PONTIAC, Mich. – The custody battle over three children put in a juvenile center because they wouldn't communicate with their father has taken a new turn.

The kids are now at summer camp and their father, Omer Tsimhoni, filed for temporary sole custody Thursday.

Tsimhoni's lawyer said in the motion filed that "Defendant Father does not want to punish Plaintiff Mother, prevent her from seeing the children, or take the children away from her permanently. He would like both parties to have a healthy, loving relationship with the children."

The story of the bitter divorce of Omer and Maya Tsimhoni sparked outrage across the country after Oakland County Circuit Court Judge Lisa Gorcyca placed the children, 14, 10 and 9, in Children's Village last month for refusing to spend time withHe wanted to work out a party line to present to the world. This task was hardly made easier by a rumour that had reached the press the night before, that the Reichsführer had been captured as a result of a carefully planned operation and was alive in British hands. Murphy had clearly been shaken by the suicide and the fact that he had not been in effective charge of the prisoner at the critical moment.

Among those summoned to the meeting was Dr Wells, who received his first warning: strict orders not to discuss the affair with anyone. Even if people started pointing out what they saw as discrepancies in the official account, they were not to be answered. Also present were Lieutenant-Colonel Stapleton, Colonel Murphy's second-in-command, Lieutenant-Colonel


upon his return to Hannover from holiday. An unidentified visitor asked him whether he could tell from looking at a corpse's face the likelihood of force having damaged or displaced any features without there being bruising. His answer, of course, was no. If the body at 31a Ülzenerstrasse had died due to brutality, the post-mortem findings would have been quite different. There would certainly have been bruising, swelling and discoloration somewhere on the corpse, probably including the face. When trauma occurs, swelling results from increased fluid in the tissues (oedema). Bruising happens after blood leaks from broken capillaries. As anyone who has watched a boxing match will know, facial bruises and swelling are rapid and obvious, as the soft tissues are well supplied with blood. When the facialhelp of his dad – who’s an AD at a private school back in Montreal – and a lot of interest coming from The Hotchkiss School, Mitchell committed to the prep institution in Lakeville, Connecticut.

“They showed a lot of interest,” he said. “It was a great school with a great hockey program, so it was a perfect fit for me.”

After two more seasons, where he was yet again an all-star and the team’s leading scorer in consecutive seasons, the Greenfield native generated the buzz he hoped would propel his career into the collegiate ranks.

Bring on Burlington

Mitchell was elated to know that his hard work was paying off. The plan he resurrected some years ago led him to this point. Now all he had to do was make a


decision where to go next.

“It came down to Vermont, Clarkson, and Boston University, “ he explained. “I choose the University of Vermont because I just loved everything about it. It was close to home, Burlington is a great town, and it was perfect fit. I knew from the second I had visited the campus that this was the place.”

Although, before he could officially get to campus, there one little blip during that off-season. After being skipped over in the 2003 NHL Draft, the summer of 2004 was much kinder. With the 126th overall pick, the Sharks selected Mitchell in the fourth round.

He just put his head down and went right back to work. He worked too hard to get caught up in the “what if’” at this point.to play on the first line right away, produce, and potentially be an impact player.”

In his sophomore and junior years, he would continue to be that impact player he dreamed he would be. He went on to lead the team in scoring and earned Honorable Mention Hockey East All-Star two consecutive years

Sharks start to swarm

Having breathed life back into the Vermont program with three years of hard work and dedication, the San Jose staff was very interested in the shifty, point producing two-way forward. After the completion of his junior season, the Catamounts co-captain decided to forgo his senior season and sign an entry-level contract with San Jose.

“There were a lot of decisions to make when it came to leaving,” he said. “You always want to graduate when


it comes to college once you get there and I came pretty close. It was a hard decision but I believe it was the best at the time. It’s turned out okay so far.”

The opportunity to play at the next level was just too intoxicating and Mitchell knew he had to make the most of such a rewarding opportunity.

He didn’t waste anytime either. He joined the Worcester Sharks in the AHL for the rest of the 2006-07 season. And in classic Torrey Mitchell fashion, he picked up where he left off at in college. In the last 11 regular season games, he scored 7 points (2 goals, 5 assists), picked up 27 penalty minutes and was a plus-7. Though the ‘A’ Sharks made a quick exit in thetight). But with my youngest being a tiny teething terror at a young age, I reached out to Vulli, who makes Sophie la girafe, to collaborate with Burrito Buzz on a review. They were sweet enough to send us a gift set with a Sophie la girafe for my youngest and flash cards for my oldest

As soon as I opened Sophie and washed her, I handed her to my almost five month old and she immediately snatched her by the leg and starting gnawing on her head. Sophie was so easy for her to handle and actually keep a hold of. The way the giraffe is shaped, with its long neck and legs, it allows for little hands to grab any part of it and bring it to

