biggest refugee crises in human history. Over 250,000 Syrians have lost their lives in the midst of a 5 year civil war, and 12 million have been misplaced from their homes. Nearly 5 million of those 12 million are now living as refugees. The majority of those refugees are living in refugee camps mainly located in Jordan, with the largest camp housing 80,000 refugees. These people have had everything they've known taken from them and are now living in overcrowded camps with little food, water, and clean conditions, as returning to their former homes would result in certain death. Room in these camps is shrinking as well, and is leaving those affected to resort to rafting or traveling on foot to any type of sanctuary. You wouldn't uprootyour entire family unless the danger at home was significantly greater than the danger in this big bad world of ours.Global response to the crisis has been slow, but those seeking asylum in European countries brought it front and center to the rest of the world. North America has begun to respond as well, with Canada pledging to take in 25,000 refugees by the end of the month with aim to continue increasing those numbers, while the United States pledging to take in 10,000 refugees (despite protests and phobia of a terror attack on U.S soil). With such an overwhelming global response, Lush was inspired to help as well, with a warm heart and a new bar of soap!Hand of Friendship is a (for now) Lush North America


Ex-Financial Times Journalist Tom Foremski @ the Collision of Technology and Media

Can art change society? I don't think so, I know of no examples. But people can change society, and artists can use their art and influence to make a big difference in the world.

Ai Weiwei, the Chinese artist, is one of those people. He has been using his fame as the world's leading contemporary artist, and his art, to challenge the Chinese government and local officials on issues of corruption, injustice, and cover ups.

He is a fearless social critic, expressing himself through paintings, sculpture, architecture, photography, installations, and blogs. His fearlessness fuels his art, allowing him to work in many types of media and produce an amazing variety of works.

His fearlessness is also what has gotten himinto trouble with the Chinese authorities time and again.

- It's resulted in his studio being bulldozed by the government, (he declared the ruins his greatest work of art).

-It has resulted in a beating by police that nearly killed him, causing a serious brain injury requiring emergency surgery in Germany.

- House arrest.

- And now, imprisonment.

On April 3, Mr Ai was arrested just before boarding a flight to Hong Kong. Chinese authorities charged him with tax evasion, bigamy and publishing indecent images on the Internet.

Michael Sheridan of The Times suggested that Ai had offered himself to the authorities on a platter with some of his provocative art, particularly photographs of himself nude with only a 'horse' hiding his modesty -- with a caption『草泥马挡中央』. The term possesses of a double meaning


in Chinese: one possible interpretation was given by Sheridan as: "F..k your mother, the party central committee".

There has been an international outcry demanding his release by top politicians, artists, and by more than 90,000 petition signers. The US and the European Union have filed official protests with the Chinese government.

Hilary Clinton called for his release and that of others detained in China for "exercising their internationally recognized right to free expression."

Earlier today, about 2,000 people in Hong Kong marched to protest his arrest -- a bold move within a country whose government is notoriously paranoid about any sized organized protest.

Despite the international outcry, things are not looking good for Mr Ai. The author Salmon Rushdie wrote in an Op-Ed piece in the New York Times: Dangerous Arts -NYTimes.com

The disappearance is made worse by reports that Mr. Ai has started to "confess." His release is a matter of extreme urgency.

News that he has begun to "confess" is incredibly disturbing to anyone that has followed Mr Ai's work as an activist and his history of stubborn defiance -- best summed up in the images of his raised middle finger... (the best ones are from his hospital bed when he was recovering from his beatings).

I can easily imagine the horrors of being held captive deep within the bowels of the Chinese prison system, with no communication, and with no protection against the harshest of interrogation techniques.

In his Op-Ed Mr Rushdie pointed out that:

The lives of artists are more fragile than their creations...

Outside the free world, where criticism of


power is at best difficult and at worst all but impossible, creative figures like Mr. Ai and his colleagues are often the only ones with the courage to speak truth against the lies of tyrants...

It seems the regime, irritated by the outspokenness of its most celebrated art export, whose renown has protected him up to now, has decided to silence him in the most brutal fashion.

Lee Rosenbaum, a veteran journalist that covers the art world in the Wall Street Journal and other publications, doesn't believe that international pressure will be enough to release Mr Ai.

She points out on her blog: "As with jailed Nobel Peace Prize winner Liu Xiaobo, the Chinese government strongly decries foreign intervention on behalf of those who are officially regarded as 'criminals.'"

She has criticizedMEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The leaders of two of Mexico’s main opposition parties on Saturday floated the possibility of joining forces in the 2018 presidential elections to defeat the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) of President Enrique Pena Nieto.

The proposal by the heads of the center-right National Action Party (PAN) and center-left Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) could make it harder for the embattled centrist PRI to retain control of the presidency next year.

Pena Nieto, whose approval ratings have sagged to multi-year lows in recent months due to discontent over gang violence and corruption, is barred


from a second term by the constitution.

A tie-up between the PAN and PRD, which together won well over 40 percent of the congressional vote in the 2012 election, could also put pressure on the current front-runner and twice runner-up Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, who heads a new party.

“We’ve discussed the benefits of forging a broad opposition front for the 2018 elections... which would allow us to oust the PRI on the one hand, but also, more importantly, give Mexico a coalition government,” PAN chairman Ricardo Anaya told a news conference with his PRD counterpart Alejandra Barrales.

The PRD is particularly hard-pressed to compete because much of its support went to former Mexico City mayor Lopez Obrador when he broke with the party after the last election to launch anew party, the National Regeneration Movement (MORENA).

The PAN, which held the presidency from 2000 and 2012, fares better in polls, but it is struggling to gain traction for 2018.

Lopez Obrador, who has launched scathing attacks against the PAN and PRD, has shown no inclination to defer to another candidate, and bad blood between him and the parties’ leaders means they are unlikely to line up behind him.

A PAN-PRD alliance in 2018 would need to coalesce around a single candidate, and prominent figures in both parties have already signalled their desire to run.

Whether it will be possible to persuade members of one party to back the candidate of its longtime rival is uncertain, which is why some supporters of a tie-up believe an independent “citizen” candidate would be the


Watch Donald Glover Star As A Brainiac In The Martian [VIDEO]

Matt Damom’s upcoming sci-fi thriller, The Martian has already been garnering rave reviews at functions such as the Toronto International Film Festival well ahead of its October 2 release date.

Part of the reason could be its diverse supporting cast of Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Peña and Donald Glover and/or Childish Gambino, tomato tomahto.

In a new teaser clip from The Martian, Glover, who plays science nerd Rich Purnell, devises a plan that will bring stranded astronaut Mark Watney (Damon) home from his Mars living space.

Bolton: As Bad As It Gets

If Trump is good at firing, it is because he is so bad at hiring.

Donald Trump came to office having made noises favorable to normalizing relations with Russia and cutting back foreign military adventures. Despite his manifest personal and professional inadequacies, that vague promise offered a glimmer of hope to a number of congenital optimists.

But to turn around U.S. foreign policy so drastically, supposing he honestly wanted to do so, a President would need a team possessing the necessary knowledge, wisdom and courage to produce and impose a coherent alternative. Trump had no team at all. He did not seem


in Washington, Bolton has no particular scholarly background for messing around in foreign affairs. Rather, he is the perfect denizen of the galaxy of think tanks that have essentially seized policy-making away from academia and serious diplomacy in order to satisfy rich private donors, the military industrial complex and the Israel lobby.

Bolton has run the gamut of neo-con think tankery, from the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), the American Enterprise Institute, the war-mongering Committee for Peace and Security In the Gulf, to JINSA, the Jewish Institute for National Security of America – although Bolton is not Jewish.

A particularly sinister connection is Bolton’s leading role for the past ten years in something called the Gatestone Institute. This propaganda group specializes in spreading alarm about Muslims taking overreach was 87 million - and in 97 percent of all articles and blog posts the term catﬁsh was explained.

"We reached 8 million people through Twitter alone."

The campaign also won and was nominated for prestigious creative design awards including:

Shortlisted in Lovie, Websites - Website Single - Television

Shortlisted in SPINN, Mass Media Campaign of the year

Shortlisted in SPINN, Consumer Campaign of the year

Shortlisted in 100wattaren, International

While the Catfish campaign principally used the Facebook Graph Search API, a followup campaign for MTV extended the use of social media APIs to build engagement with the cable broadcaster's target audience. Dyfverman explains:

"After 'Catch Steve Angello' we actually made a follow-up campaign for MTV, this time for the TV-Show Awkward. We created a campaign called MTV


Instagram, Youtube, and Facebook. This was one of the reasons for reaching one billion people and spreading the message that more than 780 million people worldwide lack access to clean water, with 'The Sweat Machine'. It was also the solution to getting more than 35,000 people to sign up to make the UN convention on the rights of the child to become a Swedish law, in the campaign 'Escape Ends Here'."

