his game or in his team."

Bringing in a legend of the game is a tactic that has worked superbly for several top players in recent years. Ivan Lendl helped Andy Murray to finally win a Grand Slam tournament after a string of defeats in finals; Novak Djokovic got back to the very top of the sport this year thanks in large part to help from Boris Becker; and even Roger Federer, who has spent most of his career without a permanent coach, hired Stefan Edberg at the end of 2013 and has since been playing some of his best tennis for years.

With Nadal not having been past the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam since the 2014 French Open, speculation has been rife that the Spaniard could follow suit.

AndUncle Toni's words are the strongest indication so far that something could be in the pipeline, even if he went on to add that he'll continue as part of Team Nadal come what may.

"We have a group and I'm the coach of Rafael for ever, since Rafael was three years old... and things were always good for us," said Toni Nadal.

Nadal himself refused to be drawn on the matter, saying last week that he did not need anyone else to help him - despite the likes of John McEnroe suggesting recently that the time has come for a change.

And Uncle Toni has received backing from one major figure in the game, however: world number one Novak Djokovic,


who was asked about it after Wimbledon.

"I don't see a big reason for this to happen," the Serb said, perhaps missing the irony that Nadal's poor 2015 has coincided with Djokovic's best-ever season.

"From what I've seen, he's saying it's not necessary... He has won 14 Grand Slam titles. He's one of the best players in the game with his uncle Toni who has been with him for his entire career."

OUR VIEW

Uncle Toni is absolutely right - now is not the time to make a change, but 2016 might be. This season turned into a write-off for Nadal, but the player himself has admitted that not all was right physically: "Especially during the first six months I was feeling very tired - every time I was playing and practising,"he said. Until Rafa has had a fair crack at next season, he is probably right not to change things. If, however, he endures a poor Australian Open in Melbourne and then starts the clay season as badly as he did in 2015, then it's time to call someone in - and quickly.

– A renewed activist –

The activism marks a revival of sorts for Prince, who, since his superstardom in the 1980s, has made headlines not only for his music but for his idiosyncrasies such as changing his name to an unpronounceable symbol amid a dispute with his record label.

Even the tickets for the show — on sale a whole three days in advance — showed a different approach for Prince who in recent years has grown fond of announcing concerts at the last minute.

But even if he has preferred the seclusion of hisPaisley Park estate in Minnesota, Prince has never, from the start of his career, played it safe.

In an allusion to his early risk-taking, Prince performed the title track of “Controversy,” his sexually and politically forthright 1981 album, with the opening lines: “I just can’t believe all the things people say / Am I black or white? / Am I straight or gay?”

Prince foreshadowed his new activism at the Grammy Awards in February, where he used a brief appearance to back the Ferguson-inspired slogan, “Black lives matter.”

Prince — whose relationship with the Internet has swung from an early embrace to recent hostility — also returned to modern technology to promote the concert.

Comprehension in aphasia: a cross-linguistic study.
Broca's aphasics and normal controls were tested to determine relative sparing and impairment of word order, grammatical morphology, and semantic information in a sentence interpretation task. Patients were native speakers of English, German, or Italian, languages that vary drastically in the "cue validity" or information value of these three sources of information. Word order was selectively spared while grammatical morphology was selectively impaired in all three languages. Nevertheless, language-specific patterns of sentence interpretation remained in Broca's aphasics, even within the impaired morphological component, supporting an interpretation in terms of "accessing" rather than a "loss." Testing with Wernicke's aphasics, anomics, and some additional age-matched controls suggested that the selective vulnerability of morphology is not specific to agrammatic patients, at least in this paradigm.industry that was outlawed in the UK 17 years ago?

Book Early To Guarantee European Cruise

January 7, 1996|By LARRY FOX and BARBARA RADIN FOX Special to The Washington Post

It's difficult to think about cruising the summer seas of Europe while holiday carols are still echoing, yet this is the prime time to begin booking cruises for the 1996 season in Europe. That's because of several factors:

-- Unlike the Caribbean, where numerous cruise lines offer sailings year-round, the cruising season in Europe is fairly short, from April through October at best.

-- And again unlike in the Caribbean or the summer season in Alaska, where the cruise itineraries are fixed and rarely change, the European cruise schedules vary often, with some routes being offered by some ships only once a year.

-- Waiting can bring some sharp savings on Caribbean cruiseswrites David Orr in The Earth in Mind. “But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as our culture has defined it.”

So what would be relevant? Educational experiences designed with and around students to understand themselves, their communities, and the planet. In the end 21st Century Skills would be gained, but through personally and collectively meaningful experiences that allow students to develop these skills through projects based on their passions and interests and in collaboration with others in their community–store owners, social service agencies, scientists,

Trump denies knowing Carroll.(Photo by Eva Deitch for The Washington Post via Getty Images)

The writer E. Jean Carroll, who has accused President Donald Trump of raping her years ago in the dressing room of a Manhattan luxury department store, on Monday filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump for saying that she was lying and motivated by money and a political agenda.

Carroll's suit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court is the latest of several defamation claims filed by women against Trump after he denied allegations about sexual misconduct by claiming the women were liars.

"Decades ago, the now President of the United


paid another way," Grisham said.

"The story she used to try and sell her trash book never happened, period," Grisham said. "Her version of events is not even feasible if you've ever tried on clothing in a dressing room of a crowded department store. The lawsuit is frivolous and the story is a fraud – just like the author."

Carroll, 75, had claimed in a New York magazine article in June that Trump had raped her in a dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman after a chance encounter in that upscale store in late 1995 or 1996.

After her article was published, the president denied ever meeting Carroll, much less raping her. However, there is a photo showing Trump and Carroll with other people from the 1980s.

