Rask has only been held off the scoresheet once in his last four games. That gives him 12 goals and 27 points in 63 contests this season. Although he's done well lately, he's down from his typical offensive pace and will likely finish below the 40-point mark for the first time since 2014-2015.

Ryan registered an assist on Monday in his 67th game of the 2017-18 campaign. He's also now surpassed his rookie total of 29 points, which he also established during a 67-game span. It took a long time before the 31-year-old got his big chance in the NHL, but he's proven that he can be a solid contributor with the Hurricanes.

Skinner got there by registering an assist on Tuesday in his 67 game of theseason. Unfortunately, he's also now gone seven contests without finding the back of the net as he remains stuck at 20 goals. Skinner has surpassed the 30-goal milestone on three separate occasions and finished 2016-17 with 37 markers, but it looks like 2017-18 will be recorded as a down season. That said, goals have a tendency to come in bunches and Skinner might have at least one more big hot streak left in him this campaign. The Hurricanes could certainly use it as they attempt to claw their way into the playoffs.

Before you start going too crazy, the Hurricanes' forward Aho took the penalty on the Islanders' defenseman of the same name. It really happened. The Hurricanes' Aho has 25 goals and 57 points this season and should


be started in most leagues. He is Finnish, while the Islanders' Aho was born in Sweden.

Brock McGinn scored two goals in a 3-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night.

McGinn snapped a five-game pointless streak with his two-goal output against Colorado on Saturday. The Canes also got a goal from Jeff Skinner in the win. McGinn now has 10 goals and 21 points in 55 games this season. By comparison, he had 10 goals in his career entering this season.

Williams will have a tough time extending his streak of seasons with at least 20-goals to three campaigns, but he has now gotten at least 15 markers in each of his last five seasons. He also hit the 45-point milestone on Tuesday, which puts him just three shyof his 2016-17 total with enough time left to surpass it. All-in-all, this has been a pretty productive season for the 36-year-old.

Peters referred to Lindholm as "the best player in the game." He had two assists in Carolina's 3-2 victory over Chicago on Thursday. Lindholm also led all Carolina forwards with 21:36 minutes of ice time. He's up to 15 goals and 36 points in 67 contests in 2017-18.

Brett Pesce found the back of the net in Thursday's 2-0 win over the Montreal Canadiens.

Pesce's tally came off a one-timer from the point. His goal at the 2:43 mark of the second period gave the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead at the time. The blue liner finished the night with a plus-1 rating and three shots on goal in 21:04


When Joson was 1, her mother left to work as a nanny in Hong Kong. Her father departed four years later to work on a cruise ship, leaving her to be raised by her grandmother and other relatives. Three years ago, when she told her parents that she wanted to become an overseas worker so that they could finally afford to return home, her mother dissuaded her from going to Hong Kong; it was too hard there, she told her daughter. Instead, she encouraged Joson to apply for work in Israel, where, among the population of only eight million, there are about 30,000 Filipino caregivers (legal and illegal), almost half of all foreign caregivers in the country, according to Kav LaOved, a workers’ rights organization. Except for diplomacy,help keeping her feelings to herself. She saw her employer’s family come together for the holiday and found herself envying them, wishing that she could reunite with her own family. Maybe one day, she thought. “Be’ezrat Hashem,” she said in Hebrew — with God’s help.

Israel’s victory in the 1967 war and its subsequent occupation of the West Bank and Gaza led to the introduction of Palestinian workers to the Israeli labor force. These workers, who were predominantly male, crossed the checkpoints into Israel each morning and were employed, for the most part, in construction and agriculture. By the late 1980s, their number topped 100,000 — about 7 percent of the Israeli work force. But with the outbreak of the Palestinian Intifada in December 1987, and the heightened security


threat, Israel started to bar the Palestinians from entering the country; their jobs were left empty. The following year, the government decided on a new policy: the importation of migrant workers from developing countries. Slowly, Palestinians began to vanish from Israelis’ view, and in their stead, new populations arrived — people who did not leave the country’s borders at sundown. By 2002, there were 226,000 migrant workers living in Israel.

