A suspected fraudster befriended the woman on Facebook and lured her with the promise of a cash gift of £2 million (around Rs 16 crore) during his 'visit' to Mumbai in January .For three months, the victim continued transferring money to three different accounts named by the fraudster. It was only on March 27, after the victim paid the final sum of Rs 3 lakh to his account, did she realise she was being duped. Reacting to the complaint, cyber police at BKC immediately sent a team to Gandhinagar locality in New Delhi and arrested two people--Shabuddin Shaikh (23) and Gulzar Shaikh (24)--who came toa friendship request on the social network without realising the person who befriended me was part of the `Nigerian scam'. The fraudster posed as a UK businessman and offered Rs 16 crore as gift during his visit to India. I went on transferring money believing I was helping him clear the money which he planned to gift to me. He said he was stuck at customs and other agencies.“The accused, after befriending the victim, made calls to her and even exchanged emails. “In one mail the fraudster said he will visit India and wanted to meet her and her family members.

The small seaside resort of Swakopmund lies on the coast of Namibia. It was established in 1892 as the main harbour for Namibia’s German colonisers, and still bears the marks of those years of German rule. For much of the year, Swakopmund lies silently shrouded in fog. But in the summer, the fog lifts, and the tourists flock, drawn to the grand hotels, the moody beach and the bustling cafes. The population is a colourful mix of retired Germans, young natives living in housing projects just outside the main village, and the Himba tribes people who trek down from the north, dressed in traditional garb and sell self-made jewellery crafted from found objects.The cult of the healing god Asklepios was immensely successful in antiquity. Wickkiser here examines the rapid development of his cult in the fifth century [bc]{.smallcaps}. At the centre of her reflection is a rejection of dichotomies such as rational versus irrational, church versus state, and public versus private, which have dominated scholarship since the publication of the monumental work of Emma and Ludwig Edelstein (*Asclepius*, Baltimore, 1945).

The first section (chapters 1 to 3) tackles the rational--irrational dichotomy. The cult of Asklepios has often been considered as "irrational" when compared to contemporary, "Hippocratic" medicine. Wickkiser maintains that "medical healing" (healing whose efficacy was explained without reference to divine intention) existed in Greece since at least the Bronze Age, but that in the fifth century it became more clearly


2018–19 Ole Miss Rebels men's basketball team

The 2018–19 Ole Miss Rebels men's basketball team represented the University of Mississippi in the 2018–19 NCAA Division I men's basketball season, their 109th basketball season. The Rebels were led by first-year, SEC Coach of the Year, Kermit Davis. The Rebels played their games at The Pavilion at Ole Miss in Oxford, Mississippi as members of the Southeastern Conference. The Rebels had an eight-win improvement from their previous season, which was eleventh best in Division I. The Rebels returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2015, where they were defeated in the First Round.

Previous season
The Rebels finished the 2017–18 season 12–20, 5–13 in SEC play to finish in last place. They lost in the first round of the SECgolfers prior to the present invention, however, is the nature of the construction of the standard golf bag. A typical golf bag which receives the set of clubs is in the form of a tubular body enclosed at one end. A single strap extends from an upper rim of the golf bag to a mid-point on the bag. The golfer or the caddy then carries such bag by inserting one arm through the strap so that the strap extends across one shoulder thus supporting the bag for travel. A small handle may also be mounted on the bag, normally between the end points of the strap, to enable the bag to be carried by the human hand.
A disadvantage to this system has long been present, in that the


shoulders simultaneously. To this end, in its broad form, the disclosed system is in the form of a strap assembly for use with a golf bag wherein the golf bag is in the form of an elongated tubular member having a surrounding sidewall, an enclosed end and an open end whereby the shafts of golf clubs made be inserted into the golf bag. The strap assembly includes a first strap having a first strap end secured to the golf bag at a first location proximate the open end and having a first strap second end secured to the golf bag at a second location axially spaced from the first location along an attachment axis. The first strap thereby defines a primary strap forming a first strap opening whichmay be secured over one of the person's shoulders. The second strap has a second strap first end secured to the golf bag proximate the second location and has a second strap second end secured to the golf bag at a third location axially spaced from the second location along the attachment axis between the second location and the closed end of the golf bag, thereby defining a second strap opening. The second strap thus forms a secondary strap opening which may be positioned over the other shoulder of the person so that the golf bag may be suspended from and supported by both shoulders in a fully supported state. In the fully supported state, therefore, the golf bag is oriented generally transversely across the back of the

Miles said he took out a second mortgage on his house to finance the idea's transformation into reality. Lovelace, he said, insisted on being the point man with Orange County Fire Authority and others.

Then came delay after delay, prompting Miles to do some fact checking.

"There was no Orange County, and there was no contract with Orange County. It was all fraud, a fabrication, Miles said.

"This guy came up with fraudulent documents, forged signatures," said Orem Police Lt. Craig Martinez.

According to Miles, Lovelace even created a dummy email account set up to look like a California fire official.

"He was a parasite. Jerry Lovelace is a parasite; he likes to feed off of people," Miles said.

Even police are stumped on how Miles could have protected himself.

"Really,what could he have done?" Martinez said. "In this case, I can't really think of anything."

Lovelace was also charged in 3rd District Court on July 22 with theft, a second-degree felony, for allegedly billing a food storage company that employed him for $61,909 worth of sales he never made between April 2012 and September 2013.

Lovelace told investigators he falsely reported that he had made sales to California school districts and Kaiser hospitals in California. He used the money he received for personal gain, charges state.

Because multiple victims are common in fraud cases, investigators say it's possible Lovelace defrauded more people in the state.

briefs, and the record
presented, the Court finds no substantial question of law and no prejudicial error. For these
reasons, a memorandum decision is appropriate under Rule 21 of the Rules of Appellate
Procedure.

