Officials in the employ of the archbishop would carry the large sheets of parchment and reveal a turbulent time as the religious community recoiled from the outbreak of the Black Death.

Get a peek at the upcoming production in this behind the scenes video. Hear from cast members Lauren Ambrose, Diana Rigg, and more!

My Fair Lady is a musical based upon George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion and with book and lyrics by Alan Jay Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe. The story concerns Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who takes speech lessons from professor Henry Higgins, a phoneticist, so that she may pass as a well-born lady. The musical's 1956 Broadway production was a hit, setting what was then the record for the longest run of any major musical theatre production in history. It was followed by a hit London production, a popular film


Davy Crockett Timeline

The famous American frontiersman, hunter,, scout, soldier and folk hero Davy Crockett was born on 17 August 1786 in Tennessee to John and Rebecca Crockett. He was one of the nine children that the couple had. However, due to poverty, Crockett did not go to school, but still managed to teach himself how to read, write and do basic math.

At the age of 20, he got married to Mary Finley, and had 2 sons, John Wesley and William Finley. The couple got married in the year 1806.

After marriage, the couple resorted to frontier farming and during this time, Crockett became a skilled hunter and trapper. In fact, he was famous for his coon skin hat, which he used to wear constantly even when fighting the NativeAmericans and Mexicans.
In the year 1813, Davy Crockett joined the military and he had the distinction of serving under the future president of the US, Andrew Jackson. He also fought the Native Indian tribe of Creek Indians for a year, from 1813 until 1814.

In the year 1815, Crockett’s wife died. And, Davy remarried a widow named Elizabeth Patton, who had 2 small children. And, Crockett’s commanding officer, Andrew Jackson, went on to become the president of the United States a few years later, in 1829.
Davy Crockett decided to run for Tennessee state legislature in the year 1821, and was successful. He was elected once again in 1823. Thereafter, he decided to run for the US Congress from Tennessee. He lost his first election, but was successful in the


second one, in the year 1827. He won again in 1833. However, he lost the elections in 1835, and with this he bid adieu to his political career.

In the year 1834, Davy Crockett published a book entitled A Narrative of the Life of David Crockett, of the State of Tennessee. This was an autobiography and went on to become extremely popular.

In the year 1835, Crockett moved his family to Texas. However, this move to the newly independent land was short-lived. Crockett and nearly two hundred other volunteers ended up losing their lives on 6th March 1836 while defending the mission of Alamo in San Antonio in Texas. The Mexican army laid a 13-day siege on the mission with thousands of soldiers. The Americans could not stop the maraudingMexican soldiers under the leadership of General Santa Anna, and soon they were all slaughtered. One of the brave soldiers to be killed was Davy Crockett.

After the famous Battle of Alamo, Davy Crockett became a legend as many stories about him were published. Some of these stories were real, while others were fictional, but they ended up making him into a folk hero.

Davy Crockett was a famous frontiersman, politician, soldier and hero from the nineteenth century. He was a representative from Tennessee in the US House of Representatives and he took part in the Texas Revolution. He lost his life in the famous Battle of Alamo. There is some controversy and mystery surrounding the death of Davy Crockett. However, it is know for certain that he lost his


Can Japan’s golden golf diplomacy win over Donald Trump?

When Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe visited then US President-elect Donald Trump in November 2016, he presented Trump with a Honmas Beres S-05 golf driver embellished with gold and intended, apparently, ‘for players seeking a higher trajectory and slice correction.’ The clubs were well received (even if, as it turned out, they were made in China). So when the two leaders met again in February 2017, they played golf together and spent five hours discussing United States-Japan relations.

Abe has therefore received strong marks for his Trump diplomacy, with subsequent opinion polling suggesting that 70 per cent of Japanese were satisfied with the results of the Trump-Abe meeting. For Abe, such statecraft recreates the successful golf diplomacy pursued by his grandfather,about Trump’s economic agenda relates not only to the demise of the TPP but also to Trump’s wider attitude towards global trade, including America’s likely future approach to the World Trade Organization, the North American Free Trade Agreement, trade relations with China and other potential policies such as border adjustment taxes.

Internationally, the TPP was viewed in Tokyo as a key part of the United States rebalance to the Asia-Pacific because it helped link the United States to the region across multiple dimensions rather than just security. For Japan, the TPP was expected both to strengthen economic relations on a bilateral basis with the United States as well as support greater Japanese engagement with the wider region, particularly Southeast Asia.

Domestically, the TPP represented a key instrument through which Abe


In addition to gaining the commitment of the Trump administration to Japanese security – which was aided by North Korea’s missile tests during the February Trump-Abe summit – Japan has so far kept any discord over trade to a minimum. Abe has instead promoted a new United States-Japan economic dialogue to be led by Japanese Minister of Finance Taro Aso and United States Vice-President Mike Pence. This success perhaps explains why domestic criticism of Abe’s diplomacy has been muted. The strongest criticism of Abe’s approach has come from former foreign minister, now opposition politician, Seiji Maehara, who characterised Abe as “a chicken meekly obeying a beast”.

Yet such early success conceals Abe’s weak hand and the broader limitations of such diplomacy, however skilfull. Adroit diplomacy cannot block the deeperCaste and Politics

The fundamental thesis in all these commentaries seem to be that since the Tamils discriminate against their own people they have no right to claim equality with the Sinhalese. This argument recalls forcefully the claims of the American racists in the old days that since, every society practices slavery including Africans themselves, there was no harm in Americans practicing slavery too.

by Robert Sidharthan Perinbanayagam

(August 25, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Over the years, the claims of the Tamil people for justice, equality and dignity have been rejected with a variety of specious arguments. It is not necessary to go into these exercises here again. However, the latest attempt in this direction is to raise the issue of caste in Jaffna society. Former civil servants, who spent three


positions and employment opportunities of the non-Vellalas. Among these changes, I would call attention to just two decisive steps that have changed the Jaffna system radically. One is the coming of the missionaries and the opening of schools all over the peninsula and the other is the free education scheme. These Christian schools did not actively practice discrimination against non-Vellala caste and indeed encouraged them to attend their schools and colleges. They were, after all, ripe for conversion! Even before the arrival of the Protestant educational missionaries, the Portuguese Catholics had made inroads into the Karayar community and opened opportunities for employment and even leadership in the communities. These schools gave its pupils proficiency in English and enabled them to get employment in government service and in theprofessions not only in the island but also overseas in Malaya, Singapore and Burma. It is a canard to claim that only the Vellalas benefited from these schools. Once again, I like to point out, that since they were in a substantial majority in the peninsula they obviously benefited most, but the other castes were not excluded from the fruits of English education.

