On World Press Freedom Day last week,
Nigeria's Information Minister, Labaran Maku, publicly asserted that the
country's media "is one of the freest in the universe." On paper, Nigeria's
1999 Constitution
guarantees the freedom of the press to "uphold...the responsibility and
accountability of the government to the people." But seven journalists who
attempted to put this principle to practice on World Press Freedom Day
experienced a different reality -- one all too common for independent
journalists working in Africa's most populated nation.

Traore struck on the stroke of half-time, leaving Group A wide open with two rounds of matches to be played.

Having left a host of star names back on Merseyside, Rodgers named a somewhat experimental side, making nine changes from the team which had drawn with Newcastle in the Premier League on Sunday.

Brad Jones and Andre Wisdom were the only survivors, as Rodgers handed a senior competitive debut to Conor Coady in midfield, with teenager Adam Morgan leading the line in attack. A third Academy graduate, Jon Flanagan, also started, in a side skippered by Jamie Carragher.

And the youngsters began well, passing the ball confidently and retaining good shape.

It


took 23 minutes for the first real opening to be fashioned, with Morgan playing in Jordan Henderson with a neat reverse pass. The England U21 captain, however, opted to look for a square pass rather than a shot on goal, allowing Joao Carlos to intercept.

At the other end, Jones was forced to make a fine save to deny Samuel Eto'o ten minutes before half time, after Yuro Zhirkov had robbed Wisdom down the left, but the home side were rarely able to place any sustained pressure on their more callow visitors.

But in first-half stoppage time, Anzhi found a way through. Mbark Boussoufa fired a pass into the feet of Lacina Traore, who flicked the ball over Sebastian Coates with his first touch and then expertly lifted past theadvancing Jones with his second from just outside the penalty area.

After the break Morgan drilled an effort into the sidenetting from an acute angle, and then was snuffed out by Joao Carlos as he looked to take Flanagan's pass in his stride. Jones, meanwhile, comfortably fielded Eto'o's curling effort, whilst Traore drilled a 25-yard effort wide after nutmegging Henderson on the hour mark.

Rodgers made a double change on 61 minutes, replacing Coady and Morgan with Suso and Dani Pacheco, but the visitors struggled to create any clear-cut chances, despite plenty of possession.

Jones kept out Traore's point-blank header, before Suso's 30-yard strike was spilled by Vladimir Gabulov, who recovered in time to deny Cole's follow up.

That was Cole's last act, as he was replaced by Oussama Assaidi immediately. Traore


Seoul (AFP) - North Korea warned Friday that it was prepared to fire on sight without warning at South Korean naval vessels it accused of violating their disputed Yellow Sea border.

The Korean People's Army (KPA) said 17 South Korean high-speed patrol boats had crossed into the North's territorial waters in the first week of May "under the pretext" of intercepting Chinese fishing boats.

Issuing what it called an "emergency special warning", the KPA said the North Korean military would henceforth "make a sighting strike without any prior warning" on any South Korean naval ship deemed to have entered its waters.

In the event of any armed response, the KPA will "successively deal strong second, third and more retaliatory strikes at them," according to a statement carried by the North's officialKCNA news agency.

The South Korean defence ministry flatly denied the charges of incursions by its vessels, and accused the North of seeking to stir up tensions.

In a message to the KPA command, ministry spokesman Kim Nin-Seok said any aggression would be met with a strong, stern response "to the degree where you will bitterly repent".

The two Koreas recognise different boundaries dividing their territorial waters in the Yellow Sea.

The North argues that the demarcation recognised by the South -- the Northern Limit Line (NLL) -- is invalid because it was unilaterally drawn by US-led United Nations forces after the 1950-53 Korean War.

The North recognises what it calls the Military Demilitarization Line, which is south of the NLL.

Because the Korean conflict ended with a ceasefire rather than a treaty, the


two Koreas remain technically at war.

The maritime border has always been a flashpoint and was the scene of brief but bloody naval clashes in 1999, 2002 and 2009.

In November 2010, North Korea shelled Yeonpyeong island, killing four South Koreans and briefly triggering concerns of a full-scale conflict.

Most recently, North and South Korean naval patrol boats briefly exchanged warning fire in October last year.

Story continues

The situation is further complicated by the seasonal arrival of hundreds of Chinese trawlers which South Korea accuses of fishing illegally in its sovereign waters.

The South Korean coastguard and navy expend significant resources chasing and seizing the Chinese ships.

The definitive edition for the millennium and the galaxies and beyond! As far as we know…….on by Amari Cooper and Allen Hurns. There has even been a discussion to bench Butler, but Titans head coach Mike Vrabel has insisted on sticking with his $61 million prized corner.

For Butler, performance and Super Bowl aside, this game will perhaps mean more to him than any game in his career outside of the two Super Bowls he won. In Butler’s eyes, the Patriots gave up on him, and a chance to prove that Belichick made a mistake of letting him walk is on Butler’s horizon.

)n the flipside, as Colin Cowherd stated on his show The Herd Tuesday, Butler’s performance this season perhaps has already proved that Belichick makes no mistakes when he lets a player walk. This season, Butler has allowed 39 catches on 54 targets


for 618 yards and seven touchdowns. Butler has one interception to his name, but his overall play has warranted him an average rating of 51.9 on Pro Football Focus, which slates him as the 98th-best cornerback in the league. This Sunday grants Butler the perfect opportunity to right the ship for this season.In unusually forceful, angry, and personal terms, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Monday countered what he called "baseless smears" from left-wing media and vowed not to be "intimidated," in the wake of a Washington Post op-ed that declared McConnell a "Russian asset."

That op-ed was written by columnist Dana Milbank, whom McConnell bluntly suggested was one of several "hyperventilating hacks" who conveniently had ignored former President Obama's "feckless" Russia policies.

