George Gabriel of Citizens UK also said yesterday: 'We think one of the photos is actually a translator accompanying the children' and the BBC was also criticised online for reporting the false claim, debunked by the Home Office this morning.

It came as migrants and charity workers in Calais' Jungle camp admitted the 'majority' of young migrants are 'lying' about their age to get to Britain as children because it gives them a better chance to enter the UK.

avoidable shambles as well.

STARS AND ACTIVISTS TO MAKE PLEA FOR JUNGLE CAMP CHILDREN ON STAGE Juliet Stevenson, Carey Mulligan, refugees and activists will stage a poignant last plea for the unaccompanied children in the Calais 'Jungle' camp. A reading of the Dublin III regulation, which sets out a refugee child's right to claim asylum, will be performed by them at the Young Vic theatre in London to urge the Government to speed up the resettlement process. With the bulldozers poised to begin the flattening of the sprawling site in northern France, concerns are growing for the children who may not be brought safely to the UK in time. Truly, Madly, Deeply star Stevenson, a staunch campaigner for vulnerable refugee children, said there was 'great concern' that if theyblankets to hide their faces at they got off a coach in Croydon, south London, before meeting immigration officials.

The coach pulled up at around 11.45am, with its curtains drawn, hiding the new arrivals.

There appeared to be just one female migrant among the latest arrivals from the controversial refugee camp.

And many who asked not to be photographed appeared older than teenagers.

A security guard told journalists that the first group were happy to have their photographs taken, while the second group were not.

Five boys, who appeared to be aged between 14 and 16, walked off the bus and into Lunar House when the immigration and visa centre is based.

Some smiled as they stepped towards the Home Office building, while others walked quickly, anxious to get inside.

The first youngster, who appeared


to be about 13 and wearing a yellow hoodie, grinned as he saw the reception, while a security guard held his arm in front of him.

A further four lads followed him, who appeared to a few years older, between 16 and seventeen.

Several were wrapped up for the British weather in jumpers.

The second group, nine in total, looked significantly less happy to see the crowds.

Reaction: Many accused the press of lying that the man was a migrant all based on a Twitter rumour

Jack Straw last night led demands for age tests on child refugees brought to Britain.

He warned the row over whether they were really adults risked undermining public confidence in the asylum system.

The Home Office yesterday refused to order dental checks on the arrivals, saying it would beunethical and intrusive. But Mr Straw insisted he would never have ruled out using such tests when he was Home Secretary under Tony Blair.

Tory MP David Davies also called for dental checks, which are common practice in other countries.

Free health, education and housing will be withdrawn if they fail, said David Simmonds of the Local Government Association.

'Whatto deal with situations where people claiming to be a child have seen it as a back door to route straight to immigration control'.

If you come in as a child, you become a child in care and are handed straight on to the local authority who are then responsible for supporting them financially until the age of 25,' he said.

Mr Simmonds said the warnings about adult asylum seekers pretending to be children had 'fallen on deaf ears' at the Home Office and the cost to taxpayers of disputes had risen as a result. Each judicial review of an age dispute costs councils about £50,000 in legal fees.

Council chiefs have also warned of the risks of sex attacks in schools if adults posing as migrant children are allowed to


enter Britain. A House of Lords committee has been told that possible sexual exploitation of pupils in the classroom was a very real concern.

Local authorities are obliged to find school places for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children who have been driven from their homes by war and famine.

But Paul Chadwick, head of looked-after children and resources at Croydon Borough Council in south London, said difficulties in accurately verifying the age of lone refugees meant adults could sneakinto the UK pretending to be minors – and even receive places at school. That would potentially put younger pupils at risk of abuse.

Dr Chadwick told the House of Lords EU home affairs sub-committee in April: 'The difficulties for schools tend to be in age assessments. Schools are concerned about the possible sexual exploitation of pupils by adults who are claiming to be children and placed in school.

'That is a very real concern in the light of some of the incidents that have occurred in some foster placements nationally.'

In one instance, an Afghan refugee who claimed to be just 12 was exposed to be lying after he assaulted a man looking after him.

Following the attack, indecent images of children were allegedly found on his phone as well as


records of visits to jihadi websites.

A dental examination revealed he had rotting wisdom teeth and was likely to be at least 21. He had arrived in Britain clandestinely via Calais and was sent to live in Wales.

When he told social services that he wished to move to Bristol and was informed that he would have to live with another foster family, he became angry and attacked his foster father.

Daniel Gadi, a nine-year-old boy from Eritrea, was yesterday among those still left at the camp.

His father Abaye said he wanted his son to be looked after by his late wife's sister in London, but had not been accepted as he is not an unaccompanied child.

Neha, a British volunteer working in a café for child migrants in the camp, said: 'I know there are vulnerable kids, kids with epilepsy, who are still here that have family in the UK they could be with right now.

Breast care nurse Hazel Sycamore took 400 donated bras from Southland to Uganda for the local women.

Some would say 400 bras in your suitcase are a few too many.

For Breast Care nurse Hazel Sycamore though, 400 bras were always part of the plan.

In August, Sycamore went over to Uganda as a volunteer aid worker with Fountain of Peace to help with the care of babies and development in the Kyenjojo district.

As well as childcare, Sycamore also helped to provide the women of the district with bras of their own.

Foundation of Peace is a charity which provides care for Ugandan babies who can no longer be looked after by their own families, and places them in family-based homes built by the charity.

Sycamore heard about the charity at her RotaryClub meeting and decided she wanted to help out.

After putting up five signs in the Breast Care Centre where she works and the hospital, Sycamore had bags of bras piling in.

"Within three weeks I had about 400 bras, they just kept coming in the door," she said.

She said women would leave bras at the door for her, and she even had one women come back an hour after her breast care appointment with seven new bras for the trip.

"[The woman] said, 'the women of Uganda deserve brand new ones, not second-hand ones'."

Sycamore spent three weeks in Uganda caring for the Fountain of Peace babies and helping out with the charity's building project.

When the time came to distribute the bras to the local women, Sycamore was amazed with how


many people turned up and the journeys they had taken to get there.

"Some of them had walked five kilometres to get there," she said.

About 70 women showed up to the church where Sycamore and her team were giving out the bras, and a few giggles were shared when they put the bras over top of their clothes to show the local women how to wear them.

"Well, they though it was hilarious."

Sycamore said while some of them had bras, they were in poor condition and others only had a piece of cloth to tie around their chests.

Laughing aside, there was a more serious undertone to the work Sycamore had come to help with and was glad she was able to provide a bit of happiness in a poverty-stricken area.

