by means of a grist mill. This is done so the sugar contained in the grains can be extracted more easily. The crushed grain is known as grist, and will be mixed with hot water in a large round vessel known as a mash tun, typically made of copper. Inside the mash tun, the water and grist will be mixed by means of rotating rakes. This ensures the enzymes contained in the grain will convert the remainder of starch into sugar, which ends up in the water (wort), which is drained from the mash tun, and collected in the worts receiver.

A Mash tun

Generally, three to four washings are performed, where the temperature of the water increases with each washing in order to extract the maximum amount of sugarpipe that cools the vapor and allows it to trickle down. The size of the stills and the shape of the neck greatly influences the flavor and quality of the end product.

Most Scottish distilleries use different stills for each step of the distillation. The first distillation will happen in the wash still, and then travel further to be distilled again in the spirit still, which typically is much smaller than the wash still. The purpose of the wash still is to separate the alcohol from the water, while the spirit still removes the unwanted elements.

The condensed vapor leaving the wash still is known as the “low wines”, while the product of the spirit still is a combination of so-called foreshots (the very first vapours to reach the lyne

Landau (pop. 22,870 in 1950s, 41,821 in 2007), formerly a free city under French occupation 1648-1816, then a fortified city in the Palatinate, Germany (coordinates: 49° 11′ 40″ N, 8° 7′ 1″ E). There was very probably an Anabaptist group here as early as 1526, to whom Hans Denck brought a letter of recommendation from the Strasbourg Anabaptists after hisbanishment from Strasbourg. Johannes Bader, the reformer of the city, was probably not aware of their presence before his disputation with Hans Denck.

At Bader's advice the council decided to expel the Anabaptists from the city. Early in January 1527 an order was issued to all the guilds, making it a criminal offense to harbor Anabaptists. In the same month the mayor notified the authorities that "Jakob Kremer has a maid who was baptized at Rott near Weissenburg (Alsace) about three years ago." On 26 April 1528 Georg Brauner, Wolf Hitschler's son-in-law, Master Lorenz, Peter Hammer, and Stoffel Lauinger with his wife and children were banished.

Story highlights An online petition with over 6,000 supporters wants to stop DeVos from delivering the commencement speech

University president Edison Jackson has defended the invitation

(CNN) A leading civil rights group on Monday called for the resignation of top leaders at a historically black university where Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is set to deliver the commencement address.

The NAACP Florida State Conference is urging the university president and board chairman of Bethune-Cookman University in Daytona Beach, Florida, to step down following the announcement of DeVos' speech last week.

The organization is claiming that faculty members have been threatened with termination and students could have their degrees withheld for speaking out against her appearance.

The university did not respond to CNN's request for a comment on the NAACP letter.

In addition, protests took placeby the Deutsche Bundesbahn from 1951.

The "DR" column displays the identification markings used by the East German Deutsche Reichsbahn from 1951.

Identification markings and livery
From about 1922, by order of the  Reich Transport Ministry (RVM), almost all goods wagons were marked with the name of their owner, "Deutsche Reichsbahn", the name of a so-called "class district" (Gattungsbezirk), a wagon number ( wagonnummer) and a category letter (Category letters). The wagon bodies were painted in red-brown livery (paint number 11a,29), the wagon roofs in light grey (paint number 47) and the chassis, railings, etc., in a black colour (paint numbers 14,24,33). In 1927 the DR switched over to standard colours (Einheitsfarben) based on the Deutsche Reichsbahn's RAL colour system 840-B, see here too. From 1942, most of the


Hillel turns on heat at Proven Sportfeva - School blows away rivals to take Clayfeva title

Hillel took the overall team title with 105 points, beating closest competitors American International School in Kingston, who tallied 50 points. Campion College finished third with 30.

Hillel students Nicholas Chen and Brandon Reid also took the boys 15-17and 13-14 age groups, respectively. Chen also took the overall title with a score of 64, with Reid finishing second (63) and Isaac Mair (62) third.

This was Chen's second consecutive title. He survived a Super Six shoot-off with the other top five shooters after the preliminary round.

"It was very difficult, especially in the shoot-off. Up until the last station I was only winning by one," he said after Sunday's event.

"The (clay) birds were very far and it took a lot of skill to get them. But I pulled it out."

AISK's Raiza Mair took the girls title over six other competitors. The other individual winners were Jean Pierre Dipchand and Joshua Meeks, who took the Beginners Group One and Two, respectively; and Peter Mahfood, who took the 10-12 age


group.

Tricky course

There were eight shooting stations, with each competitor getting 50 targets, except for the beginners who did 25.

Parents, shooting enthusiasts, and representatives of the participating schools agreed the course at the Jamaica Skeet Club in Portmore was of world-class standard.

Shooters described the course as tricky, with a challenging combination of low- and high-flying clay discs. There wasn't much wind, but the heat was a factor, forcing shooters to keep themselves hydrated.

Clayfeva has grown from 44 competitors last year to 72 this year, and rural schools, including Manchester High and Munro College, also participated.

"We're so glad to see it come out of the Corporate Area. We're spreading it into rural Jamaica, which is great," said Errol Ziadie, who laid down the rules for the shooters.

He reiterated the hopethat Jamaica could take its place internationally in the sport.

"We want to make sure that in the next couple of years we have representatives at any of the Olympic Games. That's our target. Pardon the pun!" he laughed.

Member of Parliament for East Central St Catherine Arnaldo Brown, speaking on behalf of Natalie Neita-Headley, minister without responsibility in the Office of the Prime Minister with responsibility for Sports, was of the view that the event taught the students self-control and the responsibility of handling firearms.