Case Study - Escape Ends Here: This campaign used city projections to highlight the difficulties for young asylum seekers who had fled war-torn regions and unstable countries to sleep rough in Sweden. APIs were used to enable local residents to engage with the projections, learn more about these often-hidden, marginalized young people and to enlist their support byPhotos: Eight dead as truck barrels down bike path in New York

Robert Black acquired ownership in 1970, what followed was an earnest effort to build Moran into a national shipping agency, beginning with the 1975 opening of Moran-Thibodeaux in Houston, TX shortly followed by offices in Port Arthur and Corpus Christi. In 1976, Kurz-Moran of New York was formed in partnership with the Charles Kurz Company.

James A. (Jim) Black joined Moran in 1974 and was instrumental in opening the Houston office, subsequently providing the organization with his operational and marketing expertise. Michael T. Black joined his brothers in 1982 working in an administrative and sales capacity from Moran’s Headquarters in Rhode Island. Jim continued Moran’s expansion across the U.S. Gulf throughout the 80’s, including the opening of offices in key ports such as New Orleans, LA, Galveston, TX, Tampaand Fort Lauderdale, FL.

The decade of the 90’s marked significant growth as Moran acquired ownership of Boston based Patterson & Wilde Steamship Agency and full ownership of Kurz-Moran Agencies in New York/New Jersey and Philadelphia. Over the ensuing years and into the 21st century, Moran has continued to opened offices in strategic markets to meet our clients’ needs. With additional locations in Texas, Louisiana, and Florida, and the establishment of Moran-Pacific on the West Coast, the company now has 20 full service offices directly serving over 100 ports in North America.

With the retirements of F. Robert in 1985 and Michael in 2005 (who still serves as Chairman), Jim continues to guide the company as President/CEO through the dramatic industry changes that have occurred this past decade. For Moran,


Final Fantasy VII gives us some of the series most impactful characters: Cloud Strife and Sephiroth.

Cloud is part of an eco-terrorist group called AVALANCHE trying to save the world from people who are essentially mad scientists funded by the government. Unfortunately, their experiments result in Sephiroth who has sworn to destroy the planet (to save it from itself and become a God in doing so). The story has everything: love and intrigue, action and suspense, twists galore, and probably one of the greatest and most surprising moments in video game storytelling when Sephiroth kills one of the main characters early in the game.

Frank Malina: Texas Rocket Grandmaster

It’s wonderful to have my friend Al Jackson back at the top of the site with a look at the career and times of JPL’s Frank Malina. Al’s service in the Apollo program came as astronaut trainer on the Lunar Module Simulator; he then spent 40 more years at Johnson Space Center, mostly for Lockheed working the Shuttle and ISS programs. His doctorate was in 1975 from the University of Texas at Austin. The author of numerous scientific papers on interstellar concepts, Al is a fixture at deep space conferences and a continuing source of inspiration on matters scientific as well as science fictional. Today Al gives us an overview of a man who played a key role in the sounding rocket era followingWorld War II, as the infant Jet Propulsion Laboratory began its rich history of exploration and technical development.

by Al Jackson

I travel from Houston to Austin by Highway 290 fairly often, and sometimes I stop at Brenham, Texas for lunch. I skip the fast food joints on 290 and go downtown. It is a beautiful small town with a charming old downtown (founded in 1844). Only recently have I become aware that a native Texan from Brenham fulfilled a dream started by Robert Goddard, in fact doing in 10 months what Goddard had for twenty years tried to accomplish. Even more than that, he was co-founder of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, JPL, and co-founder of Aerojet General. By 1945 he had eclipsed Goddard as the most important American rocket


scientist. He was a consummate researcher in the theoretical engineering of rocketry and a master manager of several rocket and rocket vehicle projects for the U.S. Army. So who was the Texas pioneer ‘Wernher von Braun’? Dr. Frank J Malina from Brenham, Texas.

Malina was the originator and leader of a project whose anniversary is today, June 12. It is the 70th anniversary of the last launch of a Wac-Corporal sounding rocket at White Sands. We tend to forget that Robert Goddard had a solid scientific use for his development of rockets — to explore the Earth’s upper atmosphere. We all love Goddard for his inventiveness in rocket hardware and his stubborn individualism, and given time he may have realized his sounding rocket dream. However, while he struggled inthe New Mexico desert in 1936, Frank Malina, still a graduate student at Caltech, had put on the wall of his office a chart of how a successful sounding rocket project might be accomplished. Unlike Goddard, he recognized the need for a team and a choice of team captains.

Malina’s dream was interrupted by World War II. Along with his mentor Theodore von Kármán (the great 20th century aerodynamicist), he directed the development of the Jet Assisted Take Off (JATO) rockets for use by the Army Air Force. This work for the U.S. Army led to the formation of JPL, and Malina became its first director. There is a straight line heritage from the solid rocket JATO motors to the intercontinental missiles in the American defense arsenal and even


up to the Space Shuttle booster motors. His involvement in this project alone is enough to have made him a famous rocketeer.

Millikan, Dr. Martin Summerfield, Dr. Theodore von Kármán, Dr. Frank J. Malina and pilot, Capt. Homer Boushey. Captain Boushey would become the first American to pilot an airplane that used JATO (Jet Assisted Take-Off) solid propellant rockets. Credit: NASA/JPL.

In 1944 Dr. Malina was sent to England and France to inspect salvaged V2s and V1 launch sites. Returning by plane over the Atlantic, he decided to ask the Army ordnance department to fund his cherished goal ofthe Private-series of missiles. The main difference being the V2’s much larger rocket motor and especially the guidance system, which was still being researched at JPL by the end of the war.

Once the project was approved, Malina and his JPL crew turned over several ideas for the sounding rocket. It turned out that the solid rocket motors would be too heavy for the flight. They needed a long burn light weight rocket. So a liquid motor powered vehicle boosted quickly to a high speed was designed. They needed the initial boost in order to gain a sufficient amount of stability from the vehicle fins since they had yet to developed an active onboard guidance system. The booster system used some of the solid rocket technology in the JATO


of the WAC, it was estimated that the maximum altitude reached was between 230,000 and 240,000 ft. The total time of flight was about 450 sec. or 7.5 min. the velocity of the WAC at the end of the burning was about 3,100 ft per sec. The impact point of the first round was around 3,500 ft. from the launcher, which meant that the WAC had maintained a very satisfactory vertical path. Success!”

That 43 mile flight was a world record, for even the more advanced V2 had not been launched to such an altitude yet. It was an amazinggun-toting madman, who used the USPS van to continue a gore-streaked spree that began moments earlier when he shot a state trooper and fled a highway car stop.

All told, the gunman — who has thus far only been identified as a man in his 30s — killed seven people and wounded more than 20 as he drove between Midland and Odessa, where he was ultimately shot dead by cops in a movie theater parking lot.

Granados, an Odessa resident who moved with her family across the border from Juarez, Mexico when she was 14, was remembered fondly by a USPS colleague.

“She was beautiful inside and out, with a great heart and always ready to be a friend,” wrote co-worker Leslie Aide on a GoFundMe page for the benefit on


her slain colleague’s family. “[She] always had a smile on her face!”

Leila Hernandez, 15, was also fatally shot and her brother, Nathan, wounded, according to another page on the crowdfunding site set up by the siblings’ family.

Among the wounded victims were three cops — including seriously-injured Midland cop Zack Owens — and 17-month-old girl Anderson Davis, who caught shrapnel to her face and chest.Miss. withdraws from Common Core testing

Mississippi will sever its ties from the controversial Common Core testing consortium known as PARCC, according to a press release sent Friday by the state Board of Education.

The education board voted earlier to withdraw from the Partnership for the Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers consortium amid anti-Common Core and anti-PARCC sentiments by some of the state's top political leaders.

Despite withdrawing from PARCC, Mississippi still has Common Core, which it calls "Mississippi's College- and Career-Ready Standards."

