The Patient support Centre located within KNH started off as a service for patients diagnosed with HIV and other medical problems that needed psychological support. Currently wider ranges of patients attend the Centre including those with purely psychological or social support. The study participants were recruited from two of these clinics; Clinic 24 and the Patient Support Centre. The psychiatric outpatient clinic runs once a week on Wednesday morning and roughly 10 new patients are seen each week. A similar number of new patients are seen at the PSC each week.

Mathare Hospital is a national psychiatric teaching and referral hospital. It was established in 1911 during British Colonial rule and is situated about 10 km from the centre of Nairobi (Kenya's capital city)It is time we talked about Boris. His failure to live up to his promises about opposing Heathrow just so he can remain foreign secretary is an act of cowardice and demonstrates, as ever, his utter lack of principles. But it is only the latest in a series of events that demonstrate his unfitness to be in politics. It is quite astonishing that through this all he retains his post as Foreign Secretary let alone representing the voters of Uxbridge, a part of West London where locals tell me he rarely ventures. He was clearly more scared of the voters there than of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

Johnson has long opposed Heathrow expansion. He even spent millions of Transport for London money developing the crazy idea of building a


four runway airport in the Thames estuary, which – like so many of his ideas – was unworkable and prohibitively expensive. Yet he is not prepared to stand up to his own party, let alone stand in front of the bulldozers when they raze hundreds of homes in the area.

Perhaps, though, his hypocrisy may just have snapped the patience of many of his fellow MPs. He has quite a few enemies in the Tory party, as illustrated by the statement from Sarah Wollaston, who said he should “put his money where his mouth is”. She added: “Just being conveniently out of the country I’m afraid won’t wash… Voters might expect him to use this as an opportunity to resign on a point of principle in order to fulfilill-designed bus that facilitates fare-dodging, has two staircases and has had huge technical problems. The bus was designed to have a conductor, but this proved prohibitively expensive and unnecessary in an age of Oyster and contactless payment. The final bill for extra costs caused by the need to develop the design and the high cost of purchasing the buses is likely to be in the hundreds of millions for a vanity project that experts warned against introducing.

The aerial cableway is hugely loss-making and attracts very few users apart from tourists. It cost £60m to build and runs at a heavy operating loss.

The proposed garden bridge is a scandal that is still unfolding. Contracts were signed by the private organisation developing it which have cost taxpayers at least £46m


and probably more. Yet, earlier this year, Johnson was unable to explain to the London Assembly oversight panel why he signed these contracts. The scale of the loss was all the more remarkable since no construction work on the project was ever started.

There is much more that could be used in evidence against Johnson, in particular his nodding through of planning permission for dozens of tower blocks in central London will change the nature of the city for the worse, as many of the flats and offices will remain empty as they are bought by foreign investors interested only in the increase in capital value.

Basically, he and his two sidekicks — a macho, light-skinned lesbian (Kiersey Clemons) and a polyracial goofball (Tony Revolori, the bellhop from Grand Budapest Hotel) — are into “white shit” that certain black people love, including Donald Glover, TV on the Radio, and good grades.

On May 8, 1990, Vancouver Police Officer Michael Taylor was driving from his workplace to his home in the Vancouver area. As he passed Larson's Country Market on Fourth Plain Road, he saw what hebelieved was his Chevrolet Blazer parked in front of the store. As Taylor slowed down to investigate, a person, later identified as T.R. Kisor, sped away in the Blazer in an apparent effort to flee. Taylor gave chase until Kisor abandoned the vehicle on a side road and took to the woods. The chase ended when Kisor fired a gun at Taylor and the owner of the land, Martin Wolf, and called out to them to leave him alone. Taylor then phoned the police from a nearby home.
Officer Thomas Mitchum responded to Taylor's call, bringing a tracking dog with him by the name of "Lucky". Mitchum released Lucky's leash, allowing Lucky to work "off lead". Lucky was wearing a police harness which contained several reflectorized straps and a


