Saipan - A Rescued Infant

Saipan, an island in the Pacific Ocean, was the scene of a vicious battle between Japanese and Allied forces during the Second World War. Civilians, living on the island, were also impacted by the deadly conflict.

Embedded with American forces on Saipan, W. Eugene Smith took this photo in July, 1944. The soldier in the picture - from the 27th Infantry Division - had rescued a dust-covered infant from a cave filled with hundreds of dead bodies.NEHARDEA (NEARDA):

City of Babylonia, situated at or near the junction of the Euphrates with the Nahr Malka; one of the earliest centers of Babylonian Judaism. As the seat of the exilarch it traced its origin back to King Jehoiachin. According to Sherira Gaon (Letter of Sherira Gaon, in Neubauer, "M. J. C." i. 26), Jehoiachin and his coexilarchs built a synagogue at Nehardea, for the foundation of which they used earth and stones which they had brought, in accordance with the words of Ps. cii. 17 (A. V. 16), from Jerusalem (comp. a similar statement in regard to the founding of the Jewish city of Ispahan, in "Monatsschrift," 1873, pp. 129, 181). This was the synagogue called "Shaf we-Yatib," to which there are several references dating from the


third and fourth centuries (R. H. 24b; 'Ab. Zarah 43b; Niddah 13a), and which Abaye asserts (Meg. 29a) was the seat of the Shekinah in Babylonia. The Aaronic portion of the Jewish population of Nehardea was said to be descended from the slaves of Pashur ben Immer, the contemporary of King Jehoiachin (Ḳid. 70b).

There are also other allusions in the Talmud (ib.) casting doubt upon the purity of blood of the Nehardean Jews. The fact that Hyrcanus, the high priest, lived for a time in that city as a captive of the Parthians (Josephus, "Ant." xv. 1, § 2) may explain the circumstance that as late as the third century certain of its inhabitants traced their descent back to the Hasmoneans. The importance of the city during theTemple taxes were kept there until the stated days for forwarding them to Jerusalem." Nehardea was the native city of the two brothers Anilai and Asinai, who in the first third of the first century C.E. founded a robber-state on the Euphrates, and caused much trouble to the Babylonian Jews. After the destruction of Jerusalem, Nehardea is first mentioned in connection with R. Akiba's sojourn there (Yeb., end). From the post-Hadrianic tannaitic period there is the anecdote referring to the debt which Aḥai b. Josiah had to collect at Nehardea (Giṭ. 14b; Bacher, "Ag. Tan." ii. 385).

Nehardea emerges clearly into the light of history at the end of the tannaitic period. Shela's school was then prominent, and served to pave the way for the activity of the Babylonian


academies. Samuel, whose father, Abba b. Abba, was an authority in Nehardea, established the reputation of its academy, while Rab, who likewise taught there for a time, made Sura, situated on the Euphrates about twenty parasangs from Nehardea, the seat of an academy destined to achieve a still greater reputation. The history of Nehardea is summed up in that of Samuel's activity (see Samuel b. Abba). Soon after his death (254) it was destroyed by Papa b. Neser (Odenathus), in 259; and its place as seat of the second academy was taken by Pumbedita.

Nehardea, however, soon regained its importance; for the eminent Naḥman b. Jacob dwelt there. There are several references to his activity (see Ḳid. 70a; B. B. 153a; Ket. 97a; Meg. 27b). Raba tells of awalk which he took with Naḥman through the "Shoemaker street," or, according to another version, through the "Scholars' street" (Ḥul. 48b). Certain gates of Nehardea, which even in the time of Samuel were so far covered with earth that they could not be closed, were uncovered by Naḥman ('Er. 6b). Two sentences in which Naḥman designates Nehardea as "Babel" have been handed down (B. Ḳ. 83a; B. B. 145a). Sheshet also dwelt there temporarily (Ned. 78a). According to a statement dating from the fourth century, an amora heard in Nehardea certain tannaitic sentences which had until then been unknown to scholars (Shab. 145b; Niddah 21a). Nehardea always remained the residence of a certain number of learned men, some of whom belonged to the school of Maḥuza, which was


of considerable prominence at that time, and some to that of Pumbedita. About the middle of the fourth century the famous scholar Ḥama was living at Nehardea; the maxim "By the 'amoraim of Nehardea' Ḥama is meant" (Sanh. 17a) became a canon in the Babylonian schools.

Toward the end of the fourth and at the beginning of the fifth century Nehardea again became a center of Babylonian Judaism through Amemar's activity, though this was overshadowed by that of Ashi, the director of the Academy of Sura. It was Ashi who had the seat of the exilarchate, which belonged as an ancient privilege to Nehardea, transferred to Sura (Letter of Sherira Gaon, l.c. i. 32). Amemar attempted in Nehardea to introduce the recitation of the Decalogue into the daily prayerA man was found guilty of second-degree murder on Wednesday for the death in 2017 of a worker he had hired to dig tunnels for a secret nuclear bunker under his house in Maryland.

After more than a day of deliberation, a jury in Montgomery County found that the man, Daniel L. Beckwitt, 27, was responsible for the death of the worker, Askia Khafra, 21, who had been carving out hundreds of feet of passageways under Mr. Beckwitt’s home in Bethesda, Md., northwest of Washington.

A fire broke out during the work, and when firefighters arrived, they discovered Mr. Khafra’s “naked, charred body” in the basement, and a hole in the floor that dropped about 20 feet down and fanned out into tunnels spanning about 200 feet underground, according to


Top Gear presenter Jeremy Clarkson has described the people who go to the filming of the hit BBC2 show as "oafs" and admitted flouting health and safety rules.

Clarkson, appearing at the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival yesterday alongside executive producer Andy Wilman, also said women were often pushed to the front of the audience so they were seen behind the presenters.

"We get 500 people coming to the show each week and most of them are oafs," he said. "Who would you rather have in our shots?"

But he said it would be a "disaster" to have a female presenter on the show. "I think a girl would be a disaster, seeing the chemistry we have now," he said. "You bring a girl in and you start taking the pissThe time has come to clear the table regarding Iceland's application to join the European Union Bjarni Benediktsson, Minister of Finance and chairman of the Independence Party, said in his opening speech yesterday at a party's conference. He stressed that the EU accession talks had come to an end and that EU membership was opposed by both the two government parties, the Independence Party and the Progressive Party, and the majority of the parliament.

Benediktsson had previously, both before the general elections in May 2013 and afterwards, voiced his support for holding a referendum on whether to continue the EU accession talks or not being himself opposed to the idea of joining the bloc. Later on he said such referendum would not take place as the necessary condition was

That kind of rhetoric was all the rage until a certain Narendra Damodardas Modi came on to the national political scene. He announced proudly that he had grown up selling tea at his father's stall near a railway station, and told us what an enormous tribute it was to Indian democracy that a simple 'chaiwallah' could aspire to become the Prime Minister of the nation. Of course, he was completely right. And from the moment he made this statement, the right-wing attacks on the 'waitress/au pair' avatar of Sonia Gandhi began to die down.

