– are making the most of beginners luck as are Southampton, and they head the league and if things carry on this way our meeting with them at Easter will be very exciting. Crystal Palace, are also going very well, maybe spurred on by their local rivals (Brighton) and needing to have a good season, after several poor ones.

The Royals have signed two players, and hopefully things will kick on from here, well when I say from here…there is a break now until 10th September. It would have been nice to go into the break on a high, but at least Brian can regroup and make a fresh start at home to Watford on the 10th.

I was looking forward to the fun of following the team on-line, hopefullyits funny how the commentators are bigging up the team (Reading) when they have not conceded, and then put the knives in when they start to lose. They then reflect on the missed opportunities which earlier they described as the Royals being on top.

Anyway don’t want to appear churlish – look at this photo!

Well done Manset and the team. But very frustrated at the poor level of on-line coverage. Though now managed to listen on-line to BBC Berkshire – missed Brian’s interview though. First day teething problems.

Looking at my “other” teams. Brighton turned their day around by putting in a late couple of goals to win their first home game in their new stadium. Crystal Palace took the lead but went on to lose. Cardiff play tomorrow on


defender clattered into the Swansea player – its easy for me to see it that way, but in the heat of the match for the player, its much harder.

Wembley was fantastic. I’ve been there before to watch American Football – but I did not care who won that. Today being there to support you team, and watch Brian lead the team out was absolutely fantastic. 86000 attendance – 40k from each side. Thats more than could fit into the whole of the Mad Stad.

The atmosphere was difficult to get going though. The stadium is in tiers and it was difficult to get an atmosphere going with pockets of chanting fans dispursed around the ground, although for alot of the time except for the beginning of the second half             ep.ADDRESS2 AS ADDRESS2, ep.ZIP AS ZIP, ep.CITY AS CITY, ep.STATE

President Trump criticized Jewish Americans who support Democrats, saying Tuesday that it "shows either a total lack of knowledge or great disloyalty." Leaders in the Jewish community were outraged and said the president was promoting anti-Semitic stereotypes.

Speaking to the press in the Oval Office, Mr. Trump fueled his ongoing feud with Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar. The Democratic congresswomen were recently barred from entering Israel after calling for an end to the international support of the country and voicing support for Palestinians.

Tlaib and Omar, the first Muslim women to serve in Congress, planned to travel to Israel to visit the occupied Palestinian territories and meet with activists there. But under public pressure by President Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government said it would not allow theis about Israel, then Trump is repeating a dual loyalty claim, which is a form of anti-Semitism," Halie Soifer, executive director of the Jewish Democratic Council of America, tweeted. "If this is about Jews being 'loyal' to him, then Trump needs a reality check — we live in a democracy and Jewish support for the @GOP has been halved in the past four years."

Democratic American Jews have long stated they don't necessarily support the treatment of Palestinians in Israel. Recent polling shows that a majority of Jews identify as Democrats and did not vote for Mr. Trump in 2016.

"American Jews — like all Americans — have a range of political views and policy priorities," David Harris, CEO of the nonpartisan American Jewish Committee, said in a statement. "His assessment of their knowledge or 'loyalty,' based on their party preference, is inappropriate, unwelcome, and downright dangerous."

Ann Lewis and Mark Mellman of Democratic Majority for Israel called Mr. Trump's statement "one of the most dangerous, deadly accusations Jews have faced over the years."

Logan Bayroff of the liberal J Street pro-Israel group said it was "no surprise that the president's racist, disingenuous attacks on progressive women of color in Congress have now transitioned into smears against Jews."

The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) defended Mr. Trump, arguing that the president was speaking about people being disloyal to themselves rather than toUnited Nations Climate…

Bullfighting: Should I Be Watching This?

September 28, 2017

On a hot night in early June, the heart of bullfighting season, I went to a Novillada con Picadores at La Maestranza with a friend. The show featured three young, unpolished bullfighters looking to make a name for themselves. The oldest was 24, the youngest 19.

The venue, La Maestranza, in Sevilla is one of the oldest and most revered bullrings in the world. An impressive win here can boost a bullfighter’s standings for years. Perform poorly, and the fighter will receive the famous “Silence of the Maestranza,” a show of ruthless indifference to the fate of the matador, administered by the most knowledgeable and unforgiving audience in all of bullfighting.

The event began at 9:30. The last bit of natural light wasblown away by a halo of floodlights, and three toreros, complete bullfighting teams, filed into the arena through an opening on the far side. In silence, they saluted the president’s box, the seat of the event organizer, before returning to the ring’s hidden interior. Almost every seat was taken, which surprised me a little. Attendance rates have been plummeting since the 70s. When the modern form was invented in the 18th century, it spread like wildfire from the Andalusia region in the south through the newly unified country. Noting the public craze, political and intellectual leaders quickly seized it as a rallying point for establishing a much needed national identity. In modern times, animal rights groups and the political left have dismissed it as barbaric and anachronistic. Still,


the “Third of Death,” the matador engages the bull alone, performing a series of ritualized passes with a red cape, called a muelta, before attempting an estocada, a precise sword attack meant to pass through the shoulders and strike the bull’s heart. In six fights, we only saw two successful estocadas. The attack would miss the mark and the sword would be sent flying. In one fight, the bull took advantage of this error and swept the feet of the bullfighter, sending the crowd into a frenzy, while the matador dodged the furious searching of horns from his back. Toreros distracted the bull with capes enabling the matador to find his sword and continue the fight.

Two hours later, six defeated bulls had been dragged from the ring byhorses, which is a striking sight to say the least. Public sentiment surrounding this aspect of bullfighting has been shifting more with every passing year. Protests around the sport are increasingly common, especially around major festivals like the Festival San Fermin in Pamplona, which hosts the world’s most famous encierro, or running of the bulls event. In 2010, the Catalonia region in northeastern Spain imposed a ban on bullfighting, but the Constitutional Court in Madrid repealed the ruling in 2016, stating that bullfighting is a “common cultural heritage” of Spain. In the Canary Islands, a ban on bullfighting has held since 1991.

Still, many argue in favor of the tradition, claiming that the fighting bulls were raised in vastly superior conditions to the majority of animals raised for slaughter,

After the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012, Murphy, who leads a subcommittee on government oversight and investigations, asked the Republican leadership if he could look into government programs that are supposed to address the most severe and violent kinds of mental illness. His investigation led him to write the Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act, known familiarly in the Capitol by its bill number, 2646.

