The session, instead of lasting the usual 2 hours, lasted 9 [2].

Symbolically, Bolivia declared Israel a "terrorist state" and repealed the agreement on free movement of which it was the object. But in general, statements of protest are not followed by military aid, with the exception of those of Iran and symbolically, Syria. Both support the Palestinian population through Islamic Jihad, the military wing of Hamas (but not its political wing, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood) and the PFLP-GC.

Unlike during precedents (operations "Cast Lead" in 2008 and "Column of Cloud" in 2012), the two states that protect Israel at the Council (the United States and the United Kingdom) have facilitated the development of a statement by the President of the Security Council highlighting Israel’s [3] humanitarian obligations."Millennium"). To do this, according to his interpretation of the Bible, the Jews were to be scattered to the ends of the earth, then regrouped into Palestine to rebuild the temple of Solomon. On this basis, he established a Puritan regime, lifted the 1656 ban against Jews settling in England and announced that his country was committed to create the State of Israel in Palestine [4].

The Cromwell sect was in turn overthrown at the end of the "First English Civil War," his supporters killed or exiled and the Anglican monarchy was restored. Zionism (that is to say, the proposed creation of a state for the Jews) was abandoned. It reappears in the eighteenth century with the "Second English Civil War" (according to UK school history textbooks), which the


rest of the world knows as the "War of Independence of the United States" (1775 - 83). Contrary to popular belief, it was not undertaken on behalf of the Enlightenment ideal that animated a few years later the French Revolution, but funded by the King of France and conducted on religious grounds shouting "Our King is Jesus!".

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, to name a few, presented themselves as the successors of the exiled supporters of Oliver Cromwell. The United States logically resumed the Zionist project.

In 1868, in England, Queen Victoria appointed Jewish Benjamin Disraeli as Prime Minister,. He proposed to grant a share of democracy to the descendants of Cromwell supporters to be able to rely on all the people to extend the power of theCrown in the world. Above all, he proposed an alliance with the Jewish Diaspora to lead an imperialist policy of which it would be the avant-garde. In 1878, he put "the restoration of Israel" on the agenda of the Congress of Berlin in the new redivision of the world.

It is on this basis that the Zionist UK restored good relations with its former colonies become the United States at the end of the "Third English Civil War", which is, in the United States, known as the "American Civil War" and in continental Europe as the "Civil War" (1861-1865) - which saw the victory of the successors of supporters of Cromwell, the WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Puritans) [5]. Again, it is quite wrong to present the conflict as a struggle


against slavery while five northern states still practiced it.

Until nearly the end of the nineteenth century, Zionism is therefore exclusively a puritan Anglo-Saxon project to which only a Jewish elite adheres. It is strongly condemned by the rabbis who interpret the Torah as an allegory and not as a political plan.

Among the current consequences of these historical facts, we must admit that if Zionism aims at the creation of a state for the Jews, it is also the foundation of the United States. Therefore, the question of whether policy decisions are all made in Washington or Tel Aviv has only relative interest. It is the same ideology that is in power in both countries. Furthermore, Zionism having enabled the reconciliation between London and Washington, the challenge is totackle this alliance, the most powerful one in the world.

Adherence of the Jewish People to Anglo-Saxon Zionism

In today’s official history, it is customary to ignore the seventeenth-nineteenth century period and present Theodor Herzl as the founder of Zionism. However, according to internal publications of the World Zionist Organization, this is also false.

The true founder of modern Zionism was not Jewish, but a Christian dispentionnaliste. Reverend William E. Blackstone was a U.S. preacher for whom true Christians would not have to participate in trials at the end of time. He taught that the latter would be taken to heaven during the final battle (the "rapture of the Church", in English "the rapture"). In his view, the Jews would fight this battle and come out at the same time converted


to Christ and victorious.

It is the theology of Reverend Blackstone which served as the basis for Washington’s unwavering support for the creation of Israel. And this long before AIPAC (the pro-Israel lobby) was created and took control of Congress. In reality, the power of the lobby derives not so much from its money and its ability to finance election campaigns as from this ideology still present in the USA [6].

The theology of rapture, stupid as it may seem today, is very powerful in the United States. It represents a phenomenon in libraries and the cinema (see the movie Left Behind, with Nicolas Cage, to be released in October).

Theodor Herzl was an admirer of diamond magnate Cecil Rhodes, British imperialism theorist and founder of South Africa, Rhodesia (to whichhe gave his name) and Zambia (formerly Northern Rhodesia). Herzl was not a religious Jew and had not circumcised his son. Atheist like many European bourgeois of his time, he advocated first to assimilate the Jews by converting them to Christianity. However, taking up the theory of Benjamin Disraeli, he came to the conclusion that the best solution was to engage them in British colonialism by creating a Jewish state in present day Uganda or Argentina. He followed the example of Rhodes in buying land and building the Jewish Agency.

Blackstone managed to convince Herzl to join the concerns of dispentionnalistes to those of colonialists. For this it sufficed to consider establishing Israel in Palestine and multiplying biblical references. Thanks to this simple idea, they recruited the majority of


European Jews to their project. Today Herzl is buried in Israel (on Mount Herzl) and in his coffin the State has placed the annotated Bible that Blackstone had given him.

Zionism has thus never had the goal of "saving the Jewish people by giving them a home," but the triumph of Anglo-Saxon imperialism by associating them with it. Furthermore, not only is Zionism not a product of Jewish culture, but the majority of Zionists has never been Jews, while the majority of Jewish Zionists are not religious Jews. Biblical references ubiquitous in Israeli public discourse, reflect only the thought of the believing part of the country and are primarily intended to convince the U.S. population.

The Anglo-Saxon pact for the creation of Israel in Palestine

The decision to create a Jewishstate in Palestine was taken jointly by the British and U.S. governments. It was negotiated by the first Jewish Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Louis Brandeis, under the auspices of Reverend Blackstone and was approved both by President Woodrow Wilson and Prime Minister David Lloyd George, in the wake of the Anglo-French Sykes-Picot Accord dividing up the "Middle East". This agreement was gradually released to the public.

The future Secretary of State for the Colonies, Leo Amery, was tasked with managing the elders of the "Zion Mule Corps" to create, with two British agents Chaim Weizmann and Ze’ev Jabotinsky, the "Jewish Legion" within the British army.

The Foreign Minister, Lord Balfour, sent an open letter to Lord Walter Rothschild to commit to creating a "Jewish national


home" in Palestine (November 2, 1917). President Wilson included among his official war goals (No.12 of the 14 points presented to Congress 8 January 1918) the creation of Israel [7].

Therefore, the decision to create Israel has nothing to do with the destruction of the European Jews which came two decades later, during the Second World War.

