The age-old problem with birthdays and other occasions involving cakes with candles atop is one of sanitation relating to the task of blowing out the candles. When the celebrant blows out the candles, the liquid wash which emanates from his or her mouth descends upon the cake possibly infecting it with a deluge of germs, fluids, and perhaps other debris. The tradition of substituting multiple cupcakes for the cake at such celebrations is becoming more popular. They are often grouped in a cluster with one candle on each cupcake wherein the celebrant proceeds to blow out the candles with similar unsanitary exposure.
This sanitary problem with candle-blowing atop cakes has been explored by several patents in the prior art. Carlson, with his birthday cake cover with base, of U.S.Two More Games Added To The List Of Xbox One Backwards Compatible Games

One of the Xbox One features that unequivocally outmatches and out-values the PlayStation 4 on all fronts is the backwards compatibility mode. The feature has been praised up and down the isle by gamers across all platforms, and Microsoft has just added a couple of more games to the ever-growing list.

Gamespot is reporting that both Dark Souls and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 have just joined the Xbox One's now 140-game strong backwards compatibility list.

***To the Editor:***

We read with delight and great interest the letter in your June 2009 issue from Dr. Martha Brown Menard regarding the need for building research capacity, aligning with academic educational institutions, and providing an option for massage practitioners "who wish to be considered health care practitioners" to graduate with a baccalaureate degree.

In preparation for massage practice in tomorrow's workplace, baccalaureate-degree-based education for massage practitioners was implemented at Southern Institute of Technology in New Zealand in 2002. A second bachelor's program has since been established in this country. The Southern Institute of Technology in Invercargill is a tertiary-degree-granting polytechnic (similar to a vocational or junior college in the United States). The developers and implementers of the Bachelor of Therapeutic and Sports Massage (BTSM) believed that higher academicand abilities, and a clinical education program encompassing more than 500 hours. Academic staff recognize massage students' commitment to a three-year full-time course of study, their passion for massage, their caring attitude toward people, their blend of intellectual inquiry with hands-on skills, and their highly reflective professional approach.

Exposure to the research process has also benefitted faculty, students, and the wider New Zealand massage profession. Small-scale research projects have allowed students to build research literacy and capacity, with some Year 3 (final year) student projects being of a publishable standard. Faculty have up-skilled in areas of research, are research active, and follow a research-informed approach to their teaching. The results of this research are shared with the New Zealand massage profession via conference presentations, workshops, and the New Zealand


Harvey: Our Very Own Giant Rabbit

Back in 1950, a popular film titled “Harvey” hit the theaters. Jimmy Stewart starred as a wealthy alcoholic man who starts having visions of a giant rabbit named Harvey. Stewart, named Elwood P. Dowd, lives with his sister Veta and her daughter. Needless to say, Veta worries that Elwood has gone insane. In the process of trying to have him committed, Veta admits that she occasionally sees Harvey, herself. Even the therapist assigned to help Elwood begins to have his own unwanted relationship with Harvey.

Skipping over a lot of the story line, Life in the Boomer Lane will get to the punchline: Harvey isn’t imagined at all. He is a Pooka, a mischievous spirit in animal form, invisible to most, who has beenname Edwin Lionel Flynn (E.L.F.).

question, irritating Washington.

Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi's office called the tweet "inappropriate" and unbecoming of a diplomatic mission while the State Department said the unusual affair was the result of "glitches" in the embassy's social media policies that are now being corrected.

The imbroglio over the tweet comes at a time of rising tensions between Cairo and Washington, which has expressed deep concerns that Morsi's government is backsliding on human rights protections.

And, it underscores the pitfalls of allowing individual American embassies to control the messages they disseminate through social media.

The trouble began Tuesday when the embassy posted a link to Stewart's monologue on his Comedy Central show the night before. Stewart took savage aim at Morsi for the arrest and interrogation of Egyptian comic Bassam Youssef, who has frequently criticizedthe president on a popular TV program that has been likened to Stewart's own.

In the clip, Stewart accused Morsi of being petty, undemocratic and ignoring more pressing problems like Egypt's economic crisis and violent crime to go after satirists who are critical of his government. He pointed out that he has made a living by poking fun at political leaders and that such activity is harmless and should be protected.

Morsi's office responded to the embassy's post on its own Twitter feed, saying: "It's inappropriate for a diplomatic mission to engage in such negative political propaganda."

The embassy responded on Wednesday by deleting its entire Twitter account, drawing the wrath of State Department headquarters in Washington, which was already peeved by the initial post. The account was then restored minus


the Stewart tweet.

"Embassies and consulates and their senior leadership manage the content that is on their feeds and they are expected to use good policy judgment in doing that," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said.

On Monday, Nuland had made comments similar to Stewart's, although more nuanced and couched in diplomatic terms, about Youssef's arrest.

She declined to say if the State Department agreed with the Egyptian government's criticism of the tweet. But she suggested the embassy had erred by posting a link to a video that is already widely available on the Internet.

"I can't speak to the decision to re-tweet Jon Stewart to start with," she said. "But Jon Stewart is a comedy show in the U.S., as you know. It is publicly available content."

She said the "glitches" sheof a "''disturbing trend" of growing restrictions on freedom of expression in Egypt.

"There does not seem to be an evenhanded application of justice here," she said, adding that the Egyptian government has been slow to investigate police brutality or attacks on anti-Morsi protesters and journalists.

On Tuesday, the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party denounced Nuland's comments as "blatant interference" in Egypt's internal affairs.

Hours later, Secretary of State John Kerry jumped into the fray saying that Washington has "real concerns about the direction Egypt appears to be moving in," adding that the country is at a "tipping point."

A DJI Phantom FC40 unmanned aerial vehicle took the footage seen in the video, which was published on YouTube on Aug. 23, he said.

Militants used the footage to survey the Tabqa military airfield, a key Syrian air base, that the group later captured. The base was the last government stronghold in the area.

"They … [used] this as a recon method to scout out what the base looked like before going in with a more kinetic attack," Clarke said. "They used multiple suicide bombers to gain entry."

Not only did the capturing of the base give ISIS a foothold in the northern Syrian city of Raqqa, but it may have acquired surface-to-air missiles known as man portable air defense systems, or MANPADS, ClarkeRyan Bailey

Emile Heskey is the England hair stylist

Emile William Ivanhoe Heskey's inclusion in England's World Cup squad - let alone the starting 11 last Saturday - remains a bone of contention. The Aston Villa striker netted just three times for his club last season, and his record of seven goals in 59 England appearances is poor. In fact, in recent games, Japan has scored more goals for England than the 32-year-old.

In addition to his dual role as Wayne Rooney's support act and England's official shot misser, Heskey has taken on another important responsibility within the England camp: he has become the team hair stylist. The Sun claim that players were "queuing up at his hotel room for a trim before the game," and the UK's favorite tabloid also

He told Computerworld the filter went live on February 1 but DIA has delayed announcing that until it held a meeting with its Independent Reference Group. He says he's disappointed the launch was conducted in such a "stealthy mode".

