against any of Asmodeus' visitors. His insults were legendary, and his words earned him a reputation as the most hated fiend in the nine hells. His death would have come a long time ago, were it not for the friendship he kindled with Betray. Asmodeus' assassin was the only demon other than the king himself who Scorn would not insult, thanks to a bet that they had made between themselves. Challenged to a duel to the death by the bufoon berserker, Betray disarmed him with a dinner knife and threatened to end his life. Scorn found this, as he found everything in life, hilarious, and swore to never speak a bad word of Betray again. Betray grudgingly accepted his offer, and in return he would intercept any othera curse on his name. Honing his hurtful magicks day in and day out, eventually he made a mistake. His eldritch trap was sprung, and instead of the screams of pain of a victim, he heard the roar of anger of an archdevil. The devil stalked him through his tunnels, relentless and insane with agony. When he was eventually caught, Spite was strung up and burned with fire and cold in the city of Malagard. This was where Asmodeus' found him, a pitiful miscreant with only loathing in his soul. Offering him his freedom, he made only one request. That that same hatred would be applied to whoever Asmodeus designated by imbuing his soul in to a rod of rancorous power. 13

Meanwhile, in the midst of Phlegethos, an army of great skill and considerable determination swarmed the city of Abrimyoch, a city that had gone untaken in centuries. Subjugate stood at the head of the ranks, demanding the full surrender of the city to her control. By the time help had been requested from Asmodeus, she sat upon Phlegethos' throne, regal and imperious in her splendor. Asmodeus found himself almost entranced by the dominating visage, and immediately subdued her with his own vast will and magic. Energy expended, but need for command still iron in form, Subjugate accepted his offer to lead his forces.

Lynn's Paradise Cafe statues vandalized

A handful of the painted concrete statues were vandalized in the parking lot of Lynn's Paradise Café on Friday.

The head of a concrete hippo was broken and a concrete calf was pushed into the parking lot. Photos of a pink concrete pig lying on its side on a sidewalk were also seen online.

The closure of the popular restaurant on Barret Avenue two years ago has caused concerns in the surrounding neighborhood, and several businesses near the vacant restaurant have since closed. Some of the closures were blamed, at least in part, on reduced foot traffic from Lynn's.

The restaurant's closure led to a one-woman protest Saturday outside the property that drew some 20 supporters.

The protest included signs that said, "Lynn Stop Holding Our Neighborhood Hostage"6:27 PM,

Until 1965 his territory included LaSalle County and during such period of 16 years he rose to the position of district manager. In 1965 he was transferred to Cincinnati, Ohio and then to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In June and July of 1967 John Kendrick withdrew his profit sharing funds and resigned. John Kendrick and Marguerite, the appellant, then moved to LaSalle, Illinois and according to plaintiff set up an exterminating business of their own.
A provision of the employment contract between Arwell and John Kendrick provided in substance that Kendrick would not compete directly or indirectly with the business of plaintiff within an area of 20 miles from *633 any place where the covenantor had worked for plaintiff for a period of two years after termination of employment. Admittedly LaSalle,Illinois is within the area included in such provision and it was also undisputed that the activities complained of took place within two years from termination of employment.
As a defense to the action defendant John Kendrick claimed and endeavored to prove by the evidence that the restrictive covenant was void and unenforcible and that in any event he had not violated the covenant because the exterminating business in La Salle was solely the business of his wife Marguerite. It was the position of Marguerite Kendrick, defendant-appellant, that the exterminating business was hers and that the covenant could not be enforced against her since she was a stranger to the employment contract.
After a full hearing, injunctive relief was granted against each defendant but as indicated earlier only Marguerite Kendrick


Exterminating Business established in La Salle, was her own business there is substantial evidence from which the contrary may be inferred justifying the inference that appellant was acting in concert with her husband to evade the duty imposed upon him by the covenant. The funds which John Kendrick received from the profit sharing plan went into the business. John Kendrick helped select a building, truck, and, was otherwise involved in the business all with the knowing participation of appellant. Another employee of Arwell was solicited to terminate his employment with Arwell and come to work for the Kendrick Exterminating Business. While the evidence is conflicting whether he was employed by John Kendrick or Marguerite Kendrick the conflict illustrates the basic reason for the propriety of the trial court'saction. Marguerite Kendrick was only nominally the proprietor of an exterminating business in La Salle. As between John and Marguerite Kendrick it was a matter of form only and not of substance. She was in fact the alter ego of John Kendrick and in our opinion the trial court correctly held that her conduct of the business was a thinly veiled subterfuge designed to avoid her husband's obligation under the contract.
For the foregoing reasons the decree of the Circuit Court of La Salle County is affirmed.
Decree affirmed.

That's The Entertainer by Scott Joplin.  It is one of the most famous songs in the "ragtime" style.  This was a syncopated piano style adapted from classical music by African-American musicians that was a precursor to the development of jazz, and popular in the mid 1800s.  This particular song experienced a renewed burst of popularity after been featured prominently in the 1973 movie The Sting

              BACKGROUND
      Defendant lived in Sacramento in October 2014 with Sean Kurzawa, Donald
Robyn and several others. On the morning of October 11, defendant drank beer and hard
liquor and also smoked marijuana with Sean. Sean and Donald were watching a movie in
the living room. They believed defendant was intoxicated because he was slurring his
speech and staggering as he walked. When Donald commented to defendant about being
drunk in the morning, defendant began yelling at Donald about unpaid bills and the risk
of the house going into foreclosure. Defendant got louder and increasingly aggressive,
calling Donald and Sean freeloaders.
      A couple of hours later, Donald heard defendant yelling from the


backyard.
Defendant came back into the house and continued to yell about unpaid expenses.
Donald told defendant to calm down, and as defendant got more aggressive, Donald told
him to shut up. Defendant answered, “a baseball bat will shut your mouth” and walked
out of the room. Defendant immediately returned to the room and hit Donald on the head
with a spray bottle. He threw the bottle down and approached Donald with his fists
raised. Donald blocked defendant’s punches, shoved him away, and defendant fell to the
ground. Defendant got up and threatened to kill Donald, rip off his head and gouge his
eyes out. Sean and Donald went back to watching movies. The yelling and screaming
stopped and Donald thought defendant had passed out.
      A few hours later, Donald and Seanin his truck. A responding officer pulled the truck over and arrested
defendant. Defendant had blood on his shirt and showed signs of intoxication. He was
agitated, talkative and sweaty. His pupils were dilated and bloodshot.
       The deputies did not find the knife in the house. Donald was taken to the hospital.
The next day, Donald found what he believed was the knife in defendant’s dirty laundry.
       Donald admitted having past confrontations with defendant’s son, Phillip Hansen,
in which Phillip sustained bruises. He was also involved in wrestling matches with Sean
and verbal confrontations with defendant in the past.
       Phillip testified he had known Donald for 20 years and they had lived together for
four years.


