Factors driving demand include an infusion of cash into the state Department of Land and Natural Resources environmental programs, from private landowners paying environmental mitigation fees for wind farms and other major projects. It also follows the natural progression of decades-long conservation projects: Lands were set aside for protection through programs such as the Natural Area Reserve System in the 1980s, state agencies and conservation groups spent the 1990s and early 2000s on preservation measures, such as fencing and pest removal, and now those programs have moved intoideas: the Small Seminar and the Higher Seminar in Theoretical Philosophy, at the Department of Philosophy in Lund. The first of these forums is an informal, laid-back meeting where Nils-Eric's current and former students assemble over a cup of coffee to discuss ideas at an early stage in their development. I thank the various participants for helpful discussion: Ingar Brinck, Martin Jönsson, Henrik Levinsson, Martin Palmé, Johannes Persson, Robin Stenwall and Niklas Vareman. The Higher Seminar is the department's principal forum for the presentation of more developed ideas and "finished" papers. I am very grateful for the constructive comments I received there. In addition to those mentioned above, I am indebted to: Staffan Angere, Anna Bjurman, Sebastian Enqvist, Bengt Hansson, Jan Hartman, Lennart Karlsson, Erik J. Olsson, Stefan

Paul Needham at Stockholm University was kind enough to read a couple of my papers, give me useful comments, and send me some of his own work on related matters, and for that I am very grateful. Thanks also to Rögnvaldur Ingthorsson at Umeå University (though currently at Durham University, UK) for stimulating correspondence on the philosophy of time and persistence, and for reading and commenting on some of my papers and sending a couple of his own to me. Outside Sweden, I want to thank Huw Price for being such a generous and amiable host at the Centre for Time, University of Sydney, Australia, which my wife and I visited July-December 2006. The Sydney visit turned out to be extremely stimulating,due not least to the many workshops and conferences held there and the several dinner parties we attended, but also because of the sheer brilliance of the people working at the Centre and at the Department of Philosophy. Besides Huw, I want to thank in particular David Armstrong, Sungho Choi, John Cusbert, Luca Morretti, Nicholas J. J. Smith (who later visited the Department of Philosophy in Lund, in February-May 2008) and Brad Weslake for rewarding philosophical discussions. In Britain, Hugh Mellor kindly read some of my papers and gave me valuable comments. Paul Robinson, who runs Quercus Editorial Service, checked and improved my English and made many helpful philosophical comments. 9 I am also grateful for the various comments I received from participants (too numerous to be mentioned

Ten years ago I wouldn't have been surprised to be attending a Southern Baptist Convention conference on the Gospel and LGBT people. I was a young Christian at the world's largest Baptist college, and deeply involved in my local evangelical Christian Church. It was only a few months earlier that I had finally confessed to myself that I, in the language of that time, "struggled with same-sex attraction."

I wanted to live my life fully, authentically, and faithfully, but at the time, I didn't know that was possible because I was attracted to men. My school, my church, and the Exodus International-affiliated ministry I attended all confirmed that one could not be both gay and a Christian. And so for several years, I towed the line, watching friends andshown to improve electrical conductivity across the material.

Reactivity of [(η6-C6H6)Mn(CO)3]+
Typical arene tricarbonyl piano stool complexes of Mn(I) and Re(I) are cationic and thus exhibit enhanced reactivity toward nucleophiles.  Subsequent to nucleophilic addition, the modified arene can be recovered from the metal.

(η6-C6H6)Ru complexes
Half-sandwich compounds employing Ru(II), such as (cymene)ruthenium dichloride dimer, have been mainly investigated as catalysts for transfer hydrogenation.  These complexes feature three coordination sites that are susceptible to substitution, while the arene ligand is tightly bonded and protects the metal against oxidation to Ru(III).  They are prepared by reaction of RuCl3·x(H2O) with 1,3-cyclohexadienes. Work is also conducted on their potential as anticancer drugs.

(η6-C6H6)RuCl2 readily undergoes ligand exchange via cleavage of the chloride bridges, making this complex an versatile precursor to Ru(II) piano stool derivatives.

Allosteric regulation of pyruvate kinase M2 isozyme involves a cysteine residue in the intersubunit contact.
Pyruvate kinase M2 isozyme mutants with amino acid substitutions in the subunit interface were prepared and characterized. The substitutions were made in the allosteric M2 isozyme by the corresponding residues of the nonallosteric M1 isozyme to identify the residue involved in the allosteric effects. The replacement of Cys-423 by Leu led to substantial loss of both homotropic and heterotropic allosteric effects while the substitutions at Phe-389, Arg-398, Ala-401, Pro-402, Thr-408, and Ile-427 did not. The altered kinetic properties of the Cys-423-substituted mutant resulted from the shift of the allosteric transition toward the active R-state since the mutant exhibits the allosteric properties in the presence of an allosteric inhibitor, L-phenylalanine.

The joint arrangement of precious glasses with valuable needle and bobbin lace in the Renaissance Baroque Rococo Collection
on permanent display not only complies with aspects of art history, but also places these delicate materials in a visual-sensuous
dialogue with each other that enhances and accentuates their aesthetic effect with striking clarity.

intention = states of affairs. The wealth of appearances.The legacy of those who were here before us = the form of actions, our inheritance = memory: museums are also, like cemeteries,
our quiet bliss: because the nature of the encounter also gives rise to understanding: it seems there can be no truth concerning
this, but only original, brilliant works: silence is the word extinct. Because the same thing once meant something else: because
the essence of things is forever dead, and its material properties maintain this expansion into a different world: because
a past exists that the living individual can reach into and at least the possibility is hinted at of coming to an end through
oneself and beyond with the early ***** appearance. / Franz Graf

The MAK's collection of lace, and itsholdings of glasswareespecially Venetian glassare considered among the finest
and most varied in the world. Even in the Baroque period, Venetian glasswork was particularly treasured, and both men and
women spent vast sums on the sumptuous lace decoration that fashion demanded.While glass-making is one of the oldest handicraft techniques in the world, the history of lace-making only begins in the
late Renaissance period, probably in Italy. A distinction is made between needlepoint lace and bobbin lace, but combinations
of the two techniques are often seen. Florence, and later Venice and Milan, were the centers of Italian lace-making in the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, before lace-making in France and Flanders began during the eighteenth century. Venice
was the center of European glass-making from the Middle Ages onwards. Around 1500, Venetian glass-makers succeeded in producing

even South America.

