He invited me in cheerfully, and stepping into the hall, I got a silent nod from his wife, a plump woman who was sitting on the couch watching television with her feet up and curlers in her hair.

Marvin and Betty maintain that they never received any package of the kind Quakenbush described. They didn't allow me to press them on the matter. Outside, on the porch, wind chimes tinkled in the breeze. The sound carried into the house, and standing in the hallway, I felt as if I were listening to the anthem of a private nation walledoff from the rest of the United States, the nation of Nicholson, the only nation to which he now appeared to swear his allegiance.

The actual reason for the sudden appearance of life in the Cambrian period was due to a family of intergalactic travelers that arrived on pre-historic Earth and released their aquatic pets into the planet's environment.

TO READERS: This story has been revised to correctly describe the crimes at the gun stores as burglaries.

Authorities have arrested two Des Moines men connected to a string of recent gun store burglaries around the metro area.

David Marken Aikoriegie and Myles Jordan Maricle Pena appeared in federal court Tuesday before United States Magistrate Judge Celeste F. Bremer on charges related to a series of gun store burglaries in Urbandale and Clive, according to a news release.

In total, 31 handguns and seven automatic weapons were stolen during the three burglaries. In Clive alone, 28 handguns and the seven automatic weapons were stolen.

Clive Police Chief Michael Venema told the Register Tuesday night that only six weapons have been recovered so far from the two Rangemasters burglaries. And despite the twoor around Dec. 14, he sold a stolen firearm to another individual, which had been previously stolen from one of the burglaries alleged to have been committed by Aikoriegie.

Additionally, the complaint states during a search warrant at his home, Pena was found in possession of a firearm and marijuana. He is charged with unlawful drug user in possession of a firearm.

In both criminal complaints, it states how Pena met with a "cooperating defendant" on Dec. 14 in a Walgreens parking lot, located on East 14th Street and University Avenue, where a black Smith and Wesson M&P was sold for $600 in exchange for $150 and "a quantity of marijuana."

The handgun, which was stolen from Rangemasters, was later seized by Des Moines police during an encounter with the defendant


dragged from the car in which she was riding and sexually assaulted by three of the nine men. According to evidence presented at trial, one of her assaulters put a gun to her head and pulled the trigger. The gun failed to fire. Perhaps realizing the seriousness of what they were witnessing, four of the men left the scene in one of the cars without participating in the assault. The identities of those men is the subject of this appeal.
Alfonso Flores, one of the men in the original group of nine, eventually made a deal with the State in exchange for his testimony at de la Rosa's trial. At trial, Flores testified that he, Flores, had been one of the men who had left the scene early, withoutparticipating in the assault. He also testified that de la Rosa had not only remained, but had been one of Cardenas's three attackers. On cross examination, Flores acknowledged that he had used his written statement to police, made the day after he was arrested, to refresh his memory in preparation for testifying. The prior statement contradicted critical portions of Flores's trial testimony. The contradictory portions were read to the jury. In his police statement, Flores stated that de la Rosa had not assaulted the victim, but had left the scene with Flores and two other men when he realized what was going on. The defense attorney questioned Flores about the inconsistency and made the witness read the contradictory part to the jury. Out of the presence of the

Diwan and Rodrik (1991) also consider various degrees of IPR protection in the North and the South. Interestingly, they find that to maximize the global welfare, which is the equally weighted sum of the North’s and the South’s welfare, the rates of patent protection in the two regions must be identical. They emphasize the taste difference between the two regions and assume no innovative capability in the South. Helpman (1993) uses a dynamic general equilibrium North–South model to study IPR protection, growth and welfare. He assumes that the North specializes in innovation and the South specializesThe last time the Canadian government showed serious resolve about overhauling its gun laws was after a gunman opened fire at a Montreal college, École Polytechnique, killing 14 women. That was in 1989, after which the government imposed new screening and training requirements on gun buyers. A national gun registry was also established to enable police to track individual firearms—but a few years later, under the conservative prime minister Stephen Harper, it was dismantled.

agricultural inputs and outputs, labour, and other goods and services such as credit and insurance - are lacking or do not function well. The uncertainties of weather, particularly with accelerating climate change and the lack of affordable insurance, are at the heart of the vulnerabilities of households dependent on agricultural livelihoods.

The time horizon of vulnerable agricultural households is reduced because they focus on survival. As a result, they are especially prone to adopt low-risk, low-return agricultural and other income-generating strategies, and may seek to obtain liquidity or diversify income sources in casual labour markets. For similar reasons, households may underinvest in the education and health of their children, as well as adopt negative risk-coping strategies such as distress sales of assets, reducing the quantity and quality of foodissue of targeting**

A fundamental operational issue to be addressed in bringing the sectors together is targeting interventions. The experience of several countries shows that single or unified registries or unified targeting systems are particularly useful if several programmes have overlapping objectives and target populations.

While the effectiveness of specific programmes is served by better targeting, this need not contradict the universal provision of some form of social protection to all vulnerable people when they need it to avoid long-lasting harm from external shocks.

Social protection contributes to higher incomes and food security not only by ensuring increases in consumption, but by enhancing a household's ability


agenda. Raising incomes and employment is essential for achieving these goals, and there are many ways this can be accomplished, such as by raising small family farm productivity, increasing education levels and assisting households to enter new and higher-return activities. These are longer-term aspirations for the poor, while poverty and hunger are daily realities with lasting consequences. The poor and hungry need more immediate help. In this chapter, we review the effectiveness of social protection interventions in reducing poverty, raising food consumption and diversifying diets. We review a broad range of social protection measures, with the main focus on social assistance interventions targeted at poor households, rather than other social protection measures.