neck bell. Lucky appeared to find Kisor's scent and raced into the woods. About 10 minutes later Mitchum heard a gunshot. Lucky was later found shot dead. When Taylor returned to his residence he found that his house had been burglarized. Two guns and the Chevrolet Blazer were missing. Kisor was subsequently apprehended by Officer Douglas Ray, but only after a stand-off in which Kisor and Ray pointed loaded guns at each other.
A Clark County sheriff took Kisor's statement after his arrest. Kisor told the deputy that he saw something "out of the corner of his eye" come from behind a tree. Kisor described *613 it to the deputy "as a blur", and said he turned and shot one time and "saw he had shot a dog."
Kisor was"serious violent offense". A "serious violent offense" is defined in RCW 9.94A.030(27) as follows:
"Serious violent offense" is a subcategory of violent offense and means:
(a) Murder in the first degree, homicide by abuse, murder in the second degree, assault in the first degree, kidnapping in the first degree, or rape in the first degree, assault of a child in the first degree, or an attempt, criminal solicitation, or criminal conspiracy to commit one of these felonies; or
(b) Any federal or out-of-state conviction for an offense that under the laws of this state would be a felony classified as a serious violent offense under (a) of this subsection.
It is readily apparent that none of the crimes that Kisor was convicted of fall within the definition of "serious violent offense". Therefore,

Middlesbrough's Transporter Bridge celebrates centenary Published duration 17 October 2011

image caption The bridge celebrates its centenary on 17 October

Middlesbrough's Transporter Bridge is 100 years old.

The structure was officially opened on 17 October 1911 by Prince Arthur of Connaught.

Designed by Darlington-based Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Co, the bridge cost £87,316 to build.

The Grade II-listed Transporter Bridge, linking Middlesbrough and Port Clarence, is one of only six of its type still operating in the world and the only one in England.

At its peak in 1919, 5.1 million pedestrians crossed the bridge, compared to just 16,000 (and 120,000 vehicles) in 2010.

Often threatened with closure in the past, it is now seen as Teesside's icon.

The bridge has survived German bombing raids, been featured on TV and in films, and on the videonot complied with the Ali Act disclosures prior to being paid for Ward’s fights with Sakio Bika in 2010, Arthur Abraham and Carl Froch in 2011, and Chad Dawson in 2012.

MARION ZIMMER BRADLEY, MISTRESS OF
MAGIC

Generations pass away and others stand in their place since
the olden times. Men beget, women conceive, and every nose draweth breath. But
when day dawneth, their children are come in their place.

Marion was
born in 1930 and raised on an upstate New York dairy farm during the Great
Depression; when she was eleven, the United States entered World War II. Times
were tougher than we Baby Boomers can easily imagine. Her escape was her
imagination. The radio helped her escape into the world of opera. She escaped
into the world of books, first as a reader, then as a writer, eventually as an
editor. She made her first professional sale in her teens - she wanted to train
for an operatic career and planned to support


her training with her writing. She
then wrote for every possible market for years before becoming soundly
established as a science fiction and fantasy writer, singing for pleasure, and
remaining a life-long opera enthusiast.

Marion was a very, very addicted
reader. Her son once asked me what he could get the woman who had everything. My
answer was: "More bookshelves!" Marion's walls were covered with bookshelves
stuffed with books - the ones she had to have right under her hand. Lacking a
book, she'd read anything, including the backs of cereal boxes.

She had a
wonderfully well-stocked mind, and had memorized a massive amount of poetry,
song, and sheer miscellany. Her own writing she didn't memorize, but other
people did and often quoted it back to her, occasionally prompting her to wryly
recite the sequel to the Purple Cow poem:

"Ah, yes,her fiction were so carefully researched, so properly
used, and so internally consistent that many readers were convinced that she had
a psychic hotline to the Ancients. She adopted the response, "I'm not a Medium,
I'm a Large."

From science fiction to mainstream fiction; with her
husband's encouragement, Marion wrote about King Arthur from the point of view
of the women in Arthur's life, which hadn't been done before. She gave her
manuscript the working title Mistress of Magic, from Sir Thomas Malory's
description of Morgan le Fay. Knopf, the publisher, felt that any title with the
word "mistress" would lose sales, so the book was retitled THE MISTS OF AVALON.
Of course, it was Marion who was the mistress of magic; the magic of turning her
imaginary universes into words and inviting eager readers around the world to
share


them.