Summary

From sleepy Caldwell to sunny Ventura, the Temple branches out and finds new converts …

Drew clicked on the address in the text message his father sent him: Ocean Drive, Ventura. His father had mentioned his desire to purchase a beach home, but he rarely believed his father. Drew’s dad talked a big talk, but never walked the walk. When his mother and father divorced, Drew learned that he could not rely on his father, except for the occasional ‘guilt check’, a dollop of cash designed to assuage Drew’s father guilt. The guilt checks came when Drew’s dad failed to appear at his high school lacrosse championship match or one of the many college events that a responsible father would have attended. In the high school and college, Drewrarely contacted his father. He waited for his father to call, and that call almost never came. As an adult, Drew accepted his father for what he was: an immature man on the verge of mid-life crisis.

Drew drove along the Pacific Coastal Highway, the mid-afternoon sun beaming upon his face. “Nothing like a convertible in Cali.”, Drew thought to himself. At least his father was good for something. Drew’s dad owned several car dealerships. When he graduated from college, Drew summoned to the courage to approach his father and say “I need a car.” His father obliged, providing him with a certified pre-owned Tesla Roadster. Drew glide down the highway at a comfortable 50 mph, ignoring the blaring horns of the other vehicles annoyed at Drew’s pace. Drew


saluted all the cars that flipped him the bird, shouting, in a happy, sing-song tone, “Fuck you, assholes.”

Eventually, Drew reached Ocean Drive and pulled into the driveway of the beach front property in Ventura. “You’ve arrived.”, the annoying voice on Drew’s GPS announced.

“No shit, stupid.”, Drew answered the inanimate GPS voice. He hopped out of his convertible, grabbed his overnight bag and headed for the rear of the house. He assumed that his father would be on the beach. He plopped his overnight bag on the rear deck and surveyed the beach. He spotted two men near the water’s edge. “Is that him?”, Drew muttered. He kicked off his high-tops and sweat socks and headed for the beach, wearing his cargo shorts and athletic shirt. The closer heroom table. His father and Seth sat side by side, on the opposite. Seth poured many glasses of a fine Cabernet. Out of respect for his father, Drew decided to spend the night and gather as much information on the two lovers. Seth, the wine snob, rose from the table to decant another bottle of wine. He returned to the table with another glass decanter filled with a dark red. As Seth poured the wine, Drew asked, “Where did you guys meet?”

“Yes. The Temple of Priapus. It’s a non-deific spiritual house of worship. I’m a Cyntaf Piden at the Temple. I was canvassing your father’s neighborhood when we met.”, Seth answered.

Drew could not believe his ears. He wanted to laugh in Seth’s face, but his father’s deadpan expression


I worship all with passion and without discrimination.”

Drew listened to his father’s scripted reply. He sounded like a digital recording on playback. He rose from the dinner table and said, “I don’t know what drugs you fed my father, but I’m calling the police.” Before he could reach his phone, Drew suddenly collapsed, having succumb from the sedatives slipped into the last two decanters of wine.

Drew opened his eyes. He was sitting on the couch in the den. He focused on the large-screen television. The image of a midnight sky filled the screen. Suddenly, the image seemed to come to life, as the stars that filled the midnight sky scene twinkled and flashed. A deep, bass voice began the voice over. “As numerous as the stars is thediversity of man. In all shapes and sizes, he comes. Man has at its core one basis identity: the phallus. It defines our very nature. The phallus unites all human males. We each have a phallus, made in the image of the Great Father. Sex bonds us to our phallus but also to one another. As humans, we must devote our being to cock. Sexual orientation of the devotee is not important. Rather, interaction with cock is integral to his worship and devotion.”

Drew watched and listened to the video. The sedatives Seth slipped into his wine at dinner lulled Drew into a dazed, relaxed mood. He watched the flashing lights of the stars, clueless soaking in all the subliminal messages and images that infiltrated his mind. The starry


he could find the perfect convert, someone that would financially support his lifestyle. When he researched Drew’s background, Seth decided to ensnare Ken’s son for his friend, Noah, one of the younger trainers at the gym. The foursome would enjoy Ken’s largesse and beach house lifestyle.

For the remainder of the evening, until the dawn, the four men worshipped privately in their respective bedrooms, taking cum-munion and learning how ‘cock binds us all’.

Two months later —

“Drew. Drew Thomas.”, a voice called out. “Is that you?”

Drew turned around to face the voice. In the crowded streets of downtown Ventura, during the July Festival, Drew did not expect someone to call out his name. He had lost contact with his friends since he moved from Los Angeles to Ventura. “Oh. Hi!”,Cash in circulation and ATM withdrawals have only increased, RBI data shows

Thursday, November 8, marks the second anniversary of the demonetisation exercise. It was on the same day in 2016 that Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that ₹1,000 and ₹500 currency notes would no longer be legal tender. These notes constituted over 86% of the currency in circulation, then.

One of the objectives of demonetisation was to move to a ‘less-cash’ society. However, two years down the line, it appears the objective has not been achieved.

According to Reserve Bank of India (RBI) data, currency in circulation rose to ₹19.6 lakh crore as on October 26, 2018, a 9.5% growth from two years ago. The currency in circulation was ₹17.9 lakh crore on November 4, 2016, the week before the


increase in the festival season. Cash withdrawals from ATMs fell sharply during the demonetisation exercise, hitting ₹1.06 lakh crore in December 2016.

ATM numbers

While cash withdrawals have gained pace, addition of ATMs has been slow. In the last two years, about 8,000-odd ATMs had been added. In the three months till August 2018, ATMs expansion has picked up again with about 1,000 ATMs being added every month. There are 2.28 lakh ATMs as of August 2018.

and intentions that are separate from the conduct and intentions that give rise to culpability for assault with a firearm.
Finally, Mesa argues he should not have been punished for both possessing a firearm and possessing ammunition. We disagree with this contention as *777 well. Where, as here, a felon has possession of both a firearm and ammunition that is not in the firearm, separate punishments may be imposed.
Accordingly, we reverse Mesa's convictions in part and remand for further proceedings.

