After being a staunch Java purist for several years, Jonathan stumbled upon Ruby on Rails in August 2004 and was immediately
impressed by the simplicity and productivity gains offered by this new web development framework.

Before being enamored with Ruby on Rails, Jonathan had worked on several diverse projects ranging from online financial portals,
real-time trading applications forJava enabled mobile devices and even rich user interfaces utilising Javascript and the

Currently Jonathan is working hard with a number of startups to help put the United Kingdom firmly on Web 2.0 map.

Ruby on Rails is the new darling of the web's digerati and has taken the web development world by storm. It can be found to power a large

Derek was Transport for London's Managing Director of Street Management and the chief architect of the Congestion Charge.
He was Chairman of the Institution of Civil Engineers Transport Board from 1999. In June 2003, he was awarded the CBE for
his services to transport in London.

After the business of the


Annual General Meeting, preceded as usual by a light cheese and wine buffet, Derek Turner will talk
about the technical and management challenges of the Transport for London Congestion Charge project.

With the Financial Times reporting in August 2006 that ministers expect powers to be introduced in the next parliamentary session to permit road-tolling across the UK, this should be a highly topical talk.

The congestion charging scheme was first introduced on 17 February 2003 after 75 years of policy work on road use pricing.
Once it was implemented, it took less than 2 weeks for the programme to settle down; the fear factor therefore evaporated
due to the rapid stabilization.

The team showed that "Enthusiasm" and a "can-do attitude" combined with the use of proven and effective, rather than leading
edge, technology can deliveran "impossible" project on time. They created a successful public-private partnership, harnessing
the strengths of both. The provision of many different ways for people to register and pay was important: the most used being
SMS via mobile phones, while payment over the counter is also popular and encourages people to use small shops, often run
by ethnic minorities. The team also learned that it was important to present the project to the public and the politicians
as part of an overall scheme; the public information campaign proved very valuable.

Story highlights The Al-Dhafra Camel Festival features a beauty contest for purebred camels

The animals are rated on criteria including posture, neck length and ear firmness

The event is intended to preserve aspects of Bedouin cultural heritage

It draws camel owners from many other countries throughout the region

A dusty track in the remote western region of the United Arab Emirates is one of the last places you'd expect to find a beauty pageant.

But the leggy, doe-eyed lovelies on parade here are of the four-legged variety.

The Al-Dhafra Camel Festival is a celebration of the ancient bond between humans and the "ships of the desert," which have traditionally provided Bedouins with food, clothing and transportation.

The highlight of the event, which draws more than 1,500 camel owners and 25,000 camels from all over theArabian Peninsula to Al-Dhafra, about 150km west of Abu Dhabi, is the camel beauty contest.

The judges in this high-stakes contest rate the animals -- the females of which are considered better looking -- on criteria including firmness of ear, straightness of leg and the size of their toe cleft.

It's a job he takes seriously, as the spoils of victory can be significant.

The festival is an important auction market for purebred camels, and as well as commanding high prices, award-winning specimens can confer immense prestige on their owners.

Nasser Al-Hajri, a wealthy Saudi oil contractor who has been a devoted collector of the animals for the past decade, is prepared to pay top dollar for the right camel.

"It's a competition between tribes," he explains of the hump-backed status symbols. "I want... the best camel to be owned by me."

He paidmilking, falconry and date packaging. There is also racing of purebred Arabian salukis, the slender sight-hound that is one of the world's most ancient breeds of domesticated dog, as well as handicrafts displays.

While the SUV has replaced the camel as a means of transportation in the modern Emirates, it's clear the animal retains an important place in the nation's heart.

"The camels helped our grandparents in the past," says Al Mazrouei. "Nowadays, we would like to give back to the camels and to absorb our culture."


Three Michigan firefighters used rope and their wits to rescue a 90-pound retriever that fell through the ice about 100 yards from shore on a western Michigan lake.

Wearing ice rescue gear and tethered together, they carefully walked onto White Lake in Muskegon County's Whitehall and hauled the dog to safety.

White Lake Fire Chief Gregory Holman said the dog was unable to drag itself from the hole in the ice and was in distress when firefighters reached it Wednesday morning.

Holman said his firefighters will do their "best to rescue" a "family pet, like a dog."

The 14-year-old dog was given to an area shelter and its owner was later located. Shelter owner Lana Carson said the dog "kind of wandered off and found itself on the ice."The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) is delighted to announce that it has signed the United Nations (UN) Sports for Climate Action Framework as part of its ongoing efforts to promote cycling as one of the world’s most environmentally friendly sports.

The UN’s Sports for Climate Action Framework brings together more than 100 International Federations, other sports governing bodies, competitions, franchises and teams – including the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the international governing bodies for football, rugby and Formula 1 – to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from sport. In line with the Paris Climate Agreement, this Framework harnesses the cultural influence of sport to galvanise global action on climate change. The Framework was co-created by UN Climate Change and the IOC, and launched by the two organisations in December

Title IX: More Than Just Sports

Recently, several former members of the University of Tennessee Volunteers female training staff sued the University for violating their Title IX rights. While many people may have been caught up with Peyton Manning’s name in the filing, others were probably confused about why Title IX was invoked at all. After all, Title IX is concerned with female athletes having the opportunity to receive scholarships for playing collegiate sports, right? Partly, but it can also be invoked in cases where a woman feels her rights have been infringed upon, notably in the context of a number of high-profile sexual assault cases at major universities. Read on to find out the whole scope of the landmark statute and what role it is playing in potentially


punishing universities for their actions.

What is Title IX?

Title IX is actually a section of the Educational Amendments that were passed in 1972. The purpose of these amendments was to prevent discrimination on the basis of sex in all federally-funded education programs and activities. Title IX states:

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

Since its inception, the law has been the basis for numerous amendments, reviews, political actions, and even Supreme Court cases. While Title IX is primarily discussed in the context of athletics, there are several other areas that the law regulates.

