In the dark cloud covered sky, an explosive sound suddenly rang out. Then a winding lightning bolt as thick as a child's arm struck down, and the rain pouring down between the heavens and the earth grew heavier. For a moment, the borderless heavens and earth seemed like it was all a world of rain. Inside the courtyard, Zhuge Yuanhong, Teng Shou, Li Jun, and Xue Xin were standing on the veranda, and their four faces displayed expressions of worry that were difficult to conceal.

"Li Jun, relax. Qingshan has the help of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi. Moreover, he also has the wonderful treasure, the Grass of Immortality. Even if he can't kill his enemy, he can still defend himself. Additionally, as long as he manages to fleeto the Heavenly Cloud Mountain, he'll be fine." Zhuge Yuanhong said all this, but he himself felt that his words weren't persuasive. In his heart, he wasn't certain either.

Information about the Six Legged Bladelike Chi's bizarreness had long since spread around.

If the enemies had the audacity to come after the Six Legged Bladelike Chi and Teng Qingshan, then it meant that those enemies definitely had a way of dealing with them.

Li Jun softly stroked her belly, inside which there was a small life that had yet to be born. Inwardly, she said silently, "Qingshan, our child hasn't been born yet. I don't want my child to be born fatherless. Hurry up and come back. I beg of you, please come back quickly." There were tears brimming Li Jun's


eyes.

"Teacher."

Teng Shou and Xue Xin also raised their heads in silent anticipation.

They had no way of helping Teng Qingshan at all and could only silently hope and anticipate.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

The pitter-patter of that torrential rain pounding on the ground fell incessantly upon their ears, seeming as though the sound of this rain was the only thing existing in the world.

"You~~~" A resoundingly clear sound of a stirring happiness penetrated through the endless screen of water from an extremely distant place, directly reaching this inner courtyard.

"Little Blue's coming. Little Blue's coming!" Even ignoring the rain, Li Jun immediately rushed to the spacious and empty training field. She raised her head to look while letting out a string of hoots.

"Youyou~Youyouyou~~~" The voice of the Undying Phoenix, Little Blue, rang outagain. Simultaneously, a faint stream of fire-red light then rushed over at a flying speed amidst the rainstorm.

Li Jun suddenly turned her head, and her long hair, wet from the rain, flicked to the side gracefully with a spray of rainwater. Pleasantly surprised, she yelled to Teng Shou, Zhuge Yuanhong, and the others, "Qingshan is fine. He's fine. He's great." After yelling that, she raised her head back up toward the sky and saw several beams of light descending almost simultaneously into the training field beside her.

The naturally powerful pressure of the two giant fire-red divine birds that were immersed in flames, the Undying Phoenixes, stagnated the atmosphere all throughout the inner courtyard.

"Chichi~~~"

The surrounding rainwater immediately turned into vapor. This ordinary rainwater simply couldn't touch the Undying Phoenixes.


For a moment, quite a lot of steam arose from the training field. Amidst the mist, there was still the Six Legged Bladelike Chi, whose injuries had already recovered a lot; the Dreamy Cloud Martial Immortal—Mu Tao—who was carrying a giant wolf-headed war saber; as well as Teng Qingshan, who was carrying the Splitting Mountain Axe.

"Qingshan——"

The moment Li Jun saw Teng Qingshan, her eyes reddened, and she immediately dashed over to hug him, burying herself in his embrace. Before this, the whole time while she had been waiting anxiously in fear, she hadn't cried. However, now that she saw that Teng Qingshan had returned safe and well, she could not stop crying.

Li Jun's tears and the rainwater mixed together on her face as she raised her head tearfullyagainst Little Blue's neck feathers.

It was at this moment that Little Blue chirped happily. Although she had originally followed Teng Qingshan and gained a good comprehension of the Dao from using his fist art as the foundation, Teng Qingshan was just a friend to Little Blue, someone who was kind to her. However, as Li Jun knew the language of beasts, Little Blue treated her as a truly close friend.

"Qingshan." Zhuge Yuanhong walked over with a smiling face.

Seeing Zhuge Yuanhong now, it was simply impossible to imagine just how worried he had been before.

"Teacher…"

Teng Qingshan showed a small smile. "Nothing will happen anymore in the future. Teacher, let me introduce someone to you——"

As he said this, Teng Qingshan pointed at Little Blue, who was next to him. "Teacher,


this is the Undying Phoenix, Little Blue, whom I spoke to you about previously. The one who accompanied me in drifting on the sea and entering Duanmu Continent. As for this other being… She's that Undying Phoenix I wrote about while I was in the Land of the Nine Prefectures, the one who followed the Omnipotent Expert and Poetic Sword God—Li Taibai."

Little Blue very benevolently nodded her head toward Zhuge Yuanhong.

However, her mother merely shot an ice-cold glance at Zhuge Yuanhong and then didn't pay any further attention to him. She appeared to be very arrogant.

"Undying Phoenix… Moreover, two of them." Inwardly, Zhuge Yuanhong exclaimed in admiration and sighed at the same time. "As expected of the legendary existence that is the mythological beast that followed an Omnipotentas they seem on the surface… And now that they know your real identity, I don't know what they'll do."

"Mm, we had no way of fighting them at all," Liu Xia said with red eyes while gnashing his teeth. "Martial Uncle, two Undying Phoenixes appeared at the same time. In particular, one of them was comparatively more powerful. It spouted out one mouthful of flames and burned Shengong Tu to ashes. We didn't even have a bit of strength to retaliate. Back when we split up to escape, Yu Tonghai got pursued. Before the Undying Phoenix, he would have undoubtedly died."

Huang Tianqin's expression was unsightly.

Yu Tonghai… In Emperor Yu's hall, his position was extremely special. Emperor Yu's Hall had accepted many disciples. Among the three who had reached


the Emptiness Realm—Huang Tianqin, Liu Xia, Yu Tonghai—the first two had been groomed by the sect since young, but they weren't Emperor Yu's blood descendants! However, Yu Tonghai was Emperor Yu's blood descendant! Hence, he held a special position in Emperor Yu's Hall.

"Additionally, Jing Yi is actually Teng Qingshan!" Liu Xia said with a deep and low voice.

"What?!" Huang Tianqin was scared stiff.

"He's that Teng Qingshan whom Qinghu Island had pursued to kill till the ends of the earth back then. Last year, he was only 21 years old and already an Emptiness Realm Expert," Liu Xia said anxiously. "Martial Uncle, even the four great Omnipotent Experts aren't this terrifying!"

Huang Tianqin's expression changed continuously, from pale to ashen, and then so overcast and heavy that it looked likesurrounding marine area. The variety of endemic flora and fauna on this wonderful island is due to years of separation from the Mainland. You really should discover the natural beauties of the island, but always in a sustainable way!

Two Cultural Sites

Since 1980: Portobelo-San Lorenzo Caribbean Fortifications

The forts of Portobelo and San Lorenzo, listed as endangered, were constructed by Spanish colonialists to protect the first town of Panama Ciy which had become a very significant trade center. The forts continuously suffered attacks by pirates. It really is an incredible site, as it provides very important information about the defense system which was used in the 17th and the 18th centuries! Don’t miss the site for the real Pirates of the Caribbean.