He had known defendant for three years, when he learned defendant was his
biological father. Over the years, Phillip and Donald had numerous physical fights,
including as recently as 2014. They fought at least once a month in 2014. Phillip
sustained bruises all over his body and a black eye as a result of those fights. Phillip also
saw Donald fight with other people. Donald regularly broke things like tables and chairs
and threw things around the house. Phillip opined that Donald had a character for
violence.
       Phillip’s brother, Jacob, had known Donald for 20 years and lived with him in
2011. In Jacob’s opinion, Donald had a violent character and it was unsafe to live with
him. Jacob recalled a time in November 2011 when Donald was arguing withhis

girlfriend and Jacob accidentally closed a door on Donald’s hand. Donald punched Jacob
in the face. Another time, in February 2012, Donald slammed a chair into the ceiling and
then smashed the chair against the floor.
       Defendant admitted drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana on the morning of
October 11, 2014. He also admitted being angry with Donald and Sean. But he denied
hitting Donald with the cleaning bottle. Defendant claimed Donald knocked the bottle
out of his hand, threatened him, and


punched him. Later in the day, defendant and
Donald again argued. Donald threatened that “a baseball bat to the mouth would shut
you up, mother fucker.” Defendant responded by calling Donald a freeloader and Donald
attacked, punching him in the chest. Donald then refused to fight and they talked and
hugged. Later, however, Donald and defendant began arguing again. Defendant
threatened to have Donald evicted, Donald hit defendant on the side of the head, and
defendant blacked out. When defendant regained consciousness he was leaning over
Donald holding a knife; Donald was screaming for help. Defendant could not remember
grabbing the knife or stabbing Donald. He tried to get away from Donald and only
pointed the knife at Sean because Sean tried to attack him. Defendant denied chasing
Donald into the backyard and denied intending to harm him.

About 1,500 collegestudents rallied at state Capitol this morning to protest $1 billion in budget cuts that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is proposing for California's three college systems in the coming fiscal year.

Students from many UC, state university and community college campuses marched about a mile from Raley Field to the Capitol, where they heard from Lt. Gov John Garamendi and other speakers opposed to the governor's cuts to education. Similar protests were held at a half-dozen other locations up and down the state at the same time, from Los Angeles and San Diego in the south to Arcata in the north.

"Kick us out, we will vote you out," the crowd in Sacramento chanted as they walked along a bridge crossing Highway 99, through downtown and onto the Capital steps. The


line of students, which included hundreds from the Bay Area, stretched six blocks, and dozens of motorists honked in support as they drove by.

The fears, voiced again and again, where that if Schwarzenegger's proposed funding cuts go through, students will end up paying more to attend, while reduced services and a narrower selection of classes.

The governor's proposed cuts to higher education are part of an across-the-board reduction in all state spending in response to a growing budget crisis caused by economic hard times statewide.

Aaron McLear, a spokesman for Schwarzenegger, said higher education continues to be high priority for the governor, but considering the scope of the budget deficit, it would be unfair to cut certain items in the state budget while leaving others untouched.

"The governor is as frustratedas the students are that he has to make these cuts. He doesn't want to make these cuts," McLear said.

Students weren't buying it.

"They keep talking about us being the future of California, but if they keep cutting education there will be no future," said Tiffany Trujillo, a 22-year-old junior at San Francisco State University. "It seems like education is always the first thing they cut."

Trujillo said she is among many at San Francisco State who get financial aid and expect to graduate owing thousands of dollars in loans. Having to pay higher fees would severely impact her financially, she said.

Ai Ho, a 35-year-old student and San Francisco City College, carried a sign reading "Educate to Liberate" as he marched. He said he works in digital imaging and went


was to send the governor a clear message, and I think that's what happened."

Gregory Cendana, a senior at UCLA, said he and other Los Angeles protesters were acutely aware that as they were rallying, others were doing the same thing all over the state.

"We're talking about the future of California, and with the budget crisis going on, it only makes sense to invest in students who will give back to the economy and the state later on," he said.2020 coronavirus outbreak in the Philippines

This article documents the impacts of the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak in the Philippines, and may not include all the contemporary major responses and measures.

As of March 1, there are three confirmed cases in the Philippines. Out of the three cases, one has died. The first case of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the Philippines was confirmed on January 30, that of a 38-year-old Chinese woman who was confined at the San Lazaro Hospital in Manila. The second case was confirmed on February 2, that of a 44-year-old Chinese man who died a day earlier which is also the first confirmed death from the disease outside mainland China.

In the first nationwide analysis of shark fin soup, bowls of the Asian delicacy served in 13 out the 14 U.S. cities tested were found to contain species at risk of extinction.

A bowl of soup sampled in Boston contained fin meat of a scalloped hammerhead shark, which is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

To arrive at their conclusions, scientists analyzed DNA from shark fin soup samples gathered in Albuquerque, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Orlando, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, DC.

Science at Stony Brook University in New York, where Dr. Chapman is assistant science director.

Dr. Chapman worked with the Pritzker Laboratory at the Field Museum in Chicago to modify existing DNA-barcoding techniques to identify shark DNA fragments that had deteriorated in the fin treatment and cooking process.

In addition to the scalloped hammerhead, the research team found that the 32 samples identified as sharks included smooth hammerheads, school sharks, and spiny dogfish, which are all listed as Vulnerable to extinction on the IUCN Red List.

“This is further proof that shark fin soup here in the United States – not just in Asia – is contributing to the global decline of sharks,” said Liz Karan, manager of global shark conservation at the Pew Environment Group, which financially supported the research.

Theas the blue shark, the copper shark and the bull shark – all listed as Near Threatened.

There are currently no protections in place for hammerhead sharks.

In June, Costa Rica and Honduras announced plans to propose new trade rules for hammerhead sharks under the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species, which meets next in March 2013.

Shark fins are obtained by slicing the fins off of sharks caught at sea; the bodies of the living sharks often are thrown back. Unable to move normally, the damaged sharks die of suffocation or are eaten by predators.

The IUCN’s Shark Specialist Group says shark finning is widespread, “largely unmanaged and unmonitored” and that “the rapidly expanding and largely unregulated shark fin trade represents one of the most serious threats to shark

When I began the Facebook fan page "Join the Coffee Party Movement," I had no idea what would transpire. It was about 1:30 a.m. January 26, and I was very frustrated with the endless news coverage about theTea Party and the growing narrative that it represented America.