ST. MARYS — An Indiana man, wanted for child molestation
charges in that state, kept local law enforcement officers at
bay for an hour this morning as he held a knife to his throat
along westbound U.S. 33 near St. Marys.
Ricky Eugene Gunter, 47, of Camden, Ind., surrendered to officers
at 7:28 a.m. and was transported to Joint Township District
Memorial Hospital, St. Marys, for observation. No injuries were
reported.
Gunter told officers he had overdosed on heart medication and
required medical attention, according to Sgt. Rick Swayer, a
public information officer for the Ohio State Highway Patrol
in Columbus.
The incident began when a motor carrier enforcement unit from
the Wapakoneta post of the Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSHP)
attempted to pull Gunter over for a lighting violation as the
semitrailer traveled westbound on U.S. 33 at Ohio 116. The motor
carrierofficer found some discrepancies in the trucker’s
log book, discussed it with the driver and subsequently ran
a check of his operator’s license through Indiana and
Ohio.
“It was at that point, the man barricaded himself in the
truck’s cab and held a knife to his throat,” Swayer
said, adding that he only threatened himself and not the officers.
At least seven OSHP officers and three officers from St. Marys
Police Department immediately arrived at the scene to assist.
Early morning traffic was rerouted as officers closed the busy
four-lane highway for more than an hour.
A mediator from the St. Marys Police Department was called in
and spoke to Gunter who surrendered without incident a short
time later, Swayer said.
No charges were filed against him at press time today, although
he is being held on a warrant for failure to appear

Michael Vaughan stars at 31st cricket dinner

More than 285 guests were entertained by former England cricket captain Michael Vaughan at the 31st staging of Swardeston’s annual cricket dinner.

The dinner was also the first to be sponsored by Breakwater IT.

Breakwater’s Managing Director John Gostling said: “We were delighted with the way the evening went and thought Michael Vaughan was an excellent speaker.”

Vaughan captained England in 51 tests between 2003 and 2008, winning 26 (a national record) and losing 11; England won all 7 home tests of the 2004 summer under Vaughan, and the pinnacle of his captaincy career came with a 2-1 victory in the 2005 Ashes, England’s first Ashes victory since 1986/87.

improves efficiency. Such rectangular wire core designs are said to improve xe2x80x9cslot space utilizationxe2x80x9d.
Although rectangular cross section wire for the stator core assembly provides the previously noted benefits, its use produces a number of design challenges. Rectangular cross section wire is more difficult to form and wind into the stator winding slots, since it is necessary to align the cross section to the slot dimensions.
Since the stator conductors are laced from the two axial ends of the stator core, they are looped at their ends to pass into the next appropriate winding slot. It is desirable to reduce the length or height of these end turns as a means of reducing the total length and therefore the internal resistance of the conductors.
Designers of stator assemblies further attempt toall the characters and the dark humour which characterises the film – the band manager casually tells Jon how he was sent to a mental hospital due to his sexual preference for mannequins. It’s Jon’s typical British awkwardness which makes him the perfect counterpoint to all the bizarre goings-on – he replies to this revelation by clumsily changing the subject to the boat setting off.

As work on the album progresses, Jon blogs about his experiences and begins to promote the band online – and Frank gives us one of the better uses of social media in film I’ve seen. Rather than being at all gimmicky, the integrated tweets and tumblr posts are funny, tonally fitting, and even develop the plot.

Noah was reacting to clips in which Facebook General Counsel Colin Stretch admitted the company should have been more alert to Russia's efforts.

"So would you guys let Hitler buy ads on Facebook?" Noah said, imitating the back-and-forth between Stretch and members of the Senate. "Well, I mean, how else will he reach his fans in Charlottesville?"

Noah charged that Facebook "loves money so much that they are not willing to put a limit on who they take it from."

opportunity to show our patriotism and wave "Old Glory"! Today is Flag Day!The following are a few fun facts that I found about this non-holiday celebration. So fly the flag, wear the red, white, and blue, and be proud of the principles that on which this great nation was founded. Have a great Flag Day.

On June 14, 1777, the Continental Congress approved the design of a national flag.

Since 1916, when President Woodrow Wilson issued a presidential proclamation establishing a national Flag Day on June 14, Americans have commemorated the adoption of the Stars and Stripes by celebrating June 14 as Flag Day. Prior to 1916, many localities and a few states had been celebrating the day for years. Congressional legislation designating that date as the national Flag Daywas signed into law by President Harry Truman in 1949; the legislation also called upon the president to issue a flag day proclamation every year.

According to legend, in 1776, George Washington commissioned Philadelphia seamstress Betsy Ross to create a flag for the new nation. Scholars debate this legend, but agree that Mrs. Ross most likely knew Washington and sewed flags. To date, there have been twenty-seven official versions of the flag, but the arrangement of the stars varied according to the flag-makers' preferences until 1912 when President Taft standardized the then-new flag's forty-eight stars into six rows of eight. The forty-nine-star flag (1959-60), as well as the fifty-star flag, also have standardized star patterns. The current version of the flag dates to July 4, 1960, after Hawaii became

The flag is normally flown from sunrise to sunset.

In the morning, raise the flag briskly. At sunset, lower it slowly. Always, raise and lower it ceremoniously.

The flag should not be flown at night without a light on it.

The flag should not be flown in the rain or inclement weather.

After a tragedy or death, the flag is flown at half staff for 30 days. It's called "half staff" on land ,and "half mast" on a ship.

When flown vertically on a pole, the stars and blue field , or "union", is at the top and at the endTo understand Dalglish's heroic response to the Hillsborough Disaster, to appreciate why he took it upon himself to carry a club and a city until eventually he broke under the strain, one has to recognise his passion for the family, for his wife Marina and their four children and also for his footballing family, Liverpool FC.

This photograph was taken after a pair of perfectly straight contrails become distorted and twisted, and eventually broke into isolated rings. The initial contrails didn't result from exhaust contrails as would commonly be observed from high altitude aircraft. Nor were they vortex contrails as sometimes are seen from the wingtips of a plane, typically at high humidity and low altitude. Rather, they seem to be a hybrid of the two -- wingtip vortices interacting with exhaust contrail to produce a pair of very crisp contrails.

