Electrospinning of chitosan dissolved in concentrated acetic acid solution.
Chitosan nanofibers were electrospun from aqueous chitosan solution using concentrated acetic acid solution as a solvent. A uniform nanofibrous mat of average fiber diameter of 130 nm was obtained from the following optimum condition: 7% chitosan solution in aqueous 90% acetic acid solution was successfully electrospun in the electric field of 4 kV/cm. The aqueous acetic acid concentration higher than 30% was prerequisite for chitosan nanofiber formation, because more concentrated acetic acid in water progressively decreased surface tension of the chitosan solution and concomitantly increased charge density of jet without significant effect on solution viscosity. However, acetic acid solution more than 90% did not dissolve enough chitosan to make spinnable viscous concentration. Only chitosan of a molecular weight of 106,000A playboy who tried to blackmail the Royal Family killed himself by taking a lethal cocktail of drugs, an inquest heard.

Ian Strachan was found dead on Christmas Eve just hours after seeing his mum at his plush flat in Marylebone, central London, the hearing was told.

Strachan, originally from Aberdeen and also known as Paul Adalsteinsson, grew up in Aberdeen and attended the city’s Grammar School.

He was jailed in May 2008 with co-accused Sean McGuigan for demanding £50,000 from an unnamed male member of the Royal Family for tapes in which a staff member made lurid claims against him.

Strachan and McGuigan had threatened to expose the royal if he did not pay up. But Strachan claimed he was the victim of a smear campaign.

He was sentenced to five years


in May 2008 but released after 22 months.

Yesterday an inquest into his death heard he had registered to three separate practices, two GPs and a private clinic to feed his prescription drug habit.

Witnesses claimed Strachan used different names – including Paul Stein – to obtain a vast variety of prescription drugs.

He had previously had his left leg amputated following a 30 ft fall from a balcony in 2013, when he also shattered his pelvis.

Witnesses said he had been visiting numerous hospitals – including Chelsea and Westminster and St Thomas’ – for surgery.

While in Dubai in 2015 a row erupted with authorities over a crashed Audi R8 and he spent 10 months in the Gulf country before making a daring escape via Iran, he told his GP.

For most observers, the main focus of their attention is what goes on on the field. But for any professional sports team, success is built from much more than just the events on the field. There is a ton of work behind-the-scenes to ensure that everything goes smoothly, especially when travelling on the road.

The man who organizes the details for the 'Caps is team administrator Steve Bridge, a.k.a. "The Man". Check out this video to get a better idea of his hard work:


Jose Calderon was with the Warriors for two hours but will be paid for the rest of the season.

Kevin Durant’s injury had a ripple effect throughout the Warriors organization. Before Durant hurt his knee on Tuesday, the Warriors had agreed to sign veteran point guard Jose Calderon, who had recently been waived by the Lakers. Once Durant was injured, however, the team decided it should use its final roster spot on another forward and reached out to Matt Barnes.

Golden State didn’t leave Calderon out to dry, though. The team signed him to a contract and released him two hours later to make room for Barnes. The Warriors also went a step further and agreed to pay Calderon what he would have earned if he was on the teamfor the rest of the season.

Calderon, 35, has played 12 seasons in the NBA with five different teams. The Warriors are the second team this season to employ Calderon without having him appear in a game. He was traded from the Knicks to the Bulls in June and traded again from Chicago to the Lakers in July.

The news marks a huge increase in the number of children in Britain seeking to change their gender.

The NHS has a specialist service for children wanting to change genders and referrals to it have risen by 700% over the past five years.

One Brighton charity, called Allsorts Youth Project, launched the UK's first-ever group for 'trans or gender-questioning' children aged five to 11.

Allsorts is believed to have 27 members with an average age of nine.

The group received £166,000 in public and lottery funding and runs awareness courses state secondary schools all over Brighton - including Dorothy Stringer.

And Allsorts isn't the only group to receive funding with several activists groups being supported by the public sector, the national lottery and the BBC's Children in Need.

Despite what's being said by Fox News and Christian news outlets about Phoenix pastor Michael Salman, he's not in jail for hosting bible studies at his place.

The former gang member is in jail for breaking the law -- again.

Salman told the City of Phoenix twice that he wasn't building a church in his backyard, then went ahead and built a church that was found responsible for 96 civil code violations, most of them related to how much of a fire hazard the building was.

There's been so much B.S. from Salman and his supporters about how he's being persecuted for his religion that


the city has actually put out a fact sheet explaining Salman's disregard for city ordinances, his decision to ignore the repeated warnings from the city, and how this whole mess has absolutely nothing to do with Salman's religion.

Salman told the city in 2007 that he was building a garage in his backyard. He did not build a garage in his backyard.

"Mr. Salman had regular gatherings of up to 80 people," the city says. "He held services twice a week and collected a tithe at the services. The building that he held services in had a dais and chairs were aligned in a pew formation. He held himself out as a being a church through the media (Harvest Christian Church) and claimed a church status for tax exemption purposeson his property."

That's a church.

Then Salman got a permit to have a "game room" in his backyard -- one that said "[a]ny other occupancy or use (business, commercial, assembly, church, etc.) is expressly prohibited."

Surprise -- no games were played. It was still a church.

By January 2010, the city found the church responsible for the 96 code violations, and in August 2010, he was found guilty of 67 misdemeanors -- to add to his rap sheet, next to his 1993 conviction for a drive-by shooting, and another time he was booked into jail for impersonating a police officer.

Salman's fought and fought his conviction -- still trying to claim his First Amendment right to practice his religion has been violated -- and believe it or not, his challenges never work.

Hayes Valley's Smuggler's Cove is generally considered one of the best rum bars on the planet, with a killer collection of 500+ bottles. Now, owner Martin Cate is hoping to do the same thing for gin that he did for rum. Along with bartender Alex Smith and John Park (managing partner at Novela), he plans to open a gin-centric bar, Whitechapel, in the former Noble space at Polk and Turk, stocking a collection of more than 400 gins and genevers that aims to be North America's most comprehensive.

The concept actually started with Smith, a Chron bar star who worked as a manager in Smuggler's early days before leading the bar programs at Novela and Gitane. "He's one of the most talented bartenders I know, and he gives mecredence as a rum guy," says Cate, who's really excited about gin's current breakout status in the craft spirits world. "I think gin is really underappreciated, and it's absolutely booming right now. There's a real decline in low-quality gin sales, but premium and ultra-premium gin sales are on the rise. I think it's got a really unfair reputation as being a fuddy-duddy spirit, and it's great in cocktails." Smith's cocktail menu will showcase gin's versatility and history, with recipes that play on the character of individual types and styles of gin. Distillery No. 209 will create a special house gin for Whitechapel, and Smuggler's Cove's popular Rumbustion Society will have an equivalent, the Polk Street Irregulars.

At 100 seats, Whitechapel will be a good deal larger than Smuggler's, and


I have recently started reading a quintet on five Mughal emperors by Alex Rutherford. The first one was about Babur. Towards the end it is all about his conquest of India and establishing the Mughal empire here. This he did by defeating the Lodhis. In the Lodhi king’s court, there was a poet – Jalal Khan a.k.a Shaikh Fazlullah a.k.a Jamali (He is said to have the same status as Tansen did in Akbar’s court). Later as the power shift happened, he also was a member of Babur’s son – Humayun’s court.