You know, got to stay a step ahead of them.”

Romeo – Retired Old Men Eating Out – The name pretty much says it all, a group of retired men who enjoy each other’s company, gather once a week for food, male bonding, fellowship, and lots of laughs.

Question them about the origin of the group and the men point to the women in their lives, their wives. They say their wives have been faithfully gathering with their women friends at Red Hat Society meetings or a group called


you what we talked about, and if I did, I’d have to kill you,” after which they break out in laugher.

The number of men who gather for the Romeo meetings varies each week from six to as many as 12.

The men come from a variety of professional backgrounds.

One was involved in book publishing, another was a public school teacher and musician, another was an administrator, one was a partner in an accounting company, another was a management consultant and heavily involved in education, and another was a jet pilot and electrical engineer, for starters.

They lost one of their members this summer when Jim Olesen died. The Romeos said Olesen was known as a real joke teller. It seems many of the remaining Romeos have stepped up to takekind, sensitive, compassionate, and reliable, the type of men upon which communities depend.

The wife believes the reason the men are drawn together is that they all have wives who are multi-taskers, who are going in seven places at the same time, whereas the men tend to be of a single focus, and in their meetings they find comfort in talking with other men about their confusing, sometimes hard-to-understand wives.

Asked to comment if the name “Romeo” gave the men an air of intrigue. She responds with her eyes looking up toward the ceiling and a smile she tries to contain.

A Sheffield old boys club is closing its doors after more than a century – blaming its demise on the rise of social media.

The Old Centralians Association – for former pupils of the old Sheffield Central Secondary School in the city centre and High Storrs School in Ecclesall – was set up in 1892 and was seen as key for alumni to keep in touch.

However, an association spokesman said in recent years dinners and its annual ball have lost favour ‘as more students moved away’.

Ian Gage, High Storrs headteacher and association honorary president, said: “Former students seem to keep in touch through social media nowadays.

WEST POINT, N.Y. - Air Force quarterback Tim Jefferson completed just three passes but two went for long touchdowns as the Falcons claimed the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy with a 42-22 victory over Army, Saturday afternoon at a sold-out Michie Stadium.

Both teams wore special uniforms for the service academy clash and crowd of 38,128 turned out and saw Jefferson connect on three-of-seven passes for 124 yards and two scores. He also rushed 11 times for 57 yards and two more touchdowns as the Falcons became bowl eligible and improved to 6-4.

The Falcons, who beat Navy 14-6 in early October, won the Commander-in-Chief's Trophy for the first time since 2002.

Army fullback Jared Hassin tied an Academy-record with his fourth straight 100-yard rushing game, but the Black Knights fell to 5-4 overall.

Hassinrushed 17 times for 114 yards with a long run of 38 yards to pace the Black Knights' offense, while Trent Steelman completed six-of-12 passes for 81 yards and a touchdown. Steelman also rushed 11 times for 60 yards.

Army wore a special "dress gray" uniform with gray pants and shirts with a black stripe and an all-black helmet, while Air Force donned a replica of the flying suits worn by the Thunderbirds.

In the end, it was Air Force securing the victory and service academy bragging rights.

Army jumped out to a 3-0 lead on the first of three Alex Carlton field goals. His first was successful from 30 yards with 8:55 left in the first quarter.

The Black Knights forced a three-and-out on the next possession and extended their lead


to 6-0 nothing as Carlton booted a 41-yard field goal.

Air Force went ahead to stay on its next possession with an 11-play, 67-yard drive culminating in a three-yard scoring run by Jefferson.

Army was forced to punt on its next possession and this time Jefferson went to the air, connecting with Jonathan Warzeka for a 53-yard scoring toss the ensuing 14-6 lead.

Army pulled within a point on its next possession (14-13) as Jacob Bohn scored his first collegiate touchdown with an 18-yard run. Hassin collected 23 yards on the eight-play, 60-yard driving, setting up Bohn's score. Bohn followed the blocking of Jason Johnson and dragged a pair of defenders the final few yards.

The Falcons answered with their third score of the quarter when Nathan Walker found paydirt from twoyards out for a 21-13 Air Force lead at intermission.

Army cut the gap in the third quarter with Carlton splitting the uprights from 46 yards away and moving into a tie for third-place at the Academy with his 28th career field goal. Carlton's season-long field goal trimmed the Air Force lead to 21-16 with 3:37 remaining in the third quarter.

Jefferson came back with his second touchdown pass, this time a 63-yard bomb to Warzeka for a 28-16 advantage after three quarters.

Linebacker Jordan Waiwaiole scooped up a fourth-quarter fumble and rambled 48 yards for a touchdown as Air Force took a 35-16 lead.

The Black Knights continued to fight with Steelman throwing a nine-yard touchdown pass to Austin Barr with 10 minutes left in the contest. Steelman ran for 28


yards on first down and Hassin picked up 38 to move the chains and set up Steelman's touchdown pass.

The Falcons closed the scoring with Jefferson plunging in from a yard out with 3:25 remaining in the contest.

Army, which honored the 29 senior members of the team prior to the game, still has three regular season games remaining: next weekend at Kent State, Nov. 20 vs. Notre Dame at Yankee Stadium and Dec. 11 against Navy in Philadelphia.the respiratory tract. At the present time, the methods to make ROS measurements are crude and hard to use. Efforts to build automated systems have had limited success. There is thus a continuing need for better tools to assess both the ROS concentrations carried by the particles as well as their potential for inducing the formation of ROS once deposited in the respiratory system. Only then will it be possible to collect sufficient data to be able to assess the relationships between particle-bound ROS and particle-induced ROS with observed adverse health effects in an exposed population.

### 3.3.2 Air Pollution and Birth Weight

#### 3.3.2.1 Continuous Birth Weight

There is an extensive research literature exploring the association between air pollution and birth weight. While not all studies have found higher air pollution levels to be linked with decrements in birth weight, there is evidence of small reductions in birth weight associated with each of the criteria air pollutants.

