uong tra – Vu Cao Dam (fake); auctioned at Auction.fr, May 2016 (Bay, 2016b) Figure 11: Thieu nu uong tra – Vu Cao Dam (real). Exhibited at Cernuschi museum, September 2012 – January – 2013 (Bay, 2016b). The website Xuongtranh.vn (21) In early 2018, website xuongtranh.vn posted and publicly sold many fake and copy paintings. After that, many painters complained about the outrage situation on Facebook: the original


Da case, the news briefly reported the information as because the painting was claimed to be fake, so the auction house had to take action. While in the Thieu nu uong tra by Vu Cao Dam, the real version was shown and presented as evidence, so the auction house was unable to do otherwise. Moreover, the incident of Song Da happened in 1997, when the customs of the Vietnamese art were still new to the international market and auction houses. In the later auctions, occurred from 2008 onwards, only a few Vietnamese artists and art expert showed confusion with the paintings based on their knowledge and familiarity with the painters' style. Thus, the auctioned paintings from 2008 have no hard evidence like Thieu nu uong tra. Therefore, theMunch's The Scream in 1994 or the stolen 500 million-dollar worth of artworks from Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston. Hence, considering the current status, it would take some more years to put the Vietnamese art on the targeted list. Secondly and strangely, the plagiarism issue is also prevention from the art heist. In the case of Pham An Hai (2, 3, 4), he suspected when he posted his new paintings on Facebook; someone copied and sold them. It is debatable that in the Vietnamese market, a copied painting would generate equal, or sometimes better profits than a stolen original painting. Finally, Vietnamese art buyers often have a close relationship with Vietnamese artists, and they create a closed ecosystem of Vietnamese arts that relatively foreign to the outsider,


the owners could get. Most of the documents and decisions from the authority are only reactions to the events; there is no regulation. The rise of Vietnamese galleries or auction houses 18 like Chon or Ly Thi seems like a positive sign, but according to the Art Expert B, the daughter of painter Nguyen Van Ty came to Chon's auction and confirmed the auctioned paintings were not her father's works (32). Chon is also the agency for the auction of Pho cu (13) and Co gai tho (28). In the case of Van Tho (25), he sent his the original painting to Gallery Viet Fine Arts to sell, but the gallery swapped the original with a fake one (Huong, 2016). The incidents of the Vietnamese auction houses andthe perception of Vietnam arts is a misconception and lacking vital knowledge. For instance, he pointed out the misunderstanding about the prestige of the Vietnamese lacquer painting. In reality, the position of the Vietnamese lacquer painting in the international market is exceptionally humble. Perhaps, not only the people but also the Vietnamese artists still have many things to learn about art as well. Napier and Vuong (2013) suggests that since the mid-1990s, Vietnamese people have a profound lesson to learn: " Money = hard work" first, and the "being rich" part comes later, if at all." And art does not bring the "being rich" part to both the artist and the investor quickly and easily. For the artist, "creating is living doubly" (Camus, 2005), and to improve the


enduring value of an authentic artwork is often overlooked because of the enduring nature of art. 19 There was always something romantic and personal when we talked about art, but not about the market. Nonetheless, the two are intertwined, and the art needs a market to perpetuate. In the international market, the Vietnamese art has a modest position. Thus, the Vietnamese art needs a wellfunctioned Vietnamese art market to continue the legacy from the Indochina artists and promote the Vietnam aesthetic. *Note: Expert A: Bui Quang Khiem (Hanoi College of Arts); Expert B: Nguyen Hai Yen (a retired art critic who spent her entire life studying Vietnamese fine arts while working for The Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts).

The Washington Navy Yard is the U.S. Navy's oldest shore establishment, in operation since the first decade of the 19th century. It evolved from a shipbuilding center to an ordnance plant and then to the ceremonial and administrative center for the Navy. The yard is home to the Chief of Naval Operations and is also headquarters for the Naval Historical Center and numerous naval commands.
The land was purchased under an act of 23 July 1798, with two additional lots being purchased in 1801. The Washington Navy Yard was established on 2 October 1799, the date the property was transferred to the Navy. The yard was built under the direction of Benjamin Stoddert, the first Secretary of the Navy, under the supervision of the


yard's first commandant, Commodore Thomas Tingey, who would serve in that capacity for 29 years.

The original boundaries that were established in 1800, along 9th and M Streets Southeast, are still marked by a white brick wall that surrounds the Navy Yard on the north and east sides. The north wall of the yard was built in 1809 along with a guard house. After the fire of 1814, Commodore Tingey recommended that the height of the eastern wall be increased to ten feet, since along with the fire, looting by the local populace took its toll.Coinciding with the release of his new book 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sat down with me earlier this week in New York City to provide powerful new insights on the historical transition from the sacrifice of others to self-sacrifice. We explored how to dismantle mob violence and defeat witch hunts; his response to his recent controversial interview with Channel 4's Cathy Newman, and how the imitation of Christ can save our civilization. Along the way, Dr. Peterson engaged synergies between his own insights and the groundbreaking anthropological work of the late René Girard and his Mimetic theory.

together, these considerations allow us to see how a leading state and weaker states might make trade-offs about binding themselves together through multilateral institutions. The four factors are summarized in table 3-2.

The more the leading state is capable of dominating and abandoning weaker states, the more the weaker states will care about restraints on its exercise of power—and the more they are likely to make some concessions to obtain the restraint and commitment. Similarly, the more a potentially dominating state can credibly restrain and commit itself, the more the weaker states will be interested in pursuing an institutional bargain. When both these conditions hold—when the leading state can dominate and abandon other states and when it can restrain and commit itself—that state will be particularly willing and ableabout domination. The United States could offer security assistance without threatening complete loss of regional autonomy. The fact that the Western core of the order was built among democratic societies and organized around layers of institutions also helped by increasing the opportunities for reciprocity and voice. Finally, the array of client-state relations—which coexisted with multilateral rules and institutions—created mechanism for side payments, reciprocity, bargaining, and mutual adjustment.