BRANSON, Mo. – A Southwest Airlines flight that was supposed to land at Branson Airport has instead landed at a smaller airport just outside of the southwest Missouri town.

Southwest Airlines said late Sunday in a statement that Flight 4013 was scheduled to go from Chicago’s Midway International Airport to Branson Airport. The flight instead landed nine miles north at Taney County Airport. It is also known as M. Graham Clark Downtown Airport.

The 15-year-old boy accused in a shooting Saturday night outside Franklin Park Mall will remain in detention at the Lucas County Juvenile Justice Center.

The teen is charged with inducing panic, carrying a concealed weapon, and participation in a criminal gang.

The boy is a member of the Geer Gang Crips, said Lori Olender, who oversees the juvenile division of the Lucas County Prosecutor's Office.

Toledo police reported that officers working off-duty at the mall had just walked into a parking structure around 9 p.m. when they heard several shots and saw several males running. No injuries were reported.

The officers stopped one of the males, and descriptions of the suspects were broadcast. A 15-year-old boy was found in the Kohl’s parking lot with a


group of other people, according to a police report.

Police reported finding a 45-caliber round in his pants pocket. A handgun was found in a nearby snowbank.

During his juvenile court hearing, Magistrate William Hutcheson asked the Start High School freshman, who is currently suspended, if he would like to say anything on his behalf.

“I was shooting,” the boy started to explain before the public defender at his side, David Baker, stopped the teen, and said they would not make any statements in court.

Magistrate Hutcheson asked the boy again if he had anything to say, to which the teen said, “I didn’t harm nobody,” until he was again stopped by the attorney.

Synopsis

Tuor was the son of Rían and Huor, born in the year of the battle Nírnaeth Arnoediad. Upon finding the news of her husband's death, followed closely by her own, Rían left Tuor in the care of the Sindar of [Mithrim]], specifically Annael who became his foster-father. Lead by him, a small group seeked refuge from the Easterlings in the caves of Androth, where Tuor grew until he was 16, learning the elven lore and the mastering of weapons. Trying to leave Dor-lómin, the group was attacked by the masterlings and Tuor taken into slavery for 3 years, until he escaped and ran back to the caves of Androth, where he lived as an outlaw for another 4.

23 years after Nirnaeth Arnoeadiad, in the first day of thenew year Tuor began a journey west, towards the Ered Lómin mountains, in order to find the Gate of the Noldor, following a small river which he considered to be a sign. With the help of Gelmir and Arminas he passed through the gate and entered the coast known as Lammoth. Further on, he entered Nevrast and became the first of the race of Men to have seen the Great Sea Belegaer.

Lead by swans, Tuor found the city of Vinyamar on the slopes of Mount Taras and from the great halls he took the armor and weapons that Turgon
had left, then climbed down towards the sea once more. There, on the shores of Belegaer, the Valar Ulmo appeared before him and spoke of Gondolin, where Tuor, with the


help of the last sailor on the last ship to sail West at the command of Círdan, would need to deliver a message on behalf of the Lord of the Waters.

The guide proved to be Voronwë and together they set towards East, making a stop at the Pools of Ivrin where they caught a glimpse of Túrin, Tuor's cousin, set on a journey of his own. The two companions traveled further, to the tower Minas Tirith built by Finrod Felagund and from there went South, following the road which climbed down in the Valley of the Sirion.

Incomplete Story

Here, the detailed writing stops. In the published manuscript the tale is continued until Tuor is granted passage by Ecthelion and sets his eyes upon the
Hidden City, a passage taken fromfurther incomplete notes of Tolkien, which would also contain a description of Gondolin and Turgon, as well as the first meeting of Tuor and Idril, who became his wife. However, a final version of the tale was never completed.

her desire for pleasure had been driving her crazy with every passing day.


now her desire for lust has increased so much that she even thought of having sex with her elder son gohan, but also thinks that what would her son think of her? that she is a slut.
this thought prevented her from expressing her feelings to gohan.
on the second hand her mind began to think of same in a very different way. she thought that she cannot ask gohan to fuck her but what if gohan himself comes to fuck her?
she had a brilliant idea. the next day he sent getu early to bed and went directly to the kitchen. it was the time of gohan to return from his job as he was of 18 by now. she served him dinner and as gohan was eating chichi wentto her room by saying that she was tired and is going to sleep.
she left the door of her room room wide open and got rid off all her clothes and went to bed pretending to sleep. as she heard gohan passing by her room she coughed in such a manner so that she could get the attention of gohan. as gohan heard the cough he headed forward to her mother’s room.
seeing her naked lying on the ed made him a little excited and a bulge formation also started to take place in between her pants but his this feeling was suppressed by the thought that she was his mother. he gently closed the door and started walking towards his room.

CO of Attack Sub USS Pasadena Relieved of Duty

GROTON, Conn. -- The commanding officer of an attack submarine currently undergoing maintenance at a Maine shipyard has been relieved of duty.

Navy Cmdr. Luis Molina was dismissed Friday as commander of the USS Pasadena, which was formerly based in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

Navy Rear Adm. Rick Breckenridge, the commander of Submarine Group Two, says he lost confidence in Molina's ability to lead the submarine through its maintenance overhaul at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, in Kittery, Maine. The submarine has been at the shipyard since September of 2011.

A spokeswoman for the submarine group in Groton, Conn., Lt. Cmdr. Jennifer Cragg, said she could not comment on why Molina had been removed.

Molina has been reassigned to administrative duties.

According to a Navy press release, Cmdr.and one court in New York has now ruled that a man has the right to prove he is the father of a child born to a women married to another woman at the time she gave birth. The man went to court hoping to win a paternity order, which would effectively cut the biological mother’s wife out of the picture in terms of parental claims.

New York court gives biological father preference over mother’s wife

The case, decided on October 14 but not reported in the New York Law Journal until last month, has an unusual set of circumstances. Ms. C and Ms. S married in New Hampshire in 2010, but their marriage has endured several separations and they are now seeking to divorce. According to the opinion by


Monroe County Supreme Court Justice Joan Kohout in Rochester, during a separation that began in late 2011, Ms. C began a relationship with Mr. M., which she has acknowledged led to her becoming pregnant with J.C. In fact, after the infant was born, by which time Ms. C was back together with her wife, she allowed the biological father two visits with their daughter.

Shortly after the second visit, Mr. M. filed his paternity suit, seeking genetic testing to confirm J.C. is his daughter and also to deny Ms. S the right to claim access to the child other than that afforded voluntarily by the biological mother.

