China-US trade dispute if prolonged

Tensions between the two economic powerhouses will lead to fragmented technology markets and, if prolonged, drag down Singapore's economy, says Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, who urges both countries to find ways to establish mutual trust.

Chinese internet giant sets up a semiconductor company and unveils plans to release its own artificial intelligence processor, as it looksWalmart Canada has pulled a line of women's T-shirts from its website after fielding complaints that their accompanying product descriptions were offensive and sexist.

The descriptions included tales of female groupies who serve as sex objects for hockey players and enjoy a golden shower.

A third-party dealer sold the T-shirts on Walmart's site for close to a year before the company yanked them this week and apologized, after several women complained on Facebook.

The tees and their descriptive text that showed up on Walmart's site were created in 2010 by Arizona sports apparel company Sauce Hockey. It's under new ownership, but former Arizona Coyotes hockey player Paul Bissonnette, a Canadian, held a stake in the company when the line was launched.

One description for a T-shirt called Road Bunny Women's Burnout indicated it was designed for the woman who's "more interested in the visiting team coming to town, because there's fresh faces and more hockey players to creep on."

Text for a jersey titled Sauce Intern Women's Crew implied it was inspired by the "super fan girl" who volunteers for the hockey crew just to get close to the players. "By the end of the season she's 'dated' half the team."

A Stage 5 Clinger Tee included a tale of a hockey player's clingy one-night stand. "Bad mistake taking this girl home," it said. "Give her a golden shower maybe?" it suggested to get rid of her. "Nope, she loved it."

"Golden shower? Like, I can't believe that. I'm honestly speechless," said Jared Shapransky, the company's vice-president of marketing.

Shapransky said Sauce Hockey supplied the product descriptions and IceJerseys didn't read them before posting the items on Walmart's site.

"It's an automated process," he said, "which explains how this vile copy got past us."

He said the company has pulled the shirts from websites where it sold the product including Amazon's Canadian site, and is committed to vetting all future product descriptions before posting them.

"I'm sorry if anyone was offended by this," said Shapransky. "It's just an unfortunate oversight that we'll be rectifying immediately."

More apologies

The


current owners of Sauce Hockey also expressed surprise and dismay over the descriptions.

"It's offensive and sexist. There's no question," said Daryl Jones, one of the company's investors.

He said he and a group of fellow investors took over the company three years ago, and they had no knowledge of the product descriptions.

"I would never have approved this," said Jones.

He said the company will ensure the descriptions disappear from all websites, and Sauce Hockey will offer to buy back and destroy any associated apparel from retailers.

The company says it has reached out to Amazon, which still has some of the T-shirts, along with the product descriptions on its U.S. site via a different third-party dealer. Amazon told CBC News it was investigating the matter.

Twelve-year-old Connecticut Malpractice Case Finally Settled

A Bridgeport, Connecticut Superior Court jury has awarded over $16 million to the family of a 49-year-old man who died of a heart attack over 12 years ago. The jury made the award to the estate and widow of Gary Carlson, a truck driver who died in 1995. The case was against Stamford Medical Group and Dr. Robert Goldsmith. The widow and estate accused the Stamford Medical Group of failing to diagnose and treat his cardiac disease.

This award was one of the largest wrongful death verdicts in Connecticut history. Carlson had been working three jobs to support his family at the time of this failed diagnosis.

prompted by accusations that he had manipulated the constitution to cling to power.

Wednesday was a test of whether the protest movement could maintain its momentum beyond Sargsyan’s resignation. Pashinyan has demanded the government initiate a transfer of power, first by electing a “people’s prime minister” and then by holding snap elections.

The resumption of protests, which have crippled downtown Yerevan and have brought the government to the brink of collapse, could transform this Caucasus nation of about three million people. The opposition claims the ruling party has led the country into stagnation.

The protests could also send shockwaves through the region, where strongmen and winner-takes-all politics dominate many countries. But protest leaders have also been careful not to paint the demonstrations as pro-western or anti-Russian, focusing on an internal agendaclose ally of Vladimir Putin and Russia is closely watching events in the former Soviet republic, where it has two military bases. On Tuesday, the Kremlin said it was pleased the situation appeared stable for now.

The Armenian president, Armen Sarkissian, another ally of the former prime minister, was sworn in as president earlier this month after being elected by parliament.

Under a revised constitution approved in a 2015 referendum, most state powers shifted to the prime minister, while the presidency became a largely ceremonial post.

In another move likely to prolong the political crisis that has rocked one of Russia’s closest allies from the former Soviet Union, Pashinyan said he was ready to be the country’s next prime minister “if people put this responsibility on me”, and would keep up

With a network of some 8,000 channel partners, Speakeasy already has built a substantial roster of small business customers. Best Buy bought the company in 2007 and will continue to be a minority investor, Young said.

As a second non-limiting example of a pipe bending procedure, a pipe may be supported by a cantilever support located at a first end of the pipe, a pipe bending shoe may be located between the cantilever support and a second end of the pipe, and a force may be applied to the second end of the pipe in order to cause the pipe to bend around the pipe bending shoe.
As a third non-limiting example of a pipe bending procedure, a first end of a pipe may besupported by a ground surface, a pipe bending shoe may be located between the first end and a second end of the pipe, and an upward force may be applied to the second end of the pipe in order to cause the pipe to bend around the pipe bending shoe. This third exemplary pipe bending procedure is often performed in the field using a tractor having a pipe bending shoe mounted thereon, wherein the upward force is provided by a winch on the tractor.
A challenge in bending pipe is to avoid collapse of the pipe wall as a portion of the circumference of the pipe is placed in compression and a portion of the circumference of the pipe is placed in tension during the pipe bending procedure. The


tendency of a pipe wall to flatten during bending increases as the diameter of the pipe increases. In addition, pipe which is coated with a layer of a protective or insulating material is particularly susceptible to damage to the coating during a pipe bending procedure, either due to the force which is applied directly to the coating by the pipe bending shoe or due to the deformation of the underlying pipe during the pipe bending procedure.
A number of different styles of pipe bending shoe are known.
A first exemplary style of pipe bending shoe includes a rigid die which defines a pipe channel having a convex longitudinal profile. At the initiation of a pipe bending procedure, a relatively small area of the pipe channel is in contact with thethe force which is applied to the pipe by the pipe bending shoe during the pipe bending procedure may not be evenly distributed along the entire length of the flexible web.