Murphy’s sprawling bill would amend the existing federal privacy laws, so that in cases of serious mental illness (and only in those cases), a consulting doctor would have the ability to call the patient’s parent or caregiver andconstruction of a library. A second criminal case was registered against him on June 11 for his alleged involvement in the Maharashtra Sadan scam. In the wake of a public interest litigation filed by Aam Aadmi Party activist Anjali Damania, the Bombay high court had asked the ACB to set up a special investigation team to probe charges of corruption against Bhujbal.Along with Bhujbal, Pankaj, Sameer, former public works department secretaries D B Deshpande and Devdutt Marathe and high-ranking engineers have been named as the accused.The ACB sleuths found on Tuesday that Bhujbal has a 2,000 sq ft flat and a Toyota car at Worli, a 600 sq ft flat in Mazgaon, a 1,200 sq ft mini-theatre in wife Meena’s name at Manek Mahal in Churchgate, three floors


in the Solitaire building in Santacruz, and a six-bedroom bungalow in Lonavla worth Rs 5 crore which has imported furniture and six service quarters and is built on property spread across 2.82 acres and equipped with a helipad and a huge garden. While this bungalow is in the name of Sameer and Pankaj, the ACB found that there are other bungalows in the name of Meena (in Navi Mumbai) and Pankaj (in Nashik, worth Rs 100 crore, built on 46,500 sq ft of property, with 25 rooms, a huge swimming pool and a gym).“ACB has recovered all the documents pertaining to these properties and an assessment is in progress. The SIT had found substance in the charges of corruption against Bhujbal and his family members, therefore criminal casesbeen alleged that a prime piece of land was allotted to Indiabulls in violation of rules at a nominal price on a public-private partnership basis. During the same period, the Bhujbal Foundation received a huge donation from the firm. In the second case, Bhujbal has been accused of awarding the contract for construction of the Maharashtra Sadan in New Delhi again in violation of rules. In the deal, the government has suffered an estimated loss of Rs 786 crore, though the public accounts committee had pegged the loss at Rs 6,000 crore. In lieu of the contract, the developer, Chamankar Enterprises or its associates, transferred huge amounts to firms directly or indirectly controlled either by Bhujbal or his family members.

Due to the enzyme that disintegrates most Scrin bodies upon death, very few specimens of any Scrin units have been retrieved. However, Disintegrators are different. Rather than dissolving, their bodies are corroded by a caustic acid that is excreted when crushed by a vehicle.

Other than the obvious fact that it uses conventional locomotion, the Disintegrator's inner workings were a total mystery until the evacuation of Berne. During that battle, several Disintegrator corpses were retrieved from the battlefield and taken to the GDI Xenobiology Lab in Dublin, Ireland, where they were dissected.

A Labour MP who allegedly pestered a young female official to "come back to my hotel" after blocking her from getting into a taxi is not facing an investigation after the party said the incident was not sexual harassment.

Labour's ruling body, the National Executive Committee, failed to interview the woman after she submitted an official complaint or take evidence from another male MP who witnessed the incident.

The NEC subsequently claimed that there was "not sufficient prima facie evidence" to suggest that the event she described "was motivated by a protected characteristic."

The MP who witnessed the incident said he was "baffled" that he had not been asked to make a statement before a decision was made on whether to take the complaint forward.

The woman said that the decision notoutside of the USSR) pored over the details. John Dewey, a philosopher, educationalists and Trotskyite, formed the Commission of Inquiry into the Charges Made against Leon Trotsky in the Moscow Trials (or "The Dewey Commission"). The result of the commission was a report which included in it the claim that the verdicts in the Moscow Trials were a sham and the result of a conspiracy by senior members of the Communist Party. Stalin and his cronies countered argued that the Commission's report was a campaign of disinformation (inadvertently coining a term which would be used for all time to come when debating conspiracy theories). However, after Stalin's death Nikita Kruschev, the new leader of the USSR, admitted that the Dewey Commission was largely right: Stalin wanted the alleged


citizenry, and that the only viable explanation of that fact is a conspiracy theory. Sometimes, though, governments conspire with their unwitting citizenry. The Abstract Expressionism of the CIA When people talk about the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), we tend to think of a secretive group, mostly made up of grey-suited workers who work long hours, have no hobbies, and spy upon almost everyone. However, back in the Forties CIA agents were much more eclectic. Some of them liked to drink hard, write novels in their spare time, and collect art. This latter interest led some members of the CIA to develop the "long leash": the secretive funding of artistic endeavours for the purposes of showing that America was culturally superior to its rivals, particularly the USSR, with whomit was engaging in a Cold War. One of the art movements funded in this manner was Abstract Expressionism. The CIA set up fronts to promote the work of people like Jackson Pollock overseas, for the purposes of promoting American art and culture. It might be tempting, then, to say that Abstract Expressionism was simply part of the CIA's arsenal in the Cold War. However, it is clear that the Abstract Expressionists themselves had no idea that some of their funding – and initial success – was coming from the CIA. As far the Abstract Expressionists were concerned, their art was being appreciated on its own merits. Which it was, garnering critical acclaim from the right quarters, being bought by the right institutions, and the like. Although the

Trainer Updates Mid-July

This trainer
update compares stats from July 16, 2015 and those from the same date this
year. Due to space considerations, many are not included.

As of July
16 Ron Burke, 46, was number one on the trainer’s money list, just like he
always is. He has 16 fewer wins than he did on January, 16 2015, but his
earnings are up almost $470,000 over last year. His UTRS is roughly the same as
it was at that time. Southwind Frank and Hannelore Hanover are his premier
performers. Needless to say, Miki, Wiggle and Pete are narrowing the
opportunities for his aged pacers. Burke is the top trainer at The Meadowlands
and The Meadows; he’s second at Pocono Downs, fifth at Yonkers, and he leads
the NYSS.

Jimmy Takter,
55, is number three on the moneylist. He finished in second the last several
years and will be second again this year.

Richard
Moreau, the top trainer at Mohawk, was number five as of Sunday July 16, up
from number 8 a year ago this time. His earnings are up $252,000 over last year.
He has double the wins and money of any other trainer at Mohawk. Fifty-0ne-year-old
Moreau finished 2015 at number 13, after being 13 or 14 every year since 2012. Evenin
Of Pleasure and Collective Wisdom are a couple of his winners.

Richard
Banca, 41, who was not in the top 50 from 2012 to 2014, is at number six: he
was third in May and finished 2015 at number 20. The runner up in the standings
at Yonkers, he had made 245 more starts through July 16 than he had made


$233,000 more than one year ago. Toscano is number
two in the NYSS, her success propelled by freshmen like Robin J, Worlds Apart
and Planet Rock.

As was the
case with Toscano, Captaintreacherousgave 44-year-old Tony Alagna a big boost on the money list: he was
number 5 in 2012 and number 3 the following year. But like Toscano, Tony has
soldiered on without the cash cow. He finished 2014 at 7 and was fourth last
year. Right now he occupies the 11 spot, three better than mid-July of last
year. His bankroll is up by almost $203,000 on 93 fewer starts. Pace runner up
Racing Hill and OSS star Caprice Hill are two of his best.

Thomas
Milici, who was not on the top 50 until this year, is number 12, after being at
nine in May. The 60-year-old phenomEvery Way Out are two of his winners.

Virgil
Morgan Jr, 50, who is the leading trainer at Scioto Downs, was at number 6 last
July, but he’s at 19 this year. He has 71 fewer wins and has banked $626,000
less than he had one year ago. His UTRS has dropped from 0.362 to .322. Morgan
finished 2015 at 10, and the Scioto schedule favors a second half run. He was
tenth and ninth the previous two years. Josh Sutton drives regularly for
Morgan.

