around her neck, and they support the trial court's determination of the seriousness of

Mary's injuries.

       George knew of Mary's allegations and the physical and psychological damage he

inflicted on her. He inflicted those injuries with his own hands and weapons. The

relatively low pretrial settlement amounts obviously reflect practical difficulties in

collecting a judgment of this nature, and are not an accurate reflection of the extent of

Mary's physical injuries and related general damages. The award of attorney fees was

modest and Mary's complaint notified George reasonable attorney fees would be sought

for domestic violence under Civil Code section 1708.6, subdivision (c).

               in blatant disregard of the fundamental rights of the defendant in this case.

C. Several DEA Agents Destroyed Discoverable Evidence In Violation Of Brady And The Jencks Act.

Several DEA agents, including those who witnessed the transaction for which the defendant was tried, destroyed interview notes made in preparation of surveillance reports. Furthermore, photos used in a show-up in which the defendant was identified were destroyed.[6] In all, there were at least five incidents in which discoverable evidence was destroyed by DEA agents.[7]
Although defendant's motion to hold the DEA and one of its agents in contempt was denied, the Court is shocked and greatly displeased by the institutionalized and systematic refusal of this government agency and its agents to respect defendant's constitutional and statutory rights and one agent's apparent attempt


to perpetrate a fraud upon this Court.

D. Due To The DEA Agents' Violations Of The Law, The Defendant Did Not Receive A Fair Trial.

In support of his entrapment defense, the defendant testified at trial. According to this testimony, he first met the DEA confidential paid informer about a month before the alleged sale occurred. Tr. 370-71, 390. Thereafter, the defendant and the informer played baseball together, and about two weeks later, the informant sought information from the defendant on where he could obtain narcotics. Tr. 371-72. About three weeks after meeting the informer and about four days before the alleged transaction, the informer, according to the defendant, pressed him further on buying drugs and asked the defendant to put up $500 to enable the informer to obtain heroinreceived $1,700 for all the cases he made in Washington during the month and a half he was here during September and October 1976. Tr. 235, 253, 264-64. Essentially, the informer testified that the defendant suggested the sale and supplied the heroin. Tr. 246-48, 272.
Had the facts been as the defendant contended, rather than as the informer claims, the informer's role as an agent provocateur would make the defendant innocent of the crime charged because the defendant would have been entrapped. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit has forcefully made this point: "But when the government's own agent has set the accused up in illicit activity by supplying him with narcotics and then introducing him to another government agent as a prospective buyer, the role


U.S.App.D.C. 284, 291, 498 F.2d 1017, 1124 (1974), in which the arrest records involved in that case had been furnished to the United States Marine Corps and the National Agency Check Centers.
The effect of arrest records on one's ability to find a job has been recognized and documented. In Kowall v. United States, Chief Judge Fox observed that "economic losses themselves may be both direct and serious. Opportunities for schooling, employment, for professional licenses may be restricted or nonexistent as a consequence of the mere fact of arrest, even if followed by acquittal or complete exoneration of the charges involved." In support of this statement, Chief Judge Fox cites a survey by the New York Civil Liberties Union indicating that 75 per cent of New York area employmentarrested people is most difficult to square with a fundamental maxim upon which our criminal justice system operates, namely that every accused is presumed innocent. Moreover, the present state of affairs with regard to arrest records breeds cynicism and contempt for our American system of justice, and contributes to the high rate of recidivism and crime in general.
This case presents an additional factor. The defendant in this case is a resident alien who has lived in the United States since he was ten years old. Under 8 U.S.C. § 1182(a)(23) any alien whom the consular officer believes is or has been an illicit trafficker in drugs is ineligible to receive a visa and is excluded from entering the United States. Although the defendant is in the United States


18 U.S.C. § 3500 (1970) was enacted in 1957. It governs the production of statements made to government agents by government witnesses. The enactment of the statute followed the Supreme Court's decision in Jencks v. United States, 353 U.S. 657, 77 S.Ct. 1007, 1 L.Ed.2d 1103 (1957) which was an exercise of the Supreme Court's power to establish procedures for the administration of justice in the federal courts in the absence of statutory provision. The Court in Jencks held that a defendant in a federal criminal prosecution is entitled under certain circumstances, to obtain for impeachment purposes, statements which have been made to government agents by government witnesses. These statements are to be turned over to the defense at the time of cross-examination if their contents relate toweaponry

Eugene M. Antoniadi

Eugene Michel Antoniadi (March 1, 1870 in Constantinople – February 10, 1944 in Paris) was a Greek astronomer who spent most of his life in France when invited there by Camille Flammarion. Flammarion (February 26, 1842 – June 3, 1925) was a French astronomer and a prolific author of more than fifty titles, including popular science works about astronomy, several notable early science fiction novels and works on psychical research and related topics. He also published the magazine L'Astronomie, starting in 1882 and maintained a private observatory at Juvisy-sur-Orge, France. Antoniadi became a highly reputed observer of Mars and atfirst supported the notion of Martian canals, but after using the telescope at Meudon Observatory during the 1909 opposition of Mars, he came to the conclusion that canals were an optical illusion. He also observed Venus and Mercury and made the first attempts to draw a map of Mercury, but his maps were flawed by his incorrect assumption that Mercury had synchronous rotation with the Sun. The first standard nomenclature for Martian albedo features (an albedo feature is a large area on the surface of a planet which shows a contrast in brightness or darkness of adjacent areas) was introduced by the International Astronomical Union when they adopted 128 names from the 1929 map of Antoniadi.

