etc.

Efforts went towards WHO and there was an improved collaboration through ERS support to the publication of books: \'Preparing a health care work-force for the 21st century. The Challenge of Chronic Conditions\' and \'Preventing Chronic Diseases. A Vital Investment\'. ERS had an annual January meeting with WHO in Geneva and started to have frequent meetings in relation to the establishment of the Global Alliance against Respiratory Diseases (GARD) which today is an integrated part of WHO\'s non-communicable diseases department.

Relations with the EU were also stepped up: the Brussels office was reinforced and several meetings took place with the director of medical research and the commissionaire for research. ERS succeeded in getting the word \'respiratory\' specifically mentioned in the 7^th^Framework Program, which was a major achievement at that time.For advocacy purposes ERS established an ERS officer position as \'EU Secretary\' and set up the committees for \'tobacco control\' and \'environmental control\' to work in the EU sphere. ERS published with the European Commission the book \'Smoking or Health in the European Union\' and held in Luxembourg the conference \'SmokeFree Europe 2005\'.

ERS became involved in the \'GRACE\' program and took on the role of organiser of courses in connection with the centres involved.

The journal *Breathe*was launched in September 2004. ERS changed to \"Highwire\" as a new hosting platform for the ERJ which resulted in a hit rates increase from 5,000 per month to over 100,000 per week. The ERJ was voted as the \"best scientific journal of the year 2005\" by the Association of Learned Professional Society


and other educational material, often in collaboration with ATS. This was the reason behind the establishment of the \'European Training Program in Respiratory Medicine\'.

HERMES (Harmonised Education in Respiratory Medicine for European Specialists): this was the practical part and basis for the education of a \'European Respiratory Physician\' with the development of a consensus-based European core syllabus, development of a consensus-based European core curriculum, and the European Examination for the European Diploma in Adult Respiratory Medicine (the first examination would be held during the annual congress in Berlin 2008). The HERMES task force began work in 2005, and has now successfully completed the above three phases, all published in the HERMES booklet \[[@B2]\] (*ndr:*an Italian translation of the HERMES booklet appears in this issue of MRM, pp. 50). Thewhole project is a joint venture of ERS, ELF, EBAP, FERS, and the European Union for Medical Specialists (UEMS). At present, the fourth step is in progress: the \"Accreditation of European Training Centres in Adult Respiratory Medicine\".

For this educational purpose a standard high quality content of guidelines and procedures is necessary and this is still in development. The program has now expanded with a specific paediatric module. In relation to the educational and guideline work a position as ERS guidelines director was established. An Ethical Committee was established to be activated when necessary on specific issues to ensure an independent and unbiased view.

**2005-2006 - Giovanni Viegi**recalls of his Presidency:

• the concept and the practice of being part of a team, not just \"one man in command\": when Viegi


entered the Steering Committee in September 2004 after election as President-Elect in Glasgow by the ERS Council (it was the first time that a President was elected by a larger body than the Executive Committee), he immediately learnt from Walter and Ronald the spirit of the presidential cycle which lasts three years (for example, one month later, on October 2004 he was sent to represent ERS in the ALAT Congress);

• the inclusion in the ERS Constitution of his proposed definition of Europe based on the structure of the European Region of the WHO: it helped greatly to expand the participation of national societies in the FERS;

• the inititation, through a questionnaire that was distributed to all current and previous ERS officers, of the process of revising the ERSStrategy;

• the leadership of the FIRS which helped strength-en the links among the \"sister\" international respiratory societies and support the work of the task forces on biomass exposure health effects (terminated with a document published on *Proc Am Thor Soc*(PATS) and on simple spirometry (led by Marc Zelter, soon to be published);

• the launch in Beijing in March 2006 of GARD, a partnership among WHO, respiratory and allergological societies, patients associations, general practitioners, and governmental organizations;

• the successful lobby campaign towards the European Parliament and the European Commission for the inclusion of respiratory and allergic diseases in the EU 7^th^Framework Programme for Research and Development;

• the discussion with the \"Marie Curie\" officers and the participation in the European Conference of \"Marie Curie\" fellows, which prepared the basis for


PAN-NET TB project awarded to ERS;

• the largest ever World Respiratory Meeting held in Berlin in October 2008;

• the First HERMES European Examination held in Berlin 2008;

• the increased profile of ERS in the European scientific scenario linked to unprecedented intense inter-society collaborations particularly with cardiology (European Society of Cardiology, ESC) and infectious diseases (European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, ESMID).

Fabbri also paid tribute to the unique contribution of Archie Turnbull, who ended his invaluable service in 2007.
Medical graduates feel well-prepared for clinical work.
The purpose of this study was to assess the coherence between the undergraduate medical program at Aarhus University and the foundation year. This cross-sectional questionnaire survey included 503 doctors graduated from Aarhus University from the winter of 2007/2008 to the summer of 2009. The response rate was 73%. Approximately 73% of the respondents were in their foundation year or their first year of specialist training and 83% generally felt well-prepared. Respondents found that most of the learning outcomes of the undergraduate medical curriculum at Aarhus University are important for junior doctors. More than 90% of the respondents estimated that they were sufficiently prepared when it came to core outcomes such as history taking and physical examination. Five issues diverged considerably in importance


Wales has been ranked the number one trending region in the UK with Airbnb guests, with 81% year on year growth (based on figures between June 2017 -June 2019).

With a warm welcome, beautiful National Parks, and vibrant communities – we can’t say that we’re surprised! On top of this, Cardiff is currently ranked the 11th highest trending city in the World with Airbnb guests.

So why do we think Cardiff has ranked so highly? Many reasons! For starters, Cardiff is fortunate to have one of the highest seating capacity stadiums in Europe – attracting events such as the champions league final – Anthony Joshua – Monster Jam – and top artists such as Coldplay – Ed Sheeran – and of course the Six Nations Rugby! Not only is thecity centre a hub for sport and music, it’s filled with cultural and historical significance – from the Bay to the Castle, Cardiff is drenched in history. The capital city also boasts more green space per person than any other UK core city, with over 330 parks and gardens – adding another reason to make it the perfect location for a getaway.

With tourism booming, Airbnb has thrived within the city. It may be a shock to discover, but there is an immense shortage of hotel rooms available in Cardiff; if the Principality Stadium alone was filled to capacity, there would be almost sixteen times more people than hotel rooms available. It is no wonder then that Airbnb lettings and renting have dramatically risen with the influx of tourism


– offering a home away from home to guests, and providing the opportunity for local residents to unlock the earning potential of their property.

Based on figures between July 2017 – July 2018, households in Wales earned a staggering £32 million in income through Airbnb. In the emergence of this growing market, Moginie James (the leading independent Estate and Lettings agency) have decided to utilise their skills and expertise to diversify – officially launching Hello Ted, the first and only Airbnb management company in Cardiff. Concentrating on allowing homeowners, vendors, and landlords the chance to reap the rewards of flexible letting, monetising void periods, and increasing earnings (to the tune of circa 30%+) – Hello Ted services offer a hassle free share of the expanding Airbnb market.