**Social protection can help reduce poverty**

A broad range of social protection measures (including social assistance, social insuranceHoddinott, Peterman _et al_. (2014) reported that the value of per capita food consumption, per capita caloric intake and dietary diversity all increased, regardless of whether the programme transferred cash, vouchers or food. They did not find differences in the shares of the transfers used on food and non-food consumption, but found that food transfers had a greater impact on caloric intake while vouchers had a greater impact on improving dietary diversity. In the case of food transfers, the increased food consumption largely came from the food items making up the food transfer - which, if sufficiently diverse, could increase dietary diversity - while, for vouchers, the increased food consumption was derived from a greater variety of food items, including vegetables, eggs, and milk and dairy products.

Unconditional programmes


significant effects for dairy, eggs, meat, fish and fruit for households with fewer members and for female-headed households, in part from higher own production. Romeo _et al_. (2015) found that after four years, and the erosion of the value of the transfer due to inflation, the CT-OVC no longer had a significant impact on food consumption. However, the behavioural change associated with the consumption of more diverse and better-quality food persisted.

Pension programmes can also contribute to food security. In the Plurinational State of Bolivia, for example, Martinez (2004) found that the social (non-contributory) pension provided by the BONOSOL ( _Bono Solidario_ ) programme was spent almost entirely on raising food consumption, which rose by 6.3 percent. Most of the increase, which was achieved in part by greater homeprogrammes aim to alter gender relations (OPM, 2013b; Jennings _et al_., 2013).

Empowerment outcomes from social protection measures are influenced by programme objectives (e.g. to empower women) and programme design (e.g. when females are transfer recipients, or where the programme includes spouse sensitization on gender issues) as well as the extent of women's decision-making power before the programme begins. Educational level is critical, as is the degree to which a woman's educational level matches or exceeds that of her spouse (de Brauw _et al_., 2014). Developing women's skills and enabling their access to resources and employment need greater attention. In addition, social protection programmes need to be continued over sufficient time to ensure sustainable economic empowerment impacts (de la O Campos, 2015).

The design of social protection programmes also needs


to take into account women's special role in household food security in much of the world. Traditionally, women bear responsibility for preparing meals and caring for children and other family members. They are also typically responsible for collecting firewood, fuel and water. At the same time, they are farmers and/or contribute labour to the household farm or participate in the labour market. These different responsibilities typically impose heavy burdens on women's time, and often imply trade-offs in how time is allocated, _inter alia_ , for child care. Early public works programmes were heavily criticized for adding to women's burdens, but more recent programmes have been designed to foster women's inclusion.

The Indian MGNREGA programme, for example, was designed to include provision of creche facilities at rural work sites ifliquidity or more secure income (Dercon, 2002). For similar reasons, households may underinvest in the education and health of their children, or adopt negative risk-coping strategies such as distress sales of assets, reducing the quantity and quality of food consumption, taking children out of school, or even begging.

In this context, social protection can affect investment decisions via three pathways: managing risks; relaxing liquidity, credit and savings constraints; and spillover effects into the community and local economy (Alderman and Yemtsov, 2014; Tirivayi, Knowles and Davis, 2013).

First, social protection can help households manage risk. Social protection instruments provided at regular and predictable intervals can increase certainty and security for agricultural households, partially substituting for insurance and providing a crucial source of liquidity. Poor rural households actively manage risks using tools


for the control group (Moretti _et al_., 2006).

Both conditional and unconditional cash transfers have been shown to improve school enrolment and attendance, as well as health outcomes. Mexico's PROGRESA/ _Oportunidades_ / _Prospera_ conditional cash transfer programme increased secondary school enrolment by six percentage points for boys and nine percentage points for girls. In Bangladesh, a small programme targeting the hardest-to-reach children increased primary school enrolment by nine percentage points. And in Nicaragua, the (now discontinued) _Red de Protecci on_ social protection programme increased overall enrolment by 13 percentage points, enrolment of children from the very poorest households by 25 percentage points and regular primary school attendance by 20 percentage points. Conditional cash transfer programmes have also had significant impacts on health. For example, in Colombia and Ecuador, socialdifferent administrative levels (village, union council and _tehsil_ [a subdistrict, consisting of several villages and towns]), train women to know their rights, enable women's leaders to participate in monthly meetings, liaise with BISP local offices and other government agencies, and become involved in participatory monitoring activities (Naqvi, 2013). Similar efforts are underway in Bangladesh, where BRAC's CFPR-TUP programme enables women beneficiaries to participate in weekly meetings (at which the cash stipend is disbursed) and discuss problems related to their small businesses, health and social care (Holmes _et al_., 2010).

However, implementing social protection programme goals in relation to women's participation is still a challenge. In India, for example, the MGNREGA programme provides for the inclusion of women representatives in the _gram sabha_ , social audit fora, and state- and


remittances received from family members living outside the community (Daidone, Davis, Dewbre and Covarrubias, 2014). In Malawi, private transfers to cash transfer beneficiaries decreased by 32 percent, mostly due to a decline in cash and in-kind gifts from friends and family, rather than from remittances (Covarrubias, Davis and Winters, 2012). In Ethiopia (Berhane _et al_., 2011), there was no evidence that the PSNP reduced or replaced private transfers. However, an earlier study (Gilligan _et al_., 2009) found that the programme sometimes replaced private transfers when payments were regular, and reduced private transfers when payments were irregular. On the other hand, there is no evidence that food aid and food-for-work crowded out private transfers among pastoralists in Ethiopia and Kenya (Lentz and Barrett, 2005). In South Africa, old-age pensioners2013). Such prioritization is having an impact: the construction of water supply, sanitation and hygiene facilities, for example, has reduced women's work burden (USAID, 2012).