The arches at the Mosque

Jamali designed the mosque at Mehrauli near the Qutub Minar. The design is similar to that in Purana Quila – the difference being that it is said that this was the first mosquevotes can be seen at the bottom of this story.

1. Lincoln Riley: 33 points

Current job: Head coach, Oklahoma Sooners

NFL experience: None

The 35-year-old just pulled off a top-10 recruiting class, but could the lure of the NFL -- and potentially coaching his former quarterback in Cleveland -- make him think about leaving OU? Riley said Tuesday that he's not interested in the NFL "right now."

2. Josh McDaniels: 18 points

Current job: Offensive coordinator, New England Patriots

NFL experience: Former Broncos head coach (2009-10)

After jilting the Colts at the altar last offseason, is McDaniels ready for another go with a different team? Are other teams ready to commit to him?

T-3. Mike McCarthy: 16 points

Current job: Waiting for next gig

NFL experience: Former Packers head coach (2006-18)

A 135-85-2 career record -- and Super Bowl XLV title -- lend credence to the idea that McCarthy won't be unemployed for long.

5. Jim Harbaugh: 13 points

Current job: Head coach, Michigan Wolverines

NFL experience: Former 49ers head coach (2011-14)

The No. 1 name on this list one year ago, is this the year in which Harbaugh finally makes his NFL return?

Current job: Head coach, Stanford Cardinal

NFL experience: Former assistant for Ravens (2002-05), Raiders (1998-2001) and Eagles (1997)

Shaw's work at Stanford is exemplary, and he has been a rumored NFL target foryears. His background is on offense, which is where teams could look again this offseason after the Rams, Bears and Colts found success the past two seasons after hiring from that side of the ball.

T-7. Dave Toub: 9 points

Current job: Special-teams coordinator, Kansas City Chiefs

NFL experience: 18 years of experience as an NFL coordinator

Under Toub, the Chiefs (and previously the Bears) have held a distinct advantage on special teams. Is he the next coordinator from the "third side of the ball" to get a shot at a head-coaching gig?

Patna, Sep 29 : Heavy rains continued in Bihar for the third consecutive day on Sunday, killing at least 24 people across the state and crippling life, especially in the state capital where record rains caused heavy water-logging and did not spare the houses of the Deputy Chief Minister and two former Chief Ministers.

No respite is in sight with the Met Office predicting more rain in the next 24 hours and the state government has issued a "red alert".

The unexpected "heavy to extremely heavy rain" has so far claimed the lives of over 24 people - mostly drowned, across the state, officials of Disaster Management Department said here.

The water level in major rivers including Ganga, Koshi, Gandak, Bagmati, and the Mahananda, are on the rise, threatening to breachembankments at many places.

The Water Resources department has alerted the officials concerned and asked the district authorities to take measures to deal with any possibility.

The Centre has already deployed teams of National Disaster Response Force and State Disaster Response Force for rescue and relief operations in vulnerable places.

According to weather department officials, Patna has received 151 mm rain since Saturday -- a record in recent years.

Patna is now facing a flood-like situation with water is all around. People have been forced to stay indoors as most of the roads were water-logged.

Boats were deployed in several localities to help people.

"This is the first time I have seen boats plying on the water-logged roads in Patna... it is new for us," Sanket Jha, a college student of Rajendra Nagar colony,


said.

"Entire Patna is water-logged because of choked drainage. It has caused havoc in residential localities and exposed the Patna Municipal Corporation," Lakhender Mahto, a retired school teacher, told IANS here.

According to reports, water entered the residence of Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi in Rajendra Nagar here

Water also made its way into the residences of former Chief Ministers Satendra Narayan Singh on Boring Road and Jitan Ram Manjhi, as well as BJP MP and former Union Minister Rajeev Pratap Rudy.

The rains also affected the movement of trains, road traffic as well as flight operations. Twelve long route trains and several passenger trains have been cancelled.

There were reports of damage to the National Highways at several places in north Bihar districts.

The flood water has also entered houses, shops[Surgical treatment of integumentary tissues of foot and shin using adhesive dermal tension and cryotherapy].

Will Patton, Alicia Sanz, and Adan Canto, and Zach Avery are set to star in a currently untitled horror film from Chernobyl Diaries director Brad Parker. Written by

by Eric Scherbarth and Stefan Jaworsk,

the film will begin shooting in Kentucky next month.

Jaworski and Chinaza Uchi complete the main cast.

Julio and Diego Hallivis are producing and financing the pic via 1inMM Productions. Alejandro De Leon and Andres Rosende are also producing along with Jared Ian Goldman serving as an executive producer.

The plot deals with a geological expedition to research an Appalachian sinkhole that ends up becoming a fight for survival against a mysterious deadly force.

An unlikely match, the two were thrown together on a boat that was purchased only months before. On the delivery to New York from Europe, the mast broke; the two sailors wound up waiting until the start of the race to work together as a double-handed team.

They proceeded to cross the Atlantic Ocean on a 60-foot monohull, one of five boats in the competition.

“We wound up racing hundreds of 15-minute races all the way across, with each one putting more pressure on us,” Ribes said.

Conditions in the New York to Barcelona Race included drifting, 40-knot winds and breaking waves. Only three of the five starters finished the race.

The Ocean Masters founder, Sir Keith Mills, authorized a reporter to chronicle the race from aboard the boats. Only three ofpersonal property is also claimed by the sixth cause of action.
Summons and unverified complaint were served upon defendants Haveson and Nathans in February of 1974. Nathans immediately contacted Haveson, who had acquired the apartment building from Nathans in 1970. Central National Insurance Company, represented by Devonshire Coverage Corporation for the purpose of investigation and adjustment of claims, had issued its policy of insurance covering the apartment building. Haveson informed Devonshire of the service of plaintiff's complaint.
Devonshire assigned investigation of the matter to James A. Dorman of J.A. Dorman and Associates, a licensed and bonded investigator. On February 26, 1974, Dorman called counsel for plaintiff and informed him that Dorman represented the insurance carrier for Haveson and Nathans. Plaintiff's counsel granted Dorman an open extension of time to answer

my heart racing and my throat constricted, I crept along the hall to

a noise in the hall, but finally I located the Loeb edition of Lucan's

Back in 1961 Akira Kurosawa told the story of a wandering ronin who stumbles into a turf war between two rival gang lords attempting to claim a small village in feudal Japan, and it went on to inspire Sergio Leone's famous string of spaghetti westerns starring Clint Eastwood's nameless anti-hero. It's not the backdrop of Samurai Gunn, a fast, bloody 8-bit indie, that reminds me of Yojimbo, though. It's more the central theme of rivalry.

Samurai Gunn is primarily a multiplayer game. Designer Beau Blyth tells me there is a single player mode in the works, but after playing a few rounds against three other feudal warriors (one of them Blyth himself), I can't imagine how

One was Juan Martín del Potro, the lanky, lugubrious Argentinian who has suffered two career-threatening wrist injuries. Since returning last year, after a two‑year hiatus, he narrowly lost to Andy Murray in the Olympic final and led Argentina to their first Davis Cup win.

His is an uplifting story of triumph over adversity, stalwart determination in the face of debilitating physical and psychological setbacks. He played beautifully this week, with his elegant backhand slice and his thunderous slap of a forehand. But unfortunately for him he was up against Roger Federer, who, at 35 and following his own long lay-off with a knee injury and then a back injury, is playing perhaps the


a grand slam final since 2007.

