200 years life expectancy in Sweden has jumped from the mid-30s to over 80, meaning that a baby born today can hope to live more than twice as long as one born in the early 19th century. The data show that today’s longest-lived human populations have a similar 40- to 50-year advantage over people who live traditional lifestyles, such as the Hadza hunter-gatherers of Tanzania and the Aché people of Paraguay.

In contrast, these modern hunter-gatherers — the best lens we have into the lives of early humans — live on average just 10 to 20 years longer than wild primates such as muriquis or chimpanzees, from which human ancestors diverged millions of years ago.

Last week my toddler and I had to leave gymnastics class early. Her turn on the trampoline was complete, and she needed to move on to the balance beams. The problem? The trampoline is her favorite. So, like any normal, strong-willed two-year old, she reacted by throwing herself on the ground and screaming.

I tried to calm her down but quickly decided she was going home without the sticker each gymnast earns at the end of class. I carried my flailing toddler through the crowd of parents and found myself flustered as we made our way through the parking lot. My hair was frizzing in the Texas humidity and my high school health teacher would have described me as


we also ate the leftover chocolate chips. We go for walks, run around in the backyard, and play fetch with the dogs. She's learning so much and I don't want to miss out on a thing.

However, the opinions expressed inRabbi Ephraim Oshry served as the spiritual leader of the Kovno Ghetto during the Holocaust. Highly regarded as a scholar, he was presented with many questions about Jewish law amidst the hardships of ghetto life. Rabbi Oshry wrote the questions and answers on scraps of paper torn from concrete sacks, placed these notes into tin cans, and then buried them. These questions reflect the dilemmas faced by Jews in the Holocaust and serve as a historic record of how the Jews in the Kovno Ghetto were determined to live by Jewish law despite the inhuman, horrifying conditions.

After the liberation of Kovno in August 1944, Rabbi Oshry retrieved the hidden archive and published five volumes of responsa. A sampling of these responsa, taken from Rabbi Oshry’s Responsa From the


than the previous one. Countless new edicts were issued to confuse and frighten Jews.

One day a report spread through the ghetto that the Germans had decided to transfer a large number of people to another camp. We knew that this meant a death camp. On the heels of this rumor came a new one. A large number of ghetto prisoners were planning to escape that night to join the partisan units in the forests that were fighting a guerilla war against the Germans. At least that way they could stand up to the enemy.

The problem, however, was that the road to the forest was extremely dangerous. In addition, the ghetto was surrounded by an electrified barbed wire fence—touching it was suicidal—and watchtowers with machine-gun-armed German sentries who wereSegal came to me with the following question: He had been saved by a gentile woman who, at enormous risk to herself, had hidden him in her basement together with ten other Jews, providing them all with food and shelter until the liberation. After the war, when these Jews wanted to repay her in some way for her great compassion, they discovered to their deep sorrow that she had died right after the liberation. The idea took root in their minds to say Kaddish for her, and Reb Moshe Segal was chosen for the task. His question was, Was it permissible to say Kaddish for a gentile?

Response: Basically, Kaddish is a prayer of praise to G-d. When Rabbi Nathan of Babylonia was appointed Exilarch, the cantor used to


receive one olive-sized piece of matzo. As Pessach drew nearer, the members of this group, at the risk of their lives, managed to bake the matzos in Block C, die Kleine Werkstaten [small workshops], where bread was baked for the ghetto families. With permission from the directors of the Werkstaten, this group managed to bake all the matzos over a 10-day period after preparing the oven according to Halacha.

But the happiest of them all was Goldkorn, for he had merited the privilege of bringing the flour in, not only for himself, but for the other Jews. At that time, it was indeed a very great mitzva that Goldkorn had fulfilled—providing the means for so many people to fulfill this aspect of the holiday of freedom in according withHalacha, inspiring hope in his fellow-Jews that they might yet live to celebrate this holiday with joy after the defeat of their German enemies.

Two days before Passover, Goldkorn was returning from his labor in the evening. He was stopped by German police and searched. A small bag of flour was found on his person. When the Germans realized that a Jew, despite their strict orders to bring no food into the ghetto, had dared violate their edict, they beat him violently and viciously all along his entire body, but the worst of it was that they broke all of his teeth. Yes this Jew, throughout all of his suffering, accepted it with love for his Creator, knowing that he had made it possible for so many others to


mitzva, a mitzva for which he had risked his life. I did however instruct him to obtain permission from a beis din of three people which would annul the implicit vow of the tradition of his forbears that he had upheld all his life not to eat soaked matza on Pessach.

After we set up a beis din which annulled his “vow,” he proceeded to fulfill the mitva of eating an olive’s bulk of matza together with all the others who, thanks to him, fulfilled this mitzva. Although his whole body was aching and scarred from the vicious beating the German animals had inflicted upon him, there was no end to his joy and his thanks to G-d for granting him the privilege of eating matza despite his woundshe might not live to fulfill it if he waited to reach 13, certainly had authorization for donning tefilin. I relied on the opinions that permit a minor to don tefilin if he knows to guard them in cleanliness. This was certainly applicable to the Shereshevsky boy who had already demonstrated his fear of G-d and was a Talmud student aware and capable of maintaining the degree of bodily cleanliness required to don tefilin.

Moreover, since he was three months short of his thirteenth birthday, I relied on the prevailing custom that a boy don tefilin 2 or 3 months before his bar mitzva.

