I think Cruz will have a big game. They may have a special game plan for him though because of how good he is though. Anyways, Nate Clements is the Bengals' nickel corner, and he's really slow for the position. If he's lined up in the slot on Cruz I expect big things from Victor. I'm worried about their pass rush though. With Diehl at RT who knows what will happen. Geno Atkins is one of the top DTs in the league, especially in terms of pass rushing. He's got 8 sacks now I think. Thankfully, I saw some improvement from Webster last night. We will need him to cover AJ Green. The dude is scary good. He's 6'4" first of all, he couldTrump disgusted me. I was reminded of the late Bush years, when all liberal media was united in their opposition to the president, except now I saw their hypocrisy: the massive inequities of the Obama years were (and are) still fresh in my mind.

I realized that Elizabeth Warren is an opportunistic fraud. I saw Bernie Sanders stumping for Hillary Clinton, the epitome of everything he was supposed to stand against. I heard Cenk Uygur defend capitalism. Most of the regular hosts of The Young Turks, actually, began to disappoint me on a regular basis.

With one notable exception. Jimmy Dore, comedian and political satirist, refused throughout the general election to balk at Trump and let up on the Democrats. He refused to tone down his criticisms of the status

My son, who shares my name, is now 28. During the past 10 years, he has been stopped by police at least 30 times.

In Detroit, he was stopped while driving, while sitting in his car, while coming out of a store, while parked on the street with his lady friend, while standing on the sidewalk and most recently while walking home from work.

He has also been stopped by Redford, Southfield, Dearborn, Ferndale, Southfield, Lathrup Village, Novi, Michigan State Police and Westland.

I have to ask him: "Why do you


think you get stopped by every police agency?"

His words to me were simple: "Dad, it's because I am black."

Officer Baron Coleman: "America has a long way to travel to get to fair play when it comes to police and black people."

Now I know racial profiling and police brutality do exist. My son fits the bill of what police profile -- young, black, wearing a hoodie, smoking (so it must be weed).

He drives a old-school car. He has been ticketed, towed, arrested and even stranded by police.

He has been disrespected, laughed at and harassed by multiple agencies.

He was stopped in Detroit numerous times and treated very badly while with his date. He was stopped while walking in Detroit because he was wearing black, his security uniform.

He was actually stoppedIt's believed the term "graphic novel" was coined by Richard Kyle in an 1964 essay, though it didn't gain popularity until the late 1970s with the publication of Will Eisner's A Contract with God.

While some in the comics community object to the term, calling it unnecessary, few can argue against the genre's popularity. Our graphics novel collection has grown so much, we moved it out of the nonfiction stacks and into its own shelving area on the Library's second floor.

Our nominations for the Best Graphic Novels of the year include both children and adult titles. Children titles can be found in the Children's Room.

John Thompson Is The Club’s Special Guest For Bristol City

Former Captain John Thompson returns on Sunday, August 31 as the club’s special guest and will be entertaining sponsors and supporters in the Wheeler’s Suite before the game...

The former Republic of Ireland international spent three seasons at Meadow Lane, famously lifting the League Two trophy as captain in 2010 and also in the same year helping the side reach the fifth round of the FA Cup.

He also played for Nottingham Forest and Mansfield Town before retiring due to injury in 2013.Set

In mathematics, a set can be thought of as any collection of distinct objects considered as a whole. Although this appears to be a simple idea, sets are one of the most important and fundamental concepts in modern mathematics. The study of the structure of possible sets, set theory, is rich and ongoing.

Having only been invented at the end of the 19th century, set theory is now a ubiquitous part of mathematics education, being introduced from primary school in many countries. Set theory can be viewed as the foundation upon which nearly all of mathematics can be derived.

Naive set theory

At the beginning of his work Beiträge zur Begründung der transfiniten Mengenlehre, Georg Cantor, the principal creator of set theory, made the following definition of a set:

The little girl in the programme also had devoted and concerned educated parents who spoke to her, sang to her, read with her, so she was one of the ones in whom it was purely a genetic issue. She also had been getting by by doing what your husband and son do - using their intelligence to see that the word they are reading can't be right, and using a mixture of guesswork and experience to find the right word. But unlike them she was only 6 or 7, so her valiant attempts were failing her more often than not - she just didn't know enoughSome local craft brewery owners are renewing their call for open beer borders across Canada after the Alberta government was ordered to scrap a grant program that was aimed at levelling the playing field.

"Level the playing field, may the best beer win," said Charlie Bredo, co-founder of Troubled Monk Brewery in Red Deer.

On Monday, a panel found the province non-compliant under the Agreement of Internal Trade and gave the government six months to repeal or amend the Alberta Small Brewers Development Program (ASBD) which provided a rebate to small brewers.

On Tuesday, Bredo said the loss of the grant highlights why there needs to be a "truly open market" across the country.

"Everyone should be on a level playing field here," he said, "and if Ontario beer can come into


Alberta, we've got to make it equal."

Monday's ruling was the result of a complaint lodged two years ago by Calgary beer importer Artisan Ales Consulting Ltd., which said the grant program put their company at a disadvantage and reduced sales.

Jason Kenney, leader of Alberta's official Opposition United Conservative Party, said he would favour ending the Alberta subsidies, calling for "free beer trade all across Canada."

But local producers say while Alberta's borders are open, that's not the case for other provinces.

It's still not a level playing field across the board. - Aric Johnson, Folding Mountain Brewing

"It's still not a level playing field across the board," said Aric Johnson, co-owner of Folding Mountain Brewing located near Jasper National Park.

He notes that a B.C. company can sell beer in Alberta withouthas come up with a series of creative protectionist measures which have resulted in Alberta product being blocked from getting into get into other markets.

"Other producers build their companies to a certain point in their protected markets and then flood ours," she said.

Notley noted the province has several months to decide how to respond to the trade ruling striking down Alberta's rebates for craft brewers, in a way that acknowledges the rules but continues to support local producers "because I'm very proud of the progress that they've made."

Bryan Ward (priest)

Born Walter Bryan Ward (7 August 1906 – 27 August 1989), Bryan Ward was an Australian clergyman active in the mid-20th century with the Anglican Church of Australia. He served as a Royal Australian Air Force Chaplain during World War II.

Early life
Ward was born in Sydney the third son of C B Ward of Summer Hill, New South Wales, and attended Newington College commencing in 1921. At the end of 1924, Ward was named equal Dux of the College and received the Schofield Scholarship and the Halse Rogers Prize. He went up to the University of Sydney and in 1928 graduated as a Bachelor of Arts.

Working life
Upon graduation, Ward taught at All Souls', Charters Towers, before being admitted as a deacon at St James' Cathedral, Townsvilledifferently--just as there is food porn, wedding porn, and real estate porn, the American Girls catalog, with its ninety-dollar girls (accessories sold separately) and come-hither-and-buy-buy-buy-me design and lighting, is toy porn.