Matias Ruiz,
58, has been training for a quarter century, but he had never cracked $530,000
until this year. The California transplant went from off the top 50 list last
year to number 22 right now. Through July 16 he has 53 wins and $872,000 in
earnings. He’s sixth from the top at Pocono Downs


in a timely manner simply cannot be overstated. The rapid movement from one security to another based on the changing financial environment is critical to the overall profitability of the transactions and the ultimate success of the trader. Interruptions to the markets of interest simply cannot be tolerated for long, and therefore, must be avoided. However, the centralized level of activity by major brokerage houses to effect the trading patterns on behalf of their clients has created a separate and only recently recognized danger of interruption.

Our story takes place in Utah in mid november. Our main character is Robert a young man in high school. This is the story of the end of his life told by Robert.

Hey, you might not believe that once i wasnt like this. once i was happy and had a family and a girlfriend. once i was normal. It all started on november 17 2002. That was the first day I came home early from school because i had skipped. My mother said that she would be gone most of the day. Running errands she said. I walked into the house and as i did i heard a faint moaning noise. I picked up my baseball bat wich was next to my door and headed towards the


foot of the bed. as i did this i slowly removed the blanket from her sweaty naked body and stared down at her in a mixture of disgust and lust. I ran my fingers from the tip of her chin to the top of her pussy staring at her naked body as she got goosebumps. I was about to put the gag on her when i realized i didnt want her to be muffled i wanted to hear her scream as i punished her. i threw the gag behind me and woke her up with a shake. she woke up and looked at me as i looked down at her.

"you dirtly little whore" I said as i stared down at her blank expression "have you ever thought aboutit was time to fuck her. I wipped out my dick and shoved it in her pussy and began fucking her. wile doing this it hought to myself, "what a bitch... Im losing my virginity to the woman i hate the most." after a minute i felt her orgasm and i came deep inside her and then continued fucking her until my dick was raw and her ass hole was so stretched by her dildo that she could pass a vw buss. after i was finished and she seemed pleased i began punching her in the stomach and in the face until her whole body was bruised and beaten. as i was beating her she screamed louder than ever and my neighbor who was just returning from work


of prison correctional authorities' alleged indifference to inmate violence and that the defendants' actions constitute a violation of the Eighth Amendment's proscription against the infliction of cruel and unusual punishment. Specifically, plaintiff alleges that he had requested on numerous occasions to be transferred from the Indiana State Prison to the Pendleton Reformatory, for the reason that other inmates at the prison had threatened his life, but that his requests for transfer had gone unheeded. As a result of the prison administration's failure to act on plaintiff's requests, Mr. Burr claims that he has been attacked twice by fellow inmates and has been forced to dispense sexual favors in order to secure a measure of protection against future assaults.
At the commencement of the proceedings, plaintiff asked the Court whythree transmission paths. The despreader 22 despreads the incoming signal using the first user's spreading code at the timing in synchronism with the spreading code transmitted via the first path, and outputs the operation result.
The detector 24 is supplied with the output of the despreader 22, implementing channel estimation at the channel estimator 24a, applying the estimated channel characteristics to the multiplier 24c via the complex conjugate generator 24b, and implementing carrier phase coherent detection. The multiplier 24c implements amplitude weighting on the output of the despreader 22, using the output of the complex conjugate generator 24b, for the purpose of Rake combination at the subsequent block. The amplitude weighting is for implementing Rake combination (maximum ratio combination) on the output of the despreader 22.

in the day, there were indications that a roster move might be pending, as we were told that Reimold had not yet joined the team in Boston.

Exposito was claimed on waivers from the Red Sox, so it's interesting (in a not-really-interesting-but-everyone-will-say-it's-interesting kind of way) that he will get to potentially make his MLB debut in Boston. Since being claimed, he's played in 13 games for Norfolk and has batted .288/.339/.423.

This is a curious move to me because it leaves the Orioles without a 4th outfielder on the 25-man roster, and moreover, Endy Chavez is absolutely stinking it up at the plate, OPSing an astoundingly poor .293.

The Steve Melewskis of the world are being deployed as we speak to tell us that Wilson Betemit and Mark Reynolds "can playthe last Labour government in Britain the MCB's behaviour and beliefs were exposed by the more progressive Muslim voices who were by then coming along, and also by a wider society which had become wise to the tricks of these self-appointed "community leaders."

The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) presented themselves in the manner of debt collectors: standing beside a big bruiser stressing how sorry they were to have to demand this payment, but that they were only just holding back their big, angry friend.

When considering the roles that various people worldwide play in advancing various causes, a lot of attention is paid to the people who blow themselves up. A fair amount of time is spent on the victims of such people. But relatively little time is spent


focusing on the people whose role is clearly to tire everyone to death.

In this regard, it is worth introducing to a wider audience the existence of a man called Miqdaad Versi. This man works for the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), an organisation which enjoyed a certain amount of access to the British government after the Satanic Verses affair, 9/11, 7/7 and other atrocities. During those years, they presented themselves in the manner of debt collectors: standing beside a big bruiser stressing how sorry they were to have to demand this payment, but that they were only just holding back their big, angry friend.

Unfortunately for them, during the last Labour government in Britain, the MCB's behaviour and beliefs were exposed by the more progressive Muslim voices who wereby then coming along, and also by a wider society which had become wise to the tricks of these self-appointed "community leaders." The Labour government took a strong exception to the MCB's then-Deputy Secretary General, Daud Abdullah, signing the 'Istanbul Declaration'. As Home Office Minister Hazel Blears said at the time, it "supports violence against foreign forces -- which could include British naval personnel... and advocating attacks on Jewish communities all around the world."

In the years since then, the MCB has had a problem. Its self-appointed task is to act as an interlocutor with the government, but the government will not speak to them, a state of affairs which leaves the leadership of the MCB with a lot of time on their hands. Happily, the group's Assistant Secretary


General, Miqdaad Versi, has found a way to fill that time. Last year he hit the headlines in Britain for an especially observant piece of mid-morning television watching. While filling up his day, Mr Versi noticed that a piece of paper, on which the lead character in a children's cartoon, called "Fireman Sam," at one point slipped, appeared to resemble a page of Arabic writing.

By watching the clip over and over again, Mr Versi discovered that the page of writing resembled a passage from chapter 67 of the Quran. As a result, the makers of "Fireman Sam" were forced to issue a statement assuring the world that a full-scale investigation was underway into how this happened, and that, in addition:

"We are taking immediate action to remove this episodefrom circulation and we are reviewing our content production procedures to ensure this never happens again."

Then last month -- thanks to the BBC -- we got an update on Miqdaad Versi's activities. In January, the Victoria Derbyshire show ran a special feature on Mr Versi. The article -- "The man correcting stories about Muslims" -- portrayed Versi as an intrepid crusader for truth. In particular, it focussed on his work of systematically and continually complaining to the UK's new press regulator, Ipso, whenever he thinks that a story in the British media contains inaccurate reporting on Islam or Muslims.

