Dead to You by Lisa McMann

Ethan was abducted from his front yard when he was just seven years old. Now, at sixteen, he has returned to his family. It's a miracle... at first. Then the tensions start to build. His reintroduction to his old life isn't going smoothly, and his family is tearing apart all over again. If only Ethan could remember something, anything, about his life before, he'd be able to put the pieces back1991, plaintiffs-appellants Sierra Fria Corporation and Rodrigo Rocha (hereinafter collectively Rocha) acquired an option to purchase two Aruban resort hotels, the Divi Divi and the Divi Tamarijn, from Grape Holding N.V.  (Grape) for approximately $35,000,000.  Rocha engaged Goodwin, Procter as lead counsel, with overall responsibility for coordinating legal due diligence involved in the transaction.  The law firm assigned a partner, Michael Glazer, and an associate, Minta Kay, to work on the acquisition.  Both attorneys specialized in real estate law, but neither previously had handled an Aruban transaction.

Kay received a draft title memorandum based on Aruban land records from Ingrid Bleeker, an attorney affiliated with Smeets, Thesseling & Von Borkhorst (a firm that one of Rocha's joint venturers had hired for its familiarity with Aruban


Aruban custom, he risked not knowing exactly what assets he was acquiring.  Their concern heightened when they realized that a time-share complex (Dutch Village) adjoined the Divi Tamarijn Beach Resort and that no clearly visible dividing line separated the properties.  Thus, Kay spoke to Christopher DeChiario, Rocha's long-time aide.  She explained the hazards of proceeding without a survey, and DeChiario promised to discuss the matter with Rocha.  Glazer later spoke directly to Rocha about the risks attendant to the absence of a survey.  Rocha indicated that he was not particularly concerned.  Consequently, Goodwin, Procter did not commission a survey and Kay continued to work with Bleeker to determine precisely what assets were located on the hotels' properties.

7
Bleeker eventually mailed several maps ofa survey and that he was willing to consummate the seemingly lucrative transaction without one.  Kay then drafted a memorandum detailing her concerns and sent copies to Rocha and DeChiario.

9
During a subsequent conference call with Rocha and other investors, Kay again voiced her worries about the location of various facilities.  Rocha grew impatient and made it clear that speed was his highest priority.  He expressed eagerness to take control of the hotels during the height of the 1991-1992 tourist season, and he indicated a willingness to rely on the cross-use agreement and the customary Aruban title assurances for protection.

10
Goodwin, Procter received a standard Aruban title opinion from Maria Eman, an Aruban notary, firmed up the cross-use agreement, and thereafter consummated the transaction on February 11,


 the body of the Redeemer. In like manner it is implied that if
  Christians should partake with idolaters in the feasts offered in
  honor of idols, that they would be regarded as partaking with them in
  the services of idols, or as united to them, and therefore such
  participation was improper.

(emphasis added by me)
The idea is that it is participating in the body and blood of Christ, not partaking of the body and blood of Christ in the sense that it's literally his body. The point of the passage is to say that when we eat the elements, we participate in their symbolism, their celebration of Christ, and their uniting the believers together. Therefore, similarly, if we participate in idol feasts, we're participatingin the symbolism, celebration of the idol, and uniting that comes with it. It's a warning against participating in these things, not necessarily referencing its literal transformation into Christ's body.
EDIT: This is highlighted too by Paul in verses 25 and 26 where he says they can eat anything sold in the market (some of which had been sacrificed to idols) because “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it." Even though it had been sacrificed to idols, by buying it in the market they weren't participating in the idol worship it was originally consecrated for.


Most of the time, an obscure federal investigative unit known as the Office of Special Counsel confines itself to monitoring the activities of relatively low-level government employees, stepping in with reprimands and other routine administrative actions for such offenses as discriminating against military personnel or engaging in prohibited political activities.

But the Office of Special Counsel is preparing to jump into one of the most sensitive and potentially explosive issues in Washington, launching a broad investigation into key elements of the White House political operations that for more than six years have been headed by chief strategist Karl Rove.

The new investigation, which will examine the firing of at least one U.S. attorney, missing White House e-mails, and White House efforts to keep presidential appointees attuned to Republican political priorities,has never conducted such a broad and high-profile inquiry in its history. One of its primary missions has been to enforce the Hatch Act, a law enacted in 1939 to preserve the integrity of the civil service.

Bloch said the new investigation grew from two narrower inquiries his staff had begun in recent weeks.

One involved the fired U.S. attorney from New Mexico, David C. Iglesias.

The other centered on a PowerPoint presentation that a Rove aide, J. Scott Jennings, made at the General Services Administration this year.

That presentation listed recent polls and the outlook for battleground House and Senate races in 2008. After the presentation, GSA Administrator Lorita Doan encouraged agency managers to “support our candidates,” according to half a dozen witnesses. Doan said she could not recall making such

Such a reveal makes plenty of sense because Arrow has been down this road before. In Season 2 Oliver spent much of the first half of the Deathstroke story arc hunting a mysterious woman in a blonde wig who had taken to the streets to fight men preying on women. Eventually, the storyline paid off in a major way, as the show revealed that Sara Lance was not only alive after the sinking of the Queen's Gambit, but she had taken on the identity of The Canary after receiving training from The League of Assassins and Ra's Al Ghul. The narratives are obviously not completely identical, but it shows a pattern; you do not tease a mystery character and then let audiences down with the reveal of someonejudgment entered upon the jury verdict, and the cost judgment.

Jeffrey Cespedes was severely injured when he fell through an opening on the second story of a house being constructed in a development known as the Hammocks. Cespedes was employed as a carpenter by Bamco, a subcontractor working at the job site. The apparent cause of his fall was the absence of safety guard rails to protect an opening which was to be a stairwell. Cespedes fell backwards into the opening. Bamco paid Cespedes the appropriate worker's compensation. Thereafter, Cespedes brought this action alleging negligence on the part of the defendants

fishing options around Missoula and many days in August you will have an entire stretch of river to yourself.

Early on, early off is the key to success. Water temps are most favorable early, before the heat of the day sets in. The trout know this and they feed most aggressively during this time period. Take in a gorgeous Montana sunrise and stick some nice trout when it’s most comfortable for everyone. Get back to town and cleaned up to make the most of all Missoula has to offer in the late afternoon and evening.

Skill is rewarded in August. A well placed hopper in just the right spot next to a log jam or a solid reach cast on target to a rising trout is the way to findUber to improve their policies.

She says a Lyft driver once suggested she have his children after a series of inappropriate questions and urging her to convert to his religion. Lyft pledged never to pair her with the driver again. She said this response was inadequate, because it treated her case as a sour personal interaction, instead of saying the company would discipline or better train the driver.