The Sakhalin Shipping Company (SASCO) is winding up its Arctic navigation season. This year, it shipped over 1,500 20-foot containers of freight to the Arctic, Interfax reports with a reference to the company's press service.

"Freight transportation through the eastern part of the Northern Sea Route began on July 15, 2016. The company's container vessels sailed four voyages from China to Pevek. The ship Sasko Avacha is currently finishing its Arctic navigation by sailing to Pevek from America," the report says.

During this navigation season, SASCO shipped over 1,500 20-foot cargo containers to the Arctic. The company's vessels Simushir, Shantar and Sasko Avacha were involved in cargo transportation.

The Sakhalin Shipping Company is the only company that provides year-round shipping


MUMBAI: Retaining high potential talent through monetary incentives is a regular practice across industries. Disincentivising competition from acquiring your key talent by way of ‘ garden leave clauses ’ — seen mainly in the banking , financial services and insurance ( BFSI ) sector — is a trend now picking up pace in other segments as well.Unlike a notice period, which an employee serves within the company after resignation, garden leave is a period that a person serves after he/she has left the organisation but cannot join another company. Garden leave clauses can be a disincentive for prospective employers because of the time lag and possibility of a no-show even after the candidate has served the period.Executive search firms and HR experts told TOI that a number ofcompanies in the consumer, technology and semi-conductor space is incorporating such clauses in employment contracts of senior-level personnel as a retention tool. This is to create additional barriers for rival organisations, who may hesitate to wait for three-six months for hiring a candidate.Garden leaves, which were earlier seen in very senior positions in the financial sector, are now becoming more common. Executive Access India MD Ronesh Puri said, “Earlier, there were isolated cases where a person occupying an important position in a bank or a financial services firm had a garden leave clause in the contract, which ranged from three to six months. This is now moving to other industries like services and consumer sectors. Companies are raising queries with us. They are asking us how to go

Rudyard Kipling was born in December 1865 in Bombay, India. When he was six, he was sent to boarding school in England. In January 1878, Kipling was admitted to the United Services College, a school founded to prepare boys for the British Army. In 1882 Kipling returned to India to be assistant editor of a small local newspaper, the Civil & Military Gazette. In November 1887, he was transferred to the Gazette’s much larger sister newspaper, The Pioneer, in Allahabad, India. He returned to London in 1889 and by 1892, Kipling had written THE JUNGLE BOOK It became popular and Kipling is one of Britain’s most prominent authors.

Schimmelpfennig has worked for the Red Cross and describes herself as a leading expert in the 2004 post-tsunami recovery efforts in Thailand, where she says she saw the impact of aid from the perspectives of donors, villagers and aid workers.

Her blog, "Good Intentions are Not Enough," explains why cash donations are often much better than sending goods to a disaster-stricken area.

In a list of the "Dos and Don'ts of Disaster Donations," Schimmelpfennig explains that "after the tsunami tons of used clothing were donated, much of it inappropriate to the climate and culture." They included winter hats, coats and gloves.

"Donated goods can also clog ports, preventing more immediate relief items from getting through," she writes. "Ports can onlylocally, either in Haiti or on the island within the Dominican Republic, are better purchased locally because of the very obvious transport cost, which can often dwarf the cost of the materials many times over," Wingate told CNN.

At least six people have died and large areas of koala habitat destroyed in the catastrophic fires.

Australia's already dwindling koala population is being further threatened by devastating bushfires that have burned more than 2.5 million acres on the country's east coast.

At least six people have died and more than 300 homes have been destroyed in New South Wales as of Saturday, according to the New South Wales Rural Fire Service. Firefighters are also battling at least 60 fires across Queensland, while the Gospers Mountain fire has burned nearly 400 square miles and destroyed at least six homes southwest of Sydney, according to the Guardian.

The country's koala population has been left particularly vulnerable by the destruction, with as many as 350 koalasfeared dead following bushfires that ripped through a vital koala habitat in the Port Macquarie area of New South Wales. Search and rescue teams scouring the area for surviving koalas have brought at least 31 koalas to the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital to be treated for burns and dehydration, the hospital said in a statement. A GoFundMe created by the hospital to has raised more than $700,000 to date.

Port Macquarie Koala Hospital/GoFundMe

Money raised from the GoFundMe campaign will go toward setting up automatic drinking stations for dehydrated koalas whose habitat has been scorched, and create a "Koala Ark" breeding area for the surviving koalas. The koala population has already been threatened by widespread habitat destruction, chlamydia, and inbreeding. Females only produce one offspring a year, though some may


only produce every two to three years, and dog attacks and car accidents also pose threats. The Australian Koala Foundation estimates 4,000 koalas are killed by cars and dogs every year.

Volunteer groups such as Koalas in Care have also taken in koalas found burned and dehydrated after the fires.

"This is the gruesome task of having to clean up burns and treat them and hope that their little paws recover," Christeen McLeod, who runs the group in New South Wales with her husband Paul, told ABC.

The couple runs a koala hospital in their home and treat the injured animals by sedating them when possible, cleaning their scorched fur and applying cream to burns. They were treating 24 koalas as of this week, including one they named Sooty.

The 4 pages included this week are some great shots of Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain.

Neal Joseph Schon first rose to fame as a guitar player for the band, Santana. In 1973 he helped form the band, Journey, with Gregg Rolie and Walter J. (Herbie) Herbert, Ross Valory, George Tickner, and Prairie Prince who was replaced by Aynsley Dunbar.

Neal is one of the best live guitar players of all time. He has played with many bands, and has a successful solo career along side of Journey. The Escape Tour gave Neal to expand his range and play for bigger and bigger audiences.

INSERT TEXT;NEAL SCHONGuitars and vocals. A man of obsession! His focus has been the guitar since early childhood. He continues to pay respect to


his contemporaries by pursuing that obsession.

Jonathan Leonard Friga, better known as Jonathan Cain first became known as the keyboard player for the band, "The Baby's". Jonathan Cain was noticed by Journey while they were touring together in 1980 on the "Departure Tour" and became a member of the band soon afterwards.

Jonathan also has a full line of solo projects to his name including producing his ex-wife's (Tain Cain) band. Jonathan was also in the band "Bad English" with Neal Schon.

The Escape Tour was Jonathan's first tour with Journey and always performed a piano solo. He can also be seen playing guitar along side of Neal while playing live. Jonathan co-wrote every song on the Escape album and has been a welcome member ever since!

INSERT TEXT;JONATHAN CAINKeyboards, guitars andvocals. His brilliance and drive has been the perfect addition to Journey. He's also one of the most prolific purveyors of songwriting ability in the business today.

Journey's most famous and bootlegged Journey concert ever is "Live at the Houston Summit 11-06-81". Finally in November 2005, it was released properly on CD and DVD by Columbia Records.

The concert was recorded November 6, 1981 at the Houston Summit in Houston, Texas. Simulcast on March 20, 1982 on MTV and radio stations across America by way of King Biscuit Flower Hour. (Televisions did not have stereo in 1982 and so this was the only way to achieve a TV broadcast in stereo.)