Even though he had accumulated an astounding 17 grand slam titles, it was almost painful to see him try so hard, want it so much, and get further away from his goal of an 18th. Moreover, the slow decline started to cast a shadow backwards over his early glorious years. Between 2004 and 2007 he was by so far the best player in the world that he resembled a god among men – except on clay, where he had feet of clay.

Yet this superiority was now held against him. He was only so successful, said his critics, because the rest of the field wasn’t up to the job. Once Nadal found out his backhand weakness and Djokovic started to outlast him, Federer, forall his peerless grace, began to look all too mortal. And the man who never seemed to break a sweat, much less strain a tendon, started to get injured.

In January at the Australian Open in Melbourne, the stage was set for the world’s new No1, Andy Murray, to confirm his position with his fourth grand slam title, especially once a psychologically troubled Djokovic fell by the wayside. That didn’t happen.

Instead Federer and his nemesis Nadal fought an epic five-set final, with the Swiss emerging triumphant. Since then he’s scarcely lost a set. His game is not just revived but in many respects, not least with his backhand, improved.

When he was a promising teenager, the imperturbable Federer was known for his fierce temper – not with other players, but


himself. He couldn’t forgive himself for his mistakes. As he reasoned at the time: “One should just be able to play a perfect game.”

He really started to beat everyone else only when he stopped beating himself up. The paradox was the less he demanded perfection, the closer he got to it. And this may be a clue to this splendid Indian summer of his sparkling career.

He didn’t expect to win the Australian Open, or to be back in the top five by this time of the year. It’s not that he stopped trying – it required enormous effort to regain fitness and change technique – more that he lightened the load of expectation and allowed his phenomenal talent to enjoy one last season in the sun.

Roger Federer withLincoln's Hebraica

Among the treasures of Lincoln’s Senior Library is its collection of Hebraica and Judaica. Although the collection is relatively small (just over 400 works in Hebrew and Aramaic with related works in Latin and Greek), it is one of the most remarkable of its kind not only for its range and depth but for the insight it provides into the study of Hebrew in Oxford in the 16th and 17th centuries.

The Hebrew books at Lincoln come largely from the private libraries of two prominent Oxford Christian-Hebraists, both Fellows of Lincoln: Richard Kilby (1560-1620) and Thomas Marshall (1621-1685). Kilby was Regius Professor of Hebrew from 1610 until his death in 1620 and one of the translators of the King James Bible. His collection of Hebraica, recorded in the


Library donors’ book, was rare even in its own time, with volumes from the major centres of Hebrew printing in Europe, and includes important editions of the Bible, dictionaries of Hebrew and Arabic and biblical commentaries. Thomas Marshall was one of most important philologists of the 17th century and a master of Frisian, Arabic, Aramaic and Coptic as well as Latin, Greek and Hebrew. His impressive library of Hebraica, much of which was acquired during his period of exile in the Netherlands, includes volumes belonging to Continental scholars of Hebrew, including Joseph Scaliger and Daniel Heins.

Thanks to a generous donation from the John S. Cohen Foundation, the Lincoln Hebraica collection has been now catalogued making this valuable library, with everything it can tell us about the study ofNorthern Ireland midfielder Chris Brunt has announced his retirement from international football. The 33-year-old won 65 caps in an international career that spanned 14 years.

Brunt made his debut on 18 August 2004 in a nil-all draw in a friendly match against Switzerland in Zurich. He ended his international career against the same opposition, with the same scoreline, when Northern Ireland drew nil-all in the FIFA World Cup Play-Off second-leg game against Switzerland in Basel last November.

He scored three goals for his country. His first was a free-kick away to San Marino in 2009, while his final goal was also a free-kick – a perfectly placed strike against the Czech Republic at the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park in September 2017.

His delivery meant that he always provided an


attacking threat and he played in eight of the games that saw Northern Ireland reach UEFA Euro 2016. However, a knee injury cruelly robbed him of a playing place at the tournament. Despite that setback he still travelled to France and encouraged his team-mates in the changing room and from the sidelines.

Northern Ireland senior men’s international manager, Michael O’Neill, said: “I am disappointed that Chris is retiring as I believe that he still has much to offer the team, however I completely understand his decision to spend a bit more time with his young family and to concentrate fully on his club career with West Brom.

“I want to thank him for everything that he gave me on the pitch. He was a model professional and his contribution toDistraction of the frontal bone outside the cranial plane: a rabbit model.

When she applied for another academic position, the hiring researcher remarked that he didn’t hire women because they too often stayed home with sick children. Later, an employment agency reviewed her résumé and dismissed her as “just a housewife who went back to school.”

Dr. Sandler had run head first into a problem that had only recently been given a name: sex discrimination. Knowing she was not alone, she embarked on a campaign that would change the culture on college campuses — and eventually the law with the passage in 1972 of Title IX, the landmark legislation that banned sex discrimination in federally funded educational institutions.

Dr. Sandler, who was widely celebrated as the godmother of Title IX, died Jan. 5 at her home in Washington. She was 90. Thecause was cancer, said her daughter Deborah Sandler.

Trained in psychology and counseling, Dr. Sandler devoted decades of her life to documenting, analyzing and stopping the forms of discrimination — subtle and overt — that held women back academically and professionally in educational settings.

When she began her advocacy efforts, many university departments arbitrarily limited the number of women they would hire. Others hired no women at all. Some disqualified married women. Some colleges barred female students from chemistry and other departments that were deemed more suited for men.

Dr. Sandler investigated and found that there was no federal law prohibiting discrimination against women in educational fields. There was, however, an executive order signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson that prohibited sex discrimination by organizations with federal contracts.

“It was a genuine


‘Eureka’ moment,” she later recalled in an account of her work. “I actually shrieked aloud for I immediately realized that many universities and colleges had federal contracts, were therefore subject to the sex discrimination provisions of the Executive Order, and that the Order could be used to fight sex discrimination on American campuses.”

Dr. Sandler joined the Women’s Equity Action League and, as the one-member Federal Action Contract Compliance Committee, challenged 250 educational institutions with allegations of sex discrimination. She also coordinated a letter-writing campaign that, by her account, “generated so much Congressional mail that the Departments of Labor, and Health, Education and Welfare had to assign several full-time personnel to handle the letters.”

According to the National Women’s Hall of Fame, where Dr. Sandler was inducted in 2013, herefforts led to the first federal investigation of sex discrimination on campuses.

She worked for a House subcommittee with oversight of the matter and for the Health, Education and Welfare Department as momentum grew, culminating with passage of Title IX. Its chief legislative champions included Rep. Edith Green (D-Ore.), Rep. Patsy Mink (D-Hawaii) and Sen. Birch Bayh (D-Ind.). Today, Title IX is widely known as the guarantor of equal access to collegiate athletics.

For decades after the law was passed, Dr. Sandler continued her activism for gender equality in the classroom. As a speaker and author, she sought to draw attention to what she and a fellow researcher, Roberta M. Hall, in a widely read 1982 academic paper termed the “chilly” classroom environment for women.

Sexist practices, she recalled, seemed practically part of the natural order of the world. “When I applied to college it was openly known that women needed higher grades and test scores in order to be accepted,” she recalled in a history of Title IX. “No one complained — it was just the way things were.”

AD

She received a bachelor’s degree from Brooklyn College in 1948 and a master’s degree from the City College of New York in 1950, both in psychology, and a PhD in counseling from the University of Maryland in 1969.