"The continual development of Jamaica's sporting culture benefits from competitions such as this one. It allows us to appreciate the diversity of sporting disciplines at which we can excel," Brown said.


Two admirable postwar poets, Wislawa Szymborska (born in 1923 in Poland) and Tomas Tranströmer (born in 1931 in Sweden), troubled by what they saw as the moral insufficiencies of both formal religion and Marxist optimism, have sought spiritual understanding outside organized institutions. Of course, few reflective persons who lived through the same period were exempt from such thoughts. But lyric poets, who may be as aware as any novelist of what is happening in society, must condense social questions into personal ones and must transform written language by giving it rhythmic breath and musical cadence. Both Szymborska and Tranströmer are poets of striking brevity: Szymborska questions the conventional movements of thought in our mental and social life, while Tranströmer meditates on the powerful unseen, unconscious forces that underlieI am grateful to Baranczak, Cavanagh, and Fulton (as well as other translators) for bringing me the work of these poets.

When I first read Szymborska, I was taken with her offbeat angle of vision; she treats bleak reality whimsically, mordantly. I thought sometimes of Emily Dickinson: just as Dickinson began with valentines and poems that were “appealing” in the manner allowed to nineteenth-century women, so Szymborska (in the earlier poems she has allowed to be translated, which come from her third volume and subsequent ones) sometimes begins in the fanciful tones of a reflective girl. In a poem called “Still Life with a Balloon,” for instance, Szymborska decides that at the moment of death, instead of seeing returning memories, she would prefer to re-encounter—so as to reject—“lost objects”:

Avalanches


worked to sprout leaves. I tried to take root.I held my breath to speed things up, and waitedfor the petals to enclose me.

The poet is left in her thirties with her “lone, nonconvertible, unmetamorphic body,” unsure that she will please any man. The poem on the facing page (“Four A.M.”) defines bleak dawn as “the hour of thirty-year-olds” who feel estranged from nature, chilled by the loss of love, and appalled by the actuality of death: it is

The hour when the earth takes back its warm embrace.The hour of cool drafts from extinguished stars.The hour of do-we-vanish-too-without-a-trace.

These lines mark the limit of the mournful tone in the young Szymborska, and she immediately turns on herself with a salutary astringency:

No one feels fine at four a.m.If ants feel finewhich present themselves to him as knockings, voices, faces, memories, tirelessly soliciting him. Most of us keep a well-defended wall between the haunted night of the mind and its rational day. For some, however, the wall is breached, and without their consent. When Tranströmer was a boy of fifteen, in a year of great physical change (“At the beginning of that autumn term I was one of the smallest in the class, but by its end I was one of the tallest”), he experienced an involuntary convulsion caused by anxiety:

Suddenly the atmosphere in the room was tense with dread. Something took total possession of me. Suddenly my body started shaking, especially my legs. I was a clockwork toy which had been wound up and now rattled and jumped

'Dettori's plan paid off' - analysis

BBC Radio 5 live's racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght

The way in which Frankie Dettori rode Enable - not arguing with her and letting her stride on - was a new tactic that was in theory potentially risky.

She was up in front, providing a target at which the others could aim, but as Dettori put it so well "she'll break [opponents'] lungs", in your language and mine "they didn't have a prayer".

When I was growing up in Oakland in the 1990s Gene Upshaw’s heyday had long since passed, but he was still beloved by Raider Nation and seemingly everybody involved in football. Ten, fifteen, twenty years after his Hall of Fame career he was still feted by Al Davis and the entire Raiders organization, and I doubt he was allowed to pay for his own meal anywhere in the Bay Area.

All of this is to provide the context for how surprising it was to read in the Washington Post about the relationship between the late Upshaw (he died of cancer in 2008) and his wife of 22 years, Terri. If there had been even a hint of this sordid tale involving two prominent Bay Area institutions, it would’ve beena big fucking deal. Instead we’re just learning about it now.

Terri Upshaw, formerly Terri Buich, is a member of the family that owns famed San Francisco restaurant Tadich Grill. Tadich Grill has been around since the gold rush days, and owned by the Buich family for the past 86 years. It’s the type of cigar, steak, and seafood place to land on a list titled, “10 of the World’s Greatest Old Dining Institutions.”

As a young woman in the early 1980s, Terri told the Post, she met and fell in love with Upshaw. They dated in secret for eight months before Upshaw became the executive director of the NFLPA, and asked Terri to move to Washington, D.C. with him. This necessitated telling her family about the relationship, but there

They described the food's heritage as deriving from "the middle of Italy, the Romagna-Lazio region, rich in seafood."


A stage invader interrupted British singer SuRie's performance at the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday night.

The intruder snatched her microphone as she sang her entry Storm and said "All the Nazis of the UK media, we demand freedom".

She later resumed her song and finished to rapturous applause.

After SuRie finished singing, host Graham Norton said: "She was doing a brilliant job anyway.

He later added: "We are still reeling, there was a stage invasion."

“Stray Dog”

Today on March 11, I saw the movie “Stray Dog” at the Duke Energy Center in downtown Cincinnati. The film is about a Vietnam War veteran (Ron), who goes by the name “Stray Dog”. Stray Dog was produced in a manner where he never spoke to the camera, and neither did anyone else. The camera crew strictly filmed Stray Dog and his interactions with people, in other words, was no acting in this movie. My opinions and thoughts on the movie


will be found in the following paragraphs.