Since 1997: Panamá Viejo Archaeological Site and Historic District


of Panamá

The Panama Viejo Archaeological Site and Historic District of Panama dates back to the 16th century, and is the oldest European settlement along the Pacific coast. In 1673 it has been burned to the ground, so it was located in Casco Viejo.

Significant information on various aspects of the social life, communication and the economy can be read through the ruins. Numerous Churches, medieval houses, the presidential palace and the Salón Bolivar are cultural landmarks in the historic district. Follow the the steps of the Spanish empire in Latin America in this beautiful site and book a historical tour with us.

The key in an authentic travel experience lies in interpretation and interaction. There is a difference between seeing something and understanding something, not only with cultural encounters, but also with wildlife watching, bird viewing or walking through an unknown ecosystem.

EcoCircuitos Academic Tours

EcoCircuitos is specialized in educational travel experiences. Our guides are experts in their field and provide in-depth insights and understandings from culture and history to biodiversity. These understandings foster authentic travel experiences as well as responsible encounters between travelers and nature, biodiversity and local people.

With being one of the most biodiverse places on earth, Panama hosts world-class biological andgeological experiences. With its numerous indigenous communities, colonial towns, ancient ruins and the Panama Canal, the Isthmus it is also a top-spot for historians, anthropologists and architecture lovers. What is less known, is Panama’s extensive art scene; from numerous galleries in the capital, Afro-Caribbean remains and indigenous handicrafts to artisans dating back to colonial times.

Biodiversity Tour San Edwards University

Last week, our expert guide Fabio Trujillo led the Biology class of San Edwards University from Texas on their Academic trip through Panama for 15 days. The excursion started in the rainforest area around Panama City, continued to the cloud forest-covered highlands of Chiriqui and ended in the Caribbean archipelago of Bocas del Toro. With a focus on interpretation, the students gained holistic understandings of the different ecosystems, without losing


in mystic morning fog.

Being picked up by our EcoCircuitos driver Roberto at the train station in Colon, we started our road trip along the palm-fringed coast line to the colorful town of Portobelo. The charming little village does not only offer incredible history, with once being one of the most important ports in the Caribbean Sea, but surprises with lovely remains of African culture in form of Congo dances and expressive pieces of art next to lush rainforest adventures and superb snorkeling.

Every team member has his or her own preferences and opinions; however, when it came to the Arrecifes restaurant we discovered in the town of Colon, everyone was just as excited about the delicious typical fresh seafood lunch offered next to an extensive view of the PanamaCanal.

To continue our road trip deep into the jungle to the Fort of San Lorenzo, we waited for a spot between large container ships to cross the Panama Canal by ferry. Following a romantic wild road surrounded by lush rainforest, we let monkeys, birds and coatimundis cross the street. The fortress of San Lorenzo lies on the edge of steep cliffs, overlooking the surrounding coast lines with abandoned beaches and wild rainforest as far as your eyes can reach.

After a successful day of collecting inspirations, testing logistics and forming partnerships, the creative part starts, with using our experiences and ideas for developing unique brand-new itineraries.

Strategically located between the highlands and lowlands of Chiriquí, Finca Ceriana forms part of a privately protected area for the conservation of flora and


fauna in the region.

One of Finca Ceriana’s unique characteristics is the number of bird species and other animals from the upper and lower mountain areas. The property is part of the biological corridor that hosts the famous volcano lagoons and a large variety of animal and plant species. Apart from being an important migration zone for birds, the biological corridor of the lagoons and Finca Ceriana is vital for the wellbeing of the protected areas of La Amistad International Park and Baru Volcano National Park.

The farm offers its visitors easy nature trails for outdoor activities and particularly bird watching, a unique canopy tower, gourmet picnic, sugar cane mill and much more.

The Words Terrify Women of All Ages. Yet Survivors Have Proved the Disease Can Be Beaten, as Scientists Gain in the War to End Its Menace Forever

Twenty-four years ago, when the press corps crowded outside Bethesda Naval Hospital to hear President Gerald Ford announce that his wife, Betty, had undergone a mastectomy, "it was the first time they'd seen him cry," recalls the former First Lady, now 80. "Breast cancer pretty much meant death back then." Two decades later the disease still ranks among women in the U.S. as the most common form of cancer and the sixth leading cause of death (179,000 women—and 1,600 men—will be diagnosed this year, and 43,500 will die). Still breast cancer is no longer an automatic death sentence. In the 1970s

Levels of infection of intestinal helminth species in the golden jackal Canis aureus from Serbia.
During the past decade, golden jackal populations have substantially increased, yet little is known of their potential for transmitting parasites within animal and human hosts. In the present study, between 2005 and 2010, 447 jackals from six localities in Serbia were examined for intestinal parasites. Two species of trematodes (Alaria alata, Pseudamphistomum truncatum), three nematodes (Toxocara canis, Ancylostoma caninum, Gongylonema sp.), and seven cestodes (Taenia pisiformis, Taenia hydatigena, Multiceps multiceps, Multiceps serialis, Mesocestoides lineatus, Mesocestoides litteratus, Dipylidium caninum) were identified. Pseudamphistomum truncatum and M. serialis species were recorded for the first time. The overall prevalence of parasitic infection was 10.3%. No significant differences were found in the prevalence of infection between males and females127 works in Art AIDS America walk a younger generation through the 34-year history of HIV/AIDS as depicted by photographers Robert Mapplethorpe and Annie Leibovitz, graffiti-inspired artist Keith Haring, painter Jasper Johns, conceptual artist Barbara Kruger, performance artist Karen Finley and a host of equally powerful but less familiar names. At the same time, the exhibit reminds an AIDS-fatigued nation that, with 1.2 million Americans living with HIV and 50,000 new infections a year in the U.S., the battle isn’t over.

In the increasingly not-OK decade that followed, Hushka studied art at the University of Washington and the University of Wisconsin and was riveted by the “passionate and focused” response of artists to the crisis. Directly addressing the stigma surrounding AIDS, they demanded that attention be paid. “They showed


that art can be an agent of change,” he said.

He was a high school student in North Dakota in 1983 when he first read in Time or Newsweek about what was then called the gay plague. It was barely two years after the first cases had been reported, when the number of known infections stood at a few thousand. Even with no idea how bad things would get, Hushka remembers thinking, “This is not OK.”

Explanations for the lack of treatment include disparities in access to and use of health care, which are largely driven by underlying social conditions such as poverty and persistent HIV stigma .

Worse, even in the United States, only about 30 percent of people living with HIV are on antiretroviral medication at all or regularlya moment of shared history.”

In addition to HANC, Fred Hutch also is home to the federally funded HIV Vaccine Trials Network , which oversees clinical trials in the U.S. and globally, and defeatHIV , one of three federally funded research groups working to develop a cure for HIV. Staff at all three praised the exhibit as a powerful reminder of why their work matters.

In 2012, he invited Hushka – who has been working on Art AIDS America for the last 10 years – to a meeting of artists, scientists and activists. Leading up to the exhibit opening, Johnson made presentations to museum staff about ongoing HIV research. HANC Director Schouten helped recruit scientists at the National Institutes of Health to write an introductory essay for the exhibit’s 300-page


the activist group ACT UP, the installation first constructed in New York City in 1987 includes a neon pink triangle – the visual badge ordered for gay men by the Nazis – and the slogan SILENCE=DEATH. It was both a protest against politicians’ early silence about AIDS and a call to people with HIV to speak out.