In regard to athletics, Title IX regulations requireschools to give women the same amount of access as they do for men. Once it became law, Title IX had a measurable effect on female participation in sports. The law ensures that all schools provide equitable opportunities for both male and female sports including availability, resources, and scholarships. In 1972, when the law went into effect, only about 295,000 girls played sports at the high school level in the United States. Fast-forward to 2011 and that number has risen to 3.2 million. Additionally, the number of women receiving athletic scholarships went from zero to 200,000 over the same period.

The opportunity to participate in athletic programs has significant consequences beyond access for women who want to participate. In fact, increased participation has also been associated with increased graduation


rates, healthier lives, and diminished trouble with the law.

The video below gives an overview of the effects of Title IX in sports:

Criticism of Title IX

While Title IX has clearly had a significant impact on female participation in athletics and equality in education more generally, the law still has its critics. On one side are those who complain that Title IX is still not doing enough to prevent discrimination. This group’s argument began almost immediately after the law’s inception when it was weakly enforced and nearly eliminated thanks to the 1984 Supreme Court decision inGrove City vs. Bell. Even as the law started to be more rigorously enforced after Congress passed the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1987, women at all levels of athletics still have much lower rateshow to deal with sexual assault complaints. As these steps show, these schools under investigation have been repeatedly reminded of their responsibilities, yet many high profiles cases have come up recently.

The incident involving Peyton Manning and the University of Tennessee is a perfect example of the difficulties surrounding these types of cases. The case began all the way back in 1997 with a lawsuit against Manning and the University of Tennessee. It continued with another lawsuit against Manning in 2003, after the release of his autobiography in which he depicted one of the women involved unfavorably. The newest lawsuit that was filed earlier this year shows how long the process surrounding these cases can last. In the meantime, the woman who accused Manning had to agree to leave


the school, while the university won a national championship and he was able to enjoy a long and storied career. According to the suit, instead of protecting victims, the school actually created an environment that was hostile to them.

This is certainly not the only controversial incident. Another high-profile incident involved former Florida State University quarterback and current Tampa Bay Buccaneers player Jameis Winston. In 2012, a female student sued Florida State for its investigation of her rape complaint against Winston and its “deliberate indifference” throughout the process. FSU’s poor handling of the case also led her to file a lawsuit. The civil suit against the school was resolved this year when FSU paid a $950,000 settlement. The alleged victim has also filed a civil suit against Winston; heThe Philadelphia 76ers’ Struggles Continue

On Wednesday night the Philadelphia 76ers were defeated by the Chicago Bulls 102-94 at Wells Fargo Center, which gives the team their 22nd consecutive loss of the season. The Sixers are four losses shy of matching the NBA record for the longest single-season losing streak. The Cleveland Cavaliers currently own the record with 26 consecutive losses during the 2010-11 season. The Sixers also lost their 17th consecutive home game since beating Charlotte on Jan. 15. They were 8-11 at home at that point and had already defeated the Miami Heat, Chicago Bulls, and Houston Rockets in Philadelphia.

OPINION OF THE COURT
BECKER, Circuit Judge.

1
This is an appeal from an order of the district court imposing heavy sanctions upon a law firm, several of its partners, and its client for discovery violations in connection with a large environmental lawsuit.  The client, Esso, is charged in the underlying complaint with having "poisoned the wells" in the Estate Tutu area in the eastern end of St. Thomas by releasing from the Esso Tutu service station petroleum hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocarbons into the Tutu aquifer which supplies drinking water to much of the east end of the island.  The discovery abuse primarily involves the alleged suppression by Esso's former counsel in the litigation, the San Juan, Puerto Rico law firm of Goldman, Antonetti, Ferraiuoli & Axtmayer, of afederal government, began an investigation into possible contamination of the Tutu aquifer.  Investigators discovered the presence of gasoline and chlorinated organics in the aquifer.  Government officials thereafter closed many of the wells.

11
The discovery of the contamination led to a number of private lawsuits.  Detailed explication of the anatomy of the various suits is unnecessary;  it is sufficient to note that the private litigation seeks to assign responsibility for the contamination between and among a number of possible contaminators, including but not limited to two automobile service stations, an automobile dealer, a shopping plaza, a dry cleaner, and a former textile plant.  That private litigation also includes claims for contribution under CERCLA.  The parties in the litigation include both possible contaminators and businesses


to the Environmental Testing and Certification Corp.  ("ETC") for analysis.  ETC returned the results of the investigation to Soil Tech shortly thereafter.  The results revealed some contamination.  Jose Agrelot, President of Soil Tech, received the preliminary results and summarized them in a memorandum, which he forwarded to Goldman Antonetti in anticipation of a meeting in January 1990.  ETC produced the final results of the testing shortly after the meeting had occurred.  Agrelot testified that he discussed the memorandum with attorneys at Goldman Antonetti, including Jose Cepeda and Francis Torres.  It is not clear from the record, however, whether Cepeda ever actually saw the Agrelot memorandum at that time.  The results were also discussed at a May, 1990 meeting at whichSee id. at 65-66.   At all events, only after Agrelot had searched his files in the fall of 1993 to assist Esso in negotiating a case management order did he find the memorandum and turn it over to Esso, who revealed it to its new counsel Archer & Greiner.  It was Archer & Greiner that finally notified the other parties of its existence.

16
The third category of violations occurred in connection with an attempted inspection underneath the surface of the ETSS site.  In particular, the plaintiffs wished to determine whether an underground storage tank was located on the site, and also to trace the pipes leading out of the oil/water separator located on the site.  The parties refer to this aspect of the discovery


as the "anomaly investigation."   In May, 1992, the plaintiffs employed ground penetrating radar ("GPR") to examine the area beneath the ETSS.  The GPR turned up an anomalous shadow in the corner of the site, possibly indicating the presence of an underground storage tank.  Esso claimed that the GPR produced a false result because of interference from overhead power lines or from a reinforcing bar in a nearby retaining wall.  The magistrate judge ultimately ordered an excavation of the site to determine once and for all if such a tank existed.  It did not.

17
Excavation of the site was to occur in accordance with the magistrate judge's order.  However, according to the district court, Esso failed to comply with this order.  Seeby Raw Blend – Duration: 4:20.

Malta and its Catholic legacy

Churches in Malta

Malta’s religious legacy has spurred village festas that add a unique touch to Malta’s culture and heritage.