FACTUAL BACKGROUND
The record shows Mesa was a member of the Coroneros set of the Corona Varios Locos criminal street gang.
On the evening of April 27, 2007, Ghalen W. was asleep next to his four-year-old son in the apartment in Corona where he lived with his two other sons and theirmother. April 27 was prom night and Ghalen's oldest son Jeron was at home that evening with his prom date. Around 10:00 p.m., Jeron woke Ghalen up and asked him to go outside with him and his date so that they could meet his date's mother. Jeron told his father a group of guys were hanging around outside the apartment.
Ghalen went outside his apartment and saw a group of five or six Hispanic males, including Mesa. Ghalen told his son and his date to stay near the apartment while Ghalen went to see if the date's mother had arrived. As Ghalen walked toward the street, Mesa confronted him and said: "Why are you walking tough in my neighborhood, Holmes?" Ghalen believed this statement meant Mesa and the others


were members of a gang and he was in their territory. Ghalen told Mesa he was not from the area, hoping that would satisfy Mesa. It did not. Mesa responding by saying: "But you're still walking tough in my neighborhood." Ghalen then explained he was just there for his son's prom; Mesa repeated the statement "You're still walking tough in my neighborhood." As Mesa continued walking towards Ghalen, Ghalen remembered one of the doors of his car, which was in front of him, was unlocked. Mesa pulled out a gun, pointed it at Ghalen and began shooting as Ghalen dove into his car. Ghalen heard three shots fired and felt severe pain. Mesa looked in the back window of the car and began running. Ghalen had been shotin the side and the bullet traveled through his body and exited on the left side of his torso.
Two days after Ghalen was shot, on April 29, 2007, Alvin Pierre was riding his bike to a shopping center in Corona. As Pierre rode into the parking lot, he heard Mesa say: "What the fuck are you looking at?" Pierre rode past Mesa, got off his bike near a store and tried to ask Mesa what he had said. Before Pierre could complete a sentence, Mesa pulled out a gun and shot Pierre in the groin. The bullet entered Pierre's left leg, traveled through his scrotum, and exited from his right leg. Pierre's shattered left testicle had to be removed.
*778 Police arrested Mesa in his home on May 30,


dismissed those counts pursuant to section 1385.
As to both the Ghalen and Pierre shootings, the jury found Mesa guilty of assault with a firearm, being a felon in possession of a firearm, and participating in a criminal street gang. With respect to his arrest, the jury found Mesa guilty on the third count of firearm possession and the ammunition possession count.
In addition to the substantive crimes for which he was found guilty, the jury found true a number of special circumstance allegations. With respect to both assault convictions, the jury found Mesa had committed great bodily harm and had personally used a firearm. With respect to the Ghalen shooting and Mesa's possession of a firearm during the shooting, the jury found true gang enhancement allegations. Mesa admitted theand commit a multitude of crimes against the peaceful citizens of their neighborhoods. These activities, both individually and collectively, present a clear and present danger to public order and safety and are not constitutionally protected. The Legislature finds that there are nearly 600 criminal street gangs operating in California, and that the number of gang-related murders is increasing. The Legislature also finds that in Los Angeles County alone there were 328 gang-related murders in 1986, and that gang homicides in 1987 have increased 80 percent over 1986. It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to seek the eradication of criminal activity by street gangs by focusing upon patterns of criminal gang activity and upon the organized nature of street gangs, which together, are the


chief source of terror created by street gangs. The Legislature further finds that an effective means of punishing and deterring the criminal activities of street gangs is through forfeiture of the profits, proceeds, and instrumentalities acquired, accumulated, or used by street gangs." (§ 186.21, italics added.)
(4) Given these findings, the Legislature enacted section 186.22, subdivision (a), which makes it a crime to participate in street gang activity. Section 186.22, subdivision (a), states: "Any person who actively participates in any criminal street gang with knowledge that its members engage in or have engaged in a pattern of criminal gang activity, and who willfully promotes, furthers, or assists in any felonious criminal conduct by members of that gang, shall be punished by imprisonment in a county jail for a periodany shots were fired. The pattern of Mesa's gang activity clearly had already had its impact. The fear Mesa and his fellow gang members created in the minds of that young man and his date on the evening of their prom was the very focus of the Legislature in enacting the Street Gang Act. (See § 186.21.) Importantly, Mesa would have and could have reinforced those fears by committing any number of different and lesser offenses against Jeron's father or his property and still been liable under section 186.22, subdivision (a). Mesa chose to assault Ghalen with a firearm. The shots Mesa fired had a direct and devastating impact on Ghalen; however, in light of the express purposes of the Street Crime Act, we cannot turn a blind


We New Yorkers were excited by the fact that for the first time in 24 years (on the Democratic side) or the first time ever (on the Republican side), our votes were going to make a difference in the nomination of a presidential candidate.

And did they ever. Bad exit polls suggested Bernie Sanders was giving Hillary Clinton a race, but in a matter of minutes, it was clear they were wrong. She just walloped him.

This means New York’s Democrats have brought the Bernie insurgency closer to its inevitable end.

Here in New York, reality bit the Bernie bandwagon. He may deliver endless lectures about how money is everything in politics, but he outspent her in New York by 2-to-1 and she still romped. So give a listen in oldin all fifty-two states, and although it remains illegal at a federal level, eleven states and two territories have legalized the plant for recreational use, while sixteen more have decriminalized it.