I was driven by a question, a curiosity: If I build it, will they come? Would anyone respond to my call for civility in our political discourse and cooperation in government?

First they came virtually. More than 155,000 joined the fan page in less than six weeks. But were they real people?

There is a profound relationship problem between the government and the people that it serves. Many Americans feel alienated from the corrupted political process, the dysfunction of the government and the seeming polarization of our society. The health care debate and the spectacle of the August town halls laid open all that alienation and despair.

Since August, many of us chose to cocoon in our homes, growing more frustrated and outraged over our diseased political system. This is a terrible state of affairs because the public's disengagement from politics is the greatest threat to a democracy.

We are proposing to address this threat, to practice democracy at the local level and create a home in the public sphere. What better place than a neighborhood coffeeGraincorp to sell off Emerald depot

GRAINCORP will sell off its Emerald depot and relocate out of town as part of a nationwide $200 million restructure of its operations.

The move could pave the way for a future residential development on the 10ha site, Central Highlands Mayor Peter Maguire said.

"In the council's new strategic framework for its new planning scheme, that side of town is one of the areas identified for future urban expansion," Cr Maguire said.

"With the depot's proximity and more and more residences coming to that side of town, I respect Graincorp's decision to move on.

"I am sure it is valuable residential real estate for the future."

Graincorp spokesman Angus Trigg said negotiations were already under way for the new site as part of Project Regeneration.

After graduating in Architecture from McGill University in Montreal, Safdie was an apprentice to Louis Kahn. Safdie is most well-known for his iconic, cellular and prefabricated units for living, Habitat 67, designed early in his career in 1967. Shortly afterward, in 1970, he established a Jerusalem office and was heavily involved in the development of Jerusalem’s new city center. Safdie is also known for his work on the Marina Bay Sands Resort in

Time, space and existence. These three concepts sketch out the contours of the world around us — a fact especially true within architecture. Taking these words as its starting point,cough not so long ago and we spent a lot of time on the fictional Island of Sodor -- reading books, watching Netflix and playing iPad apps based on The Railway Series by the late Rev.

The series' socio-economic subtext rose to the surface while reading Day of the Diesels, based on a 2011 Thomas and Friends TV movie. Awdry's kiddie-culture empire, begun back in 1945, has always been fuelled by Britain's oft-criticized class system, as it romanticized the posh steam engines while demonizing the new blue-collar diesel engines.

But this new Thomas tale took that even further with a surprisingly prescient occupation of the Steamworks by the lower-class Diesels.

The Red Sox Stink Out Loud Right Now, but Mitch Moreland is Starting Off the Year Hot

(Photo: Yahoo Sports)

The Red Sox are off to a very slow start to their season, but the same cannot be said about Mitch Moreland. The first baseman picked up last year’s late-season heroics at the beginning of the 2019 season as he has delivered two late-game home runs that resulted in Red Sox wins. Moreland also homered in a blowout loss in Arizona and had another one to kick off the Fenway opener.

As of April 9th after the Fenway opener, Moreland is batting a mediocre .258 but has 4 home runs and 10 RBI’s. Not only that, but he has made some solid plays in the field that every first baseman mightNorth Korean missile test prospect high, says South Korea official

The possibility of a North Korean missile test is "considerably high," according to a South Korean official on Wednesday.

The stakes continue to climb on the Korean peninsula and so do the warnings. The U.S. confirms that North Korea has finished fueling a missile on its east coast, and it's ready to be fired.

A South Korean military official speaking under condition of anonymity said the South is at threat level Watch Condition 2, meaning a missile launch by the north is "considerably high."

The South Korean alert follows another threat by the North that nuclear war is imminent.

The North Korean government warned foreigners in the South to take cover and warned diplomats in Pyongyang they could no longer guarantee their safety.

Meanwhile,


Japanese officials say they too are on high alert and are preparing for a North Korean missile launch.

Experts believe the missile is a medium range weapon and would have the ability to reach Japan and even the island of Guam. The ballistic missile has been dubbed "Musudan" by foreign experts after the name of the northeastern village where North Korea has a launch pad.

U.S. military officials say if U.S. territory or allies are threatened, they could take steps to shoot the missile down.

The U.S. has deployed defensive missiles across the region to protect against any kind of attack. Many experts believe the threats are largely just rhetoric, and an attempt by North to scare foreigners into pressing their governments to pressure Washington and Seoul to change their policiesNike Air Max 97 CR7 ‘Golden Patchwork’

October 23, 2017 3:59 pm

As a young boy, Cristiano Ronaldo was limited to just two pairs of shoes—one for play, and one for school. While his school shoes were well kept, his play shoes always ended up with holes thanks to the endless amount of time he spent on the pitch. Each time he’d wear a new hole in his shoes, his mother would patch it up, allowing him to get back out to hone his skills. Patched up and dipped in gold, the new Air Max 97 CR7 takes inspiration from his childhood footwear while celebrating his continued greatness on the pitch and beyond.

MICHAEL Laudrup tore apart some of the best defences in the world football while playing for Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Now the Swansea manager boasts the joint meanest away defensive record in the Premier League – alongside tonight’s FA Cup replay opponents Arsenal.

His club have conceded just nine goals on the road in the league this season.

And following back-to-back clean sheets at Chelsea – in the Capital One Cup – and Everton on Saturday, Laudrup insists his resilient back line can deliver a hat-trick of shut-outs with another solid display against Arsene Wenger’s Gunners to book a match at Brighton in the fourth round.

We have shown throughout the season, but particularly in the past two games, how solid we are

The Peasant Farmers Association of Ghana (PFAG) has held two separate dialogue meetings with farmers and officials of districts assemblies in the Brong Ahafo and Upper East Regions in Techiman and Paga respectively. The purpose of the meeting was to promote Agro-ecology farming practice through increased budgetary allocation of District Assemblies in support of sustainable Agriculture.

According to Charles Kwowe Nyaaba who is the Programmes Officer of PFAG, the need for Agro-ecology farming was based on the failure of current concept of focusing on industrial agriculture as solution to our food security challenges. He explained Agro-ecology farming practice as a situation where there is limited application of external chemical inputs. “This type of farming is environmentally friendly, have potential for poverty reduction in rural areas


and provides nutrition for local people due to mixed cropping and mixed farming approach”. In that regard, a demonstration farm has been set up in both regions to provide practical training to beneficiary farmers.

According to him, the Ghana Commercial Agricultural Project, the Fertilizer Subsidy Project and recent government flagship programme (“Planting for Food and Jobs”) have all failed to factor in environmental sustainability and climate change resilient and adaptation. He appealed to the local assemblies to include climate change related issues and capacity building of farmers in agro-ecology farming in their annual action plans.