Craters on Mars and on the Moon were named in his honor, as


well as Antoniadi Dorsum on Mercury. He is also famed for creating the Antoniadi scale of seeing (a five-point system when observing celestial bodies, with 1 being the best seeing conditions and 5 being the worst) that is used by amateur astronomers. He was also a strong chess player. Antoniadi was taught chess by his brothers while very young and began studying theory from Staunton's Handbook in 1888 and later on he subjected the games of Morphy to close study. While still living in Constantinople he took part in four private tournaments where the city's strongest players participated, winning all four. In 1893 he went to France and although he lost most of his games against Janowsky, he did manage several wins. Ten years later he began tostudy the games played at the Hastings tournaments after having been motivated by the writings of Tarrasch, whose games he also studied. When studying the games, he tried to following them without moving the pieces and it paid off because his judgment increased to the point that he was able to beat all the amateurs in Paris. He had also hoped to play Janowsky again as well as Taubenhaus but was unable to meet them. In 1905 he tied for first with a French player named Clerissy and a strong English amateur named J.M. Lee in the Cafe de la Regence Championship with a score of 12-2. His best performance was in Paris 1907 where he tied for first with Marshall whom he beat and ahead of Tartakower,


whom he also beat. His only loss was to de Villeneuve. In that game he had a winning position in which he had two passed Ps and was up the exchange. It was claimed he lost unexpectedly due to the fact he was sick. Marshall won the playoff. Antoniadi attributed his success entirely to his studies of Tarrasch's works and he considered Morphy to have been the greatest player of all time and felt Morphy would easily defeat any of the modern players. His opinion of the the "Modern" school headed up by Steinitz was that it was a synonym for "lack of genius."Transplacental transmission of Protostrongylus sp. in California bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis californiana) in Oregon.

Turnock, McDermet Pace Men at UNF XC Challenge

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – With a shortened course length at the 2016 UNF XC Challenge, Jacksonville University's men's cross country runners had a solid showing in the team's first race of the season.

It was a mix of success among old and new and despite an 8K course length in previous years, newcomer Alex Turnock (16:53.36, 18th) and senior Jeremy McDermet (16:54.42, 19th) took advantage of the 5K course to push each other as the pair finished barely a second apart to pace the Dolphins.forerunner of the Pop Art movement, who experimented with the genre long before its worldwide debut at the Venice Biennale in 1964. Maselli describes her artistic approach with characteristic simplicity: “I want to paint energy,” she once wrote. Her brother, film director Citto Maselli, best known for his The Time of Indifference, gives an even clearer explanation of his sister’s dynamic metropolitan style: “ … Titina started to paint outside more and more often. The night and the city were what captured her, the rubble that would accumulate on the filthy night sidewalks of the post-war period, the wrinkled shine of packs of Lucky Strike, the tension of electrical wires and the airy exchanges of trolleys that began circulating again, together with small trucks.” Certainly, the Florence painting

One chapter book reviews: Missing in Action: A Family Saga, chapter six

As far as fictional characters go, there is maybe no archetype so boring as the Hero, that figure of unwavering nobility and poise. Whether that hero is deftly vanquishing foes like Superman or valiantly overcoming adversity a la Odysseus, the construct is the same: The Hero represents the David-like ideal of the man who pursues his mission with fortitude, strength and moral uprightness. In Denver author Kevin Diviness's Missing in Action: A Family Saga, the hero is Mike Saunders, who, like Odysseus, has a quest: to find the body of his father, missing in action in North Vietnam for some twenty years. The particulars of the quest come off something like Top Gun, with the homoerotic subtextreplaced by Oedipal longing.

Like any good hero, Mike Saunders is single-minded in purpose: Now an adult (his father disappeared when he was four years old), he has joined the Air Force in hopes of being assigned to a mission that would allow him to fulfill that purpose. In chapter six, he's just received a letter letting him know that he has been assigned to a mission involving locating those missing in Vietnam -- hope is at his fingertips. Predictably, that hope is dashed, as his mother somewhat glibly foreshadows at the beginning of the chapter with some of the most stilted dialog I've read since Ed Wood wrote his last screenply:

Mike laid the letter on his kitchen table and placed a call to his mother. After the usual


Webster, an epidemiologist, said there had been four outbreaks since July of bacterial infections acquired in hospital. Out of 42 cases 18 babies, mostly premature, had died. The outbreaks are ongoing at University Hospital of the West Indies and Cornwall regional hospital – which recently opened a new unit to isolate and care for patients with infectious diseases including Ebola.

Webster said a number of measures have been put in place to militate against the spread of the infection, including increased sanitary measures to ensure neonatal areas are kept clean.

The rate of infant mortality in Jamaica – deaths of children before they reach the age of one – has been falling steadily since the 1990s. In 2010 the country had a mortality rate of 17 deaths per 1,000 livebirths. Last year, according to World Bank figures, the rate had fallen to 14 deaths per 1,000 live births. That compares with six per 1,000 live births in the United States, and four per 1,000 births in Britain.


Spurs boss Pochettino feels he will be a better manager after lunch with Sir Alex Ferguson

Finally, to return to the initial position, the participants moved the hand away from the cup using shoulder and trunk movements (Phase 9), performed motor imagery to deactivate the FES unit to close the hand

To fully understand the effects of **synchronized** , try removing it from the declaration of **sumArray( )**. After doing this, **sumArray( )** is no longer synchronized, and any number of threads may use it concurrently. The problem with this is that the running total is stored in **sum** , which will be changed by each thread that calls **sumArray( )** through the **static** object **sa**. Thus, when two threads call **sa.sumArray( )** at the same time, incorrect results are produced because **sum** reflects the summation of both threads, mixed together. For example, herelayout. This is a layout in which elements are positioned line-by-line, with lines wrapping as needed. (Thus, it works much like the **FlowLayout** class used by Swing.) In this case, a horizontal flow is used, but it is possible to specify a vertical flow. Although not needed by this skeletal application, it is also possible to specify other layout properties, such as a vertical and horizontal gap between elements, and an alignment.