I took a Visual Anthropology seminar this past few months, studying the history of ethnographic film -- beginning basically with Nanook Of The North, on through Les Maitres Fous, and Dead Birds -- up through Tongues Untied and Reassemblage. Lots of critical theory reading, and anthro analysis with long words and convoluted sentences. There's a fascinating correlation between Ethnographic Film and Pornographic Film: consider how "natives"/"savages" are often naked in ethnographic films (New Guinea tribesman or Amazonian Indians) -- just as in pornographic film, actors' bodies are objectified and presented as "other" than subjectively embodied human being.

I'm guessing they would want to go Japanese rather than Chinese--but maybe they could have a Japanese girl somehow living in San Francisco's Chinatown during the earthquake (thus providing the necessary historical moment) and have her desperately running back into her family's house for her beloved . . . KIMONO.

When my daughter was little, say 8 or 9, she loved her AG Kirsten. Her aunt (jealous of my girlchild) gave it to her. My daughter then saved her pennies to buy TWO more dolls. I wouldn't pay for them.

When my daughter packed up some of her things during the pre-college preparation days, she looked at these barely-touched dolls and sighed. "How could I have wasted so much money on these?" No comment.

I believe my daughter will be doingjust the same. At least she will get some of her money back.

OH, Debbie, we went to the AG store once and found it terrifying. Girls and dolls dressed the same---very Stepfordian mothers with their equally Stepfordian daughters. Nary a boy in sight. Piles of money changing hands.

In Nashville, where I live, flying to Chicago for a birthday party at the AG store is quite a common happening. When the kids return, I quiz them about the trip to Chicago. I hear nothing about the Art Institute, Garrett's popcorn, a trip to Wrigley, the elevator ride up a skyscraper...nope, just fly to one of America's most stunning cities, settle into a hotel with a stack of movies on DVD, go to the AG store, swim in the pool,


my friends had several), but was not allowed to have one. I got books instead (and see where it got me?)

I think the most interesting thing I said in the post was:

I recently had the ...er... pleasure (?) of "playing" with an AG doll with an Israeli girl who was visiting my aunt. She is the daughter of a wealthy family friend, and she was the first in her class (she told me with pride) to have an American Girl doll. Then came X and then came Y. She went to the AG store in NY and bought such-and-such... oh, you can imagine the atrocities. As a student in Israel, she had no reference for any of the "historical" aspects of the dolls. And though many can clearly10 minutes and had no desire to reread them. So I stopped and went to the library instead.

Although children can be sucked in by marketing, they should be able to figure out the value of a dollar and of quality literature on their own. Or maybe they really are just getting dumber.

suggesting that the Siboney based themselves around the eastern caves.

By the time Christopher Columbus landed here in June 1494, on his second trip to the Americas, the Siboney had disappeared. Though Columbus claimed it for Spain, the Spanish Crown had little interest in the island over the next four centuries. Neither the mangrove-webbed northern coastline nor the excessively shallow southern bays afforded a natural harbour to match the likes of Havana, and the Golfo de Batabanó, separating the island from mainland Cuba, was too shallow for the overblown Spanish galleons to navigate.

Nueva Gerona

Isla de la Juventud’s only sizeable town, NUEVA GERONA lies in the lee of the Sierra de las Casas, on the bank of the Río Las Casas. Whether you travel by planeexploring the hillsides, beaches and museums around Nueva Gerona can easily keep you occupied for a couple of days.

Architecturally, Nueva Gerona floats in a no-man’s-land between old-style colonial buildings and modern urbanity. Many of its concrete one- and two-storey buildings are painted in pastel colours, and its few older buildings, complete with stately colonnades and red-tiled roofs, add a colonial touch.

Nueva Gerona’s heart lies on Calle José Martí (also known as Calle 39 and often referred to simply as Martí), the amiable central street that gives the town its defining character and which holds the majority of shops and restaurants. It’s a good-looking strip, with the verandas of the low buildings offering welcome respite from the sun. At the northern end of the pedestrianized section, sometimes referred to

On February 13, 1954, Batista made a state visit to the Presidio Modelo. As he and his entourage passed their window, the rebels broke into a revolutionary anthem. As a result, Castro was confined alone in the room that now opens off the main entrance but was at the time next to the morgue, within full view of the corpses. For the early part of his forty-week sentence he was forbidden any light. Despite the prohibition, a crafty home-made lamp enabled Castro to read from his small library and to perfect the speech he had made at his defence, which was later published by the underground press as LaFor indispensable reporting on the coronavirus crisis, the election, and more, subscribe to the Mother Jones Daily newsletter.

Fourteen months into his tenure as national security adviser, John Bolton has become a central figure in the run-up to what could be the most extensive American military offensive since the invasion of Iraq. Tensions between Iran and the United States have been high for weeks, beginning with a menacing video Bolton released in February targeting the Iranian supreme leader and reached a boil last week when, according the New York Times, he ordered the Pentagon to prepare to send as many as 120,000 troops to the Middle East to counter Iran.

His saber-rattling in the Middle East comes on the heels of his recent and unsuccessful public campaign to topple President


of regime change in Iran, an enemy he has been fixated on for decades. As early as May 2002, Bolton considered Iran’s “ongoing interest in nuclear weapons” a threat to the United States on par with North Korea and Iraq. Then the top arms control official in the State Department, Bolton continued to emphasize the threat of Iran to American security and the security of Israel, even during the lead-up to the invasion of Iraq. In February 2003, he assured Prime Minister Ariel Sharon during a visit to Israel that “it would be necessary” for the United States to “deal with” threats from Iran, Syria, and North Korea after ousting Saddam Hussein. The prior year, a senior British official told Newsweek that President George W. Bush’s national securityspeech in Paris to tens of thousands of supporters of the Mujahideen-e-Khalq, a group of Iranian exiles who were responsible for a series of bombings in Iran prior to the revolution, including one that killed six Americans. The MEK supported the Iranian Revolution and were cheerleaders for the takeover of the American embassy in Tehran, which led to the kidnapping of more than 50 American citizens for over a year, but ultimately broke with the ruling clerics and went into exile. The group is considered by some Iran experts to be a cult and, for more than a decade, was listed as a terrorist group by the United States. Bolton has been attending the MEK’s annual event for at least a decade, the New Yorker has reported.

abrogated “at the earliest opportunity,” Bolton wrote in August 2017 in the National Review. “We can no longer wait to eliminate the threat posed by Iran.”

The hawk in Trump’s Situation Room

Since joining the Trump administration last year as national security adviser, replacing HR McMaster, who urged Trump to maintain the Iran deal, Bolton has had some success in escalating the pressure on Tehran and reducing its sources of revenue through sanctions. Last year, his efforts to persuade Trump to leave the nuclear deal finally succeeded, although several European allies remained in it. He warned Iran of “hell to pay” if it crosses the US, and proclaimed that an American military presence would remain in Syria indefinitely until “Iranian proxies and militias” left the country. Even though Trump ignoreddiscussed the name of the petitioner with other witnesses prior to the line-up at which she identified the petitioner who was required to state his name at the line-up.

Yet, at the hearing on the motion to suppress, the same witness testified that the name of the petitioner was never mentioned prior to the line-up.

