that had begun in September 1937. The president had felt forced by circumstance to accept policy to which he was otherwise opposed, direct federal employment. The improved fiscal picture provided the fiscally conservative Roosevelt with the opportunity to cut WPA jobs and other income-generating programs.

The president should invest, Keynes urged, more heavily in public works lest another disaster ensue.

Roosevelt paid no heed. New Deal spending fell and unemployment rose. The economy plunged into another, somewhat shorter and shallower, depression. The new contraction was doubly discouraging, causing public confidence in the New Deal to diminish and business to feel threatened by the radical claim that it had been shown to be unable to deliver on its promise to bring about economic renewal once government had withdrawn.

Fed chairman Marinner Ecclesurged renewed government spending and Roosevelt responded by increasing WPA and AAA spending, but not by very much. His eggs were in another basket, new military expenditures. Roosevelt’s choice was not merely cynical. He saw the growing aggression of Italy, Germany and Japan in Africa, Europe and East Asia as calling for a re-evaluation of American neutrality.

Public opinion polls in 1938 and 1939 found the public disapproving of the military spending as excessive in the light of intensified economic hardship at home. The 1937 cyclical peak did not after all end the Depression. In that year workers were still pressing for what they deserved but had not yet gained. 1937 saw a massive sit-down strike at the General Motors Flint, Michigan plant. It is a measure of the


Lyndon B. Johnson made it the centerpiece of his first State of the Union address on January 8, 1964, the War on Poverty remains one of the most embattled—and least understood—of Great Society initiatives. It’s an anniversary worth celebrating, despite historical memory distorted by decades of partisan attack, both for the commitments and priorities it reflected, and for the insights it offers into the political challenges of fighting inequality today.

The War on Poverty was still very much in the planning stages when LBJ made his historic pledge, though its broadest outlines were sketched out in the speech and in the 1964 Council of Economic Advisers Report: a fast-growing, full employment economy; an all-out “assault” on discrimination; investments in education, job training, and health care; and locally organized programscome to expect as citizens of the world’s most affluent democracy and beneficiaries of the New Deal welfare state: to decent job and educational opportunities, fair labor standards, protections against economic insecurity, legal representation, and access to political participation, starting with the right to vote. For this the.

War on Poverty earned the enmity of a wide array of politically-entrenched constituencies, from the Jim Crow South to the big-city liberal North and West. It also drew the ire of many erstwhile supporters, including LBJ himself, who put pressure on OEO administrators to keep a lid on spending and to rein community action in even as he escalated spending on fighting communism in Vietnam.

LBJ’s policies did not end poverty—a fact conservatives, having long since argued that government had no business


of poverty cannot be resolved without addressing thedeeper inequities of race, class, gender, geography, and power—a lesson overshadowed by the myth ofa “culture of poverty” that gripped policy elites in the 1960s and continues to thread through popular and academic discourse to this day.

Third is that some of the fiercest battles of the War on Poverty were fought locally, as they continue to be today. This brings us back to the militant politics of massive resistance, which—then as now—played out in struggles over who would control the implementation of anti-poverty policies and resources and, financial incentives notwithstanding, whether they would be implemented at all. But it also calls up the progressive organizing unleashed by community action, which continues to sustain the legacy of the grassroots War on Povertydielectric losses of composites were dominated by relaxation polarization loss of the medium. At high environmental temperatures, the dielectric losses of composites were dominated by conductive loss as kinetic energy, and the mobility of conducting particles in composites increased. At low environmental temperatures, the dielectric losses of composites increased slightly as the frequency increased, although the conductive loss decreased. This was attributed to the fact that the dielectric losses of composites were dominated by relaxation polarization loss. As the frequency increased, the periodic variation of the electric field was consistent with the development time of relaxation polarization. As the relaxation polarization loss increased, the dielectric losses of composites increased drastically. As the environmental temperature increased, conductive loss was inversely proportional to the frequency, and the dielectric losses of

CEO RHFCThe man suspected of killing a Muslim teenage girl as she headed to a mosque in Virginia this summer may face the death penalty.

Fairfax County Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Morrogh told News4 he will seek the death penalty against Darwin Martinez Torres.

A grand jury indicted Torres on capital murder and rape charges on Monday in the killing of Nabra Hassanen. The 17-year-old high school student's death has rattled Muslim communities in northern Virginia and across the country.

Virginia state law allows prosecutors to pursue a death penalty under certain conditions, including premeditated murder during a rape.

The indictment is the first indication that authorities believe Nabra Hassanen was raped.

Virginia law allows prosecutors to pursue a death penalty case only under certain conditions. Those include murder in the commission of a rape


Martinez-Torres admitted killing Nabra and that he led them to where he had dumped her body in a nearby pond.

On Friday, Hassanen's devastated parents interrupted court proceedings.

"You killed my daughter!" Nabra Hassanen's father shouted. He stood on a courtroom bench and lunged at the accused in a packed courtroom.

RIGA (Reuters) - Greece has had to go through tougher austerity than it would have otherwise been necessary, because of the populist stance of the left-wing government of Alexis Tsipras in 2015, European Commission Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis said on Monday.

Tsipras, who took power in January 2015, rejected belt-tightening in public finances requested by lenders in exchange for emergency loans and reversed some of the reforms introduced by the previous Greek governments.

As new loans were frozen, Greece defaulted on the International Monetary Fund in July 2015 and had to introduce capital controls to prevent its banking system from collapse.

Call for '600mph hyperloop' transport for Leeds Published duration 26 June 2018

image copyright Hyperloop One image caption The vacuum propulsion concept of Hyperloop is yet to be tested over long distances

A former council leader has called for the futuristic "hyperloop" public transport technology to come to Leeds.

Councillor Keith Wakefield, of Leeds City Council, said he hoped it could be in Leeds in the next 20 years.

Transport Secretary Chris Grayling suggested earlier this year that hyperloop could ferry people from Leeds city centre to Leeds Bradford Airport.

Hyperloop, first floated by tech billionaire Elon Musk, could see passengers travel at up to 600mph.

Cllr Keith Wakefield, who formerly chaired West Yorkshire Combined Authority transport committee, has joined growing support for the cutting-edge mode of transport.

He said Leeds must embrace new technologyRussian civil society continues to dismantle pro-Kremlin disinformation, using both laughter and journalistic investigations.

