Amazon has been a major force in pushing U.S. book sales online, and leading to the demise of the Borders bookstore chain and the closing of many independent bookstores. Of the roughly $44.5 billion U.S. consumers spent on books, music and video products in 2014, 74% was spent online, according to Internet Retailer Top 500 figures.

Amazon has also played a big part in changing the way consumers read by introducing its Kindle electronic book reader and aggressively promoting e-books, often at prices well below those of printed volumes. A report in fall 2015 said Amazon commanded 74% of the $729 million U.S. e-book market.

Dominican Republic and the Parsley Massacre (1937)

An island of two nations, Dominican Republic and Haiti, located in the Caribbean Sea, bore witness to the atrocities of genocide in 1937. Prior to the genocide, the two nations shared in a history of violent overthrows, toggling the control of land back and forth. The documentation of the island’s history begins with Christopher Columbus, who stumbled upon the island in 1492 and named it ‘Little Spain’, also known as Hispaniola. Spain colonized the island, Santo Domingo, in 1496, which functioned as a capital for all Spanish colonies of the Americas. Two-hundred years later, in 1697, the Treaty of Ryswick split the island, giving the western half to France and keeping the eastern half under the rule of Spain. Eventually, Spain turned


its share of the island over to France in 1795. Shortly after, France gained complete control of the island, as Haiti was conquered by a guerilla leader, Toussaint Louverture. Louverture, being a former black slave, abolished slavery and claimed himself to be the governor-general of Hispaniola. In 1804, Haiti won its independence from France and a former slave, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, declared himself emperor.

Independence did not bring much peace to the island and it soon became divided by race, with violence between blacks to the north and mulattos to the south. Eventually Haiti became ruled by President Jean-Pierre Boyer, who attempted to unify the races but still withheld blacks from entering into power. Boyer took control of Santo Domingo from 1822 to 1844, and the people of Santo Domingoclaimed their independence from Haiti, resulting in the birth of the Dominican Republic. Notwithstanding, neither the Dominican Republic, nor Haiti, were able to find any peace within their own borders. To make matters worse, spanning nearly a twenty year period beginning in 1915, the United States of America invaded Haiti and the Dominican Republic for seemingly economic reasons only.

A history of turmoil within the two nations of Hispaniola never found remedy. In 1930, General Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina established personal dictatorship over the Dominican after the military launched a revolt against the President at that time. Trujillo was a military general and was seen as a neutral power by the Dominican people. However, during his years in power, spurred by a failing global economy, Dominicans also went into


of the massacre given the global state of economic depression. The Trujillo regime claimed that the Dominican could not support the migration of Haitians.

Interestingly, Haiti once thrived on its production of sugar but, since its secession from Europe, the sugar industry relocated to the Dominican leaving a flood of open jobs that Dominicans themselves were unwilling to work. As a result, Haitians migrated to the Dominican to take advantage of the opportunity. Despite this effort, and the development of sugar labor, Dominicans echoed the depressed economy and poor economic conditions. Again, Trujillo saw this as an opportunity to murder Haitians and pave a way for Dominican employment.

In the end, more than 20,000 Haitians and Dominicans were murdered over the course of five days for reasons only Trujillo knows.Announcement comes at the end of a 10-week observation period for re-emergence of the disease which claimed 33 lives.

The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has officially declared the end of an outbreak of Ebola, bringing the curtain down on a 10-week re-emergence of the disease which claimed 33 lives.

Health Minister Oly Ilunga made the announcement in a statement on Tuesday following “an observation period of 42 days during which no new confirmed cases have been observed, and in conformity with international health regulations”.

The outbreak – the ninth in the DRC since 1976 – began in the remote northwestern area of Bikoro, where the first cases were recorded on May 8.

The news triggered a wave of international concern, which heightened after cases emerged in Mbandaka, a city and transport


called rVSV-ZEBOV which had proved to be highly effective in trials during the West African pandemic, when it was tested as the outbreak was waning.

The vaccine has yet to be licensed and has to be kept at extremely cold temperatures, which adds to the challenge of distributing it in poor, hot countries.

However, data from the trials suggested it was safe as well as effective, and thousands of front-line health workers received the jab.

Support to a vulnerable child yearning for a mother’s love

A seven-year-old girl carries her little brother on her back, pretending to be just like Mommy; a young boy flies his home-made kite and a few elders sit on the sidewalk enjoying the breezy, hot open space near the Middelpos informal settlement in Saldanah Bay, on the Atlantic coast of the Western Cape province.

Across the street, workmen are putting the finishing touches on a blue canopy, offering welcome shade to children playing in the small sparse sanctuary or ‘safe park’, operated by the National Association of Childcare Workers (NACCW). It is one of only two such sites in the Western Cape province and is part of the Isibindi programme, a child protection project supported by UNICEF.

The Isibindi model ofcare is a community-based programme that trains unemployed community members in accredited, integrated child and youth care services for childheaded households and vulnerable families. The Saldanah Bay project is part of a larger initiative aiming to replicate itself nationally in partnership with the Department of Social Development, and through support from organisations like UNICEF.

The safe park project helps meet the basic needs of some 387 vulnerable children from two small settlements in the area, occupied mostly by migrant workers from the Eastern Cape who have come to find work in the fishing town. About 130 children come to the park from 11 am each day, mostly after school. Trained home-based carers, teachers and others provide information on the children’s primary needs to the team of Isibindi childcare workers


grieving child

Other children need parental love, a sense of security and help to handle grief. Mr. Macongoto tells the heart-warming story of Andile, an 11-year-old boy who came to the safe park every day, but whose mood seemed sad and morose. “Childcare workers noticed that he always sat by himself, did not eat and did not engage or play at all with other children. We knew something was very wrong,” he said.

When team members began to talk with the child and to look deeper into the situation, they discovered that Andile was missing and grieving for his mother who had died. Andile had come to the Midelpos area from the Eastern Cape Province where he lived with his extended family in a traditional homestead, to visit his mother,because the family had not heard from her for some time. Family members had only learned of her death after she had been gone for several weeks. The child was devastated that he would never again see his beloved mother and became withdrawn.

Once the Isibindi childcare team realised that Andile was grieving for his deceased mother, they immediately provided a counsellor and arranged for him to say goodbye to his Mum. They shared treasured photographs with the young boy and along with other child relatives, accompanied him to her gravesite, where he placed his own goodbye note and a wooden cross that he had made and inscribed with her name.

“I feel very happy now,” Andile told UNICEF. “I got interested in my school work again and I would


Lawyers for former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) argue that the ex-lawmaker deserves probation, citing "remarkable progress" made on the problems leading to his sexual misconduct.

Anthony Weiner, the former congressman and NY mayoral candidate whose career and personal life were wrecked in a series of sexting scandals, blamed a "deep sickness" combined with the "profit-seeking curiosity" of his 15-year-old victim for his legal troubles, as he asked a judge for leniency when he's sentenced later this month.

Weiner pleaded guilty back in May to sexting with a 15-year-old girl in North Carolina.

The high-school girl, referred to only as "Jane Doe", or "JD", contacted Weiner in hopes of selling her story to a publisher and influencing the presidential election, lawyers for Weiner said in a court filing late Wednesday.

After the emailswere discovered, the FBI reopened its investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state just days before the presidential election.

Earlier Wednesday, Weiner and Abedin appeared before a judge in Manhattan who was hearing their divorce case.