Ms. S was with her wife when she gave birth to J.C., “selected the child’s name and signed her birth certificate,” according to[Secundum atrial septal defect in two families].
Two families having secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) were reported. In one family, a 31-year-old male and his 60-year-old mother had secundum ASD without PR prolongation. His 38-year-old brother was diagnosed as having ASD. His grandmother, who had died at the age of 51, was suspected of having congenital heart disease. From early childhood she was noticed to have heart murmur. It was suspected that this was a case of familial ASD without PR prolongation, because it was consistent with the dominant trait of the defect. In the other family, a 16-year-old female had secundum ASD and her 18-year-old brother was also suspected of having ASD. Her 25-year-old brother had been operated on for tetralogy of Fallot, and her sister had died


of an unknown congenital heart disease. All of these family members had mental retardation. Her 22-year-old brother was suspected of having a congenital heart disease, because of heart murmur from his early childhood. The parents, who were blood relations (cousins), had neither heart disease nor mental retardation. The children of this family were considered to be cases of congenital heart disease with ASD, associated with mental retardation. It was also suspected that the cause of the defect was a deleterious autosomal recessive gene.which, if chosen, means you could share your winnings.

British colonies at risk. This was especially so after Japan entered
the war in December 1941 and threatened to invade countries such
as Malaya and Hong Kong. In order to protect these people, the British
government decided to evacuate many of its officials from several
colonies.

Evacuation started in 1940. The first people to be evacuated were
the wives and children of British officials serving in the colonies.
The officials themselves were left behind so that they could continue
to run the colony and were not evacuated until the country was threatened
with immediate invasion. In total, the British government estimated
that by 1942 over 2,000 people had been evacuated from Hong Kong
and over 9,000 from Malaya.

Ethan Miller / Getty Images The coronavirus pandemic has caused a wave of restaurant, bar and casino closures across the country, as state officials from California to Vermont have scrambled to reduce large gatherings of people to limit the spread of COVID-19. According to the American Gaming Association, at least 973 commercial and tribal casinos — or 98 percent of all gaming properties in the United State — have closed, directly affecting about 649,000 casino gaming employees. Nevada Gov.

five times in seven years.

NaVorro Bowman came on the scene in 2011, starting all 16 games and giving Willis a partner holding down the linebacker position, but Willis is still the leader on defense. There has been talk of whether Bowman is a better middle linebacker than Willis is at this point in time, but the fact the Willis is still doing what he is doing at his age is a testament to his work ethic and his ability.

Why he might improve:

With Bowman recovering from his injury, and Willis being motivated to continue at the pace that he has been playing at since he came into the league, it is safe to say that Willis should take a step forward. There have been discussions about whether Willis haslost a step and when he covered some tight ends last year, it certainly looked like that was possible, but it was common knowledge that Willis was fighting through injuries. Willis is out to prove his doubters wrong and should have a chance to do so with Bowman missing a significant portion of the season due to his injury in the NFC Championship Game.

Why he might regress:

38.2% of the national electric energy consumption came from renewable sources (in 2005 this value was 15.4%), covering 16% of the total energy consumption of the country (5.3% in 2005). The corresponding figure for electricity generation was even higher as consumption figures are reduced by electricity imports (13.6% of the total in 2014). Imported electricity may also contain a high proportion of electricity generated from renewable sources but these are not accounted for in consumption figures.

All 8,047 Italian municipalities (comune) have deployed some source of renewable energy, with hydroelectric power being the leading renewable energy source in terms of production. Bio energy, wind power and geothermal power also make an important contribution to national energy demands.

agreements and a promissory note and guaranty. For the reasons set forth below, Defendants' Motion is denied.

BACKGROUND
Hardee's is a North Carolina corporation with its principal place of business in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. Defendant Joel G. Rosenblatt is a resident of Pennsylvania. Defendant OK Corral, Inc. ("OK Corral") is a Pennsylvania corporation with its principal place of business in York, Pennsylvania.
Defendants entered into three license agreements, a promissory note, and a guaranty with Plaintiff Hardee's. The license agreements allow Defendants to operate three Hardee's franchises in Pennsylvania. The agreements at issue contain a North Carolina choice-of-law provision, state that Hardee's is a North Carolina corporation with headquarters in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, and require payment of fees into North Carolina. The agreements became effective when signed by Hardee'sare not so isolated or attenuated that an exercise of personal jurisdiction would offend due process. Defendants entered into multiple agreements with a North Carolina corporation which required a continuing relationship with that corporation. The agreements clearly indicated that Plaintiff Hardee's was a North Carolina corporation with its principal place of business in North Carolina. Each agreement, furthermore, contained a North Carolina choice-of-law provision. Pursuant to those agreements, the Defendants paid monthly royalty and advertising fees to Hardee's in North Carolina and submitted monthly royalty reports to Hardee's in North Carolina. Finally, Defendants' alleged refusal to make contractually-required payments to Hardee's caused injury, if at all, to Plaintiff in North Carolina. Cf. Burger King Corp., 471 U.S. at 480, 105 S.Ct. 2174.
Therefore, Defendants have purposely established "minimum contacts"

Did Uber break the law by collecting information on users' iPhones to identify the devices even after people had deleted the Uber app? That's what a consumer advocacy group asked the US Federal Trade Commission to find out in a complaint sent Thursday (PDF).

Consumer Watchdog told the FTC in its complaint that this kind of tracking violates federal privacy law. Also, Uber is due for an investigation, the group wrote.

"It is a renegade technology and transportation company whose executives pride themselves on a disruptive, rule-breaking approach to business," the Consumer Watchdog complaint says. "It is long past time for the company and its CEO Travis Kalanick to be held accountable for their actions which regularly flout the law."

The complaint comes in the wake of a New YorkThe NPD report for April 2019 is in, and Mortal Kombat 11 and Days Gone were the month’s best-selling games in the United States.

SHARE:

A luxury resort in the Maldives is set to open the world's first undersea villa, offering guests the chance to sleep with the sharks in a dream-like, watery marine setting.

In the race to bag the title of world's first undersea residence the Conrad Maldives Rangali Island looks to be in the lead, having announced that its US $15 million residence The Muraka will open later this year.

Named after the local Dhivehi word for coral, the residence will span two levels, with the lower space featuring a king size bedroom, living area, bathroom and spiral staircase that leads to the upper floor.

Guests sleep 16 feet (five meters) below sea level with 180-degree panoramic views of the Indian Ocean and its inhabitants:


tropical fish, sharks, corals and other assorted marine life.

