On Tuesday, June 2, 1993, Mario Hemsley and Irvin Foster, at the continued request of friends and promoters Eric and De'Bora Griffin, gathered their friends and presented the first live performance of The Hemsley Foster Project. In the tradition of non-performing groups such as Steely Dan, Mario and Irvin had recently shunned the stage, turning instead to the recording studio. Taking their studio team to the stage presented a new challenge to the songwriting/production team, but they were more than equal to the task. Featuring original music, written and arranged by "the project", the Nyala's performance was the first glimpse of one of the up and coming adult contemporary songwriting teams of the 90's.

SPOTLIGHTEDJurgen Klopp says he has to keep proving himself at Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp says he loves working at Liverpool but has to keep proving himself after Franz Beckenbauer backed him for the Bayern Munich manager's job.

Before Liverpool's 3-1 over Bayern Munich on Wednesday, which took the Reds to the Champions League quarter-finals, Beckenbauer said that the former Borussia Dortmund coach would be an ideal appointment at Bayern Munich.

"Jurgen Klopp at FC Bayern. That would be the highlight. Jurgen was the one who taught the Germans how to play football quickly," he said.

However, Klopp insists he is focused on winning trophies with Liverpool, although he admitted such praise from Beckenbauer was akin to being awarded a knighthood.

"There is no bigger legend in Germany than Franz Beckenbauer," said Klopp. "It feels


Ellison ready for first step back Bullets forward may return Dec. 2

Washington Bullets forward Pervis Ellison has been medically cleared to begin working out with the team, and could be in uniform when the team is host to the Seattle SuperSonics on Dec. 2.

It's the best news the Bullets have received on Ellison, who on May 12 underwent arthroscopic surgery to remove cartilage from both knees.

Ellison was examined yesterday by Dr. Steve Haas, who said the knees were fit enough for the 6-foot-10 forward to begin drills. However, Ellison has yet to be cleared to scrimmage at full speed.

Hampered by leg problems since his rookie season, when he was the top pick of the 1988 draft by the Sacramento Kings, Ellison was expected to be back on thecourt by August. But when he reported to training camp last month in Shepherdstown, W.Va., Ellison was immediately sent home to continue therapy under the care of doctors in the Washington area.

Playing mainly at center last season, Ellison averaged 17.4 points and 8.8 rebounds in 49 games. With the acquisition of center Kevin Duckworth, Ellison will move to power forward, the position that best suits his 225-pound frame.

The Bullets also announced yesterday that they have waived 7-0 center Tito Horford, which clears the way for the activation of 7-7 rookie Gheorghe Muresan.

Horford, who made the team as a free agent, played sparingly in three games, averaging 9.3 minutes a game and not scoring a point.

The Bullets did not immediately activate Muresan, who was placed on the injured list


A MAJOR STUDY has found that childhood sexual abuse in Ireland does enormous economic and social damage to survivors, even well into later life.

The survey, conducted by the ESRI and Trinity College Dublin, found that Irish men and women who were sexually abused as children were more than twice as likely as others to be forced out of work by sickness in later life.

Among the other major findings:

Male CSA survivors are three times more likely than other men to be sick or disabled after the age of 50

more likely than other men to be after the age of 50 Both men and women abused in childhood are more than twice as likely as others to be out of the workforce due to sickness or permanent disability

Speaking to TheJournal.ie, one of the researchers, Alan Barrett, said that the study measures, for the first time, the sheer scale and durability of the economic devastation that CSA causes among survivors.

We had had a sense that being a survivor of child sexual abuse had long-term economic consequences, but now those effects have actually been quantified.

Significantly, the research controlled for mental health problems, and socioeconomic status in early life, which could otherwise have explained why CSA survivors suffer disproportionate economic

Shockingly, among CSA survivors those numbers rise to 17% of men and 14% of women.

The study was based on self-completed questionnaires handed in by 8,500 people aged 50 and over and living in Ireland, between 2009 and 2011.

The full research paper will be published at a later date in the Journal of Behavioural and Experimental Economics.

This comes a day before Comey is set to testify publicly before Congress for the first time on Thursday since President Trump fired him as FBI director last month.

Burr rips witnesses for not answering questions

Burr said he had one final message that he wants the witnesses to deliver to the Trump administration. He said that in cases where there's sensitivity of activities, there is a mechanism for congressional oversight whereby officials can brief and notify the Gang of Eight, which includes congressional leadership in both the House and Senate and on both sides of the aisle.

"At no time, should you be in a position to come to Congress without an answer," Burr warned them.

Warner says "the president is


not above the law"

Warner said that he's come out of the hearing "with more questions than when I went in." He said that Coats and Rogers were both willing to characterize their conversations with the president, arguing that they didn't feel pressure, but Warner ridiculed them for not sharing the content of those discussions.

Warner said he's "pretty frustrated" that there is a deference to a special prosecutor and he said while their "feelings response" is important, so is the contents of their communications with Trump.

"The president is not above the law," Warner said.

Warner asked if it would be concerning if the president intervened in an investigation.

"If anybody obstructs an investigation, that would be a subject of concern," Rosenstein said, adding that it would investigated appropriately.

Cotton seeks to clarifythe president or his campaign.

Rogers said he's "not going to discuss theoreticals" and he's not going to discuss specific conversations with the president. But, he said he would make one comment. He said in the more than 3 years that he has served as NSA director, he said, "I've never been directed to do anything illegal, immoral, unethical or inappropriate." He said he does not "recall feeling pressured" to do something.

Warner said he's disappointed with his answer.

Coats reveals case that he classified to illustrate the value of Sec. 702

He said that as a result of 702, the U.S. was able to find and kill ISIS's finance minister, Haji Iman, in March 2016. Coats said that the NSA, along with its intelligence community partners, spent over two years from


2014 to 2016 looking for Iman.

He explained that the NSA learned of a person "closely associated" with Iman and collected intelligence on the associate, forming a robust network. The NSA and its tactical partners, Coats said, combined the information and was able to identify Iman and track his movements. This allowed U.S. forces, he said, to attempt an apprehension of Iman in March 2016. The operation led to shots being fired at U.S. forces, which led to the killing of Iman and other associates at that location.

Coats defends FISA's Sec. 702, urges Congress to reauthorize the surveillance program

Coats, the director of national intelligence, in his opening joint statement, said that intelligence collection under 702 has produced and continues to produce "significant intelligence" that he said is "vital" toreauthorizes it. He spoke about Sec. 702 of Title 7 which he said provides the capability to target foreigners located outside the U.S. but whose foreign communications happen to be routed to and acquired in the U.S.

Burr said that the program is "exceptionally critical" to protecting Americans at home and abroad and in preventing terror attacks.

He acknowledged that there may be discussion about Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Highlight was a 20-something guy I saw for a head injury. Get this, Grumpy fans:

He had a fight with his girlfriend outside a restaurant and said he was going to teach her a lesson.