Although I had ruled that he might don the tefilin even though he was still a minor, I warned him that if he should find himself


The train veered off the tracks and smashed into a concrete wall because it did not come close to slowing down enough along a tight curve while approaching the train station in the city of Santiago de Compostela, the capital of Galicia. Video footage shows the front car coming off the rails and falling onto its side while numerous cars behind it detach and fly off toward the wall.

The incident occurred at 8:41 p.m. as the train was finishing a six-hour trip from Madrid to the popular tourist destination. Investigations are under way, and the train’s driver is being questioned by police.

People who are obese from childhood through to middle age are more than twice as likely to have difficulty with daily tasks such as lifting, climbing stairs and carrying shopping by the time they are 50, a new UCL study has found.

The study, published today in International Journal of Epidemiology, found that those who became obese in early life had more than double the risk of difficulties with such tasks than those who were never obese.

Longer duration of obesity had the most impact on risk, the study found, with those becoming obese in middle age having a smaller increase in risk. For example, men who became obese between the ages of 45 and 50 faced an increase in risk of about 50%, while for women the risk increaseaffirm in part, reverse in part, and render.

Factual and Procedural Background
This timber trespass suit involves a disputed 3.12-acre tract of land in LaSalle Parish, Louisiana. On February 22, 2001, Mr. Moffett sold the timber on the disputed tract to B & S Timber, which then contracted with David and Kenny Barker to cut and haul the timber. At the time of the sale, Mr. Moffett considered himself to be the record owner of the disputed property, believing that it was contained within a 16-acre tract that he acquired from E.E. Jones on August 27, 1955.
On April 9, 2001, Mrs. Sanders filed the present suit in which her husband, Mr. Sanders, subsequently intervened as a Plaintiff. Mrs. Sanders alleged that, on September 22, 1967, she acquired a right of


off trespassers, cut an existing fence to make a riding trail, shot hogs, hunted wood ducks, and harvested berries. He testified that he placed the property in a hunting club that posted signs and erected deer stands. He also took an interest in the property as "heritage property," searching for Indian artifacts and investigating old sites such as a mill believed to have been burned during the Civil War. According to Mr. Sanders, he has never been "run off" the property, and the only evidence of another's possession occurred when his original markings on the trees were painted over with blue-green paint. He then hired someone to apply red paint over the blue-green paint. Charles Moffett, the son of Mr. Jesse Moffett, testified that the painting over Mr.to lumber in assessing damages; and a trespasser in "good faith" was only liable for "stumpage value." With the enactment of the timber trespass statute in 1974 (originally designated as La.R.S. 15:1478.1), the legislature retained the degrees of culpability, but fixed a single measure of damages for one in moral or legal bad faith as three times the "fair market value" of the of the trees cut, felled, destroyed, removed, or diverted, a term that had not been used in the prior jurisprudence. (The legislature also added attorney fees as a penalty for one in moral bad faith.) Given that the statute introduced the additional penalties of treble damages and attorney fees in certain instances, we agree with the McConnico court's interpretation of the term "fair market value."

While Nixon famously originated the Watergate scandal, it is Hillary Clinton that has mastered the art of creating and escaping all manner of political impropriety.

In 1993 it was alleged that Hillary Clinton had orchestrated the firing of otherwise upstanding employees of the White House Travel Office to make room for political friends. The affair was dubbed "Travelgate". In 1994 it was revealed that Hillary had made a whooping 100x return on investment in cattle futures in ten months time. The event would prompt allegations of impropriety and bribery that would never be investigated. Following the Lewinsky scandal involving sexual misdeeds of her husband while President, Hillary has been accused of orchestrating the intitmadtion and harassment of women who would later accuse her husband of rape.

That is


to fix the crisis.

“It is only fair. It will lead to security, certainly for those who have been affected, and it is the kind of inclusive prosperity for which we stand as Commonwealth peoples,” he said.

The affair has undermined efforts to revive the Commonwealth and promote ‘Global Britain’ - the rebranding exercise aimed at building trade partnerships and developing a new way of projecting British ‘soft power’ worldwide as the country prepares to exit the European Union.

The so-called Windrush generation, named after one of the first ships bringing Caribbean citizens to Britain, arrived as children between 1948 and 1971 and some who cannot produce citizenship documentation are being denied healthcare, prevented from working, and even threatened with deportation.

Barbados high commissioner (ambassador) Guy Hewitt told the BBC that somecountries a seat at the table with larger states, and has huge potential to improve life for its 2.4 billion residents.

Despite a steady drumbeat of discontent over Windrush, Prime Minister May has been caught off-guard by the issue and forced into a series of apologies and admissions.

“These people are British, they are part of us,” May told parliament on Wednesday. “I want to say sorry to anyone who has had confusion or anxiety felt as a result of this.”

LeBron James' son, LeBron James Jr., is reportedly likely to enroll at Sierra Canyon School in Los Angeles, according to TMZ Sports.

Sources told TMZ Sports it's "not a done deal," but another said that "all signs point" to the 13-year-old playing his high school ball in L.A.

The report will further fuel speculation that the elder James plans to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers this offseason.

Among the players currently attending Sierra Canyon are Kenyon Martin's son, Scottie Pippen's son and Derek Fisher's nephew.

Additionally, Sierra Canyon is "holding a place" for Bronny whenever he makes his high school decision, per TMZ Sports.

Last week, OddsShark tweeted that the Lakers are the heavy favorites to sign James this offseason at 4-13. The next closest team on the list is


the Cleveland Cavaliers at 13-4.