This pipe bending shoe includes a pin up plate, a first framework pivotally attached to the pin up plate, a second framework pivotally attached to the pin up plate, and a plurality of discrete belts having a first end attached to the first framework and having a second end attached to the second framework, wherein the belts are disposed to an outer surface of a pipe wall in a region which becomes a minor radius of a bend in the pipe.

That's because Sunnyside High School has been labeled as one of the many schools in the state that isn't reaching or exceeding standards deemed as acceptable. As such, Sunnyside was mandated to choose one of four improvement plans. The only viable option, considering the worst case scenario was to turn over the entire high school operations to the government, was to seek out federal grant money that can be used to increase the success of local students.

The plan comes with several conditions. One of them being longer school days and, more of them. Another condition is that Sunnyside must replace the high school principal withOcean County’s opioid epidemic literally has landed on the desk of an Eagleswood elementary school teacher who faces charges that he snorted morphine in class in front of students and another faculty member, prosecutors say.

Tim padded down the hallway to the showers where he found Nathan
already rinsing soap out of his hair. Through the window, Tim could see the
counselors showering in the large center area, doing some fooling around
together but no serious sex. The same could be said for the boys in the
showers on the other side of the room.
"Looks like we're all too pooped to pop this morning," joshed Nathan as
Tim stepped in and started washing himself.
"Well, it has been three fuckin', exhausting days, hasn't it?" asked
Tim, tongue firmly planted in his cheek.
Nathan began to wash Tim's back as the two carried on some small
talk. Nathan was telling Tim that he had been told the shoot would probably
be Sunday afternoon


and that they would be needed for rehearsals Saturday
afternoon. The rest of the camp would be at the lake that afternoon.
Tim suddenly regretted that he had not had time to do any swimming
practice since he arrived, and mentioned it to Nathan.
"We'll be spending afternoons at the lake every day until the end of
camp," said Nathan. "Mom says they're hoping to get the routine going this
afternoon."
"When did you see your Mom?" Tim asked.
"Last night, just before she went looking for you and Amy. She took
Jake and Roger and Kim and Cassie along to help track down some of the kids
who were still out in the meadow after most of us got back. I'll swear, I
think everyone out there heard you two," said Nathan.
"We were that loud?" Tim asked asit was dark the previous night, Tim couldn't
remember much about his build, even though the boy had been naked when he
and the girl had barged in on Amy and him in their clearing.
"He's gay, you know," said Tom into Tim's ear, "and he's made it no
secret that he wants to get you into bed with him. Told a bunch of us last
night that he could make you 'scream with passion' even louder than you did
with Amy last night."
"Game a break, will ya?" asked Tim. "He had that girl with him last
night, what was her name?"
"You mean Crystal? The only reason they're together is because they
drew each other's numbers. The girls think she may be a lesbian, 'cause
she's been hitting on them since the first day. Not that it

he's wanting volunteers to help with the testing."
The tables weren't cleared from the room the way they had been for the
previous lessons. Dr. Burmeister came into the room and chatted with Terry
and Susan, then he and an assistant began to set up some equipment in one
of the smaller rooms off to the side.
"Guys, this morning Dr. Burmeister wants to check you over, then he
wants to talk with you about the girls, sorta the birds and the bees
speech," said Terry as he introduced Burmeister, "Doctor."
The doctor looked over the crowd and recognized most of the
faces. While some of the boys had been seen by other physicians who were
part of the Shamrock Club's medical program, he had tried to schedule as
many of them as hecould so he would get to know them better. In the back
of his mind, he had hopes that this would be a group he could do some
recruiting in for the Club's scholarship program on down the line. From the
counselors at this year's camp, he already had a good, solid candidate who
wanted to go pre-med in the fall.
"Good to see you again," said the doctor. "It looks like you're all
being well fed, although some of you could use a little more rest." The
comment brought some laughter.
"This morning, we're going to be doing some quick physicals. Nothing as
elaborate as the ones you went through to get into camp, but pretty
thorough ones. We'll be checking your heart rate, reflexes and
coordination, and doing a quick examination of your sex organs and
rectum. It


shouldn't take too long. We'll start with bunk room number 1, so
you guys pair off with your bedmates and come into the room over there when
you're called. The rest of you can stay in here and play cards or read, or
go to the canteen as long as you stay close."
With that announcement out of the way, Dr. Burmeister went to the
makeshift examination room and called the first pair in. Nathan and Tim
together would be third in line, so they just sat down with the other four
boys from their room.
"Hey, Manuel," said Aaron. "How's your problem?"
Rather than acting embarrassed, Manuel readily admitted that he was
working on controlling himself. "Last night I went almost half an hour
before I couldn't hold back anymore."
"That's great," said Darren. "How'd you do it?"
"Well, Iis nothing short of remarkable. I wouldn't have guessed you took
all 11 inches that recently," said the doctor.
"And Rodney, too," Tim added. "He's plenty big."
The doctor just chuckled and told Tim to pull his shorts
up. Dr. Burmeister went to Nathan while the assistant put a blood pressure
cuff on Tim's left arm.
After the exam was finished, the two boys went into the canteen and Tim
bought a bottle of strawberry flavored lubricant as well as several candy
bars and sodas to take back to the bunkhouse. Nathan looked over a display
of leatherwear that had not been out on display before.
"Hey Tim, look at this thing," said Nathan as he picked up a leather
harness.
From behind them, Jase said, "That's neat. I want one of those. My

Along with volunteering at special needs schools and working one-on-one with mentally challenged students, Goodwin commits personal time during summers to travelto less fortunate countries to work in local communities. He has helped teach at elementary schools, built retaining walls in El Salvador and Nicaragua, and he spent time in Mexico volunteering while getting closer to fluency. Most recently, Goodwin taught an English course at a university in Cuba. These impressive efforts have led to Goodwin’s candidacy for the Senior CLASS Award.