So he began repeatedly banging HIS head against the concrete sidewalk until he was covered with blood. At that point the police and paramedics pulled up, and so he began banging hishead repeatedly on the police car's windshield until he shattered it

He then went back to beating his head on the sidewalk, which continued until the cops tasered him and the paramedics gave him a dose of Valium.

The admitting diagnosis was "Self Assault"

Exactly what lesson his girlfriend learned from this is unclear, but I suspect it had something to do with getting a better boyfriend.

Most of the women (83%) were aware that the baby was dead before the delivery, 62% were informed of the baby\'s death by the obstetrician at the hospital, and 79% were satisfied with the way the message was conveyed. When describing in their own words what was positive with the way they were informed, synonyms with honesty/clarity (n=19) and empathy/intimacy (n=17) were most frequently reported. In contrast, lack of eye contact or empathy and hesitations from healthcare professionals in confirming the baby\'s death were described as negative experiences.

It was voted the world’s friendliest city by users of top travel website RoughGuides.com in 2016.

Now, Glasgow has been named the No.1 city in the UK for business-friendly golf clubs.

This is the finding of GolfSupport.com, which reviewed 218 clubs from 17 different prominent business hubs across the country.

Their research found that Glasgow has the highest proportion of golf clubs that offer corporate memberships to businesses (46%). That was narrowly better than Cambridge (43%) and Bristol (42%). Birmingham (40%) and Aberdeen rounded out the top five.

Three cities – Leeds, Newcastle and Nottingham – propped up the leaderboard. Golfsupport.com found that none of the combined 27 clubs they reviewed in these cities offered corporate memberships.

Of the clubs reviewed, Filton GC in


Bristol was found to offer the best price (£835 inclusive of VAT) for a corporate membership. It was closely followed by Cowglen in Glasgow (£840) with another Glasgow club, Crow Wood, the only other coming in under £1,000.

Interestingly, almost three-quarters (74%) of the 218 golf clubs assessed do not currently have a single corporate membership option available for businesses in their pricing structure.

This is despite an independent survey conducted by GolfSupport.com finding that 64% of 258 businesses, in a range of industries, it polled across England and Scotland stating an interest in a corporate membership scheme to entertain their clients and/or treat employees.

The relation between the conservation of active site residues and the molecular mechanism of aminoacylation reaction is an unexplored problem. In the present paper, the influences of the conserved active site residues on the reaction mechanism as well as the electrostatic potential near the reaction center are analyzed for Histidyl tRNA synthetase from Escherichia coli, Thermus thermophilus and Staphylococcus aureus. While the primary structures show both convergence as well as divergence, the secondary level structures of the active sites of the three species show considerable conservation in the respective structural organizations. The conserved active site residues near the reaction center, which have a major role in the reaction mechanism and catalysis, retain


their specific position and orientation relative to the substrate in the three species. In order to understand the influence of different conserved and nonconserved residues near the reaction center, two different models are considered. First, a large model of active site with the substrates, Mg(2+) ions and water is constructed in which the first shell residues (including both conserved as well as nonconserved) near the reaction center are studied. From the large model, a smaller model is constructed for reaction path modeling individually for three species. Validation of the smaller model is carried out by comparing the energy surfaces of large and small models as a function of reaction coordinates. Further, the electrostatic potential near the reaction center for the large and small model are compared. The transitionNegeri Sembilan Now Has A Caretaker Government

In our Federal system of government, general elections have to be held every 5 years for Parliament and the 13 State Assemblies. There is no constitutional reason why the general elections for 14 Legislatures must be held at the same time. Indeed, since Merdeka there have been instances when national and state elections were held at different times. Even in 2013, no State elections need be held in Sarawak because they had their last one in 2011 which would take them to 2016. However, because of the centralization of power in Putrajaya and its control over the Elections Commission, the political reality is that the Barisan federal government decides on when the national polls would be held this year, and the Elections


Commission, as its mouthpiece, has already announced that general elections for Parliament and all the State Assemblies (except Sarawak) will be held on the same day. For practical purposes, this means that 4 Pakatan governments in Kelantan, Kedah, Penang and Selangor have absolutely no say on the fixing of the date of their state elections.

It does not follow from the fact that the 12 States which have to go to polls in the coming weeks for state elections are powerless under the Constitution because they cannot decide on the date of the polls. Fixing of the date must be contrasted with the earlier or prior decision of the Menteri Besar/Chief Minister of each of the 12 states to advise his Malay Ruler or Governor (Yang diPertuan Negeri) todissolve the State Assembly before the expiry of its 5-year term. This is a decision of great constitutional significance, and it is disappointing from the perspective of the Constitution, that the Negeri Sembilan Menteri Besar did not advise the Yang diPertuan Besar to dissolve the State Assembly of his state. Instead, Article 56(4) of the Second Part of the Negeri Sembilan Constitution was triggered yesterday, and the Assembly was automatically dissolved yesterday (26th March 2013). Historians would have to advise whether this is the first occasion that this has happened in Malaysia.

About George (The City, not the President)

George is wonderfully well-situated in the Columbia River Basin of Eastern Washington. Found midway between the Seattle area and the Cascade mountains on the West, and Spokane on the east at exit 149 on Interstate 90, George sees a multitude of travelers every year (good thinking, Charlie).

Six miles to the west of the city is the famous "Gorge" amphitheater overlooking the spectacular Columbia River. Regularly scheduled big-name concerts "In the Gorge by George" throughout the summer insure ample business opportunities. As many as 250,000 concert-goers are expected to visit during the concert season.

I. INTRODUCTION
The matter before the Court is a Motion for Reconsideration filed by the City of Malden (the "City"). The City seeks reconsideration of an order of this Court entered on October 2, 2009 pursuant to which the Court found the City in contempt for violating the automatic stay by failing to take necessary and appropriate action to enable Ouadia Bererhout and Jennifer Fiorita (the "Debtors") to renew their motor vehicle registration with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the "Commonwealth"). The Commonwealth had blocked renewal as a result ofan "administrative hold" resulting from the City's notification to the Commonwealth of the Debtors' nonpayment of parking tickets. See Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 90, § 20A 1/2.
The issue presented is whether the City received adequate and appropriate notice of the "Debtors' Ex Parte Motion for Temporary Restraining Order to Enforce Automatic Stay"[1] and the hearing on that motion, where Debtors' counsel served the City Treasurer with notice of a hearing scheduled to take place on October 1, 2009 at 11:00 a.m. by facsimile late in the afternoon of September 30, 2009.
The Court conducted a hearing on the Motion for Reconsideration on May 18, 2010. In addition, the Court conducted a pretrial conference in the adversary proceeding commenced by the Debtors against the City on October 9, 2009. Neither


party requested an evidentiary hearing on the Motion for Reconsideration, and neither party disputed the facts necessary to determine the Motion for Reconsideration. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Court took the Motion for Reconsideration under advisement, scheduled a trial on damages for September 27, 2010, and continued generally the Amended Application of Debtor's Counsel for Compensation filed in conjunction with the contempt matter pending the outcome of the adversary proceeding.
For the reasons set forth below, the Court finds that notice was adequate under the circumstances and, accordingly, denies the Motion for Reconsideration.

II. PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
On September 21, 2009, the Debtors filed a voluntary Chapter 13 petition. On Schedule FCreditors Holding Unsecured Nonpriority Claims, the Debtors listed the *44 City as the holder of claims arising from unpaidparking tickets totaling $340. The City contends that it is owed $1,050, although it did not file a proof of claim and the deadline for doing so has passed. See Fed. R. Bankr.P. 3002(c).
On September 30, 2009, the Debtors filed a motion requesting a temporary restraining order against the City. In their motion, the Debtors alleged that the City was "putting a hold" on the registration of their vehicle at the Commonwealth's Registry of Motor Vehicles. As a consequence, the Debtors maintained that the City was violating the automatic stay, adding that the deadline for registering their vehicle was October 1, 2009. The Debtors also alleged that "[t]he City of Malden has received notice of the order of relief from this [the Debtors' attorney's] office by telephone, and,


to (781) 397-1593.
The Court conducted the hearing as scheduled. The City did not appear. The Court also found that "[t]he debtor's attorney represented in open court that he gave notice of the emergency hearing to the City of Malden (the "City") Treasurer's Office by facsimile transmission on September 30, 2009. A representative of the City did not appear at the hearing." Accordingly, the Court granted the motion, finding that "the automatic stay prevents the City from placing a hold on the debtors' renewal of their motor vehicle registration(s)." See 11 U.S.C. §§ 362(a) and 525. The Court also ordered the City and Commonwealth to "take all necessary and appropriate action to renew the Debtors' vehicle registration(s)." The Court scheduled a further hearing for October 8, 2009 at 9:30a.m.
Late in the day on October 1, 2009, the Debtors commenced an adversary proceeding against the City by filing "Debtors' Verified Complaint For Contempt And Violation Of The Automatic Stay." Additionally, they filed Debtors' Motion For Short Order of Notice seeking an emergency hearing. The Court granted the motion and scheduled an emergency hearing for October 2, 2009 at noon before Judge Frank Bailey. The Court ordered that "[a] representative of the City of Malden shall appear personally at the hearing or shall file a Motion to appear telephonically. Debtor's counsel shall give immediate fax and telephonic notice of this order to such representative." The Debtors' attorney filed a Certificate of Service in which he stated:
I Daniel Gindes do hereby certify that on October 2, 2009, I served


a copy of the Notice of Hearing/Order issued this morning by Judge Feeney to the Treasurer and Legal department of the City of Malden to:
legal@townofmalden.org treasurer@townofmalden.org[.]
I also state that I called the City Legal Department, and left a message on an answering system. I also called the Treasurer's Office, and was told they *45 would not attend the hearing because that was the legal department's responsibility.
On October 2, 2009, Judge Bailey conducted the emergency hearing. Counsel to the City was present. At the conclusion of the hearing, Judge Bailey entered an order in which he stated:
[c]ounsel to the City of Malden (the "City") represented at the hearing that it had actual notice of the Court's Temporary Restraining Order dated 10/1/09 (Doc. No. 18) (the "Order"), entered in thehad been voided. In addition, the Court determined that the Debtors' application for further injunctive relief was moot as their automobile had been registered. The Court postponed consideration of the Application for Fees as it contained mathematical errors.
On May 18, 2010, this Court held a hearing on the Motion for Reconsideration and conducted a status conference in the adversary proceeding. The Court scheduled a trial with respect to the Debtors' damages for September 27, 2010. The Court also took the City's Motion for Reconsideration under advisement and continued generally Debtors' Counsel's Application pending the outcome of the adversary proceeding.

III. POSITION OF PARTIES
The City, in support of its Motion for Reconsideration, argues that the Debtors failed to comply with the applicable procedural rules governing service. According to the City,


the Debtors' Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order, including Ms. Fiorita's near-term pregnancy, and the law applicable to the facts as alleged by the Debtors, this Court scheduled a hearing on the motion the day after it was filed. Accordingly, the City's Motion for Reconsideration lacks merit. The affidavit of Ms. Kerkentzes establishes that the City was aware of the bankruptcy petition and that the Debtors' counsel had spoken with her office on numerous occasions prior to the emergency hearing on October 1, 2009. On the day before the emergency hearing, the Debtors gave notice to the City by fax, email and telephone. The City was given ample time to file an objection and appear, which it failed to do. The City's attempt to place the burden onThe temperament of Down's syndrome toddlers and their siblings.
The Toddler Temperament Scale was completed by mothers of 37 Down's syndrome children. Questionnaires were also completed for 13 siblings. Comparisons with standardization scores on the difficult dimensions suggested that the Down's syndrome children were more rhythmic, less intense and of more positive mood than children of the same CA. In addition, they were less withdrawn and more adaptable than children of similar MA. The siblings were more rhythmic than the standardization sample and more persistent than the Down's syndrome children. There was no trend for Down's syndrome ratings to be strongly associated with own-sibling ratings.


Estonia (Estonian)

The national flag of Estonia (Estonian: Eesti lipp) is a tricolour featuring three equal horizontal bands of blue (top), black, and white. In Estonian it is colloquially called the "sinimustvalge" (literally "blue-black-white") , after the colours of the bands.such as tanks and high mobility, multipurpose, wheeled vehicles (HMMWVs) are an even greater challenge. Moreover this method of transporting such vehicles is frequently impractical, either because of the excessive number of sorties necessary to transport the vehicles, or the limited number of available aircraft.
The Chinook was brought into service with the thought the HMMWVs could be carried inside them, but the HMMWVs were too wide to be easily loaded inside its fuselage. Hence sling loading still must be employed even with the Chinook, using its dual tandem cargo hook suspension system. However with helicopters capable of carrying heavier loads multiple lifts are being considered. With the Chinook it is possible to carry two HMMWVs instead of one, as in the case of the Black Hawk.

As he was working on behalf of America nobody objected when this first occurred. It was only his later refusal to return it that caused a big stink. Lindbergh believed that Britain was already defeated or damn near because of the might German Luftwaffe. Germany’s advantage in pilots proved insufficient to defeat the RAF because their planes were generally low on fuel by the time they reached their targets, and they still had quite a ways to go on the return. Assuming that Germany elected to attack the United States (which it did not and was not likely to, as Iintend to explain) the Atlantic ocean would serve the same purpose as England’s channel, and would be even more insurmountable an obstacle. Germany was known for its U-Boats (which were outclassed by the convoy system that turned them into death-traps later in the war), but not its carriers. The British Navy always outclassed theirs, which is why the participants in the Battle of Britain were all land-based aircraft.