Milbank had argued that McConnell's opposition to several election-security bills proposed by Democrats effectively made him an unwitting Russian agent, and other pundits quickly echoed Milbank's argument. On MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday, host Joe Scarborough repeatedly called McConnell "Moscow Mitch," saying he was "aiding and abetting" Russian President Vladimir Putin's efforts to "subvert" American elections -- and even


mandated the use of paper ballots as well as voting machines that do not directly connect to the Internet, and included funding for the federal Election Assistance Commission.

The bill passed the House 225-184, with only one Republican vote, and McConnell then killed Democrats' bid to pass it in the Senate via unanimous consent. On Monday, McConnell chastised Democrats for the "partisan" maneuver, saying they knew the bill never had a chance of passing by unanimous consent, which can be blocked by a single senator.

Republicans have also said Democrats are playing politics by seeking election-security funding that has already been allocated for that purpose. Last year, Republicans allocated $380 million to the states for election security in a funding bill, although the move attracted little attention. States still havethe charge against the Obama administration's completely feckless Russia policies. President Obama mocked his 2012 opponent for taking Russia too seriously. His administration sought a naive reset with the Kremlin and for eight years I helped lead the charge against that weakness.

"In 2010, I stood with [Arizona GOP Sens.] John McCain and John Kyl to oppose the new START treaty, a watered-down placeholder for the sort of tough stance we knew was necessary," McConnell added, after mentioning Putin's aggression in Crimea under Obama. "As Vladimir Putin was building up his nuclear arsenal, we even had to push President Obama to commit to deploying capable missile defenses to Europe."

Rangers chairman Dave King has warned Celtic that one title win under Steven Gerrard's management will make their domination of Scottish football collapse like "a pack of cards".

The South Africa-based businessman appointed Gerrard as Rangers new boss on a four-year contract, and believes the former Liverpool captain can close the gap on champions Celtic, who have won seven Scottish Premiership titles in a row.

On Monday King announced plans to launch a new share issue "immediately" with a target of raising funds to help Gerrard put together a squad to challenge Brendan Rodgers' side.

When asked how Rangers might close the gap, King told reporters: "We appoint a manager who can win games, with more resources, and we take one league

A fresh controversy brews around a huge farmland owned by a son of former Union minister Shanti Bhushan . Apparently, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati had gifted the 10,000 square metre plot of land in Noida.

Shanti Bhushan, who is a co-chairman of the recently constituted panel to redraft the Lokpal Bill, has been facing a volley of charges ever since he was entrusted by Anna Hazare-led civil society to jointly head the committee. His lawyer son Prashant Bhushan is also a member to the panel.

A US commission established in the aftermath of the attacks also concluded there was no evidence of official Saudi connivance. However, the White House has been under pressure to declassify a 28-page section of the report that was never published on the grounds of national security.

Maruti Suzuki India plans to close its diesel engine factory in Gurgaon as the biggest setback for the diesel drive in India so far. They would like to convert the existing production line for petrol engines or create an additional one in the factory Manesar. Maruti’s decision highlights the dwindling demand for diesel vehicles in the Indian market. Instead, they want to focus more on gasoline or gas powered vehicles and green hybrid and electric vehicles. As India’s largest automaker, Maruti benefits from the cooperation of the parent company Suzuki and Toyota in the production of hybrid and electric vehicles.

The sales of diesel vehicles in India are expected to fall sharply in April 2020 when the more stringent BS VI emission standard


The following account was written by Lt. Col. George
MacDonnell, the British officer commanding the attack on Ogdensburg. The garrison at
Ogdensburg under Captain Forsyth of the 1st US Rifles had been quite active
harassing British supply boats on the St. Lawrence and raiding a couple of Canadian towns.
MacDonell wished to remove this threat and proposed to visiting Governor Sir George
Prevost on February 21st that an attack be made across the frozen St. Lawrence.
Not wishing to draw attention to vulnerability of his supply line, Prevost turned down
MacDonnells plan but allowed him to make a "demonstration" on the ice in
front of Prescott across from Ogdensburg.

But to MacDonnell the expulsion of Forsyth had become personal. Under a flag of truce,
MacDonell had been sent two days earlier to see Forsyth to complain about the
unmilitary-likeand "predatory" raids on Canadian villages. Forsyth meet him only
with insults. Later MacDonell admitted that he was "bent upon chastising the
personal insolence he had received from the American Commander."

In the ensuing battle a large part of the town of Ogdensburg was damaged
with Forsyth
escaping with part of his riflemen overland to Sackets Harbor. With his sword in the
hands of the enemy, and bullet holes in his hat and coat, Forsyth was determined to take
back Ogdensburg and requested troops from the officer in command at Sackets
Harbor. But none were forthcoming. Instead of blaming the British, local and
military officials placed blame for the attack on Ogdensburg squarely with Forsyth for
"his known zeal for a small partisan warfare." Civil leaders in Ogdensburg
became hostile to any US troops being stationed in their town


again. It was not until
October 1813 did US troops return to the area. Without federal troops around, a number of
the towns citizens took up selling food and supplies to the British troops across
the river, a trade that continued throughout the rest of the war.

"Sir,

In my hasty dispatch of the
22nd Instant I was unable to detail the operations of that day I now have the honour
to acquaint you, for the information of His Excellency The Commander of The Forces, that,
immediately on his departure from this post on that morning, I commenced my arrangement
for the demonstration he had authorized me to make, by drawing in my Night picquets,
&, to gain time,made my disposition for the movement without waiting for the troops
of the line to take off their watchcoats, which I afterwards much regretted when I found
the depth of the snow on the Enemy's shore -- My principal column, on the left, consisted
of about 120of the King's Regiment & 30 of the Newfoundland, with about 230 of the
Militia--

My Right CoIumn was composed of
the Right flank Company of the Glengarry Light Infantry & 70 Militia, was commanded by
Captain Jenkins of the Glengarry Regiment--I advanced with my principal Column in front of
the Enemy's right as did my other Corps on his left, on the signal of a Gun, which I
fired, with a view, principally, to rouse the Enemy, that I might judge from his
appearance of the propriety of an Assault- It


was past seven I began to cross the River--
I could plainly discover with my glass that the Enemy's force would prove no great
obstacle, compared with the advantage attending success, which the confidence I had in the
gallantry of my troops convinced me would be the result.