But then, it was the turn of the Congress to get into the act. The charge was led by the redoubtable Mani Shankarthings that I couldn't really understand.
One of the things about Driscoll's discussion about spiritual warfare was taking as given his accurate perception of events. For instance, for those who may remember the story Driscoll recounted of somehow continually running across the same black hoodied guy while driving Grace home in her car, Driscoll's story presumes a number of details that are impossible to be sure about. Given how an incident with a knife-wielder turned into a man with a machete charging the stage it's not entirely certain Driscoll was driving 30 miles an hour in his story noted at the first part of this series just because Driscoll said so. It's also not certain the Driscoll's weren't driving in circles rather than a straight line. It's not even


who had experienced FOP, and found lesions in three regions of their brains: the insular cortex, frontoparietal cortex, and temporoparietal cortex. These areas deal with self-awareness, movement, and spatial positioning, suggesting that when sensorimotor signals get confused, people can feel presences that aren’t there.Further supporting this argument was the next experiment, in which the researchers had a robot give confusing sensorimotor signals to healthy people with no neurological disorders, and were able to create FOP on command. Participants controlled the robot by moving a stick in front of them, which caused a metal arm behind them to touch them on the back in the same pattern, as seen in the video below.

Since Driscoll and company went to the trouble to present so much of Driscoll's 2008 spiritual warfarereal albeit a little bit naive about some aspects of spiritual warfare.

In other words I can see how the people who have had no day to day dealings face to face with MD might have a different take on him than people who have worked with him or under him.

Oh no, just all of the first part 65min. Started on the second part which was quite different. MD does change his tone of delivery from day to day. The second session was irritating.

The talk about his marriage counseling in the second part made me cringe in horror. Who would send anyone to him for marriage counseling? It's no wonder he had guys after him if he treated them the way he describes.

The defending champions made a steady start with Warner and Shikhar Dhawan (23; 22b 4x4; 0x6) stiching to together a 46-run stand off 40 deliveries.

But once the spinners came to the party, both the openers departed in quick succession. First, Dhawan holed out at long on to Yusuf Pathan who in the end conceded just just two runs in his first over.

Soon, Warner -- not a great player of spin -- fell to the guile of chinaman Kuldeep Yadav.

The southpaw could not read him from the first ball and finally picked out Chris Woakes at long off for an easy catch less than one month after falling to the same bowler while playing for Australia against India in the fourth Test at Dharamsala.

After the Powerplay, KKR were in a spot of bother at 40/2 with Pandey joining Uthappa in the middle.

Uthappa upped the ante after the break, hitting Moises Henriques and Vipul Sharma -- both being inducted in the first XI in place of Mustafizur Rahman and Vijay Shankar -- for two and a six respectively.

The clean-hitting right-hander from Karnataka brought up his half-century, sweeping Rashid to deep midwicket where Shikhar Dhawan misjudged a difficult catch attempt. Together with Pandey, the duo who play their domestic cricket together, tore apart Sunrisers.

Uthappa, in the process, became the third batsman after Gambhir and Yusuf Pathan to score 1500 runs for KKR.

KKR now have six points from four outings, while Sunrisers have four in their kitty from the same number of matches.


apostles, his house, his kitchen, his crockery, are not very interesting. What do they care about the cathedral of Toledo, with its five doors, its seven centuries, its refreshing cloisters, its silver choir and its enchanting Mozarab chapel? What do they care about the Inn of Blood, where Cervantes was to write The Illustrious Kitchen Maid...? What do they care about the Palace of Carlos V, all of its stone and its distinguished coffered ceiling? The celebrated Castle of San Servando on the other side of the ravine might as well disappear in broad daylight. The tombs of the heroes and cardinals of the cathedral might as well disappear.

A stone meets a destiny identical to that of a mollusk, and it goes before or after a man, but not at the same time as he. If one could depict the evolution of life, it would be represented by a line of beings and things, with one at the end. In abstract terrain, beings and things unfold with an apparent myriad character. But this is not substantive reality. Beneath the illusory simultaneity of things and beings, reality, at the end, is solely a succession in the movement of the universe. The masses are more a parade than a crowd.

He, who worked this stone, however, delved deeper and chose the bat, this zoological binomial––between mammal and bird––that ethical image––between Lucifer and angel––who embodies the spirit of Baudelaire so well. And this, because the author of The Flowers of Evil was not diabolical, in the Catholic sense of the word, but diabolical in a lay and simply human sense, a natural coefficient of rebellion and innocence. Rebellion is not possible without innocence. Only children and angels rebel. Malice never rebels. An old man can only become spiteful and grow bitter. Hence, Voltaire. Rebellion is the fruit of an innocent spirit. And the cat carries malice in each of its paws. On the other hand, the bat––that airborne mouse of the mausoleums, that hybrid specimen of thecornices––has a knack for height and the shadows. It is a native of the kingdom of darkness and also a dweller of the cupolas. Due to its dual nature of flight and darkness, it possesses wisdom in shadows and, as in heroic acts, performs the upward fall.

COMMENTARY:

After publishing two major poetry collections, The Black Heralds (1918) & Trilce (1922), as well as the exceptional & under-celebrated book of prose, Scales (1923), César Vallejo headed for Europe, where he would immerse himself in the world of journalism. His three trips to an interwar Soviet Union, his innumerable personal interviews with a broad demographic, his more than two hundred articles (ranging from sports to theater, from archeology to modern marvels, from labor issues to judicial proceedings)—all this is in concert


with his eventual socialist turn. Against Professional Secrets, written during his early years in Europe, is the product of Vallejo’s search for an integral poetics. The schools that were then flourishing in Europe & being imported to Latin America, for him, proved problematic in their search for social change by way of forming exclusive oppositional groups, open only to initiates.

Against Professional Secrets is indeed a critique (of what Vallejo saw as a pose in the European schools & as insincerity in Latin American poetry); yet it is also a proposal, & this I think is what makes his curious “book of thoughts” so compelling. Readers, who revere his indigenism in The Black Heralds, gawk at his experimentalism in Trilce, & hear his resounding call for solidarity in Poemasshow that, by including himself within the mark of his own critique, his proposal is one of an integral poetics instead of the conventional oppositional polemics.

With 130 passengers on board, it was bound from the southern tip of India to Dubai across the ocean. And despite the audible and obvious collision, the pilot apparently saw no reason not to continue on.

The jet not only clobbered the top of a five-foot perimeter wall but also destroyed a small landing guide tower as it climbed out of Tiruchirappalli International Airport in Tamil Nadu, India, shortly after midnight, the Times of India reported.

An Air India pilot flew a Boeing 737 through a brick wall Friday. Incredibly, that marked the beginning of its journey and not the end.

‘‘We informed the pilot about the hit,’’ the airport director told the IANS news service. ‘‘The pilot said nothing was wrong with the plane as the systems were functioning normally.Ebola outbreak: Mali on alert Published duration 4 April 2014

Mali is on alert over the deadly Ebola virus after three suspected cases were reported near the border with Guinea, where 86 people have died.

