Instead of actually joining the real campaigns at the state level, Hirshberg has feigned involvement to the press and through corporate PR efforts, while a series of ballot initiatives have narrowly lost after being massively outspent, and he's made off with millions of dollars in donations that could have made the difference in California, Washington, Oregon and Colorado.""What setting up a corporate front group does is ensure that Hirshberg has a seat at the table in negotiating any federal GMO labeling bill, which is essential to Danone and his corporate organic friends who want to water down any bill to protect their profits," reads the Organic Spies allegations document.Natural News welcomes a response from Gary Hirshberg andvote in California, Gary Hirshberg intentionally diverted resources from the campaign by holding fundraisers in California, including LA, where he misled celebrities to believe they were raising awareness and donating to Prop. 37," a source told Natural News. "Instead, Hirshberg raised money and media attention for his own organization, Just Label It, which focuses solely on a national labeling standard.""In each successive GMO labeling ballot initiative, Hirshberg has donated insignificant amounts [of money] and encouraged his fellow organic company CEOs to give token amounts as well," the same source explains."I disagree with Gary Hirshberg chairman of Stonyfield Farm and leader of Just Label It, for putting all his eggs in the federal basket," wrote attorney Michele Simon, author of Appetite for Profit .

From 2007 to 2012, he worked for the Grocery Manufacturers of America, the very same anti-labeling organization that committed actual crimes in Washington State while carrying out illegal election money laundering to hide the names of corporate donors that oppose GMO labeling.During every state GMO ballot measure, the GMA has viciously fought to block labeling laws, and it has been largely successful in doing so. To realize that Scott Faber held a high position in this organization for five years and is now the Executive Director ofraises a long list of red flags. This is even more interesting when considering the financial web between Danone and Gary Hirshberg's company Stonyfield Farm."Hirshberg and his corporate organic cronies have handed America's GMO labeling movement over to a corrupt hiredits own scientists and then violated a federal statute and its own regulations by permitting GE foods to be marketed without any testing whatsoever," writes Jane Goodall in the foreword of the book Altered Genes, Twisted Truth - How the Venture to Genetically Engineer Our Food Has Subverted Science, Corrupted Government, and Systematically Deceived the Public by Steven Druker.Biotech's infiltration and corruption of the mainstream media is also documented in the book. "[J]ournalists who tried to bring unsettling facts to light had their stories altered or totally quashed by higher level executives," writes Jane Goodall.Given biotech's successful infiltration of the media, the U.S. government, science journals and universities, it's no leap at all to realize that infiltration of the GMO labeling movement is far more than merely likely:Perhaps


that's why so many voices in the industry are now saying, and that Gary Hirshberg and Scott Faber are essentially "Monsanto minions" who have turnedinto a biotech front group intended toGMO labeling, not achieve it.As the Organic Spies writes, "[A]nother new front group that Hirshberg serves on as a 'co-chair', named AGree, is a massive threat to the organic movement.""Hirshberg's connections to Michael Taylor and Tom Vilsack are almost tame compared to his involvement with another corporate agribusiness front group called AGree. AGree launched in the spring of 2011 and is controlled by former Monsanto and Solutia board member, William Ruckelshaus and Gordon Conway, who promoted GMOs for more than a decade at the Rockefeller foundation. As one of the "co-chairs" of the new organization, Hirshberg is collaboratingwith a rogues gallery of former top USDA, USAID officials that have a history of promoting GMOs and industrial agriculture, but now want to create a policy based decision 'framework' making process to 'address' challenges in agriculture for the future. Not surprising, AGree is fully funded by the Billionaire pro GMO, pro industrial farming monoculture globalist foundations, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation and The Walton Family Foundation, led by the heirs of the WalMart fortune."The AGree website features cooperation with corporate partner National Geographic, which recently ran a brazenly dishonest hit piece entitled "THE WAR ON SCIENCE" which characterized anyone who disagreed with Monsanto's science fraud as being equivalent to those who "think the moon landing was faked." (This derogatory tactic of declaring anyone