         Mr. Neil, a contractor, alleges that he injured his hand, wrist, shoulder, neck, and head in
the course of his employment on October 3, 2011, when a slate bar came out of his hand and
struck his hardhat. Mr. Neil did not report the alleged injury and did not seek medical treatment
until five months after it occurred. On March 12, 2012, he was treated by Clifford Hill, D.C., for
headaches and knee, hand, and neck pain. He stated that he believed his neck, left hand, and knee
problems came about insidiously. He reportedthat he had hand problems for two years. He did
not report a work-related injury until March 30, 2012. At that time, he told Dr. Hill that he was
                                                 1
hit in the head with a slate bar. A cervical MRI revealed foraminal stenosis of the left side due to
spondylosis and a herniated disc at C5-6 on the left. Mr. Neil was previously treated by Dr. Hill
on November 8, 2007, for cervical and right shoulder pain, headaches, and right hand problems.


      Mr. Neil asserted in a May 21, 2012, statement that while changing an attachment on a
large excavator, a slate bar he was using was ripped from his hand. The bar hit his hardhat
causing it to break and fly off of his head. He immediately felt pain in his hands, right shoulder,
head, and neck. He was working at Mt. Laurel Complex Plant at that time. After the incident
occurred, he alleges that he recorded the injury in his personal papers. He stated that he did not
immediately seek treatment because he hoped the injury would heal on its own, he was looking
for a new job, and he did not want to be penalized for filing a claim. He was offered a job by
another employer inJanuary of 2012 but turned it down because he did not feel like he could
perform the work due to his pain. He was then laid off from Mt. Laurel Complex Plant in the
first week of March of 2012. After that, he sought treatment from Dr. Hill. Mr. Neil then testified
in a deposition on September 6, 2012. He stated that he had no neck problems prior to October 3,
2011. However, he did admit to having a work-related neck injury in 1988 for which he received
a permanent partial disability award. He stated that he knew the date of injury in the instant case
was October 3, 2011, because he told his wife the following day that he needed a new hardhat
and she wrote it down. He also stated that his workers’


compensation coverage expired on
October 6, 2011.

        Brad Stapleton, Mr. Neil’s coworker, gave two statements regarding the alleged work-
related injury. In May of 2012, he stated that he was present when the injury occurred and that it
happened approximately four or five months prior. He then stated that it occurred in the later part
of October of 2011. He noted that Mr. Neil had problems with his arms, wrists, shoulders, and
hands before the alleged injury occurred. In September of 2012, Mr. Stapleton stated that he
worked with Mr. Neil between October 1, 2011, and October 5, 2011, and that the injury
occurred during that time.

        Mr. Neil was treated by Panos Ignatiadis, M.D., on August 8, 2012. Dr. Ignatiadisfound
that the cervical MRI findings revealed a herniated C5-6 disc and stated that the alleged work-
related injury would be a competent cause of the symptoms. In a July 29, 2013, deposition, Dr.
Hill agreed that a blow to the head could cause a herniated disc. However, he stated that when
Mr. Neil first sought treatment on March 12, 2012, he did not report an injury. Instead, he
reported that his problems arose insidiously.

       The claims administrator rejected the claim on July 23, 2012. The Office of Judges
affirmed the decision in its October 10, 2013, Order. It found that there were multiple
inconsistencies concerning the facts of the case. Mr. Neil did not seek treatment until five
months after the alleged injury. The Office of Judges found that


the witness to the alleged injury,
Brad Stapleton, initially stated on May 31, 2012, that the injury occurred four or five months
prior. He then stated that he believed the injury occurred in late October of 2011. In his
September 12, 2012, statement he asserted that the injury occurred between October 1, 2011, and
October 5, 2011. Mr. Neil testified in his deposition that the injury occurred on October 3, 2011.
Though Mr. Neil asserted that he reported the injury to his supervisor, the Office of Judges found
                                             found that Brad Stapleton noted in his statement that Mr. Neil had problems with his arms,
wrists, shoulders, and hands prior to October 3, 2011. The Office of Judges found that when Mr.
Neil sought treatment for the alleged injury in March of 2012, he stated that he had no idea what
caused his symptoms. On his next visit, he informed Dr. Hill that he had suffered a work-related
injury. Mr. Neil stated that Dr. Hill asked him about injuries on that visit, whereas Dr. Hill
testified that Mr. Neil volunteered the information with no prompting. The Office of Judges
ultimately concluded that Mr. Neil failed to sustain his burden of proof to show that he was
injured in the course of and resulting from his employment. The Board of Review adopted the
findings of fact


and conclusions of law of the Office of Judges and affirmed its Order on March
27, 2014.

        On appeal, Mr. Neil argues that the claim should be held compensable because a
coworker witnessed the incident. He further argues that Dr. Hill stated that, if his description of
the injury was true, it could be a possible cause of his herniated disc. Darrell Neil Contracting
asserts that Mr. Neil has failed to show that he sustained a work-related injury. He did not seek
medical treatment until five months after the injury allegedly occurred. It further notes that Mr.
Neil testified in a deposition that he had no other work-related neck injuries, but records show
that he suffered a work-related neck injury in 2007 for which he received a permanentpartial
disability award.

        After review, we agree with the reasoning of the Office of Judges and the conclusions of
the Board of Review. There is no medical evidence that Mr. Neil was injured in the course of his
employment on October 3, 2011. He did not seek medical treatment until five months later.
Though Brad Stapleton witnessed the alleged injury, his account of when the injury occurred
varied. He first stated it was in January or February of 2012, then stated it was at the end of
October of 2011, and then gave a specific date range in October of 2011. Mr. Neil’s workers’
compensation insurance ran out three days after he alleges the injury occurred, and there is no
reliable evidence in the record of the exact date


of the alleged injury. He stated that he recorded
the incident in his personal papers and that his wife wrote down that he needed a new hardhat
due to the injury; however, those papers were not submitted into the evidentiary record. Also,
Mr. Neil reported the work-related injury only after he was laid off from his job. He therefore
failed to show by a preponderance of the evidence that he was injured in the course of his
employment.