“They’re just another tech company out to get money,” said Ebel, a 29-year-old PhD student in evolutionary genetics, who ended up deleting her account.

to the tracks and in a fore/aft direction relative to the vehicle generally towards and away from an instrument panel of the vehicle. Moving the seat assembly towards the instrument panel improves accessibility to an area behind the seat assembly while concurrently moving the seat assembly closer to the controls of the vehicle. Conversely, moving the seat assembly away from the instrument panel moves the seat assembly away from the controls of the vehicle but affords a vehicle occupant with additional space and therefore accommodates occupants of different sizes and heights.
While conventional adjustment assemblies allow fore/aft movement of a seat assembly relative to a vehicle, such adjustment assemblies do not always return to a locked state upon release of an actuation handle. For example, conventional adjustment assemblies includea pin biased into engagement with a track, whereby the pin may be received within one of a series of apertures formed in the track to positively lock a position of the seat assembly relative to the track and, thus, relative to a vehicle. When the actuation handle is actuated, the pin is disengaged from the track to permit fore/aft adjustment of the seat assembly relative to the vehicle. When the actuation handle is released, the pin is biased towards the track and will prevent movement of the seat assembly relative to the track once the pin engages an aperture of the track. However, while the pin adequately prevents movement of the seat assembly relative to the track when the pin properly seats within an aperture formed in

Honor John Chambliss by retaining name

As a resident of Chattanooga many years ago, I still have pleasant memories of the surrounding mountains, the Tennessee River, and especially the area known as Reflection Riding, the property of Mr. John Chambliss at the foot of Lookout Mountain.

From 1926 until his death, Mr. Chambliss' goal was to fill 300 acres of his land with all kinds of flowers, plants and trees and make a place of serenity and beauty which would be available for everyone to enjoy.

Mr. Chambliss and his wife Margaret called the area Reflection Riding, a name which has been recognized andused until recently.

Thirty-three years ago, 17 acres next to Reflection Riding were offered for the use of the Nature Center. Together the land was called Reflection Riding Arboretum and Nature Center.

Last July l3, the boards of directors of Reflection Riding Arboretum and the Nature Center merged and changed the name to Chattanooga Arboretum and Nature Center.

In his will Mr. Chambliss left the area, which has been enjoyed by so many people, as an endowed gift in perpetuity. Is it too unreasonable to ask that Mr. Chambliss be appreciated and honored by keeping the name he had chosen?

night I found a fem/imm Pied Flycatcher in the front garden - garden tick no. 100! It performed well until a thunderstorm moved in.

I awoke to heavy rain and in a brief respite mid-morning I couldn't see the Pied Fly, but the buzzy call I first heard last night (which went un'IDed) was pinned down to an escaped Zebra Finch.

Late morning the rain stopped, the sun came out and insects were suddenly on the wing. The garden was hoochin' with birds, including a couple of new baby Treeps. I soon located the Pied Fly in next door's garden feeding from one of the large weeping willows. It was on the house side, so I was able to watch it for about 15 mins from one of my bedroomwindows. Whilst hanging out of the window, garden tick no. 101 flew over - a noisy Grey Wagtail. And within half an hour, a Reed Warbler bounced through the garden - garden tick no. 102!! Unbelievable, three garden ticks within the last 24 hours! The Reed Warbler appears to have taken up residence for hte afternoon and judging by the amount of juicy items its finding, it ain't going hungry!

To add to the garden tally, a Willow Warbler performed well early afternoon and a Common Sandpiper (from the nearby irrigation res) was heard a couple of times - presumably flying around the fen when disturbed from the res.

I found one of the Brown Hawkers roosting in a leylandii hedge in the back garden. The light wasn't good, and it was under the over hanging branches, so I had to use flash - something I don't like doing.

York County Virginia's Racist General District Court And Judge Hudgins Place In It?

We fought the American Revolution to free ourselves from tyranny. The American Revolution ended in York County, Virginia in Yorktown. A beautiful area loaded with incredible American history and heritage. The issues we see today is that tyranny is far from dead and is in fact alive and well and practiced in our court rooms each and everyday where justice simply does not prevail, but instead tyranny against the people flourishes unrestrained.

I was in the General District Court witnessing some of the cases being held in that court on April 21st, 2015. Judge Stephen Ashton Hudgins was presiding in the court and is the chief justice for the York County General District Court.

JULIE PACE
Associated PressPublished: December 21, 2012 12:26PM

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama on Friday will nominate Sen. John Kerry as his next secretary of state, a senior administration official said, making the first move in an overhaul of his national security team heading into a second term.

If confirmed, Kerry would take the helm at the State Department from outgoing Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has long stated her intention to leave early next year. Kerry, a longtime Massachusetts senator, is expected to be easily approved for the Cabinet post by his Capitol Hill colleagues.

That would open up the Senate seat Kerry has held for nearly three decades. Recently defeated Republican Sen. Scott Brown might contest it.

Obama will announce Kerry's nomination from the


White House Friday afternoon, said the official, who requested anonymity to discuss the president's decision before the announcement. Clinton was not expected to attend. The secretary fell and suffered a concussion last week, State Department officials said, and hasn't made public appearances since.

Word about Kerry's nomination -- Washington's latest worst-kept secret -- came at a somber and unusual time, with both the president and Kerry attending a memorial service for Democratic Sen. Daniel Inouye of Hawaii. At the same time, leaders of the nation's divided government were in utter limbo about how to head off the "fiscal cliff" looming Jan. 1.

Kerry's nomination could bring to a close what has become for the White House a contentious and distracting effort to find a new secretary of state.

Kerry was theDemocratic nominee for president in 2004, losing a close election to incumbent George W. Bush. He's a decorated Vietnam veteran who was critical of the war when he returned to the U.S., even testifying in front of the Senate committee he eventually chaired.

Kerry's only other rival for the job, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice, faced harsh criticism from congressional Republicans for her initial accounting of the deadly September attack on Americans in Benghazi, Libya. Obama vigorously defended Rice, a close friend and longtime adviser, but GOP senators dug in, threatening to hold up her nomination if the president tapped her for the post.

Rice withdrew her name from consideration last week, making Kerry all but certain to become the nominee. People familiar with the White House's decision-making said support within


the administration was moving toward Kerry even before Rice pulled out.

The Cabinet nomination of Kerry, 69, is the first Obama has made since winning a second term, and the first piece in an extensive shuffle of his national security team. The president is also expected to nominate a new defense secretary soon to take over for retiring Leon Panetta and a new director of the Central Intelligence Agency to replace former spy chief David Petreaus, who resigned last month after admitting to an affair with his biographer.

The White House had hoped to introduce Obama's national security team in a package announcement. But those plans were scrapped as the fiscal cliff negotiations consumed the administration and questions arose about the front-runner for the Pentagon post, former Republican Sen. ChuckHagel of Nebraska. Hagel has been dogged by questions about his support for Israel and where he stands on gay rights, with critics calling on him to repudiate a comment in 1998 that a former ambassadorial nominee was "openly, aggressively gay."

As the nation's top diplomat, Kerry will be tasked with not only executing the president's foreign policy objectives, but also shaping Obama's approach. The senator offered some insight into his world view on Thursday during a Senate Foreign Relations committee hearing he chaired on the deadly September attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Kerry called on Congress to put enough money into America's foreign policy objectives and said doing so is an investment "in our long-term security and more often than not it saves far more expensive


on his behalf numerous times, particularly to tamp down diplomatic disputes in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He was also part of Obama's debate preparations team during the 2012 election, playing Republican challenger Mitt Romney in mock debates.