February has been a good month for those Russians who want to push back against pro-Kremlin disinformation.

Propaganda narratives have been challenged in a series of articles and videos, often coming from the hands of investigative journalists and other members of Russia’s civil society.

The preferred approaches in the response to the propaganda continue to be independent journalism and laughter.

Propagandist satire

Russian satirist Alexander Thorn, who uses YouTube and other social media platforms to reach his audience, produced a parody of Dmitry Kiselyov – one of the most notorious propagandists on Russian state TV.

Russian satirist Alexander Thorn imitates the characteristic language, mimics and gestures of the EU-sanctioned pro-Kremlin TV anchor and top media manager Dmitry Kiselyov.

“The laughter is with us”

Independent journalism plays a central role in the response of Russian civil society to the pressure coming from the dominating state-controlled media.

At the same time, satire and laughter have the ability not only to go viral, but also to expose disinformation and propaganda as vulnerable and weak.

This was confirmed by another video which went viral in February: a recording showing a news hostwith a photograph of their president in the elevator of a residential building.

As the video shows, Russians were not exactly in awe of the pompous portrait of their country’s omnipresent president. The video went viral not only in Russia, but also in numerous international media outlets.

MILWAUKEE -- The two opponents of a Wisconsin Supreme Court justice criticized her ties to prominent Republican politicians ahead of Tuesday's primary election that will narrow the race to two finalists.

Justice Rebecca Bradley and challengers Joe Donald and JoAnne Kloppenburg pledged to keep politics away from the bench. Yet the candidates were not confident that their opponents would clean up a court in the wake of politically charged decisions and alleged violence within the chambers.

Rebecca Bradley

Gov. Scott Walker appointed Bradley to the state Supreme Court in October 2015 to fill a vacancy created by Patrick Crooks' death. He had previously chosen Bradley for a Milwaukee County Circuit Court position in 2012 and a spot on the Court of Appeals in May 2015.

"I always follow the law, regardless ofhow I feel about the outcome," Bradley said in an interview. "I set aside my personal policy preferences and my political inclinations."

Bradley is part of the conservatives' 5-2 majority on the court. Donald and Kloppenburg are viewed as more liberal judges.

Kloppenburg mentioned Bradley's appointments four times in a seven-minute interview with FOX6 News.

Joe Donald

"Her partisanship is reflected in how she got to the court," said Kloppenburg, a state Appeals Court judge.

Kloppenburg also repeated a talking point about Donald, a Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge, saying that he had supported Bradley twice. The claim is also featured in a recent Kloppenburg TV advertisement.

Donald countered that he only expressly endorsed Bradley once, for the 2012 appointment as a trial court judge.

JoAnne Kloppenburg

"I don’t think Rebecca Bradley has enough experience to


be on the Supreme Court," he said. "I did support her as a trial court judge, because I really do believe that she had potential to be a good trial court judge."

Kloppenburg is viewed as a partisan by many Republicans for the closely contested race she ran against Justice David Prosser in 2011.

The campaign became a referendum on the recently passed Act 10, the law that ended most collective bargaining rights for many public workers.

"I am the only candidate that people can count on," Kloppenburg said, pledging to stay above the political fray this time.

Kloppenburg lost to Prosser after a recount. Shortly after, Justice Ann Walsh Bradley accused Prosser of putting his hands on her neck during a heated discussion in their chambers.

The lights are on at Centerfolds Cabaret, but nobody’s home at the north Phoenix strip joint. At least, not since its owners shut things down last week after the club’s liquor license was yanked due to a deadly altercation between a bouncer and a patron.

Centerfolds has been closed since January 30, the day the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control indefinitely suspended the cabaret’s license. The move was in response to the arrests of two employees connected with the recent beating death of local off-duty firefighter Luke Jones outside of the club.

And according to the Phoenix Police Department, some heinous activity was involved with the deadly incident, including one Centerfolds employee allegedly trying to cover things up.

Jones, 37, was at Centerfolds on January 21 when he wasallegedly pushed to the ground and beaten by doorman Brandon Draper in the parking lot outside the club. Police officials state that Jones, an employee of the Daisy Mountain Fire Department, had his left arm in a brace and was unable to defend himself. He was later transported to a local hospital, where he died from his injuries. Draper was arrested on second-degree murder charges and is currently awaiting trial.

No information regarding what caused the fight has been released as of this writing.

Many of the jar fragments had a thin ridge at the base of the neck, characteristic of the Early Roman period.

the Congress-led Democratic Front never enforced an alcohol ban on Eid-e-Milad in its 15-year rule. The AIMIM said the demand has been made keeping in mind the meat the Congress government had imposed during the Jain community's Paryushan Parva, which the BJP too has continued after coming to power.

Petty politics

Pathan, the AIMIM legislator from Byculla, said he and fellow party legislator from Aurangabad Imtiaz Jalil first raised the demand.

"The Congress banned meat during Paryushan Parva, but did not pay heed to our community's demand for declaring a dry day on Eid-e-Milad, which is the Prophet's birth and death anniversary. This is the Congress' discrimination against the Muslims and it is doing this now only to appease voters ahead of the Mumbai civic elections," Pathan told mid-day.

Relationship education programs are the cornerstone of these government efforts to strengthen low-income Americans’ relationships. These federally funded programs focus on teaching couples new skills to improve their relationships, targeting areas like healthy communication, showing affection and conflict management.

Relationship education has been around for several decades, and evidence from trials of primarily middle-class, white couples had shown modest results. The hope of the federal initiatives was that by increasing access to these types of programs among low-income couples, their relationships would benefit and so would their children.

To test the effectiveness of relationship education programs, starting in 2002 the government funded the two largest randomized controlled trials on the issue ever conducted. The first, Building Strong Families, included unmarried low-income couples who were expecting or had just had a


couples’ marriages changed over time, and what predicted changes in couples’ marital satisfaction.

We visited couples in their homes four times over the first three years of marriage. During these visits, couples reported how happy they were with their marriage, and participated in conversations about issues in their marriage. These ran the gamut: from management of money, to division of chores, to children.

We were interested in how couples communicated during these conversations, in keeping with the emphasis on communication in the relationship education programs supported by the recent federal initiatives. We considered positive communication to reflect behaviors like positive mood, warmth, humor, and responsiveness. On the flip side, contempt, denial, dominance, and hostility would be reflected as negative communication.