During the Paris Peace Conference, Emir Faisal (son of the Sharif of Mecca and later King of British Iraq) signed, on January 3, 1919, an agreement with the Zionist Organization, pledging the continued support for the Anglo Saxon decision.

The creation of the State of Israel, which was made against the people of Palestine, was therefore also made with the agreement of the Arab monarchs. In addition, at the time, the Sharif of Mecca,Hussein bin Ali, did not interpret the Koran as Hamas did. He did not think that "Muslim land cannot be ruled by non-Muslims."

The legal establishment of the State of Israel

In May 1942, the Zionist organizations held their conference at the Biltmore Hotel in New York. The participants decided to transform the "Jewish national home" in Palestine into a "Jewish Commonwealth" (referring to Commonwealth by which Cromwell briefly replaced the British monarchy) and allow mass immigration of Jews to Palestine. In a secret document, three objectives were specified:

The Jewish state would embrace the whole of Palestine and probably Transjordan; the displacement of Arabs in Iraq and the taking in hand by Jews of sectors of development and control of the economy throughout the Middle East.

Almost all participants were unaware


that the "final solution of the Jewish question" (die Endlösung der Judenfrage) had just begun secretly in Europe.

Ultimately, while the British did not know how to satisfy both Jews and Arabs, the United Nations (which then had only 46 Member States) proposed a plan to partition Palestine based on the indications that the British had provided. A binational state would be created including a Jewish state, an Arab state and an area "under special international regime" to administer the holy places (Jerusalem and Bethlehem). This project was adopted by Resolution 181 of the General Assembly. [8]

Without waiting for the result of negotiations, the president of the Jewish Agency, David Ben Gurion unilaterally proclaimed the State of Israel immediately recognized by the United States. Arabs in Israeli territory wereplaced under martial law, their movements were restricted, their passports confiscated. Newly independent Arab countries intervened. But without having constituted armies, they were quickly defeated. During the war, Israel proceeded to ethnic cleansing and forced at least 700,000 Arabs to flee.

The UN sent a mediator, Count Folke Bernadotte, a Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Jews during the war. He found that the demographic data provided by the UK authorities were false and demanded the full implementation of the Partition Plan for Palestine. However, Resolution 181 requires the return of 700 000 expelled Arabs, the creation of an Arab state and the internationalization of Jerusalem.

The UN special envoy was murdered, 17 September 1948, on the orders of the future Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir.

Furious, the General Assembly of the


United Nations adopted Resolution 194, which reaffirms the principles of Resolution 181 and, moreover, proclaims the inalienable right of the Palestinians to return to their homes and be compensated for the harm they have just undergone [9].

However, Israel, having arrested Bernadotte’s killers, tried and convicted them, was accepted into the UN on the promise to honor the resolutions. But it was all lies. Immediately thereafter, the killers were pardoned and the shooter became the personal bodyguard of Prime Minister David Ben Gurion.

Since its accession to the UN, Israel has continued to violate the resolutions that have accumulated in the General Assembly and the Security Council. Its organic links with two Board members with the right to veto place it outside of international law. It became an offshore Stateof the United States and the United Kingdom allowing them to feign respect for international law while violating it from this pseudo-state themselves.

It is absolutely wrong to think that the problem posed by Israel concerns only the Middle East. Today, Israel takes militarily action anywhere in the world poviding a cover for Anglo-Saxon imperialism. In Latin America, Israeli agents organized repression during the coup against Hugo Chavez (2002) or the overthrow of Manuel Zelaya (2009). In Africa, they were everywhere present during the war of the Great Lakes and organized the arrest of Muammar el-Qaddafi. In Asia, they led the assault and killing of Tamil Tigers (2009), etc.. Each time, London and Washington swear they are not involved. In addition, Israel controls many media and financial institutions (such


as the US Federal Reserve).

The struggle against imperialism

Until the dissolution of the USSR, it was obvious to all that the Israeli issue sprung from the struggle against imperialism. Palestinians were supported by all the anti-imperialist world – up to the members of the Japanese Red Army, who came to fight alongside them.

Today, the globalization of the consumer society and the loss of values that ensued fostered a loss of consciousness of the colonial character of the Jewish state. Only Arabs and Muslims feel concerned. They show empathy for the plight of Palestinians, but ignore Israeli crimes in the world and do not respond to other imperialist crimes.

However, in 1979, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini explained to his Iranian faithful that Israel was a puppet in the hands of the imperialistsand the only real enemy was the alliance of the United States and the United Kingdom. For stating this simple truth, Khomeini was caricatured in the West and Shiites presented as heretics in the East. Today Iran is the only country in the world to send massive amounts of weapons and advisers to help the Palestinian resistance, while the Zionist Arab regimes amiably debate via video conferences with the Israeli President during meetings of the Gulf Security Council [10].


armed academic black shirts were unleashed on students in Montpellier under the watchful and protective eye of the French police (who assured the fascist band, which included professors, safe escort out of the building). The bloody footage and the complicity between the administration, the security staff, right-wing students and the police led to an increase in mobilization. Meanwhile, the inquiry opened by the state has not led to the prosecution of some of the professors identified by students, and the police have been recorded harassing witnesses to encourage false testimony.

According to an interactive map published by Libération, there are now 25 cities in France where there have been university occupations, general assemblies and/or protests. Beginning in the Southwest with Toulouse, Bordeaux and Poitiers, the movement spread to Nantes,Lille, Paris, Montpellier, Grenoble and beyond. Far from simply blocking a significant percentage of France’s 73 universities, the movement has insisted on opening them, meaning seizing the means of intellectual production to hold public seminars, debates, film projections and general assemblies with thousands of people, some of which have had to move outside in order to accommodate the large crowds. In taking universities away from their neoliberal administrators, students have organized critical discussions of the Macron government, capitalism, fascism and the military assault on the “ZAD” (see below), as well as alternative courses on political strategy, struggles in the banlieues, revolutionary history and grassroots organizing. Although the violent incursions of the riot police and their fascist allies persist, forcing the students to regroup and sometimes change locations, the


publicly listed company in what is seen as the first step toward privatization. Participation in the strikes has been very high among train conductors (75%) and controllers (71%), and the Macron government has been constantly shifting and changing its ‘reform’ project, creating obscurity and dissension in the Parliament. In 1995, the former Prime Minister Alain Juppé was forced to abandon his project of changing rail staff’s benefits due to strikes that paralyzed France for weeks.

Striking rail workers have been collaborating with students, and their actions have been accompanied by other strikes in the public and private sectors, including garbage collectors demanding a national public service for trash collection, Air France pilots, and electrical and gas workers. There are numerous calls for coordinated actions in the near future, andsociety. If the elected representatives of France are bent on a top-down war against the autonomy of the ZAD, many are asking, is it not time for a bottom-up insurrection and a ZADification of France to clear out those who seek to govern the people by eliminating governing people?