This was a cross-sectional study.

Location and date of the study
------------------------------

This study was conducted in the in- and outpatient psychiatric departments, and the outpatient clinic of the obstetric and gynecological departments at Mansoura University Hospital, Mansoura city, Dakahlia Governorate, Egypt from July 2006 until January 2007.

Subjects
--------

During a 6-month period from July 2006 until January 2007, all females delivering in the obstetric department of Mansoura University Hospital were examined by a psychiatrist and obstetrician at least four times: first at 1 week after delivery, then 1, 3, and 12 months after delivery. Patients with PPD were followed more than six times per year. After a senior gynecologist (experience \> 12


puerperium is a period of "uncleanliness," which imposes taboos on women such as cooking, washing, and cohabiting with her husband. Rest and relative seclusion are also imposed.[@b24-ndt-9-015] Even in Egyptian urban areas, rituals allow for 40-day rest periods for the mother after the birth of a baby. During that period, the focus is on allowing the mother time to rest, eat, and sleep. Female relatives come to help with housekeeping and care for the new baby. Thus, social support, education, childcare services, and social recognition of the new motherhood status are ensured. This social fabric may delay the onset of major depression and ameliorate mood disturbances to a subthreshold level. After the first postnatal month, as families and relatives gradually decrease their intense emotional and practical support, depressionmay ultimately set in. As in Egypt, Chinese women have a relatively lower rate of depression in early puerperium. The first month of puerperium in Chinese society is demarcated by rituals. According to traditional beliefs, a recently delivered woman is in a Yin state (with depletion of vitality) and she is encouraged to recover her health by resting in bed and taking tonics. In the first postnatal month, she is spared from all household chores and is attended by a female relative, usually the mother or mother-in-law.[@b25-ndt-9-015] In contrast, Western women usually go home a day after delivery and often without an extended family or neighbors to help with infant care. In that isolated environment, the woman does not receive the supportive therapeutic factors that would help mitigate

Similar measurements were made for the medial mitral corner, at the junction with the interventricular septum (Ea~s~, Aa~s~, Sa~s,~ respectively).

Boris Johnson has said a settlement is “in reach” to end the partition of Cyprus as he prepared to join international talks aimed at reunifying the island after more than four decades of division.

The Foreign Secretary is due to join the United Nations-led conference in Geneva along with representatives of Greece and Turkey – the island’s other two “guarantor” powers.

Greek Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades and Turkish Cypriot leader Mustafa Akinci have been in discussions in Switzerland since Monday in an attempt to clear the ground for an agreement.

Speaking ahead of the meeting, Mr Johnson praised their efforts and said there was now an opportunity to achieve a “lasting peace” for both communities.

“I welcome the continued courage and commitment


he told reporters.

“We have dealt with some of the most difficult issues. We have touched upon almost all of them, we have solved many of them, and we are close to solving some other issues.”

The Mediterranean island has been divided since 1974 when Turkish troops staged an invasion in response to a coup by Greek Cypriots aimed at uniting with Greece.

UN peacekeepers continue to patrol the buffer zone between the breakaway Turkish Cypriot north – recognised only by Turkey – and the internationally recognised Greek Cypriot south.

One of the key issues to be resolved in the talks is security, with more than 30,000 Turkish troops still in the north.

Any settlement is likely to involve a federal arrangement with the two communities sharing power in a united Cyprus.

If Elsa has a trying day or they’re apart for whatever reason, she takes the book from its place by her side of the bed and goes through it for the reminder of just how much Anna loves her, and how often she is on her mind.

Who was the 15-year old rider from Midheim?

A fine example of me over-introducing OCs. She has no bearing on anything in or after the story apart from bringing information to the capital.

What was Anna doing in the barracks that got her injured?

enough force that the eventual release had her beaning herself in the head.

Is Elsa ticklish?

Extremely so, but only in one particular area: the soles of her feet. When Anna found that out, she wound up getting kicked because Elsa wasn’t expecting it and didn’t have time to check her reactions. Elsa was mortified, and Anna was laughing so hard that she could barely breathe.

Why did Elsa teach herself to purr?

Christian Romans believed they dwelt in an Empire which should encompass the whole world because that Empire was founded on a religion intended for all men.

As a matter of historical fact, the claims of the Empire depended upon the truth of the Christian Faith. The loss of that Faith meant the loss of any claim to the Empire...

The Christian Emperor was not an ordinary ruler. He was vicarius Christi. His coronation was a Sacrament, for he was anointed, as was Saul, David and Solomon, to protect and guide God's People. He was a "messiah," the Saviour, the Spouse of the Bride, the Empire, His Body or, as Professor Kantorwicz puts


it, the Empire was his "mystical body," his "second body."...

Also, the coronation of the Basileus or Tzar and the pageantry surrounding it compared to a liturgy. The Patriarch poured oil on his head, a sacramental oil, which signified the king's or emperor's sacred and messianic character, his leadership of God's People. He was the very personification of the "lay priesthood" about which the Apostles spoke.

His position as God's "servant" involved the privilege of entering the sanctuary during the Divine Liturgy to receive the Holy Communion in his hand as was the privilege of the bishop and presbyter. Clearly, then, his authority was not simply political or administrative but spiritual. He was expected to be holy that he might lead his nation into holiness.