Colorado and Washington led the recreational charge in 2012, when they became the first two states to legalize cannabis. They have continued to forge ahead by example ever since.

While Canadians have struggled with the concepts of edibles for far too long, creating delay after delay in bringing these products to the legal market, our neighbors to the South seem to have it largely figured out.

But they are not without drama – an outright ban on cannabis-infused candies and gummies was only narrowly defeated in Washington just last year.

Storm CrowAlthoughAssociation of air pollution and mortality in the Ludhiana city of India: a time-series study.
With rapid industrialization, the quality of the air is being compromised in several Indian cities. Hence, the effect of air pollution on mortality was studied in the Ludhiana city of Punjab in northern India. Air quality and meteorological and mortality data were obtained for 2002-2004. Punjab Pollution Control Board monitored air quality on specific week days at different sites. Respirable suspended particulate matter (RSPM) (equivalent of PM 10 ) was measured by the gravimetric method and NOx and SO 2 by chemical method. The estimation of the daily average RSPM level was attempted by combining 24-h average of the monitoring stations working on a particular day.

LOUIS — Mourners lined up Monday morning outside Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church for the funeral of Michael Brown.

By 8 a.m. local time, a blistering sun bore down on the crowd as they waited anxiously to enter the church.

Several men guarded two double doors to a side entrance of the church outside. They asked each person approaching that door for a purple wristband that family members had been told to wear. Once cleared, family members were allowed to enter.

Inside, the members of Brown's family sat in a waiting area just outside the doors to the part of the church where the service will be held.

Many nervously chatted and talked about the loss of a young man who was just 18 years old. Brown's body will be laid


to rest here Monday, but the controversy swirling around his death is far from over.

On Sunday, the teen's parents saw their son for the first time since his death and tried to prepare for a burial that will test their strength.

About 100 family members and friends gathered Sunday for a private viewing of Brown's body at Austin A. Layne Mortuary. They gazed at Brown, who lay with his arms crossed in a gold and black casket. He wore a blue-and-white-checked shirt, a navy blue sweater vest and a neatly tied red-and-blue-striped bow tie. He showed no sign of the gunshots that ended his life Aug. 9.

Brown's parents each spent time alone with his body. Then other people came in.

The story of Brown has been unavoidable since the black18-year-old was shot by a white police officer on Aug. 9. in Ferguson, Mo., but Michael Brown Sr. said seeing his son's dead body made the past two weeks real.

He said he wanted Monday, the day of his son's funeral, to be without demonstrations.

"I really don't want protesters tomorrow," the father said. "Our son needs to have a moment of silence for tomorrow."

Earlier in the day, Michael Brown Sr. spent most of his time at the private viewing pacing the carpet and greeting people. After a while he took off his T-shirt, making a new tattoo of his son's face visible outside his undershirt on his right shoulder.

The room was mostly silent save for sobs and babies' cries. Brown's grandmother, Desuirea Harris, sat in a corner outside the


room, crying uncontrollably, embraced by family members. She later joined McSpadden on a pew just to the right of the casket.

Many people stopped to hug McSpadden, 34, who wore a T-shirt with a photo of her son in his graduation cap and gown and a photo of McSpadden looking distraught. Her shirt said, "He was special 2 me" on the front. The back said, "To my children, if I had to choose between loving you and breathing ... I would use my last breath to tell you I love you."

Other family members wore blue-and-white shirts that said "A Bond Never Broken" with a photo of Brown and his mother.

Brown was the oldest of three children. He leaves two sisters, Deja Brown, 15, and Mi-Kelle Brown, 1. He alsohas seven step-siblings, his father said.

For almost an hour, Deja stood staring at her brother's body in silence.

Gospel music played quietly in the background. "There is power in the name of Jesus," one song said. "He will break every chain."

White fabric lined the inside of Brown's casket. The lower half of his body was cloaked in a gold and black metal covering matching the casket. His face, chest and arms were in a clear casing so people could see his body but not touch it.

A collage of photos showed Brown as a young child, a growing teenager and in his graduation cap. A black and white poster had photos of him in a baseball cap, looking blankly with headphones on and smirking at the camera. The poster said,


"There are no goodbyes for us. Wherever you are, you will always be in our hearts."

Two flat-screen TVs played a slide show of photos: Brown in a pool laughing, opening gifts at Christmas, listening to headphones while several woman laughed in a kitchen.

The Rev. Charles Ewing, the late teen's great-uncle, announced at the private viewing that family members will need to wear specially colored wrist bands to enter the family meal after the burial. He said police would escort the family to the church, burial and meal.

"We will get through this," he said.

Just before the viewing was over, Ewing led the family and friends in prayer.

"Help us, Lord, to get through this," he said. "Help us to bind together in the spirit of unity and let peace prevail.Co.

This means that the user can perform a passage through the acoustic piano tones or electronic tones.
In any sort of keyboard musical instrument, keys are indispensable component parts of the keyboard musical instrument, and serves as an interface between the keyboard musical instrument and users. The users specify the pitches of the tones to be produced through the keys. The acoustic keyboard musical instruments such as pianos give unique key-touch to the players, and the key-touch on the electronic keyboards is different from that of the acoustic keyboard musical instrument. Since the players are familiar with the key-touch on their keyboard musical instruments, the players, who usually play on the acoustic pianos, feel the keys of the electronic keyboards unfamiliar, and the players, who finger pieces of musicon the electronic keyboard, feel the keys of the acoustic pianos strange. Professional pianists discriminate the key-touch of their own pianos from the key-touch of other pianos.
One of the factors of the key-touch is the appropriate difference between moment of force and the counter moment of force exerted on the respective keys. Another factor of the key-touch is the largeness of inertial of the respective keys. The keys are put on the balance rail so that the balance rail gives the fulcrums to the keys. Each key supports the action unit at the rear portion thereof, and exerts moment on the key. On the other hand, key balance pieces are, by way of example, embedded in the front portions of the keys in grand pianos, and exert the

The resilient tubular members are well fit in the holes. However, the rigid columns are merely held in the resilient tubular members by the agency of the resiliency of the resilient tubular members. In case where the rigid columns are finished smaller than the design drawing, the rigid columns are liable to be dropped out from the resilient tubular members.