A major theme of many of the Darkover novels and many of her
mainstream novels, including FIREBRAND and MISTS, was the empowerment of women.
MISTS was hailed as a new classic piece of feminist writing - though not by
Marion. She defined feminist as politically active, and denied being one, but
she did more for healthy feminism than hundreds of bumper stickers ever
accomplished. Her "feminist" characters didn't insist on their "rights" without
accepting their "responsibilities." Not just feminism; she staunchly supported
all kinds of minorities. Homo sum: humani nihil a me alienum puto. Many
of her books presented non-mainstream people - and also non-humans - not as
monsters, but as likeable people living dignified private lives.

Marion
was a mistress of magic with words, and freely shared her passion for writing as
a craft skill. She gave seminars, shespoke to English classes, she led
workshops and judged writing contests. I don't know how many books were
dedicated to Marion - "without whom it would never have been written." Or how
many other books, in the author's foreword, mention Marion's inspiration or her
support or her interest or the author's literary debt to her. She regularly
demystified the craft of writing and the business of publishing. A favorite
saying of hers was "Anyone who can write a grammatical English sentence can
write a short story."About a Sympathetic Characterwho overcomes
Almost-Impossible Oddsby His or Her Own Effortsto achieve a Worthwhile
Goal.

There's some heredity in her writing, as well as environment and
craftsmanship. Marion was a direct descendent of America's first poet, the Tenth
Muse, seventeenth-century Anne Dudley Bradstreet. I don't think she knew that -
I think I forgot to


many were
commercially published in Darkover anthologies. When she first proposed the
idea, her publisher didn't think there would be much interest in stories about
Darkover by anyone other than Marion, but he agreed to a trial. Twelve
anthologies later, do you think he might possibly have been wrong?

She
started a second anthology series because previous sword-and-sorcery stories
always involved male sorcerers and swordsmen. She didn't see why women
characters couldn't or shouldn't explore this neck of the literary woods.
Readers must agree, because there have been sixteen Sword and Sorceress
anthologies published and the end is not in sight.

She started a
magazine, MZB's FANTASY Magazine, specifically to nurture and develop
talented beginning writers. She read every story in the slush pile, through the
very day of her final heart attack. Even her rejection letters were designed to
be helpful andto steer the aspiring writer toward a future successful
sale.

Marion valued her fans. She never forgot the days when she had been
one herself. A favorite story was of being accosted by two young German
students, one of whom managed to say, "Mrs. Bradley, you have many lovers in
Germany." His companion whispered to him and he turned bright red, and amended,
"many admirers." She couldn't resist responding, "I liked the first version
better."

For her household, Marion left explicit directions covering her
last illness, her disposition, and the service we are here today to celebrate.
Her instructions were carried out exactly. She wanted no stone, no physical
shrine to her memory. Her new home is beyond the stars, in the holy promise of
eternal life. This is the comfort of her friends, that though she may be said


Antonio Kiri Kiri says the last time he scored four tries in a match was back in under-10s rugby.

The Wellington defenders could not stop Antonio Kiri Kiri on Wednesday night, neither could a sore stomach.

The Manawatu Turbos flanker dotted down for four tries in the 50-28 win, but he almost did not take the field.

Early in the match Kiri Kiri told injured Turbos team mate Nehe Milner-Skudder, who was attacking as waterboy, that he may need an early finish to his third start of the season.

"About 10 minutes in I told Nehe to tell the coaches that I am feeling sick, I had a crook guts," he said. "I just said 'Look mate, I am not feeling the best. Tell them that if it is not going awaypasses from the same two men.

But this time he had a lot more work to battle his way over the line without crossing the touch line.

From there he said the chance of the hat-trick was in the back of his mind.

Two minutes into the second half he picked up the try from a close-range pick-and-go.

"I had a look at the defence and the second defender out was standing up on his feet so I saw the opportunity to dive at his feet," he said.