Co-curated with Dr. Jonathan David Katz , director of the Visual Studies Doctoral Program at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, the exhibition covers a period from 1981 – the year reports emerged of a small group of gay men dying of a mysterious illness – to the present.

“I was very fortunate that I was not at the epicenter, or I don’t know what would have happened,” he said. “My entire consciousness comes from being aware of this disease and how it’s impacted people.”

Yet it was on a 2005 trip to New York City – which was one of the U.S. epicenters of the epidemic – that he came to realize how much this pivotal event had disappeared from the national consciousness. He was in a bookstore looking for new work on HIV/AIDS and found the section relegated to a bottom shelf in the back corner of the basement. Even there, most of the books emphasized


pair hit it off quite well. They started meeting more often to get to know each other well , it was a perfect arranged marriage situation with the brother playing the matchmaker in their case.
When they first met, Sriram did not know that Madhuri was such a famous actress and she would laugh about it later on pulling his leg.

Madhuri and Sriram slowly started falling in love with each other and after three months post introduction, they decided to get married.
Madhuri was at the peak of her career at that point of time in her life and she knew quite well what marriage would mean at this time.
She was in love with this charming doctor and decided to proceed with their marriage ignoring all the controversies and speculations.
OnOctober 17, 1999 they married each other in an intimate ceremony at an undisclosed location with a romantic honeymoon in Hawaii islands.
They returned to India to host a grand reception and to publicly announce their wedding and invited many famous celebrities,leaders, sportspersons and page3 people with full grandeur and style.

Madhuri decided to move back to the US after finishing her pending assignments in Bollywood to concentrate on her marriage.
This was a very confident decision made by an actress like her who was a blockbuster heroine and a winner of many Filmfare awards to her honour.
Sriram took her away from all the media glare and publicity and she quite enjoyed her life as a commoner in a completely new place.
She was not so popular in the English cinema hence


she secretly enjoyed doing her daily chores in peace like shopping and going out with her husband publicly.
Sriram recalled that he did not realise her popularity until , “until some Non Resident Indian’s came knocking, and then it was like a flood of visitors”.

Many of her popular co-actors,Shah Rukh Khan,Akshay Kumar would meet her whenever they travelled to the US .She was totally at peace with her husband, home and had two kids, Arin Nene (2003) and Rayaan Nene(2005) to adore.

Their kids were growing up and it was at that phase of her life that Aditya Chopra, a famous director approached her for her comeback film,Aaja Nachle.
The film was woman-centric with dance as its soul and he knew only Madhuri could fit in that role.
Madhuri was supported bySriram in rejoining the film industry and would shuttle between India and the US for completing her shoots.
Finally, in November, 2007 her movie was released worldwide and it marked a turning point in her life .
Sriram decided that Madhuri needed to return in full force to the silver screen and he ws willing to shift to India since could easily find a job in India owing to his superb qualifications and experience in the US.
Do we get to hear about such support and sacrifices in the lives of married women nowadays?
Truly a great husband, Sriram pushed her in pursuing her dreams but she , being the doting mother, chose to work on the small screen to give time to her family.
She started judging a few dance shows like


Position of the American Dietetic Association: Functional foods.
It is the position of the American Dietetic Association that functional foods, including whole foods and fortified, enriched, or enhanced foods, have a potentially beneficial effect on health when consumed as part of a varied diet on a regular basis, at effective levels. The Association supports research to define further the health benefits and risks of individual functional foods and their physiologically active components. Dietetics professionals will continue to work with the food industry, the government, the scientific community, and the media to ensure that the public has accurate information regarding this emerging area of food and nutrition science. Knowledge of the role of physiologically active food components, from both phytochemicals and zoochemicals, has changed the role of diet in health.If an item you ordered from TextbookRush does not meet your expectations due to an error on our part, simply fill out a return request and then return it by mail within 30 days of ordering it for a full refund of item cost.

April Book Club: On Another Man's Wound by Ernie O'Malley

‘On the base of the Pillar was a white poster. Gathered around were groups of men and women. Some looked at it with serious faces, others laughed and sniggered. I began to read it with a smile, but my smile ceased as I read, ‘Poblacht na h-Eireann, the Provisional government of the Irish Republic – to the people of Ireland.’

- Ernie O’Malley – O’Connell Street, Easter Monday

When the Easter Rising broke out, Ernie O’Malley was a medical student in Dublin.

As with so many Irish people he was profoundly changed by the execution of the leaders of the Rising and was an early recruit into the post-Rising Volunteers, later to become the Irish Republican Army during the war of independence.

Hismemoir of that conflict, first published in 1936, is a classic account of guerrilla warfare in Ireland and the destabilization of British rule over a two and a half year period.

It’s our April Book Club choice and joining Myles to discuss it were historians Diarmaid Ferriter and Conor Mulvagh and also, Elaine Sisson, cultural historian with the Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology.

On Another Man’s Wound by Ernie O’Malley has recently been reissued by Mercier Press.

Ernie O'Malley - Quotes from On Another Man's Wound

Writing about 1916

‘In the morning smoke could be seen, and flames, It was terrible to watch. Why had I not known about the fight earlier? I thought of all the chances I had had of joining the Irish Volunteers; instead I had laughed


and scoffed. Now, when I wanted to help I could not. A Dublin Fusilier, a friend, came to visit us during the day. He drank his large glasses of whiskey and was eagerly listened to. He was an authority. His officers had told him, ‘Every man you see in green uniform, regard him as a German soldier, as an invader. Shoot him down.’ ‘We examine all suspects,’ he said, ‘and a bruise on anyone’s shoulder means that he has been using a long-barrelled Mauser. I’d like to stick them up against a wall instead of taking them prisoners.’ He was hailed by many, who were anxious to shake hands, as he walked away.’

March-May 1919

At the dug out in St. Ita’s I met Cathal Brugha, Dick Mulcahy and MickCollins. Brugha was chief of staff; Mulcahy, assistant chief; Collins was director of organisation, adjutant general and unofficial quartermaster general. Collins, in riding breeches and brown leggings was striding up and down the narrow room cursing, his strong Cork accent more emphasized. Mulcahy looked at Cathal Brugha who, thin-lipped, widemouthed, sat at one end of the bare wooden table. Brugha had never talked much to me; he always seemed to be holding himself in check. He showed little of his many wounds save round his mouth and eyes; his face was often grey. When he had to talk he spoke with directness and finality as if the matter had been thought out and was now finished. Mulcahy never said anything stronger than ‘bloody’; he did not smoke or


drink. Cathal Brugha neither cursed, smoke nor drank. Collins was adept at all three.

1920 – life in a flying column.

Soon I learned to dread bacon and cabbage. The bacon was often home-cured. It hung in long narrow flitches on hooks in the smoke-blackened ceiling where it seasoned. It was fat – and I did not like fat. At home I was told it was good for me and I had tried to hide it under potato skins, cover it with bones or get it into a piece of paper in my pocket. The cabbage was boiled a long time and it was not strained. I ate the ‘mate’ – as it was called – because I did not want to offend the people. They were kind – theyinto a room. My head struck the stone floor and I was dazed.'