In a separate letter to the judge, Weiner said, "My continued acting out over years crushed the aspirations of my wife and ruined our marriage".

His lawyers have stated Weiner is undergoing treatment for his sex addiction and a series of tests showed he has a "mixed personality disorder" stemming from childhood trauma.

The judge will sentence Weiner on September 25 on one count of transferring obscene material to a minor, which carries a 10-year maximum sentence.

As Devlin-Brown tells it, the teenager told government investigators that her intention all along


was to tip the presidential election in which Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, was a top aide for the Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton.

It was shortly after that article was published that reports surfaced of a federal investigation into Mr. Weiner's conduct.

"With Anthony", she wrote, "I have repeatedly found myself in circumstances I never imagined".

In his letter, Weiner acknowledged his regret for his "profound" crime.

Abedin emphasizes that she is not seeking compassion for herself or for Weiner, but for their son, whose age still protects him for now from the depths of his parents' scandal.

His son "will forever have to answer questions about the public and private failings of his father", Weiner acknowledged in the letter.

Weiner's previous sexting scandals led to his resignation from Congress and derailed a New YorkWilson described as a "long and hard court battle" that found the defendant, Bauer Media , guilty. In February 2016 , Wilson opened up about the reports during an appearance on ABC's Australia show Home Delivery .

The Arsenal target man was just as one-dimensional when he was asked about the importance of Saturday's win against Bournemouth . And because of a lack of history with the Champions League's little sister, it is hard to know how Wenger will approach it.

Dipp, who was born in Mexico, said he wanted to "show some respect" to the twominority head coaches as a minority himself. It was Dipp's only report of the game, but it made him a trending topic online - but users on Twitter wanted more.

That suggestion generated some tough questioning from commission members, including Maine Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap. The Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity has spurred controversy since it was established in May.

GREGORY, Justice:
This appeal is from a Family Court order refusing to award appellant (Mother) custody of the parties' four-year-old son based on an alleged change of circumstances. We affirm.
The Family Court awarded respondent (Father) custody of the child in March 1983. Mother regained custody shortly thereafter when she prevailed on a petition for supersedeas to this Court. The child remained in Mother's custody until June 1985 when the Court of Appeals affirmed the Family Court's order and the child returned to Father's


custody. Mother then commenced this action to change custody. She alleged a change of circumstances based on her increased emotional and financial stability resulting from her remarriage.
Mother had an adulterous relationship with Kenneth Alligood during the parties' marriage. She subsequently married Mr. Alligood after her divorce from Father in September 1985. She contends the Family Court erroneously considered her prior misconduct in refusing to change custody.
The Family Court order refers to Mother's prior adultery as a factor considered only in comparing the parties' relative stability. Mother is now married for the third time. She had four illicit sexual relationships during the course of her two prior marriages. A parent's morality is a proper factor for consideration in determining custody insofar as it is relevant to the child's welfare.It was March 1994, and Fox Sports president David Hill was on the phone with a new employee. Hill himself was something of a new employee. The network was only a few months old at that point, being built on the fly after Rupert Murdoch had unexpectedly outbid CBS for NFC broadcast rights. Hill was known, if he was known at all, as a Game Boy-playing Aussie curio who did things like lick his male publicist's earlobe "to reward a suggestion." Today, of course, he's a sports media eminence, and how he became one has at least something to do with his phone call that day in 1994.

He was speaking with George Greenberg, the outgoing 38-year-old creative director at ABC Sports. Greenberg had just accepted a job at


Fox Sports, and now his new boss was calling from an amusement park with an assignment: Go find the theme song for Fox's NFL coverage.

Look, Hill said. I'm on this long line for the Batman ride. I can't get this theme out of my head. Batman. Give me a superhero. Give me Batman plays football.

Hill told him he had a few days to find it.

What makes for a good sports theme song? What makes it stick? Why do certain songs seem to lodge themselves in the pleasure centers of the brain, while others are forgotten before the first commercial break? Greenberg, now the executive vice president of programming and production at Fox Sports, has a partial answer. "It's associated with moments," he explained to me.

He used an example.in that moment, too."

Theme songs are a relic of the radio days. They were mood setters, says Tim Brooks, a television and radio historian. (There's also a plausible theory, bruited by TV Tropes, that theme songs helped listeners in the days of channel-less radio pick up the correct stations.) A comedy might have gotten a bouncy number, while a drama might have required something darker. News programs favored the grandiose and stentorian, and so, eventually, did sports broadcasts. Think of the big, cascading first few notes of the fanfare of "Heavy Action," a very 1970s composition by Johnny Pearson that was used initially as the theme for the U.K. show Superstars and adopted in 1978 by Monday Night Football.

There's something to Greenberg's idea of themes attaching themselves to


show."

Greenberg dialed up a friend, a composer named Scott Schreer. On the down low, Greenberg confided, I got this job at a network that Rupert Murdoch's starting called Fox Sports. At the time, Schreer was a studio drummer who also wrote commercial jingles. He'd had, in his words, a modicum of success. He'd worked a little with ABC Sports, helping Wide World of Sports try to reinvent itself in the early '90s, which was how he got to know Greenberg.

I'd love for you to write a piece of music that I can go in there and wow them with, Greenberg told him. Schreer got some direction. This guy David recently took his son or something on the Batman ride in California and he loved the sound of thetonight?' We were always working to beat the clock, so it was nothing new for us to get a call. Actually, having two or three days was almost a luxury on some level."

So they got to work writing some music. Schreer had a writing group with two other guys. "One guy was Canadian," he recalls, "and the other was a concert cellist." Football fans they were not; Schreer was the closest thing to a sports fan among the three. But they had their instructions: Batman plays football.

"We definitely definitely wanted to put a real dark, manly, masculine football tint to it," Schreer says. There wasn't much of that on the air at the time. "The sports themes were orchestral in nature, but they definitely didn't have that Batman


he says. "I felt really good about my relationship with George." Within a day, he had a 48-person orchestra—48 people!—playing the demo. How in the world did he get 48 people to show up on such impossibly short notice?

"In New York," he says, "if you want Chinese food at 3 in the morning, no problem." Apparently that applies to French hornists, too.

Schreer created three tracks. They were all in the same key. They were all in the same tempo. They all had the same palate, but melodically they were structured differently. And they all came out great. Schreer's experience with commercials colored every bit of music he wrote. The opening was the key.

"Where I came from, I had to get my melody across in 30 seconds or less,"different,'" Greenberg says. "It's brass. It's big. It's orchestral. There's no sports theme song for football like this on the air. I couldn't hum anything from CBS or NBC. This one is like a movie score! It's huge. I listened to each version. It was dissonant. It was dark."

Hill picked up Greenberg at his hotel in L.A. Greenberg put the CD on in the car.

Holy shit, Hill said. That's it!

Greenberg finished his meeting with Hill. He called Schreer immediately.

You're not going to believe this, Greenberg told him. Hill loved it. He couldn't get over how great the music sounds. He wants to meet you. As a matter of fact, he wants to fly to New York this week.

Schreer still remembers it vividly: "I went to go pick David


up at the Rihga Royal Hotel in my Land Rover and I drove him to my studio. I brought him upstairs. David sits in the studio and says: 'Play me that music. Play the first one.'"

Schreer put on the first track.

"Play the second one," Hill told him. A few seconds passed.