Most Americans grow up believing that our country is responsible for defeating Hitler. In that patriotic Americans are wrong and Marxists are right. It was Stalin that defeated Hitler. The Western Front was a sideshow to the Eastern one. It was there that Germany hemorrhaged its men and materiel. It was the Soviets that occupied eastern Germany, where the government was


Bismarck had attempted to make peace with France after the Franco-Prussian War, as he had after the Austro-Prussian War, but his advice was ignored and the two nations were to be bitter enemies. France seized back Alsace-Lorraine at the conclusion of the First World War (which mostly consisted of the German army against others on French territory), and the Versailles was no more conducive to peace than the end of the Franco-Prussian War. France and Russia had no choice in the matter, but Britain did. Hitler made overtures to England, but they were rebuffed. It was not Hitler that declared war on Britain, but the latter who declared war on Germany on the invasion of Poland (it is a great irony of the war that Poland would notLindbergh. He was no “Lord Hee-Haw” who supported the enemy during a war. It was his desire to serve his country and after the attack on Pearl Harbor he attempted to return to the Army Air Corps (which he had resigned as Captain from when F.D.R questioned his loyalty) but was rejected by several members of the administration. He acted as a consultant to the manufacturers of American aircraft and despite his status as a civilian flew about 50 combat missions in the Pacific. Even here, despite his fear of the “Asiatic races” he was averse to the racial hatred many of his comrades displayed toward the enemy, even as he recognized it was right to kill them in war.

This brings me to one of the sins of


Lindbergh that has been pointed out accurately: race was an important part of his world-view. He thought the European races should not war with each other in part because they needed to stand together against the Asiatics. When he discusses the machinations of the British to bring America to war he does not refer to the “government” or even “country” as doing this but the “British race”. Such a world-view was no rare thing at the time, including among supporters of war against Germany. It is a separate thing from racial hatred though. Even while he likely viewed the Nordic race as intellectually superior to others, he denounced the hypocrisy of America or Britain claiming to represent freedom and democracy while blacks were oppressed in the south orto develop aircraft used to bomb Nazi Germany when he was not permitted to rejoin the Air Force and was also turned down by Pan-Am, United and Curtiss-Wright.

Overtourism or undermanagement and underinvestment?

06 MARCH 2018 9:18 AM

Overtourism reactions pose a threat to the development of the tourism industry. However, the root of the problem often is undermanagement of tourism flows and destinations, as well as underinvestment in tourism resources, rather than overtourism.

By Aris Ikkos

2017 saw the rise of overtourism movements internationally, where large groups of citizens actively campaigned against tourists in their area.

Nonetheless, tourism is a major income and wealth source as well as a major employment generator worldwide. The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development estimates international tourism


there was an

explosion of Airbnb accommodation offerings in the city as well as Airbnb and hotel supply in nearby Mestre, area. As a consequence, Venice now has millions of visitors who spend little or nothing in the city, as they reside outside of it.

Furthermore, in many cases overtourism provides the opportunity for further development and investment so as to respond, grow and thrive in the face of shocks and pressure on public services. This can take the form of localized investment, such as a new desalination plant, expanding the capacity of an airport or investing in creating a ”smart city” to manage flows and improve the experience of tourists as well as local citizens. It can also take the form of much larger national-scale investment as, for example,target of the overtourism reactions, they are the least responsible party in generating the phenomenon. The greatest beneficiaries of tourism flows, i.e. the local authorities of the destinations, must assume the role they must play in managing tourism in their area as well as attracting investments that will benefit their area and alleviate overtourism phenomena. The travel industry must cooperate with the local authorities and travelers must support these actions by modifying their behavior accordingly so as to intrude as little as possible in the lives of local residents in the various destinations.

Corneal metabolism is reduced after cataract extraction. In a prospective study the corneal thickness and endothelial cell count of 48 patients were examined after phacoemulsification. Corneal thickness was measured with an ultrasound pachymeter and the endothelial cell count with a contact endothelial camera at the 12 o'clock position and in the corneal center before and 4 weeks, 4 months and 1 year after operation. One year after the operation, corneal thickness increased about 9% in the 12 o'clock position and about 12% in the corneal center. The endothelial cell count decreased about 27% in the 12 o'clock position and about 18% in the corneal center. We measured a significant correlation between cell loss and age at

Antigenic and genetic analyses of viruses from the 11 outbreaks of Newcastle disease in Great Britain, 12 of the outbreaks in Northern Ireland and the single outbreak in the Republic of Ireland which occurred in 1997, indicated that they were all essentially similar. In addition, the viruses from the British Isles were very similar to viruses isolated from three outbreaks in pheasants in Denmark between August and November 1996, from a goosander in Finland in September 1996, from an outbreak in chickens in Norway in February 1997, and from an outbreak in chickens in Sweden in November 1997.

The second accession of the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge


Papers includes predominantly textual (handwritten and typescript) material relating to the administration and operation of the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge Company and the Niagara Falls International Bridge Company during the years 1801 – 1937 (bulk 1835-1937).

Consists of material created or gathered by F.G. Shears in his capacity as the director of the Vancouver branch of the office of the Custodian of Enemy Property. The Vancouver office was established in 1942 following the attack on Pearl Harbor, with the special purpose of overseeing the seizure and, later, liquidation of assets of Japanese removed from the Pacific exclusion zone for internment. The office also helped with the administering of Japanese claims for remuneration in accordance with the findings of the Royal Commission, and Justice Henry Irving Bird, in 1950. Theoffice was closed on March 31, 1952.

The Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge fonds consists primarily of textual records that document the developmental phases and operation of the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge, and the administrative activities of the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge Company and the Niagara Falls International Bridge Company Joint Board of Directors. As these records document the lifespan of the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge from conception to destruction, they also show the operational progress and administrative history of the conjoined bridge company and Board of Directors. Included is a large collection of handwritten letters and early telegram correspondance authored by and addressed to various members of the Joint Board of Directors, engineers, attorneys, and representatives from the Great Western Railroad Company and the New York, Lake Erie, and


Western Railroad Company. Of note is the glut of professional correspondance between William Hamilton Merritt, Charles Brydges, William Swan, and various engineers involved with the concept, construction, and renewals of the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge, including Charles Ellet, Jr., Samuel Keefer, John Augustus Roebling, and Leffert Lefferts Buck.The fonds also includes textual records that document financial and business transactions between the conjoined bridge company, engineers, and merchants. Many of the latter bear historical company letterheads and insignia, including those of the Detroit Bridge and Ironworks Co., the Hamilton Bridge and Tool Company, the First National Bank of Albion (NY), and the Grand Trunk and Great Western Railroads. Further records document the internal administration of the conjoined bridge company and the interactions of the Board of Directors and executives,including internal financial records, engineering drafts, and executive meeting reports. In the interest of provenance, a small amount of ephemeral material, including photographs, postcards, stamps, and miscellaneous correspondance addressed to Glenn C. Way of 1631 Niagara Avenue, Niagara Falls, New York (1902 -1917), Charles H. Stringer (Clifton Hotel Accountant) of 1259 Heywood Avenue, Niagara Falls, Ontario, and c/o the Clifton Hotel (1902 -1931) is also maintained within the fonds.