Numerous studies observed decrements in birth weight associated with CO exposure during pregnancy. These associations were noted for exposures measured for the entire pregnancy (Bell et al. 2007; Morello-Frosch et al. 2010), first2013b). Raaschou-Nielsen et al. followed up 52,061 participants in the Danish Diet, Cancer and Health cohort for diabetes-related mortality and traced their residential addresses since 1971. Mean levels of NO2, an indicator of traffic-related air pollution, were significantly associated with mortality of diabetes. Exposure to NO2 above 19.4 μg/m3 was associated with a mortality-rate ratio of 2.15 (95 % CI 1.21, 3.83) per 10 μg/m3 NO2 after adjustment for potential confounders (Raaschou-Nielsen et al. 2013). A study conducted in Montreal, Quebec, among persons 65 years of age and older between 1990 and 2003 to assess daily mortality change associated with air pollution found a positive association among people having diabetes and total mortality (mean percent change in daily mortality = 3.45 with air pollution) (Goldberg et al. 2013).

can also be cleared via macrophage phagocytosis and subsequent mucociliary function. A smaller portion of larger particles is also taken up into interstitial lymphatic channels towards local lymph nodes, a recognized pathway for UFP that becomes more important under heavy deposited particle load conditions. Particles may also be cleared via dissolution. In addition to these pathways, UFP can also be cleared via translocation into the blood or lymph and along sensory neurons, as discussed below.

A major difference between UFP and larger particles relates to their biodistribution following deposition in the airways: The translocation of ultrafine (or nano-sized) particles across epithelial barriers, e.g., the alveolar-capillary barrier into the bloodstream, and their translocation along axons and dendrites of neuronal cells are hallmarks of nanoparticle biokinetics to reach secondary target organs.Respir Crit Care Med 164:819–825PubMed

had got her completely wrong (what, us?). To say they're not what we expected would be to do a disservice to irony and understatement. We anticipated yet another foghorn belter standing unadorned at the mic and wailing a series of unimaginative, unimaginably uninspired 12-bar blues or country moanathons – not these massive strings-drenched ballads that pay lip service to the mid-60s era of those solo artists with single names like Dusty, Lulu, Cilla and Sandie and the sort of epic tunes they would have blasted out on Sunday Night at the London Palladium or during a royal command performance. Open Up Your Arms, due to be the second single from this new Island signing in early 2012, is fabulous, and reminds us, if anything, of the Last ShadowPuppets – ie neo-60s MOR, only with a grain of a nod and a wink from the indie/alternative side of the fence to appease those uncomfortable with her being straight mainstream fodder. It's within a golden hair's breath of bearing comparison with the retro pastiche genius of LSP's Standing Next To Me.

It comes as no surprise, then, to discover that Harvieu has been working with Dave McCabe (the Zutons), Ed Harcourt, Howie Payne (ex-the Stands) and James Allan (Glasvegas). OK, that makes sense. Suddenly, not only is Harvieu not just another karaoke screecher, she's an indie girl with ambitions to recast herself as a 21st-century MOR queen. That's way more intriguing. This way she becomes a vehicle for the ambitions of Spector/Bacharach/Walker Bros fanboys like Allan who have


been trying to foist their vision of 60s pop on the nation to little commercial avail and now may have found the perfect avatar (notice how, in one sentence, Harvieu went from being a car to the embodiment of an abstract concept). We've also learned that Harvieu's childhood heroes included the Smiths, and that makes sense too, because Open Up Your Arms reminds us of those few occasions when that band showed their love of big camp 60s pop. In fact, Johnny Marr was one of the first to contact the 21-year-old when he found out this summer that she'd had a terrible accident and wound up in hospital.

Wait a sec – back up. Accident? Hospital! Yes, in May this year, just as Island were poised to releaseher debut album and she was about to record a duet with rapper Nas and perform at Glastonbury, Harvieu broke her back in a freak collision with a mate during a night of harmless hi-jinks in a park. She ended up with two vertebrae sticking through her clothes and faced the prospect of being wheelchair-bound for the rest of her life. By some miracle, here we are barely six months on and not only is Harvieu walking, albeit with crutches, she's armed with a clutch of fabulous quasi-classics and a bright future, perhaps as the missing link between Shirley Bassey and Adele. Better still, think of her as a homegrown Shelby Lynne pouring her heart and soul into Your Lies, backed by the combined talents of The Smiths

LONDON (AP) — Princes William and Harry have paid tribute to their mother, Princess Diana, on the eve of the 20th anniversary of her death by visiting a memorial garden at Kensington Palace and honoring the charity workers who once worked with her.

The engagement Wednesday at the Sunken Garden allowed the young royals, including William’s wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, to honor Diana’s work with charities. The


garden has been planted in white and dedicated to the princess at her former home, where she once would stroll by and ask the gardeners about their ever-changing displays.

In the pouring rain, the royals huddled under umbrellas to meet with representatives from charities that the late princess supported. Diana’s children have promised to carry on her charity work and chatted animatedly with their visitors.

The weeks before the anniversary of Diana’s death have been met with reflection in Britain as the public remembers “the people’s princess” and considers her contributions to the country and the monarchy. Fans of the late princess have been leaving photographs, flowers and flags at the palace gates to remember her.

Over the weekend a hiker was tramping across Stewart Island, a remote locale in New Zealand's far southern regions, when the crest of a hill brought an unsettling vista into view: scores of dead pilot whales washed ashore on the beach.

As many as 145 of the marine mammals — which, contrary to their name, are technically classified as dolphins — were found stranded along Mason Bay, two pods strewn across the sands just over a mile apart. New Zealand's Department of Conservation, which was notified Saturday night, said half of them had already died by the time they


were discovered.

The rest were in such a dire condition, and so difficult for experts to reach on short notice, that the department decided even the survivors needed to be euthanized.

"Sadly, the likelihood of being able to successfully re-float the remaining whales was extremely low. The remote location, lack of nearby personnel and the whales' deteriorating condition meant the most humane thing to do was to euthanise," the department's operations manager on the island, Ren Leppens, said in a statement released Monday.

"However," he added, "it's always a heart-breaking decision to make."

The sheer number of pilot whales made for a startling sight on an island of just 378 people. In video footage shot from an aircraft, the dead rest motionless in thick clusters, many half-buried in sand by the movementsof the tide.

