in the hotel which had a creek named Tokohoma Creek.

To make matters worse, McGraw painted Grant with warpaint and had him wear a feathered headdress on the field. Chief Tokohama played right along with the deception, probably for the chance at making some decent money playing at the highest level of his sport. It was reported he performed well in practice and on the road for the exhibition season, where fans lined up to see the spectacle of the “Chief”.

Before the Orioles made it back to Baltimore to open the season, though, cracks developed in the Chief Tokohoma scam. Charlie Cominsky, the owner of the Chicago White Sox, was the first to speak out as he revealed Charlie Grant as the true identity of Tokohama. John McGraw andhis hometown of Cincinnati and worked as a janitor. In 1932, Charlie Grant was killed when a car lost control after blowing a tire, jumped the curb, and hit him as he sat in a chair on the sidewalk.

With all the wrongs of the Chief Tokohama ruse, one does wonder what would have happened if it would have worked long enough for Charlie Grant, not Chief Tokohama, to show he could play alongside white professional baseball players. I doubt nothing.

The institutional bigotry was too ingrained for it to succeed until Jackie Robinson received his chance from Branch Rickey to become the first black player to break the color line. Or was he? In a future post, we’ll look into the Washington Senators, who in the pre-Jackie Robinson era

Bhubaneswar: The ruling Biju Janata Dal on Thursday held demonstrations in different parts of Odisha to protest the demand made by a union minister to shift the headquarters of the East Coast Railway from here to Andhra Pradesh.

Carrying posters and banners and shouting slogans against the central government, the party activists and leaders took out rallies and held silent demonstrations near different railway stations.

In state capital Bhubaneswar, hundreds of party members marched in a procession and assembled near the city`s railway station, where they staged a sit-in demonstration for over an hour.

"The demand made by (Union Minister of Tribal Affairs) VK Chandra Deo is absurd and anti-Odisha. We will not tolerate it," BJD legislator and protest leader Mitu Badajeja said.

The BJD


will also stage similar demonstrations in front of all railway stations in the state on Friday and Saturday, he said.

Speaking to a local television channel on Wednesday, minister Deo had suggested the shifting of the headquarters of East Coast Railway from Bhubaneswar to Vishakhapatnam, as the latter was at the centre of the eastern coast.

Deo said he had also submitted a proposal to the AK Antony-headed high power committee looking into the demand for a zonal headquarters for Indian Railways.

The Odisha units of the Congress party and Bharatiya Janata party (BJP) also expressed their opposition to Deo`s proposal.is considered a State Historic Park, but definitely not a place that I would normally think of as a park. It is more of a horticultural center that happens to be on a vast tract of grassy fields, complete with a mansion to drool over. The property was founded by English tycoon William Robertson Coe, a maritime insurer whose company happened to do the insurance for the Titanic, among other ships. His wife was an heiress of the oil industry. Certainly, this kind of money allowed for a very impressive abode on the historic Gold Coast of Long Island.

The grounds are 409 acres, but much of what you want to see is a walkable distance from the estate. There are two greenhouses. The main one has various wings


by the British. Since then, it has been used by Americans through various wars for two centuries, from the War of 1812 to the Cold War. Today, the US Coast Guard occupies the grounds and the land is open to the public as a recreational area maintained by the National Park Service.

Many military batteries dot the grounds. Battery Tompkins is the first one you encounter as you enter the area. Like the other structures that you’ll see here, it has seen better days and is slowly being taken over by nature. You can go inside the battery through a guided tour.

Battery Tompkins is also interesting for its dry moat. There are niches inside the battery walls for shooting the enemy once they are trapped in the moat.

Battery WeedQueens, in the Rockaways. Somewhat less impressive than the other one in terms of creepiness factor, it is still worthy of a visit because of the beautiful beach close by. Fort Tilden is actually part of the Gateway National Recreation Area, which includes Jacob Riis Park/Beach to the east. The fort was built in 1917 and housed an impressive array of large weaponry, including cannons and air defense missiles, to defend the city from attack. Fortunately, these weapons were never used. In 1974, the fort was decommissioned and became part of the National Park Service.

Fort Tilden is open year-round and despite having a nice sandy beach and plenty of folks visiting in the summer, it has no lifeguards on duty. If you are in a mood for a

The FIFA World Cup games have brought pressures on Lanseria Airport (FALA). From a free-wheeling scene of legitimate civil aviation, gray government and military operations to outright smuggling, Lanseria has turned into a full service, first-class international field used by African heads of state, celebrities like John Travolta flying a classic Boeing 707, to American Vice President Joe Biden in Air Force 2(now a Boeing 757).

Visits by foreign dignitaries are really demanding on any nation's resources and patience. Air Force 2 could have landed at Johannesburg’s O.R Tambo International airport (FAJS)or the South African military base at Waterkloof (FAWK), near Pretoria. But the route planners, whoever they are for the American Vice president, decided Biden would fly into to Lanseria. Lanseria management, which asserts thefor the Vice presidential visit at the stadium nearby at Rustenburg. It delivered its cargo and returned to Lanseria in a few hours. Two short hops for a monster four-engine jet aircraft.

When Biden himself arrived in country, Lanseria airspace was closed to all other traffic. Normally, closed airspace is reserved for heads-of-state only. Nonetheless, as a courtesy to the American’s, ATC closed Lanseria airspace for the arrival. Any other arriving aircraft were diverted or ordered to hold well away from the area. Lanseria's perimeter road was closed and patrolled specially for the arrival. The balcony at the airport’s restaurant, which overlooks the ramp and runway, was closed to diners. Uniformed and plain-clothes South African police and American Secret Service personnel occupied the balcony. The terminal lobby was crowded


but many were wearing Lanseria ID badges and yellow reflective jackets. Others wore dark suits, dark glasses, with an earpiece snaking under their jackets – all the earmarks of Secret Service personnel. Embarking passengers were heavily outnumbered. Just as well, no other private or commercial planes were boarding or pushing back.