Techiman dialogue meeting

The Techiman South Director of the Department of Agriculture (DoA), Mr. Maamah James expressed his willingness to join PFAG to promote agroecology farming in Techiman. He tasked PFAG members in the district topresent a detailed proposal for consideration in developing the district level agriculture budget.

According to Nana Ameyaw, the Regional Focal Person for PFAG in the Brong Ahafo (B.A.) who doubles as the National Vice President of PFAG, government should focus more on small scale farmers because they feed the nation other than the large scale/commercial farmers who export their produce. He suggested that, government should nominate a representative of PFAG to the District Assembly to help promote agriculture.

He mentioned that, the doors of PFAG are always opened for farmers.

Madam Janet Atimoliga, a farmer in the Kasena Nankana District, said, she has been practicing some level of Agro-ecology, where application of organic manure in her farm has increased her yield. She therefore called on her colleagues to change


NUR-SULTAN (TCA) — In a telephone conversation at the initiative of the British side, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan Beibut Atamkulov and the Minister of State for Europe and the Americas of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom (FCO) Christopher Pincher confirmed mutual interest in further strengthening and expanding the strategic partnership between the two states and discussed plans to organize future high-level bilateral visits and events, the Kazakh Foreign Ministry reported on August 8.

The Kazakh Foreign Minister congratulated the British politician on his recent appointment and highlighted his interest in further developing constructive relations with the new leadership of the FCO and the UK Government.

Meetings of the Strategic Dialogue at the level of the foreign ministers and the Intergovernmental Commission for Trade,and 17 charged that on or about the same dates in December of 1952 and January of 1953, as specified in the conspiracy counts, the appellants, being officers and agents of the corporation, in contemplation of a bankruptcy proceeding by and against the said corporation and with intent to defeat the bankruptcy law, did knowingly and fraudulently transfer to Vancouver, British Columbia, the sums of money respectively set forth in the conspiracy counts.

10
Count 19 charged that on or about May 6, 1953, the appellants, being officers and agents of the corporation, in contemplation of a bankruptcy proceeding by and against the corporation, and with intent to defeat the bankruptcy law, knowingly and fraudulently transferred to Vancouver, British Columbia, one cash register, the property of the corporation.

11
Jury verdicts were


for a judgment of acquittal as to the counts on which guilty verdicts were returned, and for a new trial pursuant to Rule 33, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The district judge denied both motions.

14
The appellant Max T. Edwards was committed to the custody of the Attorney General for a period of three years on count 19 of the indictment, and for the same period of time on each of counts 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 20, the sentences on each of such counts to run concurrently with the sentence imposed on count 19. The appellant Gilbert Edwards was committed to the custody of the Attorney General for a period of two years on count 19 of the indictment, and for the same period of timetrial; that the district court prejudicially erred in failing to instruct the jury on certain issues of law; and that, as to appellant Max T. Edwards, the venue laid was not proved.

16
Before considering these specifications of error, we will briefly outline the history of this case leading up to the return of the indictment against the appellants.

17
The appellant Max T. Edwards is a Canadian subject. Prior to 1946 and since, he was the owner and manager of a retail shaver business in Vancouver, British Columbia, known as Edwards, Ltd. Since 1949 he has owned and operated a retail cutlery business in Vancouver under the name of Lewis Cutlery, Ltd. In 1946 he commenced his own retail shaver business in Seattle, Washington, under the name of Edwards Electric Sales


and Service Company. This business was incorporated in 1946, under the laws of the State of Washington, and Max T. Edwards became and remained the sole stockholder. In 1946 he organized a corporation under the laws of the State of California, under the name of Edwards Electric, Inc., to operate retail shaver stores in California. The names of these two corporations were later changed to Edwards Shaver Departments, Incorporated. Originally the two corporations were treated as separate entities, but by 1952 they were operated for all practical purposes as one corporation. Both appellants were officers and directors of both corporations, appellant Max T. Edwards being the president. The appellant Gilbert Edwards became associated with these corporations in 1949, and was the manager of concessions and the principal assistantto Max T. Edwards in the operation of the business of the corporations.

18
On March 27, 1953, an involuntary petition in bankruptcy was filed against the California corporation. On March 11, 1953, a receiver for the Washington corporation was appointed by a Washington state court on application of petitioning creditors. On May 7, 1953, an involuntary petition in bankruptcy was filed against the Washington corporation on application of petitioning creditors. The bankruptcy proceedings in California were dismissed on condition that all assets be transferred to Washington, and that the two corporations be treated as one for the purposes of the proceeding. The record does not disclose the date on which a receiver or trustee was first appointed by the Federal Court in Washington, but the first adjudication in bankruptcy


objection of the appellants the district court permitted the Washington state court receiver to testify to certain sales made by him of the property of the bankrupt corporation to a corporation organized by either or both of the appellants, and that one of the appellants negotiated the purchase on behalf of the purchaser. Apparently this sale was simply a step in the administration of the receivership. No impropriety of the purchase was shown. We are unable to see the relevancy of such testimony on the state of mind of either appellant as such state of mind may have existed on May 7, 1953, or on the date of the transfer of the cash register on or about March 6, 1953, as alleged in count 19, or on Februarylittle bit of work to parse through all of the data and pick out the most common spellings. Figure 2 below shows the relative popularity of the top six spellings. There are a few other less common spellings but they are so unique that they barely show up on the chart. It is interesting to see how the spelling of the name has changed over time. The spelling 'Muhammad' has become the most common in the last year; it's popularity has been growing steadily since 1990.

The first recorded instance in the data set of a U.S. baby named 'Muhammad' was in 1922 with the spelling 'Mohammed' and that spelling was the most common until the 1970s. After that, 'Mohammad' became the most popular until about 2000, then 'Mohamed'

Celestat, ul. Lubicz 16

The exhibition at Celestat presents all the works submitted to the 75th Kraków Nativity Scene Contest.

On Thursday 1 December, participants in the 75th Kraków Nativity Scene Contest gathered at 10am at the Adam Mickiewicz statue to present intricate, dazzling constructions inspired by Cracovian architecture. After the midday hejnał bugle call, the colourful pageant strolled to Celestat where the jury assessed their works in a range of categories including age of artist and size. Points are awarded depending on references to tradition, as well as innovation, colours, architecture and figurines, and of course the overall impression.

On

Around the globe people watched with wonder and envy at this brilliant country, its culture, its inventiveness and its openness. Britain, in summer 2012 felt like a model for what a dynamic and confident modern country could and should be. The eyes of the world have been on Britain again this summer and they have seen something very different. An ugly referendum debate leading to a fractious few months of uncertainty and doubt. The serene confidence of 2012 replaced by introspection and suspicion.