The Court believes that its initial assessment of the line-up procedure (Magistrate's Report & Recommendation adopted as the order of the Court, pages 12-13) was correct, but involves an issue which deserves appellate review.

Women of color bear the burden of eviction in other communities as well. In Milwaukee, women renters from Black neighborhoods faced eviction more than 1.8 times as often as male renters from the same neighborhoods and more than five times as often as women renters from white neighborhoods. Other studies demonstrated that people of color made up about 80 percent of those facing eviction in several cities, and women were 62 percent of the tenants facing eviction in Chicago and 70 percent of the tenants in Philadelphia.

While mass incarceration continues to remove African-American men from their communities, eviction screenings prevent African-American women from entering many neighborhoods, reproducing economic and social inequality for communities ofcolor. As Harvard professor Matthew Desmond has observed, “Poor black men are locked up while poor black women are locked out.”

Today, the ACLU, ACLU of Washington, Northwest Justice Project, and Virginia Poverty Law Center filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of Ms. Smith. The complaint alleges that the management company violated the Fair Housing Act when it refused to consider her application because its blanket screening policy disproportionately harms African-Americans, particularly African-American women. As far as we know, it is the first case challenging an eviction screening policy under civil rights law. It is also the first under the Fair Housing Act that focuses on intersectional race and sex housing discrimination, highlighting how African-American women are especially impacted by the use of these blanket screening policies.

Gusty winds blew across the Bay Area on Saturday, knocking out power for tens of thousands of people and prompting the National Weather Service to issue red-flag fire warnings for areas above 1,000 feet of elevation with gusts of more than 50 mph.

Winds reached up to 35 mph Saturday, causing 30,000 people to lose power throughout the day. By evening, the gusts had subsided across the region and power was restored for the majority of customers, said PG&E spokeswoman Karly Hernandez.

Von Bismarck added that the investigations found Chinese traders were often aware that the wood they bought was illegal.

Trade in rosewood has been banned since March 2010 when the "transition authority" — the group that seized control of the country in March 2009 — established a moratorium on the logging and trade of precious hardwoods in response to international outcry. Nevertheless recent reports indicate logging continues in Masoala and Makira, rainforest areas recognized as a Global World Heritage Site.

In its report, EIA and Global Witness say there are encouraging signs that


latest issue of the journal Madagascar Conservation & Development provides a comprehensive look into Madagascar's illegal logging trade, which has generated more than $200 million for a small group of individuals over the past year. The trade, which spikes just prior to national elections and may be a source of funds for ruling politicians, has taken a heavy toll on the lowland rainforests of Madagascar, with targeted species now at risk of extinction.

(06/21/2010) New eyewitness reports indicate continued logging of Madagascar's Masoala National Park for rosewood despite a government "moratorium" on logging and timber exports. A source near Marofinaritra, a town between Masoala and Antalaha, reports heavy night-time movement of trucks carrying illegally logged timber from the park. The wood is believed to be destined for Antalaha, aregional hub for the rosewood trade.

(03/25/2010) Under mounting pressure over illegal logging of its national parks, Madagascar's transitional government on Wednesday reinstated a ban on rosewood logging and exports. The decree (no. 2010-141), which prohibits all exports of rosewood and precious timber for two to five years, was announced during a council meeting held yesterday at Ambohitsorohitra Palace in Antananarivo, Madagascar's capital city.

(02/10/2010) In the aftermath of a military coup last March, Madagascar's rainforests have been pillaged for precious hardwoods, including rosewood and ebonies. Tens of thousands of hectares have been affected, including some of the island's most biologically-diverse national parks: Marojejy, Masoala, and Makira. Illegal logging has also spurred the rise of a commercial bushmeat trade. Hunters are now slaughtering rare and gentle lemurs for restaurants.

(01/28/2010) Analysts


in Europe and the United States are using high resolution satellite imagery to identify and track shipments of timber illegally logged from rainforest parks in Madagascar. The images could be used to help prosecute traders involved in trafficking and put pressure on companies using rosewood from Madagascar.

(01/27/2010) Madagascar is renowned for its biological richness. Located off the eastern coast of southern Africa and slightly larger than California, the island has an eclectic collection of plants and animals, more than 80 percent of which are found nowhere else in the world. But Madagascar's biological bounty has been under siege for nearly a year in the aftermath of a political crisis which saw its president chased into exile at gunpoint; a collapse in its civil service, including its park managementHezbollah released a video on Friday documenting the 2006 abduction of Israeli soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev, which led to the outbreak of the Second Lebanon War.

In the video, which was broadcast on the Beirut-based Al Mayadeen television, a group of Hezbollah operatives is seen penetrating the Israeli-Lebanese border fence and walking toward the road where Israeli soldiers are on patrol.

The Hezbollah operatives are then seen approaching a jeep, with Goldwasser and Regev presumably in it, after it was hit by an anti-tank missile. Hezbollah operatives are then seen opening the door of the jeep and removing the two soldiers, but then the frame freezes. Goldwasser and Regev themselves are not seen in the video.

The video was broadcast in a special program that marked six years since


the Second Lebanon War on Al Mayadeen, which is a new news channel that began operating this month.

Ghassan bin Jiddo, the Lebanese reporter who broadcast the video and who is also the owner of the Al Mayadeen television channel, is known to be close to Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah.

Jiddo said that Imad Mughniyeh personally oversaw the abduction and was present during the operation. Mughniyeh, a senior Hezbollah leader and one of the most wanted terrorists by the United States and Israel, was killed in 2008 by a car bomb in Syria.

Hezbollah's capture of Goldwasser and Regev on the northern border sparked the 34-day Second Lebanon War in 2006. Their bodies were exchanged in July 2008 in a prisoner swap for five Lebanese prisoners held by Israel.Hundreds of mourners have gathered to attend the funeral of a Polish lorry driver killed in the Berlin Christmas market attack.

Lukasz Urban, 37, has been described as the first victim of the attack on December 19 that killed a total of 12 people and injured at least 50.

He was waiting to deliver a shipment of steel in Berlin when his vehicle was hijacked by 24-year-old Tunisian national Anis Amri.

Mr Urban was shot and his body was found in the cab of the lorry.

There was initial speculation that Mr Urban had fought Amri seconds before his vehicle drove into the crowd, but this has since been disproved following a postmortem examination confirming the Polish driver had been shot several hours before.

Polish President Andrzej Duda joined Mr Urban's family, friends


and neighbours, gathering with them in the village church in Banie, near the Polish-German border.

A day earlier, the president's spokesman said Mr Duda would attend the funeral to express his “huge respect for Lukasz Urban, who in the eyes of many Poles is definitely a hero, a courageous person.”

Several other Polish political officials and a representative of the German Embassy in Poland were also in attendance.

A letter from Prime Minister Beata Szydlo was read out in which she described her “great pain and sadness” and expressed her sympathy to Mr Urban's family.

Berlin's Muslim community sends message of peace and solidarityafter Christmas market attack

“Poles have fallen victim to terrorist attacks carried out by Islamic fundamentalists but the tragedy that happened in Berlin is unique when it comes to the ruthlessness and cruelty of the perpetrator,” Ms Szydlo said.