Kerry also won praise from Obama aides for his sharp national security-focused speech at the Democratic National Convention in August. He told delegates: "Ask Osama bin Laden if he's better off now than he was four years ago."

Before nominating Kerry, the White House consulted with congressional Democrats about the fate of the Senate seat he has held for five terms. Democrats have sought to assure the White House that the party has strong potential candidates in the state.

Kerry has pushed the White House's national security agenda in the Senate with mixed results. Hesuch as a bar of soap to compensate for their time and effort. The trial was registered at [www.clinicaltrials.gov](www.clinicaltrials.gov) as NCT01832688.

The NiMaNu project was designed as a quasi-experimental descriptive study comparing preintervention and postintervention cohorts of pregnant women. A multistage clustered sampling design was used for the baseline and endline surveys. Two health districts (Mirriah and Zinder) in the Zinder region were selected in collaboration with regional and health district personnel for convenience based on their accessibility, distance to Zinder, and the limited number and scope of interventions being implemented in the catchment area of the integrated health centres (IHCs) within these districts to avoid overlapping interventions conducted in the same area. In Niger, the health system in a district is organised at three levels: (1) health posts


provide very basic outpatient curative and preventive care and are staffed primarily by community health workers, (2) IHCs serve several villages, provide outpatient and inpatient care, including labour and delivery, and are staffed by nurses, midwifes and sometimes physicians, and (3) a district hospital, provides diagnostics services, outpatient and inpatient curative care, and Caesarean sections, and is the level of referral for IHCs.[@R17] In the health district of Zinder, all eight IHCs serving rural communities were selected, and the remaining two IHCs were excluded because they only served urban areas. In Mirriah, 10 out of 36 IHCs were selected based on convenience sampling.

A statistician at the University of California, Davis stratified individual IHCs in groups of three by selected indicators (total population; district; distance to Zinder; number ofhealth posts), and then randomly assigned individual IHCs to the order of enrolment. Within each IHC, 10 villages were randomly selected after stratification by distance from IHC and population size. First, the village where the IHC was located was automatically chosen for participation and one village containing a health post was randomly selected from all those with a health post that were within the catchment area of the IHC. Second, among the remaining villages in the catchment area of the health centre, four villages ≤10 km and four villages \>10 km from the IHC were randomly selected and randomised to the order of enrolment.

To assess the impacts of the programmatic intervention, a rolling baseline survey was implemented in 12 IHCs over the course of 1 year among randomly selected pregnant women


(Hb) concentration by HemoCue Hb 201+ (Hemocue, Lake Forest, California, USA). The survey questionnaires were developed in French and revised after pretesting. Interviews were conducted in Hausa (the predominant local language) or French.

Gestational age was estimated as a weighted average of the following obtained information: reported last menstrual period (by estimated number of months, lunar cycles and/or proximity to a religious or cultural event), time elapsed since pregnant woman started to feel or perceive fetal movements, and two fundal height measurements taken \~1 month apart.[@R20] Trimester of pregnancy was defined as follows: first trimester: \<13 weeks, second trimester: ≥13 weeks to \<27 weeks and third trimester: ≥27 weeks.[@R20]

Household socioeconomic status was estimated using three proxy indices (housing quality, household assets and household livestock holdings), as previously described.[@R22] Household foodthose of the baseline survey. After the initial 12-month baseline period, the baseline survey continued in an additional six IHCs. The surveys were temporally staggered to ensure that there was a baseline village to compare with an endline village at each time point and allow time-matched comparisons between intervention and control villages. The latter six control IHCs did not benefit from the programmatic intervention described below but received donations of essential medications at the end of the project.

Programmatic intervention {#s2-3}
-------------------------

### Timing of surveys and the programmatic intervention {#s2-3-1}

As soon as the baseline survey was completed in an IHC, the complete programmatic intervention was intended to start immediately in that IHC and its catchment area, and the endline survey was implemented 6 months after the completion of the baseline survey.


considered the cluster in the present study. Twenty-four of the 92 villages had small numbers of participants (ie, \<5 women). To avoid unstable estimates due to small sample sizes per cluster, villages with \<5 participants were combined with villages of \>5 participants and which had similar characteristics such as belonging to the same IHC, and located approximatively at the same distance from the IHC. Consequently, the analyses included 68 clusters.

The study was designed such that the baseline survey continued during the endline survey. A preintervention and postintervention analysis comparing the baseline cohort to the endline cohort was performed, and time of assessment was considered in the analysis by including year and season in all models as described in more detail below. The PROC GLIMMIX procedure in SAS wasfamily members had participated in at least one of these education sessions. Among the women who did not participate, 68.2% reported that they did not know that there were education sessions in their village and 21.3% reported that there were no educational sessions in their village in the previous 6 months.

As part of operational research, ANC consultations at participating IHC were observed for 49 pregnant women before the start of the intervention, and for 89 pregnant women at the end of the intervention. Before the intervention, signs and symptoms of anaemia including fatigue and pallor (conjunctival and/or palmor) were assessed by health agent in charge of ANC visit among 25.5% and 95.7% pregnant women, respectively. At the end of the intervention, the aforementioned signs and symptoms of anaemia

The educational messages focused on how to take the iron supplement to improve its bioavailability. In contrast, our study combined health-center-based intervention, including the donation of IFA supplements, with community BCC sessions, where IFA supplementation, increased intake of iron-rich foods, and the prevention of malaria during pregnancy were promoted. The operational research confirmed that IFA supplements were available in almost all IHC and were distributed by health staff over the course of the programmatic intervention. However, despite providing IFA supplements to health centres and increasing the proportion of women who received them, daily consumption of supplements in the week prior toof the voluntariness of Sotelo's confession.  We do not have jurisdiction over his appeal regarding the effective assistance of counsel issue.  The conduct which now forms the basis of Sotelo's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel was not presented for review by the Indiana state court.

I. BACKGROUND

2
On September 27, 1973, a twelve-year old girl was found murdered in an isolated part of a cemetery in Lake County, Indiana.  The body of the girl was unclad and her head had been crushed.  On the day she was murdered, she had been seen in the company of Raul Rudy Sotelo, an eighteen-year old steel worker.

3
Two days later, in the afternoon of September 29, 1973, investigating officers of the Lake County, Indiana Sheriff's Department interviewed Sotelo at


his home concerning the murder.  Sotelo denied any knowledge of the matter.  The officers left after about ten minutes but indicated that they would be back to obtain a written statement.  Later that evening the officers returned to Sotelo's home.  Sotelo agreed to accompany the officers to the Lake County Sheriff's Department.