Looking west from the terminal to the Air traffic Control Tower, people stood on the Tower roof. This was a new twist. Tower personnel sometimes stand on the outside walkway when having a smoke break or taking a private phone call but not on the roof. Inside the tower were more of the dark-suited Secret Service personnel. That was a concession to the USA. The US insisted on snipers on top of the tower and marksmen were there.crowded because all the Kalula flights were delayed. Service was lousy with the crowd but the waitresses and the kitchen were working hard. One B-737 did a missed approach trying to get in but came back around and made it in the second time. Conditions were a constant drizzle that sometimes turned into a hard rain. As the morning progressed conditions moved between VMC and IMC but always a mist and low scud moving over the field.

The plane the HK crew will take is out on an IMC flight (!?) and returned during an improvement in weather. It was not supposed to be and the FBO screwed up by letting it go. It delayed the checkout and cost the crew a chance to get out during one of


the breaks. By the time they got the plane fueled and loaded the weather had closed in again. We got them permission to go out “special VFR” but they were last in line behind any and all IF traffic coming or going from Lanseria. The weather was good west of Jo’burg. They waited at the holding point more than a half hour and things finally went below minimums again.

They taxied over to the terminal and shut down and went back to the restaurant. We met them there and spent the next three hours waiting for a break. Wings Restaurant is a poor place to spend three hours. After one order everything else seems less appetizing.

Tower had graciously extended their flight plan for the rest of the say. Atan elephant on the airstrip – are other factors pilots must consider. But if the basics are the same, the rewards – and sometimes the frustrations—of flying in Africa are unique.

Grass plains waving in the wind, breathtaking sunsets, driving among herds of elephant and buffalo, and listening to the roar of lions calling in the night, are just the headlines of endless adventure. The harmony of bush ecosystems contrasts with the shock and awe of the never-ending life and death struggle among the animals. Nothing is wasted. The elegance of luxury a bush lodge contrasts with the simple hut of an African village. But the warm reception and unwavering welcome and hospitality at both places is endearing to the soul.

Detectives have released a surveillance camera image of a suspect wanted in connection with a stabbing at an internet café in Toronto’s Koreatown neighbourhood on Monday that seriously injured a man.

Police said that at 12:15 p.m. Monday, they were called to the café at 618 Bloor Street West for report of a stabbing.

Investigators say that two men inside the café got into a dispute, and one man drew a knife and stabbed the other.

The suspect then fled the café on foot.

He is described as five-foot-ten inches tall, between 20 and 35 years of age, with short black hair. He has a full beard and was last seen wearing a green jacket, an orange hooded sweatshirt underneath, dark pants, red shoes with white soles.

His image was releasedVictor Wanyama of Montreal Impact (Getty Images)

Former Tottenham Hotspur defensive midfielder Victor Wanyama has opened up about his departure from Tottenham and his frustrations over playing time and injuries.

Wanyama’s r evelation comes a month after he completed a surprising move to the Major League Soccer (MLS) side Montreal Impact -managed by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.

The 28 year-old is currently in isolation, along with the rest of his new MLS teammates who are working out from the confines of their homes after MSL suspended the league and ordered for the closure of all training facilities.

In an interview with the CBC, Wanyama says his playing time suffered due to forces above Jose Mourinho in the club’s hierarchy, which seemed bent on keeping him off of Spurs’ pitch while they looked


bit tough.”

”I was frustrated. I wanted to get my happiness back, my football happiness back. That’s when the manager here, Thierry [Henry] called me and asked if I wanted to play. And I said yes.”

Wanyama joined the Saints in 2013 from Celtic and spent three years at Southampton before he left for Tottenham Hotspur in a Sh1.1 billion deal in 2016.

He became the first-ever Kenyan player to score in the UEFA Champions League when he scored the first goal in Celtic's 2–1 win over Barcelona on 7 November 2012.

The Kenyan talisman has earned over 50 caps for Harambee Stars since making his international debut in May 2007 at the age of 15.Homer Simpson’s Electric Hammer Created In Real Life (video)

Simpsons fans may remember the classic episode when Homer creates an electric hammer to start his career as an inventor, in the episode entitled “The Wizard of Evergreen Terrace”, first released back in October 1998.

Now Patrick Priebe industrious maker and fan of the Simpsons cartoons has created a working replica of the original cartoon electric hammer that was created by Homer in that episode.

The electric hammer is powered by 80.5-volt, 1,000-mAh lithium-polymer battery and the design was built from scratch using aluminium.

A French woman who received the world's first partial face transplant appeared before the media for the first time on Monday, saying she expects to resume a normal life.

"I now have a face like everyone else," said Isabelle Dinoire, who had her history-making surgery in November.

Dinoire, who was slurring and appeared to have difficulty moving and closing her mouth, said she is still regaining sensation in her face.

Her skin after the surgery on her lips, nose and chin appeared to look even.

"I expect to resume a normal life ... I pay homage to the donor's family," she said. "My operation could help others to live again."

Dinoire, a divorced mother of two, talked about how she was mauled by her Labrador retriever last year.

She said she had passed outbefore the dog mauled her and she didn't know the extent of her injuries immediately.

"When I woke up, I tried to light a cigarette, and I didn't understand why I couldn't hold it between my lips."

Dinoire said she was horrified when she looked at herself in a mirror. She also spoke of her life before the surgery, saying her disfigurement attracted stares in public.

The Labor guidance document states:

Misclassification of employees as independent contractors is found in an increasing number of workplaces in the United States, in part reflecting larger restructuring of business organizations. When employers improperly classify employees as independent contractors, the employees may not receive important workplace protections such as the minimum wage, overtime compensation, unemployment insurance, and workers’ compensation. Misclassification also results in lower tax revenues for government and an uneven playing field for employers who properly classify their workers.

Instacart and Homejoy didher maternity leave learnt the SBI's rule the hard way.

The rule from SBI mentions that no one other than the account holder should use it. However, a woman from Bangalore who was on her maternity leave learnt the SBI’s rule the hard way.

