end of the 17th century when countries such as England, France, Spain and Portugal developed their navies into effective fighting forces. It took another blow when the US defeated them in the Barbary Wars; it ceased for good when France conquered Algiers in 1830.

Until the American colonies won their independence from England their shipping was protected under the umbrella of the British, who, like other European powers, had negotiated a treaty with the pirates. Typically, these treaties required the payment of tribute in return for safe passage. Reasonable tributes were regarded as merely a cost of doing business. One of the unintended consequences of independence was the termination of this protection. Ironically, Morocco, which had been the first nation to officially recognize the US as an independent countryalso became the first to seize an American ship. Eventually, the US negotiated a treaty of its own, but the cost of tribute and ransoms was exorbitant. As a fledgling nation, America’s financial resources were limited. In 1800 the amount of tribute and ransom paid amounted to 20% of the US government’s expenditures. This was unsustainable. Something had to be done.

Many politicians were vehemently opposed to paying this onerous tribute. Among the most outspoken was Thomas Jefferson. He had firsthand experience as during the 1790s he was often involved in negotiating the release of prisoners. He firmly believed that paying tribute and ransoms only encouraged further hijackings. (If this sounds familiar, it should, as this was likely the foundation of our policy of not negotiating with terrorists.) Around


this time the US began to develop a navy to deal with the pirates as well as to protect its national interests on the high seas.

When Jefferson took office as President in 1801 he decided to cease these payments. This decision led to two Barbary Wars, 1801 – 1805 and 1815. The pasha of Tripoli declared war on the US in May of 1801. In response, Jefferson sent a fleet to the area. At first this show of force calmed things down, but things accelerated again when one of the ships ran aground, and the pirates captured its crew. That led to armed conflict. Eventually, the US marines landed in Tripoli and captured the port. This battle was the genesis of the line in the Marine hymn withwhich we are all familiar – “from the halls of Montezuma to the shore of Tripoli.” As a result of this victory a new pasha was installed who was friendly to the US. As a symbol of this victory, the new pasha presented the American naval commander with a special sword called a “Mameluke,” which is named for North African warriors. The “Mamaluke” became the model for the Marines’ dress sword. It is still in use today. The victory at Tripoli marked the end of the first Barbary War. Incidentally, two young officers and soon-to-be-famous naval leaders whom you may have heard of distinguished themselves in this war – Stephen Decatur and William Bainbridge. They both went on to long, distinguished naval careers.

The second war began after the


conclusion of the War of 1812. The Dey of Algiers, believing that the US was now considerably weakened, declared war. In response, the US promptly sent a fleet under the command of Decatur and Bainbridge to the area. The fleet defeated the pirates quickly and decisively. This led to a new treaty and the end of the pirate attacks on US shipping permanently. As mentioned above, the pirates’ power ended soon afterwards when France conquered Algiers and established colonies in North Africa.

CONCLUSION

The Barbary Wars marked the first time that the US asserted itself on the world stage. The prompt response and decisive victories served notice that the US was to be respected. I believe that establishing itself in this manner was critical for the young fledgling nation.

In myof the States and in many foreign countries as well.

The roots of the holiday can be traced back at least to 1792 when various cities, such as NYC, celebrated the 300th anniversary of Columbus’ voyage. Other celebrations were held in succeeding years. For the most part, these celebrations took on patriotic themes, such as nationalism, good citizenship and even support for wars. The first state to recognize Columbus Day as a holiday was Colorado in 1906. This was largely due to the lobbying efforts of one Angelo Noce, a first generation Italian-American living in Denver. It became recognized as a federal holiday in 1937, through the strong and persistent lobbying efforts of the Knights of Columbus and other Italian-American organizations.

As I alluded to above, Columbus Day is not


celebrated universally in the US. The methods of celebration vary widely. Most states, such as NY and California, treat it as a major holiday. Schools and state office buildings are closed; there are parades and other official events. Other states mark the day merely as a “Day of Observance.” Virginia combines two celebrations on the same day – Columbus Day and Yorktown Victory Day, which recognizes the decisive victory that marked the end of the Revolutionary War. Four states – Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon and South Dakota – do not celebrate it at all. Hawaii celebrates the Polynesian discovery of Hawaii on that day, but it is not an official state holiday. Government offices and schools are open. South Dakota celebrates “Native American Day.”

Throughout the years there have beenvarious protests surrounding the day. In the 1800s there was an anti-Columbus Day movement based upon its association with immigrants and Catholics in general and the Knights of Columbus, in particular. Those biases were prevalent in those pre-politically correct days. In present day, opposition is based primarily on Columbus’ harsh treatment of Native Americans. He has been labeled as an unsavory character and an opportunist. Furthermore, he has been accused of introducing slavery and disease to the indigenous populace. In general, many historians have a somewhat negative view of Columbus.

There are many myths and exaggerations surrounding Columbus and his famous voyage of discovery. Here are the facts as close as I was able to discern them:

1. Christopher Columbus was born in 1451 in Genoa, Italy. He was not


European to set foot in the Americas. It has been well documented that the Viking, Leif Ericsson, landed in what is now Newfoundland in about the year 1,000. Furthermore, there is evidence that Irish and Celtic explorers may also have preceded him, and, of course, many thousands of years before even them Asians had trekked across the Bearing Strait to settle the Americas.

6. Columbus never did accomplish the primary objectives of his mission. He never found the Northwest Passage to Asia. In fact, Columbus did not even set foot in North America. In his maiden voyage he landed on the West Caribbean island of Hispaniola (present day Haiti). He thought he was in India, so he called the natives “Indians,” an appellation that has stuck. On subsequent voyageshe was described as the “merchant of death.” Supposedly, Alfred was so taken aback by this unflattering characterization he decided to change his will and use his fortune for some good. One of these changes was the establishment of the Nobel Prizes. Alfred died for real in 1896, and the first Nobel Prizes were awarded according to his will’s specifications in 1901. Without boring you with the details there is a lengthy nomination process, which takes several months to complete. The entire process, including the nominated names or entities, is kept sealed for 50 years. Not even the nominees are aware that they have been nominated. The winners are announced in October. For some reason the Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway, while the others, for chemistry,


economics, medicine, and physics, are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden.