A donation page set up for the family of Mr Urban by a British lorry driver raised some £45,000 in its first day and has since surpassed £178,000.

At Mr Urban’s funeral service, bishop Henryk Wejman described him as a man who was conscientious in his work.

“His willingness to work and serve others awakened the trust of other people and openness to others,” he said in his homily.

As the Mass was winding down, the president bowed his head before Mr Urban's coffin before approaching his wife and teenage son, whispering to them,


Sudabattula, now 23, vividly remembers that some of the children were missing limbs, and used old lawn chairs with bicycle tires attached as wheelchairs.

“But most of them were still laughing and smiling and happy to meet us,” said Sudabattula, who was born in the United States.

After returning home to West Jordan, Utah, where his parents had immigrated three decades ago, Sudabattula often thought about the cheerful children in those lawn chairs.

When word got out about the group’s efforts, Sudabattula and his friends set up a website, and the phone started ringing, not only with offers of donations from families, care centers and metal scrap yards, but also of help.

The nonprofit now operates out of a free storage unit in Salt Lake County and donated office space at the University of Utah.

Among members of the PEERS group, social skills, frequency of social engagement and social skills knowledge improved significantly, and autism symptoms related to social responsiveness diminished.

In addition, 16 weeks after the treatment ended, most of the gains were still evident, and the researchers observed new improvements in social communication, assertion, responsibility and empathy -- a result the scientists attributed to the involvement of caregivers as social coaches.

In 2012, Laugeson and colleagues reported similar improvements in social skills in a study focusing on adolescents with autism.

Presentation of the city

Cesson-Sévigné is a city of 16,000 inhabitants,
located on the river Vilaine, a few kilometers east of Rennes, The
Breton name of the city is Saozon-Sevigneg. The science and
technology park Atalante is partially located in
Cesson-Sévigné. Its main area of research is
telecommunications.

The city is named after two feudal families mentioned for the
first time in the XIth century. The official name of
Cesson-Sévigné was acknowledged in 1921.

In 1644, Henri de Sévigné married Marie de
Rabutin-Chantal (1629-1696), later famous as Madame la Marquise de
Sévigné. Henri died seven years later in a duel and
Madame de Sévigné never married again. Her beloved
daughter Françoise-Marguerite married in 1669 Count de
Grignan, Leutenant-General of Provence,
and moved with him to Provence two years later. Between 1671 and
1696, Madame de Sévigné wrote more than 1,500 letters,
mostly to her daughter. Shewrote the same way she spoke, that is
with a very lively style. Her letters were a mixture of Court gossip
columns, confidences, fears, jokes and literary criticism. She spent
only a limited part of her life in the court of
Versailles, where she was isolated due to
her unfailing support to Surintendant Fouquet, Louis XIV's rival and
victim. However, her letters give a very interesting picture of the
ordinary life in the Court (as opposed to the other great memorialist
of that time, Saint-Simon, who was much more interested in the
corridors of power). Madame de Sévigné's letters became
rapidly popular and were rapidly disseminated everywhere, some of
them receiving a nickname related to their content.

The sustainability and effectiveness of this model are highly debatable. On the one hand, the NSS is fraught with inherent challenges, including high turnover and communication costs. NSS employees are not necessarily domain experts; it takes a while to train them. Hence, the 1-year tenure may not be enough for a reasonable return on the time and resources invested in their training---particularly, the IT cadre, which is disproportionately comprised of temporary workers. On the other hand, the staffing shortage and workload pressure would have been dire without the support of NSS employees. In addition, the NSS employees cost far less

Maria Bochkareva, a pugnacious, formidable and semiliterate peasant who, in World War I, became one of Russia’s first female army officers and led an all-women unit into battle on the Eastern Front, died on May 16, 1920. She was 30.

She was executed by a Bolshevik firing squad.

For a brief period in a life of outsize impact, Bochkareva was an international sensation: a hardened military veteran whose dedication to Russia’s continuing war efforts attracted the attention of Russian politicians, world leaders, journalists and prominent women’s rights activists. She met with President Woodrow Wilson, King George V ofEngland and suffragists like Emmeline Pankhurst. Theodore Roosevelt gave her $1,000 of his Nobel Peace Prize money.

But Bochkareva was on the losing side of history, supporting an unpopular war that ultimately led to her downfall.

Her meteoric rise to fame was especially astounding considering her humble upbringing. She was born into a poor family in July 1889 and raised in the Siberian town of Tomsk. Her father was an alcoholic who beat her, her three sisters and her mother.


March 28, 2016. Ole Miss (15-11, 1-6 SEC) took the first lead of the game in the top of the first but a solo home run by sophomore Bailey Hemphill in the bottom-half of the inning tied it before a four-run third and eight-run fourth put the game away. Sophomore Elissa Brown set the tone at the leadoff spot, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored. Senior Demi Turner and junior Reagan Dykes each had multi-hit efforts, combining to drive in three runs, and senior Sydney Booker blasted her first home run of the season, a three-run shot in the fourth inning. In the circle, junior Courtney Gettins (9-2) allowed just the one run on four hits over 5.0 innings.

Ole Miss started the top of the first with back-to-backa five-star film - and most of those inaccuracies add time that makes the film run far too long.
The kids' story is really all you need, so all the extra stuff [Sandy Koufax was in his second year with a record of 10-11 in 1957 - hardly a star; the stretch hadn't been popularized - and was never used as a regular thing; and no southern Little League team had any black players in 1957 - as just three examples] is wasted space.

the planet, and Mega Man was one of its marquee titles.

The games in the original Mega Man series were great for reasons that don’t apply in 2016. They were an extra-tough challenge but – the important bit – the controls were beautifully-engineered, almost the whole game was open from the off, and the rock-papers-scissors nature of bosses let you work out new paths over time. The games are designed to be replayed, many times. Mega Man is of an age where, not only was everything much more basic, but there were a lot less games. As technology and the industry flowered, what was a great design in the 1980s eventually fossilised.

Mighty No. 9 was marketed on this specific nostalgia, bringing the Mega Man you know and love intojust turning the crank on the rules, but also stagecraft and drama. Just because you're describing an small brass ever-burning lantern doesn't mean you should take a break from using pacing and audience-management skills. Put as much work into creating an engaging moment when introducing the lantern as you would when describing the group's first sight of the hellish fumes and gouts of flame issuing from the cratered lands around the dragon's lair. Make the time spent on describing the item count.
Don't rely on the players to record the item accurately. Either your description will engage them or it won't. Good note-taking won't do anyone any good unless the player already cares about the item – and if they do care, their notes aren't going to be necessary


EDITOR'S NOTE: Orlando's mayor on Monday revised the death toll in the nightclub shooting to 49, from 50. The 50th body was identified as gunman Omar Mateen.

The gunman who killed at least 50 people at an Orlando nightclub early Sunday was a licensed security officer who claimed more than once that he had connections to Islamic terror groups, Fox News has learned, as the killer's ex-wife reportedly said he was unstable and would beat her.