"Stop there. I like the intro of number one but I like the body of the work in number two."

You know that part. It's the galloping da-da-duh/da-da-duh/da-da-da-da-duh part. (When I asked New Yorker music writer Alex Ross about the song, the first thing he thought of was Leroy Anderson's "Sleigh Ride.")

Schreer spliced the front of the first track to the body of the second. He hit the play button.

"That's it!" Hill said.

"The NFL on Fox theme is actuallyiconic sports theme this side (and maybe that side) of "Heavy Action"—big enough that it's now the theme for all Fox Sports properties?

Schreer has his own theory. Well, two of them. The first is the production quality. It's a big sound—nothing like the thin, synthy stuff that was popular in the early 1990s. The second is even more interesting.

"If you listen to the NFL on Fox theme today," Schreer says, "I think what really gels is the rhythm section—everything comes from the center." As Schreer tells it, the drum sample came from a friend, who'd traded for it. The friend told him the sample was a snippet of Jeff Porcaro from Toto. "He gave me Jeff Porcaro's sampled snared drum, which I overlaid on my drums—on top of


to revisit it again unless you want to. Gee, it sounds old. It's never going to sound old. It's big, it's full of brass, and it's associated with the greatest moments in sports. Why would you touch it?"

Therefore this book inexhaustibly endeavors to speak and preach the language of love even after its last embossedmean you were more passionate about her; than the angels in the sky,

Just uttering her name umpteenth number of times in a minute; doesn't mean that you made her every dream manifest into a reality,

Just traversing behind her like a shadow; doesn't mean that you could read what was incessantly going on in her heavenly mind,

Just philandering with her on the romantic mountains; doesn't mean that you were the greatest lover born on this earth,

Just gifting her with some conventionally sleek contraptions; doesn't mean that you had veritably stolen her heart forever,

Just pacing around her seductive countenance; engulfed by a river of nervous sweat; doesn't mean that you could wholesomely commiserate with her proliferating sorrow,

Just wishing her the earliest on her birthday; doesn't mean that you topped her

Just wholesomely applauding her melodiously captivating voice; doesn't mean that you comprehended the agony besieging her soul,

And just marrying her in the most grandiloquent fashion on this earth; doesn't mean that you really loved her; had made her yours for times even beyond; what you could contemplate .

2. FOR ME TO BREATHE

For me to smile; it was indispensable that her laughter punctuated profoundly beyond; the realms of fathomless sky,

For me to transiently think; it was indispensable that she unrelentingly fantasized; transgressed through the corridors of profusely enigmatic enchantment,

Forin the ribs; make me shrug all responsibility to be a new born child once again,

When I was on the astronomically mammoth summit of the mountain; I waited for the first rays of the Omnipotent Sun to kiss me; completely annihilate even

the most minuscule trace of devil lingering in my countenance,

When I was in the heart of the jungle; I waited for the royally undaunted lion to arrive; instill in me loads of incomprehensible conviction; with just his single solitary roar,

When I was overwhelmingly tense and frazzled beyond capacity under the mind-boggling work load; I waited for a magnanimous yawn; releasing me uninhibitedly

from corridors of desperation,

When I was seated abreast the golden mellow of the ornate candle; I waited for infinite lines of romantic poetry to flow in


morbid graveyard; I waited for breath to relinquish me in entirety; bond me forever with my mates sleeping blissfully beneath the soil,

And when I was in front of my immortal beloved; I waited for her to say I LOVE YOU, making me entirely oblivious to the most treacherous of pain on my body;

making me speak, worship; and die for ; LOVE, LOVE AND ONLY LOVE .

4. ONE HEART

Bestow me with infinite hands to conquer; invincibly incarcerate every area on the trajectory of this earth in my vice like grip,

Bestow me with infinite eyes to sight; admire every single bit of enchanting charisma embodied in this colossal planet,

Bestow me with infinite legs to walk; reach even the most far off places in this world; explore and ebulliently wander tomy nimble persona with an incomprehensible armory of barbaric thorns,

You could use me as food for the preposterously gigantic whale; tossing me like a chunk of dilapidated vegetable; right into the moaning monsters mouth,

You could squelch me to inconspicuous pulp against the chain of blood curling rocks; before eventually dumping me countless kilometers beneath my corpse,

You could make every step of my life more tyrannical than infinite hell's combined together; stabbing me every unfurling second with astronomical amount of

unbearable pain,

But you would still fail to make me forget her; unwind me from the web of her supremely invincible love; unwind me from the place in her heart that was

perpetually mine .

21. FIERY PASSIONATE

The color of the moon was pure white; with its pearly rays illuminating the profoundly ghastly


from my mouth; with a severely debilitating coma crippling each corner of my brain; and my heart palpitating like a missile about to deafeningly explode,

And today you were blatantly telling me in my face; that you planned to leave me for 3 complete days; 3 complete nights.

Even when the thought of leaving you for a mere 3seconds in the day came to my mind; my body started perspiring more than the most tumultuous of storm; an

ocean of tears welled up my eye; poured indefatigably beyond the most sagacious of my control; my soul went berserk with incomprehensible hysteria,

And today you were blatantly telling me in my face; that you planned to leave me for 3 complete days; 3 complete nights.

Even when the thought of leaving you for ascolded me,

When I lived in the Omnipotent statue of the Almighty creator; all that I could ever dream of was the entire Universe; the magnificent beauty that he had evolved

to admire; the astounding prowess that he had endowed upon every human being to create an entity possessing his own blood,

And when I lived in the heart of my beloved; all that I could ever dream was pure love; drowning in the aisles of her ravishing romance; blending my impoverished soul in the stream of her passionate breath to exist blissfully in this life; as well as many more lives to come .

27. YOUR HEART WAS THE BEST

Your hair were as vivacious as the pelting drops of rain; cascading tantalizingly over your petite shoulders,

Your eyes were as voluptuous as


even after our death .

29. LIVING DEAD

Blind me gruesomely for life; emptying the entire canister of piquant red chili powder into my innocuous eyes,

Cut each of my fingers mercilessly; with the hostile pair of cleavers gleaming menacingly beside the kitchen sink,

Ridicule me severely in public; ostracizing me for my plethora of misdeeds; stripping me naked in the heart of the city,

Break a bulky cluster of rotten eggs on my scalp; giving me dead scorpion stuffed between stale bread; to forcefully munch for breakfast,

Snap the brakes of my car deliberately before I left in the morning; so that the automobile plummeted horrendously into the steep valley; eventually exploding and charring me into a cloud of black plumes,

Hurl a battalion of abuses at me every night before I drifted intomystically swished,

Everyday I admired your dainty fingers a 1000 times; envisaging them to be the sweetest honey ever existing or found on the trajectory of this earth,

Everyday I admired your rosy tongue a 1000 times; perceiving its supremely tantalizing taste; the tons of tangy saliva it encapsulated in its delectable chamber,

Everyday I admired your emphatic eyes a 1000 times; witnessing my reflection as pellucid as scintillating diamonds in their compassionate moistness,

Everyday I admired your seductive voice a 1000 times; thoroughly astounded by the unsurpassable eloquence in your words; the stupendous cadence in your sound,

Everyday I admired your immaculate ears a 1000 times; possessing an insatiable urge to whisper into them gently as time unveiled,

Everyday I admired your captivating belly a 1000 times; exploring its titillating contours voraciously with