In order to appreciate fully the magnitude of this astounding achievement one must delve into Malala’s life story and background. Malala was born on July 12, 1997 in Minora, Northwest Frontier Province, Pakistan. The area in which she lived was under the domination of the Taliban, which, as we know, strongly believes in suppressing women’s rights and has not hesitated to use force to achieve this goal. In February 2009 the Taliban began enforcing a ban on young women attending school in the area. They reinforced this ban by simply destroying the schools. In response, Malala’s father began to home-school her. Later in 2009, at the tender age of eleven, Malala began writing a blog for the BBC describing lifeunder the thumb of the Taliban. One of the primary themes of her blog was to promote education of young women in the Swat district, where she lived. Even though she had used a pseudonym, apparently the Taliban eventually figured out her identity. First, she received death threats. These were published on Facebook and in newspapers and even slipped under her door. When that didn’t work, the Taliban leadership voted formally to assassinate her. Folks, just think. We’re talking about an 11 year-old girl! Finally, in 2012 a Taliban gunman boarded her school bus, seeking her by name. Once she identified herself, the gunman shot her three times and left her for dead. The assassination attempt backfired, however, as she recovered. All it did was raise her profile


she was the key speaker at the opening of the Library of Birmingham, England. She has also spoken at Harvard and met with both Queen Elizabeth and President Obama.

7. She was the winner of Pakistan’s first National Youth Peace Prize.

8. And, of course, the big one – she is co-winner of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize.

CONCLUSION

Like I said at the outset this is a real feel-good story. From humble beginnings, a young woman, a child, really, has led a movement, survived assassination by terrorists, met with world leaders and received the Nobel Peace Prize. If this were a Hollywood movie, we would deride it as unrealistic. A truly amazing story, and an inspiration to us all.Ricardo Menendez March from Auckland Action Against Poverty has long campaigned on axing the sanction for solo mothers who don't name their child's father, which can see parents penalised up to $28 per week.

"For too long we've heard benefit levels are far too low.

The current welfare system is not built on support or compassion, Menendez March says.

"We want the Government to make sure they hear the voices of the people most affected, which are the people we work with."

The next welfare expert advisory group public consultation is in Kelston, West Auckland, on October 9, before moving to other cities.all 30 of the largest US metro areas he has reviewed are for the first time in 60 years "gaining market share over their drivable suburban competition – and showing substantially higher rental premiums". The premium for walkable urban office is 90 per cent, retail 71 per cent, and for rented apartment blocks 66 per cent over drivable suburban products.

By contrast, the "compact city" part of Sydney – within 10 kilometres of the CBD – is well served by mass transit, has a higher density, provides ample opportunities for walking and has a healthier population. That population is also wealthier and has a much higher proportion of graduates.

The units of interest were households and small holder farms keeping approximately 5--15 cattle. A multi-stage sampling strategy was used to select sub-counties and villages. In the Kole district, the households within villages were contacted by radio and asked to participate and bring their livestock to a common meeting place. In Mbale, households within villages were selected randomly from a list of households that were identified to keep cattle. This list was availed by the local veterinary authorities and the local council and one chairperson helped to identify the households.

In a note to clients, Brian Sozzi, chief equtiy analyst at NGB Productions, seemed skeptical that Abercrombie was headed toward a fundamental turnaround.

"The question will be this: As the shorts get squeezed in the early going, is Abercrombie back in a big way in the malls or was this some kind of freakish one-off type quarter?" Sozzie wrote. "I don't believe Abercrombie is suddenly the share winner in teen apparel land, and what is being seen today is management of Street expectations and perhaps, top line related leverage from prior flagship store openings."

One undeniable strength, however, is Abercrombie's growth abroad. International sales account for 30% of the retailer's total sales and Abercrombie operates more than 100stores overseas.

During the third quarter, the company opened 11 new locations, including a flagship store in Hong Kong.

Also, a democratic people cannot afford to exhaust all of their precious, limited time in forging a material living, but must conserve and set aside enough time to do the work of governing their society.

I propose a reduction in formal employment to a firmly enforced, national 4-day work week, with the new open day to be devoted to community and democratic work.

Run 32 Rise of the PTC: Drive To the Railhead Pt. IV, "Showdown in Wycliffe"

15

JUN/10

The session begins with Pieter, back in the chuck-wagon w. Melissande and the drive. He is terribly fevered, and delerious, but is driven to consciousness by the voice of Erathis speaking in his head. She urges him north, immediately, saying if he does not hurry Wycliffe will surely perish. Despite opposition from Simkins and Melissande Pieter mounts up and rides north, swaying in his saddle. The next several days are a blur. Exhaustion, divine will driving him onwards, and visions of a vicious cavalry officer all combine such that Pieter recalls little as he rides down a valley towards a small town. All he can recall well is


and towards Alruna who is standing in the center of Main Street waiting for him. He then sees a third of his force fall prey to the trap the townfolk have dug. He leaps the pit to spar with Alruna, several of his Roughriders try to leap the pit but fail and fall into the pit or are thrown from their horses when the horses balk. His sergeant begins shooting the party with deadly-accurate poisoned crossbow fire. The party attacks, and calls the townfolk atop the roofs to join in firing down on the Roughriders. In the end Viridian dies, and most of his troops with him, the sergeant and a few riders escape to return to the Colonel.

The main force of Roughriders sets up an HQ atopa low hill a few miles from town. From there the Colonel directs units of men to begin burning the fields and the outlying buildings. In the town the villagers begin to despair. The party considers briefly, then waits for a time when the detached units are too far from the Colonel to support him. They come charging out of Wycliffe, heading straight for Col. Vailor and his HQ. Seeing he can’t call back forces before they get to him the Col. detaches his sergeant and troops to attack the five as he takes his headquarters company into the field. He uses bugle calls to direct some of the detached units to unite with his headquarters.

The sergeant and his unit rapidly close with the five heroes charging out


from Wycliffe. The skirmish turns nasty as he directs sub-groups of Roughriders to deal with each hero. He uses his net to restrain Alruna, leaving her tied up with Roughriders. Wythe runs into some trouble as a quartet of riders surround him, he is forced to teleport off his mount to take shelter near Rook. But in the end the Roughriders don’t have the strength to stand against their opponents, and the sergeant perishes soon after all his men are down. A few minutes to catch their breath reveal to the heroes the tactical situation.

Col. Vailor has taken his reformed headquarters into the town center and is raising hell. Robb and Luke are both leading forces of town-folk fighting units of Roughriders who have charged in at thelest the battle be lost. But after the Roughriders are mostly downed the berserkers fall. Once the berserkers are down it soon comes down to Colonel Vailor standing alone. Golden hair waving in the wind, having lost his cavalry hat, Vailor refuses to die. He swings at everyone around him, but in the end is brought down by the combined strength of his enemies. He dies in the middle of Main St., Wycliffe, his story ended. Robb on the other hand does not die, he lies unconscious, critically wounded by the Colonel. But is saved from death, to spend a few days recovering in the company of Alise.

The folks of Wycliffe rejoice and celebrate, after fixing up things a bit. Several days pass as Pieter recovers in a

During its tenth year in operation, Shippensburg University’s Small Business Development Center earned the 2017 US Small Business Administration’s Pennsylvania Small Business Development Center Excellence and Innovation Award. Director Mike Unruh (center) said the award validates the services the center provides the community.