The BBC report described, for instance, how Versi had managed to get a major correction from the Sunday Times. In a front-page piece on a recent report into the state


of integration in Britain by Dame Louise Casey, the Sunday Times had run the headline "Enclaves of Islam see UK as 75% Muslim." The contents of the report were wholly accurate -- the headline writer at the Sunday Times had merely wrongly extrapolated one point in the story and wrongly recounted the fact that pupils at one school featured in Casey's report had said they thought the UK was between 50 and 90 percent "Asian." The Sunday Times subsequently ran a correction. On another occasion, Versi had managed to get a correction from the Daily Mail which he presented as "huge." The correction was that in a story about the President of the National Union of Students, Malia Bouattia, the paper had reported that Bouattia had said thatyoung Muslims were going to join ISIS "because of government cuts to education" and had referred to a Birmingham university as a "Zionist outpost" because "it had a large Jewish society."

Versi's complaint about this piece centred on claiming that Bouattia had not said that cuts were the "only" reason people were joining ISIS, and that her suggestion that a British university was a "Zionist outpost" was not "because" of its large Jewish society. Both claims were highly disputable. Versi also complained that a use of the word "groups" should have been the singular, "group." On the basis of this, the Daily Mail issued an apology, allowing supporters of the radical National Union of Students' (NUS) President to pretend that she was the victim of a smear campaign by


self-confessedly inaccurate media reports rather than a nasty anti-Semite whose back was being covered by a full-time pedant with dodgy facts.

One interesting aspect of Mr Versi's work, and the hagiographic write-up he received from the BBC, is that Versi is not immune from a bit of inaccuracy himself. He often seems, in fact, given to a considerable level of inaccuracy himself.

On the day that the BBC were giving Versi his rave review, he was on social media sharing an untrue story claiming that the government's Prevent counter-radicalisation strategy was forcing King's College London to monitor all student emails. The story was wholly bogus (KCL's policy of reserving the right to monitor all emails on their system came a year before such a policy became a legal duty). Butthe fact that Versi was sharing this story was typical of the double-ledger he runs when it comes to facts. He is happy to apply rigorous standards to others, but holds exceedingly lax standards himself, so long as he can carry on his own campaigning work against the UK government's counter-terrorism and counter-extremism programmes -- or continue to exercise his own low standards in trying to cover for people who are designated as "extremists" by the UK government . Or indeed, in belonging to an organisation correctly identified as an "enabler" of prejudice against the minority Ahmadiyya community.

None of this came up in the BBC's report, nor would any observer have particularly expected it to. The story of this double book-keeper would certainly make a more interesting story.


Alexander's Star

Alexander's Star is a puzzle similar to the Rubik's Cube, in the shape of a great dodecahedron.

History

Alexander's Star was invented by Adam Alexander, an American mathematician, in 1982. It was patented on 26 March 1985, with US patent number 4,506,891, and sold by the Ideal Toy Company.
It came in two varieties: painted surfaces or stickers. Since the design of the puzzle practically forces the stickers to peel with continual use, the painted variety is likely a later edition.

Description

The puzzle has 30 moving pieces, which rotate in star-shaped groups of five around its outermost vertices. The purpose of the puzzle is to rearrange the moving pieces so that each star is surrounded by five faces of the same color, and opposite stars are surrounded by the same color.Living the French dream was all what Claire Demarthon, an American, ever wanted for most of her childhood and teenage years. She learned the language at 12 and studied at a French university for a year at 19. To secure her stay in the country, she worked all sorts of jobs, from being an assistant teacher, to a nanny, and goat herder in Lyon, France.

"I never looked back since moving. In 2012, I married this amazing French guy. We have developed a thriving online business together that allows us to live seven blocks away from the beach. I'm living the dream," Claire said.

The business allowed Claire to keep in touch with her American roots while learning more about the French people and culture. "My husband and I set


professors but whose rates were too high for her budget.

Freelancer.com was recommended by one of her students who uses it to create websites. "I needed a British male voice and thought that because Freelancer was an international platform, I would be able to reach out to people from all around the world."

Claire posted her project in the €6 to €12 per hour range. The first and the lowest to bid was AndrewG81, a British man living in the Philippines. "Andy proved to be a vital asset in my first Freelancer project. He had been the perfect freelancer from the very beginning. He started working immediately and as we talked, he let me know about his fiancée, Nadine, who happens to have a killer American accent. She signed onfor the project as well, which immediately alleviated the stress of having to find another freelancer to read the female lines."

Another surprise for Claire was that Andy, in addition to having a nice British voice, also doubled as Sound Engineer. "He let me know he would be able to help me not only record, but edit, piece together over 20 hours of audio, and separate it into over 500 tracks."

Andy recorded more than 30 hours of audio. When Claire informed him that there would be more work involved, he was eager to continue. "I have never met someone quite as hardworking as Andy before. He is one of those guys who make you wonder if he sleeps! I know he was working on other projects at the same


Admiral's admiral.
FOR CHIEF Admiral nurse Hilda Hayo, an abiding memory of her nurse training in the early 1980s was being asked to prepare the consultant's tea tray. She laughs at the memory. But at the time, as a mental health nursing student slightly older than her peers, she found the ritual archaic. In some ways, however, the rigid hierarchy that it embodied has now been inverted. Admiral nurses, experts in dementia care, are often consulted by consultants, she says. It is the nurses who are in charge now."Evolutionist and Missionary," the Reverend John Thomas Gulick (1832-1923). Part II: coincident or ontogenetic selection--the Baldwin effect.
During the last third of the 19th and first third of the 20th centuries, John Thomas Gulick (1832-1923) was one of the most well-known and influential evolutionists. His research on the nonadaptive geographical variation in snails of the genus Achatinella in the valleys of Oahu in the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) demonstrated the importance of geographical isolation in speciation, anticipating Ernst Mayr's proposal of the founder principle and Sewell Wright's mechanisms of genetic drift and genetic isolation. Gulick mechanisms for species transformation were twofold. Both are known today under different names: geographical isolation--which Gulick called cumulative segregation--and organic selection (the Baldwin effect), which Gulick called coincident or ontogenetic selection, the topic of this


With Sam Darnold and Josh Rosen declaring for the NFL draft on the same day, we take a look at each quarterback's strongest college performance. (1:30)

Josh Rosen and Sam Darnold were often compared to each other as the starting quarterbacks of Los Angeles' top two college programs; now they'll be in the same draft class as each has declared for the NFL draft.

Rosen, UCLA's signal-caller, made his announcement on Twitter, while USC's Darnold took to Instagram to inform the world of his decision.

In his Instagram video, Darnold thanked his family, friends and the USC coaching staff, especially head coach Clay Helton, for "trusting in a kid from San Clemente High School with such little game tape and for giving me the opportunity and chance to start at suchan incredible university."

Finding game tape now on Darnold and Rosen won't be a problem for NFL evaluators.

Rosen threw for 3,754 yards, 26 touchdowns and 10 interceptions this season for a Bruins squad that finished a disappointing 6-7.

Darnold bested Rosen with 4,143 yards but threw just as many touchdown passes and three more interceptions for an 11-3 Trojans team that lost to Ohio State in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.