6 Field Engineer Squadron served in virtually every Canadian Engineer unit and battle of the First World War. They were at Ypres, Mount Sorrel, Vimy, Hill 70, Passchendaele, Canal du Nord, Cambria and the final victorious Pursuit to Mons.

During the First World War, 6 Field operated an Engineer Training Depot. In all, the depot trained 4,176 recruits and sent 3,876 of them overseas in 100 drafts. Most went to the Western Front but one of the last drafts in 1918 found itself headed to Vladivostok as part of 16 Field Company, Siberian Expeditionary Force Soldiers.

6 Field has been involved or completed a number of tasks on the North Shore such as excavating the swimming pool for St. Christopher School in 1947, constructing Bailey bridges over the


Capilano and Seymour Rivers and completing trails to names a few.

1969 saw the first two unit members, since World War Two, go on duty to an active unit in Europe. Members also served in Egypt, Syria and Israel. By the end of the 1990’s over 40 unit members, both men and women had served either with the United Nations and/or NATO in the Balkans.

Members of the unit continue to serve with distinction on deployments overseas. More information on the squadron can be found at the link below.First American Title to Move

Roseanne Cherrie Barr (born November 3, 1952) is an American actress, comedian, writer, television producer, director, and 2012presidential nominee of the California-based Peace and Freedom Party. Barr began her career in stand-up comedy at clubs before gaining fame for her role in the sitcom Roseanne. The show was a hit and lasted nine seasons, from 1988 to 1997. She won both anEmmy and a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her work on the show. Barr had crafted a “fierce working-class domestic goddess” persona in the eight years preceding her sitcom and wanted to do a realistic show about a strong mother who was not a victim of patriarchalconsumerism.[1]

The granddaughter of immigrants from Europe and Russia, Barr was the oldest of four children in a working-class JewishSalt Lake City family; she was also active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). In 1974, she married Bill Pentland, with whom she had three children, before divorcing in 1990 and marrying comedian Tom Arnold for four years. Controversy arose when she sang “The Star-Spangled Banner” off-key at a 1990 nationally aired baseball game, followed by grabbing her crotch and spitting.

After her sitcom ended, she launched her own talk show, The Roseanne Show, which aired from 1998 to 2000. In 2005, she returned to stand-up comedy with a world tour. In 2011, she starred in an unscripted TV show, Roseanne’s Nuts, that lasted from July to September of that year, about her life on a Hawaiian farm.

In early 2012, Barr announced her candidacy


for the Presidential nomination of the Green Party.[2] Barr lost the nomination to Jill Stein.[3] She then sought the presidential nomination of the Peace and Freedom Party, which she won on August 4, 2012.[4] Barr received 61,971 votes in the general election, placing sixth overall.[5]

Early life

Barr was born in Salt Lake City, to a working-class Jewish family. She is the oldest of four children born to Helen (née Davis), a bookkeeper and cashier, and Jerome Hershel “Jerry” Barr, who[6] worked as a salesman.[7] Her father’s family were Jewish immigrants from Russia, and her maternal grandparents were Jewish immigrants from Austria-Hungary and Lithuania, respectively.[6] Her paternal grandfather changed his surname from “Borisofsky” to “Barr” upon entering the United States.[7]

Her Jewish upbringing was influenced by her devoutly Orthodox Jewish maternalaround Utah and even was elected president of a Mormon youth group.[7]

At 16, Barr was hit by a car that left her with a traumatic brain injury.[7] Her behavior changed so radically that she was institutionalized for eight months at Utah State Hospital.[9]In 1970, when Barr was 18 years old, she moved out by informing her parents she was going to visit a friend in Colorado for two weeks, but never returned.[9]

Career

Stand-up comedian success: 1980–1986

While in Colorado, Barr did stand-up gigs in clubs in Denver and other Colorado towns. She later tried out at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles and went on to appear on The Tonight Show in 1985.[9] In 1986, she performed on Late Night with David Letterman and the following year had her own


HBO special called The Roseanne Barr Show, which earned her an American Comedy Award for the funniest female performer in a television special.[10] Barr was offered the role of Peg Bundy in Married… with Children but turned it down.[11] In her routine she popularized the phrase, “domestic goddess,” to refer to a homemaker or housewife. The success of her act led to her own series on ABC, calledRoseanne.

Roseanne sitcom, film, books, and talk show: 1987–2004

In 1987, The Cosby Show executive producers Marcy Carsey and Tom Werner wanted to bring a “no-perks family comedy” to television. They hired Cosby writer Matt Williams to write a script about factory workers and signed Barr to play Roseanne Conner.[12] The show premiered on October 18, 1988 and was watched by 21.4 millionJoss Whedon[1] their first writing jobs on Roseanne. She released her autobiography in 1989, titled Roseanne—My Life As a Woman.[21] That same year, she made her film debut in She-Devil, playing Ruth. Film critic Roger Ebertgave her a positive review saying, “Barr could have made an easy, predictable and dumb comedy at any point in the last couple of years. Instead, she took her chances with an ambitious project – a real movie. It pays off, in that Barr demonstrates that there is a core of reality inside her TV persona, a core of identifiable human feelings like jealousy and pride, and they provide a sound foundation for her comic acting”.[22]

In March 2008, she headlined an act at the Sahara Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.[28]


From 2009 to 2010, she hosted a politically themed radio show on KPFK.[30] Since 2008, she and partner Johnny Argent have hosted a weekly radio show on Sundays, onKCAA in the Los Angeles area, called “The Roseanne and Johnny Show”.[31] On March 23, 2009 it was announced that Barr would be returning to primetime with a new sitcom, wherein she would once again play the matriarch. Jim Vallely of Arrested Development had been tapped to pen the series.[32] She later stated on her website that the project had been canceled.