The character and logic of the order was different from anything the world had seen before. It was both hierarchical and loosely rule-based. Its terms were more negotiated than imposed. And with a demand for American hegemonic rule, its supply was generated through the provision of rules and institutions and the forging of an array of patron-client relations.

of a one-world system of rule-based order. But the emergence of law and institutionalized cooperation in the modern era has also rested on a Westphalian system of balanced power and sovereign states. These traditional pillars of realist international order are, for liberal internationalists, both a blessing and a curse. Today, the balance-of-power underpinnings of the system have diminished, and this is a problem for liberal internationalism. Historically, the balance-of-power state system provided a foundation for international law and rule-based order in two ways. One is by solving the power problem through an equilibrium of power among the major states. An international system organized around a balance of power restricts the ability of any one state to dominate the whole system.

A TEENAGER who murdered her grandfather fabricated an eleventh-hour lie to tarnish the name of her victim and excuse her crime, a court has heard.

Supreme Court Justice Kevin Nicholson heard Dwyer told a psychiatrist that her grandfather may have sexually molested her as a child — but she wasn’t sure if it was real or not.

“It is a most unpleasant assertion. It’s unfounded in any other material,” prosecutor Jim Pearce told the court.

Panic Analogue is an original paddle controlled game. It was initially submitted to the 2011 C64 16KB Cartridge Game Development Competition (link) in which it received a third place. The objective of the game is to keep the main character named Redhead alive in the cave where he lives. Little Readhead survives by catching droplets of water and fireballs which are constantly falling from above. However, collecting water must be done with his mouth wide open while catching fireballs has to be done with his torch. Swapping between the two options is done by pressing the fire button. If water hits the torch or Redhead swallows a fireball he dies! If anything is dropped on the floor, redhead dies! Whenever you die, you restart one level down toMario Golf, one might not necessarily think of those adventures, but of some other event that he participated in.

This canít be applied to Capcomís Mega Man franchise. Pretty much every game in the series to this day (with the exception of Mega Man Legends and its sequel) has the same basic formula. So the first impressions of Mega Man should almost be universal. But little do most people know that Mega Man has starred in a sports game thatís not like any of his other adventures. This is Mega Man Soccer, which was released on the SNES and stars Mega Man along with several other robots that appeared in his previous NES adventures.

without immediately being tackled. On defense you have the ability to slide tackle opponents or steal the ball. Although stealing is potentially more effective, it is much harder to pull off, which makes slide tackling the preferred method 98% of the time. With the basic offensive and defensive controls, the game seems dated, and feels like an old NES game. The only difference would be the ability to shoot the devastating robotís special shot, but since each team only receives two per game the majority of the game is about passing and shooting.

Three Cabinet secretaries have appeared to distance themselves from President Trump in the wake of his response to the violence in Charlottesville. (Bastien Inzaurralde/The Washington Post)

President Trump’s senior aides are increasingly airing their private disagreements publicly, exposing a widening rift between the president and key members of his administration over his handling of racial divisions exposed by white supremacist violence in Charlottesville.

Trump — who has fumed at the media’s criticism of his response to Charlottesville — is also annoyed at similar criticism coming from within his administration, especially from National Economic Council Director Gary Cohn and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, according to


influenced by some allies who have long been suspicious of aides in his orbit, including Tillerson, Mattis and Cohn, whom they believe represent establishment views and are, at best, only loosely tied to Trump’s agenda.

Tillerson and a close circle of aides have clashed with White House officials over the many job vacancies and sense of torpor at the State Department, with each side blaming the other for failing to move nominees through the hiring and Senate confirmation process.

The former ExxonMobil chief executive has also been blunt about his policy disagreements with the president and with other Trump advisers. Tillerson said he thought the United States would have been better served by remaining in the Paris climate accord and trying to amend it than by quitting it entirely, asTrump announced he was doing.

And although Tillerson supported the approach to the expansion of forces in Afghanistan that Trump announced last week, he has crossed some Trump allies who think he has influenced the president to be softer on “radical Islamic terror,” a term Trump once used regularly as a candidate but has since uttered far less often.

Cohn has also been at odds with some Trump supporters who count him among a clutch of White House aides who are more closely aligned with Democrats than the president’s agenda.

The prospect of disloyalty in Trump’s Cabinet has only fueled suspicion among some of his allies, including those who have been pushed out of the White House under new Chief of Staff John F. Kelly but still maintain lines of communication


that Austrians need never dally with another political tribe when their cars break down or when on an Alpine stroll.

This arrangement worked when growth was high and jobs plentiful. But when the system faltered, cronyism made an easy target for genuine opposition parties. Austria, which never went through a thorough German-style post-Nazi reckoning, was not inoculated against a xenophobic party like the FPÖ. The party chugged along for years as a political also-ran, until hostility to the clubbiness of Austrian politics lifted it into the major league.

The FPÖ became a serious force in the late 1980s under a charismatic leader, Jörg Haider, who was not averse to praising Nazi Germany. In 1999 it won 27% of the vote and joined an ÖVP-led coalition. (Austria’s horrified EU partners brieflycut diplomatic links.) But after a flurry of early reforms the government turned out to be no less wedded to the methods of patronage than its predecessors. The extent of the corruption the FPÖ practised while in office is only now emerging.

The party split, and for a while sank. Mr Haider died in a car crash in 2008. But last year’s refugee crisis revived it. Austria’s hapless social-democrat chancellor, Werner Faymann, initially supported Germany’s open-door policy before pirouetting gracelessly towards border closures and asylum quotas, as the FPÖ had advocated from the start. The grand coalition fed the discontent with aimless rows. The FPÖ has now topped polls for over a year. On May 9th, under pressure from his disgruntled party, Mr Faymann abruptly resigned.

After being sworn in


district court determined that a Missouri telecommunications statute, Missouri Senate Bill 369 (codified at R.S. Mo. §§ 67.1830-1846 (2001) ("Senate Bill 369")), was facially valid under the Missouri Constitution, placed even more restrictive limitations on municipal authority than did the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996, and rendered the entire Ordinance invalid.