LeBron has until Friday to decide whether to opt in to the final year of his contract and remain with the Cavs or opt out and become a free agent.

James has led the Cavaliers to four consecutive NBA Finals, but his supporting cast left plenty to be desired last season following the trade of guard Kyrie Irving to the Boston Celtics.

If LeBron signs with the Lakers, the potential is present for another superteam.

Paul George could possibly join him since L.A. has the room to sign two big-time free agents. The Lakers could also attempt to pry Kawhi Leonard away from the San Antonio Spurs via trade.

Additionally, the Lakers boast some impressive young talent in the form of Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Barron Hilton, a hotel


magnate who expanded his father’s chain and became a founding owner in the American Football League, died Thursday at his Los Angeles home. He was 91.

Hilton’s family said he died of natural causes. He transformed Hilton into the industry’s top brand during his 30 years as its chief executive. The Blackstone Group bought the international chain’s 2,800 hotels — including its famed Waldorf-Astoria — for $26 billion in 2007.

“The Hilton family mourns the loss of a remarkable man,” said Steven M. Hilton, his son and chairman of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, said in a statement. “He lived a life of great adventure and exceptional accomplishment.”

Design modifications to federal building exteriors to minimize ice/snow accumulation

Challenge

Review existing federal building sun shade design and create a new design solution for a building mounted canopy system to avoid snow and ice accumulation.

Process

SFS designers worked closely with GSA representatives in evaluating the existing sun shades, which were designed as part of a complete building renovation in 2007.

Solution

The building’s existing aluminum sun shades system, though it successfully controlled sunlight, allowed winter snow and ice to accumulate on shades and window sills and then fall, inhibiting safe passage of pedestrians below. A sun study validation exercise led to a simple modification of the existing building mounted canopy system to minimize horizontal area for snow accumulation, while still providing the benefits of the original design.

Voters approve Cameron sales tax

Cameron business owners will see an increase in their tax liability to the town after voters approved a 2 percent sales and use tax during Tuesday's special municipal election. The measure was previously voted on in November 2012 and was defeated 39-37. The two vote margin reoccurred during the latest election, only this time in favor of the tax. With a much smaller voting turnout, the measure passed 11-9.The tax, which was enacted in support of the town government and improvements approved by the Cameron board of trustees, will increase the town's income from the pervious annual average of $17,000."We can use it for what's needed such as roads," said Cameron Mayor Jason McGee. "This will help us generate the income tomeet our main goal which is to get our streets repaired." McGee said the town has been dependent in the past from the franchise fees garnered from Arkansas Oklahoma Gas and Oklahoma Gas and Electric. Now new revenue will begin to flow into the town's coffers from the sales tax levied on local businesses such as Johnson Construction, Bobo's Convenience Store, JoB cement plant as well as a diesel repair shop and a well completion company located within town limits. McGee said services provided by businesses are excluded from the tax.The use tax enacted with the new ordinance will generate revenue on items shipped or delivered to the Cameron town limits. Entities such as the school, churches and town hall will only be subject to the use tax


Typically, gas turbine engines include a compressor for compressing air, a combustor for mixing the compressed air with fuel and igniting the mixture, and a turbine blade assembly for producing power. Combustors often operate at high temperatures that may exceed 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Typical turbine combustor configurations expose turbine blade assemblies to these high temperatures. As a result, turbine blades must be made of materials capable of withstanding such high temperatures. In addition, turbine blades often contain cooling systems for prolonging the life of the blades and reducing the likelihood of failure as a result of excessive temperatures, particularly in concentrated areas of over temperature, sometimes referred to as hot spots.
Typically, turbine blades are formed from a root portion having a platform at one end and an elongatedAs musicians rediscover synthesizers, this 16-year-old makes her own

Mack Bartsch doesn’t just make electronic music: the 16-year-old DJ also makes electronic instruments. Bartsch, who goes by the stage name spaceprodigi, recently constructed a synthesizer as part of an engineering class at Moogfest, a technology and music festival in Durham, North Carolina. She owns five synthesizers in total, two of which she built herself, and her first album of electronic dance music comes out this June.

“I just find it really fun to create my own synthesizers,” Bartsch told the NewsHour’s Jeffrey Brown. “It’s just really cool to get to build it, and I enjoy soldering and electrical engineering. It’s just really fun.”

About 26,000 people attended Moogfest, named after Robert Moog, an influential inventor of an analog synthesizer, which creates


sounds by shaping electricity into waveforms using oscillators.

In the 1960s, analog synthesizers built by Moog and Donald Buchla landed in the hands of big acts making popular music, like The Beatles and Pink Floyd. Synth continued to be widely used in popular music throughout the 1980s by acts such as U2 and The Police.

WATCH: At the intersection of science and music is Moogfest, a festival that turns out hit songs composed using electricity. The sci-arts festival launched electronic music acts such as SURVIVE, best known for scoring Netflix's 'Stranger Things.'

“Suddenly, people had an instrument where they could design sounds, craft sounds, that no one in the world had ever heard before,” said Emmy Parker, the creative director of Moogfest. “Those sounds became the sound of the future.”

A fewdecades later, computers made creating music widely accessible, and synthesizers fell out of favor — until a resurgence in the last few years. Now, musicians are rediscovering the synthesizer’s ability to create unique sounds. Bartsch, a high school sophomore in Houston, says she loves the “organic feel of analog synthesizers.”

Performers using synthesizers this year at Moogfest included the indie rock band Animal Collective, Syrian wedding singer-turned pop star Omar Souleyman and SURVIVE, which was nominated for two Grammy Awards for scoring the Netflix hit “Stranger Things.”