The film takes place in 2014 at Ron’s trailer in Missouri. The movie centers on Ron and his wife, and the people that are close to them. This documentary shows how Ron is no ordinary war veteran. Ron is juggling many responsibilities. Some of these responsibilities include paying tribute to those that had lost their lives in all wars fought for the United States, helping those who struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, give advice to his granddaughters, help his wife reunite with her sons, and run a trailer park. There is a scene where Ron describes himself as not a good person, mainly due to his actions during the Vietnam War that he is ashamed of. He refuses to forgive himself,is trying to raise her two children. Ron states many times, that without his wife, he would not be able to do what he does on a regular basis because she supports him in every aspect of his life. There are a few examples of when she goes to see her sons in Mexico, and Ron struggles to do basic tasks at home without her.

Ron taking the initiative on his own to go help others, and change who he is as a person, is one aspect I really enjoyed about this documentary. His wife offers to get a job to help pay for her sons living in the trailer park with them. He turns down that offer, stating that having her at home is move important to him

Roof racks are well known and are manufactured in a variety of configurations. Typically, roof racks include a crossbar with a leg at each end of the crossbar, the legs being used to support the crossbar and attach the crossbar to the roof of a vehicle. The legs are spaced apart from each other a selected distance. Generally, the distance between the legs is determined by the width of the vehicle to which the roof rack is to be mounted.
A load or item may be attached to the crossbar. In one known arrangement, the crossbar of the roof rack includes a channel, which extends along the length of the crossbar. The peripheral surfaces of the channel are defined by a floor having two opposing side walls and awith this $100,000 cut, it's unlikely we'll be able to do any of that."

In 2010, the Legislature reorganized CODOFIL's structure, membership and mission "and the primary mission set forth in that law in 2010 was to develop more French immersion schools in Louisiana," says Arceneaux.

Before any cart goes a horse; likewise before any classroom a teacher must stand, which led to the question: "Who are we going to get to teach French in these French immersion schools?" asks Arceneaux, who then contacted the French government about sending American graduate students for schooling in France.

The French government loved the idea, says Arceneaux, and so along with the French Consulate in New Orleans, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in France "as well as colleges and universities in Louisiana to send


people to France," the goal of more French Immersion in Louisiana was pursued.

CODOFIL picked up the ticket for the round trip, as well as the graduate level tuition of the students at Shreveport's Centenary College the summer prior to their departure.

The idea of the program has its roots in Escadrille Lafayette, a squadron of 200 American pilots who were sent to France's aide in WWI.

"They wanted to honor the Marquis de Lafayette for his role in fighting for the American Revolution on the side of the American," says Arceneaux. "I asked the French government if they'd be willing to take, over the next five to 10 years, 200, not pilots, but potential teachers who'd come back to Louisiana and teach," says Arceneaux.

Plaintiff seeks damages in this negligence action for serious injuries he received in a motor vehicle accident. He was a passenger in an automobile operated by his wife, defendant Louise Kendall, when it collided with a bus owned by defendant Trailways, Inc. and operated by its employee, defendant Herbert Hicks. The jury found that Louise Kendall's negligence was the sole proximate cause of the accident. The effect of the verdict was devastating to plaintiff because his wife was uninsured. By finding that the accident was not also proximately caused by Hick's negligence, the verdict left plaintiff with no recovery. See Kendall v. Snedeker, 219 N.J. Super. 283 (App.Div.1987).

Superficially the verdict appears unexceptional. The vehicles were travelling in adjoining southbound lanes of a two-lane highway, the Kendall automobile inthe left lane and the bus in the right. When Kendall moved to enter the right lane in front of the bus, the bus struck the passenger side of her automobile. However, Kendall did not simply cut off the bus.

The bus was carrying passengers from Pennsylvania to the Atlantic City casinos. After crossing one of the bridges over the Delaware River, the bus entered the left lane of the highway behind the Kendall automobile. Hicks testified that he believed that Kendall was a nervous driver because from time to time for no apparent reason she briefly applied her brakes forcing him to slow down. The Kendalls testified that Hicks was tailgating and Hicks admitted that he was only one or two car lengths behind their automobile moments before


the accident. Although a witness testified generally that traffic at the time was moderate, the only other vehicles referred to specifically were three large trucks in the right lane, about a quarter of a mile up the road, that were hauling pieces of steel.

The events leading to the accident began when the three trucks moved in unison to the left lane. That maneuver dislodged a steel plate from the last truck's cargo. The plate, three and a half feet square and a half-inch thick, fell onto the

left lane and tumbled toward the Kendall automobile. As soon as Hicks saw the trucks move into the left lane, he moved his bus into the right lane. He gave two reasons for switching lanes at that time. At one point hetestified that it was because with the trucks out of the way he could pass the Kendall automobile on the right. At another point he testified that it was because he anticipated that Kendall would panic and brake her automobile when she saw the plate tumbling towards her. Soon after Hicks moved into the right lane Kendall tried to do the same and cut off the bus.

As a practical matter, the only issue at trial was whether Hicks was negligent to any degree when he either attempted to pass Kendall on the right or failed to slow down so that she would have room to move her automobile into the right lane ahead of the bus if she chose that way to avoid the steel plate. The question


overtaking and passing the vehicles in another line, either on the right or on the left."

There was no evidence that at the time of the accident the bus and Kendall's automobile were each in "substantially continuous lines" of traffic. The only other vehicles on the roadway that were referred to in the testimony were the three trucks that had moved from the right to the left lane a quarter of a mile up the roadway. The judge apparently read "lane" for "line" and interpreted the statute to permit passing on the right whenever a roadway has two or more lanes in the same direction. That is also the view expressed in State v. Janson, 205 N.J. Super. 606, 609 (Law Div.1985):

On the other hand, in six FETs of the rest of three half-bridge circuits, the FETs are sequentially switched one by one based on Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signals. Therefore, the current sequentially and intermittently flows in these half-bridge circuits.
That is, the time period of the turned-on state in the FET of the first half-bridge circuit is longer than that in the FET of the rest of three half-bridge circuits. Thus, the time period when the current flows in the FET of the first half-bridge circuit is relatively long.Despite being the hometown team, Maryland is considered a major longshot by most recruiting experts in its pursuit of electric receiver recruit Stefon Diggs.