Every historical conjuncture has its own specificity, and there are, of course, plenty of important differences between France in 2018 and in 1968. With students and workers rising up across the country, however, there is a combined and growing struggle against the relentless privatization of the world, and this raises urgent questions for the future, as well as for the past that it will have remade. The events that are currently unfolding could lead to a politics of placation in


On the other end of the spectrum, only one artist got a negative overall score. About a third of British Columbians (34%) say they like Justin Bieber, but more than half (58%) say they dislike him, earning the artist a momentum score of -24.

Elizabeth Brooks discusses her role in the UNC Food Workers Strike of 1969. Originally from
Caswell County, North Carolina, Brooks had lived in Hillsborough since 1949. Prior to working
for food services at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Brooks spent her time
raising nine children. The job at UNC was her first, and she had only recently started to work
in Lenoir Dining Hall when the first stage of the strike began in February of 1969. Although
she was a new employee, Brooks was one of the leaders of the strike. Here Brooks focuses on the
workers' grievances regarding the unexpected firing of employees, low wages, unrealistic
demands on workers' time, and withheld back pay. After failed negotiations with the
administration, Brooks and some ofthe other workers organized the strike with the help of
Preston Dobbins and the Black Student Movement at UNC. Within a month, the initial demands of
the strikers had been met, but Brooks's interview ends by looking towards the beginning of the
second strike that occurred after SAGA took over food services for the university.

Short Abstract

Elizabeth Brooks was one of the leaders of the UNC Food Workers Strike of 1969. As a new
worker in the Lenoir Dining Hall, Brooks helped to organize the food workers with the help of
Preston Dobbins and the Black Student Movement. This interview focuses on the first strike,
which was sparked by the unexpected firing of one worker, low wages, and withheld back pay for
overtime.

Miss Brooks, I know that you were one of the leaders in the first


by him. So he came in there and he yelled out, "Mary Smith!" He
didn't come up to the table, he came only so far: "Mary Smith! I want to speak to you!" And
so, I told him, "You can't speak to Mary Smith, you have to speak to the group." He said,
"Mary," he called again, and so she told him, "Mr. Prillaman, we're a group now and so you'll
have to talk to all of us." And so he turned around and he went back to the office and he
called Branch from Raleigh. And it took Branch a while to get there, and in the meantime the
students were talking, newspaper reporters were talking with us, and photographers were
snapping pictures, and we were just pointing out everything that had been keptMary Smith because at one time, another Mary Smith had been
kind of close in some way with the Senator. So he really stayed in close touch with her. And
she, I think, told him some things that he may could persuade, talking to the Governor, so I.
. . that's the way he helped.

BEVERLY JONES:

How about Dr. Alend Lind?

ELIZABETH BROOKS:

Dr. Lind was very active. He spoke for us at a lot of rallies. He also helped a lot of
rallies themselves. And this way.

BEVERLY JONES:

Was Ralph Abernathy ever a part of the strike? Did he ever come into the campus?

ELIZABETH BROOKS:

Yes. He came to campus once. Went over and spoke to the Chancellor. And begged him, as he
put it, "I beg you to do somthing about this, and I hope I


you?

ELIZABETH BROOKS:

Yes. At one time, I was offered, I think, $4.00 an hour to talk with the group and make
sure that no one thought about striking.

BEVERLY JONES:

Who offered this to you.

ELIZABETH BROOKS:

This was not the University officials. This was SAGA, the food company. This was in. . .

[Interruption.]

No one offered to buy me off, no one offered anything. Prillaman didn't think that he
had to. He just felt like everybody was afraid of him, and the only thing he had to do was
speak. That is almost the way he had it then.

BEVERLY JONES:

Did you foresee another strike, after the first strike was over?

ELIZABETH BROOKS:

Well, after the first strike was over, I didn't. I thought things were just going to work
out dandy, and soon after SAGA food company came in,infirmities are apparent in the action of the Appellate Division which we here reverse.
Our careful examination of the trial court finding reveals, by contrast, a meticulous consideration of elements relating to the appropriate amount of the award. Judge Kimmelman recited facts amply supporting the willful and wanton character of Claridge's actions. He determined that there was no problem in discerning the rear line of plaintiffs' property, thus emphasizing the enormity of Claridge's misdeed. He found from the evidence before him how unnecessary it was for this trespass and mutilation of the trees to have occurred. He rejected the feeble excuse of the company foreman that he was busy and unable to attend to the detail of the plaintiffs' boundary line because he was in charge of some $70


The latest controversy is over the posthumous baptisms of the parents of famous holocaust victims’ advocate Simon Wiesenthal. The Jewish human rights center named for Mr. Wiesenthal issued a statement that clearly expresses frustration with the LDS Church:

“We are outraged that such insensitive actions continue in the Mormon Temples. Throughout his life, Simon Wiesenthal especially revered his beloved mother who was deported and murdered at Belzec death camp in 1942. Such actions make a mockery of the many meetings with the top leadership of the Mormon Church dating back to 1995 that focused on the unwanted and unwarranted posthumous baptisms of Jewish Victims of the Nazi Holocaust,” said Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and who participated in many of the high-level meetings betweenVoyager of the Seas Cruise Review by Namby: Cruise to the Northern Baltic July 28, 2011

Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's Office.   During the 1992 election for county property appraiser, all three supported the Democratic candidate against Nikolits, who was the Republican candidate and ultimate winner of the race for County Property Appraiser.

After his election, but before taking office, Nikolits notified Parrish, Wetzel and Lucas, as well as five other Appraiser's Office employees, that he planned to fire them because they had not supported him in the elections.   Parrish's attorney sent Nikolits a letter stating that such action would violate Supreme Court cases prohibiting patronage firings of non-political public employees.   Nonetheless, the day he took office, Nikolits fired Parrish, Wetzel and Lucas, as well as the five other employees.

Prior to Nikolits taking office in January, 1993, Rebecca Walkerwas Palm Beach County Appraiser2 from 1982 to 1993.   Although Parrish, Wetzel and Lucas all had been promoted during Walker's tenure, none of the three had been hired by Walker.   Parrish and Lucas had worked for the Appraiser's Office in various capacities since 1976 and 1981, respectively.   Wetzel had worked for either the Appraiser's Office or Palm Beach County since 1970.   All three thus had been employees of the Appraiser's Office or Palm Beach County through the terms of at least two county appraisers prior to Nikolits taking office in 1993.