The bird was passionate after its cluster of innocuous eggs; inexorably stayed awake the entire night guarding them against the tiniest of evil; imparting them the compassionate warmth to hatch into mesmerizing fledglings,

The watch was passionate after its pairs of needles; which incessantly ticked all day and night; producing a daintily gurgling sound as each second unleashed by,

The chimpanzee was passionate after the raw sheaf of green bananas; peeling a second one of its salubrious pulpy skin; even before he had properly gobbled down the first one down,

her tantalizingly ravishing hair,

Each cactus had boundless thorns; but for me the best thorn was the one she inadvertently pricked; as I got an infinitesimally minuscule chance; the supreme

privilege of bonding with her droplet of poignantly crimson blood,

Each train had boundless windows; but for me the best window was the one in which she sighted her royal reflection; gave a new definition to beauty as she uninhibitedly admired the fabulously fleeting scenery,

Each hand had boundless lines; but for me the best line was the one she traced; deciphered its deeply enigmatic meaning; the bearing it would have


Omnipotent aura of

God,

It was a wave which had the indefatigable power to defeat the entire Universe single handed; reign supreme over all the wealth and power for times immemorial,

It was a wave which made me stagger on just one thought for eternity; exasperated all those around me; wherever I went,

It was a wave which was more fragrant than the most incredulous of scent; ardently tickled the inner most rudiments of my reckless conscience,

It was a wave which impregnated my demeanor with spell bounding magic; metamorphosing everything I felt and softly brushed into glittering gold,

It was a wave which gave me the freedom to speak what I wanted; perceive the most unconventional conditions engulfing monotonous life,

It was a wave which made me realize that I had a definite purposeto fulfill; induced in me an unsurpassable desire to lead life,

And the most special thing about it was; that it was a wave which inevitably cast its ingratiating charm on every youth of my kind; incarcerating trembling bodies

in the current of its fathomless volatile energy; for it was none other than THE WAVE OF LOVE .

We were just a feeble pulse away from each other in reality; yet the stubborn and tyrannical ideologies of this ruthless society; separated us like truly crimson

volatile blood and colorless water,

We were just a thin eyelash away from each other in reality; yet this profusely dictatorial and sanctimoniously religious society; separated us like appalling sadness and unprecedented joy,

We were just at colliding distance away from each other in reality; yet the vicious swirl of meaningless formalities which this society was preaching since years; separated us like the pulverized bone and the athlete who had already crossed over the finishing

line,

We were justlip away from each other in reality; yet the emotionless and cold blooded society; separated us like the crown prince and the beggar counting his last minutes on cold street,

We were just a languidly incomplete yawn away from each other in reality; yet the domineeringly unyielding society; separated us like impeccably silken white and dilapidated blocks of black,

We were just a frigid swish away from each other in reality; yet the barbaric inclination of this perilously ominous society; separated us like the handsomely soaring speedy bird and the pathetically slow tortoise,

Why do you always gauge me just by the fraternity of food I consumed for each meal in the day; Why don't you see the infinite hours that I was prepared to remain starved; so that you relished the tantalizing cherry of your choice?

Why do you always gauge me just by the pen I stuck to my persona; Why don't you see the overwhelming zeal in my fingers to write a book on your fascinating life;

all on my own?

And why do you always gauge me just by the shirt I wore to engulf my visage; Why don't you see the madly throbbing heart inside my chest; whose each beat was

profoundly yours; whose each throbmetal had already taken several of my innocuous fingers,

As I tried to pass through the scintillating mirror door; infinite shards of acrimonious glass hurtled out in frenzy; and I settled with a terrified gasp on the floor with blood oozing from virtually every cranny of my body,

As I tried to pass through a cotton factory; I found myself sneezing unrelentingly with deafening snorts; as invisible threads voraciously tickled sensitive arenas of my robust nose,

As I tried to pass through lanky slopes laden with overwhelming avalanches of snow; I felt my teeth rattling like a woodpecker; and each bone of mine died a gory death punctured by the vicious cold,

As I tried to pass through the sooty coal mine; my complexion metamorphosed to worse than a black cat; and


people around me ran helter-skelter; envisaging me

to be an dreadful alien from the third world,

As I tried to pass through the freshly constructed wall; the end result found me wearing a coat of obdurate cement on my face; half a brick on my scalp; with a mountain of mud burying me without prior notice into my grave,

As I tried to pass through completely full cylinders of heavy gas; after a while I found countless bits of my flesh blown away like specks of compressed dirt in the atmosphere; the ingenious cavities of my brain shooting like an untamed fountain towards the sky,

As I tried to pass through the overflowing bath of fragrant shampoo; I found myself sputtering and stuttering without control; and gigantic balloons of froth wafted frommy life gained full fledged momentum; irrevocably refrained to look backwards; transited to blissfully bouncing and wholesomely alive .

stomach,

The ocean waited all day and night; for the rampant maelstrom; swirling its vivacious waves high and handsome towards the sky; clashing with stupendous passion against the black chain of rocks,

The beggar waited all day and night; for that inevitable rush of swanky cars; desperately anticipating a flurry of shimmering coin to cascade into his hollow bowl,

Lil’ Buck Sinegal, a guitarist whose mastery of zydeco and the blues made him a sought-after player heard on albums by Clifton Chenier, Buckwheat Zydeco, Allen Toussaint and more, died on June 10 at his home in Lafayette, La. He was 75.

His son, Paul Jr., said on Friday that the cause had yet to be determined but that a heart attack was suspected. His father, he said, was still playing until a few weeks ago despite substantial pain from a torn rotator cuff in his shoulder, and he had put off surgery so that he could play the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival last month. The surgery was scheduled for June 17 — the day of his funeral.

In a career that began when he was a teenager,Mr. Sinegal, whose first and middle names at birth were Paul Alton, played on big stages around the world and in small clubs in southern Louisiana.

He was a regular at the Ponderosa Stomp, a New Orleans music festival dedicated to rediscovering unsung artists and songs of the past. Its website calls him “the best guitar slinger South Louisiana has to offer,” and in a tribute on Facebook, the festival’s co-founder, Ira Padnos, described him as “the heart and soul of the Ponderosa Stomp as well as its secret weapon,” a musician who would lead the festival’s backing band in hours’ worth of rehearsals to get the sound of the old roots-rock and blues tunes just right.


Christiana Horton

Christiana Horton (c. 1696 – c. 1756) was an English actress.

She first appeared in London as Melinda in The Recruiting Officer in 1714 at Drury Lane. Here she remained twenty years, followed by fifteen at Covent Garden.

At both houses during this long career she played all the leading tragedy and comedy parts, and Barton Booth (who discovered her) said she was the best successor of Mrs Oldfield. She was the original Mariana in Fielding's Miser (1733).

9. Renegades (1-5. LW 9, -)

Much like Team Liquid, Renegades feels like a team that needs just one change to get over the hump. Its vision control is the best in the LCS thanks to jungler Alberto “Crumbz” Rengifo, and aggressive early play-making has caught teams off guard. Despite its measured success in the early game — fifth in early game rating and fourth in gold difference at 15 minutes — Renegades has fallen flat in the late game due in large part to untimely deaths. Outside of its three AD carries, and surprisingly top laner, the three remaining players are all in the top 10 for deaths in North America.

that soon some Iranians will be willing to sacrifice their lives for Britain, just as the British sacrifice their lives for Iran. [see Note 1] So they are very happy. That is, I cannot express my satisfaction with the results. I ask God to make these two communities like two brothers. May the bonds between them be so close that they will last forever. Originally the people of Iran and Britain were one. In ancient times they were Aryans, living on the shores of the River … [see note]. They entered Iran and populated it and became very numerous. From there they went to the Caucasus, and they multiplied. They migrated to Europe. These two peoples, the Aryan and the British, are brothers. That is why the Englishlanguage contains many Persian words, which shows that the two peoples were once one, and now God has provided the means for them to come together, so that the two will return to their original condition. This will certainly happen.