The case was tried largely by stipulation, and the essential facts were not in serious dispute.  Michael lived in Texas and James, his older brother, lived in California.  They exploited their relation and the distance between them for a scheme that gave rise to the criminal charges.  With his older brother's cooperation, Michael had procured a driver's license that bore Michael's own picture but James' name.  At James' request, Michael used the altered license to open a Texas bank account.  Michael represented himself to be James Price and, as identification, showed the license to the bank employee inthe new accounts department.  Michael claimed to be the sole signatory for the account, signed the signature card using James' name, and did not represent he was acting for another.

Michael sent a book of checks to James in California, the checks being imprinted with James' name but with Michael's Texas address and telephone number.  James drew eleven checks on the Texas account totalling $28,500 and deposited them in various banks and savings and loan associations in the Los Angeles area.  On each check James signed his correct name.  Before those checks had cleared, James withdrew most of the funds from the California institutions.  The checks were overdrafts which the Texas bank refused to honor.  When the bank informed Michael of the overdrafts,

Never has a video game told such a gripping, unflinchingly human tale. And the gameplay, graphics, and artistry are nothing to scoff at either. It's fantastic game in every sense of the word. No game has ever made me feel the way The Last of Us did. I had fun playing it, but there was an ever-present gnawing in my stomach, an uncomfortable nagging reminding me of the heavy emotional toll the game takes on its players.

Breaking down the North Texas SC first half of the season depth chart

We're now approximately half-way through the inaugural season of USL League One and exactly half-way through North Texas SC's campaign. With 14 games in the books, it's time for another look at the depth chart, continuing where we left off early in the season. There have been a few significant changes, with players arriving and impressing.

Goalkeepers

Starting from the back and moving forward, we find Carlos Avilez as the team's first-choice goalkeeper. He's well in form again and looking like the same standout player from his academy days. Lining up behind him, we find recent signing Eduardo "Pollo" Cortes, returning to the FC Dallas Organization after a few journeyman years.

Behind the two "official" keepers, it gets tricky.has what it takes to handle the professional game. Bonilla and Gomez are both clearly being discussed as potential MLS players in the near future, with Almaguer also near that conversation.

Almaguer gets most of his minutes in the back line but he might be better suited moving to a central midfield role. When Jatta has played center back, Almaguer takes Jatta's usual spot as the 6 and looks really good. Cesar Murillo has also played as an outside back, particularly late in June, with two starts at right back, but he's firmly behind the other three.

those three, we find Gibran Rayo, who has just a single start, and while he's looked alright, there's far from enough information to confidently list him higher.

mobile-only dfpPosition2

Thomas Roberts has also played this position, getting thrown into the proverbial fire by Gonzalez, Quill, and Co., to develop more on the defensive side of the game. He looked firmly "not bad," with Quill praising his debut performance, and Roberts feeling confident in himself to handle that role as needed moving forward.

Moving forward (literally), we arrive at the players who occupy one of the two "dual 8" roles. Leading the charge is David Rodriguez. Rodrigy is just 17, won't be 18 until next May, and yet he's already one of the brighter stars in the young league. Due to somelingering injury issues earlier in the year, we didn't see David make his debut until the 5th game, but in his 6 starts (so far), he's got two goals, 13 chances created, and looks to be the primary offensive focal point for Eric Quill's squad.

Right up there with him, potentially tied for best free-roaming attacking player, is Tanner Tessmann. I've hyped on Tanner, Buzz has hyped on Tanner, and I don't think I need to go into it again, but suffice to say, I want him signing a contract this year.

Thomas Roberts is another one of those talents, and he's already scratching the surface of MLS, with three starts in league play.

Arturo Rodriguez, Rodriguez the Elder, began the season in central midfield, but a move to the wing


has brought out the best in him, with 3 goals, 5 assists, and a potential nod as league MVP.

Front 3

Onto the wingers, where the roster is deepest and most competitive. As with outside/wing backs, Quill likes to rotate wingers independent of their chirality, and with overlapping play and mid-match tactical adjustments, the distinction between left and right winger doesn't often apply with North Texas.

mobile-only dfpPosition3

Ronaldo Damus leads the charge among wingers, and goodness, can that kid play. He has 9 goals in 12 games played, 6 goals alone in his last 5 games, he's averaging just under a goal per 90, and leading the league's scoring race.

Rodriguez the Elder, Arturo, is commonly found opposite Damus, and as mentioned before, he's an early favorite for MVP.

Behind these two, weNorth Texas periodically through at least the end of 2019, but there's a real chance he moves to MLS full-time at some point in 2020.

Johan Gomez celebrates his first professional goal for North Texas against Orlando City B. (05-11-2019)(North Texas SC / Jack Wallace)

Ronaldo Damus ranks as the second choice forward, when Pepi is off doing MLS-related things, simply because of his offensive prowess, but quite often, Quill has gone to Johan Gomez centrally and kept Damus on the wing. Speaking of Gomez, he stepped in this summer when Pepi was either with academy teams, the MLS side, or the youth national teams, and fit in really, really well. He's not the sort of game-changing, backline-breaking, attention-grabbing player like Pepi or even Damus, but he's still developing and


reason the Chaffetz news was surprising is that he could have stayed on as Oversight Committee chairman through 2020.

He had vowedto investigate Clinton back in October when it appeared she would win the presidential election.

He’s now in the position of largely defending Trump, which perhaps made the Oversight post less attractive for the media-savvy lawmaker.