MACOMB, IL -- Western Illinois University, working with the Office of the Illinois Secretary of State, will serve as a host site for a variety of training exercises for specially-trained explosives canines, handlers and technicians.

On March 13, 1978, Robert Shaw's jewelry store was robbed.   The robber bound Shaw's hands behind his back and crushed his skull with repeated blows from an iron skillet.   Although severely wounded, Shaw survived this onslaught, only to be strangled to death with his own necktie.   The perpetrator then departed with the fruits of the crime.

Two days later, Arizona charged Paris Hoyt Carriger with the robbery and the first-degree murder of Robert Shaw.   After a two week trial, the jury convicted Carriger on both charges.   The judge sentenced Carriger to 99-100 years' imprisonment for the robbery and to death for the murder.

Dunbar admitted during direct examination that he made fabrications relating to this case and that he had six prior felony convictions.

Five months after arriving in New Zealand as a refugee, Brandon Patino, 19, is the first of the Colombians resettled in Invercargill to get a job.

Patino this week started a two-week part-time position as a car groomer at Southland Kia filling in while another worker is away.

Patino was excited to get the job, even if it was only a short-term employment,.

The biggest barrier he and the other Colombians faced when trying to get jobs was their ability to speak English, Patino said.

Patino along with other refugees were enrolled to learn English in classes that ran from Tuesday to Friday to improve their skills each.

His English was improving much faster than his parents and his younger brother was probably picking the language up the quickest, Patino said.

Southland Kia owner Rick Murrell said Patino was a quick learner and was doing a great job despite the fact that his English was not strong.

"I've been impressed by how quickly he is picking it up."

Murrell believed that he could show other employers in Invercargill that the Colombians were great workers that should be given the opportunity.

He understood some employers mayhave concerns regarding health and safety when it came to ensuring employers had communicated clearly with staff.

"To move to another country and learn a new language, to start from the very beginning, I don't think I'd be capable of doing it."

Because his wife Andrea is Colombian he has had a bit to do with the community, Murrell said.

The Invercargill community would be better off by helping them settle in, he said.

So far, 10 families have been settled in Invercargill and there will be 11 by the end of July.

On April 15, 2013, hours after detonating a pair of deadly explosives at the Boston Marathon, Tamerlan Tsarnaev walked into the Al-Burra Grocery store in the Roxbury section of Boston to buy a pack of cookies. As he arrived at the store, he found Laith Al-Behacy — a 46-year-old Egyptian immigrant who had been working there since 2008 — sitting behind the cash register, watching television footage of the aftermath of the attacks.

Seeing Tamerlan walk in, Al-Behacy asked him in jest whether he’d had anything to do with the bombings. Tsarnaev smiled, said no, and calmly walked out with his purchase.

On Monday, Al-Behacy testified about this encounter on the opening day of the sentencing phase of the trial of Tamerlan’s younger brother, Dzhokhar. While describing Tamerlan as generallypolite in his interactions at the store, Al-Behacy also said that he had become the bête noire of Boston’s Muslim community due to his rude and abrasive outbursts at mosque services, as well as his increasing extremism. During one service, which Al-Behacy witnessed, Tamerlan was ejected from the mosque by other congregants after denouncing the imam as a munafiq (hypocrite) for encouraging voting in a forthcoming election.

Such behavior by Tamerlan is likely to be a focus of the coming weeks of testimony, as defense lawyers seek to establish the malign influence he had upon his impressionable younger sibling in the run-up to the 2013 bombing.

Somewhat incongruously, the defense has also stated that Tamerlan’s influence should not be held as a straightforward mitigating factor when deciding whether to impose


propaganda, portions of which he shared with Dzhokhar. One of the sections of his channel was entitled simply, “Terrorists.”

Judith Russell, the mother of Tamerlan’s wife, Katherine Russell, also testified to Tamerlan’s increasingly controlling and abusive behavior toward her and her daughter. Describing him as obsessively haranguing her and others with his extremist religious ideas and grievances about American foreign policy — regardless of social setting — she also said that Tamerlan had controlled her daughter’s life to the point that Katherine was effectively cut off from many of her friends and family. The domineering and oppressive effect Tamerlan had upon Katherine was suggested by Dzhokhar’s lawyers as analogous to the influence he would later come to have in steering Dzhokhar toward extremist ideology.

In the months leading up tothe bombing, Tamerlan, who had once been known as a notorious womanizer and drinker, had increasingly taken to ostentatious public displays of religiosity. He discarded his once flashy dress, and began wearing a flowing white dishdasha in public, a garment common to Gulf Arab countries but alien to theCaucasus region of Russia where he and his family originated. He also grew a beard, and became increasingly vituperative and confrontational in his personal interactions with friends, acquaintances and random passersby.

In November 2012, just months before the attacks, Tamerlan walked into a local halal meat shop where he began yelling and gesticulating angrily towards the store clerk for selling halal turkeys in celebration of Thanksgiving. Louay Assaf, the imam whom Tamerlan had publicly denounced as a “hypocrite,” also testified that

Sanctions have already been imposed on him by the West. Of course, the Russian president has proven time and again that he places greater priority on his geopolitical dominance than any possible economic hardship in his country, even if the latter affects his own cronies. Thus, it is debatable if harsher economic sanctions will create any desirable effect. Russia has already suffered in that area and Putin seems undeterred, using those very sanctions as a scapegoat in order to convince his electorate of the economic war waged against them by the West.

All this coincides with the restoration of the relationship between Russia and Turkey, at a time when the West seems to be losing another difficult but indispensable ally. Despite the claims that it had been planned beforehand,liberalization and resumed accession talks. The first might actually be a hit for Erdogan. As for the second, from the moment the negotiations first froze in 2006, the Turkish president became confident this was just an empty promise. In any case, it is doubtful he even wants it himself, given his recent turn toward the East and his intention to reinstate the death penalty, which is a clear red line for any member of the EU.

With the U.S. incapable of openly supporting the anti-regime forces in Syria, and with Europe weighed down by a multitude of crises and desperate to rid itself of the terrorist threat, the way is open for Putin to follow his own strategy in Syria. That will almost certainly include the restoration of Bashar

The World War Two heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis has been found in the Pacific Ocean, 72 years after its sinking by a Japanese submarine.

The warship was discovered 18,000 feet (5.5km) beneath the surface.

The Indianapolis was destroyed returning from its secret mission to deliver parts for the atomic bomb which was later used on Hiroshima.

Of the 1,196 men on board, just 316 were rescued - the largest loss of life at sea in the history of the US Navy.

Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who led the civilian search team, said the discovery was "truly humbling".

The USS Indianapolis was destroyed on 30 July 1945 when, somewhere in the Philippine sea between Guam and Leyte, it was hit


by a torpedo from a Japanese submarine.