Investigators identified the shooter as 29-year-old Omar Mateen, a Muslim who had a Statewide Firearms License. They said he lived in Port St. Lucie and nearby Fort Pierce. His father, Seddique Mateen, announced he was running for president of Afghanistan sometime around May 2015.

Omar Mateen "was not a stable person," his ex-wife told TheWashington Post, which did not name her. "He beat me. He would just come home and start beating me up because the laundry wasn’t finished or something like that." She said he worked as a guard at a facility for juvenile delinquents and frequently exercised at a nearby gym in his spare time.

His ex-wife was born in Uzbekistan. They were married in St. Lucie County in 2009 and reportedly divorced in 2011. The shooter remarried at least once after the divorce and had a three-year-old son.

Security firm G4S confirmed he'd been an employee since September 2007. "We are cooperating fully with all law enforcement authorities, including the FBI, as they conduct their investigation," company executives said in a statement.

"The fact that this shooting took place during Ramadan and


that ISIS leadership in Raqqa has been urging attacks during this time, that the target was an LGBT night club during Pride, and – if accurate – that according to local law enforcement the shooter declared his allegiance to ISIS, indicates an ISIS-inspired act of terrorism," House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Adam Schiff, D-Calif., announced. The gunman had Facebook and Myspace accounts, a counterterrorism source told Fox News.

Federal investigators were scouring Omar Mateen's social media profile and looking into his father's background, as well as possible connections to an outside group.

Seddique Mateen told NBC News his son got angry after seeing two men kissing in Miami a couple of months ago, suggesting that may have helped trigger the attack at the gay nightclub. "We were in Downtown Miami,Bayside, people were playing music. And he saw two men kissing each other in front of his wife and kid and he got very angry... They were kissing each other and touching each other and he said, 'Look at that. In front of my son they are doing that.' And then we were in the men's bathroom and men were kissing each other."

The gunman's father claimed the massacre "had nothing to do with religion."

The elder Mateen once voiced support for the Taliban and denounced Pakistan while hosting a television show on a California-based channel called Payam-e-Afghan, the Washington Post reported.

"Our brothers in Waziristan, our warrior brothers in Taliban movement, and national Afghan Taliban are rising up,” he says in one of dozens of videos posted on YouTube under


his name. “Inshallah the Durand line issue will be solved soon.”

The "Durand line issue" refers to the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan and is a sensitive subject especially for members of the Pashtun ethnic group, according to the Post.

Omar Mateen was trained in firearms. Police said he killed each of his victims with an AR-15-type assault rifle but also carried a handgun. He had no apparent criminal history, sources told CBS News.

The shooter also worked in security at Indian River State College where he received an associate's degree in criminal justice, according to his father.

The ex-wife told the Post she met Omar Mateen online about eight years ago and moved to Florida to marry him. She claimed he wasn't very religious and showed no indications he'd been influencedby radical Islam. "He seemed like a normal human being," she said, adding, "He was a very private person."

The marriage lasted just a few months before her parents learned about the apparent beatings and pulled her out of the house, the Post reported. The ex-wife said she cut off all contact with Omar Mateen at that point.

The shooter was born in New York to Afghan parents. Both he and his father were registered Democrats.

Police worked to secure the van they said the shooter drove to the nightclub. Sheriff's investigators also evacuated an apartment building in Fort Pierce where they said he lived. Fort Pierce is roughly 25 minutes north of Port St. Lucie and nearly two hours southeast of Orlando.

A year has passed since Germany opened its doors to hundreds of thousands of refugees and Chancellor Angela Merkel uttered her famous mantra - "Wir schaffen das," or "We can do this."

Her critics at home have grown louder over the past year with proof that migrants have overburdened the system, right-wing violence has worsened and Islamist terrorism has finally arrived.

But how has the refugee crisis impacted Germany's international reputation as a steadfast ally, an economic powerhouse and a country with a troubled history?

Finally, a little less European 'hypocrisy'

Europe watched the refugee crisis slowly heat up over several years as unrest and dire poverty in the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa drove people to desperate measures in search of safe haven. Summer 2015 was the boiling point.

Regular reportsof migrant deaths at sea and on land combined with Hungary's violations of refugee rights prompted Germany, in coordination with Austria, to suspend Dublin Regulations for Syrian refugees last August. The move freed Syrians from the asylum process in their EU country of entry; it was also viewed as a welcome sign to refugees everywhere.

Germany's reputation subsequently improved across the Middle East. According to Mehran Kamrava, who heads the Center for International and Regional Studies at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service in Qatar, European countries are often considered hypocrites who lecture the Middle East about human rights.

Welcoming refugees and migrants "blunted" the hypocrisy argument, at least for Germany, Kamrava told DW.

important EU trade partner with both admiration and hesitancy.

Beijing's main worry is the correlation between the refugee policy and weakened security, says Xuewu Gu of the Center for Global Studies at the University of Bonn. It considers Germany a key player in ensuring European cohesion and, thus, a stronger Europe that could help weaken US dominance.

Hillary Clinton, the possible next US president, worked with Merkel as Obama's Secretary of State

The Obama administration also views Berlin as its most reliable European partner at a time when the US president needs “the cohesion of the West to undergird a lot of policy actions that need to be taken,” says Cathryn Clüver, the director of Harvard's Future of Diplomacy Project.

Not only has Barack Obama praised Germany for "being on the rightside of history," but the American public broadly appreciates the humanitarian gesture, seeing an overlap with its own migration past.

When it comes to the refugee deal with Turkey, though, China and US are skeptical. Gu says Beijing sees Merkel's push for the deal as "unwise."

The good, the bad and the Merkel of German leadership

To the world, Merkel is a fascinating politician whose name become synonymous with Germany. She is, for some, the quiet preacher's daughter with a conscience, the meticulous physicist, the cool "empress of Europe." To others, she's a power-drunk fool.

Her three governments have shaped Germany's reputation in the EU over the past decade. Facing national elections in 2017, her third time in office could be her last depending on developments in the refugee crisis.

Trojan Horse

The Paris Agreement’s implicit reliance on political activism and the related non-hierarchical governance by the courts – a direct result of efforts to ensure the participation of the United States and other major-emitting Parties – reflects the steep price the international community has had to pay to claim victory at COP-21. At its most fundamental level, this constitutes a threat to constitutional government, the separation of powers, and representative democracy. It may well result in an unconstitutional usurpation of power by activist groups and unelected and unaccountable judges, and, thus, will undermine legislative power and the role of positive law in deciding legal disputes.

In deciding on ratification, countries should consider not only the need for international coordination of climate policy, but also the protectionEvaluation of New Oomycota Fungicides for Management of Phytophthora Root Rot of Citrus in California.
Phytophthora root rot, caused by several species of Phytophthora, is an important disease of citrus in California and other growing regions.

how simplistic and predictable it would turn out to be. I had only watched the first proper trailer, and had in my mind the general direction the story would take. The direction, it turned out, was exactly as expected, with no deviation whatsoever. The story of the human race trying to move on an indigenous population in order to make use of localised natural resources is nothing new, and has been explored more fully in an episode of Stargate SG1, amongst numerous other places. Along with that, it takes a particular talent to turn the serious issue of mass genocide into a poorly executed love story.