The Bab appeared seventy years ago in Shiraz and announced the good news of the Kingdom of God. He sacrificed his own life in the path of God. He prepared the people for the love of God. Nine years later, the Blessed Beauty (Baha’u’llah) appeared. He proclaimed that God is one, and called the people of all religions to cling to that which is the foundation of the heavenly religions. The foundation of the heavenly religions is one, and the Law of God is one. All the prophets have


been raised up to proclaim this. Therefore every religious community that implements God’s counsels attains to the truth. The teachings of God are one and the edifice of the love of God is one. This is the cause of oneness and unity for humanity. The Blessed Beauty suffered many hardships in the path of God. He was in chains in prison, he suffered under the bastinado and the lash, and then he was exiled to Baghdad. However Naser al-Din Shah was not satisfied. The Shah, who ruled as an absolute monarch, did not rest until the Blessed Beauty was sent to Akka where, with the consent of Sultan Abdulhamid II, he was imprisoned. The fortress of Akka is a prison that can hardly be imagined. No prisoner therehe decided to withdraw FE from the study in her best interests.

Imagine Derek Jeter leading the New York Yankees off the field because opposing fans were yelling racial slurs and throwing bananas at his team. Or a game between the Miami Heat and Chicago Bulls halted because of unrelenting race-baiting from the crowd.

It's almost unfathomable to a U.S. sports fan, even with the country's long, wrenching and seemingly endless struggle to achieve equality. Yet scenes like that play out at European soccer stadiums with alarming frequency, the product of a toxic mix of culture, ideology, geographical proximity, economics and alcohol.

"It's an interesting contrast," said Orin Starn, chair ofthe cultural anthropology department at Duke University. "America had to go through the civil rights movement, and we went through a national crash-course in race relations and racial sensitivity - to the point in public culture that we're painfully correct. It's really different in Europe. Europe has not gone through the same kind of process of public debate and painful reckoning with questions of race and difference."

Two weeks after a match between Roma and AC Milan in Italy's top soccer league had to be halted for almost two minutes because of racial abuse by fans, European soccer's governing body will ask its 53 members on Friday to adopt a series of sanctions aimed at curtailing racism. One of the proposals UEFA will consider would force clubs to close

Firrito finished up with 275 games from his 14 seasons.

Province of South East Asia will not ordain women, new bishop says

The Church of the Province of South East has no plans to ordain women to the priesthood and is firmly opposed to the innovation of same-sex marriage, the new Bishop of Sabah in North Borneo said.

The Church of the Province of South East has no plans to ordain women to the priesthood and is firmly opposed to the innovation of same-sex marriage, the new Bishop of Sabah in North Borneo told reporters last week. Speaking to reporters on 18 May 2015, the day before his installation as bishop, the Rt. Rev. Melter Jiki Tais said the issues that engaged Western Anglicans and Episcopalians had little resonance amongst the Christians of Borneo. Persecution and militant Islam, not gayto reporters’ questions the new bishop said: “We are totally against the so-called same-sex marriage. We will not allow it in the church.” Asked about women clergy, the bishop said “We are not ready for such a move. We are also not sure whether we will be open to the idea any time soon,” he said. The new bishop was born in Sabah and began his ministry as a parish worker in the diocese in 1988 and was subsequently ordained into priesthood in 1993. As a priest, he has served in various capacities throughout Sabah. He was collated as a Canon of All Saints’ Cathedral in 2006 and appointed as Archdeacon of the Central Archdeaconry in 2007. On 14 August 2009 he was elected suffragan bishop of the


diocese and appointed diocesan bishop earlier this year in succession to the late Bishop Albert Vu. The sixth bishop of Sabah, he is the first native of the diocese appointed to the post — his predecessors having been Chinese.white hide on the front of their bodies, and brown or blue hide on their backs.

Ocean Dwellers

Selachians are at home in the sea, and in their natural habitat are fearsome and dreaded. Great Selachians, the biggest and strongest subrace, usually live in the great expanses of the open ocean, where they find the biggest and toughest prey.

Hunter Selachians live in shallower waters, especially near cave systems, where they are able to find many opportunities for stalking and chasing their prey.

Reef Selachians, the smallest and most agile of the three, live in shallow reef waters, where they group up with others of their kind to hunt.

Native Hunters

Selachians are born hunters, and spend most of their lives in this role. Their jaws and fast swimming make them superb underwater predators.

Even


same group may inhabit the same area, they usually avoid each other, focusing on their own survival.

During the mating season, males and females may get together to breed, but soon after the male returns to his territory to continue his previous life.

One exception to this are the Reef Selachians, who live together in bands, with which they hunt and reside.week, China began combat-ready patrols in the waters around the potentially resource rich Spratly Islands that both China and Vietnam have disputed claims to.

SAVING THE YELLOW-BILLED LOON

The yellow-billed loon is a born diver. Ungainly on land, the loon moves with grace and ease through the water, diving in an instant with its large feet propelling it toward the lakebed in search of fish. Inhabitant of the arctic reaches, this timid bird likes its privacy. But a legion of human-caused threats, including oil and gas drilling in its Alaskan breeding ground, threaten both its solitude and its survival.

Population numbers for the yellow-billed loon are low and extremely vulnerable. Most of the Alaskan breeding population — and 18 percent of the global population — lives within the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska. In January 2004, the Bush administration opened nearly 9

That was the actor's message as he tried to set the record straight about him and the "Roar" singer.

The pair managed to make hay out of rumors they have been making whoopie.

It all started Sunday when Phillippe tweeted a denial, all in caps for emphasis, that he has been dating Perry.

"I am not dating Katy Perry," he tweeted. "Barely know her. Please stop flying helicopters over my house. She is not here. Thx."

Thomas last night to break up a pass to Welker, that's the kind of intelligence and play recognition you want at the back, Ward has that in spades.

Ball Skills: If you watch Ward and some of the interceptions he comes down with, you'd instantly get where I'm coming from here. He plays the ball in the air as well as any safety I've seen coming out of college.

Quickness: Often is matched up with receivers in the slot or tight-ends and his flexibility in the hips as well as his lateral ability enable him to stay with the receivers even on quick patterns.

Tackling: Works to the ball very well and although he is capable of delivering a big hit, he wraps up and brings the player down as theprimary focus. If he can deliver a message at the same time, he will.

Run Support: Although he is known primarily as a coverage safety, his ability against the run is above average. Manages to use his hands to shed blockers and comes down hill quickly.

Special Teams: Impact player, has blocked numerous punts during his time at Northern Illinois and his tackling ability make him a very valuable special teams player.

Negatives

Size - This is a big one as he is under 6" and only a touch above 190lb's. At the NFL level, players are bigger and faster, will his small size cause him to have problems he hasn't experienced.