Between 800-900 escaped the sinking ship. But no distress call was ever received, and by the time the survivors were found by chance four days later, just 316 were left alive in the shark-infested waters.

The ship's rapid sinking - in just 12 minutes - and the lack of a distress call meant the ship's location had long been a mystery.

Image copyright Paul G Allen Image caption Researchers knew the ship was the Indianapolis (CA-35) because of its hull markings

Mr Allen's crew discovered the vessel on 18 August, after new research from a naval historian pointed them to a specific region of the ocean where the warship had been sighted the night before its destruction.

The ship is well-known for its final, secret mission,carrying parts for the atomic bomb nicknamed "Little Boy" as well as enriched uranium fuel for its nuclear reaction. Those supplies were delivered to Tinian island, an American base in the final year of the war which launched the world's first nuclear bombing.

Four days later, the Indianapolis sank - less than a week before the nuclear bomb it helped to make destroyed Hiroshima in the final days of World War Two.

Image copyright Paul G Allen Image caption Some fragments bore the name of the ship, making its identification relatively simple

"To be able to honour the brave men of the USS Indianapolis and their families through the discovery of a ship that played such a significant role during World War Two is truly humbling," Mr Allen said.

"As Americans, we


all owe a debt of gratitude to the crew for their courage, persistence and sacrifice in the face of horrendous circumstances."

The USS Indianapolis remains the property of the US Navy, the search team's statement said. It will now be considered a protected war memorial.

A spokesman for the survivors, 22 of whom are still alive, said each of them had "longed for the day when their ship would be found".

Mr Allen's specially-outfitted research vessel, the Petrel, has been designed for exploration and research with a crew of 16.

The hashtag#PathTweetAward was created the next day based on a suggestion by Dr. Amy Deeken (@AmyHDeekenMD), a pathologist from Ohio who is active on social media. A Twitter handle (@PathTweetAward) and a promotional video to create awareness about the award were created shortly thereafter by Dr. Muhammad Ahsan (@ahsanuitis), a pathologist from Pakistan. The award was supported online by several pathologists with a prominent social media presence, including Dr. Jerad Gardner, Dr. Kamran Mirza, Dr. Christina Arnold, Dr. Julie Teruya-Feldstein and Dr. Kalyani Bambal.

What is
crowdfunding? How was #PathTweetAward crowdfunded?

Crowdfunding is


a fundraising method in which small amounts of money are contributed by a large number of people, typically via the internet. Crowdfunding for #pathtweetaward was made possible by Dr. Amy Deeken, who started up a GoFundMe account for the award on April 7, 2018 (gofundme.com/5dakxso) and created a promotional video. Incredibly, the fundraising goal of $1000 was reached within a single day of setting up the GoFundMe account. At the time of this writing, the account has raised $1550, generously donated by 26 individuals (predominantly pathologists) over a period of 6 months.

Who is
eligible for the award?

Pathologists in practice, pathology residents,
and pathology fellows anywhere in the world are eligible for the award. To be
considered, a tweet with educational value should be posted on Twitterprocess, summarized by screening judge Dr.Elvira Gonzalez-Obeso, is shown in this image:

and a moderate land reform law. The FFT clamoured for the Land Rent Control Act (LRCA) to be ratified and its laws to be made applicable to the whole country. It was finally enacted in December 1974.

The 1974 act was more extensive and differed from an earlier 1950 law in terms of application, terms of rent, and terms of enforcement. The 1974 act stipulated the establishment of provincial and district committees to oversee its implementation and administration and also to mediate conflicts between tenants and farmers. The officials on these committees were to be selected from the sub-districts where there was land tenancy. By involving farmers directly in the administration of the law, farmers were to be entitled to a fair hearing from fellow farmers rather than governmentWe wanted players to immerse themselves in the roles of the heroes or villains they were adopting. So, we started with the current villain of the ongoing Magic story as the first "official" archenemy: Nicol Bolas, the Elder Dragon Planeswalker. And who better to oppose him than the Gatewatch, the very force standing against him in the story, set to face him in battle in July's Hour of Devastation? With the character roles locked in, we were able to assemble preconstructed decks for not only the archenemy, but also for the three players facing him down. This allowed us to curate a much more balanced out-of-the-box experience than the original Archenemy, which called upon players to construct the three teammate decks themselves.

The set's four main characters appear as


hitters like Inferno Titan and Avatar of Fury also provide a significant late-game beatdown while keeping the opponent's board a little thinner. Meanwhile, Obsidian Fireheart gives Chandra some options for lower-effort damage output that should stay consistent throughout the game. Along with her pal Gideon, Chandra will be helping keep Bolas's forces in check while she hits him hard in the face as often as she can.

The final member of the heroes' party for this adventure is Nissa, and she brought her newfound love of the color blue with her. Like we've seen with Nissa, Steward of Elements (though it isn't featured in this set), Nissa's penchant for blue mostly manifests in the form of card advantage and flying creatures.

Jamire Williams Seeks To “Collaborate With God” On His Spacious New Jazz Track

A new album Effectual is out December 2.

If The Shining's Overlook Hotel was possessed by benevolent jazz scholars instead of whatever this is, its playlist might include "Collaborate With God," the new track from Jamire Williams, premiering today on The FADER. Williams's drumming skills are the secret weapon of jazz luminaries like Herbie Hancock and Robert Glasper, and for "Collaborate With God" he's recruited the artistry of noted French composer and Frank Ocean collaboratorChassol. The track quickly develops a tension between pretty and ghoulish — not unlike a church, come to think of it — and collects warm strands of improvisation into one sumptuously layered sample of the divine.

Over email, Williams said the song came fromMarch 16, 1987, and sentenced to one year's imprisonment with credit for time already served. He appeals. We affirm the decision of the trial court.
The incident in question arises from an event surrounding an apparent dispute on November 9, 1986, between David Jackiewicz (David), defendant's brother, and Violet Eastwood, his former girlfriend. The facts are generally uncontroverted.
Defendant was charged by information November 14, 1986, with obstructing justice on November 12, 1986, with the intent to obstruct David's prosecution. The State accused defendant of furnishing false information to Brian Bell, an officer of the Decatur police department, *1064 relating to David's possession of a handgun on November 9, 1986, during separate incidents occurring in Decatur in which David allegedly threatened Eastwood and her companion, George Leggions. During the second