Alarming as this incident may be, such strandings are not uncommon in New Zealand. The Department of Conservation reported at least four other incidents across the country last weekend alone, none of which appear to be related.

Officials have not yet given up hope on one of those incidents, a stranding on Sunday that left 10 pygmy killer whales washed ashore near New Zealand's northernmost tip. Two of them have died, but authorities have called on volunteers to help them save the rest by re-floating them out to sea Tuesday.

Across a period of several days last year, more than 650 pilot whales beached themselves on a thin strip of land projecting off New Zealand's South Island.

Those strandings — some of the country's largest ever on record —


French workers get 'right to disconnect' from emails out of hours Published duration 31 December 2016

France employees are getting the legal right to avoid work emails outside working hours.

The new law, which has been dubbed the "right to disconnect", comes into force on 1 January.

Companies with more than 50 workers will be obliged to draw up a charter of good conduct, setting out the hours when staff are not supposed to send or answer emails.

France has a working week of 35 hours, in place since 2000.

Supporters of the new law say that employees who are expected to check and reply to their work emails out of hours are not being paid fairly for their overtime,with the Lions under the Lenten method. Within the top eight, Port Adelaide and West Coast swap 2nd and 3rd, and Collingwood and Adelaide swap 6th and 8th. In the bottom half of the ladder, Essendon and the Bulldogs swap 12th and 13th, and, perhaps most important of all, the Tigers lose the Spoon and the priority draft pick to the Blues.

In Lenten's paper he looks at the previous 12 seasons and finds that, on average, five to six teams change positions each season. Furthermore, he finds that the temporal biases in the draw have led to particular teams being regularly favoured and others being regularly handicapped. The teams that have, on average, suffered at the hands of the draw have been (in order of most affected to

The Newsweek debacle has finally and almost predictably ended with a retraction.

Newsweek magazine, under fire for publishing a story that led to deadly protests in Afghanistan, said Monday it was retracting its report that a military probe had found evidence of desecration of the Quran by U.S. interrogators at Guantanamo Bay.

Earlier Monday, Bush administration officials had brushed off an apology that Newsweek's editor Mark Whitaker had made in an editor's note and criticized the magazine's handling of the story.

Protests broke out across much of the Muslim world last week after Newsweek reported that U.S. investigators found evidence that interrogators had flushed a copy of Muslim's holy book down a toilet in an attempt to rattle detainees. The violence left about 15 dead and scores injuredfrom solid silver or the less expensive EPNS (Electro-Plated Nickel Silver). Either choice takes advantage of the natural aseptic properties of silver to offset the hygiene implications of continuous wear.

By the time he was in his early teens (according to his account) he was down to masturbating 1-2 times per day (from a high of 5 to 7 times), and doing this instead of having sexual relations with either girls or boys. He said he found masturbation more pleasurable and less stressful than sex of any kind. He also said that he was embarrassed to show his uncut cock to either girls or boys, hence his desire for masturbation. Further, as he would only suck a circumcised boy himself, he felt it unfair to ask girls or boys to suck his untrimmed member. Now that he’s fully and tightly circumcised, he reports heCheyt-Syngs.

Manchester Arena attack: 'Hero' admits theft from victims Published duration 3 January 2018 Related Topics Manchester Arena attack

media caption Chris Parker was interviewed by reporters in the aftermath of the attack

A homeless man who stole a purse and a phone from victims of the Manchester Arena attack has admitted theft.

Chris Parker, 33, was initially dubbed a hero after claiming he comforted a seriously injured girl.

CCTV footage played to Manchester Crown Court showed him wandering between stricken victims.

He kept returning to injured Pauline Healey, whose granddaughter lay dying nearby, before leaning over her and taking her handbag to steal her purse.

The footage showed paramedics and police trying to resuscitate victims close by as he did so.

Within hours of taking the purse, he was using Mrs Healey's bank card ata local fast food restaurant.

Hiding in loft

Salman Abedi detonated a homemade bomb at an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena on 22 May, killing 22 people and injuring many more.

Parker's trial was due to start on Tuesday, but was delayed after he failed to appear.

He was found hiding in a loft of a house in Halifax, West Yorkshire, where he was arrested.

The court heard that following his arrest, he had received death threats while on remand in HMP Manchester.

image copyright PA image caption Salman Abedi detonated a home-made bomb in the foyer of the arena on 22 May last year

He pleaded guilty to two counts of theft and one of fraud after admitting using a debit card from the stolen purse.

Parker pleaded not guilty to five counts relating


to the attempted theft of a coat and bag discarded in the chaos following the attack, and the use of Mrs Healey's bank cards in the days after.

Donations for 'heroic' actions to be repaid

When the story of Parker's "heroism" was originally reported, a member of the public was so moved by his actions, he set up an appeal on the crowdfunding website GoFundMe

Michael Johns' appeal page stated that he hoped the campaign would "go some way to helping Chris off the streets and also show our gratitude for his actions".

Set up with the aim of raising £1,000, the appeal drew an "unprecedented" response and gathered more than £52,000.

A spokesman for the site said that following Parker's guilty pleas, the money would no longer be paid out to him.

Hesaid the company was "in full control of the funds donated" and the donations "will be refunded".

Louise Brandon, prosecuting, said as he had "admitted stealing items belonging to victims" and using a bank card, she would not "seek a trial on the remaining counts".

Prosecutors said it was clear the defendant provided "some limited assistance" to people injured at the entrance to the venue's foyer, but he "equally" took the opportunity to commit the thefts.

John Broadley, defending, asked for pre-sentence reports on Parker, who has previous theft and shoplifting convictions dating from 2000 to February of last year.

He said of Parker: "All he can do in the circumstances is first of all plead guilty and apologise for his appalling behaviour that evening."

Judge David Hernandez said a custodial sentence was


Adam Kohn Joins Kingsley Gate Partners

July 16, 2015 – Few search consultants who have left CTPartners this year can date their tenure with the beleaguered recruiting firm as far back as Adam P. Kohn. Along with his half-brother, Jeff Christian, the two formed one of the most compelling technology-based boutique search firms that became a national powerhouse recruiting operation in the 1990s. As the dot-com bubble burst late that decade, Christian & Timbers imploded; Mr. Christian, a celebrated Forbes-ranked dealmaker, famously fell from grace. But Mr. Kohn forged on. He joined the successor firm to Christian & Timbers, CTPartners, serving both concerns for 24 years and six months. At CTPartners, Mr. Kohn headed the firm’s global professional services practice, serving most recently as vice chairman.that are not wooded.

longest ever in Texas, Perry has a substantial history of political activity and has taken positions on a host of potentially controversial issues.