who opposes genetically engineered seeds as being "anti-science" is borrowed straight out of Monsanto's play book.)According to the AGree website , its co-chairs include people who have deep ties to the biotech and processed food industries:- former USDA Secretary of Agriculture, "who helped lead the Monsanto deregulation charge under President Bill Clinton," says Organic Spies.- former USDA Deputy Secretary, "who was appointed to the USDA for his corrupt promotion of factory farms for the National Pork Producers Council," says Organic Spies.- an "agribusiness lifer who spent 30 years with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) that promotes GMOs," says Organic Spies.The AGree mission statement reads like Dilbert comic strip "corporate speak":"AGree is incubated within the Meridian Institute, which is led by two men deeply connected to thebiotech industry, each having used their elite ties to promote Monsanto's chemical GMO agenda around the world. Meridian Board Members: William Ruckelshaus, Gordon Conway, William Ruckelshaus, who serves as Chairman for the Meridian Institute, previously served as the first administrator of the EPA under Richard Nixon, where he banned DDT.

      Althea Ray was employed by Houston Independent School District
(“HISD”) on a one-year, probationary contract for the 2008–2009 school year, and
she was assigned to teach at Isaacs Elementary School. On March 24, 2009, Ray
received a letter signed by HISD’s Superintendent of Schools, stating that
HISD’s Board of Education had decided not to renew her probationary contract
for the following school year. This termination did not affect Ray’s continued
employment for the 2008–2009 school year. After she received the notice, Ray
requested several hearings to address the cause of HISD’s non-renewal of her
contract. HISD did not grant Ray’s requests on the basis that its decision was
final and could not be appealed.
 A decade under the yoke of US military and years of ongoing sectarian violence in the shadow of Islamic State threat have nurtured an entire generation of young Iraqis who believe Washington is not a liberator but the prime enemy of their country.

After conducting 250 face-to-face interviews in three Iraqi cities, the Arab Youth Survey has discovered that 93 percent of respondents aged between 18 to 24 years old see the US as an enemy. Only 6 percent of young Iraqis considered it to be an ally, while one percent could not decide.

Hardly surprising that US is seen as the prime source of evil in the country, considering that the young generation has been raised in war and chaos that followed the American invasion of the country in


2003. And while the bulk of US forces left the country in December 2011, they were quick to return in June 2014, to help it defend against the Islamic State.

Since the invasion which led to destruction of state institutions and the rise of lawlessness up to a million Iraqis lost their lives. While statistics greatly differ in numbers, most experts would agree that US forces have left a trail of death, destruction, and instability that materialized into constant sectarian violence and the eventual rise of the Islamic State.

Instability the survey found, is the primary drive for young people joining the ISIS cause across the region, which conducted polls with 3,250 people in 16 countries all over the Arab world. Some 24 percent across the board blamed the81 per cent as enemy. The number is somewhat lower in Lebanon, with 65 percent of the country’s youth of the opinion that the US is their country’s enemy.

In Lebanon and Palestine, the youth view US as the backer of Israel, which is seen as the aggressor by the respective young people in the region. In 2006 Israel fought a war with Lebanon with massive airstrikes and artillery fire, in addition to air and naval blockade, and a ground invasion of southern Lebanon. Over 1,100 people, including combatants were killed.

Palestine continues to have bitter relations with Israel and considers it as an occupier with tremendous support from the US. Largely due to special-interest lobbying, US taxpayers provide Israel with more US funds than any other nation. Youth in

Jorginho James (RGV) – The Toros got a boost from Jamaican midfielder Jorginho James as he picked out the bottom-right corner of the net from 25 yards in their clash with Sacramento Republic FC at H-E-B Park.First, Stefan Schneider offers a broad overview of reduced parenthetical constructions (RPCs) in French, Italian, and Spanish (e.g. French: ''Ca faisait partie de ces-disons donnés'' 'That was part of these, let's say, cultural data' example 1:238) focused specifically on developing a pragmatic typology of these constructions. After an initial characterization of RPCs, Schneider presents the results of a corpus survey and proposes several classificatory conditions that include the presence of a finite verb in the parenthetical construction, the lack of overt syntactic link between the RPC and the host, and occurrence of the RPC in both medial and final positions. Next, Scheider summarizes the corpus tokens by describing their pragmatic function. For instance, many RPCs are used as mitigating devices while others are employed as a means of


the first being that the scope of the volume was dictated largely by the range of papers presented at the original workshop on parenthetical constructions. A second reply may include the recognition that the process of initiating further discussion of this set of elements is best served by addressing the most pressing theoretical concerns, specifically those related to structure and interpretation. In light of this view, restriction to the topic of syntax provides only a rallying point for what has become and will continue to be a fruitful area of research.