As we expected, communication and relationship satisfaction over time were associated:Insertion gain

In telecommunication, insertion gain is the gain resulting from the insertion of a device in a transmission line, expressed as the ratio of the signal power delivered to that part of the line following the device to the signal power delivered to that same part before insertion.  If the resulting number is less than unity, an "insertion loss" is indicated.

Insertion gain is usually expressed in dB.

After touring the localHeading to Canada is one of the only options seen by many of the 50,000 Haitians who've been living under temporary protection status in the U.S. — but many don't know they face deportation here, too, should their asylum claim be rejected.

The temporary protection status for Haitians in the U.S. granted after the 2010 earthquake is set to expire in January.

The Department of Homeland Security considers Haiti to be a safe country now, and it's warned that the U.S. doesn't intend to renew that status, prompting the deluge of asylum seekers crossing into Canada.

"There is a major humanitarian crisis coming up this January," said Emmanuel Depas, a New York-based immigration lawyer, who was born in Haiti.

Depas said many of his clients' only hope is coming to Canada. Going


back to Haiti would mean living in poverty, facing persecution or, for a fifth of them with U.S.-born children, being separated from their families, he said.

"I've even suggested looking into Canada to people because there aren't that many options," he told CBC News Thursday.

End of Canada's deportation protection

"It's a real threat. Donald Trump is out to make immigrants' lives uncomfortable in the United States, to the point where they no longer feel welcome here," Depas added.

However, Canada's own program granting Haitian nationals temporary refuge here after the earthquake has already ended, after it was extended twice by the Trudeau government.

InDepas, the New York lawyer, the climate for those without status in the United States is the worst it's been in a long time, and the anxiety for immigrant families is hitting fever pitch.

"Anybody that's in the way of ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement], who doesn't have documents, they'll take them," Depas said.

Living without status means "living in the shadows," he said, facing victimization from under-the-table employers and law enforcement.

The U.S. decision will also affect Haiti's economy, which is largely reliant on remittances sent from family members working in North America. That money is helping Haiti's ability to rebuild after the earthquake and the hurricane, he said.

Though temporary protection status was "never supposed to lead to a green card or citizenship, it's still a benefit," he said.


"When you give somebody something … it's really hard to take it away."

"People, they've developed ties, roots into this country."

Uncertain future after 12 years in U.S.

Farah Larrieux was in her early 20s when she arrived in the U.S. in 2005 with her husband, some big dreams and a tourist visa.

She began a public relations company and bought a car, so the couple applied for green cards. When they were refused, she "lost everything," Larrieux told CBC News.

After Larrieux and her partner divorced, she fought depression along with a court deportation order.

Larrieux wasn't allowed to work or drive during that time. When the temporary protection status was established in 2010, her application was approved.

"I was finally able to find a job and rebuild my life step by step," shesaid from her work in Miramar, Fla.

Farah Larrieux has been in the U.S. since 2005 and was granted temporary protection status in 2010. Now, she may have to leave. (Farah Larrieux)

"Out of the blue, now they're telling us, we're kicking you out?… This is real injustice."

She's been advocating for the U.S. Congress to adjust the status of all those with temporary protection status — estimated to be around 300,000 people from several countries — so they can stay permanently.

If not, she said, the displacement will create a crisis for millions, and Haitians will continue to risk their lives to try to reach the U.S. and Canada — only to be told, one day, to go back.

Lauri Hogge used to handle child abuse and neglect cases as a prosecutor for Hampton. She was often frustrated at how many times children had to relive abuse by telling, then retelling their stories.

Since late 1998 the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters in Norfolk has tried to provide a way to do that with its Child Abuse Program. For the past three years, Hogge has been the director of the program with a goal of providing a "one-stop" place for children to tell their stories.

The movie just leaves you with chills. And


it still holds up today, in the respect of anyone who didn't agree with the "Administration" (of Senator Johnny Iselin) was immediately dismissed as unpatriotic and a communist. Interesting parallels to today's politics, but I won't go there! Angela Lansbury was appallingly wonderful. I swear, she has "mothers from hell" in her blood. Her ditzy southern bell Mama ("give your Mama some SUGAHHH, honey") was the only thing that made Elvis' "Blue Hawaii" bearable aside from the scenery.

Laurence Harvey is one of my all time favorite actors, and his portrayal of Sergeant Shaw is just searing.

I wanted to provide a link for you guys. It is for a movie review website that is so great. It features tons of well-known, big name critics and a ton of otherswas looking more for a duplicate of the original which of course could not take place in Iraq.

I think in real life, but I am not sure, that Denzel has a son in Iraq and doesn't want him killed over non existent WMD and definitely not for Haliburton profits. That was why he accepted this role. Maybe someone can check that out.

In the first film, the mother believed in the Communist way of life I think in the second film, she believes in the importance of profits over life.

I hope to see this on Wednesday and report will hope you will, too, at some point too.


Leave it to the Fighting Irish to vanquish the sheepish, the snobbish and the priggish. This month, the University of Notre Dame (UND) re-filed its lawsuit for relief against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate which is set to take effect January 1, 2014.

Forget the Audacity of Hope. Theres nothing audacious or courageous about a president who flits about, attacking religious freedom, while he poses for selfies during funeral ceremonies. Lets come together under the Courage of Catholics at the University of Notre Dame.

Certainly, the Catholic Church and some of her leaders have stumbled. Notre Dame made the blunder of bestowing pro-abortion President Obama with an honorary degree and inviting him to deliver the May, 2009 commencement keynote address. Recently, the Pope tried toAbout Ethelreda Harington

Ethelreda Malte, also called Audrey and Esther, was the daughter of John Malte (d.1547), Henry VIII's tailor, and Joanna Dyngley, although some sources claim she was the natural daughter of the king. Malte, however, claimed her as his own. Joanna Dyngley apparently took no part in her daughter’s life and was married to a man named Dobson at some point after Ethelreda's birth. As for John Malte, he received a sizeable grant of land from the king in 1541, including the manors of Watchenfeld and Offyngton in Berkshire, and another, with Ethelreda, in 1546. John Malte’s will is dated September 10, 1546 and was proved June 7, 1547. In it he calls Ethelreda “Awdrey Malte, my bastard daughter, begotten on the body of Joane Dingley, now


that John Malte lived with his daughter, Bridget Scutt, and that Ethelreda continued to live with the Scutts after his death, marrying John Harington somewhat later than Harington's biographer proposes. Jones also gives Ethelreda an earlier suitor. She believes that Ethelreda was always sickly (the excuse for her husband's interest in Isabella Markham) and died in November 1555 at St. Catherine’s Court. She also suggests, on very little "proof," that Harington had an earlier first wife named Esther. One record Jones quotes calls Ethelreda John Malte’s “bastard daughter Etheldred alias Dingley.” My take: in the usual usage of the time, that would mean Dingley was the name Ethelreda was born with, ie. her mother’s surname at the time. All in all, Jones’s book makes interesting reading, but Idon’t believe her conclusions about Ethelreda and others are any more valid than those I present in this who's who, and I have the excuse of being a novelist rather than a scholar."