I spent the first 28 years of my life – except for brief interruptions to study in Colombo for two years and then in Peradeniya for a few more years – studying and teaching in Christian schools. From kindergarten to my senior year, I studied at Jaffna College (1938—1950) and never did I see any member of my class being asked to sit in a lower

University student pleads not guilty to rape

Posted: Wednesday, February 10, 2010

JUNEAU - A 21-year-old man accused of raping a female roommate in their co-ed University of Alaska Southeast campus apartment last month pleaded not guilty Tuesday to five counts of felony sexual assault.

Dominic Merrill was arrested Jan. 28 on one count of sexual assault in the first degree, an unclassified felony punishable by up to 99 years in prison. The case was brought before a grand jury last week to see if there was enough evidence for an indictment.

On Friday, the grand jury returned an indictment charging Merrill with five counts of sexual assault in the first degree, punishable by up to 495 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

(VNA) National Assembly Vice Chairman Tong Thi Phong received visiting US Senator Christopher S. Bond in Hanoi on January 11. At the reception, the NA Vice Chairman said she was pleased with the current developing ties between Vietnam and the US as well as the effective cooperation between the two countries’ parliaments in sharing law-making experiences.

She expressed her wish that in the coming time, the two sides will continue to expand their cooperation and hold more dialogues on such issues as energy, environment, crime prevention and addressing the war consequences.

(VNA) Vietnam and the US discussed ways to elevate their defence cooperation to a new level during Defence Minister Phung Quang Thanh’s visit to the US from December 10-15.

On December 15, Defence Minister Thanh held talkswith his American counterpart Robert Gates at which they touched upon a wide range of issues in the bilateral defence ties together with regional and international issues of mutual concern.

(VNA) Vietnam and the US agreed upon a number of measures to lift bilateral defence cooperation to a new level, said Minister of Defence General Phung Quang Thanh.

In an interview granted to the Vietnam News Agency (VNA) following his official visit to the US from Dec. 10-15, Minister Thanh said he held frank, open and constructive talks with his US counterpart Robert Gates.

Defence ties form part of the Vietnam-US bilateral relationship and do not affect any third country, the minister elaborated.

(VNA) The relationship between the US and Vietnam is pretty new, since it has been normalized just 15 years


ago, but it has developed quite rapidly, said Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Scot A. Marciel.

In the second stage, we contacted and obtained demographic information from the village chiefs. In the third stage, more than 100 village committee members and rural doctors in all 10 villages were recruited and trained for 2 days on effective publicity for the survey.

If voting patterns in the upcoming federal election mirror the last election in 2011, how Manitobans will vote will be decided by where they live, according to a CBC News analysis.

The analysis, run poll by poll, showed how each party fared in every neighbourhood.

The Conservative Party dominated rural Manitoba and Winnipeg's suburbs. Northern Manitoba and Winnipeg's core were mostly split between the Liberals and the NDP.

These are the key findings in looking at the 2011 voting results for each of the 2,681 voting stations across the province.

2011 vs. 2015

It will be difficult for candidates to make ground on the Conservatives in rural areas, said Curtis Brown, vice-president of Winnipeg-based Probe Research.

"Further from the center of the city, the better the Conservatives do," he said.

In the St. James


Assiniboia riding, voters on Shelmerdine Drive bucked the trend and cast ballots for the NDP. The riding went Conservative in the last election.

Karen Owzarek lives across Shelmerdine Drive from a housing co-op. A Conservative supporter and volunteer, she was also surprised to hear the poll in 2011 went to the NDP.

She thinks the main difference between now and 2011 is people are trying to vote out a government as opposed to supporting one of the other parties.

"It's not as though people are voting for Liberals or for NDP, I think they are voting against a government they think has been in too long."

The Elections Canada polling station data reveals nearly 90% of polling stations in rural Manitoba were won by the Conservatives. In contrast, the NDP only secured12% of rural polling stations and the Liberals were nearly non-existent with only 1% outside of urban areas.

Despite their strong rural support, the Conservatives also lead the way in terms of polling station victories in Winnipeg suburbs, Steinbach, Portage and most of Brandon during the last general election.

Winnipeg North tight race

In 2011, Liberal incumbent, Kevin Lamoureux, won his Winnipeg North seat by a mere 44 votes. The race was so tight that a judicial recount was required to confirm his victory over his NDP opponent, Rebecca Blaikie.

Despite his victory, the map reveals that Blaikie had more geographically widespread support throughout the riding, winning 79 polling stations compared to 56 for Lamoureux.

Adding to the challenge for Lamoureux on this upcoming election day, is the fact that Canada's Electoral Boundaries


Commissions modified Winnipeg North's boundaries, and according to Elections Canada, had the new boundaries been used in 2011, the NDP would have won the riding by 109 votes.

Uphill battle for the Liberals in St.Boniface

With conservative MP Shelly Glover stepping down from her St. Boniface seat, many analysts believe that former city councillor and Liberal candidate Dan Vandal is a strong contender.

However, the poll data reveals that the Liberals have an up hill battle, having won only 33 of the 195 polling stations in 2011 -- nearly all of which were concentrated in north St, Boniface. The remainder of the riding, south to the perimeter, is essentially Conservative territory.

"Old St. Boniface is more likely to vote Liberal and is staunchly Liberal and if you were to go back andyou were to do that same exercise in St. Boniface for the 2008 and 2006 elections the red would have gone a lot more south," said Curtis Brown.

"I think for Dan Vandal his success is going to have to come in some of those areas like Southdale, Windsor Park some of those areas, right in the middle between the older part of the riding and newer parts of the riding. That might be challenge a little bit by the fact that Erin Selby is running for the NDP and that's the area that she represents," added Brown.

compounded by asthma on March 4. She died on March 10, having never
emerged from her coma. She was never alone as she was surrounded by
friends throughout.

Jenna is survived
by her sister Vanessa, and her friend and lifepartner Rob Killheffer. Rob
and Jenna were together in one way or another since she was 17 and the Killheffer
family came to stay with her in the hospital.

I talked to former Del Rey Diva Publicist and a close friend of Jenna's, Eleanor Lang, the day after Jenna died. Ellie wanted
everyone who knew Jenna, and perhaps even more everyone who didn't have
the chance to, to know that Jenna's last days were full of the same
celebration of love and community that she poured out toeveryone she had
known.

Though Jenna lay in a coma, friends came in an endless stream, never
leaving her alone,
reading aloud (Harry Potter) talking to her, playing her music through
headphones, raging privately at the horror visited on her and sharing their love with a person who gave unstintingly of her
own. In her hospital room there was a book that many
who came to visit wrote in, and I'm hoping to be able to share some of
those thoughts as well.