One other possible shortcoming concerns the range of languages addressed.

Homeless families occupy showhouse to highlight their plight

Protesters in the Hansfield development demonstrate in support of homeless people

Homeless families continued their occupation of a showhouse on an estate in Ongar, west Dublin, for a second day to draw attention to the housing crisis.

Supporters gathered at Ongar village yesterday evening to walk to the house for a rally.

They were accompanied by Anti-Austerity Alliance TD Ruth Coppinger.

She said the families were demanding that social and affordable housing be made available in the Hansfield estate development and the local area.

"We have 6,000 on the list, and 120 homeless families," the Dublin West TD told the Herald.

Instead of profiting from vote splits, the Conservatives would suffer from fragmentation of their own base. Socially conservative party members — opponents of abortion, gay marriage, and sex education — would be the first to flee the Tories to form their own fringe “family values” parties (the pro-life party, the marriage party, and so on) confident of modest but guaranteed representation in the House of Commons, and the potential to wield the balance of power in a hung Parliament. And without a reason to “unite the right,” the Reform Party would make a comeback.

While PR rewards extreme views and outliers, AV encourages candidates to broaden their appeal to all voters in hopes of being marked as a second or third choice (something even Conservatives are capable of doing when it’s in their electoral interest, as in Ontario today).

Back in the 1920s, Alberta and Manitoba experimented with a hybrid model: They adopted the ranked ballot in rural areas, but in densely-populated cities they went one step further with a system called STV (single transferable vote) — creating multi-member ridings that provided more opportunity for second-place and third-place parties toYoungstown, California

KARACHI, Pakistan — It was happening again, but worse than ever: Hundreds of thousands of ethnic Rohingya Muslims were fleeing Myanmar while under attack by the security forces, and the deaths kept mounting.

Everybody in the vast Arkanabad slum of Karachi has family members who were affected by the government raids that started last month.

Outside Myanmar, and perhaps now Bangladesh, Pakistan is home to the highest concentration of Rohingya in the world, from a previous exodus of Rohingya in the 1970s and ’80s. A vast majority live in neighborhoods that are distressingly impoverished even by Karachi’s standards.

Now they are angry that Pakistan is not doing more to stop the killing in Myanmar, let alone improve the condition of the estimated 500,000 Rohingya who live in this country.Center for Jewish-Arab Economic Development "Excellence in Running Small Businesses" Conference

For example, at the State Department we have launched several initiatives to help women entrepreneurs overcome the barriers they confront.

Women's entrepreneurship is a top priority. Fortune's most powerful businesswomen has partnered with State Depart to provide leadership training, capacity building and mentoring to emerging business women from around the world.

We have launched several initiatives to grow women's entrepreneurship so they can better participate in regional trade from Latin America to Central Asia. Just this past week the leaders of governments in the Asia Pacific region and the 21 economies they represent gathered in Hawaii and recognized thatwomen and the economy are a critical cross-cutting issue to advance economic growth. The leaders urged that efforts be made on the San Francisco Declaration which was adopted in September at the first-ever APEC meeting which focused on women and the economy. High level ministers and private sector representatives from the region participated. They committed themselves to addressing critical areas for women entrepreneurs: access to capital so women entrepreneurs can turn their ideas into the small and medium enterprises that are the source of job creation and growth; access to markets so those who start businesses can keep them open; and access to training and mentoring which are so vital to every businesswoman's success. The fourth area was support for women leaders in the public and private sectors

Tabloids in the Philippines are usually written in local languages, like Tagalog or Bisaya, but some are written in English, like the People's Journal and Tempo. Like their common journalistic connotations, Philippine tabloids usually report sensationalist crime stories and celebrity gossip, and some tabloids feature topless photos of girls. Several tabloids are vernacular counterparts of English broadsheet newspapers by the same publisher, like Pilipino Star Ngayon (The Philippine Star), Bandera (Philippine Daily Inquirer), and Balita (Manila Bulletin).