The most pressing need for workers is in the caregiving profession. In 2009, there were fewer than 250,000 Israelis over the age of 80; by 2059, there will be well over a million, according to one population projection by the Central Bureau of Statistics. Added to that is a serious shortage of working hands: In the 1990s, the ranksleast $125 million back home, according to the Philippine central bank. Like other groups of migrant workers in Israel — the Thai farmhands, the Chinese construction workers — the Filipinos are sometimes described as “transparents,” a community invisible to most Israelis, taking on the work that no one in the society wants to do. Unlike other foreign workers, however, they are embedded deep within Israeli families, helping the most vulnerable members of society — or the most privileged.

This dual presence — transparent yet indispensable — discomfits the national imagination. In a once-popular television series, one character, a Filipino metapelet, was conscripted into the Israeli military instead of her employer’s son (and was later held captive in Lebanon). A 2016 documentary that tracked the rise in marriages of convenience

The festival took place a month before general elections in which the Sweden Democrats came third.

During the 2014 festival, organisers picked up on rumours of a new phenomenon, said Roger Ticoalu, head of events at the Stockholm city administration.

“It was a modus operandi that we had never seen before: large groups of young men who surround girls and molest them,” Ticoalu said. “In the cases where we were able to apprehend suspects, they were with a foreign background, newly arrived refugees aged 17-20, who had come to Sweden without their families.”

on July 9 and October 29, 2009, the State added claims that the defendant had violated his
probation by attempting to contact his estranged wife against a court order, by being
discharged from the halfway house, by violating his curfew on two occasions, and by
garnering a new arrest for violating the drug free school zone act.

               The defendant moved to suppress any evidence obtained from the search of his
person conducted on October 29, 2009, on grounds that the search was unreasonable. The
defendant noted in his motion that the suppression claim had no bearing on the “technical
violations” alleged by the State.

terms of his probation. In addition, an attachment against the defendant was issued based
upon his failure to pay child support. The defendant was arrested pursuant to the attachment,
and Ms. Mooneyham ordered the defendant to enter Steps House.

               As Ms. Mooneyham prepared a violation warrant based upon the defendant’s
arrest and other violations related to his being at Phatz, she also discovered that the defendant
had failed to attend required CAPP alcohol and drug classes. During that same time period,
one of the urine samples submitted by the defendant was returned from the laboratory with

               Knoxville Police Department (“KPD”) patrol officer John Holmes testified that
on October 28, 2009, he conducted a search of a residence located at 3329 Fontana Street.
He stated that the search, which was conducted pursuant to a warrant that named the
defendant, was the culmination of a two-month investigation into narcotics trafficking from
the Fontana Street residence. He said that the defendant, who was alone in the living room
of the residence, was detained and subjected to a brief pat down immediately upon the
officers’ entry into the residence. After a brief sweep of the house, Officer Holmes returned
to the living room and found the defendant “lying on the ground handcuffed”with the
“zipper to his pants unzipped.” The defendant was then brought to his feet, and officers
conducted a search of his clothing and the immediate area where the defendant was when
they entered the residence. The defendant was then placed in a chair to wait while the
residence was searched.

                During the search, officers received “some indication that there was maybe
more substance in the residence or on [the defendant].” They then conducted another search
of the living room and a more thorough search of the defendant, which involved having the
defendant pull down his pants and underwear to “around his knee” for a visual inspection of
his crotch area. Officer Holmes noted that the defendant “was keeping his legs


officers approached him again and
conducted a fourth search. The defendant claimed that during the fourth search, officers
removed his handcuffs, pants, and underwear, ordered him to bend over, and directed him
to “hold [his] scrotum up, open [his] cheeks.” He said that officers looked at him for
approximately six minutes and asked him to spread his buttocks and lift his scrotum at least
four times. He claimed that officers did not find any contraband during the fourth search and
that he was ordered to put his clothes back on. According to the defendant, more officers
returned for a fifth search, during which they ordered him to remove all of his clothing. He
said that he was again ordered to lift his scrotum and spread his buttocks. The defendant
claimed that he finally spread his legs “asthe General Assembly of the Church of Scotland

Comfort behaviours amounted to 20–34 % of the time budget, and interaction and disturbance were marginal. Vigilance time ranged from 8 % in female Mallard to 20 % in male Pintail. Movement amounted to some 20 % of the time in most species and sexes. In Wigeon, sexes did not differ in time use, whereas in Mallard, Pintail and, in particular, Teal, females foraged more and engaged less in vigilance and interactions than did males. In addition, Teal and Mallard males engaged in the riskier foraging methods less than females, but more in those permitting vigilance. Although overlap in feeding methods was large among these species, Mallard and Teal were generalists, feeding at all depths, Wigeon foraged mainly in shallow water and Pintail foraged essentially in deep water.variation and diversity with living and nonliving items from nature allows children important learning opportunities, inclusive of biodiversity understanding.