Which brings me to my next issue with Avatar. Give or take a couple of plot devices, it feels very much like awith woefully two dimensional characters?

The gruff Colonel Quaritch (HeyUGuys interview with Stephen Lang here), obsessed with the annihilation of a species, would have been the most shallow character in any other movie, but here at least he has the courage of his convictions. What about the abrupt mid-mission turn by Michelle Rodriguez’ Trudy? Where did that come from? Even Sully himself turns on a dime. We all knew it was coming except him. In his Avatar he was having the time of his life, yet in the lab showed no conflict over the mission he was carrying out, the double life he was leading, until he made the sudden u-turn in just one short scene.

This flaw may not have been purely a fault of the script. After praise

Hackers on Friday made good on their threat to take down the 2014 World Cup site in Brazil.

Cauvery water: Monitoring Committee to meet on Oct 11

New Delhi: Amid water-sharing dispute between the two southern states, the Cauvery Monitoring Committee will meet here on October 11 to decide on the issue of release of water from Karnataka to Tamil Nadu after October 15.

The Cauvery River Authority (CRA) had recently directed Karnataka to release 9000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu on a daily basis between September 20 and October 15.

The Monitoring Committee will decide on the quantity of water to be released by Karnataka after October 15.

A central team is already visiting the two states to see water level in reservoirs, the condition of standing crops and water flow.

The visit will help the Cauvery Monitoring Committee to take a call on the issue of further releaseof water.

The CRA chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had directed Karnataka to release 9000 cusecs of water to Tamil Nadu between September 20 and October 15. The CRA had authorised the Water Resources Secretary to decide on the amount of flow of water after October 15.

Tamil Nadu had demanded release of 24,000 cusecs of water, while the Supreme Court had asked Karnataka to release 10,000 cusecs. The CRA, after hearing the views of both the states, awarded release of 9,000 cusecs.


Israel 'shoots down Lebanon drone' Published duration 25 April 2013

image caption Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the incident as an "extremely grave" attempt to breach Israel's borders

Israel says one of its fighter jets has shot down an unmanned aircraft sent from Lebanon into Israeli airspace.

A missile brought down the drone about five miles (8km) west of the northern Israeli port of Haifa around 14:00 (11:00 GMT), officials said.

Reports suggest the drone could have been sent by Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which fought a month-long war against Israel in 2006.

But Hezbollah later denied it had been behind the flight.

It is the second time in seven months Israel has downed a drone from Lebanon.

Last October, the Israeli air force shot down an unmanned aircraft over the south of the country.

Israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu condemned the incident as an "extremely grave" attempt to breach Israel's borders.

"We will continue to do whatever it takes to protect the security of Israel's citizens," he said.

Mr Netanyahu was on his way to the north of Israel in a helicopter when the incident happened. His aircraft landed briefly until the Lebanese plane was shot down.

He recently warned that Hezbollah might try to take advantage of the instability in neighbouring Syria.

'Serious threat'

Israel says the latest aircraft was detected and monitored while still over Lebanon, and it was shot down by an air-to-air missile fired from an Israeli F-16 fighter jet, at an altitude of about 6,000ft (1,800 m).

"UAVs [unmanned aerial vehicles] pose a serious threat to the state of Israel's security," said an IDF report on


the incident . "The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to violate Israel's sovereignty or harm its security."

Israel's Channel 2 television station reported that the aircraft took off from near Sidon in southern Lebanon and was quickly detected by Israeli air defence units, with warplanes and fighter helicopters dispatched to confirm it was not a civilian aircraft.

The commander of Israel's air force was following the incident from the control room and - once it had been established the drone was a hostile aircraft - ordered it to be shot down, the station reported.

Israeli ships are attempting to recover the remains of the drone from the sea, to try and determine if it was meant to explode over an Israeli target or simply take pictures.Wing Commander End Run, the second novel in the Wing Commander series, will finally be available as an eBook starting July 3, 2018!

Three murders, a suicide and a rash of political appointments at universities have thrown Indian academia into an uproar against the conservative (right-wing) government. Prominent artists, writers, historians and scientists are speaking out against an intensifying climate of religious intolerance and political interference in academic affairs.

“What’s going on in this country is really dangerous,” says Rajat Tandon, a number theorist at Hyderabad Central University. Tandon is one of more than 100 prominent scientists, including many heads of institutions, who signed a statement protesting “the ways in which science and reason are being eroded in the country.” The statement cites the murder of three noted rationalists — men who had dedicated their lives to countering superstition and championed scientific thought — and whatDePape, Remi

Remi DePape, born on a farm two miles west of Swan Lake, was the eldest son of Charles and Marie DePape. In 1936, Remi married Angele Lombaert. They farmed in the Mariapolis region, and in later years, moved to Somerset.

Remi raised and showed Belgian Horses, as well as Shorthorn cattle. Public recognition of his experience and knowledge led to his being sought out as a judge for the local fairs. Poor health forced him off the farm, and he became an assistant grain buyer for the UGG. In 1951, he purchased and held, for seventeen years, a Massey-Harris franchise in Somerset. At the same time, he built a feed


mill to provide balanced rations for the livestock of the area. Always ready to promote the cause of agriculture, he helped the members of the Somerset 4H Seed Club.

In 1962, Somerset was incorporated. Remi was elected the mayor and served in that capacity for twenty-one years. He guided the town through the construction of water and sewage systems, the planning and construction of a Community Hall, the building of a Senior’s Home, and the opening of a friendship centre. For eleven years, he served on the local board of the Manitoba Housing and Mortgage Authority, and made available homes to low-income families. When he became a director of the Pembina Valley Development Corporation, he realized the effect of the abandonment of the rail service. Remi helped to organizethe Branch Line Association and served as its president. He spent much time studying the Morris-Hartney railway line: accumulating data, attending meetings, and presenting briefs. His efforts and leadership were commendable.

Remi DePape has contributed a lot to his community. Keenly interested in health and welfare, he became an active member of: the Lorne Memorial Hospital Board, the Recreation Commission of Somerset, and a church trustee. He helped the Curling Club as: secretary, carpenter, construction superintendent, and drawmaster. He was founding member of the Mariapolis Credit Union, served in many executive positions within the Order of the Elks, and was a director of the Manitoba Agricultural Hall of Fame, and the Union of Manitoba Municipalities. His dedication and uncompromising integrity has earned him the respect of all who know


The son of Hizbul Mujahideen chief Syed Salahuddin was arrested by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Thursday (30 August), Times of India has reported. Salahuddin has been branded a global terrorist by the United States Department of State. The son named Shakeel Yousuf is said to be a laboratory assistant at a government hospital.

Earlier in the year, another son of Salahuddin was arrested by the NIA in connection with the same probe.

