of duration, meaning longer maturity bonds, carry in the form of credit spreads, meaning lower quality instruments, carry in the form of volatility, carry, carry, carry. And ultimately that produced substantial bull markets, not just in bond markets but equity markets as well.

They captured basically carry relative to overnight financing and to Treasury bills.

Now when interest rates are so low and, in some cases, negative, it sets up the situation in which carry is not positive but negative. And you see in terms of the inner correlations, you see a market -- and this happened with hedge funds last year -- where the returns for hedge funds and other levered investors are basically zero or negative because the carry has collapsed and there's no carry to capture.

May was not present for the defeat, by 303 votes to 258, in which she again lost control of her party in the crucial final weeks before Britain is due to leave the EU on 29 March. The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, demanded May come to the Commons to explain her Brexit plan in the absence of parliamentary support for her approach

The Aadhaar programme has been criticised on several grounds. Among the weaknesses that have been pointed out is that India has no privacy law to protect the misuse of this data. Critics have also noted that the technology on which the project is based is unreliable: many parts of rural India lack the electricity and internet connections essential for the programme to work.

of fact that we will use as the basis for this summary. On or about June 15, 2014, Plaintiff Miller was involved in a motor vehicle collision. Miller was injured by a truck driven by Joseph Magnus. Magnus was a 17 year-old high school student at the time, and was driving a truck pulling a trailer with a backhoe. Magnus swerved to avoid a truck owned by Central Rural Electric Cooperative (CREC) which was stopped in the roadway. In doing so, Magnus's truck crossed the centerline and collided with Miller's vehicle. On June 18, 2014, Miller entered into a contract with MJ&J to represent his interest in claims against the potential Defendants arising out of the collision. The contract provided MJ&J would be compensated under a 33 1/3to proceed on the potential claim against CREC. On April 11, 2015, Martin sent Miller a second letter asking Miller to call and discuss the best way to proceed on his case.
¶6 On April 23, 2015, Miller entered a second attorney client agreement and fee agreement with Meier and Privett,2 but did not inform MJ&J until they received a letter from Miller terminating MJ&J as his counsel on May 7, 2015. On May 15, 2015, Gregory Meier also advised MJ&J that he had been retained by Plaintiff to continue his claims against Defendants. On May 19, 2015, MJ&J notified counsel for Magnus, Miller's new counsel, and the insurance claim representative that MJ&J claimed an attorney's lien.

possibility of realizing had she been permitted to continue in the case; (2) the nature and extent of the services she rendered within the scope of the contingent fee contract; and (3) the nature and extent of the services rendered by the second lawyer.
Martin further notes that:
The proportionalization of each attorney's services, of course, is not to be evaluated on an hourly rate basis, but consideration should be given to the nature of the case, and the relative contribution of each attorney to the creation of the contingent fee fund with considerable emphasis on the first attorney's contractual share.
A. The Services Performed by Meier and Privett
¶14 Meier and Privett argue that they performed two services that contributed to "the creation of the contingent fee fund." The first wastaking the deposition of Defendant Magnus. Meier and Privett argue that this was necessary because Miller did not believe his prior counsel's assurance that neither Magnus nor his parents had any worthwhile assets to collect beyond the liability insurance limits, and was reluctant to approve a settlement that would release Magnus. Meier and Privett eventually reached the same conclusion as MJ&J, that Magnus and his parents had no other significant reachable assets. Meier and Privett argue, however, that this deposition had a role in creating the contingent fee fund because Miller would not have accepted the settlement without it. The second act of Meier and Privett was to negotiate down the outstanding medical liens against the settlement, thereby increasing the amount Miller actually received from the settlements.

1999, and June 21, 1999, nine horses that had been trained by Maymó underwent post-race urine tests that came back positive for Clenbuterol — one horse tested positive twice, thus making a total of ten positive tests. By August 17, 1999, then Racing Administrator Juan Alves Rueda ("Alves") had filed ten corresponding charges against Maymó, alleging that Clenbuterol had been administered in violation of the controlled medication program. Alves consolidated the charges (the "Clenbuterol case"), assigned Irba Cruz de Batista ("Cruz"), an independent contractor for the Administration, to act as hearing examiner, and ordered Ricardo Pacheco Pacheco ("Pacheco"), an attorney employed by the Administration, to act as prosecutor. 15 L.P.R.A. § 198k(a)(9).

6
Hearings in the Clenbuterol case were held before Cruz from August to October 2000. In the midstsucceeded Alves as Racing Administrator. Hearings in the Tramadol case were held before Cruz from January to May 2002. On June 10, 2002, Cruz sent a report to Álvarez, concluding that Maymó had violated the controlled medication program by improperly administering Tramadol to the horse in question.

10
On June 21, 2002, the Puerto Rico Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the Racing Board's decision in the Clenbuterol case. However, Álvarez took no immediate action to impose the license suspension and the fine, there being some uncertainty as to whether the court's stay continued in effect until its mandate issued. On June 26, 2002, Álvarez adopted Cruz's findings of fact and conclusions of law in the Tramadol case. Álvarez directed that Maymó's license be suspended for five years to run consecutively


to review the Tramadol decision, saying that review was pointless in light of the ongoing litigation in federal court. On July 14, 2002, Maymó filed a second federal action, similar to the first (except for the addition of Alves as a defendant), to enjoin suspension based on either the Clenbuterol or the Tramadol case; the district court consolidated the two federal cases and issued a second temporary restraining order.

14
From September 30, 2002, to October 4, 2002, the district court conducted a hearing on whether to issue a preliminary injunction barring the Racing Administrator from suspending Maymó's license. On the first day of this hearing, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss, arguing inter alia that the district court should refrain from deciding the consolidated cases based on theracing, the Commonwealth aims to ensure the integrity of the sport and to protect legitimate state interests. The proceedings within the Racing Board to cancel licenses after notice and hearing fit within the category of matters potentially subject to Younger. See Baffert v. Cal. Horse Racing Bd., 332 F.3d 613, 616-21 (9th Cir.2003) (applying Younger).

18
The district court said that Younger abstention did not apply because neither the Clenbuterol nor the Tramadol matters were "ongoing" at the time the principal injunction was granted on November 26, 2002. By that time the state-court proceedings affirming the sanction in the Clenbuterol case were effectively completed with the affirmance of the Racing Board's action; and in the Tramadol case, the Racing Administrator had imposed penalties and had returned Maymó's review petition so


of the variousness of the situations but mostly because other rubrics usually foreclose the collateral attack after the state proceedings have ended, making unnecessary any discussion of Younger.