Other countries have also prioritized "women's" community assets. Peru's rural roads project, aimed at remote indigenous populations, has helped women improve footpaths, facilitating their access to social services and markets, and girls' access to schools (World Bank, 2009; Okola, 2011). Similarly, Zambia's Food for Work programme, almost entirely taken up by women (as men typically refused to work for non-cash payments), built pit latrines in rural communities. The latrines have reduced the distance that women have to walk and thus their vulnerability to sexual violence (Kabeer, 2008).

One of the main challenges facing asset creation programmes is the issue of choice, i.e. who chooses and


in the presence of supply constraints and inflation, the actual multiplier might only be 1.34 (American Institutes for Research, 2013). In Ghana, supply-side constraints could reduce the multiplier from 2.5 to 1.5 (Thorne _et al_., 2014).

An informative example is the Ethiopian SCTPP, introduced in 2011. This programme covers two _woredas_ in the Tigray region, one rural (Hintalo-Wajirat) and one urban (Abi-Adi) (Kagin _et al_., 2014). Each birr distributed in rural Hintalo-Wajirat generated an extra 1.52 birr in the local economy, for a total local-income multiplier of 2.52. By comparison, each birr distributed in urban Abi-Adi generated only an extra 0.35 birr, for a total local-income multiplier of 1.35. Thus, the initial transfers of 5.58 million birr in Hintalo-Wajirat and 1.62 million birr in Abi-Adi potentially generated 14.06 millionp. 27). Conditions involving health and education are not helpful when health clinics or schools are difficult to reach or not available (Grosh _et al_., 2008; Handa and Davis, 2006).

**Markets matter too**

The nature of the local economy also shapes the type and extent of the productive impacts of cash transfer programmes. In rural areas, market constraints can be particularly binding due to low population density, low levels of public investment and inadequate public infrastructure.

Where markets are more developed, the effects of cash transfers on livelihood strategies tend to be stronger (Barca _et al_., 2015). The importance of market conditions has generally been framed in relation to the availability of factors of production. For example, household agricultural economic investment in Kenya was more prevalent in the Owendo district compared


(FISP) in Malawi. Launched in the 2005/06 season, following a severe drought in 2004/05, and a prolonged food shortage, FISP aims to strengthen household food security by boosting production and by lowering or stabilizing food prices. The programme covers more than 1.7 million households, more than half of all households and more than 60 percent of all small family farmers, providing subsidized maize seeds and fertilizer at a cost of about 3 percent of GDP in 2011/12 (Chirwa and Dorward, 2013).

Significant impacts were found at the level of households, markets and the economy (Box 16). Strong positive effects were found in terms of the improved availability of maize and lower maize prices in rural markets, as well as higher wage rates for agricultural labour ( _ganyu_ ). Maizeproduction in the country rose from 1.2 million tonnes in 2004 to 3.6 million tonnes in 2013, and exceeded national requirements every year, starting in 2005 (FAO, 2015a). The combination of increased production, cheaper maize and higher returns to _ganyu_ reduced hunger in food-insecure rural households. Households that received FISP coupons were 22 percent more likely to report "adequate" maize production. Two-thirds of households reported that food security had improved at the household and community levels as a result of the subsidy programme (Chirwa and Dorward, 2013). The programme's success in raising production led to other sub-Saharan countries introducing similar schemes. In general, these have been successful in raising yields and agricultural production, although the impact on household food security is often not clear, due to lack of


PAA beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries to study the impact of procurement on family farm incomes in three municipalities in the state of Parana. Their survey showed an income increase of 25.2 percent among programme participants who had accessed family farm credit and a 43 percent increase in income for those who had not received credit (Doretto and Michellon, 2007). Also, one-third of PAA beneficiaries in the sample had increased their cultivated areas while two-thirds had improved their crop production technology. The improved income, planted area and technology level helped create a better division of labour within the household, allowing family members to work outside agriculture and diversify their income sources. One-third of participating families in two of the sampled municipalities reported incomes from sources other than agriculture.

The PAA providedparticipants have more income from sales to the PAA, but also because non-participants tended to be subsistence producers. The new Brazil without Poverty strategy aims to expand DAP registration to incorporate around 200 000 family farmers living below the poverty line. The vast majority of these farmers live in Brazil's northeast region, which has the highest incidence of poverty in the country.

In Campina do Monte Alegre in Sao Paulo, the prices offered through the PAA were 45.9 percent higher than the average price offered by other intermediaries (Agapto _et al_., 2012). Lucena and Luiz (2009) found that for a sample of seven PAA participants in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, higher prices increased incomes by 43 percent, on average. The reference prices provide incentives for farmers


poverty in countries that are predominantly agricultural.

But this is a longer-term scenario. The poor need immediate help to avoid poverty and hunger, which in themselves undermine the ability of individuals and households to be productive both now and in the future. Social protection can also play an important role in the longer-term context of the structural transformation of agriculture by making the process more inclusive, and less painful, through mitigating the costs farmers face in adjusting to changes and by enabling households to diversify out of agriculture. These basic principles were, and remain, key drivers of several large-scale and high-profile social protection programmes in developing countries, notably in Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Mexico and South Africa, which have given impetus to a reassessment of the value and role ofcan also contribute to improving nutrition.

**Social protection can promote investment in productive activities**

The livelihoods of most poor rural households in the developing world are still based on agriculture, and particularly on subsistence agriculture. Many of these farmers live in places where markets - for agricultural inputs and outputs, labour, and other goods and services such as credit and insurance - are lacking or do not function well. The uncertainties of weather, particularly with accelerating climate change, and the lack of affordable insurance are at the heart of the vulnerabilities of households dependent on agricultural livelihoods.