When Remainers, early in the summer, worried aloud about how a vote to leave would be perceived around the world, we were given reassurances. No, we were

Theresa May needs to get a grip of this situation. Put a minister back in charge, commit to bringing those 157 children over by the end of the summer, work with councils to make sure we get back on track for 20,000 by 2020 at least.

1. When it was established in 1857 the Museum was called the South Kensington Museum. It was renamed the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1899 when Queen Victoria laid the foundation stone of new buildings along Exhibition Road and Cromwell Road.

2. Queen Victoria really wanted to call the V&A the 'Albert Museum'.

3. The Museum was built in part of Brompton, in the western outskirts of London, but the Museum authorities re-christened the area South Kensington, which sounded more fashionable.

4. The Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851 owns the site of the V&A, and of the nearby Science and Natural History Museums,


Imperial College, the Royal Colleges of Art and Music and Royal Albert Hall. The area, dubbed 'Albertopolis', was bought partly out of the profits of the Great Exhibition.

5. The first Director, Sir Henry Cole, described the Museum in 1857 as 'a refuge for destitute collections'. More than a century later Sir Roy Strong called it 'an extremely capacious handbag'.

6. Part of the Museum was built initially for the use of the National Gallery, which had run out of space at Trafalgar Square. The National Gallery insisted on having a separate entrance for its visitors.

7. The V&A's South and South-East Asian collections began life as the East India Company's India Museum, founded in 1801. The India Museum was transferred to the control of the South Kensington Museum in 1879.

8.The South Kensington Museum was the first museum in the world to provide a public restaurant.

9. The restaurant had different first and second class menus, and a third class service for 'mechanics and all workmen employed at the Museum Buildings and even for the humble working class visitors'.

10. The South Kensington Museum was the first in the world to use gas lighting in the galleries, to allow evening opening.

11. The first Director, Henry Cole, intended that the South Kensington Museum should attract the widest possible audience, and hoped that 'the evening opening of public museums may furnish a powerful antidote to the gin palace'.

12. During the 19th century the Museum


had free admission three days a week and charged 6d for entry on the other three days. The purpose of the charging days was to keep the Museum quiet for students.

13. The Science Museum was originally part of the South Kensington Museum, then the V&A; it did not become a separate institution until 1909.

14. In 1873, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Robert Lowe, plotted unsuccessfully to have the South Kensington Museum taken over by the British Museum.

15. The Museum's first (temporary) buildings were made of iron, and clad in corrugated iron; they were so ugly that they were nicknamed the 'Brompton Boilers' by the Builder magazine.

16. The 'Brompton Boilers' were largely dismantled in 1867 and re-erected with new brick walls and a slate roof at Bethnal Green, wherethey now house the V&A Museum of Childhood.

17. The V&A's buildings occupy 12 acres of land in South Kensington, and are over a third of a mile in circumference.

Some of the mosaic floors in the Museum were made by 'lady convicts' in Woking Prison. Museum staff jokingly gave the mosaic a Latin name, 'opus criminale'.

18. The Henry Cole Wing of the V&A was originally designed as a School of Naval Architecture and subsequently became a School of Science.

19. The statue on top of the central tower of the V&A represents Fame. Her nose is missing.

20. In 1872 a pneumatic railway was planned to carry visitors from the South Kensington underground station to the Museum and the Royal Albert Hall. It was never built.

22. A new underground station was


opened very close to the Museum in 1904 called Brompton Road. It was judged to be uneconomical and was closed in 1934.

23. When deliveries were made to the Museum by horse and cart there was not enough room for drivers to manoeuvre; there was a large turn-table on which both horse and cart could be turned round.

24. The small vacant triangle of land opposite the main entrance was bought by the Museum in 1863 to ensure that the view from Thurloe Square could never be obscured by new buildings.

25. The inscription over the main entrance of the Museum reads 'The excellence of every art must consist in the complete accomplishment of its purpose', and is a quotation from the artist Sir Joshua Reynolds.

26. 35 portraits of European artistsand designers were made in mosaic to decorate the South Court of the Museum in the 1860s. They were known as the Kensington Valhalla.

The Collections

Tippoo's Tiger, mechanical organ, unknown maker, about 1793. Museum no. 2545(IS). © Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

27. Many of the V&A's collections have national status. National collections at the V&A include the art of photography, British watercolours and drawings, ceramics, fashion, furniture and woodwork, glass, jewellery, metalwork including sliver, portrait miniatures, sculpture to 1914 and textiles.

28. Tippoo's Tiger has long been one of the V&A's most popular exhibits. The wooden model of a tiger attacking a European was made for Tipu Sultan, ruler of Mysore in India, in the 1790s. A mechanical organ inside the figure imitates the growling of the tiger and the


man's moans.

29. The Luck of Edenhall is a 13th-century Syrian glass beaker which belonged to the Musgrave family of Edenhall in Cumbria. A story connected with it relates 'If this cup should break or fall, farewell the luck of Edenhall'.

30. The iron screen from Hereford Cathedral contains 14,000 pieces. Its conservation and reconstruction employed 38 people and took a year.

31. The strangest sculpture in the collection is an ox's head, made in Italy in the late 17th century of marble and wood. The cavity in the head contains an osteoma or morbid growth at one time wrongly thought to be the fossilized brain of an ox.

The Gloucester Candlestick, unknown maker, 1107 - 1113. Museum no. 7649:1 to 3-1861. © Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

32. The famous 12th-century Gloucestercandlestick is made from nine different metals and could have been made from a hoard of coins.

33. An unusual portrait (and John Ruskin's most hated work of art) is the sculpture of 'Bashaw, the faithful friend of Man' by Matthew Cotes Wyatt. Bashaw, Lord Dudley's Newfoundland dog, had about 50 sittings for the portrait, which was not finished until after Lord Dudley's death in 1833. The Executors would not pay the £5000 price and so it remained in Wyatt's studio until his death.

34. The tallest object in the collections is a plaster cast of Trajan's Column, reproduced from the marble original in Rome. It is 35.6 metres high and, being too tall to fit in the galleries, is displayed as two separate towers.

35. Some of the smallest objects


on display are glass weights for testing coins dating from the 8th to 10th centuries. They have Arabic inscriptions, were found in Egypt, and some of them are less than 1 cm in diameter.

36. One of the smallest sculpted objects is a cameo portrait of Elizabeth I, dated about 1575-80, which is 5.5 cm high. It is one of around 30 cameos of Elizabeth I that survive. She is depicted holding a sieve, perhaps symbolising chastity, or her powers of discernment.