Hitchcock's classic The Birds

50 years ago this week, Alfred Hitchcock’s film “The Birds” premiered in New York City.

It was partly based on a novella by Daphne Du Maurier, but Hitchcock was also inspired by real-life stories of seabirds attacking a town in California. Depicting the famous scenes of violent bird attacks was technically challenging for the director and at times traumatic for the actors.

Lorcan Clancy explored the difficulties involved in bringing the idea to the big screen.

a small balloon appeared in the center of the screen and started inflating at variable speed, which increased unpredictably on each trial. Above the balloon was an image of a pin. As soon as the balloon touched the pin, it would burst and the word 'pop' would appear on the screen. At any time, the participant could press a button to stop the balloon. In that case, the balloon stopped and a red rectangle appeared around the participant's avatar to indicate it had been them who stopped the balloon. Due to the unpredictable change in speed, it was risky to wait to the last possible moment before stopping the balloon. In social trials, if the other player acted before the participant, the balloon would stop and the rectanglewater was restricted to waste-deep access the following week, he added.

Katie Price kicks cheating Kieran out of home

Katie Price has kicked her cheating husband Kieran Hayler out of her mansion.

The pregnant beauty, who was left devastated after discovering the builder and former stripper has cheated on her with her best friend Jane Pountney, 49, had him picked up from her house by his mum after he begged but failed to win her back.

A family friend told The Sun newspaper: ''Kieran has been well and truly shown who is boss in this marriage.

''He suffered not only the humiliation of being booted out of the marital home with his tail between his legs, but also the demeaning process of his mother having to pick him up.

''He has nothing without Katie. Shemade him beg for forgiveness in the most public way - proving his guilt - then threw it back in his face and kicked him out.''

Kieran, 27, admitted sleeping with married Jane more than 25 times, including secret sex sessions in Katie's stables, and is now paying for therapy to treat his ''compulsive addiction.''

His mother drove him back to their family home with an overnight bag on Monday (26.05.14) after Katie, 36, decided she'd had enough of his lies.

The source added: ''Kieran is a mess and will do anything to save the marriage. But Katie won't be made to look the fool.

''His brain was in his pants and it has cost him dearly.''

The brunette beauty, who is pregnant with Kieran's second child, had been letting him stay in


A former diplomat who worked in the Ecuadorian embassy while Julian Assange lived there in asylum debunks 40 of CNN’s smears against the WikiLeaks publisher.

By Fidel Narváez

The Western corporate media has shown extreme bias against the whistleblowing publication WikiLeaks and its publisher Julian Assange. Nowhere is this more evident than in a recent CNN article on the imprisoned journalist, which completely botches the facts.

On July 15, CNN published an exclusive report that sent shock waves through the press: “Security reports reveal how Assange turned an embassy into a command post for election meddling.” This two-pronged hit piece mixes character assassination with a clumsy attempt to show that he and WikiLeaks supposedly served as agents of chaos for the Kremlin during the 2016 US presidential election.

But the article containshe would consent to extradition to Sweden as long as it was accompanied by a guarantee that he would not be onwardly extradited to the United States for his journalistic activities. Ecuador offered that possibility to Sweden from the very beginning.

In May 2017, after Sweden closed the preliminary investigation for the second time, Assange still did not leave the embassy, because the risk of extradition to the US remained imminent — a fact that was proven to be correct when Ecuador handed him over to the British.

8. “From the outset he demanded (and was granted) high-speed internet connectivity, phone service and regular access to professional visitors and personal guests.”

It is false that Julian Assange “demanded” anything. Moreover, it is false that Ecuador provided Assange with a telephone connection


will never mention the multiple official complaints made against UC Global, by not just Assange, but also by outside visitors such as Daniel Ellsberg, French presidential candidate Eva Joly, baroness Helena Kennedy, or actor John Cusack, to name a few, who protested against disrespectful treatment by security guards.

Over the first six years, Assange’s stay at the Ecuadorian embassy was characterized by mutual respect between the Ecuadorian diplomatic and administrative staff and its guest. A few isolated incidents with private security guards do not change the respectful nature of that stay.

It was only in the last year, under Lenin Moreno’s government, that things changed radically. Diplomatic personnel were replaced, and a new security company was hired. The attitude toward Assange then became very hostile.

13. “He smeared feces on theleast 75 visits to Assange, nearly double the monthly average of visits logged by the security company that year.”

Julian Assange was always busy, always working. A political asylee does not lose any rights to do so.

In the month of June 2016, a period of special interest in the CNN investigation, Assange was indeed busy — just not in the way that CNN suggests.

Rather, Assange was preoccupied with a series of specific events that, curiously, the CNN investigation is either unaware of or deliberately omits:

A. On June 19, 2016, on the occasion of the fourth anniversary of his entry to the embassy, the event “First They Came for Assange” was held. This was a series of simultaneous demonstrations held in several cities around the world: Berlin, Paris, New York,


Brussels, Madrid, Milan, Athens, Belgrade, Buenos Aires, and Montevideo, among others, with audiences present in different scenarios. It also included the participation, face-to-face or via video, of dozens of personalities, including Noam Chomsky, Slavoj Žižek, Yanis Varoufakis, Vivienne Westwood, Michael Moore, Ken Loach, Amy Goodman, PJ Harvey, Bernard Stiegler, Brian Eno, Baltasar Garzón, Sarah Harisson, Srećko Horvat, Angela Richter, Chris Hedges, and Renata Ávila. The central feature of this mega-event was a live online broadcast from the embassy.

B. “Julian Assange: Four Years of Freedom Denied”, a five-day day event, held from June 20 to 24 at the International Center for Higher Communication Studies for Latin America (CIESPAL), in Ecuador’s capital Quito. The program consisted of several days of conferences with the participation of international exhibitors, screenings of documentaries,visual arts exhibitions, and online broadcasts — again, live from the embassy.

C. Brexit Club panel, a live broadcast with analysis and discussion on the Brexit referendum, which started the night of the referendum and continued until dawn, on June 23 and 24, streamed online from inside the embassy, with face-to-face and remote video participation of at least a dozen panelists from different parts of the world.

Furthermore, Ecuador’s Foreign Minister Guillaume Long visited the embassy from June 17 to 21, with a very intense agenda of press events and meetings, including a lengthy meeting with the legal team of Assange, with the participation of lawyers from outside the United Kingdom.

It is obvious, therefore, that this many public events, meetings, and interviews, all in the same month, significantly increased the


in the past… For several months in 2012, Assange hosted a television show on RT.”

The World Tomorrow program presented by Julian Assange was an independent British production whose international rights were purchased by RT.

To suggest that, because someone has an opinion program on RT, there is necessarily a dependency on the Kremlin is clearly wrong. According to that logic, RT presenters such as former prime minister of Scotland Alex Salmond, legendary American TV host Larry King, journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner Chris Hedges, the American broadcaster Max Keiser, former commissioner at the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission Bart Chilton, former president of Ecuador Rafael Correa, and even the famous Portuguese soccer coach José Mourinho are all also secretly in cahoots with the Kremlin.

21. “Shortly after WikiLeaks established contactwith the Americans, who are the ones who moved the strings.