Subsequently, instabilities in the vortices, known after their discoverer as Crow Instabilities, cause them to interact, and ultimately to join. This has the effect of breaking up the long contrail pairs whereby they link up with their partner, creatingJonathan and Sandy are roommates in the university. Each one of them has
a different behavior and experience with women: Jonathan is cynical,
malicious, and selfish. He does not respect anybody (even his best
friend is not respected) and just want to have sex. Women are objects
for him. Sandy is almost the opposite of Jonathan and has a different
approach with women: he is shy, sensitive and respectful; he does not
have much experience with women. Sandy dates Susan but Jonathan gives a
pass on her in the beginning of a triangle of love. A few years later,
Susan is married with Sandy, and Jonathan and Sandy are successful in
their professions and boring with their mates. Now, Jonathan has a
relationship with the sexy Bobbie. As years goes by, the two friends
have affairs with different women


The Tennessee General Assembly gathered for its second day of session Wednesday morning, conducting brief business and without debate electing two state constitutional officers.

Members of the legislature met for a joint convention Wednesday morning to vote for a state comptroller of the treasury and state treasurer, reelecting Tennessee's existing officers to their posts.

The House of Representatives and Senate jointly voted for Justin Wilson to continue as comptroller and David Lillard Jr. as treasurer. Both are elected by the General Assembly to two-year terms and were first appointed in 2009.

As treasurer, Lillard oversees state investments, such as the pension fund, and manages state employee benefit programs, like the retirement system.

An ABC spokesman confirmed that Clarke died on Sunday while hiking in the Grampians National Park in Victoria. He died from natural causes.

The New Zealand-born comedian and writer regularly appeared on Australian television from the late 1970s onwards.

Along with Bryan Dawe, he became a household name after writing and performing satirical interviews on Channel Nine's A Current Affair and later the ABC's 7.30 program, mocking everyone from Paul Keating to George Bush.

Sen. Paul’s horrible book sales are an indication that the end is near for his presidential campaign. Paul is widely expected to stay in the Republican race through the Kentucky caucus. Paul got state Republicans to switch from a primary to a caucus by offering to pay for the change.

characterised by a reluctance to enter into permanent alliances or commitments with other Great Powers. Often assumed to apply to the latter part of the 19th century, some historians argue it originated when Britain withdrew from the post-1815 Concert of Europe after the 1822 Congress of Verona. This decision was made by George Canning, whose principles dominated British foreign policy for decades and were summarised by historian Harold Temperley as follows:

For much of the nineteenth century, Britain sought to maintain the existing balance of power in Europe, while protecting trade routes to its colonies and dominions, especially those connecting to British India through the Suez Canal. In 1866, the Foreign Secretary Lord Derby explained this policy as follows:

<blockquote>It is the duty of the Government of this country, placedlandscape at the beginning of a new year seems poised for the rise of a third-party option. Yet no challenger has emerged.

Instead, the Liberal Democrats, under the leadership of Vince Cable, have seemingly decided to dig in their heels in the past. Whilst Labour champion socio-economic revolution and the Conservatives espouse solidarity in the face of Brexit, Cable has dug his party into the trench of Brexit opposition, with numerous calls to reverse the referendum result and oppose British withdrawal from the EU. It is a message that does not resonate with the current political mood. According to ICM polling data, the approval ratings of the Liberal Democrats have fallen from 11% to a mere 7% since Vince Cable took control of the party, with the trend indicative


of such a decline continuing.

In order to modernise and retain political legitimacy, there are three key areas that the party must address; the stagnant image of the party in the eyes of the electorate, their policy on the European question, and their electoral strategy in regards to attracting new support from swing electoral demographics.

The primary issue of the Liberal Democrats is their inability to shake the woes of the Cameron-Clegg coalition. The image of the party has been tarnished significantly since Clegg became Deputy PM in 2010, with large proportions of the electorate still unforgiving of Clegg – and in turn the party – for their failure to prevent the rise in tuition fees in 2012. Similarly, Tim Farron, though partially successful in rebuilding the image of theparty prior to the 2017 election, was mired by allegations of Homophobia and intolerance that contributed towards his resignation following the election. Vince Cable himself, despite efforts to rebuild the party, has been unable to shake the image of the party as ineffectual and intolerant, created by the failures of Clegg and Farron.

By no means should this failure detract from Cable’s skill as a politician. He is a politician with a strong personal image, able to both convey the political message of the party and appeal to voters with skill, and his time as Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills demonstrated his ministerial capacity. However many may see his sell off of the Royal Mail as incompetent and unwise. Yet Cable can be seen as the


epitome of the era of inefficacy for the Liberal Democrats; a key figure in a party that for years was both ineffective and unable to revitalise its image. To have Cable’s stewardship continue would be to continue to perpetuate the ineffective image of the party that has lead to both stagnation of action, and the gradual decline towards political irrelevancy that comprehensively characterises the party in the current political climate.

Instead, the party should seek to revitalise their image with an injection of youth and modernity. Rising stars of the party, notably figures such as Layla Moran and Jo Swinson, should be pushed to the forefront of the party, with emphasis placed on revitalising both the figures and image of the party. The change of logo to the risingphoenix prior to 2010 signified that the party was revitalised and ready to provide a third option at the time; now seems to be yet another instance the party must rise above the ashes they sink towards.