Rosen wasn't available for his team's Cactus Bowl loss to Kansas State, as he was recovering from a concussion sustained in the team's final regular-season game. It was the second concussion Rosen sustained during the season; he also missed the team's Nov. 3 loss to Utah.

"I wish we had won more games, but friendships were forged and memories were made


(MENAFN - Investors Ideas)

VANCOUVER - April 4, 2017 (Investorideas.com Newswire) The David Suzuki Foundation is encouraged by the release of the BC Green Party's climate change platform, which includes numerous proposals to help B.C. regain its status as a climate leader. The platform includes ideas that the David Suzuki Foundation has long advocated for, such as:

Reinstating annual increases to the provincial carbon tax incentive Applying the provincial carbon tax to include fugitive emissions from oil and gas companies Increasing provincial government investment in public transit and cycling infrastructure Legislating a zero-emission vehicle standard to increase the availability of non-emitting vehicles Supporting energy efficiency improvements to buildings across the province

Alex Bridges Deaton, of Philadelphia, Mississippi, pleaded guilty Friday to attempted first-degree murder and aggravated robbery stemming from the shooting of a convenience store clerk in Pratt in March. Two other charges were dropped. Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 16.

Deaton is charged in Rankin County, Mississippi, with first-degree murder, auto theft, and drive-by shooting. He’s accused of strangling his girlfriend, stealing her car, and shooting a jogger in February.

He’s also suspected in the killing of a woman cleaning a church in Neshoba County, Mississippi.

He also allegedly carjacked a couple in New Mexico before fleeing to Kansas and shooting the clerk.

UNODA in Geneva promotes disarmament education

At any of the locations where the United Nations Office for Disarmament Affairs (UNODA) has offices, New York, Geneva, Vienna, Lomé. Lima or Kathmandu, UNODA staff regularly brief groups of students on disarmament matters. Briefings are usually to college or graduate school students, but also include presentations to younger grades.

On 11 June 2013, UNODA staff in Geneva met with a delegation of students from the Anglo European School in Essex, UK. The students were visiting the United Nations Office in Geneva and had expressed a particular interest in learning about disarmament and the work of UNODA. Accompanied by their Headmaster Mr. David Barrs and his colleague, Ms. Jo Follet, they were briefed by

Mr. Richard Lennane, Head of the Implementation Support Unit of theBiological Weapons Convention on the Biological Weapons Conventio]]n itself and by Ms. Silvia Mercogliano, Political Affairs Officer, on the Conference on Disarmament.

The students then attended the plenary meeting of the Conference on Disarmament (CD), which on that day was particularly interesting as it was devoted to a discussion among States on how to revitalize the Conference. The CD was established by the General Assembly as the single multilateral disarmament negotiating forum of the international community.

After attending the plenary, one of the students said, “It was amazing to see the people behind the scenes and actually see work put in action as well. ” While a member of the faculty commented, “Visiting the UN was an opportunity for our young people to see how the world works, observing the


CD helped them understand the challenges involved in making the world a better place.”

The Anglo European School has a strong international focus. It was the first Stateschool in Britain to offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, in 1977. All students in the school study at least two languages to age 16. Also, with partner schools in China, India, Germany, Spain, Italy and France, each year 600 -700 of the Anglo European School’s 1400 students take part in family exchanges, some for up to 2 months.

In addition to providing briefings to students, UNODA promotes disarmament and non-proliferation education though its website “Disarmament education: resources for learning.” There, students can access publications, films and recorded podcast interviews in which experts talk about present-day disarmament issues.

What are the books that helped shape and define the last hundred years? This was the question put to the librarians of The New York Public Library as part of the Library's 100th anniversary celebration. Which books had influenced the course of events for good or ill? Which interpreted newworlds? Or delighted millions of readers? Their answers to these questions formed "Books of the Century," a highly popular exhibit during the Library's centennial celebration (1895 to 1995), highlighting an exhilarating collection of important works by some of the greatest writers of our times. Now, the companion volume, The New York Public Library's Books of the Century takes readers on a thought-provoking tour of the last hundred years, through the medium

The federal government will not legalize euthanasia, leaving the matter to the provinces – and possibly the courts – to sort out.

Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose discussed assisted suicide with her provincial counterparts on Friday, including a proposal by Quebec's Réjean Hébert that would allow physicians to help terminally ill patients die in certain circumstances. Ms. Ambrose reiterated that her government does not plan to change the Criminal Code to make the practice national, but said the provinces are free to debate the issue.

"Provincial health ministers have every right to discuss this – whether they do that in their legislature through legislation, like Minister Hébert is doing in Quebec, or with their populations," she said, adding later: "Quebec is going through the motions of a debate in theirFriday, 30 January 2015

The thorn that inflicts pain in the PAP in the coming general election, and for that matter any general election is not the CPF issue that landed blogger Roy Ngerng in trouble, it is the issue of Minister Salary. Foreign Talents being the other.

Minister Salary & Foreign Talents touches the nerves of "Unfairness" in what deems most sensitive to most ordinary Singaporeans, their income. The Workers Party calls it "elitist" while the Singapore Democratic Party calls it "Unethical". Their supporters, "immoral", "shameful", and "robbers of people's money" etc etc.

The issue of ministerial salary was hotly debated in parliament, and the government had also taken steps to address the negative perception with a reduction in salary in the wake of public disquiet. But the oppositions still


determined on the day he dies, but Chee is still up and kicking.

So Chee mounted a hearted defense.

He denied allegations of sacrificing Singapore by writing on foreign media articles critical of Singapore's policies and politics. He put it such that PAP and Singapore are not the same, and he is criticizing PAP and not Singapore. He even revealed that the Straits Times refused to publish his writings and he has to resort to putting them on foreign media. All these helped him scored well, particularly to younger Singaporeans who find him cool. The PAP was apparently out manoeuvred and beaten..

Not yet.

While denying that he had sacrificed Singapore in his articles, but were merely critical of the PAP, he went into alleging that Lee Kuan Yew was in factthe one who sacrificed Singapore. He alluded that Lee had likened Singaporeans to "indolent animals" in the National Geographic article of which Lee did not said that at all. Here's the government's transcript of the same article, provided by The Online Citizen that helped exposed Chee's yet again deceptive means of using "decoys".

In reality he does not need to refer to the NatGeo interview and that all else had sufficiently supported his denial of any wrongdoing. But it was his hatred for Lee Kuan Yew that he found this opportunity of taking a swipe at Lee too tempting and irresistible. He fell into his own trap by making that innuendo about Lee Kuan Yew.

a burial ground. It is all about ancestral sacrifices for the betterment of the descendants, and about reverence and filial piety that anchors deep in Chinese tradition in Singapore.

Urban development has uprooted many of such historical temples and many of them too small and ill financed to continue their benevolent services had to merge or ceased to exist fostering the ashes of the deceased to bigger temples. When burial becomes impractical in land scarce Singapore, the government built and operate columbariums to house niches for descendants to pay their respect and to keep family bonds intact.