“I always loved small business retail,” said Kara Taylor ’99. Although she graduated from Ship with a social work degree and spent several years in the field, she gravitated toward her part-time work during college at the former East Meets West in Shippensburg as a career.

“It was a longtime goal for me to own a shop,” she said, and when that opportunity came, she went straight to SU’s Small Business Development Center (SBDC).

The SU SBDC is part of a statewide, nationally accredited program


that provides no-cost, confidential consulting and low-cost training to small business owners and entrepreneurs in Adams, Cumberland, Franklin, and York counties. Over its ten-year history, the SU SBDC has consulted with more than 2,100 clients, helped launch 322 new businesses, and created more than 1,000 new jobs. The center received recognition for its success earlier this year with the 2017 US Small Business Development Center Excellence and Innovation Award.

Taylor was familiar with the SBDC from her time as a student at Ship. Although she loved social work, she felt drawn to retail. In 2012, she started part-time work at The Gift Enclosure in Chambersburg “for fun.” Within a few months, the owner expressed interest in leaving retail and moving on.

because they are compensated for by means of risk-adjusted capitation payments. Funds are not allowed to pick and choose their policyholders or deny coverage, but they compete mainly on price and service. In some countries, the basic coverage level is set by the government and cannot be modified.

The Republic of Ireland at one time had a "community rating" system by VHI, effectively a single-payer or common risk pool. The government later opened VHI to competition, but without a compensation pool. That resulted in foreign insurance companies entering the Irish market and offering much less expensive health insurance to relatively healthy segments of the market, which then made higher profits at VHI's expense. The government later reintroduced community rating by a pooling arrangement and at least one main majorthe introduction of the Health and Social Care Act). "Single-payer" thus describes only the funding mechanism and refers to health care financed by a single public body from a single fund and does not specify the type of delivery or for whom doctors work. Although the fund holder is usually the state, some forms of single-payer use a mixed public-private system.

Tax-based financing
In tax-based financing, individuals contribute to the provision of health services through various taxes. These are typically pooled across the whole population unless local governments raise and retain tax revenues. Some countries (notably the United Kingdom, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Portugal and the Nordic countries) choose to fund health care directly from taxation alone. Other countries with insurance-based systems effectively meet the cost of


solely by the Ministry of Health. Within social health insurance, a number of functions may be executed by parastatal or non-governmental sickness funds, or in a few cases, by private health insurance companies. Social health insurance is used in a number of Western European countries and increasingly in Eastern Europe as well as in Israel and Japan.

Private insurance
In private health insurance, premiums are paid directly from employers, associations, individuals and families to insurance companies, which pool risks across their membership base. Private insurance includes policies sold by commercial for profit firms, non-profit companies and community health insurers. Generally, private insurance is voluntary in contrast to social insurance programs, which tend to be compulsory.

HONG KONG (AP) — Tens of thousands of people, many wearing black shirts and some carrying British colonial-era flags, marched


in Hong Kong on Sunday, targeting a mainland Chinese audience as a month-old protest movement showed no signs of abating.

Chanting “Free Hong Kong” and words of encouragement to their fellow citizens, wave after wave of demonstrators streamed by a shopping district popular with mainland visitors on a march to the high-speed railway station that connects the semi-autonomous Chinese territory to Guangdong and other mainland cities.

Hong Kong has been riven by huge marches and sometimes disruptive protests for the past month, sparked by proposed changes to extradition laws that would have allowed suspects to be sent to the mainland to face trial. Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam suspended the bill and apologized for how it was handled, but protesters want it to be formally withdrawn and for Lam toassaulting or obstructing police officers, their statement said.

The march was the first major action since two simultaneous protests last Monday, the 22nd anniversary of the July 1, 1997, return of Hong Kong from Britain to China.

The march through central Hong Kong that’s held annually drew hundreds of thousands of people. It was overshadowed this year, however, by an assault on the legislative building by a few hundred demonstrators who shattered thick glass panels to enter the building and then wreaked havoc for three hours, spray-painting slogans on the chamber walls, overturning furniture and damaging electronic voting and fire prevention systems.

Sunday’s march was the first protest against the extradition legislation to take place on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong harbor. The previous ones were on Hong Kong Island,


an erosion of freedoms and rights in Hong Kong, which was guaranteed its own legal system for 50 years after its return to China in 1997.

Prior to the march, police put up large barricades blocking a main entrance to the railway station to prevent any attempt to enter it. Only passengers with train reservations were allowed into the station, the mass transit authority said, and Hong Kong media reported that ticket sales had been suspended for afternoon trains.

“The high-speed railway station is a connection between Hong Kong and China and this is the nearest place we can spread our message to China,” said Lau, the march organizer.

The station was a source of contention before it opened last September, because passengers pass through Chinese immigration and customs inside. SomeTHE SCREENING ROOM: Australian Cast of The Lion King Performs "Circle of Life" on an Airplane (Video)

Sanders loses D.C. schools job as Rochester, N.Y., ex-chief is chosen

Toledo Superintendent Eugene Sanders was passed over for the top job in the public school district in the nation's capital, learning of the decision yesterday from media reports instead of district officials.

The nine-member Washington board of education unanimously voted to offer the job to Clifford Janey, the former superintendent of the 35,000-student school district in Rochester, N.Y., who is now a vice president at Scholastic Inc., a New York-based educational publisher.

Board members noted that Mr. Janey's selection was supported by Mayor Anthony Williams and key members of the D.C. City Council, including Council President Linda Cropp and Kevin Chavous, chairman of the council's education committee. All three spoke highly of Mr. Janey at the news conference following thewas an honor for me both personally and professionally and it was a wonderful opportunity to talk about the Toledo Public Schools with regard to our academic improvement and the reform activities that have occurred here."

But Larry Sykes, vice president of the Toledo board of education, said it was disappointing no officials in Washington called Mr. Sanders to notify him of the decision before they publicly - or privately - announced it.

"That's the politics of Washington," he said. "The way the district is run, it's no wonder that they're in no better condition than they are - disarray at the top."

Mr. Sanders said he was "doing OK" after learning of the decision. He emphasized his interest in the Washington job should not be interpreted as a desire to


leave Toledo.

"I am certainly not in a job hunt at all. I can assure you of that. I'm certainly excited about the opening of the school year here in Toledo," he said.

Mr. Sanders, 47, was recruited for the Toledo position four years ago when he was a professor and chairman of the department of educational administration and supervision at Bowling Green State University.

A native of Sandusky and a former high school social studies teacher there, Mr. Sanders has a doctorate in education and has authored a book about urban education.

Eighteen months ago, he agreed to a contract extension until 2009 with Toledo Public Schools, which included a provision requiring him to have board permission to seek other positions. He sought and received that permission before interviewing for theWashington job.