It happened 2,000 years ago that St Paul was shipwrecked on the Islands of Malta - more specifically, on a smaller island now known as St Paul’s Island between Mistra and Mgiebah bays. It is this event that is credited with bringingRoman Catholicism to Malta – a religion that would remain firmly established for millennia to come.

When ruled by the Knights of St John, a Christian order, the Islands were seen as a defensive outpost against the advancement of Islam. This led to the bloody siege of 1565, an event that would galvanise Maltese faith in the cross well up till the Islands gained independence in 1964.

The 1964 constitution entrenched the Roman Catholic faith as the religion of Malta, granting the authorities of the church the right and the duty to provide religious teachings in schools while at the same time guaranteeing every citizen the right to freedom of worship regardless of religion.

In modern Malta, Catholicism is still ubiquitous. Village festas, as pagan as they may appear, still revolve


around the worship of a patron saint. Schools, whether public or private, still have mandatory religious teachings, and in general, parents still take the celebrations of their children’s sacraments very seriously.

The Church is also an active participant in social and political debates. Most recently, Malta introduced divorce legislation which the church was vociferously opposed to. The church’s views on the dignity of life also shape Malta’s approach to other legislation, including in vitro fertilisation and abortion – the latter being illegal in Malta.

Modern Catholic Malta has changed somewhat since the years when the Church had a strong hold on everyday life. While the Maltese are still considered a highly catholic nation with around half the population attending weekly mass regularly, the Islands are seeing a decline in supportTokyo: Construction of the high-speed train corridor between Mumbai and Ahmedabad will start in 2018 and the train service will be operational from 2023, said Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whose country will be building the rail network.

At a joint press conference with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Abe said the designing of the project will begin by the end of this year. He said the ambitious project “symbolises a new dimension in the special relations" between the two countries.

Abe hoped that introduction of the rapid train network will spur further economic growth in India as he recalled that such a thing had happened in Japan when high speed rail system ‘Shinkansen’ was introduced in 1964.

Modi will be travelling by Shinkansen train, whose speed ranges from 240 kms per


The continued growth of the Enron Europe office and related businesses has
prompted a change in the management of Risk Assessment and Control (RAC) in
London. Effective in early January, 2001, Ted Murphy will transfer to the
London office and mange the RAC activities which include credit and market
risk and underwriting. Ted will continue to manage the Enron Global Market
Risk activities. Steve Young, currently managing RAC in London, will begin a
new assignment within  EBS, also in London.

The Houston Market Risk group will be managed by David Port

As Enron continues to expand its trading and risk management businesses, it
is vital that trading and credit policies are administered in a consistent
and accurate manner across the company. Hopefully this realignment will
accomplish that goal.

PleaseFall 2011 LLM in International Law Class Descriptions

This year's edition of the course focuses on French legal culture, one of the most influential legal models in history. It examines the way in which French judges, lawyers, and academics think about the law and about the role of law in society. It also considers the impact of Europeanization of law on French ways. The course seeks to achieve two main goals. First, it wants to equip the U.S. law student with a grasp of what can be surprisingly different sets of assumptions and, through this familiarization, to facilitate eventual interaction on the international legal and business scene. Secondly, it seeks to enhance critical reflection on U.S. law. This 2-credit course is taught from mid-August until late September and the


harmonization to provide US law students with an overview of some of the central aspects of European commercial law. The course focuses on the practical legal problems facing an American enterprise doing business in Europe but at the same time provides for a basic understanding of the EU legal framework. After a brief general introduction to EU law the course falls in two parts. Part I deals with the transfer of goods and covers such topics as general contract law (PECL Principles of European Contract Law), the EC directive on Unfair Contract Terms, the EC directive on Products Liability and central liability rules related to the transportation of goods. Part II deals with the trade in intangible rights notably patents and trademarks. This part opens with a generalpresentation of the European systems for the protection of inventions and trademarks. It then moves on to discuss aspects relating to the exercise of those rights in regard to the Treaty rules on the free movement of goods (“parallel importation” and the principle of “exhaustion of rights”) and to tech-trans agreements and other issues involving competition law. The course requires no prior knowledge of European law. This class will have a final examination. (Class meets from October 11 – 27, 2011.) Information on course material will follow.

Constitutional law is increasingly becoming a shared enterprise which transcends the borders of the nation-state. Supreme Court Justices correspond with each other in their judicial opinions, draw upon each others work, and share


financing contracts, and resolution of private sales and investment disputes. Regulatory aspects of international transactions, including export licensing, regulatory jurisdiction, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, will also be considered. The focus will be transactional, with attention to the structure of private relationships and the anticipation and avoidance of litigation.

Note: This is a required course for the International Law Concentration (JD).

Legal aspects of contracts for the international sale of goods under the UN Convention. Topics include the applicability of the convention and its most important substantive provisions including contract formation, choice of forum, choice of law, warranties, risk of loss, excuse and dispute resolution.

Between 1980 and 1988, Chemetron was involved in periodic clean-up efforts at both the Harvard Avenue and Bert Avenue sites at the direction of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC"), with some involvement by the federal and Ohio Environmental Protection Agencies. The presence of hazardous materials at the Bert Avenue dump and these efforts to clean up the area received considerable local attention beginning shortly after its discovery in 1980. The local press reported on these cleanup efforts for the next decade. Town meetings were held in which environmental officials explained the situation to area residents. A community watchdog group formed that distributed a questionnaire to everyone in the neighborhood requesting information about contact with the dump and medical conditions suffered. The mayor's office sent out a newsletter


the Bankruptcy Code. Following Bankruptcy Rule 3003(c)(3), the bankruptcy court issued a bar date order, fixing the claims bar date at May 31, 1988. Under bankruptcy law, the bar date is the last day on which existing claims can be filed against the debtor. The bar date order required that actual notice be provided to all persons known to have claims against the debtors. The order required notice to all other claimants by publication in the national editions of the New York Times and Wall Street Journal. Chemetron complied with the order and, in addition, voluntarily published notice in seven other newspapers in areas where it was doing business at the time of the filing. On July 12, 1990, the bankruptcy court confirmed Chemetron's reorganization plan.