This study investigates outdoor recreation participation within a multifunctional landscape, a UNESCO Man and Biosphere Reserve. The reserve, the Kristianstad Vattenrike located in southern Sweden, has made a deliberate effort to make the experience of biodiversity possible for residents and visitors. Recreation is a keypart of the biodiversity conservation effort in the area, represented by the infrastructure of the Kristianstad Vattenrike's 21 visitor sites. Given the biosphere reserve context, this study investigates the question of whether there is a relationship between outdoor recreation participation and place attachment. Survey data was

Methods: The study represents a multidisciplinary conceptual analysisof how biological selection and cultural learning may have interacted during human evolution to promote adaptive mechanisms for human affiliation with nonhuman nature via specific place attachment.

Results and Conclusions: The Biophilia Hypothesis has been one of the most important theories of human connectedness with nature, suggesting a genetically based inclination for human affiliation with the biological world. The Topophilia Hypothesis has extended the ideas of Biophilia to incorporate a broader conception of nonhuman nature and a co-evolutionary theory of genetic response and cultural learning. It also puts more emphasis on affiliation processes with the local environment.

Time periods from early mesolithic, neolithic, bronze age until late iron age are well represented at the sites along the former bay and lake Vesan.

            After the filing of the 2008 Financing Statements and

No. 3 of April 4, 2013, 2013 P.R. Laws 39 (codified at P.R. Laws

Ann. tit 3, § 761 et seq.).     From the original Enabling Act in

1951 until 2014, the English translation of the Enabling Act, as

codified, used "Employees Retirement System" as the first part of

the name of the System, when translating the Spanish term "Sistema

de Retiro de los Empleados."   Compare Law No. 447 of May 15, 1951,

1951 P.R. Laws 1298 (English, "Employees Retirement System") with

id. at 1299 (Spanish, "Sistema de Retiro de Los Empleados").   The

legislature had amended the Enabling Act numerous times before

2013, including changing the name of the System in 2004 by removing

"and its Instrumentalities" and by replacing "Governmentthe 2013 Act's April 4, 2013, approval in Spanish and

translation refers to the System as both "Retirement System for

Employees of the Government of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico"

and   "Employees     Retirement    System       of    the    Government    of    the

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico."            P.R. Laws Ann. tit. 3, §§ 761,

763(36).    In many sections, the translation of the Enabling Act

continues to use the prior version of


the English name ("Employees

Retirement System of the Government of the Commonwealth of Puerto

Rico").    Such continuity in the translation carries over to the

"Statement of Motives" section and to the definition of the

shorthand "System," as well as to dozens of other sections.                      In

Section    1-10,     which   describes    how        the    System   was   "to    be

designated,"       the   translation     uses    the      Contributions    (as    defined   in   the   ERS   Bond

Resolutions) received by the ERS during the pendency of the stay

imposed pursuant to [PROMESA] § 405 shall be transferred by the

ERS to [a segregated account] for the benefit of the holders of

             On May 3, 2017, the Oversight Board filed a petition

under Title III of PROMESA on behalf of the Commonwealth.            On May

21, 2017, the Oversight Board filed a Title III petition on behalf

of the System, which triggered an automatic stay of litigation

against the System.       The Bondholders


moved to lift the stay, and

the parties entered into a Joint Stipulation that resolved the

Bondholders'    motion.      The   Joint    Stipulation   stated   that   an

adversary proceeding would be filed by the System on or before

July 21, 2017, and limited the scope of the proceeding to the

"validity,     priority,     extent    and    enforceability"       of    the

Bondholders' claimed security interest and the System's rights

regarding employer contributions received during May 2017, as well

registered organization's jurisdiction of organization."       P.R.