        For the foregoing reasons, we find that the decision of the Board of Review is not in clear
violation of any constitutional or statutory provision, nor is it clearly the result of erroneous

Seasonal reproduction of yellowish myotis, Myotis levis (Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae), from a Neotropical highland.
With a nearly global distribution the vespertilionid bat Myotis represents one of the most exceptional examples of adaptive radiation among mammals. We investigated the reproductive activity of the vespertilionid bat yellowish myotis, Myotis levis, from a highland area in Southeastern Brazil. The data were obtained through histological analyses of the male and female genital systems from February 2010 to May 2011. The testes of the adult yellowish myotis showed seasonal morphological characteristics which were categorized in the following stages: rest, maturing, mature, and mating. Rest and maturing males were recorded throughout the rainy season (October-March). In the rest stage no spermatogenesis was observed and the epididymal duct was devoid of spermatozoa. Maturing individuals had started spermatogenesisand few spermatozoa were found in the epididymal duct. Mature males were found toward the end (February-March) of the rainy season, when full spermatogenic activity was recorded and spermatozoa were packed in the epididymal duct. Although not recorded, mating probably occurred in the middle of the dry season (April-September) when the cauda epididymis was enlarged and packed with sperm. The spermatozoa remained stored in the cauda epididymis for at least three months when the testes entered into regression. The ovaries showed all types of ovarian follicles throughout the study period except mature follicles which were registered only in July (mid-dry season). Lactating females were captured in the beginning of the rainy season. The seasonal reproductive characteristics of the yellowish myotis from this Neotropical highland area were similar those

Airlink and Safair, two independent aviation groups from South Africa, will on 28 November 2017 apply to South Africa'sCompetition Commission for approval to unite under the common umbrella of the Airlink group of companies. The two airlines will continue to operate seperately under their unique brands and will retain their respective products, aircraft fleets, management as well as their leadership teams.Employees will be secure with no job losses because of the consolidation. The purchase of Safair will not affect Airlink's existing franchise partnership with South African Airways (SAA), which continues to deliver traffic and business to SAA and Airlink.More details will be provided when South Africa'sCompetition Commission has made its decision, which is expected to likely be during the first quarter of 2018. We'll keep you posted!

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) — Southern Indiana authorities say residents inside two homes were lucky they escaped injury when a towering oak tree toppled onto both homes.

A pin oak that stood about 100 feet (30 meters) tall fell Monday afternoon in Jeffersonville, striking two residences, both of which had people inside.

Betty Cook tells the News and Tribune she was in her living room when she heard a cracking sound only seconds before the tree crashed through another part of her home. She escaped unharmed with her two dogs.

Jeffersonville Fire Department Sgt. Justin Ames says the fallen tree was "absolutely ginormous" and the residents were very lucky they weren't injured when it fell in the Ohio River city just north of Louisville, Kentucky.

Ames says soils in Jeffersonville are saturated fromBarry Bonds and Roger Clemens gained momentum, but once again failed to garner enough votes for election into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

The two are forever entwined in their Hall candidacies, which began in 2013. While they've enjoyed incremental gains over seven years on the ballot – Clemens debuted at 37.6 percent and rose to 57.3 percent last year and Bonds began with 36.2 percent and was at 56.4 percent in 2018 -- the results from Tuesday's announcement indicate a slog toward the 75 percent needed for induction that likely will come down to the wire.

Clemens was named on 59.5 percent of ballots cast by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, falling 66 votes shy of the 319 needed for induction. Bonds received 59.1 percent of the votes


(251).

While the two have Hall of Fame-worthy statistics and were by far the best players in their generation -- if not in the modern era -- their careers have been clouded by their association with performance-enhancing drugs. Bonds is the all-time home run king with 762 and a seven-time MVP. Clemens won 354 games, which ranks third all-time, and is a seven-time Cy Young winner.

From placing wagers with her father to hobnobbing with Hall of Fame jockeys and starring in the 2003 film Seabiscuit, Banks is more than your average spectator

Elizabeth Banks

If you’re one of those Del Mar Racetrack aficionados who finds the show in the grandstand just as riveting as the equine action, the 2017 Breeders’ Cup is bound to be your kind of event.

This year will mark the 33rd running of the race that crowns a North American Thoroughbred champion, held at the picturesque seaside San Diego venue for the first time. With a starting gate full of well-known hopefuls from America and abroad, the crowd on hand is sure to sparkle with


athletes and celebrities flocking to participate in the two-day event.

Somewhere in the crowd will be actress Elizabeth Banks. Unbeknownst to many, the versatile 43-year-old star has been hitting the track since she was 10.

“I love the pageantry, the traditions, the clothes. It’s a magical place,” she says of big-time horse racing.

Banks has starred in such iconic films as Seabiscuit (2003), The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005), Pitch Perfect (2012), and the Hunger Games series (2012–2015). She made her directorial debut with Pitch Perfect 2, and its opening weekend gross set a record for a first-time director.

Banks was born Elizabeth Mitchell in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. When she started in Hollywood, another actor already had that name, so she changed hers. Her family, she says, “didn’t grow up with much money, but Ithe best feeling ever. It was even sweeter if my horse beat Dad’s.”

Banks discovered theater after she broke her leg playing Little League baseball. She went on to graduate magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania. After receiving an MFA from the American Conservatory Theater, Banks acted in regional theaters, then began to win roles on TV shows like Scrubs. She got her big break in 2006, appearing alongisde Mark Wahlberg in the football tearjerker Invincible.

As her career blossomed and her family joined her in California, the Breeders’ Cup became a mainstay.

“My father hasn’t missed a Breeders’ Cup in 10 years. It’s our family tradition to go together,” Banks says.

When she earned a role in the movie Seabiscuit, her love of horse racing was cemented. The film


is loosely based on the life and career of an underdog racehorse whose success made him a sensation during the Great Depression.

While filming at California’s Santa Anita Park, the most frequent home of the Breeders’ Cup, Banks says she became close with Hall of Fame jockeys Gary Stevens and Chris McCarron, who introduced her to the history of racing and track culture. She has stayed immersed and connected to the Breeders’ Cup ever since.Fig.1 Holotype skull of Tsaidamotherium brevirostrum sp. nov. Credit: SHI Qinqin

Numerous Neogene mammal fossils have been excavated in Hezheng area, Gansu province since the 1970s. Two fossil skulls of a bizarre bovid were discovered in recent years. In an article published in the journal of Science China, Dr. SHI Qinqin, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology (IVPP), described them as a new species, Tsaidamotherium brevirostrum. This is the second discovery of the genus in Northwest China nearly 70 years after the genus was initially established, sheding new light on the skull morphology and systematics of the genus.