The collection consists of daily bird journals (1923-2000), daily bird records (1922-1949), first and last sightings records (1922-1990), and research records on the American Robin and the Lincoln Sparrow (1930s-1940s).

Contains the manuscripts and research of David G. Rempel, primarily on the topic of Mennonite life in pre-Revolutionary Russia. This collection includes the manuscripts of Rempel’s brother Johann (John) Gerhard Rempel,


which have been translated by Rempel. As well as books, articles, manuscripts, diaries and other writing on the topic of Mennonites in Russia, and more widely, which was collected by Rempel for research purposes. In addition, the collection contains a large amount of Rempel’s correspondence with family, friends, scholars and researchers on the topic of Mennonite history.

Consists of various documents, maps, letters and bound volumes acquired by Louis Melzak. The majority of the items relate to the Morris and McLean families which had been collected in a scrapbook by Edmund Morris. The letters and documents had been arranged by Morris in two groups: those of the Alexander McLean family and those of the Alexander Morris family. He included a brief outline of the history of the McLean familyand an index of those documents.The bound volumes include an early printer's pay-book, the diary of a British soldier series in Upper Canada and material relating to the settlement of the Eastern Townships of Quebec.

The collections include research notes pertaining to the Royal Commission on Canada's Economic Prospects, for which LePan was secretary and director of research, 1955-1958, along with manuscripts, typescripts and correspondence concerning his literary works, as well as personal correspondence.

The collection consists of holograph manuscripts and copies of manuscripts by Thompson, including two drafts for his projected book: a narrative account of his explorations in western America from 1784 to 1812. It also includes several sketches of mountain elevations, some of which were published in J.B. Tyrell's 1916 edition of the Narrative, and several other


fragments of manuscripts by Thompson, typed transcripts of his journals, and photostats of other original Thompson material held elsewhere.

The fonds consists of writings, including memoirs, plays, and academic papers; materials relating to Trinity College and the University of Toronto; correspondence; printed materials; financial records; the records of the executor; and photographs of friends, family and travels.

The continuum hypothesis was under discussion as an "undecidable statement" at the Princeton University Bicentennial Conference on "Problems of Mathematics" in 1946, the first major international gathering of mathematicians after World War II. Kurt Gödel is in the second row, fifth from left.

In 1900, David Hilbert published a list of twenty-three open questions in mathematics, ten of which he presented at the International Congress of Mathematics in Paris that year. Hilbert had a good nose for asking mathematical questions as the ones on his list went on to lead very interesting mathematical lives. Many have been solved, but some have not been, and seem to be quite difficult. In both cases, some very deep mathematics has been developed along the way. The so-called Riemann hypothesis, for example, hasan example of which is the smallest cardinal that admits a nontrivial countably additive two-valued measure.

What a State Mathematics Would Be In Today . . .

Before coming to the Institute where he was appointed as one of its first Professors in 1933, John von Neumann was a student of David Hilbert’s in Göttingen. Von Neumann worked on Hilbert’s program to find a complete and consistent set of axioms for all of mathematics. In addition to his many other contributions to mathematics and physics, von Neumann defined Hilbert space (unbounded operators on an infinite dimensional space), which he used to formulate a mathematical structure of quantum mechanics. Below, the late Herman Goldstine, a former Member in the Schools of Mathematics, Natural Sciences, and Historical Studies, recalls von Neumann’s working

At night he would go to bed at a reasonable hour, and he would waken, I think, almost every night, judging from the things he told me and the few times that he and I shared hotel rooms. He would waken in the night, two, three in the morning, and would have thought through what he had been working on. He would then write. He would write down the things he had worked on. . . .

He, under Hilbert’s tutelage, was trying to prove the opposite of the Gödel theorem. He worked and worked and worked at this, and one night he dreamed the proof. He got up and wrote it down, and he1993 Chevrolet vehicle owned by Shanta Jones, and count two pertains to the
theft of a 1996 Buick vehicle owned by Rocco Larry.2 The Defendant proceeded to a jury
trial on the indicted offenses on May 19, 2011.

       Rocco Larry testified that he owned a 1996 Buick Century automobile which was
stolen from a parking garage at Baptist Memorial Hospital (“Baptist”) in Memphis,
Tennessee, on August 22, 2009. Specifically, Larry testified that on August 22, 2009, the
date the theft occurred, he was in Memphis, Tennessee, visiting his brother at Baptist. Larry
explained that he had traveled from Texas, where he lived, to Memphis, Tennessee, in his
Buick to visit his brother who was a patient at Baptist. Larry testified that on August 22,
2009, he parked his Buick in


the Baptist parking garage in “disabled parking” because he was
with his mother, who was disabled. After parking his Buick, Larry and his mother visited
with his brother at Baptist for approximately one hour. When he returned to the parking
garage, his Buick “was gone.” Larry went to Baptist security and reported that his Buick had
been stolen. According to Larry, a lieutenant with Baptist security called the Memphis Police
Department (“MPD”), and the MPD subsequently “[t]ook a report” from him.

       Later that evening, on August 22, 2009, the Jackson Police Department (“JPD”)
notified Larry that his Buick had been recovered in Jackson, Madison County, Tennessee.
Two days later, Larry went to Jackson to retrieve his Buick. The Buick the JPD recovered
was his vehicle, but there “was a hole     Shanta Jones testified next. She owned a blue 1993 Chevrolet truck 3 which was stolen
from the Popeye’s restaurant on Vann Drive in Jackson, Madison County, Tennessee, on
August 22, 2009. Specifically, Jones testified that on the date of this incident, she went to
work at Popeye’s at 2:00 p.m. She explained that she went outside at 4:00 p.m., two hours
later, and her truck “had vanished.” She immediately reported this to the JPD. Directly next
to the parking spot where she had parked her now-missing truck was a four-door, burgundy
or red car. She explained that “the fan was running or something was running on it.” It was
later discovered that this vehicle belonged to Larry.

        Jones testified that her truck was

        Officer Reeves next explained that he checked the Buick for latent fingerprints. He
does not check an entire vehicle for latent fingerprints but instead restricts it to certain areas
because it has “to be a very smooth surface” in order to lift latent fingerprints. He further
explained that he looks “at areas that are commonly touched, the door handles, around the
door handles, around the edge of the door, on the glass and areas like that.” Thus, he only
checked the exterior of the Buick on the doors for latent fingerprints. He did not attempt to
recover latent fingerprints from the interior of the Buick because the interior “is textured
areas.”