The intersection of technology and art makes up the heart of the festival, which was previously held in New York and Asheville, North Carolina, where Moog synthesizers are manufactured. The organizers eventually settled on Durham and expanded the events beyond music to include

Aruvikkara reservoir's shutter opened

One of the six shutters of the Aruvikkara reservoir in Thiruvananthapuram has been opened to 80 cm with heavy rain lashing the catchment areas during the last two days increasing the inflow. The shutters were raised after the water level neared the permitted water storage level of 46.6 metres.

The district authorities were alerted by the Kerala Water Authority prior to raising the shutters, following which a general alert was issued for people residing on the banks of the Karamana river.

There has also been a significant flow of water to the Peppara dam in which the water level has risen to 104.1 metres. None of the fourshutters of the reservoir, which has a permitted storage level of 107.5 metres, were opened thus far.

The water level in the Neyyar dam, which has a full reservoir level of 84.75 metres, stood at 81.29 metres. All of its spillway shutters remained closed.

Joseph Thomas Pottamkulam, a businessman, had learnt to his dismay that rain had halted the train he hoped to catch to Thiruvananthapuram.

Hard-pressed to get home, he got on to twitter and sent out an appeal. “Anybody travelling from Thiruvananthapuram to Kochi today? Need a lift,” he tweeted. Soon, a Good Samaritan responded to his desperate SOS to the Twitterati and Mr. Thomas was on his way home.

feared killed in massive landslide near Nilambur

As many as 46 people were feared killed when they were buried alive in a massive landslide at Kavalappara, near Nilambur, in Malappuram district on Thursday night.

The depth of the disaster is yet to be assessed as none could clearly say how many people remain under the tonnes of mud and soil that covered the vast residential area on the fringes of a hillock.

Responding to a request of the district-level Disaster Management Authority, fishing boat owners from Beypore and Puthiyappa have kept over 100 boats ready for emergency rescue operations in Kozhikode district.

For a thorough exposition of the Roman Catholic doctrines concerning salvation, please read the article on that topic at CARM.
As for the history of relations between Catholicism and Judaism and the Roman Catholic Church's teachings, please read the Wikipedia article on that subject as a touchstone. It appears that the Catholic Church's teachings on the subject have been constant over the ages, and that Vatican II (1962 - 1965) was a turning point in the Vatican's position on the salvation of the Jews, as it was on many other doctrines. Specifically, the document titled Nostra Aetate deals with doctrines concerning the Jewish people. The


Wikipedia article, which offers a brief historical background and a few modern considerations, states:

A new understanding of the relationship between Catholics and Jews is also reflected in the revised liturgy of Good Friday in a particular way. The pre-1962 version of the Good Friday Prayer of the Roman Rite had Catholics praying that the "perfidis Judaeis" might be converted to "the truth." The English cognate "perfidious" had, over the centuries, gradually acquired the sense of "treacherous." In order to eliminate misunderstanding on this point, Pope Pius XII ordered in 1955 that, in Catholic liturgical books, the Latin word "perfidis" be properly translated "unbelieving", ensuring that the prayer be understood in its original sense: praying for the Jews who remained "unbelieving" concerning the Messiah. Indeed, the same adjective washis angels" [Matt. 25:41], unless before the end of life the same have been added to the flock; and that the unity of the ecclesiastical body is so strong that only to those remaining in it are the sacraments of the Church of benefit for salvation, and do fastings, almsgiving, and other functions of piety and exercises of Christian service produce eternal reward, and that no one, whatever almsgiving he has practiced, even if he has shed blood for the name of Christ, can be saved, unless he has remained in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church.

What is God's wish for all men?
God desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
What does the Church teach about herself and Christ as regards to men's salvation?
The Church teaches "Outside the Church there is no salvation" which re-formulated positively, means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body. [cf. CCC 846].
Therefore whoever will be saved, their salvation in the end would have been from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body.
Where does faith [in God and in his Christ] feature in men's salvation?

Boeing also said Brett Gerry, who has been president of Boeing Japan since 2016, is succeeding Luttig as general counsel.

Both changes are effective immediately.

The two executives are expected to play a central role in Boeing’s campaign to restore the trust of customers, passengers and regulators following the crashes.

Muilenburg survived calls to break up his three-pronged job as chairman, president and CEO at an annual shareholders’ meeting on Monday.

Luttig was appointed at age 37 to the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, after working as assistant counsel to former President Ronald Reagan and as a law clerk to Antonin Scalia before he joined the U.S. Supreme Court. He also served as a clerk to U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice


Warren Burger.

Among those who served as clerk for Luttig were Ted Cruz, who is now a U.S. Senator from Texas, and Joel Kaplan, now Facebook Inc’s vice president of global public policy.

Gerry, who joined Boeing in 2008, formerly served as chief of staff to the attorney general and deputy assistant attorney general in the National Security Division at the U.S. Department of Justice, and in the White House as associate counsel to the president, Boeing said.

He also worked in private practice and as a law clerk at both the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court, the company said.receptor, the toxin was named the "wasabi receptor toxin," or WaTx.

So what's so great about the wasabi receptor? For one, it's embedded in nerve endings all over the body. And when it's activated, it can trigger pain and inflammation. In fact, you can "Think of TRPA1 as the body's 'fire alarm' for chemical irritants in the environment," John Lin King, a Ph.D. student at UCSF, toldScience Daily. The wasabi receptor is also activated by cigarette smoke and environmental pollutants, causing responses like coughing fits and airway inflammation, as well as famously strong foods like mustard, ginger, and onions.