Yousuf was arrested from Srinagar’s Rambagh locality and is said to be detained in connection with a 2011 terror funding case where he allegedly received money from his father.

The NIA had filed this case in 2011 within which it has been alleged that money was transferred from Pakistan to Jammu and Kashmir with Delhi being aninfections, male deaths are outpacing female deaths and the increased risk starts at age 50, according to a report from Italy's COVID-19 surveillance group.

The U.S. CDC hasn't yet released details. But one report about the first nearly 200 British patients admitted to critical care found about two-thirds were male.

One suspect: Globally, men are more likely to have smoked more heavily and for longer periods than women. The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control is urging research into smoking's connection to COVID-19.

Hormones may play a role, too. In 2017, University of Iowa researchers infected mice with SARS and, just like had happened in people, males were more likely to die. Estrogen seemed protective — when their ovaries were removed, deaths among female mice jumped, the team reported in


There are known convertible vehicles, which have two consecutive roof elements in the closed condition, one of which, the rear element, can swivel downwards about a transverse axis in relation to the car body, so that in the stowed-away condition it lies essentially horizontal and with its side facing the passenger compartment pointing upward when the roof is closed. The front roof element when opening the roof can swivel onto the rear roof element about a second transverse axis situated in the boundary region between the roof elements and in the opened state it is oriented in opposite sense to the former. In order to relay the opening and closing motion also to the front roof element, there are provided two rod elements on each side of thevehicle, extending from a main bearing in the car body and as far as the connection region of the rear and front roof elements, which open and close in the manner of a parallelogram when the roof is moved. The rod elements are often also known as guide rods and main guide rods. Due to their mutual opening and closing, these elements disturb the visual field during the opening process and there is a danger of getting caught between the rods as they close. Furthermore, a considerable expense must be incurred for paneling in the rear roof element to prevent at least the front rod of the two from being visible when the roof is closed.


Hello Eurovision, this is Australia calling — and we're coming for you!

Australia's Dami Im is through to the Eurovision grand final after singing to a global audience of more than 200 million.

Im performed Sound of Silence in the 18-nation semi-final this morning, earning one of the 10 remaining grand final spots.

She said she was so overwhelmed she began to cry after her performance.

"I was just blown away by the amazing crowd of Eurovision fans tonight," she said.

"My family were all getting up at 5:00am in Australia to watch me.

"I really don't cry often, but after my performance I burst into tears because everybody was just so supportive."

Im said Australians were longtime fans of the song contest.

"Australia has been a big fan of Eurovision since the 1980s, we lovewatching Eurovision. We just love the concept of coming together and playing music," she said.

"I am personally just very grateful to be able to be part of this."

Australia was drawn to perform in the first half of the Grand Final.

Im is now second favourite to win the final, according to Australian online bookmaker Sportsbet, which has slashed her odds to win from $19 to $5. Russia is the favourite.

She is the second Australian entry in the European song competition, after Guy Sebastian finished in the top five as a wildcard entry last year for his song Tonight Again.

Im's fans, who call themselves the Dami Army, were quick to celebrate.

At Im's old school in Logan, south of Brisbane, fans gathered to watch the semi-final result live, waving banners and


screaming their support.

"She's absolutely brilliant, absolutely brilliant," one fan said.

"And the way she's presenting it is fantastic, it's different to the others. And she's letting her voice do the talking."

Im, who shot to fame after winning X-Factor in 2013, told Eurovision hosts she moved to Australia from South Korea when she was nine years old and learned English by listening to the Spice Girls.

On Sunday morning, Im will join fellow semi-final winners from Latvia, Georgia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Serbia, Poland, Israel, Lithuania and Belgium.

Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom and hosts Sweden were already confirmed finalists.

Over the same time period, 11 of the 35 facilities participated in focus group discussions and a handful of in-depth interviews. In the 24 survey-only facilities, fieldwork generally was completed in one day per facility. In the 11 facilities where both survey and focus group data were gathered, fieldwork occurred over a two-day period per facility. The study included four categories of health workers (medical officers, matrons, registered nurses, and enrolled nurses) who had managed maternity wards or attended mothers for delivery and postnatal/neonatal care in the previous three months. In Namibia, enrolled nurses complete a two-year course of study, and registered nurses generally complete a four-year university nursing diploma or degree \[[@CR31]\].

Sources said earlier this month that the NFL Players Association had withdrawn an appeal of Gregory's suspension.

Gregory was already serving a four-game suspension for violating the league's substance abuse policy. The new suspension, which is for 10 games, is tacked onto that total. That means the earliest Gregory could return to practice would be Dec. 19, making him eligible for the final two games of the regular season.

Gregory checked himself into a treatment center this summer intending to complete the program before the Cowboys reported to training camp on July 28, sources said. But a source said that Gregory left the facility for a weekend and missed a scheduled


test.

A missed test carries the same weight as a failed test.

Gregory was placed on the reserve/did not report list and did not take part in training camp.

The Cowboys recently removed the defensive end from that so he could report to the team's new practice facility and be around his teammates.

Gregory tested positive for marijuana in February 2015 at the NFL scouting combine and entered the league in the first stage of its substance abuse program. That's the reason he slid to the Cowboys in the second round of the draft. He tested positive for marijuana twice at Nebraska, in January and April of '14, and was told he would be kicked off the team if he failed a third time.

The suspension means he has failed/missed at least fourchromosome bands 10q25-q26. The remaining cases are due to mutations in or near exon 9 of FGFR2.[@B2]

Tucked behind the Boulevard mall, the Paradise Palms neighborhood is quiet on a Tuesday afternoon. Except for an occasional rooftop solar array, its mid-century homes appear unchanged since they were built in the shadow of a less developed, more desolate Las Vegas Strip. But as the residents know, looks can be deceiving.

Donna Castaneda is one of several residents in the area who wakes up each day to the fact that Paradise Palms has changed, in unseen ways that occurred below its surface. In the corner of her bedroom closet, next to her hangers, is a tube that runs from the floor to the roof, a system designed to protect her from chemicals that accumulated underneath her home.

More than 200 homes in Paradise Palms sit atop a plume createdyears ago by chemical spills a half-mile away at a dry-cleaning operation at the former Maryland Square Shopping Center, at Maryland Parkway and Twain Avenue. A dry-cleaning liquid known as perchloroethylene, or PCE, fortunately missed the valley’s drinking water. But the chemical bled into the groundwater, forming a plume over time that now stretches more than a mile long. The contaminated groundwater ranges from about 400 to 1,000 feet in width, and runs up to 70 feet deep in some areas. In some areas, PCE evaporated and turned into a gas, seeping into the air inside of homes.

Maryland Square is not alone. The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection keeps tabs on 40 PCE contaminations from North Las Vegas to Henderson. In most cases, the agency is confident that


train wreck.”

Meanwhile, NDEP had not been paid back for the money it had spent on addressing the PCE exposure. The agency also took legal action, filing another lawsuit against Al Phillips the Cleaner and a web of parties with interests in the Maryland Square land.