In the wake of public division following the referendum, the Liberal Democrats effectively capitalised on the Anti-Isolationist sentiments of the British electorate, carving themselves out as the champions of Europe and staunch opponents of Brexit. Indeed, popular support for the party rose from 7% to 11% by the time of the 2017 election; a figure that should not be understated, especially given the significant resurgence of the Labour party under Corbyn. Such a move capitalised significantly upon the going discontent for British withdrawal from the EU, and attacks on the incapacity of


the Conservatives to organise their Brexit strategy compounded these political gains further. It was a political strategy perfect for the political climate at the time.

However, public sentiments in politics are constantly changing. There is now a growing consensus amongst the British people that Brexit, whether good or bad, really does mean Brexit. Yet the Liberal Democrats, rather than adapt their position on the question of European withdrawal, continue to espouse the same rhetoric as they did in the immediate aftermath of the referendum; a rhetoric that no longer resonates with the sentiments of the British people.

Brexit really does mean Brexit; but no party has truly carved out a position as the watchdogs of Brexit.

The president of Chad, Idriss Deby, announced on Friday that Chadian troops, who are part of a larger African force fighting in northern Mali, have killed one of al-Qaeda's leading commanders in that country.

Deby's spokesman said that he announced Abdelhamid Abou Zeid's death during a ceremony on Friday for Chadian soldiers killed in fighting in Mali. Abou Zeid is the Algerian leader of al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).

His death, which could not immediately be verified, would be a major blow to the group and to its growing influence in North Africa.

Officials in Mali and in France, which is leading an international military intervention in Mali against fighters linked to AQIM, could not confirm reports of Abou Zeid's death.

The spokesman insisted on anonymity because he was not authorisedto speak ahead of an announcement on state television on the matter. He gave no further details.

The French military moved into Mali on January 11 to push back al-Qaeda-linked fighters who had imposed strict Islamic rule in the north. They seized power there after a military coup last year, and had started moving south towards the capital, Bamako.

France is trying to rally other African troops to help in the military campaign, since Mali's military is weak and poorly-equipped. Chadian troops have offered the most robust reinforcements.

For the past 10 days, French military, along with Chadian forces, have been locked in a weeklong battle against the fighters in the Adrar des Ifoghas mountains of northern Mali, fighting which has left scores dead.

France refuses to comment

A French presidential aide said


kidnapped a Frenchman, released in February 2010, and another who was executed that July. He has also been linked to the execution of a British hostage in 2009.

There is uncertainty about his real name: Along with his nom de guerre, Abou Zeid had an alias, Mosab Abdelouadoud, and nicknames, the emir of the south and the little emir, due to his diminutive size.New report indicates positive trend as regards lethal terror attacks, but reality is more complex.

There is positive news in the latest edition of “Global Terrorism Index 2018”. The number of people dying in terrorist attacks is falling. In 2017, the number of deaths due to terror attacks world wide dropped by 27 percent, since 2016. The largest shift was in Iraq, which saw 5,000 fewer deaths. Even Syria, with its active amalgam of traditional civil war and terror activities, saw far fewer deaths.

The changes in Iraq and Syria are largely attributed to the increasingly limited territory that the Islamic State, IS, controls and that its number of active adherents have been pushed to a new low, with its combatant numbers believed to have been cut in half. At


the same time, the report specifies that the group is expected to continue as the single most deadly terror group for the foreseeable future.

Another attributing factor is the radically shifting security and political landscape throughout Europe, where the number of deaths due to terrorist attacks have decreased by 75 percent. A more politically supported set of security implementations, such as more aggressive Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) monitoring operations and increased cooperation between civilian and military intelligence agencies throughout Europe; these efforts appear to be successful, preventing coordinated attacks by I.S.

The one place that is seeing a directly disadvantageous development is Afghanistan, where the majority of the registered deaths due to terror attacks were during 2017. At the same time, the deadliest attack of 2017 was the Al-Shabaab-orchestrated truck bombattack in Mogadishu on October 14th, 2017. That attack resulted in at least 587 people and injured 316. The target was a secure compound housing international agencies and troops located by the crossroads near the Safari Hotel in the Hodan District, at least a kilometre from the Medina Gate.

[Global Terrorism Index 2018]

The report further on identifies a number of concerns, inter alia, that terror groups are quickly morphing to face the increasingly hostile and capable security community across the world. In part, the terror groups’ response is returning to their roots as increasingly mobile operative cells with less focus on individual leadership and more on overarching geo-strategic goals. For instance, the Islamic State operating with such ferocity in the Philippines has little in common with the Islamic State


Europeans’. (Undercover – Inside Britain’s New Far Right)

The report also states that the number of deaths in relation to attacks from right-wing extremists, particularly of the White Power variety, have increased from only three in 2014 to seventeen in 2017. During 2017, White Power groups carried out 59 attacks, the majority of which were perpetrated by so-called lonewolf actors. As an example, the Charlottesville car attack on August 12th, 2017 resulted in one death and 28 fatalities.

Image from a previous era of domestic terror: Francist Party members in Paris on February 13, 1934, marching past the funeral for Cheynar De Noblens, who was killed during street fighting during the February 6th Crisis.

Considering the nationalistic political tendencies that are presently being seen across the Western world, it appears likelythat we will continue to see an ascendingly turbulent domestic security landscape not from external tactical threats, but from the local population.

