waited on the Fellows were whipped like boys elsewhere, who were being taught grammar, but the birch was unknown as a punishment for undergraduates till late in the middle ages.
The introduction of corporal punishment into college life in England may be traced by a comparison of William of Wykeham's statutes with those of Henry VI. The King's College statute "De correctionibus faciendis circa delicta leviora" is largely a transcript of a New College statute, with the same title, and both contemplate subtraction of commons as the regular penalty. But the King's College statute contains an additional clause, to the effect that scholars and younger Fellows may be punished with stripes. In the statutes of Magdalen, dated some seventeen years later, William of Waynflete returned to the NewCollege form of the statute, but he provided that his demys (i.e. scholars who received half the commons of a Fellow) should be subject to the penalty of whipping in the Grammar School.
The statutes of Christ's College prescribe a fine of a farthing for unpunctuality on the part of the scholars studying in the Faculty of Arts, and heavier fines for absence, and it is added that if the offender be not an adult, a whipping is to be substituted for the pecuniary penalty. At
  Brasenose, where the Fellows were all of the standing of at least a Bachelor of Arts, the undergraduate scholars were subjected to an unusually strict discipline, and offenders were to be punished either by fines or by the rod, the Principal


and other founders had to make similar injunctions. The medieval student was distinctly quarrelsome, and such records as the famous Merton "scrutiny" of 1339, and investigations by College Visitors, show that the seniors set the undergraduates a bad example. The statutes of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, provide for two new penalties. An offending undergraduate might be sentenced to feed by himself, at a small table in the middle of the Hall, and in aggravated cases to the monastic penalty of bread and water. An alternative penalty was detention in the library at the most inconvenient time ("per horam vel horas cum minime vellet"), and the performance of an imposition to be shown up in due course. The rough and ready penalty of the birch is, however, frequently mentionedin the statutes of Corpus and of other sixteenth-century Colleges. Cardinal Wolsey thought it proper that an undergraduate should be whipped until he had completed his twentieth year. At Trinity, Cambridge (where offenders were sociably flogged before the assembled College on Friday evenings) the age was eighteen. Dr Caius restricted the rod to scholars who were not adult. "We call those adults," he says, "who have completed their eighteenth year. For before that age, both in ancient times and in our own memory, youth was not accustomed to wear braccas, being content with tibialia reaching to the knees." The stern disciplinarian might find an excuse for prolonging the whipping age in the Founder's wish that, "years alone should not make an adult, but along with years, gravity of


deportment and good character."
The leniency of the punishments for grave moral offences, as contrasted with the strict insistance upon the lesser matters of the law, cannot fail to impress modern readers, but this is not a characteristic peculiar to Leipsic. Fines, and in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, whippings were frequently inflicted in all universities for violent attacks upon the person. Dr Rashdall quotes a case at Ingolstadt where a student who had killed another in a drunken bout was let off with the confiscation of his goods, and the penalty of expulsion was remitted ; and the eighteenth-century history of Corpus Christi College at Oxford supplies more recent instances of punish- ments which could scarcely be said to fit the crime.
  The statutes ofthe French universities outside Paris and of the three medieval Scottish universities (St Andrews, Glasgow, and Aberdeen) supply many illustrations of the regulations we have noted elsewhere, but contain little that is unusual. St Andrews, which allowed hawking, forbade the dangerous game of football. The Faculty of Arts at Glasgow in 1532 issued an edict which has a curious resemblance to the Eton custom of "shirking." Reverence and filial fear were so important, said the masters, that no student was to meet the Rector, the Dean, or one of the Regents openly in the streets, by day or by night; immediately he was observed he must slink away and escape as best he could, and he must not be found again in the streets without special leave. The


penalty was a public, flogging. Similarly, even a lawful game must not be played in the presence of a regent. Flogging was a recognised penalty in all the Scottish universities; it found its way into the system at St Andrews and Glasgow, and was introduced at once at Aberdeen. …

Some concrete incidents for this play of power games:

The excommunication of King John by Innocent III in March 1208 caused the first diaspora of the 'clerks' of Oxford, who feared reprisals by the king. In the following year a murder committed by a scholar led the authorities to arrest some ofmade by Lucius III to prohibit competition, basing their amount on the valuations agreed by scholars and citizens jointly prior to 1209; a committee of four masters and four citizens was appointed to settle cases in which the necessary valuations had not been made.
The troubles in Oxford in the early thirteenth century are a clear example of the difficulties and bitter disputes between a university and secular authorities – especially locally – at a time of crucial importance to the formation and growth of the studia. Similar events elsewhere were settled by closer control of the ecclesiastical authorities. In Paris, for instance, following the murder of several students by a band of Serjeants guided by the prevot, Philip II Augustus was obliged in 1200 to grant the scholars


a privilege assuring them that he would prosecute with special rigour any persons doing them harm, and undertaking to allow scholars accused of criminal offences to be tried bythe ecclesiastical authorities.
Meanwhile in Bologna the universitas of scholars was gathering strength and becoming more firmly established, to the alarm of the commune, which feared the growth in its midst of a cosmopolitan body and a jurisdiction parallel to that of its own podestd. In 1211 the city was governed by the podesta Guglielmo da Pusterla, who supported the Emperor Otto IV recently excommunicated by Innocent III. One of the laws enacted by Guglielmo as podesta prohibited the formation of groups whose members swore to lend each other mutual aid and support, other than associations of men of warand artists taking such oaths ad honorem et utilitatem of the commune. The intention was obviously to prevent the formation of scholars' universitates. But in the same year the pope came down firmly on the side of the students, exhorted the people of Bologna to leave the party supporting the emperor, and threatened to excommunicate the city and transfer the studium elsewhere. By this means he succeeded in bringing about a new balance of power in Bologna favouring the party supporting the papacy.
Subsequently, in 1215 or thereabouts, the teachers renounced jurisdiction over lay scholars in criminal cases, and it passed almost entirely to the commune (cases involving clerics remaining under the jurisdiction of the bishop). Although recognizing the existence of the universitas, the commune forbade scholars to


associate themselves in sectam vel conspirationem to leave Bologna, and demanded that the rectors, as representatives of the association, should swear never to promote "the transfer of the studium. The scholars reacted strongly, and found that the most effective defence of their libertas was the protection of the church: in the spring of 1217 the new pope Honorius III exhorted the podesta to revoke his order, or not to apply the regulations restricting scholars' freedom of movement, and advised the scholars to resist the demands of the city authorities without using violence, and to leave Bologna rather than give way. Later, in 1220, addressing the people of Bologna, he condemned the laws restricting academic libertas, calling them harmful to the interests of the city; he ordered their repealand declared the podesta to be released from the oath he had taken on them.
Honorius III showed similar solicitude for the Paris studium. On learning that the bishop of Paris had excommunicated the universitas on the grounds that it had framed its own statutes without the explicit consent of the local ecclesiastical authorities, the pope took the scholars under his protection as his dearly beloved sons (tamquam filios speciales) and ordered the excommunication to be cancelled; but meanwhile he took over direct control of the universitas, and until the dispute was settled issued instructions on the use of the seal, the exercise of jurisdiction by the masters, the appointment of officials to punish misconduct, and participation in funeral rites.
From the fourteenth century on, this latter desire led


to a general residence requirement. Around 1410, for example, and again – with royal support – in 1420, Oxford impressed upon all attending the university, even young students of law, the obligation of residence either in the colleges or in the authorized halls. The hope was that this would put a check on the 'chamberdeacons' – students living at large in the town without permission or ties, allegedly sleeping by day and by night leading a shocking life of plunder and murder in the taverns and brothels. The general tenor of such ordinances, which acquired the rank of statutes, can also be found throughout the northern part of the continent – in 1410 in Vienna against the outside students {extra bursas stantes), and in 1452–7 in Paris againstthe issuance of fines, which is something colleges often don't want happening to their students), and residents of the local community may express resentment if they're asked to pay for the campus's police services, especially when the university's facilities themselves are exempt from property taxes. A university police force allows the school to take responsibility for the cost of the ordinary policing of the campus and vicinity, and the rest of the town can feel they're not being burdened with it.
But the biggest reason is control, which is a sort of return to the traditional centuries-old autonomy LangLangC describes. As Vox writes, the actions of outside police forces became unacceptable to many:

In the 1960s, though, local police were increasingly called to campuses to deal with student protests. Those

Dr Julian Lewis: What assessment the Electoral Commission has made of the implications for privacy of voting of the introduction of online voting?

