the effectiveness of the direct primary by getting the candidate they wanted elected in the primary election by giving him all the party s money for newspaper coverage and campaign signs. The problems that limited the referendum, recall, and initiative were: Progressives had difficulty getting enough people to be aware of the problems and sustaining interest until all of the signatures were gathered and the vote was taken. An example of state action Some of the government fairness regulations enacted by La Follette and the Progressives in Wisconsin were: a. Got rid of corrupt politicians, who got him elected. b. Helped enact the direct primary, initiative, and referendum.

7 La Follette supported Progressives who pressured the legislature to pass laws for recalling elected officials, placing limits on how muchmoney politicians could spend for elections, and forbidding corrupt election practices such as paying for votes. La Follette also took the lead in making railroads and timber companies pay taxes. He passed legislation that required people who wanted state government jobs to take a test for the job. Progressives and National Level Solutions Political Parties Political parties try to solve problems that are common to most people in the party. This means that many groups in a political party will not get their particular problem solved. In 1854, Republican party was started. The different groups who supported the Republican party after the Civil War: a. Wealthy and middle-class of the North and West b. African Americans of the South c. Many veterans of the Civil War In 1792,


Democratic party was started. The different groups who supported the Democratic party after the Civil War: a. Poor urban workers in the North b. White Southerners and low-income urban workers c. The people who supported the Democrats were those who were rejected by the wealthy, high class of the Republicans. Democrats, Republicans, and Big Business Laissez faire is a policy in which the government does not regulate how businesses operate. Reasons why no strong federal laws or regulations were passed in the late 1800s: a. Big businesses did not want laws that would make them spend money to help solve the problems of the poor or that would regulate their businesses. b. Many people believed government shouldn t interfere in the lives of people. c. Federal laws werecompromises between legislators from across the nation who often had different ideas about what laws should do. The similarity between Republicans and Democrats was they both agreed that government should not try to regulate businesses.

8 The Progressive Era Under Roosevelt In 1898, Roosevelt became a national hero as a leader of the cavalry unit in the Spanish American War. In 1900, he ran as the Republican Vice President with William McKinley, becoming President upon McKinley s assassination Roosevelt s ideas about government Roosevelt decided to regulate the abuses of big business, he believed that problems caused by big business were leading more people to socialism. Roosevelt s regulation of big business In 1902, coal miners were on strike, this was the first time President Roosevelt interfered with big


business. The owners of the coal mines closed the mines down due to the lack of workers who were on strike. Roosevelt told the owners of the mines that if they did not reopen he would send in federal troops. The mine owners, knowing the people needed coal and would support Roosevelt, gave in to the striking miners, reopening the mines and giving the workers a 10% raise, reducing their work day to 9 hours. Later, Roosevelt referred to this kind of settlement as a square deal. Roosevelt s action marked an important turning point for the federal government, it was the first time the federal government had acted as a mediator in a labor strike. Roosevelt and railroad regulation Roosevelt and Congress regulated the railroads by formingthe Elkins Act, which made the railroads publish their rates and which fined railroads and shippers who received rebates. Roosevelt and other monopoly regulation Roosevelt helped put an end to monopolies that hurt consumers. He either made them accommodate, or closed them down. Different groups supported Roosevelt in the 1904 elections:

9 a. Middle-class consumers they thought he was working to regulate monopolies b. Big business owners they realized that Roosevelt generally supported the growth of big business as long as workers received reasonable wages. The Supreme Court changed during the Progressive Era: a. Several new justices were appointed to the Supreme court as old justices left the Court. b. The new justices believed that government should regulate big business abuse and supported Roosevelt. Roosevelt and natural resources regulation


the work of Theodore Roosevelt by continuing the policy of correcting abuses while helping business grow. Taft became unpopular with Progressives because: a. He was not a skilled politician, and made mistakes b. He opened up a million acres of protected federal land to timber and mining companies The Election of 1912 In 1910, Roosevelt returned from his 2 year visit to Africa and saw that Progressive reformers were angry with Taft. In 1912, Roosevelt decided to run for President again because he and many of the Progressives were angry with Taft s actions. The 4 candidates for President in 1912:

10 a. Woodrow Wilson Democratic candidate b. Eugene Debs Socialist candidate c. William Taft Republican candidate d. Theodore Roosevelt Progressive candidate Wilson won the election, and enough democraticcongressmen were elected to give the Democrats control of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Progressive Era Under Wilson Wilson and relief reforms In 1913, the Underwood Tariff Act was first reformed. This act provided the first real lowering of tariffs since the Civil War, which made imported products cheaper, which helped the consumer greatly. Income tax was included as part of the Underwood Tariff Act because when the prices of imported goods was lowered, the government received less money in taxes. To replace this money, the government collected income tax. In 1912, The right of the federal government to collect income tax was officially approved by the passage of the 16 th Amendment. Wilson and monopoly regulation In 1914, Wilson convinced Congress to pass the


Clayton Act. Price discrimination is charging different prices to different customers. The Clayton Act made price discrimination illegal. Without price discrimination, businesses could not control stores with higher and lower pricing. The Clayton Act was important for unions because it stated that labor unions could not be considered monopolies and the Sherman Antitrust Act could not be used to declare strikes illegal. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) started by Wilson in addition to the Clayton Act. The job of the FTC was to prevent unfair trade prices that reduced competition. The FTC had the power to investigate companies and order them to immediately stop any illegal practice. Events in Europe in 1916 made it seem that America would soon be drawn to the war in Europe. Wilson becameless concerned about working with big business to get ready for the war. (1917 the US entered the war in Europe)

11 Wilson and banking regulation Federal Reserve Act decreased the control New York City bankers had over interest rates and who received loans. It made credit more available all around the country by creating a national banking system. Under this new Act, the government controlled interest rates. Wilson and government fairness regulation 17 th Amendment was ratified in 1913 This amendment established the direct election of senators. It made the government fairer because it required that senators be elected by people in the state rather than appointed by the state legislatures. The Effects of the Progressive Era Limits to Big Business Regulation W. E. B. DuBois was an


African-American college professor at Atlanta University who decided to organize to fight against discrimination. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) tried to help African-Americans by using the courts. With the help of African- American and white lawyers, they filed cases to challenge segregation and discrimination. Native Americans and Mexican Americans Educated Native Americans formed the Society of American Indians (SAI) in 1911 to solve the problems of education, health care, and discrimination. They had few successes in solving these problems and the association fell apart in the early 1920 s. It wasn t until 1934 that the government attempted to improve the worsening conditions of Native Americans. Mexican Americans did no better than Native Americans during the Progressive Era. No organized groups were workingto improve their standard of living or working conditions, and the federal government ignored this group.

12 Examples of Democratic Process Successes Prohibition Prohibition is the idea that the production and sale of alcoholic beverages should not be permitted At first, those who wanted alcohol banned were middle class women who lived in rural areas. They believed drinking made men lose their jobs and leave their families, becoming violent the Prohibition Party was organized in many states, hoping candidates who favored prohibition were elected a different group formed to work just at the local and state levels. This group was called the Women s Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) the Prohibition Party and the WCTU formed a coalition called the Anti- Saloon League. They took action at the state and


federal levels Anti-Saloon League members pressured the federal government to forbid the shipment of alcohol to any state that had laws against the sale of alcohol almost 60% of the American population lived in states that prohibited the sale of alcohol The 18 th Amendment made the sale and manufacture of alcohol illegal everywhere in the U.S. Woman s suffrage Suffrage is the right to vote. When the constitution was written it said nothing about women having the right to vote. Prior to the Progressive Era, a group called the Women s Loyalty League had worked unsuccessfully at getting suffrage for women at the national level. After the Civil War, the Women s Loyalty League formed the National Women Suffrage Association. It was led by Susan. B. Anthonyand Elizabeth Staton. These associations worked to pass the 13 th, 14 th, and 15 th Amendments. The National American Women s Suffrage Association continued to pressure the federal government to pass a national law giving women the right to vote western states had allowed women to vote in state and local elections.