The pendulum continues to swing.

The West Virginia Mountaineers pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the college football season Saturday, beating then-No. 11 Oklahoma State 30-21 after entering the game as a nearly three-touchdown underdog.

As is expected in Morgantown, the fans went absolutely nuts after the victory. How nuts? Well, they reportedly started 10 fires and flipped a car.

No injuries have been reported and the AP says only one person has been cited for malicious burning.

West Virginia has a reputation for burning couches after big football games -- no matter the result -- and it got to the point where the student government released a PSA kindly urging students to stop, you know, setting furniture on fire.

The Mountaineers' next two games are against ranked opponents -- at Baylor and at homeJERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) -- Donald Trump has added 10 names to the list he says he'd use to fill Supreme Court vacancies if he becomes president.

The announcement of the new names Friday, three days before the first presidential debate, appears to be another attempt by the Republican nominee to solidify support among conservatives still reticent about his candidacy. Among those added: conservative Utah Sen. Mike Lee, a close friend of former Trump rival Ted Cruz. Both have yet to endorse Trump.

The list adds several minority judges to Trump's previously all-white list, including Venezuelan-born Federico Moreno, a 64-year-old judge of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The list also includes an African American judge, a South-Asian judge and a female judge who served in


the Marines.

In May, Trump unveiled his original list of 11 federal and state court judges as potential replacements for the late Justice Antonin Scalia. At the time, he was trying to rally conservatives and clinch the nomination.

He and his allies have repeatedly cited control of the Supreme Court as a top reason why Republican skeptics should rally around his candidacy.

"We have a very clear choice in this election. The freedoms we cherish and the constitutional values and principles our country was founded on are in jeopardy," Trump said in a statement.

Trump has sometimes varied in his descriptions of the names - at times suggesting they would serve more as a guide to the kinds of judges he'd select rather than a definitive list.

But on Friday, Trump assured thenames were set. "This list is definitive and I will choose only from it in picking future justices of the United States Supreme Court," he stated.

Lee's inclusion is seen by some as part of an effort to woo Cruz, one of Trump's most high-profile holdouts. Lee is a Utah Republican who serves on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Lee responded with a statement: "The Supreme Court is very important and I appreciate being considered. Right now I'm focused on my job in the Senate, where I'm in a good position to defend the Constitution by fighting against government overreach," he said.

Lee is the second member of his family to appear on Trump's wish list. His brother, Thomas, who has served as a justice on Utah's Supreme Court since 2010, was


on the original list.

"While my brother and I might disagree as to which list is better, they're both great," the senator joked.

Moreno is the only Latino judge on Trump's list. He was appointed to the Florida court by President George H.W. Bush.

Also on the list:

-Charles Canady, a justice of the Florida Supreme Court. A former Florida Congressman, Canady was the prime sponsor of the first congressional effort to ban the procedure abortion opponents call "partial-birth abortion." He also served as general counsel to former Florida governor and Trump rival Jeb Bush, according to a biography from the conservative Federalist Society think tank.

-Timothy Tymkovich, chief judge of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. Tymkovich formerly served as Solicitor General in Colorado, where he argued several cases in front ofthe Supreme Court. Among them: Colorado's failed bid to preclude the state from providing legal protections for gays and lesbians.

-Amul Thapar, a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky. Thapar, who is of South Asian descent, has also served as an assistant U.S. Attorney in Washington and in the Southern District.

-Robert Young, chief justice of the Michigan Supreme Court. The only African American judge on Trump's list, Young previously served as a judge on the Michigan Court of Appeals.

-Keith Blackwell, a justice of the Georgia Supreme Court. Blackwell previously served on the Georgia Court of Appeals and as deputy special attorney general in the state.

-Neil Gorsuch, a judge of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. Gorsuch previously served in the Justice Department as


a deputy assistant attorney general.

-Margaret Ryan, a judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces. The only woman added to Trump's list, Ryan is a Marine Corps veteran who was deployed to Philippines during an uprising and to Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War.

-Edward Mansfield, a justice of the Iowa Supreme Court. Mansfield previously served as a judge on the Iowa Court of Appeals.

The haunting of the Dolphin Hotel

Columnist: Keith Pattison de Bellasis Posted on Sunday, 27 April, 2014 | 6 comments Columnist:

Article Copyright© Keith Pattison de Bellasis - reproduced with permission.

Not one, but at least 6 otherworldly spectres from different ages are widely believed to be haunting the medieval Dolphin Hotel situated on the High Street of the old quarter of Southampton in Hampshire, England.The Dolphin Hotel dates back to at least the 13th Century, with other parts reputed to date back to the 11th or 12th centuries. It was originally built for a rich merchant and then later converted to a tavern and coaching inn. Now a 4 star hotel, the list of previous landlords proudly hangs in the hotel lobby stretching back to 1432.Beneath the