On appeal, the City expressly concedes that if we find Senate Bill 369 valid under the Missouri Constitution, Senate Bill 369 partially invalidates the Ordinance. The City, however, presents no argument in its brief to rebut the district court's finding that the offending provisions in the Ordinance are non-severable and that the Ordinance is invalid as a whole. By failing to address this issue on appeal, the City waived any challenge to the district court's severability determination. SeeMissouri, the basis of Bell's claim regarding vested franchise rights, and the reasonableness or unreasonableness of the City's fees under the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996. From this record, we note only that Bell has maintained telephone lines in the area now encompassed by the City since before the City incorporated, and XO is a telecommunications provider who seeks to use the City's rights-of-way.

The issue we do reach, the facial challenge to the validity of Senate Bill 369 under the Missouri Constitution, presents a pure question of law. For the purposes of our analysis, only a few undisputed facts are relevant. First, the City is a political subdivision of Missouri. Second, the City passed the Ordinance before Missouri passed Senate Bill 369. Third, the title of Senate Bill

The album was criticised for containing an excess of freestyle battle and phony sentimentality.

Keymori Shatoya Johnson was 24 years old living in Albany, Georgia. From the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP):

According to local media reports, which have been consistently misgendering or misnaming Keymori, she was shot and killed on Saturday, December 6th. Police have arrested Kuyaunnis James, 25, who, according to media reports, has been charged with felony involuntary manslaughter, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and solicitation of prostitution.

PEEBLES, Ohio --A four-day-old newborn, a six-month-old baby and a three-year-old child survived aseries of shootings that left eight members of the same family dead in four southern Ohio homes, officials said at a press conference Friday.

All of the victims had been shot in the head in execution-style killings, some while in their beds, according to Ohio attorney general Mike DeWine. None of them had committed suicide, according to DeWine, and authorities cautioned that there may be a shooter or shooters on the loose who should be considered armed and "extremely dangerous."

All of the victims were adults except for one 16-year-old boy, accordingto Pike County sheriff Charles Reader and DeWine.

Reader described the four active crimes scenes as "horrific," and DeWine called the shootings "heartbreaking."

"I think what makes this particularly grisly is the fact that you have these children involved who were obviously there when the executions took place," DeWine said.

The shootings had apparently happened in the overnight hours, DeWine said. The four-day-old infant, he said, was nearby as the mother, one of the victims, was fatally shot in her bed, he said.

Reader identified the deceased as members of the Rhoden family. He said that authorities were first


alerted to the shootings just before 8 a.m. when Pike County dispatchers received a 911 call reporting two men were possibly dead at a home at 4077 Union Hill Road in Peebles. As officers responded, they were flagged down and alerted to two more crime scenes also on Union Hill Road - 4199 and 3122, Reader said. Authorities said two of the homes were in short walking distance, and the third was about a mile away.

Seven people were found slain in the three homes. Reader said he contacted the attorney general's office and asked the state Bureau of Criminal Investigation to lead the investigation because of the multiple crime scenes.

Later in the day, authorities received another 911 call alerting them to another possibly deceased man at a hometheir location," DeWine said. "We would advise the people of Pike County not to panic, but certainly to be careful."

Authorities would not say whether they've recovered a weapon.

Thousands flooded social media expressing shock over the shootings and condolences to the family. Ohio governor John Kasich, currently campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination, said in a tweet that the shootings were "tragic beyond comprehension."

A dozen Bureau of Criminal Investigation agents were called Friday morning to Pike County, an economically struggling area in the Appalachian region some 80 miles east of Cincinnati. The FBI in Cincinnati also said it was closely monitoring the situation and has offered assistance to the Pike County sheriff's office if needed.

Peebles High School imposed a precautionary lockout Friday morning after authorities notified the superintendent of


shootings that had occurred a few miles away, according to Regina Bennington, secretary to the superintendent for the Adams County Ohio Valley Schools district. High school officials said the school was back to normal operations later Friday morning.

Goldie Hilderbran, 65, said she lives about a mile from where she has been told the shootings took place. "I first heard about it this morning from our mail carrier," Hilderbran said.

Hilderbran said the mail carrier told her deputies had stopped her from delivering mail in the area they had blocked off.

"She just told me she knew something really bad has happened," Hilderbran said.

DeWine encouraged anyone with information to contact authorities.H. while holding a gun to his

            Display shelving for retail sales is well known in the art. Such shelving is typically placed in aisles, with multiple tiers of shelving. A typical style of such shelving is known as gondola shelving. Gondola shelving may be single-sided, with horizontal shelves extending outward from a vertical backing into an aisle. Gondola shelving may also be double-sided, with horizontal shelves extending outward from either side of the vertical backing into adjacent aisles. Shelving also may wrap around the ends, forming end caps.
Most shelving also makes use of price tags to identify the product placed thereon as well as the price and unit cost. Price tags are typically affixed to the front of shelving, in a substantially vertical orientation. Such placement results in difficulty in reading price tags that


Behind ‘Spider-Man 2’ Plugging ‘X-Men’ (EXCLUSIVE)

Marc Collins-Rector, the former chairman of Digital Entertainment Network, an ambitious Internet startup that sputtered in the dotcom bust of 2000, is also cited in the Singer lawsuit, although he is not named as a defendant. He is accused of initiating the sexual abuse of Egan and arranging for Singer to assault Egan at a house in Encino, Calif.

Collins-Rector is a registered sex offender, having pleaded guilty in 2004 to luring minors across state lines for sexual acts.

The lawsuit alleges that Collins-Rector and his Digital Entertainment Network investors, including Singer, would lure young men to a house dubbed the M & C Estate in Encino to intoxicate and sexually assault them and that many in the Hollywood industry were aware of the “notorious14 or 15 when he moved to Los Angeles with his family to pursue an acting career. A friend from a small private school in the San Fernando Valley, Scott Shackley, introduced him to his older brother, Chad, in 1998. Chad Shackley, according to the suit, lived in the M & C Estate in Encino with Collins-Rector, and Egan and Scott Shackley would visit. Eventually, Egan was placed on the DEN payroll, provided with extravagant gifts, and taken via private jet on various trips, along with the opportunity to audition for acting and modeling jobs, the suit states.