When asked by KSL on Wednesday what his top priorities were for the rest of his term as chairman, Chaffetz highlighted a focus on Utah's Bears Ears National Monument designation made by the Obama administration. What wasn’t mentioned? Any investigations into Trump or Clinton.

In explaining his decision, Chaffetz repeatedly cited a desire to spend more time with his family in Utah and return to the private sector.

He preemptively dismissed speculation that he was stepping down for health reasons, GOP leaders’ confidence in his ability to serve as chairman or fear that he could lose

approximately

250 grams of cocaine powder to the undercover officers.                All five

were arrested at the site of the sale, the Redbird Mall in Dallas.

In August of l991, a grand jury handed down a four count indictment

against the defendants. Campbell was named in counts one and four.

Watson was named in all four counts.

       Campbell was released on bail in November of 1991.                    While

Campbell was out on bail, an organized crime drug task force was

investigating a number of individuals in Brevard County, Florida,

near Orlando.     William Thomas Ray"they wanted us to get some subscriber information on the

persons' numbers that were being called in the Dallas area."

     In mid-January, Agent Ray's office served a subpoena on

Southwestern Bell and discovered Campbell's home phone number among

those listed.     About that time, the Florida authorities told Agent

Ray's    office   that   Claudette   Hubbard    (Hubbard),   a   cousin   of

Campbell's, was a target of the investigation.        Agent Ray's office

suspected a connection between Campbell and the Florida drug

investigation.

     On January 23, 1992, Campbell pleaded guilty to count four of

the indictment in exchange for being dropped from count one.


had to be worked out, and Mr. Theodore asked

Campbell to give a proffer of what he intended to tell the

government.       On the day the plea agreement was reached, Campbell

mentioned his knowledge about drug activities in Houston and New

York.    He did not mention knowledge of drug activities in Florida.

      In the latter part of February, Agent Ray told Mr. Theodore

about the Florida drug investigation. Because of the "new criminal

offense that [Campbell] was committing at the time," Mr. Theodore

decided not to grant Campbell use immunity.             Mr. Theodore further

testified that "I could not jeopardize that investigation and [give

Campbell's attorney the] information that I had receivedabout his

client."    So Mr. Theodore "did not relay any further information"

to Campbell's lawyer and delayed working on the use immunity

agreement.

      Shortly thereafter, in a letter dated February 27, 1992,

Campbell gave       his proffer.       He said that he would tell the

government information about drug transactions in Dallas, Houston,

and the State of New York.         Again Campbell did not allege that he

could provide information about operations in Florida.

      On March 10, 1992, the government received its first concrete

information that Campbell was involved in an ongoing drug offense.

The     Florida    authorities   intercepted


    and     recorded     a   phone

conversation      between   Campbell    and   Hubbard    in   which   the   two

discussed a drug deal.       Campbell was subsequently indicted in the

                                       4
Middle District of Florida on charges arising out of the Florida

investigation.

     The government never scheduled a debriefing meeting with

Campbell.     Nor  complete     information"       about

Campbell's "participation in and knowledge of criminal activities."

However, Campbell concealed information about his participation in

and knowledge of criminal activities.           When he entered into the

plea agreement, Campbell mentioned his ability to give information

about drug activity in Texas and New York, but made no mention of

his ongoing activities in Florida.             Similarly, in his proffer

letter, Campbell expressed willingness to give information about

drug activities in Texas and New York, but again concealed the fact

that he was involved in ongoing criminal activity in Florida.

Campbell continued this dishonest behavior by testifying that he

        Campbell argues that he has consistently asserted his
innocence, pointing out that he originally pled not guilty, and
that he maintained his innocence at the sentencing hearing and in
interviews with the Probation Department. However his brief in
support of his motion for leave to withdraw his plea of guilty
cited only the government's refusal to file a 5K1.1 motion in his
behalf. Moreover, these protestations contradict his assertions
that he is entitled to a reduction in his sentence for acceptance

his co-defendants, testified about Campbell's role in the drug sale

that precipitated Campbell's arrest. According to Officer LeCesne,

Campbell walked into the office of a beeper company and stood in

the window, surveying the Redbird Mall's parking lot. Watson drove

around the parking lot on a motorcycle.         When he finished, he gave

a "thumbs up" signal to Campbell.           Campbell then walked out to

where Watson had parked the motorcycle.


  He looked at a car driven

by Calahan, and motioned with his head to where Detective Benjamin

was parked.    Calahan then sold the cocaine to Detective Benjamin.

       Campbell testified that he was not organizing Calahan, Wright,

Watson, and Green.      He denied being present at the meeting at the

Stop 'N Go.    He said that he went to the mall to pay some phone

bills.

       The district court found that Officers Benjamin and LeCesne

were   "telling   the   truth."      The   court   found   that   Campbell's

testimony was not credible. The above evidence adequately supports

the8 BFP-11 officials face possible raps for Davao mall fire

Emergency personnel respond to a fire that broke out on the 3rd floor of the NCCC Mall in Ma-a, Davao City on 23 December 2017. . MindaNews photo by MANMAN DEJETO

DAVAO CITY (MindaNews / 11 January) – At least eight officials of the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) 11 may be included in the list of individuals that the Interagency Anti-Arson Task Force will hold responsible for the NCCC Mall Davao fire incident on December 23 last year.

In an interview on Thursday, Task Force deputy team leader and spokesperson Fire Supt. Jerry Candido did not disclose the identities of the fire officials pending completion of the investigation. He said some of them are still active while others have retired.

He


said the charges will depend on their involvement in the issuance of permits to the NCCC Mall Davao and Survey Sampling International (SSI), which secured fire safety inspection certificates despite failing to comply with fire safety standards.