He and Mr. Janey were among the seven candidates the 15-member search committee interviewed in Washington two weeks ago. Both were named among the four finalists at the time.

Mr. Janey was the only candidate recommended yesterday to the education board by the seven-member "Education Advisory Collaborative," an ad hoc group of Washington educational, political, and community leaders.

Ms. Cafritz said she expects Mr. Janey will be in the job when schools open in Washington on Sept. 1. She would not discuss the ongoing contract negotiations with Mr. Janey. Mr. Janey's contract in Rochester was terminated in May, 2001, over "some bad choices" in managing the district's budget, Rochester school board member Darryl Porter said.

"Apparently he wasn't that successful here or we wouldn't have terminated his contract," Mr. Porter


EDSAC display opens & commissioning begins

Post this page to popular social media

Hermann Hauser, entrepreneur and EDSAC Project Chairman, has officially opened the EDSAC display at The National Museum of Computing and, as key parts of the reconstruction of one the most influential computers ever built were commissioned, the sights, sounds, heat and sheer size of computing in the late 1940s were brought to life. Already the machine is proving to be a very popular exhibit and is a marvel and an inspiration to visiting educational groups.

and the longer version:

EDSAC, the Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator, was originally built in the University of Cambridge immediately after World War II by a team led by Sir Maurice Wilkes. It was the first practical general purpose computer and marked the beginningof computer programming as a distinct profession. EDSAC was so successful that it was used in Nobel prize-winning scientific research and its design was later developed to create LEO, the world's first business computer.

After two years of research and re-engineering by a team of about 20 volunteers, the EDSAC reconstruction is now becoming a reality that is already fascinating visitors to the Museum.

At the official opening of the exhibit, several key elements of EDSAC were demonstrated. Bill Purvis showed how a program would be input before the advent of keyboards and how the result would be output before screens became commonplace. Peter Linnington revealed how, at the start of the computer age, delay lines were used as stores. As the climax, Chris Burton switched on the EDSAC clock,


the beating heart of the machine.

The three-year project is on schedule for completion late next year and computer historian Martin Campbell-Kelly gave a preview of what is in store by outlining the importance of EDSAC in marking the beginnings of computer programming. He revealed plans for young people to create and run their own programs on one of the world’s most influential early computers.

Andrew Herbert, leader of the EDSAC Project, said: “Reconstructing EDSAC is proving to be a fascinating challenge with lots of surprises. We are incredibly fortunate to be able to call of a volunteer team with an extraordinarily rare skill set. The team includes students of the original computer pioneers and members of the last generation to be trained in the use of thermionic valves, thetime, reliable computing capability for scientists. It could be said that EDSAC invented the user as a distinct class of practitioner. To have a working reconstruction of the computer that trail-blazed both programming practices and computational services for scientific research cannot fail to interest casual observers and more importantly inspire young people with their careers ahead of them. It shows that computer conservation is flourishing and contributing real value in the modern world.”

Notes To Editors

1 EDSAC

EDSAC, the Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator, was built immediately after World War II by a team led by Sir Maurice Wilkes in the Mathematical Laboratory of the University of Cambridge. It was the first practical general purpose computers and was used by scientific researchers across the University. The EDSAC design was later


than 1500 times faster than the mechanical calculators it replaced.

EDSAC read in programs from paper tape and printed its results on a teleprinter.

EDSAC ran its first program on 6 May 1949 and soon after that began nine years of regular service for scientific users across the University of Cambridge and other institutions, ending in July 1958 when it was dismantled to enable the re-use of precious space. By then it had been superseded by the faster and much larger EDSAC 2.

2 The EDSAC Reconstruction Project

The EDSAC Reconstruction Project which began in 2011 is expected to be completed in late 2015. The reconstructed EDSAC, which will occupy 20 square metres, is being built at The National Museum of Computing, where visitors can see the work in progress. The EDSACReplica Project has been funded by a consortium of corporate and private donors led by Hermann Hauser.

The ongoing reconstruction story featuring videos of progress can be seen at www.edsac.org

3 About The National Museum of Computing

The National Museum of Computing, located on Bletchley Park, is an independent charity housing the world's largest collection of functional historic computers, including the rebuilt Colossus, the world’s first electronic computer, and the WITCH, the world's oldest working digital computer. The Museum enables visitors to follow the development of computing from the ultra-secret pioneering efforts of the 1940s through the large systems and mainframes of the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and the rise of personal computing in the 1980s and beyond.

Iowa high school's biomedical science curriculum simulates a college lab

An Iowa high school this fall will launch a biomedical science curriculum as part of the Project Lead the Way program. The class will include the study of DNA, genetic diseases and crime-scene investigations, as well as visits from health care professionals from the community. "It's a lot of what they would be doing in a college lab, but they are getting this at the high-school level," teacher Erica Malloy said. "When they go to college, they will be ahead of the game."fuel store and a newer powerhouse. These were all used to be in a fenced compound, but the fence was removed sometime in the late 1990s. Other structures in the compound include a boat shed, as well as solar panels and weather recording equipment.

Anthony, her attorney says, has more freedom now that her probation has ended, but she continues to live out of the public eye because of the vitriol leveled towards her and her criminal defense team after her acquittal on murder charges in July of last year.

"Casey is surprised and hurt by the intensity of the hatred directed towards her," said Greene.

"None of the people who have profited from her case, the TV pundits and others, none of them have been looking for the truth. They're all dwelling on the scandal."

Greene also strongly refuted an internet article published this week that Anthony is currently in New York City finalizing a book deal and meeting with a CNN host to discuss on on-aira statement Anthony made to her mother Cindy while incarcerated in the Orange County Jail on July 25, 2008. Anthony stated, "When they went and interviewed that girl down in Kissimmee, they never showed me a picture of herů" ::snipping2:: Anthony's criminal team is appealing the four counts of lying to law enforcement she was convicted of last July.

Caylee's mother, Casey Anthony, was acquitted of murder but convicted on four counts of lying to investigators. The toddler wasn't reported missing until 31 days after she vanished in 2008.

Casey Anthony received the maximum sentence of four years but finished it while awaiting trial on the murder charge. She could have received up to 20 years in prison if the new law had been in effect at that time.

Lawmakers opted to toughen the sentence rather than impose deadlines for reporting missing children. Law enforcement officials said that approach, which sponsors had dubbed "Caylee's Law," could have been confusing and counterproductive. The new law purposely does not use Caylee's name. ::snipping2::

The incoming president of the Philippine Catholic bishops' conference has caused a stir by saying anti-drug proliferation efforts should take precedence over narcotics-related slayings in the country.

Archbishop Romulo Valles of Davao said Filipinos should "push, inspire and not condemn" the country's police force "so they do better in their police work."