*

He was "the father of hispeople" whose duties were more than the execution of justice, the prosecution of war and resistance to evil. He was obliged to help the widow and the orphan, to clothe and feed the poor and to defend the Faith. In other words, when he took his coronation oath, he also obliged himself to philanthropia, an imitation of Divine Providence.

On the other hand, the people were expected to obey him as a child obeys his father. No Orthodox spoke of his "rights" - he humbly performed his duties: to God, to the Emperor, to the nation...

...The Orthodox Church has lived with monarchy from the day the Lord established her nearly two thousand years ago. The first monarchy was Roman, sacred and pagan. Of course, some have argued that the


Church is "in the world and not of it" and, therefore, it makes little difference what the political structure under which the Church lives; in fact, she ought to have no association with the world whatsoever.

God wished to refuse the Hebrew nation a king and the Orthodox Church is the New Israel. Finally, it would seem that "democracy" would suit Orthodoxy far better than any other form of government, because it is secular. The Church is free to act without the encumbrances of an imperial hierarchy.

First of all, it is important for Orthodoxy to live under a form of government, which is not hostile to Her, even more one, which would encourage Her spiritual and physical growth. The world belongs to Her, as it belongs to Her God.seem stacked against him, Jones is trying to escape the fate that has deprived him of many of the people he loves most. His life parallels a theme that tragically plays out in Oakland year after year; 2012 was no different, as this community suffered the loss of 131 people to homicide.

It is a storyline Jones is trying hard to rewrite.

"Marquis is very eager to turn himself away from all the negativity that surrounds him," said Rodney Dunn, an administrator and teacher at Civicorps, a West Oakland work-study charter school for high school dropouts where Jones has excelled as a student since he enrolled last October. He is in the second half of Civicorps curriculum, which includes regular work during the week with the Civicorps Job Training Program.

Jones


was born into a world where drug-dealing, gang-related violence and family dysfunction were commonplace. Many of his early life choices reflected the poverty and chaos of his surroundings. Weaning himself from that toxic environment is one of the toughest challenges he's facing.

On days when Jones feels good, he allows himself to dream. He thinks about becoming a lawyer, perhaps, or a sports agent. He has enrolled in a Shakespeare class and made many friends. He wants to be the first person from his family to obtain a college degree.

Some days he settles for just surviving. And then there are the days when he feels nothing at all.

"I can't keep track of everybody who died," he said. "That's how you know I don't care about none of this."

Jones andthe teachers and administrators who coach him at Civicorps seem to agree that his best chance at survival lies in graduating. Failure, they agree, is no longer an option. In the six months since he has been enrolled at Civicorps, Jones has attended four funerals and missed others, including one for Eddie Bo Rodriguez, a cousin who was one of four people to die by a gun in one bloody six-hour period in January.

The flurry of funerals was enough to worry Dunn, who barred Jones from attending any more, saying they were interrupting his studies.

Harry Williams, an Oakland pastor and youth advocate, said the high number of deaths Jones has experienced is sadly within the norm for a certain subsection of people for whom violence is an everyday


occurrence. "Premature deaths in the inner cities have given funerals their own culture," he said. "Forty people over a 10-year period, I hate to say this, is not completely unreasonable if you've lived here all of your life. The toll that Oakland's murder rate has taken on their young psyches is incalculable."

Family loss

From an early age, Jones -- who stands 4 feet, 7 inches tall -- has struggled to survive. He was born small -- so small he could fit into the palm of a grown man's hand, he said, holding out his own. His mother had a hard time accepting her son's diminutive stature and shuffled him off to a succession of relatives and friends.

"His mom sort of abandoned him," said Myelle-Amzi LeChaux, a relative who tookJones in when he was 7.

"It was very difficult, and he didn't understand what was going on, and I tried to comfort him as much as I could."

He saw his father only sporadically, and does not know his whereabouts these days.

Jones moved on to other homes across West and East Oakland over the next few years, living a dangerous and precarious existence. Kids at school teased him relentlessly, calling him "midget" and beating him up. His close friends taught him how to defend himself by forcing him to fight.

When he was 15, Jones was shot in the arm and wounded during a drive-by. In 2008, one of his sisters, Rachel Green, 19, was shot and killed at a funeral. Amid the constant din of violence around him, his


sister's death stood out as particularly bad. In the months before her shooting, the two had been getting closer again, after a period of distance. They were together constantly, going to movies, eating out, talking late into the night.

After she died, Jones dreamed of Rachel constantly and saw visions of her head, covered in blood. He couldn't stop thinking about her murder. Over and over again, he pictured the events as he imagined they happened.

"I imagine her freezing up and someone taking them shots, and as much as it all hurts me to this day, that one hurts me the most," he said.

Eventually, the pain got so bad that Jones dropped out of school. He sunk into depression and anxiety. "I was like, (expletive) it," he said, "Ididn't want to show up."

As Jones has grown older, the murder rate in his own life has accelerated dramatically. In 2010, the year he turned 18, Jones lost seven people to gun violence. With barely three months elapsed in 2013, Jones already has lost a cousin and another friend to murder.

"I can't do this no more," he said recently, wiping away tears and looking out the window of a Jack in the Box on Telegraph Avenue, where he was eating a cheeseburger and fries for dinner. "This just ain't right; no one's supposed to live like this."

A new path

In October, Jones decided he was going to try to graduate from high school, no matter what. He is driven by a relentless desire to protect what remains of his


family. The best way to do that, he believes, is to find a path out of the violence through education and some measure of stability.

"I still walk around with a smile on my face," he said. "I still go to school, I still take care of business."

But the cycle of violence never seems very far away.

During orientation week last fall, another friend was shot and killed. The killing nearly broke him all over again. The victim, Demariae Coleman, whom Jones knew affectionately as Pooka, was one of the best friends Jones has had. Coleman had insisted that Jones enroll at Civicorps, telling him he needed to dress well, show up on time and be a good student. Coleman told his friend he wanted him to find a wayout of the hard life they had shared for so long. On the second day of orientation, Coleman, 24, was shot dead by assailants as he sat in a car -- the city's 99th homicide of 2012. Jones was inconsolable.

