her - none of the people seemed to notice her. Her sneakers felt strange on the wood floor, where she'd walked so often in uniform shoes. Her feet turned toward the tables, where she plowed into the wall of no one meeting her gaze. Without hesitation, she continued on past the beeping video games. She touched the cool plastic controller as she passed. She'd only ever played to compete with, now former, coworkers.

Danny's Bar & Grill companionably abutted shops and walk-up apartments on a relatively quiet side street. It didn't stand out to the casual observer. Locals knew you could almost always find at least one or two police officers having a meal or post-shift beer. The whole street stayed remarkably free of graffiti.

No one visibly reactedto the woman walking in. No one met her eye as she glanced around the room. From a stool at the end of the bar, she ordered her usual beer and fries. She hadn't had Danny's homemade fries in quite a long time.

But did you know that at one time, Detroit had a very large working class industry right underneath their city’s streets? Detroit had a very large salt mine that was basically an underground industry underneath their city. It was over 1,500 acres big and had over 100 miles of roads making up this underground salt mine. This mine stretches from Dearborn all the way to Allen Park. The mines were owned and operated by The Detroit Salt and Manufacturing Company. It was booming from the early 1920s up until 1983, when it was forced to close due to the falling salt prices. When business was good, they offered public guided tours, which was very popular


with school groups. You can still see the entrance at 12841 Sanders Street, but it’s only open for delivery trucks. Read further to see exactly what they are delivering.

So how exactly did all of this salt get underneath the city of Detroit? About 400 million years ago, there was an area of land that is now called the Michigan Basin. This area was separated from the ocean but kept sinking lower and lower into the Earth. Because it continued to sink, the salt water from the ocean poured in as the ocean receded. Once the ocean water evaporated, it left behind huge salt deposits.

Throughout hundreds of thousands of years, the Niagara Escarpment was formed. This was a large basalt rock area that covered a lot of land, includingthe whole state of Michigan. Because of this rock, it buried the salt mine, basically preserving it 1200 feet below the Earth. According to some estimates, there is 71 TRILLION tons of salt in these mines. Even though salt is not currently a hot commodity, it was at one time. For example, a long time ago in China, salt coins were used for payments and salt cakes were used in the Mediterranean. Even Romans paid their soldiers in salt.

When the salt was discovered in Detroit in 1895, everyone was thrilled. The Detroit Salt and Manufacturing Company came in 11 years later, in 1906, and decided to start digging a shaft down to the salt. But during this process they went bankrupt due to the high cost of the


project, and many workers lost their lives. But they kept on trying. In 1910, The Detroit Salt and Manufacturing Company completed the 1,060 foot shaft and began working on the second salt bed. They were bought by Watkins Salt Company. After the shaft was completed and the second salt bed complete, they increased their productivity and purity. By 1914, they were able to produce approximately 8,000 tons of rock salt each month.

Due to the productivity, The International Salt Company who had purchased the mine from Watkins Salt Company, decided to increase the productivity even more! They employed more men and used better equipment, which included electric power, locomotives, and mechanical shovels. They decided to build a second shaft in 1922 and finished it in 1925, which increased theemergence of contact-induced varieties, can be regarded as speakers making selections from a pool of linguistic variants made available to them.

Prospective patient registries have been successfully utilized in several disease states with a goal of improving treatment approaches through multi-institutional collaboration. The prevalence of youth with severe obesity is at a historic high in the United States, yet evidence to guide effective weight management is limited. The Pediatric Obesity Weight Evaluation Registry (POWER) was established in 2013 to identify and promote effective intervention strategies for pediatric obesity. Sites in POWER provide multicomponent pediatric weight management (PWM) care for youth with obesity and collect a defined set of demographic and clinical parameters, which they regularly submit to the POWER Data Coordinating Center. A program profile survey was completed


by sites to describe characteristics of the respective PWM programs. From January 2014 through December 2015, 26 US sites were enrolled in POWER and had submitted data on 3643 youth with obesity. Ninety-five percent were 6-18 years of age, 54% female, 32% nonwhite, 32% Hispanic, and 59% publicly insured. Over two-thirds had severe obesity. All sites included a medical provider and used weight status in their referral criteria. Other program characteristics varied widely between sites. POWER is an established national registry representing a diverse sample of youth with obesity participating in multicomponent PWM programs across the United States. Using high-quality data collection and a collaborative research infrastructure, POWER aims to contribute to the development of evidence-based guidelines for multicomponent PWM programs.Chocolate Starfish

Chocolate Starfish are an Australian rock music group formed in 1992, before separating in 1998. By March 1993 the line-up was Zoran Romic on lead guitar, Adam Thompson on lead vocals, Darren Danielson on drums, Norman Falvo on keyboards and backing vocals and John "Stone" Nixon on bass guitar. Their self-titled debut album was issued in April 1994, which peaked at No. 2 on the ARIA Albums Chart. It was followed in October 1995 by their second album, Box, which reached No. 6. Their highest charting single, "You're So Vain", was a cover version of Carly Simon's 1972 hit. It peaked at No. 11 on the ARIA Singles Chart in September 1993. They had another hit with "Mountain" in March 1994, which reached No. 12. The group reformed in 2010, but


Anthony Rath, a 12-year-old fifth-grader who played for Newport Heights Elementary in the 13th annual Daily Pilot Cup, has anaridia. That means he has no irises and is legally blind.

Anthony cannot really see much more than 10 or 15 feet in front of him. Yet despite being born with that disability, the dark-blonde boy with the spiky flat-top haircut from Newport Beach, is able to not only get by in sports and in life. He is thriving.

Anthony was among several unique stories at the Pilot Cup. The forward was one of several boys and girls who embodied the spirit of the weeklong soccer tournament.

He had three shots on goal during Saturday's quarterfinal game, one of which came close to going in for a goal. He has played soccersince he was old enough to play.

Anthony was a champion long before the Pilot Cup. And, he also became a champion at the tournament. The Newport Heights boys' team Anthony played for won the fifth- and sixth-grade silver division title in dramatic fashion. Newport Heights won on PKs, 4-2, against St. John the Baptist.

Soccer isn't the only sport Rath competes in, as he also plays football and basketball. Just like soccer, he plays at two demanding positions, a wide receiver in football and a guard in basketball.

He's also a junior lifeguard.

"I wear contacts to help me out," Anthony said Saturday. "I like playing sports and I'm determined to win. When the ball's close, I can tell the ball's there. When it's not, I can't really see it."