The time horizon of vulnerable agricultural households is reduced because they focus on survival. As a result, they often adopt low risk, low-return, agricultural and other income-generating strategies, and may seek to obtain liquidity


protection enhances nutrition, health and education, with implications for future productivity, employability, incomes and well-being. Social protection programmes that provide regular and predictable transfers promote savings and investment in both farm and off-farm activities, and encourage households to engage in more ambitious activities offering higher returns.
  * **Social protection does not reduce work effort.** But it does give beneficiaries greater choice, and many shift time previously dedicated to casual agricultural wage employment of last resort to own-farm work or non-agricultural employment. Taken together with the increase in farm and non-farm production activities, social protection strengthens livelihoods instead of fostering dependency.

The couple started dating in 2012, however, the couple kept their relationship secret.

Karlie Kloss is officially off the market!!

The 25-year-old model is engaged to be married with her long-term boyfriend Joshua Kushner, multiple sources confirmed. Kloss took to her Instagram on Tuesday, July 24.

The couple was captured packed on PDA on a yacht in Italy just two days before they confirmed their engagement.

The couple has been in a relationship since 2012, however, the couple kept their relationship low profile. People speculated them as a couple after they were spotted cozying up together at a party in NYC.

Talking to Porter magazine earlier this year, the supermodel told why she kept her relationship private for such a long time. Sheused with differing degrees of success to try and stabilize a protein active ingredient present in a pharmaceutical composition. Additionally, cryoprotectants such as alcohols have been used to reduce protein denaturation under the freezing conditions of lyophilization.
Albumins are small, abundant plasma proteins. Human serum albumin has a molecular weight of about 69 kiloDaltons (kD) and has been used as a non-active ingredient in a pharmaceutical composition where it can serve as a bulk carrier and stabilizer of certain protein active ingredients present in a pharmaceutical composition.
The stabilization function of albumin in a pharmaceutical composition can be present both during the multi-step formulation of the pharmaceutical composition and upon the later reconstitution of the formulated pharmaceutical composition. Thus, stability can be imparted by albumin to a proteinaceous active ingredient


in the basal ganglia, by the motor neurons that innervate the skeletal muscles, by the preganglionic neurons of the autonomic nervous system (both sympathetic and parasympathetic), by the postganglionic neurons of the parasympathetic nervous system, and by some of the postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system. Essentially, only the postganglionic sympathetic nerve fibers to the sweat glands, the piloerector muscles and a few blood vessels are cholinergic as most of the postganglionic neurons of the sympathetic nervous system secret the neurotransmitter norepinephrine. In most instances acetylcholine has an excitatory effect. However, acetylcholine is known to have inhibitory effects at some of the peripheral parasympathetic nerve endings, such as inhibition of heart rate by the vagal nerve.

The theoretical optimal is to have 100% of the botulinum toxin which enters the compounding process present in the final reconstituted product and present as biologically active botulinum toxin.

Expressed in an alternate manner, what is needed is a botulinum toxin pharmaceutical composition with a higher potency of the botulinum toxin for each nanogram of the botulinum toxin present in the botulinum toxin pharmaceutical composition.


School senior rode a dirt bike through the hallway of the high school as a prank," said police spokeswoman Jennifer Dillard, noting the fellow was released pending a court date after being arrested. "The assault charge was the result of the handlebar of the dirt bike making contact with another student, causing a minor injury," Dillard added.

As should be expected, students quickly reached for their smartphones and captured videos of the rider's knobby tire antics.

"There were three or four people recording it," said one student, a freshman who said he was eating lunch when the excitement began. "They were all laughing. He definitely was not out to hurt anybody. He was going pretty slow. It didn't seem malicious or anything. He was just riding around."

The fun came toan end after the prankster - whose name and age was not released by police - clipped a girl with his handlebar, said the witness. A security guard came and lowered the boom: He dragged the troublemaker off his bike "pushed him against a wall and put him in a stairwell and basically kept him there until the police came and put him into cuffs," said the freshman.

He said he believes the rider entered the building through a door by the gym entrance. "He came in there and went around the hallways," said the student. "He was wearing a helmet."


wrote a report – released by the Senate Intelligence Committee earlier this week – about Russia’s social media operations in the 2016 election and its efforts to hurt Hillary Clinton and help Donald Trump.

He reportedly contacted Renée DiResta, who later joined his company and became the leading author of the report about the Russian interference efforts for the firm, asking for suggestions of online tactics that are worth testing.

In a statement on Twitter, he denied the project was aimed at influencing the election, which the Democrat won by 22,000 votes. "I did not participate in any campaign to influence the public," he wrote, saying the project goals weren't about supporting the Jones campaign.

The Senate Intelligence Committee did not respond to a request for comment.

The Alabama project was fundedlocal and national media, falsely suggesting Russia is backing Moore’s candidacy.

“Russian invasion? Roy Moore sees spike in Twitter followers from land of Putin,” read the headline of an article at The Montgomery Advertiser, just months before the election night. Other outlets shortly picked up the story.

The Washington Post, meanwhile, pointed out that the Moore campaign accused the Jones campaign and Democratic operatives of “pulling a political stunt on Twitter and alerting their friends in the media.

Moore's bid for Senate was later clouded by allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct with teenage girls while he was in his 30s. One woman alleged that Moore had her touch him in private areas when she was just 14.