It has been stressed a lot many times by the State Bank of India (SBI), that sharing your ATM Card is non-transferable. In fact, the rule from SBI mentions that no one other than the account holder should use it. However, a woman from Bangalore who was on her maternity leave learnt the SBI’s rule the hard way. As reported by The Times of India, the incident dates back to November 14, 2013, when Vandana, who was pregnant at that time gave her debit card to


Division branch at HAL and lodged a formal complaint. However, this is where the story took a mew turn as SBI allegedly shut down the case in a matter of few days. The bank stated that the transaction was correct and the customer received the sum of money.

The couple managed to get the CCTV footage of the date when Rajesh went to take out the money from the ATM. The footage allegedly shows Rajesh at the ATM and that no money was dispatched from the machine. The couple again lodged a complaint with the bank. This time, an investigation committee was formed at the bank which ruled that account and cardholder Vandana was not seen in the footage. SBI recalled their ‘non-transferable’ rule and claimed that the accountholder was not the ATM user, and thus it holds the right to turn down the money claims made by the couple.

In the meantime, Vandana got her hands on the cash verification report of that particular ATM for the date November 16, 2013, through an RTI. The cash verification report from that ATM mentions an excess cash of Rs 25,000 in the machine. Following this, the cash verification report was submitted to the court. However, SBI counsel produced another report which fails to show any excess cash. Before heading towards the consumer forum, Vandana and Rajesh made a final plea to the bank, who stated, ‘PIN shared, case closed.’

Being unsatisfied with the ruling, about a year later, on October 21, 2014, Vandana went to the Bangalore IVth Additional


District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum. Here she alleged that the State Bank had failed to make the refund of Rs 25,000 which she had lost in the ATM transaction. Vandana made claims that she had just had her baby and could not move out. Thus she gave the ATM card to her husband along with the PIN to withdraw the money on her behalf reports Times of India.

The case continued for the next three-and-a-half years. Vandana and Rajesh were still short of Rs 25,000 and stood their grounds that SBI should refund their money which could not be recovered due to an ATM flaw. However, SBI continued to maintain their stance and cited their rule that sharing ATM PIN with someone else was a violation.

Explore This Article

Between 1735 and 1750 Georgia was unique among Britain's American colonies, as it was the only one to attempt to prohibit black slavery as a matter of public policy. The decision to ban slavery was made by the founders of Georgia, the Trustees.

Slavery Banned

General James Oglethorpe, the earl of Egmont, and the other Trustees were not opposed to the

enslavement of Africans as a matter of principle. They banned slavery in Georgia because it was inconsistent with their social and economic intentions. Given the Spanish presence in Florida, slavery also seemed certain to threaten the military security of the colony. Spain offered freedom in exchange for military service, so any slaves brought to Georgia could be expected to help the Spanish in their efforts


to destroy the still-fragile English colony.

The Trustees wished to guarantee the early settlers a comfortable living rather than the prospect of the enormous personal wealth associated with the plantation economies elsewhere in British America. They would obtain this living by working for themselves rather than being dependent upon the work of others. The Trustees believed that the silk and other Mediterranean-type commodities they envisaged for Georgia did not require the employment of enslaved Africans but could be easily produced by Europeans.

Initially the Trustees believed the settlers would follow their wishes and not use enslaved workers. Oglethorpe realized, however, that many settlers were reluctant to work. Some settlers began to grumble that they would never make money unless they were allowed to employ enslaved Africans. Many South Carolinians, whowanted to expand their planting interests into Georgia, encouraged this line of thinking.

Oglethorpe soon persuaded the other Trustees that the ban on slavery had to be backed by the authority of the British government. The influential Trustees easily persuaded the House of Commons that their intentions for Georgia, and the colony's very survival in the face of the Spanish threat, depended upon the exclusion of enslaved Africans. In 1735, two years after the first settlers arrived, the House of Commons passed legislation prohibiting slavery in Georgia.

Slavery Demanded

Georgians' campaign to overturn the parliamentary ban on slavery was soon under way and grew in intensity during the late 1730s. Its two most important leaders were a Lowland Scot named Patrick Tailfer and Thomas Stephens, the son of William Stephens, the


Georgia Lowcountry.

The Trustees replied to those settlers they depicted as ungrateful "malcontents" by simply repeating the arguments that had persuaded them to ban slavery in the first place. They also pointed out that not all Georgia colonists were demanding that slavery be permitted in the colony. They received important backing for their policy from two groups of settlers. In a petition sent to the Trustees in 1738, the Highland Scots who had settled in and around Darien expressed their unequivocal support for the continuing ban on slavery. Pastor Johann Martin Boltzius expressed similar sentiments on behalf of the Salzburger community at Ebenezer.

Before the late 1730s the Trustees were not under any serious pressure to lift the ban. All this began to change when Thomas Stephens realized that financialpressure could be brought to bear on them. Because the Trustees depended upon the British House of Commons to finance the continuing settlement and defense of Georgia, Stephens tried to persuade the House to make its financial support conditional upon the introduction of slavery. He spent time in London lobbying members of Parliament and trying to secure a broad base of public support for his arguments. Thanks to the political influence of the Trustees, his efforts bore little fruit. As long as Spain remained a threat, the British Parliament was willing to invest money into the Georgia project.

The situation changed dramatically in 1742 when Oglethorpe defeated the Spanish at the Battle of Bloody Marsh and returned to England. The military arguments in favor of prohibiting slavery were no


longer tenable. In Oglethorpe's absence a growing number of settlers became more willing to ignore the ban on slavery.

By the mid-1740s the Trustees realized that excluding slavery was rapidly becoming a lost cause. Oglethorpe had virtually lost interest in Georgia by this time, and the health of Egmont had begun to deteriorate. In the absence of their strong leadership, there was little to prevent the Georgia settlers, with the connivance of South Carolina sympathizers, from illicitly importing slaves primarily through the Augusta area.

The Trustees, bowing to the inevitable, agreed that the ban on slavery be overturned but only after they had consulted their officials in Georgia about the conditions under which slavery would be permitted. In opposition to South Carolina's slave code, the Trustees wished to ensure athat was virtually identical to South Carolina's. This code was amended in 1765 and again in 1770.