He said the charges may include falsification of public documents, violation of Republic Act 3019 or Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, Article 365 (Imprudence and negligence) of the Revised Penal Code, and administrative charges such as grave misconduct and dishonesty.

However, Candido did not confirm if the relieved officials are in the list, as the reason for the relief is to prevent them from interfering and influencing the result of the investigation.

He said the mall and SSI failed to comply with fire safety requirements, which led to the death of 38 workers (37call centers agents and one mall key custodian) who were trapped inside the four-story establishment.

BFP-11 issued fire safety inspection certificates last April 2017 and September 2017 to NCCC Mall and SSI, respectively, after undergoing the annual fire safety inspection.

Candido said the mall did not comply with the fire suppression requirement after they found lapses in the setup of the mall’s fire alarm, sprinkler system, and fire exits.

Information Communications Technology Council president Samuel Matunog said SSI plans to resume and expand its Davao operations in 60 days and that they are looking for alternative spaces in the city where they can reabsorb almost 500 employees displaced by the fire incident.

He added the SSI, which had been operating since July 2008 on the fourth floor of the NCCC Mall Davao,


of wrestling and rugby (without a ball), it sounds more like one of those games we played as kids that involved charging at each other. Two teams of seven take turns to be on the offensive and defensive. Each controls half the court. The team on the offensive sends a raider onto the other side of the court to knock out (not literally) as many opponents as he can. The catch is that the raider must hold his breath until he is back on his own side, and the defenders will be doing everything they can to stop him getting there before he runs out of air.

7. Wife-carrying

This bizarre sport originated in Finland, which holds the international championships every year. Male competitors must carry their wives over aBoston Red Sox. A baseball team. It is directed by the geniuses behind Dumb and Dumber, with a script written by a man whose pen name is Babaloo. Stick with the British version.

Shockingly, Michael Sheen doesn’t play Tony Blair for the fourth (fifth?) time in this fictionalised version of Brian Clough’s time at Leeds United in the mid Seventies. He spends most of his time attacking his own team, his own team spend most of the time attacking him, and then he gets booted out. Actually, maybe Sheen is playing Blair again after all.

Slightly less plausible than Field of Dreams, this one sees Tom Cruise’s agent develop a conscience and walk out of his lucrative career because he doesn’t like how big business has corrupted sport. He’s followed


by a desperate single mother with a weird-faced kid and they all go on to make millions of dollars for Cuba Gooding Jr. But this money is good money, unlike the other money, which was bad money. You had me at vomit.

Watching many of Martin Scorsese’s films feels like being punched in the head for three hours, so here you can enjoy a little postmodern thumping watching Robert de Niro bleed in glorious black and white instead.

Clint Eastwood not only produced, directed, starred and wrote the music for this bleak boxing drama, he also made the sandwiches for everyone on set. Nice guy. He’s not in the sequel, which got released direct to DVD and starred Angela Lansbury and Dick van Dyke as two amateur detectives (one aword ‘stadium’ actually having come from the name of the race). Eventually the Ancient Olympics were extended to five days and incorporated multiple events. Most fell by the wayside in the intervening 1,500 years between the Ancient and Modern Olympic Games (most lamentably chariot racing), but the javelin and discus have both remained staple events, whilst others have evolved.

The stadion race

In case modern boxing isn’t brutal enough, the boxers of the Ancient Olympics could weight their hard leather hand coverings with metal for extra pain infliction. There weren’t any rules against hitting a competitor when he was down either. Matches had no rest periods and no time limits – they went on until one of the men gave up, or died. Killing your opponent was not advised, however,


their birthday suits. However, nudity was not in fact the official uniform of the Ancient Olympics for the first 50 years, only being introduced by decree in 720BC. The Games were partly about celebrating the human body, after all. Competitors would rub olive oil over their bodies, both for cleaning and aesthetic purposes. Only in one event was anyone allowed to wear clothes – the armoured race. But even then, the only armour they could wear was a helmet and shin guards. There was still plenty of flesh flapping around in the sun. Interestingly, the word ‘gynasium’ comes from ‘gymnos’ – the Greek word for ‘nude’.

There were no gold, silver or bronze medals for the winners in the Ancient Olympics, just a crown made from anshe expected to go for a corruption case!

Meanwhile, JSC nominee Justice Mohammed Warsame has refused to come before Parliament for vetting. He says because judges of the Court of Appeal elected him to sit on the JSC, Parliament has no business vetting him. The JSC is the only body Kenyans have to oversight the Judiciary. But apparently a judge nominated by his peers does not need to be vetted by the people’s representatives to check whether he is worthy of serving in the body that oversights one arm of government.

It also does not matter that Warsame, or any other member of the JSC, is not vetted by Parliament as a judge or member of their seconding organisation; but on whether they qualify to be a member of the


A passenger on a Southwest Airlines flight that made an emergency landing after an engine burst apart is suing the company, saying she has been suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder sparked by the carriers’ alleged negligence.

Lilia Chavez was sitting three rows behind the window that was shattered by shrapnel from the exploding engine. She says she witnessed the “horror” that followed when the cabin depressurized and pulled fellow passenger Jennifer Riordan part of the way out of the aircraft.

Ms Riordan, a mother of two, later died.

Ms Chavez, a California native, has argued in her federally filed lawsuit that she has been suffering from PTSD, depression and other personal injuries since the fateful flight.

“Ms Chavez witnessed the horror as the force of the depressurization pulled an innocent passenger partiallythrough the shattered window and she watched as passengers risked their lives to pull the passenger back into the aircraft and save her life,” court documents read.