4
After arriving at the Sheriff's Department, Sotelo sat in a locked hallway/waiting room for two hours while another suspect was questioned.  Then Sotelo, accompanied by his mother, went with the officers to the detective bureau.  There he was given the Miranda warnings and signed a written waiver of rights.  With his mother present, Sotelo was then questioned intermittently.  A typed statement was prepared at one point and Sotelo signedthe statement in which he denied having anything to do with the death of the girl.  Thereafter, Sotelo was again verbally advised of his rights and the questioning continued--with the officers now disputing Sotelo's story.  Sotelo continued to deny any involvement in the death of the girl.  The officers told Sotelo that they did not believe him because of contradictory statements from other witnesses.  One of the officers suggested that a lie detector test could be taken and Sotelo requested that one be given to him.  The questioning then ended approximately two hours after it began and Sotelo was placed in custody pending a probable cause hearing.

5
Late the next morning, September 30, 1973, arrangements were made for Sotelo to take a polygraph examination


in the office of a private polygraph examiner.  The officers transported Sotelo to the polygraph examiner's office and again gave him the Miranda warnings.  Sotelo was also advised that he did not have to submit to a polygraph examination.  Sotelo nevertheless agreed to go forward with the test.  The polygraph examination was administered to Sotelo while the officers watched in another room on closed circuit television.

6
When the initial testing had been completed by another operator, the reviewing polygraph examiner was of the opinion that Sotelo was not being truthful.  Sotelo was then questioned by the examiner.  It was at this point that Sotelo first confessed to the murder.  One of the detectives was then called into the examination room.  Sotelodeclined to have the Miranda warnings read again, and he repeated his confession to the officer.  Sotelo was returned to the detective bureau where he again signed a waiver of his rights as well as a written confession indicating that he had repeatedly run over the young girl with his automobile after she refused to have sex with him.  The police interrogation was tape recorded and the polygraph examination and questioning were video recorded.

Sotelo's written confession was introduced at trial.  He was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.  His direct appeal to the Indiana Supreme Court was unsuccessful1 as was his appeal from denial of post-conviction relief.2   Thirteen years later, Sotelo raised two claims in federal district court in his petition for


put Sotelo at ease and create an atmosphere conducive for relating facts concerning Sotelo's relationship with the murdered girl.  When later asked why he decided to tell the truth, Sotelo answered:  "Because this incident was bothering me, and the man who ran the lie detector talked to me nice like a father."    It is significant that this "fatherly" exchange between the examiner and Sotelo occurred only during the first three to four minutes after they met.  The empathy used by the examiner was neither unfair nor did it create such a degree of psychological pressure that it rendered Sotelo's confession involuntary.  Placing a defendant in a relaxed and comfortable mood by the use of empathetic conversation for three or four minutes22 L.Ed.2d 684 (1969).

Sotelo was a man of average intelligence.  He had not been deprived of food or sleep.  It is obvious that Sotelo responded to the approach of the polygraph examiner, and his confession came very shortly after the examiner began his questioning.  Yet it is apparent that the examiner's "fatherly" manner did not confuse Sotelo.  There is no indication that Sotelo was lulled into a belief that the stranger was a friend, rather than a technician continuing the police interrogation.  The roles of the questioner and the respondent were clear.  Sotelo had been advised of his constitutional rights prior to the examination, informed that the test was an aid to the police in their investigation, and told that he was


later and admitted into evidence at trial.

We now turn to the second issue regarding Sotelo's confession--characterized on appeal as an oversight by the district court and a failure of the district court to review the totality of the circumstances surrounding that confession.  Having received an unfavorable decision on the issue of coercion raised in the district court, Sotelo now claims on appeal that the district judge could not have made an independent review of the record regarding that claim of a coerced confession.  Sotelo hypothecates that an independent review of the record by the district court would have disclosed the "offensive" methods used by the police officers to "extract Appellant's confession."    Because the claim of improper police questioning was not the focus ofMemories of early work on muscle contraction and regulation in the 1950's and 1960's.
Professor Ebashi's epic work on the biochemistry of the regulation of muscle contraction began in the early 1950's, during the same period that work on the molecular basis of force production in muscle was also beginning. The latter work started in two MRC Research Units in the UK, and was continued jointly by the two workers from those Units who had, independently, gone to MIT to learn the new techniques of electron microscopy and to apply them to muscle. In a somewhat similar fashion, Professor Ebashi also spent one or two years in the USA, continuing his work on the role of calcium in muscle regulation in Lippman's laboratory, before returning to Japan to achieve


the great breakthroughs in this work during the 1960's. Hanson and Huxley, after putting forward the overlapping actin and myosin filament arrays model for the striated muscle sarcomere, and subsequently the sliding filament model of muscle contraction (simultaneously with A.F Huxley and R. Niedergerke), returned to the UK to pursue detailed structural studies in separate Research Units, in a mixture of consultation, collaboration, and competition, during the later 1950's and throughout the 1960's. However, the path to enlightenment described here in some detail was somewhat more tortuous than the standard literature perhaps reveals. Nevertheless, by the time of the Cold Spring Harbor Symposium on Muscle Contraction in 1972, the two lines of enquiry on regulation itself, and on the tilting cross-bridge model of force production, had arrived atup efforts to get aid supplies and volunteers to the affected areas.

Throughout this high valley, in every village and settlement now, homes are smashed, rubble lies in the streets, and roofs have caved in... And everywhere too now, there is fear

Premier Li Keqiang is in Ya'an, the closest city to the epicentre, overseeing relief efforts, and told reporters that saving lives was the most important thing.

The BBC's John Sudworth in Ya'an says dozens of injured people are still being treated in a triage centre outside the main hospital.

Some villages close to the epicentre in Lushan and Baoxing counties were left in ruins.

One survivor, Yang Shanqing, said he had lost his family in the disaster.

"I tried to call my brother but could not get through. I ran back to


the village and was told at the entrance of the village that my brother's house had collapsed," he said.

"I rushed here only to see a crowd of people trying to grab the family out of the ruins, but they failed."

At the Vatican, Pope Francis in his weekly address said his thoughts were with the people of China.

'Waiting in traffic'

China has received offers of help from countries including Japan, with which it is currently embroiled in a territorial dispute over an island grouping in the East China Sea.

Beijing said overseas help was not needed at the moment, but added that it would contact Tokyo if that changed.

Chen Yong, the vice-director of the Ya'an city government earthquake response office, said the death toll may not rise much more.

"We understand thesituation in most areas. Most of the casualties have been reported," he said.

"In some remote mountain areas, it is possible that we don't fully understand the situation."

Correspondents say the hill villages, where farmers grow rice, vegetables and corn on terraced plots, were hit the hardest.

On Sunday, ambulances, fire engines and military lorries piled high with supplies were waiting in long lines along blocked roads in the province.

Kevin Xia of the Red Cross said: "Supplies have had difficulty getting into the region because of the traffic jams. Most of our supplies are still on the way."

Another relief official told Reuters: "We really want to go in and help people, but instead we are waiting in traffic."

Our


correspondent says the authorities have stopped issuing permits for journalists to enter the region, saying they are adding to the congestion.

In Longmen village in Lushan county nearly all the buildings were destroyed, officials said.

Rescuers had to dynamite boulders that had fallen across some roads, while overnight rain slowed rescue work.

A military vehicle carrying 17 soldiers came off the road, killing one soldier and injuring others.

Many thousands of people spent the night in tents or cars, unable to return home or too afraid to go back because of the aftershocks.