That try came with a little pain thanks to team mate Nathan Tudreu who accidently gave him a shiner in the post-try celebrations.

Kiri Kiri's fourth try came eight minutes from fulltime, but may cost him a couple of beers for the front rowers.

By that stage


back on the bench."

Kiri Kiri, who has been with the Turbos since his debut in 2012, is off contract at the end of the season and is still weighing his options for the future.

"I don't know where I see myself in the future," he said. "Super Rugby is the dream, but those sort of goals are fading away from me as I get a bit older so it might be time to start exploring other avenues."

He also has the option of trying to return to the New Zealand Sevens team who he debuted for at the end of last season.Quality inn near seneca niagara casino 2019-09

Sylvester Stallone's upcoming action thriller which is still untitled, it has been known as Headshot and Bullet To The Head, the second name coming from the graphic novel its based off of, has added three more cast members according to Variety. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Christian Slater and Holt McCallany have all joined the cast. The article also reveals that the already cast Sung Kang (Fast Five) will be taking over the role of New York Cop Eric Carlisle, the role that Thomas Jane (The Punisher) was fired from. The name of the character may be changed with the change of ethnicity in the character.

Akkinnuoye-Agbaje (G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra, The Bourne Identity) will portray a villain, a powerful attorney who's trying to cover up his scam to exploitpoor neighborhoods that have been ravaged by Hurricane Katrina and Christian Slater (Broken Arrow, 3000 Miles To Graceland) will play a mid-level handler in the New Orleans crime world. Lastly, Holt McCallany (TV's Friday Night Lights) will play a dirty cop who partners up with Sung Kang's character on an investigation.

Also cast in the film are Sarah Shahi (Fairly Legal), playing Stallone's daughter and Jason Momoa (Conan The Barbarian) playing a villain named Keegan.

Overall, the film revolves around a hitman (Sylvester Stallone) teaming with a young NYPD detective (Sung Kang) in a high-stakes investigation that leads all the way to the power corridors of Washington, DC.

It's hard to believe it was 25 years ago that SkyDome, now Rogers Centre, opened.

The world's first retractable roof stadium opened June 3, 1989, in a ceremony you have to watch to believe.

A key impetus for building SkyDome was a rain-soaked 1982 Grey Cup game at Exhibition Stadium. The few fans who didn't retreat to the concession in the second half chanted "We want a dome."

The SkyDome took two years to build, a process captured in this time-lapse video, also a marvel for its time.

Former SkyDome vice-president David Garrick spoke about those early days on CBC Radio's Metro Morning on Tuesday.

He recalls how city council required the developers to spend $1 million to "educate" people about how to get to the dome by transit. Instead of advertising, developersused the money to give free TTC rides to anyone with a ticket to a SkyDome event.

"We bought up the TTC for a month," said Garrick. "People just showed their ticket for that month and 53 per cent of Torontonians took the TTC for the month. Once the promotion was over, it dropped to 19 per cent. It did keep a lot of cars away."

Brian Purdy, who shot the time-lapse video of the SkyDome's construction, recalls how the building "came alive" when the roof slid open at night.

"The city was coming to life, we were very proud of it," he said on Metro Morning. "Toronto was becoming a real landmark around the world."

Since those early days the dome has played host to everything from U2 and Bruce Springsteen


to WrestleMania and UFC matches, Grey Cups, the World Series and NFL games.

When Rogers bought the building in 2005, the stadium's official name switched to Rogers Centre. Many still refer to it as the SkyDome, a name that came through a fan-naming contest.

"The World's Greatest Entertainment Centre" was the SkyDome slogan in those early years but as it was opening, the trend in baseball stadium construction swung toward retro-styled ballparks.

The dome has many detractors who consider it a cement pit with little atmosphere. Its defenders wonder aloud how many of those dome-haters would attend an early April Blue Jays game, when snow and sub-zero temperatures are the norm?

Garrick says it's still a great stadium and he's quick to praise Rogers for spending money on upgrades in recent years.

Scientists will retrace Sir Douglas Mawson's 1911-14 expedition to the Antarctica in November, the University of New South Wales (UNSW) announced on Tuesday.