I'm hoping to add more friend's thoughts and pictures to this page, so please feel
free to send them to me. Stop
back often to say hello to Jenna, who remains very much a part of us as
long as she is remembered...and will always be someone easy to remember.

mean anything untoward by it; indeed, I mean it
as a compliment. I mean she's someone who, despite her youth, has spent
more years taking care of herself than many people a decade older than
her. By the time Jenna she in her early teens, almost everyone in her
birth family was dead or in jail. She more or less raised her younger
sister herself. I don't know a lot about this part of her life, aside from
a magazine essay she once wrote (and sold) about being the survivor of a
family destroyed by AIDS. For me, the camera first zooms in on Jenna in
1992, when she came to Tor as an intern from Hunter College High School.
She was sixteen.

She was a terrific intern -- mouthy, funny, perceptive, immensely
practical and direct. A great fit(where our
growth has long outstripped my ability to remember who all the new faces
are) but all the people who get stuff done in the service departments of
St. Martin's and Holtzbrinck. Jenna could make the bureaucracy jump
through hoops of fire. Packages held up at a Canadian customs broker?
Warehouse making it hard to mail Nebula- nominated books to everyone in
SFWA? Need to cut a check instantly and ship it by overnight mail to
Brazil? Jenna knew how to make it happen. She was Radar O'Reilly with a
tough, sometimes dismissive, often exasperated, always funny, and very
Brooklyn attitude.

And she's smart. All through this time she was working with Rob
Killheffer on CENTURY, the excellent (if maddeningly infrequent)
small-press magazine of ambitious, edgy SF. She was an insightful
editorial reader for me. She has canny self-taught taste


and judgment. She
has a knack for spotting talented people and making friends with them. She
can be kind, and she can be tough. Being a good editor entails all of
these qualities. That she had them was evident when she was an intern and
when she was my assistant. So in the natural course of things, eventually
she was promoted, becoming a full editor at 21 -- the youngest in the SF
book industry today.

Which under the best of circumstances would be a stressful thing to be.
And real life never happens under the best of circumstances. Jenna can
also be dismissive, tactless, and wrongheaded. I've wanted to drop-kick
her out the 14th floor of the Flatiron Building at times. No doubt she's
wanted to do the same to me. We are very similar in some ways,Trump talks NYT 'treason,' Nike and Kavanaugh

America, where he lives in New York. He took up photography, he said, because there were not many alternatives. "Photography was simple," he explained. "All you had to do was take a good picture. My father wanted me to work in a bank, but I left school at 13 I couldn't count."

Mr Benson has photographed John Lennon and his killer, Mark Chapman; he has taken pictures of every American president since Dwight Eisenhower (1953-61); he photographed Elizabeth Taylor before and after her brain surgery; he persuaded Michael Jackson to let him into his bedroom; and Tommy Sheridan to take his top off after he won his defamation action against the News of the World.

Luke Joyce studied photography last year at Stevenson College where students consistently win national andwas Mr Benson's advice to budding photographers? Arrive early and leave late, he said. Be original: "I want to show you a picture you've not seen before that's what makes it interesting"; and if you are photographing the rich and famous, do not become star struck. "If you're given an assignment, you should be thinking about it and not: 'I'm photographing the president'."

Mr Benson's career has not been all glitz and glamour. He photo-graphed the American civil rights movement and has worked in war zones. He took pictures of the pall of smoke above the Twin Towers' wreckage and of a group of gun weilding vigilantes after Hurricane Katrina had hit. "You've got to be prepared."

Like the night Robert Kennedy was shot. Mr Benson was just yards away


when it happened, but he had not planned to go to the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles that night. The story was over Kennedy had won the California Democratic presidential primary election but at the last minute, Mr Benson cancelled dinner with friends and went to hear Kennedy's short victory speech.

"I was going to leave with the crowd, then I thought it would be quicker to go out with Bobby," he said. "One girl screamed. Bobby was falling down in slow motion. Ethel (his wife) was screaming to give him air. I was getting punched and thrown off balance as I changed film and put it in my sock. Other people were being shot around me five others were shot that day."

Updated October 12, 2019. | California just became the first state to ban the sale of fur. Governor Gavin Newsom signed the landmark bill into law today after it passed a Senate floor vote last month.

AB 44 was presented by Assemblywoman Laura Friedman last December. The bill prohibits animal fur products from being sold, manufactured, offered for sale, displayed for sale, traded, donated, or distributed in any way in the state.

The sale of clothing, shoes, hats, key chains, and handbags containing fur are also banned under the law. Those who breach the ruling could face civil penalties. Prior to the bill’s passage, fur was banned in several California cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, and West Hollywood.

“California has made history by becoming the first U.S state to bansubdivisions adjacent to her property. Franks owns a parcel of upgraded real property in Kuliouou Valley, Honolulu. Her property is directly south of the Kau Hale Aupuni O Kuliouou Subdivision (Kau Hale) and directly north of the Kuliouou Circle Cluster Subdivision (Kiliouou Cluster). The City's Department of Public Works had issued grading permits for the Kau Hale and Kuliouou Cluster subdivisions. The City's Building Department had also issued building permits for the construction of residences within both subdivisions. The development of Kau Hale entailed alteration of the natural water run-off for this area and construction of a replacement drainage system. Franks essentially alleges that the defendants were negligent in the design, construction, grading, excavation, and development of the subdivisions and that the City negligently issued grading and construction


permits. Franks contends that, as a result of the defendants' negligence, her property has sustained damages due to the instability of her land.
The City filed a third-party complaint in circuit court against ESH and Soils, as well as other third-party defendants who were not parties to the original suit, seeking contribution and indemnification. The City alleged, inter alia, that Franks's injuries and damages were the result of ESH and Soils's professional negligence in the design of grading plans and soils analysis of the area, and that the City essentially relied upon their findings in issuing the grading and construction permits.
ESH, later joined by Soils, moved to dismiss the City's third-party complaint on the grounds that the City was statutorily precluded from proceeding with litigation in the circuit courtagainst design professionals. The original purpose was to benefit design professionals by preventing "individuals from becoming involved in frivolous and costly suits" and to assure "that only reasonable and meritorious claims are brought to the [c]ourt's attention... result[ing] in the savings of time and money of all involved."

After my usual Saturday routine of changing the bed linens, putting the sheets in the washer, and enjoying my coffee, yogurt, and bagel with the morning paper, I was off early to get to Samuel's Upward Bound basketball game. I was impressed with the progress in skills that the boys have made.