Competition: Playing in the MAC, he hasn't faced the toughest of competitors, although it's not his fault, this will be held


but at the state and local level win races this year," said Karen White, national political director at EMILY's List, a political action committee in Washington, D.C., that has worked to build a "pipeline" of pro-choice Democratic women poised to run for higher statewide and federal office.

Female candidates for state legislative offices are at record levels, reversing a dramatic downturn in the last election cycle. This year, 2,431 women are running for state House and Senate seats, a 10 percent jump from 2004, when 2,220 women sought those seats.

Female state lawmakers are critical to gaining gender parity in the higher echelons of politics, said Clare Giesen, executive director of the Washington-based National Women's Political Caucus. "It cannot be overemphasized: the necessity to have women represent us on alocal level."

Female lawmakers, Giesen said, serve as role models for women and girls who have political ambitions, she said.

Women are also more prone to seek higher office after first serving in local and state offices while men are more likely to jump into races without first climbing the lower rungs in the political ladders.

"Fewer women just jump into the fray and run for Congress or the Senate without some kind of background," said Giesen. Of the 24 female House candidates endorsed this year by the National Women's Political Caucus, 20 have held political office, she noted.

Ilana Goldman, president of the Women's Campaign Forum in Washington, said that 86 percent of the current women in the House, who constitute 15 percent of the chamber, worked their way up from


lower offices.

Plenty Seek Executive Posts

Plenty of women are also running for statewide executive offices. In addition to 10 women running for governor, 93 women won their parties' nominations for positions such as lieutenant governor, secretary of state and state treasurer.

"Although that's not a record it's still pretty good," said Gilda Morales, a project researcher at the Center for American Women and Politics at the Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. The record was set in 1994, when 109 women won their parties' nominations for statewide office.

According to the center, 18 women are running for lieutenant governor, 19 for secretary of state, 13 for state treasurer and 10 for state auditor. Women are also running for positions such as state controller, comptroller, superintendent of public instruction and commissionerof agriculture, insurance, labor, railroad and the general land.

Statewide executive offices can often serve as stepping stones to gubernatorial and federal office, which can open the door to presidential candidacies.

Throughout U.S. history, political parties have frequently turned to governors or vice presidents as presidential nominees, and they often find one who goes on to win. Of the country's 43 presidents, 17 have served as governor. The trend has intensified in modern history; 8 of 18 presidents who have served since 1901 have been governors: George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Calvin Coolidge, Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt.

'Down-Ticket Dozen'

"There's some really exciting stuff going on at the state and local level," said Goldman, of the Women's Campaign Forum, which has identified "the Down-Ticket


Dozen," a group of women running in some of the most competitive races for second- and third-tier offices around the country.

The list includes Rhode Island Democrat Elizabeth Roberts, a candidate for lieutenant governor who would be her state's first female statewide officeholder if she wins this fall.

Also on the list is Iowa Democrat Denise O'Brien, a farmer, who is running for state agriculture secretary. The current secretary, Patty Judge, is now running for lieutenant governor.

Other female candidates mentioned by political action committees backing women include Jennifer Bruner, an Ohio Democrat running for secretary of state, and Nevada Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto, who is running for attorney general.

EMILY's List started a special effort to help pro-choice Democratic women seeking state and local office in 2001, when the number offemale state lawmakers declined for the first time in 30 years. Called the Political Opportunity Program, EMILY's List seeks out political candidates to train and run for office. Since the program started the group has trained 4,290 people in 33 states.

The political opportunity program helped 140 women win state and local office in 2004 and 21 in 2005, when there were fewer races. So far this year, it has helped 33 women win primary elections.

Since 2001, the number of female state legislators jumped from 1,666 to a record 1,686, or 23 percent of the total seats in state legislatures.

Perception Edge on Corruption

Goldman added that the current political climate favors women, who tend to be helped by periods of scandal because they are perceived as incorruptible, she said.

The most


salacious scandal involved former Rep. Mark Foley, a Florida Republican who sent sexually explicit e-mail messages to male teen congressional pages. The scandal has spread to the House Republican leadership as news reports have revealed that GOP leaders were informed of some of Foley's actions but failed to confront the problem.

Capitol Hill has also been rocked by a guilty plea from Jack Abramoff, a lobbyist who admitted to fraud and corruption. The Abramoff affair has touched a number of congressional aides as well as Rep. Bob Ney, an Ohio Republican who last week pleaded guilty to conspiracy related to his dealings with Abramoff.

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, a Texas Republican, has also been named in the case, but he resigned earlier this year in the wake ofone direction such as inner ward of the electronic pen.

Simone de Beauvoir Essay - Critical Essays

Simone de Beauvoir’s novels are grounded in her training as a philosopher and in her sociological and feminist concerns. She Came to Stay, The Blood of Others, All Men Are Mortal, and The Mandarins all revolve around the questions of freedom and responsibility and try to define the proper relationship between the individual and society. Her characters search for authenticity as they attempt to shape the world around them. Their education is sentimental as well as intellectual and political. While most of her heroes accommodate themselves successfully to reality, the same may not be said of her heroines. In the later novels, The Mandarins and Les Belles Images, her female characters, who are successful by worldly standards, suffer a series of psychologicalfinest novels.

The Blood of Others

Although de Beauvoir was later to consider her second novel overly didactic, The Blood of Others is one of the best novels written about the French Resistance. The book opens with the thoughts of Jean Blomart as he keeps vigil over his mistress Hélène, who is dying from a wound received during a mission. The novel proceeds by flashback and alternates between the stories of Jean, a Resistance hero, and his companion Hélène. The son of a wealthy bourgeois family, Jean is plagued by feelings of guilt over his comfortable situation. He takes a job as a worker and tries to lead a life of uninvolvement. His attempted detachment is based on his belief that he can thus avoid contributing to the unhappiness of


others. Passive at the outbreak of the war, he is finally drafted. Upon his return to Paris, he realizes that his detachment is actually a form of irresponsibility. He organizes a resistance group and becomes its leader. As he watches the dying Hélène, he questions whether he has the right to control the lives of his comrades. Although he is doomed to act in ignorance of the consequences of his decisions, he decides that he nevertheless has an obligation to act. The novel ends with Hélène’s death and Jean’s renewed commitment to the Resistance.

If The Blood of Others is the story of Jean’s engagement, it is also the story of Hélène’s political awakening. Like him, she is politically indifferent until a young Jewish friend is in danger ofdeportation. She then turns to Jean and becomes an active member of his group. In contrast with most of de Beauvoir’s women, Hélène is one who, in her political commitment, manages to define herself through her actions rather than through her emotional attachments.

The Blood of Others presages the discussion of individual freedom in The Ethics of Ambiguity. In both the novel and the philosophical essay, the problem of the Other is interfaced with the question of social responsibility. With its emphasis on the denial of freedom during the Nazi occupation of France, the novel underscores the necessity of political action to ensure individual freedoms. The closed space of the love triangle in She Came to Stay is replaced by the larger obligations of the individual to a historical


moment. The Blood of Others conveys the problematic quality of ethical decisions; as Robert Cottrell has noted, it evokes “the sense of being entrapped, of submitting to existence rather than fashioning it.” Nevertheless, The Blood of Others is a more optimistic book than She Came to Stay in its portrayal of the individual working toward a larger social good.