22
Three such rubrics have special force where, as with the Clenbuterol proceedings, state-court judicial review of an administrative ruling has been undertaken and completed: res judicata, the federal full faith and credit statute, and the Rooker-Feldman doctrine.5 Although nominally independent doctrines, they are variations on the same theme: the first embodies a bedrock respect for prior judgments, subject to exceptions; the second, a statutory compulsion for the first where federal courts confront state judgments; and the third, a broader and blunter version of the other two.

“France does not have oil, but it has wheat”1

June 29, 2015

“Wheat, Geopolitical Challenges and Economic Diplomacy” was the bold topic of the conference hosted in Paris by the IRIS (Institut des Relations Internationales et Stratégiques) and the AGPB (Association Générale des Producteurs de Blé, the French wheat association) on June 18, 2015. Sébastien Abis2––an IRIS researcher associate and board member of the International Center


by the rising power of the Black Sea countries and of emerging nations, such as China, in the international markets during the 2000s. In Europe, France ranks first in wheat exports, with 10 percent of its territory used for wheat crops. With a positive balance of €8.4 billion in 2014––the equivalent of 76 “Rafale” fighter jets––it is the second ranking agro-food post following wines and spirits. Consequently, France is at the heart of these geostrategic challenges.

More globally, we can no longer ignore the weight of agriculture and food security in the international agenda, and this conference is an excellent example. The 2007 and 2008 food crises have also made us aware of the significance of these two key issues for the 21st century. Yet, if wheat and agricultureSydney is in danger of becoming “a throwaway city of junk buildings” built on the cheap to be knocked down every 30 years, a leading architect and City of Sydney councillor has warned.

The implantation process is performed by first inserting the delivery tool, an oversized wire "basket", into the annulus. This wire basket is larger than the annulus in diameter, but flexible enough to conform to the annular dimensions, which allows the user to "find" the annular tissue regardless of the size or shape of the annulus. Once placed in the annulus, the wires provide a series of rails, or delivery paths, over which the ring is delivered. The result is an automatic alignment of the ring and the annulus.

In June 1603, Tassis headed a Spanish-Flemish delegation which visited London to seek an end to the war with England which had begun in 1585. Elizabeth had recently died and her successor James I quickly sought to end the long and draining conflict with Spain which he inherited. Therefore, the Peace Treaty was successfully signed on 28 August 1604.

Tassis died in 1607 and was buried at the Principal Chapel of the Convento de San Agustín, Valladolid. His son, Juan de Tassis y Peralta, 2nd Count of Villamediana, assassinated in 1622, inherited the Villamediana title and the position of head of the Imperial Posts.

First in the world: China completes the world's largest span thrust arch bridgeCredit:
People's Daily

2 August 2019 • 9:30am

The final T-shaped part of the south approach bridge of the Yangtze River Bridge in Zigui, in the central Chinese province of Hubei, was hoisted and installed on 20 July, marking the completion of the world’s largest span steel box-truss thrust arch.

The Zigui Yangtze River Bridge crosses the Bingshubaojian Valley. It is 883.2m (almost 2,898ft) long, with a main span of 531.2m.

As a steel box-truss thrust arch bridge, its span ranks as the first in the world, and its clearance height as the first in Asia.

The construction project started in August 2015, and now the whole line has been completed. It


is scheduled to open to public traffic in October.

Despite a nearly twenty year gap in recordings, they managed to maintain the song quality between records, with the re-recordings of songs from the first record played faster, also included are two unreleased tracks and a set from one of their more recent live performances at DiPiazza's in Long Beach, CA in 2003.

In 1995, Malt Soda produced a mixture, of songs re-released, and previously"unreleased" sections, performed by The Fucked ie: F.U.C.K. U of which later became to be known as: "The Outsiders".

China White grouped these songs, and added some new songs written by guitar hero Frank Ruffino circa 1977-1995. Early Outsiders lyrics were essentially written


by Donny Grose (The Fucked) a.k.a "Outsiders". Initially, the albums intent was to consolidate the guitar work of Frank Ruffino. Most of Frank Ruffino's finest guitar work can be found on this album, and it's musical significance is primarily attributed to Franks talent dating back to 1977.

Can Roger Federer Meet With Those Two Imposters?

If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same…

In Roger Federer’s world, the gap between triumph and disaster has become so exaggerated that he must believe he has a doppelganger.

There seems to be a ghostly double who steps into his shoes at the very instant he has victory within his grasp. It happened in the final set of the Australian Open against Rafael Nadal. It happened again in the semi-finals of Indian Wells against Andy Murray.

Then, in his semi at this week’s Miami Masters, a strangely unfamiliar Federer once again lost a match that, on the evidence of quarter-final performances, he should have taken from Novak Djokovic with relative ease.

At Melbourne, he met disasterwith his usual grace and pragmatism. He wept with emotion—but it seemed natural that he should do so. He wept when he won the title, and he showed his grief in just the same way as he did his joy.

Federer’s loss of form in the closing stages of that magnificent final could be put down to lack of practice during an extended off season caused by his injured back. It could simply be put down to the back itself feeling the strain at the end of an arduous Grand Slam.

At Indian Wells, the pattern was repeated. Back problems, lack of match-play, and tricky negotiations with Darren Cahill could all have played their part in his loss of focus against Andy Murray.

There were moments of brilliance and there were


was the man to beat in Grand Slams, that Nadal was his only challenger on clay, that he was fit, recovered and hungry for victory. But this belief was chipped away as title after title ended in the hands of his rivals.

However, any doubts that his fans, the media and the experts expressed were quickly pushed aside by Federer’s performances at Miami.

He looked fitter, stronger, more confident than he had in months, and dispatched opponents round by round.

Taylor Dent played inspired tennis for a set and a half, charging the net like few other players on the tour. An exquisitely poised Federer analysed, adjusted and applied tactics with the precision of an assassin. He appeared to have no doubts and few weaknesses.

Against Andy Roddick, he expected a toughleapt for joy in beating Roddick. However, there was a tension in the face and a grim set to the mouth that betrayed a different identity.

The serve was a touch slower. It was rarely fired down the centre line—the usual source of aces. The forehand was over-played and misdirected in a parody of Federer’s signature shot. The wind gusted, and his focus gusted with it. The sun blinded his eyes and blurred his tactics. The harder he pushed, the worse he played.

This was not a case of Nadal playing better on the big points, or Murray forcing Federer’s backhand into error. This was Djokovic digging in and waiting for Federer to self-destruct.

This would normally be a fatal error. Federer has always had wayward passages of play amidst the


behind. Had he scheduled more than two events on the russet surface before Roland Garros, his dream may have been more credible.

If flesh-and-blood Federer is to banish his ghostly doppelganger, he must keep those dreams under tighter control. Ambition is a powerful incentive, but unfulfilled ambition can be destructive.