13 1920 after much campaigning by women, the 19 th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified. It gave women the right to vote in all elections. The role of women Between 1880 and 1900 the role of women changed greatly. The number of women working outside the home nearly tripled. As the need for clerical jobs increased, women began doing clerical work that had been done by men in the past. The number of women working


in offices increased from just 4% of total office workers to nearly 50%. Women also joined unions in some industries. The women who led the movement to gain suffrage called themselves feminists. The increasing number of women in universities and the workplace produced leaders for a feminist movement. Ideas such as equal pay for equal work, and the opening of all professions to women were part of the feminist movement.

'Punctuation hero' branded a vandal for painting apostrophes on street signs

After enduring sloppy punctuation on the street sign outside his home for more than a year, Stefan Gatward could stand it no longer.

The 62-year-old former soldier decided to launch a one-man crusade against 'dumbed down' Britain, and picked up a paintbrush to insert a missing apostrophe.

This turned the incorrect St Johns Close into the correct St John's Close.

Apostrophe catastrophe: Stefan Gatward makes the change to the sign for St John's Close in Tunbridge Wells

But he was immediately accused of being a vandal by one neighbour, and his amendments have been scratched off by others who apparently prefer the wrong version.

The 62-year-old's defence of the apostrophe comes after Birmingham council announced it would scrap the punctuation from council signsfor the sake of 'simplicity'.

Mr Gatward moved into his flat in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, 14 months ago.

He said today: 'As we are off St John's Road and opposite St John's Church, both with the apostrophe, St John's Close should have one too.'

But when Mr Gatward decided to correct the crime against the language by painting in the missing punctuation mark, he was jeered by a neighbour.

'He told me I was wrong. He called me a vandal and a graffiti artist,' Mr Gatward said.

'He tried to tell me that the Post Office would not deliver to the street if you put in an apostrophe.'

5 FOURTH-OF-JULY WISHES FOR THE NEXT PRESIDENT

July Fourth should rank as one of the proudest, most optimistic days of the year for people who enjoy the freedoms of living in the United States. John Adams imagined future generations celebrating the Declaration of Independence with “pomp and parade” and “illuminations” across the continent, and parades and fireworks still mark the occasion.

But this year something’s missing. Wherever I go, even on social media, people talk about wanting to sit out an election between candidates who have record-setting unpopularity.

Freshman quarterback Sam Ehlinger, who led a 91-yard touchdown drive late in regulation in his second start, fumbled on Texas' possession trying to drive toward the goal-line.

"He was the heart and soul today," linebacker Malik Jefferson said. "Him fighting, him pushing, him going the extra yard, him taking those hits -- you can't say anything more.

The loss endedleft.

The 91-yard drive partially made up for several missed opportunities. Ehlinger (21-of-40, 298 yards, two TDs, two interceptions) admitted to some jitters.

Five takeaways as Texas falls to USC in heartbreaking fashion

"It took a little bit of time to get used to the roar of a crowd in a sold-out stadium," Ehlinger said of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Texas was unable to get points after DeShon Elliott gave it prime field position midway through the fourth quarter with his second interception and a return to the USC 25. The drive ended on an Ehlinger interception.

"I think we know there's a guy that had some freshman issues tonight," Herman said, "but is a guy that was a warrior there down the stretch on the road against a top-five team."

"To the public, it might be his coming-out party," Texas defensive back Holton Hill said. "We see it all the time."

Third-down specialist Jeffrey McCulloch took USC out of field goal range with an 11-yard sack in the fourth quarter.

"They kept us in the game," Herman said of the defense. "We couldn't do anything in the first half. Nothing."

Trojans gained momentum at the half

USC took advantage of Texas dropping its defensive backs very deep with a big-play touchdown.
Darnold bought time against the Texas pass rush andfound Jones underneath the Texas defense. The former McKinney North standout did the rest.

After Hill slipped, Jones cut to his left and beat the secondary to the end zone. The 56-yard touchdown on the final play of the first half gave USC a 14-7 lead.

"The big plays killed us," said Jefferson, who finished with 11 tackles.

The running game disappeared

After pounding San Jose State into submission, Texas never established the running game against USC.

After combining for 32 carries and 238 yards - 166 by Warren - against San Jose State, the two had just nine carries for 24 yards. The quarterbacks again became the focal point of the Texas run game, between Ehlinger and Jerrod Heard in the Wildcat package.

McCain Volunteer Ashley Todd Attacked and Mutilated in Pittsburgh (Photos)

Ashley Todd after being attacked and mutilated

A McCain campaign volunteer was attacked and mutilated while being robbed at an ATM in Bloomfield, near Pittsburgh last night. The attacker carved a "B" into the 20-year-old woman's face after noticing McCain bumper stickers on her car.

Pittsburgh news stations and newspapers are reporting that Ashley Todd, from College Station, Texas, was withdrawing money from an ATM around 9pm Wednesday after leaving a Republican phone bank, when she was approached by "a dark-skinned African-American man about 6'4", who held a knife at her throat.

The suspect stole $60 from Todd and became enraged when he saw the McCain stickers on her car, saying, 'Oh you're with McCain, you're with the McCain campaign? I'm goingthird germ layer, called mesoderm. Together, the three germ layers will give rise to every organ in the body, from skin and hair to the digestive tract.

Gastrulation differs across species, but the general process is the same: the hollow ball of cells that forms the blastula differentiates into layers. The first phase of gastrulation produces a two-layered organism comprised of ectoderm and endoderm. The ectoderm will form the outer components of the body, such as skin, hair, and mammary glands, as well as part of the nervous system. Following gastrulation, a section of the ectoderm folds inward, creating a groove that closes and forms an isolated tube down the dorsal midsection of the embryo. This process of neurulation forms the neural tube, which gives rise to the central


nervous system. During neurulation, ectoderm also forms a type of tissue called the neural crest, which helps to form structures of the face and brain. The endoderm produced during gastrulation will form the lining of the digestive tract, as well as that of the lungs and thyroid. For animals with three germ layers, after the endoderm and ectoderm have formed, interactions between the two germ layers induce the development of mesoderm. The mesoderm forms skeletal muscle, bone, connective tissue, the heart, and the urogenital system. Due to the evolution of the mesoderm, triploblastic animals develop visceral organs such as stomachs and intestines, rather than retaining the open digestive cavity characteristic of diploblastic animals.

Christian Pander, a doctoral student of Ignaz Döllinger at the University of Würzburg, in Würzburg, Germany,first recognized the existence of germ layers in chicks (Gallus gallus) in 1817. In the publications derived from his dissertation, Pander described how two layers of cells, which he called serous and mucous, gave rise to an intermediate layer, which he called vascular. Pander wrote of the interdependence of these three layers as well as the necessity of their interaction to form organs.

