from the
Standard Eurobarometer measures and queried respondents on the
following topics: (1) cultural values, (2) poverty and social
exclusion, (3) developmental aid, and (4) residential mobility. For
the first major focus, cultural values, the survey asked respondents
questions pertaining to the meaning and importance of culture, their
interest and participation in cultural activities, and their national
identity. The respondents were also asked to identify cultural values
for Europe as well as other countries, about the importance and
promotion of cultural exchange, and whether they would learn a foreign
language. For the next major focus, respondents were asked to evaluate
their personal financial situation and that of people dwelling in the
vicinity of their homes, and to ascertain why people fall into poverty
or are excluded from society. They were also asked why people become
homeless, the likelihood that they, themselves, wouldGMS has impacted students and to know how to better prepare minority students for college, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has commissioned a survey of recipients. The survey was distributed to Cohort 1 (award year 2000), Cohort 2 (award year 2001), Cohort 3 (award year 2002), Cohort 5 (award year 2004), and Cohort 9 (award year 2008). Cohorts are composed of both recipients and non-recipients. Non-recipients are defined as individuals who were asked to go on to the scholar confirmation/verification phase, but did not become a scholar for one or more reasons. This is an ongoing survey with the fifth, and final, follow-up occurring 18 years after high school around the age of 36. The survey included questions that address the topics of (a) social, cultural, linguistic,

total number of children in family, how much respondents spent on
clothing, food, and books and supplies for students, other loans taken
out, when respondents started saving for their children's college
expenses, and what type of savings accounts they used. The
NPSAS-Student Loan Recipient Transcript Survey was designed to gather
postsecondary school transcripts for the GSL recipients who were
surveyed in the SLRS. The Transcript Survey utilized four levels of
inquiry: student, transcript, term, and course. In order to update
records on GSL recipients, postsecondary institutions attended by
former loan recipients were surveyed. The survey contacted all types of
institutions, including public, private nonprofit, and private
for-profit two- and four-year institutions, along with schools offering
only occupational programs of less than two years. Data were collected

In 1935, the principal investigators interviewed a national
sample of all families in the United States to ascertain for the first
time in a single national survey the earning and spending


habits of
inhabitants of large and small cities, villages, and farms. Families
completed questionnaires that reported in detail all household income
sources and expenditures. Respondents were asked to list the amount of
all income received by the family from each person employed as well as
from other sources such as gifts, interest and dividends, pensions,
and work in the home. Complete information was also provided on family
composition, type of living quarters, housing accommodations, fuel and
other utility expenses, medical care, recreational activities, tobacco
use, purchase of reading materials, educational expenses,
miscellaneous occupational expenses, gifts furnished, taxes paid,
automobile expenses, personal care costs, and a detailed appraisal of
all changes in family assets and liabilities over the course of the
previous year. Families also reported the quantity of food items
consumed, unit purchase price, and total expense of all food items
consumed bythe family in the seven days prior to the interview. In
addition, families were queried on furnishings and equipment purchased
for the home as well as on all items of clothing purchased for each
family member in the previous year. Demographic characteristics
recorded for each household member include relationship to the
household head, age, sex, occupation, weeks spent at home or away from
home, wage rate, length of time employed during the year, and total
earnings.

the 1940s, these surveys have been produced quarterly through 1977 and monthly thereafter. The surveys conducted in 2012 focused on topics such as evaluations and expectations about personal finances, employment, price changes, and the national business situation. Opinions were collected regarding respondents' appraisals of present market conditions for purchasing houses, automobiles, computers, and other durables. Also explored in this survey, were respondents' types of savings and financial investments, loan use, family income, and retirement planning. Other topics in this series typically include ownership, lease, and use of automobiles, respondents' use of personal computers at home and in the office, and respondents' familiarity with and use of the Internet. Demographic information includes ethnic origin, sex, age, marital status, and education.

Diaries, or daily expense records, were placed with consumer units in
order to obtain data not collected by the Interview Survey on small,
frequently purchased items which are normally difficult to recall over
longer periods of time. These include purchases of food, alcoholic
beverages, tobacco and smoking supplies, personal care products and

economic conditions and price activity, as well as the respondent's own
financial situation. Other questions examined the spending unit head's
occupation, and the nature and amount of the spending unit's income,
debts, liquid assets, changes in liquid assets, savings, and actual
and expected purchases of cars and other major durables. In addition,
questions were asked about housing and home ownership. The
subject of emphasis in this survey was the respondent's means of
saving, with questions on investment preference, amount of
present holdings in postal savings, credit unions, and savings
accounts, whether respondent had a regular plan for savings, and
attitudes regarding saving versus spending or investing. The 1948
survey included a separate questionnaire for farmers that contained
differing questions on sources of income. Personal data include number
of people in the spendingsince 1946. In a nationally
representative sample, the head of each spending unit (usually the
husband, the main earner, or the owner of the home) was interviewed.

in the Florida State League. However, he’s just 20 and he’s coming off a .329/.376/.466 season in the Midwest League. Baseball America has placed him as the game’s 33rd and 36th best prospect in his two years since being drafted. If not Almore than Billy McKinney, the other prospect the Cubs picked up from the A’s, could be the man here. The 19-year-old McKinney, a 2013 first-rounder, was hitting .241/.330/.400 as one of the youngest players in the California League.

Right field: Baez might make the most sense in right if Alcantara pans out and Bryant stays at third. Possessing perhaps the best raw power in the minors, he’s overcome a dreadful start to hit .240/.307/.430 as a 21-year-old in Triple-A this year. The other possibility here is Cubandefector Jorge Soler. He’s battled injury problems since signing a nine-year, $30 million contract two summers ago, but he still has a lot of power potential himself. When healthy, he’s hit .298/.368/.487 with 14 homers in 386 at-bats during his minor league career.

Brewers’ right-hander Phil Bickford received a 50-game suspension after testing positive for a drug of abuse, per the Los Angeles Times’ Bill Shaikin. This is the second time Bickford has been suspended for recreational drug use, as he was previously penalized in 2015 after testing positive for marijuana prior to the amateur draft.

Bickford was selected by the Giants in the first round of the 2015 draft and was later dealt to the Brewers for lefty reliever Will Smith at the 2016 trade deadline. He finished his


United's first attack, but Pantilimon palmed his header to safety from Fleck's cross following a short corner on the right.