The Berliner format, used by many prominent European newspapers, is sized between the tabloid and the broadsheet.

The biggest tabloid (and newspaper in general) in Europe, by circulation, is Germany's Bild, with around 2.5 million copies (down from above 5 million in the 1980s). Although its paper size is bigger, its style was copied from the British tabloids.

In 1904 it began producing baby food, first known as Defiance, then as Glaxo. The Glaxo Laboratories sign is visible on what is now a car repair shop on the main street of Bunnythorpe. The companys first pharmaceutical product, produced in 1920, was vitamin D, Glaxo Laboratories opened new units in London in 1935. The company bought two companies, Joseph Nathan


and Allen & Hanburys in 1947 and 1958 respectively, the Scottish pharmacologist David Jack was working for Allen & Hanburys when Glaxo took it over, he went on to lead the companys R&D until 1987. After the company bought Meyer Laboratories in 1978, it began to play an important role in the US market, in 1983 the American arm, Glaxo Inc. moved to Research Triangle Park and Zebulon in North Carolina. Burroughs Wellcome & Company was founded in 1880 in London by the American pharmacists Henry Wellcome, the Wellcome Tropical Research Laboratories opened in 1902.

In 1959 the Wellcome Company bought Cooper, McDougallearlier medical recipes, such as those from 4000 BC, were for liquid preparations rather than solids. The first references to pills were found on papyruses in ancient Egypt, medicinal ingredients, such as plant powders or spices, were mixed in and formed by hand to make little balls, or pills. In ancient Greece, such medicines were known as katapotia, and the Roman scholar Pliny, Pills have always been difficult to swallow and efforts long have been made to make them go down easier. In medieval times, people coated pills with slippery plant substances, another approach, used as recently as the 19th century, was to gild them in gold and silver, although this often meant that they would pass through the digestive tract with no effect. In the 1800s sugar-coating


and gelatin-coating was invented, as were gelatin capsules, in 1843, the British painter and inventor William Brockedon was granted a patent for a machine capable of Shaping Pills, Lozenges and Black Lead by Pressure in Dies. The device was capable of compressing powder into a tablet without use of an adhesive, today, pills include tablets, capsules, and variants thereof like caplets—essentially anything with medication that can be digested, minus the liquid forms, colloquially falls into the pill category. A caplet is a smooth, coated, oval-shaped medicinal tablet in the shape of a capsule. Many caplets have a running down the middle so they may be split in half easier. An orally disintegrating tablet or orodispersible tablet, is a dosage form available for a limited range of over-the-counter. Inthe tablet-pressing process, it is important that all ingredients be fairly dry, powdered or granular, somewhat uniform in particle size, content uniformity ensures that the same API dose is delivered with each tablet. Some APIs may be tableted as pure substances, but this is rarely the case, normally, a pharmacologically inactive ingredient termed a binder is added to help hold the tablet together and give it strength

United Kingdom
–
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom or Britain, is a sovereign country in western Europe. Lying off the north-western coast of the European mainland, the United Kingdom includes the island of Great Britain, Northern Ireland is the only part of the United Kingdom that shares a land border with another sovereign state—the


Republic of Ireland. The Irish Sea lies between Great Britain and Ireland, with an area of 242,500 square kilometres, the United Kingdom is the 78th-largest sovereign state in the world and the 11th-largest in Europe. It is also the 21st-most populous country, with an estimated 65.1 million inhabitants, together, this makes it the fourth-most densely populated country in the European Union. The United Kingdom is a monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance. The monarch is Queen Elizabeth II, who has reigned since 6 February 1952, other major urban areas in the United Kingdom include the regions of Birmingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Liverpool and Manchester. The United Kingdom consists of four countries—England, Scotland, Wales, the last three have devolved administrations, each with varying powers, based in their capitals, Edinburgh,Cardiff and Belfast, respectively. The relationships among the countries of the UK have changed over time, Wales was annexed by the Kingdom of England under the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542. A treaty between England and Scotland resulted in 1707 in a unified Kingdom of Great Britain, which merged in 1801 with the Kingdom of Ireland to form the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. Five-sixths of Ireland seceded from the UK in 1922, leaving the present formulation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, there are fourteen British Overseas Territories. These are the remnants of the British Empire which, at its height in the 1920s, British influence can be observed in the language, culture and legal systems of many of its former colonies. The