In class,


him believe in himself."

Francis Rath, who works for a distribution company in Newport Beach, has also noticed how his fellow classmates are nice to him.

"I think they have respect for him," Francis Rath said. "He picks it up at five feet. When he gets a hold of it, he just takes off. He's a great kid. He was the best reader in first grade. He loves to read."

A good example of how his classmates and teammates treat Anthony came in football.

"In football, his quarterback tells him, 'I'll throw you the ball,'" Tracy Rath said. "'But if you don't catch it, I may not throw it to you again.' Just like he'd tell any other receiver out there. They've made him believe in himself. It's been an amazing experience."

  2. Hurlbert’s Claims

   Hurlbert, a citizen of California, is the sole proprietor of
Sage Information Services. He is in the business of requesting
real estate tax assessment records for his clients from state
agencies across the United States, including Virginia. On June
5, 2008, Hurlbert submitted a VFOIA request to Henrico
County Assessor’s Office, which the office denied on the
basis of his citizenship. On February 17, 2009, after litigation
in this case had commenced, the County provided Hurlbert
withtime since then. I needed to fill out my poke a little, and since I'd decided not to do that the way I used to, I said, "Yeah, I guess we'd better drive some of them down to the county seat and sell them. You'll pick out the best ones for that?"

"Sí, señor. We can have the herd ready in another three or four days."

"All right, then," I told him with a grin. "Have at it, amigo."

Gabe came to me that night and said, "If you're gonna have a cattle drive, you gotta have a chuck wagon, too."

"We're just driving to the railroad at the county seat," I said. "That'll take, what, three days?"

"If you want to go without eatin' for three days, that's up to you, but


then, and I might just come with him when he does."

"That would be nice. My father and I are staying at the boardinghouse, if you'd care to call on us."

I wasn't sure how the Reverend Franklin Hatfield would feel about his daughter having a suitor who was twice her age. I wasn't even sure how I felt about it. The idea still made guilty feelings stir around inside me. Daisy had a mind of her own, though, and she was determined. She had decided she wasn't going to dance with anybody but me tonight, and by Godfrey, that's the way it had turned out.

"We'll see," I said. "Your father's liable to need help gettin' that church built. I might make a donation."

"We all do the Lord's work inwrong about that. Money has a way of running out, no matter how much of it you have. I've heard people say that they have more than they could ever spend, but I don't believe it. You can always spend more money.

Bert said, "So we won't have to do this again, will we?" I thought he sounded a little disappointed.

"You mean nobody has to risk their lives again," Vince said.

"We'll see," I told them. "You can't ever tell what might come up."

That drew some odd looks from the three youngsters. Enoch and Gabe just smiled a little, and the vaqueros remained impassive.

As for me, the wheels of my brain were spinning around so fast they were about to run away from me. In Enoch, Gabe, Santiago, and the


said, "I've got that."

"Then I'll take another," she said. "I'm not going to let anyone do all my work for me."

Since there was no point in arguing with her, I didn't try. I just smiled and helped her carry half a dozen boxes into the parlor, where we stacked them in a corner. I suppose Daisy's father had made arrangements with the landlady to store them there until the church was built.

Mrs. Higgins was still sitting on the front porch fanning herself when we finished with the chore. As we came outside, she said, "Your daddy asked me to tell you that he's down at the church, Daisy."

"I'm not surprised."

I suggested, "Maybe you'd better go down there and let him know you got back all right. He mightFort Worth Diocese Bars Priest Accused of Sexual MisconductPriest: the Fort Worth Diocese Did Not Know That a Visiting Priest Accused of Sexual Abuse Was Practicing Ministry at an Arlington Parish.

By Darren Barbee
Fort Worth Star Telegram (Texas)
July 1, 2004

ARLINGTON--A Pennsylvania priest suspended because of sexual
misconduct allegations has been barred from practicing in the Fort
Worth Roman Catholic Diocese.

The Rev. Christopher Clay, who maintains his innocence, has
celebrated Mass at St. Mary the Virgin Roman Catholic Church in
Arlington for more than a year without the diocese's knowledge,
said the Rev. Robert Wilson, the diocese's chancellor.

"He cannot perform any kind of priestly duties," Wilson said.

Clay, who lives in Oak Cliff, has been on a leave of absence
from active ministry in the Diocese of Scranton since February
2003, according to a statement from the Pennsylvania


diocese.

The Rev. Allan Hawkins of St. Mary said that he was aware of
allegations against his friend Clay but invited him to celebrate
Mass at the Arlington church because he believed Clay was on sick
leave. In an e-mail, Hawkins said Clay had been appointed to a Lake
Ariel, Pa., parish in 2003 before asking for a leave of absence.

Hawkins said that he contacted the Scranton diocese around March
2003 to make sure Clay could assist at St. Mary.

The now-retired Scranton bishop "assured me that this was
entirely acceptable," Hawkins wrote. In a statement issued last
week, the Diocese of Scranton said no diocese had requested
information about Clay.

Allegations against Clay first came to light during a 2002
law-enforcement investigation, a Scranton diocese spokeswoman said.
The diocese is still investigating the incident, Wilson said
Wednesday.

Rocky Gabel, the founder and organizer of the ride, Friday presented the check to Tami Kratz, co-captain of the Lafarge Relay for Life Team Friday. Also on hand for the donation was Mary Dahl, community representative for the American Cancer Society, which organizes relays.

Kratz said her team “does a fundraising breakfast the morning of the bike run, and in return for it, we get this wonderful donation.”

Gabel said proceeds from this year’s run were slightly down from past rides, but he plans to make changes for the next run which should


event has grown since it began in 2009.

Debbie died from ovarian cancer in 2009. Debbie was diagnosed with cancer in 2005. She went through seven surgeries and three rounds of chemo-therapy before she died from the disease.

“We started with 55 bikes the first year, and had 200 this year,” Rocky said.

The event also included an appearance from the Minnesota Vikings cheerleaders, the breakfast served by Relay for Life, a raffle, a silent auction and supper at the VFW, and street dance. The raffle’s grand prize, a 2012 Harley Davidson Heritage Classic, was won by a woman who has a son with cancer.

For future rides, Rocky said the raffle grand prize might be changed to something else. “I plan to change things up a bit,” he said.