But what was most interesting about the study's results was not how the receptor worked; it was howthe wasabi receptor toxin was able to penetrate mammalian cells. Typically, substances have to

Retroviral integrase (IN) is an enzyme produced by a retrovirus (such as HIV) that integrates—forms covalent links between—its DNA (genetic information) into that of the host cell it infects. Retroviral INs are not to be confused with phage integrases (recombinases), such as λ phage integrase, as discussed in site-specific recombination.

The macromolecular complex of an IN macromolecule bound to the ends of the viral DNA ends has been referred to as the intasome; IN is a key component in this and the retroviral pre-integration complex.

Structure

All retroviral IN proteins contain three canonical domains, connected by flexible linkers:
 an N-terminal HH-CC zinc-binding domain (a three-helical bundle stabilised by coordination of a Zn(II) cation)
 a catalytic core domain (RNaseH fold)
 a C-terminal DNA-binding domain (SH3 fold).

It was portrayed as a focused card amusement where players would alternate or play with partitioned decks of cards. The thought of playing solitaire totally by one's self presumably exited individuals getting a charge out of rehearsing for focused recreations. It is generally accepted, however not genuine, that Napoleon played solitaire amid his outcast. Numerous solitaire diversions uncovered his name or the name of the island he was ousted to. Notwithstanding, Napoleon appreciated the more famous amusements of the day, for example, Whist. Anyhow by the mid-19th century, solitaire was prevalent in French society. It was likewise around that time that solitairegrabbed hold in English society. Sovereign Albert was known to play, and books of guidelines started showing up in English in the late 19th century. It wasn't until the second a large portion of the 20th century that most current types of tolerance diversions started to come to fruition. Many books portraying several diverse solitaire amusements have been distributed. In the 1980s, PCs made solitaire more famous than any time in recent memory. Since players don't have to rearrange and arrangement the cards for every last hand, diversion play has ended up more charming. What's more, the capacity to begin another amusement with just the snap of a mouse has displayed the addictive nature of these diversions.

Daniel Gibson was hand-picked by LeBron James to become the 42nd pick in 2006 NBA Draft. Coming out of Texas, James saw what Gibson could bring, a ball-handling, gutsy shot maker with lots of potential. As a second-round draft pick, the chances of sticking and staying in a location for a significant period of time is difficult. But Gibson came ready for the challenge and developed swiftly with the Cavs. Known for his three-point shooting prowess and being an instrumental part of the first Cleveland-James era, Gibson had made a name for himself. “Boobie,” as many called him, would eventually get rewarded for his efforts receiving a five-year, $21 million dollar extension with the Cavaliers in 2008.

June 18 (UPI) -- The World Health Organization has determined that "gaming disorder" is a new mental health condition.

On Monday, the U.N.'s health agency announced it will add extreme video game playing as a condition in the 11th edition of the International Classification of Diseases manual.

"The ICD is a product that WHO is truly proud of," Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO director-general, said in a press release. "It enables us to understand so much about what makes people get sick and die, and to take action to prevent suffering and save lives."

WHO said the ICD team received more than 10,000 proposed revisions for the newest edition of the document. In May 2019, ICD-11

WHO said this situation is severe enough to result in "significant impairment in personal, family, social, educational, occupational or other important areas of functioning. "

It may be continuous or episodic and recurrent, but the aspects of the disorder are usually evident for at least 12 months in order to necessitate a diagnosis.

The earliest records of the Farm are dated back to the end of the 15th century, during the Renaissance. At this time, Florence was ruled by the Medici dynasty, who, under the kingdom of Lorenzo il Magnifico, is responsible for fostering the development of the flourishing arts and culture. In this period, Florence is home to some of the greatest artists of the European Renaissance, such as Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Sandro Botticelli.

At the same time, the Capponi family, one of the most influential of Florence, built our Farm, located about 25 km from Florence in a hilly area overlooking the gentle slopes of the Chianti. From this position derives the name “Poggio Capponi”, or “Capponi Hill”, which has denoted the Farm and its surrounding lands ever


since its construction.

The farm soon revealed particularly suitable for both agricultural practice and as a holiday mansion, two functions which still maintains today. Cultivations of vines, olives and wheat flourished in the farm’s lands and the farmers who settled in continued to harvest these fields for generations.

Moreover, we can still find references to the Farm at the end of the eighteenth century in a document (the Cabreo) that describes in detail the properties of the Marquises Capponi.

Lastly, during the last century, the Farm’s activities were characterized by the traditional productive activities of the Chianti territory, which are intensely continued today.