9
Nevertheless, Jones andthe other plaintiffs assert in affidavits that they were unaware of the degree of risk posed to their health and safety by the contaminated site until after reading about a 1991 federal lawsuit filed against Chemetron in Cleveland by other local residents. Only then, the plaintiffs assert, did they contact lawyers, who proceeded to gather their medical records, have these records analyzed by physicians, and subsequently report to the plaintiffs that their health problems resulted from the contamination.

10
In March 1992, almost four years after the claims bar date and twelve years after the first newspaper articles reported on contamination at the sites, Phyllis Jones and ultimately twenty other individuals brought suit against Chemetron, McGean Chemical Co., and McGean-Rohco, Inc., in the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga County,


following pertinent findings:

15
[Chemetron's cleanup] efforts were not satisfactory  according to reports by the NRC. However, in the  summer and early fall of 1980, several newspaper  articles were published in the Cleveland Plain Dealer  and Cleveland Press regarding the contamination and  the concerns expressed by the residents of the area.  Specifically, articles appeared in the Cleveland Plain  Dealer on 7/9/80, 9/5/80, 9/10/80, 9/12/80,  11/21/80 and 11/21/80. The Cleveland Press also had  an article on July 8, 1980. In particular, one article reported on a town meeting held in September of 1980  to address residents concerns about the levels of  radiation in the area. The article indicated that six  members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission as well as approximately 80 people from the community were  in attendance. The residents were informed that while  levels of radiation were present on the Chemetron and  McGean properties, the levels were not high enough to  cause harm.

16
In addition to the potential dangers being reported in  the newspapers, members of the community organized  and formed the Concerned Citizens of Newburgh  Heights. This association prepared and distributed a  community health survey which stated that the citizens  were working to remove the danger of hazardous waste  from the community.

17
Several investigative and administrative agencies  were involved in the assessment and cleanup efforts in  conjunction with the NRC including the U.S.  Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), the Ohio  Environmental Protection Agency


to investigate the cause of their injuries. In support of this contention, however, the plaintiffs primarily argue that notwithstanding press accounts, community meetings and newsletters from the mayor's office, they personally were unaware of the danger posed by the dump. Moreover, they claim that Chemetron contributed to their obliviousness because it knew what chemicals were present at the dump, but lied to the community about it.

32
As the bankruptcy court observed, the Ohio Supreme Court has superimposed on the "discovery rule" a "reasonable investigation" requirement, which essentially acts to end the tolling of the statute of limitations prior to actual discovery of the nature and cause of a putative plaintiff 's injury at the time he or she should have discovered this information through the exercise of reasonable diligence.Two WPD officers honored for sacrifice

Scott Morrison has dismissed, yet not denied, what he called "gossip" about Hillsong pastor Brian Houston.

Key points: The Wall Street Journal reported Mr Morison had wanted Mr Houston to be with him at some events

The Wall Street Journal reported Mr Morison had wanted Mr Houston to be with him at some events Mr Houston said he was never contacted by Mr Morrison and called the story "baseless rumours"

Mr Houston said he was never contacted by Mr Morrison and called the story "baseless rumours" The PM's office said all invitations to the state dinner at the White House were issued at the discretion of the hosts

The Wall Street Journal first reported the Prime Minister had wanted Mr Houston to be with him at some events during his current statevisit to the United States, but the request was rejected by White House officials during the planning process.

When asked questions about whether the report was true, Mr Morrison did not dispute the facts of the story.

"I don't comment on gossip, honestly," he said.

"It's all gossip."

When repeatedly asked to clarify what he meant by "gossip", he added:

"I think I've answered the question."

The Prime Minister's office had earlier said all invitations to Friday night's state dinner in the White House rose garden were issued at the discretion of the hosts.

However, for this sort of large, carefully stage-managed formal event it is standard for guest lists to be discussed by officials on both sides ahead of time.

Mr Houston, the founder of the Hillsong Church, was censured by the Royal Commission into


the Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse.

It found Mr Houston had failed a victim by not reporting allegations against his father, Frank, to police. Frank Houston, who died in 2004, confessed to sexually abusing a boy in New Zealand.

The younger Mr Houston has had a long relationship with the Prime Minister.

Mr Morrison addressed the opening of the evangelical church's annual conference weeks after his election win earlier this year.

He and his wife, Jenny, have often attended the event. They are members of a different Pentecostal Christian church.

On Twitter and in a statement, Mr Houston rejected the story about his apparent White House snub and said he never had any plans to be inWashington.

"The PM never contacted me about this and I know nothing about it," he wrote.

"As far as I'm concerned this is a baseless rumour and totally false news.

"Attempts to link this untrue story to the royal commission are unconscionable."

Several senior members of the Trump administration describe themselves as conservative Christians and the US cabinet even has a White House bible study group.

Vice-President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos reportedly are members.

They also occasionally speak about their religious faith in public.

For example, during an interview with a Christian broadcaster in March, Mr Pompeo said it was "possible" that President Trump was sent by God to save Israel from Iran.


Trump, Nikki Haley to share US spotlight at UN gathering – Reuters

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) – When President Donald Trump takes the world stage at the United Nations for the first time this week, he will share the spotlight with his envoy Nikki Haley, who has emerged as the surprising public face of U.S. foreign policy.

Haley, the 45-year-old former South Carolina governor, has proven to be a high-profile member of Trump’s administration, at times overshadowing Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, the former chief executive of Exxon Mobil Corp, despite her lack of previous foreign policy experience, diplomats say.

“For the U.S., Nikki Haley is remarkable. It’s hard to find in the Trump administration. It’s someone who is very approachable and politically very assertive,” said a senior European diplomat, speaking onboth tough and smart.

He speaks regularly with Haley, his fellow Republican, one U.S. administration official said.

HER BLUNTNESS RAISES EYEBROWS

Twice in five weeks she persuaded the 15-member U.N. Security Council to unanimously boost sanctions on North Korea. Her blunt language has raised eyebrows among diplomats.

At the same time she has been careful not to steal the limelight from Trump, a wealthy businessman and former reality television star.

“I personally think he slaps the right people, he hugs the right people, and he comes out with the U.S. being very strong in the end,” Haley told White House reporters on Friday.