After Nikolits fired them, Parrish, Wetzel and Lucas sued Nikolits in both his individual and official capacities, alleging that he had violated their First Amendment rights by firing them for

On the individual capacity claim, the district court held that, because the law was not clearly established that persons holding positions similar to those held by Parrish, Wetzel, and Lucas were "policymakers," qualified immunity applied and Nikolits did not violate clearly established law of which a reasonable person would have known in dismissing them for political reasons.   We affirm the order granting summary judgment in favor of Nikolits insofar as he was sued in his individual capacity because the law was not clearly established that dismissing Parrish, Wetzel and Lucas for political reasons violated their First Amendment rights.   But we vacate and remand the summary judgment insofar as Nikolits was sued in his official capacity becauseabstract works, which represent the centerpiece of the complex.

Among the highlights of the park are “The Fountain,” which was originally designed to stand in front of the Norwegian Parliament. This location, however, proved controversial. The sculpture consists of 60 individual bronze reliefs representing the circle of life, with sculptures of children, teenagers, old men, and skeletons.

“The Monolith” is the focal point of the park. It is a 14.12-meter high, highly symbolic sculpture consisting of 121 intertwined human figures, meant to represent the human desire to reach out to the divine. The carving of this monolith took over 14 years and involved work by the artist himself as well as 3 other stone carvers. In addition, 36 sculptural groups reside on the plateau around the monolith.

“The Wheel of Life”


is a sundial positioned at the very end of an 850-meter axis. Thematically, it continues the journey-of-life motive prevalent in the rest of the park. It is represents eternity, with four human figures and a baby locked in a circle, floating in harmony.

Based in California, Lance Manufacturing was a known name in the recreational product market since the 1960s with truck campers. Lance Manufacturing entered into the travel trailers business in 2010. All-weather tough, 16-foot to 28-foot trailers, Lance Manufacturing products are fitted with a full range of amenities with sleeping capacity for up to 7 people. A multiple winner of the DSI (Dealer Satisfaction Index) Award, Lance Manufacturing recreational vehicles is backed by a company with a solid customer service history.her boarding school recently revived to cause mischief in the name of standing up for the school’s founding principles. She also has an inspiring biology teacher, Jonah Kaplan, a former student of the school who, like Robin Williams in Dead Poets Society, is determined to break his students out of the mould. He demands they become extremophiles, bacteria who survived difficult conditions to eventually evolve into more complex life forms. His words spark a fire in Iris, and unlike her hesitant classmates, she immediately declares that she wants to be an extremophile.

The novel’s lack of subtlety is its major problem. For example, in case we miss the similarity, Miller has two of the characters watch Dead Poets Society on video, and one of them comments that it’s a

Subsequently, from 2005 through 2007, PW was involved in planning MIG's bankruptcy, negotiating with the Preferred Holders over a "voting lock-up" agreement, and discussing a potential sale of MIG to a consortium of investors and, later, to CaucusCom. (FAC ¶ 21.)

3. The Merger and Appraisal
On August 27, 2007, CaucusCom Mergerco Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of CaucusCom Ventures, L.P. ("Caucus-Com"), merged with MIG, leaving MIG as the surviving entity. (FAC ¶ 27.) The transaction resulted in CaucusCom becoming the controlling shareholder of MIG and soon taking control of MIG's board of directors. See In re Appraisal of Metromedia Int'l Group, Inc.

On June 29, 2009 the case was reassigned to the Honorable Gerard E. Lynch, then a District Judge on this Court. On July 10, 2009, Plaintiff filed the First Amended Complaint. On August 17, 2009, Defendant filed its motion to dismiss.[4] On October 1, 2009, upon the elevation of Judge Lynch to the Second Circuit, the case was reassigned to my docket. The Court heard argument on the motion on December 22, 2009. On March 3, 2010, the Court held a phone conference and ordered Defendant to submit a supplemental affidavit establishing the domicile of its American partners located abroad. That affidavit was submitted on March 17, 2010.

(Pl.'s Opp. 6.)[9] Although it offers no additional allegations of representations relating to the COD during the three-year period following the share issuance, Plaintiff nevertheless contends that subsequent relations between the parties, specifically the 2004 Memorandum, are evidence of a "mutual understanding of the need for further representation on the specific subject matter underlying the malpractice claim." (Pl.'s Opp. at 7 (internal quotation marks omitted).) Plaintiff also cites PW's 2002 presentation to MIG's board of directors, the 2003 press release concerning the payment of dividends to Preferred Holders, and PW's work on the voting lock-up agreement and sale of MIG in 2005 through 2007 as manifestations of this "mutual understanding."

With regard to Plaintiff's malpractice claim, the Court concludes that it is barred by New York's borrowing statute. With regard to Plaintiff's claims for breach of fiduciary duty and fraud, the Court finds that these too must be dismissed, as New York does not recognize a separate cause of action apart from Plaintiff's untimely malpractice claim.

timely under New York law.[11]
North Carolina's statute of limitations, like New York's, imposes a three-year bar on legal malpractice claims. See N.C. Gen. Stat. § 1-15(c). Unlike New York's, however, North Carolina's statute of limitations contains a built-in tolling period for "damage not readily apparent to the claimant at the time of its origin." Id. In such cases, the "suit must be commenced within one year from the date discovery is made." Id. The statute provides, however, that "in no event shall an action be commenced more than four years from the last act of the defendant giving rise to the cause of action." Id. This latter provision, the statute of repose, creates a condition precedent to the bringing of suit, rather than an affirmative defense:
Unlike a limitationthis month argued in its official proposal that local residents are less likely to visit a local TV station, "instead choosing to contact their local stations through more efficient means such as the telephone, email or social media." At present, the FCC requires a station maintain at least two full-time employees.

As the country's largest owner of local TV stations, Sinclair's acquisition history is littered with employee layoffs. In locations where it owns more than one station, Sinclair has merged local news staffs, even sharing the same anchors. Examples include Columbus, Ohio, and Asheville, N.C.

Sinclair's business model differs markedly from 21st Century Fox Inc. (FOXA) - Get Report or CBS Corp. (CBS) - Get Report , which generally own a single TV station in a given market and operate


its proposed $6.6 billion acquisition of Tribune Media Co. (TRCO) - Get Report , owner of cable network WGN America and 42 large-market TV stations including broadcast affiliates in New York, Los Angeles and Chicago. The vote also follows Pai's successful reinstatement in March of the so-called UHF discount, which allows station owners such as Sinclair to skirt federal regulations that prevent any one company from owning stations that broadcast to more than 39% of U.S. households.

The UHF discount, created in 1985, was eliminated in September when Obama appointee Tom Wheeler headed the commission and argued that the industry-friendly designation was archaic and no longer applied to stations in the digital era. Sinclair announced its deal to acquire Tribune Media in May, just two weeks after the FCCreinstated the rule, which counts UHF stations for just 50% of their coverage area.