In 1825, eight years after Pander's initial descriptions, Martin Rathke, a physician and embryologist from Prussia (now Poland), discovered layers of cells in a developing invertebrate crayfish, Astacus astacus, that corresponded to those Pander had described in chicks. Rathke showed that the embryonic layers Pander described existed in animals outside of the vertebrate clade. Karl Ernst von Baer, a professor of anatomy at the University of


Königsberg, in Königsberg, Germany, applied Pander's germ layer concept to all vertebrates in his 1828 Über Entwicklungsgeschichte der Thiere. Beobachtung und Reflexion (On the Developmental History of the Animals. Observations and Reflections).

Discussion of the germ layers dwindled over the next twenty one years, but they resurfaced when Thomas Henry Huxley, a natural historian in England, published "On the Anatomy and Affinities of the Family of the Medusae." In that 1849 text, Huxley suggested that adult jellyfish (Medusae) possessed two tissue layers, which he called foundation membranes, that relate to each other in the same manner that Pander had observed of the serous and mucous layers in the chick embryo. Huxley realized that a correlation existed between the body architecture of the adult jellyfish and the vertebrate embryo. Basedon that association, Huxley attempted to integrate the study of vertebrates with that of invertebrates, and to unite studies of development, or ontogeny, with studies of organismal relationships, or phylogeny. The relationship between ontogeny and phylogeny, later called recapitulation, would be adopted and expanded by proponents of evolution, including Charles Darwin, in England, and Ernst Haeckel, a professor of comparative anatomy at the University of Jena, in Jena, Germany.

In the six years following Huxley's publication on Medusae, embryologist Robert Remak, in Germany, refined germ layer theory in two ways in his treatise Untersuchungen über die Bildung und Entwickelung der Wirbelthiere (Studies on the Formation and Development of Vertebrates). First, while working as a microscopist, Remak noticed that all of the germ layer cells of the chick embryo derived


from the original single cell of the fertilized egg. Thus, Remak concluded, all cells originate from division of pre-existing cells, a conclusion that became central to cell theory. Second, Remak provided histological evidence for the existence of three distinct germ layers and traced the derivatives of each throughout chick development. Few noticed Remak's contributions to cell theory and research on germ layers.

In 1867 Aleksandr Kovalevsky, professor of embryology at the University of St. Petersburg, in St. Petersburg, Russia, published a series of studies that showed the presence of germ layers among invertebrates. Kovalevsky's work established the universality and homologous nature of the germ layers within the animal kingdom.

According to Jane Oppenheimer, a biologist and historian of science who worked at Bryn Mawr College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during thetwentieth century, Kovalevsky's research prompted some of the most prominent scientists of the nineteenth century to research on the germ layers. The concept of the germ layers as invariant across species soon became entrenched and formed the basis of germ layer theory. Germ layer theory held that each of the germ layers, regardless of species, gave rise to a fixed set of organs. In 1872 Ernst Haeckel combined observations of germ layers with evolutionary theory to hypothesize that an unknown two-layered organism, which he called a gastraea, was ancestral to all other animals; this came to be known as the Gastraea Theory. One year later, Edwin Ray Lankester, Professor of Zoology at University College, London, in London, England, published a theory similar to Haeckel's along with a classification


of all animals based on their composition of germ layers: homoblastic, diploblastic, and triploblastic. Researchers still use Lankester's classification.

In the late 1870s, several years after Haeckel's and Lankester's publications, many embryologists challenged germ layer theory and Haeckel's Gastraea theory. Wilhelm His, Rudolf Albert von Kölliker, and Oscar and Richard Hertwig, all in Germany at the time, objected to the germ layer theory. In a series of publications from 1878 through 1881, the Hertwig brothers provided evidence that the germ layers had greater capacities for differentiation than most scientists recognized. In 1881 the Hertwigs formulated their Coelom theory, which focused on the role of mesoderm and also introduced the term and concept of mesenchyme, a type of animal tissue derived mostly from mesoderm.

Amid the varied arguments supporting or denyinggerm layer theory, some embryologists in the 1890s began to refocus their efforts on methods that could help them further understand how animals develop, and they employed physical manipulations of embryos rather than purely observational or descriptive embryology. In 1901 Charles Sedgwick Minot, a professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, predicted that the transplantation of cells from one germ layer onto another resulted in those cells adopting the fate of their new environment.

More than twenty years later, in 1924, Hilde Proescholdt Mangold and her doctoral advisor at the Zoological Institute in Freiburg, Germany, Hans Spemann, found evidence for Minot's prediction and dismantled the foundation of the germ layer theory. Mangold harvested presumptive ectoderm from the dorsal lip, a tissue that organizes the gastrula stage, of an


to investigate the capacity of the germ layers to transform into tissues atypical of normal differentiation.

Throughout the remainder of the twentieth century, researchers continued to accumulate evidence that invalidated the theory that germ layers are pre-defined or highly-fated tissues. Following the works of Spemann, Mangold, and Hörstadius, scientists further explored germ layer potential for varied development. In the early 1950s Robert Briggs, at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, and Thomas King, at the Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, transplanted nuclei from the presumptive endoderm of the northern leopard frog, Rana pipiens, into eggs from which they had removed the nuclei. Briggs and King tracked the development of these transplanted nuclei to explore the timing of cell differentiation, and with those experiments they laid the foundation forfuture research in cloning. In the late 1960s Pieter D. Nieuwkoop, at the Hubrecht Laboratory in the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Science, in Utrecht, Holland, discovered that endoderm induces adjacent ectoderm to form mesoderm. In the 1980s scientists shifted their focus towards identifying the genes that induce structural differentiation of the germ layers. Researchers in the early twenty-first century investigated the regulatory networks through which individual genes interact to cause germ layer differentiation.


commissure. More caudally, a dense bundle of positive fibers was observed at the level of the ansa lenticularis, the inferior thalamic peduncle, and the adjoining bed nucleus of the stria terminalis. Several fibers contributing to this bundle were of the woolly type. Woolly fibers also coursed in the substantia innominata between the ventral aspect of the globus pallidus and the optic tract, and ascended in the internal medullary lamina separating the internal and external segments of the globus pallidus. Somatostatin-immunoreactive cell bodies were uniformly scattered throughout the substantia innominata. The various nuclei of the amygdala showed a wide range of immunoreactivity. The central nucleus was lightly reactive, whereas the intercalated masses displayed a moderate staining. A dorsoventral gradient of immunostaining was noted in the ventrolateral portion of theU.S.C.A. § 157.
I. STATEMENT OF THE CASE
A. Background Facts
Beau Rivage Limited's ("Beau Rivage") sole asset is the Beau Rivage Apartments ("the Apartments") overlooking the Chattahoochee River in Roswell, Georgia. The Apartments, over twenty years old, consist of 409 units in thirty-seven buildings. Beau Rivage has 329 limited partners holding 566 outstanding partnership units. Beau Rivage's general partners are Richard R. Felker, John J. Cross, and RFC Realty, Inc., a corporation wholly owned by Mr. Felker.
Beau Rivage purchased the Apartments in 1981. At the time of the purchase, the limited partners of the debtor had invested approximately $5,250,000. On May 6, 1986, Beau Rivage sought refinancing of the property and entered a non-recourse secured lending arrangement with Confederation Life Insurance Co. ("Confederation Life") to obtain a $9,800,000 loan. The