A BBC correspondent says there are tight controls on people entering the capital, Bamako, from the border area.

He says thermal-imaging cameras are screening passengers at the airport in case they have a fever.

The virus, which is spread by close contact and kills 25%- 90% of its victims, has already spread to Liberia.

After stunning the league by winning the NFC East last season, can Kirk Cousins and the Redskins win back-to-back division titles for the first time in 32 years?

By Greg DePalma, PSN Executive Producer

Washington Redskins (9-7)

SB Futures: 40-1

FORMER

After winning just seven games combined over the previous two seasons, the Washington Redskins took advantage of Tony Romo’s injury and an overall down year in the division to shock everyone by winning the NFC East with a mere nine wins.

When they entered Week 14 at 5-7 there was no reason to believe this would be the end result. But QB Kirk Cousins saved his best for last and guided the Redskins to four consecutive wins by completing 89 of 120 passes (74%) for 1160 yards (290 per game) and 12 TDs.

CousinsKirk Cousins and the offense will do anything but improve on their 17th-rated unit with every key player back including a healthier DeSean Jackson and several young dynamic receivers in the fold.

While first-round pick Josh Doctson gets all the press, second-year WR Jamison Crowder should be the player to keep an eye on. With 59 receptions Crowder broke Hall of Fame WR Art Monk’s team rookie record and ultimately became a big part of the offense by providing Cousins with another receiver he could count on to move the chains.

In order to really turn-up the offense Head Coach Jay Gruden is relying on second-year thumper Matt Jones and speed-back Chris Thompson to carry the load in the backfield now that veteran Alfred Morris is in Dallas.

BRUSSELS -- Belgium manager Roberto Martinez has admired Javier Hernandez's career from afar and was even keen to bring the Mexico striker to Everton when he was in charge of the Premier League team.

Martinez heaped praise on the 29-year-old West Ham player, who he called a "pure winner," in an interview with ESPN FC on Wednesday and talked about Mexican football ahead of Belgium's match against El Tri on Friday.

"Yes, we've always followed him very closely because he's a player that surprised us a lot with the way he adapted at Manchester United and the way he finishes moves," said Martinez.

"He's a player with so much intelligence with his movement. It was never possible [to sign him], but yes he's been one of the players that we've followedclosely."

Hernandez is the only Mexican player to really make an impact in the Premier League in his time at Manchester United and now West Ham and Martinez believes that is partly due to his position on the pitch, as well as his mentality.

"I think it isn't only difficult for Mexican players, the Premier League is difficult for all foreign players," related Martinez. "It depends a little on the environment the player finds himself in; whether they are in a club with more South American or Latin football characteristics, or more physical [teams], which is little bit more distinct.

"I think the great quality of Javier Hernandez is that he's exceptional in the penalty area. In the box is one of the zones in which there is least difference between

influence and placed him in the backseat of his patrol vehicle. Upon
entering the patrol vehicle, Devorce fell asleep and began to snore. Devorce
was arrested at approximately 8:49 am however, his blood was not drawn
until 11:11 am. At the time Devorce’s blood was drawn, approximately two
hours after his arrest, he had a BAC of .191, more than twice the legal limit.3

the vehicle and had driven the vehicle into the El Pollo Loco parking lot.
However, on cross examination, Devorce testifiedsustainability issues will be investigated by the Earthducation team while they are in the field and throughout Expedition 2 including oil exploration, alternative energy development (offshore wind farms, hydropower), toxic pollutants, sustainable fishing, schooling challenges in small remote communities, and the quest to sustain culture, language, and land and water rights in the indigenous Sami communities.

ITINERARY

Expedition 2 will launch August 23, 2011, when the team leaves Minnesota for Tromsø, the largest city north of the Arctic Circle and a hub of Arctic climate and environmental research. From Tromsø, we will make trips north into the majestic Lyngen Alps, and then south across Senja Island to Gryllefjord. From Gryllefjord, we will board a ferry west across the Norwegian Sea to Andenes in the Vesterålen islands, a jumping off point


in the Tysfjord district, to visit Árran, a Lule Sami cultural and education center. Árran houses a small museum, a Sami radio station, some members of the Sami Parliament, and a Sami kindergarten, along with videoconferencing facilities from which staff at the center provide Lule Sami language distance education programs to high school students. The team will also visit the school in Drag, which is unique in that it merges Sami and Norwegian language and culture. From Drag, the team will head back to Tromsø, passing by Stetind, the national mountain of Norway.

PREPARATION

From the new Learning Technologies Media Lab at the University of Minnesota, the entire Earthducation team has been working around the clock for months to make sure everything is in order for the expedition team tovisit Norway.

This past June, Jeni, a rockstar PhD student in Learning Technologies who works tirelessly on Earthducation, grabbed her backpack and tent for a pre-expedition trip to Norway to help research current environmental and education issues, establish local contacts, and scout out route possibilities and other logistics for the team. Jeni had a family connection to this region and volunteered to go on this scouting mission. Her grandfather was born in Mo I Rana, a small city in Nordland county, and immigrated to the U.S. with his family when he was a child. Jeni’s great grandfather was born in Nesna, then a small fishing village on the mainland in Nordland, and before that her family came from the Lofotens.

artist Pepperell ([@R70]) characterized his aesthetic experience as a moment in which his "usual conceptual grip on the world failed". This was accompanied by mild anxiety and "active struggle to make sense of what \[he\] was seeing". Artists use the compulsive interpretative (predictive) mode of the visual system to leave out parts of, or blatantly contradict, the suggested content of their works.

Pelowski and Akiba ([@R69]) similarly highlight disruptions and breaches as vehicles for the kinds of self-transformation described in accounts of rich aesthetic experiences. When artworks forcefully challenge the conceptual classifications and personal self-understandings of the viewer, they can lead him or her to question, change, or expand these, with possible existential ramifications. This is a precarious balance to strike because the viewer might prematurely break off perception.proceedings and evidence, on May 18, 1956 appellees leased the premises to one William Campbell for two years from June 1, 1956; the lease contained the following provision:

Caroline Murphy was 27 when she died in a car accident on the 20th December 2007. She was helped many many women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex condition relating to ago out, to meet me, for us to fall in love, and to end up getting married. Caroline helped women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) loose weight, and conceive, again a tribute to her commitment.

Sitting through a funeral and looking at a church with standing room only, full to capacity of people that she helped, and improved the lives of is a testament to her, and hopefully some form of comfort for her family. Caroline also published a book, thats was published just after her death “Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) The Facts” along with Mohgah Elsheikh, her book aims to help people better understand PCOS and manage the condition. The book comprises concise chapters offering practical advice on the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of PCOS. The book


also includes a useful section dedicated to weight management as well as a resource section including GI and calorie tables, and a list of helpful websites.