37. The V&A owns a copy of the first commercially produced Christmas card, which was invented in 1843 by the Museum's first Director, Henry Cole.

38. The V&A was the first museum in the world to collect photographs as art, beginning in 1856

39. The tallest bed in the Museumis The State Bed from Melville House measuring 4.62 metres high.

40. The oldest desk in the collection - really a writing box - belonged to Henry VIII and was made in 1525.

Parliament Street from Trafalgar Square, daguerreotype, Monsieur de St Croix, 1839. Museum no. PH.1-1986. © Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

41. The V&A has the earliest photograph of London, a view down Whitehall from Trafalgar Square (before Nelson's Column was built), a daguerreotype taken by a M. de St Croix in 1839.

42. There are approximately 16,000 objects from China in the collection, dating from the 4th millennium BC to the present day. They include a rare group of gilded wooden Buddhist figures from around 1200 AD and a spectacular Qing dynasty carved lacquer imperial throne.

43. The widest fashion

Fig Leaf for David, cast, about 1857. Museum no. REPRO.1857A-161. © Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

48. Queen Victoria was said to be shocked by the nudity of a full-size plaster-cast of Michelangelo's 'David'. A suitably proportioned fig leaf was made, and hung on the figure using a pair of hooks when dignitaries visited. Today, the fig leaf is no longer used.

49. The miniature portrait of Mary Queen of Scots by Nicholas Hilliard was painted while Mary was a prisoner of Elizabeth I. Elizabeth probably commissioned this portrait of the cousin whom she had never met.

50. A Victorian wardrobe made for Penrhyn Castle and designed by Thomas Hopper was once owned by Mick Jagger. It is on display in the British Galleries.

51. Among many things at the V&A associatedwith Charles Dickens are his pen case and manuscript for 'Oliver Twist'.

52. Several sculptures by Rodin were on loan to the V&A when the First World War broke out and could not be returned to France. However, Rodin was 'so moved by the joint action of French and British troops in France' that he decided to donate them to the V&A.

53. The V&A owns a bed that belonged to the actor David Garrick and his wife, which was supplied (and possibly designed) by Thomas Chippendale. Its chintz hangings were confiscated by the authorities from Chippendale’s studio because Mrs Garrick had not paid the required import duties.

54. The beautiful hanging panels


from Oxburgh Hall were embroidered by Mary Queen of Scots during her imprisonment between 1569 -1585.

55. The earliest surviving wedding suit dates from 1673. It belonged to James II (before he was crowned) and is in the British Galleries

56. Contrary to popular belief, hardly any of the V&A's collections belonged to Queen Victoria or Prince Albert. The most notable exception is a famous series of paintings, the Raphael cartoons, which were loaned by Queen Victoria and are still on loan from the present Queen.

57. The Great Bed of Ware is Britain's most famous bed; made in the 1590s, it is over 11 feet long and ten feet wide, and is mentioned in Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night'.

58. The bed was made as a marketing ploy, to attract visitors to TheCrown Inn in Ware. It is supposed to be haunted and in 1736, on the night King William III was crowned, is recorded as having slept '26 butchers and their wives'.

The first 'blockbuster' exhibition at the Museum was held in 1862. It was called the 'Special Exhibition of Works of Art of the Medieval, Renaissance and More Recent Periods'.

61. In 1913 militant suffragettes threatened to vandalise collections in public museums and galleries. The V&A considered banning women visitors, but instead decided to protect the collections by increasing visitor numbers. Entrance charges were dropped to help achieve this.

62.


The first V&A 'Children's holiday sessions' took place in the school summer and Christmas holidays in 1915 and 1916.

63. The V&A first staged open-air classical music concerts in the garden in 1950. There was seating for 700 and promenade space for several hundred more.

64. As part of its outreach programme to young people, the V&A became the first museum in Britain to present a rock concert in July 1973. The V&A presented a combined concert/lecture by British progressive folk-rock band Gryphon.

65. The CD produced to accompany the 'Art Deco' exhibition sold so many copies it could have been placed in the top 40 UK chart.

The V&A at large

66. The Bethnal Green branch of the Museum was establishedin 1868. The 'animal products' collection was moved there from South Kensington, together with a food collection, and collections of shoes and boots, waste products, economic entomology and lepidoptera.

67. The Bethnal Green Museum became the Museum of Childhood in 1974.

68. In 1938 the V&A mounted an exhibition in Leicester Square underground station.

69. From the beginning the Museum made sure that its collections were seen outside London. The first circulating exhibition was transported in its own specially constructed railway truck.

70. The V&A administered two historic houses, Ham House and Osterley Park House, on behalf of the National Trust from the late 1940s until 1991. The Wellington Museum at Apsley House (Number 1 London) was run as a branch of the V&A from 1947 until 2004 when management was transferred


to English Heritage.

71. London's Design Museum started life in 1981 as the Boilerhouse exhibition space at the V&A. Terence Conran was the driving force behind the project, and Stephen Bayley was its curator.

72. An annual pantomime has been staged by V&A staff every Christmas since 1981, giving a satirical view of the year's events at the V&A.

73. Sir Henry Cole's dog Jim, and another 'faithful dog' Tycho, were buried in the V&A's garden.

74. The V&A did not employ warders or gallery assistants in the 19th century. At first, troops from the Royal Engineers acted as warders, then from 1858 until 1920 police officers fulfilled that role.

75. A small detachment of Royal Engineers (or'sappers') was based at the Museum for over 40 years. They specialised in fire-fighting but also acted as clerks, photographers, warders and general maintenance staff.

76. There was a water tank in the Museum's grounds, both for fire-fighting, and to enable the sappers to exercise in a rowing boat.

77. The first female keeper was Margaret Longhurst who was appointed Keeper of Architecture & Sculpture in 1938.

78. The V&A's first full-time guide lecturer, Miss Marion Thring, was appointed in 1935.

79. In the late-19th century the Museum consulted expert outsiders to help assess new acquisitions. They were called 'Art Referees', and included artists and designers such as William Morris, Owen Jones, Frederic Leighton and Lawrence Alma-Tadema.

80. The most renowned curator of the South Kensington


Museum in the 19th century was J.C. Robinson. He was dismissed from his job twice, but went on to become Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures and was knighted in 1887.

81. The V&A had the first public relations department of any national museum. Formed in 1947, it was at first called Museum Extension Services, and was headed by Charles Gibbs-Smith.

The V&A at war

82. The V&A stayed open throughout World War I, although half of the buildings were taken over by the Board of Education, which had been forced to give up its Whitehall offices to the Admiralty.