But the parties at the M&C Estate were “well known and notorious” among “many men in the Hollywood entertainment industry,” the suit states, as they were “typically sordid and featured sexual


masturbated Plaintiff and then performed oral sex upon him. Defendant Singer solicited Plaintiff to perform oral sex upon him which Plaintiff resisted. Defendant Singer flagrantly disregarded Plaintiff’s unwillingness to submit, and forced Plaintiff’s head underwater to make Plaintiff perform oral sex upon him. When Plaintiff pulled his head out of the water in order to breathe, Defendant Singer demanded that he continue which Plaintiff refused. Defendant Singer then forced Plaintiff to continue performing oral sex upon him outside of the pool, and subsequently forcibly sodomized Plaintiff.

When he was 17, Egan claims in the suit, he was flown to Hawaii to stay at the Paul Mitchell estate, and on the first of the trips he was instructed to spend the first two nights in a room with Singer. HeThe past 18 months have seen extraordinary outpourings of discontent. But what links them? In this extract from his new book, Paul Mason examines how technology has been at the heart of the global unrest, and finds parallels less with 1968, and more with 1914

It was a cold Friday night early last year, sometime between the fall of Ben Ali in Tunisia and the fall of the Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. I got a call: would I do a lecture on the history of the Paris Commune for something called The Really Free School in Bloomsbury?

I turned up to the venue to find it was a squat. They had formed an ad hoc university, occupied an 18th-century townhouse in the heart of London and stuck a sign on


the door saying "Journalists Fuck Off". Here was the hard core of the student protest movement: dedicated eco-warriors, veterans of suicidal sit-downs in front of tanks in Gaza, the demobbed Clown Army and, as my host put it, "the Situationist Taliban".

The discussion buzzed: is it technology, economics, mass psychology or just the zeitgeist that's caused this global explosion of revolt? I inclined to a technological-determinist explanation: "Look how your eyes shine when we talk about the network. It's the network!"

Glancing at my iPhone, I realised why they seemed occasionally distracted: they were tweeting the entire conversation, live, to their friends.

The next morning I wrote a blogpost based on the conversation: Twenty Reasons Why It's Kicking Off Everywhere. It went viral. Within a month I met an American hacker,search for parallels. Nigel Inkster, former director of operations for Britain's Secret Intelligence Service, told me: "It's a revolutionary wave, like 1848." Others found analogies with 1968 or the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. In late January 2011, I sat with veteran reporters in a TV newsroom and discussed whether this was Egypt's 1905 or its 1917.

But there is something in the air that defies historical parallels: something new to do with technology, behaviour and popular culture. As well as a flowering of collective action in defence of democracy, and a resurgence of the struggles of the poor and oppressed, what's going on is also about the expanded power of the individual.

For the first time in decades, people are using methods of protest that do not


type: the graduate with no future. In North Africa there is a demographic bulge of young people, including graduates and students, who are unable to get a decent job – or indeed any job. By 2011, there was 20% youth unemployment across the region, where two-thirds of the population is under the age of 30. In Libya, despite high GDP growth, youth unemployment stood at 30%. But youth unemployment is not a factor confined to North Africa. In Spain, in 2011 youth unemployment was running at 46%, a figure partially ameliorated by the tendency for young Spaniards to live off their extended families. In Britain, on the eve of the student riots of 2010, youth unemployment stood at 20%.

The financial crisis of 2008 created a generation of twentysomethingsand the working class. The estates, the gated communities, the informal meeting spaces, the dead spaces between tower blocks just big enough to be blocked by a burning car, the pheromone-laden nightclubs – all combine to form a theatrical backdrop for the kind of revolts we've seen.

Second, members of this generation of "graduates with no future" recognise one another as part of an international sub-class, with behaviours and aspirations that easily cross borders. I saw the Egyptian revolutionary socialist Gigi Ibrahim (@GSquare86), an iconic figure in the 25 January revolution, speak to London students a few weeks after Mubarak fell. There was no noticeable difference between her clothes, language and culture and theirs. She didn't mind that the meeting was small, that people came and went at random,


depending on their other social commitments; she was not put off by their texting and tweeting during her speech.

The boom years of globalisation created a mass, transnational culture of being young and educated; now there is a mass transnational culture of disillusionment. And it transmits easily. When activists such as Ibrahim began to appear on TV in vox pops from Tahrir Square, youth all over the world – above all in America, where the image of the Arab world has been about Islam, terrorism and the veil – simply said to themselves: "Heck, that kid is just like me."

There is a third social impact of the graduate with no future: the sheer size of the student population means that it is a transmitter of unrest to a muchwider section of the population than before. Since 2000, the global participation rate in higher education has grown from 19% to 26%; in Europe and North America, a staggering 70% now complete post-secondary education. In Britain, the Blair government's policy of getting half of all school-leavers into higher education meant that, when it broke out, student discontent would penetrate into hundreds of thousands of family homes. While the middle-class student activists of 1968 thought of themselves as external detonators of the working class, the students of 2010 were thoroughly embedded both in the workforce and in low-income communities.

In North Africa, though many of the college students who led the revolutions were drawn from the elite, you find this same blurring of the edges between the educated youth and


the poor. The story of Mohamed Bouazizi, the street trader whose self-immolation on the morning of 17 January 2011 sparked the revolution in Tunisia, illustrates this well. He can't get a job because, in a corrupt dictatorship, he lacks the right connections. He's a street vendor earning $140 a month, but he's using the money to put his sister through college. The 2008 uprising in Mahalla, Egypt, saw this same overlap of worker, student and urban poor. As the blogger and activist Hossam el-Hamalawy told me, in the poor neighbourhoods of Egypt you will usually find one son unemployed, another working in a factory, another at university. The issues of poverty and repression overlap; in each poor neighbourhood the police station is basically a torture centre.

This new sociologyof revolt calls to mind conditions prior to the Paris Commune of 1871: a large and radicalised intelligentsia, a slum-dwelling class finding its voice through popular culture, and a weakened proletariat, still wedded to the organisations and traditions of 20 years before. It makes the social order of the modern city highly fragile under economic stress.