Dunn and the other administrators at Civicorps told Jones to take time to grieve and try again in a couple of months. But Jones was adamant about starting school again. Friends and teachers said he was an emotional wreck.

"He made it through but barely," said Natasha Vinakor, a Civicorps case counselor and resident therapist. "It's really hard to change your life, and Marquis couldn't decide if he was mad or sad, and it's totally understandable."

Focused on the future

Every day Jones struggles with the push and pull of the mighty


forces at work in his life. He longs to maintain connections to the people around him who are still alive, so much so that he forms close attachments quickly and without hesitation. He has a few "best friends" -- boys and girls. He has told Dunn he sees him as a mentor and inspiration. When he met Vinakor, he told her she was going to be his best friend as well.

Jones believes obtaining his high school diploma will start to change that dynamic in his life.

"I think that if all of my family was still here, I would have had my high school diploma already," he said. "This is what I have to get done, not just for me but for the rest of my family."

There was aoverheard through the "grapevine" the meeting with the Israelis, spoken in Hebrew, on readying the execution of 9-11 attacks at the Jewish cemetery in New Jersey, in 2000.)

* * *

Asked tonight what the attack meant for relations between the United States and Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, the former prime minister, replied, ''It's very good.'' Then he edited himself: ''Well, not very good, but it will generate immediate sympathy.'' He predicted that the attack would ''strengthen the bond between our two peoples, because we've experienced terror over so many decades, but the United States has now experienced a massive hemorrhaging of terror.''

been confined to winning states where the Democratic electorate is more than 80% (and in many cases more than 90%) white and caucus states where the process is far less democratic and the turnout is abysmal compared to primary balloting. The charge that Bernie Sanders is not qualified to be the Democratic standardbearer because he keeps winning the Republican demographic within the Democratic primary is something he has not been able to shake because it is broadly true.

His campaign also shortsightedly set up a "calendar" argument after Hillary Clinton's punishing victories in states with a high proportion of black voters as well as in pivotal large, important states like Florida, Ohio, and Illinois. He and the top brass of his campaign consciously and repeatedly made the case thatnow that the primaries were moving out of "the deep south", Sanders would be in a better position to win, win big, and overwhelm Clinton. By setting up that argument, the Sanders campaign shot itself in the foot as his victories in a series of caucus states in late March and early April were seen as simply the "calendar" being friendly to the Vermonter rather than any particular success for his campaign.

And so, Sanders needed - needs - to prove badly that he could win in a diverse primary in a big state. That's why Bernie Sanders started making the argument in early April that he believed Hillary Clinton was "getting nervous" that he would beat her in New York. The media latched onto that narrative, since this


believe it has to.

Has to. This is important. Bernie Sanders and his campaign did not just believe they would win New York, but that he had to win New York. Because Bernie is deliverance. Because a Sanders victory in New York would shake the Clinton campaign to its core and prove that the great Bernie aura has finally come into the view of non-whites as well.

That did not happen. Not only did Bernie Sanders lose African Americans in New York 3:1 and Hispanics 2:1, Hillary Clinton fought him to a draw among white voters. Bernie Sanders even lost ground in his key demographic: young voters. While Bernie held a commanding lead among voters under 30, Clinton won every age group above 30, including the 30-39 group. Clinton routedSanders 2:1 among women, while men were evenly split.

What all of this goes into say is that Bernie Sanders set himself up to fail in New York by ignoring reality. The reality of his embarrassing disconnect with voters of color. The disconnect of the rockstar reception and the reality of the voting booth. The reality that Democratic voters are not piping for a candidate who wants to tear down the Democratic party and the revolutionary accomplishments of the sitting Democratic president. The reality that his path to the Democratic nomination is increasingly limited and near non-existent.

The blissful ignorance of reality is not merely what Bernie Sanders' New York optimism was based on, however. His policy proposals are based on the same ignorance. He does not believe that he

The first folding arm can be pivotally connected to the first pivot arm at a first pivot joint, and the second folding arm can be pivotally connected to the second pivot arm atplayard when the changing table is in the closed position.
The length of each of the first and second folding arms can be substantially equal to or slightly greater than the length of the respective first and second pivot arms. In this respect, the second rail can extend beyond an end frame support of the playard when the folding table is in the closed position.
The first and second pivot arms can be attached to the side rail members of the playard. Moreover, changing table can include a bracket for attaching the first rail to the end rail member. The first and second folding arms also can lie substantially over the upper side rail members when the folding table is in the open position. Moreover, the first and second pivot


Lewis Hamilton says the day he quits Formula 1, he won't be sticking around the sport like most other drivers have done in the past.

In a interview streamed by UBS Formula 1, the three-time world champion, who was runner-up to Nico Rosberg last year, offered some insight into his future after Grand Prix racing.

While he remains as passionate as ever about the sport, and fiercely determined to take back the world crown, Hamilton insisted there will be a full life to live the day after he hangs up his helmet.

"I don't have any plans of staying around after my time," Hamilton said.

"There are a lot of drivers who seem to just hold on and stick around. I guess it's easier to do so because it is what they've

Irvine, CA – The University of California is home to many of the country’s leading scholars in dozens of fields, and for decades it has been an important laboratory for social change in the United States. It has also been at the forefront of many struggles for political, social, civil and labour rights struggles, as both an incubator of new ideas and practices and as a laboratory in which various attempts to change the balance of power and responsibility between social groups, and between society and government, have played out.

So you might not be surprised to learn that as one of the most important May Days in several generations approached last week, the office of the president of the University of California, Mark Yudof, released a statement calling


competent to serve in the position he occupies. He should resign as president, and if he will not leave of his own volition, it is well past time for the regents to hand him a pink slip and replace him and the senior university administration with leaders who will protect fundamental freedoms and forcefully advocate for the measures necessary to restore it to its once vaunted position.