The court documents continue to say that Ms Chavez prayed for her life during the 20 minute ascent into the Philadelphia airport.

Platform Embraces Bush's Approach to Education

Republicans drafted a party platform for adoption at their national convention in New York City this week that reflects in language and spirit the stamp that George W. Bush first placed on the GOP’s education positions four years ago.

At the same time, it includes a reiteration of traditional party stances on such issues as school choice and school prayer.

The platform “will also tell a story that we don't always feel has been told,” Rep. English said in an interview last week as the document was still being hammered out.

The draft platform calls for extending the reforms at the heart of the No Child Left Behind Act “up and down the education ladder,” from early-childhood education to the transition from high school to college. It also credits the president with having taken steps to improve college affordabilty—an issue on which Democrats have been sharply critical of the administration.

Core GOP Themes

The document also highlights several education ideas that have been party orthodoxy for years. It notes presidential and Republican congressional support for the expansion of parental choice through charter schools and


captions comfortable to read.
The number of closed-captioned programs increased dramatically in the United States because of new federal laws:
The landmark Americans with Disabilities Act (or ADA) of 1992 makes broadcasts accessible to the deaf and hard-of-hearing;
The FCC Order #97-279 requires that 95% of all new broadcast programs be closed captioned by 2006.
The TV Decoder Circuitry Act which imposes all televisions 13 inches or larger for sale in the United States to have a closed caption decoder built in.
In several other countries, legislation requires television programs to be captioned. On the other hand, digital video disks (DVD) have multi-lingual versions and often require subtitles in more than one language for the same movie. Because of the recent changes in legislation and new support for video, the demand for captioningand subtitling has increased tremendously.
The current systems used to produce closed captions are fairly primitive. They mostly focus on formatting the text into captions, synchronizing them with the video and encoding the final videotape. The text has to be transcribed first, or at best imported from an existing file. This is done in one of several ways: the typist can use a PC with a standard keyboard or stenotype keyboard such as those used by court reporters. At this point of the process, the timing information has been lost and must be rebuilt. Then the closed captions are made from the transcription by splitting the text manually in a word processor. This segmentation can be based on the punctuation, or is determined by the operator. At that point,


breaks do not make any assumption on how the text has been spoken unless the operator listens to the tape while proceeding. The closed captions are then positioned on the screen and their style (italics, colors, uppercase, etc.) is defined. They may appear at different locations depending on what is already on the screen. Then the captions are synchronized with the audio. The operator plays the video and hits a key as soon as the first word of the caption has been spoken. At last, the captions are encoded on the videotape using a caption encoder.
In summary, the current industry systems work as follows:
Import transcription from word processor or use built-in word processor to input text;
Break lines manually to delimit closed captions;
Position captions on screen and define theirThe Obama administration released illegal immigrants who went on to commit more crimes, including charges of 19 murders, 3 attempted murders and 142 sex crimes, the House Judiciary Committee said in a report Tuesday.

All told, 16 percent of the nearly 47,000 illegal immigrants the administration was notified of but declined to deport between 2008 and 2011 under its Secure Communities program have gone on to be charged with other crimes, the committee said.

They were part of the nearly 160,000 immigrants — most of them here legally — who were flagged by Secure Communities during the three-year period and who were later charged in nearly 60,000 more crimes, according to the committee and the Congressional Research Service, which looked at data the committee subpoenaed from the Homeland Security Department.

USDJPY: Trading the US Consumer Price Index News

The US Dollar (USD) extended upside movement against the Japanese Yen (JPY) on Wednesday, increasing the price of USDJPY to more than 124.20 ahead of some major economic releases which are due later in the US session. The technical bias remains bullish due to a Higher High and Higher Low in the recent wave on daily chart.

Technical Analysis

As of this writing, the pair is being traded around 124.26. A hurdle may be noted near 124.59, the 76.4% fib level ahead of 125.27, the swing high of the large bearish candle which emerged last week and then 125.89, the swing high of the last major upside rally as demonstrated in the following daily chart.

Toledo Reforms

The Toledo Reforms were a series of reforms implemented by Francisco Álvarez de Toledo to Spain's policies in the Viceroyalty of Peru in the 1570s.

The years 1533-1569 were considered the years of crisis and turmoil in the Viceroyalty of Peru. During these years there were several problems that emerged and that needed serious attention. The Spanish conquistadors found it hard to maintain order in the Andes.  The problems that emerged during this time were the New Laws of 1542 that were established by Blasco Núñez Vela and the weakening of the encomienda system. These laws were established to put an end to the exploitation of Amerindians by the establishment of a fair taxation system. This angered the Spaniards because they felt that it was a directfor the first, second, and third branches of the SLF were coronal sections through the superior, middle, and inferior frontal gyri, respectively, placed at the level of the posterior end of the genu of the corpus callosum. Posteriorly, a large coronal target mask in the superior parietal lobule, immediately posterior to the margin of the cingulate gyrus is used for SLF1. For SLF2 and SLF3, the second target masks are placed in the angular gyrus and supramarginal gyrus (SMG) respectively. In each case, seed placement reflects the placement of the second target whilst being moved anteriorly into the region of the central sulcus. For each protocol, an axial exclusion mask was placed underneath the parietal cortex and one blocking subcortical areas prevented leaking into ventrally oriented fibres. A

The target was placed posteriorly to the amygdala and stop masks were placed posteriorly and anteriorly to the seed and target masks, respectively. An exclusion mask prevented leaking into the fornix. The dorsal segment (CBD) was seeded just above the posterior part of the corpus callosum and had a target at the start of the genu of the corpus callosum. A sagittal exclusion mask in the anterior limb of the internal capsule prevented leakage into the temporal lobe. Finally, the peri-genual part of the cingulum bundle (CBP) was seeded anteriorly above the corpus callosum and a target placed below the sub-genual callosum with a stop maskplaced inferior and anterior to the target. A callosal plane at the level of the rostral end of the Sylvian fissure prevented leakage into the CBD.