It remains unclear if the Facebook page or the fake Russian accounts amplified the allegations

Brains, Ryan Braun, and looking good with Wranglers on

It was August 26th 1995, just after 8 o’clock on a balmy 94-degree summer evening in a modest southern California suburb, just outside of San Fernando. In the middle of a fresh-cut lush green backyard lawn, a boy laid flat on his back, gazed blankly into the night sky, and popped a baseball back-and-forth from his bare right hand to his gloved left. A set of wireless radio headphones wrapped over a weathered-blue Dodgers cap, and pinned tightly to his ears. The vivacious sounds of a live Dodgers game flowed through both speakers, and into the aspiring mind of a young star-to-be as he imagined his life as a Big Leaguer.

U.S. Rep. Mark Sanford hugged his sons after addressing his supporters at Liberty Tap Room in Mount Pleasant, S.C., Tuesday, June 12, 2018. Sanford lost his first election ever Tuesday, beaten for the Republican nomination for another term in the coastal 1st District around Charleston by state Rep. Katie Arrington. (Wade Spees/The Post And Courier via AP)

Primary election lesson for GOP: Don't cross the president

That's the lesson many Republicans are drawing from Rep. Mark Sanford's surprise defeat Tuesday in his primary election in South Carolina. The victor, state Rep. Katie Arrington, repeatedly highlighted Sanford's criticism of the president.

The outcome is a cautionary tale for Republicans in Congress who try to work with Trump while also maintaining their independence. One wrong turn — or in Sanford's case, many —and they could face the wrath of a president who is quick to attack detractors as enemies, even in his own party.

"That's ultimately what the race devolved down to, which was, was I Trump enough?" Sanford told reporters on Capitol Hill.

"It's a very tribal environment right now," he said. "Are you for or against Trump?"

He said he hoped his defeat would not dissuade other members from speaking out against Trump. Agreeing to disagree is "a sign of health in our political system."

Sanford is the second incumbent House Republican to lose a primary this year, though the defeat of Rep. Robert Pittenger in North Carolina came despite his staunch support for the president.

Still, Sanford is only the latest casualty in the intra-party conflict that has roiled the GOP in


the Trump era. Trump is known to remember slights from lawmakers.

Rep. Martha Roby, for example, was forced into a runoff last week in Alabama after her opponents seized on her own rift with the president. In 2016, after the release of a tape in which candidate Trump bragged about grabbing women, Roby said she wouldn't vote for him for president.

Recent results have a message, said Rep. Barry Loudermilk in neighboring Georgia. Be a team player or Trump will support someone who will be.

"It doesn't make me nervous, but it probably gives pause to some who want to openly criticize the president," he said.

Trump celebrated Sanford's defeat on Twitter, claiming success in ousting a foe. In a highly unusual move for a president, he had tweeted an endorsement ofArrington on Tuesday afternoon when polls were still open in South Carolina.

"My political representatives didn't want me to get involved in the Mark Sanford primary thinking that Sanford would easily win - but with a few hours left I felt that Katie was such a good candidate, and Sanford was so bad, I had to give it a shot," he said.

The transformation of the GOP under Trump makes some lawmakers uneasy.

It's "becoming a cultish thing, isn't it?" said retiring Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, who has an on-off relationship with Trump. "And it's not a good place for any party to end up with a cult-like situation."

To be sure, the president's track record of picking winners and losers in elections is not perfect. He also backed Gov. Henry


McMaster, who replaced Nikki Haley in South Carolina, but McMaster was forced into a primary runoff with Greenville businessman John Warren.

And Trump famously backed Roy Moore, the former Alabama judge accused of sexual misconduct with teenage girls, in a special election earlier this year that delivered the state's first Democrat to the U.S. Senate in a generation.

But Trump's preference for populist candidates like Corey Stewart, the Confederate-statue-supporting Republican who won the GOP nomination for Senate in Virginia on Tuesday, increasingly seems to be remaking the GOP, if not Congress, in his image. Stewart will face Sen. Tim Kaine, the Democratic Party's 2016 vice presidential nominee, in the fall.

As former Speaker John Boehner said recently, "There is no Republican Party. There's a Trump Party."

Recent polls have found that morethan 80 percent of Republican voters approve of the job Trump is doing, and that makes GOP lawmakers hesitant to criticize him.

"Yes, of course it's his party," said Doug Heye, a former top House GOP leadership aide who is now a party strategist. "That's only more true today, given his high popularity among Republican voters."

He said lawmakers would be wise to keep their differences with the president low-key and within the range of policy, not personality, so as not to alienate Republican primary voters protective of the commander in chief. "What they will not support is someone they view as going after the president personally," Heye said.

Sanford, the former South Carolina governor, had never lost an election before Tuesday, even after a high-profile extramarital affair with a woman


in Argentina. But he was never a strong Trump fan.

He demurred during the run-up to the 2016 election when asked if he'd support Trump and spoke out against the president after the election on issues such as limiting Muslim immigrants. He also voted against a border wall proposal, called Trump's proposed tariffs on aluminum and steel "an experiment with stupidity" and was unrelenting in calling for Trump to release his tax returns.

Arrington, the first-term state lawmaker who defeated him on Tuesday, aired ads that featured clips of Sanford speaking critically about Trump's actions.

Still, she didn't initially support Trump's candidacy either. "LOVE MITT ROMNEY!!!!!" Arrington wrote on Facebook in 2016. She later told AP that while she supported Florida Sen. Marco Rubio in the 2016 GOP primary, she eventuallydose of the drug, curing her of the disease.

By 1935, Prontosil Red was being trialled internationally, with Leonard Colebrook, himself a frequent experimenter with antibiotics, demonstrating the effectiveness of Prontosil Red in treating pregnant women, albeit with the side effect of turning his patients bright red. Prontosil Red was the first Sulphanilamide drugs.