An injunction for remediation was secured in 2010. But that was nowhere near the end of the legal wrangling. The parties and insurance companies argued for about four years over who was responsible for paying, until a confidential settlement was reached and plans for the groundwater cleanup moved forward. The court did not approve those plans until 2015, a total of 15 years after the spill was discovered.

The greatest threat the anti-globalization movement poses is to the people in the lower- and middle-income classes. In his book, Global Inequality, Branko Milanovic shows it is this group that has benefited the most from economic growth over the past few decades. The global income distribution used to have two peaks: one with a large number of people with very low incomes and another with a smaller number of people with developed-world incomes. Hundreds of millions of people — mainly in China and India — have since caught up to the global middle class and the global income distribution now has a single peak.

This reduction in global inequality and the establishment of a global middle class is a significant achievement. But there are still hundreds ofANAHEIM, Calif. — Even with Oklahoma maintaining a comfortable double-digit lead throughout much of Saturday's Elite Eight matchup with Oregon, Buddy Hield's mom didn't want to risk altering her routine.

Jackie Swann spent the final 15 minutes of the Sooners' 80-68 victory pacing the Honda Center concourse deep in prayer.

The ritual originated back in the Bahamas when Swann was working three jobs to support her eight children. When Hield complained that his mom's rare appearances at his games typically resulted in losses, Swann began leaving her seat to pray whenever her son's team fell behind or its lead started to dwindle.

"I did it once and I noticed it worked, so I kept doing it," Swann said. "I believe in prayer and I believe in the power of God."

It's understandable


that Swann's faith hasn't wavered considering the remarkable journey her son has taken since those days. It continued Saturday when Hield torched Oregon for 37 points, sent Oklahoma to its first Final Four since 2002 and soaked in some experiences that only a few years ago would have seemed unfathomable to him.

The boy who grew up playing on dirt courts and shooting into milk crates had a crowd of more than 16,000 chanting his name. The boy who used to study grainy YouTube videos of Kobe Bryant had his childhood idol applauding him from the stands across from the Oklahoma bench. The boy who used to wonder if an American coach would ever take a chance on him further solidified his case to be named college basketball's nationala step-back 3-pointer in his face in the game's opening minute. When the Ducks lost him in transition late in the first half, Hield pulled the trigger on a right-wing 3-pointer and shouted "Got 'em" before it even splashed through the net. When Hield ended the first half with a deep 3-pointer that extended Oklahoma's lead to 18, he roared on his way to the tunnel and popped his jersey in Bryant's direction.

"That was my favorite shot," Hield said. "After I looked at Kobe, he saluted me."

Oregon made enough of a second-half push to force Hield's mom out of her seat to pray, but the Ducks never got closer than within 12. By the time Hield sank his eighth 3-pointer to extend Oklahoma's lead to 16 with 5:22


to go, it was clear the Sooners were headed to Houston for a rematch with a Villanova team they beat by 23 on a neutral floor earlier this season.

Oklahoma's run is proof one-and-done prospects and five-star recruits aren't a requirement to reach a Final Four. The only Rivals.com top 100 recruit on the Sooners' roster is Hield and even he was virtually unknown until he arrived from the Bahamas and opened some eyes on the AAU circuit the summer before his senior year of high school.

Oklahoma assistant coach Chris Crutchfield first saw Hield play in the Bahamas back when he was 13 or 14 years old. What drew Crutchfield to Hield was not his game but his megawatt smile and unmistakable charisma.

"He came into the gym and heimmediately had people's attention," Crutchfield said. "He wasn't a player yet. He was this little dusty-headed, skinny kid, but everybody liked him. He had this unbelievable confidence as a 14-year-old kid that I've never seen before."

Hield was far from a polished player when he arrived at Oklahoma four years ago, but the 6-foot-4 shooting guard has progressed each season thanks to a relentless work ethic. He'll shoot for an hour at 7 a.m., shoot in between classes at midday, practice with the team for a couple hours in the afternoon and then come back and shoot again once more before he goes to bed.

SolutionA custom version of the INVISIO V60 was developed that allowed for use of two radio networks. One being the militarized smartphone, the other being the radio network of the Homeland security radio. This was coupled with the INVISIO X5 in ear headset to supply a high level of hearing protection in case of any detonation, as well as good situational awareness.

The French Army has been deploying the system domestically since early 2016 and has most notably been used at events such as 2016 European Football Championship, Tour de France and Bastille Day, as well as daily use in Paris.


London,July22:India bagged their third medal in the World Para Athletics Championships on Saturday at London through discus thrower Karamjyoti Dalal, who clinched a bronze medal in the women’s F55 category. The 30-year-old managed a throw of 19.02 metres, narrowly edging out Bahrain’s Alomari Roba, who recorded a distance of 19.01 metres.

Dalal’s effort was also her season best throw and placed her in fourth spot at the end of the event. However, she moved a spot up and on the podium after China’s Yang Liwan, who had finished third, was disqualified.

The Gurgaon-based para-athlete, who was a national level kabaddi player before a fall from the terrace that affected her motor sensation, has been in fine form through the season after a nightmare outing during the Rio Paralympics last year,where she was unable to get on the scoreboard after three unsuccessful throws.

Earlier in the year, Dalal clinched the gold medal at the Fazaa International Athletics Grand Prix in Dubai. Dalal, ranked world No 8, also has two bronze medals in the 2014 Asian Games in Beijing.

Law enforcement officials in Franklin County, Va., said Wednesday that the suspect in the live TV killings of a reporter and photographer appeared to be “spiraling out of control” before opening fire in an incident of violence that has rattled the nation. The 41-year-old suspected shooter, identified as Vester Lee Flanagan II, was believed to be a disgruntled former employee of the TV station, say police. After the shooting Flanagan sent out a series of tweets alleging that Alison had been racist towards him in the past and that Adam had previously complained about him to HR.

The folks at The School of Life have made a charming and deeply insightful short film about how Dickens "set out to educate via entertaining," and how he managed "to make goodness attractive." (I think they're a bit hard on him as a father -- for all his failings, I don't think his children tended to consider him "detached" -- but otherwise I believe their account of his life is accurate.)

On the anniversary of Dickens's death on Thursday, The Atlantic examined two very differing accounts of his character, and suggested that we reconcile his dark and light sides by studying him through the prism of A Tale of Two Cities:

"Yet in fictionalizing his story, Dickens placed himself


into his characters—his initials, his demons, his childhood sweetheart in Lucie—just as Carton steps into Darnay’s body. Carton’s famous last words could have been spoken by Dickens himself: 'It is a far, far better thing that I do than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.'"

Living donor kidney transplantation offers an additional opportunity for patients with renal failure. The Italian National Transplant Center has collected data on kidney transplants from living donors since 2001. The data revealed a sharp increase in recent years, although the number of living donor transplants is still low compared to the number of patients on the waiting list. The National Transplant Center aims to promote the opportunity for kidney transplants from living donors and to provide information to all stakeholders, including information on specific programs such as crossover transplantation and Samaritan donation. The ultimate purpose of the National Transplant Center is to reduce the waiting lists for kidney transplants in Italy.