Dr. Sandler spent two decades as the director of the Project onthe Status and Education of Women at the Association of American Colleges until she stepped down in 1991. She later held associations with institutions including the Center for Women Policy Studies in Washington and was a sought-after witness in discrimination and sexual harassment cases. As an activist, she also highlighted the danger of rape on campuses.

Dr. Sandler’s marriage to Jerrold Sandler ended in divorce. Survivors include two daughters, Deborah Sandler of Martinez, Calif., and Emily Sanders of Los Angeles; and three grandchildren.

Later in her career, Dr. Sandler explored the “chilly” environment on campus that greeted minorities much as it greeted women. Interviewed in 1994 by the publication Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education, she reflected on the rejection that sent her on a path of advocacy.

The western world is on both sides of the corruption battle

The west talks a good game in wanting the corruption in poorer countries tostop. Our leaders often use their pulpits to bully
the poorer nations into cleaning up their act. The leaders of the poor nations
that score some victories gain our respect and aid money. Still there are many
systems in the western world that support the corruption.

Paul Collier's latest opinion piece for the Guardian points out that those
perpetrators of corruption often turn to the western world for help. The
thieves hire lawyers and public relations firms from New
York, Paris or London. Their dirty money often flows thru
the western world without anyone stopping it. Collier is calling on western
leaders to do more to stop helping the thieves. Inthis snippet, he mentions Guinea leader
Aissatou Boiro who was gunned down last Friday by supporters of the very
thieves he was trying to catch.

With the US election out of the way, it is time for American companies to face this reality. To date, their response to the Cardin-Lugar amendment
requiring transparency in their transactions has been to mount a legal
challenge. Rather than this doomed and demeaning strategy of pushing
back, they would be well advised to push forward. Cardin-Lugar is being
imitated: this month the European parliament is likely to adopt it
across Europe. Canada, home to the world's main financial market for
second-tier resource extraction companies, is about to become an
aberrant laggard that is surely not beyond the reach of influence.

The
success of decent African governments in their struggle against
corruption is not only in

Synopsis

In the first part of a holiday special, Finn and Jake try to decipher the hidden secrets of the Ice King's video diary.

Plot

Finn and Jake are trying to dig up a treasure Jake had found in the Dump and had buried without opening. When they get to the treasure Finn recognizes it, saying that he saw Ice King with it and burying it in a pile of boogers in the Dump. So they see that inside the suitcase is a bunch of tapes belonging to the Ice King and make plans for a secret tape watching.

Jake puts up flyers to warn people that the tape watch is for Finn, Jake, and BMO only but the Ice King, while trying the William Tell trick on Gunter, sees one andwhen Finn, Jake, and BMO go look out the window.

The bearskin in Finn and Jake's living room has three eye sockets, which means the bear had three eyes.

Finn said that one night while Jake was away at Lady's house he was dancing in the woods but Finn was in the woods during the day.

In the Ice King's Penguin Dance Party Video, there are triangles attached to two strings with letters on them, spelling the words "Happy Birthday," indicating that he recorded it during his birthday.

Errors

When Finn and Jake are watching the tapes for the third time (after Finn says "We need to find his secrets faster") the green and blue bowls with candy change places two times.

The phone cord could not have stretched all the way down to


the window.

The phone changes places two times, one being when it appears in front of the window and Finn hangs up. It is not there anymore when Ice king uses his powers and the scene zooms in to the inside of the house.

The other bearskin that was seen on the floor when they first go look through the window is not there anymore when BMO tells Finn and Jake that Ice King was on the phone outside.

In the final scene Finn and Jake are lying down in front of the window instead of facing it backwards as they first were.

There is not normally a tape deck installed on BMO.

In the scene where Finn, Jake, and BMO went to look out the window Finn appeared much shorter than usualbecause BMO was all the way up to the top of Finn's leg in height.

Cultural references

While watching the videos, Finn and Jake are on the floor eating Christmas-themed foods such as a substance that looks like Figgy Pudding and rolls.

The title card shows Finn, Jake and BMO setting traps outside the chimney possibly waiting for the Ice King to come down. Jake's outfit reflects Jewish design; the small hat is possibly a Kippah (Yarmulke) and the scarf is a Tallit.

When Ice King and Gunter are in the forest for target practice, this resembles William Tell shooting the apple off of his son's head.

When the title shows, the design and outline of the title references to A Charlie Brown Christmas.

With the advent of the computer age, electronic systems have become a staple of modern life, and some may even deem them a necessity. Part and parcel with this spread of technology comes an ever greater drive for more functionality from these electronic systems. A microcosm of this quest for increased functionality is the size and capacity of various semiconductor devices. From the 8 bit microprocessor of the original Apple I, through the 16 bit processors of the original IBM PC AT, to the current day, the processing power of semiconductors has grown while the size of these semiconductors has consistently been reduce. In fact, Moore's law recites that the number of transistors on a given size piece of silicon will double every 18 months.

Each year we reverse the direction of the course. The total race cutoff time is 33 hours.Do We Still Need to Celebrate Black History Month?

February 1 began Black History Month, a national annual observance since 1926, honoring and celebrating the achievements of African-Americans.

This February 1, the International Civil Rights Center and Museum (ICRCM) opened in Greensboro, North Carolina, honoring the courageous action of four African- American students. Their actions led to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which mandated desegregation of all public accommodations.

Fifty years ago on February 1, 1960, the now ICRCM was a Woolworth’s store and the site of the original sit-in where Ezell A. Blair Jr. (also known as Jibreel Khazan), David Leinhail Richmond , Joseph Alfred McNeil, and Franklin Eugene McCain from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical College (NC A&T), a historically black college, sat at its lunch counter as


well.

It leads you to believe that the only shakers and movers in the history of people of African descent in the U.S. were and still are heterosexuals. And because of this heterosexist bias, the sheroes and heroes of LGBTQ people of African decent — like Pat Parker, Audre Lorde, Essex Hemphill, Joseph Beam, and Bayard Rustin — are mostly known and lauded within a subculture of black life.

However, the argument that celebrating Black History Month in 2010 is no more than a celebration of a relic tethered to an old defunct paradigm of the civil rights era and is a hindrance to black people moving forward is bogus.

To move forward you must look back.

And in so doing ask ourselves, were it not for the successful sit-ins, marches, andsolid Trinity reference and he added it in.

The handful of Greek manuscripts which did have the words were influenced by the reading in the Latin Bible. Erasmus omitted the line from his first two editions of his Greek New Testament, and was criticized by Catholic scholars who used the Vulgate as a proof text for the doctrine of the Trinity.

Erasmus told his critics that if even one Greek manuscript could be found with the line, he would add it to the next edition. A manuscript was quickly prepared (codex 61, the work of a Franciscan monk named Froy or Roy), and Erasmus added the line to the next addition of his GNT, although with a note explaining that he doubted the line was genuine. The four manuscripts that


support the longer reading are ms. 61 (sixteenth century), ms. 88 (twelfth century), ms. 629 (fourteenth or fifteenth century), and ms. 635 (eleventh-century manuscript with the passage written in its margin during the seventeenth century).

Metzger reports that codex 61, which is housed at the library of Trinity College in Dublin, “almost opens of its own accord to 1 John 5–so often has it been consulted on this passage!” (The Text of the New Testament, 101, note 5). However, Peter Malik says the manuscript has an abundance of marginal notes added by two different hands after the codex was produced (in Hixson and Gurry, Myths and Mistakes, 158).

