Floridians voted overwhelmingly to continue electing the state's more than 750 trial judges, soundly defeating a movement by the state's legal community to have the governor appoint them.

In judicial circuits and counties across the state, voters favored retaining their right to select the judges who run some of Florida's busiest courts and have the most contact with ordinary citizens.

The Tampa Bay area followed that trend. Voters in the counties of Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, Hernando and Citrus will keep electing county and circuit judges every six years.

"People like to elect their public officials," Hillsborough Chief Judge Dennis Alvarez said Tuesday night. "It's the American way."

The choice to appoint or elect judges was before voters because of a constitutional amendment Floridians approved in 1998.

If the


Hispanic Bar Association, the Cuban-American Bar Association and the Florida Association for Women Lawyers supported the current system -- much to the dismay of the Florida Bar, which counts every lawyer as a member.

Tuesday's election was a blow to legal heavyweights such as the American Bar Association and the Florida Bar, which spent about $70,000 lobbying for the change around the state.

"We're very disappointed," said Terry Russell, president-elect of the Florida Bar. "I think we're stuck with a lousy way of picking judges. It's too bad."

Those who supported appointments say judicial elections are flawed and ineffective. Besides, contested judicial races are extremely rare, and if no one runs against a judge, his or her name never appears on the ballot.

In lobbying for the change, the Bar said candidatesdata stored in the library of the personal computer are transferred to the portable recording and reproducing apparatus. The portable recording and reproducing apparatus records the transferred music data to the internal hard disk drive. When the user carries the portable recording and reproducing apparatus with him or her, he or she can enjoy the music data stored in the library of the personal computer anywhere for example outdoors.

The government said over Rs 36,500 crore have been saved by eliminating bogus beneficiaries and leakages through DBT scheme.

The DBT programme, a major reform initiative to check leakages of welfare funds, was launched on January 1, 2013. It has since then been universalised to cover all central sector and centrally-sponsored schemes, where cash benefits are transferred to individual beneficiaries.

The government said significant progress is being made against black money and stringent action is being taken. It has unearthed tax evasion of Rs 50,000 crore of indirect taxes--comprising service tax, excise and customs duty and "yielded undisclosed income of Rs 21,000 crore".

Occam and Tock

The CSP calculus has inspired quite a few languages and frameworks; CHP is just one of them. Go is a recent example, but probably the oldest example is the occam programming language. Occam was developed for the Transputer processor, which has since died out. The efforts of research groups at Kent and Southampton made sure that occam survived the death of its original host platform. Today, a much-modified version of the original compiler, now named KRoC, will compile and run occam code on x86 Linux and various other platforms. Its basis, the original compiler, was written around twenty-five years ago. In C — eugh. Nowadays there are better languages to write a compiler in — such as Haskell.

My colleague Adam Sampson began playing with writing anThe use of various types of dockboard assemblies at loading docks and the like has become a common practice for many years. Such assemblies facilitate the loading and unloading of vehicles parked adjacent the docks. The hinged ramp or deck, which forms a part of the assembly, compensates for the height variations in bed of the vehicle and allows forklift trucks and the like to readily move on and off the vehicle bed during loading and unloading of the vehicle. Pivotally connected to the outer edge of the ramp opposite its hinge axis is a lip which is adapted to span the distance between the rear end of the bed of the parked vehicle and the outer edge of the ramp.
In normal practice, when the vehicle is being


maneuvered to its parked position or after it has assumed its parked position, the ramp is actuated to an upwardly pivoted position and the lip moved to an outwardly extended position. The ramp with the extended lip is then lowered until the extended lip overlies and contacts the bed of the vehicle.
In some instances, however, when the vehicle bed has been engaged before the vehicle has been backed into engagement with the safety bumpers, normally positioned on the front wall of the dock, such relative movement of the vehicle may cause the ramp to be forcibly pivoted upwardly sometimes creating undue stresses and strains within various components. Such stresses and strains oftentimes cause serious damage to the assembly and/or the dock on which it is mounted.Exhibits at the Town Hall Theatre

Two years ago, my hospital was destroyed. It was the only dedicated rehabilitation hospital in Gaza, a modern centre of care with 80 beds, a therapeutic garden and state-of-the-art equipment. Our patients are among Gaza’s most vulnerable residents; many are paralysed, some need round-the-clock care.

In summer 2014, Gaza endured 51 days of attacks by Israel in which no place was safe, not even schools or hospitals. Soon after the attacks began, El Wafa, situated near the Shujaiyya neighbourhood in eastern Gaza, came under fire from Israeli shells and missiles.

On July 17, the hospital was struck, leading to a power cut and fires on several floors. We evacuated the patients under constant shelling and in the dark.

After several more days of strikes, on July 23, the hospital was completelybill is tabled and there is committee and house debate on the bill. It matters who these individual people will be, and less what party they are affiliated with. To this end I have just donated $500 to the campaign of author, broadcaster, editor, journalist, musician, negotiator, singer, and Timmins--James Bay MP Charlie Angus.

Obvious place to start the list, with incumbent Charlie Angus of the New Democrats expected to keep his seat. He is the incumbent MP who best understands technology law issues, whether it be Copyright or Net Neutrality. He has also been very successful in educating and working within his caucus to enable the NDP to have some of the strongest candidates in this election.

on a back surface of said sheet frame through said adhesive layer; and an IC carrier having a base and an IC module mounted on the base, said IC carrier being set in the aperture of said sheet frame so as to be secured there with said adhesive layer of said backing film.
The present invention provides, as a second aspect, the sheet-framed IC carrier according to the first aspect, wherein a frame slit is provided between the aperture and a peripheral edge portion of the sheet frame whereby said sheet frame can be divided into a plurality of frame segments.
The present invention provides, as a third aspect, the sheet-framed IC carrier according to the first aspect, wherein said backing film has a film slit for separating a regioncovering the aperture from the other region.
The present invention provides, as a fourth aspect, the sheet-framed IC carrier according to the first aspect, wherein a plurality of apertures in each of which an IC carrier is set are provided in the sheet frame.
The present invention provides, as a fifth aspect, the sheet-framed IC carrier according to the first aspect, wherein the other surface of the backing film is a contact surface with a conveying portion and said backing film is made of a material to increase a frictional force of said contact surface.
The present invention provides, as a sixth aspect, the sheet-framed IC carrier according to the first aspect, wherein an information recording portion into which mechanically readable information is to be recorded is provided on a back