As I advanced, I conceived
additionalhopes of success & determined on the assault- My advanced Guard consisting
of the Company of the Newfoundland & volunteer light Company of the Militia, moved
quickly on under the command of Staff Adjutant Ridge of the Kings Regiment, &
was followed by the detachment of the Kings Regiment under Captain Eustace, &the
Militia under Colonel Fraser &Captain LeLievre of the Newfoundland Regiment The
Enemy's advanced Battery opened on the flank of this Colomn, which was soon after exposed
to the direct fire of Grape &Cannistershot from a twelve, nine & six pounder --
Here the depth of snow & the commanding position of the Enemy's line of musquetry gave
him a great advantage of fire.Being determined to carry everything with the Bayonet
I pushed on my advance which was gallantly led on by Staff Adjutant Ridge &nobly
supported by Captain Eustace & the detachment of the Kings & well followed
up by the MilitiaThe advance took the Guns in front & the King's rushed up a
parallel street to flank them, &,driving the Enemys Infantry, carried the Guns
one of which was turned upon them -- Giving them in charge of a division of the Militia,
the Colomn pursued the Enemy thro' the main Street leading to the bridge over the Black
River, under a galling fire from the windows, &


from the Guns in the old fort when it
had gained the high bank of this RiverThe men being much fatigued & out of
breath I then halted & lined this height with the King's Regiment, keeping a reserve
of Militia in Column & detaching small parties on my left flank to dislodge the Enemy
from the houses & woods -- My field pieces now came up from the bank of the St
Lawrence, where we had left them sticking in the snow, & were ably directed by Ensign
MacKay of the Glengarry Light Infantry & Ensign Kerr of the Militia & the Royal
& Militia Artillery-- It required some rounds of grape & round shot to silence the
musquetry from the Windows-- I now detached my advance & a Company of Militia to take
a twelvepounder on the eastern Battery near the large Store which they soon effected- In
the interim my right Column was gallantly led on by Captain Jenkins at the head of his own
Company in advance in extended order and supported by his Militia, as a reserve--He kept
pace with my Column & moved on as rapidly as the snow, which had drifted very deep,
the preceding evening, would admit--In their eagerness to reach the Enemy they also lost
breath, but notwithstanding pushed on bravely in face of very heavy fire of five guns,
& when he had gallantly led them on to within charging distance, he fixed bayonets
& pushed forward, but had not proceeded many paces, when his left arm (which he has
since lost) was smashed to pieces with a grape shot & his


to join his Company) & his men gallantly rushed on to the charge covered by a
three pounder under Ensign Kerr, but the men, cheering loudly, prevented my orders being
distinctly heard, to keep the road which lead to the proper declivity to descend to the
River-- This however enabled me to form them in a better manner with the Company of the
Newfoundland & Glengary Militia, under cover of a large building, & again they
pushed on &entered the fort, just as the Enemy had evacuated it on the opposite side
& was retiring to the woods -If Captain Skinner & the Indians had not been
detached in the morning as an escort to His Excellency, I would have employed him in
intercepting the Enemy on his retreat & would unquestionably have captured the whole
Garrison,which retreated that day fourteen miles, leaving Officers & 70 men
prisoners-The Enemy's force consisted of about 500 men including Militia--The action
lasted about One hour & a half--The Gallantry displayed by all ranks under my command
was highly gratifying--The Regular troops including the Royal Artillery maintained the
high character of their respective Corps & their example was nobly followed by the
Militia - I was well supported by Colonel Fraser of the Militia & Lieutenant Colonel
Fraser of the same Corps who joined me towards the close of theaction, & I am much
indebted to Captain LeLievre, for his active superintendence of this force, to which I had
attached him, & for his occasional service at the Artillery - The Officers of the
King's Regiment have my warmest commendation-The name of Ensign Powell, who was wounded


by
a bayonet was omitted in the return I had the honour of forwarding to you--I cannot
sufficiently admire the heroic bravery of Captain Jenkins who speaks in such high terms of
his gallant Company, that I am convinced they would themselves have carried the fort
&Guns with the bayonet if he had not been disabled-- lieutenant Gaugreben of the Royal
Engineers rendered essential service in bringing up the reserve of this Column after his
gun had been disabled by a shot from the Enemy  I must not omit to mention the brave
conduct of the Newfoundland Company who had no Officer of that Regiment with them &
led the advance Guard  Having dislodged the Enemy from houses and woods I detached

At Kuwait Real Estate Investment Consortium, the Chairman/MD Fahad Al-Rajaan has a background in business administration, with a Bachelor of Arts in the subject from American University in Washington, DC. As such, he was able to bring to his career a strong grounding in business and management, allied with commercial awareness and analytical and logical skills. These are the type of skills employers in the financial world will be looking for, along with strong communication skills and – given the emergence of IT as a key workplace tool – good all-round IT capabilities.

When it comes to choosing an actual course online to help boost your finance career, two areas worth looking at are IT programming and maths.

IT is a core aspect of many finance functions, from retail bankingto complex investment management. The marketing, communications and administrative sides of finance run on IT as well, and employers in the sector will require professionally trained IT staff to operate the hardware and software that they utilize for these functions. Leaving specific IT skills to one side, an IT course in a general sense will equip you with the type of logical skills to analyse problems under pressure, essential in the often fast-paced world of finance, where decisions have to be made in seconds.