The new comments about the HPV decision amount to an acknowledgment that Perry has to deal early with controversies that could otherwise dog him in his primary fight against U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, a Tea Party darling who is running strong in first-test Iowa, and Mitt Romney, a well-funded candidate with strong establishment backing and the ex-governor of New Hampshire’s neighbor, Massachusetts.

In recent weeks Perry has also sought to clarify his 10th Amendment-friendly statements on other hot-button issues. A few weeks before jumping into the race, Perry said in Aspen, Colo., that gay marriage should be left up to the individual states. Gay marriage in Newsmall in the relative scheme of big-money Texas politics, had no influence on his decision.

In short order, the Legislature overwhelmingly overturned the decree. Acknowledging he did not have the votes to sustain a veto of the legislation, Perry announced he would allow it to become law without his signature. But he sharply criticized the Legislature.

"In the next year, more than a thousand women will likely be diagnosed with this insidious yet mostly preventable disease," Perry said at a May 9, 2007, news conference, surrounded by women who had been affected by HPV, including one who he said had been infected by a rapist. "I challenge legislators to look these women in the eyes and tell them, 'We could have prevented this disease for your daughters and granddaughters, but


Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an optical scanning apparatus and an image forming apparatus that uses the optical scanning apparatus.
Description of the Related Art
An electrophotographic image forming apparatus develops an electrostatic latent image formed on a photosensitive member by a toner and transfers and fixes the developed toner image to a recording material, thereby forming an image on the recording material. To form the electrostatic latent image on the photosensitive member, the image forming apparatus uses an optical scanning apparatus. The optical scanning apparatus includes a laser light source that emits a laser beam, and a deflector such as a rotating polygon mirror that deflects the laser beam emitted by the laser light source so that the laser beam scans the surface of the photosensitiveTeen Arrested After Pursuit in Eastern Sioux Falls

A police officer was trying to stop a teenager whose car had a brake light out Thursday night in the Hilltop area of eastern Sioux Falls.

But police say the teen sped away and rolled his car in a residential area a few blocks away.

Officer Sam Clemens says it was shortly before 11pm when the officer attempted to make the stop at 13th and Cleveland, and he says the driver stopped, but then drove away.

The pursuit went east from Cleveland until the driver lost control, hit a tree at 13th and Holt and rolled the car.

The driver ran, but officers followed footprints and located him behind a house at 15th and Cloudas Avenue.

Clemens says marijuana, methamphetamine and a handgun were found in

He made his final appearance in a Conference League Cup 2–0 defeat to Sutton United on 26 February 1991 at Gander Green Lane. Following this, he was sent out on loan alongside teammate Steve Restarick to Fisher Athletic in March 1991.

Colchester released Pollard in the summer of 1991, as he went on to play for a number of non-league clubs including Bury Town and Heybridge Swifts, where in two spells he became the club's record appearance holder with over 550 starts. He separated his spells at Heybridge with a two-year stint at St Albans City, making 93 appearances and scoring nine times, later playing for AFC Sudbury between 2005 and 2007CAPE TOWN - Thousands of chanting pro-Palestine demonstrators streamed up Plein Street in Cape Town shortly after noon on Wednesday and gathered outside Parliament&39;s main gates.

The huge crowd, which stretched through several city blocks, held aloft scores of banners and posters, calling for an end to the violence in Palestine&39;s Gaza Strip. "Israel should be wipe [sic] out of the map" and "Netanyahu: Hitler&39;s clone" were among the poster messages displayed.

The march comes a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Israel was set to "expand and intensify" its campaign against the Palestinian organisation Hamas.

The Jewish state has been conducting air strikes against the Palestinian territory in retaliation for rockets fired out of Gaza into Israel.

Palestinian officials claim at least 200 people have been killed in


the air strikes, including children.

"Free, free Palestine!" the protesters chanted outside the parliamentary complex.

Posters held aloft by the crowd proclaimed: "Israel murders children in Gaza" and "Viva Palestine, Viva Hamas".

A group of men wearing taqiyah skullcaps carried a large Palestinian flag.

With the Dutchman having been formally announced on Monday as the new manager, Ryan Giggs was appointed as his No2 but the other three members of the Class of 92, who were coaches when Giggs took over on an interim basis, remain in the dark.

The article in Al-Masri Al-Youm, an independent and widely read Egyptian daily, was headlined: “Livni: I had sex with Arabs in return for ‘political concessions.'” It featured prominently in the paper’s Saturday print edition and was still leading its website on Sunday afternoon. The article went up on Al-Masry Al-Youm’s website Friday night and was its most widely read story over the weekend. It had garnered 20,000 Facebook shares and 1,800 tweets as of Sunday morning, and was quoted extensively in


saying that “she is not against having sexual relations in order to obtain information that will benefit the State of Israel.”

It added that Livni said the Mossad had rescued her from danger during special missions conducted in numerous European countries in which scientists, including Arabs, were targeted.

Livni did not, in fact, say any of those things in any interview seen by The Times of Israel. Rather, she did make comments to the Israeli media, that were republished by the Times in 2009, in which she said she had not been asked “to go to bed with someone for my country.”

Rivière decided to strike at Nam Dinh, again in order to secure his communications with the coast.  It was the strategy that Francis Garnier had adopted in 1873, and it was probably the right one.  But the decision aroused considerable opposition among his officers.  They argued that it would result in a most undesirable division

Bethania De la Cruz has travelled back to Punta Cana in her native Dominican Republic

Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, March 27, 2020 – Flying Alone or From Russia with Volleyball could be the headlines describing Bethania De la Cruz's unique homeward journey following the end of Russia's Women's Super League.

De la Cruz was looking forward to returning home after the league’s playoffs were suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. With airports in her country restricting incoming flights, however, the authorities of the Dominican Republic and Russian Volleyball Federations took advantage of one empty flight to embark the highly touted athlete at Sheremetyevo Airport in the Russian capital.