Because of the rule change, Sinclair's acquisition of Tribune Media only would result in a station group that covers about 45% of the country rather than 72% without the discount. Sinclair CEO Christopher Ripley has said his company is prepared to sell some stations to get below the 39% cap. Pai, though, also has hinted that he hopes to remove or raise that cap, another change in telecom regulations long sought by Sinclair.

"Ever since Pai was elevated to chairman, he has been looking for ways to allow big broadcasters like Sinclair to consolidate further," said Dana Floberg, a policy analyst at FreePress, a Washington advocacy group that has joined with NewsMax and a consortium of

Diary of a Fangirl: Deception

I'd been looking forward to Deception for quite sometime now. The promos several weeks back, and after this pilot, the show tentatively has my attention.

The show starts out like a Law & Order: SUV ep, with a young woman hurrying to her car because someone is following her, only to look up and see that it's someone she knows. The viewer doesn't get to see this mysterious man, of course, and she invites him in. The next scene is of the woman dead with a beat up face in a flea bag motel.

Enter the dead woman's [Vivian's] former BFF Joanna, a cop who's been out of touch for the last seventeen years. There's something shady about Vivian's family, so much


so that they're under intense FBI investigation. Joanna's former partner (and one week boyfriend) asks her to go undercover and investigate the family. After a few vehement "no's," she agrees.

During the course of this [limited] season, I suspect that Joanna will get in too deep with the people who used to be part of her extended family, and may even find herself in bed with her former lover/Vivian's brother/possible killer.

For now, I'm going along for the ride. The teaser for next week's episode looks to be promising.

Notes: The casting for flashback!Joanna is awful. They didn't even try, and I find the flashbacks distracting because of this. Also, I think that Joanna's hair could be better matched with her hair piece...just saying.Also, Victor Garber--happy to see him on theA tape feeder is known as a unit, which supplies electronic components, of a component mounting device.

Indiana win could give Trump major advantage in hunt for presidency

Republicans voting in Indiana's primary election might give New York billionaire Donald Trump an almost unstoppable advantage in his turbulent journey toward the party's presidential nomination.

The real estate mogul holds a double-digit polling lead in the Midwestern state over his main rival, US Senator Ted Cruz of Texas.

Fresh off a sweep of five northeastern states last week, Trump wants a win in Indiana to put him within reach of the 1237 delegates required to lock up the Republican nomination before the party's convention in July.

"If we win Indiana, it's over," Trump told a cheering crowd in Terre Haute, Indiana, on the eve of the vote on Tuesday (local time).

Cruz has trumpeted Indiana, one of the last big statesin the fight to get on the November 8 presidential ballot, as his golden moment to stop Trump and force a brokered nomination at the convention.

He vowed on Monday to "compete to the end" but a loss in Indiana would be particularly crushing for the senator, who has argued his brand of religious conservatism is a natural draw for heartland Republicans. He won the endorsement of conservative Indiana Governor Mike Pence.

Trump now has 996 delegates, compared with 565 for Cruz and 153 for Ohio Governor John Kasich, according to The Associated Press. Another 57 delegates are up for grabs in Indiana, a state that has voted Republican in nine of the last 10 presidential elections.

"I think we're going to have a great voter turnout and people are tired


of what's happening with these politicians and they're just tired of seeing our country get ripped off," Trump said on Tuesday.

Top Trump aide Corey Lewandowski told CNN the campaign expected to win more than the required number of delegates -- 1300 to 1400.

The outcome in Indiana may ride on the votes of evangelical Christians after Trump offered praise for Planned Parenthood family clinics and signaled support for gay and transgender rights - views that rankled some Christian conservatives.

Cruz had hoped for smooth sailing in Indiana after he and Kasich reached a "stop-Trump" deal in which Kasich would steer clear of the state while Cruz would do likewise in Oregon and New Mexico.

Indiana has the second-largest delegate haul of the 10 states remaining in the 2016 Republican nominating contest,the hemisphere, brainstem, and the spinal cord. In all cases, the hippocampus, particularly in the CA1 field, the parahippocampal gyrus, amygdaloid nucleus, and the temporal poles were most severely affected. In the neocortex, layers II-III were more severely affected by NFTs than layers V-VI. In the spinal cord, a few NFTs were revealed in the intermediate gray. NFTs were dense in all cases of PDC and "PDC plus ALS" and variable in density in ALS cases, although the topography was similar between them. We conclude that similar topographical distribution of NFTs in ALS and PDC in people living in the Kii peninsula of Japan suggests a single tauopathy.


A federal jury in the United States has charged 13 Russian nationals and three Russian companies as part of an investigation into alleged interference in the country's 2016 presidential elections.

The charges by the office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller described a conspiracy to sway public opinion and promote the campaign of Republican Donald Trump, against his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.

"The indictment alleges that the Russian conspirators want to promote discord in the United States and undermine public confidence in democracy," Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein said in a statement to reporters on Friday.

According to the indictment, the accused involved posed as Americans online, posted adverts against presidential Clinton and organised pro-Trump political rallies within the US.

Interference first began in 2014, according to the indictment, the year beforeTrump announced his candidacy for the presidency, which he eventually won.

"From in or around 2014 to the present, Defendants knowingly and intentionally conspired with each other (and with other persons known and unknown to the Grand Jury) to defraud the United States by impairing, obstructing and defeating the lawful functions of government," the indictment said.

The Russians specifically intended to interfere with US political and electoral processes, including the presidential election of 2016, it added.

Trump reaction

In a Twitter post later on Friday, Trump defended his campaign, saying it "did nothing wrong"

"Russia started their anti-US campaign in 2014, long before I announced that I would run for President. The results of the election were not impacted," he said.

Russia started their anti-US campaign in 2014, long before I announced that I


would run for President. The results of the election were not impacted. The Trump campaign did nothing wrong - no collusion! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 16, 2018

Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for Russia's foreign ministry, called the charges "absurd".

"Thirteen people carried out interference in the US elections? Thirteen against the billion-dollar budgets of the special forces? Against the espionage and counter-espionage, against the newest developments and technologies? ... Absurd? Yes. But this is the modern American political reality," she wrote on Facebook.

In his press briefing, Rosenstein said the indictment contained "no allegation" that any American was a knowing participant in the meddling, adding that there was no judgment on whether the election outcome was affected.

Al Jazeera's Rosiland Jordan, reporting from Washington, DC, said the indictment detailed the 13Russians and three companies made contact with at least two people working on Trump's campaign team.