United Kingdom is a country and has the worlds fifth-largest economy by nominal GDP. The UK is considered to have an economy and is categorised as very high in the Human Development Index. It was the worlds first industrialised country and the worlds foremost power during the 19th, the UK remains a great power with considerable economic, cultural, military, scientific and political influence internationally. It is a nuclear weapons state and its military expenditure ranks fourth or fifth in the world. The UK has been a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council since its first session in 1946 and it has been a leading member state of the EU and its predecessor, the European Economic Community, since 1973. However, on 23 June 2016, a referendum onfeasibility and exact methods of resource allocation and calculation for a socialist system are the subjects of the socialist calculation debate. Core dichotomies associated with these concerns include reformism versus revolutionary socialism, the term is frequently used to draw contrast to the political system of the Soviet Union, which critics argue operated in an authoritarian fashion. By the 1920s, social democracy and communism became the two dominant political tendencies within the international socialist movement, by this time, Socialism emerged as the most influential secular movement of the twentieth century, worldwide. Socialist parties and ideas remain a force with varying degrees of power and influence in all continents. Today, some socialists have also adopted the causes of social movements. The origin of the term socialism may be traced back


Marie Roch Louis Reybaud in France, the term communism also fell out of use during this period, despite earlier distinctions between socialism and communism from the 1840s. An early distinction between socialism and communism was that the former aimed to only socialise production while the latter aimed to socialise both production and consumption. However, by 1888 Marxists employed the term socialism in place of communism, linguistically, the contemporary connotation of the words socialism and communism accorded with the adherents and opponents cultural attitude towards religion. In Christian Europe, of the two, communism was believed to be the atheist way of life, in Protestant England, the word communism was too culturally and aurally close to the Roman Catholic communion rite, hence English atheists denoted themselves socialists. Friedrich Engels arguedare mixed economies, which elements of free markets with state intervention. Capitalism has existed under many forms of government, in different times, places. Following the decline of mercantilism, mixed capitalist systems became dominant in the Western world, Capitalism has been criticized for prioritizing profit over social good, natural resources, and the environment, and that is a cause of inequality and economic instabilities. Supporters believe that it provides better products through competition, and creates strong economic growth, the term capitalist, meaning an owner of capital, appears earlier than the term capitalism. It dates back to the mid-17th century, capitalist is derived from capital, which evolved from capitale, a late Latin word based on caput, meaning head – also the origin of chattel and cattle in the sense of movable


property. Capitale emerged in the 12th to 13th centuries in the sense of referring to funds, stock of merchandise, sum of money, by 1283 it was used in the sense of the capital assets of a trading firm. It was frequently interchanged with a number of other words – wealth, money, funds, goods, assets, property, the Hollandische Mercurius uses capitalists in 1633 and 1654 to refer to owners of capital. In French, Étienne Clavier referred to capitalistes in 1788, six years before its first recorded English usage by Arthur Young in his work Travels in France, David Ricardo, in his Principles of Political Economy and Taxation, referred to the capitalist many times. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, an English poet, used capitalist in his work Table Talk, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon usedthe term capitalist in his first work, What is Property. To refer to the owners of capital, benjamin Disraeli used the term capitalist in his 1845 work Sybil. The initial usage of the term capitalism in its modern sense has been attributed to Louis Blanc in 1850, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels referred to the capitalistic system. And to the capitalist mode of production in Das Kapital, the use of the word capitalism in reference to an economic system appears twice in Volume I of Das Kapital, p.124, and in Theories of Surplus Value, tome II, p.493. Marx did not extensively use the form capitalism but instead those of capitalist, and capitalist mode of production, also according to the OED, Carl Adolph Douai, a German-American socialist and abolitionist,