Maths forms the basis for much of quantitative finance, equipping students with the skills necessary to develop and sustain a career in such areas as investment management, credit risk assessment and investment portfolio structuring. Finance has become increasingly complex with the advent of technology and

Synopsis

Bohemian Rhapsody is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound, their near-implosion as Mercury's lifestyle spirals out of control, and their triumphant reunion on the eve of Live Aid,


where Mercury, facing a life-threatening illness, leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. In the process, cementing the legacy of a band that were always more like a family, and who continue to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day.of the anvil assembly prior to firing of the stapler. Upon firing of the stapler, a knife blade of the stapler engages or becomes embedded into the locking collar, and moves the locking collar to a position which allows the anvil head to tilt upon retraction of the knife blade from the locking collar. If the locking collar sticks to the knife blade upon retraction of the knife blade, the locking collar may return to its position preventing tilting of the anvil head. Thus, the anvil head will not tilt.
In order to effect tilting of the anvil head upon retraction of the knife blade, both the '191 patent and the '581 Publication disclose a plunger and a plunger spring which engage a post on the anvil head to

The NYPD and supporters of Pantaleo have insisted that the maneuver the officer used to subdue Garner on the day of his death was a wrestling headlock, but I’m a member of the martial arts community, and I know that is not true.

The hold applied to Eric Garner by NYPD officer Daniel Pantaleo is called a "rear naked choke" (RNC) in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, judo, mixed martial arts, catch wrestling, sambo, and other submission-oriented martial arts. The exact variation applied to Eric Garner is known as "the pliers choke," "the palm to palm clamp," the "Roman choke," the "short

To promote vaccination, DOHMH communicated with and distributed educational materials to community organizations and elected officials representing large numbers of MSM. To address challenges with provider reimbursement, New York state regulators notified health insurers that all insurance plans must cover the cost of meningococcal vaccination. DOHMH also worked with legislators to help design a bill authorizing New York pharmacists to administer vaccine; this bill was signed into law by the governor in July 2013.

Some small-scale print and electronic publications reported the story during the first few months of the vaccine campaign, but it was not until *The New York Times* ran a comprehensive article on March 21, 2013, more than a month after the last associated case was diagnosed, that the outbreak was featured inmen who have sex with men, New York City, New York, USA, 2010−2013.

computer systems," Mitnick testified.

Mitnick, 36, who walked out of a federal prison in California in January for the first time in nearly five years, boasted to senators that he was able to break into all but one computer system he targeted during a 20-year hacking spree. He detailed how he persuaded employees of companies such as Motorola to divulge passwords, source code and other sensitive information by trickery. He suggested that federal and corporate workers be trained to recognize such techniques, which he called "social engineering," often the first line of attack.

Mitnick, who pleaded guilty on March 16, 1999, to five counts of wire fraud and computer fraud, and was given credit for about four years served, said outside the hearing room Thursday that his probation orders aretoo restrictive. He complained that he's being used as an example because of press reports and popular books, such as Katie Hafner and John Markoff's "Cyberpunk," which made it seem he was taunting the FBI during a three-year manhunt that ended in 1995 with his arrest.

A court order now bars him from using computers or cellular telephones - "anything capable of accessing computer networks," he said in his testimony. He told reporters he is allowed to have a land-based telephone line, but doesn't know if he's legally allowed to use a bank's automatic teller machine or even the Stairmaster at the gym. He's also been barred from consulting to any individuals or groups engaged in "computer-related activity."

As a result of those restrictions, he said, he's unemployed right now.

of an attack.

In questioning Mitnick, committee member Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) probed at his motives. "My motivation was the quest for knowledge, the intellectual challenge, the thrill and in order to escape from reality," Mitnick said. He emphasized that he was never interested in profiting or doing any harm. In fact, Mitnick said that hacking was encouraged in the public school he attended. He once was assigned a project to design a login simulator that would convince a user to give up their password.

"I got an A, of course," he said.

Mitnick also pointed out that some computer pioneers got their start in hacking activities, such as Apple founders Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak.

"There was a fork in the road that went in a different direction," Lieberman observed. "ButButterflies are one of the most popular and easily recognized groups
of insects. Together with moths, they make up one of the major insect
orders or groups—Lepidoptera —which number some 160,000 recognized species
worldwide. There are over 250 species of butterflies in the Sonoran Desert.

Queen butterfly

Lepidoptera comes from Greek words meaning scaled and wing. Butterflies
and moths can easily be distinguished from other insects by their wings,
which are covered with thousands of tiny overlapping scales, much like
tiles on a roof. Each scale is one color, but collectively a butterfly’s
color pattern is produced by a complex mixture of differently colored
scales. Butterflies are usually large, pretty, and diurnal. They are rarely
pests, and consequently are well-liked by humans.

Dispersal and Species Richness

There are a number of factors to account for the rich butterfly diversity
in the Sonoran


Desert. In general, as one approaches the tropics, species
richness increases. Also, a varied topography means a corresponding variety
of microclimates, rainfall patterns, plant distributions, and therefore
butterfly distributions.

The majority of butterfly species in the Sonoran Desert are rather sedentary,
occurring in fairly close proximity to their larval foodplants. But at
times, for reasons not fully understood, butterflies wander. Some species
move at a particular season, some nearly any time. Some species are true
migrants, in that individuals push northward early in the season and southward
later. However, an interesting array of taxa are influx species, entering
the Sonoran Desert yearly from other deserts, thornscrub habitats, and
mountain ranges in northwestern Mexico. The strength, time of onset, and
duration of the summer rainy season are thought to be responsible for
the intensity of this influx phenomenon. Many of these visitorsa butterfly.
The pupa of many butterflies hangs from a silk button called a cremaster.
Other species’ pupae are held upright by a silken girdle. Some are disguised
(cryptic), being generally green or brown and resembling leaves, stems,
or wood. Others are covered in thornlike tubercles or bumps. Just prior
to the emergence of the butterfly, the chrysalis usually changes color.
Once free of the chrysalis, the butterfly pumps fluid from its swollen
body to its shrunken wings. The newly emerged butterfly then lets its
wings dry and harden before taking flight in search of food and a mate.

The Importance of Butterflies

Butterflies are important pollinators. They are also good indicators
of the ecological quality of a habitat, as they are important components
of the food chain, particularly as larvae. Few butterflies are a serious
threat to economically important plants.