After a very special conversation with another team member's grandmother who had gone to school to my mother and dad at the Jonesboro Grade School and who took me down memory lane, I hurried downto Union County to treat myself to attending the Writers Group there. It is really too far to go often, but since Pat Evans had sold my book to a fellow church member, I had a special reason to attend: Pat could take her the autographed book tomorrow. At the Stinson Library parking lot, I enjoyed seeing bright red letters on the outside of the downstairs windows beckoning us in with the word: WRITERS. It was very satisfying to know I was wanted inside!

Today the program was done by two UCWG members: (1) our president Joanne Blakely, who does literacy workshops with both adults and children encouraging them to express themselves through poetry and (2) Barbara Steffans, a friend from long ago, giving instructions on binding a book--for


those who might want to gift a grandchild or someone special with a very personal copy of a handmade book. And there was lots of chatter about upcoming meetings, workshops, conferences, places to submit, and writing experiences as the members found delight in communing with others who share their interest and enthusiasm about the solitary occupation of communing with our computers.

Afterwards it was fun eating Chinese on the main street restaurant there in Anna with Pat and also Lois Barrett, who had driven all the way from Harrisburg, defying those who want her to slow down after her surgery. Lois was sporting a T shirt with her name and her book's name: When the Earthquake Spoke on the front and on the back an actual picture of thecover of her novel about the 1812 earthquake in this region. After a laughter-filled lunch, I headed back up Route 57 to the farm to get ready to travel to Harrisburg ourselves for the 25th wedding anniversay of Basil and Melody Holmes.

The Holmes' church have a school and a youth minstry in the old Malan Junior High School at Harrisburg, so there was a large auditorium for the solemn and impressive ceremony, where their three beautiful daughters and others sang, and Melody and Basil renewed their vows with a salt covenant--something I had not seen before. Their declarations to each other of their continuing love and of being each other's best friend brought tears to most eyes.

Next we moved up to the school's cafeteria for a lovely dinner


and visiting with friends, and we got to see the bridal couple kiss again. After the wedding cake, we saw their anniversary dance. It is good to see couples still in love after 25 years together.

I went to bed early to be rested to head to Marion, Kentucky, which would be quite an adventure for me. I was planning to go to Samuel's basketball game at 8:30 in Marion, IL, but leave early to meet Pat Evans in the church parking lot and take off to Harrisburg and eventually cross the Ohio River to Marion, KY, and meet Dallas Cain and a group of Cherokee including someone from Tahlequah. My hope was that one more person, who is especially knowledgable, might know or hear aboutfound out last night when we talked on the phone. And my granddaughter Tara and new husband Bryan are up north, where his family is giving a lovely reception for them. Fortunately we did not accept that invitation although we would have loved to be there.

Tara's mother had already made flight arrangements in December to be in Las Vegas to see Erin play at the opening tournament of Notre Dame's softball season yesterday. We were not surprised when Gerry managed to make arrangements to leave his lodge in Mexico so that he could be there with Vickie to see those important first games of the season.

ND lost their first game yesterday (barely) and won the second. By now they have played the third game, and I am expecting


had never seen that done before, but it was very effective. Then at the reception afterwards, Gerald bought me the well-researched book by M. Kay duPont and she graciously signed the books for all of there at her table. What a delightful evening seeing and talking to friends at the Civic Center and being allowed into the heart and mind of Mary Todd Lincoln and her husband for 90 minutes. I have already started the book, but made myself put it down.

Gerald has been viewing old videos for a few days now. He was doing so on Saturday, and I was miserable wanting to join him. I could hear the giggling and very young voices of our long-ago grandchildren drifting up the stairway, and it took discipline forCentre Mall. Our tables were scattered from one end of the mall to the other, so the writers missed getting to visit with one another as we often do. But it was good to see Kestner Wallace again as his table was next to mine. His children were with him, and when he substituted for Violet Toler as a reader, I was told his daughter read for him. My table was just outside the community room, and I wanted to go hear that and other presentations, but I couldn't leave my table of course. Also on our end of the hall was Lois Barrett getting to make her first signing since her surgery, and she was accompanied by her two sharp teenage grandchildren: Noelle--already a published poet--and Matt


He later made a called to his uncle Narendra Singh, informing him about his arrival.

The officer said Singh then called another relative, Shivram Singh Chauhan, and went to Gole Market to meet him. “He had his breakfast at Chauhan’s home and then went to Jantar Mantar. Around 1.20 pm, he called his sister and asked her to turn on the TV and said, “in the next 10 minutes, something big will happen”,” the officer said.

Sources said that a day before his death, Singh had spoken to nearly 30 people on phone.

PHOENIX - Better weather helped firefighters battling a central Arizona wildfire, but the blaze continued to grow, stirring concern in at least three communities.
The 9-day-old fire, which had charred 174,250 acres by Thursday, was completely uncontained in the northern section and 40 percent contained in the southern zone, closer to Phoenix.
It may have dealt a fatal blow to one of the world's largest saguaro cactuses, officials said.
Firefighters in some areas got a boost from lower winds and higher humidity levels Wednesday and Thursday.
Wind put flames 20 miles southwest of the mountain communities of Pine and Strawberry, and the fire was about 4¶ miles east of Black Canyon City, fire crew spokeswoman Rebeca Franco said. No evacuations were


planned yet, Franco said.
"Fire always appears to be closer than it actually is. It's like an optical illusion sometimes. When there's a lot of smoke, it seems even closer," she said
On the eastern flank, firefighters worked to stop flames from jumping the Verde River, a move that could let the flames push into a canyon and race into Pine and Strawberry. The towns together have a population of about 6,000 in the summer.
The ponderosa pine forest surrounding the towns has already been hard hit by tree-killing beetles in recent years, said Vinnie Picard, another fire spokesman.
More than 200 residents packed a Black Canyon City park Wednesday night to hear about the firefighting efforts, following similar meetings in Pine and Strawberry.
"We do have to be prepared, but there's noreason for panic," said Strawberry inn owner Cheryl Holland.
The blaze began June 21 as two lightning-started fires and destroyed 11 homes near Cave Creek, just north of Phoenix.
The 46-foot saguaro cactus dubbed the Grand One, recognized as one of the world's largest, was scorched, and Tonto National Forest spokeswoman Emily Garber said she feared for its survival. "As much as I'd like to be optimistic, I'm not," Garber said.
The picturesque cactus, which could be two centuries old, is recognized in the National Register of Big Trees for its height, mass of limbs and a base circumference of nearly 8 feet.
The National Interagency Fire Center said Wednesday that 22 active large fires had burned across more than 905,000 acres in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Utah.
In Nevada,


good weather and an increased firefighting force helped slow huge wildfires burning in a vast area of southern Nevada. The total fire zone covers approximately 500,000 acres.
In Utah, relieved residents of the southwest community of New Harmony - nearly consumed by a 12,000-acre wildfire - have returned to their homes.
Officials Wednesday said they were most concerned about a 4,300-acre wildfire burning in the Desert Red Cliff Preserve about 10 miles north of St. George. The fire is burning in the prime location for habitat and native grasses for the endangered desert tortoise.