Alan Beith (representing the Speaker's Committee on the Electoral Commission): The commission's evaluation of the May 2002 electoral pilots recognised concerns about the potential loss of privacy for voters involved in remote electronic voting and postal voting. However, the commission also noted that it was unaware of any evidence to suggest that remote voting led to an increase in formal allegations of electoral offences. The commission will continue to monitor closely the implications of remote voting.

Caracas (AFP)

Venezuela's government on Monday accused the United Nations of exaggerating its migration crisis to justify "international intervention."

Vice President Delcy Rodriguez said the government had complained to UN General Secretary Antonio Guterres that "individual officials" have been portraying "a normal migratory flow as a humanitarian crisis to justify an intervention."

The UN says 1.6 million Venezuelans since 2015 have fled economic meltdown in the country, which has been hit by shortages of basic necessities such as food and medicine.

Venezuela is in a fourth year of recession while the International Monetary Fund has predicted inflation in the South American country will reach one million percent this year.

The flood of migrants abandoning their country to seek a better life elsewhere has left countries such as Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador andPeru creaking under the strain.

Speaking at a press conference, Rodriguez said UN officials had been using data from "enemy countries" and presenting it "as if it was their own."

Rodriguez didn't identify who those officials or enemy states were, though.

Some 13 Latin American countries began a two-day meeting in Quito on Monday to discuss the Venezuelan migration crisis, a coordinated regional response and an appeal for outside funding.

"The worst humanitarian crisis the world is going through right now is that cause by NATO and European Union countries in Africa and the Middle East," added Rodriguez, who called on top EU diplomat Federica Mogherini to stamp out "fake news."

She pointed to a new UN report that stated nearly 1,600 migrants had died or gone missing in 2018 on "the way


Harry Russell-Humphrey was told his hair was too short (Picture: BPM)

A school has been accused of being too strict over pupils’ hair by two mothers who spoke out after their sons were placed in isolation.

Lisa Humphrey said her son Harry, 13, was placed in isolation by Havelock Academy in Grimsby after teachers said his hair was too short.

Wesley Snipes Owes $29,300, AmEx Says

ORLANDO (CN) - American Express claims jailed actor Wesley Snipes owes it $29,343 on his credit card. Snipes is serving three years for tax evasion. American Express Bank claims Wesley T. Snipes ran up $29,343.03 in charges, then defaulted on payments. It demands payment plus interest. Snipes was convicted in February 2008 of three misdemeanor counts of failing to file federal tax returns. He was acquitted of felony counts of conspiracy and filing a false claim. Snipes apparently acted under the influence of two tax-protester "advisers" and co-defendants, who were sentenced to longer prison terms. Snipes was allowed to remain free on appeal, but the 11th Circuit affirmed his convictions in July 2010 and the Federal


over a year, but was pretty ignorant of its history. Though Canyon Road was full of art galleries, the names of famous artists like Carlos Vierra, Gerald Cassidy, Maynard Dixon, and Fremont Ellis meant nothing to me. The group of young men called Los Cinco Pintores were equally unfamiliar.

Sparkle Plenty Yet Canyon Road had become an art colony as far back as 1914. Before that the canyon was a way into the mountain pastures for sheepherders and a natural path for irrigation water for Santa Fe gardens. This mother ditch, La Acequia Madre, parallels Canyon Road. One result of all the artists living on or near Canyon Road is the abundance of wonderful Pueblo Revival homes and estates that grace the area. Artists loved the picturesque nature ofadobe buildings and built many of them, not only on Canyon Road, but also on nearby Camino del Monte Sol and the lovely Acequia Madre.

But when I came to Canyon Road, the history escaped me. All I saw was the magic of the place. It was 1970, and instead of painters like Dixon and Cassidy, the local celebrities had names like Juero, Sunshine, Wolf, and Sparkle Plenty. Instead of Los Cinco Pintores, there was The Family Lotus. Artists, musicians, and writers continued to add to the local color. As did cowboys who occasionally rode their horses right into the bars.

Cheap Living Mixed into the street scene at that time were small, cheap living spaces that opened onto alleys. These compounds are now filled with expensive art galleries. Cheap


had. So everybody made things for sale, or did handyman work, or performed, or sold stuff on the side. In the alley where I lived (called a compound in Santa Fe), a friend of mine started heating up wax on a Coleman stove. He used tall square tins that sliced ham used to come in. The tins sat in a pan of water. He tied string onto coat hangers and started dipping them into the hot wax. He worked at this day and night. Dripping strings on hangers covered the entire one-room shed he called home. Those strings became huge candles a foot and a half tall and over two inches wide at their base. He made hundreds of them.

We just watched and mused. Around Labor Day hetook all those candles down to the Fiesta and sold out in three days. That was the last we saw of him for six months. He had made enough money to go to Mazatlan and spend the winter.

Three Cities of Spain One of my fondest memories was of a restaurant named Three Cities of Spain. I still say it was the best name of a restaurant ever. I couldn’t afford to eat there often, but on Sunday nights after the food was served, they rolled out a 16mm projector and showed movies. The room was small and the clicking of the projector was loud. But this wasn't a distraction. Instead it became part of the evening...as did the cigarette smoke that lit up in the rays of light

Thanks for posting this article and all the wonderful memories of what made Santa Fe, and all of New Mexico, so special for us, too!

When I was a kid, I would go visit a friend in the summers for a week at a time (because Santa Fe was very far!). This friend lived off of Acequia Madre and we would walk over to Canyon Road to the general store there to buy candy. This was the early 70's. Santa Fe sure has changed since then...and not necessarily for the better. I miss the old Santa Fe...

OBTS-That would probably have been Gormley's grocery store. The first picture after the banner shows the building whereit was located. In fact, in you click on the pic you can make out Gormley Lane right next to it.

Damn fine story. Takes me back to that time in my life. Walking to the country store with the wood porch. Penny candy. Riding with my grandad to take the berries to the Flavor-pac co-op in Gresham, OR. Those where the days. So simple then.

I had a friend who worked at the New Mexican and lived in the general area that you have described,got a job with the Denver Post and moved there, in the late 50s or early 60s. He rented out the family's adobe, which was already an heirloom. He worked until retirement at the Post. We met up again when he returned to Santa Fe


on a visit and I asked him why he didn't move back to his house in Santa Fe. "I can't afford to sell it," he said, indicating that the rent was more than his retirement salary. The value of the house had apparently increased in value from just a few thousand to more than a million. He made more money on the house during his lifetime, excluding rent, than he did working. His salary when he arrived in Denver was probably in the $8,000 range. He may have been making $60,000 when he retired. Certainly less money than the net increase in the value of his house. And the house he lived in in Denver at retirement was worth only about $200,000. His Santa Fe rental was worththat “hides behind the notion of it being a religion.” In a January 2018 news release, Neal Tapio of South Dakota, a Republican state senator who was planning to run for the United States House of Representatives, questioned whether the First Amendment applies to Muslims.