A record of fighting against free speech

Yudof’s position on May Day isn’t surprising if one views this in the context of his larger record. It merely freshly reflects his unwillingness to support free speech and other basic rights the other 364 days of the year. Under his administration, the situation for these rights has become abysmal at UC, in no small partbecause of his office’s endorsement or encouragement of violations.

Everyone has seen the infamous pepper spray video at UC Davis, in response to which he appointed a supposedly independent commission headed by a celebrity former police chief, Bill Bratton, whose company was already under contract with UC to provide security issues, while protecting Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi from the consequences of her policies.

In fact, it now seems clear why her position was protected; her attacks on students are precisely what the senior UC administration wants to see. And so, with the smell of pepper spray still in the air, UC students were arrested and are now facing up to 11 years in jail at the urging of the same UC Davis administration that had them pepper-sprayed for – run


“harassment and intimidation” of Jewish students, and for their constant comparisons of criticism of Israel with existential threats against Jews and even impending holocausts. It is impossible to imagine President Yudof emulating such principled behaviour or ever standing up to these groups, or even owning up to his personal participation in their constant dissemination of lies against members of the professoriate who are their perceived enemies.

“Why should the internal problems of the University of California matter to anyone outside the system, or the United States? Because universities… are the canary in the coal mine for determining the health of society at large.“

Hellenbrand’s conclusion is a powerful restatement of the fundamental importance of free political speech in the university, and, by extension, in the United States, at this pivotalof of society at large. If the foundations of free and open exchange of knowledge and debate over ideas, and tolerance for dissent are repressed inside the so-called ivory towers of academia, the situation in society at large will most assuredly be worse. This is a situation academics in Egypt, Bahrain, China or so many other developing countries know all too well.

In this regard, Yudof and other senior administrators of the University of California, the regents who govern the system, and the larger political class in California and across the United States have forgotten that universities were among the first and remain among the last bastions of truly liberal thought – that is, one that encourages critical thinking, free debate and openness and tolerance towards divergent points of


if the great public universities such as UC and its counterparts across the United States and globally continue along their present course. Sadly, the current leadership of the UC is contributing to the rapid deterioration of public discourse and to the stifling of knowledge production, which will be crucial to any possible economic and political renewal in the United States.

It might well be too late to stop this process here, but those observing this debacle from the outside would do well to learn from our mistakes before they suffer a similar fate.

It was a short introductory meeting. I asked Jared and Paul to stop by. We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago and was since ended by the Russian government, but it was not a campaign issue at that time and there was no follow up. I was asked to attend the meeting by an acquaintance, but was not told the name of the person I would be meeting with beforehand.

The answer Trump’s lawyers


gave in January seems to admit Trump dictated the statement.

You have received all of the notes, communications and testimony indicating that the President dictated a short but accurate response to the New York Times article on behalf of his son, Donald Trump, Jr. His son then followed up by making a full public disclosure regarding the meeting, including his public testimony that there was nothing to the meeting and certainly no evidence of collusion.56 This subject is a private matter with the New York Times. The President is not required to answer to the Office of the Special Counsel, or anyone else, for his private affairs with his children. In any event, the President’s son, son-in-law, and White House advisors and staff have made a full disclosure oncan go tell Mueller what she overheard of this conversation.) July 8, morning: Conference call doesn’t happen. NYT submits 14 questions about the meeting to the WH and lawyers of Trump campaign aides who attended the meeting (do these aides include all of Don Jr, Kushner, and Manafort?); Trump and his aides develop a response on Air Force One, with Hicks coordinating with Don Jr and his lawyer Alan Garten, who were both in NY, via text message. July 8, afternoon: Jamie Gorelick provides a statement describing his revisions to his security clearance forms. He has since submitted this information, including that during the campaign and transition, he had over 100 calls or meetings with representatives of more than 20 countries, most of which were during transition. Mr.


Kushner has submitted additional updates and included, out of an abundance of caution, this meeting with a Russian person, which he briefly attended at the request of his brother-in-law Donald Trump Jr. As Mr. Kushner has consistently stated, he is eager to cooperate and share what he knows. July 8, evening: Garten issues a statement in Don Jr’s name stating, It was a short introductory meeting. I asked Jared and Paul to stop by. We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago and was since ended by the Russian government, but it was not a campaign issue at that time and there was no follow up.

But what the college argued in its defense was rather interesting.

Middlebury College used a "preponderance of evidence" standard (meaning campus administrators have to be just 50.01 percent sure an assault was committed) even before the Department of Education mandated colleges to lower the bar on proof of charges against students. But when it came to defending itself from this student's lawsuit, the college demanded the higher standard of "clear and convincing" evidence that it had wronged him.

In a footnote of the judge's decision to halt the expulsion, noticed by Samantha Harris of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, the college argued for the higher


Century after WWI, Europe divided

With memories varying sharply, no event will unite all ex-foes

PARIS – Europe, badly shaken by a faltering economy and rising populism, is preparing to commemorate the centenary of World War I, the conflict still known as the Great War, which scarred the continent and shaped the 20th century.

Commemorations for the 1914-18 war are planned through the summer on either side of the Western Front, but with no single event bringing all of the former foes together.

Plans for a major gathering in Sarajevo — where the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand by a Serbian nationalist is seen as sparking the conflict on June 28, 1914 — had to be dropped due to a lack of international consensus.

Europe was left ruinedby four years of all-consuming warfare, but while European nations shared in the trauma of what some historians called a collective “suicide,” how they remember the event varies greatly.

Europeans “continue to approach this transnational event through the narrow framework of national memory,” explained Australian historian John Horne, of Dublin University.

For the British and French, World War I is vividly etched in the collective imagination as a just and necessary victory, secured at a terrible human cost.