In the 13th minute, United through Clarke came even closer, but in the second phase, with Fleck again the provider, the striker headed wide with the goal at his mercy. The Blades continued to make the running, with Evans firing over from a promising position on the edge of the box. Next to have a go was Fleck, who almost wrong-footed Pantilimon.

With the clocking ticking to half-time and with the visitors not clearing their lines, Evans floated an effort narrowly over the bar. In response, Blackman was down smartly to his right to deny Cash, who had stolen the ball off Stevens high up the pitch. Fox became thefirst booking of the game before the break, following a tangle with Blackman, as the Blades stopper looked to launch a counter attack.

The first action of note in the second-half sees Pantilimon save from Baldock's cross, with the goalkeeper picking up a knock in the process. At the other end, Blackman saved the Blades twice in as many minutes, denying Dowell with an excellent low stop, before parrying an effort from Murphy round the post. The game had really opened up and this time the Blades were on the attack, but Duffy fired over.

On the hour, Wilder made a change, with Brooks replacing skipper Sharp. An unfortunate slip from Evans saw Forest break, but Murphy shot into the side netting from Brereton's pass. A second substitution promoted a


change of formation, with Holmes replacing Leonard.

As the final ten minutes approached, following a clearing of snow from the pitch, Blackman was again required, the time to deny Brereton, with Stearman deny Colback. United's final change, saw Donaldson replace Duffy.

Five minutes of added time were signalled, as the snow began swirling round the Lane again. Fleck stung the palms of Pantilimon, before being booked for challenging Tomlin. But despite the efforts of both sets of players to beat the freezing conditions and find a goal, it ended all square.(23 Jul 2012)

A series of bombings across the Iraqi capital city of Baghdad, aiming at Shi’ite dominated areas, has killed at least 77 people and wounded over 140. ISIS claimed credit for the largest attack, in al-Shaab, and is suspected in several others.

The al-Shaab attack killed 41 and wounded 70, while another suicide car bomb in nearby Sadr City killed another 30 and wounded 57 more. A subsequent bombing in the southwest al-Rasheed neighborhood killed six more.

This is the second major round of ISIS attacks against the capital city in less than a week, after major bombings Wednesday killed at least 96.As with those bombings, there is a growing sense of impatience among many in Baghdad after today’s attacks.

Johnathan Taylor and Buddy Lamothe may never play baseball again because of injuries that left them partially paralyzed.

That didn't matter to the teams that picked them Wednesday during final day of the Major League Baseball draft.

Georgia outfielder Johnathan Taylor, a 33rd-round pick of the Texas Rangers, and San Jacinto College reliever Buddy Lamothe, the Houston Astros' 40th-round selection, were both seriously injured recently.

Taylor broke his neck in March during a game when he collided with teammate Zach Cone, the Rangers' supplemental-round pick Monday.

Texas director of amateur scouting Kip Fagg said the team's selection of Taylor was "something we felt was right."

Lamothe was injured last month in a diving accident in San Marcos, Texas.

Ryan Giggs played 963 games for Manchester United and was manager Louis van Gaal's assistant at Old Trafford

Manchester United and Wales legend Ryan Giggs says he is interested in the Leicester and Everton manager jobs.

Both clubs are without bosses after Leicester sacked Craig Shakespeare last week and the Toffees fired Ronald Koeman on Monday.

Giggs was Louis van Gaal's number two at Old Trafford, and was interviewed for the job at Swansea in 2016.

"For me these are clubs I would be interested in," 43-year-old Giggs told Sky Sports.

"I think you look at those two teams, Leicester being champions two seasons ago, Everton being a fantastic club with a fantastic history.

"However, there are a lot of coaches out there who would be interested inthose positions."

Giggs is not thought to be in contention for the job at Everton, while Leicester made a winning start under caretaker boss Michael Appleton as they beat Swansea 2-1 at the Liberty Stadium.

However, one bookmaker has Giggs listed at 12/1 for the Leicester job, with Wales manager Chris Coleman 6/1 and Claude Puel the 4/7 favourite.

Giggs has not been involved in top-class football since Van Gaal's dismissal in May 2016, with the Welshman finally ending a 29-year association with United in July 2016.

Giggs decided to take a sabbatical from football but has always said he intends to get into management with an ambitious club.

"I've said all along that I'd be open to clubs which share the ambitions of myself," he said.

"I want to improve clubs and improve


players, to enjoy working for them and for players to enjoy the challenge.

"There are clubs in the Premier League which would be good jobs but also in the Championship and League One.

"It's more about the philosophy for me than the stature of the club."consolidated".

President Juan Manuel Santos last month ordered bombing raids on rebel camps to be suspended, but the government has so far refused to enter into a bilateral ceasefire.

The government argues that during the last peace negotiations a decade ago, the guerrilla used the cessation of hostilities to re-arm and re-group.

The two sides have been engaged in peace negotiations in Havana since November 2012.

Their aim is to put an end to more than 50 years of conflict during which more than 200,000 people have been killed.

Agreement has been reached on three out of five main topics on their agenda: land reform, political participation by the rebels if a peace deal is


reached and drug trafficking.

Farc negotiators first declared a unilateral ceasefire in December 2014, but clashes resumed in April with the killing of 11 soldiers and subsequent bombing raids on rebel positions.

The peace process

November 2012 - Formal peace talks begin in the Cuban capital Havana between the Colombian government and the Farc.

May 2013 - A deal is reached on land reform, one of the most contentious issues. It calls for fair access to land, and rural development, two key causes of the conflict.

November 2013 - The two sides agree on the political participation of the Farc should a peace deal be reached.

May 2014 - Both parties pledge to eliminate all illicit drug production in Colombia.

December 2014 - Farc declares a unilateral ceasefire.