Such was the success of this drug that he was nominated for a Nobel Prize in 1939. However, at this time the Nazi's were running Germany. They held a dim view of the Nobel prizes due to the previous German to win a prize. Carl von Ossietzky was a pacifist, who exposed the Nazi's breaking of the treaty of Versailles by training an air corp, and won the Nobel peace prize for his opposition to the


Nazi's. As a result of this, the Nazi's forbade any German from accepting Nobel prizes

So when Domagk won a Nobel prize, he was immediately thrown in jail for a week by the Gestapo. This was enough to convince him not to accept the Nobel prize until 1947, two years after Fleming.

By this time, Doctors were already discovering the limits of antibiotics. A.J. Cokkinis wrote in 1938

Inadequate dosage and too short a period not only fail to do any good but seem to lead to the development of acquired resistance on the part of the organism to the drug

.

Amongst the first to analyse these limitations were a group of researchers based at St Mary's, one of whom was Alexander Fleming**. They had discovered that bacteria could adapt to antibioticconcentrations. The same year, Connor Macleod, a researcher based in New York, investigated this in more detail. He discovered that gradually increasing the amount of antibiotics in broth could increase the numbers of resistant bacteria.

Sulfa drugs like Prontosil Red changed the way medicine worked, and laid down the foundations upon which modern medicine would arise. Unlike penicillin, Prontosil and the related sulphonamide and sulphanilamide drugs could be created entirely synthetically from available chemicals.

Bayer's technique for finding drugs could best be compared to throwing spaghetti against a wall until it sticks, testing random chemicals until they produced the effects they wanted. and people say that Alexander Fleming relied on luck ! Bayer appeared to be basing its company policy on it.

But the question remains as to why they decided


to use dye compounds as antibiotics, how did they even know it could work. It's not like there was someone before them who discovered antibiotics even earlier...was there ?

* Heinrich Hoerlein would eventually rise up to the managing board of IG farben, which was the conglomerate which ran a number of companies, including Bayer. Originally, it was primarily a dye making company. But it's activities during World War 2 were infamous. It was the company that developed Zyklon B, in the time that Hoerlein served on its board, which is why he found himself at the Nuremberg trials alongside many of the other company directors. It didn't help that at least one of these directors had been conducting experiments at Auschwitz under the direction of the SS. Thesethe case of a resin-sealing apparatus having the structure as described hereinabove, because the cull is inevitably formed in the pot and runners, sealing resin that is trapped in the runners and call is wasted.
To improve such a resin-sealing apparatus, the inventors of the present invention proposed a resin-sealing apparatus disclosed in Japanese Published Unexamined Patent Application No. Hei 10-119082. In detail, the resin-sealing apparatus has cavities between a movable top mold and a fixed bottom mold into which sealing resin is injected for molding and the molded products are ejected out by means of an ejector pin, wherein sealing resin is inserted into an ejector guide passage of the ejector pin and heated and molten sealing resin is injected into the cavities by means of the ejector


of a mold unit and a plunger for injecting molten resin in the pot in to the cavity is disposed slidably and airtightly with the inside wall of the pot is provided.
According to another example of the present invention, a resin-sealing apparatus in which a plurality of cavities are formed on the mold unit, a resin injection inlet of the pot is opens to each cavity, and a pair of a pot and a plunger are disposed for each cavity is provided.
According to further another example of the present invention, a resin-sealing apparatus in which a resin injection inlet of the pot opens to the cavity surface center of the cavity of the mold unit is provided.
According to yet another example of the present invention, a resin-sealing apparatusSince their modern formation in the mid-twentieth century, Saudi Arabia and the five smaller Gulf monarchies -- Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) -- have been governed by highly autocratic and seemingly anachronistic regimes. Nevertheless, their rulers have demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of bloody conflicts on their doorsteps, fast-growing populations at home, and modernizing forces from abroad.

One of the monarchies’ most visible survival strategies has been to strengthen security ties with Western powers, in part by allowing the United States, France, and Britain to build massive bases on their soil and by spending lavishly on Western arms. In turn, this expensive militarization has aided a new generation of rulers that appears more prone than ever to antagonizing Iran and even other Gulf


region’s opposition movements.

Among the largest Western installations in the Gulf is al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which owes its existence to the country’s former ruler, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani. In 1999, al-Thani told the United States that he would like to see 10,000 American servicemen permanently based in the emirate, and over the next few years, the United States duly began shifting personnel there from Saudi Arabia. Today, al-Udeid houses several thousand U.S. servicemen at a time and has also served as a forward headquarters of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), a U.S. Air Force expeditionary air wing, a CIA base, and an array of U.S. Special Forces teams. Nearby Bahrain hosts the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command and the entire U.S. Fifth Fleet, which includes some 6,000U.S. personnel. The United States recently downsized its force in Kuwait, but four U.S. infantry bases remain, including Camp Patriot, which is believed to house about 3,000 U.S. soldiers and two air bases.

The United States plans to further expand its regional military presence in the near future. As CENTCOM recently announced, the country will be sending the latest U.S. antimissile systems to at least four Gulf states. These are new versions of the Patriot anti-missile batteries that the United States already sent to the region and are meant to assuage the Gulf rulers’ fears of Iranian missile attacks. Tellingly, the announcement did not reveal exactly which states had agreed to take the U.S. weapons. Yet analysts widely assume that the unnamed states are Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the


some limited success; members of the Gulf's Sunni populations have been quick to accuse Shia activists of being traitors. Many Western authorities continue to lend support to the monarchies on the grounds that the alternative would be Iran-style theocratic, revolutionary, and anti-Western governments.