A team of 46 researchers and would-be explorers will set out from Hobart, the capital of Australia's southern Tasmania island state, for a six-week journey to repeat measurements made by Mawson's team 100 years ago, including observations of the ocean, wildlife, weather, geology and ice cover, reported Xinhua.

"Antarctica remains one of the last, great unexplored regions on thr Earth. It is a unique place to monitor the health of our planet. We want to discover just how much has changed since Mawson's time," said Chris Turney, professor at the UNSW Climate Change Research Centre.

The 1.5 million AU dollars ($1.46 million) privately-fundedhis work were divided as to its merit. Even in his native France, one prominent critic speculated, half in jest and full earnest, whether the Nobel committee, by honoring Simon, had moved “to confirm that the novel has definitely died,” (an arrow Simon himself unfeathered by quoting in his Nobel lecture).

Simon is most commonly linked with a group of mid-20th century French writers known as the nouveaux romanciers, a group which included, most prominently, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Nathalie Sarraute, and Michel Butor. Marguerite Duras is also sometimes included, though she resisted the label. The aim of these experimental writers was to evolve a “new novel” which would subverted most of the tenets of the form as it had been received via the 19th century, including plot, character, motivation, and


setting, aspects which, to most writers and readers, seemed no less fundamental than the paper on which a book is printed. Simon, like Duras, protested the association, feeling the term itself was misleading. In a rare interview for the Paris Review, he clarified his position: “Since the majority of professional critics do not read the books of which they speak, mountains of nonsense have been spoken and written about the nouveau roman. The name refers to a group of several French writers who find the conventional and academic forms of the novel insupportable, just as Proust and Joyce did long before them. Apart from this common refusal, each of us has worked through his own voice; the voices are very different, but this does not prevent us fromdoomed unit and whose young wife is having an affair, or had one, with a jockey who works in his stables and who will later accompany him into battle, riding a horse just behind him. There is a dying horse in the stable where three of the soldiers wait out the night. Most abstractly, there is the recurring image of a dead horse, paradoxically covered in mud despite dry whether. Its first appearance, early in the novel, provides Simon with an opportunity to articulate his whole approach to the novel. The following passage I necessarily quote at some length:

and that must have been where I saw it for the first time, a little before or a little after we stopped to drink, discovering it, staring at it through


Madagascar, and before he was a year old his father, a career cavalry officer, became one of them. His mother brought the family to the home of a relative in Perpignan, a city not far from the Spanish border near the Mediterranean Sea. He was eleven when his mother died of cancer, leaving him in the care of his aunt. He credited the strict Catholic boarding school in Paris to which she sent him with definitively destroying his belief in God. Memories of those earliest years reemerged eight decades later in his final novel Le Tramway (The Trolley).

And it was the same the following summer, except that Maman was no longer there and during the month of October I no longer had to run to catch that fouro’clock trolley, having already returned to my school in Paris, which freed me from participating in the traditional autumn move which brought my family to town and from having to listen to the traditional lamentations of my aunt whom this annual return plunged into an ostentatious collapse renewed each year when after four months in the country she found herself back in what she called her “tomb,” i.e. the huge apartment which, though overlooking spacious courtyards and a spacious garden, was, it is true, darkened by the branches of a huge acacia tree;

In 1940, after The Battle of the Meuse, Simon was taken prisoner by the Germans. He managed to escape and joined the the resistance movement.

His first direct involvement with armed conflict came in 1936 when his


sympathies with the Spanish Republicans drew him into the Spanish Civil War. But it was with the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939 that he had his most dramatic experience of war’s absurdity. Like his father, he was drafted into a cavalry regiment, the 31st Dragoons. In a further mirroring of the past, the regiment was sent to the exact same area of the front where his father had been killed twenty six years earlier. One can only speculate that the resonance between his father’s experience and his own launched in young Claude a search for meaning which he finally had to abandon in favor of “not wondering how, merely realizing that”. This kind of repetition, of scene and circumstance across generations, was to become aBarefoot Power brings solar lighting to off-the-grid areas in East Africa

Sklar Hast, the protagonist, had achieved a measure of success and prosperity by passing his examination to be a “Hoodwink”, or semaphore tower operator – a prestigious position on the Blue World, a planet with no land at all. During the space of twelve generations, the descendants of a crashed prison ship have created a rudimentary civilization on the water-covered planet, living on huge sea plants. They also have no idea that their ancestors were criminals, believing them to have been the victims of oppressors.