surface of the sheet frame and the backing film is stuck on a region of the back surface except for said information recording portion.
The present invention provides, as a seventh aspect, the sheet-framed IC carrier according to the first aspect, wherein said IC carrier is produced in approximately the same size and the same shape as the IC module.
The present invention provides, as a eighth aspect, a sheet-framed IC carrier according to the first aspect, wherein an information indicating portion for indicating identification information of the IC carrier is provided on each of the sheet frame and the base of the IC carrier.
The present invention provides, as a ninth aspect, the sheet-framed IC carrier according to the first aspect, wherein a magnetic layer for information, to be writtensheet frame with the backing film, wherein when the IC carrier is taken out, the sheet frame is separated into a plurality of frame segments and the IC carrier is peeled off from the backing film. Accordingly, no excessive load is applied on the IC module and the IC carrier can be taken out easily and safely without breakage or popping-out.
According to the invention of the third aspect, the portion stuck on the region covering the aperture of the backing film is peeled off from the sheet frame with the IC carrier adhering to the portion. The IC carrier is then peeled off from the thus peeled-off portion of the backing film. Accordingly, the IC carrier can be taken out with little load on the IC module.
According to


Accordingly, the information in the information recording portion can be mechanically read even after the backing film is adhered to the sheet frame.
According to the invention of the seventh aspect, the aperture is formed in the card base to form a sheet frame and the backing film is adhered to the back surface of the sheet frame. On the other hand, the IC carrier is formed in a separate flow from that of the sheet frame in the same size as the IC module. The IC carrier is set in the aperture of the sheet frame with the adhesive layer. Accordingly, the IC carrier can be produced in the flow different from that of the sheet frame, which can obviate the spot-facing step to form a recess forsheet frame, and the information can be read from the magnetic layer.
According to the invention of the tenth aspect, the IC carrier is stored in the case body when not used. Accordingly, no external load is applied on the IC carrier when not used, e.g., when carried, preventing damage to the IC carrier.
According to the invention of the eleventh aspect, an IC card of ordinary size is produced, a backing film is adhered to the back surface of the card, and the peripheral slit is formed outside the peripheral edge of the IC carrier portion, permitting production using the ordinary IC card production facilities.
According to the invention of the twelfth aspect, the aperture is first formed in a conventional card base, the backing film is adhered to the


back surface of the base, the frame slit is then formed, and the IC carrier is put in the aperture. Accordingly, the sheet-framed IC carrier can be produced with a conventional card base and the production process can obviate the spot-facing step for mounting the IC module and the inspection step for inspecting characteristics of the IC module after formation of the slit portion, thus, reducing the production time.
According to the invention of the thirteenth aspect, the backing film is adhered to the back surface of the card base and thereafter the mount recess and peripheral slit for mount of IC module are successively cut, simplifying the cutting process.With a potentially perilous exit from the European Union looming, many Britons face a squeeze on living standards, but for one group, it may prove particularly tough.

Without changes, younger Britons risk becoming less prosperous than their parents’ generation for the first time since the Black Death pandemic that ravaged the region in the Middle Ages, according to the country’s chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Hammond, who delivered his annual budget on Wednesday.

That danger could also prove critical for Mr. Hammond’s Conservative Party. The divide between generations, long debated in Britain, became a newly urgent topic for the Conservatives after a general election in June, in which they unexpectedly lost their majority in Parliament. Young voters turned out in force for the opposition Labour Party, led by the left-wing


pay off—Ryan was so certain he’d found his true home in Buffalo that he accepted the Bills’ offer 12 days after being fired by New York, without knowing how much the Bills would pay him. His five-year, $27.5 million contract was negotiated only after he committed to Terry Pegula on Jan. 10, during a second interview in the owner’s South Florida business office.

In the weeks that followed, Ryan bought a house near the Bills’ stadium and updated the tattoo on his right arm; the pin-up rendition of his wife, Michelle, wearing a number 6 jersey now sports Bills blue instead of Jets green. Season-ticket sales have risen from 47,482 last season to nearly 53,000 so far, putting the Bills within striking distance of their high-water mark, 57,132, setfrom Baltimore to New York to accept it. He brought with him an outsized personality perfectly suited to the New York market.

Ryan thought his 2010 team should have been his Super Bowl squad, and he wanted to keep it together for one more run. But the Jets lost some key free agents, and in 2011, Ryan’s third season, they finished 8–8 and were essentially eliminated from playoff contention following a Christmas Eve loss to the local-rival Giants. Not long after, Ryan says he began to feel he was losing sway within the organization.

In April 2012 the Jets hired a new team president, Neil Glat. That season the team went 6–10, and general manager Mike Tannenbaum subsequently was replaced by John Idzik. Despite having put on a good face,


cut ties with Idzik. (Now a Jaguars consultant, Idzik declined through a team spokesman to be interviewed for this story.) A few hours later Rex and Michelle flew to Orlando to watch their youngest son, Seth, a receiver for Clemson, play in the Russell Athletic Bowl. Then Rex abided by his tradition of taking a season-ending trip to Hawaii. This time, though, he packed an interview suit.

Ryan was joined by Bills legends Thomas and Kelly, and some passionate supporters, at the Big Tree Inn in early April. (Clay Patrick McBride for Sports Illustrated/The MMQB)

Hussein Jamakovic, who worked for the Denk Muslim party, sent the email to Telegraaf, a pro-Israel paper that positions itself as center-right.

Last week, the newspaper was also attacked when a van drove into the building at around 4am before bursting into flames.

Telegraaf is seen as having a hostile attitude toward radical Islam, JTA reported. The newspaper also covers organized crime with regularity.

Jamakovic’s message was over reports of his alleged expressions of sympathy for the Islamic State terrorist group. He also sent the email to three other news organizations.