Henry's tailor, John Malte, was persuaded to recognise Ethelreda as his illegitimate daughter, born in the late 1520's. Her mother, Joan Dyngley, a royal laundress, was married off to a man named Dobson. Ethelreda (or Audrey) took the surname Malte and married John Harrington in 1547. Henry granted lands to Ethelreda. She was still living in 1555, but died before 1559 as her husband remarried in that year. He inherited all the lands Henry VIII had granted her.

--------------------

Ethelreda Malte, also sometimes named as Audrey Malte (born c. 1527), was a lady at the court of Henry


VIII of England. She married John Harington but their marriage was childless. She had previously been engaged.[1] Ethelreda owned properties previously belonging to Shaftsbury Nunnery.[2]

According to some reports, she was the illegitimate daughter of the King.[3] Her mother, Joan Dingley, was the royal laundress and the man who claimed to be her father, John Malte, was the King's tailor. Although he was not married to her mother he did leave Ethelreda money in his will.527

Cuphead is a "retro cartoon platformer" of a different sort: Not retro as in blocky and pixelated, as is usually the case with videogames, but rather in the way it's styled after the old cartoons of the 1930s and '40s. A pair of gameplay trailers released in the summer—one here, and the other here—showcased its stunning style, and the addition of proper platforming came as a relief to both Shaun and Tom, who were a bit cool on the idea of a straight-up boss rush.

Unfortunately, word has come out of Studio MDHR that the game will miss its planned 2016 release by quite a margin.

Yet, at their Malta meeting at the end of April, EU foreign ministers chose the path of moderation, with EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini even voicing “respect” for the result of the referendum. Such an unexpected qualification—read by liberal Turks as approval—has caused shock among democracy and human rights defenders, who see EU realpolitik reaching extremes they believed were off limits. But the EU ministers set clear redlines: the degradation in Turkey’s rule of law leaves no room for progress in the country’s EU accession negotiations, and it is up to Ankara to show real progress toward EU democratic standards.

Turkey’s rule of law, referendum procedures, and constitutional reform have received


unanimously negative assessments from all organizations concerned: the Council of Europe’s Venice Commission and Parliamentary Assembly, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the European Parliament, and the European Commission. Yet, there is no word on where to go from here.

The next opportunity for dialogue will be in the margins of the NATO meeting in Brussels on May 25, when the Turkish president will have at least two crucial meetings: one with the newly elected French president, Emmanuel Macron, and the other with the European Commission president, Jean-Claude Juncker, and the European Council president, Donald Tusk.

Ahead of these talks, Ankara’s narrative is that Turkey should be supported by the EU in its fight against terrorism and not kept waiting any longer at the door with unfulfilled promises.the Buddha!’

Pakistanis celebrated the return of international cricket at home with the arrival of players from seven countries for a tournament, following a long pause over security concerns.

The World XI squad players from England, Australia, West Indies, South Africa, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and New Zealand arrived in Lahore early on Monday amid tight security to play a three-match Twenty20 series against Pakistan.

Pakistan, which organised the series in a bid to revive international cricket at home, has only hosted Zimbabwe for a short, limited-overs series in 2015.

The years-long pause began in 2009, when gunmen attacked the Sri Lankan national cricket team bus in Lahore, wounding several of the players and killing six policemen


and a driver.

"This series could not have been better timed," said Pakistani former test captain and fast bowler Waqar Younis. "Pakistan produced a superb performance by winning the ICC Champions Trophy, and the players deserve the opportunity to display their class at home venues."

Ramiz Raja, another former Pakistan test cricketer and now television commentator, also celebrated the return of international cricket at home.

"These might be baby steps before some giant steps are taken. For now, let's back this to the hilt," he said.

Top officials of the Pakistan Cricket Board, including its chairman Najam Sethi, welcomed the players at the airport.

"It's great to be here," said Andy Flower, the World XI coach and former Zimbabwe captain. "We are looking forward to seeing a lot of you watching the greathelping out of poverty.

Jamillah Daudi started a tailoring business, focussing predominantly on making boys’ shorts to sell at the local market. Alhamdulillah everything is going according to her business plan. Thanks to her new business, she’s been able to purchase iron sheets to mould bricks as part of the construction for a new sturdier home. Now, Jamillah’s dream for the future is to start a clothing business, sourcing her own materials and selling her clothes to nearby villages. In two years’ time, she also plans to open a tailoring school where she’d liked to share her knowledge and skills in pattern work, sewing, cutting, design, ironing and business to local rural women.

Agness Mwase started her knitting business during winter, meaning she was able to sell lots of jumpers

She is running her business at home but is now searching for a good business location in Limbe. Alhamdulillah, within a short period of time she’s managed to purchase iron sheets for her new house and is hoping to build a house before the rainy season arrives.

Mandala Muhammad purchased four bicycles with the help of the WEEF project, opening up a world of possibilities for herself and the community. As most people in Malawi live on less than £1.50 a day, being able to afford to take the bus regularly is impossible, let alone buying a car.For many locals, owning a bicycle is however an excellent solution to such problems as for women in particular, it allows them to run their businesses by giving them the means to buy and transport stock which they can sell within their local communities. What’s more it also enables them to collect water and food for their children and to have greater contact with the world outside. With her new business, Mandala rents her bicycles to boys who give her money at the end of each week. This provides a great service to the community, especially as Mandala has also set aside one bicycle for local villagers to use to reach the nearest hospital which is almost 15km away.