The South Carolinian migrants enjoyed a significant wealth advantage over the original settlers of Georgia. They quickly established socioeconomic structures and relationships that were nearly identical to those they had known in their own colony. Within twenty years some sixty planters who owned roughly half the colony's rapidly increasing slave population dominated the apex of Lowcountry Georgia's rice economy.

1750 and 1775 Georgia's enslaved population grew in size from less than 500 to approximately 18,000 people. Beginning in the mid-1760s, Georgia began to import slaves directly from Africa—mainly from Angola, Sierra Leone, and the Gambia. Most were given physically demanding work in the rice fields, although some found employment in Savannah's expanding urban


economy.

Slaves had no legal right to private lives, and they struggled against daunting odds to establish some degree of autonomy for themselves. With varying degrees of success, they tried to recreate the patterns of family and religious life they had known in Africa. The circumstances of slavery in the Georgia Lowcountry precluded the possibility of organized rebellion. Yet enslaved people resisted their owners and asserted their humanity in ways that included running away as well as acts of verbal and physical violence. The American Revolution (1775-83) would offer them the best prospect of freedom.

By the mid-1750s the earlier debate on the introduction of slavery to Georgia seemed never to have taken place. Almost every white person in the Georgia Lowcountry at that time believed that the institution ofAt 61, Denise Austin still has the same effervescence that propelled her to fitness stardom in the 1980s.

LaLanne's show led to more opportunities for Austin, including a four-year stint on NBC's "Today" show, appearing once a month to offer fitness tips. Eventually, she was offered her own show, "Getting Fit With Denise Austin," on EPSN2.

Her enthusiasm for this latest venture with Echelon ties into her core belief that "anybody can find 30 minutes


the heart, toning for strength and stretching for flexibility. "Each has its own benefit," she said.

The Echelon workouts can be self-tailored to any level of fitness, giving people "hope to get out of their chair and move," she said.

"With the Echelon bikes, the leg muscles do all the work," she said. "There's no stress on your joints."

The workout is centered on the advanced technology of the stationary bikes. The 40 workout bikes can be accessed in the studio by local or visiting members of Echelon, and they're available through physical and digital retailers such as Academy Sports, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Sharper Image and TV shopping network QVC. The next-generation EXL1 was introduced on QVC in January, selling a reported 35,000 units.

An EXL3 will be available on BlackFriday with more new features.

"We're constantly trying to make it better," said inventor Lou Lentine, president of Viatek Consumer Products Group, which has been headquartered in Chattanooga since 2011. Lentine is also responsible for such products as the Hurricane Spin Mop, the Renu-it Battery Regenerator and Night Stars, the original Christmas laser lights.

Lentine, who has built his success on online and shopping network sales, said Echelon Studio is the first physical space he has had to pitch his products.

"I've been producing and developing products for over 25 years, and this is the first local business I've opened," he said.

Echelon had about a dozen instructors, as well as guests like Austin, who will lead classes at the Choo Choo studio. Like Austin's sessions this weekend, the classes are shown


network of the bone marrow. In TPS implants, a vascular network was seen between the bone-implant interface. At 30 days, the vessels were arranged in a groove corresponding to the machined fixture. With TPS implants, new bone was visible along the surface of the fixture, and the vascular network was buried in the bone. At 120 days after placement of machined implants, bone had formed a smooth surface. A few blood vessels were arranged along the bone surface. With TPS implants, a rough bone surface and flat vessels were observed on its surface. Implants become osseointegrated in different ways, depending on their structures and the characteristics of their surfaces. From the microcirculation point of view, the vessels are an important factor for the remodeling of bone.UK manufacturers have recorded the sharpest drop in factory output for more than six years amid mounting concerns over Brexit, as growth in consumer borrowing eased to the lowest level in more than five years.

The monthly snapshot from IHS Markit and the Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply showed that activity levels in the UK manufacturing sector dropped to the lowest level since February 2013 in June, as firms scaled back their orders due to existing high stock levels.

Firms had previously rushed to stockpile goods and materials ahead of the original Brexit deadline on 29 March before Theresa May agreed to push back the date until the end of October. After providing a boost to economic growth, manufacturers are now either adequately stocked or may run down their

25,000 LOST JOBS

Figures brought out in the White Book show that a total of 15,000 Jews with 13,000 dependents were ousted from civil service and liberal professions. In addition, 10,000 Jews with about 10,000 dependents were deprived of their jobs and income in public health or social welfare work. The Jews are being forced to establish schools at their own expense in order to escape the distortion of the mentalities of their 63,000 children.

The White Book declares that “Jews have been almost totally eliminated also from commercial and trading enterprises.” This process of elimination in the large concerns came through the forces of “coordination” or Nazification. In the

between father absence and adverse outcomes for daughters. Ellis calls himself an evolutionary developmental psychologist. He wants to know whether Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection can help explain how children's environments shape their development—precisely the question that came up in Hill's study. His research on fathers began in 1991, with efforts to test an interesting theory. The idea was that early childhood experiences could change the way children later seek their mates. Early experience seems to “set” the reproductive strategy that girls use later in their lives. This is not true of boys, possibly because they have a different reproductive strategy.

In a series of studies beginning in 1999, he found that when girls had a warm relationship with their fathers and spent a lot of time withthem in the first five to seven years of their lives, they had a reduced risk of early puberty, early initiation of sex and teen pregnancy. As Ellis continued this work, however, he became increasingly frustrated. Clearly, the association between fathers and daughters was profound. Yet he could not determine whether the parental behavior caused the consequences he was seeing in the daughters. An alternative was that girls who begin puberty early and engage in risky sexual behavior do so because they inherited certain genes from their parents. Fathers might pass on genes linked to infidelity to their daughters, in whom they could be associated with risky sexual behavior and early puberty. Or something else in the family's environment could be responsible for the changes in their daughters.

“The great emphasis on mothers and mothering in America has led to an inappropriate tendency to blame mothers for children's behavior problems and maladjustment when, in fact, fathers are often more implicated than mothers in the development of problems such as these,” Rohner says.