The present invention is in the field of devices used to subject portions of a blood vessel to nuclear radiation to prevent restenosis of the irradiated area after performance of an angioplasty procedure.
A common problem after performance of a percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty is the restenosis of the treated area. In fact, restenosis occurs in 30% to 50% of cases. Restenosis occurs, at least in part, as a result of vascular smooth muscle cell migration, proliferation, and neointima formation at the site of the angioplasty. It has been shown that intracoronary delivery of ionizing radiation causes focal medial fibrosis, which when delivered at the site of the angioplasty, impedes the restenosis process. Adjacent coronary segments and the surrounding myocardium are undamaged by the irradiation treatment.
Delivery of theVery rich are leaving the merely rich behind - Business - International Herald Tribune

A decade into the practice of medicine, still striving to become "a well regarded physician-scientist," Robert H. Glassman concluded that he was not making enough money. So he answered an ad in the New England Journal of Medicine from a business consulting firm hiring doctors.

And today, after moving on to Wall Street as an adviser on medical investments, he is a multimillionaire.

Such routes to great wealth were just opening up to physicians when Glassman was in school, graduating from Harvard College in 1983 and Harvard Medical School four years later. Hoping to achieve breakthroughs in curing cancer, his specialty, he plunged into research, even dreaming of a Nobel Prize, until Wall Street reordered his life.

Just


how far he had come from a doctor's traditional upper-middle-class expectations struck home at the 20th reunion of his college class. By then he was working for Merrill Lynch and soon would become a managing director of health care investment banking.

"There were doctors at the reunion - very, very smart people," Glassman recalled in a recent interview. "They went to the top programs, they remained true to their ethics and really had very pure goals. And then they went to the 20th-year reunion and saw that somebody else who was 10 times less smart was making much more money."

The opportunity to become abundantly rich is a recent phenomenon not only in medicine, but in a growing number of other professions and occupations. In each case, the great majorityand so is financing education, particularly at one's alma mater.

"It is astonishing how many gifts of $100 million have been made in the last year," said Inge Reichenbach, vice president for development at Yale University, which like other schools tracks the net worth of its alumni and assiduously pursues the richest among them.

Glassman hopes to enter this circle someday. At 35, he was making $150,000 in 1996 (about $190,000 in today's dollars) as a hematology-oncology specialist. That's when, recently married and with virtually no savings, he made the switch that brought him to management consulting.

He won't say just how much he earns now on Wall Street or his current net worth. But compensation experts, among them Johnson Associates, say the annual income of those in his position is


easily in the seven figures and net worth often rises to more than $20 million.

"He is on his way," said Alan Johnson, managing director of the firm, speaking of people on career tracks similar to Glassman's. "He is destined to riches."

Indeed, doctors have become so interested in the business side of medicine that more than 40 medical schools have added, over the last 20 years, an optional fifth year of schooling for those who want to earn an M.B.A. degree as well as an M.D. Some go directly to Wall Street or into health care management without ever practicing medicine.

"It was not our goal to create masters of the universe," said James Aisner, a spokesman for Harvard Business School, whose joint program with the medical school started lastmeans of redistributing the nation's wealth than higher taxes on the rich. They argue that higher marginal tax rates would discourage entrepreneurship and risk-taking. But some among the newly rich have misgivings.

Mark M. Zandi is one. He was a founder of Economy.com, a forecasting and data gathering service in West Chester, Pa. His net worth vaulted into eight figures with the company's sale last year to Moody's Investor Service.

"Our tax policies should be redesigned through the prism that wealth is being increasingly skewed," Zandi said, arguing that higher taxes on the rich could help restore a sense of fairness to the system and blunt a backlash from a middle class that feels increasingly squeezed by the costs of health care, higher education, and a secure retirement. The Federal


Real estate developers and lawyers are more in evidence today among the very rich. So are dot-com entrepreneurs as well as scientists who start a company to market an invention or discovery, soon selling it for many millions. And from corporate America come many more chief executives than in the past.

Seventy-five percent of the chief executives in a sample of 100 publicly traded companies had a net worth in 2004 of more than $25 million mainly from stock and options in the companies they ran, according to a study by Carola Frydman, a finance professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sloan School of Management. That was up from 31 percent for the same sample in 1989, adjusted for inflation.

Chief executives were not alone among corporate executives infrom wealthy investors who provide much of the capital.

By his own account, Moon, like Glassman, came reluctantly to the accumulation of wealth. Having earned a Ph.D. in business economics from Harvard in 1994, he set out to be a professor of finance, landing a job at Dartmouth's Tuck Graduate School of Business, with a starting salary in the low six figures.

To this day, teaching tugs at Moon, whose parents immigrated to the United States from South Korea. He steals enough time from Metalmark Capital to teach one course in finance each semester at Columbia University's business school. "If Wall Street was not there as an alternative," Moon said, "I would have gone into academia."

Academia, of course, turned out to be no match for the job offers that came


Moon's way from several Wall Street firms. He joined Goldman Sachs, moved on to Morgan Stanley's private equity operation in 1998 and stayed on when the unit separated from Morgan Stanley in 2004 and became Metalmark Capital.

As his income and net worth grew, the Harvard alumni association made contact and he started to give money, not just to Harvard, but to various causes. His growing charitable activities have brought him a leadership role in Harvard alumni activities, including a seat on the graduate school alumni council.

Starting out, Glassman's $150,000 a year was a bit less than that of his wife, then a marketing executive with an M.B.A. from Northwestern. Their plan was for her to stop working once they had children. To build up their income, she encouraged him to set up or join a medical practice to treat patients. Glassman initially balked, but he was coming to realize that his devotion to research would not necessarily deliver a big scientific payoff.

"I wasn't sure that I was willing to take the risk of spending many years applying for grants and working long hours for the very slim chance of winning at the roulette table and making a significant contribution to the scientific literature," he said.

In this mood, he was drawn to the ad


that McKinsey & Company, the giant consulting firm, had placed in the New England Journal of Medicine. McKinsey was increasingly working among biomedical and pharmaceutical companies and it needed more physicians on staff as consultants. Glassman, absorbed in the world of medicine, did not know what McKinsey was. His wife enlightened him. "The way she explained it, McKinsey was like a Massachusetts General Hospital for M.B.A.'s," he said. "It was really prestigious, which I liked, and I heard that it was very intellectually charged."

He soon joined as a consultant, earning a starting salary that was roughly the same as he was earning as a researcher - and soon $100,000 more. He stayed four years, traveling constantly and during that time the family made the move to Short Hillsfrom rented quarters in Manhattan.

Glassman migrated to Merrill Lynch in 2001, first in private equity, which he found to be more at the forefront of innovation than consulting at McKinsey, and then gradually to investment banking, going full time there in 2004.