JTA noted that the email came as attacks against journalists are occurring


conclusively that Mormonism is still not being widely received, no matter how optimistic its ecumenical reach seems to be: consider this political commentary that certainly cannot but trouble thinking and yet pious Mormons who might want Mr. Williams' crusade to break the surface of public attention to what promises to be a messy election season ahead: The current presidential campaign began with two cautionary tales fresh in the minds of political strategists:

In 2008, candidate Barack Obama broke ties with his Chicago pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, after videos surfaced of Wright sermonizing that U.S. foreign policy played a role in the 9/11 attacks. "America's chickens are coming home to roost," Wright said. Obama was so close with Wright that the Democrat took the title of his 2006 book,"The Audacity of Hope," from one of the pastor's sermons.

Republican Mitt Romney was the other example. The former Massachusetts governor had struggled to address concerns about being Mormon despite a major faith-and-values speech in 2007 in Texas.

He quoted the New Testament and declared his belief in Jesus. (Many Christian denominations don't consider Mormons to be Christian.) He commended the deep faith of the Founding Fathers and decried secularism. And like Kennedy, he promised that "no authorities of my church, or of any other church for that matter, will ever exert influence on presidential decisions." Yet, polls continued to show an unwillingness to vote for a Mormon, especially among white evangelicals, who form a large segment of the GOP.

"That speech probably drew more attention to his Mormonism than it


was worth," said Ed Kilgore, a former policy director at the centrist Democratic Leadership Council who oversaw programs that urged Democrats to talk about the values behind their policies. "It raised a lot of questions and didn't really resolve them."

Romney is once again seeking the GOP presidential nomination. He has barely discussed his religion so far.

Politicians like to quip that they're not running for theologian in chief. Still, they face increasingly complex questions on doctrine — prompted in many cases by their own attempts at highlighting their faith. Click here to read the rest of this insightful Yahoo!

The legacy of Mormonism embodied in its historic belief of being "the only true church" on the planet, well established hierarchy of unquestionable spiritual authorityship channel near the breakwater and within hailing distance of the Erie Coast Guard Station when the steel tiller cable on the Anna G slipped out of its slot so that the boat could not be steered and was hence temporarily disabled. Geertson then called upon the Coast Guard for assistance. The Coast Guard Patrol Boat 30311, 30-feet over-all, under the command of Chief Boatswain Harold H. Rohr, and with a crew of two, responded to Geertson's call and undertook to tow the Anna G to its mooring place at Maddy's dock at the foot of Walnut Street in Erie harbor, a point two miles to the westward. The weather was clear, the water was calm, the Anna G towed well and there was no surging.

Maddy's dock, on


the west side of which Geertson customarily moored his boat, was L shaped, one portion extending northwardly from and at right angles to the shore line and the other portion, consisting of a crib dock, extending from the outer end of the first portion eastwardly parallel with the shore line. When the CG 30311 with the Anna G in tow neared this dock Rohr steered the CG 30311 in a southwestwardly direction toward the east side of the dock, where he believed the water was deepest and free from obstructions. Geertson on the Anna G then hailed the CG 30311, motioning and shouting that he wanted to be towed to the west side of the dock, but at no time thereafter did Geertson receive any response, by signalor otherwise, from anyone aboard the CG 30311 that the Anna G would be towed to where he had requested.

The CG 30311 approached the east end of the crib dock under reduced speed with the tow line shortened, then veered sharply to the right, whereupon the Anna G by reason of its disabled steering gear, sheered off to the left toward the crib dock. After making this turn, the CG 30311 coasted westwardly outside of the crib dock, not under power, while the Anna G continued to drift slowly in a southwesterly direction toward the east end of the crib dock. Geertson was then kneeling on the bow of the Anna G preparatory to grasping the piling at the edge of the dock in the belief that the

Only one team â?? Florida State â?? ended the season with its hands clasped firmly around a crystal football. The rest, from Auburn on down, came up short of a national championship.

Yet several teams outside of FSU still had extremely successful seasons. It's all in the eye of the beholder: While Alabama's mentality was title or bust, for example, another team could view an eight-win finish the same way FSU views its first championship since 1999.

But winning the national title makes 2013 an A+ season for Florida State. What grade would your team get for its performance this fall? Let's hand out a team-by-team report card for the Football Bowl Subdivision, with grades ranging from A+ through a

**Background:** The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major global health problem that requires widespread active interventions for its prevention and control. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region has the highest prevalence of HCV worldwide. The prevalence of HCV in Saudi Arabia is uncertain because no recent studies have been conducted. The use of direct acting antiviral agents (DAAs) to treat chronic hepatitis C (HCV) has resulted in a significant increase in the rates of SVR (90%-95%) as compared with the treatment of Peg-interferon/Ribavirin.

- a dedicated doctor & parish councillor

Few parishioners of Angmering have dedicated their lives to the well-being of the village to the extent that Clement Chaplin did. He was Angmering's doctor for 41 years and chairman of Angmering Parish Council for no less than a quarter of a century from 1921 until 1946.

The early years

Clement Woodthorpe Chaplin was born in Islington in 1876, the youngest of seven children (two died in infancy 4) of wine merchant Robert William Chaplin and his wife Ellen Mary Orton Godbolt 1, 2 . The family name "Woodthorpe" was the surname of his maternal grandmother who came from a Suffolk family 2.

At the time of Clement’s birth the family lived at 58 Mildmay Park, Islington, (then in) Middlesex. Censuses register him


as residing with the family at least until 1901, by which date his father was 67 and retired. Census evidence indicates the family lived at 81 Lewisham High Road, Deptford in 1881; 124 Breakspear Road, Deptford in 1891; and at 96 Breakspear Road, Deptford in 1901.

Clement attended The Herrick School where at Christmas 1889 he was awarded prizes for Algebra and Euclid. He then attended St Olave’s School, Southwark (Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School of St Olave and St John, Southwark) and was awarded prizes for Mathematics, Chemistry, Divinity and French in the early 1890s 4.

By 1901, Clement had qualified as a doctor and is described in the census of that year as a "Physician Surgeon" living in Islington 3. His medical training was undertaken at the London Hospitalwhere he did so well that he won the Gold Medal for the most outstanding graduate in the country in 1907 4. It is quite likely that he was hospital-based as in the same year - 1907 - he married Agnes Harris from Guildford, a senior nursing Sister 4, 5.

Clement had also achieved a number of qualifications by 1905 which included: MRCSC (Eng) (1899), LRCP (Lond) (1899), MB ( 1903), and MD (1905) 20 .