A great shot of Steve Perry made into a Poster. Steve Perry joined the band in 1978 when they were trying to extend the vocal range of the band. The balance between Steve Perry and Gregg Rolie's voices is what Journey so special and something was definitely lost when Gregg left the band in 1980. What was gained was one of the greatest song writing teams ever assembled, Steve Perry and Jonathan Cain. You put that with Neal Schon's Guitar playing and you simply have magic.

Steve was main reason reason the band started gaining more success. His flawless voice combined with his excellent song writing abilities made him the star of the band. Being told how great you are can play tricks with your headand so this tour was last time we would hear that impeccably perfect voice the way we've come to love it again. It was this tour, especially with Bill Graham's 1982 big arena leg of the tour that strained his voice beyond repair. Starting with the "Frontiers" album you'll notice a slightly raspier voice coming through, still unmistakably Steve Perry, but yet not quite the same. Still to this day, the greatest singing voice the World has ever seen!

known as "The Whale" which comes later.

Six dates were played in California as the "Pre-Escape Tour", but "The Escape Tour" officially started in Japan on July 27, 1981 and ran until December 22 where the tour ended in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Tour started as all Journey tours do, but when the album hit #1 in America the shows started getting bigger and bigger. Six dates were played at the Pine Knob in Clarkson, MI as well as 4 dates at the Fabulous Forum in Los Angeles, CA. Little did anyone know this wasn't the end of the tour...

The excitement of this edition of the fan club's newsletter keeps on going. It's like Christmas in August!

The ever so popular "Mailing with Department Codes" page is sureIt's really the 1980 Departure on 2 vinyl albums which went double platinum!

The Escape was about to begin. The album was released on July 31st 1981 and by November hit #1 in America. Escape was the biggest selling Studio album Journey ever had. The album spawned 5 chart topping singles including one of the songs, "Don't Stop Believin'" which was rereleased in 2009 due to it's people;parity as the #1 downloaded song. This was one of those albums that you bought on vinyl and then you had to buy again on CD due to the timing of the release. The Audio Cassette was also still a big seller for your car, so you might have had 3 versions of this album at the time. The album and singles


released on bail.

According to a local news site it's not clear if the new charges are related to the incident that led to his earlier arrest, however, the drummer has now been charged with "unlawful use of a weapon, two counts of menacing, one count of rape in the first degree, one count of sexual abuse in the second degree, four counts of assault in the fourth degree and one count of assault in the second degree, one count of coercion and one count of criminal mischief in the second degree."

Following the drummer's arrest, Journey announced that Omar Hakim would fill in for Castronovo on the band's upcoming U.S. tour dates.

"We have made the decision to have Omar Hakim play drums for the band's upcoming U.S. concerts (HollywoodBowl on Saturday, June 20 and the Stadium of Fire in Provo, Utah on Saturday, July 4), as well as the band's Canadian tour (July 6 – August 3), due to Deen Castronovo's pending issues," the band said in a statement on June 18. "We are very grateful to Omar filling in with his musical excellence."

Castronovo, who joined Journey in 1998, was also arrested in 2012 for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend.

This week we begin with a repeat the last page from last week because it's a great lead into the History of Journey and our farewell to Gregg Rolie, Journey Keyboardist and Key Vocalist from 1973 to 1980.

Gregg Alan Rolie was born on June 17, 1947 in Seattle Washington. Gregg first gained success as the


keyboardist for the band "Santana". In 1973 Gregg and Neal Schon started a new group that would end up becoming "Journey".

Gregg has been playing on the road for many years in both bands and by the end of Journey's 1980 Departure Tour he left the band. He picked his own replacement, Jonathan Cain and then went on to continue writing and playing the kind of music he wanted to play.

Journey went on to bigger and bigger success and this was just the beginning...the Treaty establishes what
is termed the protected zone which encompasses both the waters of
Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Australia (ie the AFZ). This zone is
intended to protect the traditional way of life and livelihood of
traditional inhabitants, including fishing and movement across the
PNG / Australian maritime boundary, as well as giving protection to
flora and fauna. The Treaty also provides for cooperative fisheries
management arrangements in and around the zone. Officers appointed
under FMA do have some jurisdiction in the protected zone, but the
TSFA creates its own law enforcement regime, including fisheries
offences.

Under a 1974 agreement with Indonesia,
Australia allows limited access by Indonesian fishers to some areas
of the AFZ that have traditionally been fished by them. Species
fished under such arrangements include trepang, trochus, abalone
and sponges. However, according the Minister s second reading

the Government intensifying its efforts to stop the flow of illegal
fishing vessels from Indonesia through various initiatives under
the Australia-Indonesia Working Group on Marine Affairs and
Fisheries.

The FMA contains substantial law enforcement
powers to combat illegal foreign fishing. Where a boat is
intercepted in the AFZ on suspicion of an offence, the boat is
usually taken back to the mainland for investigation purposes. The
crew of the boat are automatically given enforcement visas under
the Migration Act 1958
(Migration Act)(4) which allows them into the Australian
migration zone. Detention of the crew is generally on their own
boats at Broome, Darwin, Gove or Horn Island, except where their
boats are unseaworthy, during periods of extreme weather or if
fishers require medical attention. As at 2 March 2005, there were
58 suspected illegalrange of
processing functions (searches, identity checks etc) whilst persons
are under fisheries detention.

Existing section 84 of the FMA sets out the
powers of officers . In addition to fisheries officers appointed
under the FMA, these include AFP or State / Territory police,
Defence Force (ADF) members, and Customs officers. Included in
section 84 powers is the ability to seize a boat reasonably
believed to be have been used in contravention of the FMA and
require the ship s master to take the boat to a nominated place for
the purposes of further investigation. Section 42 of the TSFA
contains similar powers.(10) In practical terms, the
exercise of such powers means that the liberty of the master and
crew is likewise restrained.

UPDATED: UK Cuts Funding of Anti-Israel, Pro-BDS Charity [video]

The UK Department for International Development (DFID) has announced that it withholds its support for War on Want, one of the sponsors of last February’s Israeli Apartheid Week, The Telegraph reported.

Back in February, War on Want announced that it was “proud to be co-sponsoring some great events for Israeli Apartheid Week 2016.” Earlier, the group stated: “War on Want supports the call from Palestinian civil society to build a global movement of boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel until it complies with international law. Join us in making this a year of struggle for justice, freedom, and equality.”

Except that The Telegraph was able to present undercover recordings of WoW-sponsored events steeped in anti-Semitism, calls for the destruction of Israel, andloan to the Treasury or Obama will implement one of the presidential directives put on the books by George W. Bush. Nevertheless, the government’s shutdown and the specter of a Washington default has made a deep impression on the world. Washington’s power has been diminished permanently.

Washington’s economic embarrassment came close on the heels of being exposed as a liar and blocked from attacking Syria. Neither the American people, nor the UN, nor the British Parliament, nor NATO, nor the Russian government would tolerate another Washington act of naked aggression.

With comeuppance following comeuppance, the diminished superpower will be showing less arrogance in the future.