The French historian Hippolyte Taine understood the essential danger of this social mix. When it comes to revolution, he warned, forget the poor and worry about poor lawyers: "Now, as formerly, students live in garrets, bohemians in lodgings, physicians without patients and lawyers without clients in lonely offices … so many Brissots, Marats, Dantons, Robespierres, and St-Justs in embryo. Only for lack of air and sunshine they never come to maturity." Taine put


his finger on what, in 1789, had turned the normal rebelliousness of impoverished graduates into a force that would reshape the world. He saw that the "worm-eaten barriers [had] cracked all at once".

Technology, social change, institutional decay had unleashed something bigger than teenage angst. If this sounds like an 18th-century version of the "death of deference" complaint, well, it was. A deep social crisis was under way, then as now. But with one big difference: today, in every garret there is a laptop.

Social media and new technology were crucial in shaping the revolutions of 2011, just as they shaped industry, finance and mass culture in the preceding decade. What's important isnot that the Egyptian youth used Facebook, or that the British students used Twitter and the Greek rioters organised via Indymedia, but what they used these media for – and what such technology does to hierarchies, ideas and actions.

Here, the crucial concept is the network – whose impact on politics has been a long time coming. The network's basic law was explained by Bell Telephone boss Theodore Vail as early as 1908: the more people who use the network, the more useful it becomes to each user. (The most obvious impact of the "network effect" has been on the media and ideology. Long before people started using Twitter to foment social unrest, mainstream journalists noticed – to their dismay –that the size of one's public persona or pay


see arms holding cellphones in the air, like small flocks of ostriches, snapping scenes of repression or revolt, offering instant and indelible image-capture to a global audience.

And in all the theatres of revolution, blogs have offered a vital resource: somewhere to link to. Their impact can be measured by the fact that, in 2011, 7% of Middle Eastern bloggers surveyed reported they had been arrested by their respective security forces. The ability to deploy, without expert knowledge, a whole suite of information tools has allowed protesters across the world to outwit the police, to beam their message into the newsrooms of global media, and above all to assert a cool, cutting-edge identity in the face of what WH Auden once called "the elderly rubbish dictators talk". It hasof revolt goes into constant flux. Even in the period since the Iranian uprisings of July 2009, changes have taken place in the way protesters use social media, in the way rioting is directed (as with the BlackBerry riots in England in 2011), and in the way people evade internet shutdowns.

In the middle of the biggest upsurge in labour protests for a decade, it seems impolite to mention the name of André Gorz. Gorz was a French Marxist who for 20 years was spat on by left commentators for writing a book entitled Farewell to the Working Class (1980). Gorz asserted that the old proletariat had been dissolved by modern technology and that the class


struggle would be replaced by individual personal politics. He was wrong: the world economy has created 1.5 billion extra workers since his book was written. He was also wrong to claim that capitalism was destroying skilled work. And yet parts of the book now bear rereading, in particular Gorz's definition of revolution: taking power implies taking it away from its holders, not by occupying their posts but by making it permanently impossible for them to keep their machinery of domination running. Revolution is first and foremost the irreversible destruction of this machinery. It implies a form of collective practice capable of bypassing and superseding it through the development of an alternative network of relations. By this definition we are in the middle of a revolution: something wider thana pure political overthrow and narrower than the classic social revolutions of the 20th century.

The decade before 1914 was an age very much like ours, one in which the most innovative technologies were those that produced greater freedom of action and thought: the motor car, the cinema, the phonogram and the telephone. The Austrian writer Stefan Zweig summed up how it felt to be young before 1914, and what was lost when war, revolution and the swing towards totalitarianism ended it all: "Before those wars," he recalled, "I saw individual freedom at its zenith and after them I saw liberty at its lowest point in hundreds of years."

Looked at this way, the real precedent for the past 20 years of ecstasy-fuelled, iPod-engrossed, latte-sipping individualism is not the 1960s


but the years before 1914. The radicals of the 60s were able to conceive the possibility of a new mode of human existence, but technology and the balance of global forces – class, race, inter-state rivalry – militated against achieving it. In the pre-1914 period, the freedom zeitgeist, technological progress and globalisation were aligned. Now they are aligned again.

The past 10 years have seen disruptions in the pattern of social life that mirror what happened in that era. But this time, it's happening at high velocity and across the canvas of all humanity.

A top story at the 2012 New York Auto Show is the debut of the production version of the NYC Nissan ‘Taxi Of Tomorrow’. The formal unveiling was expected following the Design Expo Nissan held last fall which previewed the interior of the new cab.

We wondered to what degree Nissan would use the taxi contract as a channel to promote their consumer vehicles. The answer is clear for anyone walking the blocks surrounding the Javits Convention Center. Nissan has a billboards on 10th Ave as well as one directly across from Javits. The latter is double sided and features an animated door panel which slides open to reveal the interior.

Prior to this invention various types of apparatus for preparing taco shells have been developed. A common drawback of the prior art devices is their inability to automatically produce, in a trouble-free manner, large quantities of taco shells of uniform high quality.
Other drawbacks of the prior art devices include the use of inordinately large quantities of cooking oil and, in certain cases, the highly undesirable necessity of operator handling of the food product at various points during the cooking and packaging process.
One of the most successful prior art devices ever developed is described in my previously issued U.S. Pat. No. 3,766,846. The apparatus of the present invention constitutes an improvement of the apparatus described in this patent.

John Conyers, a Democrat from Michigan who served for more than 50 years in the US House of Representatives, has died. He was 90.

A spokeswoman confirmed his death and issued a statement on behalf of the family which said “the city of Detroit, the United States and the world [had] lost a fearless civil rights leader and hero”.

Conyers, the statement said, “was a devoted father and husband and his world revolved around securing justice against racial and economic discrimination … his legacy and advocacy for human rights will live on forever.”

Elected as one of only six black members of the House in 1964, Conyers served until 2017. A co-founder member of the Congressional Blackwould represent, where his father was a union organiser. He insisted his son, a jazz aficionado, should not become a musician.