"They pretended to be US persons, never telling these two unidentified campaign members, that they were in fact Russian citizens trying to be involved in the 2016 election," Jordan said.

"The indictment is clear that the two people contacted had no idea they were dealing with Russians not US persons."

In a separate White House statement, Trump called on people in the country to "unite as Americans to protect the integrity of our democracy and our elections."

"We cannot allow those seeking to sow confusion, discord, and rancor to be successful," Trump was quoted as saying.


Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore on Thursday issued a preemptive denial about an explosive story published by the Washington Post about allegedly improper relations with underage girls.

Moore issued a formal denial of the impending story to Breitbart News, in which he said the story was concocted by the Democratic Party to defeat his senatorial campaign.

“These allegations are completely false and are a desperate political attack by the National Democrat Party and the Washington Post on this campaign,” Moore tells Breitbart.

As for the report itself, the Post has a woman named Leigh Corfman on the record claiming that Moore made sexual advances toward her when she was just 14 and when Moore was in his 30s.

Corfman’s mother and two of her childhood friends corroborated her account.

Corfman tells the17 when Moore spoke to her high school civics class and asked her out on the first of several dates that did not progress beyond kissing. Gloria Thacker Deason says she was an 18-year-old cheerleader when Moore began taking her on dates that included bottles of Mateus Rosé wine.”

The Post claims that none of the women it interviewed sought out the paper to tell their stories. Rather, a Post reporter first heard about Moore’s relations with underage women while covering the Alabama Senate race, and from there reporters began interviewing people whom they believed might have been approached by Moore.

Final MixReleased only in Japan, Kingdom Hearts Final Mix has several events and a number of gameplay tweaks that are not in previous releases. Spoken dialogue is in English, with Japanese subtitles. New scenes, clarifying certain plot points, such as Riku's journey and foreshadowing of Kingdom Hearts II, were included.

A gameplay option allows the player to skip cut scenes after seeing them once. The optional bosses first included in the English version were introduced to Japanese players for the first time, along with a new fight against "Unknown Man", in an attempt to raise interest for the sequel.

In another attempt at foreshadowing, a video titled "Another Side, Another Story 【 deep dive 】" plays at the ending if the player accomplishes certain tasks. New music tracksincorporated were "Disappeared" and "Another Side". The "Night on Bald Mountain" and "One-Winged Angel" tracks from the English version were included as well.

Other changes include new abilities, new weapons, new items, additional and recolored enemies, and gameplay tweaks to make the game easier for the player, along with two new levels of difficulty.

Picked this up yesterday and have been enjoying it so far. The HD graphics are crisp, controls are responsive, and the game is just as good as I remember. My only minor complaint would be the fact you can't turn off the subtitles. Other then that it's been a pretty good ride for the first few hours I put in. Here's hoping we see Kingdom Hearts 2 HD Final Mix before the end of the year.

(INDIANAPOLIS) - An Indianapolis man was arrested Monday night after police said he rode a bicycle with his 3-year-old daughter in his arms, all while under the influence of alcohol.

Major Jones, 53, was arrested on charges of neglect of a dependent and public intoxication.

According to the police report, an officer with the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department responded to the 3500 block in reference to a domestic disturbance. When the officer arrived, the woman stated her children's father was drunk and she wanted him to leave the residence.

The officer described Jones to have "glassy blood shot eyes, thick slurred speech [and] odor of an alcoholic beverage." The officer later left the scene after Jones agreed to leave the residence and go to a friend's house.

Approximately 20 minutes later, theofficer was dispatched to the location again after the woman reported Jones returned to the house and took their 3-year-old daughter. According to the report, the officer saw Jones on a bicycle "wobbling back and forth while riding into traffic."

Jones was pulled over and detained, and his daughter was returned to her mother.

His son Charles followed in his footsteps, working at the terminal, monitoring and maintaining train cars for over 25 years. When the flood waters of 1937 rose steadily, it was Charles that was in the lower levels that night (Black Sunday), witnessing the flood waters come up through the sewer system as the lights began to fail in this part of the city. His call to authorities began mobilization in his area.

"I was a young man of twenty five years of age and was employed by the Cincinnati Union Terminal Company and a First Sergeant of Company C 147th Infantry Ohio National Guard....On Friday night, the water started to back up onto Freeman Avenue near the ball park and around the Union


Terminal. All activity stopped at the Mail Building at the Terminal and I was left there to watch the property. I was in the basement of the office and just outside of the door the lid blew off the sewer and water started to bubble up into the street. I called the Master Mechanic and suggested he get some people to start moving the material up stairs. He laughed at me and said I was just being excited. Soon the water got so deep I went upstairs on the first floor. I went to the water fountain for a drink and there was no water. I tried to use the telephone and it was dead. Then the rising water in the basement hit the generators and the lightswent out. I then started down the platform toward the Coach Yard. When I reached the end of the platform I could see that the water was several feet deep. So I turned around and went toward the passenger station. I was able to get to the station and stayed there until my time to quit at 7AM. The water by this time had backed up in front of the Terminal and it was necessary for a high bed truck to take us out. I was told not to report to work that night." Charles C. Daniels, Sr. 1985

I saw the many travelers, especially in wartime. My grandfather and his brother would have been among the many men who had to say goodbye to their families as they


were called to serve their country. I saw the women in the USO, providing comforts of home to weary soldiers. I saw tearful partings and reunions. It was under these colorful arches of the semi-dome that many said final goodbyes.

I saw my father Charles Jr. as a boy, following his father around the terminal, getting glimpses of the nooks and crannies rarely seen by the regular visitor. Years later, he applied his profession of photography to the back tracks with his father as the subject, chronicling his retirement. I saw generation after generation of parents teaching their children to talk in the far corner of the front entry as they were given a magical lesson in acoustics.

I saw the fast paced buzz of train travel in the 20thcentury, and the busy cabbies driving through the circular underbelly to transport new arrivals or drop of the departing passenger.

Fast forward to the lean years of indecision and trepidation. I saw shoppers and a whole room of suits as my parents took their time, shopping and savoring the palpable remnants of the past.

I saw rebirth. A new generation of visitors. Some train passengers, the rest time passengers as they were transported through Cincinnati's history. Children exploring and learning at every turn. My brother and I screaming and laughing in the sink hole cave exhibit. Dad taking a picture with a flash, and blinding us all. The train of twinkling lights stretching across the iconic clock each Christmas as a bright and joyful treat coming down the expressway.

Carrrie Sinclair's had it with long time love, Jack Jones. That is until he makes her an offer she can't refuse and asks her to meet him in Vegas for a last-minute wedding. This is what she always wanted in her mind and thought would never happen, but shortly after the nuptials, Carrie discovers you can know someone for years and not know them at all. Jack has a secret he's been keeping and now that they're married, he can'tman undone, in his quest to solve the case of the missing twin.