loan was payable over 20 years at Confederation Life's prime lending rate of 9 7/8%, and secured by a first priority security deed on the property and its proceeds.
From 1986 until recently the Apartments were the subject of severe waste and deterioration as a result of a serious water penetration problem. At the time of the refinancing, eighteen of the apartment *634 units were out of service because of the deterioration, and the apartments were at 82% occupancy.
During 1988 and 1989 the Apartments did not generate enough revenue to service Beau Rivage's debt and to operate the property. As a result, Mr. Felker and Mr. Cross loaned approximately $991,000 as needed to supplement income and meet the mortgage and other expenses. The deterioration problem continued. By Autumn of1989, 64 units were out of service. In October of 1989, Mr. Felker advised Confederation Life about the deterioration problem and the accompanying drop in occupancy levels and suggested a mortgage moratorium comprised of reduced mortgage payments and reinvestment of excess revenues in repairs. Beau Rivage withheld the October mortgage payment in its entirety, and Confederation Life ordered two renovation and repair analyses.
In November 1989, Confederation Life declared Beau Rivage to be in default, accelerated the unpaid balance of the promissory note, and stated its intention to seek a state court receiver. Beau Rivage filed its voluntary Chapter 11 petition soon thereafter.
B. Proceedings in Bankruptcy Court
The Chapter 11 petition was filed on November 29, 1989, and Confederation Life filed a proof of claim for $11,001,455. On April 11,


1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for sample injection in gas chromatography.
2. Description of the Related Art
In a conventional apparatus for sample injection in gas chromatography, a vaporizing chamber is normally constituted from a thin, long, and straight glass tube whereto the needle of a syringe is inserted from the upper end, known as a liner, and is provided with a metal bottom plate member for closing the opening formed on the lower end of the glass tube and for inserting the end of the separation column.
When such a straight glass tube is used, the injected sample reaches the lower end of the vaporizing chamber instantly, and it takes a long time until the sample that has reached the bottomsample through a curved or crooked sample path into a vaporizing chamber formed of continuous inner walls; temporarily holding the sample in a holding chamber provided in the vaporizing chamber; then vaporizing an objective compound; and introducing the objective compound into a separation column; or by using an apparatus for sample injection in gas chromatography comprising a vaporizing chamber, a syringe introducing portion installed above the vaporizing chamber, and a separation column connecting portion installed under the vaporizing chamber; in which the vaporizing chamber has a curved or crooked sample path and is formed with continuous inner walls, and comprises a holding chamber for temporarily holding the sample in the vaporizing chamber.
By using the vaporizing chamber having a curved or crooked sample path and formed with continuous inner


walls as described above, the injected sample can be held temporarily in the vaporizing chamber, thus enabling the injection of a large volume of sample. By adjusting the temperature of the vaporizing chamber by supplying a heat medium such as heated air around the vaporizing chamber, the objective compound is vaporized, and the vaporized objective compound is introduced into the separation column for analysis.
By heating the sample held in the vaporizing chamber to first volatilize only the solvent and to discharge the volatilized solvent through a split vent; then adjusting the temperature in the vaporizing chamber to vaporize the objective compound; and introducing the objective compound into the separation column; the injecting volume can be increased, and the accuracy of the analysis can be improved as compared withchamber for supplying heated air warmed by the heater to the air chamber.
A needle of the syringe storing the sample penetrates the partition wall of the syringe introducing portion, and extends above the vaporizing chamber; and the syringe introducing portion comprises a carrier gas supply port and a septum purge vent.
The end of the separation column passes through the partition wall provided to the separation-column connecting portion, and extends below the vaporizing chamber.
A split vent is provided to the separation column connecting portion.
By constituting the vaporizing chamber from a single member, the number of members can be reduced comparing to the vaporizing chamber constituted by, for example, connecting two members.

Student Production Workshop

SPW ensemble members performing a scene from the play at the Student Theatre Arts Festival

Student Production Workshop’s summer production She Was as Beautiful as the Moon follows two strangers, Luna and Alexander, who spend the evening recounting the moments, good and bad, that made them who they are. At the heart of the production are playwright Hanako Montgomery, and director Kayla Arvelo. The two have continuously collaborated throughout the play’s development, dating back to the play’s first reading, directed by Arvelo.

Education Coordinator Sarah Kutnowsky sat down with the pair to discuss their partnership and bringing the play to life.

Sarah Kutnowsky: What was the inspiration for She Was as Beautiful as the Moon?

Hanako Montogomery: There were many different things, but one of the key things waslike to think I’m not.”

Cathlouin, a member of SPW, asked Nadia Quinn how she developed her character as Goat’s mother. Nadia shared with us how she met with Alex and decided to give the character a background story, where she and her son have a junkyard and they sell used items to get by. When asked what his favorite moment from the musical was, Lance Robert, the actor portraying Clement Musgrove, stated it was during the musical number for “Steal With Style” because he feels as if he’s in a music video.

JUSTICE GARMAN delivered the opinion of the court:

Plaintiff Gregory Sepeda appeals from the March 30, 1998, order of the circuit court of Cass County dismissing with prejudice his lawsuit against defendant Alfred B. LaBarre, special adminis

trator of the estate of Kathleen M. Edwards.  We reverse and remand.

BACKGROUND

On December 18, 1995, plaintiff was injured when his truck collided with a car being driven by the decedent.  She and her infant son, Toby James Edwards, were killed in the accident.  They were survived by her husband, Daniel Herbertthe notice was also sent to the elder Edwards' place of employment, but it, too, was addressed to his late son.

At the December 16, 1997, hearing, no one appeared for the estate of Kathleen M. Edwards and defendant was appointed as administrator.  Also on December 16, 1997, plaintiff filed his complaint against the estate, alleging negligence on the part of the decedent.

On February 9, 1998, defendant entered a special and limited appearance for the purpose of contesting jurisdiction (735 ILCS 5/2-301 (West 1996)), asserting that the failure to give notice to Daniel Herbert Edwards, decedent's sole surviving heir, rendered his appointment as special administrator void.  In the pleading filed by defendant, he asserted that his appointment as special administrator was made pursuant to the Wrongful Death


Direct flights from Perth to London will be introduced in 2018, marking the first time Australians will be able to fly direct to Europe.

Key points: Flights will operate from Perth Airport's domestic terminal

Flights will operate from Perth Airport's domestic terminal State Government will contribute $14m for works at airport

State Government will contribute $14m for works at airport Qantas boss Alan Joyce says route will create hundreds of jobs

Announcing the new non-stop service, Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce said the 17-hour flights would be the third-longest passenger flights in the world.

Mr Joyce said the airline's new 787 Dreamliner aircraft would be used on the route, which would operate from the domestic terminal at Perth Airport from March 2018.

The announcement came after the WA Government ended an impasse with Qantasand agreed to help fund an upgrade of the terminal.

Premier Colin Barnett said the state would contribute $14 million for capital works at the airport, to be used for the construction of quarantine and Australian Border Force infrastructure.

Qantas wanted the non-stop service to operate out of a domestic terminal, rather than the new international terminal, to make it easier for passengers with connecting flights.

Mr Joyce said the new route was "amazing news" for Perth and Australia and was a "watershed for travel, tourism and trade".

"This is a ground-breaking aircraft, on a ground-breaking route for Qantas," he said.

"Our customers, from Perth, are going to have a service that saves you three hours getting to London and from the UK getting here."

"From Melbourne and Sydney and all other destinations in


Australia, it will save you an hour going through Perth compared to Dubai or Singapore or other destinations."