As reported by ABC, at least six months before the termination of asylum, the Ecuadorian ambassador to Berlin was the one who offered Assange’s head to the Americans.

And according to the magazine Proceso, “British and Ecuadorian officials held secret teleconferences with the headquarters of the State Department in Washington to discuss the future of Assange,” from inside the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London, for months before the expulsion.

39. “Assange hasn’t been accused of any crimes related to his actions in 2016.”

After a fierce investigation by the US Department of Justice, which lasted some two years, cost roughly $25 million, and included interviews with approximately 500 people, after this investigation in which Assange was always willing to appear


to Protect Journalists , the American Civil Liberties Union , Reporters Without Borders , the Freedom of the Press Foundation , the Center for Constitutional Rights , and countless civil organizations and personalities around the world.

Would CNN also refer to any of them as “allies”?not being part of the “unannounced games,” Atlus announced 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim in September 2015, with no real news for the game since.

Vanillaware had been recruiting a background artist for 13 Sentinels starting in October 2016, and ending the following month.

Project Re Fantasy

The only of Atlus’ announced internal projects for now, Project Re Fantasy: A Fool’s Journey Begins is a fantasy RPG developed by the newly formed team: Studio Zero.

As the game is only in its conceptual stages, it is unlikely to be released or substantially resurface in 2017.

Reynolds' syndrome constitutes the coexistence of progressive systemic sclerosis and primary biliary cirrhosis. It remains unknown whether or not there is a constant time-related sequence of the clinical manifestations of the two immunogenetically determined disorders. However, it is remarkable that the affected elderly women described so far had Raynaud's symptoms long before the final diagnosis of Reynolds' syndrome was settled. Thus, the Raynaud's phenomenon is an early clinical symptom for the evolution of a Reynolds' syndrome. By experience, the coincidence of progressive systemic sclerosis and primary biliary cirrhosis seems to be a favorable factor concerning the progression of primary biliary cirrhosis.

Warren eyes city home

► City weighs hiring lobbyist with ties to Warren ally

► Poll floats Barnhart versus Bronson in Assembly race

Both Winston Al-Sarag and Gaddy have long-standing ties to Rochester politics and many of the city's top politicians, including Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren and Assemblyman David Gantt, D-Rochester.

The alleged incident came with Winston Al-Sarag in the capital city for an annual, well-attended conference of the state Association of Black and Puerto Rican Legislators.

Reached by phone Wednesday, Winston Al-Sarag said the incident happened in a suite rented by Gantt, a senior member of the association.

She said Gaddy entered the suite around 8:30 p.m. and confronted her over a column she wrote in The Minority Reporter, a weekly Rochester-based newspaper.

The January column suggested Gaddy could be in legal trouble forhis ties to the late Assemblyman Bill Nojay, who killed himself in September as he was about to face federal charges.

"He put his face so close to my face physically, I could smell his breath," Winston Al-Sarag said in an interview with the USA TODAY Network's Albany Bureau. She said he then threatened to kill her.

According to Winston Al-Sarag, Gantt — who was sitting on a couch next to her — interjected, telling Gaddy to leave.

At that point, Gaddy drew back his right hand and "literally punched me in my jaw," Winston Al-Sarag contended.

Asked Wednesday about Winston's account, Gantt repeatedly told a reporter: "I don’t know what you’re talking about."

The alleged incident is laid out in an incident report on file with Albany Police, which was based on


Winston Al-Sarag's complaint. The report says Winston Al-Sarag "denied any medical attention."

Gaddy is listed as the suspect, with the victim's name redacted. Winston Al-Sarag, who walks with a cane, confirmed she filed the complaint and agreed Wednesday to tell her side of the story on the record.

Winston Al-Sarag, whose columns have sparked controversy, is a longtime supporter of Warren.

Gaddy is a former Warren supporter and former aide to Gantt. He has supported Democrat Rachel Barnhart's bid to unseat Warren.

Gaddy, as president of Excelsior Advocates, is also an Albany lobbyist for several Rochester-area interests, including the Rochester-Genesee Regional Transportation Authority and the Rochester City School District.

In 2013, he spent about $41,000 to benefit Warren’s campaign for mayor through an independent committee called Rochester Rising.

This year, he has backed Barnhart'sprimary challenge, with Gaddy and a company associated with him contributing $8,900 to her campaign, according to campaign finance records.

Both Warren and Barnhart sought to distance themselves from Gaddy on Wednesday.

"The mayor has not had a relationship with Scott Gaddy for a year and a half," Warren spokeswoman Jessica Alaimo said in an email.

In a statement, Barnhart said she was "deeply saddened" to learn of the allegations.

Gaddy did not have a formal title with Barnhart's campaign, but has been an outspoken supporter. In a 2016 e-book recounting her bid for the state Assembly, Barnhart thanked Gaddy for "believing in me."

"Violence is never an acceptable answer to any problem, and I condemn it in no uncertain terms," Barnhart said in her Wednesday statement.

"This afternoon I spoke to Scott to

Mr Shringla remarked that India's decision to oblige US sanctions is based on the importance of the US-India relationship. "Both sides need to recognise that," he said.

In November last year, US President Donald Trump's administration unveiled the full extent of its sanctions against Iran, which targeted its energy, banking, shipping and aviation sectors.

Eight of Iran's top oil customers - China, Greece, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Turkey - were granted waivers that allowed them to temporarily continue buying Iranian oil. Washington explained that these nations had agreed to dramatically reduce oil imports from Tehran.

In April, Washington announced that it will not re-issue waivers for Iranian oil importers after their expiry on May 2.

Ship without a rudder?

When the Europhiliac David Miliband was appointed as foreign secretary in Brown’s cabinet, this blog took it to mean that Brown himself was demonstrating a hitherto unsuspected (by some) degree of Europhilia. This suspicion was reinforced by the subsequent appointment of Malloch Brown, which further strengthened the Europhiliac tendencies.

However, two very similar stories today, one in the Telegraph and the other in the Observer put Miliband on the fringes of the Cabinet. As the Observer puts it, he is "Disaffected. Left out. Unhappy".

Current tensions are put down to No. 10's changes to Miliband's Bruges speech, leaving out a reference to a call for an "EU capabilities charter" as a more concrete contribution to the development of an EU defence identity.

Myanmar forces struggle to contain ethnic and religious violence

NEW DELHI -- Security forces struggled to contain clashes in western Myanmar on Tuesday after days of ethnic and religious violence left at least a dozen people killed and thousands displaced.

The fighting between majority Rakhine Buddhists and minority Rohingya Muslims is posing a serious challenge for the national government and its reform agenda as it seeks to end decades of isolation and military rule.

President Thein Sein declared a state of emergency in coastal Rakhine state Sunday night and ordered troops into the area to restore calm, but reports of violence continue and the United Nations announced it is evacuating staff from the area.

Police fired rounds into the air Tuesday to disperse Rohingya as houses burned ina neighborhood of the regional capital of Sittwe, the Associated Press reported.

In a refugee camp on the outskirts of New Delhi, Hafiz Ahmed, 42, said he was worried sick about the situation. "My parents are in Rakhine, I can't sleep at night," said Ahmed, who came to India three years ago to escape persecution in Myanmar. "Every three or four hours, I call them. I think the violence should stop now."