Move to Angmering

Marriage saw Clement's career change both direction and location. Immediately following their marriage, Clement and Agnes moved to Angmering where he established his surgery at "Winona" in the High Street. This was a new large semi-detached property, probably built by his next-door neighbour, the builder and local historian Edwin Harris. In the


early years, Clement rented the house from Harris 6 but, at some stage, he purchased it as a leasehold property 4. A surgery was constructed adjoining the house. Today, the house is known as "Chaplins" - a very fitting name and memorial to an outstanding contributor to the quality of life in the parish - see drawing left . 19

It was here that Clement and Agnes Chaplin raised their family - Roger Woodthorpe (b.1908), Ruth Mary (b.1909), George Woodthorpe (b.1914), and Prudence Plunkett (b.1915) 4, Plunkett being the surname of Clement's paternal grandmother 2 .

Clement wasted no time in integrating himself into the community. In 1910 he was appointed as a trustee of the William Older's Charity 7. Additionally within 5 years of arriving in Angmering, he hadalso become an Angmering Parish Councillor, a member of Angmering Cricket Club, a member of the local Conservative Primrose League and, more bizarrely, a member of Angmering Rat & Sparrow Club - the last being an organisation not only formed for the extermination of two very destructive pests, but also to provide its members with periodical gatherings of a convivial character 8.

Within seven years of the Chaplins' arrival in Angmering, Europe had been plunged into war. Early in the war saw Clement volunteer his services, as surgeons were in great demand. In October 1915 he joined the Royal Army Medical Corps and saw service in Egypt as a Surgeon Lieutenant and saw service in Egypt as part of Eastern Command. His war medals included the 1914-15 Star, British


War Medal, and Victory Medal and finished his service as a Captain (see photo right)4. By the end of 1917, Clement was back in Angmering and residents (according to the local broadsheet "Scribble") were "right glad to have him there once more". At much the same time a qualified nurse took up residence in the village, possibly under Clement's direction 9.

The following year saw the end of hostilities but a new enemy had already emerged - the Influenza pandemic of 1918-1919, which killed somewhere between 20 to 40 million people worldwide! In Angmering, as elsewhere, the demands on doctors were almost untenable. In a letter to a cousin, Clement wrote 4 :

"Since I started work again (i.e. after his return from WW1 service) I have been properly busyand the influenza has kept me at it as hard as I could go. Luckily none of us had it and also it took its time to travel round this district so that I had time to get one village fairly free from it before another became a hotbed. But even with the distribution as it was the work was stiff".

Parish Council work

Clement's concern for the welfare of villagers did not end with their medical care. He also must have felt strongly about the governance of the village, particularly after the end of WW1 when there had been vast social changes and expectations of residents, and particularly the so-called "working class", were much raised. He joined the Council some years earlier but was elected its Chairman in 1921,


a position that he went on to hold continuously until 1946 10.

Actually, there was a strong connection between his medical duties and his work with the Parish Council. Living conditions in many of the old houses were appalling and contributed to the spread of disease. No doubt Clement and some of his fellow councillors, especially the socialist Edwin Harris, were determined to improve the situation, even if it meant coming into conflict with the village magnates who owned such property. The problem had already been identified some years earlier when Edwin Harris wrote starkly in his 1912 politico-historical electioneering pamphlet 11:

"Throughout the parish, the evils of bad housing are still very evident. Quite a number of cottages have but one room, to serve as a living place, parlour,sitting room, and dining room, with another above it, with ceiling and floor consisting of a single half-inch of board, which perforce must be, sleeping place, birth place, nursery, and death place."

Through the 1920s and 1930s, Clement and his Council went on to clear Angmering of insanitary conditions which included demolition of these old dwellings, and the introduction of mains sewerage and mains water 10.

Clement was also closely involved with St Margaret's Church as a member of the Parochial Church Council by 1918 and into the 1920s during which time he had been appointed as a sidesman. Later he was elected as a churchwarden from 1922 to about 1925 12.

Back to Angmering Parish Council, Clement helped guide Angmering through the Second World War when the village was identified


as a Nodal Point - an area designed to protect the civilian population in the event of enemy invasion. The main reasons for Angmering's selection were probably its near coast location, and its proximity to the radar station at Poling. Nodal Points were governed by a triumvirate consisting of the local military commander, the chairman of the parish council, and the senior police officer 13.

It was also a sad time for Clement and Agnes when their younger son, Major George Woodthorpe Chaplin, was killed on 2 December 1944 while serving in Italy 14. They may, however, have had the consolation of knowing that George, like his father, had gone beyond the call of duty and had been awarded the Military Cross earlier in 1944 15.

In poor health andno doubt exhausted by demands of the Council, the war, and not least by his medical care of the population of Angmering residents and those of the surrounding parishes, Clement retired from the Parish Council in 1946 10. He also sold his medical practice on 1 April that year 4.

Referring to the fact that Clement had been a member of the Council for some 34 years it was proposed that he be presented with a testimonial and whilst the view was expressed that this was something he would not be in favour of, the Council nevertheless decided to go ahead. A grand total of £121 was collected from sources in Angmering and East Preston which was presented to Clement in the form of a cheque 10. (Note: In


2010, the purchasing power of £121 (in 1946) was worth £3740 using the increase in the retail price index or £11,974 using the increase in average earnings.)

On Christmas Day 1949, at the age of 74, Clement died which must have saddened his patients as he was a well-loved doctor. Agnes, although never a well woman, lived on until 1954. They are buried in the lower south side of St Margaret's churchyard in the village. A slab over their grave reads16 :

In Loving Memory of / Clement Woodthorpe Chaplin, MD / Interred into rest /
Christmas Day 1949 / Aged 74 / Jesus Lives. /
Also of his younger son / George Woodthorpe Chaplin, MC / Major 5th Bt. Grenadier Guards /
Killed in action in Italy, December 1944 / Aged 30years / Counted worthy. /
Also of his beloved wife / Agnes / who for 42 years shared his joy and sorrows /
Died 28th March 1954 / Aged 80 years.

The family man

The foregoing tells us what Clement Chaplin achieved, but tells us little of the man himself. What we do know is that he was a very tall man, 6' 3", but quite softly spoken. His sons Roger and George inherited his stature being 6' 2" and 6' 5" respectively 4.