An axial plane is used as a stop mask ventrally to the thalamus. The exclusion mask includes two coronal planes, anterior and posterior to the target, to exclude tracking to the prefrontal cortex and occipital cortex respectively.

The present invention relates to a seat belt retractor for winding up a seat belt onto a rotational spool.
A passenger car is normally equipped with seat belts for protecting occupants when the car experiences an abrupt deceleration. Such a seat belt device may include a pretensioner which takes up a predetermined amount of seat belt around an occupant in order to restrain the occupant with increased force when an accident such as a vehicle collision is detected.
Currently, there are various types of pretensioners in use. One known type of pretensioner includes a pipe, a gas generator disposed on one end of the pipe, a piston arranged in the pipe, and balls arranged in the pipe. The balls are moved via the piston by gas pressure produced by theinternal surface of the gear may be asymmetrical about a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the spool.

Uzbekistan geographically is landlocked but rich in history with the Aral Sea in the southern shoreline. It has borders with Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan. The country gained independence in 1991, following the break-up of the Soviet Union.

In fact, Uzbekistan is wealthy in natural resources and measured 1450 km from West to East and 930 km from North to South. The climate in Uzbekistan is mostly hot and long in summer and mild in winter. The country today is a democracy; however, since 1991 it has been ruled by President Islam Karimov.

But, there is one context in which Corbyn’s approach of talking with your enemies hasn’t yet been highlighted – in Syria, where it’s time to talk to Assad.

Heat wave delays tiger relocation in Sariska

Heat wave delays tiger relocation in Sariska

New Delhi (PTI) Unrelenting heat wave in Northern India has put a halt on Rajasthan government's plan to relocate a tiger from Rathambore National park to Sariska sanctuary with state officials preferring to wait till monsoon to execute the task.

"There was a proposal to shift second male tiger in the beginning of this month in the park. But it is now not advisable in view of intense heat conditions in the Northern state. The plan has been put on hold for at least next two months till monsoon," National Tiger Conservation Authority (NTCA) member secretary Rajesh Gopal told PTI.

Pointing to the reason behind the move, he said: "Tigers can suffer sunstroke or die


of five predators, three males and two females, have to be introduced by the end of this year as suggested by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII).

Sarsika lost all striped animals by 2004 to poachers and excess human interference in the sanctuary.

Last year, a tiger and two tigress, fitted with radio collar to monitor their movement, were successfully relocated from Ranthambore to Sariska, spread over 800 sq km with a core area of around 500 sq km.photographs and $80.00.  At a later date defendant, as he had promised, delivered to Martin in Mexico a forged alien registration receipt card which Martin used to enter the United States.  The defendant told Martin to go to the Suprema Cafe in Tucson.  He did so and found employment.  Defendant visited Martin at the cafe and collected the balance of the price of the false card and talked to Martin about Juan's card.

7
Juan, Martin's brother, met defendant in Nogales, Mexico, delivered some passport photographs, and paid defendant $150.001 for a false alien registration receipt card which was to be delivered to Juan in Tucson.  Defendant showed Juan a hole in the boundary fence through which Juan entered the United States.  He, too,


acting at defendant's advice, went to the Suprema Cafe, where he was employed.  The false card was delivered to Juan in Tucson.

8
We believe the evidence abundantly sufficient to prove that defendant did encourage Martin and Juan to enter illegally as charged in Counts III and V of the indictment.  We also believe that the evidence was more than sufficient to prove that defendant, either as principal or as an aider and abettor, caused the making of the false registration cards.

9
We have difficulty, however, as to Counts II and IV in determining the locus of the crimes, and as to Counts III and V, we believe, as hereinafter indicated, that the acts constituting the crime took place in Mexico.  Problems in jurisdiction and venue appear.

10
First, aslocality for the government's jurisdiction, but are enacted because of the right of the government to defend itself against obstruction, or fraud wherever perpetrated, especially if committed by its own citizens, officers or agents.  Some such offenses can only be committed within the territorial jurisdiction of the government because of the local acts required to constitute them.  Others are such that to limit their locus to the strictly territorial jurisdiction would be greatly to curtail the scope and usefulness of the statute and leave open a large immunity for frauds as easily committed by citizens on the high seas and in foreign countries as at home.  In such cases, Congress has not thought it necessary to make specific provision in the law that the locus


The effect of such crimes committed out of the United States takes place in the United States, and, in terms of the regulation of immigration, it is unimportant where acts constituting the crime occur.

15
Crimes punishable under the laws of the United States were committed, and the venue was properly in Arizona whether under 18 U.S.C. § 3238 or Fed.R.Crim.P. 18.

16
Counts II and IV of the indictment charge that the offenses were committed in Tucson, and the court charged the jury that it was required to find that the crimes took place in Tucson.  The jury made that finding although, in our opinion, it was not justified by the evidence.  Normally a judgment will not be reversed where a proper result is reached on the basis ofindictment, the aliens who testified in this case returned to Mexico, and the indictment was then dismissed on motion of the United States because it then appeared that there would be no evidence available to the United States to prove the charges.  When the aliens returned, defendant was charged in the indictment underlying this prosecution.  The previous case had not proceeded to the trial stage when the indictment was dismissed, and jeopardy did not attach.  We have no doubt that, had the Government dismissed the first indictment for the purpose of denying to defendant the use of witnesses that defendant now claims would have been available to him and had the case proceeded to trial on the first indictment or had the United States itself