Both Gov. Phil Bryant and Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves have called for a repeal of Common Core and the Common Core-aligned assessments developed by PARCC and given to students at the end of the school year.

Two bills introduced this week by Speaker of the House Philip Gunn


also propose to do away with PARCC and Common Core.

State Superintendent of Education Carey Wright serves on the PARCC board, along with the education leaders of other member states. It's unclear if she will resign from that position due to the move.

Education leaders said in the press release they will issue a request for proposals inviting other entities to provide assessments starting in the 2015-2016 school year.

"The new RFP process will give the state the opportunity to seek competitive, multi-year bids," said John R. Kelly, chairman of the Board of Education, in a press release. "Our exit from PARCC will help ensure the process is open and transparent. Any assessment vendor may submit a bid for the contract provided they meet the RFP requirements and their assessment measuresin which students on those standards via the PARCC assessments.

"The State Board of Education remains fully committed to maintaining Mississippi's College- and Career-Ready Standards," Kelly said. "This is our top priority."

Kelly and Wright previously have denounced efforts to repeal Common Core and opt out of PARCC. In a joint statement issued in December, they called the standards the highest the state has ever had and lamented the massive effort it would require to implement new ones.

And they said called PARCC the "best option to measure student performance."

"Hundreds of Mississippi educators had a hand in developing the test items, and more than 88,000 students in 513 schools and 140 districts field tested the PARCC assessment last spring," that statement said. "These tests are the only assessments in the marketplace


Elizabeth Lucar

by Eliana Greenberg

Elizabeth Lucar (1510-1537) was born in London in 1510. She was the daughter of Paul Withypoll, who afforded her a liberal education. She was schooled in needlework, mathematics, music, language (including Latin, Italian, and Spanish) and, most importantly, calligraphy. She is credited with writing the first English essay on the subject of calligraphy, A Beautiful and Curious Calligraphy, published in 1525.

Lucar believed that women should — and should be expected to — contribute to the family well-being, not only by using the practical skills which she had mastered, but also by practicing godly virtues. She considered writing and calligraphy a visual art form on par with other arts, and she was known for producing verbal and visual texts.

Lucar died in 1537 at the age oftwenty-seven, having birthed five children: Emanuel, Henry, Mary and Jane, and another daughter who did not survive childhood. Her many accomplishments are celebrated in the inscription that was placed on her tomb at St. Michael, Crooked Lane Church, in London. The inscription was written by her husband, Emanuel Lucar, and reads:

Every Christian heart seeketh to extoll The glory of the Lord, our onely Redeemer: Wherefore Dame Fame must needs inroll Paul Withypoll his childe, by love and Nature, Elizabeth, the wife of Emmanuel Lucar, In whom was declared the goodnesse of the Lord, With many high vertues, which truely I will record. She wrought all Needle workes that women exercise, With Pen, Frame, or Stoole, all Pictures artificiall, Curious Knots or Trailes, what fancy would devise, Beasts, Brids,

Dame Cunning her gave a gift right excellent, The goodly practice of her Science Musicall, In divers tongues to sing, and play with Instrument, Both Viall and Lute, and also Virginall; Not onely upon one, but excellent in all. Foe all other vertues belonging to Nature, God her appointed a very perfect creature. Latine and Spanish, and also Italian, She spake, writ, and read, with perfect utterance; And for the English, she the Garland wan, In Dame Prudence Schoole, by Graces purveyance, Which cloathed her with Vertues, from naked Ignorance: Reading the Scriptures, tooverall flight path. This kind of navigation produces a zigzagging flight path between beginning and end points, which wastes both time and fuel. Crowding problems may occur around major airports if a large number of aircraft are flying toward the same beacon. Also, small airports typically are located away from the VOR beacons, making navigation to them difficult.
Area navigation is a navigational system that permits a pilot to fly directly between any two arbitrary waypoints, thus freeing him from the requirement of flying along courses between VOR beacons and avoiding the problems discussed above. To use area navigation, one must know the aircraft's present flight position with respect to the desired waypoint. If the bearings and ranges between the aircraft and a nearby VOR, and between the VOR


and waypoint, are known, the course and range to the waypoint then can be determined using simple navigational triangles (the law of sines).
Generally the bearing and range between a VOR and a preselected waypoint may be determined from navigational maps. The VOR equipment on board can be used to estimate the bearing from the plane to the nearby VOR.
Determining the range from the plane to the VOR is more difficult. Larger aircraft have relatively expensive distance measuring equipment (DME) to determine the distance between the aircraft and a given VOR. DME sends a signal to a DME receiver at the VOR beacon, which sends a return signal to the aircraft. The aircraft DME measures the echo time, from which the aircraft's distance to the beacon may be derived.Since the 2009 coup against President JosÃ© Manuel Zelaya and subsequent election of Porfirio “Pepe Lobo” Sosa and his favored successor Juan Orlando Hernandez, Honduras has embarked on a devastating neoliberal economic program that has contributed to its status as one of the poorest and most unequal countries in the region. The privatization of Honduran society has been accompanied by a militarization of public security efforts in the country, both of which have been fueled by a network of U.S.-supported policies and programs.

Despite the country's crackdown on crime, violence in Honduras has skyrocketed in recent years. Honduras now has the world's second-highest national murder rate and is home to two of the world's five most violent cities. Unchecked gang activity has contributed to widespread corruption and impunity within


police and government institutions.

This weekend, a coalition of leftist opposition parties came together temporarily to defeat a proposed amendment to the Honduran constitution that would have given permanent status to the country's militarized police force, known as the PolicÃa Militar de Orden PÃºblico, or PMOP.

This "elite" police unit, which serves under the direct command of the presidency, is intended to support President Hernandez's heavy-handed crime reduction efforts. President Hernandez created the PMOP shortly after coming to office in 2014, with support from a legislature dominated by his conservative National Party. The Hernandez administration's police militarization efforts also had the backing of the country’s business sector.

According to one study, in 2013, only 27 percent of Hondurans expressed confidence in the civilian police while 73 percent thought the military shouldBush Sr., conservative political operative Grover Norquist, a senior member of the Cato Institute think tank, and Ronald Reagan's son Michael, as well as "a Danish banker, a Peruvian economist, and an Austrian general secretary of the Friedrich Hayek Institute."

According to the official ZEDE website, the zones place a heavy emphasis on security, offering “a 21st century, business-efficient, non-politicized, transparent, stable, system of administration, plus a special police and institutional security to overcome regional issues and meet world standards.” A new bill introduced by Hernandez minutes after losing the vote this weekend would allow municipalities and ZEDEs to request that the PMOP or other branches of the Armed Forces provide them with security services.

Honduras' continuing militarization of security efforts appears to have the backing of the United States,


generally are more afraid of the gangs than the remaining students are, because so many children admire gangsters." Arce also writes that "a 14-year-old can earn $500 a month in prostitution — more than a police officer's salary."

U.S.-backed policies in Honduras have fed a cycle of crime, violence, exploitation and abuse of vulnerable populations by state and non-state actors alike. According to the research organization Security Assistance Monitor, gang-driven "violence has been one of the primary drivers behind the surge in migration to the United States from Honduras," but ironically, "[t]he U.S. government practice of deporting thousands of Hondurans with criminal records, which began in the 1990s, has only fueled the growth of these gangs."

When these migrants, many of them women and children—along with those from El Salvador,Guatemala, Mexico and elsewhere—flee to the United States, they are routinely apprehended and "fast-tracked" for deportation. In the case of Honduras, migrants are sometimes sent back to some of the most violent cities in the world. Many women and children fleeing violence in Central America also experience abuses and violations of their legal rights at the hands of U.S. authorities if they are detained after crossing the border.

And the future doesn't appear to hold a change of course. In all likelihood, the new U.S. congress will continue to support efforts to militarize its southern border, as well as Mexico's southern border with Central America, and to "deter" migration through the use of mass detention and deportation.

militarization of Honduran society.

As Maya Kroth wrote in September for Foreign Policy, "[c]ritics worry that evidence to date — the government’s opaque approach, the ZEDEs’ undemocratic features, the cast of characters backing the scheme, and the vulnerabilities of people likely to be affected by development — indicate that charter cities would be little more than predatory, privatized utopias, with far-reaching, negative implications for Honduran sovereignty and the well-being of poor communities."

The U.S. has coupled its neoliberal economic prescriptions with its drug war security framework in other countries in the Americas, including at home, with disastrous results.