The idea that Islam, which has over 1.6 billion adherents worldwide, is not a religion was even deployed in a 2010 legal challenge of county approval of building plans for a mosque in Murfreesboro, Tenn. The plaintiffs argued that Islam is not a religion but rather a geopolitical system bent on instituting jihadist and Shariah law in America. Because Islam is not a religion, the argument went, the mosque construction plans should not benefit from the county or federal laws that protect religious organizations.

Russian human rights activist Svetlana Gannushkina wrote on Facebook on September 14 that the European court had barred Moscow from deporting Uzbek citizen Ravshan Rakhimov pending the resolution of his asylum application. In August, the court issued a similar order in the case of Novaya Gazeta journalist Ali Feruz (Feruz is the pen name used by Hudoberdi Nurmatov), after Russian and international journalists argued he could face torture or death if handed over to Uzbekistan.

Rakhimov's case has been a rollercoaster from the start. The 37-year-old moved to Moscow with


his wife in 2007. His two children, now 8 and 1, were both born in the Russian capital. He worked in construction and kept his papers in order. He never had any trouble with the Russian authorities.

But in 2014, his mother told him that his brother and two other men from his home village with whom he'd worked in Moscow had been detained by the Uzbek security forces. Rakhimov says the men were held for 15 days, during which they were beaten and given electric shocks, before they were able to bribe their way out of custody. Rakhimov decided to stop travelling back to Uzbekistan and applied for asylum in Russia.

In September 2015, Russia's Federal Migration Service rejected Rakhimov's application, saying that he was ineligible because there wasno arrest warrant for him in Uzbekistan.

Charged Or Not?

The matter rested there until February 2017, when Rakhimov was stopped in one of the routine document checks that are a regular feature of migrant-worker life in Moscow. During that check, police discovered that Uzbekistan had issued a warrant for Rakhimov in December 2014. He was jailed pending possible extradition.

According to the Uzbek authorities, Rakhimov advocated the formation of an Islamist state and called for the overthrow of the existing government of Uzbekistan. He allegedly attended lectures and consumed media containing extremist content. He also supposedly recruited others and organized meetings at which extremist materials were distributed.

He did all this, the Uzbek government claimed, not in Central Asia, but in Moscow. However, in Rakhimov's case file there is a document


from the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) to the prosecutor's office dated April 2017 and saying the FSB had no evidence that Rakhimov had been involved in any such activities. In view of the fact that he is not under any investigation in Russia, the FSB wrote, "there are no circumstances hindering the transfer of this individual to the requesting country and there is no threat to the security of the Russian Federation."

In March, Rakhimov filed a second application for asylum, citing the new information about his arrest warrant. The Russian authorities rebuffed that application, arguing that his case had already been considered and rejected.

Upon a court appeal, the migration authorities' rejection was overturned and the court sent a written admonishment to the officials instructing them to followthe law. Nonetheless, on July 24, Deputy Prosecutor-General Saak Karapetyan ordered Rakhimov's extradition.

The case ended up in the Moscow City Court where, on September 7, the court overturned Karapetyan's order.

"In numerous reports and other documents by international agencies...it has been stated that the use of torture and mistreatment of prisoners in custody is a widespread and ongoing problem [in Uzbekistan]," the court's decision read. It added that there had been no information that the situation there had changed since longtime autocrat Islam Karimov died in 2016.

"How pleasant it is to hear the words 'to be released from custody in the courtroom,'" his lawyer, Roza Magomedova, wrote on Facebook that day. But Rakhimov's problems were far from over.

'With Friends'

He was taken into a waiting room to collect his belongings


when several people in plainclothes detained him and took him away. When Magomedova inquired after him, police told her Rakhimov had left the building "with friends," which she knew was not true. She immediately went to a police station and filed a missing-persons report.

The following day, she got a phone call from a man who said he had shared a cell with Rakhimov, who had asked him to call her when he was released. Rakhimov was being held at the same police station in the Yaroslav district where he'd originally been arrested in February.

When Magomedova arrived, she found her client with a broken foot. "As soon as I arrived, I asked why I had been detained," Rakhimov said. "They immediately started beating me." Rakhimov didn't realize his footwas broken until later when it began to swell. Officially, police said he broke the foot while attempted to escape.

Rakhimov was hustled straight to the Babushkin district court, where the police report said he had been detained during a document check and it was discovered he had no passport or migrant card. His documents, in fact, were still at the remand facility where he'd been held since February. The judge seemed unconvinced that Rakhimov had not been kidnapped straight from the city court, but was unwilling to let him go free. Instead, she never called the case and Rakhimov and Magomedova sat in the courtroom until 10 p.m.

On September 9, a Saturday, Magomedova went to the Yaroslav district police station but was not allowed to see her client.


He was being taken back to court, she was told, and she could talk to him there. At the court, however, she was told they don't hear such cases on weekends. When she called back to the police station, she was told Rakhimov had been released because he couldn't be held without charge for more than 48 hours.

But Rakhimov didn't appear at home. Magomedova filed a second missing-persons complaint.

The next day was a case study in deja vu. A man telephoned and said he'd been in a cell with Rakhimov overnight. Rakhimov was being held at a police station in the capital's Losinoostrov district, again being held on charges of violating migration laws. He'd been released the previous day and then immediately stopped in the next precinct fora document check.

When Magomedova reached Rakhimov, she found him with black eyes and bruises on his neck. "I just asked them why they were detaining me," he told her.

According to the arrest report, Rakhimov had resisted arrest and needed to be handcuffed.

Europe Enters The Fray

But this time, Magomedova was accompanied by two members of the Moscow Public Oversight Commission, which monitors human rights. They immediately called an ambulance, and the medics ordered that he be taken to a hospital for head X-rays and a neurological examination. This was done and a medical report was issued, which police confiscated, saying they would add it to Rakhimov's case file. It disappeared.

Rakhimov was back in front of a judge on September 11. Despite the Moscow City Court's ruling on September 7


establishing Rakhimov as a refugee, Judge Yelena Mamayeva ruled against Rakhimov. She ordered him fined 5,000 rubles ($87) and deported to Uzbekistan. She said that since he had been detained on September 9, he'd had plenty of time to recover his documents after the Moscow City Court ruling on September 7. The fact that he'd been in police custody during that time was not taken into consideration.

The court ordered Rakhimov sent to a detention facility for people awaiting deportation.

That's when the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) stepped in, staying the Moscow court's deportation order pending a proper consideration of Rakhimov's asylum application.

But the story doesn't end there. On September 14, rights activist Gannushkina posted on Facebook that Magomedova had visited Rakhimov in the detention center. He toldher he'd been visited by "officials of the Uzbek Embassy," who had pressured him to sign a document renouncing his right to an attorney and his right to appeal to the ECHR. He didn't sign, Magomedova said.

She advised her client not to speak to anyone except her.

Silk gloves to kill the revolution

activities is one of the organization's top men, Frank Calzon.

Freedom House presents itself as a nongovernmental organization
which promotes human rights in the world and is politically neutral,
but it is actually a mouthpiece for the White House. Nonetheless, in
1995 it was given full membership in the UN Human Rights Commission,
in the role of a "consultative" agency.

Its president is Adrian Karatnycky and its director in the U.S.
capital is Frank Calzon, who is of Cuban origin. Since his arrival in
the United States in 1960, under the sponsorship of U.S.agencies,
including the CIA, Calzon has specialized in propaganda campaigns
against Cuba.

In 1993, also with U.S. government financing, he began to promote
the creation on the island of so-called nongovernmental organizations
(NGOs), which according to the plans, would later be strengthened
when they become conduits for humanitarian aid to the island.