Now that the rest of the world has stood up to Washington, the American people need to stand up to the executive branch, take back their

A millennial candidate has shaken up the US Democratic Party by defeating the incumbent congressman for his seat.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, 28, defeated political veteran Joe Crowley, 56, on Tuesday night in their party's congressional primary in New York City.

Mr Crowley, a 10-term Democrat, had been tipped as a future party leader or even Speaker of the House.

Ms Ocasio-Cortez, a former Bernie Sanders volunteer from a Puerto Rican family, won with 57.5% of the vote.

Mr Crowley had not faced a challenger from his own party in 14 years in the mostly ethnic minority district, which covers parts of the Bronx and Queens.

Ms Ocasio-Cortez will now face Republican candidate Anthony Pappas in the November mid-terms.

If shewins, she will become the youngest ever woman elected to Congress.

She led a progressive campaign, supporting universal healthcare, tuition-free college and criminal justice reform.

Following Ms Ocasio-Cortez's win, Merriam-Webster tweeted that socialism emerged as their top search item.

The political novice, who describes herself as a socialist Democrat, had huge grassroots support. She raised more small-dollar donations than any other New York City congressional candidate.

In fact she found little support from established Democrats.

Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a top Democrat who has a political action committee designed to support women candidates, endorsed her opponent Mr Crowley.

Ms Ocasio-Cortez posted on Twitter after Ms Gillibrand's endorsement that the New York senator "didn't even bother to


talk to nor consider me before endorsing".

Warning shots fired

Analysis by Anthony Zurcher, BBC News

The progressive left just fired a warning shot across the bow of the Democratic Party establishment.

Congressman Joe Crowley was seen as a potential future speaker of the House of Representatives.

Now he is taking a forced exit from politics, paying tribute to the young activist who defeated him with a rendition of Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run after conceding defeat.

Up until now, it seemed like Democratic incumbents had been insulated from the anger and energy that has coursed through the political left during the Trump presidency.

New candidates - many younger, many women - were running for office, but they were mostly winning open primary contests or losing to better-funded, better-known Democratic incumbents.

They thanked each other after the result, with Mr Crowley saying he would support Ms Ocasio-Cortez in the mid-terms.

At his concession speech, Mr Crowley played guitar, dedicating the song Born to Run by Bruce Springsteen to Ms Ocasio-Cortez.

Political analysts see her 15-percentage-point victory as the biggest political upset within a party since Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor lost in 2014 to a little-known right-wing professor, Dave Brat.

Ms Ocasio-Cortez is now one of 130 women who have won primary elections for US House seats, 80% of who are Democrats.

There are still 341 women in the running in the House of Representatives - a record high, according to the latest data from the Center for Women and American Politics.

Drugs, race and graft

The Cleveland-area victims are among thousands of people who have been exonerated in cases involving police graft over the last three decades countrywide, from California to Texas, and from New Jersey to Ohio. In Philadelphia, more than 800 people have had their convictions dismissed. The Rampart scandal in Los Angeles in the late 1990s led to at least 150 tossed cases.

These "group exonerations" are distinct from the stories of people cleared by DNA or new evidence, a movement led by crusading lawyers who dig


these feelings toward law enforcement," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Ed Feran, who prosecuted the East Cleveland officers.

Setups and thefts

East Cleveland is a city in distress, much more so than Cleveland, its larger Rust Belt neighbor. More than 40 percent of its 17,843 residents live in poverty, almost all of them black. Mass demolitions of abandoned homes has left the 3-square-mile city pocked with vacant lots. The median household income is $19,592. The local government is near bankruptcy.

That is the atmosphere in which the rogue street crimes unit operated.

After the FBI got tipped-off in early 2013, agents had the drug dealer who caught officers lying about buying crack at his house wear a wire. His secret recordings caught one ofthe officers shaking him down for $3,000 during a traffic stop.

From there, investigators uncovered more frame-ups and thefts. They documented several of them in an October 2015 indictment that charged the rogue unit's commander, Torris Moore, and two underlings, Antonio Malone and Eric Jones, with illegally searching and stealing from alleged drug dealers and faking reports to cover up their crimes.

The indictment included charges that the officers had arrested an alleged drug dealer identified as K.B. The following day, while K.B. sat in jail, the indictment said, the officers broke into his room at his grandmother's house and took $100,000, keeping a third of it and turning in the rest.

Blackshaw did not know his case was under investigation. He learned of the officers' arrest by watching the news in prison. He called home and an aunt told him she'd already talked to his lawyer. "We're working on getting you out of there," he recalled her saying.

A feeling of vindication washed over Blackshaw. He had agreed to go to prison even though he didn't think his arrest was legitimate. He has a long history of drug offenses, and his charge, possession of more than 100 grams of cocaine, carried a mandatory minimum sentence of 11 years behind bars. He maintains he did not havea Conviction Integrity Unit, which helped make sure all of the convictions were vacated. Blackshaw was released from prison in February 2016.

All three officers were sentenced to prison: Moore got nine years, Malone six and Jones nearly four. In a tearful courtroom apology, Moore said she'd turned rogue in 2011.

That revelation prompted the Conviction Integrity Unit to review all of the officers' work since 2011. They came up with dozens of suspect cases. In some, the officers cited the use of confidential informants without proving their existence. In others, money used for undercover drug purchases, or money seized in arrests or raids, was not properly logged, raising questions about where the cash ended up.

Bali Arts Festival June 13 – July 11, 2009

Month Long Celebration of the Arts Returns to Bali for 31st Year.

The provincial government of Bali will invite around 20 Jakarta-based ambassadors to witness the opening of the 31st Bali Arts Festival by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on June 13, 2009.

Quoted by the national news agency Antara, the head of the Art and Culture Section of the Bali provincial government, I Made Santha, said the foreign ambassadors, the Indonesian head of state and a number of ministers from the presidential cabinet would attend the opening ceremony at the Ardha Candra Building, Taman Budaya. The opening will also include a presentation of the Bima Swasrga dance-drama presented by a group of Bali-based artists.

Santha told the press the Bali Arts Festival wouldopening of the Bali Arts Festival took place at Niti Mandala Renon in front of the Bajra Sandhi Monument. The return of the opening to the front of the Jaya Sabha Building follows the tradition established in 1978 by the festival’s founder, the late governor of Bali, Professor Ida Bagus Mandra.

The change in location reflects the wishes of many people in Bali, a change that received the blessing of Governor Made Mangku Pastika and Vice-Governor AAN Puspayoga.

The Bali Arts Festival presents a month-long program of cultural presentations and seminars by Balinese performers joined by arts troupes from abroad and across the entire nation of Indonesia.


A US-born NASA scientist says he was detained by US border police, until he agreed to unlock his phone and let the agent copy or examine the phone's contents. The phone was NASA property, but the US Customs and Border Protection—another wing of the federal US government—seemingly didn't care.

When a drone allegedly collided with a British Airways plane landing at London's Heathrow Airport on Sunday, it was thought to be the first time such a thing had happened.

But it turns out there's little evidence that whatever the plane hit was actually a drone.