When they need to come up for air, guests can climb upstairs to the first floor, which houses a living space, two more bedrooms, bathroom, gym, butler's quarters, security quarters, kitchen, bar, and dining room.

The infinity pool and deck have been designed to face the direction of the sunset for optimum viewing.

The Muraka can accommodate up to nine guests.

The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island also became the first to open an undersea restaurant, the Ithaa, which is now in its 13th year.

The title of world's largest underwater restaurant, however, goes to its sister property the Hurawalhi Island Resort, which opened the restaurant named 5.8, in reference to its watery location 5.8 meters (18 feet) below sea level.

Meanwhile, Dubai is also inthe midst of building the world's first underwater luxury resort which will be modeled after the city of Venice.

The Floating Venice will be located 4 km offshore from Dubai's mainland and feature an underwater space that includes guest cabins, restaurants, and underwater spa.

The blueprint is part of a national effort by the chain to expand beyond rural and suburban areas, where its low prices and massive stores transformed the retail landscape, into urban markets. Although Wal-Mart already operates stores in Northern Virginia and suburban Maryland, it has never had a store in the District.

The four stores would be built in D.C. neighborhoods where retail options are relatively scarce: on the site of a former car dealership on Georgia Avenue NW; at New York Avenue and Bladensburg Road NE; as part of a new mixed-use development on New Jersey Avenue NW; and


dozen or more stores there in coming years.

Its four D.C. stores will vary from 80,000 to 120,000 square feet, a typical size for the chain. The company is also considering additional stores for the District, including a new pilot format of fewer than 30,000 square feet, according to spokesman Steven Restivo.

"We're continuing to evaluate opportunities across the District, and those opportunities are small, medium and large sites," he said.

The company is also trying to improve its image as an employer. In 2007, Wal-Mart named the Washington area one of 10 "jobs and opportunity zones" across the country, promising to help local suppliers and even teach mom-and-pop shops how to compete with it.

At its stores in Washington area suburbs, Wal-Mart pays an average of $12.49 an hour. Although RestivoOculus founder Palmer Luckey donated $100,000 to fund Donald Trump’s inaugural celebrations through shell companies named after elements from classic video game Chrono Trigger, The Washington Post and Mother Jones report. News of the donation broke today, almost a month after Luckey announced he was leaving Facebook, but the money was handed over on January 4th — when he was presumably still under contract with the social media company.

The money was provided by a company called Wings of Time — named after a fantastical machine used in SNES RPG — on January 4th. While Luckey’s name was not recorded in the inauguration committee filings, California records show that Wings of Time is managed by another corporation called Fiendlord’s Keep — another Chrono Trigger reference — of which Luckey


Luckey insisted at the time that he did not support Trump, and would be voting for a third-party candidate in last year’s presidential election. “I am a libertarian who has publicly supported Ron Paul and Gary Johnson in the past, and I plan on voting for Gary in this election as well,” he said.

The apology was followed by a period out of the public eye for Luckey. He had been an outspoken and outsized public figure in the years since he founded Oculus, but his sudden disappearance from both social media and Facebook’s own events led some to question whether the company was trying to bury its connections to the man. That silence continued until March this year, when Facebook confirmed that he would be leaving the company,In Memory of Ann Marie Prather

April 10, 2020

Ann Marie Prather was born January 30, 1947 at Watonga, Oklahoma to Jack Everett and Beatrice (Betty)Bush and passed away April 5, 2020 at the age of 73.

She was a resident of the Friendswood, Texas community for 35 years where she was retired from Camden Corporations as an Administrative Assistant. Ann graduated from Watonga High School. She married Richard Prather at Dallas, Texas on September 27, 1980.

She was preceded in death by her parents; Jack and Betty, her husband Richard, two brothers; Bill and Clifford Bush and one infant son; Nelson David Tomlinson.


Stefan Lee Hannon McGinn was supposed to give way at this intersection in Taupiri. He roared straight through and into another car, killing Hamilton man Trevor Bland.

A teenaged driver who hooned straight through an intersection and slammed into another car - killing one of its occupants - has been labelled a "poster boy" for arrogant, self-entitled young male drivers.

Stefan Lee Hannon McGinn was jailed for two years and three months when he appeared in the Hamilton District Court on Monday on charges of dangerous driving causing death and dangerous driving causing injury.

Trevor Bland, 56, the driver of the car Hannon McGinn struck, suffered critical injuries and died in Waikato Hospital. The force of the Nissan slamming into Bland's Mazda sent the smaller car flying into a concrete powerpole. Bland took the full force of the impact.

The crash near Taupiri on March 12 last year should never have happened because the 19-year-old should never have been behind the wheel that day. His learner licence had been revoked after he racked up a stack of demerit points.

Even if he still had his learner's licence, he was transporting two young men aged 17 and 19 - neither of whom had a licence themselves - which was a direct contravention of learner licence driving conditions.

The warrant of the unregistered car Hannon McGinn was driving had expired in January 2014.

And a police check of his cellphone records showed that in the minutes before the impact at 4.55pm, he had been receiving and sending text messages while behind the wheel.

It was


an insouciant, callous attitude that he carried on after the deadly smash, telling the police the brakes on his car had failed - a subsequent investigation found they hadn't - and denying he had been using his cellphone.

He later failed to show up for four scheduled interviews with the police, refused to give them his home address and when he eventually did, gave them a false address.

He denied the charges against him and was ultimately found guilty at a judge-alone trial in August this year.

He then failed to attend a pre-sentence meeting with his probation officer and was also caught driving again.

Although he displayed little reaction in court, Hannon McGinn would have been left in little doubt of his standing in the eyes of his victims or theyou feel the shame and remorse."

But it was an evident lack of remorse that left Judge Kim Saunders apparently stunned as she sentenced Hannon McGinn.

"You are a poster child for why young men should not be behind the wheel of a vehicle. It is a lethal weapon," she said.

Saunders said she struggled to understand why he had driven again after having been found guilty at the trial.

"I have no idea what on earth you were thinking, that it was your right to continue to drive."

Hannon McGinn had written a letter of remorse in which he said his time in custody had opened his eyes.

He said he was genuinely sorry and now understood the loss and pain the Bland family were going through because he was also going through

How did the Oracle at Delphi really prophesize?

The Oracle at Delphi is referenced throughout Greek myths and history. Supposedly she was rendered psychic by Apollo. Practically, she was off her skull on gas that seeped out of the fissures of the temple in which she lived. Here is the scientific explanation for what caused this woman to utter her confused prophecies.