Our hero, Miles Diamond, narrowly averts financial catastrophe when he is hired by David Travis to find his missing twin brother. Unfortunately, Miles’ new case almost immediately throws him into a dangerous world of sex trafficking, drugs and international terrorism where he is soon in as much danger as the man he is trying to find. So far, Miles has survived an attempt to drown him, a bomb aboard an airplane, a pitched gun battle, a fall from the roof of Notre Dame Cathedral and enough hot sex to bring an ordinary man to his knees.
After organizing a stakeout in a fashionable Parisian neighborhood, Miles spends his spare time getting to know the neighborhood. After a

of illegalFORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Sept. 23, 2014 – Investors pulling back on home buying is one of the biggest issues facing South Florida's housing market, an analyst said Friday.

"There's still a lot of investor activity, but it is declining," said Brad O'Connor, a research economist for the Florida Realtors trade group. "As they exit the market, will demand from traditional homebuyers still push prices up?"

So far, the answer is yes, but some industry experts wonder whether that will change. They say investors have played too large of a role in the housing rebound by artificially inflating prices.

O'Connor was one of the featured speakers during a housing forum sponsored by the Greater Fort Lauderdale Realtors at Nova Southeastern University in Davie.

In July, 523 Broward buyers paid cash for single-family


homes, down 10 percent from the prior year, according to data from the Realtor board. Cash sales countywide dropped 8 percent in June from June 2013.

Richard Barkett, chief executive of Greater Fort Lauderdale Realtors, said he isn't worried about fewer investors. They've been squeezing out traditional buyers, who now will have more of an "opportunity to be active in the marketplace," he said.

Also Friday, Ned Murray, associate director of the Metropolitan Center at Florida International University, presented a report showing a lack of workforce housing in Broward.I would like to stick to my goal, keep studying cinema, start building my career step by step.

Public Policy in New York City and State by Larry Littlefield

General Government: Census of Governments Employment and Payroll Data

This post will complete my series on different government functions based on employment and payroll data from the Census of Governments, for 2012 and previous years. It includes data for the kind of general government and legal workers one might generally expect to find hanging around in city and town halls and county seats, reviewing applications, keeping records and doing inspections, rather than providing services. At the local government level the functions included are, as delineated by the U.S. Census Bureau, Health, Financial Administration, Other Local Government Administration, Judicial and Legal, and Other and Unallocable.

As has been the case in the past, I’ve found that for these categories combined thethe Financial Administration, Other Government Administration functions, with the latter including Central Staff, and in Judicial and Legal Category. Perhaps because are so few local government entities within the city’s boundaries, mostly just one – the City of New York , whereas elsewhere there may be county, town, and municipal governments, each with their own officials.

On the other hand, New York City is above average in Public Health. The city’s Health Department does work that is undertaken by state health departments elsewhere. NYC is also above average in “Other and Unallocable.” The latter includes agencies that provide services to other agencies, such as New York City’s Department of Citywide Administrative Services, Economic Development, Job Training, and other activities smaller places may not have separate agencies for. The key


of New York State is well above average at 557 local government full time equivalent workers per 100,000 residents. In particular, the 158 FTEs per 100,000 residents in the “Other Government Administration” category is far above the U.S. average of 71. Even though Census of Governments data shows that many local government workers in this category in the Rest of NY State are part time workers. This is the result of a large number of small governments serving a smaller population. Local government public health employment is also relatively high in the Rest of New York State. Perhaps government workers provide more services in rural areas, where private doctors are thinner on the ground.

Fairfield County has far fewer local government workers per 100,000 residents than average in thesegeneral government categories, and none in the Judicial and Legal function. Perhaps because Connecticut has no county governments, with activities undertaken by counties (or the City of New York) elsewhere are taken care of by the State of Connecticut in that state. Since the southern New England states are small, state governments do more of the work there, as the state capital is never that far away.

The chart for 2002 is similar to the chart for 2012, with one exception. In the Upstate Urban Counties and New Jersey total local government employment in these general government categories combined was somewhat less than NYC and the U.S. average in 2012, but was about the same as NYC and the U.S. average in 2002. Ongoing fiscal crises have meant that


there has been some reduction in local bureaucracies in the Upstate Urban Counties and New Jersey in recent years, relative to population.

There was an even bigger drop in New York City and the primarily rural counties in the Rest of New York State from 1992 to 2002. For NYC the cutbacks were across the board, possibly because the same number of civil servants were servicing a growing population. This is consistent with reductions in NYC local government employment per 100,000 residents in most other categories, as shown in prior posts. But cutbacks were greatest in the “Other Government Administration” category, presumably a result of streamlining by the Giuliani Administration during the 1990s fiscal crisis. NYC had 69 full time equivalent local government workers in the “Other Government Administration”category in 1992 but just 39 in 2002 (and 38 in 2012). New York City’s “bureaucracy” was never all that big relative to its population, and it is small now.

In the Rest of New York State, on the other hand, local government employment per 100,000 residents increased from 1992 to 2002 in the Public Health, Financial Administration, Other Government Administration, and Judicial and Legal Categories. But this was more than offset by a plunge of 215 FTEs per 100,000 residents in the “Other and Unallocable” category. That may be due to nothing more than accurate reporting. “Other and Unallocable” category includes general Departments of Public Works agencies among other things. While local government employment in this category fell by 215 from 1992 to 2002 in the Rest of


workers in these general government categories also earned more than the U.S. average in Downstate New York. They also earned more in many cases in New York City than in the Downstate Suburbs, something not true in many other categories of local government employment. Payroll per worker was particularly high in NYC, relative to the U.S. average, in the “Other and Unallocated” category, although that may be a function of what type of workers are in the category in NYC vs. the U.S.

In Upstate New York, where payroll per private sector worker is below the U.S. average, payroll per local government worker is generally also below average in these general government categories. As shown earlier, that is not the case for Elementary and Secondary Education, where an aboveare – in low cost Upstate New York or in high-cost Downstate New York. What one can say is that New York’s pay per state government employee in the Judicial and Legal category, at 30.1% above the U.S. average, would be in proportion to the private sector in Downstate New York, and really high Upstate. So perhaps the low judicial pay issue for New York State was not as bad as public discourse would have implied. Or perhaps the big judicial raise awarded in 2011 was substantially received by March 2012, and alleviated what had been a low pay level.

Among nearby states, only in Pennsylvania was state payroll per employee higher in the Judicial and Legal Category, and the small number of workers in this category there implies


420,000 to about 408,000 “full time equivalent.” As a result the level of local government employment – and its burden on taxpayers – fell substantially relative to population in almost all the government functions covered by the past few posts, although this advantage was more than offset by soaring public employee pension costs.