What does it matter? This is not a case of removing the Trinity from the Bible as some more conspiracy-minded people mightJaVar Myatt-Jones - Education is a Lifelong Experience

JaVar Myatt-Jones has been through extensive schooling and educational experiences in becoming a family medicine physician in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Over the years, the tests, the classroom experiences, and the extra-curricular activities, Dr. Myatt-Jones has learned the truth about education: it never stops. While he may not need any further formal education to continue his work as a physician, the true value of education is the development of knowledge and skills, and he will never be too old to stop learning skills and knowledge.

JaVar Myatt-Jones, from a young age, was always curious and hungry for more knowledge. Throughout his life, JaVar Myatt-Jones has worked hard to improve and increase his education so that he can continue to foster that same curiosity that


in outfield positions. The new manager could be tempted to drop Matthew Pennington for Andy Webster in another move to give him more options to play loan players. Dropping Chris Stokes for Ryan Haynes could be another selection with the loan player rules in mind, that one could depend on how well Haynes has reacted to Mowbray’s management early on.

Dominic Samuel seemingly spent more time offside than on against Barnsley but seems one of the few players guaranteed a start against Port Vale. His strike partner looks to be either Frank Nouble or Marcus Tudgay. Samuel has played well alongside either and Mowbray might feel that he can see something in one of his former favourites Ishmael Miller in Nouble and believe that he can bring the bestout of someone who has been largely frustrating thus far for us. The less said about Nick Proschwitz, the better.

Our last meeting against Port Vale felt like a significant turning point of the season at the time. Steven Pressley’s team won back-to-back away league games for the first, and only, time this season having previously failed to win away nearly 9 months. Despite Port Vale finding themselves on top for most of the game, the Sky Blues nicked three points with two scrappy goals. The first came just after Matthew Pennington deflected a cross off the Hubble telescope before the ball dropped onto the head of Reda Johnson storming forward from left-back to give us the lead. After holding on for dear life, Jim O’Brien somehow failed to


score an easy chance on the counter before Gary Madine tripped over the ball and sent it into the back of the net.

It wasn’t pretty but there was a feeling at the time that the win was a turning-point in the season. We have won just two of our 13 league games since then.

How Are They Doing?

Port Vale were not expected to be in the hunt for the play-offs this season. Last year under Micky Adams that had been solid but effective, after Adams walked out stating that his shelf-life at the club had expired, few expected Rob Page to do anything more than to keep the Valiants in the division, if even that. Despite losing to Oldham on Tuesday night, Port Vale sit comfortable in 13th, justseasons hasn’t been at his peak level this time out. Young forward Ben Williamson has usurped Pope on the top of the goal-scoring charts despite being widely ridiculed by Vale fans for the majority of the season. Williamson is quick and is a decent physical presence in the box although he can be very inconsistent.

Port Vale’s success this season under Rob Page has been centred around good defensive play, taking the lead and seeing the game out successfully. Chris Neal in goal is one of those opposition keepers you worry about putting on one of those famed ‘goalkeeping clinics’ that pop-up every now and again. Freddie Veseli, a player who was on the books of both Manchester clubs, has matured this season after a loan spell from Ipswich


San Diego County beaches earned high marks for water quality

North County Times wire services -

SANTA MONICA - San Diego County beaches earned high marks for
water quality over the summer, the environmental group Heal the Bay
reported today.

Heal the Bay assigned letter grades ranging from A to F to 494
beaches along the California coast, based on bacteria pollution
levels detected at monitoring stations from Memorial Day through
Labor Day.

The group's summer beach report card showed that 99 percent of
beaches in San Diego County received A or B grades.

The only beach that was found to need improvement was Pacific
Beach Point, which received a D.

In Orange County, a total of 96 out of 104 beaches received A
grades. The group noted that Doheny Beach, which is usually one of
the most polluted in the state, showedimprovement and recorded its
cleanest summer ever.

"The combination of record drought and completed Clean Beach
Initiative project led to the cleanest summer water quality in
years," said Mark Gold, president of Heal the Bay. "With more beach
cleanup projects on the horizon, the prospects for this positive
summer becoming a trend are great."

According to Heal the Bay, 17 percent of Los Angeles County
beaches earned F grades during the summer, making it the worst
county in the state for beach water quality.

But Santa Monica Bay, which has a history of exceeding bacteria
pollution levels, performed well, with area beaches receiving 93
percent A's and B's - besting the statewide average. Only four of
the 67 Santa Monica Bay beaches received poor marks, compared to 16
last summer.

The group noted that between April 1 and Sept. 3, several Santa

preferred embodiment, a first member telescopes from a channel in a second member. Across the channel at its entry end is a pin. The channel web recedes from its entry end to provide a slot through which the first member enters under the pin. The pin blocks the channel at its top, so the first member enters the channel at an angle to the channel web and then rotates down onto the web and into engagement with the pin.
When the first member is rotated into contact with the channel web, the pin engages one of a plurality of grooves in the top of the first member to prevent the first member from moving in the channel. To later adjust the relative position of the first member in thechannel, it is rotated away from the web and the pin. After the first member is repositioned, it is rotated back into contact with the web and the pin is received into a different one of the plurality of slots.
Significantly, when an object is clamped in the clamp, the object is forcibly pressed against an arm depending from the first member, which causes a rotational force on the first member. That is, the first member is urged up against the pin further locking the pin in the selective first member groove. The pin also becomes a fulcrum in a lever action that urges the first member portion in the channel hard against the channel web in a lever action causing increased frictional resistance to the first member sliding


in the channel as well as maintaining the pin in the groove.
In an alternative embodiment, the pin moves in the second member out of engagement with the first member rather than the first member moving out of engagement with a stationary pin. In such case, the second member is typically a tube and the first member simply telescopes in and out of the tube. Typically, the pin passes through a transverse hole in the tube and into a selective one of a plurality of transverse holes in the first member aligned to receive the pin. The pin should be deemed only representative of many mechanisms known in the art that could releasably secure the back members together during use.

Friday was a late night and Saturday was a long day. Christy got up early to pursue mother of the year by decorating an Elmo cake. For Grace, Saturday started with another blueberry muffin. Then, after the first snow accumulation of the year, Grace enjoyed both riding with Grandpa on the golf cart and some sledding.

Grandpa and Grandma Rudy and Linda made lunch for everyone. After lunch, we sang and cut up Elmo.

And then the best part: GIFTS! Amongst other items, Grace received clothes, a guitar, a vacuum, and money. (By Sunday, she's made quick use of the vacuum.)

After Grace's birthday party, we went to Rudy's surprise 50th party where Grace made friends with Lauren, Rudy's great niece.

And Lydia finally got some attention both from


Grandpa and with a pony ride from her sister.

There's a short build up between Halloween and Grace's birthday. The girls took the time to do some bonding. They took advantage of the unseasonably warm weather.

Also, between the excitement of Halloween and the build up to Grace's birthday, Christy earned a break. It was time Grace start doing some chores. So, Grace has started feeding Lydia. However, after only recently recovering from the 2008 Great Sprinkle Famine, we were deep into the 2008 Great Baby Food Famine. Again, Grace was acutely aware. Lydia was only allowed to repeatedly lick a spoon dipped in food.

Then, they returned to bonding with a little game of catch. Due to Lydia's admittedly poor coordination, Grace found eye protection. Lydia was willing to riskkid-friendly event at a local senior community.