Empathy is another characteristic that we hope teenagers will develop, and fathers seem to have a surprisingly important role here, too. Richard Koestner, a psychologist at McGill University, looked back at 75 men and women who had been part of a study at Yale University in the 1950s, when they were children. When Koestner and his colleagues examined all the factors in the children's lives that might have affected how empathetic they became as adults, one factor dwarfed all others—how much time their fathers spentincludes details of his later appointments and travels as Ambassador to South Africa, Deputy Under-Secretary for Africa and the Middle East (including a specific chapter regarding his position in Tehran, Iran as Head of Chancery), and as High Commissioner in Australia.

The Commonwealth Bank has secured a significant victory at the banking royal commission, with the commission dismissing claims it deliberately defaulted loans of Bankwest customers after it bought the smaller bank in 2008.

CBA has been dogged by claims – for years – that it was motivated to impair the loans of some Bankwest SME customers in 2009 and 2010 after it acquired the smaller bank from HBOS in late 2008.

Former Bankwest customers have claimed that CBA unnecessarily defaulted their loans for its own financial gain, and their claims eventually led to a parliamentary inquiry in 2015 (thought the inquiry failed to produce a unanimous view on the events).

Senior counsel assisting the royal commission, Michael Hodge, told the commission he had investigated the “clawback ulterior motive theory” – pertainingcategory of travelers – millennial parents.

Child psychiatry education in early child development: description of a training program.
Career training in child psychiatry, though provided from a developmental perspective, often lacks opportunity for directly observing normally developing infants. This paper describes a training program in which child psychiatry fellows, in collaboration with residents in pediatrics, follow a young couple and their first child from the third trimester of pregnancy through infancy and early childhood. Case illustrations and discussion of approximately 10 years' experience demonstrate how the program can enhance understanding of normal child development, development of the nuclear family, liaison between child psychiatrist and pediatrician and early detection of psychopathology in infants.Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser has been using a Lower Pontalba Building apartment and space in other state museum buildings in the French Quarter for his personal benefit and has engaged in a pattern of political interference with the agency's operations, the Louisiana State Museum's interim director said Monday while resigning in protest.

Nungesser’s interference includes attempting to override museum officials and board members who objected to plans to loan U.S. Sen. John Kennedy artworks for his office in Washington, D.C., and threatening to sell museum works of art on eBay to raise funds, said Tim Chester, a museum consultant who took the interim position in October.

“I have never encountered anything like this in the 40 years I’ve worked in the field, ever,” Chester said. “I’ve seen some pretty strange


as he stepped down at a meeting of the museum's board at the Old U.S. Mint.

Chester was hired last fall as an interim replacement for Mark Tullos, who headed the museum from 2013 until Nungesser dismissed him in May 2016. At the time he was hired, Tullos was the fourth person to hold the job in five years.

When he was lieutenant governor, Mitch Landrieu pushed through legislation giving him, rather than the board, the power to hire and fire the museum director. Not long afterward, he forced out David Kahn, who had been hired two years earlier.

The State Museum is a part of the state's Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism, which is overseen by the Lieutenant Governor’s Office. But the museum — which includes the historic Cabildo,Presbytere, Old Mint and Lower Pontalba Building in the French Quarter, plus other buildings in Baton Rouge and elsewhere — also has a semi-independent board.

In announcing his resignation, Chester laid out a laundry list of issues with Nungesser’s oversight of the museum, including interference in staffing and management decisions.

Nungesser also has used the museum’s property for his own personal use, Chester said. That includes a vacant apartment in the Lower Pontalba Building on Jackson Square, which had previously been used for housing guest speakers.

“Keys to the museum apartment were taken away from our staff, and staff was told scheduling and use of that apartment would happen out of Baton Rouge,” Chester told the board.

Nungesser said the request to turn over the keys stemmed from a tour he took


soon after his term began in January 2016, when he was told that nobody was staying in the apartment. But when he went inside with a maintenance person, they found someone in the apartment, he said.

“I don’t think I ever found out who that someone was staying there,” he said.

Nungesser said he had personally used the apartment two or three times and noted that Chester had stayed there for several weeks when he was first hired. It also has hosted legislators, tourism officials, musicians and the grandson of the person who donated the building to the state, he said.

The museum has never been denied use of the apartment when it has asked for it, he said.

In addition, Chester said, Nungesser has been seeking to convert another, more desirableto the public are thinking in terms of taxonomies, which, along with agenda proceedings from a September 8, 2003 conference on "Semantic Technologies for eGov" indicate that the US Government is not shying away from the promise of the Semantic Web."

and a resonant converter. These circuits perform zero voltage switching by utilizing leakage inductance of a transformer mainly used in power conversion.
The range of the zero voltage switching operation entirely depends on energy of the leakage inductance of the transformer. Therefore, typically, in a case where the leakage inductance of the transformer is small, an additional resonant inductor is connected to the power conversion circuit to assure the range of zero voltage switching. However, the additional resonant inductor connected as described above increases complexity and size of the circuit, while also suffering core and conduction losses.and politically.

Academically, there was a surge of sustained interest in Malcolm X in the late 1980s and early 90s, in the midst of which Spike Lee produced the film in 1992. This interest reflected the growing relevance of Black nationalism as a response to the conditions of most Black people in the United States — Public Enemy was on point. Academics were commenting on Malcolm X leading up to and following the film. At some point in the 90s this interest seems to have tapered off.

A federal jury has ruled in favor of Mike Adams, an associate criminology professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, Thursday. Adams filed a lawsuit 2007 against the school for denying him a promotion to full professor 2006 because of his religious views.

The university hired Adams, a former atheist, 1993 as an assistant professor, and promoted him to associate professor 1998. His application for promotion to full professor was frequently being ignored when he converted to Christianity 2000 that changed his political and social views.

Last year, Adams, a Townhall columnist, said that that despite maintaining a good record in teaching, research and service, he was not promoted because of the views he expressed in his opinion columns. He described the promotion process as being "replete with proceduralirregularities and with direct criticism of [his] columns and [his] beliefs," Townhall reports.