Tsaidamotherium is a mid-sized late Miocene bovid with an odd-looking horn-core apparatus so far known only from northwestern China. During the Sino-Swedish Scientific Expedition to Northwest China in the early 1930s, two


bovid cranial parts with odd-looking horn-core apparatus were collected from the Miocene deposits in the Qaidam Basin. The "completely unique horn-core apparatus" of the cranial parts seemed so peculiar and important that these cranial parts were assigned to a new genus and species in 1935, Tsaidamotherium hedini. Since then not even a single specimen of Tsaidamotherium has been reported.

The holotype of Tsaidamotherium brevirostrum is a cranial part of skull with well-preserved horn-core apparatus, basioccipital and occipital regions. It was collected from the Liushu Formation (late Miocene) of the Linxia Basin near the village Yancanping, approximately 2.5 km east of Maijiaji Township. Of the new specimens there is also a nearly complete skull of female individual, with the top part of its horn-core apparatus damaged.

Dental trainees have an important role to play in quality assuring training programmes. Local education and training boards (LETBs) actively encourage trainee engagement through structured feedback, which acts as a valuable source of critical appraisal. This is designed to support the structure of training programmes and influences its quality and content. In 2014, East Midlands LETB appointed a regional trainee representative to collate, present and promote dental foundation and core trainee issues to the Dental School Board, as well as highlight their accomplishments and achievements. The pilot brief given was to evolve the post to better support trainees and quality manage the various feedback pathways. This allowed for further research into the

Retired veterinarian Dale Bush, a member of the Animal Control and Advisory Committee, says it's time to look at alternatives to euthanasia.

"Most feral cats are being euthanized and it's not reducing the population," he says. "It's also not nice to the cats. They are terrified."

Trap-neuter/spay-return is being practiced across the country to help reduce feral cat populations, which have grown to epidemic proportions. According to the Oregon Humane Society, one pair of cats and their offspring can produce as many as 588 new kittens by the third year, 4,118 new kittens by the fourth.

Live traps are fairly cheap and available at home stores, Bush says. So-called "community cats" that are tame and getting fed in the neighborhood will bedealt with the same as feral cats, he says.

The program is just getting underway and details, including funding, are not yet worked out, he says.

The animal shelter already has made strides in reducing the number of cats euthanized each year. In 2010 and 2011, euthanasia rates hovered at 80 percent. But after an owner's pet that was accidentally euthanized caused a public outcry in December 2011, the county sought and began implementing improvements recommended by the Oregon Humane Society — including accepting fewer animals and improving adoption programs — that brought the euthanasia rate down to about 63 percent in 2012.

Feral cats are not used to being handled by humans and will bite or scratch, possibly causing infections, making them unadoptable, animal shelter officials say. All cats brought

China Factory Output Misses Forecast

In another sign that the infrastructure spending boom is waning, Chinese industrial output and fixed asset investment grew at a slower than expected pace, adding to indications that momentum in the world's second-largest economy is beginning to slow. China’s factory output increased 6.50% in April from a year ago,missing the consensus forecast of 7.10% growth. Fixed-asset investment increased 8.90% during the first four months of the year, also below expectations of a 9.10% rate of expansion.

Growth in output slowed on the back of falling steel and iron ore prices amid concerns of rising inventories and government efforts towards deleveraging. Policymakers have cut their growth target to around 6.50% for the remainder of the year as they try to push through painful reforms to contain risks stemming from years of debt-fuelled stimulus.

Early education and career of Jordan Combe

After attaining his A-levels with an impressive average, Jordan Combe went on to university in London to achieve his Bachelor of Arts in Accountancy with Honours. The talented and bright young financial specialist in the making was soon scooped up by an up and coming firm as debtors’ clerk. Jordan’s superiorsquickly noticed his sharp intellect and keen observation skills and promoted Jordan to being junior accountant after less than a year of service. Jordan Combe continued working in the finance industry for a further eight years during which he was further promoted to being a financial accountant reporting to the CFO at his final corporate position.

Jordan Combe – From finance to financing

After learning the ropes in the financial world and establishing valuable contacts, Jordan Combe set off on his own by starting a consultancy firm offering accounting services. He was almost immediately successful with this as his reputation preceded him in the small world of finance in London. During this time Jordan started noticing that the customers he was dealing with on a daily basis were struggling under


the strain of the looming financial crisis and with his observations skills, immediately spotted areas in which clients could cut costs and also spotted how capital backing could make or break smaller establishments. Jordan realised that this sort of support was a valuable commodity for businesses with potential but just not what is needed to take off. Jordan went back to school to further his education with studying for an MBA in Strategic Management and also started dabbling in providing capital to a number of carefully selected newly launched businesses.

Jordan Combe; the entrepreneur supporting entrepreneurs

After further research, Jordan Combe discovered the concept of lean management is very closely linked to his hypothesis of tactical planning in business. He started offering his services as consultant in business and financecreating a specialised service encompassing capital, accountancy and business management. Word of mouth is a powerful marketing tool and Jordan gained the reputation of being a miracle-worker with saving failing businesses with his strategies and backing. Through demand, Jordan shifted focus to turnovers and start-up capital. In the past seven years of operating as consultant, Jordan Combe has successfully saved a number of companies from going under and also provided the required support, without which many companies would not have managed to keep afloat.

Out and about with the Combe family

A man passionate about family, Jordan Combe resides with his wife Leslie and two children; 16 year old Chloe and 12 year old Dylan in the quiet and leafy suburb of Chiswick literally a stone’s throw away from Gunnersbury


Triangle Nature reserve. The family enjoy the outdoors and take regular trips to the Lake District where they take long hikes and Jordan and Dylan enjoy fishing while the ladies relax. At home they enjoy taking their two Whippets for walks through Gunnersbury and also support Dylan who is an avid swimmer, partaking in regular competitions. Jordan is also quite a cook, recently venturing into the spicy world of Mexican cuisine.iron and silicium isotope signature at the global scale.