The prelate made the statement on Nov. 5 after celebrating a Mass offered to "save children from drugs" in the southern city of Davao.

His statement came on the same day that Catholic Church leaders in Manila and Cebu led the observance of "Lord, Heal Our Land Sunday" to dramatize their call to stop drug-related killings.

Most of the


killings] but I also wish you do calculations on how many lives are destroyed by drugs, how many are killed by drugs, how many families are destroyed by drugs?" he added.

Priest, rights groups shocked

The Davao prelate's statement on the killings alarmed some church leaders and human rights advocates.

"This is not the kind of statement that I expected to hear from our pastor and a good bishop," said Carmelite Father Gilbert Billena who has been helping families of drug-related killings.

He said that as church people "we are always called by virtue of our prophetic mission to side with the poor and victims of the many senseless killings today."

The priest said that in his parish alone at least 50 people have been killed during anti-narcotics operations of the police.

"The lawalso states that every one should be given due process and criminals the opportunity to reform," he told ucanews.com.

He said that "as servants of God and His people, we are expected to offer our critical and in-depth analysis on the problem of drugs ... and policy of this government that leads to the killings."

"May our church leaders, specially our good bishops hear the cries of the souls of the victims and the continuing grief of the thousands of families left behind," the priest said.

Archbishop Valles, however, said that Filipinos have never realized the extent of the drug problem in the country until Duterte became president.

In his homily in Manila on Sunday, Archbishop Socrates Villegas, outgoing bishops' conference president, criticized fellow prelates and priests for "falling for the lure


Influence of socioeconomic factors and race on birth outcomes in urban Milwaukee.
A national study found that infants born in low socioeconomic areas had the worst infant mortality rates (IMRs) and the highest racial disparity. Racial disparities in birth outcomes are also evident in the city of Milwaukee, with African American infants at 3 times greater the risk than white infants. This study was conducted to examine the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) and race on birth outcomes in the city of Milwaukee. Milwaukee ZIP codes were stratified into lower, middle, and upper SES groups. IMR, low birth weight, and preterm birth rates by race were analyzed by SES group for the years 2003 to 2007. The overall IMR for the lower, middle, and upper SES groups were 12.4,One-parent families--and the dependent children living in them--in Great Britain.
This article provides updated final estimates of the number of one-parent families, and of the number of dependent children living in them, from 1995 to 1997, inclusive, together with provisional estimates for 1998 to 2000. The existing methodology has been extended so that additional alternative estimates have been generated from which to assess the "best estimates". The number of one-parent families in Great Britain is provisionally estimated at 1.75 million in 2000, and the number of deppendent children living in those families as 2.9 million.


Weight and length growth of two Chinese infant groups and the seasonal effects on their growth.
This is a longitudinal study involving 202 Chinese infants in Chengdu City and 174 Hong Kong infants in their first two years of life. Their weight and length growth are compared, and the seasonal effects on the early age growth for the two groups are illustrated by using a multilevel model approach. The Chengdu infants are found to grow faster in the first 10 months, then stay longer, heavier and fatter for the rest of the study period. The seasonal effect on weight growth for the two groups is the same with the fastest growth in winter and slowest in summer and with a mean difference of about 0.16 kg.

To his credit, old chicken neck went out on top, winning Super Bowl 50 not long ago. But he didn't really win it. He just didn't lose it. The awesome defense of the Denver Broncos stifled the Carolina Panthers all game long. THEY were the true MVPs of the game.

Peyton set a lot of records during his long tenure in the league, but he's always played for a team that had immense talent around him. Both in Indy and Denver, there were superb offensive lines to give him "all day" to throw. And a bevy of world class wide receivers to throw to. Combine that with a couple really


good running backs along the way and the light's out defense he found in Denver, and this guy has fell into rose gardens throughout his career.

But let's face it. Last year Manning threw 7 TD passes and 18 interceptions. This is the kind of ratio that often leads to a QB being cut, or at least demoted to second or third string. Especially one that has a history of serious health problems. Yet that didn't apply to Peyton. He was a "legend".

As mentioned above, Manning indeed put up some gaudy stats over his career, but mostly due to pure longevity. Hang around long enough, almost 20 years in his case, unheard of for most NFL players, and the numbers will eventually accumulate.

Is he the best ever? Not evenclose. His record against Tom Brady and the Patriots is 6-11, including playoff games. Peyton has won two Super Bowls. Brady four. Remember Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana? They both won more Super Bowls. Good grief, even Peyton's goofier little brother Eli won two as well. So did Bart Starr. So if greatness is about championships, Peyton Manning's record hardly puts him at the head of the list.

But there are two stats where Peyton Manning stands out from the rest. Over his career, he has likely made more money as an NFL player than anybody else before. Hundreds of millions of dollars.

And for every one of those bucks, we have to have seen at least a dozen showings of his long list of shameless commercial endorsements. This guy

Since the formula was introduced, retention of first-time students at Pensacola State has risen 10 percentage points, to 80 percent. And graduation rates are nearing 40 percent, compared to a national average of 19 percent for two-year institutions.

Performance funding has helped boost access for students entering Central State University in Ohio—a state in the process of adjusting a formula that in 2014 based 50 percent of funding on degree attainment and 30 percent on course completion.

Since fewer first-year students get help from their families in paying for college, officials have used performance funding to boost financial literacy. Related topics now account for about half the instruction in a required freshman seminar class, says President Cynthia Jackson-Hammond.

Physiological alterations in the homeostatic control of thyroid hormones cause changes in thyroid function tests in pregnant women. A lack of method, trimester and population-specific reference intervals for free thyroxine (FT4) and thyrotrophin (TSH) makes interpretation of FT4 and TSH levels in pregnancy difficult. We established trimester-specific reference intervals for TSH and FT4 in a mixed ethnic population of pregnant women attending two antenatal clinics in the United Arab Emirates. TSH and FT4 result from 1140 women with uncomplicated singleton pregnancy were available. The 95% reference intervals were determined for TSH and FT4 for each trimester for Arab women from the United Arab Emirates and other Arab countries and Asian women.

SteveScenes We Love: Strange Days

It appears that the Oscar race has come down to a battle between Kathryn Bigelow (The Hurt Locker) and James Cameron (Avatar). (Jason Reitman and Up in the Air are running a close third.) Many people have pointed out that Bigelow and Cameron were once married, for about two years, between 1989 and 1991, so it has become a battle of the sexes as well as a battle of the exes. It might be revealing, then, to revisit their one cinematic collaboration, Strange Days (1995). Cameron is credited as the writer of the original story and co-authored the screenplay with former film critic Jay Cocks, while Bigelow directed. It was an expensive film, with a budget of around $42 million, and a flop, with


2009, she developed nephrotic syndrome, which was treated with steroid therapy until February 2011, when complete remission was achieved and the therapy was discontinued. No kidney biopsy was performed because of her advanced age, and the cause of her nephrotic syndrome remained unknown. In February 2013, the nephrotic syndrome relapsed, and she was admitted to the Department of Nephrology of our hospital for steroid therapy. Steroid semipulse therapy (500 mg of methylprednisolone daily for 3 days) and posttherapy (prednisolone tapering from 30 mg daily) were initiated. During admission, she developed sudden epigastric pain and was referred to our department for consultation.