Laws Ann.on   its   face,

Retirement     System,"       are   used,    seemingly     interchangeably,

throughout the translated Act as codified.           No provision of the

Act states, nor even suggests, that the ERS name is used as a trade

2013 amended Act states only the RSE name, whether or not it is a

Josh Hinger is an active black belt competitor representing Team Atos out of San Diego. He's a IBJJF champion both gi and no-gi and has competed under submission-only rulesets.A Gracie Worlds champion and EBI finalist, Hinger is uniquely qualified to examine one of the most divisive topics in jiu-jitsu today: advantage points.Advantages are like half points awarded for attacks or positions that expressed an intent to dominate the match. When points are equal, the number of advantages among the combatants will decide the winner. They’re used in IBJJF and UAEJJF competitions, Copa Podio matches, and more. Few topics raise the ire of a competitor morefor finals matches, and sometimes the semifinals of larger tournaments. The presence of three referees is an attempt by the organization to reduce human subjectivity. It's plain and simple: three heads are better than one.In the past few years, Eddie Bravo and Victor Davila have developed a highly popular submission-only rule set for EBI, which seeks to promote exciting jiu-jitsu matches and eliminate the presence of referee bias and subjectivity.

Donald Trump cruised to victory in New York on Tuesday, crushing his two remaining opponents in what could be the high water mark of his unconventional Republican primary campaign.

A triumphant Trump entered the lobby of his signature Trump Tower to speak to supporters as Frank Sinatra's 'New York, New York' blared over loudspeakers.

The GOP front-runner thanked 'the people who know me best' for a resounding win over Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

The only region of the state he lost, to Kasich, was the New York City borough of Manhattan – where he and those people live and work.

Trump claimed at least 89 of New York's 95 delegates to the Republican National Convention. Kasich won three.

Trump hammered home his consistent popular vote lead, throwing an elbow at Cruz for a pattern of accumulating convention delegates at statewide party meetings rather than at the ballot box.

'It's really nice to win the delegates with the votes,' Trump declared.

'Nobody should take delegates and claim victory unless they get those delegates with voters and voting. ... the people aren't going to stand for it.'

The real estate tycoon said he


would be 'going to go into the convention, I think, as the winner' in July. 'But nobody can take away an election,' he warned, 'like they have done with the Republican Party.'

Television networks called the race for Trump just moments after the polls closed at 9:00 p.m.

Applause broke out while the billionaire's supporters and staff crowded into the Trump Tower lobby and watched a monitor tuned to the Fox News Channel for the announcement everyone knew would come.

Trump, meanwhile, was busy tweeting about coverage on a rival network, complaining that CNN 'is so negative it's impossible to watch.'

The moment itself was anticlimactic: No one in the marbled skyscraper expected Trump to finish without a gold medal in the state where he has matched one of the world's greatpresident will get America back on track by strengthening our economy and restoring America’s leadership role in the world,' he said.

In a speech that touched on nearly all of his hobby-horse themes – veterans, Obamacare premiums, job losses and trade among them – Trump focused on problems he said he saw in upstate New York during a rally tour that took him to Syracuse, Rochester, Albany, Rome and Buffalo.

'New York state has problems like virtually every other state in the union,' he said. 'Our jobs are being sucked out of our states. ... We're going to stop it.'

He predicted the same dynamics that thrust him to the head of the pack in New York would play out in other states like Maryland, Indiana and Pennsylvania.

'Tomorrow morning we go


echoed a half-hour later from behind a podium.

'If the results go well tonight, he has to win 95 per cent of the remaining delegates moving forward, which is an almost impossible task,' Lewandowski said of Cruz.

'I think it's time to unite around Donald Trump. ... We'd encourage Sen. Cruz to come join us,' Lewandowski said with a dry passive-aggressiveness.

Then he disappeared down an escalator into the food court beneath Trump Tower's lobby to join a private reception until the vote totals began to trickle in.

Cruz fled the Big Apple and gave a brief speech in Tuesday night Philadelphia comparing himself with Presidentis John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan, leaning on the theme: 'Not "Yes we can" but now, 'yes we will.'

His optimistic remarks, delivered in a state whose voters will weigh in on April 26, came despite early ballot numbers that showed him running a distant third in Tuesday's only electoral contest.

Exit polls across New York showed Trump winning on important questions including which candidate


one-quarter said they would rather see a contested convention with party delegates determining the nomination if Trump can't cross the finish line.

In Wisconsin that number, too, was flipped on its head – with 55 per cent favoring a floor fight compared with 43 per cent who wanted an outcome based only on the primary voting.