83. The V&A's first guidebook in French was published during World War I, for the benefit of Belgian refugees.

DuringWorld War II part of the V&A served as an RAF canteen, and some of the galleries were used as a school for children evacuated from Gibraltar.

85. During World War II most of the V&A's collections were evacuated, to the Aldwych Underground tunnel, to Montacute House in Somerset and to Westwood Quarry near Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire.

86. The Raphael cartoons were too large to evacuate during the War and were bricked up into a protective shelter.

86. The V&A was hit repeatedly by bombs during World War II. Some bomb damage on the Exhibition Road front of the building was never repaired but was left as 'a memorial to the enduring values of this great museum in a time of conflict'.

87. Three letters sent by the V&A were lost on the Titanic.

88. The worst scandal in the V&A's history occurred in the 1950s when a member of staff was found to have stolen several hundred objects, including a number of swords which he smuggled out of the Museum down his trouser legs.

89. The most memorable, if notorious, publicity campaign by the V&A was devised by Saatchi and Saatchi in 1988. It featured the slogan 'An ace caff with quite a nice museum attached'.

90. When the V&A first displayed examples of Art Nouveau furniture in 1901 there was such controversy in the art establishment that the furniture was banished to Bethnal Green. It was displayed with a notice warning designto fit out spies who were to be dropped into France.

96. A warder by the name of Clinch is said to have committed suicide in a basement room, which has been known ever since as 'Clinch's Hole'. It is believed by some to be haunted.

They cleaned up everything afterwards. I got three quotes at the beginning and their price is the best one. Also my neighbor also used their service.

Very well. Would recommend to others.

Chris Fanni came out the first time and presented the information regarding the type of roof shingles and the warranty and a total estimate. He was very professional and thorough. He was very
patient with us and answered all the questions and concerns we had. My husband was not present during this time so I ask Chris to return and discuss allwind mitigation report was completed as well.

Great Professional Work!
Colin and his crew are the best in Tampa! After 6 years we sold our house in Thonotosassa that was done by Colin. We had 2 bad tiles he replaced free of charge and did it in a timely manner. Our new house in New Port Richey will need a roof soon and Dynamic Roofing and Colin are the ONLY company we will use. Why use anyone else? Thanks, Colin

We were impressed by the service we received from Dynamic Roofing Concepts. They initially showed up on time with a very professional proposal. The work was completed in a timely manner and was done very neatly, and they were great with their cleanup. They are a professional organization, and I would

“I want to be great,” said McLendon. “I have taken my work ethic to the next level. I am pushing myself every day. If the stars are where I want to reach, I need to reach past them. The expectations are really, really high. That should be of everybody in the Steelers organization. The expectation is to win the Super Bowl and be great.”

McLendon signed with the Steelers in 2009 as an undrafted rookie. He spent the majority of the 2009 season on the practice squad, was waived before the start of the 2010 season, spending the first few months of the season bouncing from the practice squad to the active roster.

Wallace had missed just one game all season, averaging 5.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 50.4% from the field.

The 6’7″ Wallace is in his first season in Boston, his 13th in the NBA, after being acquired from the Nets in the offseason. His offensive production is down significantly from his peak years and he’s playing only 24.4 minutes per game, his lowest average since he joined the Bobcats through the expansion draft prior to his fourth pro season. But the 2006 league leader in steals, a former All-Defensive First Team selection, is still a strong defensive presence,


and the Celtics will surely miss his intensity on D.

Wallace, somewhat predictably, struggled to adjust to his sixth man role on a rebuilding team, and was vocal about what he perceived to be a lack of effort on the part of some of his younger teammates. Stevens said that he had been playing through the pain for some time, but in his last game, the 800th regular season game of his NBA career, he recorded his first double-double of the season, with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

Wallace’s injury is just the latest in a tough stretch for the Celtics who, at 20-39, are firmly out of playoff contention. Shooting guard Avery Bradley hasn’t played since February 9 with an ankle injury, power forward Jared Sullinger has missed thelast three games with a concussion, and rookie big men Vítor Faverani and Kelly Olynyk both sat out Wednesday’s win over Atlanta with minor ailments.

Celtics Sign Babb to 10-Day Contract

Also on Friday, the Celtics officially announced the signing of shooting guard Chris Babb to a 10-day contract. Babb played his first two college seasons at Penn State and was part of the Nittany Lions team that won the NIT championship in 2009. He then transferred to Iowa State, and was named to the Big 12 All-Defensive Team in his senior season. He went undrafted and was signed by the Celtics for a short time in training camp.

Babb has played this season with Boston’s D-League affiliate, the Maine Red Claws, where he’s averaged 12 points, 6.2 boards, 3.4 assists


with conditions in 1979 and 1980 and without conditions in 1981 and 1982.  However, in late 1982, the Mercy Hospital board of trustees voted not to renew Dr. McKenzie's staff privileges for the following year, finding that he had violated hospital and medical staff bylaws and had engaged in unprofessional, disruptive conduct.  Following an appeal to a three-member committee appointed under the hospital bylaws and a subsequent appeal to the entire board of trustees, Dr. McKenzie was notified that his privileges were permanently revoked.

2
In an amended complaint, Dr. McKenzie alleged that Mercy Hospital's refusal to renew his staff privileges violated Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. Secs. 1, 2 (1982).2   In his claim under Section 1,3 Dr. McKenzie maintained thatthe revocation of his privileges was the consequence of a per se illegal tying arrangement established by Mercy Hospital.  According to Dr. McKenzie, the bylaws, rules, and regulations of Mercy Hospital tied the market for physician services (the tied product) to the market for hospital facilities and services (the tying product).  Brief of Appellant at 35-36.  In his claim under Section 2 of the Sherman Act,4 Dr. McKenzie asserted that the termination of his staff privileges constituted an unlawful refusal to deal.  Specifically, Dr. McKenzie argued that his dismissal from the staff of Mercy Hospital violated the "essential facilities doctrine" as recognized under Section 2.

3
In a Memorandum and Order granting Mercy Hospital's Motion for Summary Judgment, the district court concluded that Dr. McKenzie had


with other transportation and mercantile interests, formed an association to control access to all the railway bridges crossing the Mississippi River at St. Louis.  Due to the "geographical and topographical situation [of St. Louis, it was,] as a practical matter, impossible for any railroad company to pass through, or even enter St. Louis, so as to be within reach of its industry and commerce, without using the facilities entirely controlled by" the association.   Terminal Railroad, 224 U.S. at 397, 32 S.Ct. at 510.  As a result, the members of the association were able to prevent competing railroads from offering transportation services between St. Louis and East St. Louis, Illinois.  The Supreme Court found the practice of denying access to the bridges a restraintdirectly with Mercy Hospital. Record, vol. 2, at 240.  Apparently by then Dr. McKenzie believed that the essential facilities from which he had been excluded consisted of only these two areas of the Hospital.  Still later, at the conclusion of the district court proceedings, the description of the essential facility changed again.  When granting Mercy Hospital's Motion for Summary Judgment, the court limited "the facilities in question" under Dr. McKenzie's Section 2 claim to Mercy Hospital's emergency room.  Record, vol. 2, at 386.