Moore was selling "hot" items professionally, from clothes and laptops to boats and cars. You name it, he had it. It wasn't until 2008, when he purchased a stolen car in a sting operation, that all of his dealings came to an end. Moore was looking at 48 years in prison.

Almost being forced to accept the rest of his life in prison, Moore's fears led him to help. He met VA Veterans Justice Program coordinator Joel Rosenthal and Outreach Specialist Herman Sally, who introduced him to benefits he didn't even know existed.

Longtime Dallas television reporter Brett Shipp has resigned to run for Congress.

Brett Shipp

(via Twitter)

Shipp, 59, will run as a Democrat in a bid to oust Republican Pete Sessions from Texas' 32nd District, WFAA-TV (Channel 8) reported. His last day at the station was Wednesday.

"I absolutely have reached my threshold of tolerance for negative discourse, toxic politics and the lack of civility. I've had enough," Shipp told The Dallas Morning News. "I cannot sit back and do nothing."

Shipp has been an investigative reporter at WFAA since 1995. According to his biography on the station's website, he has won three Peabody Awards and was the first Dallas reporter in New York after the Sept. 11 attacks.

"We are grateful for the many contributions Brett has made to WFAA and the fieldof journalism," said Carolyn Mungo, the station's executive news director.

Shipp posted a "Brett Shipp for Congress" image on his Twitter page Wednesday but locked his tweets from being viewed.

Shipp, a Dallas native, attended Highland Park High School and Stephen F. Austin State University. His father, Bert Shipp, spent 40 years as a reporter and editor at WFAA.

He plans to officially announce his candidacy at a news conference Thursday.

Dallas County Commissioner John Wiley Price laughed upon hearing that Shipp would run. The two have a history of clashes, as Shipp focused many investigative reports on Price, and in 2011, Shipp accused Price of shoving him.

"An ice cube's chance in hell," Price said of Shipp's likelihood of winning. "Name recognition is not always what it's about. One of my opponents


have to catch up with some of the leading contenders in fundraising, but his name recognition could result in his needing fewer dollars than a lesser-known candidate.

"In a crowded field, the fact that he's been on TV on a large station has gotten him a ton of earned media and name ID. The name Brett Shipp will get attention," said state Rep. Rafael Anchia, D-Dallas.

Anchia said the other contenders have been in politics longer and have public service records that they can tout to Democratic Party activists. Shipp has spent most of his career in the media.

"People are going to ask, 'What have you been doing over the years?' And he's going to have to have an answer for that," Anchia said.Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser discuss the proposed pitch clock for major league baseball and whether it will help cut down on game times. (1:42)

Cleveland Indians reliever Andrew Miller, a prominent voice in the Major League Baseball Players Association, said he hopes that MLB's plan to introduce a pitch clock in 2018 doesn't lead to a "big fight or some sort of ugly showdown,'' even though players are overwhelmingly opposed to the idea.

Miller -- who serves as one of four elected association representatives, along with Washington's Daniel Murphy, Arizona's Paul Goldschmidt and the New York Mets' Matt Harvey -- has been heavily involved in pace-of-game talks, which hit a wall Thursday when players rejected the owners' latest proposal. Barring a sudden change of course, MLB will unilaterally implement


Pro-EU parties should not feel complacent about the nationalists’ failure to win a majority in the new European Parliament, the former Italian prime minister and ex-EU Commissioner Mario Monti told EURACTIV in an interview.

The election result poses the biggest challenge for the four parties composing the pro-EU majority, Monti said. “If they breathe a sigh of relief because of the favourable outcome, populists and nationalists will highly likely get the majority in five years,” he warned.

The 76-year-old lifetime senator is well versed in Brussels affairs, having been a Commissioner in the Santer and Prodi executives in 1995-2004.

And when he came back to Brussels seven years later, it was as prime minister of a technical Italian government, called upon to address the ongoing debt crisis and the lack ofturned to leave. 'You should have left him where he was.'

'What have you done,' snapped Demetrius, breaking the silence that followed the trio's departure.

'I ain't done anything,' said Fabius angrily, and in a very liberal interpretation of the truth.

'Don't give me that, you good-for-nothing bugger. People like Scappius don't go calling for no reason.' Demetrius prodded the dead man on his table. 'And who is this?'

Aquila explained, trying to minimise Fabius's role and maximise his courage in going to the rescue of his stricken friend, but it was having no effect on the father, whose face grew darker at every word.

'I want you out of this house,' he said, pointing at Fabius as soon as Aquila had finished.

'What?!'

'You heard. What do you think Commodus and his gang are


as he's prepared for the consequences.'

Demetrius scowled. 'You seem pretty sure of yourself.'

'You have two choices, Demetrius. Either wait here for Commodus, with his brother, to visit you, or go to him and deliver my message.' The older man nodded, aware that there was no choice. 'The other thing you'll have to do is dig under your floorboards and get out some of that hidden money.'

The fat man was too frightened to ask how Aquila knew about that. 'Why?'

'To pay for our equipment, Demetrius. You wouldn't want anyone from your family turning up for service in the legions improperly dressed.'

Demetrius puffed up angrily, as if he was about to explode in protest, but he saw the look in Aquila's eye and the words died in his swollen throat.again perhaps not.' Marcellus heard the exasperated intake of breath and spoke quickly. 'He's brave, yes. A good soldier...'

'Brilliant.'

Marcellus merely nodded. 'But it's the manner of his speech that rankles. He showed Titus Cornelius scant respect.'

Gnaeus shrugged. 'He has little time for senators. He's seen too many who would steal the eyes out of your head.'

'Are those his words?'

'They are. He added that, having stolen the eyes, they'd likely come back for the holes.'

Marcellus had been quietly fuming since the conference, and he knew precisely why. Despite his anger at the way it was delivered, the advice that Aquila had given Titus was exceedingly sound. He knew the terrain, the language, and had a comprehensive knowledge of the Celt-Iberian tribes and knew how to fight them, as well.

Spanish National Health Survey (SNHS) of 2011--2012 and from the European Health Survey in Spain (EHSS) of 2014 conducted by the Ministry of Health, Social Services and Equality in collaboration with the National Institute of Statistics. The surveys used representative samples of the non-institutionalized population in Spain through a stratified multistage sampling. More detailed information on the methodology of these surveys has been described elsewhere \[[@B23-ijerph-15-01620]\]. Analyses were based on information obtained from the individual questionnaires conducted in selected households, with a sample of 21,007 adults for the 2011--2012 SNHS and 22,842 adults for the 2014 EHSS. The response rates were 71% for both surveys.

"The state cabinet chaired by Chief Minister Nabam Tuki which had its sitting on April 14 last unanimously decided to urge the Centre to repeal the Act immediately," Arunachal Pradesh Home Minister Tanga Byaling informed in a statement today.

Taking into consideration that Arunachal Pradesh has been the most peaceful state in the North East with no history of home grown insurgency, extension of AFSPA to border districts of the state in entirety is not justified at this stage, he said.

The cabinet, he said, also resolved to plead the Centre to maintain status-quo-ante as an alternative by revoking the notification and


reinstating the previous stand of extension to a 20 km wide belt in districts bordering Assam in addition to Tirap, Changlang and Longding districts.

Byaling denied the statement of Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju of having telephonic conversation with him in regard to the extension of AFSPA in all districts bordering with Assam.

He said no intelligence information was shared with the state home department in connection with the recent attack on army by armed militants at Khonsa in Tirap district leading to the death of four jawans as claimed by Rijiju.