She was 147 cm tall and weighed 44 kg, with a physical status of ASA 3. Her heart rate was 108/min, blood pressure 158/92 mmHg, and respiratory rate 15/min, with an SpO~2~ ofamplitude suitable to scan the screen along the whole height. A position dependent waveform depending on time is generated to obtain a certain correction, for example, an east-west correction. This waveform has a suitable shape and extends, during a vertical scan period, over the whole vertical height of the screen. If, then, the amplitude of the vertical scan is decreased to scan only a part of the height of the screen, the generated position dependent waveform will have the same suitable shape extending daring the same vertical scan period, but now across only part of the height of the screen. As such, the values of the position dependent waveform occur at a wrong position, as now the same correction is performed on a smaller part of the screen.


As Torres Quevedo's research continued, it soon began to veer wholeheartedly into the realm of "thinking" machines. By 1912, his exploration led to "El Ajedrecista," a machine that could carry out complex processes similar to the way a human could. His chess-playing automaton made its first major public debut in Paris in 1914. It was pitted against a single human competitor and played within the confines of a chess endgame called KRK, short for "King and Rook versus King." This first version of the machine was built on an upright panel, with a vertically mounted playing surface and game pieces that jacked into the chess grid like an operator's switchboard. A human player could place their King within a limited range of pre-determined starting points, while the machine'stime the machine's Rook made a move pushing the human opponent's King closer to the edge (and end of the game), a small phonograph played the phrase "jaque al rey" (check to the King). When the machine got the opponent's King into the final game-ending position, the voice repeated the phrase, this time adding a triumphant "mate." And due to Torres Quevedo's skilled programming and mechanical know-how, it did this consistently.

Around 1914, Torres Quevedo released a paper entitled Essays on Automatics, which refers to the work of mid-1800s inventor and mathematician Charles Babbage. Building on Babbage's Analytical Engine (a Victorian-era computing device), Torres Quevedo discusses his own ideas for a "universal automaton." One that could be programmed to do complex human tasks and make decisions based on conditional


data in the same manner as processing IF and THEN statements. His chess game was simply a way of testing his ideas for complex thought processes in machines, in a way, an early indulgence in the field of artificial intelligence. In 1951, Gonzalo Torres Quevedo (Leonardo's son), who had been alongside his father in developing the Ajedrecista's second version, displayed the machine at the Cybernetic Congress in Paris. He even demonstrated the device to Norbert Wiener, a well-known figure in the history of machine intelligence.

Torres Quevedo may not be as popularly recognized as Babbage or Turing for conceptual work in the area of computing, but his forward-thinking ideas and inventions did make an impact on the world -- his cable car invention still shuttles tourists across Niagara Falls.violent collapse of the bubble, leading to heating up of the vapor and, most importantly, to emission of a supersonic shock wave emanating from the collapsed bubble. And finally, when the vapor temperature reaches its critical value the condensation process stops, which leads to an even faster rise of the vapor pressure until the contraction stops and the bubble begins to rebound.
Whether the shock wave is emitted and with what amplitude depends among other parameters on the properties of the liquid and on the dimensions of the reservoir that contains the liquid. For example, it is known that for liquids with higher viscosity, bubble's oscillations are slower and last longer. In viscous fluids, the dynamics of the collapse is slowed down, reducing the energy of the shock wave.


highly absorbed in a liquid, either in a linear or non-linear regime, is delivered to such a liquid, a bubble oscillation sequence develops with a very short temporal oscillation period (TB) in the range from about 100 μsec to about 1000 μsec. The oscillation is damped and lasts for only a few rebounds due to the bubble's energy being spent for heating, moving and displacing the liquid, and under appropriate conditions, also for emitting shock wave acoustic transients. For the purposes of cleaning it is desirable that as much as possible of the bubble's energy is spent in the emission of violent shock waves during the contraction phases of the bubble's oscillation, and preferably at least during the first bubble's contraction phase when the bubble's energy is stillaway from the fiber. This allows the subsequent bubble to develop at the fiber end separately from the prior bubble, and by its expansion to cause the surrounding liquid to exert pressure on the prior bubble during its contraction.
The bubble may move away from the laser's focal point also in non-contact scenarios, providing that the confined reservoir wall's geometry is asymmetrical with regard to the bubble, and the resulting asymmetrical liquid flow shifts the bubble away from its original expansion position.
In another embodiment, the second condition may be fulfilled by physically moving the fiber to a different position within the liquid during the repetition time of the two laser pulses. In yet another embodiment, it is the laser focal point which may be moved in between the pulses,

Boyd considers Bellevue to be one of the top 50 suburban office markets in the U.S. and Canada, and it's in a region with lots of top-tier companies so there is a heavy supply of talented workers.

Here's another feather in Bellevue's cap: The Spring District has been chosen as the site for the Global Innovation Exchange, a partnership between the University of Washington and China's Tsinghua University. This will be the first time a Chinese research university has established a presence in the U.S.

Boyd said the talk of companies rejecting suburban markets in favor of cities has been somewhat overblown. Seattle may be the poster child for cool urban areas, he said, but


also would work in Bellevue because of the city's diversity and the number of residents who speak multiple languages.

As part of his analysis, Boyd put together a comparison of how much it would cost to operate a 125,000-square-foot administrative office in each of the top cities.

In Bellevue, the cost is about $40.1 million per year, making it the 18th most expensive of the 50 top suburban markets. Bellevue is the fifth lowest cost option on the West Coast.

The most expensive West Coast location is Redwood City, California, at $44.7 million per year, and the cheapest is Minden, Nevada at $34.3 million.

Khashoggi, an former insider who became a staunch critic of Saudi Arabia’s new crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, has been living in self-imposed exile over concerns that he would be arrested during the prince’s crackdown on dissent . Saudi authorities have denied detaining him, but the Turkish government said earlier this week that he was still in the building.

On Tuesday, Khashoggi, a Saudi national and Washington Post columnist, entered the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul to pick up documentation to get married. His fiancee, who was waiting outside, told the New York Times that he had not emerged hours later, and he has not been seen since.