Higher education

The global economic context calls for an increasing relevance of Earth and environment science within the next years and decades. GET is strongly involved in education programs in the Midi-Pyrénées region, as well as nationwide and beyond. It delivers 95% of the teaching in Earth and environment science in Toulouse, thus reaching a large number of dedicated students in fields addressing strong social demands (environment, natural resources, etc.).

International cooperation

GET has gained worldwide presence through partaking in a number of IRD-endorsed LMIs (Laboratoires mixtes internationaux) such as LMI CEFIRSE Bangalore and LMI OCE Brasilia; OREs (Observatoires de Recherche en Environnement) such as HYBAM (South America), BVET (India and Cameroon),


cycles, delve into the dynamics of alteration/erosion processes in tropical settings, and study the impact of human activities on the functioning of the environment. Several tropical ecosystems in India and Cameroon are thus studied according to an integrated approach combining two space scales: local (experimental basins covering a few square kilometers) and regional (basins of around 100-m2 area). Experimental basins provide precious data to understand, quantify and model the workings of ecosystems and their long- and medium-term dynamics. Data from larger basins provide an understanding of the variations in water biogeochemical signatures and material transfers along the different scales.

Chris Sevier is behind anti-gay, anti-porn, and anti-abortion rights bills in a number of states.

The Man Behind the Anti-Gay “Parody Marriages” Bills Once Tried Marrying His Laptop

The man behind anti-LGBTQ bills in Kansas and North Carolina that call same-sex marriages “parody marriages” once tried marrying his laptop, has been charged with stalking at least two people, and had a restraining order filed against him by his ex-wife, which he violated.

Chris Sevier is a former lawyer, and an Iraq War veteran, who lost his license due to a finding of mental disability, but has continued to claim he is able to practice law. When pressed on where he is able to practice law, by oulets like The Daily Beast and, more recently, NBC, he has refused to answer.

Tennessee’s boardof professional responsibility launched an official inquiry and found Sevier had lied to the court and the media about a case’s opposing counsel being under criminal investigation, and found he had committed “disciplinary misconduct.” The board also noted issues in Sevier’s pleadings, including comparing country music star John Rich, one of the two people he stalked (the other being a 17-year-old girl), to Adolf Hitler. It said he had demonstrated “a lack of legal proficiency, competency, and professionalism.”

The restraining order filed by his ex-wife came as a result of Sevier attempting to take off with their infant son, resulting in a fight with his father-in-law, for which he was convicted and which resulted in injury to the child, who had to be taken to the ER.

His attempts to


marry his computer was a stunt intended to act as a protest against both same-sex marriage and pornography, which he blamed for ruining his marriage. Last year, a judge threw out his lawsuit against four members of Congress for displaying rainbow flags outside their offices. He had argued they were religious symbols.

Sevier has attempted to get legislation passed in various states to create a filter for online pornography that would require a fee to lift. Last year, in Rhode Island, Sen. Frank Ciccone pulled the bill, citing its “dubious origins,” after learning more about Sevier’s troubled and troubling past.

However Sevier, now an EDM musician who performs under the names Chris Severe and Ghost World, somehow continues to find success convincing Republican lawmakers to put forward bills he hasIn vivo radiobiology of heavy ions.

Chickens coming home to roost

Back in the 1970s, the weaker economies on the fringe of the global economy were also ‘liberalised’ after the collapse of the stable economic order framed by western governments at Bretton Woods in 1971. (There were no financial crises anywhere in the world during the Bretton Woods era: from 1947 – 71).

The Central Bank of Ireland has agreed to buy the unfinished Anglo Irish Bank HQ.

But while Bretton Woods led to the ‘Golden Age’ in economics, its architects were hostile to mobile capital. The post-war designers of that economic model prioritised democratic management and regulation of the economy and the finance sector over liberalisation; preferred traders in real goods over traders in money; upheldWith the re-emergence of the old liberal economic order after 1971, things took a revolutionary turn, and financial crises followed with increasing frequency.

The debt crises of the 70s and 80s began on the periphery of the global economy, in Latin America, Africa and parts of Asia. Then to everyone’s surprise, the crisis moved to liberalised, de-regulated Japan in 1990, when its massive credit-fuelled asset bubble burst violently. Tens of trillions of dollars were wiped out with the combined collapse of the Tokyo stock and real estate markets. Japan’s crisis was however dismissed as an aberration, and of little relevance to western economies.

The Mexican Peso crisis followed in 1995; and then the crisis moved on to Thailand and Indonesia in 1997.

From there followed the Brazilian financial crisis and Russian


So now at least the systemic nature of the political and financial challenge is acknowledged along with its urgency, and open for debate.

Before the re-adoption of the neoliberal economic model in 1992 and the launch of the Euro in 2000, Europe’s nation states had money systems that supported their development and sustained the livelihoods of their people. Above all, their monetary systems provided democracies with economic tools that protected the sovereignty and autonomy of the nation. The Bretton Woods economic order did not prevent Europeans from co-operating across borders to ensure peace; or from engaging in more efficient cross-border trade. Nor did those money systems weaken Europe’s social welfare model, or European influence in the world.

Today, under the emergence of the old neoliberal economic order, Europe is moreEuro. However Germany has a growing trade surplus with her EZ partners, and withdrawal from the Euro would threaten this advantage.

Does Europe have courageous, principled leaders? Could a European leader do what Roosevelt did in 1933 when he refused to attend the 1933 International Economic Conference organised by European central bankers? The conference had been convened to ensure compliance with the neoliberal principles of the gold standard which fixed the value of currencies and forced countries to adjust wages and prices downwards. Roosevelt boycotted the event because, as he argued in a telegram: "the old fetishes of so-called international bankers are being replaced by efforts to plan national currencies" around domestic needs.

Only by confident political leadership around a broad alliance for a new monetary order, based on the

FACTS

On August 24, 1984, Michael Woodson filed a petition for a chapter 11 reorganization.  Three days later, Woodson's wife Patricia died of brain cancer, and on September 8, 1984, he collected $1,017,764.99 as the proceeds of an insurance policy he had taken out insuring her life.