It has been said that Washington has outlined two basic tasks for
Freedom House: to transmit to Cuba propaganda which paints a rosy
picture of capitalism; and to contribute to the establishment there
of what is called a "civilian society" - that is, one made up
essentially of anti-socialist groups which end up isolating the
Revolution.

Two high-ranking officials of the current administration announced
on July 16 in a press conference that the government had allocated
500 000 dollars to the foundation, the first official aid (that is,
the first made public)


exists in the
United States.

Colleagues from over there have told me that in addition, the funds
turned over by the White House are for the publication of articles
and other materials written by annexationists who portray themselves
on the island as independent journalists or human rights activists.

It is said that Freedom House has selected a group of U.S.
organizations also known as NGOs to take part in the mission to
weaken current Cuban society little by little and to replace it with
another, as I explained above, in which there would be no room for
revolutionary power.

These efforts extend to third countries, with the goal of
encouraging NGOs, human rights activists, intellectuals and trade
union leaders, all scrupulously selected for their pro-U.S. stands,
to join in the previously mentioned task. This would also serve to
cover up Washington's leading rolesituation of an
independent and sovereign country.

It is in line with a strategy concerning Cuba enunciated by the
president of the United States in a speech on June 27 of last year.
To put it into practice, he turned over half a million dollars in a
public ceremony three months later, on October 6.

All of this carries a warning. While the implementation of the
Helms-Burton Act seriously affected relations between Havana and
Washington, those in the United States who have defended the use of
activities with an apparently noble image to achieve the same goal
have not relented.

At the same time, in their form of proposing these plans, they make
it clear that they hope to follow rules established in actions taken
against the former Soviet Union and Eastern European socialist
countries, which can be summed up in the


where medical marijuana would fit this criteria.

The opinion was released today, and was in response to a question by state Senator Rick Jones.

The genetic mechanisms underlying functional hyperandrogenism and the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remain largely unknown. Given the large number of genetic variants found in association with these disorders, the emerging picture is that of a complex multigenic trait in which environmental influences play an important role in the expression of the hyperandrogenic phenotype. Among others, genomic variants in genes related to the regulation of androgen biosynthesis and function, insulin resistance, and the metabolic syndrome, and proinflammatory genotypes may be involved in the genetic predisposition to functional hyperandrogenism and PCOS. The elucidation of the molecular genetic basis of these disorders has been burdened by the heterogeneity in the diagnostic criteria used to define PCOS, the limited sample size of

Coquitlam, in conjunction with Port Coquitlam and Port Moody, completes the real estate area known as the “Tri-Cities”, which together occupy the region at the foot of Eagle Mountain, between the head of the Burrard Inlet and the Fraser River, in the Fraser Valley.

Sandwiched between Port Moody and Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam itself has three distinct areas, each with its own style. Southwest Coquitlam is where the majority of French-Canadian workers settled and many of the original historical buildings are still standing; Coquitlam Town Centre is the “urban” core; and Westwood Plateau is 1,400 acres of residential development. Approximately 30 – 40 minutes from downtown Vancouver by car, and a 30-minute ride on the West Coast Express commuter train, Coquitlam is fast becoming a popular alternative to the


busy city lifestyle.

Coquitlam is an area steeped in West Coast history. The first inhabitants of the area were the Coast Salish, but by the beginning of the 19th century, with the opening of Fraser Mills, Coquitlam was a young mill town. The eventual arrival of French-Canadian workers resulted in a strong and vibrant French-Canadian community called Maillardville on the south slope of Coquitlam. The City of Coquitlam is committed to preserving the local history, and in 2002 it completed the “Heritage Strategic Plan” – a plan designed to ensure that the City’s heritage is written into policy.

Dar Williams

Dar Williams became a major force on the New England folk scene. An idiosyncratic songwriter who wrote folk songs from a unique, often insightful perspective, Williams took pains to avoid the coy and the quirky; her songwriting and performing style have been compared to those of Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez, but with a few acidic and at times hilarious twists. She was born in Mount Kisco, New York, but raised in Chappaqua, the daughter of medical writer/editor Gray Williams and Marian Ferry, an active figure in Planned Parenthood. Her parents were educated at Yale and Vassar, respectively. Raised in a decidedly liberal arts atmosphere, Williams began studying guitar at age nine and wrote her first song at 11. In high school she was interested in athletics,but an ankle injury led her to audition for the musical Godspell. She became active in drama, and by her senior year, after composing more music and writing plays, considered herself a playwright. She blames an "existential crisis" at age 16 for her creativity and sharp sense of humor.

During her sophomore year at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, Williams spent a few months in Berkeley, California, where she wrote songs and performed at the Starry Plough. After earning a B.A., she moved to Boston in 1990 to find a career in the arts, dabbling in everything from directing plays and operas to performing. By the year's end she was stage manager for the Opera Company of Boston. She also began taking voice lessons and it was her teacher, Jeannie


Diva, who encouraged her to try the coffeehouse circuit. Williams tried hard, especially between late 1992 and early 1993, but things didn't pan out, so she abandoned Boston for the relaxed, folksy, artsy atmosphere of Northampton, Massachusetts, home of many prominent universities.

Williams claimed to draw much inspiration from her home community. Her love of the folk scene stemmed from her admiration of its integrity toward honesty and real emotion, and a creative freedom not found in more popular music genres. She loved trying to use traditional methods to express the realities and foibles of contemporary life. After several self-released cassettes, Williams made her proper debut in 1993 with the independent Honesty Room to considerable critical acclaim for both her beautiful soprano voice and her lovely, intriguing songs. Thefollowing year she signed to Razor & Tie Records, which reissued the album. Her second album, Mortal City (1995), was similarly praised, and was followed by 1997's End of the Summer.

Williams performed on the college and coffeehouse circuit and won rave reviews for her festival appearances, including the Newport Folk Festival and the Mississippi River Music Fest, St. Louis. She issued Cry Cry Cry as part of the folk trio of the same name in 1998, and her own The Green World followed two years later. Over the next few years, Williams remained a major presence on the concert trail; she also recorded songs during a two-year trek across America and Europe. She hooked up with Alison Krauss, Béla Fleck, Dave Matthews Band's Stefan Lessard, trumpet player Chris


Botti, and others for the impressive The Beauty of the Rain, which appeared in February 2003. My Better Self, Williams' most personal set of her career yet, arrived two years later, followed by Promised Land in 2008. In 2010, Williams released the career-spanning two-disc set Many Great Companions, which features one compilation disc of fan favorites and another disc of newly recorded songs from her catalog performed in an acoustic format. Williams' ninth studio project, In the Time of the Gods, appeared in 2012 from Razor & Tie.

Having established a loyal fan base over the prior two decades, when her contract with Razor & Tie ran out, Williams decided to try a D.I.Y. approach to her tenth studio album, Emerald, crowd-funding before signing with UK label Bread &Butter shortly before its release in the spring of 2015. Inspired by collaborations and long-term friendships, the album featured an impressive lineup of guests including Richard Thompson, Jim Lauderdale, Jill Sobule, the Milk Carton Kids, Lucy Wainwright Roche, and Angel Snow. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Ida Saxton McKinley was the wife of the 25th President, William McKinley. She served as First Lady of the United States from 1897 to 1901.

There was little resemblance between the vivacious young woman who married William McKinley in January 1871–a slender bride with sky-blue eyes and fair skin and masses of auburn hair–and the petulant invalid who moved into the White House with him in March 1897. Now her face was pallid and drawn, her close-cropped hair gray; her eyes were glazed with pain or dulled with sedative. Only one thing had remained the same: love which had brightened early years of happiness and endured through more than twenty years of illness.

Ida had been born in Canton, Ohio, in 1847, elder daughter of a socially prominent and well-to-dofamily. James A. Saxton, a banker, was indulgent to his two daughters. He educated them well in local schools and a finishing school, and then sent them to Europe on the grand tour.