The Gilletts divorced in 2001, and ownership of the property was conveyed to Ms. Gillett by quitclaim deed.
[¶5] Ms. Gillett had her land surveyed in 2004 and discovered that approximately one acre of her property was enclosed inside the barbed wire fence on the Whites' side of the boundary. She informed the Whites that she intended to move the fence to the legal boundary and in 2005 the Whites filed their complaint seeking to have title to the strip of land quieted in them. While conceding Ms. Gillett held legal title to the strip of land, the Whites claimed they had maintained actual, open, notorious, exclusive, continuous and hostile possession of the strip since purchasing their property in


1988. They further claimed the strip had been on their side of the fence and constantly and uninterruptedly used by them and the previous owners since 1983. They asked the district court to grant exclusive ownership of the strip to them and order the execution of a warranty deed naming them as the owner.
[¶6] After Ms. Gillett answered the complaint, the Whites filed a motion for summary judgment. With the motion, they filed an affidavit in which they stated that the barbed wire fence on the south side of the property had constituted the boundary line between the two properties since 1983 and had never changed. They also stated they had maintained actual, open, exclusive and continuous possession of the strip on their side of the fence undera claim of right since 1988 and had used the strip as an integral part of their ranch operation since that time.
[¶7] Ms. Gillett responded to the summary judgment claiming the Stilles erected the fence as a matter of convenience. Ms. Gillett further asserted that when the Stilles sold the north half of the property to the Confers, the parties agreed as a matter of convenience to maintain the fence in its existing location rather than go to the expense of moving it onto the actual legal boundary between the two properties. Ms. Gillett also claimed the ten year period for claiming adverse possession stopped when she and her husband purchased the parcel in 1997. Finally, she argued under Wyoming law adverse possession is to be utilized as


basis, she argues, the Whites could not bring a claim for title to the strip of land by adverse possession. In support of her claim, she cites Northern Pacific Railway Co. v. United States, 277 F.2d 615, (10th Cir. 1960).
[¶13] Ms. Gillett misunderstands Northern Pacific. In that case, the United States brought a quiet title action claiming title to property on the basis of a deed and adverse possession. In its complaint, the United States also asserted the defendant was barred from claiming title to the disputed property by the Wyoming statutes of limitation, which required claims for recovery of property to be brought within ten years after the cause of action accrued and by the doctrine of laches. The court of appeals held the United States, as1988. It is undisputed the strip of land lies inside the fence line on the Whites' side of the fence as it has since at least 1983. By presentation of this evidence, the Whites established a presumption of adverse possession, and the burden shifted to Ms. Gillett to present evidence showing the Whites' possession was not actual, open, notorious, exclusive, continuous for ten years, hostile or under color of title.
[¶17] In opposition to the Whites' motion, Ms. Gillett argued the fence was a fence of convenience, meaning the Whites' use of the strip of land was permissive and their claim to ownership of the land by adverse possession must fail. In support of her argument, she filed an affidavit in which she stated:

By the end of the 1930s, Los Angeles had become an important base of operations for several U.S. pro-Nazi groups. In response, the lawyer Leon Lewis and the journalist Joseph Roos founded the Los Angeles Jewish Community Committee (LAJCC). Leslie Epstein, reviewing two recent books about the organization, explains how it operated:

As Jews, [Lewis and Roos] could not risk going into the field (though both were eventually threatened and one of them, Roos, badly beaten); instead they hired a series of non-Jewish men and women to infiltrate the Friends of the New Germany, the German American Bund, the Silver Shirts, and as many as possible of the other like-minded groups


the pro-Nazi groups had formed cells that were following orders from Berlin. Their members met German ships that supplied them with propaganda matter and sometimes with personnel. These groups made plans to steal weapons from sympathetic guards at armories; arms were stored around the city in factories and private homes. Strategies for sabotaging power plants and naval facilities were studied, revised, and kept in waiting.

Armed paramilitary groups like the Silver Shirts—an American fascist group modeled after the Brownshirts, they sewed their own uniforms to prevent them from being touched by Jewish tailors—paraded in the Hollywood Hills. That same group also kept maps showing where prominent Jews lived and had allies in the LAPD, including Chief James E. Davis, who seemed to believe that all Jews were Communists. .                                   )

In prior art systems for plotting and scanning graphic images, a graphic image is plotted or scanned through the use of a beam of light that is caused to travel over a target, such as film or a document, in a precise, predetermined path. At each point along this path, the light beam, which is typically a laser, strikes a particular region on the target corresponding to an image pixel. In a plotting operation, the striking of this region of the film target causes it to become exposed. In a scanning operation, the striking of this region of the image target causes a certain amount of the light beam to be reflected. The reflected light is measured, and is used to generate image data that is stored andprocessed, as required.
In typical prior art systems, mechanical and electronic means are provided to move the light beam along the path while the target remains stationary. In other prior art systems, in addition to manipulating the light beam, the target is also moved to facilitate travel of the light beam along the predetermined path.
For example, in so-called "flatbed" systems, the target is mounted to a flat target surface, and the light beam is maneuvered over the target using movable mirrors or other means known in the art.
In an internal drum system, the target is mounted to the inside of a hollow cylindrical drum. Travel of the light beam along the target path is typically accomplished by moving a light beam assembly along the inside length of the drum,

Toy Rifle Confrontation with Officers

MERRIAM, Kan. (AP) Police say an eastern Kansas teenager is lucky he didn’t get shot after pointing a toy assault rifle at an officer he thought was a member of an opposing Airsoft team.