In short, butterflies are benign,
aesthetically pleasing, faunal members. In turn, the main threat to butterflies
is the destruction and loss of their habitats. The channelization of riparian
areas, draining of wetlands, lowering of water tables, growth of cities,
and expansion of agriculture all contribute to this habitat loss. Widespread
use of pesticides may also threaten healthy butterfly populations.

The Butterfly Families

Swallowtails (Papilionidae):

Pipevine swallowtail

Swallowtails are mostly tropical and include some of the largest butterflies
in the world. Adults of both sexes have 6 walking legs, take nectar readily,
and often flutter their wings even while perched. One of our region’s
largest butterflies, with a 4 inch (10 cm) wingspread, is the giant swallowtail
(Papilio cresphontes, also called Heraclides cresphantes), a brown and
yellow species commonly encountered in urban areas. Its larvae, which
feed mostly on the leaves of citrus, lookamong the first
spring butterflies, even as early as January. Many emerge in a series
of broods throughout the year. Still others are influx species during
and after the summer monsoons. This family often exhibits mud puddling
behavior wherein dozens of individuals group together on a patch of damp
mud to drink and take in minerals and salts. One of the more showy species,
the southern dogface (Colias cesonia, also called Zeren cesonia), has
a distinctive outline of a poodle on each forewing. A common species,
the cloudless sulphur (Phoebis sennae), exhibits strong sexual dimorphism
in which the males and females have visibly different wing patterns or
coloration. Males of this species are bright, clear, lemon yellow, while
females are off-white with small dark markings. In addition to sexual
dimorphism, some sulphur species, such as the tailed orange (Eurema proterpia),
are


there
are several broods during the year, the best places and times to look
for great blue hairstreaks are wherever and whenever desert broom or seep-willow
(both Baccharis spp.) are in bloom.

Metalmarks (Riodinidae):

This largely tropical family is extremely diverse in appearance and in
species content. Fewer than a dozen species occur in the Sonoran Desert;
most of these having metallic spotting on the ventral (underside) surface
of the wings. Metalmarks have long antennae for their size and usually
perch with their wings opened flat. One species, the Mormon metalmark
(Apodemia mormo), is quite variable from one location to the next, but
all populations are associated with patches of various buckwheat (Eriogonum
species).

Snout Butterflies (Libytheidae):

Snout butterfly

The single species of snout butterfly that occurs in the Sonoran Desert,
the American snout butterfly (Libytheana bachmanii), can have huge population
surges, particularly in theprotection by ingesting
its leaves.

Skippers (Hesperiidae):

This family is named for its rapid, skipping flight. Skippers are small-
to medium-sized, differing from other butterflies in having larger bodies
in proportion to the wings. They generally have broader heads and hooked
antennae that continue past the clubs rather than ending at them. To some
people, skippers resemble moths, being hairier and more robust and generally
lacking the gaudy colors and patterns of the other butterfly families.
But unlike most moths, most skippers are day-flying or crepuscular. Many
skipper larvae feed on grasses. One common garden species, the fiery skipper
(Hylephila phyleus), eats Bermuda grass and is common around desert lawns.
Another common species, the funereal duskywing (Erynnis funeralis), is
mostly dark, with white fringes on the hind wings’ edges. It is regular
both in towns and in desert arroyos, often in close


proximity to woody
legumes, the larval hosts. Several skipper species have long tail-like
projections on the hindwings. The most common of these, the dorantes long-tail
(Urbanus dorantes), is an influx species and is at times abundant in late
summer and fall.

Butterfly or Moth?

Though butterflies and moths appear similar in many respects, there are
some ways to distinguish between them. Generally when a butterfly lands
and rests on a plant it holds its wings vertically, while moths tend to
rest with their wings folded back almost horizontally. Moths have heavy,
furred bodies, whereas the butterflies have more delicate, slender bodies
with little hair. Butterfly antennae are thin and end with a knob at the
tip. Moth antennae are often feathery and without a knob.

Color is not a reliable indicator, as some of the moths, especially the
Saturnids, are beautifully coloredand some butterflies, such as satyrs
and mourning cloaks, have muted coloration. Also, not all moths are night
fliers. Some species, such as the buck moths and the Calleta silk moth,
fly by day. (You may notice the Calleta moth as it feeds on ocotillo leaves
during the summer rainy season. Look for ocotillos stripped of leaves
from the top down.)

Both butterflies and moths lay eggs which hatch into caterpillars. These
caterpillars molt into a pupa, or resting stage. After a period of time—a
few days to a season—the winged adult emerges from the pupal case. Moths
tend to construct cocoons, protective silk coverings around themselves,
before molting into pupas. Butterflies do not encase themselves in cocoons.


the following specific bequest:
"I give and bequeath my 180 shares of Union Pacific Corporation stock and my 124 shares of Deere and Company stock... to Dr. Walter E. Vest, Jr...." (emphasis added)
The will also provided:
"All of the rest, residue and remainder of my estate, real, personal, and mixed, wherever located, I give, devise, and bequeath to the Shriners Hospitals for Crippled Children, a Colorado corporation...."
In her will, the testatrix appointed United Bank as the personal representative of the estate and requested the following:
"I hereby declare it to be my express desire that the special administrator, personal representative and any successor thereof, shall employ either John L. Griffith or Mary C. Griffith ... for legal advice and assistance in probating and carrying out the provisions of this will, theyhaving an intimate knowledge of my affairs, views, and wishes respecting the matters that may arise in the probate of this instrument and the administration of my estate." (emphasis added)
At the time she executed her will, the testatrix actually owned 360 shares of Union Pacific Corporation stock and 248 shares of Deere and Company stock. The additional shares resulted from stock splits that occurred several years before she executed the will.
In August 1986, the testatrix died. In August 1987, United Bank, as personal representative, distributed all of Holmes' stock in Union Pacific Corporation and Deere and Company to Dr. Vest, the specific devisee and advised Shriners Hospitals of the distribution.
In April 1988, Shriners Hospitals demanded one-half of the Union Pacific stock and one-half of the Deere and Company


Deere and Company stock." See Heinneman v. Colorado College, 150 Colo. 515, 374 P.2d 695 (1962). In reality, the testatrix owned 360 shares of Union Pacific stock and 248 shares of Deere and Company stock as a result of stock splits which had occurred before she executed her will. Therefore, the trial court properly found that a latent ambiguity existed and, in accordance with the parties' stipulation, admitted the deposition testimony of the attorney who drafted the will, Mary Griffith.
Griffith, who was also the testatrix' close friend, was one of the persons the testatrix requested that her personal representative employ. She testified that when she drafted the will, the testatrix told her (incorrectly) that she owned 180 shares of Union Pacific stock and 124 shares of Deere andArizonans Reject Medical Malpractice Bill

Interracial and in love

Savion Washington and Lindsey Mann are an engaged couple who say that those wanting to be in an interracial relationship should not worry about being judged by others.