All Men Are Mortal

Individual actions are seen against a series of historical backdrops in All Men Are Mortal. The novel traces the life of Count Fosca, an Italian nobleman who is endowed with immortality. At the request of Régine, a successful young actress, he recounts his varied careers through seven centuries. A counselor to Maximilian of Germany and then to Charles V of Spain, he discovers the Mississippi, founds the                 FACTS

     Counts One and Three of the indictment charged appellant

Virgil Robinson, III), Jimmy Rebman, William Salway, Dianne Rebman,

Teresa   Jones,   Bradley   McCoy,       and   Eden   Churchill   Chin    with

conspiracy to possess and possession of marijuana.           Counts Two and

Four charged Robinson, Rebman, Salway and Chin with conspiracy to

import and importation of marijuana.            The dates alleged for the

conspiracies are from about August 1993 through December 22, 1993.

Chin, who was known


as "Church," was the ringleader.                     After

Robinson pled guilty to the two conspiracies and the possession

counts, the court dismissed Count Four, which alleged importation,

as to him. Robinson did not have a plea agreement.

     As the factual basis for Robinson's plea, the Assistant U.S.

Attorney stated that Robinson, Rebman, Salway, and Chin agreed to

import a large quantity of marijuana into the United States from

Jamaica.   In accordance therewith, on November 30, 1993, Robinson,

Rebman and Salway sailed the vessel GOOD TIMES from Seabrook,

Texas, to Jamaica.    They returned to Texas on December 19, 1993,

with their vessel loaded with 477 kilograms (c. 1051 pounds) of

marijuana.               This was

based on 400 to 600 (calculated as 400) pounds which Rebman and

Robinson brought from Jamaica to Freeport, Texas, aboard the SALUS,

on   some   date    after   September       1,   1990.   This   marijuana   was

transferred to a smaller boat and then to a Dodge motor home.               The

motor home was driven to Chin's residence in Huntington, New York,

where it was unloaded.           Rebman and Robinson were paid about

$150,000 for this marijuana.


   After the SALUS was sunk accidentally, Chin bought the vessel

HAPPY HOURS.       Rebman, Robinson, and two others sailed this vessel

to Jamaica, where it was loaded with 600 pounds of marijuana.               They

transported this marijuana to Chin's residence as they did in the

September 1990 operation.

      In April 1991, Rebman and Robinson again sailed the HAPPY

HOURS from Texas to Jamaica, where they loaded it with 600 pounds

of marijuana.       They brought this load to Lacombe, Louisiana and

transferred it to a mobile home.            This vehicle then was driven to

Chin'sNew York residence, where the marijuana was unloaded and

stored.

      On April 29, 1991, after an FBI search in New Orleans,

officials seized the HAPPY HOURS and found about three pounds of

marijuana on board.         Some of Chin's subordinates were prosecuted

and convicted in related cases, which interrupted Chin's, Rebman's

and Robinson's smuggling activities until about November 1, 1993.

                                        3
On that date, a confidential informant informed Customs Agents that

Rebman had offered to pay her $20,000 to sail with him, Robinson,

and Salway


   of

reliability to support this information.             He stated that it was

obtained from two individuals who had been arrested, and that it

"was corroborated and led to the conviction[s] of Charles Scott and

his son David Charles Scott on charges of money laundering drug

proceeds and conspiracy to distribute marijuana."

     The defendants had a lengthy evidentiary hearing on their

motions to suppress evidence.            At the hearing, Customs Agent

Timothy Unger testified that he learned of Robinson's and Rebman's

previous trips to Jamaica by accessing reports of Customs agents in

Florida by computer. The reports stated that in April and November

1992, Charles Scott had provided information that Robinsonand the guideline applications stated in the

Presentence Report.        The district court imposed three concurrent

prison terms of 120 months, plus five years of supervised release.

      At Robinson's sentencing hearing, his counsel again objected

to   the   court's   consideration   of   his   prior   trips   to   Jamaica.

Counsel argued that the names of the two arrested individuals who

provided this information had not been revealed and that the

Presentence Report addendum did not state how the information may

have been corroborated.       The Government called on Agent Unger for

a response, although the record does not show that he was sworn as

a witness in


  documented        confidential

informants in Florida, who by necessity must have been proven

reliable.      Robinson was unable to impeach Unger's testimony.

       Further, even if we assumed that the truthfulness of the

confidential informants was questionable, the district court in the

present case was free to rely on their information because of the

enormous amount of detail related in their accounts.                     "Uncertainty

about the veracity of an informant can . . . be compensated for by

detail of the statement or internal consistency of the statement

and surrounding facts."        United Statesoil barge in tow. Matton Oil Transfer Corporation, owner of the barge, brought a suit against the Greene, in which the tug was impleaded. The two cases were tried together, and a single opinion was rendered holding both the tug and the tanker at fault. The claimant of the tug, Motor Tug Choctaw, Inc., has alone appealed.
The facts as found by the district court may be summarized as follows: On the evening of January 25, 1940, the tug Choctaw, with the oil barge made fast on her starboard side, was proceeding westerly in the Kills bound from Bayonne to Sewaren; the tug was displaying regulation navigating lights and the barge had a proper white light on her starboard forward corner. The night was clear, there was no wind


and, with the flood tide underfoot, the tug was making somewhat more than three miles an hour. She was favoring the Staten Island shore and passed within 25 or 30 feet of channel buoy 3A on the southerly side of the channel, which is about 400 feet wide. When about abreast of this buoy, she observed the Greene proceeding eastward around the bend of Shooters Island. Her speed was 8 to 10 miles an hour. The Greene was on her left-hand side of the channel and the vessels were in position to pass starboard to starboard with a clearance of at least 150 feet, had the Greene continued on her course; but at a distance of about 300 feet from the Choctaw the tanker took a sharp swingtoward Staten Island, shutting out her green light and showing only her red. Alarms were sounded by both vessels and the tug's engines were reversed which tended to pull her tow to port. The Greene continued her swing at full speed, hoping to pass in front of the tug, but the bow of the barge, which extended 150 feet beyond the bow of the Choctaw, side-swiped the port side of the tanker. The collision occurred nearly abreast of buoy 5 on the southerly side of the channel. At the time the Choctaw sighted the Greene there was another tug, the Sarah, with a dump scow on her port side, proceeding westerly through the Kills. She had been passed by the Choctaw and was a short distance eastward of


the latter. There was also the tug John R. Williams, without tow, about abreast of the Choctaw. Both the Sarah and the Williams were on their own starboard side of the channel. They approached the Greene substantially head and head and intended to pass to port of her. Their masters corroborated the Choctaw's testimony as to the tanker's sharp swing to her right. The Greene's deckhand was in the pilot house with her master; he made no report of any lights. No lookout was stationed forward. The *620 master testified that he saw the red and green lights of a tug, which appeared to have a tow on her port side, and sounded a one-blast signal, although none of the navigators of the three approaching vessels heard it.The court found that the tow he saw was not the Choctaw and that the one-blast signal was not intended for the Choctaw. The Greene was held at fault for proceeding on the wrong side of the channel, failing to keep a proper lookout, and failing to observe that there were three and not merely one tug in the channel ahead of her. She has not appealed. The faults ascribed to the Choctaw were violation of the narrow channel rule and failure to sound a passing signal to the Greene. Her appeal presents the claim that she should have been exonerated.
In our opinion her appeal must fail. She was proceeding on the wrong side of a narrow channel in violation of Article 25 of the Inland Rules, 33

Find out more about the complete history and our long experience in business:Regardless of how you view the merits of the allegations and whether you think raising the issues will help or hurt Donald Trump politically, it's pretty easy to see why the candidate has embraced the idea of going after the former president (and, by extension, the current Democratic nominee): Trump has surrounded himself with a number of the most highly visible Clinton-fighters of the past two decades. Some are even members of Trump's senior campaign staff.