The American Center for Law & Justice, who represented Adams along with Alliance Defending Freedom attorney Travis Barham, said that university officials rejected his application on the basis of a fabricated promotion standard and by using fake and deceptive information about his academic record among others, Townhall reports.

"[N]o individual loses his ability to speak as a private citizen by virtue of public employment," the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit wrote in 2011. "Adams' columns addressed topics such as academic freedom, civil rights, campus culture, sex, feminism, abortion, homosexuality, religion, and morality. Such topics plainly touched on issues of public, rather than private, concern."

In a statement, Barham said that the team is thankful to


your future in your hand," she says. "People would come to my grandmother with colicky babies, sprained joints or muscles – even a cow with mastitis once – and she would massage some penetrating ointment, then make the sign of the cross over the affected area repeatedly while praying under her breath."

Her grandmother, who never asked for money but would take any gifts offered, soon earned the name "Mano Santa" (holy hands) in the neighborhood because of her healing abilities.

Cintrón, who moved to Illinois when she was 17 to attend college, is continuing the family tradition. Recently, she started a business called Intuitive Insights Tarot and gives readings (15-minute or 30-minute readings) from her Riverwest-based apartment. She also travels to clients’ homes and / or private parties.

"Tarot canalso been misunderstood, at times, particularly because there is a devil card in the tarot deck.

The tarot devil, however, is not a card celebrating Satan, but instead suggests overindulgence and the need for a person to let go of something that’s blocking or trapping them in unhealthy patterns or places.

Cintrón understands peoples’ fears, however, because when she was a little girl, before she knew anything about tarot, she, too, thought the cards were a part of "witchcraft," as she was told at her school. "I was a little afraid," she says.

Today, Cintrón reads her cards everyday – she carries a deck in her purse and also consults apps on her smart phone. Tarot cards have become an important part of living her life authentically and she wants nothing

bouncing in and landed smack in the middle of the leaves, literally
sinking down in the middle. It was the sweetest sight to look at him all
round and wiggly, too fat to roll over on his paws as he enjoyed the
feeling of the dried leaves on his back.

Then he entered into what I call his ‘wicked stage’. Growing out of his
puppy hood and into the phase of a young dog, his antics had me either
roaring with laughter, or at times, I was almost compelled to pull my hair
out. During this stage, I was quite often seen in public wearing shoes
with bite marks on the heels, socks with holes (his absolute favorite),
winter jackets with fleece hanging out and shirts without buttons.
Furniture too, did not escape his onslaught of terror asarms of chairs
were dotted with tiny teeth marks and the futon, covered in doggie hair
(he believed it was his bed) caused nervous glances from visiting guests.

On many occasions I came home and entered my bedroom, only to witness
what seemed like an avalanche, as all the fluff on the pillows would be
scattered madly across the bed. At times like these, I would look at him
in anger, only to find him watching me as if he too, was confused as to
how this happened.

Ever my shadow, he would always position himself where I was in his
line of vision, content to lie on the ground chewing a doggie bone,
frequently glancing up to ensure I was within sight. When I was busy
preparing meals in the kitchen, he was my food sampler, soon after
developing


heavy snowfall. I remember observing the expression on his
face as he stood gazing in obvious confusion at the snowy mass around him.
Then, after apparently making up his mind that he loved snow, he dived
straight into it and (I swear!) started to swim. His stout, black body
would disappear into the snow, resurfacing about five feet away, his head
and nose covered in the snow. I don’t know if this is normal, but he has
actually eaten large quantities of snow. He seems to love it. Maybe he
confuses if for ice-cream…maybe he’s just plain mad.

But these antics slowly disappeared as he entered into his second year
and, increasingly, his protective demeanor evolved as he became an adult
dog. I would categorize his personality as the strong, silent type. Now
content to stay by himself mostthere is neither evidence nor reasonable inference therefrom to sustain the verdicts.
With this in mind, we believe the jury was entitled to find the facts to be as follows:
The University bridge, one of the main conduits of vehicular traffic from the University district to the business section of Seattle, is a bascule bridge. The center portion, with which we are concerned, is 42 feet wide and is decked, for approximately 270 feet, with a steel web-shaped matting known as Irving grating. It accommodates four lanes of traffic, two north and two south. Each lane is approximately 10 1/2 feet wide.
In 1933, four street car rails were installed on the bridge. Seattle discontinued the use of street cars across the bridge in 1940. In 1946 or 1947, the two


outside rails were removed. We are concerned with only one of the remaining rails  the east rail of the former southbound track.
The slightly rounded surface of the rail, two and one half inches in width, projected one quarter of an inch above the plane of the Irving grating that forms the deck of the bridge. On the west side of the rail was a flange groove one and three quarter inches wide. It appears, from a photograph in evidence, that there was also a groove on the east side of the rail. Construction plans disclose that this groove was one and one half inches wide.
The rail was two feet six inches west of the center line of the bridge. The relation of the position of the railHe also testified that an authorized letter, written July 8, 1954, by a member of his department, stated that "these rails are a traffic hazard, as they are slippery in wet weather."
On the day of the accident, it was raining and the surface of the bridge was wet. Mrs. Robert F. Campbell, one of the respondents, approached the University bridge in her car, traveling in the southbound outside lane of traffic. She moved to the southbound inside lane, which we have heretofore described in some detail. Approximately half way across the bridge, she passed a car driven by Mrs. Alva Soeby. Mrs. Soeby was driving in the southbound outside lane at twenty to twenty-five miles an hour. Mrs. Campbell's car was in a normal position in the lane