Being pretty, fashionable, and a leader of the younger set in Canton did not satisfy Ida, so her broad-minded father suggested that she work in his bank. As a cashier she caught the attention of Maj. William McKinley, who had come to Canton in 1867 to establish a law practice, and they fell deeply in love. While he advanced in his profession, his young wife devoted her time to home and husband. A daughter, Katherine, was born on Christmas Day, 1871; a second, in April 1873. This time Ida was seriously ill, and the frail baby


died in August. Phlebitis and epileptic seizures shattered the mother’s health; and even before little Katie died in 1876, she was a confirmed invalid.

As Congressman and then as governor of Ohio, William McKinley was never far from her side. He arranged their life to suit her convenience. She spent most of her waking hours in a small Victorian rocking chair that she had had since childhood; she sat doing fancy work and crocheting bedroom slippers while she waited for her husband, who indulged her every whim.

At the White House, the McKinleys acted as if her health were no great handicap to her role as First Lady. Richly and prettily dressed, she received guests at formal receptions seated in a blue velvet chair. She held a fragrant bouquet tosuggest that she would not shake hands. Contrary to protocol, she was seated beside the President at state dinners and he, as always, kept close watch for signs of an impending seizure. If necessary, he would cover her face with a large handkerchief for a moment. The First Lady and her devoted husband seemed oblivious to any social inadequacy. Guests were discreet and newspapers silent on the subject of her “fainting spells.” Only in recent years have the facts of her health been revealed.

When the President was shot by an assassin in September 1901, after his second inauguration, he thought primarily of her. He murmured to his secretary: “My wife–be careful, Cortelyou, how you tell her–oh, be careful.” After his death, she lived in Canton, cared for by


her younger sister, visiting her husband’s grave almost daily. She died in 1907, and lies entombed beside the President and near their two little daughters in Canton’s McKinley Memorial Mausoleum.

About Serbia

Most of us still remember footage of Serbia as a war zone in the 1990s, so it might not be top of your 'to visit' list, but today's Serbia is bounding towards western Europe in perfect safety. Serbia's architecture and national treasures will draw in those interested in great European cultures, and Belgrade has shaken off its dark days with vigour to become a lively, and quite cool city. If you're looking for the best places to stay in Serbia you'll certainly find a lot of choice in Belgrade, but if you're here to explore the country's rolling hills and wooded valleys, or its famous monasteries then you'll be better off staying in one of the pretty rural towns.

the forty times this city has been invaded, from the Ottomans to the troubles of the end of the last century.

Belgrade's old town is lined on two sides by the rivers, and at the very centre, just before the rivers join, is the Belgrade Fortress. Most of Belgrade's main historic sights are within a twenty minute walk from here. And so are a number of the best places to stay in Serbia.

Highlights outside Belgrade:

One of modern Serbia's biggest and best known events is the Exit festival in Novi Sad, which is a big, friendly town with plenty of nightlife all year round, which sprawls out of outdoor cafes into the towns pretty parks. The town spreads out around the Petrovaradin Citadel, which is also where the festival isheld.

If you're looking for an unusual, and reasonably priced ski resort, look no further than Kopaonik.

Novi Pazar is where the Turkish culture has best melded with the Serbian, and this colourful town was right in the heartland of medieval Serbia, so is a great base to see some impressive historic treasures.

Pedro Pascal (Oberyn) and Hafthor Julius Bjornsson (The Mountain) break down the epic shoot for THR: "There were retakes upon retakes to hone the scene to perfection."

[Warning: Spoilers ahead for Sunday's episode of Game of Thrones, "The Mountain and the Viper."]

Westeros' most epic trial by combat is over.

For book readers, this was among the most anticipated episodes of season four, with Oberyn (Pedro Pascal) and The Mountain (Hafthor Julius Bjornsson) fighting on behalf of Tyrion and Cersei, respectively.

Q&A: 'Game of Thrones' Director on Gruesome Fight, Season 5 Plans

The fight was savage onscreen, and creating it was nearly as difficult for the actors involved. Even Bjornsson, known for competing in World's Strongest Man competitions, describes the shoot as "brutal."

"There were no holds barred, and there were retakes upon retakesthe Adriatic Sea. The design team had created this incredible arena for a battle right on the water with these immaculately dressed extras. It was breathtaking to be a part of. The show upped its game as far as its own production design — which it's already incredible at.

What kind of fight training did you do to prepare for the big duel?

Pascal: They were kind of enough to send me to a Wushu trainer in Los Angeles before flying out to start shooting. It was certainly movement my body was completely unfamiliar with. They started me off there, and while I was on set, there were extensive fight rehearsals with fight choreographers and Hafthor. I was in Ireland and Croatia through most of the shoot of the fourth

The trial of a former St. Louis police officer charged with what prosecutors have described as the calculated killing of a 24-year-old man six years ago will begin Monday.

Prosecutors allege that Jason Stockley, 36, was recorded on an internal camera during a high-speed pursuit saying he intended to kill Anthony Lamar Smith, before shooting him five times on Dec. 20, 2011.

Initial police reports said officers approached Smith, who was apparently involved in a drug deal behind a restaurant north of downtown St. Louis, when he fled, according to court documents obtained by NBC affiliate KSDK.

At one point,the station reported, Stockley could be heard in the video saying he was "going to kill this [expletive] — don't you know it."

When Smith's car slowed, prosecutors said later, Stockley instructed his partner, who was driving their SUV, to ram Smith's car.

"Stockley then approached Smith's car on the driver's side and shot five times into the car, striking the victim Anthony Smith with each shot," former St. Louis Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce said last year.

Stockley, who had been with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department for four years, told internal affairs investigators that he believed Smith was reaching for a

Former St. Louis police Officer Jason Stockley is charged with one count of first-degree murder in connection with the shooting death of Anthony Lamar Smith after following a car chase in December 2011. KSDK

But Joyce said the only gun found in Smith's car bore Stockley's DNA.

Homicide detectives later determined that the shooting was justifiable, although federal and internal affairs investigations continued.

In 2013, the same year Stockley left the department, the Board of Police Commissioners settled a wrongful death suit with Smith's family for $900,000. In May 2016, Stockley was charged with first-degree murder; a grand jury indicted him in August.

A patient, 58 years old, presents progressive blepharoptosis, in both eyes and external ophthalmoplegia. The general somatic examination, shows, at the level of the higher limbs, distal myopathy with muscular hypotony and articular deformities fibrosis and tendinous retraction. On examining the eye bottom we found colloid degeneration in the muscle region. Within the same family a ten-year-old nephew presents congenital ptosis. The muscular biopsy from the levator palpebrae shows muscular degenerative lesions with the reduction of nuclei and the proliferation of conjunctive tissue. It is shown that progressive external ophthalmoplegia must be interpreted as an ocular myopathy. The association with the distal myopathy at the level of the higher limbs, in the presented observation, upholds this pathogeny.


encodes the amino acid sequence of the expressed polypeptide product.
After binding to the promoter, RNA polymerase initiates the transcription of DNA encoding a ribosome binding site including a translation initiation or "start" signal (ordinarily ATG, which in the resulting messenger RNA becomes AUG), followed by DNA sequences encoding the structural gene itself. So-called translational stop codons are transcribed at the end of the structural gene whereafter the polymerase may form an additional sequence of messenger RNA which, because of the presence of the translational stop signal, will remain untranslated by the ribosomes. Ribosomes bind to the binding site provided on the messenger RNA, in bacteria ordinarily as the mRNA is being formed, and direct subsequently the production of the encoded polypeptide, beginning at the translation start signal andColombia is once again the most dangerous country in the world for trade unionists. Of the 76 people murdered for their trade union activities, not counting the workers killed during the Arab Spring, 29 lost their lives in Colombia. And in Guatemala yet again trade unionists paid a heavy price, with 10 assassinations committed with impunity. A further eight trade unionists were murdered in Asia.