Linking Security to Income

Casey McCullar hopes to follow a similar circuit. Now 29, he joined the Marconi Corporation, a big telecommunications company, in 1999 right out of the University of Texas in Dallas, his hometown. Over the next six years he worked up to project manager at $42,000 a year, becoming quite skilled in electronic mapmaking.

A trip to India for his company introduced him to the wonders of outsourcing and the money he might make as an entrepreneur facilitating the process. As a first step, he applied


to the Tuck business school at Dartmouth, got in and quit his Texas job, despite his mother's concern that he was giving up future promotions and very good health insurance, particularly Marconi's dental plan.

His life at Tuck soon sent him in still another direction. When he graduates next June he will probably go to work for Mercer Management Consulting, he says. Mercer recruited him at a starting salary of $150,000, including bonus. "If you had told me a couple of years ago that I would be making three times my Marconi salary, I would not have believed you," McCullar said.lower intersection amplitude and an amplitude of the second encoder output signal is outside the range; and (b) tracking movement of the structure based upon the second encoder output signal when the amplitude of the second encoder output signal is within the range and the amplitude of the first encoder output signal is outside the range.
In another aspect, a method for tracking movement of a structure involves producing a first encoder output signal of varying amplitude. A second encoder output signal of varying amplitude is produced, the second encoder output signal out of phase with the first encoder output signal, the amplitude of the first encoder output signal and the amplitude of the second encoder output signal repeatedly intersecting over time near an upper intersection amplitude and a


lower intersection amplitude. For a defined direction of the encoder, four cycle segments are defined, including: a first cycle segment during which the amplitude of the first encoder output signal falls within a range defined by the upper intersection amplitude and the lower intersection amplitude and the amplitude of the first encoder output signal is increasing; a second cycle segment during which the amplitude of the first encoder output signal falls outside the range and the amplitude of the second encoder output signal is increasing; a third cycle segment during which the amplitude of the first encoder output signal falls within the range and the amplitude of the first encoder output signal is decreasing; and a fourth cycle segment during which the amplitude of the first encoder outputsignal falls outside the range and the amplitude of the second encoder output signal is decreasing. Movement of the structure is tracked based upon the first encoder output signal during the first cycle segment and the third cycle segment. Movement of the structure is tracked based upon the second encoder output signal during the second cycle segment and the fourth cycle segment.
In a further aspect, an analog encoder system for tracking movement of a structure includes a first encoder output providing a first encoder output signal and a second encoder output providing a second encoder output signal. The first and second encoder output signals vary in amplitude as the structure moves, the first and second encoder output signals are out of phase with each other, and the first


and second encoder output signals repeatedly intersect each other. A controller receives the first and second encoder output signals and tracks movement of the structure based upon the first encoder output signal when an amplitude of the first encoder output signal is within a range defined by an upper intersection amplitude and a lower intersection amplitude and an amplitude of the second encoder output signal is outside the range. The controller tracks movement of the structure based upon the second encoder output signal when the amplitude of the second encoder output signal is within the range and the amplitude of the first encoder output signal is outside the range.
In still a further aspect, an analog encoder system for tracking movement of a structure includes a first encoder outputencoder output providing a first encoder output signal and a second encoder output providing a second encoder output signal. The first and second encoder output signals vary in amplitude as the structure moves, the first and second encoder output signals are out of phase with each other, and the first and second encoder output signals repeatedly intersect each other. A controller receives the first and second encoder output signals and tracks a fine position of the structure by repeatedly switching back and forth between monitoring of the first encoder output signal and monitoring of the second encoder output signal.

Understanding frictional duality and bi-duality: Sb-nanoparticles on HOPG.
Antimony nanoparticles deposited under UHV conditions on HOPG are found to exhibit an intriguing frictional behavior characterized by a distinct clearly separated double dual behavior of dependence of the frictional force on contact area. We present the first realistic simulations, density functional modeling adapted to accommodate van der Waals interactions, of the (double) dual frictional behavior. The simulations provide insights into the physics/chemistry of all the frictional branches in terms of incommensurable interfaces, mobile spacer molecules as well as a novel concept of mobile oxidized multi-nanoasperities.


In a press conference at 6 p.m. this evening, Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter declared a state of emergency for the City of Philadelphia as Hurricane Irene approaches the area.

"This could be the worst storm event to hit the Philadelphia area in 50 years," Nutter said.

It is the first state of emergency issued in Philadelphia since 1986, when Mayor W. Wilson Goode declared it in racially troubled southwest Philadelphia.

Nutter also added that local residents should expect lengthy power outages after the storm.

"Due to the severity of this storm," Nutter said, "people should expect power outages of a week, 10 days or even two weeks."

Nutter said he signed the declaration at 5:30 p.m, following similar declarations in New York City, Baltimore and Washington.

Daryl Colyer, investigator with the Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy, shares a similar account.

This investigation was conducted as a result of an incident that allegedly occurred in Rusk County, Texas in 1983.

The witness remembers the experience vividly and was quite open and candid during the interview. The witness described the event as happening while he was playing with toy cars on the floor of his grandmother's living room. His grandfather, the victim of a very recent automobile accident, was sleeping on the sofa. The front door was open and the witness could see onto the front porch and into the front yard through the screen door.

The witness remembered seeing, as dusk fell, just


on the other side of the screen door on the front porch, a curious creature that resembled "a small ape - stocky but bipedal," with "reddish-brown hair." Thinking back, the witness reckoned that the height of the subject was "no more than three or four feet." The subject stood there watching the witness as he played with his toy cars. The witness did not remember being cognizant of anything relating to gender, but did remember that its face seemed "like an ape," and that it had "expressive eyes." He went on to say, "As far as I could tell, it was a kid."

After a few seconds had passed, the witness stood up and walked over to the screen door. He now stood within an arm's length from thesubject; it seemed to be more curious about the car that the witness held in his hand than with anything else. The witness remembered no discernible odor, except perhaps a subtle, "animal smell" (much like a dog or cat) and he had no memory of notable, pervasive feelings during the experience other than curiosity.