On the Net:
National Interagency Fire Center: http://www.nifc.gov/After lamenting in a previous issue of the AIMS Journal that there did not seem to be any books for children about water birth, I received a lovely book in the post from the Millinson family. The book was written by them when expecting their third child, and the illustrations were drawn by the two older children.

The title is the comment made by their son when he first saw the birth pool.

The book is in an A4 format, spiral-bound, and contains a mix of colour photographs, text and black-and-white drawings. The text is simple but informative, and offers a useful starting point for children ages three to seven years.

The 'story' starts by explaining that Mummy has a baby in her tummy and that "the uterus is like a


stretchy bag which holds the baby tight like a cuddle". The text goes on to explore the relationships between the 'Hump' and the children, and also describes how mother is changing.

"Mummy is having our baby at home", and the role of the midwife is beautifully described as "The midwife stays with us and helps Mummy and the baby". This is accompanied by a delightful photograph of a smiling midwife interacting with the children while the mother leans on the side of the pool.

The big pool of water was clearly a big hit with the children as "we all got in" which, from the picture, included Dad as well.

"Later, the water helped the baby to come out". I think this reflects the experience of many families (rather than couples)life. Over the years I have been afraid, if not of her exactly, then of the power of her deed."

In 1919, Beth Wood took her 10-day-old twins down to the yard in the night and drowned them in a tin bath. She had no memory of what she had done. She was found guilty of murder but, as it was obvious to everyone that she was not in her right mind, she was sent to Broadmoor.

Indeed, she had been far from well when the pregnancy started; she had been in a state of profound grief since her four-year-old daughter had died from diphtheria; she could not stop crying and had become painfully thin.

The family pleaded for her to come home from Broadmoor, insisting that she was a good


mother to her other children, and she was discharged two years later.

The author of this book was 10 years old when she learned what her great-grandmother had done - and in strange circumstances. Her own mother was about to give birth, and her granny warned her to keep an eye on her "because mothers can sometimes do funny things after they have a baby".

Although it forms only a short part of this superbly written book, it is the account of two births - Beth's twins and the author's first child - which fascinated me. The twins had, in fact, been triplets, but the third was lost because the domiciliary midwife (highly experienced, with a good reputation) used ergot to clamp down the uterus after the birth of thesecond. With the birth of the third, Beth had an extensive tear and massive haemorrhage, and had to go into hospital for a transfusion. She walked only with difficulty at the inquest.

The author, Sian Busby, had a transverse lie for her first baby, and was shocked to learn she needed a caesarean. She, too, had a nearly fatal postpartum haemorrhage, and left hospital "a bloodless" wreck. The nightmares and flashbacks of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) followed. She had constant dreams in which mothers stood around watching their babies drown. Then, when awake, she thought, "What if I were to put a pillow over my baby's face?" She links this experience to the family tragedy. But I have heard many similar stories from mothers after traumatic births: dreams of


Greene-Bryant Insurance Company and Freeman. The cancellation notice was received about 10 November 1981, but IPBS reinstated the policy on 30 November 1981, when payment for the September and October premiums was made.
Freeman then failed to remit a timely payment for the installment due on 1 November 1981, and IPBS mailed a cancellation notice to Freeman and Greene-Bryant Insurance Company 10 days later, to become effective 28 November 1981. Freeman contends that the policy was reinstated by IPBS in a letter dated 9 December 1981, and that Freeman paid both the November and December installments. Freeman has failed to include the IPBS letter of 9 December 1981 in the record, however, and we are therefore unable to determine the legal effect of its contents.

The evidence establishes that no bond currently exists between appellees and D. H.; the grandparents have not seen the child since she was four years old, have not sent a birthday card or Christmas present in over two years, and have not provided any financial support since the child was an infant. As a result, the child, now six years old, knows the appellees only through photographs.
There is also extensive evidence in the record that the child's mother, appellant, and the appellees have been estranged for at least two years and that their previous relationship was poor, at best. Appellant's husband, the child's prospective adoptive father, testified that the appellees had instructed the child not to call him "daddy," but to call himManchester United have moved a step closer to making Paul Pogba the first £100million footballer by telling his club Juventus they will pay a world-record transfer fee for the 23-year-old French superstar.

Juventus have demanded a nine-figure sum for their talisman which has scared off United's rivals Real Madrid, PSG and Manchester City.

But the Old Trafford club – who are less affected by financial fairplay rules because of their huge commercial revenues – are prepared to pay a price that will smash the £86m paid by Real Madrid for Gareth Bale in 2013, and handPogba £250,000 a week.

A CCORDING TO POLLS, most Israelis do not want Binyamin Netanyahu, their prime minister, to serve another term. Many are fed up with the corruption allegations that have been swirling around him for months. He may soon be indicted on charges of bribery and breach of trust. Yet Mr Netanyahu’s Likud party is still on track to win the next election, which he has called for April 9th (seven months earlier than originally scheduled), in part to head off the charges.

Mr Netanyahu can boast of peace and prosperity on his watch, but if he remains prime minister it will be in large part because the opposition is hopelessly divided. Since the election was announced on December 24th, five new opposition parties have been formed. They join an alreadyseem to have few discernible differences over policy—or much of an agenda at all. They offer no new solutions to Israel’s intractable conflict with the Palestinians. The most popular new party, Israel Resilience, is led by Benny Gantz (pictured), a decorated former general. He has so far refused interview requests, saying his party’s aim is “to strengthen the state of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state in the spirit of the Zionist vision”. Other party leaders offer similar bromides on the need for unity and re-ordering national priorities.

The Labour Party has long dominated Israeli politics, espousing a socialist ideology. In recent years, though, it has tacked towards the centre and formed an alliance with Hatnuah, another centrist party, re-branding themselves the “Zionist Union”. On January 1st the


allies split. Labour, which has had a series of lacklustre leaders, has lost most of its support. It has not led a government since 2001 and now attracts under 10% of the vote, according to polls.

The other centrist parties are younger and built around ambitious leaders, such as Moshe Kahlon, the finance minister, who heads the Kulanu party, and Orly Levi-Abekasis, a three-term Knesset member, who leads the Gesher party. They hope to create their own power base. Many of Mr Netanyahu’s opponents seem to be waiting, not for the election, but for the legal system to bring him down. In the coming months the attorney-general is expected to hold pre-trial hearings over whether to charge the prime minister.