Byaling said he had sought detailed report from security agencies and district administrations from across the state but could not ascertain the presence of any extremist hideout as claimed.

source to the load. To measure AC current differences between the supply current and the return current, the ground fault interrupter employs a toroidal magnetic circuit having a magnetic core and an equal number of supply and return coils of current-carrying wire wound about the magnetic core. The direction of current flow through these coils is designed such that the magnetic flux produced by the supply wire coils is cancelled by the magnetic flux produced by the return wire coils. A third winding is used to pick off any residual flux remaining due to differences in the supply and return currents.
The foregoing technique for measuring current differences between supply and return currents does not work for DC power supplies because the DC current generated by DC power suppliesin an Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) disposed before such Raman module.
Besides, the first pumping signal of the invention only amplifies first carrier signals in a certain spectral band corresponding to the first spectral band of the invention. Thus, other carrier signals in second spectral band(s) included in the transmission band are not amplified. Moreover, amplified first carrier signals, located very near to the limits of the first spectral band, are less amplified by the first Raman module. Such non-amplified or less amplified carrier signals still suffer from the PDL effect. Two of the spectral bands can be chosen so as to include less amplified first carrier signal(s) to provide them a better amplification.
Advantageously, the system of the invention can further comprise at least a second Raman amplifier


which sought to recover the outstanding loan from Mr. Smith to minimize Investors' damages and its own liability.  To that end, St. Paul and Batt filed a cross-petition in related litigation charging Smith with fraud.  A Kansas district court dismissed the fraud claim based on the statute of limitations, and the Kansas Court of Appeals affirmed on the same ground.  When Mr. Smith filed for bankruptcy relief, St. Paul and Batt filed an objection to his first reorganization plan, then negotiated an agreement outside the subsequently-confirmed plan, which required he repay the loan only if the state appellate court reinstituted the fraud action.

That left only one option: the NBA.

Someone once told Stevens that the pro game differed from the college ranks in that it was more of a chess match. Naturally, that challenge long had intrigued him.

He spoke with NBA coaches at basketball clinics, watched numerous NBA games, implemented the plays, and discussed the pro game with players almost daily. His father Mark even recalled that Stevens once said, “I’d like to coach in college for 10 or 15 years, then give the NBA a shot.”

Then, in late June, Stevens and his wife had sold their house and were living with his mother when a voicemail dinged on his phone. It was Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge. It seemed like a sign, Tracy said: “We


have no home, maybe the world is telling us we should move.”

The move seemed destined — for a player whose only Division 1 scholarship offer was from Larry Bird’s college coach, for a college coach whose program was greatly influenced by Bill Russell, for a Hoosier to move from the state that is the cradle of the game to the state where that very game was born.

Several notable college coaches have made the leap to the pro game and stumbled, so there is skepticism. The Celtics are a team that’s rebuilding, so there is doubt, though they gave Stevens a six-year contract, a sign of their patience.

He has no NBA experience, so there will be struggles, and he’ll have to endure losses, which to this day, Tracy said,team, Stevens was the last he’d imagine becoming a coach. He was too smart, too bound for success elsewhere.

“He’s going to make a lot more money in whatever he does than coaches could ever make,” Sollman believed.

Friends, family, coaches, former teammates, and colleagues say he is one of the rare few who would have excelled at anything because of his intellect and drive. But growing up in the basketball-steeped culture of Indiana and coaching in Butler’s Hinkle Fieldhouse, a national historic landmark that was once the largest gym in the US and was where part of “Hoosiers” was filmed, all but ruined him for anything else.

He is all-ball, a Hoosier in search of anything with a scoreboard, who no longer plays as an outlet for his ultra-competitiveness but

The new channel will be owned and operated by SBS but will be programmed with content from the US-Canadian media company Vice. It is a free-to-air channel that will be available on television and online platforms.

SBS2 was launched in 2009. In 2013 it rebranded with a younger focus and an orange logo, as well as a flagship program, The Feed, hosted by Marc Fennell.

The managing director of Vice Australia, Michael Slonim, said the partnership would “help catapult Vice further into the consciousness of young Australians”.

“SBS shares our storytelling sensibilities and curiosity about the world, and we’re delighted to be partnering up to bring Viceland to this market in the biggest way possible,” he said.

The


global media company announced this year it would launch in more than 50 new countries, including many in the Middle East and Africa, and expand services in existing markets including Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

The SBS managing director, Michael Ebeid, said “exploring diversity through culture” was at the heart of SBS’s purpose, and Vice would bring some of the best available content from across the world.

The programming is yet to be revealed but the channel will continue to feature SBS2 shows such as The Feed as well as Vice shows on culture, music, sport, fashion and technology.

Viceland, created by the director Spike Jonze, was launched in the US this year with programs including Gaycation (with Ellen Page and Ian Daniel), Huang’s World (with Eddie Huang), Noisey (with ZachJim Myers

The (Nashville) Tennessean

NASHVILLE -- Apparently, Nashvillians love the idea of a deer steak on a bun.

The Arby's on Rosa Parks Blvd. sold out of venison sandwiches on the first day, effectively ending a promotion that was scheduled to continue through Nov. 3. The Nashville store was the first of 17 locations in the country to offer the venison sandwich special.

"We stuck a nerve, in a good way, with hunters," said Luke DeRouen of Arby's, confirming that the Nashville location went through more than 250 sandwiches in 5 hours. "Some people drove from an hour away to try it," he said.

The promotion now moves to Atlanta later in the week and then on to Wisconsin and Minnesota.

The venison comes from farm-raised red deer in New Zealand because the


Approval for extensive demolition works at the site of a former convent in Brisbane’s inner north has been sought by a property developer.

The development on the 3.8-hectare site was approved in 2017 and now the developer is seeking permission to start demolition on the site.

Property records show Dunlop Property, a subsidiary of Cedar Woods, purchased the property from the Sisters of Mercy for more than $27 million in December 2015.A gay rights group is demanding an apology from Newsweek magazine for a recent story that the group says suggested gay actors can't play straight characters -- an article that one actor dubbed "horrendously homophobic."

"An actor's personal life should not be a factor in their believability in a role," said Jarrett Barrios, president of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. "That would be tantamount to audiences not buying Ashton Kutcher and Katherine Heigl as lovers in their upcoming film 'Killers' because the two are happily married to different people in real life."

GLAAD spokesman Rich Ferraro said the magazine has not offered the apology sought by the group, but that the topic was discussed with Barrios and Dustin Lance Black, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of "Milk," during a Q&A


with Newsweek on Wednesday. He said he believed that discussion would be published in the next issue.

Some Hollywood stars blasted the magazine and writer Ramin Setoodeh for an April 26 story that said it was OK for straight actors to play gay roles, but "it's rare for someone to pull off the trick in reverse." The writer defended his piece after he faced an onslaught of criticism in a second piece on May 10.

In the story, Setoodeh criticized Sean Hayes' latest leading-man performance on Broadway, writing that the openly gay actor "comes off as wooden and insincere, like he's trying to hide something, which of course he is."

Ryan Murphy, creator of the hit Fox series "Glee," called for a boycott of the magazine until it apologizes to itsgay readers, Hayes and "and other brave out actors who were cruelly singled out in this damaging, needlessly cruel and mind-blowingly bigoted piece."

Kristin Chenoweth, who stars opposite Hayes in "Promises, Promises" on Broadway, defended her co-star and denounced the Newsweek article in a letter to the editor.

"No one needs to see a bigoted, factually inaccurate article that tells people who deviate from heterosexual norms that they can't be open about who they are and still achieve their dreams," she wrote.

Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, however, defended the magazine and its writer in an essay published Wednesday by The Huffington Post website.

Sorkin blamed the tabloid-fueled drive to know every detail about performers' personal lives and the institutionalized homophobia found in the American military, and national marriage and adoption laws.

Early Theocracy

Indoctrination through compulsory schooling originated early in the nation’s history. Massachusetts Bay Colony was organized unabashedly as a theocratic government that required citizens to adhere to stipulated religious beliefs. In 1642 the Massachusetts General Court passed an act requiring compulsory education of children and giving town selectmen the authority to maintain orthodox teaching and punish recalcitrant parents. The civil government was in charge of the schools, which were supported by taxes. R. Freeman Butts and Lawrence A. Cremin wrote, “Here was the principle that government had authority to control schools, and it was well enunciated in the New England colonies early in their histories. It was a principle of great importance, for it set a precedent in American life establishing the authority of the state topromote education as a public and civil matter.”[2]

However, private schoolmasters were in business in Boston by the mid-1660s, according to records examined by Robert Francis Seybolt. The number of private teachers gradually enlarged to the end of the seventeenth century, partly in response to market demand. He wrote, “The two public schools [in Boston] . . . admitted only boys who were at least seven years of age and had learned to read. Girls as well as boys were welcome, at any age, in the private schools.”[3]

In the 1700s in New England, Butts and Cremin noted, private schools flourished as “colonial legislatures showed a slackening of effort to require compulsory education and gave greater freedom to private groups to educate children in schools of their own preference.”[4]