After a few seconds of studying the subject through the screen door (the whole encounter lasting perhaps 30 seconds), the witness ran into the kitchen with the hope of bringing his grandmother into the living room. When the witness returned to the living room with his grandmother, the subject had departed. The witness's grandmother did not believe him and admonished him not to "tell stories." He tried to convince her of what he had seen,


while grandfather slept deeply on the sofa, but the grandmother would not accept it.

The next day, having a feeling of generosity and wanting to share his toys, the witness took the toy car with which he played when he first encountered the creature, and left it in the yard - as a gift and gesture of friendship. He never saw the little toy again, and believed that the "small bigfoot" absconded with it. The witness went on to say that he has no memory of tracks or any other physical evidence and that he was simply too young to have thought of such things.

Moon. And after a decade of effort, man finally succeeded in reaching his neighbor in the sky.

Our landing on the Moon has been called man's greatest adventure. It has been described as, "the greatest scientific, engineering and exploratory challenge in the history of the human race." Ironically, it may prove to be more. The true makeup of this alien world could be the key to the very mystery of man himself!

For another story is lurking here that remains largely unknown - not only the strange encounters of American astronauts with an unknown alien presence on the Moon (as documented by NASA files ), but the even more startling untold scientific account of the real nature of this strange lunar world.

"The unexplainable event began as the Apollo 11 spacecraft approached the Moon, and the astronauts began hearing weird radio noise, variously likened to a fire-engine, loud sirens, buzz-saw sounds and train whistles, which interfered with the space communication hookup. Mission Control was so perplexed they asked: You sure you don't have anybody else up there with you? "

Reps. Jared Huffman (D-CA) and Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) introduced the measure, which is the first stand-alone bill the House of Representatives has passed to protect the sacred Arctic Refuge.

This bill would restore protections that were stripped when the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act mandated oil and gas leasing, development and production on the coastal plain of the Arctic Refuge. Oil industry allies in Congress used the Tax Act to circumvent normal legislative channels and insert Arctic Refuge drilling into legislation using an expedited process.


Approximately 70 percent of Americans oppose development in the Arctic Refuge, according to a number of recent polls.

Drilling in the Arctic Refuge threatens the lives of Indigenous Peoples, the survival of countless species, and one of the most special landscapes in the United States. The Arctic Refuge contains the greatest biodiversity of any protected area north of the Arctic Circle. It provides vital habitat for the Porcupine Caribou Herd, which uses the unique coastal plain ecosystem to bear and rear its young. The Gwich’in people have depended on the Porcupine caribou for thousands of years and call the coastal plain “Iizhik Gwats’an Gwandaii Goodlit” (The Sacred Place Where Life Begins). Protecting the caribou is a matter of basic human rights for the Gwich’in and the Iñupiat communities thatWhen a company writes a white paper they send out a press release to get as many news sites as possible to mention the report in their own stories.

In December, Mr. Schultz announced a reorganization plan intended to stabilize TEVA’s financial situation and reduce its expenses, which included significant asset divestment and the layoffs of 25% of Teva Pharmaceutical’s employees by 2019.

TEVA stock jumped by 11% in February after 13F filings revealed that Berkshire Hathaway, the corporate conglomerate led by billionaire investor Warren Buffett, took a $358 million stake in the pharmaceutical company. Unfortunately, for investors hoping the position means TEVA was hand-selected by Buffett himself, Buffett told CNBC in February that he knew little about TEVA and was not the one at Berkshire who has been doing the buying. TEVA stock lost nearly two-thirds of its value over the past three years.

But at the October sitting of the court, the committee chair will ask Tynwald to approve appointing three temporary members to carry out the investigation.

Four of the members were ministers when the restructuring of the Island's investment in film took place, one's husband is a partner in a firm which advised over the issue, and the sixth is a member of the Department for Enterprise.


A decade after she killed a Calgary teenager by shoving him between two C-Train cars, Natalie Pasqua, 36, is heading back to jail for brutally assaulting a woman who had to be hospitalized for more than 10 days following the attack.

After drinking together in July 2016, a group including Pasqua began driving around in the victim's car.

Pasqua repeatedly beat the woman, who was in the back seat, including punching her over and over and digging her fingers into the victim's eyes. At one point, she had another woman hold the victim down as the attack continued.

"When you are intoxicated, you are a violent menace," provincial court judge Paul Mason said to Pasqua.

Victim 'played dead'

Eventually the victim "played dead" until she was able to fling herself from the movingvehicle.

"[The victim] was intoxicated, injured, confused and frightened," reads the agreed statement of facts.

Nearby homeowners called 911 for the injured woman who was taken to hospital by ambulance. There, nine lacerations to her face, head and legs had to be stitched up. She was also suffering corneal abrasions.

Defence lawyer Adriano Iovinelli told the court Pasqua is addicted both to methamphetamine and alcohol.

Pasqua pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm and theft of a motor vehicle. She also faced charges of kidnapping and robbery, but prosecutor Pam McCluskey withdrew those counts as part of the plea deal.

Mason accepted McCluskey and Iovinelli's joint submission of 15 months in jail. With credit for time she's already spent behind bars, Pasqua has four months remaining on her sentence.

C-Train killing

In 2007, Pasqua shoved


Gage Prevost,17, off the C-Train platform at Eighth Street S.W. in between two train cars over a $10 drug deal.

She received just over five years in prison in 2009 for that killing, but had already been in prison for over three years and only had two left to serve.

Months after Pasqua's release, she again faced charges, this time for drugs. She has spent her entire adult life in and out of jail.

"You are clearly on almost what appears to be an installment plan of life in prison," said Mason. "I can only sit here and urge you with all of the passion I can exhibit to please grab on to a treatment facility.

"Good luck."Unjustly Jailed Azerbaijan Blogger Faces New Charges

Azerbaijan authorities know no limits when it comes to silencing government critics. As everyone was celebrating the New Year, Azerbaijan authorities were busy pressing new charges against one of the country’s most popular anti-corruption bloggers, Mehman Huseynov.

Huseynov has been serving a 2-year prison sentence after he was prosecuted for defaming an entire police station in Baku, because he publicized abuse he’d suffered there. On December 26, two months before his prison term was to end, the authorities brought new, spurious charges, claiming Huseynov resisted and physically assaulted a guard. If convicted, he could face seven more years in prison.