U.S. President Donald Trump waves as he arrives at Morristown municipal airport for a weekend at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster ahead of next week’s United Nations General Assembly,


asked Haley’s opinion about what strategy to pursue.

“She gave her opinion, and he liked her point of view,” the official said. “She wasn’t afraid to speak up.”

A senior Iranian official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said, “This lady for some reason is very angry with Iran.”

Before her selection as ambassador, Haley made national headlines when as governor she led a successful effort to remove the Confederate battle flag, viewed by many as a racist emblem, from the grounds of the South Carolina state capitol after the killing of nine black churchgoers in her state.

During the 2016 presidential campaign Haley sparred with Trump, backing one of his rivals before he became the Republican candidate. The daughter of immigrants from India, Haley took Trump to task over his harsh campaignrhetoric about illegal immigration and for not speaking forcefully enough against white supremacists.

When last month Trump inflamed tensions by saying that counter-protesters were also to blame for a deadly rally by white nationalists in Virginia, Haley spoke up, telling U.S. media she had a “personal conversation” with him about it.

Without naming Trump she wrote to staff at the U.S. mission to the United Nations to say that everyone must stand up and condemn hate.

not believe any party should serve more than two consecutive terms in office. Labour, meanwhile, is highlighting its Youth Community Action scheme, launched last month in five pilot areas, which aims to encourage more 14 to 16-year-olds to do local voluntary work. The Liberal Democrats are focusing on plans to make it easier for parents to get flexible working hours, and £2.5bn of extra funding to target the one million poorest and most educationally disadvantaged children. The Tory leader says he has been working on the national citizen service scheme since August 2005, during which time pilot programmes have been run in London, Wales and north-west England. The Conservatives say they have the backing of the Prince's Trust and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, and if elected, wouldseek for the scheme to be operated across the UK by independent charities, social enterprises and businesses. Mr Cameron added that he wanted to give young people "more to aspire to" and help do more to end "the national scandal of all this wasted promise". 'Big Society' He admitted that his initial proposal for the citizen service scheme was for it to be compulsory, "but youth leaders told me that would have been the kiss of death". So instead, while the scheme will be available to every 16-year-old in the UK, it will be voluntary. The Conservatives say the idea forms part of its "Big Society" plans - reducing the size of government to give individuals, charities and other private bodies a larger role in society. BBC chief

Cracking Grand Canyon's Rock Code

Boulder, CO, USA – In a new book published by The Geological Society of America, editors J. Michael Timmons of the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources and Karl E. Karlstrom of the University of New Mexico, along with several individual chapter authors, describe the rock record of Grand Canyon and illustrate its complexity. For them, Grand Canyon, one of the premier geologic landscapes in the world, carries within its structure intriguing mysteries of time and space.

Compared to the vast history of Earth's evolution, the U.S. Grand Canyon, carved by the Colorado River and its tributaries, is believed to be relatively young. Yet, according to Timmons and Karlstrom, the canyon's rock record provides a unique sense of the "vastness of


deep time."

Timmons, Karlstrom, and introductory chapter co-author Laura J. Crossey of the University of New Mexico write that while Grand Canyon is a "superb geologic laboratory for understanding geologic history," there is "more time that is not recorded by the rocks in Grand Canyon than that is recorded."

Missing episodes reflect erosion, and to comprehend the nature and extent of that erosion is to begin to put the pieces together to tell the complete story of the canyon. As Karlstrom and Timmons write, "The geologic record has been described as a 'fishnet,' where the twine of the net is the rock record and the holes are the time missing." The missing time, the holes, are called "unconformities."

The unconformities, including what geologists, beginning with John Wesley Powell in 1875, callGrand Canyon's Great Unconformity, were created by past geologic events, such as "vanished mountain ranges, cryptic uplift events, and unsung earthquakes."

In the volume’s introduction, Timmons, Karlstrom, and Crossey describe the record that can be seen in the canyon walls—three distinct series: (1) 270- to 525-million-year-old horizontal sedimentary rock layers that make up the upper strata throughout the canyon and represent multiple episodes of marine incursion and retreat from the continental interior; (2) 750,000-year-old to 1.2-million-year-old tilted rock layers, well preserved in fault blocks of eastern Grand Canyon, called the Grand Canyon Supergroup, revealing discrete episodes of sedimentation and tectonism; and (3) the oldest rocks, in the depths of the canyon—the igneous and metamorphic rocks that record the formation and modification of the region's continental crust, 1,660 to 1,840

The Nomura Model Kits

As the only company other than Bandai to mass-produce plastic Yamato model kits, Nomura Toy earns special recognition, especially given the high quality of the four models they released in November, 1978. Here to provide that recognition is a superstar of modeling culture, Makoto (“Max”) Watanabe, founder of one of Japan’s first and best-known “garage kit” companies. This testimonial originally appeared in B-Club Magazine issue #37, published by Bandai Media in 1988.

My Life Changed with Yamato

by Makoto Watanabe
Translated by Earnest Migaki, edited by Tim Eldred

These completed models were built when I had just entered High School. They’ll be antiques pretty soon. At the time, while being involved with water polo, I was also busy as a member of the Manga Research Club, and whenship, namely the belly, how the connections gathered around the engine compartments, as well as the region around the opening of the Wave Gun. It may not be as sleek as the Bandai version, but I still like the way the entire package is put together. This kit sold for just 500 yen at the time.

If you look down the opening of the Wave-Motion Gun (which is similar to Yamato’s) you’ll notice the design is pretty much the same. The proportion is excellent. I was wonderfully surprised by the beauty and magnificence of the mold, as well as the sharpness of the antenna parts.

The large version used clear parts in various places. The bow, the bridge and the turrets all had different parts using predetermined colored plastic that

: Khashoggi was wearing an Apple Watch on his person when he entered the consulate, which allegedly recorded his final moments of life. This claim appeared in Sabah, another pro-Erdogan Turkish newspaper. “A well-placed source” : the Saudis used a “very fast-acting chemical acid” to dissolve Khashoggi’s body at the embassy. This claim appeared in Sky News and the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet, once Turkey’s premier impartial news source but sincehas been relegated to the background of the affair.