For more than five hundred years, from the top of its promontory Poggio Capponi has overlooked its hills, woods, vineyards and olive groves, surrounded by one of the mostformed as a counter support during pressing of the piston into the syringe cylinder for application process, whether its manual or by means of a injection pump.
This gripping strip is also identified as a finger support and a cylinder gripping plate. The connection of the gripping strip with the syringe cylinder must withstand pulling out forces, up to 100 N.
There are two basic concepts for arranging the gripping strip of the syringe cylinder. In accordance with the first concept, the gripping strip is formed of one piece with the syringe cylinder during its manufacture. Because of the geometry of the plate shaped abutment which deviates from the circular form, the gripping strip during filling interferes with the syringe, and it must have a relatively great distance between the


wall, sidewalls, and top wall. Each sidewall defines a plurality of slots communicating with the cavity.
Each terminal plate includes a square-shaped plate with a pair of integral contacts depending from a lower edge of the plate. A center aperture and three rim apertures disposed around the center aperture are punched through the plate.
The metal pin is cylindrically shaped and has a rounded front end and a tapered rear end.
The bottom cover is rectangular shaped and defines a plurality of slits spaced along its lateral sides. A semi-circular trough is formed in a top side of the bottom cover.
Side edges of the terminal plates are secured in the housing with the contacts protruding from a bottom of the housing. The bottom cover is pushed upward into the housing whereit is snappingly secured by a wedge and notch arrangement. The metal pin is pressed rear end first through the opening in the front wall of the housing, and sequentially through each center aperture of each terminal plate. The arrangement of the center aperture and the rim apertures provides a resilient engagement between the metal pin and the terminal plates.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present embodiment when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.


Cadbury is facing the prospect of a black consumer boycott after it compared Naomi Campbell to a chocolate bar in a new advertising campaign.

The supermodel – hardly known for taking things in her stride – is incensed that Cadbury used her name in the strap line to promote its new chocolate bar called Bliss, accusing the company of racism. The ad says: "Move over Naomi – there is a new diva in town."

Yesterday Campbell revealed she is considering "every option available" after Cadbury, owned by the US giant Kraft, refused to pull the ad campaign, which ran in newspapers last week: "I am shocked. It's upsetting to be described as chocolate, not just for me, but for all black women and black people. I do not find anyis that while Trust 2 itself is not an ERISA plan, each individual franchisee established and maintained a separate employee welfare benefit plan and in so doing, acted indirectly in the interest of their clients, the subscribing employers. In light of the Fifth Circuit's opinion in MDPhysicians, the court rejects plaintiffs' contention in this regard.
In MDPhysicians, an independent practice association of over one hundred doctors which contracted the services of its members to health care providers, formed an entity called MDP and created the MDP Employee Benefit Plan. MDP served as the plan administrator and funded the plan through a trust established by MDP and three doctors. MDP advertised the plan to Texas employers, and more than one hundred disparate employers signed up for the MDP plan by


its clients' employees, yet the Fifth Circuit obviously did not consider this a sufficient "representational link" to deem MDP a statutory employer under ERISA; MDP's "primary interest" was not in protecting the interests of its clients' employees, but rather was "in profiting from the provision of medical and administrative services." Id. at 185. Here, too, the franchisees' "primary interest" was in profiting from the provision of their package of services and benefits to subscribing employers. That the employees, as the recipients of the insurance coverage, may have received some incidental benefit from the franchisees' efforts does not mean that the franchisees were acting in the interest of the employers, as contemplated by ERISA. In summary, therefore, in the case at bar, as in MDPhysicians, there was no relationshipappellee, Maurice Broadstreet, *696 in Putnam County, Indiana, where the action was commenced.
A plea in abatement was filed to the complaint. It was answered and a trial of that issue was had and is the basis of this appeal. The trial court, after hearing evidence, entered judgment sustaining the answer and plea in abatement.
All questions in this case relate to venue of the action. The verified plea in abatement was in two paragraphs. The first paragraph presented the fact that another action was pending in the same court and in which the complaint and parties were identical. The second paragraph alleged that the two corporate appellees were residents of and were located in Marion County, Indiana and that the individual appellee, Broadstreet, was neither agent nor employee of


either corporation. According to the second paragraph the title and the situs of such title, to the equipment involved, was in Marion County and was not in Putnam County. Also it averred that the equipment was not in Putnam County on March 7, 1963. All material facts were denied by appellant.
Appellant says the only question involved is whether the venue of an action to foreclose a mechanic's lien on equipment is in the county where the equipment is located. Appellees contend there is also involved additional questions of abatement because there were two actions pending at the same time, and also a question of fact as to whether the equipment was actually in Putnam County when the action commenced.
In connection with the pendency of two actions, appellant insistsled to passage of the STOCK (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge) Act that banned lawmakers from using inside knowledge when making personal investments.

Postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) is one of the main threats to the health of women, which makes the early detection of bone loss vital. Many studies were carried out dedicated to finding new parameters and improving the discovery rate of early stage bone loss in postmenopausal women. Periostin is a newly discovered secreted protein that has been reported to participate in the processes of many agerelated diseases including osteoporosis. But the potential of serum periostin being a predictive marker of early stage bone loss remains to be determined. Two hundred thirty-seven Chinese postmenopausal women from the patients of General Hospital of Southern Theater Command of People's Liberation Army were included as the subjects of


I have some knowledge about how the Monte Vista was run and I remember so many of the wonderful employees, if anyone wants any history about who worked there or what was involved in the daily operation you are welcome to contact me. Joe Deaton

The Monte Vista opened in early 1951, several months after the Diane-29 opened. Elvin Robinson, a successful and innovative businessman from Bessemer City, was looking for an investment opportunity when “drive-ins” began popping up across the country. He cleared off an old corn field next to his home and began grading and hauling hundreds of trucks of gravel. He asked his son-in-law, Ralph Deaton, to help with placing and wiring speaker posts and with the help of Carl Creedmore, who later became the projectionist.State Council of Defense established pursuant to Chapter 990 of the Public Laws of 1941, “An Act Relating to National and State Defense, Providing for the Establishment of a State Council of Defense and of Local and District Councils of Defense, and Prescribing the Powers and Duties Thereof” approved April 16, 1941. Council consisted of eleven members appointed by and serving at the pleasure of the Governor. Members chosen with reference to special knowledge of industry, agriculture, consumer protection, labor, education, health, welfare or other subjects relating to national or state defense.