oldest part of the Dolphin Hotel, stalking the medieval vaults built during the early 13th century, are two ghosts. The first is an older man known as ‘Tom’ who, from the clothes he is described as wearing, was possibly a cellarman who tended the barrels of wine that have been stored there since the time the hotel was a Merchant building ( Southampton being the historic centre for imported wines from France ). Accompanying Tom in all reports is a young lad, who remains nameless, but could have been an indentured apprentice learning his trade.Could they have been victims of the Black Death that struck down 50% of the population in medieval England, as testified by the many plague pits around Southampton and throughout Hampshire ? Was theDolphin Hotel the place where they finally succumbed to this most dreaded of curses whilst tending to the barrels in the vaults ?A somewhat corpulent gentleman described as wearing Georgian attire known as “Beau” has been reported since at least 1750 staring out of the large bay windows of the first floor assembly rooms. The rooms’ greatest claim to fame is that the renowned author Jane Austen celebrated her 18th birthday there. Although the earliest reported sighting of “Beau” pre-dates Jane Austen by some decades, it is possible that he was also attending a soiree when he was taken by some unrecorded ailment and died there. Of interest to the curious is that this phantom is often observed from the street outside of the hotel, looking out of


the windows with a sad demeanour in his eyes as though he has been waiting down the centuries for a loved one to arrive.Molly has been seen by many people over the years, but a notable sighting was made by an American Serviceman in the mid 1990s who unnervingly saw her top half gliding across his room in the new building (her lower half presumably being below the floor).Molly was a chamber maid and like many servants would have lived in the hotel. She fell in love but that love was spurned leading her to take her own life in the old stable block of the inn.To explain the fact that only her top half was visible it is noted that there were extensive alterations to the hotelin 1890 which saw the old stabling block demolished and replaced with new bedroom accommodations with higher ceilings than the stabling block in which she took her life.Seen gliding through the first floor bedroom corridor since the latter half of the 19th century, a woman described as wearing Victorian dress is the ghost that has most often been reported by hotel guests and employees alike. Most recently in June 2004, she was seen and ‘felt’ by Kerry James, then the hotel’s marketing manager, wearing ribbons in her hair. Why does she haunt the Dolphin Hotel ? Was it her last place of sojourn in England before taking one of the many transatlantic liners to the New World or beyond?This ghost has never been sighted but makes itself known

Dagestani experts are sounding the alarm about a rise in ethnic tensions in the republic. Some analysts see Dagestan’s current governor, Ramazan Abdulatipov, as the culprit in the rising tensions because the republic’s Avar majority is receiving preferential treatment. The irony is that Moscow has long considered Abdulatipov to be an expert on ethnic issues in the Russian Federation.

Abdulatipov’s career was tightly tied to inter-ethnic relations, which were always closely monitored in the Soviet Union. In 1988, Abdulatipov moved to Moscow from Dagestan and became a consultant with the Department for Ethnic Relations at the Soviet Communist Party’s Central Committee. Abdulatipov was then elected to lead the Nationalities Council of the Supreme Council of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic


(RSFSR). In 1997, Abdulatipov became Russia’s deputy prime minister for nationalities affairs. Abdulatipov’s career in the Russian federal government rose further the following year, when he was appointed minister for nationalities policies. However, soon after Vladimir Putin came to power, Abdulatipov’s career tumbled as Moscow opted to use crude force to subdue the North Caucasus and, at the same time, excluded the North Caucasians from power at the federal level (Onkavkaz.com, December 10).

Abdulatipov’s triumphant return to politics took place in 2013, albeit at the regional level, when Moscow unexpectedly sent him to govern his native Dagestan. However, soon after his appointment, relations among Dagestan’s myriad ethnic groups started to deteriorate, with land disputes between Kumyks, Avars and Laks in the republic’s lowlands becoming particularly sharp.

Missing autistic girl was San Francisco resident who attended Sunset Elementary School

Tools

The young autistic girl found dead Wednesday near her family’s Lake County vacation home was a student at Sunset Elementary School in San Francisco.

Mikaela Lynch, 9, was last seen Sunday in the backyard of the Clearlake home. She was reported missing after walking away from the backyard, where she had been playing with her brother.

Following a massive search that included teachers and other volunteers from her 41st Avenue school in San Francisco, which offers a special program specifically for children with autism, she was found dead by a police dive team in a muddy Cache Creek about noon Wednesday.

She had an affinity for water, authorities said, but the mental capacity of an infant.

Rough ground, Ben Inverveigh

Although both the hills are only around 650m high they offer pretty rough walking on generally pathless slopes of grass, heather and rock. This circuit over the two hills with the steep descent and re-ascent of just under 150 m makes for a good walk. This time however, we decided to park the car at the Bridge of Orchy and walk the few kilometres along the West Highland Way to reach the start of the long broad ridge of Ben Inverveigh. It means a slightly longer day but makes for a pleasant easy start and finish with the added advantage that at the end of the day, you are


Every shiva is hard, but some are harder than others.

Recently, I went to the second kind of shiva: the shiva for our friend who was tragically, oh-my-God-shockingly, killed in a cycling accident at the age of 36. He was healthy and happy; he had a wife whom he adored and four small children whom he loved. He was an excellent specialist paediatric ophthalmologist who helped children on a daily basis. He had a long, productive, joyous life ahead of him. Except that now, he didn’t.

It was hard to believe that he was gone. Hard to believe that life could be ended so suddenly and so finally. Harder, far harder to attend his funeral, to pay a shiva visit to his widowed wife, his fatherless children, his siblings, hisCimrman v říši hudby

Workshops

Milan Svoboda is often invited as a music instructor to teach at various jazz workshops, mainly abroad. In the 1980s he taught for several consecutive years at the Jazz workshop in Frýdlant, Czech Republic, where he also founded the popular Contraband Jazz Orchestra in 1988. Together with Jiří Stivín Svoboda gave a workshop at the Leverkusen Jazz Days festival in Germany in 1987. After the year 2000 Svoboda received numerous invitations to teach mostly big band workshops in Germany, for example in Reklinghausen (2003), Wangen and Chemnitz (2004), Musikhochschule Dresden (2005) and Iserlohn (2006 and 2012).