The year of 2017 marked the 50th anniversary of Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court case that allowed interracial couples to legally marry in the United States.

According to the Census Bureau, in 2010, between 10 and 15 percent of opposite-sex marriages in Texas were interracial. Three to 10 percent of marriages in Erath County were between a white person and a Hispanic person (of any race). However, less than one percent of marriages in Erath County were between a white person and a black person.

Even in today’s society, some Americans still do not accept theidea of mixed race relationships. In a texannews.net survey, about 24 percent of students said that their parents do not want them to date outside of their race.

Despite some still seeing an issue with interracial relationships, Washington and Mann say that they believe the race of two people in a relationship simply shouldn’t matter.

Washington and Mann met in a math class at Tarleton during their freshman year. Photo courtesy of Washington’s twitter account.

Each of the lunches was held at a carefully-chosen pan-Asian restaurant. One was for Chinese-Americans, one for Filipinos and one for the general pan-Asian community. Yang's team invited 50 leaders to each and about 30 showed. He notes everyone who did not show was out of town that week or stuck in a meetingEPS, all they had to do was pop in their organization's name and print it out and photocopy it. We're not talking high-end collateral here," notes Yang. "The main thing was to get the invite into the hands of members." (Link to sample creative below.)

Every participating group was added to the show's Web site so surfers could pick the group of their choice to buy a ticket through. The site began to help the Asian American community fundraise for itself.

The five Community nights took place during the preview performances of the show. Then the show formally launched in New York and the critics weighed in.

-> Step 5: Keep the show alive through the winter

Although the show was nominated for three Tony awards, some critics panned it because they


were upset by the fact that the original story line had been replaced.

Now the team had a new goal: Keep the show alive long enough to prove it's worth taking on the road and performing in more cities and internationally.

Starting in early January, traditionally the worst ticket sales time for even hit shows, Yang's team began promoting a series of "Community Celebration Nights."

While his mainstream marketing counterparts had spent their media buying budgets in a frenzy to push awareness when the show first opened in the fall, Yang had held the majority of his budget in reserve for these harder times.

Now he loosened the purse-strings, running targeted campaigns in every Asian American media outlet he could find, as well as offers to the show's email newsletter readers.

A family of three were led to safety by firemen after being trapped by smoke in their home after a suspected arson attack on a neighbour's flat.

Choking smoke from a fierce blaze below their first-floor home forced the pregnant woman, her partner and a five-year-old boy to stay inside while firefighters tackled the incident.

Fire crews from Chopwell, Gateshead and Newcastle were called to the blaze in a ground-floor flat in Fontwell Drive, Bensham, around 5.20pm yesterday. The three were taken to hospital in Gateshead for check-ups.Original Kits ship to United States Domestic Locations Only from MPOWR Fishing's warehouse in Brainerd, Minnesota by UPS Ground

Authorities at a prison in Vietnam's Bien Hoa province are threatening female protesters who seek to appeal the jail sentences they were handed last month for their roles in a rare, large-scale demonstration over two controversial government policies, their lawyer said Tuesday.

The women are among a group of 20 protesters who were sentenced from eight months up to one and a half years in prison on July 30 for disrupting public order in the June 10 protest in southeast Vietnam's Dong Nai province, which official media in Vietnam said had blocked roads and created traffic jams on major highways in the area.

Dang Dinh Manh, the lawyer who represented the 20 defendants in their trial last month at the Bien Hoa City People's Court, told RFA's Vietnamese Service thatduring a visit with her siblings, they cried to me, saying [the prison guards] told them that, but acknowledged that I don't know if it's true.

Vui said her sisters suggested they were told not to appeal, but are planning to do so anyway.

On June 9 and 10, protests rocked major Vietnamese cities including Hanoi and Saigon, also called Ho Chi Minh City, as demonstrators challenged government plans to grant long-term leases for foreign companies operating in special economic zones (SEZs) and the adoption of a controversial cybersecurity law.

The protests prompted clashes with police that saw demonstrators beaten and an unknown number detained.

Calls for probe and release

Manh's claims came a day after London-based rights group Amnesty International called on authorities in Vietnam to launch an independent probe into the


death of a farmer who took part in the protests, amid reports that he was tortured in police custody.

A local rights group has said that Hua Hoang Anh, a 35-year-old farmer from Kien Giang province died after four police officers visited his home in Chau Thanh district on Aug. 2 to question him about his involvement in the protests, citing his wife who claims she returned from making them tea to find him collapsed with some injuries to his neck and belly.

While the group suggested that Anh may have died of hemorrhaging, police in Ken Giang have said the farmer committed suicide. Local authorities reportedly forced Anh's family to bury him the following day.

The claims of intimidation in prison also follow a declaration signed over the weekend byfive local civil society organizations and some 50 individuals calling on the government to immediately release the dozens of people detained and convicted in recent weeks for their part in the protests.

According to the Aug. 4 declaration, a copy of which was recently obtained by RFA, 52 people have been taken into custody by the police since the protests, including the 20 people convicted in Bien Hoa.

We demand the government of Vietnam to immediately release all people who joined the peaceful protest against the SEZ and cybersecurity laws on June 10, the document reads.