Sichuan province was devastated by a massive quake five years ago that claimed tens of thousands of lives and left five million without homes.

Many of the collapsed buildings were schools and nurseries, leading to widespread criticism of local government's planningWuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights Study Guide

Wuthering Heights was Emily Brontë's only novel, and it is considered the fullest expression of her highly individual poetic vision. It contains many Romantic influences: Heathcliff is a very Byronic character, though he lacks the self pity that mars many Byronic characters, and he is deeply attached to the natural world. When the novel was written, the peak of the Romantic age had passed: Emily Brontë lived a very isolated life, and was in some sense behind the times. Wuthering Heights expresses criticisms of social conventions, particularly those surrounding issues of gender: notice that the author distributes "feminine" and "masculine" characteristics without regard to sex. Brontë had difficulties living in society while remaining true to the things she considered important: the ideal of women


to maintain the secrecy under which the novel was published, understandably. She died soon after the publication, and Charlotte felt obliged - now that secrecy was no longer necessary - to write a preface for the novel defending her sister's character. The preface also made it clear that Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell were, in fact, different people: some readers had speculated that Wuthering Heights was an early work by the author of Jane Eyre. It appears that Charlotte herself was uncomfortable with the more disturbing aspects of her sister's masterpiece. She said that if Emily had lived, "her mind would of itself have grown like a strong tree; loftier, straighter, wider-spreading, and its matured fruits would have attained a mellower ripeness and sunnier bloom."

The American Heart Association's 2020 Strategic Impact Goal is "By 2020, to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20% while reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20%." To monitor progress towards this goal, a new construct "ideal cardiovascular health" (iCVH) was defined that includes the simultaneous presence of optimal levels of seven health behaviors (physical activity, smoking, dietary intake, and body mass index) and factors (total cholesterol, blood pressure and fasting blood glucose). In this review, we present a summary of major concepts related to the concept of iCVH and an update of the literature in this area since publication of the 2020 Strategic Impact Goal, including trends in


in her parents’ footsteps, the pressure to uphold their dream falls on her and one of her best friends—Adair Stratton. An outcast and feared by most, Adair longs to break away from the expectations dictating his future. With whispers of dark magic spreading across Kiero, Adair starts to doubt The Academy is all it seems.

An unexpected visit ignites new tensions as the roguish king from across the Black Sea, Tadeas Maher of the Shattered Isles, and his heir, Marquis Maher, sail to Kiero. Notorious for their pirating and wrath, for the first time in years, they demand the Faes listen to their proposition for a new treaty. Caught in the middle of politics, Adair and Emory, with the help of their best friends Brokk and Memphis, search forthe one thing that matters the most—the truth.

Their world is tipped upside down as unlikely alliances are made, and war ravages Kiero. Through the throes of betrayal, lies, hidden magic, and love, Adair is faced with a life changing decision. Will he fight or bow to the darkness within?
But, Adair’s decision will change the course of Kiero forever, setting in motion irreversible destinies for everyone at The Academy as Emory Fae rises as heir.

“It was as if her body had been ripped into a thousand different pieces. Her lungs burned, begging for relief. Emory heard the soft crackle of fire. Her head was a spinning mass; it was its own continent. Squinting, she tried to focus. Blinking slowly, her surroundings came into view. Her pulse picked up. She


burning in her eyes. She reached the massive doors, pulling them open, and the night air slammed into her. Gasping, she sprinted, rushing out into the rolling field. The air was brisk, a sweet aroma hanging on the wind, the crescent moon tucked in the midnight blue clouds. Ahead, a massive forest loomed, and she frantically looked for any sign of modern civilization where she could find help. There was nothing. A stitch laced through her side, and her converses lost footing. Emory slammed into the damp earth. Rocks sliced through her palms as she tried to break her fall, blood welling in the cuts. Tears slid down her cheeks as she got up, whispering, “Keep moving. C’mon.” Looking back, she expected to see the place she hada clue about her location. The air was musty, and her throat was scratchy. Nadira coughed.

“Hello?” she croaked, triggering more dry coughing. She cleared her throat and tried again. “Hey! Can anyone hear me?”

Nadira felt a solid surface along her back and behind her head and legs. She understood she was lying somewhere. Nadira tried to touch her surroundings and could barely move her arms before they hit the cushioned ceiling mere inches above her. As she continued to move, her elbows hit the cushioned sides, and her knees hit the ceiling. Feeling surrounded, Nadira realized she was in an enclosed space. Taking a deep breath, she tasted stale air. Some kind of crawlspace or trunk was her best guess.

After a long night of sleep, Nadira expected to


feel ready to tackle another day. Summer was the peak of training season, and Nadira was looking forward to a few weeks of scrimmages that would allow her hunters to show off and make her look good as team leader. Instead of feeling refreshed, her body was sore, her head ached, and her stomach was empty. She felt a weakness and discomfort that only happened when she mistakenly slept for far too long. But,what am I doing here?

She tried to keep her breathing even and decided to feel around with her hands for a doorknob or latch. Behind the cushion that surrounded her on all sides, she felt a more solid barrier, like wood. Was someone playing a cruel trick on her? Nadira’s racing mind landed on Melissa—theshake. Cold sweat made the fabric of her nightgown stick. She felt like a disgusting mess. She was never a mess. She was strong and focused. She was a warrior.

Think, Nadira commanded herself. Someone has you trapped in a cold, dark place. For a second, she considered staying put and waiting for a rescue. That second passed quickly. Nadira preferred to rescue herself. She also considered preparing for the next time her enemy came to check in on her. Once, she escaped from a car trunk by fighting her way out when the vehicle stopped. The trick was to listen for your moment, and time it just right. Yet, somehow, she didn’t think she had enough air to wait around for anything other than death.

She was not afraid


to die, no demon hunter was, but she wasn’t ready either. It was simply not her time. With that thought, Nadira ripped and tore at the ceiling of her confinement. Self-discipline and skill helped, but her genetic makeup—unique to Children of Orion—gave her the brute strength needed to destroy her cell. Silky cushy fabric gave way to wood. Wood chips, chunks, and splinters finally gave way to solid dirt.

She was panting, already exhausted. She wasn’t sure how many minutes went by, but the solid dirt indicated that she still had a long way to go. She couldn’t see her hands in front of her, but she could feel the cuts and bruises she was inflicting on herself in her effort to escape. Nadira’s hands were bloody and crampingfrom the repeated motion. She kept digging. Ignoring pain and discomfort was something that all demon hunters were taught. I can do this.

She took a moment to pull her nightgown over her face as a makeshift mask. With her eyes closed, she kept at it. As the hole got bigger, more dirt slid into the box she was in. The weight of the loose soil on her face, chest and upper body was suffocating in its heaviness. She was at the point of no return now that the last of her air was escaping. Yet, Nadira didn’t give in to panic. Focused, she kept digging and pulling herself upward while breathing as best she could with her face covered.