defendant's unborn child, and the other suspect was a cousin. In addition, defendant lived in a household which included both suspects. The court ruled this provided a reasonable inference that Gray believed withholding the evidence would prevent the prosecution of the suspects.
 4 In the case at bar, evidence adduced at trial clearly indicated David possessed a gun on the night of November 9, 1986, during an incident in which David threatened Leggions with that gun. Leggions stated he saw defendant take the gun away from David. Pirtle and Yarberry said they saw defendant waving a gun in the air. Bell also testified he seized a pair of sneakers and a sock from defendant's home. The left sneaker contained a bullet hole in the inner arch, and onein the top part of the sole. Similarly, a sock found near the shoes contained two holes in the inside of the left arch. One hole was surrounded by a red stain. A photograph of defendant's left foot taken during defendant's booking was admitted into evidence. The photograph shows a wound in the inner arch area. The evidence supports the trial court's conclusion the defendant knowingly furnished false information when he told Bell twice on November 12, 1986, that no gun was used in the November 9 incident. Intent can be inferred from the fact David was defendant's brother, and defendant had shown an interest in protecting his brother as shown by Pirtle's testimony. The State met its burden of proof.
 5 Defendant testified he made no statement


about a gun when asked by Bell because he was "exercising his rights" to remain silent. Defendant's claim he was exercising his rights, however, is belied by the fact defendant failed to remain silent. Defendant testified he told Bell he drove the car used on November 9 to pursue Eastwood and Leggions. Pirtle, Yarberry and Leggions testified defendant and David were in that car. Pirtle stated she saw David exit his automobile, approach the driver's side of Eastwood's vehicle, and point a gun at Eastwood. The evidence was sufficient to prove defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
The judgment of the circuit court of Macon County is affirmed.
Affirmed.

review of an order of the Board of Tax Appeals determining deficiencies in the individual income taxes of Mr. Dickey for the years 1920 and 1921 of $167,285.10 and $97,669.27, respectively.
In 1917, Mr. Dickey, who resided in Kansas City, Mo., was a man of large means and varied business interests. He was engaged, among other things, in the manufacture of clay products, and owned many plants and factories in various parts of the United States which produced such products, and the clay lands from which the necessary raw material was obtained. Among the corporations the stock of which was owned by him was the Ontario Realty Company, a Missouri corporation. This company, prior to January 10, 1917, owned valuable real estate, and its entire capital stock belonged toMr. Dickey, with the exception of two shares, one of which stood in the name of Fred L. Dickey, a brother, and the other in the name of George H. Davis, the secretary of the company. The board of directors consisted of Mr. Dickey and these two other stockholders.
On January 10, 1917, a contract was entered into between Mr. Dickey and the Ontario Realty Company, by the terms of which Mr. Dickey sold to that company approximately 3,000 acres of clay land for a consideration of $335,507.28 and its agreement "to pay two-thirds of the gross income from said lands to Kate L. Dickey, Madeline A. Dickey, Catherine Dickey, and William Laurence Dickey in equal shares during their lifetime, and on the death of any one or more


of said parties the share of such gross income payable to such deceased person or persons to be paid to W. S. Dickey, or on his order, such payments to continue until the clay deposits on said lands shall be exhausted." Kate L. Dickey was the wife of Walter S. Dickey, and the other individual beneficiaries of the sales contract were his children. The lands were those upon which fifteen of Mr. Dickey's clay plants were dependent for their raw material. The $335,507.28 specified in the sale contract was the March 1, 1913, value of the land, and that value was fixed in order to avoid any taxable profit.
Subsequent to January 10, 1917, an oral agreement was made between Mr. Dickey and the Ontario Realty Company whereby heand this amount was liquidated during the following three years out of credits entered upon his books to the realty company for clay taken from the lands by Mr. Dickey. Separate books of account were kept for the realty company. It had, however, no separate bank account. Mr. Dickey acted as its banker and as banker for members of his family. On his books were kept accurate accounts of all advances, disbursements, and collections made, for the realty company and also for each member of his family. His wife and children drew against his bank account, and their checks were charged to their own personal accounts upon his books.
Quarterly, the amounts due the realty company for clay taken by Mr. Dickey under his oral agreement were computed. The


individual returns as "Royalties from Ontario Realty Co.," and they paid income taxes upon them. Mr. Dickey, in his returns for those years, deducted from his gross income all amounts credited to the Ontario Realty Company and to the beneficiaries on account of clay taken by him from these clay lands. Upon the audit of Mr. Dickey's income tax returns for those years, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue added to the net income reported by Mr. Dickey the amounts credited to the beneficiaries, upon the ground that they represented gifts of income by Mr. Dickey to them in those years. To adjust the matter of taxes which had been paid upon the same income by the beneficiaries, the Commissioner, so far as possible, issued certificates of overassessment.
From theOntario Realty Company, of which Mr. Dickey was then president; that in 1917 he was familiar with the records and transactions of that company, although he was not then secretary, but was assistant secretary. He did not say that he was present at the time the oral contract was made, but testified: "There was an agreement on the part of Mr. Dickey to pay to the Ontario Realty Company for all clay removed from these lands at the price of $1.00 per ton burned weight, and the agreement was to continue until the clay deposit was exhausted, which agreement is recited in the minutes." He further said: "Mr. Dickey's agreement to pay $1.00 a ton was an oral agreement, the term of which was until the clay deposits


were exhausted. The last sheet of this Form F is the yellow sheet and is in my handwriting. The statement upon that yellow sheet as follows:  `This agreement became effective January 1st, 1917, and continues from year to year until terminated by mutual agreement. The royalty paid is subject to change from time to time, as conditions justify. The operator and lessee has the right to enter upon the company's lands for the purpose of opening up clay deposits, or make use of clay pits already opened, and to extract and transport therefrom clay for the use of his plants. The operator furnishes all equipment and tools, including tracks, steam shovels, etc., and bears all the expense of stripping overburden, excavating, leading and transporting the clay.' that Mr. Dickey, while he parted with the title to the clay lands by selling them to the realty company, did not, as a practical matter, part with his command over the income to be derived from those lands. Controlling, as he did, the price and amount of clay to be taken from them, and the stock of the realty company, as well as the means of removing the clay and producing the finished products, he had it in his power to regulate the amount of gross income which the realty company would obtain from the sale of clay and the amount of income which would pass to his wife and children under the sales agreement. In effect, he controlled the benefits to be derived from the use


FIU Summer Program Featured in Diverse: Issues in Higher Education

Earlier this year, FIU was selected to join the Verizon Innovative Learning Initiative, a program that encourages students to pursue an education in STEM fields. At FIU, 150 minority middle school male students participated in an intensive three-week summer camp where they learned skills like coding and robotics. In addition to FIU, three other minority-serving universities — Tennessee State University, Dillard University, and California State University — took part in the program.

Recently, an article in Diverse: Issues in Higher Education discussed the program and its benefits. In the article, Dr. Monique Ross, an assistant professor in the School of Computing & Information Sciences, spoke about some of the specifics of FIU’s summer camp.

Finishing 24th overall, the Philadelphia Flyers posted a record of 33-31-18 to end up with just 84 points. Their home record (23-11-7) was one of the better home records in the league, earning the Flyers more points than quite a few teams that made the post-season. Their away record (10-20-11) was what did them in and dropped the Flyers. Only the Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers and Buffalo Sabres dropped more games in regulation than Philadelphia. A lack of scoring depth outside of the usual suspects and some weaknesses on defense eventually were too much to cover up.