It is sad to have to say farewell to someone so young, with such a future, and ability to positively help others.. but as Michelle said about Caroline, she changed my life, hopefully she will continue to do so, even though she is gone.

We’d seen the documentary on the discovery channel along time before christmas about the Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibition as it left New York, and headed for the UK. It was a great documentary on how huge the setup and administration of the exhibition was, and also gave a great insight what was actually on display.

I’vealways loved myths, legends, and in particular ancient Egypt. The name of my blog, Naquada is not only a reference to the hit science fiction series Stargate, but it’s also a reference to one of the most ancient cities of Egypt, Naqada. So theres a bit of deep routed interest in the Egyptian side of things.

When the British archaeologist Howard Carter uncovered the remarkably preserved tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922, he created a worldwide sensation. The last time any of the Tutankhamun artifacts toured the world, it was 1977, and the term blockbuster exhibition was born.

Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, the new exhibition, offers visitors a chance to see new treasures and to enter the world that gives them meaning. It covers 250 years that


in Ancient Egypt, and follows into the traditional religious beliefs in gallery 3, and the radical readjustments of these by Akhenaten in gallery 4. Gallery 5 covers the Egyptian beliefs of death, burial and the afterlife and how important this was at the time. Gallery 6 starts to move into the actual tomb and life of Tutankhamun, since up to this point the exhibition has, as the title suggests, been around the golden age of the pharaohs, including Tutankhamun. Gallery 7 starts to explain about Tutankhamun himself, and his role at the young king of Egypt, moving through galleries 8,9 and 10 which focus in more depth on the boy kings life, death and burial. Gallery 11 concentrates on the CT and MRI scans that were done onof Art in 2008, and remember, Tutankhamuns touring life if pretty much coming to an end, and the only way you’ll get to see it again is by going to Egypt.

So 2007 was yet another year in a few year period of huge change, excitement, and positivity for me. The start of 2007 seems just yesterday, and looking back at my post from New Year 2007 life’s been just as exciting and fulfilling the last year as well.

Yet her memories of this day are of a different fight some 300 kilometres away in Brittany, where she was a member of the French Resistance.

As France prepares to commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day, all eyes will be turned towards Normandy. For many, it was the scene of one of the greatest seaborne invasions in history, during which tens of thousands of American, British, Canadian and French soldiers were deployed to the Juno, Omaha and Sword beaches.

Codenamed “Operation Overlord”, the battle to retake German-occupied territory, however, did not unfold only in Normandy. The same day, Resistance fighters in Brittany also launched an uprising.

At 94-years-old, Trégouët (née Perret) is one


of the last remaining survivors of this nearly forgotten chapter in history. Yet she still remembers the events of that day in perfect detail.

“On June 6, people learned about the landings from British radio. News like that spreads quickly,” she recalled. “I was at my uncle’s house. He still had some champagne, so he uncorked a bottle.”

The festive mood soon gave way as the pair sprung to action against the Germans in their own region.

‘I was eager to join the Resistance’

Trégouët and her uncle, Ange Mounier, a local mover, had joined the Resistance many months before. The young woman gathered intelligence for the network. As a teacher at the Sacré-Coeur High School in the German-occupied town of Ploërmel, she was in an ideal position to observe troop movements.

“Iwas recruited at the end of 1943. I was eager to join the Resistance. My family couldn’t stand to see the Germans. We wanted only one thing, and that was to see them leave,” Trégouët said.

On June 5, 1944 – a day before D-Day – a coded message was broadcast on the BBC: “It is hot in Suez”. These few words unleashed an all-out assault on the Germans. In the Morbihan area, where Ploërmel is situated, Resistance fighters knew they needed to regroup before taking action.

The local head of the French Forces of the Interior (Les Forces françaises de l'intérieur or FFI) Resistance group, Colonel Morice, gave orders to meet at La Nouette farm in the nearby village of Saint-Marcel, which had already served for the last several


months as a drop site for parachute operations.

That same night, Special Air Service (SAS) parachutists from the General Charles de Gaulle’s Free France (France Libre) landed in Morbihan. They had been given orders to incite guerilla warfare and sabotage German forces in an effort to slow their progress towards Normandy.

‘Fear doesn’t exist in those conditions’

Trégouët was on the ground to greet the SAS parachutists when they landed. She had joined Resistance fighters in Saint-Marcel on June 6, 1944. The energy in the air was palpable.

“People were arriving from all over at all hours of the day,” she recalled. “I started by cooking for them. Weto seek refuge in a nearby town.

It was not the last fighting the young woman would see before the end of the war. She later returned to the Ploërmel area, where she continued to work for the Resistance. After another brush with the Germans, she narrowly escaped arrest again by running into a field. Her uncle, sadly, was not as fortunate. On August 4, Mounier was killed in fighting between the FFI and German soldiers while attempting to come to the aid of a comrade-in-arms.

“On the very same day Ploërmel was liberated, if you can believe it,” said Trégouët, who has never fully recovered from her uncle’s death.

‘We cannot do without the past’

Although still in mourning, Trégouët decided to fight on. Instead of resuming her teaching position after

Prior to consulting with Dr. Hellman, the patient had been under the care of several other physicians. In June, 1982, the patient sued these other physicians and their associated institutions (the malpractice defendants) for malpractice, alleging that they had failed to diagnose and treat her condition.

It is of the world-wide concern that as a result of rapid population increase, economical scale-up of developed countries, the industrialization of developing countries, the modernization of livelihood, and the rise of living standards, the consumption of food and energy resources is acceleratively increasing, and more environmental disruption occurs on the global scale. For the sustainable development in harmony with the environment, the widespread use of solar power generation and clean energy is desirable. Active research works have been made in this field.

Raul Labrador sparked outrage from his audience and online after saying "nobody dies" for lack of health care access in a town hall Friday night at Lewis-Clark State College in Lewiston, Idaho.

Labrador made the comments the day after the U.S. House passed a GOP-led health care bill repealing and replacing chunks of Obamacare. Labrador, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, was responding to an audience member who expressed concern about how the bill would affect Medicaid recipients.

"You are mandating people on Medicaid accept dying. You are making a mandate that will kill people," the audience member said, before being drowned out by Labrador's response.

"No one wants anybody to die," Labrador said. "You know, that line is so


indefensible. Nobody dies because they don't have access to health care."

The line immediately drew audible outrage from the crowd, as well as ire from social media users.

Labrador was similarly booed for a comment he made last month that health care isn't a "basic human right."

Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was fiercely criticized for a similar comment he made in 2012.

"We don't have people that become ill, who die in their apartment because they don't have insurance," the former Massachusetts governor told editors of the Columbus Dispatch.

It's unclear how many people would lose health insurance under the current version of GOP plan, which has yet to be scored by the Congressional Budget Office.

But it was also considered something of a technological, perhaps even artistic, marvel. To understand just how much of one those early lawns were, you have to put yourself, briefly, in a pair of 17th-century shoes.

TORONTO - Like everybody else in the NBA, the Raptors could have had the accidental superstar, Jeremy Lin.