At the time he was first fingerprinted by the Wheeling Police Department on April 26, 1972, Nathan Van Isler was a juvenile. The record does not show the reason for which the appellant was fingerprinted at that time, nor does it show the disposition of any proceeding that may have resulted from that occasion when his fingerprints were obtained.
The breaking and entering for which the appellant was convicted occurred on September 12, 1978. On September 23, 1978, the Wheeling Police Department submitted five latent fingerprints, taken from the scene of the breaking and entering, to the Federal Bureau of Investigation for comparison with the fingerprints of the appellant that had been taken on April 26, 1972.

The Big Bash League is officially a thing. The people of Melbourne and the MCG made it so on Saturday night when 80,883 squashed into the grand old ground for the Stars-Renegades derby, astonishing even organisers and overwhelming security protocols. Many thousands were caught in queues snaking around Yarra Park, waiting for bag searches and body scans. As per long history of MCG crowds, their humour held. To accommodate the swarm, the MCC at length had to open the members' reserve to all comers and remove a promotional banner that initially had covered one bank of seats.

Eighty thousand, eight hundred and eighty three. It is worth spelling out. It was almost certainly the biggest crowd for a domestic cricket match anytime, anywhere. It was bigger than this season'sBoxing Day crowd, and for that matter last season's, too. It was bigger than any Collingwood-Carlton AFL game for the past two years, once the gold standard for derby-style matches in Melbourne. That must have left Eddie McGuire, president of both the Magpies and Stars, with mixed feelings. Then again, his teams won every time, winter and summer.

Sheer crowd size, special effects and gimcrackery were only the half of it. When former Stars captain Cameron White appeared for the Renegades, he was momentarily booed. This game has a history and a memory after all. When White was kept scoreless for a couple of deliveries, fans brandished placards extolling the virtue of the dot ball. This game's nuances are not lost on everybody. And even the ones that were,


Jason Gaebel and Kwame Anderson don't usually cross the bridge over Interstate 94 in St. Paul, Minn. But this Wednesday morning, for no reason in particular, the beer deliverymen decided to take a different route, they told local news stations.

After dropping off a shipment of beer at a sports bar nearby, Gaebel steered the truck onto the bridge, crossing over the busy highway below. Then, they spotted a man standing on the bridge's ledge on the other side of the fence.

"Bro, you alright?" Gaebel, the driver of the beer truck, shouted out the window, as Anderson filmed on his phone. "Come on this side, bro."

Facing them, the man on the ledge responded that he was going to take his own life. Anderson cut the video, and called 911.

Thedispatcher told him to hold off until police arrived, but Anderson couldn't stand the wait.

"I'm thinking it's either I help this guy or he's going to jump," he later told KMSP. "I gotta keep this guy entertained somehow because if I wait for police, things could be over."

The first thought that came to his mind was, of all things, Denzel Washington. He recalled the movie "Inside Man," in which Washington plays a hostage negotiator for the New York Police Department.

"I was like, alright. I gotta be the negotiator," Anderson told KSTP.

So for the next hour, even after police arrived, Anderson talked to the man. He asked him his name, where he grew up, whether he had kids. He found out the man lived about four blocks from the


bridge, that he had children and that he was originally from Chicago.

"Chicago's tough," the man told Anderson, he told the Pioneer Press.

"I grew up on the East Side of St. Paul, in the hood just like you," Anderson said he responded.

At some point, St. Paul police officers and other authorities arrived and closed the eastbound lane of the bridge, the Pioneer Press reported.

Anderson kept asking the man questions: Did he want any food? Did the man want to eat something with him? He replied that he wasn't hungry.

"Do you need any money?" Anderson asked, he recalled to KARE 11. The man said he didn't.

"Do you want to have a drink with me?" Anderson asked. The man paused.

"Yeah? A beer?" Anderson pressed.

"Maybe," the man responded.

As the officers continued distractingthe man, Anderson rushed to the beer truck, grabbing a 12-pack of Coors Light.

He brought the case of beer to the bridge's ledge, opened it, and told the man that if he climbed down from there, the 12-pack was all his.

The man agreed, slowly retreating to safety, where emergency responders placed him in an ambulance and transported him to a hospital.

After he finished speaking with the police officers, Anderson started filming on his phone again.

"We just talked a guy off a ledge with some beer," Anderson said. Officers smiled for the camera, giving him a thumb's up. "Nice job, Kwame," one officer said.

"It's a good day," Anderson said.

He later told KMSP that he was "extremely relieved."

"I knew that when I saw him standing here, I wasn't going to


leave until he came off," Anderson said.

Police authorities, along with hundreds of others on Facebook, commended Anderson for stepping in.

"The really good thing is that this person driving by saw what was going on, recognized a person who was in crisis and recognized that he could make a difference for them by stopping and talking," Sgt. Mike Ernster, a St. Paul police spokesman, told KMSP.

Their employer, Breakthru Beverage, a distributor of beer, wine and spirits, posted on Facebook praising the work of Anderson and Gaebel.

"Not all superheroes wear capes, or even have super powers. Some heroes simply stop and offer to help someone in need," Breakthru Beverage Minnesota wrote. "We are honored to employ two incredible heroes."

It's impossible to know exactly what changed the man's mind as hestood on that ledge. But one important factor was not lost on law enforcement authorities.