       Officer Reeves testified that he performed threehe never received any latent
fingerprints collected from the interior of the Buick in this case. He further acknowledged
that latent fingerprints can be recovered from the interior of vehicles. He noted, however,
that more latent fingerprints are found on the exterior of vehicles than on the interior of
vehicles, because the interior of vehicles “contain[] items or surfaces that will not hold a
latent print.”

        Investigator Richardson testified that in August 2009 he worked in the auto theft unit
and was assigned this case. The day the incident occurred, Investigator Richardson testified
that he did not go to Popeye’s but was contacted by Officer Reeves who advised him “of the
situation.” Investigator Richardson further explained that he talked to the dispatchers on the
date the thefts occurred, after Jones’


at Popeye’s in Jackson,
Tennessee. Her truck was recovered later than evening at mile marker 29 in Fayette County,
Tennessee. She testified that she purchased her truck for $3,500 approximately six to seven
months earlier. Both victims testified that no one had consent to take their vehicles. The
locks on both vehicles had also been broken, and the steering column in both vehicles had
been “popped” or broken.

        Nevertheless, the Defendant contends that the proof is not sufficient to support his
identity as the perpetrator. In essence, in support of this contention, the Defendant asserts
that his theft convictions should be reversed and dismissed because of the lack of direct
evidence. Specifically, the Defendant argues the following:

The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) filed a federal lawsuit Wednesday to prevent Texas Republican Governor Rick Perry from taking part in a planned evangelical Christian prayer rally he initiated in Houston.

Perry proclaimed August 6 as a “Day of Prayer and Fasting for our Nation to seek God’s guidance” and invited governors from across the nation to join his Christian prayer summit at Reliant Stadium.

“Given the trials that beset our nation and world, from the global economic downturn to natural disasters, the lingering danger of terrorism and continued debasement of our culture, I believe it is time to convene the leaders from each of our United States in a day of prayer and fasting, like that described in the book of Joel,” Perry said in June.

The legal complaintasks the federal court to declare unconstitutional Perry’s organization, promotion and participation in the event because it violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment.

It says Perry’s active participation in the event violates the U.S. Constitution by “giving the appearance that the government prefers evangelical Christian religious beliefs over other religious beliefs and non-beliefs, including by aligning and partnering with the American Family Association, a virulent, discriminatory and evangelical Christian organization known for its intolerance.”

The website for the prayer summit says that Americans “must come together and call upon Jesus to guide us through unprecedented struggles” because “some problems are beyond our power to solve.”

The event is co-hosted by the American Family Association, a fringe conservative Christian group that advocates the reform of American culture based on their

Families of missing duo threaten hunger strike

‘Over government's failure, inaction'

The families of Partha Biswas and Soumyajit Basu, who went missing from the Jangal Mahal area in October 2010, have threatened to go on a hunger strike, if the State government failed to come up with any concrete information about them.

Mr Biswas, a police personnel who the State government has since rewarded, and his school-teacher friend Mr Basu, went missing from the Ayodhya Hills area on October 22, 2010.

Efforts by the State government to trace them or get any information have been unsuccessful so far and the families are now getting frustrated at the government's ‘inaction and failure'.The families have made repeated visits to the State Secretariat and also met the senior-most police officials. TheCrew, tapped home after DeLeon crossed in the aftermath of a corner kick.

The Reds put the game out of reach in the 39th minute, as DeLeon slalomed through midfield and picked out the corner. His 25-yard strike gave the home side a 3-0 lead.

Ottawa, the sole USL Championship side in the competition, found their brightest moments via Christiano Francois. But the speedy Haitian forward couldn’t provide the finishing touch, as he even struck the post in the 90th minute after a run down the left.

World's major powers including China and Russia don't want to 'finance' American military adventures anymore. That's the view of Max Keiser, finance critic and former stockbroker. He says China and Russia are interested in collapsing the US economy by rejecting the dollar.10 days she believes the chances of forming a government are not high, she says she will lead a move for new elections herself.

Despite all the obstacles and the recalcitrance of some of her prospective coalition partners, however, Livni is far more likely to succeed in forming a government than to fail.

Much will depend on the enigmatic Barak.

On the day Livni replaced Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as Kadima Party leader, Barak shocked the political establishment by meeting with Netanyahu and declaring that he would only join a national emergency government if it included the Likud leader.

It was a double-edged ploy by Barak: Put the onus of blame for not joining a national unity effort on Netanyahu, whom Barak knew would refuse, and create the impression in Livni’s mind


as far as she is concerned, the government will hold together for the full two years until the next scheduled election in 2010.

Barak hopes to create the perception of a two-headed Livni-Barak government from which he, too, will emerge two years down the road as a serious candidate for prime minister. Indeed, all of Barak’s current coalition jockeying is about the 2010 elections.

Livni was quick to address Barak’s concerns. In her speech accepting her nomination as prime minister-designate, she appealed to Netanyahu to join a national unity government, spoke of a “true partnership” with Labor and promised that her government would be for the long term.

Barak phoned Livni to congratulate her on her speech, and senior Labor politicians now estimate the chances of a Kadima-Labor agreement are high.

OnYAB Makes Connections With Safer Cities

Last night YAB attended the opening reception hosted by Italy, the host of the next World Urban Forum. Amid the samosas and glasses of beer, we were able to meet a variety of people doing interesting work with UN-Habitat.

Opening Night Reception

While meeting and greeting we were fortunate to come across a group of youth partners from around the world working with the UN-Habitat Safer Cities Programme.

Safer Cities Programme was launched in 1996. The initial focus was on Africa, at the request of African mayors who were concerned by the extent of violence in their cities and wanted help with the development of prevention strategies at city level. Due to initial success, the programme has since been extended to Latin America and Asia.

Safer Cities


works with youth partners from around the world, involving them in the dialogue on how to create safer and more inclusive cities.

Gavin Sheppard is one of those partners. Gavin runs The Remix Project in Toronto, Canada, which was created in order to help level the playing field for young people from disadvantaged, marginalized and under served communities. Through their programs and services The Remix Project serves youth who are trying to enter into the creative industries or further their formal education.

Inspired by Gavin and some of his colleagues, YAB looks forward to collaborating across UN-Habitat with more youth projects around the world!Recommendation

Carl Jung on the "Trickster."

[The trickster] is a forerunner of the savior . . . . He is both subhuman and superhuman, a bestial and divine being, whose chief and most alarming characteristic is his unconsciousness.["On the Psychology of the Trickster-Figure," CW 9i, par. 472],

The so-called civilized man has forgotten the trickster. He remembers him only figuratively and metaphorically, when, irritated by his own ineptitude, he speaks of fate playing tricks on him or of things being bewitched. He never suspects that his own hidden and apparently harmless shadow has qualities whose dangerousness exceeds his wildest dreams.[Ibid., par. 478.]