Jazz remained one of Conyers’ “great pleasures”. He sponsored legislation to forgive the $1.6m tax debt of band leader Woody Herman’s estate and once kept a bass in his Washington office.

Before heading to Congress, Conyers served in the national guard and with the US Army Corps of Engineers during the Korean war, supervising aircraft repairs. He earned degrees from Wayne State University in the late 1950s.

From 1958 to 1961 he worked as a legislative assistant to John Dingell, another Michigan Democrat who when he retired in 2014 at 88 was the longest-serving member of Congress, a mantle that passed to Conyers.

In 1964, Conyers won his first congressional election


by just 108 votes. It was however the beginning of more than 50 years of dominance at the polls, during which Conyers regularly won with more than 80% of the vote, even after his wife went to prison for taking a bribe.

Conyers was able to speak his mind. In 2004, he said President George W Bush had been “an absolute disaster for the African American community”. In 1979, he called President Jimmy Carter “a hopeless, demented, honest, well-intentioned nerd who will never get past his first administration”. Carter didn’t.

In July 1967, parts of Detroit were burned during riots sparked by hostilities between black residents and the mostly white police force. Conyers’ district office was gutted by fire. The plight of the nation’s inner cities would remain a keycause.

He used his influence to push civil rights. After a 15-year fight, he won passage of legislation declaring Rev Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday a national holiday, first celebrated in 1986. Starting in 1989, he regularly introduced a bill to study the harm caused by slavery and the possibility of reparations. It never got past a subcommittee.

Conyers’ office in Detroit employed the civil rights legend Rosa Parks from 1965 until her retirement in 1988. In 2005, Conyers was one of 11 people inducted to the International Civil Rights Walk of Fame.

In 2013, he was fiercely opposed to Detroit being taken over by a state-appointed emergency


manager as the city declared bankruptcy.

He became chairman of the House judiciary committee in 2006, overseeing hearings the next year into the White House’s role in the firing of eight federal prosecutors and in 2009 on how the NFL dealt with head injuries to players.

He was also an early supporter of then-senator Barack Obama, who was expected by some in the Congressional Black Caucus to push public health insurance, sharp funding increases for urban development and other initiatives long blocked by Republicans.

“We want him to stand strong,” Conyers said.

He was touched by scandal. In 2009, his wife Monica Conyers, a Detroit city councilwoman, pleaded guilty to bribery related to a sludge hauling contract. She spent nearly two years in prison.

Three years earlier, the House ethics committee closed athree-year investigation of allegations that Conyers’ staff worked on political campaigns and were ordered to babysit his two children and run personal errands. He promised changes.

Then, in 2017, after a nearly 53-year career, Conyers became the first Capitol Hill politician to lose his job because of sexual misconduct allegations in the #MeToo era.

An ethics committee launched a review after a former staffer said Conyers’ office paid her more than $27,000 under a confidentiality agreement to settle a complaint in 2015. She alleged she was fired because she rejected his sexual advances. Others said they had witnessed inappropriate behaviour.

Conyers initially said he looked forward vindicating himself and his family. But opposition from colleagues including Nancy Pelosi,


then minority leader, proved too much to bear. His seat was won by Rashida Tlaib, one of the first Muslim women in Congress.

In a statement on Sunday, Pelosi saluted a life “lived in service to achieving true equality in America” and said Conyers’ leadership made a difference in the lives of countless Americans”.

Along with his wife, Conyers is survived by two sons, John III and Carl.

In quotes provided by the family spokeswoman, Monica Conyers said: “My husband was a fighter; when your back was up against a wall, he was right there with you. Not just for me, but for everyone.”

His sons saluted his ability “to stay dignified when facing a challenge” and said he “exemplified grace with everyone he met”.malignancies.

Clinical skills and implications
--------------------------------

"The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant." The key to everything is to know. Knowledge unlocks doors. In clinical terms, this motto translates into the requirement of an early detection of a BAP1 germline mutation to prevent later, more serious, malignancies. It is clinician's responsibility be aware of the possible existence of this syndrome, once detected in affected individuals, extending screening to all the members of his family and identifying clinical risks together with pathological, diagnostic, and therapeutic courses. In the light of the discovery of the novel, autosomal dominant BAP1 cancer predisposition syndrome described, there is a clinically relevant focus on the importance of multidisciplinary approach in

Still a Few Bricks in the Wall

August 13 marks the 42nd anniversary of the construction of the Berlin Wall. But these days visitors to Germany's capital may be hard-pressed to locate remnants of the formerly divided city's most famous sight.

Finding the Berlin Wall isn't as easy as it once was.

Tourists in Paris visit the Eiffel Tower, Prague's guests cross the Charles Bridge and in Berlin vacationers go to the Wall.

If they can find it.

For almost 30 years it was Berlin's most famous landmark, but now the "anti-Fascist protective barrier," as it was called in communist East Germany, isn't easy to locate.

Visitors still anxious to explore one of the symbols of the Cold War aren't entirely out of luck. Though most of the 155-kilometers (96 miles) of concretewall and fences were dismantled years ago, bits and pieces of the border construction encircling West Berlin are still on view.

The most realistic -- and least visited -- place to find remains of the Wall is Bernauer Strasse on the border between the Mitte (east) and Wedding (west) districts. It was here that East Berliners started trying to jump out of the windows of apartment buildings into the west on August 13, 1961, as the Wall was being built.

Recreating the death strip

The Berlin Wall Memorial at Bernauer Strasse

At Bernauer Strasse you see that the Wall actually came in twos. From the eastern side of the Wall Memorial you can peek through gaps in the original concrete plates that made up the structure and get a vague sense of


the oppressiveness of the Wall. Instead of a view of the west you see a wasteland of weeds and lampposts and behind them another concrete sheath, the second wall that was erected right next to West Berlin territory.

For an extensive view of the former death strip climb up the recently opened tower at the nearby Berlin Wall Documentation Center to the viewing platform. The Documentation Center tells the history of the Wall, and the adjacent Chapel of Reconciliation recalls the Protestant church that was off-limits to the public after the Wall was built on either side of it. The disused church was torn down 24 years later.