Without nearly as much fanfare, same-sex partners Jason Pickel and Darren Black Bear were able to exploit a loophole in Oklahoma law in order to become the state's first legally married gay couple.

Despite being one of the gayest states, Oklahoma prohibits same-sex marriage in the strictest of terms, and a resolution to reaffirm the definition of marriage as being between one man and one woman passed unanimously in the state's House of Representatives earlier this year (though 16 Democrats did walk out in protest).

However, after the Defense of Marriage Act was struck down by the Supreme Court back in June (over Oklahoma's objection), Pickel decidedthrough things like media, things like porn. Things like films, music, anything really." (Angela, aged 26--35 years, single)"

Ten women described experiencing or witnessing gender-based violence of some form, with six of them describing surviving abusive relationships or experiences, including sustained and often coercive and controlling relationships with violence over months or years.

Four days after it was learned that Brent Salazar was leaving the Vikings to join the U.S. Tennis Association, the Vikings announced that Mark Uyeyama will replace him as head strength and conditioning coach.

Uyeyama spent the previous nine seasons with the 49ers, working his way up from his first role as assistant strength and conditioning coach to the head job to director of human performance in 2015 and 2016.

Uyeyama figures to bring a sports science background to the Vikings after using science and technology to keep tabs on 49ers players. Chip Kelly, the former 49ers and Eagles coach who was considered “a mad scientist” for utilizing sports science, raved about Uyeyama last May.

“Uye, our strength coach, they’re cutting-edge guys that have been on top of everything,” Kelly toldAs a new video is published showing fighters of the Al Qaeda-linked Al-Nusra Front in Syria executing 11 men they say are Bashar Assad’s soldiers, Obama talks to Turkey’s Erdogan, renewing threats of action against the Syrian government.

The video, which was posted on YouTube on Thursday, is believed to have been filmed in the eastern Deir-al Zor province and appears to date from some time in 2012, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group with a network of activists in Syria.

The footage shows the commander, his face obscured in a black balaclava, shooting each prisoner in the back of the head as they kneel blindfolded lined up in the sand.

Hamad admitted to the magazine that he had mutilated the corpse of the soldier as an act of revenge for allegedly defiling a naked woman and her daughter.

The footage was swiftly condemned by the Syrian opposition.

Nadim Houry of Human Rights Watch told the Guardian that it is “not enough for Syria’s opposition to condemn such behavior or blame it on violence by the government. The opposition forces need to act firmly to stop such abuses.”

But Hamad, who is also known as Abu Sakkar, has also received support amongst the more hardline rebels in Syria. Sakkar’s supporters often make portraits of himthe Standard Auction Terms by participating in an auction or by registering online at Heritage's website. The Standard Auction Terms contained a broad arbitration clause requiring all disputes arising from or relating to any auction transactions, or auction-related property or agreement, to be resolved by arbitration in Dallas, Texas.
Extended Payment Terms: On February 23, 2001, Paul executed a document entitled "Extended Payment Terms for Dealers with Preapproved Credit" (the "Extended Payment Terms"). This was in *5 connection with Heritage's 2001 February Long Beach Signature Sale, and it contained a similar arbitration clause.
Consignment Agreement and Consignment Terms: On March 19, 2002, Paul executed an agreement on behalf of RGI entitled "Auction Consignment Agreement" (the "Consignment Agreement"). This agreement specifically covered a Signature Sale on April 25-27, 2002. It included

The two bankruptcy cases involved here were filed about two years apart. On October 7, 2003, RGI filed a voluntary Chapter 11 petition, listing Heritage as the holder of unsecured debt. Heritage did not file a proof of claim. On February 14, 2005, the bankruptcy judge confirmed a plan of reorganization. On October 14, 2005, Paul filed an individual bankruptcy case under Chapter 7. In November 2005, Paul was terminated by Heritage. Heritage filed two proofs of claim in his personal bankruptcy case.
After his termination by Heritage, Paul found employment as a buyer for Rare Coin Wholesalers ("RCW"). At RCW, he made coin purchases at auctions, including those run by Heritage. In January 2006, RGI moved to convert its case to a liquidation under Chapter7 because, according to Paul, he was unable to continue RGI's business in light of his full-time employment with RCW. The motion was granted on February 1, 2006.
On December 29, 2006, the Trustee filed motions in both bankruptcy cases seeking to retain special counsel to prosecute claims against Heritage on behalf of both debtors' estates. The Trustee claims that defendant Ivy forwarded a message to RCW that indicated that Paul would not be permitted to participate in Heritage auctions as a result of the ongoing dispute between Heritage and Paul. Two days later, Paul was purportedly told by RCW that he was terminated because he was substantially less profitable to RCW if he could not participate in Heritage auctions.

A Kind Man Is Giving Free Haircuts to the Homeless

Hairstylist Mark Bustos greets them with a simple phrase: "I'd like to do something nice for you today."

Mark Bustos spends a lot of his time working at a high-end salon in New York City, but he also manages to fit some community service into his schedule every week. On Sundays, Bustos gives haircuts to homeless people that he encounters on the streets, often sharing the transformations on his Instagram account.

Bustos was inspired to offer his styling services to the needy while visiting his family in the Philippines. He rented a barbershop chair for a day and gave haircuts to children in need. He told the Huffington Post, "The feeling was so rewarding, I decided to bring the positive energyand depth of the anesthesia. All the subjects served as their own controls.