The 2014-15 Regular Season

It was the second year in the last three seasons that the Philadelphia Flyers missed the playoffs, however things are not as dire as they


may seem. In 2013-14, team possession numbers were at 50%, which was good enough to make it into the dance. The season prior, their numbers were at 48%. This year, they were at 49%, which indicates that they’ll never be a team fighting for a number one overall pick but they’ll be scraping their way through a season to capture a wild card position.

Coming off a career-high 81-point season, Jakub Voracek continues to to be one of the premiere players in the league. His consistency at growing his game and evolving as a dynamic player has been a real treat to watch, and his possession numbers and physical edge provide the Flyers with the scoring they need on their top line. Linemate Claude Giroux cooled off after ablazing start to the season, but you won’t find anyone complaining about a 73-point season. Wayne Simmonds also continued his trend of being a 20+ goal scorer in the National Hockey League. Scoring 28, 29 and 28 in the last three seasons (minus the lock-out where he scored 15 in 48 games, putting him on pace for 27 goals in a full 82 game season), Simmonds managed to remain a physical specimen while lowering his penalty minutes from 106 to 66, proving you can still play with a physical edge in this era.

Brayden Schenn still shows signs of becoming more than a second-line scorer and took great strides this season. Putting up 88 points in the last two seasons shows some great promise, while Sean Couturier was faced


off.

Steve Mason had another stellar season behind the Flyers, seemingly having turned around his career with the new team. After posting an average of .903 with the Columbus Blue Jackets over five seasons, the Oakville, Ontario native has established himself as a starting goaltender in the national hockey league, improving his save percentage over the last three seasons with performances of .948, .917 and .928 in three seasons with the Flyers. While Philly’s defense remains cream cheese for the time being, the stability of Mason between the pipes has helped mask the mediocrity on the blue line.

Prior to the trade deadline, the Flyers made two trades to free up some cap space and room on the blue-line. Veteran Kimmo Timonen was sent to the Chicago Blackhawks for 20152nd-round pick and a conditional 2016 4th-round pick (pick was upgraded to a 2nd-round pick due to Chicago making the finals and Timmonen playing in 50% of the games). On deadline day, Braydon Coburn was sent to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for defenseman Radko Gudas, as well as 1st and 3rd-round picks in 2015.

The Off-Season and Free Agents

Heading into the off-season, the Philadelphia Flyers have a total of five free agents to decide on. Of the five free agents, just one of them is restricted to the team; Defenseman Michael Del Zotto. Forwards Ryan White and Chris VandeVelde, defensemen Carlo Colaiacovo, and goaltender Ray Emery are the upcoming unrestricted free agents.

Taking into account the Schultz extension an the one-year contract given to Yevgeny Medvedev, the Flyers


the Anaheim Ducks or Michael Frolik of the Winnipeg Jets. Carl Soderberg, who could be leaving Boston according to Elliotte Friedman, is definitely an upgrade at the center position. Or, if they choose to go the cheaper route, giving prospect Scott Laughton a shake at the main roster could be a viable option. Again, it’ll take some maneuvering around the cap and dishing out a contract or two, but with a few tweaks to the line-up via free agency, the Flyers could turn things around and push for a playoff spot next season.

The Draft Table

Hextall and his scouting staff have been very busy at the NHL draft combine, and for good reason. Not only do they draft 7th overall and later on in the first round at theof Dave Hakstol as the new head coach and 19th in the franchise’s history came seemingly out of left field. Hakstol, 46, had spent eleven seasons as head coach of North Dakota in the NCAA. Hextall was a firm believer in his coaching ways, offering him a 5-year deal worth $10 million, despite having never coached a game at the NHL level.

But don’t let that fool you. His credentials in North Dakota seem convincing enough. In the eleven seasons he coached with North Dakota, no team won more games than Hakstol’s team. He made the Frozen Four seven times, which is more times than established universities such as Boston College and Michigan State qualified for the NCAA tournament. It also never mattered what core of players he coached,

             I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
        In November 2010, Bachman applied to be a Rural Route Carrier for the
USPS. As part of the application process, he completed a standard Medical
Assessment Form (the “Form”), on which he answered that he had never been
injured on the job. On the same form, Bachman authorized USPS to obtain his
health records to determine suitability for employment. In signing the Form, he
acknowledged that his failure to answer the questions truthfully could result in
his termination. Shortly after USPS hired Bachman, it discoveredlike it imposed something on the text that was less than salutary. Then we commune as the Passion hymns retell the story.

Through the smaller services of Holy Week we come to Maundy or Holy Thursday. Many find the individual absolution to be one of the most deeply moving aspects of the whole service. Others find the ending the clincher -- seeing the chancel emptied of all its appointments is like watching our Lord's things being taken from Him. And then it ends in quietness and solitude. From there to the noonday office in which we read the Passion, interspersed with hymn stanzas, and end with the bidding prayer. In the evening we have used several different formats. This year we shape the service around the text of the


Litany (our prayer for Lent at the behest of Pres. Harrison). Again, the focus is on the Passion (according to St. John) and it ends with the adoration of the cross and the Our Father. The empty chancel and the starkness of the setting emphasize the Passion story. Quiet and solemnity affords us no distraction from the words of the Gospel.

The Vigil will see two baptisms and perhaps the smallest of the crowds for the Holy Week and Easter services. The smaller attendance seems to better fit the character of the Vigil and allows us a more casual atmosphere (with respect to coming and going and nearness to the action of it all). The people there then decorate the chancel for Easter and restore the Alleluia to theFormer prime minister Tony Abbott has given the thumbs-up to his bronze replica at its unveiling in Ballarat, saying he is glad to see his likeness smiling after years of controversy.

It has been almost two years since Mr Abbott, who served as prime minister between 2013–2015, lost his position to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

He has now been immortalised in Ballarat's Prime Ministers Avenue, in the western Victorian city's 19th century botanic gardens.

"Given the controversies I've endured over the years it's very nice to see a happy, smiling 28th prime minister of Australia," the Liberal MP for Warringah said.

The sculpture was made by the first female artist to contribute to the avenue. ( ABC News: Charlotte King )

Mr Abbott is the latest leader to be added to Ballarat's portrait


avenue, which was established in 1940 by the local benefactor and MP, Richard Crouch.

The quick succession of leaders in recent years had caused something of a backlog.

Sculptor Linda Klarfeld said she began her bronze portrait of Mr Abbott after he was ousted from power.

"I did get an insight from his perspective as well, and I tried to put that in the sculpture," said Klarfeld, who is the first female sculptor to contribute to the avenue.

"It's just incredible to think about the stamina — how do you cope with criticism day-to-day?

"What does that do to you? And what kind of strong will do you have to have to keep your vision?"