After the conducting candy collection services, the Mom's club kids carried on with cookie decorating services. Many have heard what'll be known as the 2008 Great Sprinkle Famine. Grace was acutely aware of the shortage. Grace was decorating one of the ladies cookies. The lady asked for sprinkles. With the Famine in mind, Grace had to balance the needs of one against the needs of many. She placed one sprinkle on the cookie, looked at her customer, and asked, "More?" The lady was short-sighted, selfish, and demanding, "More, please." And she got a second sprinkle. "More?" "How about a black sprinkle?" asked the pushy lady. Grace obliged, but there would be no more sprinkles for this selfish person.

After decorating cookies, Sonia helped

WWE has announced that Dey Street Books will be releasing a tell-all book on the company. The first oral history of WWE will be written by journalists Craig Marks and Rob Tannenbaum, who are receiving unprecedented access to Vince McMahon.

"This will be an unapologetic look at the good, the bad and the ugly, and the journey that made WWE into the global phenomenon it is today," McMahon said.

Below is the full announcement on the book:

Dey Street Books, an imprint of the William Morrow Group at HarperCollins Publishers, announced today that it will publish the first oral history of WWE, written by journalists Craig Marks and Rob Tannenbaum.

Marks and Tannenbaum will describe how WWE became one of America's most successful and enduring businesses. The two will have unprecedented accessto the company's Chairman & CEO, Vince McMahon, who transformed a regional professional wrestling business into a global media and entertainment empire.

The authors will interview current WWE Superstars as well as legends from the past, writers, producers, managers, business executives and celebrities who've made guest appearances. This will be the most revealing look yet at the innovative and fearless McMahon, in his own words, his family's words and the words of those who've worked with or against him over the past 50 years.

Generations of WWE fans have savored the action and excitement that characterizes WWE, including the global transformations of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and John Cena, along with the present-day female Superstars who have broken barriers and blazed


new trails as part of the company's Women's Evolution. This book will be the ultimate look at a once-in-a-generation business success story, as well as a mirror that reflects the cultural, social and political mores of our time.

Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman & CEO, says, "This will be an unapologetic look at the good, the bad and the ugly, and the journey that made WWE into the global phenomenon it is today."

Marks and Tannenbaum's previous oral history, "I Want My MTV: The Uncensored Story of the Music Video Revolution," was named one of the best books of 2011 by NPR, USA Today, CNBC, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, The Atlantic, The Onion, The Huffington Post and many others. A24 is currently developing the book as a movie.

In a second preferred embodiment, the second ends of the rods are fixed in the hub. Channels are cut in the arm to receive the first ends of the rods. The rods thus reciprocate within the channels of the arm as the assembly is rotated. A linear bearing is inserted in the channels of the arm between the arm and the rods.
In a third preferred embodiment, the cam includes a ring with a plate inside. The plate is round such that the ring rotates around the circumference of the plate when the plate is fixed to the exercise machine. A plurality of roller bearings are fixed within the ring to rotate around the circumference of


the plate.
The plate includes an eccentric hole to receive the shaft of the exercise machine. A hub is fixed to the shaft and capable of rotation therewith. The arm, cam follower and rods are configured as described above with regard to the first and second preferred embodiment with the exception that the cam follower is fixed within a hole in the ring. In this embodiment, the cam follower rotates the ring around the plate. The fact that the hole in the plate is eccentric causes the distance between the hole and the hole in the ring to change as the ring rotates around the plate. This distance change causes the rods to reciprocate within either the hub or the arm depending upon which includes the channels.

From the War Room

Eldon MacDonald, THW: A few words on Jake Virtanen: Speed – Big man speed with acceleration, agility, balance. Won the 30 metre sprint, backward and forward, at the CHL Top Prospects game. Shot – Big gun, quick finger, hits target, penetrates net. Power forward – Jake Virtanen has the size, skating, drive and physicality teams look for in a power forward – Jake is probably the purest power forward in the draft. Improvements to make – Judging by his performance in January (13 goals and 20 points in 14 games), Jake has already come a long way. However, he should continue to work on using his teammates better, push for excellence in his defensive work and exert his physicality on


a constant basis to win puck battles. Draft placement – Most have Jake at or around the top 10 now but if he continues to produce at or improve upon his January pace he could go significantly higher because his size and physical skills are as elite as just about anyone in the draft.

More than 1 200 years ago, the silhouettes of three-cornered Arab dhows were first spotted across the horizon of the Indian Ocean waters washing Africa’s eastern shores. These traders had happened upon an island of such exquisite beauty that they filled their parchment manuscripts with tales detailing the picturesque sights. This scented land of coconuts and spices was so idyllic that the Sultan of Oman decided to move the seat of his empire to these shores they named Zayn Zal Barr, meaning “fair is the island.” Today the Zanzibar Archipelago is still bathed in the heady scents of cloves and cinnamon, and traditional dhows still drift across the horizon. Off the north-eastern tip of Zanzibar lies the private &Beyond Mnemba Island


– an island inhabited only by guests and the staff taking care of them. Just 1.5 km in circumference, Mnemba is surrounded by an atoll of breath-taking coral reefs, and boasts some of Africa’s most magnificent dive sites. The calm, azure seas surrounding Mnemba offer irresistible snorkelling, scuba diving, kayaking, fly fishing, windsurfing and permanent swimming directly from the beach. Turtle season occurs between April and August (however laying’s can occur year round), and these prehistoric creatures can be seen laying their eggs on the beaches. Within nine weeks, the beaches are filled with tiny turtle hatchlings.

Spend four leisurely nights in the exotic paradise of Zanzibar.

Back in August, the dudes from British India unveiled a list of tour dates that left you short of breath just reading through. Now back at home, washed and fed, the lads are ready to reveal just what it is that British India get up to while gallivanting across the country in their official Tour Diary.

It was the release of their new single I Can Make You Love Me that inspired the band to hit the road, hitting up venues all over Australia – even Tassie! The clip for the single soon followed, adding further reason to celebrate given just how difficult it must have been organise that minotaur mask…

Below you will find 7 pictures that the band have personally selected, and captioned from their recent escapades.

In Octoberwe were booked to play a show at Brisbane Casino. The opulence took us by surprise; witness four sweaty degenerates from Melbourne – over excited to see their names in ink.

Back of the Truck
Outrageous touring costs in Far North Queensland resulted in us bouncing around in the back of a giant metal death machine driven by a toothless mad man. We were worried about having enough oxygen until the back door swung open on the freeway.

When I left school in the early 1950s my first job was apprentice machine tool engineer with a large bearing manufacturer in Luton, England.

I rode my bike to work each day; a distance of five miles. My father did the same; a bicycle was his only form of transport. He never in his lifetime owned a car or even learned to drive one.

We could have caught a bus to work, but did so only in the extremes of winter when the roads were frozen over with ice and snow. Otherwise we rode our bikes in all weathers. So too did most of the other workers at the factory.

When the factory was built many years before, there was no provision made on the premises to park cars, with theand straps, and the shoes had metal cleats nailed to the leather sole. Most workers arrived wearing their work books, on more utilitarian bikes with plain rubber pedals.

This was the norm for most of the working class in the UK throughout the 1950s. Cycle racing, and in particular time-trialing was very much a working class sport. Many riders had only one bike that they raced on, trained on, and was their transport to and from work.

I was in my early thirties before I got my first driver’s license and owned my first vehicle. It was a van that I used to transport my bike to races. It allowed me ride in events further afield.

In 1969 I moved to Worcester in the West Midlands area of England. I was


the North Sea off Scotland. I’m not sure if this had anything to do with it, but looking back it was a period when Britain became committed to the automobile, just like the US.