3
More than a month later, on October 9, 1984, Woodson filed schedules with the bankruptcy court listing his assets and liabilities as of August 24, the petition date.  On Schedule B-4, "Property Claimed Exempt," Woodson listed the life insurance policy and described its exempt value as "All benefits other than loan value (Unmatured at date of filing)."    Excerpt of Record (ER) 1.  Woodson cited Cal.Civ.Proc.Code Sec. 704.100(a) (West 1987) aslenders represented by attorney James A. Duckworth.  Woodson also had two principal creditors:  appellant Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, which owned over 90 percent of the claims against Woodson, and Grover, the Woodson Company's trustee.

5
On October 24, 1984, there was a meeting of Woodson's personal creditors.  See 11 U.S.C. Sec. 341 (1982);  Bankr.R. 2003(a).  At the meeting Woodson acknowledged that his wife had died and that he had received the policy proceeds.  Shortly thereafter, Grover and Duckworth filed objections on behalf of the company and its creditors to Woodson's claim to the insurance proceeds.  They argued that Woodson could not exempt the proceeds and, because the company had paid the premiums on the policy, the proceeds should be held in a constructive


trust for the company and its creditors.

On January 10, 1985, Woodson filed with the bankruptcy court a document titled "Debtor's Supplemental Schedule Respecting Receipt of Exempt Life Insurance Proceeds [Bankruptcy Rule 1007(h) ]."  It disclosed Woodson's receipt of the life insurance proceeds and claimed that the entire amount was exempt under Cal.Civ.Proc.Code Sec. 704.100 (West 1987).  The supplemental schedule was served only on Duckworth and David Chandler, an attorney for the company's trustee;  it was not served on Fireman's Fund or any of Woodson's other creditors.

The bankruptcy court scheduled a hearing on the objections for January 16, but the hearing was continued to February 13.  On February 11, Fireman's Fund prepared and signed a document titled "Memorandum of Law in Support of Objection toreceived over $1 million in life insurance proceeds when he filed his original schedules, although he well could have.  Mrs. Woodson died on August 27 and Woodson received the cash on September 8.  Woodson's original schedules were not filed until October 9, a month later.  He specifically mentioned his wife's death in his statement of financial affairs, also filed the same day, in describing a joint checking account.  CR 30a, at 2.  However, he failed to mention her death in describing the insurance policy;  indeed, he did not even disclose whose life the policy insured.

There can be no doubt that Woodson was required to list the $1 million in his schedules promptly.  "Within ten days after the information comes to the


trustee, most creditors, particularly smaller ones, are likely to rely on the trustee to smoke out any assets properly belonging to the estate.  The debtor's responsibility to serve creditors is therefore narrower.  But where, as here, no independent trustee is guarding the creditors' interests, and the debtor in possession has a powerful conflict of interest, the debtor should err on the side of caution in deciding which creditors to serve.  The case for serving Fireman's Fund here was particularly compelling.  Woodson's interest was in keeping all of the money;  the company's interest was in draining as much as possible out of Woodson's personal estate and into the company coffers.  None of the parties served, however, had an interest in keeping the proceedsmillion farms in America, some four million were of  or less. Furthermore, the million or so tractors at work on American farms were nearly all on the larger ones. Although the Fordson tractor and then the first-generation row-crop tractors, including the Farmall, Allis-Chalmers's own Model WC, and others, had been gaining significant market penetration and making mechanised agriculture ever more popular, Merritt concluded that there was a need for four million small, inexpensive tractors to fill the needs of the small farmers still using horses.

mobile station and a base station on a rescue channel. To understand the operation of the rescue channel, consider a mobile station (MS) that is communicating with a base station controller (BSC) on an active call. During the active call the mobile station sends a Pilot Strength Measurement Message (PSMM) to the base station controller. The PSMM indicates to the base station controller the identity of local base stations that are near the mobile station (referred to as “neighbor” base stations). The mobile station keeps a neighbor list identifying the neighbor base stations.
If a neighbor base station is capable of providing a rescue channel for the mobile station, the base station controller notifies the mobile station by sending the mobile station an extended neighbor list update message. Thethe “fade” period if the mobile station notices that the pilot signal of a neighbor base station in the neighbor list has grown in strength, the mobile station may automatically promote that pilot signal into its active set. The promotion of the neighbor base station is communicated from the mobile station to the base station controller in the Extended PSMM. The Extended PSMM indicates to the base station controller that the mobile station would like to attempt a rescue on the promoted neighbor base station.
The promoted neighbor base station (now the “rescue” base station) begins transmitting on the previously reserved rescue channel. At the same time the rescue base station is listening for the mobile station on the mobile station's reverse traffic channel. When the rescue base station


They used to say that if a manager wanted to find a footballer, he only had to shout down a pit in the North-east. Nowadays, a chairman looking for a manager might have the same results by visiting the restaurants near Chelsea's training base in Cobham.

When Steve Clarke took over as manager of West Bromwich Albion last month after 10 years as an assistant at Newcastle United, Chelsea, West Ham United and Liverpool, he became the 18th former Chelsea player of the Premier League era to manage at League or international level.

He joins former team-mates Roberto Di Matteo of Chelsea and Mark Hughes of Queens Park Rangers in charge of Premier League clubs, Di Matteo having earned the right to have the word "interim" removed from his titleby delivering the club's first Champions' League trophy. And while the Italian plots a repeat of the feat, his erstwhile midfield partner Didier Deschamps is considering an offer to take over as the France coach.

Many owners are mesmerised by the prospect of having big-name former players as managers, but that alone does not explain the relative dominance of the Chelsea old boys. Di Matteo was at a loss when asked last week, but his former teammate Gustavo Poyet, now managing Brighton & Hove Albion after being assistant manager at Leeds United and Tottenham Hotspur, has a theory that explains the particular success in coaching of the 1999-2000 team that won the FA Cup under the managership of Gianluca Vialli.

"A lot of foreigners together in a different country, always


goalkeeping coaches.

"The only other [similar] situation I can think of is at Manchester United, with Steve Bruce, Bryan Robson, Paul Ince and Mark Hughes – more or less the same type of group and mentality. Strong, experienced, and they learned a lot from Sir Alex Ferguson. Of course they had only one manager where we had a few, so maybe their influence was more focused on what Sir Alex did."