Still, the risks of such rabid anti-Iran sentiments are serious and possibly existential. By acting on such attitudes, Gulf monarchs have undermined their longstanding position as neutral peace brokers and distributors of regional development aid, and made themselves into legitimate targets in any conflict in the Persian Gulf. It is unlikely that the fathers of today’s Gulf rulers would have allowed that to happen, no matter how deeply they distrusted their neighbor across the Gulf. This previous generation sidelined most confrontations with Iran -- including eventhe 1971 seizure of three UAE islands by the Shah -- in recognition of shared economic interests and the substantial Iranian expatriate populations that reside in many of the monarchies.

All that is now ancient history in states like Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Saudi officials have taken a particularly aggressive stance. According to a leaked U.S. diplomatic cable from 2008, the Saudi king has “repeatedly exhorted the United States to cut off the head of the snake” -- Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Another cable from the same year quoted a veteran Saudi minister for foreign affairs suggesting a U.S. or NATO offensive in southern Lebanon to end Iran-backed Hezbollah’s grip on power there. And a former Saudi intelligence chief has said publicly that Saudi Arabia should “consider


Israel, connected therewith by virtue of their nationality of working on its behalf.”

For many years, however, the boycott extended well beyond such restrictions. The state-owned telecommunications company has barred telephone calls to Israel and blocked Web sites with an Israeli suffix. The government has not permitted Israeli nationals to enter the UAE, nor -- in theory -- any visitors that possess Israeli visa stamps in their passports. Yet trade opportunities have occasionally prompted the UAE to ignore its own boycott. After joining the World Trade Organization in 1996, UAE authorities were clearly under pressure to drop or at least relax their stance. When Dubai agreed to host the WTO's annual meeting in 2003, delegations from all of the organization's member states had to be invited; there was noway to prevent the arrival of an Israeli delegation or the flying of an Israeli flag on top of the Dubai World Trade Centre tower.

Concerns over Iran have further thawed relations between some of the Gulf monarchies and Israel. An open channel of communication now exists between Qatar and the Israeli security services. In late 2010, Qatar hosted a large delegation of senior Israeli policemen, among them the head of the Israeli police’s investigations and intelligence branch, ostensibly as part of an Interpol meeting. Thus far, there is little firm evidence of growing security ties between Saudi Arabia and Israel, or at least there have been no blatant admissions of them (as has been the case with Bahrain and Qatar). Nevertheless, rumors of significant Saudi-Israeli cooperation, prompted by


al-Qasimi. Their very elderly father, Sheikh Saqr bin Mohammed al-Qasimi, later signed a decree in support of this change, but many analysts questioned the ruler’s decision-making abilities, given his advanced age and poor health. The new crown prince had the apparent backing of Abu Dhabi, which sent military tanks to take positions on the streets of Ras al-Khaimah. The ousted crown prince’s supporters still took the streets to show their support; security forces with water cannons disbursed them. The crown prince was then duly exiled, crossing the border to Oman before leaving for the United States.

As the emirate’s Dubai-like development program began to flounder in 2008, the new crown prince Saud became increasingly vulnerable to criticism, including widespread allegations that he accepted kickbacks from the construction industry. Theeven courted Israeli support, reportedly meeting with Israel’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, who said that he was “working with certain people from his side” and “promised that the matter will be solved in his [the former crown prince’s] favor.”

In late 2010, the campaign appeared to be gaining traction. Abu Dhabi’s ruling family allowed Khalid to return from exile to visit his father Sheikh Saqr, who still held the throne but was undergoing treatment in an Abu Dhabi hospital. When Saqr died in October, Khalid quickly returned to Ras al-Khaimah and installed himself in his former palace with some 150 heavily armed guards and even more loyal tribesmen. He seemed confident that, having received Abu Dhabi’s blessing to attend his father’s funeral, he would be officially installed as


ruler of Ras Khaimah later that day. But in the early evening, the UAE Ministry for Presidential Affairs in Abu Dhabi announced that his younger brother Saud had been named the new ruler of Ras al-Khaimah.

Abu Dhabi, which holds the presidency of the Emirates, deployed UAE tanks on the outskirts of the emirate and all of the deposed crown prince’s retainers -- including two of his cousins, several Omani citizens, and a Canadian military adviser -- were arrested and detained for questioning. Two months later, the emirate’s new ruler was invited to a banquet in Abu Dhabi held in his honor, where the ruler of Abu Dhabi congratulated him on his success.

The Gulf’s immediate future is likely to be marked by many more such coup and countercoup attempts.Crowds were shocked at the sizzling premiere of Kong: Skull Island in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Trumpcare has morphed into Zombiecare—and it just won’t stay dead.

But the embattled replacement for the Affordable Care Act wasn’t really alive either, as of Tuesday.

What form the undead plan will eventually take was still up in the air after a two-hour meeting in the basement of the Capitol Tuesday night. The meeting involved a small group of members representing the various factions of the Republican conference and heavy-hitters from the administration including Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, Health and Human Service Secretary Tom


Price, and Vice President Mike Pence

All-day rumors had floated around Washington that the White House would deliver the text of the bill by the end of the day on Tuesday. Republicans, including in the House Freedom Caucus, stressed that they needed to read the legislative text before rendering any verdict. But once the door closed on the late-night meeting, there was still nothing concrete for members to debate or even read.

Rep. Mark Meadows, chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, told The Daily Beast that while the White House had strongly suggested they would have text by the end of the day, he acknowledged, “that’s different from promising.”