Urban development had also resulted in burial grounds being exhumed, and one prominent case in time was the acquisition of Kwong Wai Siu Pek San Teng burial grounds and this is where Bishanthe other case.

Was there a change in rules in public tender for land parcels designated for places of worship and for columbarium since 2009?

What is a Chinese Temple and who can operate a Chinese Temple? By convention, temples in Singapore are mostly run as "Societies" that come under the Societies Act. Others may do so through a "Company Limited by Guarantee". Bottom line of both sees individuals taking personal responsibilities and liabilities over the running of the organization, that typically are funded by donations from members and well wishers and as such will also render the organization coming under the scrutiny of the IRAS' Charities Act having being classified as "Charities".

By far, no information about the intended Chinese Temple had been released by Life Corp, inviting more questions.

John Martin… the first black American to fight in the Marines.

You get the picture. You’ve seen the stories. But before I go on, let’s put this into perspective…

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are approximately 318,857,056 people living in the United States as of 2014.

According to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund, there are approximately 900,000 sworn law enforcement officers now serving in the United States.

According to FBI statistics for 2013, law enforcement made an estimated 11,302,102 arrests (including 480,360 for violent crimes and 1,559,284 for property crimes). The highest number of arrests were for drug abuse violations (estimated at 1,501,043), larceny-theft (estimated at 1,231,580), and driving under the influence (estimated at 1,166,824).

I cited these statistics, in part, to call for a little perspective. With over 300 million people in our nation, andto give "importance in looking back at one’s roots and origins." The maxim also exemplifies a Filipino value known as the "utang na loob", one’s "debt of gratitude" to the persons who have contributed to an individual’s success.
Damiana L. Eugenio, a professor from the University of the Philippines, author of Philippine Proverb Lore (1975), and who is also referred to as the "Mother of Philippine Folklore" grouped Filipino proverbs into six categories based on the topic expressed, namely: ethical proverbs (those that express a general attitude towards life and the laws that govern life itself), proverbs that recommend virtues and condemn vices, proverbs that express a system of values, proverbs that express general truths and observations about life and human nature, humorous proverbs, and miscellaneous proverbs.

The owners were asked to press the button only once and to interact with the stuffed dog as if they were playing with a real dog. They were also instructed to completely ignore their dog, which was present in the room for the duration of the interaction.

Owners were not aware of the hypotheses of the experiment. A within-subjects design was employed with order counter-balanced across participants. Each experimental condition was videotaped and lasted for 1 minute, followed by a 30 sec post-condition phase in which the owner set the object down within reach of the dog. The owner completed a questionnaire after each condition and thendad, or at least the dad of a feminist – like praising a daughter's ability and intelligence instead of her looks. Sometimes it's a grand gesture – like the German father who wears a skirt in solidarity with his five-year-old son who likes to go out in dresses. Either way, it makes an impact.

For my father, it meant being involved (he was my Girl Scout leader!) and keeping an eye out for bias: when a math teacher in junior high was calling on boys who raised their hands but not girls, for example, he confronted him. The teacher took him seriously, stopped the preferential treatment and ended up becoming a mentor who made me love math and science.

Inside Trump's View of African-Americans and Inner Cities Across the country, data show that most African Americans live in suburbs.

 -- During Sunday night’s second presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, he made a promise that is familiar to those who have followed him on the campaign trail in recent months: to help African-Americans.

He invoked a familiar phrase that he frequently associates with African-Americans: “inner cities.”

“I want to do things that haven’t been done, including fixing and making our inner cities better for the African-American citizens that are so great,” the Republican nominee said early in the evening.

Later in the debate, responding to a question from James Carter, an African-American man, about whether he could “be a devoted president to all the people in the Unitedstruggles to maintain a series of increasingly strained relationships with his Kansas-born mother, his estranged Kenyan father, and his classmates."

In other words, Barry is a portrait of a young man trying to find his place in a world that may not have room for him. The film drew raves after its September premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, for the way in which it subverted traditional biopic tropes and delivered a realistic glimpse into what life was like for a black college student in 1980s New York City.

"The film is rooted in the murky, drifting, sleep-late-and-get-stoned-and-do-whatever nature of college life that the movies almost never get right," writes Variety’s Owen Glieberman. "This one does, and that’s one reason it feels bracingly authentic."

A prospective study of the psychological adjustment of parents and families of children with cancer.
This study compared the psychological adjustment of parents and families of children with cancer, with the adjustment of parents and families in the community. In the weeks after their children's diagnoses, the mothers of children with cancer reported significantly more anxiety and insomnia, somatic symptoms and social dysfunction than mothers in the community. These problems had declined by the time of a 1 year follow-up assessment. However, at the follow-up assessment the mothers of children with cancer reported significantly more symptoms of depression and somatic symptoms than mothers in the community. A similar pattern of findings was evident among the fathers although the fathers generally reported less distress than was reported by the mothers.Wednesday, February 18, 2009

One Small Step for Socialism...One Giant Leap Back for The United States

"...Long regarded in the US as a folly of Europeans, nationalisation is gaining rapid acceptance among Washington opinion-formers – and not just with Alan Greenspan, former Federal Reserve chairman. Perhaps stranger still, many of those talking about nationalising banks are Republicans.

Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator for South Carolina, says that many of his colleagues, including John McCain, the defeated presidential candidate, agree with his view that nationalisation of some banks should be “on the table”.

The bid to consolidate governmental powers under the presidency claimed a narrow and much contested win, with 51.37 percent of voters choosing "Yes,” according to the state electoral board. Yet the close vote reflects a nation divided under Erdogan, with much of the population unnerved by his increasingly authoritarian leadership and ongoing purges following the failed coup.

Mehpare, 30, an art teacher who gave only her first name, stayed in her apartment Sunday night, watching crowds of Erdogan supporters pass in the street below.

"Asjournalist, said he was pleased by the results. He didn't vote in the referendum, but supported the ‘Yes' camp because he felt Turkey's constitution, which had been installed under a 1982 dictatorship, needed to be revamped to fit modern times.

"It's time to change the system. The one we had was too old and was getting moldy,” Fidan said. "I don't know what Erdogan has in his future plans, but it will depend on the public. If they want change and economic development, then Erdogan can make it happen.”

When asked what he thought of the split vote, and how "No” voters could be represented in the new political landscape, Fidan said Erdogan would find a way.

"Erdogan is a reasonable man,” Fidan said. "He is a populist, which can sometimes


used to guard against fraud.

Representatives with the minority rights-focused Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) also made accusations of foul play during the voting period at a press conference in their Ankara headquarters.

"We have 65 pages of violations reported today,” said HDP Spokesperson Osman Baydemir. "Our observers were beaten, kicked out of voting areas.”

Early complaints on Sunday suggested a lower number of ballots were delivered to some polling areas than the number of people registered to vote at those locations. Power outages were also reported as polling stations in closed the southeastern city of Silvan, which was heavily damaged during military operations in 2015.

"We want an answer to this question,” said Baydemir at the press conference. "How many of the unstamped ballots were for ‘Yes' and how many were for‘No'?”