21:32Sunday 10 April 2011

FIFTY years ago tomorrow, as the sun rose on the steppes of Kazakhstan in the southern USSR, an antiquated bus trundled towards a giant metal gantry rising out of the plain.

Inside the bus was a 27-year-old Soviet air force pilot dressed in an orange flight suit and white helmet. At the back, among military officers and doctors, sat another identically dressed figure – a back-up should any accident befall the first man.

Both men were unknown to the wider world, but in a few hours the name of one of them would rank alongside Columbus, Magellan and the Wright brothers as one of the greatest explorers in history.

The atmosphere was tense, no-one smiled, nerves were evident.


Suddenly the bus made an unscheduled stop, the lead figure got out, and urinated against the wheel of the bus. The suited figure was destined for outer space – and what could have been his last act on Earth was to become a tradition repeated by all subsequent Russian cosmonauts.

The bus halted by the gantry, now seen to be enclosing a gigantic steaming rocket topped by a spacecraft named Vostok, Russian for east. The lead figure got out and reported his name – Yuri Gagarin – to his superiors, then ascended a lift to be strapped in to the capsule by technicians.

Gagarin had only been informed of his selection three days earlier as the pilot for the first space flight. Three press releases had already been prepared –one for success, two for failure.

Test flights using the same design of craft had put several dogs and a dummy cosmonaut into space. The results did not inspire total confidence. Of the dogs, four survived but two burned up in the atmosphere during re-entry. The dummy cosmonaut was still up there – stranded in space in a dead craft after a retro-rocket failure.

The clock ran its course to the appointed hour – the Russians did not do countdowns – then the rocket burst into life. "Poyekhali!" Gagarin shouted into the radio, "Let's go!" Vostok rose on a tower of flames and smoke, then arced off to the east, climbing higher and higher, accelerating away until it was a tiny bright speck in the sky.

The ground crew gaped at


the steaming launch pad, astonished by the enormity of what they had just done, and wondering how it would end. Ensconced at the tip of the rocket, Gagarin sounded calm: "I feel excellent. Continuing the flight. G-load increasing. All is well."

Within minutes, he had smashed the human speed record of 1,600mph, then the human altitude record of 19 miles. Booster rockets peeled off and crashed to the steppes, as the core rocket stage drove Gagarin ever faster.

The sky in his porthole turned from blue to black. Finally, at a height of 112 miles the rocket shut down violently, he was thrown forward into his straps, then suddenly found himself weightless. Several loose objects appeared and floated silently around his cabin. He had attained orbital velocity of 17,000mph, butfelt strangely motionless.

If he was nervous, he did not show it: "The craft is operating normally. I'm feeling fine, and I'm in good spirits."

"I see Earth! It is so beautiful," Gagarin radioed. He could pick out fields, forests and rivers. He sped above Siberia and Japan, then out over the Pacific Ocean as darkness fell on Hawaii. The stars were the brightest he had ever seen, unflickering and unfiltered by atmosphere.

His curved orbit took him south to the Straits of Magellan at the southern tip of Chile, which he reached an hour after launch.

Now, news of his flight was announced to the world on Radio Moscow. A storm of excitement ensued, and not a little fear in Washington. At home, his wife Valya with their two daughters, and


mother Anna, knew little if anything of Gagarin's secretive training. "What has he gone and done?" his mother wailed, aghast.

As he hurtled over the South Atlantic and into daylight once more, Gagarin saw his second sunrise of the day. He made several radio transmissions which went unanswered, as the Russian communications network did not extend so far south. The coast of Africa was coming up fast; time to fire the retro-rockets to bring him down out of orbit – the moment for re-entry. Vostok was turned to face the correct way, and the rockets fired for 40 seconds to drop out of orbit on a course back to Russia. The retro compartment was jettisoned, and Gagarin reported: "Everything is OK."

All had gone well so far, but now somethingwas wrong. Vostok was swinging about wildly, not the stable flight required for a safe re-entry. When the retro compartment had separated over Egypt, the electrical cable connecting it to Gagarin's capsule failed to sever. Now the dead retro-module was trailing along behind, banging into the capsule.

Gagarin was alarmed, but didn't tell mission control. As the air resistance and temperature mounted, the gyrations increased. Finally the wire was burned through, and with a final jerk, Vostok was free. It settled into a stable path towards Earth.

As the flames flickered around Vostok's portholes, Gagarin was crushed into his seat by eight times the force of gravity. He raced earthwards towards the town Engels in the Saratov region.

Two schoolgirls saw the capsule hit the ground: "It was a huge ball,


about three metres high. It bounced and then it fell again. There was a huge hole where it hit the first time."

But the capsule was empty. The Soviet authorities initially claimed that Gagarin landed inside his craft, thus abiding by the sporting code of the International Aeronautical Federation, which records achievements in flight.

Years later, fellow cosmonaut and space artist Alexei Leonov – the first man to walk in space – made an accurate painting of Gagarin's landing. It showed the Vostok capsule descending on a red-and-white ringed parachute, just as the schoolgirls saw it – but Gagarin floats behind it in his red spacesuit under a separate parachute. Gagarin landed about 10 minutes after ejecting from Vostok. He had circled Earth in just under two hours.

A farmer andher daughter, tending a calf, had observed the strangely clad figure make his descent. They were astonished, but also suspicious. A year earlier, American pilot Gary Powers had been shot down in his U2 spy plane and parachuted into captivity, much to the delight of Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev.

Gagarin later said: "When they saw me in my spacesuit and the parachute dragging alongside, they started to back away in fear. I told them, don't be afraid, I am a Soviet like you, who has descended from space. I must find a telephone to call Moscow!" The peasant women in their headscarves embraced him. The first human spaceflight was safely over. Gagarin was feted around the world, meeting heads of state and premiers, charming all with his broad smile,


smart uniform and sincerity. He was mobbed when he visited London and Manchester, meeting Prime Minister Harold Macmillan and having lunch with the Queen. But his wife said she saw more of him on television than at home.

Just seven years after his space flight, Gagarin died in March 1968 when his MiG-15 jet fighter crashed in a forest outside Moscow. Many conspiracies have been built on the unanswered questions which surrounded the crash – that he was drunk, suicidal, or assassinated. Since formerly secret files have been made available, most investigators have concluded that technical failure of the plane, or a close encounter with another aircraft, was the true cause.

l A statue of Gagarin will be unveiled near Admiralty Arch in London in July to coincide with the50th anniversary of his UK visit. He has a stone at Skara Brae in Orkney, and a street, Gagarin Way, is named after him in the Fife mining village of Lumphinnans. Tomorrow night, Yuri's Night will be celebrated around the world with various events. A free film, First Orbit, is also being launched on the internet.

'The shock was that they got there before we did'

AMERICAN astronaut Dick Gordon, whose grandfather emigrated from Aberdeenshire, distinctly remembers where he was on 12 April, 1961 when Yuri Gagarin beat his nation into space.