The unrest was sparked Friday following last month's rape and murder of a Buddhist girl, allegedly by three Muslims, and the lynching of 10 Muslims in retaliation. The weekend saw rival Muslim and Buddhist mobs burn houses. The government said about 4,100 people have lost their homes, many taking refuge in schools and Buddhist monasteries.

Analysts said that while


analysts expressed concern that it could use the current crisis as a pretext to tighten control.

In recent weeks, the government has faced growing dissent across the country, including broad-based protests over endemic power cuts, demonstrations in Shan state over a destroyed market and angry workers blocking access to 12 gold mines in Mandalay Division over job cuts and labor conditions.

"As the government starts to see that things could get out of control, they're trying to divert attention, and gain popularity through [Burman] nationalism," said Khin Ohmar, a Thailand-based coordinator with Burma Partnership, a pro-democracy civic group. "It's the same old trick."

While a bottle filled with petrol was hurled at a mosque in Ganapati locality, there were reports of stones thrown at another place of worship in Kovaipudur, they said.

The incidents were suspected to be in retaliation to an alleged attack on a Hindu Munnani worker late on Wednesday night.

The legendary host of The Gong Show would have relished the latest absurdity on Long Island: a lawsuit that claims Charles Wang reneged on an agreement to sell the New York Islanders for $420 million back in March.

That's a crazy chunk of change for a club that was valued at less than half that by Forbes early last season, but it wasn't enough to sway the indecisive Wang. His reason for backing out of the deal? The lawsuit claims that Wang suffered


in negotiating the purchase of the Isles had better bring a big bottle of aspirin and a battery of lawyers to the proceedings.

NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly has said that the lawsuit is "a private dispute", so the boys will just have at it.

Meanwhile, it hasn't taken the new owners in Florida long to start “quietly” greasing the skids for an exit from the financial sinkhole that is Broward County. Doug Cifu, who bought the troubled club with Vinnie Viola last year, told FoxSports Florida on Saturday that the team's ”current business model is unsustainable.”

This conclusion probably didn't catch anyone who follows the team by surprise, least of all Cifu who, as a successful hedge fund guy, most likely did his due diligence on the club before hevisual of 40-plus dark nights at the local white elephant. But the request isn't sitting well with officials in Broward County who rightly recognize that there are other draws in the region—mostly those involving sand and saltwater—that fill the majority of those hotel rooms and deserve most of the proceeds of the levies.

They may decide to pony up in the end, but there's a good chance they won't. The county hired a consultant last month to examine the financial impact of releasing the franchise from the lease that binds it to the BB&T Center through 2028. The results of that study are due in October, setting the Panthers up for a possible lame duck season in 2014-15.

There's no telling if that's exactly where Cifu and Viola were steering

Collected by Teri Roiger and John Menegon - the founders of the local live jazz effort Jazzstock - the musicians celebrated Jack DeJohnette, the consummate jazz timekeeper, the royal "we" of rhythm, the Ulster County legend who's played with Miles Davis, Keith Jarrett - heck, name him or her, and Jack's been there.

His friends paying tribute and celebrating his 70th birthday, DeJohnette did it all Sunday night; he sat behinda keyboard, he took hands to a melodica, and he played his drums like a pacing 25-year-old, prepared to pounce as part of a manic solo that served as the tribute show's climax.

But let's rewind. The show's primary band, per say, was led - although she denied being the leader - by Terri Lyne Carrington, a gifted drummer and student of DeJohnette's. She brought a group of hungry young lions who provided a boisterous electricity to an old-school 1970s vibe of jazz. One of those lions happened to be the night's first unbelievable surprise guest: Grammy winner and bassist extraordinaire Esperanza Spalding. Carrington announced Spalding as "TBA," and boy, was she worth the uncertain print. Spalding grinned as she and her peers brought down the house on DeJohnette's


"Silver Hollow." Carrington was on point, pulsating while also pulling back, the kind of performance echoing DeJohnette's best work with Jarrett and bassist Gary Peacock.

The second major surprise of the night came in the form of vocal master Bobby McFerrin, who provided a luscious run of vocal ticks in "Silver Hollow." He ad-libbed a birthday message to DeJohnette while adding his unique vocals to a dual saxophone frontage.

A major highlight came with the arrival of Joe Lovano, saxophone master and New Windsor resident. He brought the roof off the Bearsville with his performance, thundering into the theater like a tenacious storm. He had Carrington's young guitarist beside himself. Later, wife Judi Silvano made an appearance, adding a warm set of vocal runs to a dynamic performance led bya number of saxophonists, including Lovano and Ravi Coltrane.

Still, the biggest cheer of the night came with DeJohnette's one-of-a-kind solo. While major players kept the stage - and the surrounding crowd - sweating hot, it was the consummate jazz timekeeper who made the night explode.

More on the show, including an in-depth look at players involved, in Tuesday's Times Herald-Record.

While the emerging field of learning games was the day’s focus, the visibility of women game developers – excelling as scientists and in business – deserves attention.

At the White House, US Chief Technology Officer Megan Smith talked about Grace Hopper, who broke the mold in the 1940s as a pioneer for inventing programming languages and through an illustrious career as a computer scientist. Smith noted the national need to repair the representation gap among girls, women, and minorities following in the path of Hopper. Educational games and access to low-cost maker technology such as Raspberry Pi offer partial solutions to this complex problem. At the Expo, SBA Administrator Maria Contreras Sweet toured the hall and spent time chatting and learning the stories of SBIR women game developers, includingKara Carpenter of Teachley and Maria Burns-Ortiz of 7 Generation Games.

SBIR has been identified as one national initiative that holds promise for catalyzing the women developer movement. With women in leading development and research roles for half of the 30 games, the ED Games Expo demonstrated that SBIR is already starting to deliver on this promise.

Psychologist Lisa Blackwell co-founded Mindset Works to bring her graduate research at Columbia University on growth mindset into wide-scale practice.

Maria Burns Ortiz co-founded 7 Generation Games (with and AnnMaria DeMars and others) to make learning relevant for underrepresented groups of students.

Agra
is said to be founded in 1475 during the reign of Raja Badal Singh.
Mughal monarchs transformed the land into one of the great centres of
art, culture, learning and commerce. Massive monuments, majestic
buildings and still flourishing arts and crafts including leatherwork
and pietra dura marble-inlay work along with delicious Mughal cuisine
have now become an inseparable part or more, the identity of the city.
Besides Taj, many other magnificent monuments are a testimony to the
zenith and golden period of the Mughal architecture.

Agra City
India's top tourist
attraction, Taj Mahal is the ultimate requiem of love, from a great
Mughal Emperor to his beloved. Made up of white marble, this mausoleum
has immortalized Agra as the City of the Taj. Agra had been the chosen
city of Mughals for years as it was


close to Delhi. However, the history
of Agra is much more older than the times of Mughals. The great Hindu
epic 'Mahabharat' refers to 'Agraban' as an integral part of the Brij
Bhumi or the land of Lord Krishna. It is claimed that this was the
region of Agra, covered by forests then. There is Agra Fort and
Itmad-ud-daulah that are gems of Mughal architectural style. Babur laid
out the first formal Persian garden here on the banks of the River
Yamuna. Sikandra, just outside Agra, is the beautiful garden mausoleum
of Akbar. Hardly, any tourists go back from India without visiting Agra,
if only for the seventh wonder, Taj Mahal.