Clement and Agnes's four children were all educated privately. After leaving school, both Roger and George joined the Bank of England, Roger rising to the rank of Principal. Following his marriage to Flora McDowell in 1936, they had two children 4.

George married Jocelyn Paterson in March 1940 and their


only child, a daughter, was born in 1942. He volunteered for war service in the late summer of 1940 and following Sandhurst was commissioned into the Grenadier Guards. After training in Scotland he was stationed at Windsor, and with the 5th Battalion fought in Tunisia and Italy. As a Captain, he was Intelligence Officer for the Battalion during the Anzio campaigns of January/February 1944, during which he was involved in action for which he was awarded the Military Cross. He was promoted to Major in 1944. George was killed in action at Monte Sole on 2 December 1944 4. George's MC citation read 4:

"On 4 Feb. 1944 at CARROCETO, No. 2 Coy which had been heavily attacked by infantry and tanks throughout the night, was completely cut offfrom the Bn and all communications had broken down. It was not possible to reach the company without going over about 200 yards of open ground in full view of the enemy whose machine guns invariably opened up on any observed movement. The Commanding Officer ordered Lt. Chaplin to go forward to see if it was possible to reach the Company. Disregarding the enemy fire, Lt. Chaplin made his way through heavy MG fire to the company, and personally visited all three platoons, encouraging the men and giving them information about the battle as a whole. This action greatly raised the morale of this company. Lt. Chaplin returned through enemy fire having obtained for the Commanding Officer detailed information about the night's action and the names and numbers


of casualties.

On the night of 7/8 Feb., BNHQs was in a gully - to which the enemy penetrated in strength having overrun three coys. The enemy took up positions on the top of the cliff which overlooked the HQ, and started firing at short range with machine-pistols, LMGs and hand-grenades into the Command Post. Lieut. Chaplin went out alone on his own initiative, climbed round the entrance to the gully and by throwing hand-grenades at the enemy kept them from the edge of the cliff for long enough for the Command Post to be moved. But for this gallant and spontaneous action the enemy would have been able from the cliff-top to drop grenades right into the Command Post and would have destroyed Bn.HQ."

Their daughter Ruth joined theForeign Office in the 1930s which lead to postings in Washington DC and other locations in Eastern Europe. She was awarded the OBE in the New Year Honours List 1965, after she had returned from being Third Secretary in the British Embassy, Moscow. She spoke several European languages including Czech and Russian. Clement and Anges's younger daughter Prudence went into nursing on leaving school but with WWII she joined the ATS and was an Army driver, driving troop carriers and later on being personal driver to a Brigadier. She married Lionel Mackay 4.

Reminiscences of villagers and family

But it is probably from the memories of villagers that we will learn most about Clement. The following are extracts from "Angmering - Reminiscences of bygone days" 17:

Ivy Francis (1908-2001)

Dr. Clement Chaplin


came to Angmering in 1905 and his surgery was a wooden structure built in the garden of his house in the High Street. The waiting room had hard benches, no heating, and his bicycle, on which he did his rounds, stood in the corner. Later he invested in an open tourer of a pre-war vintage. He would never allow anyone to clean the surgery, so it was festooned with cobwebs on the ceiling. He made up his own medicines in the little cubby-hole by the side and held two surgeries every day and one on Sunday.

Before Dr. Chaplin came, the nearest doctor was at Littlehampton who came in a horse and trap and for medicine one had to go all the way to Littlehampton. There were no buses,"loo" and as she had left chops frying on the stove he obligingly turned them for her. She complained that she couldn't keep her boys in bed with measles so he suggested throwing tin-tacks on the floor.

He would also extract teeth if necessary, not always giving an anaesthetic. His daughter, Prudence, said that he attended to her lying on the dining room table. Of course, there was no district nurse but several local women would help out with nursing.

In the summer, Mr Harris used to bring his fair to the ground behind Chappy's garden. However, the doctor objected and, since no one dared disagree, it came no more. When a meeting was held in the school - now the library - to discuss street lighting, he vetoed this


too as he wanted to keep Angmering a village.

His wife, a formidable lady who had been a matron in a London hospital, was an excellent needlewoman and held craft classes. She could never understand why I "gave them a miss" but if she had seen my embroidery she would have done. She always won the needlework competition at WI but this didn't go down well so the committee made her the judge! She once made a patchwork quilt and lined it with woollen squares cut from underclothing. It was raffled in aid of WI funds and Mrs Wells, who won it, said that she went to bed under the doctor's pants!

Dr Chaplin died in the 1940s and it was said that if only he had taken more holidaysor rest days he would have been with us longer. The surgery is no longer there but we think of him when we pass his house, now called "Chaplins".

Rose Longhurst (b. 1930s)

My father, William (Bill), worked for the Forestry Commission during the war. The trees for felling would be marked with a red band and, once felled and trimmed, my father helped haul the great logs onto a trailer and then he transported them to Singleton Saw Mills. This was a tricky operation round the narrow hilly roads in that area. All logs had to be measured and this was done with a special measure (that pulled out of a flat, round leather case), which enabled him to calculate the cubic measurement of the logs from their circumference


and length. On one occasion a log fell on my dad’s foot which meant a visit to Dr Chaplin who removed his large toenail and, as there was no anaesthetic, the Doctor gave him a large whisky to help!

Joy Luck (1912-2002)

There was no chemist in the early days as Doctor Chaplin did all the prescribing of medicines. The Chemist Shop didn't come into the village until after the Health Act of 1948 came in.

The Wadey Family (b.1930s)

Behind Woodford Villas another George Chalk and his family kept pigs in a field and sold the sausages in his shop in the High Street. Dr Chaplin recommended these sausages to patients when they were recuperating.

There were no street lights in the village and a visit to the doctor meant going tosee Doctor Chaplin who would diagnose and dispense the required medicine. His surgery in the High Street had a very high ceiling and shelves filled with medicines in bottles - and a lot of cobwebs! He was a huge man and if he came to see you he would sit on the bed and the feather mattress would collapse under him.

Another resident, when a youngster, remembers Clement as a marvellous doctor who was quick in diagnosing illnesses. He was a tall quiet man and called most of his patients by their first name or a nickname he had given them. In his later years he had white hair and drove around in a grey Standard car 18.