The difference between the Raps and all the other teams that missed out on their own version of Lin-sanity is they were forever close, forever knocking on the door, interested in Lin. Just not interested enough.

Bryan Colangelo liked Lin from the day he first saw him in a pre-draft workout in 2010. “We knew one thing about him after bringing him in,” said Colangelo. “We knew he was one tough kid.

“He took one of the hardest hits I’ve ever seen on a court and one of the toughest falls. He got hit from behind, crashed to the floor, eventually gotor so ago. Earlier this NBA season, with the New York Knicks in complete disarray and relationships rather friendly between Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni, interim general manager Glen Grunwald, and Colangelo, there had been some serious talk about a deal for one of the Raptors’ point guards. No one will say who approached whom about what, but if you play the elimination game, it was probably the veteran Anthony Carter, who was supposed to be heading to New York.

The Knicks thought they needed somebody, anybody to help and Carter, with 12 seasons of work behind him, was an inexpensive and experienced answer.

The situation got so bad for the Knicks that D’Antoni was actually telling people around the league that he had no choice, he was running out of

offending you, or acting in a way he feels in inappropriate and embarrassing.

Modesty

Public discretion continues briefly in the bedroom. "I came
out of the bathroom, and my date was already under the sheets,"
recalls Mike, a gay American visitor to Bangkok. "I peeled off
my shorts, got in with Chai  and discovered he was still wearing
his t-shirt and underwear! I thought he must have lost interest somewhere
along the line."

No  Chai was just being Thai. "A few kisses, a little
cuddling, and that underwear was quickly gone. He turned out to be
a real acrobat! We were on the floor, on the dresser, in positions
I'd only dreamed of. There wasn't an inhibited bone in his body!"

Public nudity is verboten inas katoeys, or ladyboys. Drag shows are popular at
gay clubs, and also in many establishments catering largely to a straight
clientele.

For Thais themselves

While Thais do not, by and large, make moral judgments about being
gay, there remains a strong pressure to marry and have a family. Since
they aren't into labeling themselves, it's common for Thai men to
have predominantly same-sex relationships while in their twenties,
then to marry and have kids, without feeling like they've switched
from gay to straight.

An increasing number of Thai men do identify as gay. Frequently,
just as in the U.S., they'll leave their hometown to get breathing
room. Those in the plains and hills of the north and northeast generally
move to Bangkok or Chiang-Mai. Those in Bangkok may go abroad for
a few years.

that a
certain system may be built up from premises that are undoubted, is merely
a matter of intellect. One man may have a head to follow the steps and
another not, but conscience has no part in the matter.

It was distinctive of the Son of Man that His Gospel was to be preached to
the poor; and a system which addressed only minds capable of clear
reasoning, could not be suited to all mankind; in fact, it would
necessarily set up a Hierarchy of intellectual culture. So our Lord did
not speak to the understandings but to the hearts of His hearers. He dealt
with His disciples on the supposition, that there was in them a germ which
would respond to the quickening influences of His teaching, and grow into
a capacity for eternal life. Just ashas been always revealing Himself in one way or another. But
the revelation of every age must be suited to the character of that age.
Man must be educated up to it, or he cannot receive it. Our Lord tells his
disciples "I have yet many things to say unto you but ye cannot bear them
now."(19) Later generations are taught in this same way. The events
related in the Acts, and the labours which came upon the Apostles fitted
them by degrees for fresh revelations. If our Lord had declared to St
Peter when he first joined him in Galilee that the Gentiles should have as
full a share in Him and in the Kingdom as he would have; might not he too
have turned away? Or if, as is likely, he had been personally drawn


a range of mountains, all,
when seen from the valley, appearing much of a height, one is found to
vastly out-top the rest when we mount the opposite hill-side.

We may suppose that some process like this was going on in the minds of
Peter and Andrew and James and John during that summer spent in their
fishers' work by the Sea of Galilee. Our Lord's image would, all the more,
be kept alive in their minds because when they chanced to meet their talk
would be of Him; and their Master's form would seem to rise before them
when they sat beside one another, with their boats drawn up on the beach.
We need not suppose that they saw into their Master's plans, far less into
His nature; we do not know that they had heard _frommore; and
thereupon without a word, wearied and out of heart as he may be supposed
to have been by a night of bootless labour, he does what he is told. It is
enough for Simon to know that his Master wishes him to "Put out into the
deep and let down his nets for a draught."(144) His cheerful compliance
shews a happy disposition and a loyal nature; for if there had been a
grain of peevishness or selfishness in him, it would have been likely to
be uppermost then.

In the last chapter, we saw our Lord exploring the characters of classes
of men. His eye is now turned on individuals; He is peering down into His
disciples' hearts, taking them unawares, when their every day selves lie
uppermost, putting them, by chance as it were, through some


would have caused utter bewilderment if He had
entered on such a matter at all." The truth may be gathered by observing
His practice. He never states abstract principles, but He acts as He deems
fit and leaves us to infer His views by marking what He does. He never
contests the rules about the Sabbath, but He observes them only in His own
way. He does not tell the Jews that their Law is not traced by the finger
of God, but He amends and criticizes its provisions as though they were of
man.

Let us suppose, for a moment--not of course that He had cried down the Law
like one who exulted in finding a flaw--but that He had attempted to put
into men's heads views about it which their minds had not yet shaped
themselves towould
spread over the earth and affect all future times, while our Lord could
Himself touch but a single generation in a single spot. Those, however,
who heard Him, carried to their homes a memory to last their lives; among
them His Personality survived. If, afterwards, troubled questions arose
about Him they would put them by, feeling that they had drunk at the
source before the stream had got sullied on its way.

When our Lord came into villages where He was known, people crowded to him
from all sides, and the new delight of communion with God--the assurance
that the whisper which told them that God cared for them was a true
voice--beamed from the hearers' faces and gladdened the Master's soul.

It was during this active ministry of our Lord, that the choice of the
Apostles was made


of the Apostles. More hands were wanted for ministering to
the multitude, and it was desirable that some should be set apart for the
work. But our Lord's great earnestness in the matter points, as I have
just said,(159) to something more than this, as though this calling of the
Twelve was of vital concern for the great work that was being done for the
world.

It would only have bewildered the disciples if our Lord had explained to
them the meaning and motive of the commissioning of the Twelve. They could
not be told that Christ's Kingdom on earth was being vested in the Twelve
as an undying body in order that it might not be shattered by His death.
They could not yet be told of the coming Resurrection, or that they were
being trained to beartheir borders."(197)

It would be hard upon this people to say that they counted the deliverance
of their brother a less matter than the loss of their swine; they were
terror-stricken at the display of superhuman power, and they wished to be
rid of their cause of fear.

In the above verse we find the first instance of indifference or aversion
among those to whom our Lord went.

The schooling of the Apostles leads them steadily on; step by step they
advance into the rougher ground of actual life, and one such step is noted
here.