A wide


by the swelling tide of nationalism of the early 1800s. Proponents of common schools, or tax-funded elementary schools requiring compulsory attendance, viewed them as crucial vehicles for indoctrinating young people in Americanism. The movement intensified as immigration increased from continental European cultures that lacked democratic traditions. Benjamin Labaree, president of Middlebury College in Vermont, expressed popular fears in an 1849 lecture before the American Institute of Instruction. He asked, “Shall these adopted citizens become a part of the body politic, and firm supporters of liberal institutions, or will they prove to our republic what the Goths and Huns were to the Roman Empire?”[7]

Wartime Indoctrination

Chauvinistic indoctrination becomes a useful tool of the state in wartime, as when President Woodrow Wilson created the Committee on Public Information (CPI) to buildthe needs of the United States as a world leader. . . . The combination of the war and the new national spirit opened the door for the federal government to exercise leadership in a national educational policy. Included in Bagley’s proposals was a call for federal financing of the public school system.”[10]

During the 1920s, local schools suffered for being dominated by the wrong kinds of people on their boards, according to public-school champion George S. Counts. His research showed that “for the most part, [board members] are drawn from the more favored economic and social classes. They are also persons who have enjoyed unusual educational advantages. . . . No longer is the ordinary American community homogeneous as regards interests, philosophy, and ideals. Hence the need of

When Angela Gossow, the legendary singer of Arch Enemy, announced that she was stepping down as the singer of the band, she shook the metal community to its core. Although Arch Enemy had established themselves as an important player in Swedish Melodic Death Metal from their very beginnings, it is undeniable that Angela had been fundamental in transforming them into the massive band they have become, so her departure (even though she would continue working behind the scenes) could even be seen as a threat to this status.
In order to avoid speculation, the band immediately announced that Angela‘s replacement would be Alissa White-Gluz, of The Agonist. Although famous in her own right, Alissa‘s mission was anything but challenging; she

Best Places to Visit in Egypt

Pyramids of


Giza

Sole survivors from the ancient Greek-listed Seven Wonders of the World, the amazing Pyramids at Giza are the planet’s oldest tourist attraction. Known as Cheops, Chephren and Mycerinus, the pyramids were already more than 2,000 years old when Herodotus the Greek historian visited them (5th century BC). A highly skilled corps of mathematicians, masons, surveyors and stonecutters did the job of building the Pyramids. 100,000 slaves were used to carry out the backbreaking task of moving and laying the stones of the largest pyramid-Cheops. About 2.5 million limestone blocks, quarried locally and weighing in excess of 6 million tonnes, were used in the construction of Cheops.

To date 138 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt. Most were built as tombs for the country's Pharaohs and their consorts during theOld and Middle Kingdom periods. All Egyptian pyramids were built on the west bank of the Nile, which as the site of the setting sun was associated with the realm of the dead in Egyptian mythology. The Pyramids contain a maze of passage ways, designed to protect the Mummies of the Pharaohs and the treasure which they would take to the afterlife.

Karnak & Luxor Temples

Second in popularity only to the iconic pyramids, the temples of Karnak and Luxor are some of the most striking relics of ancient history in the world. The Karnak complex is made up of four distinct sections, of which only the Amun-Re precinct is open to the public. The Amun-Re part of the complex consists of numerous, intricate temples, columns and an obelisk. The


Luxor temples, which were built around 1,400 BC are equally, if not more, magnificent and overall form an exceptionally significant part of Egypt’s history as they were the site where many of the country’s kings were crowned. The site contains a plethora of sandstone structures, ranging from statues of gods and pharaohs to impressive murals and friezes. It goes without saying that no trip to Egypt is complete without exploring the ancient grounds on which these temples sit.

King Tut Exhibit, Egyptian Museum

Discovered intact in 1922 by Howard Carter, the Tomb of Tutankhamun is possibly one of the most dazzling archaeological finds ever. Tutankhamen lived over 3,300 years ago during the New Kingdom period. For two centuries, Egypt had ruled as a world superpower, while its royal family livedan opulent lifestyle. The powerful priesthood of the god Amun had controlled vast temples and estates. Amenhotep IV (Akhenaten) -Tutankhamun’s father renounced the multitude of gods worshipped by the Egyptians, abolished the priesthood and established a new order to worship the sun god Aten and changed his own name to Akhenaten, meaning 'servant of the Aten.'

Upon the death of Akhenaten, Tutankhaten (Tutankhamun) became king at the age of 9yrs. He ruled for a very short time and died in 1325 BC of somewhat mysterious causes. After 70 days, King Tut’s mortuary tomb was sealed and remained untouched until Carter’s astonishing find. King Tutankhamen’s solid gold funerary mask and his priceless cache of treasures entombed with him for his journey to the afterlife, are now on display at the

Karnak & Luxor Temples

Second in popularity only to the iconic pyramids, the temples of Karnak and Luxor are some of the most striking relics of ancient history in the world. The Karnak complex is made up of four distinct sections, of which only the Amun-Re precinct is open to the public. The Amun-Re part of the complex consists of numerous, intricate temples, columns and an obelisk. The Luxor temples, which were built around 1,400 BC are equally, if not more, magnificent and overall form an exceptionally significant part of Egypt’s history as they were the site where manyof the country’s kings were crowned. The site contains a plethora of sandstone structures, ranging from statues of gods and pharaohs to impressive murals and friezes. It goes without saying that no trip to Egypt is complete without exploring the ancient grounds on which these temples sit.

Hurghada

Founded in the early 20th century, the Red Sea resort of Hurghada took on a growth explosion thanks to tourism in the 1980s. The Hurghada of today comprises three main centres and numerous self-contained tourist villages. To the north, lies Ed-Dahar, which hosts than half of the total local population, and some of Hurghada’s more expensive hotels, restaurants and the tourist bazaar. A couple of kilometres south, between Ed-Dahar and New Hurghada lies Sigala, perhaps less popular than Ed-Dahar. Still further south


temple of all ancient Egypt with its gargantuan rock-cut façade, the great Sun Temple of King Ramses II at Abu Simbel was created to revere the mighty pharaonic ruler King Ramses II. Guarding the entrance to the temple and hewn into the side of a mountain are four famous colossal statues of the pharaoh himself. In a fit of precision and architectural egotism, Ramses II had the entire temple carefully angled and oriented in order that the sun’s rays would align twice a year on his date of his ascension to the throne (21 February) and on his birthday (21 October) and illuminate the inner sanctum of the temple. This incredible natural phenomenon provides for a most spectacular sight, which has come to be referred to as theSun Festival of King Ramses II. Arriving to the temple before sunrise sunrise, you'll witness the shafts of light slowly creeping through the rock hewn inner Hypostyle Hall (replete with further statues of the king) and through to the Sanctuary. Significantly, the sun illuminates statues of Amun-Re, Re-Herakhte and Ramses the god, whilst the statute of Ptah - the god of darkness - remains in the shadows.

Over the centuries, the desert sands imperceptibly shifted until the temple was all but lost to humanity. It was rediscovered by chance in 1813 by a Swiss explorer John Lewis Burkhardt who saw just the smallest tip of a pharaoh's head peeking above the desert sands. It was not until the British happened upon Abu Simbel and starting excavating, that the full


glory of the temple of Abu Simbel was revealed to the modern world. Famously, the temple was re-located in a multi-million dollar operation in 1972, further up from the shoreline of Lake Nasser, which had threatened to erode the foundations of this monolithic temple complex. For this reason, the sun now strikes a day later than Ramses had originally planned, though the event itself is no less stunning.

Alexandria

Brimming with history, Alexandria was founded by the legendary Alexander the Great and is a fascinating city sitting on Egypt’s north coast, lapped at by the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. While it has come a long way since being founded around 2,300 years ago, its former glory still shines through and is mixed with elements of modernity, creating a unique ambiance thatand sampling the restaurants along the corniche is a good bet. Head out by boat to Agelika Island to explore the Temple of Philae belonging to the Ptolemaic and Roman periods. The largest monument of the island is the temple of Isis - occupying about one quarter of the island. The walls are covered with scenes of Ptolemic kings and Roman emperors performing daily and ritualistic ceremonies. Later, when this temple became a church, Christians added their crosses to the stones. The laid-back Nubian town itself is also a highlight for visitors as it is overflowing with colourful markets, spicy aromas, Pharaonic and roman ruins and antiquity from the ancient land of Nubia.