Nadira lost track of time—not that she knew what time


it was when she woke up in this nightmare. Her mind was buzzing with a single thought. Survive. Nadira chanted to herself in an endless loop. She got sloppy with her arm movements, with her pulling and wiggling. However long she’d been clawing her way to freedom was too long. She paused, taking a few more shallow breaths through the cloth that was acting as a mask. She wanted to stop, to regain her strength, but she ignored her fatigue. Reaching up yet again, she pulled more dirt down. This time she felt nothing around her fingertips. Finally, there was space!

With renewed determination, Nadira pried and hoisted herself up, kicking her legs as if she was swimming through the soil. Her hands first, then forearms. Next, her head,and lastly her shoulders escaped imprisonment. Immediately, she ripped her nightgown away from her face and took deep breaths of the fresh, crisp air. With a bit of tugging and wiggling, Nadira’s waist, then her hips, her legs, and lastly her feet became unburied. She collapsed next to the hole she crawled out of and looked at the night sky. In the cool wind, fallen leaves rustled gently all around Nadira. She was panting and filthy, covered in dirt from head to toe. But, she was free.

Only when her breathing was back to normal did she move. Sitting up, she was reintroduced to her headache. It forced her to move at an even slower pace. She noticed her hands first. They were a bloody mess. Great. She won’t


be holding a weapon anytime soon. The second thing she noticed was the long, soft pink dress she was wearing. It was far from the sports bras and shorts she normally wore to bed. She was filthy, homeless looking, but all in one piece and healthy enough. No time to wonder who changed her clothes, or who bothered to style her dreadlocks—formed by constantly twisting her naturally curly hair until the thick twists became permanent—with white ribbons.

Looking around, she saw that she was in a cemetery. Her sigh of relief was shushed by the wind carrying the sound away. Nadira felt safe for now, knowing she was free and unguarded. Of all the awful ways to kill an enemy, why this horrible yet passive method? To bury someonealive was a sadistic, cowardly and lacking in honor. Only one answer came to mind.

His teacher had become predatory toward him, trying to push him to his edge but always in ways only noticed to Brokk, putting on the persona for the other teachers. Iasan was only trying to ensure a bright future, they said. By grooming him into a lethal weapon that would kill on command. Swearing under his breath, Brokk was hoping for the blissful distraction that the hallways of the Academy always provided. His fellow classmates had a flair for the dramatics; it was guaranteed he would be swept away in their display, along with his thoughts. Instead, his footsteps echoedas he continued on, dread pooling in his stomach and making it churn. Turning the corner, he was about to stop and go back when he saw him.

Alby’s appearance flickered as he turned invisible in a panic. “What happened?!” Brokk’s voice cracked, as he sprinted, dropping to his best friend’s side in an instant. Alby’s eyes were wide, as he grappled with his words, his mouth opening and closing.

Frau Katzenjammer was nearly hysterical because her baby son Maximilian was not sleeping and neither was she. Max was very quiet when I saw him – and a bit red in the face - but he had probably screamed all night. I was going to mention that I slept in the nude to combat the heat and had she tried this but sensed that itwas probably not the right moment.

Frau Katzenjammer certainly looked like Max had screamed all night. Indeed Frau Katzenjammer looked like she had been hung upside down and pummeled with a carpet beater for eight hours – and then sprayed with strawberry juice.

Frau Katzenjammer probably had a bad night but at least she does not have the problem of Max leaping onto the bed in the middle of the night from the ledge behind the bed and scaring the shit out her – or deciding at the crack of dawn to knock everything on the edge of the bath into the bath –or even worse – deciding that an exposed toe needs to be shredded.

The air quality in Yosemite National Park reached unhealthy levels Wednesday morning as smoke from multiple wildfires choked the valley.

The national park posted an eerie image (see above) of the park on Facebook on Tuesday night showing the valley's bleak brownish haze. Only the trees and a meadow in the foreground are visible, while Half Dome and the park's granite peaks are obscured.

"What makes the smoke settle in theand the air quality becomes bad from pollution alone," Kochasic, said. "When you add wildfires to that, it gets really bad. You have reduced visibility and poor air quality."

The Yosemite National Park website confirmed Wednesday morning that air quality levels had reached unhealthy levels at the visitor center. The park referred visitors to more detailed information on a U.S. Forest Service site indicating the Wawona area was at a hazardous level, while Yosemite Village, Yosemite West, Foresta, Tuolumne Meadows and El Portal would all remain unhealthy through the day with some clearing in the evening.

The smoky conditions are expected to improve Thursday.

Access to Yosemite via Highway 41 from Fish Camp, Oakhurst, or Fresno, is closed due to the Railroad Fire. Visitors are advised to travel to use Highway


Renuka Amarasingha’s usual routine was to get her seven-year-old son ready for school before the subway ride to work. From her basement apartment in Scarborough, on the eastern edge of the city, to her cafeteria job at a north Toronto high school, it took little over an hour each way.

It was a long commute, but Ms. Amarasingha was glad to have the job. She was a single mother. And, like many immigrants who built new lives in Canada, she carried with her the weight of what she’d left behind. In her case, it was an elderly mother she supported back in Sri Lanka.

On Monday afternoon, Ms. Amarasingha was heading towardis in custody facing a slew of charges for murder and attempted murder. Also not known is the full list of those who were hurt or killed. So far, six of the 10 killed have been identified by family and friends. Of those who were injured, few have spoken out.

But as new names and faces of the victims have emerged, one thread appears to tie many of them together: Like Ms. Amarasingha, many of them had come from other places.

Chul Min (Eddie) Kang, who was killed, had carved out a busy life working as a chef in a popular chain of Brazilian steakhouses after emigrating from South Korea.

On Monday night, hours after the attacks, panicked phone calls began spreading among members of the Maha Vihara Buddhist Centre in Scarborough.

Ms. Amarasingha, an active member of the temple, hadn’t picked up her son from school, they learned. Their calls to her cellphone weren’t going through. They were worried.

At some point, a few of them went to the hospital to try to track down information. Eventually, news spread of what had happened.

Their minds immediately turned to the seven-year-old boy she had doted over.

Ms. Forsyth was a cancer survivor and, after retiring from running her own small business, loved going with friends to the casino, she said.

The death set into motion tangled global discussions over whether his body could be transported to his home country.

His friend and collaborator, Saeid Ghavami, first met Dr. Kiumarsi at Mashad University in Iran about 30 years ago, and called him a “fantastic mentor.” It was Dr. Kiumarsi, then a junior faculty member, who inspired the young student to pursue graduate studies.

He said his friend has continued this tradition in Toronto, lending support to many students – especially those who are new to Canada. “He’s a great supporter, and I know he’s done a lot to help them.”

A 90-year-old Russian citizen living in Canada was also injured. The Russian embassy in Canada confirmed Wednesdaythan 20 books.

a precise described sample that comprised a set of questions, their correct sequence as well as the manner of asking them. It was also exceptionally important to provide similar interview circumstances for all the people interviewed. These circumstances were very important for the material collected to be compared and then generalized. As the character of the conducted research was connected with exceptionally sensitive and personal areas, which are usually hidden and not easily shared, it was necessary to put the prepared interview questionnaire and poll to a wide range of consultations. The interview questionnaire was first discussed by psychologists and psychotherapists as well as a psychiatric doctor. Their remarks concerned mainly the applied inventory of notions and consequently their suggestions were contained in the interview questionnaire and elaboratedin their original wording, expressed by the people under study. The atmosphere of these conversations is difficult to precisely depict, e.g. the voice, the look of eyes, reflection, unsure look, laugh or emotion, the nervous movement of hands, clapping of hands or whispers. A lot of non-verbal information often accompanied words. The expressions have been selected in such a way as to present, as wide as possible, the different opinions of the people under study on the described issue.