Huseynov vehemently denies the charges and went on a hunger strike in protest. He told his lawyers, that on December 26, during a routine

The improvements engineered by defensive coordinator Todd Bowles and his staff were actually quite significant once you look deeper into the numbers.

In 2018, the Buccaneers were 31st (6.1) in yards per play allowed, 19th in sacks (38), and 22nd in takeaways (17). They finished dead last in defensive DVOA both in 2018 and 2017 including 31st and 30th finishes in pass defense and 19th and 31st against the run. This season? They were 12th against the pass and first against the run by a wide margin.

The fact that this was done largely with rookies (Sean Murphy-Bunting, Jamel Dean, and Mike Edwards) and players that played under the previous regime (Jordan Whitehead, Carlton Davis, and Andrew Adams) patrollingthe secondary makes it even more remarkable.

It’s no wonder Todd Bowles has been mentioned as a hot candidate for head coaching vacancies this offseason. A team looking for an experienced candidate and a quick turnaround on defense will likely have him on their radar and for good reason.

As for the defensive personnel, the team is poised to return several starters including key components Vita Vea and Devin White, along with five of the seven defensive backs that led the team in snaps played in 2019. The losses include Vernon Hargreaves III and, potentially, Andrew Adams.

The team also intends to extend Lavonte David, who recently was elected to the NFL All-Decade team. They reportedly consider him to be a critical element of the team’s current and future success.

The FBI wants to exempt its burgeoning national database of fingerprints and facial photos from a federal law that gives Americans the right to sue for government violations of the Privacy Act, such as refusing to tell a person if he or she is in the system.

The bureau also wants to shield its data storehouse from other Privacy Act rules, including one that lets people ensure that the information the government holds about them is accurate.

The proposed exemptions, published in May in the Federal Register, have stirred objections from an array of privacy and civil rights advocates. They say that such carve-outs remove a critical check on the use of the huge database in criminal investigations.

In particular, they are concerned about the bureau's deployment of still-developing facial recognitiontechnology to identify potential suspects. Such technology, they say, may have lower accuracy rates for black people, young people and women. And they worry that it could be misused to track protesters at political rallies.

"The Privacy Act was enacted to ensure that individuals had an enforceable right to know the records that the government keeps about their activities," said a coalition of groups in a letter to the Justice Department, whose 45 signatories include the American Civil Liberties Union, Amnesty International, the National Immigration Law Center and the ride-sharing services Uber and Lyft. "This is an extraordinarily broad proposal, and the system it affects is extraordinarily sensitive -- particularly for the communities it may affect the most."

But the FBI and Justice Department say the reason they are seeking

Bedoya said that the federal rule cited by the FBI and Justice Department that enables a person to obtain his criminal record is less effective than the Privacy Act, which requires the federal government to respond promptly to citizens' requests for corrections. The cited regulation leaves that job to the states "and allows that process to go on indefinitely," he said.

The Toronto Sun’s loss is the province’s gain.

James Wallace, vice-president of editorial and champion of Sun news brands, has accepted the position of deputy chief of staff and policy for Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government.

Known in the news room as Jamie, he has been with Postmedia since 2008.

Prior to being the Sun’s top executive, Wallace was editor-in-chief of Postmedia Editorial Services and was a Queen’s Park columnist for Osprey Media from 2003 to 2008. He began his career as a reporter for the Toronto Sun 30 years ago.

“The first time I walked through the doors of the Toronto Sun, way, way back in 1989, I thought I was the luckiest kid from my journalism class. Turns out I was right,” Wallace wrote in a message to Sun staffthe Milky Way they saw the shape of a Scorpion, as if emerging from a crack, its ‘stinger’ raised, ready to attack. In the ancient world it was thought that the dark crack from which the Scorpion was seen to emerge from, was an opening into the Underworld. The Milky Way, to the ancients, wasn’t just a host of stars, it was the seed ground, where souls originated. It was from the Milky Way that the spirit of man descended into the material realm.

It was said that the Scorpion was placed in the skies as a reward for slaying Orion as he was about to slay Taurus, the Bull. Artemis, who we met in Cancer, was the Goddess of the Moon, a hunter. She had brought the Scorpion


the earth, to its death.

Of all the stories surrounding Orion, the one that gives Scorpio rulership over sex and passion, is that of Eos.

In the story of Eos we find an erotic tale. Eos is the goddess of dawn and personifies the concept of promiscuity. It was Eos that brought the rejuvenation of erotic longings at the start of each day. She was to be found in the beds of both men and gods alike. ‘Rosy fingered’, her name was called when she rose each day to greet her brother Helios, the Sun. Some say Eos took a liking to Orion. It is said that the reason Artemis sent the Scorpion to kill Orion was that he had pursued one or all of the Pleiades where he intendedif dancing) until a suitable spot is found.

The Scorpion has been central to both death and sexual rituals right back into the deepest past of many cultures, especially the Egyptians.

In terms of symbolism, the Scorpion is a symbol of wisdom, self destruction and death. The Egyptians maintained that when the Sun entered the sign of Scorpio, it marked the beginning of a period ruled by Typhon, a destroying demon or devil. It was he that devoured the Sun on its journey into winter.

Even the season of Scorpio personifies this dark aspect. When the Sun passes through the Constellation of Scorpio, the year itself begins its journey into its darkest phase. It is the beginning of the long, dark days of winter.

One aspect of the Scorpion nature is said


much larger than previously thought, therefore explaining away Neptune’s behaviour.

But Percival Lowall, at the Lowall Observatory in Arizona, didn’t know these assumptions (it would be many years before Bodes Law was disproved) and was wrong. His team of scientists trained their telescopes on the area of sky, these now erroneous presumptions pointed to, as being the most likely place to find the missing planet. That’s exactly where Pluto was found. The reasons for looking at that area of the sky were totally wrong, but they found the most important astronomical find of the 20th Century.

When scientists finally named this planet, after lots of deliberation, they chose Pluto. Pluto was a name in keeping with the rest of the planets, in that it was named after Ancient Gods &Pluto’s mysteries will remain hidden. Just like the Scorpion.