His wife Agnes is remembered as a rather severe lady who was


probably very conscious of the dignity of being the doctor’s wife and wife of chairman of the Parish Council. However, she was always very kind to her young granddaughter who was to become a talented pianist. Agnes herself had studied piano with the well known composer Alice Verne Bredt. Agnes also produced beautiful needlework too – both embroidery and patchwork 4.

From these reminiscences, it's clear that Clement Chaplin was a man who cared much for his patients and the community. There is also a hint of his humour. This is reinforced by his daughter-in-law (George's widow) who said Clement was a quiet and she thought rather shy person who took several days to talk easily with her, but was then an amusing, witty companion 4.

MPCA sets new water quality standards

Run-off from agricultural land is the biggest contributor of nutrients like phosphorous and nitrogen to lakes and rivers. Those elements feed toxic algae that coats waterways.

The MPCA's standards for those nutrients vary based on the type of waterway.

Mark Tomasek oversees the MPCA's water quality standard rules. He says this is the first time Minnesota has developed standards to cap the amount of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous entering the state's lakes and rivers.

"As you get more nutrients, you get excess growth of algae and reduced clarity," said Tomasek. "That impacts recreational use of swimming and other general uses of lakes."

Tomasek says the agency wrote the country's first water quality standards for two common corn herbicides, acetochlor and metolachor.

The series has had an awkward release timeline on Nintendo's hybrid console. The first game debuted there in August 2018 and the four episodes of The Final Season dropped between that month and March 2019. The middle two games had been earmarked for release on the platform in late 2018, but developer Telltale Games effectively shut down that September when all but 25 employees were laid off.

After Telltale's collapse, the series rights reverted to Skybound Entertainment, which Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman co-founded. It roped in many of Telltale's former developers to finish up the last two episodes of The Final Season, but the previously announced Switch ports were put on hold until now. There's no word as yet on a Switch release for standalone title The WalkingDead: Michonne.

Skybound is also putting the full series on Steam for the first time. It's re-releasing the first two titles and bringing A New Frontier and The Final Season to the storefront later this week. Meanwhile, a new virtual reality title called The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners will be available on Steam from this Thursday.

A holding company called LCG Entertainment snapped up many of Telltale's assets back in August with plans to revive the studio, but the deal didn't include the rights to The Walking Dead. The new Telltale recently announced a sequel to The Wolf Among Us.


A Tribute to Carroll Shelby

Words by Matt Willis

As most of us in the automotive community know, one of the biggest headlines last year was the passing of Carroll Shelby on May 10, 2012. Even if you’re not part of the community, chances are you know who Carroll was and what he meant to motorsports and enthusiasts all around the world. His involvement with the AC Cobra and the GT40 brought renowned success to Ford on the international circuits. He helped design some of their most iconic vehicles, such as the GT350 and GT500 Mustangs – both classic and late model – as well as the revised Ford GT in 2003. For many years, Shelby and his cars have been thought of as nothing short of extraordinary.

Child care and education together rank as the second-highest expenditure.

It will cost $36,210 to feed a child for 18 years, according to the USDA.

Propagating the species is an expensive proposition. Children require pretty hefty investments of money and time just to get them to age 18, to say nothing of the expensive college years.

Every year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture tallies how much families spend on children and estimates the cost of raising them to college age. The latest report found that middle-class parents of a child born in 2010 could expect to spend more than a quarter of a million dollars in the child's first 18 years.

And that cost has increased since last year's report. Expenses in nearly all of

When Jon spotted T.O. approaching, neither knowing who he was nor his playing position, he respectfully asked for only 2 minutes and a few questions. T.O. consented and within their brief conversation, Niednagel discerned he was definitely a #9 FCAR Brain Type, which instantly revealed his inborn mental and physical skills and upside potential (as all BT students know). Niednagel could check later if T.O.’s key football stats made the NFL grade. Now 20-plus years later, Owens has since retired as the second all-time receiver (with career yardage) incapable of absorbing water to form a hydrogel when placed in an aqueous, physiological-type environment.
These prior devices depend on the relationship between the drug's diffusivity in the reservoir, its diffusivity in the delivery environment, and its diffusivity through the membrane. In other words, the diffusivity through the membrane has to be the least of the three, in order for the membrane to serve as a rate-limiting barrier. They all generally rely on Fick's First Law of Diffusion, in which the flux of a solute through a membrane is related to the area and thickness of the membrane, the permeability coefficient of the solute for that membrane material, and the concentration of the solute.

The Housing for Health methodology evolved as an applied research and development project ([@CIT0001]). The first pilot was commenced in Pipalyatjara, a small Aboriginal community in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands in an arid zone region of South Australia ([@CIT0007]). The aim was to undertake a detailed study of the housing and living environment of Aboriginal people to isolate the environmental changes that would lead to maximum health gains, particularly for children aged 0--5 years. We developed a list of healthy living practices (HLPs) focussed around electrical safety, hygiene, and nutrition that would be necessary for anyone to keep themselves and their family well ([@CIT0001]). We prioritized these according to their likely impact on health status, especially for young children.

A 64-year-old woman was referred to our center because of poorly tolerated ventricular tachycardia (VT) at 210 bpm due to an old myocardial infarction. The patient had been operated on at age of 20 for mitral valve commissurolysis, at age of 49 for ductal carcinoma, at age of 56 for mitral valve replacement, and at age of 61 for tricuspid valve replacement. Left ventricular EF was 31%. The patient was in permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) since the age of 53. She had undergone three cardiac surgery procedures, ending with two prosthetic mechanical valves. The cardiac surgery team advised against an epicardial ICD implantation.

“I remember when our street had trees on it. It was so nice,” says 91-year-old Elca Cartum as she sits in her living room, just feet away from the incessant stream of cars and trucks on the elevated highway that passes right outside her window.

Elca has been living on the third floor since 1959. First they widened the street and planted trees to make a boulevard, she recalls. Then in the late 60s Brazil’s military dictatorship decided São Paulo needed an elevated highway to help link the east and west of the rapidly growing city.

So began the largest construction project in South America at the time. The result was the Elevado Presidente Costa e Silva, named after a key figure in the military government. Although it has since been renamed after pre-coup president João Goulart, everyone knows it as the Minhocão anyway – after a giant mythical worm which roams the forests of South and Central America.