Just two weeks ago, when Khashoggi’s location was still a guaranteed known, much of the international human rights community and the free world was united in condemning Erdogan’s government for making the exercise of the press impossible without political retribution. As the PEN International group notes on its website, Erdogan has shut down over 180 media outlets since July 2016, when he claimed supporters of Islamic cleric Fethullah Gülen attempted a coup d’etat against him. Similarly, over 150 journalists are currently in prison in Turkey for crimes ranging from “insulting the president” to “terrorism,” most falsely accused of ties to Gülen or terrorist groups such as the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK).

The biggest crackdown occurred in the aftermath of the coup.


Between July and August 2016, nearly 100,000 people – journalists, teachers, soldiers, and other government employees – were detained, arrested, or fired from their jobs for unsubstantiated ties to the failed coup.

Turkey’s oldest and most staunchly anti-Erdogan, pro-secularist publication, Cumhuriyet, was among the media outlets hardest hit.

Erdogan failed in shutting down Cumhuriyet, but everyone from the editor-in-chief to the cafeteria cook at that organization has faced prosecution over opposition to Erdogan. Former editor-in-chief Can Dündar was arrested in 2016, along with Istanbul bureau chief Erdem Gül, for publishing an article with evidence indicating Erdogan’s government had secretly shipped weapons to Sunni rebels in Syria. Both were found guilty. An assassin, claiming vengeance for Erdogan, attempted to shoot and kill Dündar at the steps of the courthouse where heoccurred separately from the arrest of Şenol Buran, the head cook at Cumhuriyet‘s office cafeteria. Buran was arrested for stating that, if Erdogan walked into his cafeteria, he would not serve him a cup of tea.

Ahmet Şık, one of the detained Cumhuriyet editors, referred to Turkey as the “biggest journalists’ prison in the world” in 2017.

The Committee to Protect Journalists agreed. In December, the group published its annual press freedom report, finding that “despite releasing some journalists in 2017, Turkey remains the world’s worst jailer for the second consecutive year, with 73 journalists behind bars, compared with 81 last year.” Cumhuriyet is just the largest on a long list of targets, and one of the few that has withstood pressure to shut down.

Reporters Without Borders, referring to the


prosecutors fabricate charges against people they consider threats to Erdogan that hits closer to home, one need only to turn to the events of this weekend. Andrew Brunson, an American pastor living for 26 years in Izmir, finally returned home Saturday after being arrested in 2016 for alleged ties to Gülen and Marxist Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). Brunson is neither a Muslim Gülen devotee nor a Marxist Kurd and the Turkish government provided no reliable evidence alleging so to the U.S. government during his prolonged detention. Only after an extended sanctions regime severely crippled the Turkish government did the country release Brunson, still refusing to deliver on the evidence Washington insisted was necessary to keep him behind bars.

Turkey’s tainted record as a jailer of reporters and serial lawNatural constants as the main protagonists

On the occasion of their 26th General Conference on Weights and Measures (Conférence Générale des Poids et Mesures, CGPM) on 16 November 2018 in Versailles, the signatory states of the Metre Convention resolved to fundamentally reform the International System of Units (SI). This resolution stipulates that, in the future, all SI units will be based on the values laid down for seven selected natural constants. In passing this resolution, the General Conference has followed a recommendation issued by the International Committee on Weights and Measures (Comité international des poids et mesures, CIPM) – the world's supreme expert committee on metrology. The new definitions of the units will come into force on 20 May 2019, World Metrology Day.

In principle, the idea of defining units


everyday life. In contrast, progress for the scientific community will take effect as soon as the new definitions have been adopted. In technological fields, progress will become evident in the long run. Another advantage speaks for itself: natural constants are universally valid. The new SI has thus established a universal language that the international community has now agreed to use.

Background information:

In the middle of the 19th century, international trade with technical goods, which had been triggered by the industrial revolution, started thriving. At the time, the industrialized nations quickly realized that a uniform, international system of measurement would be crucial to promoting international trade. In 1875, 17 leading industrialized nations (with Germany among them) decided to introduce an international system of measurement based on the meter (m), thekilogram (kg) and the second (s). Their decision was sealed in the form of a diplomatic treaty, the Metre Convention. In this treaty, it was agreed that a permanent scientific institution, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) was to be set up to realize the international weights and measures in the form of material measures, disseminate them to the member states and conduct research & development in order to improve these measurement standards – an activity this institution is still pursuing today. The International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM) was established as a supervisory entity; it is composed of 18 international experts. The International Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) was created to represent the member states. A supreme committee, the CGPM, elects the members

Escaping from danger is something that all animals have to do to survive...What is important is that the brain has a mechanism for detecting the danger and responding to it appropriately and quickly... This is as true of a human animal as of a slimy reptile. And... evolution has seen fit to pretty much leave well enough alone inside the brain when it comes to these functions.

LeDoux (1996)

When danger appears in whatever shape or guise – the hooves of a bull suddenly pounding in what was thought to be a safe field full of cows, or the sight of a boss we don't trust – messages are sent coursing through the brain along two differentsimilar to those seen in fMRI studies of physical pain. Interestingly, the results also indicated that when participants believed they were excluded through the computer glitch and not through the deliberate actions of the other players, they were by and large able to successfully regulate their feelings of distress. Physical and social pain seem to be affected by both social support and underlying neurochemicals. From a bio-psycho-social perspective it really does 'hurt' to lose someone we love (Eisenberger et al, 2003).

## Cooperation and collaboration

When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion.

Dale Carnegie (1937)

Great leaders seem to have an intuitive understanding of the significance of relationships. On 5 March 1946 Winston Churchill stood to address an audience at Westminster College


the School of Education at Harvard under the professor of education and organizational behaviour, Chris Argyris, one of the founding luminaries of the concept of the learning organization.

On the basis of a semantic reductionist approach using 100 data sets from managers within one organization, Phillip Cousins and Diane Downs derived an 11 element model that they proposed was the necessary and sufficient means of describing any organization or any part of it. In subsequent beta-testing over a large number of organizations and situations it has proved remarkably robust. A description of it in use has been published by Brown (2010).