It was well, as I have said, that a glow of success should at starting
rest upon their path, but they could never grow into hardy wayfarers if
all the ways were smooth and all the weather bright; there were in them
many qualities, good


this mission
should have announced Jesus as the Messiah: they could not have been
warned against doing so, because to warn them specially would have been to
suggest the notion of that which was to be avoided. A similar circumstance
may have been one cause of the fervent thanks which our Lord renders to
His Father on the return of the seventy.(210)

How long this journey of the Apostles lasted we do not know; the
exigencies of harmonists have led some of them to reduce it to a day or
two, but I should suppose it to have occupied at least a week. Neither do
we know in what districts the journeys took place; but that the Twelve
started from the neighbourhood of Nazareth in the spring of A.D. 29, and
the seventy from the Northern border of Judaeawhich with the
Apostles was the habitual state.

A very material point as to the bearing of this principle is brought out
in the two parables in which it occurs. What is spoken of as that which a
man _hath_, is not what has been given him or what he has inherited, but
only what he has acquired for himself. It is not so much the possession of
the pounds or the talents which is the ground of reward, as the assiduity,
energy and intelligence, by which they have been earned.

I will consider the pair of parables(228) just mentioned, before the
discourse in which the saying first occurs, although they stand later in
the history, because they shew most clearly what Christ's meaning was. In
both parables we remark the following points.

(1) The rewards are proportioned, not to


given
as reward.

I note a connection between the introduction of the new form of teaching
and the course of events. When our Lord began to teach in parables "His
departure which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem"(233) was shaping
itself more and more definitely in His mind. Time was getting short, and
so He now spake for those only who had ears to hear. The nature of this
departure was too shocking to Jewish notions and too inexplicable to be
declared in plain terms to the mass. We know that even the Twelve were
bewildered with the hints that our Lord drops about the end, and we can
easily see how ill-suited such declarations would have been for the people
at large.

Again, we can understand that as the end in all its awfulness came more
and more distinctlygive them before. It is not a missionary journey, He does not
preach to the people; and the miracles which He performs are no longer
illustrations of God's Kingdom, but works of beneficence wrung from Him by
the sight of suffering. The cures are wrought as privately as is possible.
The Syro-Phoenician woman obtains what she desires by her exceptional
openness to Divine impression: when He entered into a house "and would
have no man know it," she sought Him out. The man who was deaf and had an
impediment in his speech, is taken "aside from the multitude privately,"
and our Lord charged the witnesses "that they should tell no man."(243) So
again with the blind man at Bethsaida (probably Bethsaida Julias at the
head of the lake)(244) "He took hold of the blind man by the


came from a region of serene
peace and heavenly communion, and the contrast of that with what He finds
as soon as he comes to the resort of men, draws from Him these stern
words. From the disciples' surprise that they could not cast the devil
out, it may be inferred that they had succeeded in what they regarded as
similar cases before. The narrative proceeds thus

    "And they went forth from thence, and passed through Galilee; and
    he would not that any man should know it."(259)

Our Lord now lays aside for a time His setting forth of God's Kingdom to
the people at large, and devotes Himself entirely to preparing the
Apostles for what was to come. He now breaks to all the Twelve the news of
what HisMy time is not yet come; but your time
    is alway ready. The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth,
    because I testify of it, that its works are evil. Go ye up unto
    the feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; because my time is not
    yet fulfilled. And having said these things unto them, he abode
    _still_ in Galilee. But when his brethren were gone up unto the
    feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but as it were in
    secret."(273)

This disbelief was not, in our Lord's brethren, grounded on an opposition
of will like that of the scribes. It came from


To have made light
of danger, trusting to baffle it by superhuman means, would have spoiled
the lesson and the moral of His life.

When the brethren spoke of His "going up to Jerusalem," they thought of
the journey in public as much as of the feast itself. Half Galilee would
be upon the road, men would mix and converse freely on the way, and Jesus,
they thought, would, by travelling thus, come in contact with a number of
zealous men and increase His following largely. But herein lay one of the
dangers which made our Lord shun this course. The people, proud of the
great prophet from their own district, might have revived the project of
making Him a King, and by a turbulent entry to Jerusalem have alarmed the
Romans as well as the scribes. Again, theare to keep to the story--not only
through their pastor's teaching and ministrations, but they must have
partly owed their salvation to the loving and merciful treatment they had
met with. An offender may be sometimes won over and completely changed for
the better by feeling that he has been treated more kindly and leniently
than he deserves. The parable implies that these might not have reached
heaven if their guides had been more hard with them, if they had exacted
every religious duty, and had been severe upon every failing. These men
having reached the eternal tabernacles welcomed into them those who by
lessening their burdens had been the means of their getting there
themselves.

We now come to the hard question, What is meant by the words "the mammon
of unrighteousness" or "unrighteous mammon"--which are identical? I think

been paralysed
with anguish and dismay, and the last lessons would have fallen on the
ears of men who were prostrated and stunned.

That our Lord's action was suited to what did actually happen, and not to
what was likely to happen after the judgment of men, appears also in
another way.

The Apostles, both in themselves and in virtue of their training, were
exactly adapted to the part which came into their hands, but they were by
no means of the sort which the leader either of a political or a religious
movement would have picked out to carry it forward when He should die.
They were not men to fascinate crowds and lead them whither they would,
they were not men to discover that aspect of a dogma which should commend
itself to the understandings of their hearers.the occasions and circumstances of the appearances, we
find in the different accounts rather more than their customary diversity;
yet in the _nature_ of the appearances the agreement is so singular, and
the conception involved is so unexampled, that it is impossible for
different writers to have lighted at the same time on the idea, and I can
find no explanation for the phenomena, except by supposing that the
picture was taken from life. The appearances themselves, as we should
expect from their nature, leave on the mental retina an impression
indelible and distinct; but the traditions about _when_ and _how_ they
occurred, undergo variation as they pass from mouth to mouth.

The character of our Lord's appearances, in all the Gospels, is alike.
Most commonly He is not recognised at first, and does not appear in His
own form,


suppose, never invented or wrote
anything else in that particular line in which he so wondrously surpassed
the rest of mankind. The Orientals delighted in tales. Did they suffer the
greatest imaginative genius of the world to live and die unknown?

There was nothing in Literature to furnish a hint for the portraiture of
the risen Lord; the idea of the Resurrection body must have been due to
one man's imagination and have been presented with extraordinary literary
skill at a time when imaginative narration was wholly unknown. The writers
of the age in which the Gospels appeared could set down events and record
colloquies, and depict living personalities with truth and force; but they
were no more capable of conceiving a character, of making him act, and
putting into his mouth words which should seem to be hiswould have come out now and then. It is Love only which
brings others as close to a man as his own self. This lesson of Love was
perfected, for the Apostles, by their witnessing Christ's death upon the
cross--a death not for friends, not for those under His protection, but for
men "while they were yet sinners."(346) They saw, too, that when He rose
from the dead in absolute might Divine, He breathed not a word shewing
that He remembered His wrongs, but quietly put the past away. All this
filled the Apostles' hearts with Lovingness; they could not have gone on
with their work, with so little return to shew, unless they had loved the
brethren and the converts. The joy which we note in the Apostles, resting
like a halo upon them, comes of their

New satellite evidence seems to indicate that North Korea is restoring one of its existing nuclear missile testing sites, CNN reported, citing North Korean websites.