Remembering the war is a big deal in France and Britain, as well as in Australia and New Zealand, whose very sense of identity is tied to the conflict, with hundreds of official projects and wall-to-wall media coverage.

In Germany and Russia, by contrast, the Great War’s memory was all but supplanted by the


cataclysm of World War II.

The centenary also comes as the very idea of a shared European future is under attack, with Euroskeptics, nationalists and the far-right gaining ground across the continent.

Delegations from the warring parties in World War I have been invited to France for a “peace demonstration” on Bastille Day, July 14. The presidents of Germany and France, Joachim Gauck and Francois Hollande, will also stand side by side in France on Aug. 3 to mark the start of the war “with gravity and reverence.”

And a German-British ceremony is planned the following day in Belgium, invaded by German troops on the first day of the war, Aug. 3, 1914.

But in Germany itself, as in Italy and Central Europe, the centenary has so far gone largely unnoticed.

The diversitythe memory of a war that it says was unjustly forgotten under the Soviet regime, which today’s Russian rulers accuse of bowing shamefully to Germany in 1917.

The Great War dragged almost half the world’s population into a cycle of violence of unprecedented scale and intensity. Over the course of 52 months, it left 10 million dead and 20 million injured and maimed on battlefields that sprawled from the howling North Sea coast to the Russian steppes and the deserts of the Middle East.

Millions of civilians perished under occupation, through disease, hunger or deportation, including some 1 million Armenians systematically massacred by Turkish forces.

Four of the world’s most powerful empires — Russian, German, Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman — collapsed as the world map was redrawn, giving rise to dozens of


new nation-states.

World War I fanned the emergence of many of the ideologies — communism, fascism, Nazism, anti-colonialism, pacifism — that went on to fashion the 20th century and its looming conflicts.

And Europe’s economic and political ruin cleared the way for the rise of a new economic and military superpower, the United States, which was to dominate the second half of the century.Phoenix goalkeeper Glen Moss admits he was ''surprised'' Carlos Hernandez chose to sign for Wellington for the next two A-League seasons.

Moss was a Melbourne Victory team-mate of the former league MVP in Hernandez's outstanding 2009-10 campaign.

He said the Phoenix were not only getting a ''fantastic player'' but also a ''great guy.''

''He's an amazing signing really, one I didn't think we'd get, so more than happy to have Carlos on our team,'' said Moss after Phoenix training today.

''I'm surprised that we got him. A player like that has a lot of options so for him to choose Wellington is hopefully saying [something] about where the club's going in the future.''

Hernandez, a 30-year-old Costa Rica international, will join the Phoenix for pre-season training in June.

He is contracted to Indian club


Prayag United but is currently in Costa Rica mourning the death of his father.

Hernandez won the Johnny Warren Medal as the league's best player in 2009-10 and scored 40 goals in 138 games for the Victory.

''Carlos is a great guy and everyone knows he's a fantastic player,'' Moss said.

''Just a really bubbly, confident character. I guess like a lot of foreigners he's really passionate about the game and that's contagious. So you'd rather guys like that around the game than the negative ones.''

Phoenix coach Ricki Herbert said Hernandez had not been signed as a marquee player and his contract would fit under the salary cap.

It is arguably Herbert's biggest signing in his six years with the club.

"Getting Carlos to Wellington is a massive signing for the Phoenix becauseeveryone has seen the impact he made in the A-League," Herbert said.

"He is an exciting player who can make things very difficult for the opposition and is a dead ball specialist. It was important that when a player of Carlos' ability became available that the club should try and get him here. It signals the direction the club is taking and Carlos fits perfect with our strategy.

"I've always had a good relationship with Carlos and from the first call I made to him our talks were positive. The fact that he has been A-League player of the year says it all as that is voted on by his peers."

His signing probably signals the end of Dani Sanchez's career with the Phoenix with the Spaniard coming off contract at


the end of the season.

Herbert also revealed Moss would replace Mark Paston and make his first start of the season against the Brisbane Roar at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday.

Herbert said Ben Sigmund, Leo Bertos and Tony Lochhead would also return to the starting XI after missing the embarrassing 5-0 loss against Central Coast.

And young Australian striker Corey Gameiro - on loan from English Premier League club Fulham - would start in place of the suspended Jeremy Brockie.[Georg Kelling (1866-1945): the man who introduced modern laparoscopy into medicine].
On 23 September 1901, Georg Kelling (1866-1945) from Dresden performed a celioscopy with a Nitze cystoscope on a dog in Hamburg. This was the beginning of the era of laparoscopy.His doctoral thesis already reflected his early interest in the anatomy and physiology of the gastrointestinal tract. This experience, together with his knowledge on air insufflation of the abdomen, enabled him to be the first to develop the procedure he named "celioscopy." During this pioneer time of laparoscopy, he developed various basic principles that are still valid today and demonstrated astonishingly visionary skills. Although his pioneering achievements have hardly been acknowledged to this day, modern laparoscopy has confirmed Kelling's visions and scientific work in almost all aspects. His name


WASHINGTON -- The Senate, voting largely along party lines, approved a bill that would tear down Depression-era regulatory walls separating banks, brokerage firms and insurers.

The 54-44 vote is a significant step toward financial-services reform, but the bill still has several hurdles to overcome. The House is still wrangling over its own version of the bill, which is at odds with the Senate version on several key issues. And although President Clinton says he supports an overhaul in principle, he has already threatened...a “frickin’ million-dollar shot,” the jury decided to award Thomas’ family $15 million.

The seven-member panel awarded the amount to the family in a civil rights lawsuit as a way of saying local police had overreacted to a minor domestic dispute. At least 27 officers from the Pierce County Metro SWAT team and two armored vehicles were sent to the scene after Thomas — who was bipolar, had been drinking and was despondent over a friend’s death — refused to leave his house.