Thus, the performances of the premixture swing burner and the swirling corner in the rear portion of the combustion chamber are important factors concerned in decoding the quality of combustion. In a gas turbine combustor, the range of operation from partial load to rated load is wide and any combustion would not be of any value unless the swirling burner shows a stable and

Based on the success of storage virtualization, the IT Services Division began eyeing similar virtualization technologies with the hope of eliminating a large number of physical servers.

Quick Payoff

After evaluating virtualization technologies and building an environment to support virtual servers, the team rolled out a server virtualization pilot project in late 2005. As summer 2006 approached with record-breaking temperatures, the need to accelerate the pilot literally heated up when power, cooling and floor space reached critical limits in the primary data center while the IT Services Division awaited planned capacity upgrades.

The lab gained efficiencies in cooling because virtualization allowed it to radically reduce its cable installation beneath the data center’s raised floors.

Not heard 'round the world / Flemming's microphone goes dead during call

Michelle Smith, Chronicle Staff Writer

It was not the moment for posterity that KNBR had in mind, but it was unforgettable nonetheless.

KNBR broadcaster Dave Flemming was making the call on Barry Bonds' historic 715th home run Sunday when his microphone went dead, leaving the radio audience with crowd noise for more than 10 seconds until fellow broadcaster Greg Papa rushed on the air to pick up the proceedings and describe the achievement.

"If you'd only heard the rest of it, it was an unbelievable call," said Flemming, who was initially unaware that he wasn't being heard over the air. "It's too bad we don't have proof. I have to joke about it becauseJulia Allison's exploits are regularly covered by the online publications Gawker and Valleywag, who complain that she wants attention, then give her the attention in the process. Why? She's a great example of self-promotion.

be a sure-fire hit. J.J. Abrams, who directed the movie and co-produced it, and his staff aimed for a mix of realism and Star Trek and hit it right on the money.

I do hope we can see William Shatner in it, but I understand why he made this difficult -- he'll be sorry. But I hope he's in it with Leonard Nimoy.

What the hell was Leonard Nimoy doing singing this stupid song? Well, according to Wikipedia,..

"The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins" is a song composed by Charles Randolph Grean and performed by Leonard Nimoy, telling the story of Bilbo Baggins and his adventures in J. R. R. Tolkien's novel The Hobbit. The recording originally appeared on The Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy (Dot Records Cat. DLP 25835, 1968), thesecond of Nimoy's albums on Dot Records. It was also released as a single (Dot Records Cat. #45-17028), backed with a "modern thought-image" folk song called "Cotton Candy".

Well I guess that explains it, but I'd still like to talk to Mr. Nimoy about that one! LOL

I had the pleasure of meeting Ernie Hudson at the 2007 WonderCon earlier this year. In this interview, Hudson, who's website is at http://www.Ernie-Hudson.com, talks about fame, the Black Actor, and Hollywood.

Christian Bale goes on another profanity-fueled rant where he exhibits the alleged anger management problem that lifted it's head during the week of the premier of The Dark Knight. So I guess we can say The Dark Knight really is a Dark Knight. But why? What's up with this great acting talent?

Stand up to bullies by. . . being a bully?

Today was one of the fairly-frequent Bullying Awareness Events that school boards across Ontario (and presumably in other provinces) participate in. The idea was to wear pink, to celebrate the students in Nova Scotia who stood up for a bullied new student by showing up dressed in pink, the day after the new student had been bullied for wearing that colour. It’s a heartwarming story of solidarity and support and I’m very glad it happened.