Goldman’s Sport Marketing class at the University of San Francisco.are set forth as follows:
3. During the aforesaid time frame, video poker machines were present in the United States Judicial District known as the Western District of Pennsylvania, including, but not limited to the following counties: Allegheny, Beaver, Washington and Westmoreland.
4. During the aforesaid time span, these video poker machines were found most frequently, but not exclusively, in bars, lounges, taverns, restaurants, coffee shops, social halls or fraternal and veterans' organizations, laundromats and other places visited by members of the public or members of fraternal and veterans' organizations (hereinafter, collectively referred to as the "locations").
5. During the aforesaid time span, the vast majority of cities, boroughs, townships and other municipalities (hereinafter collectively, the "local governments"), imposed an annual fee or charge on all amusement devices, including video poker


and working with others on their agendas, and conferring with PAVO's attorneys. Through his work with PAVO, he communicated with persons involved in the video poker machine industry throughout Pennsylvania and was familiar with the activities of almost all of the video poker machine owners and locations in the City of Pittsburgh.
On August 16, 1989, at the Sheraton Hotel in Pittsburgh, there was a PAVO meeting. At the meeting, Defendant Curtin gave the welcome and introduction. There were also remarks by PAVO's general counsel, William Difenderfer, and Mr. Phillip Benson from Montana.
Among the purposes to which PAVO adhered were to settle confusion arising from licenses being issued by municipalities, to advocate legalizing video poker machine gambling in Pennsylvania, to hire lobbyists to that end and to garner supporttestimony, which related to procedures existing in 1993, Defendant Ferrell proffered that the then existing procedures would be related back to the time covered by the Indictment. On that basis, the Court overruled the Government's relevance objection.
Shortly thereafter, however, the Government again objected to the relevance of the testimony, and the Court sustained the Government's objection. The thrust of the Government's objection was that Mr. Amity had not communicated to municipal officials an intention to engage in illegal gambling activity and, therefore, the municipalities' proceeding with the license applications was irrelevant to the de facto legality and "entrapment by estoppel" contentions being advanced by Defendant Ferrell. The Court agreed with the Government. Because not all video poker machines are per se illegal in Pennsylvania, the Court indicated that


video poker machines; they engaged in promotions to attract players; they consented to be interviewed by the news media; and they paid local governments tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars each year for licenses and permits.
Initially, the Federal Government investigated activities involving video poker machines for possible tax violations. In 1988 and 1989, the Federal Government's focus shifted to possible violations of racketeering statutes, such as operating an illegal gambling business, 18 U.S.C. § 1955, and money laundering, 18 U.S.C. § 1956. The federal government's power to investigate and prosecute persons for violations of these statutes depends on them being engaged in a gambling business which is illegal under Pennsylvania law.
Although it is illegal to use video poker machines as gambling devices in gambling activities, Pennsylvanialaw enforcement officials tolerate these machines.
Duffy Conley and others formed the Pennsylvania Association of Video Operators. Although Duffy Conley and organizations he controlled provided most of PAVO's financial support, others, such as Defendant Ferrell and one John Varney, a defendant in the only other video poker machine case in the Western District of Pennsylvania, also contributed to PAVO. As an organization, PAVO engaged in lobbying activities designed to introduce the merits of video poker machine gambling to members of the legislature. PAVO attempted to generate a groundswell of public support for its goals. PAVO circulated cards for members of the public to sign evidencing support for legalized video poker machine gambling. It obtained the support of members of the general assembly who became sponsors of the sought-after legislation.
PAVO's


activities attracted the attention of law enforcement officials. State Police officers attended PAVO meetings and filed reports stating their observations. The State Police officers shared their knowledge with federal agents and Pittsburgh Police officers.
In the fall of 1989, shortly after the surveillance of PAVO, F.B.I. Special Agent John Donnelly ("S.A. Donnelly"), who was then investigating video poker machine activities unrelated to defendants in the instant case, had a chance meeting with Duffy Conley at the Main Hotel in Carnegie, Pennsylvania. Duffy Conley told S.A. Donnelly that the F.B.I. was wasting its time because video poker machine gambling was on the verge of becoming legal, rather than merely tolerated, in Pennsylvania.
A little over one month later, federal agents, along with state and local police officers, met with an AssistantUnited States Attorney to draft a one-hundred page affidavit in support of search warrants for business properties used by Duffy Conley and his organizations. Searches of 930 Saw Mill Run and 1300 Windgap Avenue were executed in December 1989. During the search of 1300 Windgap Avenue, Federal agents seized numerous records concerning PAVO, its contributors and supporters, and its activities.
PAVO's activities continued into the fall of 1990, when the Pennsylvania General Assembly enacted legislation legalizing video poker machines as gambling devices. Governor Casey, however, vetoed the legislation, which never became law. Within a year, a federal grand jury handed down the Indictment in this case.
Defendant Ferrell subpoenaed voluminous documents from local governments throughout Allegheny County. The documents reveal the names and addresses of persons who obtained licenses and


in part and deferring in part the motion to adopt Ferrell's motions to dismiss filed by Defendants Duffy Conley and Curtin, incorporates the facts proffered in the first of his briefs. His second brief alleges more facts and contains an Exhibit A, proffering further evidence.
Exhibit "A" to Defendant John F. "Duffy" Conley's Brief in Support of Phillip "Mike" Ferrell's Motions to Dismiss states:
Defendant John F. "Duffy" Conley is prepared to present the testimony of several witnesses, who, during the indictable period (1985-1991) served in an elected and/or supervisory position within various Allegheny County political subdivisions, those governing political bodies including, but not limited to, McKees Rocks Borough, Robinson Township, Kennedy Township and Brentwood Borough.
If presented an opportunity, each witness will testify that their respective municipal government bodies licensedInfraction and a Lawful Exercise of Public Authority, Exhibit "A" at 1-2 (Document No. 749, Exhibit "A").
In the second of his briefs, Defendant Duffy Conley reiterates that law enforcement personnel from the federal, state and local level have testified that, to the knowledge of each, video poker machines are used solely for gambling purposes.
Duffy Conley also states the following:
"Duffy" Conley's view that video poker machines have attained the status of de facto legality is shared by Attorney General Ernie Preate. He testified before a legislative committee on May 24, 1990 that, when he assumed office (which was in January, 1989): "In most areas of Pennsylvania, video poker machines were so widespread, enforcement efforts were so intermittent and the resulting sanctions so minor that the situation was tantamount to


the inferences therefrom in the light most favorable to the Defendants, the proffered evidence establishes the following scenario.
Both video poker machines and video poker gambling are widespread in the Western District of Pennsylvania. Most local governments have ordinances requiring either a license or a permit to operate a video poker machine. While some local governments license video poker machines under the general rubric of video amusement devices, others license video poker machines as such. Most of the ordinances pursuant to which the licenses were issued state that no licenses will be issued for illegal gambling devices or devices declared illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction. Hundreds, if not thousands, of persons have received the applicable permits *935 from local governments to operate video poker machines. The localat 1532), cert. denied, ___ U.S. ___, 114 S.Ct. 720, 126 L.Ed.2d 684 (1994). For present purposes, it is established by the Indictment that the Duffy Conley organization conducted a large scale illegal gambling business from 1984 through most of 1991. The Defendants' proffered evidence indicates that the Government investigated the Defendants' activities from 1986 through the date of the Indictment. For about two years the Government investigated possible tax violations. In 1988 and 1989, the Government's focus shifted to violations of Sections 1955 and 1956. Only in the summer of 1989 did the Defendants enter into political activities.
At some point, presumably shortly before the formation of PAVO, Duffy Conley and his associates became concerned about the illegality of their business. Duffy Conley phrases it as follows:

Zierlein said Thursday that sources have told him that Ray might need toe surgery that would require a five month recovery time and because of that, he believes the Missouri linebacker could drop out of the first round.