and was traveling parallel to the car driven by Mrs. Soeby. Mrs. Soeby and a passenger in her car testified that Mrs. Campbell's car, as it came abreast, "wiggled," "wobbled," and "rocked"; it tipped from one side to the other, although it remained upright. It was out of control. The back end of Mrs. Campbell's car then veered into the outside southbound lane of traffic and would have been struck by Mrs. *15 Soeby's car had it (Mrs. Campbell's car) not careened across the bridge into the face of oncoming northbound traffic. It struck the concrete portion of the bridge fifty-eight feet south of the south edge of the Irving grating.
Mr. DeYoung, with his two minor children, was driving north, nearing the south approach of the University bridge.Mr. DeYoung testified that Mrs. Campbell's car was traveling twenty-five to thirty miles per hour as it shot in front of him. At the same time the Campbell car hit the concrete bulkhead, Mr. DeYoung's car smashed into the side of it. It was a simultaneous collision.
Absent the street car rail, there were no holes, bumps, obstructions, defects, or hazards on the bridge that would cause Mrs. Campbell's car to wobble or rock. The car was in good mechanical condition. The tires and brakes were good; the car had no tendency to skid.
Prior to the accident, Mrs. Campbell was in good health; she was energetic; she was not subject to fainting spells; she had good vision without glasses. As a result of her injuries, she had no recollection


of the events concerning the accident.
[2] The problems involved and the questions presented are brought into sharper focus if we only consider the two-and-one-half-inch ribbon of steel, projecting a quarter of an inch above the plane of the bridge deck and extending its entire length. The rail had not been used as part of a street car track for fourteen years and served no useful purpose. Although its mere existence was not made unlawful, solely by continued nonuser, it is a non sequitur to say that the city was not negligent, as a matter of law, when it permitted the rail to remain in the deck of the bridge. Under the facts as the jury was entitled to view them, whether the bridge was unsafe for ordinary travel,reports for approximately fifty-seven days between October 27, 1951, and October 29, 1954.
When the court inquired the purpose of the exhibit, counsel replied, "They are offered to prove the number of accidents on the bridge. Later in argument, counsel expanded the purpose of the offered exhibit as evidence of the location of other accidents on the bridge. He stated, "I rely solely upon the uniform business records" act to establish the admissibility of the exhibit.
Assuming, without deciding, that the operation of a bridge qualifies as a "business" under the uniform business records as evidence act (RCW 5.45), and assuming that the proffered exhibit was properly identified, we still cannot say that the court erred by excluding it.

A Valedictory from Chris Kyle

Chris Kyle, the most lethal sniper in American military history, wrote a second book apart from his memoirs, American Gun: A History of the US in Ten Firearms. Kyle was a Navy SEAL who considered himself a guardian angel for U.S. troops, protecting them in Iraq from the horrific atrocities of the Islamic extremists. He dedicated his life to helping veterans, and standing up for what he believed in, G-d, family, and country.

This Father's Day takes on a special meaning for Chris Kyle's family since this is the first year they will have to deal with his being gone forever. Taya, his wife, noted that after Chris retired the family became a strong unit. The children thought of him, as most children do, thattheir dad was the best in the world. "They loved, enjoyed, and respected him and they are much better children for having Chris as a father."

Unfortunately, he and his friend Chad Littlefield were murdered in February before Chris finished the book. American Thinker was able to interview his wife, Taya Kyle, and his co-author, William Doyle, as well as Jim DeFelice, the co-author of American Sniper and a posthumous collaborator on this book. Taya, who knew Chris better than anyone wrote a heartwarming forward and afterward and is dedicated to keeping Chris' legacy alive.

This book, according to Taya, is about American history and guns, two of Chris' major interests. "He wanted to show how everyday people used their firearms as tools to accomplish justice. This is really a


that in the wrong hands these tools become dangerous weapons. Chris was a big advocate of the Second Amendment and this comes out in American Gun."

Each chapter of the book offers engaging stories that are associated with a particular gun, and how it helped to shape American history. There are narratives of how certain firearms helped to win wars and battles from revolutionary times to the present day. In addition there are accounts of how guns were used by criminals and law enforcement. Everyone who reads this book will probably have their own favorites but below are just a few examples.

Doyle liked the chapter about the Spencer rifle, which included a fascinating account of Abraham Lincoln. He and Chris wanted to show how Presidents from George Washington toThomas Jefferson to Andrew Jackson were "gun-savvy, but Lincoln took presidential involvement with gun technology to a new level. He was not just a novice but actually tested guns and made suggestions. Chris tells in the book how Lincoln became involved in selecting various guns used in the Civil War by firing them on a gun range that was in the back of the White House."

One of Taya's favorite chapters was about the American Long Rifle, because it included segments about the courageous actions during the Alamo and the battle for Texas. She loved how Chris told the story of Davy Crockett firing at the enemy, rarely missing his mark, and reloading, "seemingly indifferent to the shots fired at him." After the Alamo massacre, Sam Houston and eight


hundred Texans waited for a time to strike Santa Anna's forces. Chris states, "On April 21st, 1836 at San Jacinto, Houston decided, it was time for payback, Texas-style... The Texans overwhelmed the Mexicans in a mere eighteen minutes... Not a bad day's work for Sam Houston and his riflemen. The battles of the Alamo and San Jacinto were crossroads battles, fought on the edges of several great eras of gun technology."

Jim DeFelice told American Thinker that he and Chris, while writing American Sniper, would go off topic to discuss Chris' fascination with the Old West, and how he referred to John Browning as the Leonardo de Vinci of firearms design, a mechanical genius. This included the Browning Rifle that was patented by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. "Chriswrites for American Thinker. She has done book reviews, author interviews, and has written a number of national security, political, and foreign policy articles.

But the tools that men and women made, that they carried in their arms and slung on their backs, were a necessary and important part of the struggle."

Is it ironic that Chris was killed with a gun? Taya says no. "People will use a variety of tools to kill. The tool is not the issue. It's the morality of people who choose to commit murder that is the real issue. I hope people understand that the book was not intended to be, nor is it, a political statement in any way."

American Gun by Chris Kyle is a reflection of Chris' passion for American history and guns. He wrote mainly about the stories of the American heroes behind the firearms, those individuals that were

As human trafficking is a cross-border crime, the varied situation within the Nordic countries could be considered to make cooperation across borders more complex, emphasised Sonja Mandt.

The knowledge forum that was held in Rīga on 27 & 28 November was part of the anti-human trafficking project of the Nordic Council of Ministers that was launched at the end of 2013. The Nordic Council of Ministers’ Office in Estonia is responsible for the project.