I’m far less happy with the Wear Pink days that have come out of it.

is the only index component in which the US falls short of the top position, coming in second behind the UK. That may well change in future with the impact of Brexit, if/when it goes ahead, on reducing the operations of banks based in the UK, especially with regard to the rest of Europe, an important part of their business. But it was true at the end of 2018. While banking activity in the US is much bigger than elsewhere, a large portion of it is oriented towards the domestic US economy, so does not count in this index calculation.

The China-Hong Kong relationship emerges again in how to deal with the data for international banking. Hong Kong has a slightly bigger international banking sector than China, having initiallyit had been throughout the previous century. Its objective is to find a means of surviving in a hostile world economy run by the major capitalist countries.

Initially, this had disastrous results, as with the ‘Great Leap Forward’ in 1958-62 and millions of deaths by famine. By the 1970s, however, China began a cautious engagement with the world economy. It aimed to limit the impact of market forces in special economic zones, restricted the influence and property rights of foreign businesses, held back the formation of a domestic capitalist class and tried to build the foundations of an industrial economy through state spending and investment plans. Despite many negatives, including lots of pollution and wasted resources, this proved to be successful. It brought hundreds of millions of people out


investments worth several hundred billions of dollars, in contradiction to US edicts. By incorporating Iran into its mega development project, the Belt and Road Initiative, China is not only ignoring US sanctions, it will also be dealing with Iran in non-US dollar currencies. This puts a further squeeze on US global influence and is another threat to its formerly unrivalled hegemony.

Nabil Abu Rdeneh, a spokesman for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, condemned the latest settlement plans, saying they would “promote extremism and terrorism,” according to the Times of Israel.

On Sunday, Netanyahu had his first phone call with Trump since he became president. The two leaders discussed ways to “advance and strengthen the U.S.-Israel special relationship” and to increase security and stability in the region, the White House said.

Footballers who may soon be sold by Arsenal

The former Chelsea goalkeeper achieved a massive feat last weekend as he became the first goalkeeper to keep 200 clean sheets in the English game. Cech has been a great servant to the Premier league, first with Chelsea and then with Arsenal. The towering goalkeeper was at times Arsenal’s best player this season; however, he has been guilty many times as well. The goal he conceded against Swansea was so unlike Petr Cech. Now 35, Cech is unarguably in the twilight of his career and therefore, the Gunners could be enticed into replacing him. Big Pete though is a huge presence in the dressing room and Arsene Wenger must be wary of letting go off one of the senior players.

4) SantiCazorla

On his day, one of the finest midfielders, Santi Cazorla has had terrible luck with injuries in recent seasons. In fact, it is hard to even remember properly when exactly the Spaniard last played for the Gunners. His presence on the pitch has been a huge miss for the club, as he is one of the most consistent players and exudes much needed confidence. His absence has certainly added to the pressure on Mesut Ozil, with the Turkish now the only real creator in the Gunners’ lineup. With injuries taking its toll, it is about time, Wenger invests heavily in order to get a suitable replacement for their midfielder.

3) Per Mertesacker

The German is set to bring end to his career at the end of the season, having won


The goal he conceded in the league cup final aptly describes Mustafi’s game when he missed a shocker letting Aguero through. He has been one of the worst performers this season, and Wenger surely needs to replace him.isn't to say there are no bigots among the law's supporters. There surely are, along with many who support the measure's stated aim of harassing illegal immigrants to the point that they leave the country voluntarily, a strategy the law's framers call "attrition through enforcement."

But these hardliners don't seem to be in the majority, because many of the law's proponents also support comprehensive immigration reform.

According to a poll commissioned by the Arizona Republic, 55 percent of repondents in the state endorse SB 1070, yet 62 percent support "allowing immigrants with no criminal record to remain in the United States." Indeed, according to Lake Research, those who support the Arizona law are actually more likely to support comprehensive reform, and more than three-quarters of them do.

Other ways home

As I sat out in the hot Baghdad air, waiting for my flight out of that country I reflected on the journey behindthe United States- a mother, a father, a wife, perhaps children, nieces, nephews, Aunts, and Uncles, neighbors- being told that their loved one was returning home that week. The sorrow, the pain, the loss, the pit in the throat that moves to the stomach. I thought of the soldier-now a spirit- perhaps accompanying his body, sitting there on the plane with us.