Seven years ago, Smith and a team of students, researchers, and Guatemalan collaborators began tracking more than five hundred local families, all with pregnant mothers or infants less than four months old. The families were divided, at random, into two groups. Half were given plancha stoves with chimneys; the other half continued to cook over open fires. (After two years, when the first phase of the study was over, the second group got stoves as well.) Every week, Smith’s team would give the families a medical checkup and download the data from its sensors. In this way, they could track their pollution exposure and its effects in real time.


son, Wilder, lurched in with his baby sister, Milvia, in his arms. She was tightly bundled in blankets, with a blue-and-white knit cap on. Her face was covered in dried phlegm and she was crying hard, with a steady, wheezing cough. Jiménez lifted her up and laid her against her shoulder. Her daughter had been sick for eight days, she told us, and was running a fever. “You should take her to the clinic,” Smith said. “Eight days is a long time at that age.” Jiménez looked at him with hooded eyes and turned back to the stove. If she went to the clinic, they’d just send her to the hospital, she said. “And that’s where people go to die.”

London: Dominic Cummings, one of the top advisers to UK PM Boris Johnson, has been accused of violating the ongoing lockdown against the Coronavirus. It is alleged that Dominic Cummings traveled hundreds of miles from London to County Durham during the lockdown when symptoms of the coronavirus were found.

On giving information, a close source has told that Cummings and his wife went to his parents' house to quarantine themselves. After this high-profile case came to light, the main opposition Labor Party demanded an immediate response from Boris Johnson regarding Cummings, saying that he considered himself above the law. The Liberal Democrats have expressed the possibility of resignation in this case.

Appellant's amended motion for new trial was overruled, and his case is now before this court on appeal and for our mandatory review of the death sentence imposed.

I. Summary of the Evidence
The state presented evidence from which the jury was authorized to find the following:
On the afternoon of September 19, 1974, the appellant approached John A. Brown, a close friend, and asked for his assistance in the killing of appellant's wife, Barbara J. Alderman. The appellant told Brown that if he helped he would split one-half the proceeds of his wife's life insurance policy with him. At first Brown thought Alderman was only "kidding,"


but Alderman's persistence convinced Brown that he was serious.
Two days later the appellant called Brown and asked him to come over to his apartment in Chatham County. When Brown arrived the appellant handed him a 12-inch crescent wrench and told him, "it had to be done...all you have to do is hit her with the wrench." Brown hesitated, but after the appellant threatened him with a gun, Brown proceeded into the dining room where he struck Mrs. Alderman in the back of the head with the wrench. Mrs. Alderman screamed and ran into the living room where she was tackled by her husband. He held her down, and with Brown's assistance, attempted to strangle her. After she passed out, the appellant asked Brown if he thought she wasgave Brown for his help. From there they went to a bar and started drinking. At around 10 p. m. Brown and the appellant returned to the apartment. Mrs. Alderman's body was still in the bathtub, but only a small amount of water remained in the bottom of the tub. They picked her up out of the tub, put her body on a quilt and rolled her up in it. Her body was then placed in the trunk of her car. Brown drove the car while Alderman followed behind on a motorcycle. They drove to Rincan, Georgia, in Effingham County. When they arrived at Dasher Creek, Mrs. Alderman's body was taken out of the trunk and put in the driver's seat of her automobile. Brown put the vehicle


in drive and released the emergency brake. The car rolled into the creek. Before leaving, Brown opened the door to permit the body to fall out. The two then departed on the motorcycle.
At trial the appellant testified in his own behalf. He denied having anything to do with the death of his wife. He testified that on the night in question he and his wife had engaged in a conversation concerning her inability to become pregnant. She had told him that because she was only half a woman she was going to leave him to allow someone else to better fill her position. She grabbed her pocketbook and went out the back door. Appellant testified that at approximately 7 p. m. he left the apartment and caught abus to get a drink. He returned home at approximately 10 p. m. but his wife was not at home. He then decided to go to Rincan, where Mrs. Alderman's grandmother resided, in order to apologize to his wife. The appellant testified that when he crossed the bridge at Dasher Creek, he saw his wife's car in the creek. The door was open and his wife's body was lying under water. The appellant testified that she was dead. When he heard a car coming he got on his motorcycle and returned to a bar in Savannah. Appellant testified that he did not know why he had left his wife's body in the creek; that he *499 recalled nothing of his trip back to Savannah; and, the fact that


his wife was dead had completely left his mind. Appellant testified that he first realized the full facts surrounding his wife's death after being treated by a psychiatrist who was able to bring back his memory as to the events of that night. He stated that after being treated he realized that fear had caused him to leave his wife's body in the creek because he knew her family would blame him for her death.
The evidence will be examined in more detail as necessary in addressing appellant's enumerations of error.

II. Enumerations of Error
1. The appellant contends that the trial court improperly excused five prospective jurors in violation of Witherspoon v. Illinois, 391 U. S. 510 (88 SC 1770, 20 LE2d 776) (1968).
Prior to the individual voir dire, theI said we began with the preliminary just trying to get the background for the investigation started. How long it had been since he had seen her and one thing and another like that, and then toward the end of the interview, he became sort of frustrated with the nature of the questions being asked him, and he decided at that time he would exercise his right to an attorney, and so at that time the interview was just terminated when he stated that he wished to remain silent. He was asked no questions regarding the stains .. ." (Emphasis supplied.)
Although the appellant's counsel made no objection at trial to either the district attorney's question or the GBI agent's response, he now contends on appeal, citing Doyle v.


. . .has ordinarily been advised. . . that he has a right to remain silent, and that anything he does say can and will be used against him." United States v. Hale, supra, at 176. In addition, the court noted that there may be other explanations for the defendant's silence, stemming from "inherent pressures of in-custody interrogation."
One year later, in Doyle v. Ohio, supra, the United States Supreme Court held that the use for impeachment purposes of a defendant's silence, at the time of his arrest and after receiving Miranda warnings, violated the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Doyle reached the same result as Hale but in Doyle, the Supreme Court based its decision on constitutional grounds. In Doyle, the court quoted approvingly from Justicea polygraph examination which, in fact, had never been taken. The agent's reference to a polygraph examination had no probative value and did not bolster Brown's credibility.
Appellant's enumeration of error is, therefore, without merit.
*509 5. Appellant contends that the trial court erred in overruling his motion for a directed verdict on the state's failure to prove venue.
At trial, John Brown, appellant's accomplice, testified that the initial blow to the victim's head, the attempted strangulation, and the placing of the victim's body in the bathtub all occurred in appellant's apartment in Chatham County, Georgia. The body remained motionless after the initial attack for a period of time while the appellant and his accomplice went out for a few drinks. Brown testified that when they returned to the apartment they