of issues. In contrast to the definition of conservatism, political theorists such as Corey Robin define conservatism primarily in terms of a general defense of social. In Great Britain, conservative ideas emerged in the Tory movement during the Restoration period, Toryism supported a hierarchical society with a monarch who ruled by divine right. Tories opposed the idea that sovereignty derived from the people, and rejected the authority of parliament, Robert Filmers Patriarcha, or the Natural Power of Kings, published posthumously in 1680 but written before the English Civil War of 1642–1651, became accepted as the statement of their doctrine. However, the Glorious Revolution of 1688 destroyed this principle to some degree by establishing a government in England. Faced with defeat, the Tories reformed their movement, now holding thatsovereignty was vested in the three estates of Crown, Lords, and Commons rather than solely in the Crown, Toryism became marginalized during the long period of Whig ascendancy in the 18th century. Conservatives typically see Richard Hooker as the father of conservatism, along with the Marquess of Halifax, David Hume. Halifax promoted pragmatism in government, whilst Hume argued against political rationalism and utopianism, Burke served as the private secretary to the Marquis of Rockingham and as official pamphleteer to the Rockingham branch of the Whig party. Together with the Tories, they were the conservatives in the late 18th century United Kingdom, Burkes views were a mixture of liberal and conservative. He supported the American Revolution of 1765–1783 but abhorred the violence of the French Revolution and he insisted


on standards of honor derived from the medieval aristocratic tradition, and saw the aristocracy as the nations natural leaders. That meant limits on the powers of the Crown, since he found the institutions of Parliament to be better informed than commissions appointed by the executive and he favored an established church, but allowed for a degree of religious toleration. Burke justified the order on the basis of tradition, tradition represented the wisdom of the species and he valued community. Burke was a leading theorist in his day, finding extreme idealism an endangerment to broader liberties, despite their influence on future conservative thought, none of these early contributors were explicitly involved in Tory politics. Hooker lived in the 16th century, long before the advent of toryism, whilst Hume wasan apolitical philosopher, Burke described himself as a Whig. Shortly after Burkes death in 1797, conservatism revived as a political force as the Whigs suffered a series of internal divisions

Populism
–
Populism is a political doctrine that proposes that the common people are exploited by a privileged elite, and which seeks to resolve this. The underlying ideology of populists can be left, right, or center and its goal is uniting the uncorrupt and the unsophisticated little man against the corrupt dominant elites and their camp of followers. It is guided by the belief that political and social goals are best achieved by the actions of the masses. Political parties and politicians often use the terms populist and populism as pejoratives against their opponents, such a view sees populism as demagogy,


merely appearing to empathize with the public through rhetoric or unrealistic proposals in order to increase appeal across the political spectrum. Populism is most common in democratic nations, historically, academic definitions of populism vary, and people have often used the term in loose and inconsistent ways to reference appeals to the people, demagogy, and catch-all politics. The term has also used as a label for new parties whose classifications are unclear. In recent years, academic scholars have produced definitions that facilitate populist identification and comparison, in the United States and Latin America, populism has generally been associated with the left, whereas in European countries, populism is more associated with the right. In both, the tenet of populism—that democracy should reflect the pure and undiluted will of the people—meansit can sit easily with ideologies of both right and left. Cas Mudde says, Many observers have noted that populism is inherent to representative democracy, after all, most recently, many observers have categorized the rise of Donald Trump in the U. S. and Rodrigo Duterte in the Philippines as populist in nature. Populism has taken left-wing, right-wing, and even centrist forms, as well as forms of politics that bring together groups and individuals of diverse partisan views. The use of populist rhetoric in the United States has recently included references such as the trial lawyer lobby. Subsistence peasant movements, such as the Eastern European Green Rising militias, intellectuals who romanticize hard-working farmers and peasants and build radical agrarian movements like the Russian narodniki. Populist democracy, including calls for


political participation through reforms such as the use of popular referenda. Politicians populism marked by non-ideological appeals for the people to build a unified coalition, reactionary populism, such as the white backlash harvested by George Wallace. Populist dictatorship, such as established by Getúlio Vargas in Brazil. Scholars have argued that populist elements have appeared in authoritarian movements. Conspiracist scapegoating employed by various populist movements can create a seedbed for fascism, National Socialist populism interacted with and facilitated fascism in interwar Germany. In this case, distressed middle–class populists mobilized their anger against the government, the Nazis parasitized the forms and themes of the populists and moved their constituencies far to the right through ideological appeals involving demagoguery, scapegoating, and conspiracism

Murdoch found he had such a rapport with Larry Lamb over lunch that other potential recruits as editor were not interviewed, Lamb wanted Bernard Shrimsley to be his deputy, which Murdoch accepted as Shrimsley had been the second name on his list of preferences. Lamb hastily recruited a staff of about 125 reporters, who were selected for their availability rather than their ability.