Bien Hoa City should release all 20 people who were convicted in the July 30 trial and annul their sentences, return all property belonging to protesters which was confiscated by the police or court, apologize

The U.N.'s top human rights official says there's "little evidence" that Israel made an effort to minimalize casualties during protests by Palestinians earlier this week and is backing calls for an inquiry.

Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein spoke Friday to a special session of the U.N. Human Rights Council called following a deadly crackdown on protesters in Gaza by Israeli forces. Israeli troops firing into Gaza killed nearly 60 Palestinians at mass border protests on Monday.

The session will consider a resolution calling for an "independent, international commission of inquiry."

Zeid said protesters' "actions alone do not appear to constitute the imminent threat to life or deadly injury which could justify the use of lethal force."

Israel and the United States have repeatedly accused the council of anti-Israel bias.


to move into the wall location and maneuver when constructing the wall. Many locations for which retaining walls are constructed are positioned in awkward terrain. Heavy building materials are difficult to move into the location and furthermore are difficult to position when constructing the retaining wall thereby adding additional cost and labor for installation. However, the heavy materials are needed once the wall is constructed to provide stability and security to the structure. Therefore, the easy to install light-weight units used for the construction of a retaining wall, which can be weighted once placed into position thus retaining the block in position and stabilizing the completed retaining wall, would be beneficial to construction of such structures.
As previously mentioned the present invention relates to a retaining wall block thatThe internet is buzzing with outrage over claims the Australian Government has banned the depiction of naked A-cup breasts in films in case it encourages pedophilia. Never let the truth get in the way of a good trending Twitter topic.

The internet has its “outraged” face on over news that the Australian Classification Board plans to refuse classification to films depicting A-cup breasts in case it encourages pedophilia.

The story was kickstarted by a press release on Wednesday from the Australian Sex Party on the censorship of female ejaculation in film, which included the statement:

The Board has also started to ban depictions of small-breasted women in adult publications and films. This is in response to a campaign led by Kids Free 2 B Kids and promoted by Barnaby Joyce and


A University of Queensland student has sought a court order similar to a restraining order against the Chinese Consul-General in Brisbane, Dr Xu Jie, who he claims has endangered him by describing him as an anti-Chinese separatist in a statement published on the Consul-General’s website.

Drew Pavlou, who was last week elected as a student representative to UQ's senate, has made an application under the state's Peace and Good Behaviour Act and is seeking an order against Dr Xu in response to his complaint.

Dr Xu has been summoned to appear in the Queensland Magistrates' Court on November 22, at which point a magistrate may dismiss or grant the order.

According to the summons and accompanying court documentsfiled by Mr Pavlou, he has been identified on Chinese social media and in the Chinese government-owned Global Times, as well as in Chinese-language media in Australia, as a key organiser of a July rally held at the university in support of pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong.


was blown away by that,” Maddon told reporters. “Any 9-year-old seeing this Cubs infield go, I’d like to believe they felt exactly as I felt in 1963.”

Young Nats fans probably feel the same kind of way about Bryce Harper, making his third career All-Star game start and fourth appearance overall in his five MLB seasons. He leads a quartet of Nationals players, including MVP candidate Daniel Murphy, Cy Young candidate Stephen Strasburg and slugging catcher Wilson Ramos, tying Washington with Miami for second-most NL representatives.

Murphy fell 88 votes short of starting at second base. He was beaten out by Chicago’s Ben Zobrist, the Nats’ first choice during the offseason before they “settled” for Murphy. Through Tuesday, the former Mets player merely led the NL in batting average andFanDuel Premier League Matches to Target in Matchweek 17

This five-game slate is the toughest to narrow to two matches since FanDuel began their Premier League contests.

It is only a five-game slate on FanDuel this Saturday, and all the matches come with a level of intrigue. The Premier League games in the slate are largely being contested by teams in the lower half of the table and could be spun into favorable matchups for many.

Three of the five matches are toss ups, and all the matches have an over/under of 2.5 goals. In other words, there could be an argument for players from each match on the slate.

Still, these matches stick out in the small slate that starts at 10:00 a.m. EST Saturday.

Sunderland vs. Watford

The last time these teams


met, the match ended in a 2-2 draw. They will both enter the match off tough loses with 28 goals conceded on the season. Needless to say, both teams will be wanting to win badly, so an open game is expected.

The history favors Sunderland. They have four wins in the last eight league matches. Watford have only won three games in 18 versus the Black Cats. However, this may be a time to throw history out as Sunderland sits at the bottom of the table and could be in the bottom two at Christmas for the third time in the last four years.

Both teams have lost three of their last four matches. Watford have conceded 11 goals in their last three away matches. Meanwhile, Sunderland has given upa league-leading 10 goals in the final 15 minutes of a match. All of this information is a clear sign that both teams must play with desperation.

As always, Jermain Defoe is the danger man for Sunderland. He had success in his last two home matches before the poor showing in midweek action. Defoe will cost $7,800 and is averaging 16.6 FanDuel points per game.

Watford captain Troy Deeney was left out of midweek action as he has been stuck on the verge of a milestone for weeks. Hopefully his head is right now and the Watford team can help him get his 100th goal for the club. Deeney costs $7,100 for Saturday's clash at the Stadium of Light.

He may benefit from the return of Daryl Janmaat, who has battled


United's most important player. Herrera is still reasonably priced at $7,500 and averages over 21 points a game.

If Wayne Rooney makes the lineup, he does have a good history against West Brom. He has been directly involved in 11 goals over his last nine games against West Brom.

The Baggies are not going to go down quietly. Veteran Chris Brunt is thinking about possible European qualifying. Due in part to Brunt's service, they lead the league in headed goals and have scored one more goal than Manchester United on the season. Salomon Rondon helped West Brom move into the lead in that category during midweek action with a hat trick of headed goals. Rondon is West Brom's most expensive player at $7,500.