type of the stains found on the appellant's trousers matched the blood type of the victim. There was testimony concerning a motorcycle kickstand impression where the victim's body was found, as well as testimony from a witness who stated that as he drove toward the creek a motorcycle passed by in the opposite direction, and on the left hand side of the motorcycle he saw something white flapping in the wind. Defendant owned a motorcycle and admitted driving his motorcycle to the creek scene on the night in question. This evidence corroborated the accomplice's testimony that he and the appellant had departed the scene on a motorcycle and that the appellant was holding the quilt in which Mrs. Alderman's body had been wrapped.
The corroborating evidence was sufficient toaffirming this death penalty case.
First, as to the merits, the majority attempt to distinguish Doyle by saying it held that the use of the defendant's post-arrest, post-Miranda silence for impeachment purposes violates due process, but that here the defendant was not under arrest "when his interview with the GBI agent began," the facts do not show a custodial interrogation and the GBI agent's testimony was elicited by the state upon direct examination and not for impeachment purposes.
It is true that the defendant was not under arrest when the interview began, but he was under arrest when it ended. At some point the "interview" became "interrogation," because the defendant became frustrated with the nature of the questions being asked him. The GBI agent did not say when the interrogation


began or when the Miranda warning was given. In its effort to distinguish Doyle, the majority therefore infer that the defendant here chose to exercise his right to remain silent and consult an attorney before he was arrested and before he was given his Miranda warning. That effort to *515 distinguish Doyle is based upon surmise rather than the record.
The emphasis on impeachment in Doyle v. Ohio, 426 U. S. 610 (96 SC 2240, 49 LE2d 91) (1976), was because no one contended that evidence as to the defendant's silence was admissible during the state's case in chief, because under Miranda such evidence was admissible, if at all, only for purposes of impeachment as in Oregon v. Hass, 420 U. S. 714 (95 SC 1215, 43 LE2d 570)entitled to as many peremptory challenges to such alternate jurors as there are alternate jurors called. The defendant shall be entitled to additional peremptory challenges in an amount twice greater than the additional peremptory challenges of the State. The peremptory challenges allowed to the State and defendant in such event shall be in addition to the regular number of peremptory challenges allowed in criminal cases to the defendant and State as now provided by law." In the selection of two alternate jurors the state was entitled to two peremptory challenges, the defendant four. When the second alternate juror was selected the state had only exercised one of its two peremptory challenges thus leaving the state with one additional challenge. The two alternate jurors were sequestered after the charge


Morse moving north to new parish

After nearly seven years pastoring the Lovell and Deaver United Methodist Churches, Rev. Paula Morse is moving north.

Morse, who moved from her native Montana to Lovell in August of 2007 to lead the Lovell and Deaver churches, has accepted a call to take a three-point charge, the Clark Fork Parish of Idaho and Montana, serving the small towns of Clark Fork, Idaho, and Heron and Noxon, Mont., east of Sandpoint, Idaho. She will live in Clark Fork.

Morse’s departure is part of a transition taking place among local United Methodist congregations. The Lovell church is linking with the Powell United Methodist Church, and Rev. Jim Barth is moving south from Browning, Mont., to pastor both churches as of July 1. His first service inLovell will be Sunday, July 13, at 9 a.m. The Deaver United Methodist Church will go to a chapel system, with members conducting their own Sunday services.

Morse is returning, at least in part, to her native Montana. She became active in the United Methodist Church while living in Denton, Mont., for 25 years, then in Whitehall for seven more years. She taught junior high/senior high Sunday school for 12 years, then started working at the conference level, serving on the nominations committee and the district committee on ordained ministry, as well as the guiding values committee, a post she retains today.

She completed a course of study in ministry through the Claremont College of Theology in California.

Morse said she will miss her church family in Lovell and Deaver and


Survival after traumatic spinal cord injury in Denmark: a hospital-based study among patients injured in 1990-2012.
Hospital-based cohort study at Spinal Cord Injury Centre of Western Denmark (VCR). To examine the overall survival and mortality over time adjusted for age at the time of injury and gender. Review of medical records of traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) patients admitted at VCR between 1990 and 2012. The patients were followed up until death, emigration or end of study (December 2014). Survival and mortality rate ratios (MRRs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated for sub-groups defined by year of injury (1990-1994, 1995-1999, 2000-2004, 2005-2009 and 2010-2012). Mortality was analysed using Cox proportional hazard regression. Adjustment for gender and age at injury was performed (restricted cubic splines).

An NYPD cop tried to collect insurance money on a BMW he said was stolen — but was busted for fraud when it turned out the car had gone up in flames two days before the officer claimed it went missing, prosecutors said Thursday.

Officer Kirk Peddie, 43, was arrested Thursday morning and charged with insurance fraud, attempted grand larceny, providing false sworn statements and official misconduct, among other charges, according to the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office.

The 15-year veteran cop reported to police on Christmas Day of 2016 that his BMW 650i convertible was stolen from a parking spot near his home in Brooklyn Heights after he left it there Dec. 22, authorities said.

The cop then filed a claim with his insurance company and gave two sworn statements withExpo-magic of the white city - Essay Example

The documentary also makes a description of Midway Plaisance and features sideshows, belly dancing, street fighting, a large Ferris wheel and even salons and other activities that marked the beginning of the 21st century. The legacy that the ventures in the documentary left is also not left outside of the discussion in the documentary (Connelly, 2). 1) Discussing How the Columbian World's Fair Highlighted the Technological Delights


and Cosmopolitan Pleasures of the Progressive Era There are several ways by which the Columbian world's fair highlighted the technological delights of the progressive era. One of these ways is the large Ferris wheel which served as the paragon of technological and industrial advancement. These are non-building structures comprising the rotating upright wheel and passenger cars [gondolas]. These are kept attached to the wheel in a manner that as the wheel turns; the force of gravity keeps the cars upright. It is for this reason that at the end of the 20th century, roller coaster, theme parks and carnival observations became increasingly popular. Conversely, there are also ways by which the Columbian world’s fair reflected the cosmopolitan pleasures of the progressive era. Some of these manifestations of thecosmopolitan pleasures of the aforementioned era include acts of revelry such as belly dancing, street fighting, riding on and participating in roller coaster rides, theme parks and carnival observations. ...
2) Discussing How The Fair Highlighted The Imperialism of The Late Nineteenth Century And How The Anglo Saxon Culture of The West Tried To Dominate The Culture of The Rest of The World Through Colonization It is a fact that the fair highlighted the imperialism of the 19th century. The Anglo Saxon culture of the West tried to dominate the culture of the rest of the world through colonization by using superior weapons that they had acquired from their industrial revolution and development that took place before the close of the 20th century. With these superior weapons, colonial masters