On April 15, 2009, Barr made an appearance on Bravo‘s 2nd Annual A-List Awards in the opening scenes. She played Kathy Griffin‘s fairy godmother, granting her wish to be on the A-List for one night only. Barr headlined theinaugural Traverse City Comedy Arts Festival in February 2010, a project of the Traverse City Film Festival, founded by filmmaker Michael Moore.[33] Moore developed the comedy fest with comedian Jeff Garlin.[33] In 2010, Barr appeared in Jordan Brady‘s documentary about stand-up comedy, I Am Comic.

In August 2011, it was reported that Barr was working on a new sitcom with 20th Century Fox Television tentatively titled Downwardly Mobile. Steven Greener, who also executive produced her reality show Roseanne’s Nuts, will also executive produce the sitcom.[39]Eric Gilliland is attached as co-creator, writer and executive producer; Gilliland was also a writer on Barr’s previous sitcom Roseanne. The show will be set in a mobile home community and use a multiple-camera setup. In October 2011, NBC picked up the show.[40] A pilot


but he ended up doing so.[45]

On November 28, 2014, Barr’s series, Momsters: When Moms Go Bad debuted on the Investigation Discovery cable network, a network that she says she’s a ‘little obsessed with.’ Barr hosts the show as herself.

Controversy

National Anthem

On July 25, 1990, Barr performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” before a baseball game between the San Diego Padres and Cincinnati Reds at Jack Murphy Stadium. As she later claimed, she was initially having trouble hearing herself over the public-address system, so she was singing as loudly as possible, and her rendition of the song sounded “screechy”. Following her rendition, she mimicked the often-seen actions of players by spitting and grabbing her crotch as if adjusting a protective cup. Barr claimed she had been encouraged by baseball officials to “bringvotes nationwide, placing sixth overall with considerably less than 0.1% of the popular vote; Stein placed far ahead of her in fourth place with roughly 0.3% of the popular vote.[5]

Endorsements

Personal life

In 1970, when she was 17, Barr had a child whom she placed for adoption; they were later reunited.[7][71] On February 4, 1974, Barr married Bill Pentland, a motel clerk she met while in Colorado. They had three children: Jessica, Jennifer, and Jake.[71] Pentland and Barr divorced on January 16, 1990.[72] Four days later, on January 20, 1990, Barr married fellow comedian Tom Arnold and became known as Roseanne Arnold during the marriage. Barr had met Arnold in 1983 in Minneapolis, where he opened for her stand-up comedy act. In 1988, Barr brought Arnold onto her sitcom, Roseanne,


of Nicaragua against Somoza. La Prensa continued to be a voice of opposition even as several radio talk shows and media outlets were being shut down by the government. In August 1978, La Prensa even loaned 50,000 Cordobas to a Sandinista operation, which was never repaid.

On January 10, 1978, Pedro was blocked by a green Toyota on his way to work in the morning. He was shot by several rounds from a shotgun and died in an ambulance on the way to a nearby hospital. It is widely believed in Nicaragua that Somoza's son, "El Chigüin", was behind the murder. Chamorro became a martyr, and his death helped ignite widespread opposition to the Somoza government.

Penn rises to fourth place in Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education college rankings

According to the Wall Street Journal, Penn ranked fifth for the first criterion, "outcomes," which made up 40% of the ranking decision. (File Photo)

Penn was ranked No. 4 in this year’s Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College Rankings, rising from No. 10 in last year's rankings.

Leading the ranking were Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Yale University. Following Penn, California Institute of Technology and Princeton University tied for fifth place.

The WSJ/THE ranking claims to emphasize the return on investment from attending a school, in contrast to other rankings that focus on schools' selectivities. Credit: Cindy Chen Penn was also ranked No. 135 in the environment


category, which carried a 10% weight and quantifies diversity and inclusion on campus.

Times Higher Education reported that schools were ranked based on four criteria, each of which was given a different weight. According to the Wall Street Journal, Penn ranked fifth for the first criterion, "outcomes," which made up 40% of the ranking decision. Outcomes quantifies schools' graduation rates, salary after graduation, academic prestige, and median student debt acquired. Penn also ranked ninth in the "resources" category, which made up 30% of the ranking decision and measures how much schools spend on teaching and student services.

Penn ranked significantly lower in the remaining two categories, "engagement" and "environment." It was ranked No. 93 for engagement, which was weighted at 20%. Engagement represents students' academic experiences, such as whether theyhave opportunities to interact with professors, whether they feel challenged by their courses, and how many subjects are available for them to study.

Penn was also ranked No. 135 in the environment category, which carried a 10% weight and quantifies diversity and inclusion on campus. Other top schools overall also fell short in the least-weighted categories: Harvard was ranked 150th for environment, MIT was ranked 107th, and Yale was ranked 93rd.

Penn holds the top ranking among schools in Pennsylvania. It is followed by Carnegie Mellon University and Swarthmore College, which placed 25th and 28th, respectively. When ranking schools by specific areas of study, Penn was listed as No. 2 for both health professions and business-related fields, two of the most popular fields among undergraduates.

Penn’s 2020 placement in the WSJ/THE


ranking is a jump from years past. The 2019 list, published in September 2018, ranked Penn 10th, while the University was eighth in the 2018 rankings. Penn was also ranked fourth in the 2017 list, the first time the rankings were published.

The Wall Street Journal reported that since last year, it has changed its ranking methodology to look at median student debt as opposed to student loan default rates. It also now includes part-time and transfer students in addition to first-time, full-time students.

Last year’s U.S. News and World Report ranking also listed Penn as No. 8 overall for the third year in a row. The 2020 U.S. News and World Report rankings have yet to be released.

Most Readby compensating for the presidential candidate's perceived weaknesses, and Rep. Tulsi Gabbard is someone who could do that for Sanders.

Gabbard has served as a representative of Hawaii in the House since 2012. Her resume includes a number of distinctions. She is the youngest person in Hawaii to become an elected official; at the age of 21, she became a member of the state legislature. She served two tours in Iraq in the Army, working as a specialist with a medical unit and as a platoon leader. Gabbard is on both the Foreign Affairs and House Armed Services committees. She's one of two female combat veterans in Congress, and the only Hindu member.