The Saudi government’s apparent arrest of dissident and journalist Jamal Khashoggi is “absolutely unacceptable” and “outrageous,” according to two influential Democratic members ofbe a priority for the Trump administration. The day after the journalist disappeared, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo talked with the Saudi crown prince about the war in Yemen, Iran, and “areas for expanding U.S.-Saudi collaboration,” according to a State Department readout of the call. The readout did not mention anything about Khashoggi’s disappearance. A State Department spokesperson told The Intercept that officials were closely following reports of Khashoggi’s disappearance and would “continue to seek information.”

A Saudi spokesperson did not respond to questions from The Intercept. Salman, in an interview with Bloomberg, denied that Khashoggi is in Saudi custody.

be a good thing as the movie is very entertaining and never really get’s too far out, and god knows there’s been some far out silly imitators of those two movies in their time. Instead it stays close to the mystic investigation plot and there are some really impressive scenes – like a full burning body suit, the strange masked woman in the attic, and the shocking reveal at the end.

The mystery at the core of the story is an interesting one and does have a decent surprise to it when it all comes to the surface. The mystery of the masked woman is revealed and the reason for the murders in the convent is understandable. They are motivated by a terrible act in the past – andmany times over and at a much wider stage when Leslee Udwin's India's Daughter was televised officially in the UK and unofficially found its way into India.

Let me state at the very onset that this piece doesn't hold a brief either for or against Leslee Udwin. Perhaps, the Israel-born director, herself a rape survivor, could have delved into the issue a little better and with greater sensitivity. In all likelihood, the government overreacted.

For all said and done, the film is a cautionary reminder to modern young Indian women who take their freedom for granted. Indeed, all is not well in the India of their dreams. But beyond the furore over India's Daughter, we need to look at the average Indian male, who for long has been berated and


four men, whose experiences I chronicle in my documentary Mardistan, have dealt with some form of violence — whether it's emotional, verbal, physical or sexual abuse.” Yet, how many discourses dwell upon men as victims, even though staggering figures are in the public domain. In 2007, the Ministry of Women and Child Development surveyed 12,477 children to learn of their experience of abuse. 68.99 per cent of children, over half of them boys, reported suffering physical violence. One in 12 children, again a majority of boys, reported suffering sexual violence. Yet, any talk on men begins and ends with them as the prime suspects often pronounced guilty before the trial begins. And its surveys such as these carried out by the Centre of Research on Women, US, andthe sun, but during the relatively short encounter with the spacecraft it's a reasonable approximation to consider the planet as moving in a straight line). Because the direction of the spacecraft changes when it encounters the planet and because the original direction of the spacecraft is also arbitrary, it's not immediately obvious how the encounter will look in the Sun frame. The arbitrariness of the directions gives rise to a rich set of possible behavior in the Sun frame, all in accordance with Newton's laws of motion, even though in the planet frame the encounters are simple hyperbolic trajectories. Crucially, because the direction changes, the speed of the spacecraft is different before and after the encounter when viewed in the Sun frame. The outgoing speed is not the


bound together at the center section thereof, and the sheaf of center-bound sheets is folded in two at the center section. If whole of the sheets in a sheaf are folded together, the folded area of the outer sheet in the sheaf is stretched more than that of the inner sheet. Because an image area, on which the image is formed, on the folded area of the outer sheet is stretched, damage, such as toner coming off, may occur on the image area. The same phenomenon occurs in other folding processes such as Z-folding or tri-folding even when a binding operation is not performed. A sheet in a sheaf may be insufficiently folded due to the thickness of the sheaf.

by Vince Brusio

PREVIEWSworld was fortunate to catch up with writer and artist Arne Jysch for his new graphic novel, Babylon Berlin (NOV171960), which is an adaptation of the Volker Kutscher book that inspired the new TV series on Netflix. In this PREVIEWSworld Exclusive interview, Jysch elaborates on the story in 1929 Berlin which revolves around Detective Gereon Rath, who is pulled into a web of drugs, sex, political intrigue and murder.

Vince Brusio: So we know that this book has inspired the TV series on Netflix, but what inspired this book?

Arne Jysch: The same original novel by Volker Kutscher that inspired my comic book also inspired the TV series on Netflix. To make it more confusing: the original title of the

Vince Brusio: Tell us about detective inspector Gereon Rath. Who is this character? What drives him? What is the color of his soul?

Arne Jysch: Rath is a maverick, driven by ambition. His biggest dream is to be accepted and respected in the Berlin homicide division. This comes right after the desire to finally get rid of the overpowering influence of his father, who is the chief of police in Cologne and does everything in his power to use his relations to steer the fate of his son from a distance.

Vince Brusio: This is historical fiction, yes? What research did you uncover about 1929 Berlin that people might not recognize?

RINGWOOD, N.J. — Northern Passaic County has been home for Jen Silverman most of her life. The Ringwood resident and West Milford High School graduate will soon expand her horizons farther, though, to 11 different countries in 11 months.

Silverman, 29, joined the World Race and will start in January. She will grab her backpack and perform volunteer work with local churches and organizations globally.

"I think it's going to be amazing and intense and challenging," Silverman told Daily Voice. "There's a lot of things to process. It's a lifestyle you may not be used to."

Silverman has traveled the world before, as she taught English in Korea and Thailand after she graduated from William Paterson University.

This time she will have a team of fellow volunteers with her while she worksLeon Edwards has steadily carved a 6-2 record in the UFC’s welterweight division since his promotional debut in 2014.

The Jamaican-born Englishman made his inaugural UFC appearance against Claudio Silva in November of that year, losing by split-decision. Motivated by his first real loss (his first official loss came via disqualification), Edwards rebounded by knocking out Seth Baczynski a few months later in Poland at UFC Fight Night 64.

Since his knockout victory over Baczynski, Edwards has amassed a 5-1 record in the UFC, with his sole defeat coming by decision to No. 9-ranked Kamaru Usman back in 2015.

Edwards currently finds himself riding high on a four-fight winning streak — which is precisely why he was so confused when the UFC offered him a fight against the seemingly unknown Peter

LOS ANGELES – Since his death in 1989, Robert Mapplethorpe (American, 1946–1989) has become recognized as one of the most significant artists of the late 20th century. He is best known for his perfectly composed photographs that explore gender, race, and sexuality, which became hallmarks of the period and exerted a powerful influence on his contemporaries. The J. Paul Getty Museum will present one half of Robert Mapplethorpe: The Perfect Medium, a major retrospective exhibition of Mapplethorpe’s work, on view March 15-July 31, 2016 at the Getty Center. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) will host the other half of the exhibition March 20-July 31, 2016. The two exhibitions are drawn from the landmark joint acquisition and gift of art and archival materials made in 2011floral still lifes. It includes some of Mapplethorpe’s best-known images alongside work that has been seldom exhibited. Key themes include Mapplethorpe’s studio practice, the controversy provoked by the inclusion of his sexually explicit pictures in the 1988-90 retrospective exhibition The Perfect Moment, and the legacy he left behind after his death from AIDS-related complications in 1989.