Even during the Oracle at Delphi's time, it was widely known that the Oracle's visions had a practical cause. Gas seeped out of the cracks in the cave where she sat, causing her to talk nonsense. This nonsense would then be interpreted by priests around her. Some of the predictions were surprisingly accurate - according to legend.

Death toll has risen to 65 across India after dust storms, thunderstorms and rain accompanied by gusty winds hit many states, officials said Monday.

Over 70 people were injured in these storms.

The affected states include Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana and the national capital New Delhi.

The storms hit the states Sunday evening wreaking havoc by uprooting trees, electricity poles and transformers.

According to Sanjay Kumar, relief commissioner in Uttar Pradesh, 39 people were killed and 53 others injured in the storm in Uttar Pradesh.

Apart from Uttar Pradesh, India's state-run broadcaster All India Radio (AIR) said 12 deaths were reported in West Bengal, nine in Andhra Pradesh, three in Telangana and two in Delhi.

Indian Meteorological department officials said squall and dust


storm with a wind speed of up to 109 kmph hit capital city and its outskirts.

The storms caused disruption in flight, rail and metro operations in the capital city, affecting commuters.

Reports pouring in from Uttar Pradesh said nearly 100 houses were gutted in a fire which broke out due to lightning in Sambhal.

Several areas in the affected states faced power outages as electricity lines were snapped.

India's Meteorological department officials said thunderstorms are expected across north-west India over the next 48 to 72 hours, as several weather phenomena, including western disturbances, converge.

Last week 18 people were killed in thunderstorm and rain-related incidents in Uttar Pradesh.

Earlier this month at least 124 people were killed and more than 300 others injured in five Indian states due to dust storms, thunderstorms andNicole Kidman says her comments that Americans should support President-elect Donald Trump were merely a statement of her belief in democracy, not an endorsement of the incoming president.

The Oscar-winning actress's earlier remarks sparked both criticism and praise online after they were aired by the BBC earlier this week.

Kidman tells Access Hollywood that her comments were misconstrued.

She says, "I was trying to stress that I believe in democracy and the American Constitution, and it was that simple."

When an interviewer pressed her for more details, Kidman threw up her hands and said she was done commenting on the topic.

Kidman was born in Hawaii to Australian parents and holds dual citizenship in Australia and the U.S.

Kidman won an Oscar for 2002's "The Hours" and currently stars in "Lion."


When vandals scraped "MOVE" into the bright yellow paint of the Vauxhall Corsa owned by Peter Maddox, they thought they had had the last word. Or, perhaps, when they smashed the rear window and scratched every other panel on the car as well. All of this damage, worth almost $7,500 in total, was because the 84-year-old retired dentist happened to park his car next to his house in the Cotswolds and people thought the racy yellow car was an "ugly" eyesore in the photos they took of the picturesque old village. Maddox eventually ended up buying a grey car so he would be left alone.But, word of the incident spread and support poured in for Maddox.The BBC reports that 100 yellow cars - it was limited to 100,rate hike at its next meeting on March 20-21.

Berbick also lived.

Berbick was the last boxer to face Muhammad Ali in the ring and briefly held the WBC heavyweight title before losing it to Mike Tyson in 1986.

Assistant Police Commissioner Les Green said Sunday that detectives were investigating whether a family conflict sparked the attack. Berbick, who was believed to be 52, was pronounced dead by a local doctor in the church courtyard next to the three-bedroom house where he was raised.

Detective Sgt. Kenneth Bailey of the Port Antonio police station in Portland told The Jamaica Gleaner that Berbick was last seen alive early Saturday at a nearby bar.

"The body had four wounds to the back of the head, as he was probably attacked from behind," Bailey told the newspaper. "The impression and damage done to theskull have indicated that a machete may have been used by his attacker or attackers to murder him."

After beating Ali in 1981 in an unanimous decision in the Bahamas, Berbick went on to win the WBC heavyweight title fours years later in a decision over Pinklon Thomas.

His reign was short, however, as a 20-year-old Tyson knocked out Berbick in the second round Nov. 22, 1986, to become the youngest heavyweight champ.

He fought from 1976 to 2000, finishing with a record of 50-11 with one draw and 33 knockouts. He also fought for his Caribbean homeland at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.

Following his retirement from the ring, Berbick was convicted in the U.S. for sexual assault, grand theft and burglary.

"We have our challenges in life, but Trevor seemed to handle


his challenges very badly," said C. Lloyd Allen, former president of the Jamaica Boxing Board and a close friend. "Once he lost to Tyson, he just went down a slippery slope."

In 1991, Berbick was convicted for attacking his former business manager, who testified the boxer put a gun to her head and accused her of stealing money from him.

The following year, he was convicted of raping a family baby sitter in Florida and was sentenced to four years in prison. He also was convicted in 1992 for forging his ex-wife's signature to get a mortgage on a home.

After 15 months in prison, Berbick was deported from the U.S. He went to Canada, where he lived for a time following the 1976 Olympics. He eventually moved back to theand, of late, parts of Sub-Saharan Africa – a volatile mix of youth unemployment, social and economic exclusion, lack of genuine democracy – in short, governance deficits. A situation now complicated by skyrocketing food prices which today are higher by 2% compared to the peak of the global food crisis in 2008.

In the world we live in – the world of the Internet, Twitter and Facebook – the people, especially the young, are all too aware of opportunities closed, of freedoms denied and aspirations thwarted by elites who are tempted to promote their own interests over the general good.From Avenue Bourguiba to Tahrir Square, like Eastern Europe in 1989, the people are against political systems that leave limited legitimate avenues for expressing discontent; but to take grievances onto


not create sustainable jobs, that creates few opportunities for women and the young, has no resilience.

This is not to underestimate the good progress that has been made in the past 30 years on gender equality, on access to basic education, often under challenging conditions. But we must admit inequalities have worsened. Research by Bank staff show that Africa remains the second most unequal region in the world after Latin America.

Youth – educated, unemployed

And where that hurts is especially among the young, the young graduates. With more than two-thirds of its population under 25, Africa is the youngest region of the world. And the youth bulge is growing. Youth unemployment in many parts of Africa is as high as 35%. The situation for young women is particularly difficult. ADurban is a landmark.

We are working closely with the Government of South Africa, the African Union Commission and African negotiators to support such an effective African voice and a harmonized position in the negotiations. We hope that Durban would make additional progress towards the long-awaited agreement on emissions targets and a new commitment period.