Therefore apart from the consents of the parents of the study subjects and the headmasters of the institutions, additionally a statement on the inviolability of freedom and personal rights of study subjects was submitted to the Polish Bioethical Committee. The study subjects were not legally incapacitated.

Justin Ross Harris, the Georgia man who left his 22-month-old son in a hot car for seven hours last month, was sexting six different women while his son died. Ross sent photos of his "exposed ... erect penis" to the women over the Kik messaging app, Detective Phil Stoddard testified in court. And, because one of the girls was 17 years old, Ross may also face charges for "felony sexual exploitation of a minor and misdemeanor illegal contact with a minor," according to CNN.

Harris was in court to determine if he'd be granted bail and whether his case would go forward. The hearing was set to determine probable cause, which is why the judge allowed testimony on Ross's sexting.

Harris


is charged with the June 18 death of his son Cooper, who he claims he forgot to drop off at day care that morning. Witnesses said they saw Harris run out of the car and shout "Oh, my God, what have I done?" when he discovered his son's body seven hours later. On June 28, however, a search warrant found that Harris has researched children dying in cars and how hot it needs to be for that to happen. His wife also researched children dying in cars, and told police that she'd researched car deaths because it was a fear of hers. Stoddard testified that the Harris family was having financial trouble and had two insurance policies on Cooper, one for $2,000 and one for $25,000.

Every year, Major League Baseball's Play Ball initiative grows, expanding to more cities within the United States and around the world. This year, even more kids from all over the globe will be within a stone's throw of MLB's signature youth program, which encourages young people to, quite simply, play ball.

On Friday, MLB rang in the new year with its first Play Ball event, which took place in the Bahamas and involved a slew of former Major Leaguers and


watching them work was special to me.

“So doing this for the kids and actually having guys from the Major Leagues and Minor Leagues from the United States, who they actually watch on TV ... they can see them, they can take pictures with them, and ask them questions, is special."

The fun-focused Play Ball event included activities that highlight the casual ways in which baseball and softball can be played, including a home run derby, baserunning and mini-games stations. In addition, each participant received a Franklin Play Ball bat and ball set, t-shirts and wristbands to take home.

The list of current and former professional ballplayers present for the Play Ball event was lengthy. In addition to Johnson, retired big leaguers also present in the Bahamas included Dante Bichette, JuanSearch Results

    On November 19, 2012, federal agents arrested Thum
near the San Ysidro Port of Entry in Southern California. On
November 30, 2012, a probation officer in the Southern
District of California filed a petition alleging that Thum
violated 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv), and therefore violated
the terms of his supervised release by committing another

federal crime. Thum denied the allegation, and the district
court held an evidentiary hearing on April 10, 2013.

    At the evidentiary hearing, Special Agent Prescilla
Gonzalez of the Department of Homeland Security testified
that, on November 19, 2012, federal agents followed a man
named Aldo Varguez-Rodriguez from the San Ysidro Port of
Entryto a Jack in the Box fast food restaurant near the
border. The agents decided to follow Varguez-Rodriguez
because they suspected that he had presented a false
identification card to the primary inspection officer at the
border, and that he lacked permission to enter the United
States.

    Agent Gonzalez testified that, upon entering the Jack in
the Box restaurant, Varguez-Rodriguez sat alone at a table for
a few minutes. Shortly thereafter, Thum joined him, and the
two men conversed briefly.1 Next, Thum and Varguez-
Rodriguez left the restaurant together and crossed the street
to a “transportation van area” where vans waited to take
passengers to Los Angeles. Thum then spoke with a ticket
salesperson. Immediately thereafter, Thum and Varguez-
Rodriguez were arrested when they attempted to enter one of
the vans.

Thum to Carlsbad, California if Thum agreed to escort an
illegal alien—Varguez-Rodriguez—from the Jack in the Box
restaurant to a nearby vehicle. Agent Gonzalez further
testified that agents later confirmed that Varguez-Rodriguez
was an illegal alien.

    The government also called Probation Officer Edward
Nover II, who testified that, in his opinion, Thum had
violated the conditions of his supervised release. No other
evidence was taken. Based on the testimony at the
evidentiary hearing, the district court sustained the
government’s allegation, revoked Thum’s supervised release,
sentenced him to time served, and imposed an additional two-
year term of supervised release. In so doing, the district court
concluded that Agent Gonzalez’s testimony showed that
Thum had committed the crime of “encouraging or inducing
[an illegal alien] to reside in the United States,” in violation

Samsung announced late Sunday it has temporarily suspended its business relationship with one of its suppliers after finding evidence of suspected child labor violations at its facilities.

The move comes three days after US activist group China Labor Watch released a new report that detailed children working on assembly lines at Samsung supplier Shinyang Electronics in Dongguan, China. The group's report alleged that several of the seasonal workers in the Dongguan plant were minors who work 11 hours a day, 7 days a week, without overtime pay.

The report also alleged that other labor abuses occurred in the factory, including excessive overtime, lack of worker safety, and poor living conditions.

The South Korean electronics giant responded to the report by saying it would investigate working conditions at Shinyang, one of Samsung'ssuppliers for mobile phone covers and parts.

"Following the investigation, Samsung decided to temporarily suspend business with the factory in question as it found evidences of suspected child labor at the worksite," the company said in a statement. "The decision was made in accordance with Samsung's zero tolerance policy on child labor."

Samsung said it has conducted three separate audits of the Shinyang facility since 2013, the last one ending June 25, but never found any evidence of child labor. Following China Labor Watch's report, Samsung conducted another audit and found evidence that an "illegal hiring process" occurred on June 29, the company said Sunday.

Samsung said that if its investigation concludes that child labor violations occurred, it will permanently sever its business with Shinyang. The company also said it would


through a $6.35 million investment in its Series A round. At this point in time, he was also continually investing into the formation of SpaceX and he was following on in future funding rounds of Tesla with rising largesse and frequency. Despite not “founding” Tesla, his influence rose continuously, stemming from his invaluable operational and financial input.

Moving on to 2006, following Musk’s suggestion and encouragement, his cousins Peter and Lyndon Rive established SolarCity. Musk invested seed capital into the business and assumed the role of chairman. He followed on in three more subsequent rounds between 2007 and 2012.

2008 was a nadir for Musk and potentially the most pivotal point of his career. He was fighting on three fronts to build companies with significant scope and ambition. From aliquidity perspective, his situation reached a flashpoint, with the seemingly infinite PayPal money now reaching its end. A divorce from his first wife also added a $20 million bill that year. Through loans from friends, Musk managed to continue on his course and some unexpected gifts arrived via the first proceeds from his angel investing portfolio (Everdream and Game Trust).