Rein in the emotions. Go back to basics. Play the next point rather than thinking about the final point.

That flesh-and-blood Federer must also treat all those flesh-and-blood imposters the same.

The other top players have all lost matches this year, just as he has—and to lower ranked players. Verdasco, Roddick and del Potro have beaten Murray, Djokovic and Nadal. Federer has, in turn, beaten Verdasco, Roddick and del Potro.

It is a first in the Trump era of American politics. First Lady Melania Trump was the guest speaker at the Baltimore Youth Summit on Opioid Awareness Tuesday and some in the audience booed as she was introduced. The media present covering the event was only too happy to report about that.

Melania Trump spoke as a part of her Be Best initiative. The youth summit at the University of Maryland in Baltimore was not completely hateful to her but enough of them booed as she was introduced that it was noticeable. Many of the participants continued to talk to each other during her speech. Their behavior was described as “raucous”. We’ve never seen this kind of public disrespect for a First Lady but this is 2019 and Presidentbe clear, neither of the outbursts of boos and jeers were greater than the cheers and applause she received. Normal polite behavior is not noteworthy, though, in press reports for anyone in the Trump administration universe. Apparently, the tide is turning for the First Lady.

After thinking about the response to Melania Trump, I reached a conclusion that it is probably to be expected, given the behavior we so often see on college campuses today. If the adults in their lives behave in disruptive ways or encourage the behavior, then it is to be expected that young people mirror that behavior. Remember that nurses and hospital staff members (adults) first protested publicly, outside of the hospital. College professors and public school teachers are often liberal, anti-Trump members of the


said. The summit is sponsored by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and actor Mark Wahlberg’s youth foundation with the goal of helping educate students, teachers and parents about opioid use and misuse.

Whether you are a Trump supporter or not, Melania Trump has performed admirably as First Lady. She has gone about her duties with dignity and respect for those around her. The only time that she caused waves was when she wore the jacket with the writing on the back but that was a popular jacket at the time and the only controversial part was the timing of her wearing it. Her appearance is flawless and though she is a former model, she is ignored by women’s magazines.

aspects of the Force: The Father was the Unifying Force representing the balance, his children were the Living Force which is in conflict between the Dark Side and the Light Side.

Apocalypse made it clear that the Avatars were not manifestations of the Force but were Celestial's that somehow became part of the Force by drinking from the Font Of Power, which is evidently the spot from where the Force emerges into the universe. Um, what?

Plus the whole thing with Abeloth was tacked on in a way that was never even hinted at in the Mortis episodes, total retcon. The idea that it is somehow the will of the Force to create monsters to destroy the Galaxy while creating super heroes to battle them is really stupid and Imakes them conflict even more._________________Spread out all around us is a petrified world, a world of Things, where we ourselves, our gestures, and even our feelings figure in as Things.

it was done because they knew Lucas wanted to go back to Mortis at some point and use it without locking Lucas into a set story (not that it would actually happen). So they went that route to prevent any continuity issues down the line.

But the story of Abeloth's origins is from a million years ago, which means she was already the Mother and all that when Anakin went to Mortis, and thus the roles of the Avatars were what they were designated in Apocalypse... yet they weren't mentioned to Anakin at that time because in reality that wasn't the story at the time, it was created later to change the existing prior storyline.

In The Phantom Menace, for the first time fans see Jedi not as hermits flowing to the lowest possible spots, inhabiting swamps and deserts on Outer Rim worlds, but in the position of power. The Jedi Council is at the center of government and technology in the Old Republic, two things associated with the Empire in the original trilogy. Its members sit atop a literal ivory tower, and from a Taoist viewpoint, it is a precarious place to be.

"Many have had problems with the idea of the Force having a will, both because of the light and the dark sides, as well as the personal nature it implies. Yet the will of the Force could very much be like the way of the Tao - it is the eternal aspect and therefore transcends favor of either side. It simply is. It is the part a Jedi merges with when they become "one" with the Force after death, a return to the undifferentiated source, much like in Taoism. the will of the Force might also be thought of as a Taoistic concept,along a predetermined direction of the neck, and the lateral offset between the stem of the femoral component and the femoral head, establishes the requisite neck length and head offset which, in turn, provides the desired range of motion, leg length, and tension in the soft tissue at the implant site. Accordingly, of utmost importance is the ability to determine the appropriate neck length and head offset with precision, and to do so with ease and assurance.
A determination of the appropriate length required for the neck of a femoral component and the appropriate head offset is conducted once the size of each of the femoral component and the acetubular component is selected, and the implant site is prepared for the reception of each selected component.

Virginia Shooting: The gunman killed seven men and five women (File Photo)

The engineer who shot dead 12 people at a municipal building in a US beach resort city had submitted his resignation hours before the killings, a city official said on Sunday.

DeWayne Craddock, 40, had worked as an engineer for the public works department in Virginia Beach, Virginia for about 15 years before carrying out the Friday rampage at his workplace that also left four people wounded.

According to the Washington-based Gun Violence Archive monitoring group, it was the 150th mass shooting -- with four or more people shot or killed -- in the United States this year.

While authorities haven't detailed a motive for the killing spree, Virginia Beach city manager Dave Hansen confirmed at a press conference thatCraddock had given his superiors two weeks' notice of his resignation the day of the shooting.

"He was not terminated and he was not in the process of being terminated," Hansen said. "To my knowledge, the perpetrator's performance was satisfactory... there were no issues of discipline ongoing."

Hansen said police were looking for the resignation notice.

Firing indiscriminately across three floors of the municipal building, the gunman killed seven men and five women, all but one of whom worked for the government of the coastal city a four-hour drive southeast of Washington.

Craddock was armed with two .45 caliber pistols purchased legally, authorities said, and reloaded several times during the shooting, before police shot him dead during a gunfight.

US gun ownership laws are among the most lax in developed countries, and legislative


Today, President Donald J. Trump announced his intent to nominate the following individual to a key position in his Administration:

Mr. McPherson previously served as the General Counsel of the Department of Defense Counterintelligence Field Activity (CIFA), the senior civilian attorney of the intelligence agency responsible for providing legal advice in areas of operational and policy matters. A retired Rear Admiral, Mr. McPherson’s final assignment was as the 39th Judge Advocate General of the Navy. He first gained military experience as an enlisted member of the United States Army, later being commissioned as an Ensign in the Judge Advocate General’s Corps.

Mr. McPherson is a recipient of the Distinguished Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, and the Meritorious Service Medal. He is a graduate of the Judge Advocate General’s SchoolThe Canadian Association for Equality (CAFE) and one of its spawns in the campus-based Men's Issues Awareness Group movement have arrived at the University of Toronto with a bang; and a seeming campaign of overt intimidation against those who oppose them.