"When Yuri flew, I was a young flight instructor in a fighter squadron in Miramar, California. Once the Russians got into orbit, and we followed with our own satellite, we knew very well that humans were


going to be next. The shock was that they got there before we did."

Gordon's first space flight was Gemini XI with another naval aviator Pete Conrad. Gordon undertook a spacewalk which was so exhausting he fell asleep in open space. Gordon was selected as command module pilot for Apollo 12, the second lunar landing in November 1969, just months after Neil Armstrong's historic descent. They rode into orbit through a thunderstorm, before Gordon remained close above the Moon while his two colleagues landed for a two-day stay.

He was to be commander of Apollo 18 and set for a moonwalk himself, when the programme was prematurely curtailed at Apollo 17.

Despite the Cold War rivalry, Gordon met several Soviet cosmonauts and remains good friends with Alexei Leonov, the first manto walk in space.

When Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin finally set down on the Moon's Sea of Tranquillity in July 1969, a year after Gagarin's death, they laid a Russian medal in his honour in the dust.

'We built the rocket in which Gagarin flew ...'

SOVIET cosmonaut Georgi Grechko, who turns 80 next month, was a friend of Yuri Gagarin and was closely involved in the construction of his spacecraft. Grechko worked in the design office of the mastermind of the Soviet space programme, Sergei Korolev.

"We made the rocket for Gagarin, and the ship in which he flew. We sat in our workplaces and listened to the broadcast of Gagarin's flight from launch to landing," he recalls.

When Gagarin landed, their first reaction was relief: "The first cosmonaut was still alive


and well, and our technical equipment, to which Gagarin entrusted his life, worked properly." Grechko later flew in the rockets that he helped design, and made three space flights.

Grechko remembers the day Gagarin died. "His plane failed to return and as time passed we realised all the fuel must have been used up." A crash site was then found and, first, searchers found the body of an instructor who was on board. "This kindled hope Gagarin had escaped by parachute, but then they found Gagarin's remains."

Grechko knows Scotland well. He came to Edinburgh and Glasgow in 2007 with the Association of Space Explorers, the exclusive club of people who have orbited the Earth. He returned in 2008 to Inverness and Orkney, where he laid the Gagarin stone atGiorgio DeLuca

Then and Now: A Look at the Transformation of Downtown Las Vegas

12 Mar Then and Now: A Look at the Transformation of Downtown Las Vegas

Before the flashing neon and mega-resorts lined the Las Vegas Strip, Downtown Las Vegas was where it all started. Some of the most iconic Las Vegas buildings, casinos, bars, and restaurants can be found downtown and maintain that vintage Vegas charm that put Sin City on the map. Downtown Las Vegas has since undergone several revitalization efforts, making it a buzzing center of activity for residents, businesses, and tourists alike.

Here’s a look back at its incredible transformation throughout the last 25 years and what new developments are on the horizon.

THEN:

1995 – Fremont Street Experience Opens

One of the most notable milestones for Downtown Las Vegaswas the opening of Fremont Street Experience in 1995. Fremont Street is right in the heart of downtown and is home to many of the downtown casinos, entertainment venues, and attractions. Fremont Street Experience was developed to provide a fun and safe environment for visitors to enjoy everything downtown has to offer, including a world-famous zipline, the Viva Vision light show canopy, and free live entertainment.

1998 – Las Vegas Arts District is Formed

Local artists and independent business owners wanted to create an area of Las Vegas that would encourage a more creative side of the city. The Las Vegas Arts District was formed in 1998 to nurture local artists and give them a place to spark a cultural revival in a part of town that had been neglected


for decades. The Arts District stretches over 18 blocks in Downtown Las Vegas, earning it the nickname of 18b, and is home to several art galleries, studios, vintage clothing boutiques, theaters, and restaurants.

2007 – Debut of the Fremont East Entertainment District

The development of the Fremont East Entertainment District was another major step that contributed to the transformation of the Downtown Las Vegas area. Just adjacent to Fremont Street Experience, this area of downtown is where you can find trendy locally-owned restaurants, bars offering craft beers and cocktails, intimate entertainment venues, the city’s best artisan food trucks, and all the favorite local hangouts. It brought a different dynamic to downtown that strayed from the typical gambling scene you’d expect from the Fremont area.

2012 – Founding of the Downtown Project

Recognizingthat Downtown Las Vegas was on the verge of a major shift, Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos, decided to jump on the opportunity to help sway this change in the right direction with the creation of the Downtown Project. The idea behind this initiative was to accelerate the development of Vegas’ urban core with investment projects, business incentives, a culture of innovation, and giving the local community a voice. In addition to moving Zappos headquarters downtown, large investments were made towards real estate development, tech startups, promoting more arts and culture, and the redevelopment of existing structures.

2013 – Downtown Hosts the First Life is Beautiful Music Festival

As a direct result of the Downtown Project’s efforts, Downtown Las Vegas hosted the very first Life is Beautiful Music & Art


Festival in 2013. The three-day music festival marked a new avenue of change for downtown and drew festival-goers from around the country to a generally unknown part of the city. In addition to musical performances, street artists peppered urban structures with stunning murals, abandoned buildings were transformed into pop-up art galleries and venues, and the downtown area was now recognized as the cultural hub of Las Vegas.

2013 – Downtown Container Park Opens

Made up of repurposed shipping containers and locally-manufactured cube structures, Downtown Container Park was a new concept that offered a little bit of everything to locals and their families, as well as Las Vegas visitors. Locally-owned boutique shops, restaurants, galleries, and specialty stores quickly filled the vacancies, making Container Park the new favorite stop in downtown. Inaddition to the vendors, the park offers an open-air entertainment space that hosts live shows and movie nights, a huge playground with a treehouse and 33-foot slide for the kids, and a 44-foot fire-spitting praying mantis installation that welcomes visitors at the main entrance. With Downtown Container Park opening, Las Vegas now had a place to go to eat, shop, and play right in the heart of the community.

NOW:

2020-2021 – Symphony Park Expansion

Already home to the Smith Center for Performing Arts and the Discovery Children’s Museum, Symphony Park is growing to include two luxury apartment buildings, a Marriott Hotel for convention-goers, more than 60,000 square feet of retail space, new medical offices, and a new complex for the Nevada Art Museum. Construction is currently underway and is expected


to continue through the end of 2021 on some projects. Symphony Park is working with other downtown entities to improve the walkability of the area and the overall presence of art in Las Vegas.

2020 – Expo at World Market Center

Scheduled to open in June 2020, a new convention center is wrapping up in Downtown Las Vegas. The exhibition center will offer 315,00 square feet of convention space with two separate halls that are perfect for corporate events or trade shows. The Expo is already booked for this year’s Las Vegas Market Gift and Home Decor Show and will show off its new remodel for the first time with this debut event.