Longest long-haul flights Auckland—Dubai: 17 hours, 25 minutes

17 hours, 25 minutes Perth to London: 17 hours

17 hours Dallas/Fort Worth—Sydney: 16 hours, 55 minutes

16 hours, 55 minutes Johannesburg—Atlanta: 16 hours, 50 minutes

16 hours, 50 minutes San Francisco—Singapore: 16 hours, 30 minutes

16 hours, 30 minutes Abu Dhabi—Los Angeles: 16 hours, 30 minutes

Mr Joyce said the aircraft was specially built for the long journey.

"This is great for Western Australia. It's going to create hundreds of jobs," he said.

"This has potential to be a bigger haul, with operations potentially into Paris, into Frankfurt, into southern Europe and build a true hub here for Australians to travel to Europe and Europeans to travel into Australia.

"Australians havePerth an international destination for air travellers," he said.

"It elevates Perth to one of the major sites around the world, where you will get major flows of international tourists.

"The tourism benefits to the state are enormous. The service will create opportunities for people to stop over in Perth for a day or two if en route to or from another Australian destination."

He said new jobs would be created both at Qantas and at business providing support to Qantas, and it was hoped direct routes to other European cities would also be created eventually.


When American colleges go door to door, recruiting teenaged hockey players, they now have bragging rights over the Canadian Hockey League thanks to the United States’ victory in the world junior hockey championship.

“What it demonstrates is how good college hockey is,” says Mike Snee, the executive director of College Hockey Inc. “It speaks to the calibre and quality of play and player in NCAA hockey.”

The American team was loaded with college players as it earned the U.S.’s third gold medal since 2010, the most by any country in that time span. Canada, a team loaded with major junior players since the inception of the tournament, has won one gold medal since 2010.

It’s a point not lost on American recruiters.

“We have a lot of bullet points, and this isone that is huge,” says Snee, whose outfit promotes the U.S. college hockey experience to teenagers.

The hockey world has been waiting for the Americans to arrive. They haven’t done so at the senior level in international tournaments — their lone title in the last 50 years was at the 1996 World Cup — but Olympic glory is probably only a matter of time (and continued NHL participation).

But bubbling beneath the surface — and beyond its vaunted U.S. national development program — is the rise of the U.S. college system as an important cog in developing players.

When the Americans won the world juniors in 2010, they did so with a roster that only slightly favoured players that went to a U.S. college. Twelve were NCAA players, 10 played in


major junior. There were no other college players in the tournament.

By 2013, when the Americans won again, the division was more stark: 14 members of their roster played in the NCAA, eight were in major junior. There were two college players on other teams.

And this year, the Americans won with a roster filled with college players: 20 of 23. Perhaps more telling, other countries also drew from the U.S. college system: Finland, Slovakia, Latvia all had players, Canada had two.

There are statistics outside the junior tournament that show U.S. college hockey on the rise.

11 first-round picks in the 2016 NHL draft were either from an American college or on their way to college (up from seven in 2015, three in 2014, and zero in 2013).

Up until this last year, Zambia has remained strong in upholding its citizens’ position that Zambia is a No-GMO country. The ongoing review process by the National Biosafety Policy is extremely concerning, especially given the very biased pro-GMO agenda that has been the undercurrent of discussions thus far and seemingly aimed at completely altering the national position.

The public still awaits further communication from the Ministry of Higher Education, Science and Technology, that is overseeing the National Policy review process.

We, the members to the Zambia Alliance for Agroecology and Biodiversity, and citizens of Zambia, call on our National representatives to uphold the best interests of the people and not be swayed by the powers of multinational corporations and their foreign policy allies.

"Well, see you around, doctor," Deborah said. She smiled and started back toward the car.

"Just a moment," Spencer called out.

Deborah stopped and turned.

"What is your name, if I may ask?"

"Georgina Marks," Deborah responded. She felt her pulse quicken. It was the first time she'd used the alias.

"Is it true you have an appointment with Helen Masterson?"

"At ten o'clock," Deborah answered. "Unfortunately we're late, thanks to that security fellow."

"I will give her a call and let her know it was not your fault."

"Thank you. That's very kind of you."

"So you are looking for work here at the clinic?"

"Yes," Deborah said. "My roommate and Iit clear that you'll be doing the distracting and I'll be doing the extracting."

The Last Night At Chinatown Fair Arcade: An Interview With Kurt Vincent

Here at Play the Past we talk a good bit about history in games and teaching history with games. Today I am excited to put up a post that moves us a bit further in the direction of thinking about history of games and draw some attention to a neat project on Kickstarter.

In business since at least the 1950s Chinatown Fair an old school arcade, closed its doors forever a few months ago. Kurt Vincent is working on a film documenting the final week of the arcade and the owners former manager’s launch of a new arcade in Brooklyn. I was excited to be able to chat with him about the project.

Before getting to the interview herethis singularity to its geography, which I believe is the reason it survived for as long as it did even while every other arcade in NYC closed.

I am still learning the history and to be honest I only know the basics. A respected Chinese American war-veteran, George Gee, ran the arcade throughout the 1940’s and 1950’s when it was actually located across the street from where it later stood and included a museum of artifacts from China to attract tourists as well as a penny arcade featuring early coin-operated games. I was told by Henry Cen, the former manager of CF who grew up across the street, that the contents of the museum were sold to the Museum of Chinese in America in the 1980’s. Though I haven’t


Spitfire Paddy: The Ace with the Shamrock

Dublin born Brendan Finucane, or ‘Spitfire Paddy’ as he came to be known, was a young man whose dream of piloting a plane led him into the Second World War. As one of Britain’s best Spitfire pilots Finucane became famous, however, his achievements were little known in his home nation. Now a new documentary tells the tale of the Irish WWII fighter pilot ace.

The story of Brendan ‘Paddy’ Finucane may come as a surprise to many Irish people. A member of the Royal Air Force with a shamrock emblazoned on his Supermarine Spitfire, he was one of the top fighter pilots, and at 21, the youngest wing commander during the Battle of Britain – the youngest to ever hold this rank.

The youngDubliner achieved hero status in Britain during the early years of the Second World War and following his death in 1942 over 2,500 people attended his memorial service in Westminster Cathedral. Today, a London street and hospital wing bear his name but it’s only very recently that Finucane’s story has started to be remembered here at home.

Taking more than four years to produce, documentary film Spitfire Paddy: The Ace with the Shamrock chronicles the fascinating life story of Finucane, the Irishman who became a war hero in Britain and around the world. For an RAF fighter pilot his background was not what you would expect. Born in Dublin, Finucane was educated by the Christian Brothers and his father fought as a volunteer alongside Eamon de Valera in Boland’s


Mill during the 1916 Rising.

Growing up, Brendan was a keen sportsman, excelling in boxing, rowing and rugby – where he proved to be a natural leader on the pitch. Like most young boys, he had a passion for flying and on visits to his cousins in Britain he would camp out at Southampton Airport and watch the planes take off and land. In 1932 Brendan’s interest in flying was cemented when he and his younger brother Ray took a trip around Baldonnel Aerodrome in a biplane. It was at that moment he knew he had to become a pilot.

In the winter of 1936, at the age of 16, Brendan emigrated with his family to Richmond in London where he started work as an accounts clerk in a localgarage. However, his childhood ambition to fly still burned and he joined the RAF on a short service commission two years later at just 171⁄2, the minimum age requirement. With political unrest in Europe and the dark clouds of war looming, he began his training in Sywell, Northants.