CAFE, as I have previously written about at some length, is the front group that presents the public and ostensibly less extreme face of the Men's Rights Movement (also known as the Men's Rights Advocacy or MRA) in Canada. As I noted in the article they have made on-campus recruitment a major thrust of their overall strategy.

In furtherance of this aim, they have set up a number of campus clubs including one at the University of Toronto. The Men's Issues Awareness group held a public event on campus


that featured Warren Farrell on November 16, 2012.

Farell is a men's rights apologist who touts his former "feminist" credentials to act as the intellectual spokesperson of the MRA. He is the point person they trot out to to make Charles Murray, bell curve-style arguments that obviously distort and misuse statistics, anecdotal evidence and historical record in defence of what are transparently specious and ahistorical notions that patriarchy is a myth not only now, but even in the past.

This event was protested by a group of University of Toronto activists and feminists who objected to Farrell's and the MRA's presence on campus. This resulted in the campus police and the Toronto police ultimately breaking up the protest, as protesters attempted to block access to the event. This protest, whichhas not lead to any actual charges, has lead to accusations of police brutality. It has also led, in part, to a statement by the Provost of U of T stating, rather disingenuously, that "the disruption of this event by protesters was a threat to free speech." While obviously, one might note, disrupting events and civil disobedience are also a fundamental part of free speech and of the historic fight against injustice, a fact the administrations of universities seem to regularly disregard, it should additionally be noted that this is a statement issued by a university administration whose alleged devotion to "free speech" was so great that, during the G20 protests they hired a private investigator whose reports of "people outside of the GSU building wearing “Black Bloc

In addition they have added some of the activist's names to the reprehensibly misogynist website, register-her.com. This is a website supposedly devoted to "exposing" alleged female rapists and women who have allegedly laid charges of rape which turned out to be false. The minuscule number of alleged women offenders actually listed on the site simply reconfirms that neither of these notions are a significant social issue. In fact, 97% of sex offenders are male, and a similar site devoted to listing the names of North American men who had either committed rape or had falsely stated that a woman was lying about rape would include millions of names and be inconceivably larger in scope.

Smithsonian Media is comprised of its flagship publication, Smithsonian magazine, Air & Space magazine, Smithsonian Books, and the Smithsonian Media Digital Network. In addition, Smithsonian Media oversees the Smithsonian Institution’s interest in the Smithsonian Channel, a joint venture between the Smithsonian Institution and CBS/Showtime. Smithsonian Media is a division of Smithsonian Enterprises, the revenue-generating business unit of the Smithsonian Institution. The Smithsonian Institution is the world's largest museum and research complex consisting of 20 museums and galleries, the National Zoological Park, and nine research facilities. Approximately 30 million people from around the world visit the museums annually (smithsonian.com; si.edu)are not aware of the
government's routine monitoring of Internet communication traffic,
particularly e-mail traffic. This ignorance is dangerous for a society
that has become almost wholly dependent on electronic mediums of
communication.

The NSA's surveillance of Internet communication began at the early
stages of the Internet's development when it was still populated only
by government employees, university researchers, and government
contractors. Many people involved with the early Internet (known then
as ARPANet) were aware of this surveillance. In fact, Richard Stallman,
an MIT computer scientist who was then involved with the ARPANet (and
later would found the Free Software Foundation), added an optional
feature to a text editor/e-mail client that he had created called
EMACS; the purpose of this feature was to undermine the NSA's
surveillance efforts. The optional feature added randomly selected
keywords at the end of an e-mail message composed


in EMACS; these
keywords (i.e. revolution, terrorist, etc.) he believed would trigger
interception by the NSA computers and, hopefully, if enough people made
use of this feature, clog the NSA's computers with irrelevant e-mail.

In former New Zealand intelligence agent Nicky Hager's book Secret
Power, one discovers that the NSA's surveillance capabilities are not
hindered by political borders. Under the code-name ECHELON, and with
the help of the British, Australian, New Zealand and Canadian
Governments, the NSA has established a global communication
surveillance network that is capable of monitoring most of the world's
electronic communication.

The ECHELON system was created by the NSA as a means to interconnect

Viewed in the light most favorable to Gilbert, we hold that this evidence raises a fact issue about whether GM and Jerry’s Chevrolet engagedup on its own while vehicle in use, transmission slipping, and incorrect tire alignment.”  Furthermore, after the truck had been driven only about 26,000 miles, the engine had to be replaced.

Gilbert’s affidavit also states that from April through September 2002, he repeatedly took the truck in for service, yet none of the problems were corrected.  Consequently, he suffered damages because, among other things, he kept the vehicle and continued to make payments toward the balance owed on the note and he took time off work and lost wages in order to deal with the problems with the truck.  Moreover, Gilbert’s affidavit states that he believed the vehicle was unsafe.

A prisoner who escaped from a court room in Georgia's Rustavi city about a month ago has been rearrested at his own wedding celebration.

Police detained Otar Varamashvili, 35, when he was celebrating his marriage at a restaurant in Rustavi, 25km southeast of capital Tbilisi.

He was picked up by law enforcers on October 16 - 47 days after he escaped from prison.

Varamashvili managed to escape after he made a fake hand grenade, which he made of bread while in prison. He escaped while being transported to Rustavi City Court on August 31.

Varamashvili later said he pretended he was feeling unwell so that guards would relax and not pay much attention to him. He then threw his fake 'bread' hand grenade in the direction of guards and ran. Guards didnot aware he got married after escaping from jail.

After his escape Georgia’s Ministry of Corrections released Varamishvili’s photo, warning the public he was dangerous.

Varamishvili was in prison for multiple theft and robbery charges. This was his sixth conviction.

Varamishvili was first arrested when he was 16. He has spent 20 years of his life in prison.

He first attempted to escape from prison in 1998 but he failed.

Before the August breakout he had six years left to serve. According to Georgian legislation, a sentence for a prison-break is four years, meaning Varamishvili will now have to spend 10 years behind bars.

Month: June 2014

AC Milan midfielder Ricardo Montolivo has rejected suggestions that the players have tried to make Filippo Inzaghi is their next manager. It is widely expected that the current Milan youth team coach will become the next manager. Clarence Seedorf is widely expected to receive the sack after falling out with the club officials in recent weeks. The Dutchman was appointed as the replacement for Massimiliano Allegri only a few months ago. However, results on the pitch failed to improve and his poor relationship with the owners is also set to cost him his job.