The Kansas City Star reports Merriam police responded at 8:20 a.m. Thursday after someone saw three people in camouflage and carrying rifles jump out of a van and run behind a house.

Armed officers rounded the corner of the house and were confronted by two people with guns. One of the youths pointed his gun in the direction of police, but an officer noticed orange paint on the barrel indicating it was a toy.

Polyaniline film formation in hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide admicelles on hydrous zirconia surface.
Formation of a thin polyaniline film on hydrous zirconia (ZrO2) surface was carried out using adsorbed surfactant bilayers on ZrO2 as reaction sites. Aniline was adsolubilized in hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (HDTAB) admicelles formed on the surface of ZrO2 by adsorption. Subsequent polymerization of the adsolubilized aniline monomer showed effective conversion of aniline to polyaniline. The formation of the polyaniline coated ZrO2 has been confirmed by UV-visible spectroscopy, FT-IR spectroscopy, and conductivity measurements. Various parameters involved during the adsorption process were studied. Selection of pH 9.0 as the pH of all experimental feed solutions was governed by the knowledge of point of zero charge (PZC) of ZrO2. Effect of aniline concentration on HDTAB adsorption was studied and itDarren Till is approaching the biggest fight of his young career against Donald Cerrone, but he has already decided who he wants to face next if his hand is raised in Gdansk on Oct. 21.

In the final weeks, the polls showed the race to be close, but every single one of them predicted a Bradley win with a fairly comfortable margin. On the day of the election, the exit polls all showed the election to a bit closer then predicted, but projected a Bradley win.

When the votes were counted, Bradley had narrowly lost the election. Post-election research revealed that some white voters had apparently lied about their support for Bradley, and the "undecideds" all broke for his opponent by an unusually huge margin. From this event over 25 years ago, the "Bradley Effect" was coined as a term in politics. It


was also blamed for inaccurate polling in some later races, most notably Jesse Jackon's run for the nomination in 1988 against the frontrunner (Dukakis). Polls suggested he was going to be a serious contender for the nomination, win some states, and could count on getting at least a third of the votes nationally in the crowded field, but he actually received only a quarter.

In Barack Obama's fight for the nomination, some people suggested a Bradley Effect in New Hampshire, but other experts instead believed the polls were just seriously flawed. Some researchers also believed that a Bradley effect was present during Super Tuesday, which Obama had won but sometimes not by the margin predicted by the polls.

eyewitness report that stated that Raoul Wallenberg remained alive in captivity, and posted a letter to him in the reported prison location. She would not become directly involved in the Wallenberg case until October 1989, after Soviet authorities returned Wallenberg's possessions to his next-of-kin,  acknowledging their “tragic mistake,” but failing to present any evidence of his death. At this point, Mesinai states, she committed herself to the task of ascertaining Wallenberg's fate “beyond reasonable doubt.”

In 1991, Mesinai and Mikhail Kazachkov, a recently released Soviet prisoner, created the Ark Project, dedicated to enforcing “rule of law” in the case of foreign prisoners in the Gulag. Kazachkov and Mesinai initiated a trans-Russia appeal for information regarding missing American prisoners of war, both through publication in the human rights pressindependent colleagues, Dr. Marvin Makinen of the University of Chicago, himself a former inmate of Vladimir Prison, and Ari Kaplan, prize-winning mathematician and statistician, to continue their combined studies initiated in Russia between 1997 and 2000.  Building upon Makinen and Kaplan’s original report, Cell Occupancy Analysis of Korpus 2 of the Vladimir Prison, Mesinai focused on day-by-day movements of “unlisted” prisoners, without name or number. Together with Associate Aaron Slavik, who researches Soviet methods of concealment, Mesinai has added seven new findings that would verify previous eyewitness reports. Using the Russians' own registration system, she has further pinpointed one who remains "most likely" Raoul Wallenberg coming and going from Vladimir Prison over a 25-year period.

According to the Inspector General investigation, ICE contracted with the city of Eloy, Arizona, in 2006 to hold 1,500 immigrant detainees at the Eloy Detention Center. The city, in turn, contracted with the private prison company Corrections Corporation of America (CCA, now known as CoreCivic) to operate the detention center.

However, a “surge” of undocumented immigrants entering the country in 2014 meant that ICE needed more space for detainees—specifically families and unaccompanied children—that the Eloy Detention Center couldn’t provide, according to the investigation. So, ICE entered into negotiations with CCA to build and operate the Southhow do we define personal responsibility and the actual definition of life vs. existence.

As a historian of RCL, I am compelled to search for primary artifacts that demonstrate tangible rhetorical education and literacy practices and lost voices, even as I recognize that writing is hard, but can be rewarding. It is the struggles and rewards of writing and research that I want share with my colleagues and students.

Q: How do you involve or impact students, both graduate and undergraduate, in your research work and projects?

A: I want students to appreciate the challenges and rewards of writing and research. With that in mind, I designed an English 160W class that required undergraduate students to visit the “Sorting Out Race” exhibition at the Henry Madden Library. Students viewed items of the collection in a mock thrift shop, which presented

Message from the Dean

Dear Friends,

What an extraordinary spring this has been! Fresno is always so lovely this time of year,was mostly raised by extraordinary, highly dysfunctional, crazy Southern women. My mother’s mother was an actress in New Orleans in the 1930s. She met my grandfather and moved to Warm Springs, Georgia, and he was good friends with Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He had a thousand acres growing peaches and pulpwood. They had this beautiful life, and my mother and her three sisters were born into it. My mother remembers Roosevelt stopping in the yard saying, “Hiya, neighbor!” Then they went from this incredible cultured bucolic life to my grandfather dying from diabetes in my mother’s arms when she was 14. Then the house burned down, my grandmother went insane. She was a nurse and got addicted to amphetamines because of the grief of losing her husband and raising

Conor Brannigan was married with three children, was engaged separately to two other partners and had a girlfriend in Poland with another child.