El Alamein

Best known as the site of some of the most brutal battles of the Second


World War, El Alamein has become a site of pilgrimage for people wishing to pay their respects to those lost during the fight. When Germany set its eyes on the Suez Canal, the Allies knew they had to defeat their troops or risk a serious blow to their ability to acquire supplies. After the death of 80,000 soldiers, the battle came to an end and the Allies reigned victorious, making the event one of the most decisive moments of the war as a whole. Over 70 years down the line, the rows of graves in the various war cemeteries are a permanent reminder of the tragic loss that each country involved sustained. Yet, El Alamein is not just a sombre relic of the past with its glorious beaches,The Changing Faces of New York City, as Seen Through One Tribeca Building

In 1984, when Susan Rosenberg Jones moved into a one-bedroom New York City apartment in Tribeca, her rent was roughly $700 a month.

Usually, that line is great at cocktail parties, with a mention of either having been fortunate to find a great deal or a melancholic reminder that things have vastly changed. In this case, it’s a bit of both.

Rosenberg Jones is currently living in a two-bedroom apartment in the same building, part of three high-rise towers called Independence Plaza North. Built in the 1970s and intended for luxury rentals, the complex was ushered into the Mitchell-Lama program since few people were willing to live in Tribeca at the time. Mitchell-Lama was created to provide affordable

It would immediately recall baseball's Steroid Era, where every feat of strength was viewed with skepticism.

But the path to HGH approval could follow that of caffeine, a substance that was identified as a performance enhancer decades ago and was formally banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency and the International Olympic Committee in 1984. Subsequent testing revealed that the performance enhancing-effects only occurred at above a certain threshold and the ban was lifted in 2004. The previously banned asthma drug formoterol followed a similar path to approval after a therapeutic dose was deemed safe for usehan: »Jag hoppas att ni snart är klar med det här, konstapel Starling.«

Hon skyndade sig mot den väntande bilen.

Ardelia Mapp hade lagt Starlings post och en halv chokladkaka på hennes säng. Mapp sov.

Starling tog sin skrivmaskin med sig in i tvättrummet, ställde den på arbetsbänken och matade in papper. I huvudet hade hon i bilen tillbaka till Quantico sorterat sina anteckningar om _Erebus odora_ och hon skrev det snabbt ur sig.

Så åt hon upp chokladkakan och skrev en PM till Crawford, där hon föreslog att man skulle köra alla entomologiska tidskrifters prenumerationsregister mot FBI:s brottsregister och registren från de städer som låg närmast de platser där flickor bortförts, plus alla register över sexförbrytare och andra brottslingar i Metro Dade, San Antonio och Houston, de områden där dessa malar

Nu var det hon som körde, mitt i natten. Hon hade tid att tänka. Hon kunde känna skräcken som en pust i nacken; det var andra, färskare minnen som nu trängde sig på.

Starling var rädd att Catherine Baker Martins kropp skulle ha påträffats. Buffalo Bill hade kanske gripits av panik när han kom underfund med vem hon var. Han hade kanske dödat henne och gjort sig av med kroppen med en insekt i halsen.

Kanske Crawford hade insekten med sig för att få den identifierad. Varför ville han annars träffa henne på Smithsonian? Men vilken polis som helst kunde ta en insekt till Smithsonian, ett bud från FBI kunde klara det. Och han hade bett henne att packa för två dagar.

Hon kunde förstådoktor Lecter sade: »Det ser ut som ett grässtrå i ett granathål, inte sant?« Men det var för sent för Raspail att svara.

Doktor Lecter kunde minnas varje ord och ännu mycket mer. Behagliga tankar att fördriva tiden med medan man gjorde rent i hans cell.

Clarice Starling var skarpsinnig, tänkte doktorn. Hon skulle kanske kunna ta Jame Gumb bara med vad han berättat för henne, men det var inte säkert. För att hinna ta honom i tid skulle hon behöva fler detaljer. Doktor Lecter kände sig övertygad om att när han väl fick läsa detaljer om morden skulle han automatiskt komma på några spår – något som sannolikt skulle ha något att göra med Gumbs yrkesutbildning på uppfostringsanstalten sedan han dödat sina morföräldrar. Han skulle ge henne Gumb i


Det var gott om plats här, en soffa och några stolar, och på det överlastade skrivbordet stod en dataterminal vid sidan av ett antikt astrolabium. Mattan kändes som om den lagts direkt på betong. Crawford visade henne på en stol.

Han lade handen över luren. »Starling, jag vet att det är skitsnack, men gav ni Lecter någonting i Memphis?«

»Nej.«

»Inget föremål?«

»Ingenting.«

»Ni hade med er teckningarna och allt det andra från hans cell.«

»Jag gav det aldrig till honom. Jag har det fortfarande i min handväska. Han gav _mig_ mappen. Det var det enda som passerade mellan oss.«

Crawford klämde fast telefonluren under hakan. »Copley, det där är rena skitsnacket. Jag vill att du ska sätta dit den jäveln nu genast. Direkt till chefen, direkt till undersökningsbyrån. Se till att heta linjen fårdunket från tvättmaskinen i doften av blekmedel, tvättmedel och mjukmedel. Starlings bakgrund var psykologi – Mapps var juridik – men det var ändå Mapp som förstod att tvättmaskinens rytmiska dunkande var som ett pulserande hjärta och att dess forsande vatten var vad den ofödde kan höra – vårt sista minne av frid.

# Kapitel 58

JACK CRAWFORD vaknade tidigt på soffan i sitt arbetsrum och kunde höra sina släktingars snarkningar i huset. I detta fridfulla ögonblick innan dagens allvar började tänkte han inte på Bellas död utan på det allra sista hon sade till honom, lugnt och med klar blick: »Vad är det som händer ute på gården?«

Han tog Bellas fröpåse och gick i morgonrock ut och gav fåglarna mat som han hade lovat att göra. Han skrev en lapp


i.e.: "hope, empathy, optimism, attachment, and social support". Negative forces include, for example, "verbal abuse, stigmatization, or affective distortions". Positive political forces are equitable resource distribution, human rights, maintenance of democracy, and access to civic participation, whereas negative forces include "oppression, exploitation", each of these being dependent on institutionalized power inequalities.

Transformational validity

Transformational validity measures the extent to which interventions use both politics and psychology to create structural change within society. Studies and interventions with high transformational validity are, for example, ones that promote psychopolitical literacy, educate on overcoming oppression, empower individuals and groups take action against injustice, and advocate for coalition building.

Transformative validity also takes into account how positive and negative political and psychological forces can be changed through action.

Definition: "Transformational validity … is concerned with theWashington (CNN) At a time when President Donald Trump seems to permeate nearly every aspect of American discourse, it might come as a surprise that the first movie from Barack and Michelle Obama's production company, Higher Ground, never mentions him by name.

But subtlety is part of the power of "American Factory," the new Netflix documentary that charts the reopening of a factory in Dayton, Ohio. Over the course of two hours, the movie, directed by the seasoned documentarians Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert, serves as a quiet historical and political corrective, offering their portrait of the state of America's industrial heartland and prodding viewers to rethink who, exactly, is part of the American project.

"American Factory" starts on December 23, 2008, as a crowd gathers to learn that the


General Motors plant in Dayton has shuttered. The movie then fast-forwards to 2015, when the plant reopens as a new enterprise, as Fuyao Glass America, the American arm of a Shanghai-based company that manufactures automotive glass. One man makes Fuyao's expanded mission crystal clear: "What we're doing is we're melding two cultures together: the Chinese culture and the US culture. So we are truly a global organization."

As some critics have pointed out, "American Factory" is, in important ways, a commentary on the unpredictability of globalization; a New York Times review frames the movie as underscoring "the new global haves and have-nots."

But it's also much more than that. The movie arrives at a moment when the Trump White House continues to make vociferous, bold claims about the state ofof these games where we outshoot our opponents, and he's stayed sharp throughout."

The two teams combined for 12 penalties totaling 27 minutes. The Huskies killed off all five LSSU power plays to bring the weekend total to 11-for-11. Tech was 3-for-7 on its power play tries.

Jake Lucchini opened the game's scoring with his fourth goal of the season—all coming on the power play. Auk and Matt Roy worked the puck over the top of the zone to Lucchini who buried the 11th of his career 5:25 into the game.

Diego Cuglietta tied it for LSSU 7:00 later. Gage Torrel gave the Lakers a 2-1 lead 2:57 into the second.