Named 'Sofi' for 'Spheres of Influence', the model describes how an organization works using 11 different elements, or spheres (Figure 7.1). In the model, all the spheres influence eachbe that women will remember the details of an experience related to emotion, whereas men will only remember the gist of it (Medina, 2009).

A second important implication is that men and women are likely to prefer different organizational structures. Men may be more comfortable in hierarchical structures that have clear goals and a directive communication style. Women on the other hand tend to excel in multifaceted flat organizations that allow open discussion and involvement.

Requiring women to function within male-defined operational systems may be a stressor that could begin to acquire serious legal attention as these findings start filtering into commercial consciousness.

Such objections to the bill, currently going through Parliament, are the latest among many. There have been protests outside Parliament and prominent figures such as Joan Bakewell and Brian Paddick, a former Met police chief, have objected in the House of Lords.

The government says the law is necessary because the law has failed to keep up with the emergence of new drugs, many of which can be harmful.

On January 5, 1966, Butler, allegedly in response to a request by Jung, went to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, to meet with some of the nonresident guarantors for discussions about the lease and guaranty. Butler further stated that at least one guarantor, whose identity he could not remember, later traveled to Illinois for further negotiations. All guarantors denied having gone to Illinois. Next Butler met in Miami, Florida, with several of the guarantors, who were also officials of the newly formed corporation. A lease agreement was signed there on January 13, 1966, by the president of World Travelers. At this time it was agreed that a guaranty containing signatures


of all the proposed guarantors would be delivered to Air Lease in Chicago before payment for the aircraft would be made. Thereafter, on January 17, the lease, which had already been signed by the officer of World Travelers, was executed by the president of Air Lease at its offices in Chicago. The lease provided for monthly payments to be made at Chicago, or at another place designated by the lessor. Subsequently, a guaranty, signed by the thirteen defendants and dated January 5, 1966, was delivered to Air Lease in Chicago. The guaranty provided that it "shall be construed according to the law of the State of Illinois, in which State it shall be performed. * * *" Air Lease later assigned the lease to plaintiff, O'Hare International Bank,Buick Riviera Concept

Buick brings its Shanghai showstopper to North America.

Buick uses the Detroit auto show to show us what gets the Chinese market all fired up: the Riviera concept that was designed and engineered in China and made its world debut at the 2007 Shanghai auto show.

And although Buick has made no formal production announcement, we expect the concept's new hybrid powertrain and a coupe strongly resembling this one will enter production for both the Chinese and American markets.

The new Riv is a made-in-China design, courtesy of the Pan Asia Technical Automotive Center, a joint venture between GM and Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC). GM claims that inspiration comes from the original Y-Job concept of 1938 and the LeSabre, Electra 225, and Riviera coupes of the 1960s and


'70s, although you really have to squint to see any of them in the new Riviera's curvy bod.

At 185.4 inches long, with a 112.9-inch wheelbase and riding on 21-inch, 10-spoke forged aluminum wheels, the gullwing car is the most striking thing to wear Buick's three shields since the sexy Velite concept convertible from 2004, which influenced the Riviera concept. And although we're sure the doors won't make it past the show circuit, General Motors says the concept represents Buick's global design direction for its next generation of mid-size luxury cars.

The two-plus-two-seater features carbon-fiber body panels, including the doors, which boast a 76-inch wingspan and cast the word "Buick" on the ground at night when opened.

Back then, going out for a hamburger was a big deal, and many people can still recall their first, clandestine, date at a Mr. Burger.

It was only a matter of time before the fad caught on, and Mr. Burger was hot.

For some.

For many years, the average working or middle class Pakistani was unable to afford Mr. Burger. So the word “burgers” came to describe young, westernized, urban elite, who studied at expensive schools, spoke English rather than Urdu and preferred eating burgers rather than local cuisine. They were derided for being out of touch with mainstream Pakistani society.

EBC Brakes

Founded in 1978, the EBC Brakes Group is still a private company owned exclusively by the current managing director Andy Freeman.

EBC Brakes has grown to be a worldwide group with strengths in every area of the brake industry - pioneers in the true sense of the word.

Having successfully dominated the motorcycle industry with majority market shares in most western markets, EBC Brakes has developed a huge range of brakes for mountain bikes, automobiles, race and rally cars, vans, trucks, buses, commercial vehicles and even mainline locomotives.

Being also the last truly independent British friction materials manufacturer, EBC Brakes has manufacturing facilities in Northampton & Bristol, England as well as Cleveland and Ohio in the United States. EBC products are distributed throughout the world with distributors in many countries.

WhatEBC Says...

For over twenty years now, EBC has been the dominant force in motorcycle brakes all over the world with a list of national and world championship winners using our products, looking like the who’s who of racing. EBC Brakes have been used by the last three successive World Super Sport Champions in motorcycle road racing alone.

In Moto-X and Enduro riding, EBC has been the choice of champions for many years with top professionals such as Randy Hawkins and multiple US National Enduro champions, Thad Duvall, Jason Greer, Benny Carlson and Mike Sigetti clinching multiple USA championship titles in Enduro riding. In road racing, EBC has also been the number one preferred choice of privateer race teams for many years, EBC is a pad people will actually "buy"


and as all road racers know, a free pad is one thing but the best is worth paying for if it will help you win races.

Having successfully dominated worldwide with its motorcycle brakes, EBC directed its focus onto the automotive market in the early 90's and quickly made its mark with ranges such as the new R90 approved Ultimax pad range followed by domination in the sport brake market with its Greenstuff Kevlar brakes and Red Ceramic brake pad ranges. The new hybrid range of Yellowstuff pads for track and street were quick to follow along with two ranges of drilled and slotted sport brake discs.

EBC continues to expand its business worldwide on the automotive market and is the brake pad of preference by most online retailers whoGilt-edged Bond: Our interview with Samantha Bond

From Moneypenny to Lady Macbeth, Samantha Bond has covered the spectrum of parts. She also has a romance with Richmond dating back to her childhood years. Lucy Johnston finds her hard at work on her eagerly awaited new role

I’m perched on a chair in the corner of a cavernous, creaking room in Hampstead’s Old Town Hall, waiting twitchily for Samantha Bond.