Brannigan (41), from Stafford Hall, Silver Street, Nenagh, Co Tipperary, admitted defrauding one of his potential brothers-in-law of €250,000 in a land deal.

He pleaded guilty to three separate charges of defrauding vet James Hoare. The offences were committed on dates in 2010 and 2011.

During an interview with gardai he admitted to "living four separate lives".

Detective Garda David McDonnell told Roscommon Circuit Criminal Court that Brannigan met Mr Hoare through the vet's sister who was his girlfriend.

At various times Brannigan told Mr Hoare that he was an


accountant used to acting in land deals and later stated that he was a forensic accountant acting for a London-based venture capital company dealing in distressed properties.

Mr Hoare engaged him to buy a substantial plot of land in Co Roscommon.

In August 2010 Brannigan indicated to Mr Hoare that the land could be bought for €250,000. The money was subsequently transferred in three amounts – €6,000, €25,000 and €219,000 – totalling €250,000 to a bank account controlled by Brannigan.

Mr Hoare, who was working in the UK while his family was at home, had to get a loan of €219,000 from Barclay's Bank to fund the purchase.

In late 2010 Mr Hoare tried to contact Brannigan to confirm the sale had gone through, only to be told that he was inhospital in Galway and that he had not completed the deal.

Property prices were falling and Brannigan felt that the price of the land could be re-negotiated. But with the banks now coming under pressure, Mr Hoare became concerned about his money and Brannigan said he arranged to transfer it along with €4m of his own money to a bank in Poland.

In January 2011 a new price of €185,000 was suggested for the land and later that year Brannigan became engaged to Mr Hoare's sister.

The vet received a call in October 2011 to say that Ulster Bank had possession of the land and would sell it for €165,000 and this was agreed. But some weeks later Brannigan advised Mr Hoare that the Commercial Division of the High Court was


now dealing with the sale.

Mr Hoare made his own enquiries and discovered that there was no mention of the matter in the High Court, but he found a number of outstanding judgments against Brannigan.

He emailed Brannigan asking for his money back and his sister then told him that he had "come clean" to her and the money was gone. His sister was very upset at the revelation.

Mr Hoare received an email from Brannigan admitting "a very deep breach of trust" and confirming that he was in deep financial trouble.

He said that KPMG had seized the money on behalf of a company he had set up with another man. When KPMG was approached, there was no money in the account.

Garda McDonnell confirmed that Mr Hoare was out of pocketthat he was now living alone in local authority housing and had no income other than social welfare.

Defence barrister Stephen Groarke acknowledged that the fraud had "enormous ramifications" for Mr Hoare.

Judge Tony Hunt said the amounts involved were so large that there was no prospect of them being repaid by Brannigan and a custodial sentence was required in the circumstances.

He sentenced him to two years in prison, but suspended the last 12 months. "His conduct was absolutely appalling," the judge added.

The Syrians and Iraqis at Your Dinner Table

Each detail of our daily lives has a history and, just as with any history, it is a history we would do well to learn from. Consider the biology of your dinner table. Your table itself is Syrian or Iraqi as is most of the food on it.

Mesopotamia, about which we all learn in middle school and then promptly forget, is the region between (meso), the two rivers (potomus), the Tigris and the Euphrates. It includes Syria in the West and Iraq in the Southeast and, biologically speaking, should probably also include the Zagros mountains of Iran to the East.

In the Zagros mountains, the ancestors of those who would build the first cities of Mesopotamia lived in forests and grasslands inwhich they ate wild pistachios and almonds from trees and harvested wild grain. They killed and ate wild goats. They consumed, in short, the ancestors of the foods we eat and then, when that wasn’t enough, they domesticated them. It was in the Zagros mountains that the ancestors of modern Iranians, Syrians and Iraqis domesticated wheat, barley, pomegranates, and, later, the pistachios and almonds.

Later, the people of the Zagros Mountains moved down the hill to the wet region between the Tigris and Euphrates, where they farmed and settled. Either in those settlements or earlier in the mountains, they baked the first bread ever baked. They also brewed the first beer. And, once they figured out how to produce enough grain to yield a surplus, they built larger settlements


in which they could stay for generations, breaking bread and drinking beer.

The first city was in Mesopotamia. The city has wide streets and narrow streets. It had public squares. We often credit the Romans with the inspiration for the design of our modern cites, and we should, but the Romans learned from the Greeks, who learned from the Mesopotamians.

Cities brought the first strong inequities in human civilization, the haves and the have nots, in part because agriculture produced surplus grains that could be stored and stored grains could be taxed and the taxing of stored grains allowed social structure. Inequity, in other words, was born in Mesopotamia. So too would be regional government as the powers of one individual leader (Sargon of Akkad) of one of the citiesproved enough to take over several cities.

Of course, the coordination of a regional empire was predicated on taxes, control and records. In order to have records there had to be writing. It was in Mesopotamia too, that writing would begin, the first writing (later to be invented independently in other regions around the world), writing carved into wet clay with a stylus in cuneiform characters. The first great story, the Epic of Gilgamesh, was written in such clay and it was saved, so that it could be read at future times, in the first libraries, among the largest of which was in Nineveh (modern Mosul).

The crops of our modern tables were domesticated in Mesopotamia, but many of our pests evolved their too. Most of the pests of wheat,


An Army officer who played a key role in the House’s impeachment inquiry against President Trump was escorted out of the White House on Friday, according to his attorney.