In many cases the existing workforce, perhaps previously less productive, has been able to provide the same or better services despite falling employment relative to population. Eventually, however, if soaring retirement benefits continue to prevent workforce expansion in proportion to population, services will deteriorate – as they did in the city’s schools in the 1990s when enrollment rose and the number of teachers did not.

In Upstate New York, on the other hand, the population was virtually[The fasciculin-acetylcholinesterase interaction].
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) terminates the action of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Fasciculins, which belong to the family of "three-fingered" snake toxins, selectively inhibit mammalian AChEs with Ki values in the picomolar range. In solution, the cationic fasciculin appears to bind to the enzyme's peripheral anionic site, located near the mouth of the gorge leading to the active center, to inhibit catalysis either allosterically or by creating an electrostatic barrier at the gorge entry (or both). Yet the crystal structure of the fasciculin-mouse AChE complex, which shows that the central loop of fasciculin fits snugly at the entrance of the gorge, suggests that the mode of action of fasciculin is steric occlusion of substrate access to the active center.

Sister Claire Andre's Funeral Mass, November 7, 2014

Sister Claire Andre's Funeral Mass was November 7th, 2014.

Sister Claire died November 4th.

Claire did all her programs for her Wake Service

And Eucharistic Mass back in April, 2014.

At the Wake service Claire had asked Friar Jim Moore OFM Conventual to share his memories of her and then she asked him to open it up to the people attending and several did share their memories of her.Some 300 'Pícnic per la República' pro-independence activists concentrated in the lobby of Barcelona's Sants train station early Sunday morning in protest against the imminent verdict for the jailed leaders behind the 2017 independence referendum.

Spanish and Catalan police officers had been removing protesters all morning until successfully vacating the lobby of their presence, with many having to be dragged or carried out.

Spanish police have set up a security cordon around the building and are only allowing passengers with tickets for high-speed AVE trains to enter.

Many of the protesters chanted slogans calling for Catalan interior minister Miquel Buch to step down, as well as claiming that they would take similar action again.

After having been kicked out of Sants station, an estimated 2,000 protesters according to the organizers and 700

Henry Fallon "Harry" Vaughan (1911)

Under the tutelage of another former Ohio State coach (Howard Jones), Harry F. Vaughan won a national championship and was named an All-American end at Yale in 1909. During that memorable season, Vaughan made a lasting impression on the legendary coach, and it would ultimately lead to Harry Vaughan becoming the tenth coach in Ohio State football history.

Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania in 1883, Harry F. Vaughan starred on the football team at the prestigious Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire. After graduating in 1907, Vaughan entered Yale College to study law. He served as captain of the freshman team during the 1908 season. In 1909, the Bulldogs weren't scored upon and won the National Championship, while the Scranton fullback was


named Second Team All-American by the New York Times in his first year on the varsity squad. Their Hall of Fame coach, Howard Jones, left Yale after that season to become the head coach at Ohio State.

After Jones led Ohio State to a 6-1-1 record in 1910, he chose to go into private business and recommended that a former player take over in his absence. It was on the recommendation of the Coach Jones that Harry F. Vaughan would lead the Buckeyes for the 1911 season.

Vaughan's stay in Columbus would be brief, leading Ohio State to a 5-3-2 mark. At the end of the season, Vaughan resigned to explore a career in law.

He'd hold one more head coaching position in college football as he led Fordham for the1914 season. He'd tally a 4-4 mark in the Bronx, finishing his coaching career with a 9-7-2 overall record in two seasons.

Vaughan served as the ends coach at the Naval Academy and Rutgers in the late 1910's. He also coached at Exeter Academy and the Yale freshman team before retiring from football.

He served as an infantry lieutenant in France during World War I. Following the war, he went into the real estate business with his brother, William, in Scranton and later in New York City.

Vaughan battled illness for several years before passing away in Martinsburg, West Viginia, at the age of 68 in 1951. He is the only Ohio State coach to be buried in the Arlington National Cemetery.

allowed in.

The room soon filled up, every seat taken, and over 1000 standing at the back behind all the seating; young old and middle-aged were sat on the floor in front of the stage.

The atmosphere was palpable in anticipation.

The event Chair, Councillor Susan Press (Todmorden Ward Calderdale) who took on the task at 5 minutes noitice took to the stage and was clearly nervous at first; she addressed the hall, in almost complete silence And explained that the job was just handed to her; the warm laughter and applause she received put her at ease.

Jeremy had arrived she said.

The Roar the applause, the cheers and a standing ovation just for mentioning his name rocked the rafters.

After that her nerves vanished and she gave a short speech from herown experience with no preparation and went on to explain that Jeremy was outside addressing the 1000 or so who could not get in due to the hall being full.

The other speakers came in and took to the stage to a standing ovation, A councillor from Islington a Lady who was Leeds Met Uni Student President Imran Hussain MP from Bradford and Richard Burgon Leeds MP?

In turn they spoke of the support Jeremy has been getting up and down the Country and his policy ideas.

Immigration, Housing, The Economy, young people, old people, welfare and a whole host of issues which are at all our hearts.

The atmosphere and warmth of applause was amazing, ovations were coming thick and fast such that each speaker was stalled and interrupted during their


speeches. Yet none missed a word or faltered.

Meanwhile we could hear snippets of Jeremy outside and the cheers he was raising from the crowd.

Imran Hussain spoke of Bradford our sister city 5 miles outside Leeds; of how the immigrant community had strengthenedin recent times; of the hardship and hardwork of the people of Bradford who much like Leeds had been affected by the Tory Cuts and Austerity.

That he could see hope in a future with Jeremy Corbyn as our Prime Minister.

There was no if or maybe, it was WHEN!

He spoke briefly about the 172 (others) who had taken the move to oust Corbyn sometimes to boos and hisses from the crowd but all in good nature.

The speeches were inspired and dramatic from every speaker, yet the atmosphere warmfriendly and all Comrades together.

We laughed we cheered we applauded every mention of the future that is Jeremy Corbyn.

Richard Burgon came to the Podium to cheers and applause, he had to wait almost 5 minutes for the ovation to end before he could begin. He spoke of Leeds, he spoke of the hard work that Jeremy had put in this last year, of electoral successes, the defeats inflicted on the Tories on welfare, tax credits, Schools and Acadamies policy defeat, the destruction of Osborne's Budget and the end of his career as Chancellor.

All of which were achievements by Corbyn and the Shadow team.

Magnanimous in his comments about the achievements of the other MP's even the 172 rebels and about how we need to fight the Tories and not