The objective of the project is to bring together experts from the Nordic countries, the Baltic States and north-west Russia so they can exchange experience and establish the contacts they need in their daily work.

contacts obtained with the support of the mobility programmes of the Nordic Council of Ministers and exchange of experience with colleagues in Vilnius helped the investigation greatly. The investigators knew how things were done in Lithuania and who to contact in Vilnius.

Director of the Nordic Council of Ministers’ Office in Latvia Jan Widberg confirmed that the Nordic Council of Ministers would continue fighting against human trafficking both politically and with substantial resources

The Nordic Council of Ministers anti- human trafficking project

The Nordic Council of Ministers anti- human trafficking project covers four events. The first knowledge forum focussed on the recruitment and identification of victims, the second on legal proceedings and the third on the social consequences of human trafficking. The project will end with a peer review conference inmove with her. No walking standups, no pans, no tilts, no zooms, nada, bupkes, zilch. Nothing but static shots. She's probably gotten ticked off putting her resume tape together because some of the standups she wanted to use weren't entirely in focus. Her face was never lit properly, and half the time she looks like she's auditioning for the road company of Phantom of the Opera. Sarah is really attractive but her tape makes her look like the bad lighting girl from Seinfeld. The result? Sarah may get a decent job, but her chances at making a great first impression were hurt because her video didn't put her work in the best light.

Now let's move on to our second scenario. Sarah spent two years working in a smaller


market and never shot a single frame of video. She got the benefit of working with creative photographers who presented her in the best light. She has a resume tape filled with creative standups, and her packages feature great video and editing. Many of her stories have incorporated ideas provided by photogs while she was doing her story. She's reaped the benefits of working with a better staff, because, let's be honest, News Directors who don't employ a one man band system attract the best people. Sarah is now ready to make the jump to a very good market, and when she gets there she'll be a well-seasoned reporter. She understands the value of teamwork in the field.

There are other intangibles at work. As a one man bandsome time, Cohen has felt big money in politics is eroding American democracy. He argues the Supreme Court's 2010 decision in Citizens United vs. FEC, among other rulings, promotes corruption by characterizing money as free speech and corporations as people.

Cohen isn't wrong.

The controversial Citizens United ruling paved the way for Super PACs and dark money, as Vox notes, and outside spending on federal elections increased exponentially following it.

As a consequence of Citizens United, Super PACs can procure and spend unlimited amounts of money on candidates they wish to endorse. None of this money may be given directly to candidates or political parties, but this tenuous limitation does nothing to inhibit corruption.

Money is the name of the American political game, and it dictates the direction of this country. The

Researchers from The University of Manchester are developing chemical sensors that can be mounted on to ‘worm robots’, as part of a project involving partners in four European countries to improve detection of people trapped under debris after a disaster.

In the face of natural or man-made disaster, urban search and rescue teams and other first responders like police, medical units or civil protection race against the clock to locate survivors within a critical 72-hour timeframe, often at their own peril due to the presence of unstable structures or hazardous environments.

In order to speed up the detection of survivors trapped in collapsed buildings and to improve working conditions for the first responders, a new Europe-wide project is devising novel technologies using drones, miniaturised robotic equipment and advanced sensors.

The innovativeDiabetes caused by insulin gene (INS) deletion: clinical characteristics of homozygous and heterozygous individuals.
Mutations of the preproinsulin gene (INS) account for both permanent neonatal diabetes (PND) and adult-onset diabetes. The molecular mechanism of complete INS deletion has recently been published and we now add clinical data of homozygous and heterozygous subjects as well as the detailed mapping of the 646 bp deletion of the INS gene. Location and size of the INS deletion was mapped in one case with PND and INS genotype of the whole family was further characterized by breakpoint-spanning PCR. The phenotype of monoallelic loss of INS was studied in 33 adult family members of a large consanguineous kindred with INS deletion. The 646 bp deletion was found in two individuals with PND that included


Leslie Van Houten - Murderer - In prison

She met Charles Manson and the Family in 1968 as a 19-year-old and moved onto his ranch.

Van Houten quickly became infatuated with the monster, and she committed murder less than a year later.

She walked into the home of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca and stabbed the latter 16 times.

Shortly after she was found guilty and sentenced to death in 1971, California banned executions, so her tariff was changed to life.

In April last year, having had 19 of her previous parole hearings thrown out, a panel recommended her for release.

But Governor Jerry Brown overturned the decision and the 67-year-old remains in prison.

Bobby Beausoleil - Murderer - In prison

Beausoleil was an aspiring musician and actor before he joined the Manson family.

He was originally wassentenced to death for the 1969 slaying of musician Gary Hinman, but it was commuted to life in prison when the California Supreme Court ruled the death penalty unconstitutional in 1972.

He was transferred in 1994 to the Oregon State Penitentiary in Salem at his request, after he married a woman from Oregon while in prison and fathered four children.

If parole officials recommend his release, the decision will be reviewed by the entire parole board and California Governor Jerry Brown could also block his parole.

He has spent 45 years in prison and has been denied supervised release 18 times.

Paul Watkins - Family member - Dead

Watkins became entranced by Charles Manson and became close to him during his time sporadically living at the ranch.

Patricia Krenwinkel - Murderer - Awaiting parole

Krenwinkel helped kill pregnant actress


Sharon Tate and six other people at the urging of Manson 47 years ago.

Shortly after she was found guilty and sentenced to death in 1971, California banned executions, so her tariff was changed to life.

She was sentenced to 20 years to life but was paroled in 1977 and has managed to keep a low profile.

Valentine Michael Manson - Son -any single subject for any length of time.

Anaxares was of the opinion that this was even more unlikely than usual, these days. Stygia was on the wane, as they’d hit that part of the twenty-year cycle where their old slave soldiers were being discreetly butchered and the fresh ones finished their training, but their northern neighbours were in no shape to take advantage of it. Atalante and Delos were too busy fighting over control of trade routes to Mercantis to turn their attention elsewhere, a situation further inflamed by the murder of an Atalantian logothete at the hands of a frothing Delosi preacher. In Delos, the will of the Heavens and the will of the asekretis of the Secretariat were considered to be the same thing. Woe to