New York's cache of delegates was a slam-dunk path for Trump's to regain ground lost to Cruz in the delegate hunt after the Texan carved away at Trump's lead by outmaneuvering him at a series of state Republican conventions.

Trump held a 197first ballot but plan to back the Texan on a second or third ballot if the front-runner falls short of a majority initially.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich is so far behind that even if he won every remaining delegate he wouldn’t have enough to win.

But he is refusing to quit the race, arguing that he would be the strongest general election candidate against Clinton in November. Some polls back him up.

Of the next batch of states to vote in seven days' time, Pennsylvania offers the richest haul with 71 delegates up for grabs.

Maryland has 38 delegates at stake, Connecticut has 28, Rhode Island has 19, and Delaware has 16.

The biggest prize remaining on the table is California, which has 172 delegates at stake on June 7, and where Trump

Eponymous
–
An eponym is a person, place, or thing for whom or for which something is named, or believed to be named. For example, Elizabeth I of England is the eponym of the Elizabethan era, recent usage, especially in the recorded-music industry, also allows eponymous to mean named after its central character or creator. In ancient Greece, the eponymous archon was the highest magistrate in classical Athens, Eponymous archons served a term of oneyear which took the name of that particular archon. Later historians provided yet another case of eponymy by referring to the period of Fifth-century Athens as The Age of Pericles after its most influential statesman Pericles. In Ptolemaic Egypt, the head priest of the Cult of Alexander, the Hebrew Bible explains the origins of peoples through individuals who bear their name. In most cases, the experiences and behavior of the ancestor is meant to indicate the characteristics of the people who take their name, in ancient Rome, one of the two formal ways of indicating a year was to cite the two annual consuls who served in that year. For example, the year we know as 59 BC would have described as the consulship of Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus


and Gaius Julius Caesar. Under the empire, the consuls would change as often as two months, but only the two consuls at the beginning of the year would lend their names to that year. During the Christian era, itself eponymous, many households used eponymous dating by regnal years. The Roman Catholic Church, however, eventually used the Anno Domini dating scheme based on the birth of Christ on both the public and royalty. Government administrations may become referred to eponymously, such as Kennedys Camelot, British monarchs have become eponymous throughout the English-speaking world for time periods, fashions, etc. Elizabethan, Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian are examples of these, trends Political trends or movements often become eponymous with a government leader. Examples include Jacksonian democracy, Stalinism, Maoism, Obamacare, in intellectual propertylaw an eponym can refer to a generic trademark or brand name, a form of metonymy, such as aspirin, heroin and thermos in the United States. In geography, places and towns can also be given a name through a relationship to an important figure. Peloponnesus, for instance, was said to derive its name from the Greek hero Pelops, in historical times, new towns have often been named after their founders, discoverers, or notable individuals. In science and technology, discoveries and innovations are often named after the discoverer or a figure influential in their advance, examples are Avogadros number, the Diesel engine, meitnerium, Alzheimers disease, and the Apgar score. For a different view of the process see Stiglers law of eponymy, the term is also applied to music, usually


with regard to record titles, where it is prevalent and leads to confusion. For example, Bad Companys first album was entitled Bad Company, titled a 1988 compilation album Eponymous

Viz noted that it would not be a word for word copy. Rather, Viz would select series for its magazine that it felt were the most appropriate for its American readers, Vizs version was also set to be monthly, rather than having weekly, to better fit the American comic distribution system. We will be selecting the material most appropriate for the American market, bear in mind that Shonen Jump has been running since 1968 in Japan. At 500 pages a week, that gives us 884,000 pages of material to draw from. Our lead titles are Dragon Ball Z and Yu-Gi-Oh, selected for their already-existing popularity in the US. The remainder of the titles will be a combination of those on the verge of breaking out in country. JasonThompson, one of Vizs manga editors for series including Dragon Ball was selected as the magazines first editor-in-chief, however, with greater attention being focused on manga as it became available in mainstream outlets, some titles were edited for content. Thompson noted that it was a working with some of the artists whose works would appear in the first issue. With manga anthologies having met with success in North America. To help fund the lengthy, expensive marketing campaign developed around Shonen Jump, unlike with most magazine launches, Viz decided to allow retailers to return the first two issues