Tesla’s IPO in 2010 marked the end of this era and allowed Musk to consolidate financially and move onwards with his evolving strategy.

Phase 3. Musk the Conglomerator

With Tesla starting to turn the corner, now was the turn of SpaceX, which began to get positive traction through successful trials and contracts. The realms of his three companies began to slowly intertwine, in terms of deals between them and their common


and control that he learned from and applied to his future ventures. The introduction of external venture capital and dilution of his own shares meant that Musk was powerless to resist being ousted as CEO of Zip2. Despite becoming a rich man from the successful sale, its outcome disappointed Musk, as he was unable to carve the company into his vision. Likewise at PayPal, he had significant largesse from his shares and status of founder of X.com, but again he was ousted as CEO. This happened while he was on holiday in Australia, over a dispute over whether to use Microsoft or Unix technology for the platform.

His disappointment with the outcomes comes across in some of the comments he has made about his early experiences. Commenting on Zip2,personal borrowing provides Musk with a powerful financing mechanism is from 2013. With the maturity of a loan from the government approaching, Tesla took to the capital markets to raise new equity to fund the principal repayment. Musk took out a $150 million personal loan from Goldman Sachs to fund buying new stock in the round. In an abstract way, he rolled a part of Tesla’s loan onto his personal balance sheet.

So aside from investing most of his net worth into his businesses, Musk also borrows to leverage more exposure. Because he takes an insignificant salary from his businesses, his goals are completely aligned towards increasing shareholder value. As a key human pillar in his businesses, investors also take comfort seeing him continually investing in them. His risks

Musk invests in what he knows and with people that he knows and trusts. The effect of this has been that, through this natural rapport, he can have more influence on his investments beyond the traditional board and control mechanisms offered to investors. The reciprocity works both ways, as his network has rallied to support him, either through investing in Musk’s companies or in 2010 when he was living on loans of $200,000 a month from his wealthy friends.

The sum is greater than the parts

Sonora, CA – A pickup versus big rig crash on New Priest Grade sent an alleged reckless driver to a trauma center.

According to CHP Sonora Unit spokesperson Officer Steve Machado, the collision occurred on eastbound Highway 120 near Grizzly Road on Saturday afternoon just after 2 o’clock.

The driver of the 2017 Ram 2500 pickup, 53-year-old John Mossett of Chico, was reportedly riding directly at the rear of a 2015 Peterbilt rig hauling a gasoline tanker driven at less than 20 miles-per-hour by 64-year-old John Peeples of Salida.

Macado reports that Mossett crossed over double-yellow lines in an attempt to pass the truck around a blind curve and accelerated the pickup to at least 35 miles-per-hour as a westbound vehicle approached.

At that


point, Macado says the driver of the approaching vehicle and Peeples slammed on their brakes while Mossett attempted to steer back into the eastbound lane. However, when he did so, the right side of the pickup struck the left front of the big rig, then veered out of control, overturning from the south embankment edge. After descending about 200 feet, it landed on its roof against a pine tree.

Mossett, who sustained major injuries, was retrieved from the wreckage via a rope rescue and transported by air ambulance to Doctors Medical Center. According to Macado, the two passengers, 50-year-old Tammy Mossett of Chico and an 11-year-old male family member, climbed up to the roadway to await medical assistance and were transported to Adventist Health of Sonora for treatment ofplay a classical instrument or perform in an ensemble. Students who have music experiences like the ones we provide will see the world and their place in it quite differently. Only a few will become serious musicians, but many will become serious, committed members of their families, communities and professions as a result.

YSPO understands that youth with social and economic challenges need strong role models and caring, committed individuals as their teachers. Committed to social justice and inclusion in music education, our teaching artists are accomplished professional musicians with years of experience teaching disadvantaged and under-served youth, in English and Spanish, to play classical instruments and perform in ensembles.

The World Youth Orchestra program develops skills required as members of an ensemble, not just as individuals. The majority of


students' time is spent practicing as an ensemble. Learning to play a classical instrument and participating in an ensemble has the power to change the trajectory of young lives. For its first seven years, YSPO provided individual and group violin/viola instruction, without charge, during the school day and after school, to Seattle area children with financial need. Each year our programs provide as many as 200 hours of free instruction by experienced and professional teaching artists as well as instrument rental for students in need.

In October 2014 YSPO launched an after-school World Youth Orchestra program at Seattle World School for grades 6-12, thanks to a Youth Arts grant from the City of Seattle’s Office of Arts & Culture.

a dramatically low level for over 15 years (215th place for 224 countries in the CIA World Factbook) .Currently the number of births is almost by half lower than the values recorded during the last demographic boom in the first half of the 1980s. Fertility declined rapidly through the 1960s, rebounded above 2.1 and sunk far below 1.5 and never rebound.

Analysts expected a growth in birth from the mid-90s of the last century. It would be a natural consequence of the large number of women born in the 1970s entering the highest fertility age but this did not happen.

In the years 2004-2009 the total of births increased a little because the effect of “postponed births”. For 25 years a low number of childbirth was not enough for thegenerational replacement. According to the GUS the demographic changes are the result of the choice of young people who want to gain education and economic stability first.

The age the most women gave birth has risen since the beginning of this century, which in 2016 amounted to 29.9 years as compared to 26.1 years in 2000. During this period, the average age of birth of the first child also increased from 23.7 to 27.8 years.

But renowned demographers expect this trend to change miraculously.

Since the accession of Poland to the EU Poles have been leaving the country on a monumental scale. The main reasons of emigration are higher earnings and standard of living abroad and opportunity to travel and explore the world. Poland is exchanging its youth and its future


in return for subsidies and empty highways funded by Brussels.

Those who emigrate are often professionals. Now there is a shortage in Poland among labourers, office technicians and care assistants, the same jobs Polish emigrants do abroad. According to GUS in 2016 the migration balance was positive for the first time in many years. The National Polish Bank, using its own data, announced that there are about 1 million Ukrainians in Poland and this number is rising. It is also estimated that by the end of 2020 some 200-300 thousand Ukrainians will be coming to Poland every year. Official statistics show that more and more Poles come back to Poland. However, are these data correct? Poland is the country of statistical fiction. There is a freedom of movement andis smaller, someone will have to take the place of Polish workers in the countries with. In Western countries, companies are already complaining about a lack of Central European workers. At the same time, unemployment among the young migrants from Syria and Eritrea is about 80 to 90%.

Poland is in a difficult demographic situation. Possible solutions are of course more children and immigrants. As for the first, the government is trying to boost the birth rate with paying 500 zł for every second and consecutive child until they reach 18 years of age. In 2016 maternity leave of 20 and parental leave of 32 weeks were enacted. As for the second solution, immigrants, only those from Europe are welcome.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. — A fundraiser for the St. Louis Society for the Blind has been setup after Wednesday night’s NHL playoff game between the Blues and the Sharks. Fans feel robbed by a controversial goal scored in overtime to give the San Jose Sharks a win. Many say the winning goal was the result of an illegal hand pass.