“As soon as they built it many of our neighbours moved away,” Elca recalls, but her husband wanted to stay near his dental surgery downtown, and the children were settled at school. “Once most of them had left it was too late for us. The price had fallen

Since the flange is essential for connecting the power output end of the crankshaft to a flywheel and to a drive train leading to the rear wheels, it is necessary to design a seal which may be installed in a manner which accommodates the flange rather than to eliminate the flange from the crankshaft.
Rear crankshaft seals were originally constructed by wrapping a length of rope around the crankshaft at the rear sealing position and clamping the rope in place between the engine case and an extension of the rear bearing cap.

American Exceptionalism. How the Right is destroying it.

Our numbering system uses Arabic Numerals. Algebra is an Arabic word, as is algorithm. 2/3 of the named stars have Arabic names. Why?

From 800 C.E. til around 1100 C.E. the Islamic Caliphate was centered in the great city of Baghdad. This city was the crossroads of civilization after the collapse of the classical Roman Empire and the decline of the Eastern Empire. It brought together China, Persia, North Africa and Europe in an intellectual stew.

The collapse of Rome left Europe in disarray. With the lack of traditional nation states far too much power was ceded to the Church. They controlled education. The tomes that were salvaged from Rome were transcribed by monks. In Europe the Catholic Church was


the gatekeeper of education and existent knowledge for all practical purposes.

With their dogmatic views the conditions in Europe were not conducive to unfettered research.The major advancements in Europe were related to the construction of Cathedrals and other religious edifices. Architecture, engineering and related mathematics.

Baghdad however saw the mixing of ideas and cultures. The classical knowledge and ideas from the Greco-Roman era. Ideas and knowledge from India and China. Muslims, Jews and Christians mingled freely exchanging insights.

The result was an explosion of scientific knowledge and preservation of the earlier scientific gains threatened by the collapse of Rome.

Astronomy flourished hence the Arabic star names. Mathematics was expanded. Algebra and the adoption of the Arabic numerals.Those replaced the use of the cumbersome Roman numerals eventually in the West. The use offrom conservatives. The irony is they may be killing what they are extolling.

American exceptionalism isn't a myth. The explosive emergence of The United States onto the world stage was fostered and fueled by intellectual freedom. A refusal to take "I can't understand this" as a limit to progress. Americans have always sought answers.

Freed from religious hegemony and the resulting intellectual shackles by the Enlightenment, America was born. The men who founded this great nation were steeped in the intellectual, philosophical and scientific revolutionary thought of their time. Secular Humanism was replacing Dogmatic Religion as the driving force in human advancement.

When faced by a problem in science answers were sought and the default position of "Known only to God" was rejected and a solution was found.

Americans took European ideas


and made them distinctly ours. From the founding of this nation Americans rose to the front of the wave of modern science. We blazed the paths that severed our bonds to the Earth as we learned to fly. We took the British Industrial Revolution and showed the world what it could be.

Americans in the 19th and 20th Centuries took scientific advancement in stride seeing it as a birthright.
Science and technology made the United States the Arsenal Of Democracy during the Second World War. It enabled the defeat of the Nazis and the Japanese Empire in years rather than decades.

The American dominance in science is seen in the Nobel prizes accumulated. There are a lot of elements that have uniquely American names. We opened up the Solar System. Americanson the account.

One other interesting possibility is that citizens would also be able to transfer money from their conventional bank account to the ECB account. Why would they do this? Well, the ECB would not be paying interest on the sums held on their accounts. On the other hand, any money that was held by the ECB would be absolutely safe. There would be no way that you could lose the money, irrespective of what happens to the rest of the banking system.

This idea is actually very close to the notion of "transaction accounts" that the Positive Money group has been proposing in the UK. Their idea is that the "current accounts" in the banking system should effectively be accounts held with the Bank of England. As with

In the current study, we investigated the psychometric properties of a Dutch translation of the posttraumatic growth inventory in a heterogeneous group of cancer patients. Its original five-factor structure was maintained. The internal consistency of the total scale, as well as its subdimensions, was satisfactory. As expected, the experience of posttraumatic growth was positively related to: emotional expression about the illness, openness to experience, and feelings of innerness. Furthermore, the scale appeared to be sensitive for the demographics age and gender. The experience of posttraumatic growth was not related to negative feelings such as avoidance, anxiety, depression, and neuroticism. Our Dutch translation of the instrument appeared to be a sound measure for the experience of

Biographical Note

Professor Daehler was born in Chadwick, Illinois in 1883. He graduated from the University of Illinois in 1908 and was an instructor there from 1910 until 1914. He became an assistant professor in 1914 and retained the rank until 1918 when he became an associate professor. Professor Daehler was a professor of English at Colorado College starting in 1919 and was associate professor of English until 1921 when he became a full professor. He was an exchange professor at Knox College during the first semester of 1938 and 1939.An ideal pathfinder on the Beatles' long and winding road from moptops to magi -- insightful, informative, contentious, and as ambitious and surprising as its heroes.

In count one of his libel he alleges "That on or about March 6, 1948 * * *, while a storm was in progress, libelant, in the performance of his duties, proceeded to secure the gear which was under his supervision, while going to the galley to secure the gear therein as aforesaid, libelant was forced to and did walk through water that had accumulated in libelant's quarters and in the passageway between libelant's quarters and the galley, and in so doing libelant's shoes and trousers became wet. While going up the stairs leading to the galley, libelant, by reason of his wet apparel and the wet galley steps, slipped and fell on the galley steps, causing an injury to his legs and knees; libelant pulled himself up$135,360 and respondent says he did not fall on the vessel and injure himself and that he is entitled to no recovery.

5
Libelant, a seaman, off and on, since 1912, was the chief cook on T. 2 Tanker Fort Stephenson, being employed in such capacity in February 1948. In that year, while he was a member of the crew, the ship made a coastwise voyage, from Port Amboy, New York, to Port Arthur, Texas, and return to Providence, Rhode Island. The day before reaching port at Providence, the alleged injury, about which he complains, occurred. He occupied an outside two-bunk cabin by himself. It was about six by nine feet in dimensions, and had a porthole equipped with a heavy glass cover about 2½ inches in thickness. The porthole


cover could be opened or closed and fastened with clamps to keep out sea water in rough weather. About eight o'clock on the evening of March 4th, 1948, there was a rough northeasterly sea with heavy swells. The sea water was shipping over the main deck of the ship fore and aft. By midnight the sea had moderated somewhat, but there was still rather a heavy northeasterly sea and swells.