Scorpio – The God

Pluto is the Roman name for the Greek God, Hades, Lord of the Underworld. Before the age of the Olympian Gods, an age that gave birth to the astronomy and mythology that were the parents of astrology, Titans ruled the world. Zeus and his brothers took part in an epic battle to overthrow the ‘old order’, symbolised by their father ‘Cronos’ the last of the Titans. Olympians were victorious and after the battle, rulership of the sea, skies and underworld were given to the victorious brothers Hades, Zeus and Poseidon. They drew lots and Hades received Tartarus, the underworld. Zeus got the skies and Poseidon the seas. The earth was given rulership to all. Cronus had imprisoned


the Cyclops and the ‘hundred handed ones’ in Tartarus. Zeus released them and in gratitude gave Zeus the thunderbolt, Poseidon the trident and Hades the mask of invisibility. It is this mask that enabled Hades to walk upon the earth and not be recognised. One of the most powerful stories in Greek mythology is the ‘rape of Persephone’ (see Virgo). Wearing his mask of invisibility, while thundering through the land in his chariot he came upon Persephone, swooped her into the chariot and through a chasm that opened in the earth, carried her into the underworld to be his Queen.

The underworld was a place that all souls went upon death. The ferryman carried them across the river Styx. The relatives of the dead placed a coin under thethat did is one of the most endearing in Greek Mythology, Orpheus. Orpheus was the most famous poet and musician who ever lived. Apollo himself gifted him his lyre and the Muses taught him to use it. He took it with him when he went as one of Jason’s Argonauts on his epic quest, where his music got them out of many scrapes. It is said that the earth itself danced to his music. His wife Eurydice died after being bitten by a snake while trying to ward off the sexual advances of Aristaeus. Orpheus boldly went down to Tartarus where his music charmed the ferryman, Cerebus, the three headed dog and it is even said that his music tamed and soothed the savage heart of Hades himself.


Hades said that Eurydice could return with Orpheus under one condition that he mustn’t look back to see if his wife was following until they were back under the light of the Sun. At the last moment, just as Orpheus could see the sun ahead, he turned to see if Eurydice was following. She immediately turned to stone and was lost to him forever.

Scorpio – The Season

Scorpio is the middle sign of the autumn triad. Therefore, it is a fixed sign that autumn is at its height. Being a fixed sign it is also only interested in the here and now. It is the beginning of the earth’s journey into the long dark days of winter. The days are starting to become cold and damp. The autumn equinoxTag Archives: Adam Sandler

the more relaxed, funny and chill conversations we’ve ever had in the year-plus history of this show, Sandler talks about how far he thinks his Jets are going, his belief in Mark Sanchez and his run-in with Tom Brady, who thought Sandler was a Patriot fan because of his New England roots. Before getting to his movie, Sandler drops some news about his next still-untitled film coming out next summer: Jets coach Rex Ryan is in it. And he plays a Boston lawyer who, yes, likes the Patriots. Give a listen. And also please go see “Jack and Jill,” which premieres next Friday on November 11th.

And then we throw open the studio doors for the return of the Legend of the Booth himself – Jim Brockmire. Again, ifyou don’t know the story of Jim, please check on the short documentary that “Funny Or Die” put together about his stellar decades-long Hall of Fame career that came to a screeching halt with an ill-advised, cheating wife-related meltdown on the air. Last month, Jim chose my podcast as the place from which to kick-start his career comeback and the result was awe-inspiring. He nailed the narration of the Plays of the Month of September so it was a no-brainer to have him back on to deliver the Plays of the Month of October for this show and for NFL.com. Please give him all the encouragement he needs to keep on going and use the momentum to get himself back in the game.

I started this podcast at the outset of the 2010 season because I thought there was a space in which to connect with the NFL Network fan base and have a conversation about the NFL and the entertainment world in one sitting. And I was rewarded with four years of stupendous football chatter involving fascinating figures from the gridiron and guests from across the TV, movie and music spectrum. Best yet, it did in fact get me closer to myriad football fans worldwide. I can not thank you enough for your passionate listenership. Please follow the show with us into the new horizon.

chosen to complement the selected indices and statistics at the national level, was an online survey, deployed to gather information from a variety of Latin American researchers and stakeholders.

The online survey was disseminated via email (in two calls, 30 days apart from each other) from November to December 2017 while using Google Forms. The sample was based on those who took part in the survey out of their own will. Consistent with good academic practice and based on the need to adhere to data protection procedures, the study was anonymous.

The survey instrument was composed of 14 questions (12 closed questions and two open questions) that aimed to characterize the perceptions on climate change, risk, and extreme events impacts, on human wellbeing and health in mainland LA countries. Thewere developed after a deadly landslide occurred in February 2002 with a death toll of 63 persons plus 14 missing persons, in addition to the losses and damages to habitat, roads, and water supply and sanitation services. In February 2011 another extreme rainfall occurred, which activated the Early Warning and Risk-mapping System (EWRMS), allowing for prompting the evacuation of inhabitants at risk, which prevented the loss of human life due to the landslide. The first preparedness and response differences with the event of 2002 were: (i) the communication did not fail (in 2002 phone cell lines were impacted); and (ii) the existence of an operational EWRMS \[[@B54-ijerph-15-01802]\].

The countries with the fewer direct impacts on human wellbeing are the ones with the best human, socio-economic, and vulnerability indices, the highest per capita expenditures in Public Health, particularly those with the highest public spending, namely Chile, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Panama, Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, and Mexico.

However, despite the relatively high health investments (regarding their GDP) of highly exposed countries, such as Honduras and Nicaragua, the combination of the frequent occurrence of extreme weather events, high climatic and geographical exposure, and poor development, determine their very high (in absolute and comparative terms) vulnerability and direct human impacts.

Various studies have outlined sets of adaptation measures, which may assist countries in Latin America and elsewhere to handle the adverse impacts of climate-sensitive disasters on human wellbeing and health.Munster's Guinness PRO14 fixture details have been confirmed for the latter stages of the season.

Pulling double or triple duty is nothing new for Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger. In addition to his membership in the multi-platinum Los Angeles band -- which is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year -- Einziger has become a hot commodity in the dance world, first appearing on the Avicii crossover hit "Wake Me Up" and later David Guetta's "Lovers in the Sun." Monday night at the Grammys, Einziger's dance pedigree was proven again as he joined Skrillex, Diplo and Justin Bieber for their performance of the Grammy-winning "Where Are U Now."