were able to safely travel the world in search of more colonies, and to bring the autochthones into capitulation, whenever the two groups came across each other. It is the same technological advancement that helped the Anglo Saxon culture of the West entrench the unequal relations between themselves and their colonies. Particularly, the technological advancement allowed the Anglo Saxons to extract resources from colonies and transport them to the United Kingdom for processing and use. In another wavelength, the fair highlights how the Anglo Saxon culture of the West tried to dominate other cultures through colonization through the use of the concept of socio-cultural atavism. Because of being technologically endowed, the Anglo Saxon felt that it was more culturally advanced and that in this respect; it had themandate and call to bring other societies that were perceived to be uncivilized, into civilization. Interestingly, colonialism was to be the conduit and model through which this civilization of colonies was to be socio-culturally emancipated. Conversely, the Anglo Saxons of

at a Glendale, Arizona, mobile home lot, Florys went to Alamo's lot in Ontario, California, in an attempt to get a better price on that model. According to the record, Florys indicated to Alamo that they wanted the wall-to-wall carpeting normally installed to be omitted and linoleum used in its place. Alamo called the factory sales representative in this regard, who suggested that tile be put down rather than linoleum, because of the problem which would be caused by the middle seam between the two halves of the mobile home. Alamo relayed this suggestion to Florys and took them to a floor covering store where Florys selected the tile they wanted. The factory put no covering on the floor where Florys wanted the carpeting omitted.
At the time ofthe sale, Alamo made certain representations to Florys, among them that a one-year warranty came with the mobile home, that Coleman heaters were installed in Silvercrest mobile homes at that time, that the mobile home was specially built, that it would be built to meet the Arizona Code, and that they would be allowed to inspect it at the factory. The record indicates that the one-year warranty was not given to Florys when the mobile home was delivered, that the home was equipped with an Armstrong heater rather than a Coleman heater, that it was built as part of an assembly-line process, that it had several problems which were defined as Arizona Code defects, and that Florys were not afforded an opportunity to inspect the mobile home at


the factory.
Florys testified that they paid $2,000 down at the time they signed the contract of sale and $7,818 before the coach was transported to Arizona. Their contract indicates that they agreed to pay the balance upon delivery of the coach to their lot in Payson, Arizona. The mobile home was delivered to Florys' lot on November 21, 1973, and was later set up by an independent contractor hired by Alamo. On December 5, 1973, Florys sent a list of defects in the mobile home to both Alamo and Silvercrest. On January 2, 1974, they sent another list, which the factory hired Alamo's setup man to remedy. On January 23, 1974, Florys sent yet another list of defects. After the independent contractor hired to do the setup andwarranty work left a note on February 2, 1974, saying he had done all he could do, Florys sent another list of defects to Alamo, filed a complaint with the Arizona Division of Building Codes and refused to move into the home or pay the balance of the purchase price due. More attempts to remedy Florys' complaints by Silvercrest, the manufacturer, followed, yet the mobile home was never fixed to Florys' satisfaction. The tile which they had purchased to cover the floor was never installed because the floor was not prepared to accept the tile, which Florys felt was the manufacturer's responsibility. Florys never moved into the mobile home. They filed their complaint in this action on January 21, 1975. Alamo repossessed the mobile home in November 1977,


As AI and Robots Become Commonplace, More People are Identifying as 'Digisexuals'

The idea of humans falling in love with ostensibly inanimate or insentient objects is nothing new. In Metamorphoses , the Roman poet Ovid told the story of Pygmalion, a sculptor who carved a statue of a woman from ivory and promptly fell in love with it. Unable to shake his ardent longing, Pygmalion prepares to offer supplications to the Gods during the feast of Venus (the Roman goddess of love) for his statue to be brought to life. In Ovid's telling, Pygmalion hesitates, ashamed, and instead asks for a partner that looks like his statue. Knowing his actual desire, Venus brings his statue to life and, unlike other Greek myths, the couple marries and lives happily everafter.Similar themes have emerged in more recent cultural offerings, including Her and HBO's West World . In each of these narratives, an outsider frustrated or unsatisfied by conventional relationships experiences a kind of epiphany after locating fulfillment in technology. For Pygmalion, it's art. For Her's Theodore Tombley, it's an AI operating system. For William/The Man In Black, it's a combination of both art and AI in West World's robotic hosts. It's worth noting here that the word "technology" is derived in part from the ancient Greek word tékhnē, meaning craft, skill, or art. The Oxford English Dictionary notes that the modern use of the word as it relates to the mechanical arts and sciences didn't emerge until the 18th century.These and other narratives allude to two things in


comes through the use of technology." The authors further defined digisexuals in a recent article in The Conversation as people who see "immersive technologies such as sex robots and virtual reality pornography as integral to their sexual experience, and who feels no need to search for physical intimacy with human partners." In a recent article in The New York Times, Twist, a human development and family studies professor at the University of Wisconsin-Stout with a family and sexuality therapy practice, said that there's now a generation of "second wave" digisexuals that have only had sexual experiences through technology. "They haven't had contact with humans, and really don't have any interest in sex with people," Twist told the Times. "This is what they want to be doing, and ifthey could afford a sex robot, they would." This generation of digisexuals have gone beyond what Twist and McArthur call the "first wave" which leveraged technology as a means of connecting with people.Although much is made about anthropomorphic sex robots, these technologies are as wide-ranging as you might expect, with some not seeming to have any overt sexual function. Last November, we reported on Akihiko Kondo , a 35-year-old Japanese man who married a hologram, much to his family's dismay.

The Trump-Putin talks overshadowed the EU-Ukraine meeting.

Their pomp is also gearing-up to overshadow a Nato summit in Brussels this week, with Trump and Putin to bring hundreds of aides, security staff, and business chiefs in their delegations, and with Finland saying it would introduce checks on internal EU borders to maintain security due to the sale of the event.