On the Psychology of the Trickster Figure by C.G. Jung:

It is no light task for me to write about the figure of the trickster in American Indian


mythology within the confined space of a commentary. When I first came across Adolf Bandelier's classic on this subject, The Delight Makers, many years ago, I was struck by the European analogy of the carnival in the medieval Church, with its reversal of the hierarchic order, which is still continued in the carnivals held by student societies today. Something of this contradictoriness also inheres in the medieval description of the devil as simia dei (the ape of God), and in his characterization in folklore as the "simpleton" who is "fooled" or "cheated." A curious combination of typical trickster motifs can be found in the alchemical figure of Mercurius; for instance, his fondness for sly jokes and malicious pranks, his powers as a shape-shifter, his dual nature, half animal,half divine, his exposure to all kinds of tortures, and—last but not least—his approximation to the figure of a saviour. These qualities make Mercurius seem like a daemonic being resurrected from primitive times, older even than the Greek Hermes. His rogueries relate him in some measure to various figures met with in folklore and universally known in fairy-tales: Tom Thumb, Stupid Hans, or the buffoon-like Hanswurst, who is an altogether negative hero and yet manages to achieve through his stupidity what others fail to accomplish with their best efforts. In Grimm's fairy-tale, the "Spirit Mercurius" lets himself be outwitted by a peasant lad, and then has to buy his freedom with the precious gift of healing.

Since all mythical figures correspond to inner psychic experiences and originally sprang from


them, it is not surprising to find certain phenomena in the field of parapsychology which remind us of the trickster. These are the phenomena connected with poltergeists, and they occur at all times and places in the ambiance of pre-adolescent children. The malicious tricks played by the poltergeist are as well known as the low level of his intelligence and the fatuity of his "communications."

Ability to change his shape seems also to be one of his characteristics, as there are not a few reports of his appearance in animal form. Since he has on occasion described himself as a soul in hell, the motif of subjective suffering would seem not to be lacking either. His universality is co-extensive, so to speak, with that of shamanism, to which, aswe know, the whole phenomenology of spiritualism belongs. There is something of the trickster in the character of the shaman and medicine-man, for he, too, often plays malicious jokes on people, only to fall victim in his turn to the vengeance of those whom he has injured. For this reason, his profession sometimes puts him in peril of his life.

Besides that, the shamanistic techniques in themselves often cause the medicine-man a good deal of discomfort, if not actual pain. At all events the "making of a medicine-man" involves, in many parts of the world, so much agony of body and soul that permanent psychic injuries may result. His "approximation to the saviour" is an obvious consequence of this, in confirmation of the mythological truth that the wounded wounder


of Christ—that is, in the New Year—with singing and dancing. The dances were the originally harmless tripudia of the priests, lower clergy, children, and subdeacons and took place in church. An episcopus puerorum (children's bishop) was elected on Innocents' Day and dressed in pontifical robes. Amid uproarious rejoicings he paid an official visit to the palace of the archbishop and bestowed the episcopal blessing from one of the windows. The same thing happened at the tripudium hypodiaconorum, and at the dances for other priestly grades.

By the end of the twelfth century, the subdeacons' dance had degenerated into a real festum stuttorum (fools' feast). A report from the year I1g8 says that at the Feast of the Circumcision in Notre Dame, Paris, "so many abominations and shameful deeds" werecommitted that the holy place was desecrated "not only by smutty jokes, but even by the shedding of blood." In vain did Pope Innocent III inveigh against the "jests and madness that make the clergy a mockery," and the "shameless frenzy of their play-acting."

Two hundred and fifty years later (March 12, 1444), a letter from the Theological Faculty of Paris to all the French bishops was still fulminating against these festivals, at which "even the priests and clerics elected an archbishop OT a bishop or pope, and named him the Fools' Pope" (fatuorum papam). "In the very midst of divine service masqueraders with grotesque faces, disguised as women, lions, and mummers, performed their dances, sang indecent songs in the choir, ate their greasy food from a corner of


the altar near the priest celebrating mass, got out their games of dice, burned a stinking incense made of old shoe leather, and ran and hopped about all over the church."

It is not surprising that this veritable witches' sabbath was uncommonly popular, and that it required considerable time and effort to free the Church from this pagan heritage.

In certain localities even the priests seem to have adhered to the "libertas decembrica," as the Fools' Holiday was called, in spite (or perhaps because?) of the fact that the older level of consciousness could let itself rip on this happy occasion with all the wildness, wantonness, and irresponsibility of paganism.

These ceremonies, which still reveal the spirit of the trickster in his original form, seem to have died out by thebeginning of the sixteenth century. At any rate, the various conciliar decrees issued from 1581 to 1585 forbade only the festum puerorum and the election of an episcopus puerorum.

Finally, we must also mention in this connection the festum asinorum, which, so far as I know, was celebrated mainly in France. Although considered a harmless festival in memory of Mary's flight into Egypt, it was celebrated in a somewhat curious manner which might easily have given rise to misunderstandings.

In Beauvais, the ass procession went right into the church.5 At the conclusion of each part (Introit, Kyrie, Gloria, ete.) of the high mass that followed, the whole congregation brayed) that is, they all went "Y-a" like a donkey ("hac modulatione hinham concludebantur"). A codex dating apparently from the eleventh century


crucifixion scratched on the wall of the Imperial Cadet School on the Palatine 8-the danger of theriomorphism lay uncomfortably close.

Even the bishops could do nothing to stamp out this custom, until finally it had to be suppressed by the "auctoritas supremi Senatus." The suspicion of blasphemy becomes quite open in Nietzsche's "Ass Festival," which is a deliberately blasphemous parody of the mass.9

These medieval customs demonstrate the role of the trickster to perfection, and, when they vanished from the precincts of the Church, they appeared again on the profane level of Italian theatricals, as those comic types who, often adorned with enormous ithyphallic emblems, entertained the far from prudish public with ribaldries in true Rabelaisian style. Callot's engravings have preserved these classical figures for posterity—the Pulcinellas, Cucorognas, Chico Sgarras,and the like.

In picaresque tales, in carnivals and revels, in magic rites of healing, in man's religious fears and exaltations, this phantom of the trickster haunts the mythology of all ages, sometimes in quite unmistakable form, sometimes in strangely modulated guise.n He is obviously a "psychologem," an archetypal psychic structure of extreme antiquity. In his clearest manifestations he is a faithful reflection of an absolutely undifferentiated human consciousness, corresponding to a psyche that has hardly left the animal level.

That this is how the trickster figure originated can hardly be contested if we look at it from the causal and historical angle. In psychology as in biology we cannot afford to overlook or underestimate this question of origins, although the answer usually tells us nothing about the functional meaning.


the trickster no longer plays the role of a "delight-maker." In many cultures his figure seems like an old river-bed in which the water still flows.