We look forward to agreement on setting up the Green Climate Fund agreed upon in Cancun. The UN High Level Advisory Group on Climate Change, on which I had the honour to serve, concluded that raising 100 billion dollars per annum, as pledged at Copenhagen, is feasible if the political will is there.The Bank is contributing its expertise in the design of funding mechanisms, including by seconding a staff member to the UN Climate Change


or another vertical fund. It is, among other things, about a mechanism within a global framework that cements the link between African development priorities and climate action, addressing the undeniable Africa-specific priorities through a governance structure located on the continent which secures the African voice. That is the spirit of the Africa Fund.

Let me end where I began. The last three years have been momentous ones for the African Development Bank. Since 2008 and 2009 the Bank has risen to the occasion, swiftly responding to the food and financial crisis and now to the revolutions in North Africa. In line with the Deauville G8 Summit partnership, we will coalesce with partners around a common vision for North Africa in support to the transition in Tunisia, in Egypt andCOSHOCTON - Formal charges have been filed against a man who was threatening people over the weekend with a knife at the Coshocton McDonald's.

He was sent by a mere prudent plan of the angelic Valar or governors; but Authority had taken up this plan and enlarged it, at the moment of its failure. 'Naked I was sent back – for a brief time, until my task is done'. Sent back by whom, and whence? Not by the 'gods' whose business is only with this embodied world and its time; for he passed 'out of thought and time'.

Prior to Gandalf's return, he would not have been able to rescue Theoden by breaking Saruman's spell and inspiring and leading the Rohirrim. Nor would he have been able to face down Saruman, as originally Saruman had been the leader of the Istari and


hence more powerful than Gandalf.

So Gandalf sacrificed himself, was accepted, and enhanced, and returned. 'Yes, that was the name. I was Gandalf.' Of course, he remains similar in personality and idiosyncrasy, but both his wisdom and power are much greater. When he speaks he commands attention; the old Gandalf could not have dealt so with Theoden, nor with Saruman. He is still under the obligation of concealing his power and of teaching rather than forcing or dominating wills, but where the physical powers of the Enemy are too great for the good will of the opposers to be effective he can act in emergency as an 'angel'

Gandalf's barring of the Witch-King from Minas Tirith is another example. Previously, he merely aided Elrond's flood in keeping the Nazgul fromRivendell. After his return he was able to single-handedly impede the Witch-King.

He alone is left to forbid the entrance of the Lord of Nazgûl to Minas Tirith, when the City has been overthrown and its Gates destroyed

California Enacts Sweeping New Privacy Law

On June 28, 2018, California Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA or “the Act”), which is the broadest and most comprehensive privacy law enacted in the United States to date.1 The CCPA will affect any organization collecting or storing data about California residents and may effectively set the floor for nationwide privacy protection, since organizations may not want to maintain two privacy frameworks — one for California residents and one for all other citizens. In general, the CCPA will give consumers more information and control over how their data is being used and requires companies to be more transparent in their handling of personal information.

Importantly, the CCPA does not go into effect until January 1, 2020. Asdiscussed below, the California legislature passed CCPA fairly quickly to avert a proposed California ballot initiative in November 2018 that sought to impose even more stringent privacy regulations. Some have argued that the rush to pre-empt the November ballot left CCPA with ambiguities that will need to be resolved over time and that the Act, as currently drafted, may not be the final law that goes into effect.

The CCPA will affect any organization collecting or storing data about California residents and may effectively set the floor for nationwide privacy protection.

California has frequently been at the forefront of privacy regulation in the United States. In 2002, California was the first state to enact a security breach notification law, which became a model for similar laws passed by a number

The Wenckebach phenomenon of entrance block in intermittent atrioventricular junctional parasystole is reported for the first time in a 40-year-old woman. In this case the presence of dual pathways in the atrioventricular junction is demonstrated. One of them is a pathway without conduction disturbance. The other is a pathway containing both the ectopic focus and the site of second-degree entrance block. This site is located a considerably long distance above the focus. Entrance block occurs also at some site below the ectopic focus, which is a part of the pathway containing the focus. It is suggested that entrance block in this lower site might exist during the whole ectopic cycle.

Generally, the method of using the balloon pressure pump includes the following steps: amounting a bracket on a balloon catheter; sending the bracket to the disease part in the vessel by the balloon catheter; injecting a diluted contrast agent by a pressure pump for expanding the balloon; bracing the bracket for boarding the angiostenosis in the disease part; pulling back the pressure pump handle back after the bracket is braced; releasing the pressure in the balloon so as to form a negative pressure environment and

San Rafael, California

Coming from a long line of artisans, it was a natural choice for Sarah Richardson to follow her passion for art. Sarah studied Metalsmithing at Rhode Island School of Design, with further design studies in Germany. After graduating, Sarah moved to New York and designed custom jewelry for a fine jewelry gallery in the West Village, taught metalsmithing, and focused on fine art jewelry. In 2006, she returned to CA and set up her own studio. She has since expanded to a new studio in San Rafael, CA.

It posits that a Kremlin power play is behind the strong rise recently in the number of asylum seekers from Russia, and Chechnya in particular. The paper says there are many Salafists among the newcomers from the republic in the Caucasus. It quotes unnamed German security experts who say that Moscow is keeping a close eye on how the migrant crisis is sowing insecurity among the German people, prompting Putin to open the door for Chechens.

Government: Pure speculation

On Monday, a German government spokesperson described the story to DW as "journalistic speculation, in which we are not taking part." Interior Ministry spokesman Tobias Plate did, however, confirm the numbers cited in the newspaper: Between January

Oppressive situation in North Caucasus

Statistically speaking, there have long been waves of refugees coming from Russia to Germany; it's also true that many of them come from the North Caucasus region. In addition to Chechnya, many come from Dagestan. They're often sick, suffering from cancer, AIDS, or hepatitis. The Chechen government, headed by President Ramzan Kadyrov (supported by Moscow), clamps down brutally on dissidents, and the economic situation is oppressive. "The regime is getting tougher with every passing month. The situation worsened considerably in the past year," Ekaterina Sokirianskaia of the NGO International Crisis Group told "Die Welt."

A house in Germany

Unscrupulous gangs of human traffickers are alsopracticed at tricking the local population. A spike in the number of asylum seekers two years ago was partially due to a rumor being circulated by traffickers that Germany would grant successful applicants a house and a small plot of land. The situation in Dagestan, where the threat of Islamist terrorism is great, is even worse than in Chechnya. In short, the oppression is high enough, that Moscow does not have to launch a special campaign in order to increase the number of people fleeing the region.


Arsenal have no chance of Premier League title with difficult away run, says Paul Merson

Arsenal are eight points behind Leicester in the Premier League with nine games remaining

Paul Merson believes Arsenal have no chance of winning the Premier League title because of their difficult run of away fixtures.