The worldwide trends highlighted in the survey include the non respect of labour legislation by governments, the lack of funding for labour inspection and workers’ protection, the lack of rights and the abuse faced by migrant workers throughout the world, particularly in the Gulf States, and the exploitation of the largely female workforce in the export processing zones around the globe. Among the most


vulnerable are the 100 million domestic workers.

The year 2011 was of course the year of the Arab Spring and the revolutions surrounding this in North Africa, the Middle East and the Gulf States. The repression of trade union rights has been particularly harsh in these regions. Trade union organisations played a leading role in the revolutions, notably in Tunisia, Egypt and Bahrain. They paid a heavy price. Hundreds of activists were killed in the clashes and thousands were arrested. Today however the road to democracy is getting smoother, as could be seen from the massive turnout for the Egyptian elections in November and the continued protests in Syria and Bahrain. The creation of an independent trade union movement is well underway, although there is still no freedom ofassociation in some nations, such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Eritrea or Sudan.

The world economic crisis continued to impact unfairly on workers, as governments persisted in favouring austerity measures over stimulating growth and employment, says the ITUC survey. The consequences have been devastating, particularly for the young. Unemployment reached 205 million in 2011. In Spain, 40% of young people are out of work while Greece has an unemployment rate of 21%.

The measures taken to optimise profits and flexibility at the expense of the workforce have failed. One consequence of this failure is the increase in precarious forms of working, making it extremely difficult for trade union organisations to defend workers rights, for example in South Africa, Bangladesh, Cambodia and Pakistan.

“The situation of hundreds of thousands of


under threat in many industrialised countries, including Canada, whose conservative government has repeatedly sought to undermine union organising and collective bargaining rights.

Organising workers in the export processing zones remains very difficult, according to the ITUC survey. Legal restrictions persist and trade unions are still banned in most of them.

Migrant workers remain another very vulnerable group, particularly in the Gulf States where they represent the majority of the workforce in Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates but have few or no rights. Among these migrant workers are some 100 million domestic workers, the great majority of whom are women with little knowledge of their rights and no means of enforcing them. The ITUC has therefore welcomed the adoption of the International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) Convention no.189 on DomesticWorkers, which gives these workers the right to form unions and enjoy decent working conditions. The international trade union confederation is campaigning vigorously with its “12 by 12” campaign, aimed at getting 12 countries to ratify the convention by the end of 2012.

 Upon the refusal of defendant to grant the requested refund, plaintiff brought this action. The trial court found that in the years in question "the Pacific Division and the Eastern Division of plaintiff did share unity of ownership but did not share unity of operations or unity of use ... the Pacific Division was not a part of a unitary business with the Eastern Division of plaintiff. The Pacific Division was conducted as a separate and independent business ..." That neither division contributed to nor was dependent upon thethe third (unity of use) elements are present. At all pertinent times Standard was an Ohio corporation with its head office and principal place of business in Dayton. It was qualified to and did business in California. Its business was the manufacturing and selling of business forms, form handling equipment, and other office supplies used in conjunction with such forms. Standard manufacturing plants were located in Dayton, Ohio; York, Pennsylvania; Oakland, California; Glendale, California; and by March 1958, a manufacturing plant was also in operation in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The various plants produced a common product except that forms handling equipment was not produced on the west coast and sales books were not produced by the eastern division of the company.
 The Sunset-McKee Company, a Delaware corporation, with its


principal place of business in Oakland, California, was engaged in the production of business forms for many years prior to 1955.pursuant to an agreement entered into between Standard and Sunset-McKee on May 12, 1955, Standard acquired substantially all of the assets of Sunset-McKee. The purpose of this acquisition of assets was to enable Standard to successfully expand its business into the geographic area west of the Rocky Mountains.
 Shortly after Standard had acquired the assets of Sunset-McKee, Standard created a Pacific division in which the newly acquired assets were to be employed. Mr. Barrett B. Klopfer, a long time company employee, was sent to the west coast to head up the newly created division. The newly formed Pacific division employed all but two of the former employees ofthe Standard employee who was placed in charge of Pacific division when it was created, testified that Pacific division was in charge of its own personnel and with only a very few exceptions Sunset-McKee employees became Pacific division employees. Sunset-McKee's sales force was retained and became the Pacific division sales force.pacific division utilized the same suppliers as had Sunset-McKee, and sold generally to the same market, i.e., the 11 western states. The purchasing department of Sunset-McKee was kept intact and became the Pacific division purchasing department.pacific division kept intact Sunset-McKee's credit policies and handled its own credit policies, collections, and its own payrolls. It had its own sales training program and maintained its own service department. However, products were serviced from the point of use rather than the


point of sale so that Pacific division also serviced eastern division sales. There was no national price list for Standard products; the Pacific division set up its own prices. It had its own employee benefit plans and maintained its own inventories and inventory control.prior to the acquisition of Sunset- McKee's assets, Sunset-McKee purchased its forms-handling equipment from Standard. After the acquisition of Sunset-McKee's assets, Pacific division continued to purchase its forms-handling equipment from Standard's eastern division. As Pacific division did not have the productive capacity to meet the demand for its products, some of the forms sold by the Pacific division were purchased from Standard's eastern division. This, however, was not a departure from the practices of Sunset-McKee. At all times Pacific division attempted to create the imageof its being a California manufacturer in order to compete in the western market which was very conscious of buying western.
 Arthur M. Wittman, secretary-treasurer of Standard, was controller for Sunset-McKee, and became controller for the Pacific division, continuing in that position for three years. He testified that Pacific division basically continued Sunset-McKee. In addition to the similarities between Pacific division and Sunset-McKee hereinbefore set forth, Pacific division maintained the same program for liability insurance, fire insurance, and many other insurance programs.pacific division *133 also took over the same workmen's compensation policy with the same company which carried Sunset- McKee's workmen's compensation.pacific division maintained its own financial department. However, money for capital improvements was budgeted by the eastern division.pacific division controlled the application of the budgeted capital to


the various projects.
 Pacific division maintained its own accounting department which kept accounting records, consisting of a general ledger, expense and subsidiary ledgers, and which prepared its own balance sheet and profit and loss statements. There were no books of Pacific division kept at the headquarters of the eastern division, Dayton. The only amount on the corporate books at Dayton reflected the investment of the eastern division in Pacific division. In 1958, however, Standard obtained a computer and on January 1, 1959, the sales accounting detail was transferred to Dayton. Dayton performed the computations, submitted the results to Pacific division, and charged Pacific division for the expense. Detailed financial statements were prepared monthly from the books of original entry maintained by Pacific division and the statements were presentedto the board of directors of Standard separately from the eastern division and to Mr. K. P. Morse, the executive vice-president of Standard.
 As previously noted, Pacific division established its own prices based on costs and competitive conditions existing in the market area. However, part of the business activities of Pacific division consisted in filling contracts negotiated by the eastern division, which included contracts negotiated with the federal government. When Pacific division acted as subcontractor on a government contract, it charged the same prices as had been bid by the eastern division.
 Pacific division maintained its own advertising department and sales promotion department which had been taken over from Sunset-McKee. However, Pacific division utilized the advertising magazine "Paper Simplification," which was prepared by the eastern division.pacific division sold