One can see this best of all from the fact that the trickster motif does not crop up only in its mythical form but appears just as naively and authentically in the unsuspecting modern man—whenever, in fact, he feels himself at the mercy of annoying "accidents" which thwart his will and his actions with apparently malicious intent. He then speaks of "hoodoos" and "jinxes" or of the "mischievousness of the object."

Here the trickster is represented by counter-tendencies in the unconscious, and in certain cases by a sort of second personality, of a puerile and inferior character, not unlike the personalities who announce themselvesan even thicker pall over man's memories of the past, which were pretty unedifying anyway.

This phenomenon must have repeated itself innumerable times in the history of his mental development. The sovereign contempt with which our modern age looks back on the taste and intelligence of earlier centuries is a classic example of this, and there is an unmistakable allusion to the same phenomenon in the New Testament, where we are told in Acts 17:30 that God looked down from above the times of ignorance (or unconsciousness).

This attitude contrasts strangely with the still commoner and more striking idealization of the past, which is praised not merely as the "good old days" but as the Golden Age-and not just by uneducated and superstitious people, but by all those legions of


theosophical enthusiasts who resolutely believe in the former existence and lofty civilization of Atlantis.

Anyone who belongs to a sphere of culture that seeks the perfect state somewhere in the past must feel very queerly indeed when confronted by the figure of the trickster. He is a forerunner of the savior, and, like him, God, man, and animal at once. He is both subhuman and superhuman, a bestial and divine being, whose chief and most alarming characteristic is his unconsciousness.

Because of it he is deserted by his (evidently human) companions, which seems to indicate that he has fallen below their level of consciousness. He is so unconscious of himself that his body is not a unity, and his two hands fight each other. He takes his anus off andentrusts it with a special task. Even his sex is optional despite its phallic qualities: he can turn himself into a woman and bear children. From his penis he makes all kinds of useful plants. This is a reference to his original nature as a Creator, for the world is made from the body of a god.

On the other hand he is in many respects stupider than the animals, and gets into one ridiculous scrape after another. Although he is not really evil, he does the most atrocious things from sheer unconsciousness and un-relatedness. His imprisonment in animal unconsciousness is suggested by the episode where he gets his head caught inside the skull of an elk, and the next episode shows how he overcomes this condition by imprisoning


the head of a hawk inside his own rectum.

True, he sinks back into the former condition immediately afterwards, by falling under the ice, and is outwitted time after time by the animals, but in the end he succeeds in tricking the cunning coyote, and this brings back to him his savior nature. The trickster is a primitive "cosmic" being of divine-animal nature, on the one hand superior to man because of his superhuman qualities, and on the other hand inferior to him because of his unreason and unconsciousness.

He is no match for the animals either, because of his extraordinary clumsiness and lack of instinct. These defects are the marks of his human nature, which is not so well adapted to the environment as the animal's but, instead, haslong time, as its history shows; one can still detect traces of it even at a high level of civilization. Its longevity could also be explained by the strength and vitality of the state of consciousness described in the myth, and by the secret attraction and fascination this has for the conscious mind.

Although purely causal hypotheses in the biological sphere are not as a rule very satisfactory, due weight must nevertheless be given to the fact that in the case of the trickster a higher level of consciousness has covered up a lower one, and that the latter was already in retreat. His recollection, however, is mainly due to the interest which the conscious mind brings to bear on him, the inevitable concomitant being, as we have seen,


situation, then it soon becomes apparent that the shadow has not dissolved into nothing but is only waiting for a favorable opportunity to reappear as a projection upon one's neighbor.

If this trick is successful, there is immediately created between them that world of primordial darkness where everything that is characteristic of the trickster can happen-even on the highest plane of civilization. The best examples of these "monkey tricks," as popular speech aptly and truthfully sums up this state of affairs in which everything goes wrong and nothing intelligent happens except by mistake at the last moment, are naturally to be found in politics.

The so-called civilized man has forgotten the trickster. He remembers him only figuratively and metaphorically, when, irritated by his own ineptitude, he speaks of fate playingtricks on him or of things being bewitched. He never suspects that his own hidden and apparently harmless shadow has qualities whose dangerousness exceeds his wildest dreams. As soon as people get together in masses and submerge the individual, the shadow is mobilized, and, as history shows, may even be personified and incarnated.

The disastrous idea that everything comes to the human psyche from outside and that it is born a tabula rasa is responsible for the erroneous belief that under normal circumstances the individual is in perfect order. He then looks to the State for salvation, and makes society pay for his inefficiency.

He thinks the meaning of existence would be discovered if food and clothing were delivered to him gratis on his own doorstep, or if everybody possessed


act as though one had never heard of such things, not to mention believing in them.

But nothing is ever lost, not even the blood pact with the devil. Outwardly it is forgotten, but inwardly not at all. We act like the natives on the southern slopes of Mount Elgon, in East Africa, one of whom accompanied me part of the way into the bush. At a fork in the path we came upon a brand new "ghost trap," beautifully got up like a little hut, near the cave where he lived with his family. I asked him if he had made it. He denied it with all the signs of extreme agitation, asserting that only children would make such a "ju-ju." Whereupon he gave the hut a kick,least explosive one, it is also the first component of personality to come up in an analysis of the unconscious. A minatory and ridiculous figure, he stands at the very beginning of the way of individuation, posing the deceptively easy riddle of the Sphinx, or grimly demanding answer to a "quaestio crocodilina."

If, at the end of the trickster myth, the saviour is hinted at, this comforting premonition or hope means that some calamity or other has happened and been consciously understood. Only out of disaster can the longing for the saviour arise—in other words, the recognition and unavoidable integration of the shadow create such a harrowing situation that nobody but a saviour can undo the tangled web of fate. In the case of the individual, the problem constellated


by the shadow is answered on the plane of the anima, that is, through relatedness. In the history of the collective as in the history of the individual, everything depends on the development of consciousness. This gradually brings liberation from imprisonment in unconsciousness, and is therefore a bringer of light as well as of healing.

As in its collective, mythological form, so also the individual shadow contains within it the seed of an enantiodromia, of a conversion into its opposite.that on August 28, 1988, the body of James Lindsey was found on a county road between Decatur and Hartselle, Alabama. The victim had been stabbed three timesonce in the back and twice in the chest. Death was caused by a combination of loss of blood and breathing blood into the lungs.
The evidence showed that several weeks earlier, the victim had obtained marijuana from Anthony Simmons. Simmons had known Lindsey for several years but had never previously sold him marijuana. Simmons testified at trial that Lindsey did not pay him for the marijuana he had sold him several weeks prior to his death. He further stated that he had obtained this marijuana from Hagood. Simmons made several attempts to get the money from Lindsey but was unsuccessful. On