Arsene Wenger's side are eight points behind league leaders Leicester City with nine games remaining, three of which are on the road at Everton, West Ham and Manchester City.

Speaking on The Fantasy Football Club podcast, Merson ruled out his former club's chances of catching Leicester and says the Foxes' main title rivals for the rest of the season could be Manchester City.

Alexis Sanchez struck late to grab a draw for Arsenal in the north London derby last Saturday

"They have no chance[of winning the league]," Merson said. "I say no chance because with the three away games they have at Everton, West Ham and Man City, the best I can see is two draws and a win, and I'm being kind with that.

"That's five points gained and it still leaves them three points behind Leicester, and Leicester would have three games in hand.

"Man City would be the dangers to Leicester for me. Arsenal and Tottenham fans are each hoping the other doesn't win the league and Leicester are going to run away from both and win it.

"The two sets of fans are going to be left saying, 'Yes, but we finished above you!' But who cares?"

They face an uphill battle to qualify after a 2-0 defeat to the Spanish side in the first leg at the Emirates, and Merson believes the FA Cup could offer their best chance of silverware this season, even if Wenger still prioritises Europe.

"Watford is Wenger's biggest game for a long, long time," he added. "I think it is a massive match but it wouldn't surprise me if he made 10 changes and saved everybody for Barcelona, which they have no chance in."Bonneville left on the city’s adjacent mountains.

Benjamin Rush (1746-1813), the 'father' of American psychiatry, is perhaps best known as the inventor of the 'tranquilizing chair'. In recent decades, political and psychiatric activists have attributed a quotation to him in which he allegedly warned: 'To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science.' The source of this quotation cannot be found, and Rush's remarks about 'medical despotism' are inconsistent with the body of his work. Other examples are cited to illustrate the thesis that false attributions, used to support and advance particular ideological causes, are remarkably resistant to efforts at correction.


NFL set to begin clear bag policy for fans

CANTON, Ohio — The NFL will begin its new clear bag policy for fans this weekend at the Hall of Fame inductions and game. For security reasons, fans can no longer bring backpacks or large bags into stadiums. The NFL is ratcheting up its safety measures in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing. The only bags that can be taken into game venues are clear plastic, vinyl or PVC that doesn't exceed 12 inches by 6 inches by 12 inches, including one-gallon clear plastic freezer bags. NFL security director Jeffrey Miller says a secondary perimeter will be set up outside Fawcett Stadium, site of the inductions and the first preseason game, in which Miami plays Dallas. Fans will beVisitors to Canton for the inductions and game had mixed feelings about the restrictions. JT Himmelrick was with his wife, Wendy, and son Will — all Steelers fans from Avella, Pa. He said they were aware of the changes and supported them, to a point. "They were ready to do this before the Boston Marathon attack," Himmelrick said. "They released the information around Super Bowl time that the policy change was coming in the NFL stadiums, so we knew their plans. "At the same time, I think they have gone a little too far." Wendy Himmelrick pointed out that bringing cameras to the game without their protective bags would be unwise. And Scott Osborn of St. Petersburg, Fla., pulled out his Nikon from its bag and shook his


head. "No way I'll let that get kicked around in the stadium," he said. His wife, Amy, said that goes for many items she no longer could bring to a game. "There's all kinds of stuff that gets dumped on the floor, and so you wouldn't want to put anything there," she added. Miller is optimistic that the plan will work, just as it has for several universities, including Penn State, Michigan and Michigan State. "It is groundbreaking in the sense of a professional sports league adopting a policy across the league," Miller said. "I think what we will see moving forward is other sports leagues will follow the NFL's lead. I know some are evaluating changes in their procedures.

Bangladesh did a pretty good impersonation of Rafael Nadal for the first 30 overs of the quarter-final, defending everything with intensity and precision, but when the moment came to hit that winner which sets Nadal apart from other defensive players, Bangladesh kept defending and paid the price. Rohit Sharma kept absorbing the pressure in a largely subdued innings, but exploded in the end to go from 60 off 80 to 137 off 126, helping India score the second-highest score in a World Cup knockout match.

Bangladesh showed they were no pushovers with bowling and fielding that put India under pressure, but the wheels came off towards the end with possibly everything, including the umpiring, going India’s way. Suresh Raina played his


plays both big and small that hurt them in the end. They realised soon enough that this was a flat pitch – the flattest in Australia this summer – and even though India added 75 for the first wicket they defended really well. They were accurate, hardly bowled any bad balls once Rubel Hossein and Shakib Al Hasan came on to bowl, were backed up in the field, and the drying of the runs drew three unforced errors from India.

Umesh Yadav collected 4 for 31 as India bowled out a team for the seventh successive match

Nadal knows when to pull the trigger, just when he has run the opponent ragged. That moment presented itself when Ajinkya Rahane fell trying to force the pace, making it 115 for 3in the 28th over. That was when you would have expected Bangladesh to attack Raina and the tiring Rohit, but they held back their attacking options. Mashrafe Mortaza, their captain who has never looked 100% fit in the tournament, came on to bowl. It took Bangladesh 42 balls to bowl Raina his first bouncer. It was duly top-edged. Raina, though, had
galloped away to 41 off 41 by then after a slow start of 13 off 25.

Other small little things were not paid attention to either. The fielders inside the circle sat back on the ring allowing easy singles, the bowlers did nothing to stop Raina backing up too far and too early at the non-striker’s end, the fielders threw at Dhoni’s end even when Rohit was struggling with


pressure was squarely on Bangladesh, and just when they thought they had caught a break, the umpires let them down.

Rohit then unleashed some artistic late-overs hitting. He saw Raina get out to a slower ball, he saw Dhoni struggle for timing, he was himself exhausted by the effort – physically and arguably mentally – but he exposed gaps in the field beautifully. Without violence he scored 25 off the last nine balls he faced, and Jadeja provided the finishing touches in the end. Bangladesh, after having competed well for at least 30 of the 50 overs, were now left chasing what had never been successfully chased at MCG.

Tamim made a low-percentage start, which was too good to last. It didn’t, ending to an edge to Umesh Yadav.

Football can still set a positive example

BOERNE — After weeks of hearing about football players misbehaving, it's nice to see football solving problems for a change.

Up here at Meadowland Charter School, which caters to an attached residential treatment center for at-risk boys and girls, officials signed up for a flag football league two years ago to give the kids something to do.

They got more than they bargained for, in a good way, on every level.