the entire Standard product line under the Standard name.
 Pacific division maintained its own mechanical engineering department; however, the eastern division had extensive product research and development facilities, the work of which was made available to Pacific division. The eastern division also made available a number of administrative services to *134 Pacific division which were described by Mr. Klopfer as follows: "The administration charged to us covered the many, many services that the company participated in from a purely management and an administration standpoint. For example, they would, as an illustration, they would encounter let us say a personnel relations program designed to improve the morale of employees and so forth and so on; and they would have their own staff of psychologists for the recruitment of people,new basis for accounting was adopted by Standard so that the manner of accounting for interdivisional sales was changed radically.
 Although Pacific division maintained its own employee benefit programs, there was a company-wide bonus plan for officers, which included Mr. Klopfer.
 Although Pacific division prepared California sales and use tax returns at the Oakland office, the Dayton office of Standard prepared the California franchise tax returns.
 The equity financing for Standard was handled by the Dayton office, although part of the funds received were to go for the modernization of Pacific division.
 The trial court found that: "During the years in issue, the income years 1956 through 1959, inclusive, the Pacific Division continued the operations of Sunset-McKee as a business separate from the operations of the plaintiff in


years 1956 through 1959, considered that it was carrying on a unitary business, particularly is this so in view of the statement in the company's annual report of 1958 that it had "integrated plants at five strategic locations in the U.S."  [fn. *] placing "the Company ... in a strong competitive position. Customers in affected areas will receive the benefits of lower transportation charges and improved delivery schedules."
 [4] The following uncontroverted facts establish that Pacific contributed to Standard's eastern division and vice versa so that Standard's operations must be treated as unitary.
 1. We start with Standard's purpose in purchasing Sunset-McKee, which became the Pacific division. The purpose admittedly was to extend Standard's operations into the Western states where Standard previously had been unable to marketits products successfully.
 2. The acquisition of Pacific facilitated Standard's equity financing by furnishing additional assets and more promising prospects to serve as a basis for the issuance and sale of additional stock in the corporation. A prospectus issued in 1956 pointed out that the moneys from the sale of stock would be used for improvement of buildings and equipment of the Pacific plants.
 3. Pacific filled orders received at the eastern office, including government contracts bid for by the eastern office. The price charged the government was the same whether the product came from the eastern or Pacific division.
 4. Pacific enabled Standard to have a complete product line, including sales books which were never manufactured in the eastern plants, although Standard also subcontracted the production of


sales books to other manufacturers as well.
 5. Pacific serviced products sold by the eastern group.
 6. Pacific relied upon the eastern division for product research and development and for the recruitment of personnel and "the analyzing of people to select the right people for the right job." *136
 7. The operations of Pacific enabled Standard to create an image that it was a local manufacturer.
 8. Forms-handling equipment sold by Pacific was manufactured only in the eastern plants.pacific sold Standard's entire product line under the Standard name. Therefore, although Pacific conducted its own advertising, it was able to benefit from advertising material prepared by the eastern segment such as the magazine "Paper Simplification."
 10. Klopfer, vice-president in charge of Pacific, brought know-how from the eastern plants andthree or four times a year conferred with officers in the eastern offices with respect to problems of Pacific. On occasion he asked people from the Dayton office to come out to Pacific to make suggestions principally concerning production. Some four or five times during the period in question he asked Standard to send out a man with special skills and special training; Standard complied.
 Mark Smith, an employee of Standard, was sent to Pacific to become its sales manager, and two sales and service representatives of Standard were assigned to Pacific.
 11. Services of the eastern division, such as the problem-solving clinic conducted in the eastern offices were made available to Pacific's customers.
 12. The budgets for capital expenditures were established through conferences with Standard's eastern officers,


and a balance sheet and profit and loss statement was submitted monthly to Standard's board of directors.
 13. A number of administrative services were made available by the eastern headquarters to Pacific.
 14. The accounting record of Pacific showed that its total administrative expense was $1,109,226.48, of which $311,410 represented a charge for services rendered by the Eastern headquarters.
 15. In 1959 a new system was devised for sales accounting, it being handled through a computer at the Dayton headquarters, and all sales expense disbursements are made from there. This resulted in a savings by Pacific of some $30,000, as it eliminated four Pacific employees. No charge was made by Dayton for the use of the computer.
 16. Pacific's officers were included in Standard's bonus plan.
 Although thereit was done pursuant to proceedings under an ordinance of the township enacted pursuant to statute and that the plaintiff had due and legal notice thereof. At the final hearing the defendants' attorney stated that he had already advised plaintiff's attorney that he would consent to the entry of a judgment enjoining the defendants from demolishing the building on Lots 17 and 18 and such a consent judgment was subsequently entered.
"The facts disclosed and fully supported by a preponderance of the evidence, as I find them, are as follows:
"In 1942 the plaintiff began erection of a dwelling house on beach front Lots 6 and 7 in Brighton Beach owned by him. The building was enclosed and rough flooring was laid, but no stairway to the second floor, no


plumbing and no electrical wiring had been installed. The building was constructed of second hand lumber and the sheathing and flooring were of rough packing box boards. A considerable quantity of second hand furniture, plumbing material and fixtures, electrical fixtures and refrigerators, etc., was stored therein but the building was far from complete and not fit for human habitation. It stood unoccupied until it was undermined during the September 1944 hurricane and toppled over on to the beach along the ocean front. There it remained for a long time, and until it was partly righted and cribbing or blocking put under it on the ocean side thereof, and the building was raised up and supported by jack-screws. Some makeshift concrete piling, poured into 8-inch tin stove pipe, weresupported by the blocking, jacks and other under-pinning and was in grave danger of toppling over again. Repeated efforts of the township officials to persuade the plaintiff to complete the building and to abate the menacing nuisance, were unavailing. The condition of the property became the subject of numerous complaints by neighboring residents of the township. These complaints finally, in 1949, took the form of a petition signed by 18 neighboring residents and property owners, and addressed to the township commissioners requesting that the owner of the building be compelled to complete it or that it be demolished upon the ground that it was dangerous, an eyesore, and a detriment to surrounding properties and to further development of real estate in the immediate vicinity. After the receipt of


this petition, the township officials continued their efforts to induce the plaintiff to complete the building, but without avail. No material improvement having been made since the hurricane of 1944, a period of almost six years, the defendant mayor, as Director of Public Affairs and Safety, on April 25, 1950 filed with the township commissioners a formal complaint addressed to the plaintiff, charging him with maintaining a dwelling house on Lots 6 and 7 in Block 432 which was unfit for human habitation, in violation of the provisions of Ordinance No. 169 of the Township of Long Beach, which ordinance was entitled, `An Ordinance of the Township of Long Beach, in the County of Ocean, to Provide for the Repair, Closing or Demolition of Dwellings Unfit for Humana two weeks' postponement of the hearing which, in view of past experience with the plaintiff, was refused. The hearing was duly held by a commissioner designated for that purpose by the mayor, as Director of Public Affairs and Safety, who thereupon filed findings of fact in writing to the effect that the dwelling maintained by the plaintiff on Lots 6 and 7 in Block 432 was unfit for human habitation; that the house had never been completed, and that proper repair or improvement of the dwelling could not be made at reasonable cost in relation to its value. Thereafter, on May 23, 1950, pursuant to the provisions of the said statute and ordinance, the mayor, as Director of Public Affairs and Safety, issued his order directing the


plaintiff to remove or demolish said dwelling house within 30 days from the date thereof. These findings of fact and the order were duly served on the plaintiff. The time limit fixed by the order directed to the plaintiff was later extended for one week at plaintiff's attorney's request, and on his promise that the plaintiff would put the house in good condition. This he did not do (in fact, plaintiff testified that he had not been down to his property between March of 1950 and the first day of the trial), and the township commissioners then employed a contractor to demolish the building, which he agreed to do for what lumber he could salvage therefrom. He was instructed by the commissioners to take out of the buildingthe fact that the building was of no value at the time of its demolition.
"The plaintiff's testimony as to the value of the furniture and materials in the building I consider totally unreliable. This property consisted of second-hand and salvaged articles and building materials which plaintiff had acquired from time to time and removed to the building, seemingly for storage; for example, a quantity of used lumber had been brought from buildings being demolished in Philadelphia. He admitted that he had not seen some of the contents of this building for seven years. Other evidence indicated to my satisfaction that this personal property had been left exposed to the elements so long that most of it was entirely worthless in May 1950, and what was of any value


Reliability and validity of a fruit and vegetable self-efficacy instrument for secondary-school students in the Netherlands.
To develop a 'fruit self-efficacy' (FSE) instrument and a 'vegetable self-efficacy' (VSE) instrument for secondary-school students in the Netherlands and to test the reliability and validity of these instruments. Methodological research. Seven secondary schools in the Netherlands. Students (11-19 years of age) completed the two instruments in the classroom (n 466). Out of the original subject group, 106 students completed the instruments a second time. The relevance of the twenty-two items of the two developed instruments was evaluated on two occasions by four experts. This procedure resulted in seventeen items for both instruments. Further analysis was carried out on the basis of the secondary-school students' answers. Factor analysis identified two unidimensional instruments.