It was there that the nickname ‘Paddy’ began. Given to him because of his Irish heritage, it would follow him throughout his RAF career. Surprisingly, considering his later accomplishments, Brendan initially struggled to gain his pilot’s license and at one point even crashed a plane. He was on the verge of being dismissed when his commanding officer, noting his determination to succeed, decided to send him for further training. It was only when ‘Paddy’ finally took the controls of a Spitfire


in June 1940 that he truly felt at home with his aircraft.

On 12 August that same year, Nazi Germany launched ‘Eagles Day’, an offensive that marked the beginning of what was to become the Battle of Britain. In his first true test, Finucane proved his prowess, shooting down his first German plane that morning. Over the course of the campaign he was credited with destroying four enemy planes and damaging one. This exceptional contribution led to his commanding officer recommending him for a distinguished Flying Cross medal.

Altogether it’s believed that Spitfire Paddy downed 32 enemy planes in just two years – the second highest tally of any RAF pilot. He rose quickly through the ranks, becoming wing commander at just 21, the youngest ever to hold the rank.Finucane became a poster boy for the RAF during the war in particular after shooting down the well-known

German pilot Adolph Gallard. His reputation and fame spread on both sides of the Atlantic and he was interviewed by the BBC serval times.In one interview Finucane spoke with pride about his Irish blood but expressed concern at seeing it wasted when it would gush out of him after being shot. “The cockpit was awash with blood. It was not until I was feeling a bit sick and dizzy did it dawn on me that it was my blood!” he said. “It was good Dublin blood which, I thought, should not be wasted. How I even managed to land without a crack-up will never be known. The luck of the Irish


triumphed that day.”

Despite the media attention however, Finucane’s nephew, Brendan Finucane QC, said his uncle didn’t like the limelight. If Finucane had a weakness, it was for his girlfriend Jean Woolford. She lived on the same street as him, only two doors up, and was often referred to by the press and media as his ‘girl-next-door’. They became a celebrity couple of their day and were followed incessantly by reporters. Finucane would often have to climb over the back wall of his home just to meet Jean on his visits home.

Unfortunately, like many fighter-pilots, while Finucane’s life was action-packed it was also short-lived. On 15 July 1942, he was killed in action when his aircraft was shot down over the English Channel. He was just 21 when hedied.

For filmmaker Gerry Johnston, Spitfire Paddy: The Ace With The Shamrock offered an opportunity to tell a story about a great, but forgotten hero: “I wanted to tell the story about a guy that was never really heard of in Ireland because of the suppression of news by the then Irish government, which didn’t want to talk about anyone in foreign armies or anything like that. He is celebrated around the world by a lot of countries but unfortunately in Ireland he was never talked about or celebrated.”

“This is the story of a young Irish boy, born at a crossroads in Irish history, who went on to become the youngest wing commander in the history of the RAF in the 1940s. He became famous, worked his way up


and was the greatest pilot in the commonwealth, which was unheard of at the time. All the sadness and romance of the story makes it a great tale with a great hero and I wanted to tell the story of Paddy Finucane.”

Gerry Johnston only learnt about Spitfire Paddy himself a few years ago after a colleague in the aviation industry told him the story. The documentary took four years to make and was mainly self-financed with funding from the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA).

During production Johnston built a scale model of Finucane’s Spitfire with the distinctive shamrock emblazoned on the side. He has since built a full size replica of the real plane and, although it cannot fly, he plans to use it in a feature film about Finucanewhich he is currently developing.

Through interviews with those who knew him and documents such as the letters he wrote home and the newspaper clippings kept by his sister, we gain insight into a fascinating individual who was at once quiet and charismatic, religious but prepared to fight for freedom, and proud of his Irish roots while still striving to protect his adopted home.

Spitfire Paddy: The Ace with the Shamrock brings to life the tale of a young boy with a passion for flying, who would go on to become a World War II legend and one of Ireland’s forgotten heroes.

to inform the Trustees of the Pension Board of the City of Fargo of plaintiff's reinstatement and to order that the Trustees of the Pension Board grant plaintiff's application for retirement pension.
The defendants appeal from the judgment of the district court determining that the act of the defendants in striking the plaintiff's name from the civil service rolls are void and are vacated, annulled and set aside, and directing them to expunge their acts from the records of the Civil Service Commission, and further directing them to notify the Board of Trustees of the Police Pension Fund of the City of Fargo that the plaintiff was a full time paid employee of the city from July 1, 1935, through April 15, 1947.
Neither the City of Fargo nor thewas first appointed to the police force of the City of Fargo on January 17, 1935, and remained on active duty until October 19, 1946. The trial court found and the evidence sustains the finding, that during the course of plaintiff's employment and as a result of the stress and strain thereof, he became physically incapacitated for the performance of his duties as a police officer, with the result that he was compelled to quit work. His ailment was diagnosed as rheumatoid arthritis which resulted in his hospitalization for several periods. This ailment together with others that later developed resulted in complete physical incapacity from which the plaintiff has not yet recovered. The plaintiff for a time was helpless and suffered some mental inpairment and was unable to


attend to his business and personal affairs.
On April 15, 1947, the plaintiff filed with the Board of Trustees of the Pension and Retirement System of the City of Fargo, an application for a disability retirement pension in which he set forth his employment as a police officer, a history of his disability, and a statement that "Your petitioner further states that his said incapacity is permanent and that by reason thereof your said petitioner should be retired under a disability retirement pension and that said incapacity is the result of other cause than injury due to external and accidental means not arising out of and in the course of employment."
The petitioner asks that he be awarded a pension from and since October 19, 1946. The application was accompaniedby the affidavits of two practicing physicians describing *72 the nature and permanency of the applicant's disability. The plaintiff heard nothing from this petition until on or about July 3, 1947, when his attorney received a letter from the Secretary of the Board of Trustees of the Pension Fund, the important portion of which states:
"At the regular meeting of the Fargo Police Pension Board this date, the above subject case was given due consideration. The Board read a communication received from the Civil Service Commission in which it was indicated that the subject's Civil Service status became null and void 90 days from December 10th, last. The Civil Service Commission referred to Rule 5, Section 6, Article C, of the Civil Service Regulations stating they apply in this


step was to make an oral application in person and by his attorney for reinstatement at a regular meeting of the Civil Service Commission, August 6, 1947. The Commission deferred final action until an absent member and the City Attorney could be present. The Commission again considered the matter on October 9, 1947, and the chairman then wrote the attorney for the plaintiff denying reinstatement and advising him that according to Ordinance No. 638, Section 6, Paragraph C, the plaintiff automatically ceased to be an employee of the city on December 10, 1946.
On December 12, 1947, the plaintiff filed with the Commission a written petition for his reinstatement to the civil service rolls of the City of Fargo as of December 10, 1946, again setting forth his physicaland mental condition which he alleged to be such as to prevent him from making an application for leave of absence without pay at the times required by any ordinance of the City of Fargo or any civil service regulation made in connection therewith. This petition was supported by the affidavits of two physicians who say "Affiants state their opinion to be, that said John Holcomb was for some time prior to December 3, 1946, and has been since said date, and will continue to be for an indefinite period of time in the future, completely incapacited physically and mentally for the transaction of his personal affairs and business, and further, by reason thereof it is of the further opinion of affiants that said John Holcomb is permanently