Mark Wilson/Getty Images News/Getty Images

Gabbard could strengthen the Sanders ticket mainly by bolstering its foreign policy cred.


Sanders has been working against the idea that he's weak on foreign policy throughout the campaign -- a narrative that is particularly daunting, considering how his opponent for the Democratic nomination has served as secretary of state. Gabbard's combat experience could attenuate that perceived weakness.

It of course helps that Gabbard and Sanders are aligned in their strong opposition to regime change efforts by the United States abroad. She, along with Republican Rep. Austin Scott, introduced a bill to the House in November of 2015 whose goal was to "bring an immediate end to the illegal, counter-productive war to overthrow the Syrian government of Assad." Since a November debate, Sanders has continually referred to his opposition to regime change as something that distinguishes him from Hillary Clinton and atteststo his superior foreign policy judgment.

Gabbard would be a good VP choice for Sanders for a few other reasons. Having a woman as his vice president would boost the ticket overall (not to mention a Hindu-American Samoan veteran woman at that). Also, she's young — 35 years old — which could provide some balance for the 74-year-old Sanders. Of course, her youth also means she doesn't have as much political experience as other potential choices, but that's not necessarily a bad thing in a time when Donald Trump is able to lead the race for the Republican nomination.

Finally, Gabbard would be a good option for Sanders because she's one of the few elected officials who have endorsed him. She is so into the senator's bid that she stepped


down from her position as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee in February to endorse Sanders.

If Sanders gets around to making a vice presidential choice, he has plenty of reasons to seriously consider a Sanders-Gabbard ticket.NEW YORK (Reuters) - Equity markets continued their advance on Tuesday and a gauge of world stocks notched a record for a second straight session, spurred by speculation about U.S. tax reform and relief at French election results.

Besides, in the case of the polling system, the transmission line of a detection signal is interrupted, if a communication failure occurs temporarily in one of active infrared sensors, or if any of the active infrared sensors is temporarily suspended in an artificial manner. As long as the transmission line remains interrupted, any detection signal produced by a sensor which is located upstream of an interrupted position in the transmission line fails to reach the receiver.
In this situation, by the time a normal communication state is recovered between the transmitter and the receiver, it is often a case that the transmitter has finished transmission of a detection signal.

LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - Hollywood loves a sequel, but on Thursday it was an unwelcome one when people of colour were shut out of all the Oscar acting races. Again.

All the 20 lead and supporting actor and actress nominees were white, as - for the second straight year - the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences overlooked critically-acclaimed movies featuring black actors and directors.

Hip-hop hit movie Straight Outta Compton failed to get a place in the best picture category, and the Twitter hashtag #Oscarssowhite, which sprung up a year ago, was quickly revived.

Will Smith (Concussion), Idris Elba (Beasts Of No Nation), and Michael B. Jordan (Creed) were among those thought to be in the running for a nomination but


left out.

"The snowstorms in The Revenant are almost as blindingly white as the 2016 Oscars," read an e-card posted on Twitter by Someecards, referring to the movie that was filmed in freezing conditions and won a leading 12 nominations.

"Why did the Oscars announce all the white nominees first?" quipped British comedian Ricky Gervais on Twitter, four days after he hosted the Golden Globes ceremony in Beverly Hills.

Gil Robertson, president of the African American Film Critics Association, the largest such body in the world, said the omissions were disappointing.

"For Sylvester Stallone to be the only nominee for Creed is totally a slap in the face to some of the other people involved in that project," Robertson told Reuters.

"Films are making the bulk of their money in foreign markets soit's going to be a business necessity for the industry to populate their films with the people of the world, who are not only black and brown but all other colours," he said.

The exclusions will likely give comedian Chris Rock, for his pointed remarks on politics and race, some powerful material for his turn as Oscar host on Feb 28 when the winners are announced.

In a promotional Oscars video last week, Rock pours white talcum powder over his hands and claps them.

April Reign, managing editor of BroadwayBlack.com, who identifies herself as the creator of the #Oscarssowhite hashtag, tweeted on Thursday: "A five-minute opening by brilliant Chris Rock will not make up for over 80 years of erasure of marginalized communities."

The world believes that the modem day holocausts
began and ended with the German Holocaust, against the Jews which began in Germany in
1940.

However, in reality the holocausts began at,
least seven years earlier and in Russia, not Germany. We can take as one example the fate
of the 230,000 Latvians living in Russia at that time. In 1937 a secret directive was
issued from Moscow: latiđskoje gelo (the Latvian matter). It ordered the killing
of Latvians. In the next few months 73,000 Latvians, almost all the men over age 15, with
some educated and activist women, were arrested and shot. On the arrest order was written:
pričina obvineniya-latiđ (reason for arrest — Latvian). That's all — Latvian.
Three years later in Germany similar orders would say: reason for arrest — Jew.

Before the Latvian holocaust in Russia,there was
the holocaust against the Ukrainians when in 1933/1935 creating artificial famine the
Russians killed almost five million Ukrainians. In 1937-38 there were also holocausts
against Estonians and Lithuanians living in Russia.

Altogether, from 1900 to 1940, the Russians
killed tens of millions of people in the territory they controlled. And the world was
silent No criticism of Russia was heard anywhere. Since at that time Russia. was the only
power that Germany respected, and since Russia and Germany were signed allies, could the
successful, uncriticized, unpunished Russian genocide against Latvians, Ukrainians,
Estonians/ Lithuanians have set an example and pointed the way for the German Holocaust
against the Jews? If so, then woe to those who knew and remained silent.