"Beer has been bringing people together for a long, long time," Ernster, the police spokesman, told the Pioneer Press. "Today, it brought people together in a life-saving way."

Several of Anderson's friends on Facebook agreed. "Some people just need an ear and a beer," one person commented.

"We need more like you," wrote another. "We all learned a valuable lesson today. Always keep beer handy."

The man ultimately didn't have a chance to share a Coors Light with Anderson on Wednesday. But Anderson, who is also a comedian, said he invited his new acquaintance to one of his shows.

"I told him he needs a laugh," Anderson said. "I'll make sure he gets a beer."

             Sports teams named Redskins

Sports teams named Redskins are part of the larger Native American mascot controversy regarding the use of Native American names, images and symbols by non-native sports teams. Teams of this name have received particular public attention due to the fact that the term "redskin" is now generally regarded as disparaging and offensive.

The most prominent team of this name is the Washington Redskins of the National Football League (NFL), which has been at the center of an ongoing controversy and campaigns to change the name. Various high school and youth teams have also used the name, though the number has been steadily declining. The college sports teams using the name changed voluntarily prior to the NCAA Native American mascot decision in 2005; the University of Utah


Alderman Antonio French, a friend of his, Liz Peinado, said in a Twitter post. During the unrest, French has posted videos on social media of protests and the police presence on the streets. His arrest could not be independently confirmed late Wednesday.

Gov. Jay Nixon tweeted that he was canceling planned appearances to visit the area Thursday. He added: “Closely monitoring situation.... Ask for calm & urge law enforcement to respect rights of residents & press.”

President Obama was briefed on the situation, a White House spokesman tweeted.

During the nighttime confrontation, protesters with shirts wrapped around their faces held signs that read, “Hands up, don’t shoot,” as police closed in on the crowd. The slogan has been adopted by protesters because witnesses said 18-year-old Michael Brown was running with histo gauge witnesses’ credibility, he said.

Along with the St. Louis County Police Department, the FBI and civil rights attorneys from the Justice Department are conducting parallel investigations.

Racial tension has simmered since Saturday’s shooting, beginning with a protest late that day. Then, on Sunday night, vandals rampaged through 12 businesses, burning one and breaking windows.

Ferguson is a working-class suburb of 21,000, where two-thirds of residents are black but police and city officials are predominantly white.

Although the largest protests have been peaceful, demonstrations have turned ugly at night.

Mostly, the protests have been bloodless. But about 1 a.m. Wednesday, St. Louis County police said, an officer shot and critically wounded a man who had pointed a handgun at the officer near the site of the Brown shooting.

Earlier Wednesday, Ferguson Police Chief


Thomas Jackson said he would not identify the officer involved in the Brown shooting because a rumor had misidentified the officer and prompted death threats.

The officer who shot Brown was injured in the confrontation and the “side of his face was swollen,” Jackson said. The officer was treated at a hospital, the chief said, and he was “very shaken.”

Jackson said the department has asked protesters to rally only during daylight hours to ensure community safety.

Local law enforcement authorities released only a few details about the shooting, and several witnesses have disputed the police account.

Brown had been walking down a street with a friend Saturday about noon when, according to police, an officer drove up and attempted to get out of his patrol car, and Brown pushed the officerback into the car.

After an altercation over a weapon in the car, the officer and Brown got out of the vehicle, and the fatal shooting occurred, according to Belmar, the St. Louis County police chief. Bystanders said Brown had raised his hands to surrender when the fatal shots occurred.

Wednesday evening, a brief contretemps occurred when two journalists were taken into custody.

The reporters — one from the Washington Post, the other from the Huffington Post — were quickly released after the intervention of Jackson, Ferguson’s police chief.

to Powerball and Mega Millions, though those games are played across dozens of states.

Lottery Director Bishop Woosley has been working to increase profit margins for the lottery as a way to send more money into the fund for college scholarships. Proportionally, Arkansas sells more scratch tickets than any other state and those tickets have much narrower profit margins than numbers games.

Since the lottery launched in 2009, one Arkansas resident has won a top Powerball jackpot and no one in the state has won the top Mega Millions prize.

Players taking a chance on the Natural State Jackpot will have a one in 576,000 chance of winning, much shorter odds than the one in 176 million faced by Powerball and Mega Millions players.

In May 1997, 8-year-old Kirsten Hatfield disappeared from her bedroom one night, sparking a national search by local police and the FBI. But the case quickly went cold and she was never found.

On Monday, Oklahoma police made a decisive break in the long-dormant case, arresting a man who lives two doors down and was initially identified as a suspect in the case, but is now linked by DNA evidence to the girl’s disappearance.

Police arrested Joseph Palma, a neighbor who had previously told investigators he was at home that night, charging him with first-degree murder and kidnapping after a DNA test linked him to items found in the girl’s bedroom on the night of her disappearance.

Police said that they feared she had been killed just after she was abducted,but family members welcomed Mr. Palma’s arrest as providing some relief in a case that had gone cold more than 18 years ago.

“Oh my goodness,” the victim's mother, Shannon Hazen, told The Oklahoman after first learning of the arrest from the paper on Monday. “Yes! Yes! Yes!,” she said, then began sobbing.

Palma was identified as a suspect in the case after examining blood found on the windowsill of the girl’s bedroom and on her clothing, which was found in the house’s backyard. In June, he agreed to give a DNA sample after investigators began re-examining the case, but maintained that he had been at home during the night of May 13, 1997.

The blood on the windowsill was identified as his after DNA testing, with police saying the match