"Russia's image must not only depend on the organisation of football championships … but on what is the reality, the substance of its politics," Tusk said on Monday, referring to Russia's hosting of the World Cup finals and its posturing more broadly speaking.

Naming names

The EU and Ukraine's joint declaration, unusually, listed the names of six Russian political prisoners,including Oleg Sentsov, a Ukrainian film maker who is on hunger strike.

The declaration, issued in the name of the 28 EU states, also "reiterated our strong condemnation of the clear violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity by acts of aggression by the Russian armed forces."

"We continue to condemn the illegal annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol by the Russian Federation … We remain committed to fully implement our respective non-recognition policies," it said.

"The EU recently again renewed its economic sanctions on Russia, the duration of which remains clearly linked to the complete implementation of the Minsk agreements," it added, referring to the so-called Minsk ceasefire pact, which obliges Russia to withdraw forces from east Ukraine.

Rockets and explosions continued to light up the sky in the region in the


run-up to Monday's meeting in Brussels and Tuesday's football semi-final in Russia.

The EU statements on Ukraine's territorial integrity have been commonplace since Russia invaded its neighbour in 2014.

The EU and US have also walked in lockstep on non-recognition and on Russia sanctions.

But Trump has thrown US foreign policy into doubt ahead of his Helsinki summit, saying "we're going to have to see" whether he recognises Russia's claim to Crimea, legitimising a Russian war of conquest in Europe.

He has also thrown into doubt the US commitment to Nato, berating allies for not spending enough money on defence before he meets them in Brussels on Wednesday and Thursday.

Poroshenko will be at the Nato event, amid Ukraine's aspirations to join the Western bloc in the long term and amid its appealssaid.

He admitted that there was "little news" on EU efforts to oversee the Russian-German project due to "different opinions" among EU states, in a nod to its Austrian, Dutch, French, and German backers, however, and in a sign of the limits of EU solidarity with Ukraine despite the Trump threat.


Failing Health Care Co-ops Will Cost Taxpayers

Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan Programs (COOPs) were really a political compromise between Members of Congress who wanted a public plan option and those who didn’t. Once the Affordable Care Act passed, COOPs had outlived their usefulness. However, they are now failing and will cost taxpayers plenty. Senior Fellow Devon Herrick testified before a congressional committee.

An eight-year study of soybeans grown outdoors in a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere like that expected by 2050 has yielded a new and worrisome finding: Higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations will boost plant growth under ideal growing conditions, but drought – expected to worsen as the climate warms and rainfall patterns change – will outweigh those benefits and cause yield losses much sooner than anticipated.

A former executive of British investment bank Barclays, Chris Tyrer, has joined Fidelity Digital Assets, the crypto platform of American financial services corporation Fidelity Investments, Finance Magnates reported on April 30.

Tyrer began working on digital assets for Fidelity Investments after serving over 13 years at Barclays as Head of Digital Assets Project, Head of Commodities Trading, and Global Head of Crude Oil Trading, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Tyrer and commodity trader Matthieu Jobbe Duval reportedly attempted to establish a digital currency trading desk at the bank, but the project was reportedly put on hold as prices continued to fall at the end of 2018.

As reported earlier in April, Fidelity Digital Assets named former Head of Equity Electronic Sales for the Americas at Barclays Christine Sandler as Head ofSales and Marketing.

Fidelity Digital Assets went live in the beginning of March with a selected group of clients. The company’s head Tom Jessop said then that they were still working on various parts of the platform. He noted that while some users have been on the platform since January, others may wait until September, as it “really depends on the facts and circumstances of each client.”

In February, Fidelity Investments received and passed on the Lightning Torch — a community-driven experiment aimed at raising awareness about the protocol and testing its robustness — to the Harvard School Blockchain & Crypto Club. The trend first reportedly started when Twitter user and bitcoin (BTC) enthusiast Hodlonaut sent 10,000 satoshis (the smallest, indivisible denomination of a bitcoin) to another Lightning user, and


HIV man acquitted after unprotected sex

Share this article

A Swedish court of appeal acquitted a man with HIV after he had been sentenced to a year in prison for having unprotected sex with four women despite knowing that he was infected with the virus.

The man had been handed a 150,000 kronor fine ($24,000) in addition to a year in prison. He appealed the ruling as he said he was being treated for the illness and none of the four women he had intercourse with became infected.

According to Swedish law, it is a criminal offence for someone who knowingly carries HIV to have unprotected sex.

The court of appeal in Malmö, southern Sweden, acquitted the man on Tuesday as it said a prerequisite for a conviction was "causing danger for another"and that his actions would have exposed the women to a "real danger" of serious illness.

Experts from the Swedish Institute for Communicable Disease Control (Smittskyddsinstitutet), who recently published a report on HIV, and Professor Jan Albert at the Karolinska University gave testimony and argued that the risk of infection was very small despite the man not using a condom.

The reason for the risk of infection being so small, argued the experts, was that the man was undergoing treatment for the illness and that it was going well.

The report added that HIV was no longer a "death sentence" provided it is caught early and treated, but public suspicion of the illness remains high.

Prior to his acquittal the man had been released from prison ahead of his appeal ruling. One

The past few years have seen a house by house, neighborhood by neighborhood attack on the settlements, by small but well funded organizations such as Peace Now and Yesh Din. They advance their cause of targeting and bringing down the Jewish communities of Judea and Samaria through a staggering onslaught of belated, often dubious lawsuits.

Typically, those suits are filed years after Jewish residents had paid in full for their property, or were given the land and financial support by the Ministry of Housing and government agencies. Suddenly, an allegedly rightful,also supports the settlements, and some even the outright annexation of Judea and Samaria, ends up capitulating to a kind of permanent, left-wing, anti-settlement rule.