In 2004, 2007, 2010 and 2017 he worked with the Jugend-Jazzorchester Sachsen and gave a big band workshop together with other instructors


- colleagues from his Prague Big Band. With the JJO Sachsen Svoboda rehearsed a full-length program each time which consisted mostly of his compositions and which was played at several ensuing concerts. With this project Svoboda recorded a CD "Jazzwelten".

Svoboda also regularly cooperates with the East West European Jazz Orchestra in Dortmund, Germany, producing several concert projects and performing them at festivals in Coesfeld, Germany (2007), Dortmund, Germany (2010) and Rostov on Don, Russia (2013). In 2009 Svoboda was invited to Cyprus to create a combined project with the Cyprus Big Band joined by his Quartet in Nicosia and Limassol. Recently Svoboda has been collaborating with the Jazz Akademie Dortmund. In 2013 he took part in a combined workshop of his Prague J.J. Conservatory Jazz Orchestra alongside theGlen Buschmann Jazz Akademie Big Band. Both big bands then played together in Dortmund, Hamm, Iserlohn and in Prague. In August 2014 Milan Svoboda was member of the music instructor team at a workshop at the Kunstsommer festival in Arnsberg, Germany.

Jazz workshops that Milan Svoboda conducts are mostly focused on jazz big band training and music theory (improvisation theory and modern jazz harmony).


said UNAIDS Executive Director Michel Sidibé. "Never before in the history of AIDS have we reached a moment where we are able to stand up and say with conviction the end of AIDS is in sight."

"The gulf between treatment and prevention has ended," he added. "The divide between health and AIDS has narrowed, as AIDS comes out of isolation and into integrated and holistic health services."

Funding in Decline

In the face of contracting budgets worldwide, UNAIDS has developed a new framework for making the most of limited funds, directing investments to "high-impact, evidence-based, high-value strategies." The agency estimates that this approach could prevent at least 12 million new HIV infections and more than 7 million AIDS-related deaths between 2011 and 2020. A key element of the framework is itsglobal resource requirements should peak in 2015 and then gradually decline.

But donor funding for HIV/AIDS decreased by 10% during 2010, and the global economic crisis portends further reductions.

The same week the UNAIDS report was released, the Global Fund to Fight HIV, Tuberculosis and Malaria announced the cancellation of its next round of grants due to budget shortfalls. The Fund covers about half the cost of antiretroviral therapy for resource-limited countries, as well as prevention programs.

"This financial blow to the Global Fund comes at the worst possible time in the HIV response," said International AIDS Society President Elly Katabira. "Just as UNAIDS is reporting that new cases of HIV are starting to decline, and as we are seeing that the effective and early treatment of people living with HIV


but scale-up will not be possible. Upper-middle-income countries such as Argentina, Brazil, China, Mexico, and Russia will no longer be eligible for funding.

"It is deeply worrisome that inadvertently, the millions of people fighting with deadly diseases are in danger of paying the price for the global financial crisis," said Global Fund Executive Director Michel Kazatchkine. "There are millions of people dependent on Global Fund resources to stay alive and healthy, and the Global Fund will redouble its efforts to increase the available funding to continue to scale up HIV, TB and malaria interventions."

The rock star cliché for a band headed to South by Southwest is a handful of gnarly dudes piling into a beater van and setting the GPS for Austin, Texas. But for New York singer/songwriter Laura Stevenson and the four guys in her indie-folk band, the reality is less fart jokes and drug-addled misadventure and more baked goods and early mornings.

What Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s Movie About Porn Addiction is Really About

Joseph Gordon-Levitt made a movie about pornthe World’s Longest Chain of Barrel Monkeys

When software engineer (and former captain of the Dartmouth Hacker Club) Parker Phinney was a 8th grade math student in New Hampshire almost a decade ago, he calculated that 10,000 of those little plastic barrel monkeys, linked little plastic arm to little plastic arm, would stretch to a height of 200 stories. Now 23, he recently turned the thought exercise into a reality last year, and broke the Guinness World Record for the longest chain of barrel monkeys.

Even when he was a middle school student, however, Phinney realized there would be logistical difficulties. How could you create a 200-story chain, especially when the tallest building in the world at the time was only 163 stories? He calculated that those little plastic arms


05 June 2012

David who is starting out with a Swedish army for By Fire & Sword asked if I would demo the rules for him. So I brought my Polish-Lithuanian force and then split it roughly in half, leaving out the Winged Hussars since I had in mind doing a small clash of patrols.

The idea behind this battle would be to have it take place during the Swedish invasion of Poland during the "Deluge" 1656–1658 when Sweden's king Charles X marched Swedish armies up and down the country, being so successfull that many of the nobility switched sides and joined the Swedes for a period.

So in this game we had a small patrol of "loyalist" troops (1 Pancerni, 2 cossack style cavalry and 1 dragoon company) coming acrossa camp of defected troops.

The traitors were made up of 2 companies of Polish-Hungarian infantry and a Falcon 3pdr artillery piece. The traitors had sent out a patrol of their own which were due to arrive at any moment. The traitor patrol was made up of 2 companies of Volunteer cavalry and 1 company of dragoons.