According to the United Kingdom's Department for Transport Minister Robert Goodwill, who spoke about the incident from Parliament on Thursday, it "may have even been a plastic bag."

The pilot of the British Airways Airbus A320 reportedly said upon landing that he thought the plane had collided with a drone as it descended.

Alternatively, Jonida contests the award of benefits to Hunt and the requirement that Jonida secure payment of the total amount of the award.  For the reasons set forth below, we affirm the decision of the Board.

including Rollins. “Her win means that everyone needs to start paying attention to these critical races. Justice and good governance begin at the community level, and in this case, justice begins with Rachael Rollins.”

Massachusetts is, in general, a progressive state, but Boston’s criminal justice system has been criticized for moving too slowly on reforming its criminal justice system and reducing mass incarceration. It was an unusual race in Suffolk County. The outgoing district attorney, Dan Conley, who was criticized for resisting efforts to reform the county’s criminal justice system, announced earlier this year that he wouldn’t run for re-election after holding the office for 16 years. That left the seat open for the first time in almost 100 years.

Progressives are spending millions of dollars to challenge local prosecutorsaround the country who are maintaining the status quo, aiming to replace them with criminal justice reform advocates. They are hoping to replicate what is already happening in Philadelphia, where new District Attorney Larry Krasner is reshaping the city’s criminal justice system with the goal of ending mass incarceration.

And, although the race for prosecutor has historically been a sleepy affair, in recent years dozens of incumbent prosecutors have faced challengers, and several veteran prosecutors have been ousted by candidates running as criminal justice reformers. Just last month, St. Louis County District Attorney Bob McCulloch, who had served in the Missouri office for nearly 30 years and who famously failed to secure charges against the police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown, an unarmed African-American man in Ferguson,


The series ended on an island but its bad beginning is still rife with controversy, confusion and contempt. As of today, we have no idea how the Baudelaire fire happened, or who escaped it, or why it was so important. In one of the most infuriating and frustrating pieces of dialogues Daniel Handler has ever written, we, the readers, are denied any answer to this mystery:

Klaus knelt down beside his sister, and stared into the villain’s shiny eyes.

“You’re the one who made us orphans in the first place,” he said, uttering out loud for the first time a secret all three Baudelaires had kept in their hearts for almost as long as they could remember. Olaf closed his eyes for a moment, grimacing in pain, and then staredthe Baudelaire parents would allow Olaf to gain custody of their children and from then on concoct schemes to steal their massive inheritance.

the fateful event hosted by the Baudelaire parents before their death. Near the end of the meal, baby Sunny Baudelaire looked out the window and began to cry with a clarity and force that would soon characterize her ability to bite things. Her cries alarmed a number of guests who were in the process of passing around the sugar bowl.

[The Dismal Dinner, part 4.]

But there is also another event which occurs shortly before the Baudelaire fire, this time revealed in the additional notes of "The Bad Beginning: Rare Edition”. It concerns another fire, that of ther Royal Gardens, which happened some time before the start of the series. To put it plainly, Olaf failed to burn down a place where he was attempting to steal a poisonous plant,said, and they smiled. They were both remembering a time when the two of them got up early to make a special breakfast for their parents. Violet had burned the toast, and their parents, smelling smoke, had run downstairs to see what the matter was. When they saw Violet and Klaus, looking forlornly at pieces of pitch-black toast, they laughed and laughed, and then made pancakes for the whole family.

Bertrand, meanwhile, ran after Olaf to prevent his escape and to make sure he wasn’t following Beatrice to the sugar bowl’s hiding place.

patient relationships and sexual expression in his or her country, where these existed. The countries represented were Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, FYR Macedonia, Germany, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Scotland, Spain, Switzerland and the UK.

Representatives from four of the countries (Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK) agreed to participate in an additional telephone interview designed to elicit greater detail. These countries were chosen because of their diversity: the UK and the Netherlands representing the more extreme ends of restrictiveness/permissiveness in forensic psychiatric care, with the other two representing more of a middle ground. All these countries are also known for their long history of forensic-psychiatric care provision. An additional expert from the UK was invited to participate in the telephone interviews to allow both the medium and themodern and iconic as the Eiffel Tower, it was, is and will be a technological marvel for the ages. One, as the most important designs from Girard-Perregaux, the other as the most recognizable mark of Paris, France.

Girard-Perregaux Minute Repeater Tri-Axial Tourbillon is a worthy descendant of the 1889 piece. Ultra-modern materials, innovative design and a powerful brand trademark – elements that made this piece one of the author’s top picks from SIHH2018.

The case, dial and hands

The Girard-Perregaux Minute Repeater Tri-Axial Tourbillon is a powerful, masculine statement. Its design is a combination of classic haute horlogerie with ultra-modern characteristics. At the first look, the watch strikes with a classic appearance, only to reveal, at a closer inspection, a series of bold, almost audacious elements.

The case is machined from grade


a nice wrist feel. The titanium makes it light enough to wear small, much smaller than expected from a 48mm diameter. The curved lugs make the Minute Repeater Tri-Axial Tourbillon look good on both smaller and larger wrist sizes.

The watch face and movement are skeletonized. The appearance is very technical but extraordinarily beautiful. Overall interesting details and intricate finishes.

The dial has a central element of two subdials. One is for the minutes with a sapphire disk printed with minutes track and roman numerals for 15, 30 and 60 minutes. The second one placed symmetrically opposite the first, and is decorated with hour indexes, a printed brand name and a gold applied logo. The subdials are fixed with metallic armature on a central bridge bearing the iconic bridge shapethe black PVD central GP bridge.

The movement GP09560-0001

The Minute Repeater Tri-Axial Tourbillon watch is powered by the astounding GP09560-0001 calibre. An important characteristic of the movement is the striking mechanism placed on top. This layout removes part of the disadvantages of the back traditionally placed repeaters like the wrist sound absorption.

The Tri-Axial Tourbillon is truly a piece of high complications. The 140 part-tourbillon weighing 1.24 grams in its carriage moves on three different axes at varying speeds. The first axis needs two minutes for a full rotation. The second axis performs a rotation in one minute and the third one in 30 seconds. The setup outcomes, in theory, all the negative effects of the gravity. Even if the complication improves little in a wristwatch, compared with a fixed


positioned pocket watch, the tri-axial tourbillon is a magical, hypnotic mechanical beauty.

The calibre GP09560-0001 attempts a charming symmetry. The black PVD bridges make a nice contrast with the rest of the movement. The front of the main plate is adorned with a delicate perlage while the back is satin brushed.

As one might expect, the calibre is highly complicated, featuring 518 parts, only for the regulating organ a number of 140 components are used. The balance wheel has a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour or 3 Hz, the movement offering an impressive 60 hours of power reserve.