Those issues of a miniscule, left-wing, secularist elite ruling over a vast majority of Jews who are traditional-to-religious, permeate in many other aspects of Israel’s society, but they find their most poignant expression in the debate over the future of the disputed territories.

pure gold, but because of the limits of refining techniques, in practice the coins were often about 23k fine (95.8% gold). In the Greek-speaking world during the Roman period, and then in the Byzantine economy, the solidus was known as the νόμισμα nomisma (plural nomismata).[2] In the 10th century Emperor Nicephorus II Phocas (963–969) introduced a new lightweight gold coin called the tetarteron nomisma that circulated alongside the solidus, and from that time the solidus (nomisma) became known as the ἱστάμενον νόμισμα histamenon nomisma in the Greek speaking world. Initially it was difficult to distinguish the two coins, as they had the same design, dimensions and purity, and there were no marks of value to distinguish the denominations. The only difference was the weight. The tetarteron nomisma wasa lighter coin, about 4.05 grams, but the histamenon nomisma maintained the traditional weight of 4.5 grams. To eliminate confusion between the two, from the reign of Basil II (975–1025) the solidus (histamenon nomisma) was struck as a thinner coin with a larger diameter, but with the same weight and purity as before. From the middle of the 11th century the larger diameter histamenon nomisma was struck on a concave flan, though the smaller tetarteron nomisma continued to be struck on a smaller flat flan.

Former money changer Michael IV the Paphlagonian (1034–41) assumed the throne of Byzantium in 1034 and began the slow process of debasing both the tetarteron nomisma and the histamenon nomisma. The debasement was gradual at first, but then accelerated rapidly: about 21 carats (87.5%


pure) during the reign of Constantine IX (1042–1055), 18 carats (75%) under Constantine X (1059–1067), 16 carats (66.7%) under Romanus IV (1068–1071), 14 carats (58%) under Michael VII (1071–1078), 8 carats (33%) under Nicephorus III (1078–1081) and 0 to 8 carats during the first eleven years of the reign of Alexius I (1081–1118). Alexius reformed the coinage in 1092 and eliminated the solidus (histamenon nomisma) altogether. In its place he introduced a new gold coin called the hyperpyron nomisma at about 20.5k fine (85%). The weight, dimensions and purity of the hyperpyron nomisma remained stable until the fall of Constantinople to the Crusaders in 1204. After that time the exiled Empire of Nicea continued to strike a debased hyperpyron nomisma. Michael VIII recaptured Constantinople in 1261, and thefound in Russia, Central Europe, Georgia, and Syria. In the 7th century they became a desirable circulating currency in Arabian countries. Since the solidi circulating outside the empire were not used to pay taxes to the emperor, they did not get reminted, and the soft pure-gold coins quickly became worn.[2]

Through the end of the 7th century, Arabian copies of solidi — dinars minted by the caliph Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan, who had access to supplies of gold from the upper Nile — began to circulate in areas outside the Byzantine Empire. These corresponded in weight to only 20 carats (4.0 g), but matched the weight of the lightweight (20 siliquae) solidi that were circulating in those areas. The two coins circulated together in these areas for a time.[2]

The


the solidus or sol was a paper accounting unit equivalent to one-twentieth of a pound (librum or livre) of silver and divided into 12 denarii or deniers.[4] The monetary unit disappeared with decimalisation and introduction of the Franc during the French revolution (1st republic) in 1795, but the coin of 5 centimes, the twentieth part of the Franc, inherited the name "sou" as a nickname: in the first half of the 20th century, a coin or an amount of 5 francs was still often referred to as cent sous.

To this day, in French around the world, solde means the balance of an account or invoice, and is the specific name of a soldier's salary. Although the sou as a coin disappeared more than two centuries ago, the wordis still used as a synonym of money in many French phrases: avoir des sous is being rich, être sans le sou is being poor (same construction as "pennyless").

In Canadian French, sou and sou noir are commonly employed terms for the Canadian cent. Cenne and cenne noire are also regularly used. The standard French word centime is not used in Quebec. In Canada one hundredth of a dollar is officially known as a cent (pronounced /sɛnt/) in both English and French. However, in practice, a feminine form of cent, cenne (pronounced /sɛn/) has completely replaced the official "cent". Spoken and written use of the official masculine form of cent in francophone Canada is exceptionally uncommon. Interestingly, quarter dollars in colloquial Quebec French are sometimes still called trente-sous (thirty


cennes are also frequently used to refer to money in general, especially small amounts.

The name of the medieval Italian silver soldo (plural soldi), coined since the 11th century, was derived from solidus.

This word is still in common use today in Italy in its plural soldi with the same meaning as the English equivalent "money". The word "saldo", like the French solde mentioned above, means the balance of an account or invoice. It also means "seasonal rebate", probably by contamination between the original meaning and the English word "sales".

As with soldier in English, the Spanish and Portuguese equivalent is soldado (almost the same pronunciation). The name of the medieval Spanishsueldo and Portuguese soldo (which also means salary) were derived from solidus; the Filipino term sweldo is derived from theunder four shillings (the legacy soldus). The term soles de oro was introduced in 1933, three years after Peru had actually abandoned the gold standard. In 1985 the Peruvian sol was replaced at one thousand to one by the inti, representing the sun god of the Incas. By 1991 it had to be replaced with a new sol at a million to one, after which it remained reasonably stable.

King Offa of Mercia began minting silver pennies on the Carolingian system c. 785. As on the continent, English coinage was restricted for centuries to the penny, while the scilling, understood to be the value of a cow in Kent or a sheep elsewhere,[6] was merely a unit of account equivalent to 12 pence. The Tudors minted the first shilling

Looks like it's a grim time to be a mobile phone manufacturer if you are not Apple or Samsung. According to the latest report by Asymco, Apple and Samsung accounted for 99 percent of the total mobile phone profits, with HTC taking the remaining 1 percent.

Out of the 99 percent Apple took the majority of it with an astounding 73 percent, with Samsung being left with the remaining 26 percent despite being the world's largest mobile phone manufacturer right now. As mentioned before, HTC took 1 percent out of the total and everybody else, including RIM, Nokia, LG, Motorola and Sony Mobile reported a loss in the first quarter.

Niederer said the damage at Tyndall was comparable to what he saw in the Virgin Islands and St. Maarten last year after Hurricanes Maria and Irma.

He also described the scary conditions experienced by the small number of base leaders that rode out the storm in what they thought was a secure facility.

"They were doing well until the winds reached 150 (sustained) knots then gusted to 170," said Niederer. "It blew the roof off the facility they were in. At that point, the eye of the storm passed over and when they went out to observe the environment around them they realized they were going to have a lot

There are only 183 F-22 aircraft in the Air Force's inventory, with each of the advanced stealth aircraft costing $135 million each. With production lines no longer in existence, any irreparably damaged F-22s cannot be replaced.

Niederer said his team would soon begin readying operations to offload military aircraft delivering cargo and personnel to the base.