Inzaghi, who has been the club’s youth team coach, has been groomed into becoming the next Milan manager for several years. Now, his time has come to take over at the club, butMontolivo has dismissed suggestions that the players played a crucial role in the expected appointment. He says that the players just talk with Inzaghi as a former teammate and nothing more. The midfielder, who has recently been ruled out of the World Cup 2014 due to an injury, also stated that he expects Milan striker Mario Balotelli to become the most important player at the World Cup.

Montolivo suffered an injury during the draw with Republic of Ireland in a warmup match.

was the first defeat that they suffered in the last four matches. Milan returned to winning ways after a 1-0 win at the San Siro.

Nigel de Jong scored the only goal of the game, as Milan continued to climb up the table. They are now eighth in the Italian Serie A table with two matches remaining. Seedorf was given the ultimate of getting Milan into the Europa League at all costs. Since the club will be without Champions League the season, they had made it a priority to at least get into the Europa league so as to maintain the prestige of the club. It looks like Milan will be able to achieve this with results going their way in the last few weeks.

News of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's surgery to remove cancerous growths from her lung rattled Washington as the city prepared for the holidays this week. Why do her health concerns send Americans into a tizzy?

On Friday, the high court announced that Justice Ginsburg underwent surgery after malignant nodules were discovered during a hospital visit earlier this year after she suffered fractured ribs in a fall. The reaction from the liberal corners of social media was an instantaneous mixture of well-wishes and barely-suppressed horror.

"All I want for Christmas is a healthy RBG," wrote film director Jennifer Siebel Newsom.

Others were grateful that doctors discovered the cancerous growths in November, when Justice Ginsburg took a spill in her chambers at the US Supreme Court and


fractured three ribs.

"If RBG didn't fall and break her ribs they may never have found these cancerous nodules in her lungs," another Twitter user wrote. "Sometimes even bad things work out for the best."

After her fall last month, late night television host Jimmy Kimmel introduced the "Ruth Bader Gins-bubble" on his programme, saying the 85 year old needed to be "protected at all costs" as a Ginsburg stand-in rolled on stage encased in a gigantic plastic bubble.

Anxiety surrounding the health of the oldest sitting justice is a constant in liberal America. If she were to retire or become too ill to serve, President Donald Trump would be able to cement the court's conservative majority with the appointment of his third justice, after Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh.

Beyond that,for her diminutive stature, serious demeanour and long pauses - she is said to have no tolerance for small talk - how did Ms Ginsburg go from celebrated legal scholar to full-blown celebrity?

A pay cut for being pregnant

Joan Ruth Bader was born in the Flatbush neighbourhood of Brooklyn, New York, in 1933, the daughter of Jewish immigrants. At the age of 17, she lost her mother to cancer.

After graduating from Cornell University in 1954, she married Marty Ginsburg and not long after the couple had their first child. While Ms Ginsburg was pregnant, she was demoted at her job at a social security office - discrimination against pregnant women was still legal in the 1950s. The experience led her to conceal her second pregnancy years later.

Image caption Ginsburg in 1977

In 1956, she became one of nine women to enrol at Harvard Law School, where the dean famously compelled his female students to tell him how they could justify taking the spot of a man in his school. She later transferred to Columbia Law School in New York, and became the first woman to work at both schools' law reviews.

Despite that, Ms Ginsburg struggled to find work, even though she'd been at the top of her class.

"Not a law firm in the entire city of New York would employ me," she once said. "I struck out on three grounds: I was Jewish, a woman and a mother."

Playing 'kindergarten teacher' to male justices

She became a professor at Rutgers Law School in 1963, where she taughtsome of the first women and law classes, and co-founded the Women's Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). In 1973, she became the ACLU's general counsel, which kicked off a prolific era of arguing gender discrimination cases, six of which brought her before the US Supreme Court.

She argued on behalf of a female Air Force lieutenant who was denied a housing benefit for her husband that her male colleagues received for their wives. She also took men's cases. In 1975, she argued the case of a young widower who was denied benefits after his wife died in childbirth.

"His case was a the perfect example of how gender-based discrimination hurts everyone," Ms Ginsburg said years later at her confirmation hearing.

She won five out of the six


cases she argued before the Supreme Court, a time when she says she felt she had to explain gender discrimination to the all-male justices like "a kindergarten teacher".

It was also during this time that she argued on behalf of a female Air Force captain who'd become pregnant and was being told to abort the baby or lose her job. Ms Ginsburg hoped that the case would make reproductive autonomy a constitutionally protected right, but instead the Air Force changed its policy and the case was dismissed.

The next year, Roe v Wade decided the question of abortion, and Ms Ginsburg fretted that since the decision hinged on right to privacy instead of equal protection, it was open to legal attack.

"The court ventured too far in the change it orderedand presented an incomplete justification for its action," she said in a 1984 lecture.

Second woman on the Supreme Court

In 1980, as a part of President Jimmy Carter's efforts to diversify the nation's federal courts, Ms Ginsburg was nominated to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. She gained a reputation as a centrist, voting with conservatives many times and against, for example, hearing the discrimination case of a sailor who said he'd been discharged from the Navy for being gay.

President Bill Clinton nominated her to the Supreme Court in 1993, after a protracted search process in which some feminist groups, according to the New Yorker, spoke privately


against her over her past remarks on Roe. But Mr Clinton eventually made up his mind, making Ms Ginsburg the second woman ever nominated to the US Supreme Court.

"It was her interview that did it," Mr Clinton says in the 2018 documentary RBG. "Literally within 15 minutes, I decided I was gonna name her."

During her confirmation hearing, Ms Ginsburg proclaimed staunch pro-choice views.

"It is essential to woman's equality with man that she be the decision-maker," she said in the hearing before Congress. "If you impose restraints that impede her choice, you are disadvantaging her because of her sex."

The fiery dissenter

One of her most important, early cases on the Supreme Court was United States v Virginia, which struck down the men-only admission policy at Virginia Military Institute. Writing forthe majority, Justice Ginsburg said that no law or policy should deny women "full citizenship stature - equal opportunity to aspire, achieve, participate in and contribute to society based on their individual talents and capacities".

"It really was the last step in her own trajectory as a lawyer in trying to get the Supreme Court to recognise that gender classifications are a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment," says Paul Schiff Berman, professor of law at George Washington University and one of Ms Ginsburg's law clerks in the late 1990s.

Over the decades, as the court has become more conservative, Justice Ginsburg has increasingly moved to the left, and is now famous for her fiery dissents.

In the case of Shelby County v Holder,


became so popular that Ms Knizhnik and her co-author Ms Carmon turned the blog into a book of the same name, which became a bestseller.

Notorious RBG helped propel Justice Ginsburg into pop culture stardom. Actress Kate McKinnon began playing Ginsburg on Saturday Night Live. The justice herself is said to distribute T-shirts with her own likeness on them.