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman had been scheduled to rotate out of the White House this summer, CNN reported Friday, but speculation swirled Friday morning that he would be leaving as soon as this month.

“Today, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman was escorted out of the White House where he has dutifully served his country and his President,” David Pressman said in a statement.

Vindman’s twin brother, Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, was also ousted from his role as a judge advocate assigned to the NSC.

“We can confirm that both Lt. Cols. Vindman have been reassigned to the Department of the Army," Col. Kathleen TurnerEarly Bird Brief.

“The truth has cost Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman his job, his career, and his privacy,” Pressman said. “He did what any member of our military is charged with doing every day: he followed orders, he obeyed his oath, and he served his country, even when doing so was fraught with danger and personal peril. And for that, the most powerful man in the world ― buoyed by the silent, the pliable, and the complicit ― has decided to exact revenge.”

In a statement, Rick Manning, president of the conservative group Americans for Limited Government, praised both the move to cut back National Security Council staff and reassign Vindman.

“The simple fact is that the NSC is not a lifetime assignment, and actors like Vindman no longer have any


use, as no one in their right mind would include him in any meeting of consequence due to his role leaking confidential presidential conversations,” he said.

Though his compliance with the House investigation went directly against orders from the White House not to cooperate, whistleblower protection law covered him in terms of facing Uniform Code of Military Justice action for disobeying an order.

“If the president were to order the lieutenant colonel not to testify, that would not be a lawful order,” Sean Timmons. a former Army judge advocate and current defense attorney, told Military Times in November.

However, Timmons added, Vindman could face retribution in terms of his career. As part of his detailing to the NSC, his senior rater ― the person who writes his evaluations and recommends himfor promotion or future assignments ― could be a high-level White House civilian, who could take action that would leave a mark on his record.

Pentagon chief says Vindman should not fear Army retaliation in Trump inquiry Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Monday that an Army officer has no reason to fear retribution for testifying before Congress in the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.

Indeed, leaving his two-year assignment early, as has been reported, would leave a black mark on his record.

"Whistleblowers often sacrifice their careers because they face retaliatory acts from those superiors they reported against,” Timmons said.

Spokespeople for the White House and Army did not immediately return Military Times requests for comment, including whether he had been selected for a follow-on assignment or submitted retirement paperwork. The


Army has so far backed Vindman.

“Lt. Col. Vindman, who has served this country honorably for 20-plus years, is fully supported by the Army like every soldier, having earned a Purple Heart after being wounded in Iraq in 2004,” Army spokesman Matt Leonard told Military Times in October. “As his career assignments reflect, Lt. Col. Vindman has a long history of selfless service to his country, including combat. Lt. Col. Vindman is afforded all protections anyone would be provided in his circumstances.”the car when the rains eased that night.

Our mission the next morning, which thankfully was dry, was to join Chinzorig ‘Chinzo’ Tsogtbaatar, a PhD fellow at the Institute of Palaeontology and Geology at the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, and his team.

The ambitious plan was to recreate a journey set almost a century ago by American explorer, Roy Chapman Andrews, who discovered the first dinosaur eggs in the area in 1922, with the aim of finding our own.

The rain was a bonus as it had washed away a heavy layer of topsoil, and over the next two days uncovered literally dozens of random dinosaur bones,

In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary took their flag to the summit of Everest, while Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin wore the Explorers Club flag on their suits when they landed on the moon in 1969.

We were now carrying the same Explorers Club flag, Number #2, that Andrews took with him across the Gobi in the 1920s.

Funded by John D Rockefeller and JP Morgan, Chapman crossed the Gobi five times using the latest technology available at the time, the motor car, and it was at an area he named theFlaming Cliffs where his team literally stumbled over the first nest of dinosaur eggs.

Andrews’s convoy was lost, so while he asked local farmers for directions, one of his crew strolled away from his car and tripped over the eggs.

In keeping with the modern technology theme, this expedition comprising palaeontologists, geologists and archaeologists borrowed help from NASA and its latest thermal-imaging drone cameras to uncover 200 new data points and potentially three new species.

Parking the QX50 on the edge of some particularly soft sand and under the guidance of Chinzo, we carefully walked around what we were told was quicksand – not able to walk on, let alone drive on, and was indiscernible to the untrained eye.

It had the consistency of a gooey, sand-covered water balloon that should you


further on, as this species was considered rare in this part of the Gobi.

Our final trek to dinner at the foot of the Flaming Cliffs, so named after the bright-red colour they give off at sunset, sprung a few last surprises.

This location, 96 years after Andrews found those first eggs, wasn’t done with us yet, as our walk uncovered new fragments of eggs found under our feet by Chinzo as we stepped gingerly down the cliff face.

The Synagogue of Satan (Yes, Virginia, that is in the new testament) is not a fit place for man or beast and Rabbinical Judaism formed in opposition to the One True Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church (Outside of which there is neither salvation or sanctification - Pope Pius IX) and it has been an implacable enemy of the one true Church since its inception - after the destruction of Jerusalem as a punishment for Deicide.

Modern attempts to befog the truth have severely harmed the innocent faithful who have been duped into thinking (see Mark Shea and his Dual Covenant Theory) that a Jew can be saved outside the one true Church.

And the absolute worst hatred that can be directed at any Jew is to refuse to try and convert him (See Pope Benedict XVI in his trilogy) for that leaves him on the highway to Hell but the modern Catholic Church fears the Jews more than it fears the Jews will have hell to pay for being Messias-Deniers.

A couple of months passed and soon after I began to embark upon the world of SoundCloud, I noticed that Go Go Bizkitt! had even more pots on the boil with a stellar bunch of remixes all available for free and upon getting in touch with him he told me that he'd just been signed on to release some EPs.