The Competitive Landscape

The Girard-Perregaux Minute Repeater Tri-Axial Tourbillon is a highly complicated piece with exceptional finishes. While it is not the only piece of the market bearing this combination of repeater/tourbillon complication,estate is entitled to deductions, under Sec. 812(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C.A. Int.Rev.Code, § 812(d), for the amounts representing the date of death values of certain charitable bequests contained in the residuary clause of testator's will, a portion of which bequests were by the terms of the will to be effective after the death of testator's widow, who was a life tenant, and the balance of which bequests were by the terms of the will to be effective after the deaths of three other life tenants.
4. Testator died on June 13, 1939, a resident of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, having executed his last will and testament on May 23, 1939, less than thirty days before his death. By Pennsylvania statute, 20 P.S. § 195, charitable bequests


contained in the will of a testator executed less than thirty days before death are void and go to the residuary legatees, heirs or next of kin, according to law.
5. The will specifically revoked all prior wills and was duly admitted to probate in the office of the Register of Wills of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. It appointed plaintiffs executors thereof and trustees of testator's residuary estate.
6. Under the terms of the will testator provided for certain specific bequests and devised the remainder in trust with directions to the trustees to pay out of the income of the estate $100 per month to his brother, Siegfried Selig, during the life of Bella Loeb Selig, testator's widow, and to pay the balance of the income to Bella Loeb Selig forincome of his estate was inadequate to the extent of approximately $7,500 a year to keep and maintain Bella Loeb Selig in the manner in which she had been accustomed to live at and prior to testator's death. When testator provided for invasion of the corpus of his estate he knew the amount of income earned by the estate and the amount required to maintain his widow in the manner she had been accustomed to live.
9. The will further provided that upon the death of Bella Loeb Selig $5,000 was to go to each of two named charities and the remainder was to be divided into two equal shares or parts. One of the parts was devised to certain next of kin of the testator. The other part


was divided into six equal sub-parts, four of which were devised to relatives of testator's wife. The other two sub-parts were to be retained in the residuary estate during the lives of three designated life tenants, during which time the income from said sub-parts was to be paid to the life tenants and, at their deaths, the principal of said sub-parts was directed to be paid over and devised to certain designated charitable organizations.
10. At the time the testator died he was survived by his widow as well as the three other life tenants mentioned in his will, all of whom are presently living. Testator was also survived by all but one of the residuary legatees.
11. Under the terms of the will, the right of the private residuarylegatees (as distinguished from the charitable legatees) to take was contingent upon their surviving the testator's widow. If a private residuary legatee predeceased the widow, his child or children surviving would receive his share. If both the private residuary legatee and his child or children predeceased the widow, leaving issue surviving, the surviving issue took pro rata the share that his or their deceased parent would have taken if living.
12. At the present time there are eighteen children of the residuary legatees. Four of them are minors. There are at the present time approximately nineteen grandchildren of the residuary legatees. Fifteen of them are minors. There are at the present time nine of the testator's next of kin, one of whom is a minor.
13. Testator's estate was called


for audit in the Orphans' Court of Philadelphia County on April 1, 1940. The audit was confirmed by order dated April 5, 1940, the pertinent portion of which provided as follows:
"By the terms of said will, testator gave the residue of his estate to the accountants, in trust, to pay out of the net income derived therefrom $100.00 monthly to his brother, Siegfried Selig, for the life of his wife, Bella Loeb Selig, free of tax, and the remainder of the net income derived from his residuary estate (Including the income given to his brother, Siegfried Selig, upon his death should he predecease testator's wife) in equal quarterly or half-yearly payments to his said wife, for life; with the provision that in the event that the income shallamong the papers relating to testator's estate in the Orphans' Court of Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, but the instrument bears no file mark of the Orphans' Court and no reference thereto is contained in the official records of that Court. Neither the instrument dated December 16, 1940, or the instrument dated August 2, 1943, was in existence when the adjudication of the Orphans' Court was made on April 5, 1940, and formed no part of the adjudication.
19. On February 12, 1945, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue notified plaintiffs by registered mail that their claim for refund was rejected in its entirety, assigning as grounds therefor the following:
"An examination of the record discloses the fact that the decedent was a resident of Pennsylvania and that his will was executed less

One person died and another was slightly hurt after an explosion outside a metro station in a Stockholm suburb, police said.

A man in his 60s died in hospital from his injuries after, according to witnesses, “he picked up an object off the ground which promptly exploded,” Sven-Erik Olsson, a police spokesman, told AFP.

A 45-year-old woman suffered facial injuries, police said.

The blast occurred on Sunday morning at Varby Gard station in Huddinge, south of the Swedish capital.

Police cordoned off the station and the square where the explosion happened as the bomb squad moved in to investigate.

Every year the restaurant gives away millions of prizes, ranging from apple pies to carshouses. Generally the prices of the two move in sync, and that is what we are seeing in Sydney.

In the September quarter the average price of apartments fell by 1.4% - the biggest quarterly fall for six years – while established house prices fell 1.3%. It means that both elements of the Sydney housing market are mostly moving together – with the annual growth of both being down on where it was six months ago:

But this is not the case in Melbourne and Brisbane – the two cities which have caused the most concern for the Reserve Banks about the over-supply of apartments. Since 2015, while the price growth of established houses in Melbourne has generally increased from 5.8% to the current 15.5%, that of attached dwellings has


mostly stayed around the 3.5%-4.5% range:

In Brisbane, where the price of established houses has been growing steadily at a touch over 4% for the past two years, the price of attached dwellings has actually been falling for 12 months:

One would suspect that would make those markets more susceptible to a harder fall – especially when you consider that since the Reserve Bank began cutting interest rates in November 2011, the price growth of established houses in Melbourne has far outstripped that of apartments – 60% compared to 22%:

One of the beneficiaries of the lower growth of apartment prices has been first-home buyers.

Research by the Reserve Bank released last week found that measuring housing affordability for first-home buyers was complex as most first-home buyers “buy homes that are cheapercompeting professional obligations", to take place in Washington, if that is her preference.

In a statement filed to the court aimed to avoid submitting a deposition in the case, Trump said she played no part in designing the shoe.

Aquazzura believes Ivanka's company knowingly stole their "Wild Thing" shoe design and sold the knockoff for a cheaper price in Ivanka's fashion collection.

Ivanka Trump who employs a number of factories in China for making shoes for her line has already been involved in a scandal related to her business. Its lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.

Trump stopped selling another shoe model similar to an Aquazzura design after the Italian company complained, according to the lawsuit.

In a court order issued on Friday, New York District Judge Katherine Forrest rejected Trump's assertion that she should


be exempted from having to appear at a deposition in the case, because of the demands on her time as a senior White House official. The judge said the deposition should occur by the end of October on a mutually acceptable schedule. "That is the stuff of which factual disputes in litigation are made". At the same time, lawyers Ivanka trump referred to the limited time and employment, given her role in the White House.

Friday morning 07.30 in South East Melbourne and all is quiet. Kookaburra birds chirp in the trees while trams glide effortlessly from station to station. A peaceful city suburb stirs. CRACK. The quiet is shattered. An awful din roars into life. V10 engine technology from a bygone era splits the air, its caterwaul bark destroying the calm.

A dinosaur has been let loose in some Jurassic city-centre theme park.

In an unbelievably ignorant and insensitive move the Australian Grand Prix organisers have - in their infinite wisdom – employed scruffy and 'local' ex-F1 boss Paul Stoddart to thrash his cut-and-shut two-seater 'F1' cars around the Albert Park race track at such an ungodly hour.