Edgar Douglas Adrian was an outstandingly brilliant, Nobel prize-winning neurophysiologist. He is remembered for developing the all-or-none principle of muscle contraction, and for explaining the minutiae of motor and sensory nerve transmission. He showed that the afferent effect in a neuron depends on the pattern in time of the impulses travelling in it, thereby providing a quantitative basis of nervous behaviour. With Sir Charles Sherrington, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1932 for discoveries on the functions of the neurons.

Evidence of an effect of BCG revaccination on incidence of tuberculosis in school-aged children in Brazil: second report of the BCG-REVAC cluster-randomised trial.
BCG revaccination is still used in some tuberculosis endemic countries. Until now, the little evidence available suggested that BCG revaccination confers very limited additional protection, although there was no information on whether protection depends on the setting and age of revaccination, or if protection increases with time since vaccination. Here we report on an extended follow up of the BCG-REVAC trial, a cluster randomised trial conducted in the Brazilian cities Salvador and Manaus including over 200,000 children aged 7-14 years aimed to evaluate the efficacy of BCG revaccination in children who had received neonatal BCG vaccination.

I don't necessarily buy the proposition that North Korea would use its nuclear weapons on its southern brethren when it is painted into a corner; but still, it is worth following up on just for the sake of giving a once-over of our current reasoning about the North's nuclear armament. The prevalent thought is that Pyongyang is giving its all in developing nuclear armed intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) that are capable of striking key population centers in the United States. The purpose is security guarantees from the United States. The world's most powerful nation almost wiped out the North during the 1950-53 Korean War that started with its Soviet-backed and China-coached invasion. Such bitterness rarely fades. So by reaching a nuclear equilibrium (not in terms of


destructive power but by possessing the ultimate kind of weapon), the North wants to extract U.S. guarantees for its survival. It makes sense. After all, Muammar Gaddafi, the dictator of Libya, cut a deal with the West for his survival in return for giving up his plan for weapons of mass destruction. The West didn't keep its end of the deal, letting him die a terrible death at the hands of his own people in October 2011.

So the North has learned its lesson or so the experts think.

To avoid the same fate, Kim Jong-un, the third generation of the Kim dynasty that has controlled the North for more than seven decades, would dig his heels in to see its ICBM program through. Even the U.S. would not makelight of the North as a nuclear power.

Would this be the end of the North's nuclear story? Matching the nuclear weapons of the U.S. with its own is enough?

What about the North's unfinished raison d'être _ communizing the South?

The South has grown incomparably bigger in the size of economy over the stagnant one of North Korea _ so, long forgotten is the North's aim of conquering the South for unification.

Few would seriously think that the North is capable of taking over the South. Whenever he has a chance, President Moon Jae-in would assure the North that his government has no intention to seek to absorb the North. Absorption took place in German unification, a much-touted model set for the Korean version.

Pyongyang has been stuck in the 1990s without


giving proper upgrades to its conventional weapons, while the wealthy South has turned its military into a mighty powerhouse through the purchases of top-of-line American hardware.

Therefore, the North's nuclear weapons can be seen as a game changer, overturning the balance in one fell swoop.

If the North becomes a nuclear weapons state, how would its unification policy evolve?

The first possibility is that it reverts to its old policy of unification by force.

The second is that it milks the South for extortion money _ threatening the South to cough up or face nuclear strikes.

For the first, the North faces a lot of barriers. The South has a population of over 50 million, twice as many as the North's. Then, the southerners have enjoyed a far higher standard of living, meaningit'll take."

An American artist is undertaking a crowdsourced art project involving a seemingly impossible task – printing out the entire internet.

Kenneth Goldsmith's exhibition opened Friday in a room with 8-metre high ceilings at the Labor Art Gallery in Mexico City.

So far, it consists of 10 tonnes of paper that has been mailed to him from contributors all over the world and assembled into a giant pile.

The printouts include "lots of porn, of course," people's email inboxes and thousands of pages of source code, among other things, he told CBC's Carol Off, co-host of As It Happens.

Goldsmith talked about his inspiration for the project, why he thinks the environmental cost is justified and how he thinks it will be viewed in the future.

NFL - The Beat

August 10, 2002

That wasn't Rob Johnson wearing No. 11 for the Buffalo Bills, and those weren't boos coming from the stands on Friday night. Greeted by elongated chants of his first name, Drew Bledsoe quickly established himself in his Bills' preseason debut, a 24-17 loss to the visiting Cincinnati Bengals.

The Bengals won the game in the second half with the second- and third-stringers on the field. Akili Smith hit Sean Brewer with a strike in traffic for the go-ahead, 8-yard touchdown with 2:42 left in the third quarter, and kicker Neil Rackers added a 34-yard field goal as the Bengals overcame a 17-7 deficit.

The pope and the vice president had a private hour-long conversation. Pence was beaming after the meeting, which appeared to be particularly cordial.

The hero description apparently referred to Pence's Roman Catholic family upbringing. He later became an evangelical Christian.

NEWT GINGRICH: VICE PRESIDENT PENCE'S BIG WEEK

Before journalists were ushered out of the library, Pence told Francis: "I want to extend the warmest greeting on behalf of President Donald Trump, who so enjoyed his visit here.''

Trump had a private audience with Francis at the Vatican in 2017, and on Friday in


Washington, the U.S. president was attending an anti-abortion rally in Washington. Trump is the first sitting U.S. president to do so in the history of the annual March for Life’s history.

Pence's office said the march in the U.S. capital was among the topics discussed with the pontiff. Catholic church teaching forbids abortion, and Pence himself has been staunchly anti-abortion.

In an interview right after his Vatican visit, Pence told U.S. Catholic media outlet EWTN News that it was a “great privilege” to meet with Francis.

He said meeting with Francis on a day when “literally hundreds of thousands of Americans, including many Catholic Americans, are gathered on our National Mall in Washington D.C. standing up for the right to life was a particular joy for me."

Pence also gushed pride forTrump, hailing him as the “most pro-life president in American history.”

Trump has embraced the anti-abortion agenda in a nod to evangelical Christians, a politically influential bloc in U.S. politics. But in 1999, Trump had gone on record in an interview describing himself as “pro-choice in every respect.”

In Friday's interview, Pence also praised Francis for his “passion for the sanctity of life.”

The vice president's office also said Pence and the pope talked about the crisis in Venezuela and displaced religious minorities in the Middle East.

The Vatican didn't say what was discussed.

Francis has repeatedly cited the social and economic hardships in Venezuela, in his native continent of South America. He also has decried that Christian minorities in parts of the Middle East have been forced to flee fighting or persecution,