"I think that it's actually something that Justice Ginsburg has really enjoyed in these last few years," says Mr Berman, her former clerk. "For her to feel as if her legacy can inspire a new generation of young women in particular, I think, is very exciting to her."

As a part of her new pop culture relevance, all aspects of Justice Ginsburg's life have become the subject of internet fascination - herworkout routine, for example, has been attempted by comedian Stephen Colbert. She's been lauded as a fashion icon, from her penchant for lace gloves to her elaborate jabots, the collars she wears over her robes. Her famous "dissent collar" has been reproduced in miniature for necklaces.

Her marriage to Marty Ginsburg - who died in 2010 - is central to the new biopic, On the Basis of Sex. During the course of their 56-year marriage, he became his wife's greatest advocate, happy to play second fiddle to his famous partner.

"Meeting Marty was by far the most fortunate thing that ever happened to me," Justice Ginsburg says in the documentary RBG.

She is a famously stoic woman, but she adores the opera,


a passion she shared with the late conservative Justice Antonin Scalia who, despite being her ideological opposite, was a close friend in the years before his death in 2016.

"I get totally carried away," she says of opera in the documentary. "It's like an electric current going through me."

But the justice is not immune from criticism - or from error. During the 2016 election, she called then-candidate Donald Trump a "faker" and said she could not imagine a world with him as president.

"He says whatever comes into his head at the moment. He really has an ego," she told CNN.

Afterwards she was criticised by both the right and left, who said her comments could undermine her impartiality and the authority of the court. She ultimately apologised.

Grey's Battalion

Grey's Division of Light Infantry is a combined force comprised of the light companies of the , 4th Regiment of Foot, 20th Regiment of Foot, 29th Regiment of Foot, the 64th Regiment of Foot and the Dismounted Company of 16th "Queen's" Light Dragoons.
These five companies field together under one command at RW events and provide the British army with a light infantry battalion which uses a common drill manual and common sense of purpose to bring a larger body of light infantry against the enemy that would be otherwise achieved by five diverse and disparate units.
Over the past few years this division has honed its' skills and ability to maneuver to bring to the battlefield an impression of a light infantry division that can advance before theA new plan to undertake the largest infrastructure project in world history would build a 1,945-mile “energy park” that would pay for itself, deploy sophisticated security to the sometimes dangerous area and turn a largely deserted area into an economic engine.

The plan just released would also build on the cooperative relations between Washington and Mexico City to have both countries build the energy wall.

“Just like the transcontinental railroad transformed the United States in the 19th century, or the Interstate system transformed the 20th century, this would be a national infrastructure project for the 21st century,” said Luciano Castillo, Purdue University's Kenninger Professor of Renewable Energy and Power Systems.

He heads the effort authored by 28 engineers and scientists, several of whom are members of the National Academy of Engineering.


President Trump who in private meetings has talked up such a plan and its potential for " beautiful structures."

In the plan is a blueprint of the energy wall that includes areas where solar, wind and other projects would be installed.

"At first blush the idea seems too big, too aggressive, but consider the Roman aqueducts or the transcontinental railroads — enormous undertakings that gave enormous benefits. The cost of providing basic, essential infrastructure to the border lands is tiny compared to the opportunities it creates," said Ronald Adrian, Regents' professor at Arizona State University and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.

"I view this project as a means of creating wealth by turning unused land of little value along the border into valuable land that has power, waterAnjem Choudary, Britain’s loudest Islamist extremist, has finally been remanded in custody, charged under section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000. The charge is related to him sending messages to his 32,000 followers on Facebook, allegedly encouraging people to join Isis. His guilt or innocence is a matter for the courts. What concerns me here is his trajectory.

I first met Anjem in 1994, when I was 17 years old. We were both students of the Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT), which was led in the UK back then by the Syrian firebrand cleric Omar Bakri Muhammad. HT is responsible for first popularising the notion of resurrecting a theocratic caliphate in Muslim-majority countries.

Sarah Shapiro took one of the cats to DoveLewis Emergency Animal Hospital after picking up the cat, named Grand Theft Auto, and realizing her hands were covered in blood.

Grand Theft Auto remains in the hospital with serious abdominal wounds, hospital officials said. Shapiro brought in her other cat, Alibi, for examination and found the cat had also been hurt. Both cats required surgery.

The wounds, which DoveLewis veterinarian Jessica Casey described as "very unusual" looked to be the result of penetration with something long and sharp, like a knife.

"The severity of their wounds was not clear from the outside, but once we performed surgery we were concerned that they appeared to


About

Spurdo Spärde is a poorly drawn character based on the sprite image of Pedobear. It was originally conceived in the Finnish imageboard Kuvalauta to mock the newcomers who often flooded the site with hackneyed reposts, one of the main materials being images of Pedobear. The character is coarsely drawn on purpose and accompanied by captions that are misspelled and stylized in all cap.

Origin

The meme was born in late 2008 when an administrator of the Finnish gaming forum Jonneweb[7] posted several links redirecting to the Finnish imageboard Kuvalauta. Due to Jonneweb’s reputation as an online hub for (pre)teenagers, some members of Kuvalauta became concerned that the imageboard would be overrun with unoriginal content by an influx of newcomers, a phenomenon commonly known as “newfaggotry” on the English-speaking web. Theabout ten yards, the cordon is perilously close to Dar, who has made his pick from the bats offered to him.

The crowd around him isn't a new phenomenon. "Politicians would come here as dignitaries during local tournaments and feel left out," says Dar's uncle, Ghulam Rasool Wani. "Everyone was only interested in Manzoor. Over time, they learnt that the best way to draw people in was to invite Manzoor to sit down with them."

Over the next 15 minutes, balls fizz past faces as Dar toils hard to suppress his power. His square cuts are subdued but still lethal. He isn't accustomed to the tickle behind square and gets a leading edge into the slips every time he tries. When he tries to go long in frustration, he nearly


ever be picked for the IPL, is also the only man from the district of Bandipora to play any sport as a professional. This is a particularly big feat for someone from Sumbal, a village hidden 20km north-west of the state capital, Srinagar, which houses the only turf pitch in the state. And while there is no shortage of grounds, getting anything that resembles proper cricket facilities requires you to either have your own car, or to couple a one-hour hike to the highway with significant hand-waving and oodles of gratitude to the lorry driver who agrees to take you into the city.

For a long time, that last was a part of Dar's daily routine. The major part of his schedule involved loading sand into tractors, or carvingfamily, and you can't help but wonder if the rigours of daily labour inadvertently made him the T20 basher that he is. He thinks that might well be the case - only a few years ago did he start thinking about his body as something that needed maintaining. He began running eight kilometres at the bada ground, and followed that up with sprints. None of the ten people in his house come close to having the same body structure. His youngest brother, a wiry 12-year-old, who to everyone's amusement idolises Shane Watson the bowler, is the only other cricketer in the family.