17
The record does not disclose Dr. McKenzie's reasons for refining his description of the essential facilities.  Nor does it explain the district court's decision to pare the "facilities in question" down to Mercy Hospital's emergency room.  But consistent with the


2 of the Sherman Act must therefore fail.12

24
The judgment of the district court is affirmed.

 Mercy Hospital is a short-term general care hospital.  It is the only hospital in Independence and one of only three hospitals in Montgomery County, Kansas.

Last week, Italian police made an arrest as part of investigations into management of the Pompeii UNESCO World Heritage Site, the ancient Roman city that was buried in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

In the same week, work on a new €105 million (US$141 million) Pompeii rescue and restoration project began.

The latest infusion of funds is the most recent attempt to address problems plaguing the Roman city of ruins, which though beautifully preserved by the ash and rock from the Mount Vesuvius volcano almost 2,000 years ago, has recently suffered from a series of collapses and scandals.

Due to damage caused by heavy rains and general mismanagement,


Pompeii was declared to be in a state of emergency in 2008. Despite allocation of emergency funds and appointment of a special commissioner, the site has since continued on a course of decline.

The site attracts millions of visitor's each year, making it one of Italy's most popular tourist spots, yet walls and columns, including the well-known House of the Gladiators, have fallen to the ground in an embarrassing spectacle.

The new funding -- which includes €41.8 million (US$56 million) of EU regional funds -- will be used to consolidate structures around the site, build a water drainage system, improve restoration and train staff.

to me that Russia is not exception here. I think there are at least two places which should visit each tourist.

First of all, my personal view, it is the Kremlin. It has a long history throughout the centuries. Many ages ago the Kremlin was a defensive installation; therefore it is walled with plenty of towers. All towers are distinct; furthermore each of them has unique name and height. Inside the Kremlin there are museums, churches and other historical monuments. Nowadays the Kremlin is Rissian president residence; therefore majority people associate The Kremlin as the heart of Russia.

Second place is Suzdal. It is located within 250 km east from Moscow. Suzdal is one of the oldest cities in Russia. People name Suzdal as openair museum. Suzdal does not have2007 in baseball

============

On 11 September 1857, approximately 120 men, women, and children fell victim to one of the largest domestic acts of violence ever witnessed on Northern American soil \[[@CR1]\]. Local residents of southern Utah aided by Southern Paiute Indians carried out the mass slaughter of the Fancher--Baker wagon train: a group of emigrants on their way from Arkansas to California. Only 17 children age six and younger were spared \[[@CR2]\]. On 29 September 1857, when Utah Territorial militiaman John D. Lee reported the Mountain Meadows Massacre to civil and church authorities governing the Utah territory from Salt Lake City, he demonized the Arkansas emigrants, telling that they had deliberately poisoned cattle and an open spring near Fillmore, Utah \[[@CR3]\]. The poisoning, Lee said, led to the death of


dead cattle, he scratched a sore on his nose, and within hours, his face began to swell greatly until his eyes were fully shut \[[@CR4]\]. The cutaneous edema that affected the teenage boy was so extensive that he was unrecognizable. Proctor's misery came to an end shortly after contracting the deadly pathogen. Although intoxication by severe poisoning could have also resulted in rapid death, it is highly unlikely that this was what caused Proctor's fate. A considerable amount of any toxic substance is necessary to poison an open source of water and thus cause serious health consequences in both animals and humans. Furthermore, poisons are mostly fatal when ingested and not necessarily through skin absorption as would have been the case with Proctor and others who only touchedthe carcasses. In addition, poisons such as arsenic---the toxic substance mentioned in the historical records \[[@CR4]\]---would affect the gastrointestinal system, resulting in severe stomach cramping, vomiting, and loss of liquids through uncontrolled bowel movements \[[@CR8]\]. The case of the young man from Fillmore presented clinical conditions that strongly suggest cutaneous anthrax as the likely cause of his death. This disease was unknown, yet endemic in North America during the nineteenth century, and its etiology was often mistaken for something else. To corroborate on the death-by-anthrax theory, an account has been located mentioning the death of an unnamed member of the Fancher--Baker caravan shortly before the group reached the Utah territory. The newspaper entry reported that "one of the leaders from Arkansas was bitten in the hand while asleep


of Proctor's resting place, so to confirm the identity of the remains, we employed the assistance of Sorenson Forensics for the exhumation process while the ancient DNA testing was carried out by the Evolutionary Biology Department at the University of Florence in Italy.

According to cemetery records, the gravesite is located on the east side of the tombstone, on the opposite side of where the engravings are located. An area of 1.20 m wide by 2.50 m long was selected for the excavation. Approximately 20 cm under the surface, what appeared to be the original grave marker was recovered with the epitaph "Proctor Hancock Robison" carved in large capital letters. At about 1.45 m in depth, we began recovering small pieces of wood of what was left of the original coffin. Bones wereCalifornia, purposely poisoned a spring in retaliation toward the unfavorable dealings experienced with Utah territory citizens. Although the sickness and life toll was real, it is highly unlikely that poisoning was the cause of this epidemic. However, this important event had historical and sociopolitical implications as it is possible that it was used as one of the excuses for the execution of nearly all members of the Fancher--Baker group on 11 September 1857 in the area of Mountain Meadows. A careful review of the historical accounts that have survived to our day seems to indicate that anthrax and not poisoning was the likely source of the fatalities near Fillmore. DNA testing was carried out successfully to identify Proctor Hancock Robison, a 14-old boy who died on 21 September


A North West pensioner has been jailed for 13 years for raping and sexually assaulting a primary schoolgirl 40 years ago.

Bolton Crown Court heard that Kenneth Martland aged 72, decided to confess his offences to police last year after being guided by his newly-found religious belief to hand himself in.

Kenneth Martland

However, after police made contact with the woman who was at the centre of the confession, more serious allegations were made that Martland, who was living in Prospect House in Standish, Wigan, when arrested, had raped her twice and sexually assaulted her on a number of occasions.

Prosecuting barrister Charlotte Crangle said the first offence of rape occurred when the girl was aged between seven and nine and the second occurred when she was aged between eight and 10.