With the second debate looming and with it the prospect of Trump pushing forward on the Bill Clinton angle, we put together this look at the anti-Clinton forces in Trump's orbit.

The inner circle

Steve Bannon. Campaign chief executive, chairman of Breitbart News (on leave). Bannon came to the Trump campaign in August, when the


candidate was foundering after having botched his convention and his response to Clinton's. Bannon was the force behind the book “Clinton Cash,” written by Breitbart editor Peter Schweitzer, looking through how the Clinton Foundation raised money and suggesting overlap with Clinton's work at the State Department. The book was then turned into a documentary, which can be seen at Breitbart's website.

David Bossie. Deputy campaign manager, former head of Citizens United. Nowadays, “Citizens United” serves as shorthand for “increased money in politics,” thanks to the group acting as plaintiff in Citizens United v. FEC, a Supreme Court decision which allowed increased corporate activity in political campaigns. But the organization wasn't setting out to change election law: It was setting out to fight Hillary Clinton.

Citizens United planned to air afilm called “Hillary: The Movie” before the Democratic primaries in 2008, but existing law barred it from doing so. The goal of the film was clear: to undercut Clinton's political position. Bossie served as executive director of the movie and shepherded the organization's fight through the Supreme Court. Earlier this year, The Post's Ruth Marcus described Bossie as “the Captain Ahab of Clinton haters.”

The support crew

Roger Ailes. Informal adviser to the campaign, former chairman of Fox News. Ailes needs little introduction. Before being ousted from the network earlier this year after allegations of sexual harassment and assault emerged, Ailes ran Fox News. Ailes founded the network at the behest of Rupert Murdoch and was instrumental in focusing the network's resources on Bill Clinton during his time in the


Oval Office. Ailes's Fox News was one of the loudest voices in calling for Clinton to be impeached.

Rudolph W. Giuliani. Prominent campaign surrogate, former mayor of New York and 2000 Senate candidate. Giuliani's political career ended with his tenure as New York's mayor in December 2001. He hoped to be elected to the U.S. Senate, but he dropped out of the race after the near-simultaneous news both that he had early-stage prostate cancer and that he and his wife were separating following revelations that he'd been having a relationship with another woman. Eight years later, it again seemed as though Clinton and Giuliani would face off, this time in a race for the presidency. Each the early front-runners, neither received the nomination.

In preparation for the 2000 campaign, Giuliani'scampaign tested the idea of using Bill Clinton's infidelities to undercut Hillary Clinton's candidacy. The idea met with a strongly negative reaction.

The allies

Newt Gingrich. Campaign surrogate, former speaker of the House. Gingrich was probably Bill Clinton's most ferocious opponent in the 1990s, battling the president on policy issues and eventually forcing a shutdown of the federal government. After the revelation that Clinton had carried on an affair with Monica Lewinsky, Gingrich pushed Republicans to use the issue on the campaign trail. He orchestrated a last-minute ad blitz on the subject — a move that was seen as having contributed to the Republicans' devastating House losses that year that, in turn, led to his ouster as speaker.

Roger Stone. Longtime Trump confidante, political consultant. Stone, now working with a pro-Trump


super PAC, has long pushed for Trump to run for office and to dig up whatever information he could on the Clintons, however specious. Stone co-authored a book released last year called “The Clintons' War on Women.”

Ed Klein. Reporter and author of anti-Clinton books. Klein is probably the most productive anti-Clinton author, having written a number of books that include a number of detailed vignettes of negative behavior from both Clintons. After the release of “Blood Feud,” his book articulating an alleged war between the Clintons and the Obamas, The Week's Marc Ambinder noted that some of Klein's past reporting had been discredited and that the book resulted in “master logician Rush Limbaugh questioning the truthfulness of his dialogue and Fox News hosts finding aggressive ways to questioncooperation with Russian military intelligence, he voluntarily passed the Ukrainian agents his notes, laptop, disks and passwords to the software that he used to contact the Russian side,’ the court said.

The court arrested the suspect’s facility, including the laptop, cell phone, other data storage devices and his documents. The official is officially charged with state treason; the investigation into the case is underway.

On July 13, The International Centre for Peacekeeping and Security corrected the SBU’s information, saying that the detained suspect is the chief of the all arms training centre at Yaroriv firing range in Lviv region, western Ukraine; he does not chair the Centre for Peacekeeping and Security at the same time.


STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Swedish prosecutors ordered the release on Sunday of a man held on suspicion of plotting a “terrorist crime”, saying he was no longer a suspect.

Moder Mothama Magid, 22, was arrested on Thursday after a day-long nationwide manhunt during which Sweden was put on its highest ever terror alert. He was suspected of having plotted in Stockholm to carry out an unspecified “terrorist crime”. He had said he was innocent.

“The man is no longer a suspect,” prosecutor Hans Ihrman said in a statement.

Magid’s arrest in a building complex housing asylum seekers in northern Sweden unnerved the country as it came only days after the Islamist militant attacks in Paris that killed 130 people.

This appeal requires this court to confront, again, one of the most important and difficult questions currently facing the federal judiciary: the nature and scope of permissible remedies under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,42 U.S.C. § 2000e et seq.

Local 28 of the Sheet Metal Workers' International Association (hereinafter Local 28) is a union, based in New York City, with about 3,500 members.  Of this number, approximately three percent are persons of minority descent.1  The sheet metal workers who belong to Local 28 fabricate and install ducts and other equipment for ventilating, air-conditioning and heating systems.  Local 28 maintains jurisdiction over all five of the City's boroughs and exercises complete control over entry into the sheet metal trade in New York City.

3
The Sheet Metal and Air-Conditioning Contractors' Association of New York City, Inc.  (hereinafter the Contractors' Association) is a trade organization of builders who do sheet metal construction work.  The Contractors' Association has a collective bargaining agreement


violation of federal law.  However, the various unions were granted separate trials and, thus, the only defendants-appellants in this appeal are Local 28, the JAC, and the sheet metal Contractors' Association.3

6
In the proceeding below in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Local 28 and the JAC were found to have violated Title VII's ban on discriminatory employment and membership practices.  The court, Henry F. Werker, Judge, thereupon ordered a variety of remedial actions, including, inter alia, the institution of a court-appointed administrator to oversee Local 28 and the JAC, the payment of back pay to certain victims of past discrimination, the imposition of a remedial racial membership goal upon Local 28 and the replacement of one of the present JACa separate union in New York City predominantly composed of minority group blowpipe workers.  This group has been kept at arm's length by Local 28 notwithstanding their membership in the same International.

25
Local 28 has consistently accepted white transferees from allied construction unions while denying transfer to blacks with equivalent qualifications.  In particular, black blowpipe workers have been denied transfer into Local 28 while white workers from the same union have been allowed in.  This constitutes a particularly blatant form of discrimination since many of these minority blowpipe workers are entitled to transfer into Local 28 as a matter of right under the constitution of the International Association to which Local 28 belongs.

26
Local 28 has also issued temporary work permits to white members of allied construction