In 1991, Iraq invaded Kuwait, and a US-led coalition counterattacked with Operation Desert Storm. A year later, Al Qadiri bought a copy of the console game Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf, based on the same war he had just experienced. Time disappeared, reality faded, and 20 years later, he made a cold and electronic maxi-single in which terror, childhood, war and games were synthesized, inspired by the militarist

Ann Leckie, Ancillary Justice(2013)

The main character is a warship, which used to be part of a hive mind of AI, in search of revenge, so that the “hard science fiction” label could fit. However, it is also a feminist book, set in a genderless universe (with feminine pronouns by default), and it’s full of questions about identity, individuality and freedom to choose, which also gives it a lot of social awareness. Leckie won the Hugo, Nebula and Arthur C. Clarke awards in 2014, becoming the first writer to receive all three for the same book.

James Tiptree Jr., (pseudonym of Alice Sheldon), Up the Walls of the World (1978)reported that a deal had been reached to allow remaining ISIL fighters to withdraw from the city as well as the dam. SDF and its commanders however denied any deal had been reached, adding that clashes were still ongoing against ISIL in a village near Tabqa and the three northern districts of the town including some militants who were hiding among civilians.

End of the battle

By 10 May, there were still two ISIL holdouts in the Tabqa area. On one side, 14 Chechen and French African ISIL fighters, members of the elite Ingimassayeen units, still held the control room, the floodgates, and a number of tunnels inside Tabqa Dam. Even though they were left without light or fresh air, as the SDF had shut down all electricity to the

Although _Famous Women_ is a complex and intricate work, it is possible to sift out from its multifaceted vision of human history a coherent, comprehensible system of values which the author employs in a consistent manner. Far from denying the intricacies of _Famous Women_ , I contend that the moral framework which sustains the text allows for the assimilation of a rich variety of lives and experiences while providing a cohesiveness of argument that accounts, with a marked degree of reliability, for differential evaluations of superficially similar behavior.


begun in the late 1360s, it was left unfinished until after Donato's move to Ferrara in 1381, when he was appointed chancellor to Alberto d'Este. Donato became tutor to the young Niccolo III in the early 1390s and before his death in 1411 dedicated his translation, _Delle donne famose_ , to his illustrious pupil. On this translation see Vittorio Zaccaria, "I volgarizzamenti del Boccaccio latino a Venezia," _Studi sul Boccaccio_ 10 (1977–8): 268–91; Claudio Scarpati, "Note sulla fortuna editoriale del Boccaccio: I volgarizzamenti cinquecenteschi delle opere latine," in _Boccaccio in Europe_ , ed.

Eyewitnesses reported the patient had been lying on his stomach after impacting the ground but later managed to roll on his back by himself. A physician-led emergency medical service arrived on the scene in 10 minutes, finding the patient verbally responsive and making an effort to get up.

Severe facial trauma compromising the airway and, within a few minutes, cessation of spontaneous respiration necessitated rapid sequence intubation which proved challenging with several failed attempts. Asystole was observed on ECG prompting resuscitation effortsGiven what the military did to rob her party of its 1990 election victory, and to arrest, torture, and kill generations of democratic activists, it is hard to imagine that she does not have a fierce desire for legal accountability, if not vengeance. But Suu Kyi follows Gandhi on the path to forgiveness: "If we march the long road to freedom in hatred, what we find at the end is not freedom but another prison," she told the San Francisco Freedom Forum. She made clear repeatedly on her American tour that she is relentlessly focused on the future. And she urged her fellow Burmese, here and at home, and her international well-wishers to do the same. "You can't be driven by ideology or romanticism," she cautioned her Burmese


American audience at the University of San Francisco. The judicial action she urgently seeks is the institutional rebuilding of a thoroughly decimated legal system. The battle for democracy will not be won, she stressed, until Burma achieves "an independent, free, and well-trained judiciary."