In 1939 Germany and Russia signed the
Ribbentrop-Molotov (Hitler-Stalin) pact which divided Eastern Europe between them. It gave
Germany control


from mid-Poland to the west and Russia from mid-Poland to the east.
Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania fell under Russian control. Now nearly two million more
Latvians, all that there were in the world, were at Russian "mercy." In the
German controlled area began the Holocaust which eventually cost six million Jewish lives.
In Latvia, over the next 10 years the Russians killed, deported, and exiled the most able
one third of the population (this in addition to the already killed 73,000 Latvians in
Russia). The political, cultural, and moral leadership of Latvia was almost totally
exterminated. Government officials down to village level, leading members of political.
parties, military and police officers, higher civil servants, school principals and
teachers, judges, religious leaders, and scoutmasters were all gone together with hundreds
of thousands of others. Russians did the same thing inof barbarians to steal women. During the unlawful occupation of Latvia,
1940-1991, the Russians did not kill all of the Latvians, only the most able one third.
Then they sent in 200,000 soldiers and 1 million support personnel — civil occupants and
colonists to slowly eliminate, suppress, russify the leaderless remaining 1.3 million
Latvians. This was done by terror and fear, further deportations (1949), and destruction
by force and intimidation of the Latvian culture and language = genocide.

In 1991 Latvia regained its independence and the
Russian occupation should have ended. While most of the 200,000 soldiers did leave (some
only took off their uniforms and became Russian agents or, joined the Russian Mafia), the
1 million illegal civil occupants remained. They should not have been in;

Latvia in the first place for it is against all
international laws


for the occupying power to send masses ofcivilians into
occupied countries. The fact that Russia refuses to remove its civil occupants from
Latvia' proves that Russia plans to continue its program of elimination of Latvians and
Russification of Latvia. The Russian holocaust and genocide against the Latvians goes on.
Again there is silence just like that other time at the end of the'30s.

Now that many organizations (Red Cross, European
churches) and countries (Sweden, Switzerland, Vatican) are admitting their guilt and
immorality in keeping silent during the Holocaust against the Jews, why is similar silence
and even collaboration continuing in the case of the ongoing Russian holocausts and
genocide in Latvia and Estonia? In place of sympathy, Latvians would prefer practical
Western help in removing the nearly one million Russian colonists and civil occupants —

And for the promotion of such salutary end, the money which shall be paid, as an equivalent, by persons exempt from militia duty except, in times of war, shall be exclusively, and in equal proportion, applied to the support of County seminaries; also all fines assessed for any breach of the penal laws, shall be applied to said seminaries, in the Counties wherein they shall be assessed.

Sect. 4.

An extraordinarily complex language with a vast vocabulary, it is still widely used today in the reading of sacred texts and hymns. It belongs to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European languages by family. The classic dialect helps in learning new languages (such as German) and also developing aptitude for logic and maths, mainly Vedic maths. Sanskrit is traceable to the 2nd millennium BCE in a form known as Vedic Sanskrit, with the Rigveda as the earliest known composition.

However, it is fading from the scene and declining in popularity in India. Now, only a few villages in India speak Sanskrit.

Following are the Places that Still Largely Speak Sanskrit:

1. Mattur, Karnataka

Mattur is known as India’s ‘Sanskrit village’. It is a quaint, sleepy hamlet which lies along the bank


of Tunga river in karnataka and lies 300 km’s from Bangalore. People can be found using Sanskrit in their day-to-day communication and are very fluent in it . The villagers, who lead Vedic lifestyle, chant the ancient texts and converse in the language. This practice has made sure to preserve Sanskrit and make it flourish. Even children speak the language fluently and are educated in it. Despite the fact that the official language of the state is Kannada, this village has been successful in preserving Sanskrit as a regional language. It is a unique accomplishment for the residents.

2. Jhiri, Madhya Pradesh

This village is a remote hamlet located in Madhya Pradesh’s Sarangpur Tehsil of Rajgarh district , situated 150 km north of Indore . With a population of lessthan 1000, this village is still keeping up with the ancient language. The local dialect is Malwi here, but hardly anyone speaks it. Men, women, children, literate & illiterate, all speak an Indo-Aryan language here, and Sanskrit has replaced it in the last 16 years. An organisation by the name of Samskrit Bharti started conducting ‘Samskrit Sambhashan camps’ in the village through an activist named Vimla Tewari. She came to lodge there for a year, but in the mean time she developed the interest of the villagers in the language, so much so that everyone turned up to learn Sanskrit.

3. Hosahalli

Karnataka Like Mattur, Hosahalli is another village in Karnataka that is known for its usage of Sanskrit as a primary language and for its efforts to support Gamaka


be found in every household here. Most of the dwellers in this hamlet are Brahmins and the village has around 50 households with 300-odd members.

5. Baghuwar, Madhya Pradesh

It is located in Kareli Tehsil of Madhya Pradesh, 15 km from the district headquater Narsinghpur. Sanskrit is the prime language here and the majority of people are well-versed in it.

6. Ganoda, Rajasthan

This village is located in the Banswara district of Rajasthan state. If you visited here a few years ago, you would have found people talking in the local language Wagadi. But now, most of the people fluently speak Sanskrit. This change in language happened as a Sanskrit-based institute opened here, providing education up to the college level. Nearly all the children in the region joined it and the teacherencouraged all to speak in Sanskrit to gain fluency. Thus, everyone started speaking to the elders also in Sanskrit. This resulted in the elders also learning the language from their children, and thereby brought about a change of scenario in the local language of the region.

7. Mohad, Madhya Pradesh

This is a village panchayat located in Madhya Pradesh’s Burhanpur district. It is situated 25 km away from the sub district headquaters Maheshwar and 60 km away from the district headquarter of Khargone. It is not uncommon to find people here talking to one other in fluent Sanskrit.