"We'll be receiving aircraft filled with engineering capability, lodging capability and personnel in order to help clean up the base proper and get the operations back up and running as quickly as possible," he said.

With no food, power, fuel or running water available on the base, his team will have enough supplies to sustain them for five days while they begin the arduous task of beginning 24-hour operations at the base.BEIJING (Reuters) - Attackers drove a car into a government building in China's unruly far western region of Xinjiang on Wednesday and set off an explosive device killing one person, while all four of the attackers were shot dead, the regional government said.

Hundreds of people have been killed over the past years in resource-rich Xinjiang, on the borders of central Asia, in violence between the Muslim Uighur people who call the region home and ethnic majority Han Chinese.

The government has blamed the unrest on Islamist militants, though rights groups and exiles say anger at Chinese controls on the religion and culture of Uighurs is more to blame for the unrest. China denies any repression in Xinjiang.

In a short statement on its main news website, the Xinjiang government said


the incident occurred just before 5 p.m. (0900 GMT) in Karakax county, deep in southern Xinjiang's Uighur heartland.

It said the four "thugs" drove a vehicle into a yard at the county Communist Party offices and detonated an "explosive device", but were all shot dead.

Three people were injured and one other died, it added, without giving details.

"At present, local social order is stable," the government said.

In a separate English language report, the official Xinhua news agency described the incident as a "terrorist attack". It gave no other details aside from those in the government statement.

Xinjiang had generally been quiet this year, with no major reported attacks or other violent incidents.

Among the top 20 fastest growing occupations over a 15-year period between 2001 and 2016 were health care related jobs in nursing, psychiatric services and home health aids, according to DBEDT, which said this reflected demand for services from Hawaii’s growing elderly population.

By percentage growth, the fastest growing occupations between 2001 and 2016 were in the health care and construction industries. Nursing, psychiatric, and home health aid workers increased 71.4 percent between 2001 and 2016; construction trade workers increased 53.2 percent; and occupational therapy and physical therapist assistants increased 50.9 percent during the same period.

DBEDT’s report also found the following:

In contrast, the state's GOP leaders were quick to act when former State Representative David Stringer made headlines in June 2018 for saying there "aren't enough white kids to go around" in Arizona public schools.

Within a day of Phoenix New Times' report on Stringer's comments, Governor Doug Ducey called on the Prescott Republican to resign. So did former Arizona Republican Party chairman Jonathan Lines and Arizona Chamber of Commerce CEO Glenn Hamer. When Stringer was caught


on tape making more racist comments in November, Arizona House Speaker Rusty Bowers removed most of his committee assignments.

As of publication of this story, neither Ducey nor Hamer have commented on the audio of Allen's remarks, which were first published on Friday by New Times. Current Arizona Republican Party chairwoman Kelli Ward — known for rubbing elbows with the far right — has also kept quiet.

Not a word either from State Representative Walt Blackman, who represents the same district as Allen, and who co-headlined the July 15 "Mormon Political Pioneers" event in which his colleague made her comments on immigration. Nothing from Republican Senate President Karen Fann, despite calls by ProgressNow Arizona for her to remove Allen as chair of the Senate Education Committee.

The only Republican to issuereporters. "My intent was not to offend the residents of Arizona, but I see the effect was different and I am recognizing that."

Allen noted that she once sponsored a "Hmong family from Laos and helped them to assimilate into our country."

She claimed that her comments on the United States soon looking like "South American countries" had nothing to do with race, but rather a concern with some of the political systems on the continent.

"My reference to South America was the concern that some of these countries are socialist and that we must preserve our Constitutional Republic form of government and that we have no taught the next generation the difference," Allen said.

She did not address her comments on white birthrates, in which she said: "The median age of

Quezada has a personal stake in Allen's comments. He was personally named by Allen in her July 15 speech.

"When Senator Quezada says we don't want to assimilate, then what do you want?" Allen said. "What do you plan for America to look like in 10 years? What kind of form of government are we going to live under in 10 years?"

Quezada said Allen was probably referring to tweets he wrote this month explaining that he is a proponent of acculturation over assimilation. In the former, immigrants retain their cultural identities while adopting facets of American culture. In the latter, immigrants are expected to conform to the dominant culture.Walt Disney has released a Short Film “Paperman” using a technique that seamlessly merges computer-generated and hand-drawn animation techniques.

First-time director John Kahrs takes the art of animation in a bold new direction with the Oscar®-nominated short, “Paperman.”

Using a minimalist black-and-white style, the short follows the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute. Convinced the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he gets a second chance when he spots her in a skyscraper window across the avenue from his office. With only his heart, imagination and a stack of papers to get her attention, his efforts are no match for what the fates have in store


for him.

Created by a small, innovative team working at Walt Disney Animation Studios, “Paperman” pushes the animation medium in an exciting new direction.

Plot of Paperman

Source: Wikipidia.

A man is standing on an elevated train platform in 1940s New York City when he is hit by a flying piece of paper. The paper belongs to a beautiful woman who accidentally dropped it as a gust of wind blew it away. The same thing happens to the man when an incoming train dislodges one of his papers and blows it onto the woman’s face, leaving a red lipstick mark on the paper. The man is entranced by the lipstick mark and the woman’s beauty, and therefore misses her departing on the train. The man arrives at work, despondent over the factthat he will never see the woman again. That is, until, he looks out his window and sees the woman at the building across the street. After failing to get her attention by waving his arms, the man uses a stack of contracts to get her attention by turning them into paper airplanes and throwing them into her open window despite repeated warnings from his boss. Unfortunately, his efforts are met with only varying levels of failure. As he uses his last contract, he still hasn’t gotten her attention, and in desperation, he uses the bright red lipstick-marked paper, although this fails as well when he drops it. The woman then leaves her office, and the man follows. Unfortunately, he fails to see which way she went, and


heads home in disappointment. It turns out many of the planes landed in a nearby alley, and when the lipstick paper lands amongst them, they rise from the ground and set off in pursuit of the man and woman. The man is covered in airplanes, and is blown towards a train station by a heavily gusting wind, the airplanes seemingly stuck to him, where he boards a train. Meanwhile, the woman encounters the lipstick airplane, and recognizing it, she follows it to a different train station, boarding a different train. The two are finally brought together, with the airplanes pushing the man out onto the same platform as the woman at a third station where both their trains stop. The two finally meet and as the credits roll,Posts tagged 'Explore'