Here's what we know

Two North Korea monitoring websites — 38 North and the Center for Strategic Studies' Beyond Parallel project — both said that they had seen evidence in satellite images of activity at the Tongchang-ri satellite launch facility, CNN reported. The North Korean government had at least appeared to have stopped using this facility in August 2018.

In September, South Korean President Moon Jae-in said that North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un had promised to "permanently dismantle" the Tongchang-ri site "in the presence of experts from relevant nations."

Recent construction at the site reportedly includes rebuilding a launch pad and a missile engine test stand.Beyond Parallel said that the construction at the site was "deliberate and purposeful."

The groups said that changes in the site could be seen between Feb. 16 and March 2, although it's not clear when they occurred within this time frame. Because of this, it's impossible for them to tell if the construction began before, during, or after President Donald Trump's summit with Kim in Hanoi, Vietnam, on Feb. 28.

The New York Times reported that officials from South Korea's National Intelligence Service thought that the work at the Tongchang-ri site began before the summit took place. A South Korean lawmaker confirmed to CNN that the National Intelligence Service believed that the Tongchang-ri site was being restored.

The website, 38 North, was founded by two North Korea experts from Johns Hopkins


University. It has released analysis of previous satellite images before. Both 38 North and the Center for Strategic Studies' Beyond Parallel project are considered to be respected sources for analysis on North Korea, CNN said.

Anything else?

There are also reports of activity at the Yongbyon nuclear complex, CNN reported. Dismantling this complex in particular had been a bargaining chip that Kim had reportedly offered during the Hanoi summit.

The CIA has so far refused to confirm these reports.

The summit between Trump and Kim in Hanoi broke down on Feb. 28 after Kim reportedly demanded that all sanctions on North Korea be lifted.a part of the fabric of America. It was GM and other manufacturers that provided jobs to masses of people, triggered gender and racial integration in the workplace, changed our society from agrarian to industrial, and created a middle class early in the last century. Cadillac engineered, built, and powered the Sherman tanks that helped defeat Japan and Germany in WWII. After that war, the company became one of the symbols of prosperity for this country.

All true. It's the stuff Cadillac did in the 80s and 90s that I think shrinks the market.

This was far, far from an unbiased "review".

I certainly heard his comment about the 335i having firmer suspension and less body roll, I was very surprised since it went against pretty much all other reviews, and of my own back to back test drives. The difference may be the test track vs. back roads. They probably did not know the ATS also had a sport mode, first Google attempt


less body roll, I was very surprised since it went against pretty much all other reviews, and of my own back to back test drives. However the conclusion of the review, as that Yahoo reviewer said, was that the ATS was better at the curves, although not at straight, therefore I assumed the BMW guy seemed to agree. Having provided all the input to that Yahoo reviewer, I think he would have objected to that conclusion had he disagreed.

Clearly having more fun at the curves and corners was why both of them agreed, although the ATS came a bit short, it was a good first attempt.

I didn't hear that - at best the BMW said it was a good effort, he never said it was more fun orbetter at anything.

What do you expect him to say if he works for BMW?

Just to be clear - he doesn't work for BMW. He works for BMW CCA, which is an independent organization. They do drink the BMW kool aid, but it is not at all uncommon for their writers to also voice criticism of BMW. However, he is not a writer. He is the marketing guy.

Absolutely, and cars that cost far less than BMWs are beginning to approach BMW in terms of feature, function, and driving experience. For all the love the E46 gets around here, recall that it was competing against the dreck the industry was putting out in the 90s. I wonder how a brand new one would fare against, say, a contemporary Acura TSX.

(I'm just like the guys who wonder how Joe Lewis in his prime would have done against Tyson in his. We'll never know.)

Terrell Lewis 2020 NFL Draft Profile

As a Washington D.C. St. John’s high school senior, Lewis was a highly recruited four star outside linebacker. Lewis participated in the 2016 Under Armour All-American Game as well as earning the D.C. Gatorade Player of the Year award. Lewis generated a plethora of division one college offers which included, Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Maryland, Ole Miss, Penn State and Ohio State. After initially committing to Ohio State, Lewis decommitted from the program during the summer of 2016 and announced his decision to play for Alabama.

Lewis instantly saw playing time as a Freshman as he appeared in 11


games while accounting for 11 tackles and one sack. Entering his Sophomore year, Lewis was considered to be one of the tides top pass rushing threats, but an upper arm injury during the season opener sidelined Lewis for 10 games. Lewis returned later that season and finished his Sophomore season with 16 tackles and one sack throughout four games. Lewis was again struck by injury during his Junior campaign as he missed the entire 2018 season with a significant ACL injury. However, as a 2019 redshirt Junior, Lewis produced a dominant season in which he played in 11 games, totaled 31 tackles, and six sacks. Furthermore, Lewis’ bounce back season earned him All-SEC second team honors as well as being selected to the Butkus Award Watch List.

Blessed Dina Bosatta (27 May 1858 - 20 April 1887) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious (nun) who became a professed member of the Daughters of Mary religious congregation alongside her sister Marcellina. Bosatta became a nun in 1878 and assumed the religious name of "Chiara" and devoted her life to God and to the social welfare of neglected children and to the poor.

Bosatta co-founded - alongside her sister and Saint Luigi Guanella - the Daughters of Saint Mary of Providence - and managed the order in her hometown and the surrounding areas. In her service to the poor she contracted tuberculosis which remained with her until her death in 1887.

Pope John Paul II presided over her beatification on 21 April 1991.

Life
Dina Bosatta was born in


nonetheless and admired their spirit and strong dedication to their rules of life. Bosatta returned to her home and joined with her sister Marcellina and the two joined the Daughters of Mary that Father Carlo Copponi had established; Marcellina would later become the superior of the order. The pair also worked at a hospice to tend to neglected children and older people as well as teaching children.

The pair coordinated efforts at establishing a new religious congregation - the Daughters of Saint Mary of Providence - alongside Saint Luigi Guanella. It was at this point that she took the religious name of "Chiara". She was professed as a nun on 27 October 1878.

Tending to the poor bought unwanted consequences for Bosatta when she contracted tuberculosis - this disease wouldremain with her until the end of her life.

Bosatta died on 20 April 1887 of tuberculosis. She had suffered with the disease more than in the past in the autumn of 1886 and relocated back to her hometown hoping that a change of climate would benefit her.