Ray, who was named SEC Defensive Player of the Year after leading the SEC with 14.5 sacks, had to sit out the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine due to a hyper-extended toe injury that he reportedly suffered during Missouri’s bowl game. He did do everything at his pro day, however,


a huge commitment for most companies, it represents only 10 percent of ExxonMobil's current capital spending levels. Those levels would likely increase with higher oil prices. Moreover, ExxonMobil has been a major operator and investor in the Gulf of Mexico for decades. The gulf accounts for nearly a fifth of U.S. domestic oil production.

The White House and company releases came shortly after ExxonMobil's new chief executive Darren W. Woods talked about the 10-year plan at CERA Week, a major oil industry conference held annually in Houston.

"ExxonMobil is strategically investing in new refining and chemical-manufacturing projects in the U.S. Gulf Coast region to expand its manufacturing and export capacity," said the company's press release, posted at 3:10 pm Eastern. "The company's Growing the Gulf expansion program, consists of 11major chemical, refining, lubricant and liquefied natural gas projects at proposed new and existing facilities along the Texas and Louisiana coasts. Investments began in 2013 and are expected to continue through at least 2022."

"Exxon Mobil is strategically investing in new refining and chemical-manufacturing projects in the United States Gulf Coast region to expand its manufacturing and export capacity," said the White House's press release, in which Trump is quoted as praising Exxon for creating jobs. "The company's Growing the Gulf program consists of 11 major chemical, refining, lubricant and liquefied natural gas projects at proposed new and existing facilities along the Texas and Louisiana coasts. Investments began in 2013 and are expected to continue through at least 2022."

The White House release was received by email at 3:44 pm


and is posted on the White House website. Apart from some apparent copy-editing changes, the only difference is that the White House version describes the "Growing the Gulf program" rather than the "Growing the Gulf expansion program."

The two releases also shared another nearly identical sentence -- "These jobs will have a multiplier effect, creating many more jobs in the communities that service these new investments," was stated by Woods in the ExxonMobil press release. With only a slight change, that sentence appeared, unattributed to Woods, at the end of the White House press release.

Requests for comment to the White House and ExxonMobil were not immediately returned.Harry Potter's Hermione, Emma Watson, May Magically Disappear.

Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films, will apparently not be playing her anymore.

Warner Bros has adamantly denied the claim though. According to one WB spokesman, "She's a sixteen year-old girl, she can't say no to the might of our studio. We will crush her, CRUSH HER!!!!"

When the March 2017 issue of The Society of Vertebrate Paleontology Memoir shared the news of discovering the largest dinosaur footprint ever, on the Kimberley shoreline in a distant section of Western Australia, the scientific community rode a wave of euphoria over dinosaurs. Such type of elation is certainly shared by any avid admirer of the prehistoric creatures each time a major find occurs.

It was no different in the case of the world’s best-preserved dinosaur fossil ever found, regarding its size and condition. This find concerned a nodosaur discovered by miners in Canada in 2011. It took experts a few years of meticulous preservation to process the nodosaur specimen, after which it was displayed at the Royal Tyrrell Museum in Alberta, Canada. Then good moods sparkled, even more,when the June 2017 issue of National Geographic came out, featuring the nodosaur on its front page.

However, the story was slightly different in the case of the Bolivia’s Cal Orcko Parque Cretácico. When mine workers at the Bolivian site first noticed dinosaur footprints as early as 1985, nobody acknowledged the fact that this place might be a real paleontological breakthrough. It just happened that Cal Orcko, indeed, was the world’s number one location, where some of the most diverse dinosaur footprints from the Cretaceous era can be seen.

Cal Orcko sits just a few miles west of the Bolivian city of Sucre, a site that, for many years before the trails were found, exclusively served as mining property of the FANCESA cement company. It was already 1994 when the


Irma lashes at Puerto Rico, leaves tiny Barbuda devastated

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Hurricane Irma lashed Puerto Rico with heavy rain and powerful winds Wednesday, leaving more than 600,000 people without power as authorities struggled to get aid to small Caribbean islands already devastated by the historic storm.

Florida rushed to prepare for a possible direct hit on the Miami area by the Category 5 storm with potentially catastrophic 185 mph winds.

Nearly every building on the island of Barbuda was damaged when the eye of the storm passed almost directly overhead early Wednesday and about 60 percent of themarines who flew to St. Martin and two other Dutch islands hammered by Irma reported extensive damage but no deaths or injuries.

By early Wednesday evening, the center of the storm was 40 miles northwest of St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands and 55 miles northeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico, and heading west-northwest at 16 mph (26 kph).

More than 600,000 Puerto Ricans were without power and nearly 50,000 without water, the U.S. territory’s emergency management agency said. Fourteen hospitals were using generators after losing power, and trees and light poles were strewn across roads.

The U.S. National Weather Service said Puerto Rico had not seen a hurricane of Irma’s magnitude since Hurricane San Felipe in 1928, which killed a total of 2,748 people in Guadeloupe, Puerto Rico and


Florida, and authorities in the Bahamas said they were evacuating six southern islands.

Experts worried that Irma could rake the entire Florida east coast from Miami to Jacksonville and then head into Savannah, Georgia, and the Carolinas, striking highly populated and developed areas.

“This could easily be the most costly storm in U.S. history, which is saying a lot considering what just happened two weeks ago,” said Brian McNoldy, a hurricane researcher at the University of Miami.

The mayor of Miami-Dade County said people should be prepared to evacuate Miami Beach and most coastal areas as soon as Wednesday evening. He activated the emergency operation center and urged residents to have three days’ worth of food and water.