The guitarist has also branched out into the film and scoring world, joining friend and composer Hans Zimmer for an eight-week tour of Europe this spring. Incubus need not worry, though -- as Einzigerfriends. We're around each other all the time, but there's always a lot happening. So he and I have been hanging out five days a week for the last few months alone, just the two of us. It's been really cool.

I'm going on an eight-week tour of Europe with Hans in April and May. I'm helping do his first tour ever with his film music. He's done other festivals and things like that but it's a life-long dream of his and I'm honored to be able to help him realize his dream because he's helped me realize mine: to score movies. He's a really good friend and a mentor.

Olivia Ra-Shidi has gone from learning to mix to playing a stage at Insomnia festival in less than eighteen months. A precocious talent, the young Ra-Shidi has an innate musical ability, fusing organic contrapuntal rhythms with vintage synthesisers in exotic mixes forged from chimerical musical landscapes.

She’s a resident and a booker for Circa and Storgate Camping (Oslo Camping’s northern counterpart) in Tromsø. Between booking these venues and playing, Ra-Shidi has become a dominant force in the arctic city as one of the next generation of DJs breaking through from Norway’s first electronic music city, where Bjørn Torske, Mental Overdrive, Biosphere and Rune Lindbæk first staked their claim.

Under the sage guidance of her mentor Charlotte Bendiks, Ra-Shidi has joined the ranks of these legendary figures

"She clawed him, and he wiped his face with his handkerchief." "Then he put it back in his pocket after he'd been fatally stabbed?" "No." "Mrs. Fletcher is absolutely correct." "The face-scratching must have happened earlier." "Does that report mention anything about fibers snagged onto the watchband?" "Green fibers?"

"SeeFrom 1967 to 1994, CBS News lightened things up with a weekly feature called On the Road – Charles Kuralt and his crew would visit this little town or that little out-of-the-way corner of America and report on how Americans really lived their lives, and each instance was surprisingly pleasant. The “news” might be awful, but Americans were a good people, if somewhat eccentric, and these segments won Kuralt two Peabody Awards. The real America is in the small news stories from the middle of nowhere, the real heart of America. Everyone smiled.

That seems quaint now. In 1994 things got nasty. That was the year of Newt Gingrich and the Republican Revolution – political and social issues would now be take-no-prisoners confrontational. The Republicans shut down the government

And they have guns. Charles Kuralt spent twenty-seven years on the road, trying to discover the real America. He never uncovered that. He didn’t drop by that Waffle House place in Charleston, South Carolina, where armed citizens do what the cops can’t – and the cops thank them. Someone’s got to make the world right, right? But who?

One Response to At the Waffle House

I knew there was something wrong with Carson’s Hitler-taking-guns-away story but it’s been so long since I’d heard anybody use it that I forgot the true story until Kevin Drum reminded us, which is worth repeating, lest we forget it again:

In


1919, the Treaty of Versailles disarmed Germany. … This was long before Hitler came to power.

In 1928 this legislation was relaxed. “Germans could possess firearms, but they were required to have permits” … Again, this was before Hitler came to power.

In 1938, Hitler relaxed the law further. Rifles and shotguns were completely deregulated, permits were extended to three years, and the age at which guns could be purchased was lowered to 18.

Now, Hitler did effectively ban Jews from owning guns in 1938. However, this is highly unlikely to have affected the fate of the Jews even slightly. The Nazis were considerably better armed and organized, and if Jews had taken to shooting them it would have accomplished nothing except giving Joseph Goebbels some terrific propaganda opportunities. The 1943came the War of 1812, which disabused us of thinking it wise to fight a major war without a regular military:

The United States was not prepared to prosecute a war, for [President James] Madison had assumed that the state militias would easily seize Canada and that negotiations would follow. In 1812, the regular army consisted of fewer than 12,000 men. Congress authorized the expansion of the army to 35,000 men, but the service was voluntary and unpopular; it offered poor pay, and there were few trained and experienced officers, at least initially. The militia objected to serving outside their home states, were not open to discipline, and performed poorly against British forces when outside their home states. …

The war was … a major turning point in the development


of the US military. The poor performance of several US armies during the war, particularly during the 1812–13 invasions of Canada and the 1814 defense of Washington, convinced the US government of the need to move away from its Revolutionary-era reliance on militia and focus on creating a more professional regular force.

By then, of course, it was too late to go messing around with the Constitution, so the Second Amendment became a vestige of a bygone era. In fact, throughout most of our history, most American families did not even own guns.

But as strange as it may sound to many of us, Carson’s “if we have a time when we have the wrong people in office and they want to dominate the people, the people will be able1689, exactly 100 years before our own government got up and running, after King James II, a Catholic, tried to disarm all the Protestants:

One of the issues the Bill resolved was the authority of the King to disarm its subjects, after James II had attempted to disarm many Protestants, and had argued with Parliament over his desire to maintain a standing (or permanent) army. The bill states that it is acting to restore “ancient rights” trampled upon by James II, though some have argued that the English Bill of Rights created a new right to have arms, which developed out of a duty to have arms.

In District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), the Supreme Court did not accept this view, remarking that the English right at the time

Disney XD star Kelli Berglund dishes on her Fashion Week experience

This interview is a part of #KanvasLive, an interactive, cross-platform content series brought to life on the Kanvas App and AOL.com. See more on coverage here.

If you don't know who Kelli Berglund is yet, you definitely should. The actress and fashionista is making a name for herself at only 20 years old.

After being discovered by a talent agent during a dance show as a young child, Berglund started doing commercials. Eventually, she fell in love with acting and moved to LA to pursue her career full time. Many know her know as Bree Devenport on Disney XD's Lab Rats and the spinoff Lab Rats: Elite Force.

What people may not know about Berglund, however, is that she is aforce to be reckoned with in the world of fashion. In 2015, she launched a fashion line collaboration with Style Club, and hopes to continue to be a part of the fashion world.

We had the chance to chat with Kelli about her NYFW experience, her fashion line and more. Watch the video above to see our rapid fire questions with her, and check out the interview below for our full interview!

How did your interest in fashion first begin -- you've been working on a collection called MUSE?

That was a collection I did with this Style Club last year. That was my first introduction into designing, which is really exciting. I had a really big part in that -- choosing design, color scheme, and all of that. But I