Mr Netanyahu says he will not step down if indicted.An election victory would give him some political cover to stay on. But his opponents believe this is the beginning of the end of his time in office, which in July would surpass the record set by David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister. Some on the right spy an opportunity. On December 29th Naftali Bennett and Ayelet Shaked, the education and justice ministers, announced the formation of a new party, called the New Right, which will field religious and secular candidates. Mr Bennett, at least, thinks that Mr Netanyahu’s job is up for grabs.

Brenda Snipes, the supervisor of elections for Broward County, Florida, reportedly submitted her resignation on Sunday after a tumultuous two-week recount effort following this month’s midterms.

Snipes, 75, has overseen the region’s elections since she was appointed by former Gov. Jeb Bush (R) in 2003. But she became a frequent target of President Donald Trump and other Republicans during the 2018 election due to disappearing ballots, issues with sloppy signatures and a missed deadline to deliver recount results.

Her resignation was first reported by the Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale and a representative later confirmed the news to NBC 6. Snipes’ team did not respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.

For example, composite lumber is currently used for decking, railing systems and playground equipment. Sources indicate that there currently exists a $300 million per year market for composite lumber in the United States. It is estimated that 80% of the current market uses a form of wood plastic composite (WPC). It is estimated that the other 30% is solid plastic. A wood plastic composite (WPC) refers to any composite that contains wood particles mixed with a thermaloset or thermoplastic. The WPC industry uses common wood species related to their region for the United States including pine, maple, oak and others. Particle sizes that are typically incorporated into WPC's range from 10 to 80% mesh.

Plate umpire Lance Barksdale actually called a decent game by the current standards for umpires, but the combination of an untimely blown call and a hot-mic video of his rationale behind another poor judgment illustrated why automated balls and strikes must be part of baseball's future sooner than later.

Nobody in the Washington Nationals clubhouse would say as much on the record, not after their third consecutive loss, a 7-1 clubbing by the Houston Astros, who took a 3-2 series lead and now have two chances to clinch a championship at home.

It was a brutal break -- higher than the pitch to Zimmerman, farther outside than the pitch to Zimmerman, still a strikeout. Although Zimmerman's words after the game were accurate -- "Lance didn't lose us the game tonight," he said, "Gerrit Cole beat us" -- a walk presumably would have chased Cole from the game and allowed Washington to bring the tying run to the plate.

"We all make mistakes," Robles said. "I felt like he might have made a mistake on that pitch, but that's part of being human, human nature."

She created report cards that detail the academic performance of individual schools, brought the state into compliance with new federal testing and accountability rules, and guided the development of new academic standards. The controversy created from her proposed social studies standards played a big part in her Senate confirmation hearings. Some considered the initials drafts tainted by conservative viewpoints

DFL critics claimed Yecke was a divisive force in public education. Senatecan work on education policy. She'll also look for a political climate less divisive than the one she's experienced in Minnesota.

"It is so unfortunate that the level of political discourse has fallen into the gutter. It is just the politics of personal destruction. You see it in Washington. You shouldn't see it anywhere. You see it in Washington. I never expected to see it here in the heartland," she said.
Yecke says she's advising the state's next education commissioner to stand tall and never be satisfied with the status quo. Still, she wonders who might want the job under the current climate.

David Strom of the Taxpayers League of Minnesota says he also see a potential problem filling the position. Strom, who's been a Yecke supporter, says the confirmation vote


over long time with its pen tip down, ink oozes out from the passage hole over the passage of time, staining its appearance, or in the worst case, the collector retaining grooves below the passage hole alone are filled up with ink, causing ink to flood out through the air hole. There is also an exudation problem that ink spontaneously oozes and spreads out through the passage hole from the internal ink feed such as an pen core as an ink feeder portion.
Further, it was also found that when the writing instrument is used under a condition in which a sharp change in pressure occurs such as on an airplane, the pressure on the ink tank side acts on the ink and causes the ink to directly floodretaining groove located at a position more rearwards and closer to the ink tank side than the front most retaining groove (preferably at a retaining groove located more rearwards, by skipping one or more grooves, from the front most one to the ink tank side).

In the case where the collector inner hollow incorporating the feeder portion is comprised of a small-diametric portion and a large-diametric portion located on the tip side, more frontward than the small-diametric portion, the following


The ever-reasonable Mark Thoma makes a restrained case for progressive taxation and gets disheartened by the aggressive bile he receives from online commenters.

Thoma points out that the US economy hasn't, by any serious measure, prospered as a result of the declining fiscal burden faced by the super-rich. But his argument also receives strong support from comparative analysis. A quick look around the advanced world shows that the most unequal societies are also the worst performers in the post-crisis scenario. In Europe, egalitarian Sweden, Holland and Germany are the strongest performers, whilst less progressive economies such as Ireland, Greece and Italy suffer (not to mention the UK). In North America, Canada is in much better shape than the US.

Nice post by Kash Mansori at The Streetthe North-South dimension of Europe's problems.

It's hard to know where to start, but here goes. The least interesting part of the nonsense Greenspan talks is that he rehearses the standard story about Mediterranean profligacy, of the Southern periphery living beyond its means as it hurtled to its inevitable reckoning with the harsh reality of the bond markets. This story is still popular, despite being debunked over and over, most recently by Mansori here. It is popular, of course, for the reason that it blames the victim, a common response on the part of the supporters of free market capitalism to the crises their prescriptions generate.

What more interesting is the apparently unselfconscious Orientalism of Greenspan's assessment of the Southern countries. Greenspan's analysis of the North-South divide in Europe goes


On International Women's Day, NASA Looks Forward to First All-Female EVA in Late March; Koch Tapped for Longer ISS Stay

As the world observes International Women’s Day today (Friday, 8 March), we are reminded not only of the past accomplishments of female spacefarers—including Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space; Svetlana Savitskaya, the first woman to perform a spacewalk; Eileen Collins, the first woman to command a space mission; and Peggy Whitson, the first woman to lead a space station expedition—but of the promise of future achievements, as-yet unrealized.

In the coming weeks, NASA plans three periods of Extravehicular Activity (EVA) outside the International Space Station (ISS), involving four first-time spacewalkers from the United States and Canada. On the second of those three EVAs, on 29 March, U.S. astronauts AnneMcClain and Christina Koch will make history by performing the first-ever all-female spacewalk. And according to NASA, Koch may remain aboard the station to achieve the second-longest single mission ever performed by a woman.