People started buying up cheap housing out in the rural areas, and the newly built network of roads meant they could commute long distances to work in the city in a relatively short time.

All very nice, but now with thousands converging into the large cities each day, how do you accommodate all these cars on narrow city streets designed and built before the 1800s when people drove horses and carts? Where to park them all becomes a huge problem.

Going back to the 1950s there were less people, and on top of that a typical familyand down Britain are buzzing thanks to the 'Cycle to Work' tax break incentives on offer to commuters. British Cycling and the CTC are reporting record levels of membership and British racing cyclists are no longer considered a joke by their Continental counterparts. Bike races are no longer clandestine affairs held on secret courses where audience participation is actively discouraged.Britain has a British Pro Tour team competing at the highest level and containing some of the hottest prospects in the peloton. It has a budget, equipment and management structure that's the envy of the cycle racing world. Then there's the 10 (Ten) GB Olympic champions, who between them, picked up 13 Olympic gold medals at Beijing.

Which, when you look at it, is all a bit shit really. So


read a little bit about the history of cycle racing in Britain, about people like Percy Stallard, and had it not been for people like him in the past, Britain would not be enjoying this cycling success at a world class level, but would be instead stuck in a mold of time-trialing in secret, in the wee hours of a Sunday morning.Dave

Bicycle as 'poor mans' transport' is part of the reason for the decline. The masses don't want to be associated with (perceived) pauper mode of travel.

The resurgence in cycling of late is, in large part, a middle class resurgence: with those who could afford big cars, choosing, instead, to cycle.

The latest cycling figures from the National Travel Survey back this up. It's not a bad thing. Thecycling in NL was popular and remained so a few years after (for economic reasons), for instance, with bike mode share rates in Amsterdam hovering around 55% of all trips, nationally at 40%. That quickly changed from the late 50's as cars became more dominant, so did policies that equated prosperity with car ownership > free reign. People on bikes in NL became more and more marginalized, rates dropped to a little over 20% in Amsterdam.

Shortly after the 1973 Oil Crisis and a string of deadly bike accidents in the late 60's/early 70's a group of people organized themselves and formed 'Eerste Enige Echte Nederlandse Wielrijdersbond (ENWB) - 'The First And One And Only Dutch Riders Union' in 1975, as a protest/movement against the 'General Dutch Riders/Drivers Union'


ANWB which function was to represent cyclists and drivers equally, but didn't.

The ENWB was forced to change its name to Fietsersbond / Cyclists Union, but aside from that, it quickly became a force to reckon with, as it advocated successfully for better infrastructure, legislation and other bicycle provisions. They worked together with national, regional and local governments to establish integral bicycle transport policies that would make cycling safer/convenient again. For ALL people, young and old, aka 'the lowest common denominator'.

Their work raised public awareness of the need for bicycle infrastructure and a generally safer urban environment.

From the 80's on, old infrastructure was updated/improved, new infrastructure was developed and implemented, and institutionalized by the national government (ps, any political party that would now campaign against bicycle policies would killtimes.

"The glory days of Claud Butler, as with many other lightweight marques, were the mid-to-late thirties and the immediate post-war period.

By the mid-fifties the glory days were over, with club cycling beginning to lose favour as a popular activity across Britain.

Lt. Chuck Kohler says he was on scene tending to the baby girl less than a minute after receiving a page Sunday night.

The page alerted him that alarms had been triggered on the Safe Haven Baby Box at the Coolspring Township Volunteer Fire Department, near Michigan City. Kohler says everything worked as planned.

The girl appeared healthy and was taken to a hospital for care. She’ll be placed in the custody of the Indiana Department of Child Services.

The padded, climate-controlled box was installed about two years ago. The program allows a mother to relinquish her newborn anonymously, without fear of prosecution.

THE total number of coronavirus cases and deaths outside China has now overtaken those within the country. Around the world, countries have closed borders and ramped up social distancing measures.

When *New Scientist* went to press, there had been more than 180,000 confirmed cases and more than 7000 deaths globally. China has still had the highest number of cases, followed by Italy and Iran. Spain is now fourth, having overtaken South Korea.

Many countries are imposing border restrictions to reduce the spread of the virus, including Canada, Costa Rica and Tunisia. The European Union closed its external borders on Tuesday.

The World Health Organization\'s director general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Monday that there has been a "rapid escalation" of cases in the past week. He said that while governments hadof up to €135 (£121).

In the US on Monday, the White House issued guidelines as part of its "15 days to slow the virus" campaign. Chief among them is a ban on mass gatherings, with people told to avoid gathering in groups of more than 10, and to avoid bars, restaurants and unnecessary travel.

Australia, which has had relatively few cases so far, told Australians to come home from abroad and is weighing up stronger measures.

New cases in China, where the virus originated, have stayed low in recent days. The country confirmed 21 cases on Monday, 20 of which were people arriving from abroad.

South Korea, which was also hit early by the virus but has tested at a greater rate than any other country, had its third day running


the tipping point for the adoption of NFTs, and there are a few reasons for this — at least in the gaming community. First of all, games like Gods Unchained were game changers upon their release.

Developed by Australia-based blockchain gaming startup Immutable, Gods Unchained is a turn-based digital trading card game that operates on the Ethereum blockchain. There are other collectible games — such as Decentraland, Etherbots, Spells of Genesis and Rare Pepe — whose popularity rose in 2019. However, outside of the gaming industry, companies utilizing NFTs, such as SuperRare, Zcrafty and Terra0, have also gained prominence.

Marketplaces like OpenSea, RareBits and OpenBazaar have also started to trade NFTs as crypto collectibles. The infrastructure around NFTs is also improving. 0xcert offers developer tools for issuing and managing NFTs.In addition, Codex Protocol has developed a decentralized registry for unique assets like art, fine wine, antiques and more.

Moreover, there are other factors for why NFTs are becoming more popular, one of them being an interest of multinational corporations in blockchain gaming. In September 2018, one of the biggest names in gaming, Ubisoft, sponsored the Blockchain Game Summit in Lyon, France. The following month saw Ubisoft become an inaugural member of Blockchain Game Alliance. When asked about the current use of NFTs in popular products and services, Ethan Pierse, the director at the CryptoAssets Institute, told Cointelegraph:

“Indiegogo and GoFundMe have also shown that people are willing to spend plenty of money supporting causes and products that they believe in. On Indiegogo, the product you get is called a

I couldn't believe it. I was 110% sure it was a boy. We had already picked out a name for a girl.

Cora Madison

Cora stems from the Coral Sea in Australia where we honeymooned (picture Sascha took while snorkeling in the Coral Sea). Madison is after the Madison River in Montana. A beautiful river with lots of good trout fishing. At one point, she was going to be Cora Sydney. Sydney after Sydney, Australia. Yes, we love Australia. When Lee mentioned Madison for a middle name, it stuck. We both loved the name and knew that was "it". We did have a boy name picked out. Nicholas "Nick" Bridger.

Fedeli is set to answer questions about the economic statement in a news conference on Thursday afternoon.

The statement unveiled the PCs' short-term plans for spending restraint in the face of what Fedeli says is a $15-billion deficit inherited from the previous Liberal government.

You can read more about the contents of the statement here:

The fall economic statement, which includes spending cuts, some tax relief and a number of steps aimed at boosting affordability, is the first budget document unveiled under Premier Doug Ford.