Authorities have closed down beaches across France's southwest region after close to 900 kilograms of cocaine and other drugs started to wash up on its Atlantic coast in mid-October, a french prosecutor told AFP Tuesday.

French authorities are now working with international agencies as well as the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency to ascertain why the drugs are washing up on its shores, according to AFP.


News

A Mexican delegation met U.S. military officials in southern Mexico on Tuesday to discuss security initiatives, sources said on Wednesday, as the two countries try to find common ground in tough negotiations over trade, security and immigration.

The relationship between the United States and Mexico has become strained after U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to build a wall between the two countries to keep out illegal immigrants, drug dealers and criminals and make Mexico pay for it.

Lori Robinson, chief of the U.S. Northern Command, and Kurt Tidd, head of the Southern U.S. Command, attended the talks, two people familiar with the matter said. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity so they could discuss the meeting.

It was one of the first known meetings between U.S. and Mexican officials sinceTrump became president in January, after threatening to upend years of cooperation between the two neighbors with divisive rhetoric on trade and security.

One of the sources said the talks focused on Mexico’s commitment to securing its southern border to keep out criminals and illegal immigrants. The source said that U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Roberta Jacobson also attended.

Mexico’s Foreign Ministry said Foreign Minister Luis Videgaray was not present. A third source said Socorro Flores, deputy minister for Latin America and the Caribbean, represented Mexico at the meeting.

U.S. Northern Command spokesman Michael Kucharek confirmed Robinson and Tidd visited Mexico on Tuesday as part of “continued coordination in partner nation security,” adding that the two also went to Honduras and Guatemala.

Does the Sun revolve around the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way?

I'm curious to know, does the sun really revolve around the black hole at the center of the galaxy?

A:

The center of the galaxy indeed contains the supermassive black hole. However the situation is significantly different from say the solar system. In the solar system almost all the matter is contained in Sun. The rest of the planets, moons, asteroids and comets contributes very little. So planetary orbits are determined mostly by Sun's gravity. In contrast the supermassive black hole in the center of our

The Seas

by Samantha Hunt

I’m Kim Alexander and this is a Fiction Nation Minute. The book is The Seas by Samantha Hunt.

This is another book about coming of age as a young woman in a hard drinking far northern fishing village. It’s a dreary and claustrophobic place, and the village and the book, and everyone in it, are surrounded by the sea. The 19-year old narrator has been convinced by her long gone father that she’s a mermaid, but not a pretty Disney style mermaid; instead the old fashioned kind that lured men to watery death. So it’s probably just a coincidence that her father drowned himself. She is in unrequited love with an older man, an Iraqi war veteran, to the rest of the world a damaged man


No wonder she’s convinced, and waits on the beach for him to swim home. Instead, she meets Jude, who walks out of the ocean and makes a nice substitute. He’s much older, a hard drinking Iraqi war vet, and her love goes unreturned  at least at first. Every page of this book swims in water imagery, and it’s Samantha Hunt’s skill that turns a sad tale about drunks and crazies into a magical story where the lines between the sea and the land and between madness and reality is blurred. The book is The Seas by Samantha Hunt. I’m Kim Alexander on Fiction Nation on Book Radio, SiriusXM Channel 80.Paranormal Boot Camp South Gate Legion Hall

After sharing the news publicly, Duckworth received an outpouring of good wishes and sparked a national conversation about how women balance high-powered careers and motherhood. Some welcomed her pregnancy as a sign of progress for female politicians. While others saw it as a reminder of the slow pace ofchange – and of the gender gap that persists in Congress.

Duckworth, who was surprised by the response, tends to agree with the latter.

“I feel like the Senate is actually in the 19th century as opposed to the 21st somehow and that’s really unfortunate,” said the Democrat from Illinois, during an interview in her office.

“It’s a reflection of a real need for more women in leadership across our country, whether it’s legislatively or in boardrooms or the military.”

The senator, a veteran of the Iraq war, has spent a storied career in public service. Among the first women to fly combat missions in Iraq, she lost both legs when her helicopter was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade in 2004. In 2012, she became the first disabled woman elected to Congress;


powers around the world. They’ve figured out that there is an economic benefit to taking family leave.”

Among 41 developed countries, the US is the only one that does not require any paid leave for new parents, according to the the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. US law allows workers to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave without losing their jobs for a new baby or if they or a family member fall ill.

In the Senate, Duckworth has joined Democrats in support of a bill that would provide up to 12 weeks of leave for family and medical purposes with partial pay. Introduced by New York senator Kirsten Gillibrand and known as the Family Act, the bill would establish a nationwide insurance program to pay forcommittee as part of a broader bill and is awaiting consideration by the full Senate.

In the House, Duckworth introduced legislation to expand paid parental leave for members of the military. That bill would allow service members to take 12 weeks of paid leave regardless of their gender if they are a parent of a newborn, adopted or foster child.

While Duckworth offers her own staff 12 weeks of paid parental leave after birth, adoption or fostering of a child, there is no policy for senators. Duckworth plans to


two of which are first-round selections. The Devils also traded Johnny Oduya, Niclas Bergfors and Patrice Cormier in the February trade that brought Kovalchuk to New Jersey. That’s just the player and monetary aspect of the signing.

The Devils also lost credibility throughout the summer during this signing. The team spent an entire summer in the headlines, and many of them were notably negative. The league used this contract as a jump-off point to renegotiate the CBA, eliminating these types of deals. Worse, the Devils were caught looking ridiculous for the entire summer. Everyone respects Lou Lamoriello, but his credibility – and his relationship with the league – definitely took a hit in this process.

Just think – all of this for a player who has yet to win aterror, destruction, and utter heartbreak, I try to think of the U.S. flags springing up everywhere, the outpouring of love and support and national unity. I think of walking through the neighborhood putting flags in the ground by every mailbox. I think of crying unexpectedly at the stoplight when I heard the song “I’m Proud to be an American.” I remember talking to my burly brother, the brick mason, who said he heard about it on his work radio. Then he and the other workers took an early lunch. He sat on the curb and opened his lunchbox and broke down sobbing.