2020 – Circa Resort & Casino Scheduled to Open

Fremont Street Experience is also undergoing new developments with itsnewest project, Circa Resort & Casino. Standing where the Las Vegas Club once operated, the newest addition to the area will offer 777 rooms, the largest sports book in Las Vegas, and a huge multi-tiered pool amphitheater. Circa is just another example of the new interest in downtown and how the area offers modern amenities coupled with old Vegas glamour. The resort is expected to open its doors in late 2020.

2020 – Expansion of the Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino

Fast forward to Downtown Las Vegas today, and you’ll see a bustling side of town that more and more people are choosing to visit. In response to the growing interest in the area, particularly with younger generations, Downtown Grand Hotel & Casino is expanding its property to offer a


also include retail space and luxury amenities. Fremont East District is also offering more residential space by converting old motels, including the Safari Motel, into sleek studio apartments.

Downtown Las Vegas has come a long way since being dismissed as a fading piece of history. In fact, today it’s known as the trendy new place to live, work, shop, and play. Downtown Container Park offers the best restaurants, boutique shops, and community events, as downtown continues to evolve as the cultural center of Las Vegas. If you’re in the area, be sure to check out Container Park for an authentic downtown Las Vegas experience!

This article is written by guest blogger John Goostree. John regularly writes for the Downtown Grand Blog about topics related to Downtown Las VegasCabinet because of federal anti-nepotism regulations, here’s a look at his Jewish advisers, their views and possible roles in his administration.

Jason Greenblatt

Greenblatt has worked as a real-estate lawyer for Trump for 19 years, and he is one of two Jewish lawyers whom Trump has said he would appoint as his Israel advisers. An Orthodox Jew and Yeshiva University graduate, Greenblatt studied at a West Bank yeshiva in the mid-1980s and even did armed guard duty there.

The father of six from Teaneck, New Jersey, does not have any political experience. Greenblatt has said he speaks with people involved in the Israeli government but has not spoken to any Palestinians since his yeshiva studies. He has cited the American Israel Public Affairs Committee as one of his main sources for


Trump’s daughter Ivanka — played a crucial role in the president-elect’s campaign, especially with regards to Israel. He worked on Trump’s speech to the AIPAC annual policy conference that earned Trump a standing ovation, and helped plan a trip to Israel for his father-in-law last year. (Trump canceled the trip after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed his call to ban Muslim immigration to the United States.)

Trump appears to be smitten with Kushner, often referring to his “fantastic” son-in-law when boasting of his pro-Israel credentials. Kushner, an Orthodox Jew who lives with his wife and their three children on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, may have become a household name during the campaign, but he’s no stranger to the limelight. In 2006, at 25, he bought theObserver newspaper. Two years later he became CEO of his father’s company, Kushner Properties, four years after his father was sent to jail for tax evasion, illegal campaign donations and witness tampering. In 2015, Fortune named Kushner to its 40 Under 40 list, its “annual ranking of the most influential young people in business.”

Ivanka Trump

Trump’s daughter Ivanka, 35, who converted to Orthodox Judaism, has served as the polished, softer face of her father’s campaign. A successful businesswoman whose brand is centered around empowering working women, she stood by him when recordings were released that caught the president-elect bragging about sexually assaulting women.

Ivanka has reportedly tried — not always successfully — to have her father tone down or walk back some of his most inflammatory remarks, including having called


Mexican immigrants rapists, according to New York magazine.

She is the founder of the Ivanka Trump Collection, a fashion and lifestyle brand, and serves as executive vice president of development and acquisitions for the Trump Organization, her father’s company. Ivanka, who gave birth to her third child in March, belongs to the Upper East Side Orthodox synagogue Kehilath Jeshurun with Kushner and has described her family as “pretty observant.” She made Fortune’s 40 Under 40 list in 2014, a year before her husband did.

**Boris Epshteyn
**

Epshteyn, 34, is a Republican political strategist and staunch defender of Trump who has appeared as the president-elect’s surrogate on major TV networks over 100 times, The New York Times reported.

A New York-based investment banker and finance attorney, Epshteyn worked as a communications aide forborder and banning Muslim immigration to the country.

Though Miller grew up in a liberal Jewish home in Southern California, he was drawn to conservative causes early. As a high school student he wrote a letter to the editor of a local paper in which he slammed his school for providing free condoms to students and for making announcements both in English and Spanish, among other things.

**Steven Mnuchin
**

Mnuchin, a former Goldman Sachs executive, worked as Trump’s national finance chairman during the campaign with the aim of raising more than $1 billion for the candidate.

Trump and Mnuchin have been friends for 15 years, and prior to being in charge of Trump’s campaign finances, Mnuchin served as an adviser. Part of what The New York Times describes as one of Manhattan’s


contributor to groups backing Trump’s election — only nine of 55 RJC board members gave to Trump. Alongside Mnuchin, he worked to raise funds for the candidate.

Eisenberg grew up in New Jersey, the Forward reported, and he has been floated as a possible pick for commerce secretary in the Trump administration. He was the chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey at the time of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.

Eisenberg told JTA that he was “extremely enthusiastic” about a Trump presidency, calling him “a strong advocate for Israel, a strong advocate for justice and order.”

Michael Glassner

Glassner was not new to Republican presidential campaigns when Trump appointed him last year to serve as his national political director. He worked as directorof vice presidential operations for McCain’s 2008 campaign and ran Geogre W. Bush’s campaign in Iowa in 2000. He has also worked with Palin and Sen. Bob Dole, a former presidential candidate.

Like many of Trump’s Jewish advisers, Glassner is outspoken in his support of Israel. Prior to joining the Trump campaign, he worked as the political director for AIPAC’s Southwest Regional. Glassner has praised the anti-establishment movement, and he told Jewish Insider that his experience with Palin and the fact that he lives in New Jersey, not Washington, D.C., made him a good fit for Trump’s political outsider message. He also served as a senior adviser to Eisenberg when he was the Port Authority chairman.

Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation is complete, and he has stepped down, several Republicans observed — Congress should be focused on border security and other issues, including the attack on the 2016 election that the special counsel's report documents, Collins said Tuesday.

Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., also said the priorities set by Democrats rest on a basic misunderstanding about the power dynamic within Washington.

"The president of the United States does not work for the Congress of the United States," Cole said. "He works for the American people. He runs a co-equal branch of government."

That means the Trump administration can't drop everything andtract infection (UTI) in a patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Case presentation
=================

The first case is an 11-year-old boy with no past medical history who fell off his bike, hitting a branch, and sustained a penetrating wound by a wood splinter on the dorsal right foot. The mother cleaned the wound with water. The swelling persisted without drainage overnight and the next day, he went to the emergency department (ED) and was discharged on oral cephalexin to prevent cellulitis. After two days of antibiotic, the swelling worsened with draining yellow pus. Throughout this time period, the mother has continued to wash the wound with water and has noticed pieces of wood coming out. The patient was hospitalized after failing outpatient treatment. He was afebrile at the time of admission.