Unlike Manchester United, West Brom generally convert theirA live cow being transported in the back of a car on the outskirts of Beirut has been filmed by a BBC cameraman.

Obama owns the disaster in Syria in a way that no one else does. Three of his policies intersected to cause the bloodshed, devastation and horrors there.

The Iraq Withdrawal The Arab Spring The Iran Deal

Obama’s Iraq withdrawal turned the country over to Iran and ISIS. The tensions between the Shiite puppet regime in Baghdad (which Obama insisted on backing) and the Sunni population created a cycle of violence that reduced the country to a bloody civil war between Shiite militias and Al Qaeda in Iraq.

The collapse of the multicultural Iraqi army allowed Al Qaeda in Iraq


Hillary Clinton had talked Obama into invading Libya. But he didn’t want any more wars. Especially after Libya.

When some of his advisers urged him to intervene more strongly in Syria, he wavered.

The Nobel Peace Prize winner, who vacationed all over the world, couldn’t actually find anyone except the French to actually support action in Syria. And he was too used to leading from behind to take the lead. The red line had been broken. He slowly crawled all the way up to action. And then ran away while pathetically blaming the British for his own cowardice, double-dealing and broken promises.

The former UK PM would reportedly describe Obama as, one of the “most narcissistic, self-absorbed people”.

Obama avoided the war by humiliating his own Secretary of State and colluding withThree other finalists, Mayumi Kanagawa (USA), Minami Yoshida (Japan) and Nancy Zhou (USA) received a prize of 2000 € each. Also the following special prizes were awarded:

It was a surprising night. The female owl was outside her cavity this evening watching a raccoon who has usurped it! She flew away early, and we had a chance to watch her preen. It was good to have a chance to see her in the bright light.

I haven't been able to spot a band on her this year. This has me puzzled but it could just be hidden by feathers.

Both owls went to the trees they have been harvesting. After about twenty minutes the male went to the other side of the stream. We lost him for a good long while, until she called and he returned. They then both went over to the other side of the stream and we called it a night.The Rest of the Story

Trivia
Trivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.

Inspired by Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story".

President Andrew Jackson had passed away at his Hermitage home. He was very well thought of in his time, so naturally, thousands of mourners came to pay their respects.

In that day and age, social manners were of utmost importance. Few occasions would demand the level of dignity and social grace as a funeral. And surely, no funeral would demand as much respect as that of Andrew Jackson.

Yet despite the solemnity of the proceedings, one mourner dared to upset the service with a string of profanities. The culprit was quickly identified as Andrew Jackson's dear friend, Poll. Old Poll, as


he was often called, entered the parlor where Jackson's body was laid out and immediately let loose a string of obscenities that would have made a seasoned military man blush.

Despite the nature of the event and the high social standards of the time, no man was asked to leave the service, nor was any man removed by force.

Rest assured that anyone who would disrupt such an event with such a blatant disregard for manners would certainly have been promptly ousted, no matter the offender in question.

How can you explain this conundrum?

Hint

Are humans the only ones capable of such obscenities?

Answer

Old Poll was Andrew Jackson's pet parrot. Old Poll could speak in both English and Spanish. When he was brought into the parlor during Jackson's eulogy, the bird began swearingIn commemoration of the Church’s 100-year affiliation with the Boy Scouts of America, an event called “A Century of Honor” will be held October 29, 2013, at 7:00 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time.

NEW YORK -- A 5-year-old Bronx boy died and his 7-year-old sister was hospitalized Wednesday after spending the evening with their father, who was apparently distraught and told police he put poison on their pizza.

Law enforcement sources tell NBC 4 New York that the children's parents had recently split up. The kids were spending the day with him, and just after midnight, he called their mother and told her he was going to kill himself, sources say.

As she headed to the Morris Heights apartment where he was staying with his step-mother, the stepmother called police and said the father had locked himself in the bathroom with his son.

When police and the mother arrived, the boy was unresponsive and the girl was vomiting. The boy was later pronounced deadat Saint Barnabus Hospital. The girl's condition was not immediately known.

More from NBCNewYork.com: MTA Restores G Line Service in Brooklyn and Queens

Police are questioning the father. Sources say he told police he poisoned the children and himself with something on their pizza.

In a separate child death case, police were called to the Boulevard Houses on Linden Boulevard in East New York Tuesday night at about 11:30 p.m. for a report of an unconscious girl. When they arrived, they found the child, Halii McCord, unresponsive. She was taken to Brookdale Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Sources say the boyfriend of the girl's mother is being questioned.

Tigers minor-league report: Bump to Toledo no problem for Zac Houston

By Lynn Henning | The Detroit News

TRIPLE A TOLEDO

Who’s hot …

Dawel Lugo, 2B: He could be the Tigers’ second baseman in 2019. Lugo is only 23, but has been progressing at Toledo, hitting .368 in his last 10 games and .286 on the year. He needs some upgrades, for sure, on the on-base side (.296, four walks) and slugging sphere (.388). But time remains his friend. He is 6-foot, 190 pounds, and bats right-handed. He was part of the cargo the Tigers got last summer when they peddled J.D. Martinez.

Victor Alcantara, RH reliever: One of those gents who probably will be returning to Detroit soon, all because Alcantara in his last 10 games has a 1.10 ERA, with21 strikeouts and three walks in 15.1 innings. Alcantara pitched in six games for the Tigers in 2017 after Detroit got him from the Angels as part of the Cameron Maybin trade.

Paul Voelker, RH reliever: Simply difficult to believe Voelker won’t be migrating to the Tigers at some point this season (September?) or in 2019. He strikes out reams of batters: 247 in 205 innings during his farm seasons with the Tigers. This year for the Mud Hens, he has a 2.90 ERA, a 1.08 WHIP, and a .190 opposing batting average. He was a 10th-round pick in 2014 from Dallas Baptist.

Zac Houston, RH reliever: Another of the bullpen reliables chucking for manager Doug Mientkiewicz’s Toledo corps. Houston was bumped to the Mud Hens after earlier fulfilling duties