It was the only meeting of the season between the two teams. Tech has now defeated LSSU five straight times and

His Skype and email and mobile number has been blocked for international calls. The only way to communicate with the guy is personal visits to Beijing or public messages online at various forums. Thus far four honest RCMP have tried to help him tell his story but were stopped by former PM Harper's political machine. Two senior DEA agents also tried to expose all this. This "Open Letter" was posted a few months ago but nothing more is known.Former FBI agent Terry Nelson and Jeb Bush must be billionaires by now. Gorcyca says they smuggled cocaine into Canada for more than 15 years and "made Pablo Escobar" look


like an amateur. In his book Gorcyca interviewed former smugglers and narco bankers George Morales, Johnny Molina, Rene Benitez, Gary Betzner, Alberto Duque, etc. He alos worked quietly inside American Financial Group for two years and gave the FBI three boxes of evidence that Bush had done business with General Manuel Noriega and over 100 U.S. officials had Panama Bank accounts with Morgan & Morgan. This is most worth reading IMO:

Former FBI Supervisor Ted Gunderson publicly exposed his FBI agent colleague Terry Nelson in 1998. U.S. Treasury Agent Bruce Gorcyca reported him to FBI Miami Station Chief Paul Miller in 1991, but former CIA pilot Chp Tatum said he met him at the Florida Bush family home, and that explains why he never went to jail - formore than two days. He was actually caught with a plane load of cocaine in 1997 in Saskatchewan with a Canadian named Mike Huxtable, who has since become a ghost, but was last seen at a PM Stephen Harper fund raiser dinner two years ago - so as of 2014 he was still alive. As for Nelson, he lives quietly at his Key Biscayne mansion in Florida and Montreal mansion (homes valued at more than 20 milliion)Thanks to a whistle blower now exiled in China and other witnesses in hiding (following the murder of Nelson's former front man Atty. Stephen J. Finta) we are now learning that Nelson's ring operated with logistical support of American and foreign military bases, had three full-time pilots flying weekly loads at times


of 4 tons per week. Revenues exceed $1B per year, and according to the exiled whistle blower, the proceeds were being laundered on Wall Street through both large securities firms and banks like HSBC, Goldman Sachs, as well as small government front boutiques like the now-defunct American Financial Group. See:The whistle blower took over 10 years to document everything in a book, but did not know his emails were being monitored and FBI agents stormed his mother's Ohio home and seized the manuscripts at gunpoint. Five witnesses were present. The men then went to Canada to seek safety and sanctuary and a lawyer named Marshal Drukarsh in Toronto filed a refugee claim on his behalf. Only days later the U.S. government announced the man was being sought forextradition yet no details of a crime, nor an indictment could be produced. See:A video and audio tape of the corrupt Nelson was then sent to FBI Director Mueller and Senator Hillary Clinton with the below letter, and FEDEX confirms the packages were received. Reportedly, no reply was returned by either party even though Senator Clinton, as Senator of New York should have done her duty and order an investigation into the Wall Street money laundering. Her failure to do so is probably due to her friendship with the Goldberg brothers.

Roth's was founded by Herman C. Jochimsen and Orville N. Roth on August 5th, 1962 when they opened their first store in Silverton, Oregon. Roth's brand of customer service, cleanliness, product quality and community involvement made possible the opening of the first of five Salem-area stores only three years later. Another serving McMinnville was opened in that first decade.

Roth's expansion continued in the 1980's with stores in Independence, and four more in Salem. A relocation and expansion of the McMinnville operation started in 1994, a new location in Stayton in 1996, and the purchase of an existing supermarket in the Hayesville area of Salem in 1998.

Today, Roth's has 9 supermarkets in the Mid-Willamette Valley. The vision of Orville's son and president of the company, Michael Roth is


are as follows. On September 8, 1992, Watson, along with Randy Ball, Carl Dixon, and Clarence Carter, robbed a Federal Armored Express Truck near the corner of Flournoy and Cicero in Chicago. During the course of the robbery, Watson hit a security guard on the head with a bottle of orange juice to subdue him. After the robbery, the thieves set fire to all the checks and cigarette tax stamps that they had recovered from the truck. The remaining loot was divided among the robbers.

Early in the morning on September 16, 1993, FBI Special Agent Ronald Hosko and Chicago Police Detective Robert Branum went to Watson's house to question him about the robbery. The agents then took Watson to a local police station where they continued to questionhim. After about an hour and a half, the agents drove Watson to the scene of the crime where they questioned him some more. Watson claims that he asked for an attorney in the car on the way to the crime scene. Finally, the agents took Watson to the Dirksen Federal Building, where he ultimately signed a waiver of rights, a written confession, and a cooperation agreement, although he does not recall signing the cooperation agreement.

5
The parties disagree about when Watson was given his Miranda rights, but they agree that it was not until they reached the Federal Building, four hours after Hosko and Branum began questioning Watson. Hosko claims that he advised Watson of his Miranda rights before Watson signed the waiver of rights. He recounts that


once the waiver was signed, he and Watson prepared a written confession memorializing everything that Watson had told him. He says that he reviewed the statement with Watson before Watson signed it. Hosko and Assistant U.S. Attorney Krulewitch then prepared a cooperation agreement, which they also reviewed with Watson. The agreement stated that Watson acknowledged that he was not seeking the assistance of counsel. Watson signed the agreement.

6
For his part, Watson claims that he was not Mirandized until after he signed the waiver and confession. He also claims that he did not provide the police with the information that was contained in the confession, and that he only signed the confession because the police told him that he would be allowed to go home if he did. Finally,Watson claims that Hosko told him that he would be arrested if he got an attorney.

7
Several days after Watson signed the confession, a warrant was issued for his arrest. When Hosko and Branum attempted to arrest Watson, he drove straight at them, forcing them to jump out of the way in order to avoid being run over. Watson then led police on a high speed chase through a residential neighborhood, speeding through stop signs and red lights and driving the wrong way on a one way street. The police ultimately abandoned the chase because of the danger it posed to the public. Shortly thereafter, Watson came to the Federal Building with his lawyer and surrendered.

Watson proceeded to trial before a jury beginning on April 2, 1997. The government


29, 1997, the lower court sentenced Watson to 181 months of imprisonment. This appeal followed.

II. Discussion
A.  Suppression of Confession

12
On reconsideration of Watson's motion to suppress, Judge Williams found that Watson was not credible and that he had not asked for a lawyer prior to signing the cooperation agreement. Therefore, she held that Watson's Fifth Amendment rights had not been violated and that his confession was admissible. Watson challenges this holding solely on the grounds that it was improper for Judge Williams to make a new determination about his credibility when Judge Duff had already found that he was credible. Citing this Court's decision reversing Judge Duff's suppression order, Watson claims that we remanded his case solely to allow the government to introduce his statements as impeachment evidenceAthletics News

LUBBOCK, Texas -
Texas Tech officials have announced that Kirby Hocutt will become the next director of athletics at Texas Tech University. He will succeed Gerald Myers who announced his retirement from the post last fall.

Hocutt will become the school's 13th athletics director.

"We are pleased that Kirby Hocutt has accepted our offer to become the next athletics director at Texas Tech University," said Texas Tech University President Dr. Guy Bailey. "There are a few small details to be worked out but we have an agreement in principle. We are excited about the future of our athletics program and look forward to his leadership. This is a great day for Texas Tech Athletics."

The 38-year old Sherman, Texas, native, comes to the Red Raiders after spending the last three years


as athletics director at the University of Miami.

"This is a great day for Texas Tech University and for the future of all 17 of our intercollegiate sports," said Texas Tech University System Chancellor Kent Hance. "Kirby (Hocutt) is a visionary in the business of college athletics and we believe that he will grow our athletics department into one of the best in the country, making the Red Raiders a household name."

Details of a formal news conference will be announced at a later time. A complete release, including a biography, will be made available on the day of his official news conference.had way too much to drink was trying to find his way back to his hotel. For some reason, he stopped in front of the Clarence Mitchell Jr. Courthouse in downtown Baltimore.

A George Armstrong Custer feeling must have swept over the guy, because, as the video shows, a mess of black folks soon surrounded him.

One of them, a butt-ugly, scandalous, scantily-clad, fourth-rate hoochie, bent over and started grinding her hips into the white guy’s crotch. Several of the black guys stood around, openly talking about robbing the white guy, who was a tourist from Arlington, Va.

The white guy tried to move away from the hoochie, but one of the dudes went into his pocket, apparently taking something. As the black guy walked away, the white guy followed.

Bad move.