They both flew to London from different places but met at the airport and rode together to their new home on Palace Court. They lived off cupcakes, crepes, and European chocolate; rode bikes in Hyde Park and had tea in Kensington Palace. They celebrated St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland, and fell asleep on each other on every sightseeing bus trip.

I miss them all.

When you prepare team dinners, travel across the county to one game after another, attend sports banquets, fundraise, and cheer together for years, you develop a bond.

As I left the field after the game I thought about my hometown Herndon day and how much I love being part of this community.

Forget Donald Trump.

Doh! Why did I write that? Who could possibly forget the first presidential candidate in our history preemptively unwilling to accept election results? (Even the South in 1860 accepted the election of Abraham Lincoln before trying to wave goodbye to the Union.) Who could forget the man who claimed that abortions could take place on the day of or the day before actual birth? Who could forget the man who claimed in front of an audience of nearly 72 million Americans that he had never met the women who accused him of sexual aggression and abuse, including the People magazine reporter who interviewed him? Who could forget the candidate who proudly cited his positive polling results at rallies and in tweets, month after month, before (whenand confounding is that we’re not just talking about the presidency of a country, but of the country. The United States remains the great imperial state on Planet Earth in terms of the reach of its military and the power of its economy and culture to influence the workings of everything just about everywhere. And yet, based on the last strange year of election campaigning, it’s hard not to think that something -- and not just The Donald -- is unnervingly amiss on Planet America.

The World War II Generation in 2016

Sometimes, in my fantasies (as while watching the final presidential debate), I perform a private miracle and bring my parents back from the dead to observe our American world. With them in the room, I try to imagine


oversight committees.

Americans, in other words, know ever less about what their government does in their name at home and abroad.

I might suggest to my parents that they simply imagine the Constitution of the United States being rewritten and amended in secrecy and on the fly in these years without as much as a nod to “We, the People.” In this way, as our elections became elaborate spectacles, democracy was sucked dry and ditched in all but name -- and that name is undoubtedly Donald J. Trump.

Consider that, then, a brief version of how I might describe our new American world to my amazed parents.

America as a National Security State

None of this is The Donald’s responsibility. In the years in which a new American system was developing, he wasWelcome back to hell: United prepare to face Galatasaray 19 years on from infamous clash

Nineteen years on from their first visit to 'hell', Manchester United are preparing to head into the lion's den that is Galatasaray's home once more.

But when Sir Alex Ferguson's men walk out for their Champions League clash in Istanbul on Tuesday night they are unlikely to be greeted with such vitriolic hostility as they did when they faced the Turkish side for the first time at the Ali Sami Yen back in November 1993.

Welcome to hell: United are greeted with hostile banners back in 1993

WHAT THEY SAID...

Ryan Giggs isn't the only man to remember United's trip to Istanbul vividly. Here's what his team-mates and manager had to say about the arduous experience...

'I remember it vividly. It will always stick with me,' said the 38-year-old ahead of the trip to the Türk Telekom Arena, which =replaced the 35,000-seater Ali Sami Yen stadium in 2007.

'I was 19 and, when we arrived at the airport, there were all the banners and fans. Thousands of fans screaming at you.

Fanatical: Fans at the Ali Semi Yen stadium

'There were things being thrown at us when we were driving away on the coach. Outside the hotel their fans were chanting all night, making sure we didn't get any sleep. People were phoning the hotel room.

'Prior to the game, the manager told us to go on the pitch and samplethe atmosphere.

'The fans had been in the ground for hours and hours. The atmosphere was buzzing 90 minutes before kick-off.

Shock: United could only draw 3-3 at Old Trafford

'We were stood in the middle of the pitch watching the fans chant. It was one stand to another.'

Whether the fans' behaviour had an impact is hard to tell, but United underperformed as they had done in the first leg and could only draw 0-0 as they were sent crashing out.

The drama didn't end there though as the visitors had Eric Cantona sent off in the dying embers of the game, resulting in a brawl at the final whistle involving both players and fans.

'When we came off the pitch, it was chaos,' Giggs said.

had already been sent off and the way back to the dressing room was underneath the pitch.

'There were armed police either side - not the kind of people you would ever mess with. They had helmets, batons, were all ready. And it just kicked off.

'I was just trying to get back to the safety of the dressing room as quickly as possible.

'Obviously not at the time because we lost and went out, but it was a great experience for us.

'They were a good team thena depressed Manchester United fell prey to Turkish football's finest hour. Cantona - acknowledged to have a volatile temperament - had been incensed by the time-wasting of Galatasaray as they succeeded in protecting their three goals at Old Trafford with a goalless draw to secure a place in the Champions' League of the European Cup.

As the Turkish players sank to their knees around him, Cantona picked the wrong man at whom to direct a mouthful of his mother-tongue. Referee Kurt Rothlisberger - a French teacher from Switzerland - spun around and immediately showed the red card to the United striker. It was not the final ignominy on a woeful night for English football.

Cantona was struck by a Turkish policeman as he struggled to get down the tunnel to


game ended a shambles.

`Cantona was sent off because he complained about no time being added on. There was hardly more than a minute. A lot of frustration crept into the game because our players could hardly control the ball on a bumpy pitch.'

Cantona had been involved in a 75th-minute incident when he ran off the field to retrieve the ball and kicked it into the Turkish bench, knocking over an official as he ran. It provoked a crazy scene where the Frenchman was surrounded by jostling players and the entire Galatasaray bench, including coach Reiner Hollmann. Incredibly, the referee took no action but Ferguson added: `Eric is desperate to do well and he might have over-reacted.'

Even though Galatasaray had not been beaten at the Ali Sami Yen Stadiumin the European Cup for a decade, they were hardly prepared for this night as they claimed one of the most precious scalps in world football. United return to the more mundane matters of a local derby against City at Maine Road on Sunday knowing that a fortune has been snatched from their grasp as adeptly as the pick-pockets who roam the back alleys of this teeming city.

The English champions stood to make at least £5 million should they have reached the stage where they would play six matches in the mini-league series against such teams as AC Milan, Barcelona and Anderlecht. Now they will have to make do with something a little more prosaic.

In India, it merely led to more wheat in the diet, while food productivity per capita showed no increased or even actually decreased (see ‘New Histories of the Green Revolution‘ by Glenn Stone).