Beatification

The process for beatification commenced under the direction of the Cardinal Archbishop of Milan Andrea Carlo Ferrari in 1912 in a process that would gather documentation and writings that Bosatta left in life. This process granted her the title Servant of God and spanned until 1917 in which the process was closed and halted for several decades. The Positio was compiled in a comprehensive manner to note her life of virtue and biographical details and was submitted to the Congregation for the


of plaintiff."
Appellant brings his appeal upon three points of error, which are as follows:

First Point
"The error of the trial court in refusing to permit defendant to file his proffered trial amendment changing the description of the land he claimed from the twenty acres described in his original pleadings to the three-tenths acre that was actually inclosed as was first revealed by the testimony of plaintiff's last rebuttal witness, when it was the evidence introduced by plaintiff during the trial that revealed that defendant was limited to land actually inclosed.

Second Point
The error of the trial court in refusing to allow defendant to resume the witness stand, before the court in the absence of the jury, for the purpose of clarifying his position and showing the court why he wasfor except the 20 acre tract which he was claiming under the 10-year statute of limitation, introduced evidence to show that in 1937 he went on the land, constructed a house, built an inclosure on a portion of the 20 acres claimed by him; that he and his family continuously resided in such house and used such inclosure from 1937 to the time of the trial in November, 1954, and at the time of the trial was still using it as a home.
The appellee introduced evidence, including various written acknowledgments of tenancy by various parties, showing that the appellee, the record title owner, had been in such constructive possession of various portions of the survey during the claimed limitation period that the appellant Stroud under such evidence would


See: Fielder v. Houston Oil Co. of Texas, 208 S.W. 158 by the Commission of Appeals, judgment adopted by the Supreme Court. Appellant's first and second points are therefore sustained.
The trial court indicated to the attorneys in the case, after argument was heard on the motion for instructed verdict, that he thought the law was against the appellant and that he ought to instruct a verdict against him because he had testified himself that when he went on the land claimed by him in this suit he did so believing that it was "vacant land belonging to the State of Texas." This question was raised in paragraph 7 of appellee's motion for instructed verdict. The appellant thereupon asked permission of the court to permit appellant to testify further31 L.R.A.,N.S., 153. We disagree, however, with the application of the law to the facts as shown by this record. The appellant's pleading in which he claimed a 20 acre tract began a description of the land claimed as "being a part of Section 14, G.C. & S.F. Survey." Stroud, the appellant, was asked what prompted him "to go out there on this 20 acre tract in question" and he replied, "I checked the records down here in the County Clerk's office and it was 20 acres unknown." He then testified about clearing the land of timber, building a house, digging a well, putting a fence around his house and garden, getting married and raising a family there. He testified to his use of the property and the


matter at all he knew that the land had been granted by the State in order that it be known as G.C. & S.F. Survey No. 14, and was therefore still not owned by the State of Texas. When he, after a number of preliminary questions, answered the question, "You mean he said it did not belong to anybody?" "That is right." The answered the question, "That is, it was vacant land?" "It was vacant land." He was gradually led on by the questions of *917 Counsel to say "yes, sir" to the question "because you thought it was vacant land belonging to the State of Texas." It appears to us that the appellant, as a witness, was simply agreeing with an erroneous conclusion of law suggested toStroud to appellee Temple Lumber Company dated May 7, 1941, and covering the entire G.C. & S.F. Survey No. 14. The instrument was not acknowledged by Stroud before a notary public but it bore the signatures as witnesses of three persons: G. W. Alford, Jesse Byrum and Mack Bragg. Mr. Alford was dead at the time of trial. Mr. Bragg testified that he was a witness to the instrument and "there was a fellow supposed to have signed it but I don't know that it was A. O. Stroud." He would not say that he saw Stroud sign it. He was not certain about the purported signature of Stroud being Stroud's signature and further testified that all he could testify about the instrument was that it was his


signature on it and he signed it as a witness. He did not see Byrum sign his name and he did not see Alford sign his name. Mr. Byrum did not testify. One of such witnesses, Mr. Alford, proved it up for registration before R. A. Smith, a notary public, who testified that he took Alford's acknowledgment as a witness to the instrument. The certificate of the Clerk of the County Court of Sabine County, attached to said *918 instrument, certifies that the instrument was filed for record in his office August 16, 1951. On the trial of the case appellant Stroud categorically denied that he had executed or signed the acknowledgment of tenancy and testified that his signature did not appear thereon. He admitted, however, that onletter dated August 20, 1951, signed A. O. Stroud, was received by Mr. Prudhomme advising that Stroud had not been able to find any land and did not know when he would. Mr. Prudhomme wrote a letter to Stroud on August 30, 1951, stating that appellee did not wish to cause appellant any unnecessary inconvenience, but he would like to clear the matter up soon. Mrs. A. O. Stroud, wife of the appellant, wrote Mr. Goodrich, another official of the appellee company, and referred to Mr. Prudhomme's letter in which she requested Mr. Goodrich to help her. In response to such letter Mr. Goodrich wrote Mrs. Stroud that he had secured an extension of time of sixty days from September 1st in which they were to move the


told him that he had received a letter from J. H. Minton advising that his lease had been cancelled and that he would have to remove his improvements and vacate the land, and that he wanted to execute a new tenancy acknowledgment or purchase the acreage where his house was.
The appellant denied that he had written any letters to the Company and testified that he had not authorized his wife to write any such letter to the Company and knew nothing about it; that he was working out of town for awhile and came home at irregular periods; that he saw one letter from the Company but did not read it and threw it into the fire. He admitted having a conversation with Mr. Prudhomme, but denied thatthere was any mention at all of the land in the conversation and said that they talked about him wanting to get his job back after he had been fired by the Company. He also denied ever having any conversation with Mr. Goodrich with reference to getting an extension of the lease contract or to buying any land where his house was.
John Zager testified that he cut ties for Temple Lumber Company on the G.C. & S.F. Survey No. 14 in 1945 and 1946 and Stroud worked for him on such job; that Stroud told him while they were working there that he did not own any land where his house was but that he leased it from Temple Lumber Company. Appellant denied having any such conversation with


36 S.W. 247, 37 S.W. 319. It seems incredible that, if Stroud had not executed such acknowledgment of tenancy in 1941 and the instrument had been shown to him while he was testifying in the suit of his brother with Temple Lumber Company in 1951, he would not have been able to deny it at that time, and would not have been content to testify that he could not say "yes" or "no", but simply could not remember signing such an instrument. It seems almost incredible that he would not have known of the letters written by his wife to Temple Lumber Company in regard to moving his house. Nevertheless, he did deny on this trial that he signed it and there was no direct evidence before thewe never knew we were missing.

The Artist

Talk about your escapist prestige seasons. Over the past few weeks, I haven't yet seen a 2012 Oscar contender set in the present day; I've hardly even seen one set in America. Scorsese chose to make a movie not only set far in the past, but also in Europe. The Europeans have also been focused on the past and on Europe, as in My Week with Marilyn, or the upcoming Iron Lady. France's The Artist is the apotheosis of this escapist trend: it's set in the 20s-30s, in Hollywood (escapist for French people), and it's not only black-and-white but silent—that's right, an honest-to-goodness silent movie, a sort of ode to the charm, physicality and romanticism of Chaplin.