STEVE KLINEBERG, a sociologist at Rice University, mentions a couple of events that made Houston’s leaders take notice of a looming problem. One was the day, in 1999, when their city overtook Los Angeles as America’s most polluted—evidence that the rise in asthma attacks among the city’s children, and the students passing out on football pitches, were no coincidence. Another was when Houston came up short in its bid to compete to host the 2012 Olympics. No one on the United States Olympics Committee voted for it, despite the fact that Houston had a brand-new stadium and had promised to turn an old sports field into the world’s largest air-conditioned track-and-field arena.

At a casual glance, Houston looks much as it ever did: a tangle of freeways running throughit on.

Not even a smidgen of such evidence exists, let alone a "wealth" of it. As psychologist Michael Bailey, a professor at Northwestern University, told me, "Santorum is simply trying to wrap his religious ideology in scientific garments. But the emperor has no clothes." If he's so interested in the science of porn's impact, maybe Santorum should add federal funding of sexuality research to his platform -- and discourage his GOP brethren from attempting to defund such studies in the future.

Franco Biondi Santi, the patriarch of the Tuscan estate many credit with creating Brunello di Montalcino, died April 7 at age 91, Wine Spectator reports. From his family’s property, Il Greppo, not far from the town of Montalcino, Biondi Santi was a fierce champion of traditional Brunello, made from 100 percent Sangiovese and aged for five years before release. He believed the wines should live for decades, and they often did. He had firm convictions and stuck to them, even when it provoked conflict in his own family.

Bribie Island

Bribie Island at 34 Kilometres long and eight kilometres where it is widest - is the smallest and the most northerly of three substantial sand islands that form the coastline sheltering the northern part of the Moreton Bay Region.

Situated east of Caboolture and the Glass House Mountains, Bribie Island is connected to the mainland of Australia by bridge. The building of the 831m bridge to Bribie Island half a century ago took two years of work and was considered an engineering marvel at the time, being the longest


pre-stressed, pre-cast concrete bridge in Australia.

The installation of the bridge to Bribie Island also saw the population of the island grow from just 600 people, when the only way onto the island was by boat or ferry, to more than 17,000 people today.

However, most of Bribie Island is uninhabited national park (55.8 square kilometres). This makes Bribie Island a refuge for a large number of animals, both on land and in the surrounding waters.

The main suburbs of Bribie Island are Banksia Beach, Bellara, Bongaree and Woorim. You can get between any of these suburbs by car within minutes during normal traffic conditions.

Boasting some of the best beaches and animal habitat experiences, Bribie Island is a must see destination for everyone.Early twentieth century surgical urology: the 1909-1939 experience of Henry Wade.
This historical review uses the experience of Henry Wade (1876-1955) to examine the state of surgical urology in the early decades of the twentieth century. For 50 years, Wade was a central figure in the life of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. His work epitomises Scottish surgery in the years between 1909 and 1939. Wade adopted every available technique to arrive at the precise diagnosis of urinary tract disease. An exact clinical history and examination were followed by the testing of the urine, the analysis of the blood, radiography and cystoscopy. During his time, urological surgery was revolutionised by the advent of excretion pyelography. Soon afterwards, blood transfusion and the first antibacterial agents began to transform

The electrophoresis platform then moves to a position into the gantry assembly, where electrophoresis is conducted to separate the samples into different fractions. The electrophoresis platform then moves between a reagent pouring station where a reagent is applied to make the separated fractions fluoresce under ultraviolet light. The electrophoresis platform is then moved beneath the gantry assembly again as an air knife in the gantry assembly spreads the reagent. After incubation and drying of the electrophoresis plate, the electrophoresis platform and the gantry assembly are moved relative to one another while the electrophoresis plate is read with the aid of ultravioletjust 11 points. The next season, in 2003–04, he recorded his first career hat-trick on December 31, 2003, at HSBC Arena in a 7–1 win against the Washington Capitals. He finished the season bouncing back from his previous concussion-riddled season with 17 goals and 31 points.

After spending the 2004–05 season back in Russia with Dynamo Moscow due to the NHL lockout, Afinogenov recorded his best season to date when NHL play resumed in 2005–06 with personal bests of 51 assists and 73 points. As the Sabres embarked on a playoff run to the Conference Finals, where they were defeated in seven games by the eventual Stanley Cup champion Carolina Hurricanes. Afinogenov added eight points in 18 post-season games. He continued his scoring pace the following season in 2006–07

Budget Hotels in Bangalore

Bangalore is one of the most beautiful cities located in the heart of Karnataka. Besides being the capital city of Karnataka, it is one of the biggest and the most popular metropolitan cities in India. With the IT industry continuously booming in the city, it has now become the IT hub of India. Thus, corporate businessmen, professional workers are the most frequent visitors to Bangalore. Budget hotels in Bangalore are their favourite choice when they make a one or two days visit.

Apart from being an IT hub of the country, Bangalore is also well known for its beautiful places all round. It is one of the most popular tourist destinations in India. Mysore, Hampi and Coorg are some of the popular nearby tourist places. WhenThe RNC unveiled a new site Wednesday that allows users to send mock birthday messages to the president.

Washington (CNN) – On President Obama's 49th birthday, the Republican National Committee is out with a new website full of electronic greetings intended to slam the president and national Democrats. The Democratic National Committee is hitting back, referring to the RNC's move as "tired, childish, political games that do nothing to help anyone."

The new site, baracksbirthdaycards.com, hosts 11 digital birthday cards from which users can choose. All of the cards are mock greetings from various political or governmental figures to the president. The mock messages come mostly from Democrats with the exception of the card featuring Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who passed on the GOP primary earlier this year and is


now mounting a non-party-affiliated bid for Florida's open Senate seat.
One card features Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley, former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, and former Virginia gubernatorial hopeful Creigh Deeds. Since Obama took office, Coakley, Corzine, and Deeds have all lost high-profile statewide races to Republican opponents.