disabled for the performance of any gainful occupation, and that said incapacity is the result of other causes than injury due to external and accidental means not arising out of and in the course of his employment as a police officer of the City of Fargo, North Dakota."
The plaintiff seeks the mandate of this court directing the members of the Civil Service Commission to reinstate him upon the civil service rolls. In order to prevail the plaintiff must show that he has a clear legal right to such reinstatement arising from a breach of official duty, and that unless he is granted relief he will suffer irreparable injury for which he has no other speedy and adequate remedy. We need not discuss the availability or adequacy of otherservice rolls for purposes of employment. In fact, he contends and his evidence shows that he is unemployable. It appears that his application for reinstatement to civil service status results from his belief that reinstatement is a necessary step to his successful application for a pension. The City Attorney has so advised and that advice has been acquiesced in by his own counsel. It is clear from this record that unless the presence of the plaintiff's name on the civil service rolls is a condition precedent to his right to apply for a pension he can gain nothing by restoration to the rolls and is entitled to no relief in this action.
We now examine the ordinances of the City of Fargo and pertinent statutes. With reference to civil


application and presentation of an adequate reason for failure to return, the employee may be placed on an appropriate re-employment list."
The plaintiff made no application for leave without pay. In fact, he made no application for leave whatsoever. After he ceased to perform his duty on October 19, 1946, the Civil Service Commission credited him with accumulative sick leave which expired December 10, 1946, and apparently continued to carry his name on the civil service rolls for an additional ninety days, although no leave of absence without pay was applied for, as provided by that portion of Ordinance No. 686 above quoted. At the end of this ninety day period he was considered as separated from the service as provided by the ordinance and his name was deletedmentally or physically to perform his duties, nor his dependents, shall be entitled to receive benefits under this chapter because of such disability unless such member shall have been on active duty with the department for a period of at least ten years prior to such disability unless such mental or physical impairment was received in the line of duty and permanently disabled such member. The question of disability shall be determined by the board of trustees upon the concurring report of at least two out of three physicians designated by the board of trustees to make a complete physical examination of the member."
That the right to retirement once acquired can only be lost by conviction of a felony is specifically provided by Section 40-4515 which reads: "After


in the city service or within ninety days (90) after discontinuance of city service, or while physically or mentally incapacitated for the performance of his duty, if such incapacity has been continuous since discontinuance of city service, shall be examined by three (3) competent physicians, one of whom shall be the City Health Officer, selected by the Board of Trustees upon the Board's own motion, upon the application of the head of the department, or upon the application of said member, or a person acting in his behalf, stating that said member is physically or mentally incapacitated for the performance of duty and ought to be retired, provided he shall be credited with ten or more years of continuous city service, or shall have become physically or mentallyincapacitated at the time of the trial. It is clear that if he became entitled to a pension that right accrued when he was compelled by his physical disability to cease the performance of his duties as a police officer of the City of Fargo. The neat question is whether he can assert that right after his name has been deleted from the civil service rolls and remains unrestored. Counsel for both parties reason that only members of the Pension Fund or members of the Police Department are *75 entitled to be awarded a pension, and that membership ceases with deletion from the civil service rolls. They point to the use of the word "member" in the statutes and the ordinance. Counsel for plaintiff contends that as used


his physical or mental incapacity has been continuous since he left the service of the city. If it be conceded that the use of the word "member" creates an ambiguity under the ordinance with respect to plaintiff's right to apply for a pension, that ambiguity is dispelled by reference to the statute pursuant to which the ordinance was enacted. Upon this point Section 40-4515, RCND 1943, is conclusive under the facts disclosed by this record since it provides that a right to retirement once acquired shall not be lost or forfeited by discharge or for any other reason except conviction of a felony. The whole theory of plaintiff's case is that he became entitled to a pension when his disability forced him to cease active duty on October19, 1946. He was then a member of both the Police Department and the Pension Fund and continued to be such at least until his sick leave expired on December 10, 1946. If such right did in fact exist it is protected by the provisions of Section 40-4515, RCND 1943. Thus we reach the conclusion that whether or not the plaintiff's name appears on the civil service rolls of the City of Fargo, in no manner affects his right to apply for or receive a pension under the provisions of Ordinance 676. He has failed to show injury resulting from the deletion of his name from the civil service rolls which would entitle him to a mandatory injunction. The judgment appealed from is reversed.

One of the actors who played a dancing hamster in those infectious Kia car commercials has been charged with fraud for allegedly working — including shooting at least one of the ads — while collecting state disability payments.

Leroy Barnes, 27, of Los Angeles also worked as a backup dancer for pop stars Madonna, Kelly Rowland and Chris Brown while collecting state workers’ compensation benefits, said Nancy Kincaid, spokeswoman for the California Department of Insurance.

Barnes claimed he was struck and injured by a falling piece of ceiling in June 2010 while dancing for a theatrical production company, Kincaid said. He collected $51,000 in workers’ compensation benefits from September 2010 to September 2011, according to investigators for the department of insurance.

True that it influences but is not the main cause of this rising, but the runaway increase of consumption in industrialized countries. Recall that China, with a population that quadruples the USA, not more than 8% of the world demand for oil while that in the United States exceeded 25% and 18% represents the European Union.

From Coffee Stand to Bowling Alley: Retracing Steps of Doctor Who Tested Positive for Ebola Dr. Craig Spencer was placed in isolation, with three contacts under quarantine.

 -- Officials are retracing the steps an Ebola-infected doctor, investigating a number of sites including a bowling alley, restaurant and coffee stand in an effort to stop the deadly virus from spreading further.

Dr. Craig Allen Spencer, 33, was placed in isolation at Bellevue Hospital on Thursday after reporting a fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. He had been treating Ebola patients in Guinea -- one of the West African countries battling an outbreak of the deadly virus -- for Doctors Without Borders, officials said.

Here is a timeline of Spencer's activities.

Oct. 12: Spencer treated his last Ebola patient, according to New York City HealthCommissioner Dr. Mary Bassett.

Oct. 14: Spencer left Guinea en route to JFK Airport via Brussels, Belgium.

Oct. 17: Spencer arrived at JFK Airport.

Tuesday: Spencer begins experiencing symptoms of fatigue, though he does not have a fever. He visited the Blue Bottle coffee stand at the popular tourist destination High Line Park in Manhattan.

He then visited a nearby restaurant called The Meatball shop. Basset said out of an abundance of caution they are now retracting Spencer's steps since this day. On Friday a sign was taped to the restaurant’s door explaining they were closed for lunch, but would soon reopen. Health officials said the Blue Bottle coffee stand was reopened after city health officials investigated to ensure there was no danger to the public.

Wednesday: Spencer left his apartment in northern


Manhattan and went on a 3-mile run in Riverside Park on Manhattan's west side. After the run, Spencer traveled to Brooklyn to visit The Gutter bowling alley in the Williamsburg neighborhood.

During this time officials said Spencer took the A, L and 1 subway trains. Spencer took his temperature at some point in the evening, but did not have a measurable temperature, according to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

The Gutter was closed Thursday "out of an abundance of caution," Bassett said, but it was cleared by city health officials to reopen today.

Thursday: Between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m., Spencer took his temperature and found he had a low-grade temperature of 100.3. He called Doctors Without Borders, who in turn alerted emergency officials. A specially designated ambulance wasdispatched to pick up Spencer. He was taken with a police escort to Bellevue Hospital.

Officials have also identified four people that Spencer had close contact with -- his fiancée, two friends and an Uber driver, according to Bassett. His fiancée, identified by a family friend as Morgan Dixon, is under quarantine at Bellevue Hospital while his two friends are quarantined at home, Bassett said. None of the people under quarantine are showing Ebola symptoms. The Uber driver isn't considered to be at risk for contracting the virus.