In the 20s, Adolf and Rudolf Dassler opened a small hand-made footwear workshop in their home country, Bavaria. After the end of World War II, disputes led to an inevitable separation, and Rudolf decided to create his own company called Puma.

History tells us, of course, that it was a huge success, and Puma grew increasingly to become a brand that is recognised worldwide. Synonymous with a sporty and casual look, over the years it has created some iconic products, each essential, and particularly the sneakers above all else. Each model is unique and characterised by its own particular design and it is not by chance that Puma has been chosen as a partner by many high fashion designers to create their collections.

December 25th - The Nativity of the LORD

The feast of the Nativity of the LORD is a double feast with an Octave and its liturgical colour is white.

At Vespers yesterday afternoon the antiphons Rex pacificus magnificatus est etc were sung with psalms 109, 110, 111, 112 & 113. The Office hymn was Christe Redemptor omnium. At Compline, and the Hours throughout the Octave, a proper Doxology, Gloria tibi Domine, Qui natus es de Virgine, Cum patre et almo Spiritu, In sempiterna saecula, is sung at all hymns of Iambic metre until the Epiphany.

At Mattins the invitatory


is Christus natus est nobis, Venite adoremus. When intoning the hymn, Christe, Redemptor omnium, the Hebdomadarius turns and bows to the altar. Mattins has three nocturns and the usual nine lessons. In the first nocturn the lessons are from Isaiah but, interestingly, are sung without a title. These are the same as in the modern editions. In the second nocturn the lessons are taken from a homily on the Nativity by St. Leo. All three lessons are longer than in the post-Clementine editions. In the third nocturn three Gospel pericopes are sung, two from St. Luke and the third from St. John. The seventh lesson does not begin at the words Quia, largiente Domino, as in the later editions, but at Quid est, quod nascituro Domino. It islonger by a couple of sentences. The eighth lesson is longer by a sentence and the ninth lesson by several sentences. After the Te Deum the collect is sung followed by Benedicamus Domino. Then the first of the three Masses for the Nativity is sung. The Gloria is sung (one theory of its origin in the Mass rite is from the song of the Angels on Christmas night to the shepherds) as is the Creed. The preface and communicantes are of the Nativity. Lauds immediately follow this Mass.

At Lauds a different set of antiphons to those used at first Vespers, Quem vidistis pastores etc., are sung with the Dominical psalms (92, 99, 62-66, Benedicite, 148-149-150). The Office hymn is A solis ortus cardine.

Later in the morning Prime is


sung. The first antiphon from Lauds, Quem vidistis pastores, is sung with the festal psalms (53, 118i & 118ii). In the short responsory the versicle Qui natus es de Maria Virgine is sung. Prime is followed by the second Mass, the Missa in aurora, that has a second collect to commemorate St. Anastasia. The Gloria and Creed are sung, the preface and communicantes are of the Nativity.

After Terce the third Mass is sung. This Mass too has the Gloria and Creed along with the preface and communicantes of the Nativity. As the Gospel pericope for this Mass is In principio the Gospel of the Epiphany, Cum natus esset Jesus, is read as a proper last Gospel.

Second Vespers has yet a third set of proper antiphons for the feast,Malala Yousufzai, the teenage Pakistani activist shot in the head by the Taliban for advocating girls' education, has thanked people around the world for their inspiring and humbling support.

A month after she was targeted, Malala's father Ziauddin Yousafzai issued a message of gratitude on her behalf saying she wanted to thank well-wishers for helping her to survive and "stay strong".

Malala, 15, is undergoing treatment at the Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital. Her father, mother and two brothers meet Malala twice a day and have been housed locally.

"She wants me to tell everyone how grateful she is and is amazed that men, women and children from across the world are interested in her well-being," her father said in a statement issued by the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust.

"We deeply


feel the heart-touching good wishes of the people across the world of all castes, colours and creeds."

Malala has received thousands of gifts, cards and messages of support since arriving in Birmingham on October 15. More than 7,000 people have written messages to her on the Hospital's message board, expressing their love and support.

Among the gifts are pocket money "for sweets", the teenager's favourite CDs, school books, clothing, toys and jewellery, while whole classes of pupils have written letters and messages supporting Malala's campaign for girls' education, the hospital said.

Ziauddin said: "I am awfully thankful to all the peace- loving well-wishers who strongly condemn the assassination attempt on
Malala, who pray for her health and support the grand cause of peace, education, freedom of thought and freedom of expression."

Friday hasbeen declared Malala Day by former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown in his role as UN Special Envoy for Global Education. Brown will be holding meetings with senior Pakistani officials today.

He will deliver a petition containing more than a million signatures to President Asif Ali
Zardari, urging him to make education a reality for all Pakistani children, irrespective of gender.

The Hospital said: "Malala continues to make satisfactory progress at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. The medical team supervising her care described her condition as comfortable and stable."

The hospital today released photos of Malala sitting and reading a book.

On October 9, Pakistani Taliban militants, linked to al-Qaeda, shot Malala in the head in her hometown in northwest Pakistan's Swat valley.

In the deserts of Pakistan, Malala is like the finest flower

sinking boat by helicopter crews told of panic as passengers heard a loud bang and then the ship suddenly lurched over, sending furniture and people sliding to the port side.

"As the ferry was shaking and tilting, we all tripped and bumped into each another," student Lim Hyung Min said, retelling who he and others jumped into the sea in life jackets and swam to a rescue boat.

The water "was so cold. ... I was hurrying, thinking that I wanted to live," Lim said.

A coast guard official said the death toll was now confirmed at seven, but that is expected to rise sharply because the missing have now spent more than a day either trapped in the ferry or in the cold seawater.

Nearly 290 people had yet to beaccounted for. Families of the missing stood at a dock, crying and holding one another. Boats circled the sunken ferry into the night, illuminated by red flares.

The Sewol set off from Incheon, a city in South Korea's northwest, on Tuesday night for a 14-hour journey to the tourist island of Jeju with 462 people aboard. Most of the passengers were students from a high school in Ansan, just south of Seoul.

The 480-foot-long ship was authorized to carry more than 900 people and 180 vehicles, according to Korea news media reports.

Although the cause of the disaster had not been determined officially, the ferry was sailing along a different route to make up for time lost because of heavy fog, Korean television station Arirang said.

Setting off later than expected, the