Checkpoint Charlie

The first guard house at Checkpoint Charlie is erected.

More wall -- this time just one layer -- can be found onthe cobblestone Niederkirchner Strasse, just down the street from Berlin's Senate building and the former border crossing Checkpoint Charlie. The fall of the Wall in November 1989 looks like it was just yesterday here, where the concrete plates are covered in graffiti and the metal girders gape from holes chipped in the fortification.

Flanked by replicas of the guard houses that once stood at the border crossing where the American sector of Berlin ended and the Soviet sector began, the Museum Haus on Checkpoint Charlie also features a permanent exhibition on the Wall, including many of the original contraptions used by the more than 5,000 people who managed to escape over or under it.

Strollers pass the East Side Gallery.

The East Side Gallery in the Friedrichshain district of the city


gives you the Wall in color. After East Germany collapsed artists covered the once untouchable kilometer-long stretch on Mühlenstrasse with paintings. Now they are flaking and gradually disintegrating, despite the efforts of artists to keep them up, and their future remains uncertain.

On Puschkinallee in the district of Treptow you can go inside the only watchtower open to the public. In 1990 young artists established the Museum of Forbidden Art there and saved the four-story tower from demolition twice. Now the building is under historical protection.

And if you're feeling a sporty, rent a bike and take the Berlin Wall bike path. You can trace the route, but you're not likely to see many remains of the Wall on the way. Only a fourth of the expanse cut through thelike the Nazis. This is not about bringing a few people to justice who behead the innocent in a brutal fashion. It's about protecting millions of people throughout the world from a radical Islamic army. They are intending to come here. … There is no way in hell you can form an army on the ground to go into Syria, to destroy ISIL without a substantial American component. … This is a turning point in the War on Terror. Our strategy will fail, yet again. This president needs to rise to the occasion before we all get killed here at home.

(Emphasis mine.) As far as relentlessly propagandizing in favor of war goes, surely Graham is the worst possible offender. He is blatantly trying to scare people—crazy Muslims are


mounted on a tubular sleeve, wherein the tubular sleeve is slidable and rotatable on a guide wire between proximal and distal stops. The filter element on the tubular sleeve is delivered in a collapsed state within a catheter and self-deploys when the catheter is retracted. In the deployed state, the tubular sleeve facilitates some manipulation of the guide wire while potentially reducing disruption of the filter element.
One drawback associated with the device described in the Gilson patent is that the guide wire is delivered into the patient's vessel with the filter element disposed in a collapsed state between the proximal and distal stops near the distal end of the guide wire. The placement of the filter element near the distal end of the guide wire during delivery mayplurality of radiographic images of a biopsy region in a stereographic image capturing process. The biopsy apparatus determines the three-dimensional position of the biopsy region from the acquired radiographic images, moves a biopsy needle to the biopsy region based on the determined three-dimensional position, and samples tissue from the biopsy region with the biopsy needle.
It is assumed that when tissue is sampled from a biopsy region in a subject's breast as the object to be examined, the breast is placed on an image capturing base, which houses therein a radiation detector for converting radiation into a radiographic image. The breast is compressed against the image capturing base by a compression plate, which is displaced toward the image capturing base.
The biopsy apparatus samples tissue from the biopsy region in


the breast by inserting the biopsy needle into the breast through an opening defined in the compression plate. In the art, there are different processes for inserting the biopsy needle into the breast. They include (1) a process for inserting the biopsy needle into the breast along a direction in which the compression plate compresses the breast (in the description of the related art, this process will be referred to as “vertical piercing”) and (2) a process for inserting the biopsy needle into the breast while the biopsy needle is oriented obliquely to the direction in which the compression plate compresses the breast (in the description of the related art, this process will be referred to as “oblique piercing”). Commercially available biopsy apparatus, which are presently available inpositioned below an outer circumferential area of the opening in the compression plate, regardless of the thickness of the breast. In order to sample tissue from the dead zone, it is necessary to release the breast from the compression plate, then position the breast so that the dead zone is placed at the center of the opening as viewed in plan, compress the breast again with the compression plate, and insert the biopsy needle obliquely into the breast. Therefore, in the oblique piercing process, it is necessary to repeat a sequence of successive steps of positioning the breast, compressing the breast, capturing an image of the breast, inserting the biopsy needle into the breast, sampling tissue from the breast, and releasing the breast, as many times as the


Blackhawks Sign Ville Pokka To 1-Year Deal

According to Scott Powers at The Athletic – Chicago, the Blackhawks have agreed to a one-year deal with defenseman Ville Pokka.

Pokka, 23, was originally a second round pick (#35) in the 2012 NHL Draft by the New York Islanders, and was acquired by the Blackhawks in the trade sending Nick Leddy to the Isles. He has appeared in 76 regular season AHL games in each of the last two years with the Rockford IceHogs, but has yet to make his NHL debut.

Pokka skated for Finland at the World Cup of Hockey before last season in spite of a lower-body injury impacting his summer, according to Powers. He is a right-handed shot and is listed at 6-0 and 200 pounds.

Mr Clapcott had to take out an £800 insurance policy to cover his personal and professional liability for the project.

The mosaic also features the QR code needed to create the interactive experience, called an augmented reality app, for people with smartphones who visit the plaques, and which also makes the creation of Made in Derby a unique piece of art.

Mr Clapcott added: “We can utilise smartphone video to publicise the achievements of our city. With the help of new local firms, and the free city wifi, we can create news stories about our successes and animated biographical features.

He said:plaques ahead of schedule and only has final testing of the augmented reality app to complete later this week, ahead of the official unveiling on Saturday, between 11am and 12.30pm.

The idea for Made in Derby originally came from discussions between the Derby Telegraph, Derby City Council and local business leaders. The £70,000 cost is being part-funded through a grant from the Local Enterprise Partnership, D2N2.

Derby Telegraph editor Steve Hall said the idea stemmed from the success of local sportsmen and women in last year’s Olympic Games, including Adam Peaty.

Mr Hall said: “We thought that more needed to be done to recognise the achievements of people who were from Derby or had strong associations with our city.”