"We got you that dinner jacket you had your eye on," the card featuring Coakley, Corzine, and Deeds says. "We noticed you were missing some coattails."

In a reference to two very recent Democratic ethics cases in the House of Representatives, a card featuring an image of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says "What do you give the guy who has everything? How about Charlie Rangel and Maxine Waters? Hugs and Kisses!"

The card featuring Vice President Joe Biden is tied to Biden's history ofmaking verbal gaffes. "For your birthday, you won't hear a f@#&ing peep out of me."

Other mock cards available on the site feature White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, Obama senior adviser David Axelrod, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, Rep. Charlie Rangel of New York, Gov. Crist, Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry, and former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Once users select a card, they can provide the e-mail addresses of up 20 of their friends to send the card to at the same time it gets sent to the president.

The new website also has a page where users can donate to the RNC.

In an e-mail to CNN, a spokesman for the DNC suggested that the new site was a waste of time.

The RNC's "time would probably be better spent coming up with

"We noticed you were missing some coattails"???

My father in-law, who served in WWII, and a black man, informed me years ago that during WWII the white American US Army Soldiers were telling the people in Germany and other parts of Europe that Black people have tails.

My White Czechoslovakian mother in-Law, who married my black father in-law in mid 1940's in a Catholic Church in Germany, informed me that it was True: White American US Army Soldiers were telling the people in Europe that Black men had tails.

Continuing to retreat, because it seemed the ghost's attention was fixed entirely on me. So I shuffled ever back, and the ghost rose ever higher, its linen-covered arms held tight at its sides.

Structural proteins in sexual differentiation of embryonic gonads.
Sexual differentiation of embryonic gonads was studied by immunocytochemical analysis of cytoskeleton, basement membrane and extracellular matrix. The epithelial cells of the prospective gonadal region in both sexes contained vimentin and desmin intermediate filament proteins but not cytokeratin. Basement membrane components laminin, collagen types IV and V, heparan sulfate proteoglycan, and fibronectin were seen in an unorganized form in the extracellular space. The development of the gonads started by proliferation of the pregonadal epithelial cells, which formed separate clusters and loose mesenchyme. In the male gonad the clusters joined together into elongated cords, outlined by basement membrane components. The cord cells became polarized epithelial cells, and cytokeratin appeared with the disappearance of desmin in their cytoplasm. Desmin and vimentin remained inSauce Magnusson is an internationally renowned author, scientist, and musician with over 15 YouTube clicks for hit music videos such as Gay French Muslims, Sexy Time, Moishe Batmann, and Glutinous Rice.

Adjacent the feeding zone in the direction of displacement of the worm is an intake zone in which the synthetic resin material which passes into the worm cylinder in the intake zone is entrained by the flight or thread and forced to move along the length of the worm.
In general, the thread or flight in the intake zone and in the feed opening zone have the same pitch angle. The pitch angle in the intake zone, however, can be larger.
In conventional synthetic worm presses (see Schenkel: Kunststoff-Extrudertechnik, 1963, page 171, issue 5 /72), the thread or flight not only in the feed opening zone but also in the region of the

The root diameter of the worm, i.e. the diameter of the core is also the same in the feed opening zone and the intake zone and a small transition region is provided between the interior of the cylinder at the intake zone and its junction with the feed opening zone.

In it, she explains how a detainee named Andre, who suffered from bipolar disorder, was overmedicated by the medical staff:

At least 71 people died after a gas stove exploded on a train in southeast Pakistan, officials confirmed Thursday.

"Two cookers blew up. They had oil which added fuel to fire," Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed told local broadcaster Geo.

Most of the deaths were caused when people jumped from the train to escape the flames, he added.

A further 30 people were injured in the fire that destroyed three train carriages. Of these, 12 are in a critical condition, said Amir Taimur Khan, police chief of Rahim Yar Khan, the city close to where the accident took place.

Local television footage showed carriages on fire with smoke and flames billowing through the windows.

Emergency services predict the death toll will rise.

Passengers jumped from the carriages to escape

Reactions from Pakistan

Prime Minister Imran Khanexpressed his condolences to the families of the victims via Twitter.

He also ordered an urgent investigation.

Shireen Mazari, Pakistan's minister for human rights tweeted: "A tragedy that could have been avoided but ever since I can recall while traveling by train no baggage check or restrictions enforced."

Why was a gas canister on the train?

Railways Minister Ahmed said an inquiry will be launched into how the fuel was brought onto the train.

Pakistani journalist Zahid Hussein told DW that although cooking stoves are on the list of prohibited items, "security checks on trains are very lax." The long transit times involved often lead poorer passengers to cook their meals on the trains, he said

Train accidents are common in Pakistan where its aging railways have seen a lack of investment as well

The latest jobs market figures from the Office of National Statistics, which show a fall in unemployment, have been given a tepid welcome from industry commentators, with many warning that public sector cuts have yet to make an impact.

Nigel Meager, director of the Institute for Employment Studies, said: “There are some encouraging signs of stronger labour market demand in this month’s figures, with unemployment down by 34,000, and employment growing by 160,000. Vacancies have also risen again, though they remain well below pre-recession levels.”

However, Meager said he was seriously concerned by the news that long-term unemployment had increased again to reach more than three-quarters of a million and said: “Urgent policy action is needed to support this group back into work

Voter support for reform and its likely evolution is also widely misunderstood. Top-line popularity may change very little, but about a fourth of those with reservations want a more generous government program like Medicare for All. And people of all partisan leanings tell pollsters they overwhelmingly approve core Obamacare provisions – including rules keeping insurance companies from avoiding or dumping people with health problems; subsidies to help families and businesses afford private plans; expansions of Medicaid to insure more low-income; and new benefits for women, youth, and Medicare recipients. Before 2014, many Americans did not know such specifics were included in the law, but by now millions do know – and the word is spreading to their kinfolk, neighbors, and co-workers.