Where many cricketers had binaries - cricket or academics, cricket or work, football or cricket - Dar simply did it all. It was necessary, he says, to


keep his siblings educated. One of his sisters is a university topper.

"Paise aayenge, padhai nahi aayegi." [Money will come down the line, education won't]

That is the prevailing ethos in Dar's part of the village, a poverty-ridden Shia-majority area. While one route into Sumbal is a deserted passage that used to be flanked by an Indian army base, the other cuts through a relatively affluent neighbourhood with apple orchards and tar roads, where closed shutters bear spray-painted slogans exalting Burhan Wani, the slain commander of the militant separatist group Hizbul Mujahideen. Caught in the middle, and without electricity or running water till recently, the community simply doesn't have reason to put its eggs anywhere but in education.

The characteristic Kashmiri guardedness and tension in the company of strangers is verymuch on view in Sumbal. And even to the outsider, they are afraid to talk about certain things on the record.

"Last year when Pakistan won the Champions Trophy, people from outside the Shia areas of the village celebrated in front of our houses with crackers. It's more acceptable to show your Iranian connections here than it is to fly an Indian flag," one of them tells me on the condition of anonymity.

In some sense, the villagers, regardless of sect, think of Dar as their way out. To them their beloved Pandav - so named after the heroic protagonists from the Hindu epic Mahabharata for singlehandedly taking out four opponents during a


kabbadi raid as a teenager - is already a winner. In the battle for roads, roofs, and electricity, Dar is their first step towards recognition. He has already drawn investments from the state government for repairs to grounds. When he returns from the IPL, Dar says he will personally present an infrastructure plan to the local leader.

Sunlight filters through the translucent plastic sheets that serve as windows in the Dar living room, falling on the cakes we have been served. His "cousin and best friend" Zulfikar Ali Dar, an officer in the Jammu & Kashmir Police, holds a cup of namkeen chai [salty tea] as he recalls the day of the auction.

"I was on duty that day and we were watching on our mobiles. Lots of players weren'tgetting picked. Guys like Chris Gayle didn't get picked [at first]. Even Irfan Pathan. Quite a few big players were unsold. So we thought he wouldn't get picked either. But when our prayers worked, we didn't go back to work!"

"The passion here has grown. No one's going to stop their child from playing anymore" Varun Shetty / © ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Dar's uncle had fallen asleep in disappointment during the auction and been woken up when neighbours thronged to the Dar household after he was picked up for 20 lakh rupees (US$30,700 approximately) by Kings XI Punjab.

The fanfare was grand. Crackers, song and dance, and days and days of daawats ensued even before Dar had returned home. When he did, his mother's doctor told him her heart condition was "70%


of "Kashmir ki jaan! Kashmir ki shaan!" in Sumbal - there was also attention from other parts of the country. Some of the more nationalistic channels brought out the old, predictable rhetoric: that, being from Kashmir, Dar must have dutifully chosen bats over grenades. It is an inescapable predicament for anyone from a region of conflict - as Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Dar's 17-year-old Afghan team-mate at Kings XI Punjab, might soon discover.

One of the many jobs Dar juggled to support his family was working at the local wood shop Varun Shetty / © ESPNcricinfo Ltd

Dar, 24, doesn't have remarkable numbers. Over two domestic seasons he has played seven List A games and nine T20s, with a highest score of 38 not out across both formats. In his onlyprice, I'm not thinking about that. I just want to focus on playing cricket now because I've gone through a lot since I was young."

In April 2009, Dar, aged 15, faced his first big problem after making it to club cricket. Before he found out that bowlers in club cricket could swing or turn the ball at will, he realised that at the Sher-I-Kashmir Stadium in Srinagar, he could barely keep his feet rooted to the pitch.

"It was strange when I saw the turf because I was used to playing either on the mat or on [untended] grass. There, when I took my batting stance, I found the bat slipping on the


turf. I had no idea what professional cricket was or how it's played. I had neither cricket whites nor shoes or a kit. I was from this village and no one even knew what Ranji cricket was. We knew international cricket but what was below - we had no idea."

But it was a memorable day, and he recalls the details. He made a 23-ball 72 for Budgam District, hitting eight sixes against Srinagar Gymkhana and their many Ranji players - whom he didn't know at the time - to make it into the Greater Kashmir's sports page the next day.

The following year, the veteran Kashmiri seamer Samiullah Beigh gifted him Gunn & Moore cricket shoes. They were his first pair and he used them for five years. HeIt is the first time I've witnessed a media-trained fan base.

In Srinagar, Manzoor's cousin works at Hotel Sunshine, bang opposite the Dal Lake, and has got him a room there. The one high-end gym in Srinagar is the only place where he can carry out pre-season instructions from Kings XI Punjab's physio.

For the first time in his life, Dar has a focused fitness regime. His grin is wide when he tells me that the franchise T-shirt he has been wearing is an XL that didn't fit him 20 days ago. He typically performs two workouts a day, something trainers usually frown upon; but he says they have figured a way around in this case.

For all that has changed in his life, Dar is still powerless in this situation. He sends word from the authorities upstairs to allow me in, but there's no budging. "You're from the media, you understand how vulnerabilities work," a suited security manager with a thick moustache tells me.

The song was "Bustin' Surfboards", released on Aertaun Records in 1962, and it has since become a classic and mainstay of the surf genre. One of its distinctions, and appeals, was that the song opened with the sound of an ocean swell (that continued throughout the song), thereby creating a sense of being at a beach. The album with the same name was released in 1963. The band, however, di...

Ohio State students visit the crime scene outside Watts Hall where 11 were injured after a student drove his car into a crowd and attacked people with a knife.

(David Petkiewicz, cleveland.com)

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio State University's assistant director of residence life is facing calls for her dismissal after asking for compassion for Abdul Razak Ali Artan, who was killed after injuring 11 people in a car and knife attack Monday.

Artan was shot by an Ohio State police officer after he drove into a group of faculty and students outside Watts Hall, got out of the car and stabbed several with a butcher knife.

The Somali-born student may have been inspired by the Islamic State group and a former al-Qaeda leader, FBI officials said Wednesday.

Stephanie Clemons Thompson posted a messagenewspaper The Lantern. "She is implying, if not outright saying, that the death of someone committing an act of terror aimed at students under her watch was wrong. She has no place at a University where she is an a position of trust and responsibility."

Others were also upset she referenced Black Lives Matter.