All told, just 62 women from the United States, Russia, Canada, Italy, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, South Korea and China have achieved Earth-orbital flight between Tereshkova’s pioneering mission on Vostok 6 in June 1963 and the launch of NASA’s Anne McClain aboard Soyuz MS-11 last December. Fewer still have performed spacewalks, with a mere 12 women to date—out of a total of more than 200 astronauts—having departed their orbital spacecraft, clad in pressurized suits, to work in near-total vacuum.

Yet the 37 EVAs conducted between July 1984 and, most recently, May 2017, which have included


female spacewalkers, have been responsible for some of the most remarkable accomplishments in human exploration of the cosmos.

The Soviet Union’s Svetlana Savitskaya was the first woman spacewalker, spending 3.5 hours working outside the Salyut 7 space station in July 1984, after which NASA’s Kathy Sullivan did likewise outside shuttle Challenger the following October. Savitskaya evaluated a new space-welding tool, whilst Sullivan trialed an in-space refueling mechanism.

The first woman to make two EVAs was also the first woman to make three—Kathy Thornton, who supported Space Station Freedom construction tests on STS-49 in May 1992, then became the only female spacewalker to work on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) during STS-61 in December 1993—and Linda Godwin stands alone as the only woman to spacewalk outside two discrete space stations, namelyMir and the ISS.

Susan Helms was a participant on the longest EVA ever conducted—a marathon, eight-hour-and-56-minute excursion, back in March 2001—whilst the current incumbent record-holder is former NASA Chief Astronaut Peggy Whitson, who has totaled 60 hours and 21 minutes in vacuum, across ten EVAs between August 2002 and May 2017. This positions her fourth on the list of most experienced spacewalkers in the world, sitting just behind seasoned Russian heavyweight Anatoli Solovyov and NASA veterans Mike Lopez-Alegria and Drew Feustel.

For several years, an element of unspoken lighthearted competition existed between Whitson and fellow NASA astronaut Suni Williams, as the mantle of most experienced female spacewalker pingponged between them. Williams has presently logged over 50 hours across her seven EVAs, whilst five other women—Tammy Jernigan, Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper, Nicole


who travelled to the neighbouring prefecture of Macenta to consult a healer, has also died and has since tested positive for Ebola, bringing the total number of probable and confirmed Ebola deaths in the flare-up to 5.

Local health authorities have reactivated the emergency coordination mechanism that was in place during the height of the Ebola epidemic in Nzérékoré, and a rapidly growing inter-agency response is in full motion. WHO has deployed dozens of epidemiologists, surveillance experts, contact tracers, vaccinators, social mobilizers, health promoters, and infection prevention and control experts to support the effort.

As of today, 816 contacts have been identified from 107 households in the immediate vicinity of the home of the confirmed and probable cases in Koropara. More than 100 of the contacts are considered high risk.transmission chains and are not an introduction of the virus from the animal population.

The sub-prefecture of Koropara, which has a population of about 8200 residents, was originally hit by Ebola from October to December 2014. There were 24 Ebola cases, 15 deaths and 9 survivors. This re-emergence of Ebola in Guinea is the first since the original outbreak in the country was declared over on 29 December 2015.

These new Ebola infections in Guinea were confirmed on the same day, 17 March, that WHO declared the end of the latest Ebola flare-up in neighbouring Sierra Leone. In a statement, WHO said recurrences of the disease must be be anticipated, largely due to virus persistence in some survivors, and that the three Ebola-affected countries must maintain strong capacity to prevent,


Libya: Gaddafi in spotlight at UN Security Council Published duration 26 February 2011

image caption UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has demanded "decisive action" from the Security Council

The UN Security Council is meeting to consider action against Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's government in Libya over its attempts to put down an uprising.

A draft resolution calls for an arms embargo, travel ban and asset freeze.

It also proposes referring Col Gaddafi to the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity.

Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama has, for the first time, said the Libyan leader should step down and leave the country "now".

The White House said Mr Obama made his position clear to German Chancellor Angela Merkel during a telephone conversation on Saturday evening.

"The president stated that when a leader's only means ofstaying in power is to use mass violence against his own people, he has lost the legitimacy to rule and needs to do what is right for his country by leaving now," it said in a statement.

Earlier, one of Col Gaddafi's sons, Saif al-Islam, insisted that normal life was continuing in three-quarters of Libya. By contrast, anti-Gaddafi forces say they control 80% of the country.

Each side's claims are difficult to confirm but it is known that the opposition controls the second city Benghazi, while Col Gaddafi still controls the capital Tripoli, home to two million of the country's 6.5 million population.

The UN estimates more than 1,000 people have died in the 10-day-old revolt.

The global body's World Food Programme has warned that the food distribution system is "at risk


imposed sanctions against Libya, and closed its embassy in Tripoli.

Evacuation

Thousands of foreign nationals - many of them employed in the oil industry - continue to be evacuated from the country by air, sea and land.

Saturday saw two British military transport aircraft pick up about 150 foreign nationals in the desert south of Benghazi and fly them to the Mediterranean island of Malta.

Britain also announced it had temporarily closed its embassy in Tripoli and pulled out its staff on the last UK government-chartered aircraft because of the deteriorating security situation.

BBC Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen, at Tripoli airport, reports that about 10,000 people remain outside the terminal building and several thousand more are inside. He saw piles of discarded luggage and personal possessions, even TVs, abandoned by people who'vebeen desperate to get out.

Most of the people trying to leave are Egyptians, and many of them told our correspondent they had been waiting there for seven days.

Friday saw Col Gaddafi make a defiant address to supporters in Tripoli and reports of anti-government demonstrators in several areas of the city coming under fire from government troops and pro-Gaddafi militiamen.

On Saturday the capital city was calm, with shops open and people on the streets. A Libyan journalist told the BBC that supporters of Colonel Gaddafi were occupying central Green Square in a public show of support.

Outside the capital, anti-Gaddafi protesters are consolidating their power in Benghazi. Leaders of the uprising are setting up committees to run the city and deliver basic services.


The former legal manager of Rupert Murdoch's News International has been arrested in connection with the phone hacking scandal.

Barrister Tom Crone, 60, was being held at his home on suspicion of intercepting communications, and has been taken for questioning at a police station.

Mr Crone - the legal executive at the now-defunct News of the World tabloid - is the 25th person to be arrested in the investigation.

He gained prominence in the Leveson inquiry when he contradicted the evidence of James Murdoch about exactly when the former executive chairman of News International knew the hacking scandal involved more than one rogue reporter.

In all, more than 70 people have been arrested as investigations continue into phone, and computer hacking, and corrupt payments to officials.

Among them are former editor and primeminister David Cameron's ex-media chief, Andy Coulson, and Rebekah Brooks, who oversaw Rupert Murdoch's British newspaper arm, News International.