Ongoing state of emergency

The referendum was also held under a state of emergency that has been ongoing in Turkey since the coup attempt in July 2016. Many opposition media outlets have been shuttered, about 140 journalists are currently jailed and 120,000 people were sacked or suspended from their jobs for suspected links to terrorist organizations. The political environment in the lead up the referendum was highly restrictive, and for this reason the results are invalid, said Betul Koca, a member of the leftist Anatolian Culture and Research Association, AKA-DER.

"A ‘Yes' vote has risen from the ballot box, but the ‘No' front will not be silenced,”


It looks like Gerald Posner's "time out" from the Daily Beast is now permanent: After his editors found fresh instances of plagiarism, the lead investigative journalist offered his resignation, and it was accepted.

Posner called his plagiarism accidental when one example surfaced Friday, and his editors stood by him, but additional examples emerged this week and Posner was confronted by executive editor Edward Felsenthal. Though he's stepped aside, Posner is sticking by his story that his plagiarism from publications like the Miami Herald was inadvertent. From his resignation post:

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Washington Mutual Chief Executive Alan Fishman could walk away with more than $18 million in salary, bonuses and severance after less than three weeks on the job, according to the terms of his employment agreement.

But will Fishman follow the lead of another troubled financial firm and turn his severance package down?

JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) grabbed up the banking assets of WaMu on Thursday after federal regulators seized the company, making it the largest bank failure in history.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said in a conference call with reporters Friday that no decisions have been made about the fates of WaMu senior executives.

Still, the demise of WaMu is likely to be the end of Fishman's brief tenure at the helm.

Fishman was hired on Sept.CEO of another prominent financial firm in a similar situation recently decided to turn down his severance package after the firm essentially collapsed.

Robert Willumstad, former chief executive officer of insurance giant AIG (AIG, Fortune 500), which the government took an approximately 80% stake in after giving it an emergency $85 billion loan, was dismissed last week after only about three months on the job.

Willumstad has reportedly told his successor that he has decided not to accept his $22 million severance package since AIG shareholders and employees had lost so much money as a result of its meltdown.

Matt McCormick, portfolio manager with Bahl & Gaynor Investment Counsel, said he thinks that Fishman will not be rewarded extravagantly given that the bank failed.

Massive amounts of pig manure are produced by intensive pig farm in China, and the composition of pig manure has changed much due to the use of feed additives. However, little is known about the exact Cu (copper) feed as additives or present as contaminants in pig feed and the residues in feces. One hundred and thirty-seven feeds and one hundred and forty-two fecal samples from 48 pig farms were collected in Beijing and Fuxin cities in 1999 and 2005, respectively. The concentrations of Cu were in the range of 6.86-395.19 mg/kg in the feed samples, and the mean values were in the order of weaner > grower-finisher > sow's feeds.

If it plays out as expected, one of the most contentious moments of this football season won’t be argued in a board room by the College Football Playoff committee. The real action will come later, behind closed doors at universities where administrators with a head coaching position to fill will deliberate between the successes and sins of one potential savior.

Former Baylor coach Art Briles alluded to this inevitable drama while touring NFL training camps, where he confidently — and surprisingly brazenly — suggested in his down-home West Texas timbre that he will be hired as soon as others are fired.

In 12 seasons at Stephenville, Briles turned a mostly mediocre program the previous half-century into a state power. He won four state championships from 1993 to 1999 and had a major influence on the way football is played in Texas, moving it from simple running-based offenses to more complex, wide-open passing attacks.

Gilbert was so distraught when he heard Baylor had fired his former coach that he drove to his farm outside of town and stayed there in seclusion.

Administrators might need Briles to commit to altering his recruiting practices and move character up his list. Still, unless a potential new boss demands change and implements a process to achieve it, experts suggest Briles is unlikely to change.

As the title suggests, The Curse of La Llorona makes use of the horrifying “weeping woman” legend from Mexican folklore, which the film’s press release explains thusly:

La Llorona. The Weeping Woman. A horrifying apparition, caught between Heaven and Hell, trapped in a terrible fate sealed by her own hand. The mere mention of her name has struck terror around the world for generations. In life, she drowned her children in a jealous rage, throwing herself in the churning river after them as she wept in pain. Now her tears are eternal. They are lethal, and those who hear her death call in the night are doomed. La Llorona creeps in the shadows and preys on the children, desperate to replace her own. As the centuries have passed, herto grab him, and while no physical contact was actually made, the victim feared the clown was going to hit him. So out of self-defense, the victim said he grabbed his metal selfie stick and hit the clown several times.

The sheriff's office said the victim ran as the clown chased him a short distance. Then the clown tripped and fell, and went back into the bushes.

The victim notified a school crossing guard and some teachers about the encounter.

No deputies saw the clown in the area.

The victim said the clown was 5 feet, 9 inches tall, weighing about 230 pounds, with blue clown hair, a rainbow painted face, a red foam nose, a green long-sleeved shirt, black pants and black boots.

A 20-year-old New Jersey man has been charged on terror-related counts for allegedly trying to help organize a "small army" of ISIS fighters in New York and the Garden State and for traveling overseas with the intent to join the terror group, federal prosecutors said Monday.

Nader Saadeh, who lived in Rutherford until he left the country May 5, allegedly to join ISIS, was arrested Monday on charges of conspiring and attempting to provide material support to the terrorist organization, federal officials said. He was previously taken into custody in Jordan.

Saadeh's brother, Alaa, along with at least three others in New York and New Jersey, were arrested in recent months in connection with the alleged ISIS cell.

The FBI said Nader Saadeh posted anti-American messages online beginning in 2012 andrepeatedly viewed ISIS videos. The agency said he praised the burning alive of a captured Jordanian pilot by ISIS fighters and said that, as well as the murders of several staff members of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris earlier this year were justified.

Investigators said Saadeh began rallying friends to join the terror group in the last two years. An informant helped the FBI in the investigation.

According to the informant, Saadeh had become a radicalized ISIS supporter by April and planned to travel overseas to join them. He flew out of John F. Kennedy International Airport on May 5, allegedly for that purpose. Emails sent to him from his family members overseas, including his mother, pleaded with him not to join ISIS, according to federal officials.

Saadeh's brother, who was arrested in late June, told authorities an alleged conspirator from Queens gave Saadeh an ISIS contact near the Turkey/Syria border who could facilitate his travel once overseas, federal officials said.

Officials said there was no specific plot, although some suspects arrested earlier this year were allegedly scouting New York City landmarks as possible targets, including the George Washington Bridge.

Saadeh was ordered to be held without bail during a hearing in federal court in Newark Monday afternoon. Each of the charges carries up to 20 years in prison.