And I can relate."I want more," Younger Oliver sings to Younger Katya in his low voice. He lowers his naked body over hers. "More... gimme more... gimme more."Then Older Oliver is walking down the stairs, hunger — nothing but complete and utter hunger — in his expression as he looks at Older Me."I want more," he says, coming up to the stool. He lifts both of my legs, placing my ankles on his shoulders. He grips my white schoolgirl blouse and rips it open. Buttons fly off as he exposes me with a small grunt that sounds like lust.Enduring Confrontation:

“Enduring Confrontation” (EC) is a game mode featuring air battles lasting several hours in which victory depends on the completion of various dynamically changing tasks and missions unique to each class of aircraft. Players can join an ongoing EC match at any point except for the last five minutes of battle. If a player leaves a running EC match, it’s also possible for him to join back at a later point in time - if there is an available slot in the team.

Any aircraft repairs in this mode are completely free, but every flyout is paid for with Silver Lions. Having just joined the session, the player has to start with weaker aircraft, gaining access to more powerful and dangerous machines only after some time in battle,


which can be reduced by destroying enemy ground targets such as bases and airfields as well as shooting down enemy player aircraft.

Main objectives include the reconnaissance of enemy airfields, search and destroy missions, the interception of enemy aircraft and many others, which will be added as the development of the game mode progresses. Whenever a mission or task in an ongoing EC match has been completed, the game generates another procedural mission.

Through active participation in battle, players earn ‘Air Domination Points’ (ADP) for their team which, combined, represent the team’s total ADP score. At the end of the session, the team with the greater ADP score wins the match.

When flying out an aircraft, the aircraft’s class (e.g. Attacker) at that Battle Rating will not be immediately available againto the player. Thus, for the next flyout, the player has to either change the class or BR of the aircraft he wants to fly.

Features of Enduring Confrontation:

Rewards earned in battle are awarded to the player immediately after leaving an EC session, regardless of the outcome of battle. After the EC session is finished, participants receive a certain bonus to these rewards.

After a player has chosen a certain aircraft, it will be locked for some time starting from the moment the aircraft has been destroyed. E.g. if the vehicle is available once per 30 minutes, a player can chose it 30 minutes after his vehicle was destroyed, not after he started to fly it.

The above also implies that a player who managed to land on an allied airfield

The age trends are striking. In 1970, 20 million Americans were 65 years of age or over. By 1980, this number had increased almost 28 percent to 25.5 million, and the number of persons in the national population had risen about 12 percent. During the period that the number of persons 65 years of age or over increased by 28 percent (1970-1980), Medicare enrollees 85 years of age or over increased more than 60 percent, from 1.5 million to slightly more than 2.4 million. Also, the number of Medicare enrollees 85 years of age or over increased faster than the number for any other age group, including the age group 30-34 years. The latter group, which in 1980 represented the cohort born at the peak of the postwarto produce a data base that would overcome the limitations mentioned earlier. Its target population was the functionally impaired aged living in the community; its sampling frame was a national list of Medicare enrollees.

The 1982 LTC Survey was conducted by the U.S. Bureau of the Census, under the cosponsorship of the Health Care Financing Administration and the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, between June and October of that year. Because there was no existing sample frame that readily identified the functionally impaired aged living in the community, a sample of persons drawn from the Medicare enrollment files was screened by telephone to determine whether any had problems performing any of a set of activities of daily living (ADL\'s) or of instrumental activities of daily


the groups of interest was achieved by stratifying the sample according to characteristics such as census geographic region, age, race, and original reason for Medicare entitlement. The resulting screening sample consisted of about 36,000 persons.

This large screening sample was chosen initially because 6,000 detailed interviews were desired and the exact rate at which persons would qualify for the detailed interview was unknown. This was primarily because the LTC definition of impairment was not identical to that used in previous surveys.

Methods and procedures
======================

Each person in the screening sample was contacted by telephone to determine whether he or she had problems or expected to have problems performing any of a set of activities known as the activities of daily living (ADL\'s) or any of another set of activities known asthe instrumental activities of daily living (IADL\'s) for a period of at least 3 months. Persons who had long-term problems performing the ADL\'s or IADL\'s were scheduled for the second phase of the LTC Survey. Persons without problems were not contacted again. Persons found to be in institutions in either phase of the 1982 Survey were not contacted again.

Approximately 6,400 of the 36,000 persons originally screened were determined to have long-term problems with at least one of the ADL\'s or the IADL\'s and were interviewed by a personal visit in the second phase of the Survey. There were two data gathering instruments for the second phase: a control card requiring information on housing characteristics, on household composition, on the children of the sample person not living in the


as a percent of the Medicare enrollment in the particular demographic category.

During the 1982 Survey, it was determined that there were about 5 million functionally impaired Medicare enrollees living in the community, about 19 percent of the total Medicare enrollment. This proportion is similar to that found by [@b8-hcfr-7-4-33]. Nagi found that 17 percent of aged persons needed assistance in independent living or personal care. This small difference may reflect either the different years in which the two studies were conducted or sampling variation. Nagi\'s study focused on persons 18 years of age or over, and a detailed analysis of the characteristics of the aged was not carried out.

The criterion used during the 1982 Survey to define the existence of a functional limitation appears to account for thewas living with a son or daughter. This occurred more frequently as age increased, from 9 percent for persons 65-69 to 34 percent for those 85 years of age or over.

The majority of black persons and white persons lived either by themselves or with a spouse. Black persons, however, seemed to draw on a more extended range of relationships in their living arrangement than white persons did. About two-thirds of the white persons lived alone or with a spouse only compared with only about one-half of the black persons.

Nearly 71 percent of males lived with a spouse, but only about 27 percent of females lived with a spouse. The more common living arrangement for females was living alone (40 percent). Living with children was more common among females


placement. It still needs to be recognized, however, that the joint progression of functional and cognitive impairments may reach the point where the community retention of the aged person can be achieved only at great financial, social, and physical costs. At the appropriate time, placement in a nursing home may be the most viable option.

To obtain further insights into the incidence and the progression of functional impairments among the aged, the 1984 LTC Survey followed up on the 1982 sample and incorporated persons who became 65 years of age in the interim and were found to be functionally impaired. This survey was designed with both a cross-sectional and a longitudinal component. The cross-sectional component included a sample of all functionally disabled persons 65 years of age or oversimilar to those by age of the total population. Tables showing age-sex and age-race are available on request from the author.

Trainer Abel Sanchez is very confident that his star pupil, WBA/IBO/WBC/IBF middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (36-0, 33KOs), is capable of beating the top three fighters who currently compete at light heavyweight.

Ward had attempted to chase down a fight with Golovkin last year and he says the possibility of that match was rejected for 2015 and 2016. He claims Golovkin's handlers were not interested in the fight until 2017. Ward has since moved up to 175-pounds.

Sanchez has advised Ward to forget about Golovkin and to himself focused on his upcoming fight on November 19th, against IBF/WBA/WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev.