Twitchily because, 12 years ago, when I was a little green fledgling columnist, Samantha took exception to something I wrote about her in The Richmond Magazine – and said so in a subsequent interview with a broadsheet. I’ve not interviewed her since, and this silly small thing has always niggled. Now I feel as if I’m back at school, waiting to see


a microphone to establish an operational environment for performing a video conference. However, the assembly of said components and the software configuration are rather time-consuming. From another perspective, if a specific host plays a leading role in the common video conference system, the connecting ports of the peripheral equipment including the video camera and the microphone are required to comply with the specification of the specific host, which may lead to difficulty in setting up the video conference system.
Besides, a conventional video conference system usually displays the image of a remote user via a flat panel display. Unfortunately, the image displayed in a display may be restricted to the size thereof. Moreover, due to the bulkiness of the flat panel display, the video conference system is usually configuredLong-term followup of knee injuries in high school football players.

the leading media brands in the UK fleet industry. An expert panel on behalf of the publication recently honoured the IONIQ Electric with the award for "Best Plug-in Car (0g/km), while Hyundai Motor was named "Green Manufacturer of the Year". With alternative powertrains becoming more cost-effective and fuel-efficient, cars like the IONIQ are an increasingly popular option for the corporate fleet industry.

Why alternative powertrains are now a viable option for businesses

Previously, alternative powertrains have been considered but not implemented on a large scale. Although fleet managers and company car drivers are aware of their social and environmental responsibility, many have been unwilling to compromise financially or on driveability. However, over recent years the infrastructure that makes eco-friendly cars viable for business fleets has been put in place, fromwithout compromising in driving dynamics, comfort and safety.

By offering an emission-free range of up to 280 km on a single charge, the IONIQ Electric can transform the overall energy efficiency of a company's fleet. In just 23 minutes, the car will be 80% charged, and its electric powertrain has fewer components than a combustion engine, which results in lower maintenance and repair costs. The IONIQ Electric also has a considerable advantage over petrol and diesel cars. In France and the UK, electric vehicles are exempt from company car tax, while in Germany they are eligible for a €4,000 premium.

Meanwhile, cars like the IONIQ Hybrid and IONIQ Plug-in require less fuel than conventionally-powered vehicles and can travel on electricity alone for several kilometres, while delivering the same performance and


saving money on petrol. The Plug-in can drive more than 50 km in pure electric mode, which is ideal for shorter distances. When more power is needed the IONIQ's electric motor assists the combustion engine to produce more torque. Hybrids also benefit from tax reductions. Though these are typically less than electric vehicles, hybrids and plug-ins cost less to purchase up front.

Though there is a perception among some people that cars powered by electricity may be less reliable over longer distances due to the need to be charged, Hyundai has developed a range of smart technologies to give drivers ease of mind. Both the Plug-in and Electric versions of the IONIQ can be charged externally, and feature electronic control systems to maximise the range they get out ofmitigate any issues.

FireEye also said that it saw a payload executable file used against a Japanese target posing as an image file hosted on a Hong Kong server. Once it infects a host computer, it connects to a command and control server in South Korea over port 443; the callback traffic is unencrypted, despite its use of port 443, FireEye said, adding that a second sample it collected also connected to the same South Korean IP address.

FireEye said it also discovered a handful of malicious domains also pointing to the IP in South Korea, which allowed them to make the connection to an attack against security company Bit9 this year. The same email address

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Kelsey Mitchell scored a season-high 34 points and became the NCAA’s DI all-time three-point leader as the Buckeyes rolled to a 104-62 victory over Florida Gulf Coast on Friday night in the semifinals of the Play4Kay Showcase.

Mitchell was an impressive 7-of-11 from long range and also had six rebounds and three assists. She passed UConn’s Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis who made 398 career three-pointers. Mitchell now has 402 in her career.

The win sends the Buckeyes (6-1) to Saturday’s championship game where they face the winner of Stanford and Belmont who played late Friday night in the second semifinal. The loss was the first of the season for FGCU which falls to


in that run to tie the record and the Buckeyes made five threes in the quarter.

Mitchell then became the all-time leader on her own with three more triples in the second quarter as the Buckeyes built a lead of 51-14. The Eagles would make seven of their final nine shots in the quarter, including 5-of-7 from deep to cut the lead to 58-34 at halftime.

At the start of the third quarter, the Eagles looked to continue their hot three-point shooting as they made two of their first three from deep but wouldn’t make another the rest of the quarter as the Buckeye defense stepped up. Mitchell had eight more points in the third and OSU pushed the advantage to 85-49.

This was the third all-time meeting between Ohio Stateand Florida gulf Coast and all three have come in the last four years in Thanksgiving weekend tournaments. The Buckeyes won at the Paradise Jam in 2014 and then again last year at the Gulf Coast Showcase.

The championship game is set for an 11 p.m. ET tip on Saturday evening.

Teen Charged In Serial Sex Assaults Innocent, Says Uncle

The family of a 15-year-old boy accused of sexually assaulting more than a dozen women in Toronto's Bloor and Christie area says the arrest is a mistake.

The uncle of the teen, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, told reporters on Monday that he's shocked by the arrest Saturday at around 11 p.m. ET near Bloor Street West and Roxton Road — the area where police allege another sexual assault occurred.

"He is a very innocent kid," said the uncle, whose name isn't being revealed to protect the identity of the accused. "He has a very good heart. He is not a person who [attacks] people or who hurts people."

The teen was charged with14 counts of sexual assaultand two counts of criminal harassment, and was denied bail on Monday.

He sat expressionless during the bail hearing, held hours after police announced he had been charged in connection with the sexual assaults.

The assaults began in the summer and involved the attack of women from behind as they walked at night.

Age of suspect unusual

Todd Minerson, executive director of the White Ribbon Campaign, an organization that works toward preventing violence against women, said he was shocked by the age of the suspect, but "probably not surprised."

"We're really seeing a hypersexualization and a commodification of women at an earlier and earlier age," Minerson told CBC's Metro Morning on Tuesday.

"And the implication of that for young boys is that they're seeing young women sexualized at a younger and younger age. So