Witnesses during the trial described a battleground setting: One armored transport was driven across a neighbor’s yard, through a fence, and parked off the back patio of the Thomas home in the town of Fife. The other vehicle, a BearCat personnel carrier, took position at the front

The TOWNSHIP OF CHESTER, Raymond T. Spykerman and William Pisarek, Individually and inCounty in order to prevent that court from appointing someone to fill the vacancy on the Board of Supervisors of Chester Township.[1] In Hales and Palazzo v. Township of Chester, Spykerman, Pisarek, Walton, Stapleton and Phillips, the appellants appeal to this Court from a temporary restraining order of the Common Pleas Court of Delaware County enjoining them from acting in their capacity as public officials.[2]
In January 1979, Connie Hales, Joseph Palazzo, Raymond T. Spykerman, Stephen Heller, and Lawrence Healy were duly elected supervisors of Chester Township. Chester Township is a Second Class Township in Delaware County with a total population of 7,000. The township is comprised of three communities, Toby Farms, Lower Feltonville, and Upper Feltonville.
On January 4, 1979, the Chester Township Board of Supervisors held a reorganizational


and Healy elected John Matthews as the Chairman of the Vacancy Board. Palazzo objected that the election was illegal since it took place during an annex *476 homes meeting[5] and that there was no notice of the election to himself or Hales.
On October 23, 1979 Hales and Palazzo filed a quo warranto in the Common Pleas Court of Delaware County against Spykerman, Healy and Matthews challenging the legality of Matthews' election as Vacancy Board Chairman. Hales and Palazzo also filed a motion for a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order. Judge Joseph T. Labrum issued a Temporary Restraining Order restraining the Vacancy Board from acting to fill the existing vacancies until a hearing could be held on October 26, 1979.
On October 26, 1979, a full hearing was heldhearing, on January 3, 1980, I issued the supersedeas pending resolution of the complaint in prohibition before the full Supreme Court.
On January 7, 1980, there was a Chester Township Reorganizational Meeting. Matthews' alleged term as Vacancy Board Chairman expired. Healy's term as Township Supervisor also expired. William Pisarek was elected to the Board of Supervisors to replace Healy. At the meeting, a motion was carried to declare all township offices vacant. The supervisors filled the positions of chairman, secretary, treasurer, and police commissioner by a majority vote. But the office of Vacancy Board Chairman ended in a two to two tie and remained vacant.
Meanwhile, the proposed 1980 budget was adopted at a special supervisors meeting on January 11, 1980. However, before the proposed budget may be finally adopted,


the Township Building prior to the budget meeting, requested a copy of the agenda for the meeting, and asked Spykerman and Pisarek whether any business other than the budget would be transacted at the meeting. Spykerman and Pisarek advised Hales that there was no agenda and that they knew of no other business to be transacted aside from the budget. Palazzo was unable to attend the meeting. After the final budget was unanimously adopted, Spykerman nominated Slavin for the position of Vacancy Board Chairman, Stapleton for Township Solicitor, and Walton as Township Engineer. Hales objected to the nominations and left the room. Meanwhile, Spykerman and Pisarek remained at the meeting and voted in favor of Slavin, Stapleton, and Walton.[7]
Shortly thereafter, Spykerman, Pisarek, and Slavin scheduled a Vacancy Boardaction, they filed a motion for a preliminary injunction and a Temporary Restraining Order. The complaint in both actions concern Hales' and Palazzo's assertion that Slavin, Walton, Stapleton, and Phillips were not properly elected to their respective positions. Judge Reed issued a Temporary Restraining Order and scheduled a hearing on February 12, 1980. The scheduled hearing was continued until February 25 and 26, 1980 and was held before Judge Diggins. At the conclusion of the hearing, Judge Diggins held the matter under advisement and continued the Temporary Restraining Order.
On March 25, 1980, the defendants in the February 8, 1980 equity action filed with this Court a Notice to Appeal From the Order Continuing the Temporary Restraining Order. The appellants' request for a supersedeas pending appeal was denied by


Township of Chester, Spykerman, Pisarek, Slavin, Walton, Stapleton and Phillips. In conjunction with the equity action, they filed a motion for a preliminary injunction and a Temporary Restraining Order. The complaints, identical in both actions, concern Hales' and Palazzo's assertion that Slavin, Walton, Stapleton and Phillips were not properly elected to their respective positions. Appellees requested that Slavin, Walton, Stapleton and Phillips be removed from their respective offices *484 and restrained from acting in their official capacities until such time as the Court removes them from their office in an action in quo warranto.
The Order of February 26, 1980 restrained appellants Slavin, Walton and Stapleton from acting in their official capacities.[11] The Order, in addition, restrained Spykerman and Pisarek from acting in any official capacity with appellants andaction against the Township Supervisors in order to challenge the appointment of Supervisor Belardino by the other Township Supervisors. The source of the dispute concerned the activities at a Township meeting on May 13, 1970. At this meeting, the supervisors appointed James E. Stauring to fill the vacancy on the Board created by the death of Fred Zeigler, whose term would have expired in January 1974. The next morning, Belardino, whose term would have expired in January 1972, resigned from the Board and Albert Bader was appointed to the vacancy. At this same meeting, Stauring also resigned and Belardino was appointed to his vacancy. The end result of this maneuvering was an addition of two years to Belardino's term of office.
After an evidentiary hearing, the Common Pleas Court


filed on February 8, 1980. This action alleged that improper notice of the meeting of Township Supervisors at which they were elected, as well as a lack of a quorum, invalidated their election. On February 12, 1980, the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County granted an Injunction which restrained the appellants from acting in their "official" capacity pending the resolution of the quo warranto proceeding. On February 26, 1980, the Common Pleas Court ordered that the Injunction remain in effect. The appellants filed a notice of appeal to this Court and also requested an order staying the Injunction pending appeal. A Stay was granted by Mr. Justice Nix and Mr. Justice Kauffman on April 7, 1980.
I would dismiss this appeal and dissolve the aforementioned Stay.