Before Poyet's time in England, West Ham produced a crop of influential League managers including Malcolm Allison, Dave Sexton, Frank O'Farrell, Noel Cantwell and John Bond. They used to talk football after training at Cassettari's Cafe near the Boleyn Ground, using salt cellars and pepper pots to demonstrate formations.

You imagine that the Chelsea players of 2000 would have gatheredat a wine bar, using bowls of olives or bottles of balsamic vinegar, but the reality is much less glamorous.

"The place we went to the most was the masseur's room at the [old] training ground at Harlington," Poyet said. "In the morning, an hour or an hour and a half before training, the main group was always there, talking about football situations or problems or fixtures. We would sit around the table that someone was having a massage on.

"The masseur was Terry Byrne, who became David Beckham's personal assistant after the problems he had in Spain with [Rebecca Loos]. It wasn't a spectacular room, but it was one of the best rooms I've ever been in in football."

Poyet had not realised that he was in a finishing school


for managers until Vialli was promoted from the ranks to replace Ruud Gullit in February 1998. "He was sitting next to me in the dressing room and then the next day he was my manager. I thought: 'Wait a moment, this can happen to me as well if I want it'. So I started to pay closer attention to decisions, training sessions, tactics, fitness, getting ready to think about things a player doesn't."

Poyet is pleased that his friend Di Matteo was the first manager to bring the Champions' League trophy to the Fulham Road. "So many managers tried to achieve that trophy that was so important to the club, they won the [FA] Cup or the Double, [Jose] Mourinho, [Carlo] Ancelotti, but Robbie did it in three months.nothing happened. Then in April, Dr. Dorr, who was a highly paid consultant for Zimmer, sounded an alarm to colleagues in a professional association and soon heard back from doctors with similar experiences.

Last week, Zimmer announced it was suspending sales of the device, known as the Durom cup, until it trained doctors how best to implant it. The company said a “low” percentage of the 13,000 patients who got the socket would need replacements, but some doctors fear the number could reach into the hundreds.

If those patients lived in other countries where artificial joints were tracked by national databases — including Australia, Britain, Norway and Sweden — many might have been spared that risk. And Zimmer might have suspended sales of the cup months ago.

But the United States


lacks such a national database, called a joint registry, that tracks how patients with artificial hips and knees fare. The risk in the United States that a patient will need a replacement procedure because of a flawed product or technique can be double the risk of countries with databases, according to Dr. Henrik Malchau of Massachusetts General Hospital.

Experts say that the United States wastes billions of dollars annually on medical treatments which may not work. But the financial and human consequences are also large when evidence exists but is not collected.

The toll of early device replacement is magnified here because of the sheer number of procedures that take place in the United States. Nearly one million hips and knees were used last year, about half of the world’sprogram.

Last year Dr. Dorr, alarmed by a rash of problems in patients like Mr. Csengeri, first contacted Zimmer about the Durom cup. X-rays showed that the socket was separating from bone, rather than fusing with it. For patients, who had been told their new hips might last 15 to 20 years, it meant agony as the metal cup moved around in the hip socket and rubbed against bone.

Earlier this year, after Dr. Dorr urged Zimmer executives to stop selling the cup, they told him the fault was in his implantation technique, not their product — the same response he received years before from Sulzer executives. That is when he decided to alert colleagues at the American Association of Hip and Knee Surgeons.

In late May, Zimmer informed surgeons that

Season-in-Review: Cavaliers' Second Unit

May 15, 2013

Season Overview: With the Wine and Gold weathering another injury-plagued season – losing a combined 171 games to injury in 2012-13 – the team’s second unit was frequently different from week to week. But through the second half of Cleveland’s season, the Cavs bench was one of the team’s true strengths.

The rookies took their turn coming off the bench. Tyler Zeller started the season with the second unit and Dion Waiters finished the season there after returning from an injury. In a mid-season stint with the second unit, Waiters notched his first 30-point game, scoring 16 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter against Sacramento – becoming just the third Cavalier (after Mike Mitchell andDerek Anderson) to net 30 points off the bench.

About a week after Dion’s breakout game, GM Chris Grant made the biggest move of the season, trading little-used forward Jon Leuer to the Memphis Grizzlies in exchange for Marreese Speights, Wayne Ellington, Josh Selby and a future first-rounder. Selby was assigned to Canton, but Speights and Ellington joined holdover veterans Boobie Gibson, Omri Casspi and Luke Walton – along with CJ Miles (signed in the offseason) and Shaun Livingston (inked on Christmas Day after his release by Washington).

Speights went on to tally at least 10 points and five boards in his first seven games in Cleveland, a first in franchise history. In his 38 appearances off the bench, Speights averaged 10.2 points and 5.1 boards as a Cavalier.

Ellington came


off the bench for most of his first two months in Cleveland. But injuries forced the former Tar Heel into the starting lineup for the final 15 games. He did well in those starts, averaging 11.3 points per contest and netting double-figures in 10 of the 15.

Overall, the second unit’s point production increased exactly 10 points (26.0 ppg-36.0 ppg) after the duo arrived.

CJ Miles was the group’s most consistent performer all season. He came off the bench in 52 of his 65 appearances, averaging 11.2 ppg – second-best mark in his career. The Dallas native also canned 126 treys on the season, his career-best. His best single-game performance with the second unit came on December 29, when he became the first Cavalier in team history to hit eightthree-pointers off bench – going 8-for-10 from long-distance against Brooklyn.

Luke Walton was also one of the second unit’s rocks all season. He brought some much-needed veteran leadership to the young Cavaliers and was the team’s best distributor off the bench – averaging 4.5 assists per game after January 22, leading all Eastern Conference bench players during that span.

Cleveland got other contributions from their reserves sporadically all season. During an early season run, Daniel Gibson notched double-figures in six of eight games off the bench. Omri Casspi had a similar run early in the season before being sidelined by an emergency appendectomy. Kevin Jones spent much of the season between Canton and Cleveland, but showed some serious promise in the final few weeks of the season.