He also confirmed that “certainly no agreements in terms of foundation” for a deal had materialized. He and other members of Congress"homologous series" is also often used for any collection of compounds that have similar structures or include the same functional group, such as the general alkanes (straight and branched), the alkenes (olefins), the carbohydrates, etc. However, if the members cannot be arranged in a linear order by a single parameter, the collection may be better called a "chemical family" or "class of homologous compounds" than a "series".

The concept of homologous series was proposed in 1843 by the French chemist Charles Gerhardt. A homologation reaction is a chemical process that converts one member of a homologous series to the next member.

Examples
The homologous series of straight-chained alkanes begins methane (CH4), ethane (C2H6), propane (C3H8), butane (C4H10), and pentane (C5H12). In that series, successive members differ in mass by an

He quickly asked Pope Pius II for help, and again in 1463 against the looming threat of Ottoman invasion. No help came, and Mehmet the Conqueror's invading army took the stronghold of Bobovac. Stephan Tomašević fled north to Jajce and then to the nearby fortress of Ključ where he was besieged, captured, and beheaded. The main Ottoman army withdrew in the fall of that year, only leaving scant garrisons to guard what they had conquered. King Matthias of Hungary then invaded and took most of Northern Bosnia by besieging and taking both Jajce and the nearby fortress of Zvečaj. MatthiasMotto: Desir de Bien Faire.

Perdido Key Travel Tips

The stunning locale of Perdido Key is located near the state's border with Alabama. Although it is no more than a few hundred yards wide in most places, Perdido Key is 16 miles long and stretches from Perdido Pass Bridge to Santa Rosa Island near Pensacola. Nearly 60 percent of the key is located in federal or state parks and one of the last unblemished stretches of land in the Florida Panhandle.

The literal translation of Perdido Key is "Lost Key." It was given its name by the Spanish who discovered the land in 1693. Bridges connectthe water rush up the shore and back into the Gulf of Mexico.

Golf is popular in Perdido Key and there are several clubs and courses nearby to give you the fix you're looking for. Even those who just want to practice their swing will enjoy the many clubs Perdido Key has to offer, including Lost Key Golf Club, Perdido Bay Golf Club and Marcus Pointe Golf Club. These are some of the best courses in Florida with Marcus Pointe's 18-hole, par-72 layout a clear favorite with visitors. The fairways and banks here are perfect for those of all skill levels.

Prohibition-era bans on the sale of alcohol.

Perhaps the most famous of the area's dry towns is Ocean City,
Cape May County, a former Methodist summer camp that has managed to
keep its abstinence despite its emergence as a bustling tourist
destination.

Others, such as the Cumberland County township of Hopewell, have
been dry for decades, but not necessarily for a religious
reason.

Hopewell Township Mayor Bruce Hankins said Wednes-day that it
probably was due more to the township's sleepy character as a
farming community than to any kind of moral principle.

"It just was always dry and I don't think anybody ever wanted
it," he said. "The package goods stores were always in Bridgeton. I
don't think the township residents would be in favor of a bar or
package goodsstore."

When Yilmaz opened the restaurant in 2005, he filed a petition
to bring the issue of liquor sales to the voters in a referendum.
It was defeated by the slim margin of about 15 votes, he said.

Other towns have had success with such referendums. The city of
Linwood in Atlantic County sold its first liquor license for
$500,000 in 2003 after residents voted overwhelmingly to allow
drinks to be served.

Budgetary concerns also prompted West Cape May officials to
consider ending its dry status in 2007, and voters approved the
idea. That municipality, however, has yet to adopt an ordinance
that would allow two liquor licenses.

Dennis Township, also in Cape May County, repealed its dry
status in 2001. Its first distribution liquor license, which went
up for bid during a closed-envelope auction, sold for $1.1
million.

Peixoto's work.

Back to Princeton, Peixoto met Steve Smale, the mathematician that would later become a reference in dynamical systems. Smale was interested in Peixoto's work and realized he could extend his own based on it. Their contact intensified and, when Peixoto came back to Brazil, the American mathematician spent six months at the Instituto Nacional de Matemática Pura e Aplicada (Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics or IMPA) at Rio de Janeiro. Through Smale, Peixoto would meet the French mathematician René Thom, who would help Peixoto to formulate his theorem, that was finalized during Thom's visit to IMPA.

A 21-year-old man who robbed a House of Knives store in Kelowna has completed a psychiatric assessment after pleading guilty and will face sentencing in August.

On April 8, Denver Moore painted his face black and entered the knife store at about 9:30 a.m. According to store employees, he went behind the counter and stole a “large edged weapon,” then threatened staff.

“The suspect, who attempted to conceal his identity in an unusual way, was described to police as having painted his entire face and arms black while wearing all black clothing,” said Const. Jesse O’Donaghey in April.

“It wasn’t too difficult for our investigators, aided by the store's video surveillance footage, to locate, identify and arrest the suspect in the 200 block of Leon Avenue.”

The present invention relates, in general, to electronics, and more particularly, to methods of forming semiconductor devices and structure.
In the past, the semiconductor industry utilized various methods and structures to form pulse width modulated (PWM) power supply controllers. The pulse width modulated (PWM) controllers typically operated with a fixed clock cycle. Most PWM controllers used the beginning of the clock cycle to start regulating the output voltage and terminated the regulation at some point during the cycle when the output voltage reached a desired value. This was generally referred to a leading edge modulation. One problem with the prior implementations was output voltage regulation. Once the regulation was terminated at some point during the clock cycle, the output voltage could change but the PWM controller could not beginNew data underscore that adults with no high school diploma or GED are at the greatest risk for the leading causes of disease and death.