The exhibition begins with a survey of some of Mapplethorpe’s most familiar portraits, including those of his long-time benefactor and lover Samuel J. Wagstaff Jr., poet-musician Patti Smith, and fashion designer Carolina Herrera, among others. It also includes a number of intimate self-portraits, images of artists, and a rarely exhibited series of portraits of the eleven dealers who dominated the downtown New York City art scene during the late 1970s.

Mapplethorpe searched for well-proportioned


was Lisa Lyon, a bodybuilding champion who considered herself a performance artist or sculptor whose body was her medium. After meeting Lyon at a party in 1979, Mapplethorpe and his new model embarked on a six-year collaboration that resulted in 184 editioned portraits. A selection of these images in the exhibition shows her dressed, undressed, and in various guises, ranging from ingénue to dominatrix.

In his art Mapplethorpe was a perfectionist who preferred to make photographs in the highly controlled environment of his New York City studio loft. His style was predominately directorial -- during a shoot he used short verbal commands and gestures to communicate the poses he wanted his models to strike. Afterwards, he would spend hours reviewing his contact sheets and hired master printer Tom Barilluxurious portfolio case wrapped in black silk help to blur the line between fine art and pornography.

The exhibition directly addresses Robert Mapplethorpe: The Perfect Moment, a retrospective exhibition that opened in 1988 at the Institute of Contemporary Art at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia before beginning an eight-venue tour. After the exhibition caught the attention of conservative politicians, it was canceled at the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., two weeks before its scheduled opening. When it was later shown at the Contemporary Arts Center in Cincinnati, director Dennis Barrie was arrested and charged with pandering obscenity -- a charge of which he was acquitted. The exhibition also traveled to the Washington Project for the Arts (WPA), where it had record-breaking attendance. The Getty exhibition documents


and his work than that. He continues to have an enormous impact on the photographic scene.”

The exhibition also emphasizes the care that Mapplethorpe took to craft his legacy. After being diagnosed with AIDS in 1986, Mapplethorpe continued to work more ardently than ever. In 1988 he established the Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation to steward his own work into the future, provide support for photography at the institutional level, and help fund AIDS research. A 1988 self-portrait on view shows Mapplethorpe’s face revealing signs of illness, his hand gripping a skull-topped cane, a symbol of his impending death. The simple composition and brutal honesty combine to make this photograph one of his most visually and psychologically powerful images.

The two complementary presentations at the Getty and LACMA highlight different aspects ofby Paul Martineau and Britt Salvesen with an essay by Eugenia Parry and an introduction by Weston Naef, and Robert Mapplethorpe: The Archive by Frances Terpak and Michelle Brunnick, with essays by Patti Smith and Jonathan Weinberg.

Support for Robert Mapplethorpe: The Perfect Medium and its international tour has been provided by the Terra Foundation for American Art. Additional support for the Getty’s installation has been provided by Sotheby’s.

During the run of Robert Mapplethorpe: The Perfect Medium the Getty Museum’s Center for Photographs will also feature the exhibition The Thrill of the Chase: The Wagstaff Collection of Photographs. Wagstaff amassed an impressive collection of photographs that were acquired by the Getty Museum in 1984, an acquisition that formed one of the cores of the collection of the Department of


Photographs. This exhibition and accompanying publication of the same name will be an opportunity to focus on Wagstaff’s collection and his role as one of the most important patrons and collectors of photography.

The United States Attorney’s Office in a news release said that U.S. District Court Judge Nancy Torresen sentenced 42-year-old Michael A. Morrison for health care fraud and embezzlement.

In addition to jail time, Michael A. Morrison, 42, was sentenced to three years of supervised release, including four months of home confinement. He was also ordered to pay about $206,000 in restitution.

Morrison pleaded guilty on Dec. 11. He appeared Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Portland.

According to court documents, Morrison served as the manager of the Trade Winds Health, Swim and Tan Club in


Rockland between 2005 and 2016. The club also operated a physical therapy practice known as Coastal Physical Therapy.

Prosecutors said that Morrison billed about $175,000 in false claims to Medicare, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, and a Veterans Administration health care program. Morrison exaggerated the length of time that therapists spent with patients and made claims for appointments that were cancelled.

In addition, Morrison billed for services he provided even though he was not licensed and used the names of therapists who did not work on the dates that he indicated.

Court documents show that Morrison embezzled about $31,000 from the Trade Winds by using a health club credit card to pay for online purchases and by stealing cash that he failed to deposit into the club’s bank account.

Success.SUNSET PARK, BROOKLYN — An middle school assistant principal in Brooklyn was busted by the city's ethics board this summer after she tried to recruit her employees to work for a side-gig she had with a cosmetics company, the board announced Thursday.

Sarah Monteleone, who worked at Sunset Park's I.S. 136, had to pay a $1,500 fine in a settlement with The New York City Conflicts of Interest Board, who found out she had tried to get several teachers to join her multi-level marketing gig. Monteleone had been working on the side since 2017 for Younique, an Avon-like cosmetics company that has made headlines for its pyramid scheme-esque business model. A "presenter" with Younique makes money by both selling the cosmetics products and by recruiting new people to become


a Facebook group for Monteleone to promote her makeup tutorials, the settlement said.

The ethics board decided Monteleone should pay a $1,500 fine since she had a "limited number of solicitations" and most of them were unsuccessful, according to the settlement. The city's Department of Education agreed with the settlement.

Monteleone started teaching in 2001 and has been at the Sunset Park middle school since 2007. Officials said that she has no other previous disciplinary history.Alkhater.

When he spots Diane Taylor (Barrie Chase) in a bar, he stares at her, and flirts with her. Max spends the night in jail, but when he sees Diane again, she will succumb to his charms.

Max’s superficial charm is a mask he wears to conceal his violent nature. It is ironic that Diane is attracted to him, yet she knows he is a bad man. In his car, she looks at him with sexual desire and says, “You’re just an animal: coarse, lustful, barbaric.” Later, Max proves her words are true by giving her a severe beating.

When Max believes someone has wronged him, he uses violence as a means of punishment. To punish Sam Bowden (Gregory Peck) for testifying against him,


he threatens to kill his daughter Nancy (Lori Martin). Max also punished his wife, who divorced him while he was in prison. Shortly after his release, he forced her to take a trip with him and “occupied her time for three days.” In other words, he raped her repeatedly. Max’s anger has made him unimaginably cruel.

Anger, if left unchecked, can turn to hate, and hatred can lead to violence. Max tells Sam that while he was in prison, “All I could think about was busting out and killing somebody.” The hatred in Max’s heart sparked a desire for violence. Instead of taking responsibility for his crimes, he blames other people. His hatred of those he blames made him inhuman.