Monuments of Agra
Shahjahan built Taj Mahal, the seventh wonder of the world, in memory of
his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal, who died giving birth to their 14th
child. Itmad-ud-daulahis the tomb of Mirza Ghiyas Beg, Emperor
Jehangir's father - in- law. Standing in the centre of a luxurious
Persian garden, it is an architectural jewel of its times. 10 km from
the city centre of Agra, the mausoleum of Akbar, Sikandra, is a perfect
amalgamation of Hindu, Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, Jain architectural
styles. 40 km from Agra, the city of Fatehpur Sikri was built in the
honor of the Sufi saint Sheikh Salim Chisti by Emperor Akbar. The city
was intended to embody the noble ideals, and the humanitarian bent of
this dynamic emperor. The finest monuments within this area are the
Diwan - i - Am, Diwan - i - Khas, Panch Mahal, Jama Masjid, Panch Mahal,
Buland Darwaza and the tomb of Saint Sheikh Salim Chisti. There are
several monuments at Agra but the most


important ones have been covered
below:

1. Taj Mahal,
2. Itmad-ud-daulah,
3. Sikandra, and
4. Fatehpur Sikri.

Forts & Palaces of Agra
Agra became one of the principal cities of the Mughal Empire,
especially, after the death of Ibrahim Lodi at Panipat in 1526 when
Akbar chose it as his capital. He laid the foundations of the fort of
Agra. The construction was started in 1565 and was completed in about
eight years at a cost of thirty-five lakhs of rupees under the
superintendence of Qasim Khan Mir Barr-u-Bahr. This fort was just one of
the many large fortified residences that the emperor wanted to have at
various strategic points of his empire. According to contemporary
chroniclers like Abul Fazal the fort contained over five hundred
buildings. But later on Akbar's descendants added new buildings, mainly
in marble to the fort and demolished the oldones. During Akbar's time
Jamuna was a mighty river and it touched the fort. A large number of
ghats were built during Akbar's period. Some of the ghats were meant for
handling goods and some particularly reserved for use by the harem
inmates. Covered passages were specifically built for this purpose.

Agra Fort
On the shores of River Yamuna, to the northwest of
the Taj Mahal, Emperor Akbar started a majestic fort, which gained
Jehangir and Shah Jahan as its future benefactors who added rose-red
sandstone and marble buildings to it respectively. Within 2.5- km-long
and 20 feet high fortified walls, the premises of the fort houses many
visionary palaces, such as the Jahangir Palace and the Khas Mahal,
audience halls, such as the Diwan-i-Khas; and two very beautiful
mosques.

Agra Tourism
No trip to India is complete without a visit to
the Taj.


One of the most beautiful places in the world, Taj Mahal is a
feast for the eyes and a pilgrimage to the hearts of the lovers. It
touches new heights of beauty and grace. There is Agra Fort, whose sheer
vastness would have made up for its significance even without its
numerous pretty buildings and edifices. The city of mausoleums, Agra has
two more remarkable tombs that are worth beholding - Sikandra, the grand
mausoleum of Akbar, the father of Jehangir and Itmad-ud-daulah, the tomb
of Mirza Ghiyas Beg, the father-in-law of Jehangir. Fatehpur Sikri is
not only for the pilgrims but is also an important tourist attraction
with its wonderful edifices.

Excursions in Agra
Mathura and Vrindavan are two famous places
where Lord Krishna was born and spent most of his childhood. They are
the best places to observe thereligious heritage of India. The holy
towns positioned along the shores of River Yamuna are mentioned both in
history and mythology. The other destination is the ultimate pilgrimage
centre for Hindus, Varanasi (also popularly known as Benaras or Kashi),
which is one of the oldest living cities in the world. Besides its
temples and ghats, it is also known as a seat of learning, music and
dance. The silk sarees, betel leaf and gold and silver threadwork of the
city is also very famous.


level of development, and distance to a main road. Kibena is the most urban, as it is located on the major highway connecting Tanzania to Zambia. Mgama is located along a well-maintained murram road (hard-packed soil) a few kilometers off the main highway. Lyumgungwe and Malagosi are markedly more rural. They are located along poorly-maintained roads, and are not connected to the electrical grid. The major ethnic group represented in the study villages is Hehe with Bena as the prominent minority group, both of whom are mainly farmers, but also keep cattle and goats. Maize is the primary staple crop in all 4 villages. The majority of agriculture is rain fed. Annual precipitation averages 680mm, and the rains typically begin in late November or early December, and lastThe major goal of the focus groups was to inform the survey design, helping to create a contextually-specific survey instrument. Primary data from the focus groups are not presented in our analysis. Focus group discussion notes were qualitatively analyzed and discussed within the research team to find recurring and important themes and ideas about agriculture and mobile phone use that were then integrated into the survey instrument.

A total of 279 surveys were conducted in July 2017, which roughly corresponds to the timing of the maize harvest in the region. Informed consent was granted by respondents prior to surveys. The timing of the surveys is important, and, in the case of this research, conducting surveys during/after the maize harvest proved beneficial because yield and agricultural information was fresh in


In spring 2009, the Western media caused a brouhaha over computer game Rapelay. The game was released in 2006, and CNN is only now covering the controversy. Why?

To bring everyone up to speed, Rapelay allows the player to have his way with the game's three female characters. The title is out of print and after the game started to get flak, Illusion, the company that created Rapelay, pulled the title from its website.

"We are simply bewildered by the move," said Illusion spokesman Makoto Nakaoka. "We make the games for the domestic market and abide by laws here. We cannot possibly comment on (the campaign) because we don't sell them overseas." New York-based Equality Now kicked off a campaign in May 2009 "against rape simulator games and the normalizationof sexual violence in Japan".

To be clear, the game company legally released the game in Japan in 2006. And in 2009, the West discovered it and got upset.

Japanese politicians in the New Komeito Party, pinning erotic games as a cause for Japanese sex crime, stating, "There is a very good chance that the influence of violent sex games far exceeds that of regular pornography." Japan has one of the lowest rates of reported rape:

UN Rape Rates per 100,000 Canada: 78.08

Australia: 77.79

USA: 32.05

Sweden: 24.47

UK: 16.23

France: 14.36

S. Korea: 12.98

Germany: 9.12

Russia: 4.78

Taiwan: 4.08

Japan: 1.78

While these game makers broke no Japanese laws, the country's Ethics Organization of Computer Software held an emergency meeting in June 2009 in


which nearly 100 representatives from various erotic game companies concluded that the manufacturer and sale of rape-type games should cease. This was not a government decision or even a legal one, but instead a self-policing policy on the part of the EOCS.