The Cavaliers will be


Cynthia occupies.
	Robert learned that Cynthia planned a trip out of state.  After Cynthia left for her trip, Robert
hired a locksmith and entered Cynthia's residence to search for the documents she said had been
destroyed.  Robert was accompanied by his lawyer, J. Bennett White, and his lawyer's legal
assistant. (2)  While they were inside the residence, Robert made still photographs and White's legal
assistant made a videotape of the contents of the residence.  Robert located some of the documents
Cynthia had said were destroyed and removed some documents and personal items from the
residence.  Several days later, Robert filed a motion requesting sanctions for Cynthia's failure to
produce the documents he had found.  Cynthia then filed a motion to disqualify White alleging that
he could not continue to represent Robertpresent
location of the documents taken from the residence.  He also attempted, albeit unsuccessfully, to
elicit from White a concession that White would be a necessary witness on Robert's behalf in future
proceedings.  Robert contends that this testimony did not show Cynthia would suffer actual prejudice
from White's service as both advocate and witness.  We agree.
	Nothing in the testimony presented pertains to whether Cynthia would suffer actual prejudice.
Cynthia's lawyer argued that White was disqualified because his testimony related to an "essential
ingredient" of the fraud allegations.  He also argued that White's testimony was necessary because
White himself had said that his presence in the residence was necessary in case Robert was accused
of taking or destroying something while he was there.  However, he did not argue that


actual
prejudice to Cynthia would occur if White served as both advocate and witness.
	In this proceeding, Cynthia concedes that Sanders and its progeny require proof of "harm."
She then maintains that she has suffered "procedural harm" because Robert and White withheld the
documents Robert removed from her residence in clear violation of the discovery rules and "real
harm" because her home was invaded.  However, this "harm" relates to the conduct that precipitated
the motion to transfer, not to White's service as both advocate and witness before the trial court.  	To prevail on her motion to disqualify White under Rule 3.08, Cynthia had the burden to
show that White's testimony was necessary to establish an essential fact on Robert's behalf and that
she would suffer actual prejudice resulting from White's service in theCOLUMBUS — Columbus Crew forward Federico Higuain was voted Major League Soccer Player of the Week by the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) for Week 11 of the 2014 MLS season.

In a high-scoring shootout Saturday night, Higuain had a hand in all three of the Crew’s goals in the 3-3 draw at the Portland Timbers, including one of his most sensational strikes in Black & Gold. Higuain opened the scoring for the Crew in the 14th minute of play with a fantastic chip from 25 yards out that kissed the crossbar before landing in the goal, earning him an MLS Goal of the Week nomination.

WATCH – Higuain’s chip goal in Portland

In the fifth minute of first-half stoppage-time, Higuain calmly converted a penalty kick after defender Giancarlo Gonzalez was


fouled in the area, giving the Crew a 2-1 lead at halftime. In the 81st minute, Higuain capped off his night with an assist, as he found teammate Ethan Finlay on the right side of the 18-yard-box. The forward fired a shot, which deflected off a Timber player and into the net, securing a valuable road point for the Crew.

Higuain’s two-goal performance on Saturday was his sixth such effort as a Crew player, placing him fifth all-time in club history in that category. The two goals also gave him 22 strikes all-time for Columbus, moving the Argentine into ninth place in club history, one behind Brian Maisonneuve for eighth. Higuain added an assist in the contest, marking the first time in his MLS career that he directly factoredinto three goals in one match. He also became just the fourth MLS player in 2014 to record two separate matches with at least two goals, joining Bradley Wright-Phillips, Clint Dempsey and Dominic Dwyer.

SOCIAL SPOTLIGHT – Twitter reacts to Higuain’s strike

Since joining the Black & Gold midway through the 2012 campaign, Higuain has been a revelation for the Crew attack, contributing 22 goals and 19 assists in MLS play. He has started 51 of 53 possible MLS contests for the Crew, and has received numerous accolades, including Major League Soccer’s 2012 Newcomer of the Year Award and the club’s 2013 Barbasol Most Valuable Player honor. Thus far in 2014, he leads the Crew in goals (6) and is tied with Hector Jimenez for the team lead in assists


a big dark echoing space engulfed in cigarette smoke and finding the evil queen’s transformation scene quite terrifying. None of that put me off however as I then spent most of the 60s and 70s sitting in giant cinemas with chewing gum on the seats, belligerent usherettes and billowing clouds of fag smoke in the projector beam. That was the time when broadcast TV could only show films 5 years after release so you had to go to the pictures if you wanted to see anything remotely current. Also as I lived in a fairly large town in Scotland we had several cinemas to choose from but we still had to wait ages to get the new releases as everything was shown first in London. The exceptions wouldbe big seasonal releases which would hit Glasgow and Edinburgh first and I vividly remember being taken to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang in Glasgow as a Xmas treat which must have been in 1969. It was showing in the ABC on Sauchiehall Street (I think) when it was a single screen and I remember it being vast and crowded and I thought I’d burst from excitement. The film even came with an interval!

Other vivid memories of the time include, after having seen The Wizard of Oz in the mid-60s, being then taken to a black and white Freddie and the Dreamers film (!!) and loudly asking the adult who took me when it was going to change to colour - all the way through the film. The year


rather more now than I did when I was seven or eight.

I grew up in Church Crookham, Hampshire, which then and now has no cinemas, so when we did go it was to Aldershot. There was an Odeon and an ABC (which became a three-screen in 1978 and is now the home of the King’s Church).There was also the Palace, a listed building, where in its previous incarnation as a music hall Charlie Chaplin had made his stage debut at age five. In the 1970s it semi-permanently showed soft porn. It closed as a cinema in the early 80s and is now a nightclub.

The first film I saw in a cinema with anything other than a U certificate was It Shouldn’t Happen to a Vet in 1976. Thisthen cinema in Camberley for some reason showed a Nicolas Roeg double bill: The Man Who Fell to Earth and Performance. I’d seen Walkabout (on TV) by then, and had read about both films in books, so that was a must-see for me.

Returning to foreign films, watching The Lacemaker on BBC2 in late 1981 had created a taste for films with subtitles. My first in a cinema was Margarethe von Trotta’s The German Sisters (Die bleierne Zeit), in 1982, which was also the first film for which I took the train up to London - on my own - to see, and my only visit to the legendary Academy Cinema on Oxford Street.

Another trip to London, this time in 1983, was to see my first 3D film, Hitchcock’s