Green Street Rooming HouseLocation: 66 Green Street, Northampton, Massachusetts, USAOpened: 1975Closed: 1992From the Five College Archive & Manuscript Collections: The Green Street Rooming House was a lesbian cooperative started in the Elmhurst apartment house at 66 Green St in Northampton, Massachusetts. It operated from circa 1975 to 1992. From the 1960's on, Northampton had become a haven for lesbian and feminist activity. Some residents of the boarding house were students at the five colleges, and others were lesbians coming out of the closet seeking freedom to express their


sexuality. The rooming house was established as a lesbian-only residence with a designated live-in manager who functioned as a liaison between the residents and the landlord. The house operated in a cooperative spirit by rotating cleaning chores and sharing in the preparation of meals. A notebook was always kept in the central hallway for residents to write messages to each other. The owner and landlord, Michael Cohen and his assistant manager John Knowles, provided basic house supplies, such as toilet paper, soap, light bulbs and cleaning products and also authorized maintenance for heat, electric and plumbing. Initially, the landlord was not told that the current lesbian tenants were starting a lesbian-only household. Eventually, he found out and thought it amusing that a group of women wanted to maintaina cooperative community in a rooming house. In 1992 the building was sold to Housing and Economic Resources for Women and it eventually became a co-ed rooming house. In 2007 it was bought by Smith College and was torn down in 2013.

Isis is yet another lesbian bar that, unfortunately, is probably best remembered for a violent crime against lesbians. Back in June 1982, two lesbians were abducted at gunpoint from a nearby parking lot. One woman, Mary Ann Finegan, was shot to death. The other, who prefers to remain unnamed, was raped, shot, and left for dead after witnessing Mary Ann's murder.It would not be until 2010--28 long years later--that the killer was brought to justice. Yet another reminder as to why we should suspect


the motives of men who hang around womyn's spaces. From Gay People's Chronicle:

Isis was a popular bar at 1400 West 6th Street near the corner of Frankfort Avenue, “for the contemporary woman,” according to a July, 1982 ad in the gay monthly High Gear. It was known to women in Cleveland and Akron, where Finegan lived with her four dogs in nearby Barberton. Isis closed in 1989, and the space has since been home to a variety of businesses, though none gay or lesbian. It is now Crop Bistro and Bar.“Mary Ann and I had broken up the week before and had no plans to meet up with each other that night,” continued the survivor, now 66, who asked that her name not be printed.“We got to thein. “Mary Ann was a great listener but she had a hard time expressing herself.” That night, she seemed kind of upset, like she needed to talk. They talked for a while and Finegan started the truck to move to a parking spot closer to the bar, according to early police reports of the incident. Before she could park, a man suddenly opened the passenger door, put a gun against the survivor’s chest while climbing in and told Finegan to drive “or I’ll kill her.”

Park View GrillLocation: Carolina Beach Road, Wilmington, North Carolina, USAOpened/Closed: c. 1990The only Internet references I can find for the Park View Grill are all related to the murder of a lesbian by a man she met while playing pool there.

Various speakers from the community also related their stories and thoughts, including local lesbian author Cheryl Cushine, gay leader and activist Bo Dean, Director of the Rape Crisis Center Amy Feath and New Hanover County District Attorney Ben David.Dean expressed passionately the need for the gay community to address its internal divisions, and urged everyone to come together and unite in the fight against hatred. Laura McClain, a local lesbian singer/songwriter who is also an associate producerand music director for “Park View,” performed selected songs including “We are a Gentle Angry People” and “Left for Dead” — written in Kreeger’s memory.

Thisarticlegives a few more details, though it's pretty circumspect about the lesbian angle to this crime. Not even the owner seemed to suspect why this guy, basically a drifter, was hanging around all night:

It was about 1:30 a.m., on Thursday, Feb. 22, 1990, almost closing time at the Park View Grill, a bar on Carolina Beach Road.

bar also see this closing as a good thing?

As Shea Turner marched through the halls of the Harriet Tubman Leadership Academy for Young Women in her yellow cap and gown, the recent graduate couldn't help but smile.

Girls protesting the closing of
Harriet Tubman (April 2012)

Throngs of her classmates had lined up along the lockers on the last day of school to cheer on Turner and three other graduates, before joining the four in a parade to the auditorium.

But even with the fanfare, Turner, 17, found herself in a somber mood. The ceremony just reminded her that the 163-student building, the only all-girls public school in Oregon, is shutting down for good.

"It's a family," Turner said. "You're leaving your family behind."

The school, which served sixth through 12th grades and focusedon science, technology, engineering and mathematics classes, has long had a presence in the city's African-American community. Tubman originally began as a neighborhood middle school, and moved to the current North Flint building in 1985. After that school closed, the young women's academy got its start five years ago as a place for girls to focus on academics in a small setting without distractions like boys and cliques.

Despite community opposition, the Portland School Board confirmed in April that Tubman and Humboldt, another North Portland school, would be closed because their low enrollments would be difficult to sustain.

Those who fought to keep the school say the district will be losing an irreplaceable program. The small enrollment helped build community, students say, and single-sex education helped girls feel more comfortable


in their skin.

At Tubman, Turner said, girls grew into themselves. "Every girl I know found her voice here."

Allie Beard, 16, was just barely passing classes in middle school before she ended up in the program for ninth grade. As Beard transitioned into a foster home, Tubman became a place of family and stability: teachers went to her roller derby bouts, and she didn't worry about being judged.

"I wasn't dreading coming into school each day," she said.

On Wednesday, the girls took their seats at 10 pink lunch tables in the auditorium to celebrate the last day. They listened to speeches from Superintendent Carole Smith and former Tubman Middle School Principal Paul Coakley, and they whooped approvingly for friends as they were given awards.

By the time students settled into lunch,Medha and Shradha Pulla, both 16, had kept on their caps and gowns. The reality of the situation had not yet sunk in, said Medha.

She'll be attending Portland State University with her sister next year and credits Tubman's access to advanced classes for their early graduation. The Pullas and their mother, Jyothi Pulla, were some of the loudest voices asking the district to keep the school open.

Medha said she hoped a community could still come together and bring back the program in some way -- some parents are even considering proposing a charter or alternative school.

In the end, she said, Tubman would still be a part of her classmates even if they leave.

"They've gained something here that can't be taken away from them," Pulla said, then turned to


areas, these kinds of all-male spaces abound. And, while women may not be explicitly forbidden from being there, they often feel ill at ease if there are no other women present. For Nadia, a member of the group originally from Morocco, it is an impossibility: “For a woman of my age to have a coffee surrounded only by men would be shameful.” Going into a space with an exclusively male clientele often provokes jeering or unpleasant comments: at best, women expect silent reprobation or censorious – even aggressive – looks. Over three years later, the collective has visited more than thirty cafés in the area. Some, like the Roi du Café, now regularly receive female visitors, and display yellow stickers in their window, given to them by theknown unto you thepower and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

The Circle Maker, by Mark Batterson, pastor of National Community Church in Washington D. C. is a book based on the legend of Honi the Circle Maker. The story – or fable – comes from the Talmud. The Talmud is an extensive collection of Jewish legends, fables, and man-made laws. It is commonly referred to as the Oral Tradition and is considered by many in Judaism to be as divinely inspired as the Old Testament. A passage in Erubin 21b of the Talmud says, “My son, be more careful in the observance of the words of the Scribes than in the words of the Torah (Old Testament).” 1 In the book of Aboth 1:1 of the