Thus, erotic game makers decided not to make any more rape games. What's more, game makers began giving their titles "cleaner" titles for adult games that were already scheduled to come out in the wake of the controversy. For example, "Slave Maiden's Rape Hell" became "Young Girl's Prison". Japanese adult video game makers retreated, some erotic game company websites even blocked foreign access. Retailers began renaming the "rape" genre category, and Kyoto cops arrested one Japanese man for illegally sharing the game on the internet. (One Japanesewas proposed by the Tokyo Municipal Government, which would amend the Metropolitan Tokyo youth welfare law on child pornography and limit the manner in which "nonexistent youths" are represented as well as clauses that call for the filtering of images of minors online and via mobile phone. The "visual depictions" are understood to encompass underage characters in manga, anime, computer games and video games - i.e., virtual characters. Some of Japan's most beloved anime and manga creators stood up to this bill, stating that it impedes on freedom of expression. The bill has since been delayed.

Instead of discussing this bill in any sort of depth, the Western media's favorite Japan-is-so-messed-up punching bag, Rapelay, has been dragged out for another round of "those in glass houses to toss stones".

BRIDGING FINANCE
(article first published : 2004-03-28)

Regular readers of the popular D’ARTS magazine are bemoaning the fact that there was no March issue as Durban Arts didn’t have the funding to bring it out.

The future was looking dire as by deadline time for the April issue, there was still no money forthcoming from Durban Arts or any other funder. To the arts community and arts supporters, having no D’ARTS magazine is a huge blow.

Editor Caroline Smart was "absolutely delighted" when Trustee of the Bartel Arts Trust, Dick Breytenbach, offered bridging finance for this issue to be produced.

"We are offering funds for this issue, and another issue if necessary. Thereafter we can look intoTrust of the Presidents Award for being the best arts publication of its kind in South Africa.

The arts community implores Durban Arts, the eThekwini Municipality – and indeed other potential partners, funders and distributors – to do whatever it takes to make sure that the D’ARTS magazine is not shelved, but continues to service the many arts practitioners and supporters in the city.

All those involved in the KZN arts industry and in D’Arts magazine salute the Bartel Arts Trust for their generosity.

OCU was led by 24 points from Troynell Adams. Charlton Jones and Terrance Walker each had 13.

SGU held a 28-20 advantage at halftime after holding the visitors to 38 percent shooting. The Cavs out-rebounded the visitors 22-11 in the first 20 minutes, and seven SGU players found the scoring column before the break.

The Stars, who came into the game No. 2 in the NAIA in free throw shooting, were just 3-of-11 from the line in the period.

Richey passed the 2,000-point mark for his career at the 7:29 mark of the first half. Richey — SGU’s all-time leading scorer — reached the milestone on a 15-foot baseline floater. He had six points and six boards at halftime.

HC Kometa Brno, the two-time defending champions of the Czech Extraliga, announced the signing of the 36-year-old centre on Monday.

A native of Kladno, Plekanec spent three seasons with HC Kladno at the beginning of his career in 1998 and then joined Rytiri Kladno during the lockout in 2012.

Among those who Plekanec will call teammate include a handful of players well known to North American fans, including longtime Nashville Predators forward Martin Erat and the eighth overall pick of the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, Peter Mueller.

Plekanec appeared in 1,001 NHL games over 15 seasons with the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs, scoring 233 goals and 273 assists.


165-167 was the historic address of the Bijou/Majestic Theatre. Oshkosh renumbered the lots on Main Street in 1957, and the modern address of the building that housed the theater is 439 N. Main Street.

The first photo in the Historical Photos section of the web site of the Time Community Theatre shows the Time’s predecessor, the Superba Theatre, with the Bijou in the foreground. The building has lost its ornate cornice and parapet, but is still recognizable.

Caption information for this interior photo of the Bijou says that it opened on January 18, 1904, closed in 1906, and reopened as the Majestic Theatre in 1912. But then it also gives the address of the Bijou as 140 N. Main Street, so I don’t know how accurate the other information is.

Oshkoshbuilding with the white awning near the corner of Washington, at right, was the Lyric Theatre, at old address 132 N. Main Street. That means that old address 140 N.Main probably was the correct address of the Bijou of 1904-1906.

The second location of the Bijou, which became the Majestic, was in one of the buildings farther up the block on the left side of Main Street. I think that the library’s interior photo must show the second Bijou. The first Bijou looks like it was a storefront nickelodeon conversion. Its replacement most likely opened in 1906, which the interior photo’s caption gives as the Bijou’s closing date, and operated as the Bijou until becoming the Majestic in 1912.

Silver-haired Bat (Lasionycteris
noctivagans)

The silver-haired bat is one of the most abundant bats in forested areas of the northern United States and Canada. L. noctivagans is not listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Description

Lasionycteris noctivagans is a medium-sized bat with black, rarely dark brown, fur with silver tips. There are no contrasting markings on the wrists and shoulders as in bats of the genus Lasiurus. Unlike many other North American bats, the basal upper half of its tail membrane is densely furred. Its forearm measures 37-44 mm in length, and it weighs 9-12 g..

Life History

The silver-haired bat is a hardy and generally solitary species. Mating occurs primarily in fall prior to migration. Females store sperm over winter, awaiting spring to ovulate and become pregnant in late April orSilver-haired Bat roosts are estimated to be 10 times more abundant in old-growth forests than in disturbed habitat.

In fall, Silver-haired Bats migrate to southern areas, their movements closely associated with cold fronts. They overwinter mostly in the southern third of North America, returning north in spring. Silver-haired Bats are slow, highly maneuverable flyers that rely on echolocation calls ideally suited for detection of small insects at short distances. They typically feed in relatively protected areas, over streams or ponds, along roadsides, and in or near coniferous or mixed coniferous and deciduous forests. Individuals have their own hunting territories, often of about 330 feet in diameter, and can travel from 1.2-31 miles to reach these sites. Silver-haired bats are sometimes among the earliest and, at other times, the latest


flyers; they may be active all night or only at dusk and dawn. This species consume flies, midges, leafhoppers, moths, mosquitoes, beetles, true bugs, and ants. Although Silver-haired Bat diets vary widely in kinds of insects eaten, they seem to select mostly small, soft-bodied species, especially those that swarm in groups. In winter, they may arouse and leave their roosts to feed when evening temperatures are 50° F (10° C) or higher.

Habitat

The Silver-haired Bat spends the majority of its life in forested habitats and is especially reliant on old growth forests for roost space.

Distribution

The silver-haired bat occurs from the tree line in Canada southward through most of the continental United States to the Mexican border in the West and nearly to the Gulf Coast in the East. It(Photo: Mike Fender / The Star)

Two former Indiana basketball heros Jordan Hulls and Will Sheehey are teaming up overseas for the German FIBA Europecup Team: s.Oliver Würzburg, based out of Würzburg, Germany. The two players played together at IU between 2010 and 2013 under former Indiana head coach Tom Crean.

Part II: Race and the Nation in the Universities

In the October issue I reviewed elements of the quality media, mainly the Sydney Morning Herald and intermittently the ABC and SBS, for one year, from mid-September 2011 to August 2012. These media outlets represent the apogee of respectable, mainstream Left-liberal ideology in Australia, ostensibly the heart of sophisticated cosmopolitanism, what the elite read and watch. I found confused understandings of ethnic behaviour, numerous incidents of baiting and defamation of Anglo and white Australians, but no chauvinism directed at minority ethnic groups. The search was not exhaustive but the trend is unlikely to be altered by a few missed cases running in the opposite direction. Neither is the trend altered by articles that report unpleasant