Brooks will make a further appearance in court next week over charges relating to phone hacking.

The scandal has not only rocked News Corp, it has put the notoriously aggressive British press under the spotlight and embarrassed senior politicians, including Mr Cameron, over their often cosy ties with the Australian-born businessman.

Mr Crone resigned from his post in July last year at the height of public anger over the hacking revelations.

He subsequently fell out with Rupert Murdoch and James Murdoch, who he accused of giving false information to a parliamentary committee about an email in 2008 which indicated hacking was widespread on the tabloid.

James Murdoch has denied knowing about the full scale


of the problem until it became apparent last year and said Mr Crone himself had misled politicians.

At a public inquiry into Britain's newspaper industry ordered by Mr Cameron in the wake of the outcry over phone-hacking, the elder Murdoch blamed a culture of cover-up on Mr Crone, an allegation the lawyer described as a "shameful lie".

The arrest comes as senior judge Justice Brian Leveson prepares to deliver the findings from his 10-month inquiry into press ethics after hearing evidence from hundreds of witnesses, including many who condemned papers' tactics and behaviour.

One newspaper editor says Mr Leveson had sent a letter to major newspaper groups giving them advance warning of possible criticism in his final report, calling it a "damning indictment" of the industry.

"The best way I can describe"Pakistan has an agenda to abet terrorism in the Valley, but we are equally resolved to defeat it," Azad told reporters in Ludhiana.

"We have strong determination to curb terrorism and finish it out," he said.

In reply to a question regarding the damage caused by the October 8 earthquake, Azad said that around 1,300 people lost their lives, 50,000 were injured and 95,000 houses had collapsed.

"While three sectors - Poonch, Uri and Dandar -- were totally destroyed, partial damage was caused to certain other areas of Kashmir, which was yet to be ascertained. The survey for that would start soon," he said.

Azad also extended invitation to Punjab industrialists to set up units in the Kashmir Valley and assured full protection.

Ultimately, investors are going to start looking at more than just revenue growth, and while Aphria will certainly see growth continue, its distinct advantage right now is its focus on profitability rather than growth at all costs.

Focus on cost comes from the top

One of the big advantages Aphria has is its CEO, Vic Neufeld. He previously led Jamieson Wellness as CEO for over 21 years as the company built and expanded the premiere vitamin brand. Leadership is a big part of growing a company, and Aphria has a good head on its shoulders that will help it achieve success.

Neufeld has been an advocate of driving down costs for the company, and one of the ways Aphria hasthey feel? Looking back, I think part of me fell under the spell of history that day, although I would have denied it at the time.

The five engines were supposed to fire in unison for more than three minutes, when four of the outboard boosters were expected to shut down and fall away from the launcher. The core RD-191 engine — operated at a partial thrust throttle setting in the first phase of the flight — was programmed to ramp up to full power and continue burning until it consumed all of its kerosene and liquid oxygen propellant supply.

Female Life Scientists in Academia File Fewer Patents

Women life scientists in higher education patent their work at a rate of 40% of their male peers, according to a recently published article co-authored by University of California, Berkeley Haas School of Business Assistant Professor Waverly Ding.

Although the gender gap in the academic life sciences has narrowed, the gap in female faculty’s commercialization of scientific research – as measured by patenting activity – remains wide, according to the new research by Ding and co-authors Fiona Murray of the MIT Sloan School of Management and Toby E. Stuart of Harvard Business School. Their findings will be published in the Aug. 4 issue of Science magazine.

“There are many studies that investigate the gender gap in other areas of attainment such as productivity,describe the challenges associated with balancing research, teaching, and commercialization. “Unlike their male counterparts, who described their patenting decisions as unproblematic and driven by translational interests, female faculty expressed concern about the potentially negative impact that patenting might have on education, collegiality, and research quality,” the authors wrote.

On the bright side, the authors uncovered some encouraging signs that the gender gap is narrowing for younger women faculty. While their interviews found few senior faculty made the transition to patenting, female and male junior faculty held similar attitudes toward patenting, their interviews found.

Ten years after getting their PhDs, the youngest group of female faculty studied (those earning their PhDs from 1986 to 1995) had a similar average patenting rate to their male colleagues. By contrast, male faculty who earned

FERG BLURBS -- The Cranberries Have A Haunting New Song

April 19, 2019

The Cranberries, and lead singer Dolores O'Riordan in particular, were looking forward to the release of their latest album, and with the demo work done, the vocals laid out, and the studio work to follow, everyone was confident in what was to come with their latest endeavor. Unfortunately, tragedy struck in mid-January of 2018, when O'Riordan was found in her hotel bathtub, dead from what was later to be revealed as an accidental drowning.

The other members of the band (Mike Hogan, Noel Hogan, Fergal Lawler) closed ranks, considered the future, and decided to continue with the work they had set out on with Dolores for what would ultimately be their final album. Come 2019,


it was time to start revealing tracks, which they did with "All Over Now" and "Wake Me When It's Over" earlier this year.

And now, we have the title track, "In The End," the final song on an album which will be released next Friday (April 26th). Afterwards, the band members have agreed to discontinue as the Cranberries. And man, what a song to end this album on. According to SPIN magazine, this was the last song the band recorded before Dolores' untimely end.

Video of The Cranberries - In The End (Official Audio)

Dolores' performance, as always, gives life to this airy, almost dream-like song, and is a picture perfect way to end the album. I can't wait to hear the whole thing next week.Washington State University Libraries

While green sea turtles are found throughout the world in subtropical waters, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientists point out that Hawaiian green sea turtles are genetically distinct from other populations.

They nest primarily in the French Frigate Shoals of the Northwestern Islands, within the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument.

The species population was in a nose-dive in the 1970s due to the harvesting of eggs and turtles by humans, according to NOAA. Federal protection began in 1978, and since then, the population has increased 53 percent.

The turtles eat algae and live to be around 70 years old. NOAA scientists say they don’t reach sexual maturity until 25 or 35 years of age, and females lay six clutches of about 100 eggs every twocall the cosmic distance ladder: a set of objects with known distances that, when combined with the speeds at which the objects are moving away from us, reveal the expansion rate of the universe," said Glenn Wahlgren, Spitzer program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington.

Spitzer observed 90 cepheid stars, and was able to measure their apparent brightness more precisely than previous studies, leading the way to a more refined measurement of their distances, and the expansion rate of space.

The Spitzer telescope was launched in August 2003, and ran out of cryogenic coolant to chill its instruments in May 2009. Without coolant, the observatory can't see in all the wavelengths it was originally designed for. Since then, however, Spitzer's been running on a second, "warm" mission that's proven fruitful