6
About eleven o'clock that night, libelant was in the messroom having coffee and watching a card game. He then visited with the night cook in the latter's quarters for about a half hour, where he was told that his cabin deck was flooded. He then went to his cabin and found the floor covered with about six inches ofwater. Aided by a fellow crew member, named Sloane, he picked up his gear.

7
The porthole cover was open, according to Sloane's evidence and it was unfastened, according to that of the libelant, thus allowing sea water to enter the cabin.

8
Libelant testified that while picking up his gear he fell forward on his right knee in his cabin; that he sat on his bunk and then went to bed; that he got up later to go to the galley and while on his way to the galley he fell on the same knee on the stairway in the companionway. He said his knee caused him pain. "I imagine I hurt myself a little. I slipped there in the water, my shoes were wet."

9
He further stated that he reported the


injury to the master of the ship and also to the first mate the next morning. These officers said no such injury was reported by libelant; that he was a member of the crew and served aboard ship until the end of the voyage on March 6, 1948; that they saw him, the day following the alleged falls, walk through the payoff line and his appearance and manner of walking were the same as at all previous times during the voyage, although at the trial, libelant testified that his knee was swollen to ten inches in diameter.

10
When he left the ship at Providence, Rhode Island, he took a train to New York where he stayed over night and he then went by train to his home at Oshkosh,Wisconsin.

11
He did not ask for a hospital ticket before leaving the ship, nor did he seek any medical attention at Providence, New York, Chicago or Milwaukee in train stop-overs at those places, although marine hospital service was available to him in all those cities, which libelant admitted he knew. He said he telephoned to the Marine Hospital Clinic in New York, on Sunday, but no one answered. He knew that hospital was open twenty-four hours every day.

12
Libelant remained in Oshkosh from March 8 to April 19, 1948.

13
Libelant further testified that on April 19, 1948, his knee gave way while he was descending the back steps of his home in Oshkosh. He was then taken to Veterans Administration Hospital, at Wood, Wisconsin. At that time he was not employed


by respondent.

14
In February, 1951, long after his service on the Fort Stephenson, libelant slipped and fell on an icy sidewalk while employed as a civil service janitor at the Veterans Administration Hospital, at Wood, Wisconsin, injuring his knee. He made application for compensation for an accidental injury and has been receiving United States Employees Compensation in the sum of $119 per month since that accident.

15
The District Court found that: "the evidence is insufficient to show any causal connection between the fall and injury which occurred aboard the tanker, Fort Stephenson, and the fall which occurred on April 19, 1948, or the fall which occurred in February, 1951."

16
We think the record warrants that finding. We shall, therefore, confine our discussion to the claimed injury on the ship in Marchof 1948, and the question of maintenance and cure.

17
When libelant entered his cabin knowing of the water on the floor, he said he fell forward and landed on his right knee, and while bailing out the water, he fell again. He also testified that between the first and second falls he started to the galley, slipped on the steps "and I bruised my knee the third time — the second time." It developed that on discovery examination, he had testified that he fell on his right knee three times going up the steps and on the right knee twice in his cabin. The version of this incident which libelant told to the Veterans Administration Hospital, in giving the history of his injury, after he fell on April 19,


1948, was that he was "on a tanker, the front of which blew up," that he ran up on deck, slipped twice, injuring his right knee. At the trial he admitted this was not true. He said there was no explosion on the ship.

18
As we read the record, libelant's story was very vague and contradictory in many respects, as the trial court found.

19
Respondent claims libelant did not fall aboard ship and injure his knee, and stresses the issue of his veracity. Respondent made a serious attack on libelant's credibility, forcing him to admit ultimately that he had given false information to the Veterans Administration Hospital, at Wood, Wisconsin, and to his own doctor on April 19, 1948, that in fact no explosion occurred on the ship, causing himcause of his injury on board the tanker.

22
In its conclusions of law, the District Court said:

23
"Scuppers or drains in a cabin of a vessel which is occupied as sleeping quarters by the crew are required by law. (46 U.S.C.A. sec. 660-1)"

24
"The absence of a deadlight on the inside of the glass porthole cover is not negligence on the part of the shipowner, and was in no way related to the entry of water into libelant's quarters."

25
"There is no duty on the part of the officers of a vessel to inform an experienced seaman that the weather is rough or that there is a storm, such conditions being self-evident to all personnel aboard ship."

26
If the porthole cover had been closed and fastened, there would have been no flooding of


the cabin floor, and if the cabin had not been flooded, the libelant would not have been injured as he was. The duty to close the porthole in his cabin devolved upon the libelant. The trial court properly concluded:

27
"It was the duty of libelant to keep the porthole in his sleeping quarters closed in rough weather. Libelant was guilty of contributory negligence in failing to close the porthole in his quarters during rough weather, thereby permitting water to enter."

28
Even though scuppers may be required by law on a vessel such as the Fort Stephenson, their absence was not the proximate cause of libelant's falls and injury in his cabin. In meeting the burden of proving negligence on the part of respondent, libelant must prove not only that theremedies of the parties, and, in the case of a seaman, he takes the same risks of his calling as he did before under admiralty law. By the Jones Act he is given a right of action for the negligence of his employer which he did not have before, but the usual risks of the calling are not shifted on to the employer if the employer is guiltless of any fault."

30
When it appears, as it does here, that involved are only "the obvious and well-known risks of the business" then there is an absence of negligence in law. DeZon v. American President Lines, 318 U.S. 660-671, 63 S.Ct. 814, 87 L.Ed. 1065. Storms and heavy seas are "obvious and well known risks of the business" of all seamen.

The


who treated himself for about 44 days after his claimed injury occurred, except he said "on either the first or second of March or April, I can't remember" he visited the United States Public Health Clinic, in Milwaukee, where he was given some pills and told to keep hot applications on his knee by Dr. Hanson, which he said he did. The doctor in charge of the United States Public Health Clinic said they had no record of any such visit by libelant during March or April, 1948, and (9) he said he did not see a doctor in Oshkosh between the time he returned from New York until April 19, 1948, when his own doctor looked at his knee and told him to put hot applications onPlease turn on JavaScript.