We also played with open/visible orders as this was a tutorial battle of the rules and tactics.

The loyalists were really out of luck, just as they had moved into the center of the table the enemy patrol returned at the end of turn 1. Arriving at one flank.

The loyalist Pancerni cavalry started their flanking around the rocks to catch the entrenched Polish-Hungarian infantry in the flank, while the loyalist Dragoons moved forward to


dismount and engage the enemy in the camp on foot. Enemy artillery fired grapeshot slaying loyalist dragoons, and roundshot into the loyalist cossack style cavalry. This was followed by a hail of musket fire from the Polish-Hungarian troops which inflicted more casualties towards the loyalist dragoons.

Meanwhile the loyalist cossack style cavalry made a countercharge and clashed with the Volunteer cavalry, taking casualties from traitor dragoons firing at them from the side. Both cavalry units clashed and the loyalist forces took too many casualties and started withdrawing, the traitor cavalry at their heels. The whole area was degenerating into chaos as grapeshot forced the second loyalist cossack style cavalry company to break away, while both the loyalist Dragoons and traitor Polish-Hungarian infantry both broke from small arms fire.

The loyalistBreaking: Ronaldo Accused Of Sexual Assault By Second Woman

The lawyer representing a teacher who claims she was raped by Cristiano Ronaldo has told The Mail on Sunday that he has been contacted by another women alleging she also was sexually assaulted by the footballer.

Leslie Stovall, who is acting for former model Kathryn Mayorga, who made the first accusation, said: ‘I have had a call from a woman who claims to have had a similar experience.’

He declined to name the American woman, but said he would hand her details to Las Vegas police who have reopened the 2009 case of alleged rape brought by Ms Mayorga.

Juventus star Ronaldo, 33, who previously played for Manchester United and Real Madrid, has strenuously denied all allegations of rape and sexual assault. He


last week described Ms Mayorga’s accusation as ‘fake news’, adding in a tweet: ‘Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in.’

The allegations threaten a string of lucrative sponsorship and marketing deals – and Ronaldo’s freedom.

Nike, with whom he has a reported $1 billion lifetime deal, last week said it was ‘deeply concerned’. The sportswear giant’s shares fell when the rape allegation became public.

Ms Mayorga, 34, met the footballer in a nightclub in June 2009. She claims he invited her to his penthouse suite at the Palms Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas and raped her.

She reported the attack to police, but the investigation was abandoned and Ms Mayorga reached a £287,000 settlement with Ronaldo in 2010 in exchange for her silence.

exterior walls having a relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion, in the winter months when the interior of the building is heated to approximately 75 degrees and the external temperature drops to subzero temperatures, a situation of high thermal stress between the building frame and the exterior walls occurs. In this case, the result might be that the panels of the exterior walls are pulled apart and gaps form in the exterior panels of the building due to the relative expansion of the frame with respect to the relative contraction of the outer panels. This will produce gaps in the panels allowing the cold air and moisture to intrude into the space between the internal and external walls, with concomitant problems associated therewith.

The stone plaque was discovered in a cellar below the most revered part of the Great Synagogue of Vilnius, Lithuania’s major Jewish shrine before it was destroyed by Nazi and Soviet regimes.

“In 1776 we went up with joy to our country (Eretz Israel),” reads part of the inscription.

Obama: Back to Guantanamo (updated)

In a major policy reversal Monday, the Obama administration announced it will try accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed before a military tribunal at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, not in federal court in New York City.

The issue has pitted several competing agendas since before the 2008 presidential election. From a practical standpoint, politicians in New York said a civilian trial in New York City, where the attacks took place, would make the city a heightened target for terrorism. Others said the concern applied pretty much anywhere. In New York, at least, there was bipartisan approval, of a sort. Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer praised Obama, while Republican Rep. Peter King said it was the right decision but took the opportunity to chide Holder forJafar Mann to check out Florida

As a junior, Jafar Mann (Stone Mountain, Ga./Stephenson) was a two-way standout who rarely got a down off.

"He started for us at offensive tackle and defensive tackle," said Stephenson coach Ron Gartrell. "I think he played more snaps for us than anyone and by the end of the season he was just worn down. He showed some flashes though. Jafar is a terrific defensive tackle. He's athletic and can play the three technique better than the one. He can chase the ball and gets a good push."

The 6-foot-4, 280-pounder will be a three-year starter for the Jaguars and finished last year with 45 tackles and six sacks.


A taxi driver is recovering after being assaulted and robbed by four passengers in Dartmouth, N.S. early Saturday morning.

Halifax Regional Police officers responded to a call at the corner of Primrose Street and Victoria Road at about 5 a.m. from a passerby who came across the incident.

Police said in a news release the driver had picked up the four young men, all approximately 17 or 18 years old, in Halifax.

When he stopped the car in Dartmouth, one of the passengers initially attacked the 49-year-old man with a knife. The other three then took part in the assault.

They took some of the driver's personal items and an undisclosed amount of money before fleeing the scene.

2) The Queen SUCKS. This is the scriptwriters fault. The Queen sucks BECAUSE SHE'S A WOMAN. There's ample film tradition in this respect. In this version of Joan of Arc, Joan is not only a raving lunatic (which is historical fact) but also quite the idiot and the men around her only follow her due to their utter and complete desperation. The movie also makes an effort to appear as a farce, hence robbing Joan of Arc of as much power and historical punch as physically possible.