The same is true for the legislature, of course. Having been elected to parliament in April by-elections (which saw her party sweep 43 of the 44 seats it contested), she is wasting no time in making that new institutional opportunity work to develop democracy in Burma. One of the regime's most powerful figures, parliament speaker Thura Shwe Mann, reached out to her by appointing her to chair a new parliamentary "Committee on the Rule of Law and Tranquility."

and a garage was built on the eastern side of the building. A hay shed at the rear of the property was replaced by a bowling green and clubhouse. More recently, a set of units have been built adjacent to the bowling green. Both the units and the bowling green are privately leased. An additional concrete block garage with a coloured metal sheeting roof has also been added behind the presbytery.

In the second half of the twentieth century, a succession of priests resided at the presbytery. St Mary's Presbytery continues to function as the dwelling of Warwick's resident priest and as administrative centre for the parish.

was by training a lawyer. He became interested in math and physics around 1800 and started working with electricity and metallic salts. Despite his lack of formal training, he did end up with a post as the chair of theoretical physics at the University of Turin. One of his projects was determining the electronegativity of various elements. He is best known for, and has the mole name after him because of, his "molecular hypothesis", first suggested in an essay in 1811. He suggested that molecules in a gas are scattered such that the average distance is constant when the temperature and pressure are constant. That is, that at the same temperature and pressure, there are the same number of molecules in a set volume of one gas asthe 19th century, scientists were still debating about the nature of atoms, molecules, and their divisibility, and to make matters worse, they were starting to write formulas, diagrams, and calculate masses without a standard system. They could not agree on notations and other conventions, such as how to write chemical formulas or what the standard weight for describing an atom would be. In order to deal with these problems, August Kekulé (1829-1896) organized what came to be known as the Karlsruhe Congress, which met in September 1860 in Karlsruhe, Germany. The hero of the day was Stanislao Cannizzaro, who had written an article in 1858 that was based on Avogadro's hypothesis. This paper was circulated at the conference, and in it Cannizzaro suggested that the weight of hydrogen

A Son of Satan

A Son of Satan is a 1924 silent race film directed, written, produced and distributed by Oscar Micheaux. The film follows the misadventures of a man who accepted a bet to spend a night in a haunted house. Micheaux shot the film in The Bronx, New York, and Roanoke, Virginia.

A Son of Satan ran into distribution problems when state censorship boards rejected the film based on its contents. New York censors objected to the film’s depiction of violence, particularly against women and animals (a cat is killed onscreen in one scene, a Ku Klux Klan leader is slain, and a man chokes his wife to death), while Virginia censors complained the film’s references to miscegenation would "prove offensive to Southern ladies".

Hong Kong has moved two places up to seventh in the latest World Economic Forum’s (WEF) global competitiveness report, which was released on Wednesday.

The WEF assessed the competitiveness of 148 countries and economies, focusing on 12 main areas that determine their level of productivity. These areas include economic performance, infrastructure, education system, investment and business environment.

In the 2013-2014 report, Hong Kong obtained an overall score of 5.5 out of 7. Switzerland in first place had a score of 5.67, second-place Singapore, 5.61.

Hong Kong was ranked top in infrastructure for the fourth consecutive year, with the report praising the “outstanding quality of [Hong Kong’s] facilities across all modes of transportation”.

Hong Kong was also first in the area of financial market development, described in the report ashaving a high level of efficiency, trustworthiness and stability.

But the report did say Hong Kong needed improvement in the areas of higher education, where it ranked 22nd, and innovation, where it ranked 23rd.

“In the latter category, the quality of research institutions and the limited availability of scientists and engineers remained the two key issues to be addressed,” the report said.

The other countries ahead of Hong Kong were Finland in third place, followed by Germany, the United Sates and Sweden.

The Netherlands, Japan and the United Kingdom followed Hong Kong to round out the top 10.

China ranked 29th in the report, same as last year. The report noted that the country’s macroeconomic situation remained favourable, with a public debt-to-GDP ratio of 22.9 per cent – among the lowest in the