The plane was very warm and all of us were sweating. The linguist next to me (also headed home) was very frustrated because our flight was not going to make it in time to connect to his commercial flight from Kuwait and he would have to rebook it. He was obviously frustrated and at times threw his arms up in despair.

We would first have to land at


very tired. The plane came to a complete stop and all the engines were turned off. An Air force crew on the ground flanked the back of the cargo ship after our luggage pallet was taken off. Then six soldiers boarded the plane from the small door in the front where we had entered, and they walked down the isles where were we all seated. The artificial lights from the plane made the flag all the more bright. The six men stood at attention on either side of the coffin and as instructions were given, all together they reached down, picked up the flag draped box, turned on que, and marched with the coffin, down the ramp and placed it in a cargo truck waiting behind the plane.Sunday School. In the same year start another war (Iraq-Kuwait) and in 2nd August 1990 they get us again with that war and finished in 1991. After that our life began worse and the economy get worse in Baghdad too. Then I must find another job in another country. I find job in Jordan 1993 mechanical cars and get money to feed my family. In Jordan I see my old friend in high school in Kuwait. They are member in the LDS church. They invited me to visit them in the church, but in the first time I didn’t care about the church because I have no time for church- just work. In 1998 I returned back to see my family in Baghdad and give them money. In


Chase at the five-day stage, a race which Elliott won with a similar type in A Toi Phil. His method of training – his horses are aimed at winning maidens and going on from there – is hardly conducive to landing handicaps and while he will likely run such horses in handicap company as the season goes on, particularly at Punchestown, there is a chance that the bird will have flown. Elliott, of course, is having an A-plus season in valuable handicap chases, winning the Galway Plate, the Kerry and Munster Nationals, the Troytown, Paddy Power, and Dan Moore along with the Leopardstown Chase.

How Mullins responds to the Elliott challenge will be interesting. Will he adapt, or stick to proven methods? Adapting is not as easy as itseems with many trainers over the years trying and failing to change what they are good at, but then Mullins is not your typical trainer. It’s actually less interesting to consider what Elliott will do as the answer seems simple: he will run his horses out, again and again, as he has done throughout his career.

Certainly when it comes to races at the end of the season, he seems the one that is more likely to engage in pot-hunting, giving a horse an extra run that it otherwise may not have had, though Mullins did do some of that last year when trying to win the UK trainers' championship.

Another area where Mullins has pulled back markedly is with his runners this season in the UK. In fact, Un

Steve Riggs (right) accepts the Special Service Award on behalf of his late father.

Indianapolis IN, June 16, 2015 –The Indiana Dental Association (IDA) has posthumously awarded Wendell A. Riggs, MD, of Lafayette, Indiana the 2015 Special Service Award. This award recognizes non-dentists who advance the objectives of the health profession in general and/or the dental profession in particular.

Dr. Riggs was a pediatrician who served the Greater Lafayette community from July 1963 to the mid 2000s. He was noted for his foresight and tireless effort to realize the foundation of a community health clinic in Lafayette that was needed to serve the working poor. The process of developing the clinic began in 1984 with a small grant from the State of Indiana. By 1988,a free-standing facility had been established that included a dental clinic for the lower income/uninsured members of the Greater Lafayette community. What began with the volunteer service of several local dentists to staff the clinic has grown to a full time dental staff.

“Dr. Wendell Riggs was responsible for many notable services through his professional career,” says Dr. Brett Henrickson who nominated Dr. Riggs for the award. “Certainly, Dr. Riggs is a worthy recipient of this Special Service Award.”

In 2009, the clinic was renamed the Riggs Community Health Clinic in honor of its visionary creator, Dr. Wendell A. Riggs. The Special Service Award was accepted by Dr. Riggs’ son Steve.

In early August a letter was sent to all members of Congress noting the impending 70th anniversary of fluoridation and detailing why it is important to provide the benefits of fluoridated water. In the first week of September, an “action alert” was sent to those member dentists who often write Congress about dental issues.