The State Department authorized voluntary evacuation of U.S. diplomats and their families from thehe called the largest storm evacuation in the country’s history.

The northern parts of the Dominican Republic and Haiti could see 10 inches (25 centimeters) of rain, with as much as 20 inches (50 centimeters) in the southeast Bahamas and Turks and Caicos.

The website cruisecritic.com said 28 cruises had been canceled, shortened or had their itineraries changed as a result of the hurricane.

Also Wednesday, Tropical Storm Katia formed in the Gulf of Mexico off Mexico’s coast and rapidly became a hurricane. It had sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph) and Mexico’s government issued a hurricane watch for the coast of Veracruz state from Tuxpan to Laguna Verde. Katia was about 185 miles (300 kilometers) north-northeast of the city of Veracruz and was expected to drift toward the coast

thermal effects after the layers are coated on a web. Another theorized cause was interlayer mass transport of solvent, for example, in the coating of photographic elements, where adjacent layers often contain varying amounts of gelatin. It was thought that these differences cause water diffusion between the layers which, in turn, can significantly alter the resulting viscosities of the individual layers after they are coated on the web. In this way, viscosity disparities between layers may be introduced on the web for layers which were originally coated at nominally equal viscosities. It was also stated that an osmotic pressure difference between adjacent layers drives interlayer water diffusion in gelatin-containing multilayer coating packs, such as commonly used in the photographic industry and that, in many cases, osmotic pressure differencesUPDATED 0900 GMT, July 25, 2014

The disappeared Air Algerie flight AH5017 has crashed in Mali after flying through violent storms, it has been confirmed.

Algerian television station Elnahar confirmed the plane went down due to bad weather and an Algerian aviation official had told Reuters flight AH5017 had crashed.

The region was badly affected by violent storms and it was earlier said the plane was rerouted while it was flying over Mali.

The plane crashed after passing the capital of Niger and it is presumed all 116 people on board have been killed.

There were six crew members, mostly Spanish, and 110 passengers, comprising mainly French people, when the plane went down.

The flight, which departed from the Burkinan capital city of Ouagadougou, lost contact with ground control while it was cruising above


Ireland is on the verge of a great anniversary. the centenary of the 1916 Rising. A Rising of poets and teachers against oppression. A Rising of women and workers against inequality and squalid living conditions. A progressive Rising for a new Ireland, free from shackles of the world’s foremost military and economic colonial superpower.

One hundred years on Ireland has its own endemic problems. A sovereign country that cannot provide enough hospital beds for its sick, or build enough homes for its citizens whilst in the grips of a homelessness crisis. Water charges, property tax and the closure of public services throughout the country have people totally and utterly dismayed.

Perhaps its eight years of incessant austerity that has Ireland ripe for a real alternative. In 2011 the electorate rightfullyPPP and opposition PML-N during Dr. Sheikh speech.

The government announced no new taxes for the coming year. Expenditure increases include a raise of 20% for government employees. The government has set an inflation target of 9.5% for the coming year.

Other expenditure increases included an increase of Rs 20 billion for the military in total. By sector the Navy will receive Rs 52.7 billion and the Air Force will get Rs 114 billion. the entire defense sector will receive 264 billion in the coming year.

The budget included a host of measures that reduced taxes and reduced the reach of taxes. The minimum tax rate was increased to Rs 400,000. The duty on raw materials for certain medicines was reduced from 10% to 5%. There was also a reduction in


the sales tax on imports. It has fallen from 22.5% to 19%.

The government dedicated Rs 873 billion for the national development plan and Rs 360 billion for the Public Sector Development.

Despite the huge amount of changes introduced in the budget the entire proceedings were completely overshadowed by the protests of the opposition. The opposition member of parliament are angry about recent power cuts in the country and corruption among the governments current politicians.

Some of the slogans chanted by the opposition protesters were “the corrupt rulers should quit”, “people want water electricity and gas” and “respect the constitution”. These, and others, were repeated loudly by the 25-30 members of parliament that surrounded the finance minister as he read his budget.

urging the graduates to:

Take responsibility not just for your successes; take responsibility where you fall short as well.

Perhaps the 17- and 18-year-old graduates in the room believed the president really meant that. However, one would hope the more informed adults in the room had a collective gasp after Obama uttered those words.

Such comments flatly fly in the face of policies he has promoted since and prior to coming to the White House.

General Motors CEO Ed Whitacre is all over the airwaves with the company's new ad touting the fact that it paid back all of its government loan early and with interest. One problem: The loan was only a small part of the total taxpayer money dumped into the struggling car company.

PolitiFact details the problem with Whitacre's characterizationof his company's status with taxpayers:

It's true that GM has squared up on its government loans, but Whitacre isn't telling the full story here.

With GM in deep trouble and hundreds of thousands of jobs in the balance, the Obama administration -- through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) -- stepped forward with tens of billions of dollars worth of assistance. As of March 31, 2010, the U.S. Treasury had committed approximately $52.4 billion to GM.

The government already has a huge stake in our economy, but soon it will be even larger.

The Treasury announced Wednesday that they will be giving GMAC 3.8 billion dollars to help bailout of the company. The Wall Street Journalreports:

The additional aid brings the total U.S. investment in GMAC to $16.3 billion and raises the


The moment the rabbi walked through the door all the students jumped to their feet… and I looked about desperately for a way out of the room.

The rabbi wore a long coat, a wide, antiquated black hat, an untrimmed beard, Coke-bottle spectacles and, incredibly, sidelocks. I knew — I just knew — what was going to happen next: the rabbi would lecture us in a thick German accent and tell us we were all damned to hell. There was no way I could sit through such an ordeal.

But I had taken a seat in the far back corner of the room and now found myself trapped by the crowd of glassy-eyed acolytes eager to drink in the torrent of demagoguery that was about to come our way. IWUHAN, China — People desperate for treatment started descending on a new hospital that was mostly built in just 10 days to help cope with the outbreak of the new coronavirus in the central city of Wuhan on Monday.

Construction workers in hard hats, medical staff in hazmat suits, and men and women in army fatigues scrambled around the dusty site on Monday afternoon, dodging moving trucks, excavators and cranes. Workers were still trying to finish construction on the Huoshenshan Hospital — a name that means “Fire God Mountain” — even as the facility prepared to accept its first batch of patients, the official state broadcaster, China Central Television, reported.