As part of the economic statement, the PC's have announced a plan to cut the number of legislative officers


from nine to six positions.

Previous reporting below.

Ontario Finance Minister Vic Fedeli is poised to eliminate at least two provincial watchdog positions on Thursday as the government of Premier Doug Ford launches its cost-cutting drive, CBC News has learned.

Fedeli is scheduled to deliver the fall economic statement, the first budget document under Ford, on Thursday.

It will unveil the PCs' short-term plans for spending restraint in the face of what Fedeli says is a $15-billion deficit inherited from the previous Liberal government.

Two offices facing cuts are those of the Environmental Commissioner of Ontario and the Ontario Child Advocate, according to government and PC party sources who spoke to CBC News. Both agencies are headed by independent officers who report to the legislature, rather than to the government, giving them anindependent status similar to the auditor general.

Three sources say the position of child advocate will be scrapped. The child advocate has a mandate to investigate ill-treatment of children in the foster care and Children's Aid Society systems and to review government policy and practice around services to children.

The child advocate has frequently produced critical reports that triggered changes in provincial policy. The post is held by Irwin Elman, who was appointed in 2008. He has been an outspoken critic of the child welfare system and has called for automatic inquests into every death of a child in care.

One source indicated the child advocate's duties could be shifted to the provincial ombudsman's office.

Ontario Environmental Commissioner Dianne Saxe was appointed to the position in 2015. (Office of the Environmental Commissioner


accused Fedeli of inappropriate behaviour in December 2017. In January of this year, Brown was forced to resign as party leader amid allegations of sexual misconduct.

CBC News has independently verified that the allegation was made against Fedeli. The allegation has never been tested in court.

'"These accusations from Patrick Brown are categorically false and without any merit," Fedeli said in a statement.

On Wednesday night, Ford issued a statement declaring Fedeli has his full support. Earlier this month, Ford forced Jim Wilson to resign from cabinet and leave the PC caucus after a staffer made an allegation against Wilson of sexually inappropriate behaviour.Tri-City Plaza was built in 1969. The shopping center expanded multiple times to include a movie theater and various small shop buildings. In 1989 the center was expanded for the last time to include a Publix Supermarket. The center was configured much like today's lifestyle centers. However, due to the age of the center, awkward traffic and pedestrian circulation, and poor visibility, the center had since become dysfunctional.We now redeveloped the center into a traditional shopping center, keeping Publix Supermarket and adding seven junior anchor and anchor tenants as well as 38,000 square feet of small shops and restaurants. The project was completed in two phases, with Phase One being the construction of the new shops and anchors adjacent to Publix. In Phase Two, some of the current

Bride burning is just one form of dowry death. Others include acid throwing and Eve teasing. Because dowry typically depends on class or socioeconomic status, women are often subjected to the dowry pressures of their future husband or his relatives.

Origins of bride burning
There are at least four perspectives on why bride burning came to be and how its existence has prevailed in South Asian nations, as detailed by Avnita Lakhani in her report on bride burning titled "The Elephant in the Room Is Out of Control". These theories describe practices that contributed to the rise of dowry as a whole, thus ultimately contributing to bride burning.

One of the more culturally-founded theories suggests that in a highly patriarchal society such as India,


burning by saying that "the husband and/or in-laws have determined that the dowry, a gift given from the daughter's parents to the husband, was inadequate and therefore attempt to murder the new bride to make the husband available to remarry or to punish the bride and her family." In India, dowry size is a reflection of wealth. The Indian author Rajesh Talwar has written a play on dowry deaths titled 'The Bride Who Would Not Burn.'

In 1961, the Government of India passed the Dowry Prohibition Act, making the dowry demands in wedding arrangements illegal.

In 1986, the Indian Parliament added dowry deaths as a new domestic violence crime. According to the new section 304-B of the Indian Penal Code, where a bride "within 7 years of her marriage iscup of tea."

The UK has also seen an explosion of demand for bubble tea in 2019, with new shops popping up in several UK cities.

Nicholas Phan, 30, is the founder of the Biju Bubble Tea Room chain in London, which has seen its sales triple over the last three years.

He started the brand in 2014 after noting that although bubble tea was available in the UK, there wasn't much choice, and the teas were often made using stale black tea that had been stored for hours, as well as non-dairy creamer.

Given all the new teas available on the market, a resurgence of the traditional cuppa is unlikely, believes Ms Mcmonagle.

"The builder's brew is quite old school, it's not necessarily a brand that anyone associates with being modern anymore," she says.Q:

What is the history of the university asylum law?

I fear this question may be rather broad and I would like help to narrow it down. Currently a debate is ongoing in Greece regarding the law preventing police from stepping into university campuses. The law was put in place after the fall of the military junta in 1974 which had violently suppressed a student rebellion. Such a protection was meant to safeguard students and freedom of speech. I was reading the New York Times article and the following claim was made at the end:

Odysseas Zoras, the top official of the University of Crete, said both academics and society were ready for an end to an antiquated concept, introduced in Bologna in the 11th century to avert the church’s intervention


privilege the privilegium scholasticum or authentica habita in 1150s. Full universities had to be granted papal or princely privileges to be founded but from 1150s on they had judicial autonomy. It was the result of active and collective defiance of students and professors against infringements and incursions. As Bologna was the blueprint for all European Universities, this was a guiding principle for all of them. Per the will of Barabrossa it also found entry into the  Corpus iuris civilis and was later confirmed by pope Alexander III or the French king in 1200. Later re-affirmations were necessary. Like the papal bull Parens scientiarum in 1231 or when the students in Oxford went on strike after the Saint scholastica riots.

Authentica habita
Authentica habita, or Privilegium Scholasticum, was a documentwritten in 1155 ca. by the Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa. In it, he set out for the first time some of the rules, rights and privileges of Universities. It is a key founding document in the history of the medieval university in Europe.
Scholars from all over Europe had begun to travel to Bologna to study civil and canon law, and newly rediscovered works of Roman law, from the mid-11th century. As foreigners there, they found themselves without legal protection. A particular difficulty was the practice of the Right of Reprisal, where their property could be seized on foot of debts incurred by their countrymen.
The document grants several rights and protections to scholars including:

Similar immunities and freedoms as those held by the clergy, provided they conformed to certain attributes,


punishments stopped short before death penalty, but were certainly sometimes bizarre in the eyes of modern readers. Killing a person in the street seems to have been punished in any case, but much less sever if you were a student. A student on the other hand that allowed himself being caught talking English – of all causes…:

In the universities of Southern France, the marriage of resident doctors and students was also contemplated, and the statutes of the University of Aix contain a table of charges payable as "charivari" by a rector, a doctor, a licentiate, a bachelor, a student, and a bedel. In each case the amount payable for marrying a widow was double the ordinary fee. If the bridegroom declined to pay, the "dominus promoter," accompanied by"dominis studentibus," was, by permission of the Rector, to go to his house armed with frying-pans, bassoons, and horns, and to make a great tumult, without, however, doing any injury to his neighbours. Continued recusancy was to be punished by placing filth outside the culprit's door on feast-days. […]
For contumacy, for grave moral offences, for crimes of violence, and for heresy, the penalty was expulsion. Less serious offences were punished by subtraction of "commons" i.e. deprivation of allowances for a day or a week (or longer), or by pecuniary fines. When College founders provided clothes as well as board and lodging for their scholars, the forfeiture of a robe took its place among the penalties with which offenders were threatened. The "poor boys" who sang in Chapel and