"Bringing the group #BlackLivesMatter into her post as a defense to these heinous acts only further promotes the violent and racially divided rhetoric being flooded by our media," says a petition on change.org calling for her resignation. "That racial divide goes against the morals and principals OSU stands for. Her actions, as an employee, reflect on the university."

The petition, posted Wednesday, has more than 1,200 signatures.

OSU spokesman Ben Johnson told The Lantern that Thompson's post does


EXCLUSIVE: Another movie just got fast tracked at STX Entertainment which has been ramping up its slate in record time. Jackie Chan is in final negotiations to star in the action thriller The Foreigner with a short list of directors circling which is said to include Nick Cassavetes. The casting is perfect for a company that is being financed and in business with Chinese on a slate of films; Chan is one of the most beloved action stars to come out of China.

The Foreigner, which is expected before the cameras in October, is based on the book The Chinaman by Stephen Leather about a humble restaurant owner in London’s Chinatown who is forced to push his moral and physical boundaries to track down the group of rogue Irishterrorists responsible for the death of his beloved daughter after the justice system fails him. The book was adapted by David Marconi (Enemy of the State, Mission Impossible 2).

STX has clearly implemented a “respect the capital” mantra, putting together modestly budgeted films with A-list talent. We expect Huayi Brothers Media Corp to be involved in The Foreigner. The Chinese concern pacted earlier this year with STX in a three-year deal that begins in 2016 for 12 to 15 projects per year.

Berkeley has become a flashpoint for free speech debate and the site of multiple protests since the election that have at times become increasingly violent, pitting far-right fascist groups and supporters of President Donald Trump and anti-fascist groups and local liberal activists.

Back in February, Berkeley said they were forced to cancel a speech by controversial former Breitbart editor Milo Yiannopoulos after protests turned violent, with some agitators even setting some fires.

Even some on the left called for Berkeley to accommodate Coulter's speech, including the American Civil Liberties Union and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

Polar Explorers

Kristian Prestrud (1881-1927)

Prestrud was a naval officer and first mate on Roald Amundsen’s expedition with the Fram to Antarctica 1910-12. He was a member of the wintering party on land and he led the three-man expedition to King Edward VII Land.

Kristian Prestrud was born on 22 October 1881 in Hveberg in the county of Hedmark. He was baptized in Grue church in January 1882. His father, Christen Christiansen Prestrud, was a farmer at Hårstad Østre farm (bought in March 1883) and was also manager at Løiten's distillery.

Krsitian Prestrud went to school in Hamar before leaving for the sea at 15 years of age on the Bark Rolf. After two years on sailing ships he started at the Naval Academy in Horten. He became second lieutenant in 1902and first lieutenant in 1905. After leaving the Academy he sailed for a couple of years in the merchant fleet.

When Roald Amundsen in early spring 1909 asked captain Sem-Jacobsen to construct a kite or similar that he could use to be lifted up from a ship to gain a better view over the ice, Prestrud was one of the test fliers. The man-lifting kite was constructed with six-seven kites in a row. Underneath there was a chair where the observer could direct the elevation with the help of lines. The kites could lift c. 250 kilo. Sem-Jacobsen and Prestrud were lifted several times up to a couple of hundred metres height, while the kites themselves were as high as 600 metres. The Fram’s captain, ltn. Engelstad, was killed


in the attempts when lightening hit one of the kites. Prestrud was asked to be first mate on Amundsen’s expedition with the Fram (which was supposed to go north), and before departure he participated on Bjørn Helland-Hansen’s course in oceanography in Bergen together with Hjalmar Fredrik Gjertsen and Adolf Schröer.

Prestrud was in the eight-man group which made the ﬁrst start towards the South Pole early in September 1911. The temperature was then still far too low, and the group got into difﬁculties. The retreat to the base Framheim was a shambles and Prestrud almost lost his life in the extreme conditions. He was saved by Hjalmar Johansen, Fridtjof Nansen’s companion on the North Pole attempt in 1895. Johansen’s criticism of Amundsen’s dispositions during this failed start sent himinto disgrace, and both he and Prestrud were left out of the group that ﬁnally conquered the South Pole in December 1911.

Johansen and Jørgen Stubberud were instead sent, under Prestrud’s command, eastwards to survey King Edward VII Land for two months.

After the South Pole expedition Prestrud started at the district command in Kristiansand before he was on the armoured ship Norge 1913-14. In 1914-15 he served on the torpedo ship Delfin in Skudenes. Prestrud was appointed captain in 1915 and during the summer he served at the Admiralty in Kristiania (Oslo). In 1915-16 he served on the torpedo ship Sild in Kristiansund and in 1916-17 on the torpedo ship Skarv in Farsund. Later in 1917 he served on the torpedo ship Ravn in Kristiansand, before he in 1918


was transferred to the torpedo ship Viking in Haugesund. In 1919 he was on the armoured ship Tordenskjold.

During the period 1919-21 Prestrud was at the 3rd district command Marviken in Kristiansand. He then became aide to King Haakon VII until 1923. He was with the King on state visits to Belgium and the Netherlands. From 1923 to 1927 Prestrud was naval attaché at the legations in London and Paris. He was appointed harbour master in Kristiansand in 1927.

Prestrud married Randi Usterud from Kristiansand on 22 May 1915, with Thorvald Nilsen as his best man. They had a son Kaare (1916) and daughter Kirsti (1919). Kristian Prestrud died on 11 November 1927.

A Vanguard High School senior was arrested Thursday and charged with Armed Robbery.

Clarence Sylvester Cobarris, 18, was arrested by an Ocala Police Department detective, at 605 Northeast 27th Street, Ocala, at 1:41 a.m.

Police say they responded to the Kangaroo Gas Station, located at 909 Northeast 28th Street, after a store clerk called 911 and reported the robbery.

The store clerk told police that a black man wearing a black and gray hooded sweatshirt and an orange mask entered the store with a silver handgun and backpack.

The clerk said the man placed the backpack on the counter, pointed the gun at her, and told her to “put the money in the bag”. The clerk put $35.99 in the bag, along with a GPS tracking device.

Cobarris then fled thestore.

Investigators tracked the GPS to the area of Northeast 27th Street and Northeast 6th Avenue. There, an OPD officer saw Cobarris standing near a garbage can on the north side of the road.

Cobarris saw the officer and attempted to walk toward an occupied vehicle, which was waiting with the passenger door open.

The officer then moved in on the four suspects and ordered them all on the ground.

During a “pat-down”, Cobarris was found to be in possession of the handgun used during the robbery. Additionally, Cobarris was in possession of the GPS device and some of the money that had been stolen.

Detectives said they also found clothing in the trash can where Cobarris had been standing. The clothing matched the description of the clothing warn by the robbery suspect.