"When he wanted to fight Golovkin we had already signed to fight Lemieux so there was no way the fight was going to happen. Since he'smoved up to 175, he's made a lot of comments that there was no way that he could make 168 anyway. What would have been the sense of waiting around for Andre to fight us? The point is to stay busy, the point is to keep Golovkin in front of the public and not waiting in line like Andre has for the last three or four years," Sanchez told Behindthegloves.com.

"Now he's a got a difficult fight on November 19th, he shouldn't even be thinking Golovkin. He should be thinking Sergey Kovalev, because Kovalev will beat him on the 19th and then he's going to have a lot of soul searching."

As far as Golovkin's chances against Ward, Kovalev and WBC champion Adonis Stevenson - Sanchez believes he can beat

In total, the scheme would cost £515million and result in an estimated 40 per cent reduction in vehicular nitrogen oxide emissions in London.

While the scheme is currently proposed for London alone, Khan said that it could eventually be introduced countrywide.

At the same time, he is also proposing that car tax system be redesigned to remove any incentives to buy a diesel car.

"The toxic state of our air leaves us with no choice but to rid our city of the most polluting diesel vehicles," he is reported to have said.

"It is shocking that nearly half of new car sales in the UK are still diesel vehicles and the national system of vehicle excise duty still incentivises motorists to buy these polluting cars.

Kerry County Council earlier on Monday voted to nominate him, with four nominations needed for a place on the ballot paper on October 26th. He was proposed in Co Kerry by Fianna Fáil.

After the meeting in Kerry, Mr Casey said he was confident of getting other councils to support him to allow him go forward. He also said he was not running to lose and was prepared to spend up to the cap of €750,000.

“I didn’t stand to lose. I believe I have a very good platform ,” Mr Casey said.

There were three nominees in Co Kerry. Journalist Gemma O’Doherty was proposed and


seconded by Sinn Féin; William Delaney was proposed by an Independent and seconded by Sinn Féin.

In Kilkenny County Council, a motion to nominate Ms O’Doherty was defeated on Monday.

She was proposed by Cllr Breda Gardner (Independent) and her motion was seconded by Cllr David Kennedy (Sinn Féin). Cllr Seán Tyrrell (Sinn Féin), Cllr Melissa O Neill (Ind) and Cllr Tomás Breathnach (Labour) all supported the motion. Eleven members abstained from the vote while seven members voted against the motion. Cllr Gardner told members that she believed that Ms O Doherty “deserves to be on the ballot paper”.

Other councils have already nominated three candidates to stand in the election: businessmen Seán Gallagher and Gavin Duffy and Senator Joan Freeman.

Sinn Féin MEP Liadh Ní Riada will also be nominated followingher selection at a party meeting on Sunday.

This means at least four candidates will compete against the incumbent, President Michael D Higgins, who holds a commanding lead in the polls.

Candidates can be nominated by 20 Oireachtas members or four county councils. There are still 19 councils who have yet to nominate anyone.

Earlier artist Kevin Sharkey, who dropped out of the presidential race last night, denied his campaign was a promotional tool for his painting career.

Announcing his withdrawal, Mr Sharkey called the process of trying to secure support from four county councils a “circus” and a “farce”. His statement also provided details of an exhibition showcasing his paintings entitled, The Presidential Collection 2018, as well as a music single he intends to release.

met on Monday to decide on whether to nominate further candidates for the presidency.

The majority of councillors on Louth County Council on Monday voted not to nominate someone for the election.

However, given the vote was not unanimous, next Monday was earmarked for the required special meeting of the council in case any of the councillors wished to nominate someone before the deadline of September 26th.

A number of councillors congratulated Mr Duffy, from Drogheda, on securing a nomination.

Alan Sherry, senior executive officer with the council advised members they still had time if they wished to nominate somebody and reminded them that three clear days’ written notice was needed for the required special meeting and next Monday was suggested for it.

Initially Cllr Thomas Byrne, said he wanted to nominate Mrand “an honorable man” who “has always tried to help the weak.” Sotloff grew up in the Miami area, and graduated from Kimball Union Academy, a prep school in New Hampshire. As a student at Kimball, Sotloff “developed a passion for reporting and writing, a gift that he shared with people around the world, and this unthinkable act of terror has taken him from us far too soon,” New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan said in a statement. Sotloff then attended the University of Central Florida, which said he majored in journalism from 2002 to 2004 but apparently left without graduating. Just how Sotloff made his way from Florida to Middle East hotspots is not clear. He published articles from Syria, Egypt and Libya in a variety of publications.


Jonas Valanciunas, but he could also occasionally slide over to the 5 due to his size and play there. This one really is a great mesh of fit and of skill level, and Ellenson could make an early impact on a really good team.

10. Milwaukee Bucks

Jakob Poeltl, PF, Utah: Poeltl works here due to his athleticism and mobility. The 7-foot Austrian represents the last player in a tier before a bit of a drop-off to the next level, as his ability to play in the post, defend both inside and out, pass the ball, and rebound should play well and make him an NBA starter in the future.

11. Orlando Magic

Deyonta Davis, PF, Michigan State: The Magic hired Frank Vogel, a coach who prioritizes defensive ability. Davis has athey picked up Gary Harris and Jusuf Nurkic for the pick that the Bulls used to take Doug McDermott. The Jazz are a team in need of a point guard, and given that there are three available all in the same tier, they can afford to move back, pick up an extra top-20 pick in the process, and still likely get their guy. With this pick, the Nuggets move up for Denzel Valentine, a terrific talent in the backcourt who would continue to help fill their hole on the wing and also help them space the floor a bit better next to Emmanuel Mudiay.

13. Phoenix Suns

Domantas Sabonis, PF, Gonzaga: Further depth at the 4 for the Suns, who go with a best player available approach here in the


a playmaking wing here next after snatching up Baldwin earlier. He fits well in a variety of lineups for Utah, and could represent a hopeful replacement in the event that Gordon Hayward leaves after next offseason. Bembry has been a riser throughout the process, and as a junior could possibly even help the team this season.

20. Indiana Pacers

Brice Johnson, PF, North Carolina: The Pacers tend to like college kids that have been extremely productive, and it's hard to get more productive than Johnson this season. The kid was only a first team All-American who averaged 17 and 10 while tossing up a 64.9 true-shooting percentage and leading his team to a national championship game berth. He's a bouncy athlete who would fit the hole in Indiana's front courtwell next to Myles Turner.

21. Atlanta Hawks

Malik Beasley, SG, Florida State: Beasley goes home to Georgia in this mock draft, as the Hawks select the best player remaining on the board to help out a backcourt that could lose one of Jeff Teague or Dennis Schroder this offseason as well as Kent Bazemore and Kirk Hinrich. Beasley can score at all three levels, shoots it well from distance, and is a better athlete than he gets credit for.

22. Charlotte Hornets

Taurean Prince, SF, Baylor: This is the same selection as last time, as the board falls in a way here that makes selecting a nice replacement for Marvin Williams a solid investment. Prince was one of the better scorers in college basketball in each of the last two seasons,