On the field, the Mustangs went 7-2 and won the regional championship in their first season,beating Por Vida 56-14. Meadowland made the charter school final four, losing 28-14 in the semifinals to Peak Preparatory of Dallas. The team is 2-0 this year.

As it turns out, says admissions director and athletic coordinator James Chavis, flag football is a perfect way to teach life lessons to the 93 kids in grades 3-12 who go to school there.

Like most interscholastic sports, football teaches Meadowland players about teamwork, trust and how hard work pays off.

Unfortunately, those lessons usually come with a price. Chavis and school leaders didn't want their students to become sucked into the pressure-cooker world of high school football.

The residential kids are all wards of the state, removed by Child Protective Services, and placed with Roy Maas' Youth Alternatives, which operates several treatment facilities. These


kids, even the happy ones, have endured a lot of misery.

Flag football, with no pads, no contact, no marching bands and no chance of recruitment, is perfect for Meadowland.

The games, played on Saturday mornings, are against other small, specialized facilities such as KIPP University, San Antonio School of Inquiry and Southwest Prep SE. Those are four-year schools fielding varsity teams.

Again, Meadowland is different. It's co-ed, it's a residential facility and it lets sixth-graders and above play. Girls play on the football team, too, making up nearly a third of the 21-member team. Special-needs kids are included as much as possible as well.

That spirit of inclusion was important for Chavis. These kids are, through no fault of their own, away from their families. Including them as young as possibleolder kids in a non-confrontational way. As one of only two returning players from last year's team — the school's turnover rate is 73 percent, Chavis says — she has assumed a leadership role.

Carlos fought every day when he arrived earlier this year, Angel said, but since joining the team, he has been a model citizen.

And both of the older boys embrace the job of mentoring the younger kids.

But the madeleine cakes that Marcel Proust made famous as the trigger for nostalgia in his book might have actually started out as toasted bread, according to draft manuscripts to be published in France this week.

A first draft of Proust’s monumental novel dating from 1907 had the author reminiscing not about madeleines as the sensory trigger for a childhood memory about his aunt, but instead about toasted bread mixed with honey.

A second draft, the manuscripts showed, had the evocative mouthful as a biscotto, a hard biscuit.

Will Batts

The Man

Will Batts was a fiddler who was part of the jug band scene that flourished in Memphis in the late 1920’s and early ’30s. He was born in Michigan, Mississippi on January 24, 1904. He spent his youth working on farms as an labourer, and it is unknown where he learnt to play the violin and fiddle. In his late teens or early 20s, he decided he wanted to make a career in music so headed off to Memphis, Tennessee and the famous area for music: Beale Street.

In 1909, the music teacher and researcher W. C. Handy and his band moved to Memphis to find larger audiences. Handy was born to play music. With little formal education, he had taught himself guitar, organ


and was a master of the cornet, but his greatest talent was organising groups of musicians and converting sounds from his environment into playable music. He had spend most of the previous decade travelling the Mississippi country side absorbing all the country music that was played in churches or hollered in fields.

Later in 1909, a local politician E. H. Crump commissioned Handy to write a campaign song, titled “Mr Crump”. The song Handy created was unique in several ways – it featured a 12 bar chord cycle that was repeated, with a 3 lines of lyrics sung during each repetition. It was written to be performed by a big band as befits a political campaign. In 1912 Handy renamed it “The Memphis Blues” – this was just thethird time “Blues” had been used in a published song title. By 1914 the song was a standard, though slightly adapted to suit smaller bands performing for ragtime and jazz audiences. Different lyrics had been added, it became the first recorded vocal song with ‘blues’ in the title. Later that year he published ‘St Louis Blues’ and in 1916 he penned “Beale St Blues”. Both undeniably what we recognise as 12 bar blues today, and all three of his ‘blues’ songs were very popular.

The success of Handy’s blues caused an explosion in interest in the new style. Musicians from all over the south headed to Memphis, inspired by this new form of music that incorporated old rhythms and sounds. They brought with them the instruments they used back


home – home made guitars, banjos, washtub bass and fiddles for rhythm and melody, washboards for percussion and jugs to imitate the deep horn sounds. Jug Bands had developed in the Louisville area of Kentucky around the early part of the 1900s, but didn’t really get popular until the mid 20’s when they met with Handy’s blues.

Will Shade, aka Son Brimmer, born February 1896 in Memphis, had heard the Dixieland Jug Blowers from Kentucky, and was inspired to form a local jug band to play the blues. He rounded up a jug blower, a kazoo player a guitarist and with himself alternating on washtub bass, guitar or country blues harmonica, he started the Memphis Jug Band. The band quickly became very popular, and featured a revolving door ofmusicians: Memphis Minnie, Laura Dukes, Furry Lewis, Charlie Burse and Casey Bill Weldon all played with the band at one time and all went on to have successful solo careers. They were first recorded in 1927 and their success inspired other jug bands

Will Batts had established a string band by the late 20s featuring a guitarist named Dan Sane, who was a childhood friend of Frank Stokes. Stokes was a guitarist born on New Years Day 1888, who travelled 25 miles each weekend to play on Beale Street in his teens. He joined a travelling medicine show, learnt professionalism and stage presence and by the 1920’s already was considered a great guitarist and was back in Memphis. He and Sane, would play on street corners and clubs as


the Beale Street Sheiks. The duo also joined aspiring Mississippi born guitarist Jack Kelly in Kelly’s Jug Busters. Stokes was a great influence on the scene, he was recorded in 1927 and again in 1929, this time featuring Will Batts on fiddle.

Batts had arrived on the scene just as the jug bands were gaining popularity, and his country blues fiddle style adapted perfectly with the blues based jug bands. Jack Kelly asked him to join a new version of the Jug Busters with Dan Sane and jug blower D. M. Higgs called the South Memphis Jug Band. Dan Sane handed rhythm and flat picked guitar, Kelly did the lead with his finger style delta influenced guitar and Batt’s quickly became the main singer in addition to his fiddling.

Theband were recorded in August 1933, recording 23 sides under the name Jack Kelly and his South Memphis Jug Band. In the same session, Kelly, Sane and Batts recorded four songs released on 78’s under Will’s name only. On these Will only sang; he did not play fiddle and the jug was absent.

The Great Depression hit soon after the recordings, and time got tough for the local music scene. Little is know about what happened, but Kelly and Batts returned to the studio in 1939 to record another 10 tracks, released under the name Jack Kelly. Dan Sane seemed to disappear after the 1933 session and died in Memphis on February 18, 1956. Jack Kelly continued to perform with the South Memphis Jug Band and other Memphis musicians