Ward's 1913 article "Eugenics, Euthenics, and Eudemics", Chesterton's 1917 book Eugenics and Other Evils, and Boas' 1916 article "Eugenics" (published in The Scientific Monthly) were all harshly critical of the rapidly growing movement. Sutherland identified eugenists as a major obstacle to the eradication and cure of tuberculosis in his 1917 address "Consumption: Its Cause and Cure", and criticism of eugenists and Neo-Malthusians in his 1921 book Birth Control led to a writ for libel from the eugenist Marie Stopes.

By The Numbers: Panthers 4, Leafs 3 (OT)

Panthers By The Numbers takes a closer look at some of the
interesting stats that you may or may have not known about.
Panthers 4, Maple Leafs 3 (OT)

1 - Playing in just the third game of his career against his former team, Niklas Hagman scored his first goal against the team he spent the first four years of his career with. Hagman took on three Panthers defenders while slicing to the front of the net and beating Craig Anderson for his 14th of the season.

16 – Gregory Campbell netted his 11th of the season to knot the score at one but Toronto built a 3-1 lead with a two goals goals 2:33 apart in game time, off 16th of the season fromtwo Maple Leafs forwards. Alex Ponikarovsky scored his 16th with 19.2 seconds left in the first and Nik Antropov one-timed the puck into the back of the net for his 16th just 2:11 into the second.

5 – Making a nice cross-ice pass to set up Stephen Weiss for his ninth of the season, Cory Stillman picked up his fifth assist in the last four games. Stillman had an assist against Philadelphia and then picked up three helpers against the Canadiens. His 17 assists are tied for second on the team with Nathan Horton. Weiss has 26.

33 – Owning what seemed to be most of the game, the Maple Leafs mad a mistake with 1:25 left in the game. It cost them. Ponikarovsky was put in the box with


85 seconds left for boarding and 33 seconds later, 52.3 seconds left on the clock, Stillman knotted the score at three. Sitting to the right of the net, he rebounded Weiss’ point shot over Vesa Toskala for his 11th of the season.

6 – For the second straight game, a defenseman led the Panthers in shots on goal with six. Nick Boynton had six against the Islanders on Saturday and Tuesday night it was Bryan McCabe’s turn. The former Leaf led the Cats with six and the last one was the most important as it gave the Panthers a victory. McCabe’s first against his former team (12 games) and 10th of the season came with 1:30 left in overtime.

3 – For the second time in the last three gamesgood away from the BankAtlantic Center scoring at a clip of 18.3% of their opportunities (15th).

4 – Led by Weiss’ three points, the Panthers had four players with multi-point games as Stillman and Campbell finished with a goal and an assist while Nathan Horton registered his third multi-assist game of the year (2 assists). Toronto on the other hand had one player reach the scoreboard more than once, defenseman Jeff Finger who picked up two assists.

1 (part II) – It was a season’s first for the Panthers. Down 3-1 and heading into the final period of play the Panthers did something they had not done this season and that was come back to win a game after trailing after two periods. Before Stillman tied it and then McCabe


Corporate leaders give themselves a lousy grade on their efforts to develop sustainable supplies of natural resources strained by a growing global population and a rapidly expanding middle class of consumers.

With demand for everything from food and water to rare earth minerals expected to continue to rise, companies and governments are increasingly undertaking a variety of efforts to develop a more sustainable supply chain, one of the topics highlighted at the Clinton Global Initiative's annual meeting.

Among other projects, the Clinton Global Initiative last year helped launch Sustainable WasteResources International to tackle the health and environmental impact of billions of tons of waste produced worldwide.

This year's week-long conference will bring together more than 1,000 global leaders—some 60 current and former headsand released Friday.

In the short term, the tough economic climate has made it more difficult for businesses to justify these investments. But the long-term outlook hasn't changed, according to Craig Hanson, director of the People and Ecosystems Program at the World Resources Institute.

(Read more: A hungry world: Lots of food, in too few places)

"The outlook does look dire for many types of natural resources if we continue on the status quo," he said. "The tough issue is that many of the places that face those resource constraints don't have the technical or human capacity to adjust and deal with an acute shortage."

But corporate CEOs report that they're having a harder time justifying the investment in overhauling their supply chains to promote sustainability. "Signals from consumers are mixed" and


a catastrophic famine.

Since then, tight supplies of raw materials and commodities have typically spurred investment in new production, and research in efficiency and substitution of cheaper materials have helped head off shortages. As a result, for much of the last century, the global economy was fueled by a seemingly endless supply of cheap, abundant raw materials.

But the rapid expansion of the global pool of middle-class consumers is straining the world's supplies of natural resources—from energy and minerals to water and food—at a pace that would make Malthus say "I told you so."

"It's not the total number of people, it's the number in the consuming class," Fraser Thompson, a senior fellow at the McKinsey Global Institute, co-author of a 2011 report on resource sustainability. "That's where the real transformationalrating was a shade over 86. It does not get much more average than that.

Given those numbers, it is easy to see why so many around the league (including the Broncos) balked at paying the kind of money the Texans did for Osweiler. In Denver, Osweiler was asked to manage a franchise for a little while. He is more than capable of doing that. In Houston, he was asked to carry a franchise to glory. It takes a special quarterback to do that. To say it has not worked out for Osweiler in Houston would be an understatement. Struggling to complete half his passes, he sits in the bottom five among qualifying quarterbacks in completion percentage. He has also thrown more interceptions than touchdowns.

cavosurface margin circumference were evaluated using a 5-point scale. The results were statistically compared with Wilcoxon rank sum test with Bonferroni correction. 3D SS-OCT could detect enamel cracks at the cavosurface margin of composite restorations. Cervical regions caused more enamel cracking than mid-coronal regions. Phosphoric acid etching increased the incidence of enamel cracks compared with the preparations without etching. SS-OCT can be used to detect enamel cracks at the margins of composite restorations noninvasively. Presence and extent of enamel cracks depended on the enamel region and bonding protocol.

It must be admitted that they looked idle as they sprawled on
the turf of Jerry's back yard under the relaxing rays of the

them and to see the cord leading from it to a slender microphone