Spencer's apartment was sealed off after it was cleared. Since he tested positive, a team will decontaminate his apartment in the Harlem section of New York, officials said.

In 1987, using ancient Mayan glyphs, Dr. Jose Arguelles created the Dreamspell calendar based on 13 Moons of 28 days. The calendar harmonizes with natural cycles of the sun, moon, earth and planets. It incorporates the 260 day count known as the Tzolk'in. The calendar has been used widely since the Harmonic Convergence August 16 - August 17, 1987.

Mayan Prophecy

The Mayan prophecies are closely linked to calendars and astronomy, and are complex, exacting and impressively accurate. The Harmonic Convergence was part of the fulfillment of the ancient Mayan prophecy of the 13 Heavens of decreasing choice and the 9 Hells of increasing doom. This event marked the opening of a gate leading to the final 25years of the Mayan Great Cycle of 13 Baktuns (BC 3113 - AD 2012). Humanity is now at the end of the ninth hell cycle, as the prophecy indicates, after which, the "Lord of the Dawn" would return. This period is described as a time not only of new thinking, but of quantum shift and a new paradigm for humanity.

More about the Maya

In 1773, Don Ramon de Ordoñez y Aguilar discovered the ruins of an ancient city, Palenque, in the remote jungles of Central America. Excavations revealed pyramids, temples and palaces. Since then, explorers, scholars and writers have worked to learn more about the mysterious inhabitants who abandoned their city in 830 AD.

Like other cultures of Mesoamerica, the Maya used a 260-day calendar, referred to as the Tzolk'in.


between earthly events and the movements of heavenly bodies and constellations.

In Classic Maya texts, certain glyphs are read as references to the soul and 'co-essences', such as animals or other natural phenomena (comets, lightning, etc.) linked and protected the individual.

What will happen on December 21, 2012?

The Maya believed their modern age, marked by the 26,000-year (360 days/yr) cycle of our solar system around the Pleiades star cluster, had begun on 12 August, 3114, BC and was to end on 21st of December, 2012 followed by regeneration of earth and a time of galactic harmony.BRAM JANSSEN and DOMINIQUE SOGUEL

ABOARD THE AQUARIUS ON THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA — The young Liberian man went through hell, but when he reached Libya he hoped that there he'd be able to make a living and get an education. Instead, he entered another hell of imprisonment, then near death at sea.

The ordeal of Laye Donzo is a cautionary story for the tens of thousands of Africans each year who take the migrant road to Libya, seeing it as the gateway to life and prosperity in Europe. Instead, for many the war-torn country has meant only torture, imprisonment, rape or death.

It also illustrates the problem for European countries trying to stop the stream of migrants to their shores. By trying to prevent them from taking the dangerous sea


journey across the Mediterranean, they are dooming the migrants to prolonged abuse in Libya at the hands of authorities and the country's many militias, rights groups warn.

Donzo was among dozens of Italy-bound, would-be migrants rescued off the coast of Libya on June 23 by the Aquarius, a boat chartered by the charity Doctors Without Borders and the rescue group SOS Mediterranee.

On that day, the Aquarius rescued two boats, one of them after nightfall when the captain happened to spy it in the spotlight just as he was giving up the search. Then it took on hundreds more from an Italian navy ship so it could deliver them to shore while the navy vessel continued the search.

So as it headed back to Sicily, the Aquarius was swelling with morethan 650 migrants, well over its official capacity of 400. The exhausted migrants — men, women and young children — crowded on the ship's decks and in the halls, wearing white overalls distributed by the aid group and wrapping themselves in gray blankets.

After the initial shock from days on open water subsided, the tales of trauma and torture they endured in Libya poured out.

Donzo and his family had fled the civil war in his homeland Liberia to neighboring Sierra Leone. There, many in his family died in an Ebola outbreak. So Donzo made his way to Libya, where he did various jobs, mostly construction.

Early this year, he was detained by armed men at a checkpoint.

He spent the next five months imprisoned in a house with hundreds of other


Africans, eating a single meal every three days. He's not even sure who detained him. In lawless Libya, the lines between criminal gangs, militias and the security forces of rival governments are often blurry.

"They beat you like animals," he said. "As long as you're in prison they would beat you. I don't know how many times they beat me. They beat everyone." He showed scars running along his back, legs and arms from being bound and hit with rubber tubes.

Then one day they blindfolded him, took him to the coast and forced him into a boat. He has no idea why.

After the fall of Moammar Gadhafi in 2011, Libya was plunged into chaos, with rebel groups evolving into militias loosely aligned with various competing governments or operating ontheir own and carving out fiefdoms around the country. The collapse of state control and enforcement of borders proved a draw for migrants. Some militias use smuggling as a revenue source.

But the chaos has also made Africans vulnerable to abuse, whether they are working in Libya or seeking to head on to Europe. Armed groups often detain Africans, ostensibly claiming to be enforcing the laws but really just to extort money or labor. Various factions run detention centers largely on their own without answering to central authorities.

On the Aquarius, Baba Ali, from Mali, said he was detained by local fighters in the town of Bani Walid, east of Tripoli. He was held captive in a factory-turned-prison along with 1,500 other Africans. He sat down and hugged his knees


to show how tightly they were squeezed in.

"It was packed," he said. "We couldn't sleep, we had to sleep sitting down."

Ali said he and the others were forced to work in construction and menial labor and were beaten regularly. Their captors fired in the air to intimidate them. Ali escaped during the holy month of Ramadan. Others had to pay to get out.

"We were looking for a job and got kidnapped by people with police uniforms," says Mostafa Dumbia, a native of the Ivory Coast. He said he was held in a prison for six weeks. His captors only released him and piled him onto a boat after his family sent payment of $1,000.

Erna Rijnierse of Doctors Without Borders says the accounts are consistent from dozens of survivorswho passed through Libya. The scars on many survivors, including the combination of fresh and older scars, amount to evidence of "long-term torturing."

"I see a lot of bruises on places it's impossible to bruise yourself," Rijnierse told The Associated Press.

For the past year, EU naval vessels in the Mediterranean have been working to intercept smuggling boats in a program called Operation Sophia. In June, the operation was extended for another year and expanded, with the EU now training the Libyan coast guard and navy in stopping smuggling. The EU also asked NATO to get involved, a request that will be discussed at the alliance's summit in Warsaw that began Friday.

The aim is in part to save lives. In 2015, at least 3,771 would-be migrants died in the Mediterranean,


work and deputizing Libyan forces to help seal Europe's border."

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told NATO leaders meeting in Warsaw that the organization had decided to launch a new security operation in the Mediterranean, Operation Sea Guardian, which will have a broad range of missions including counterterrorism.

"We intend to work closely with the European Union's Operation Sophia in the central Mediterranean, building on our swift and effective cooperation with the EU to cut the lines of international human smuggling in the Aegean," Stoltenberg said Saturday.

The Human Rights Watch report and another issued in June by Amnesty International include accounts from dozens of migrants that document rampant torture, beatings and sexual abuse in Libya. HRW's Associate Program Director Fred Abrahams noted that Sudanese women migrants take contraceptives before reaching Libyabecause the problem has become so well-known.

A 26-year-old Ivorian woman interviewed by Human Rights Watch said she was detained in June and July 2015 at an official facility in the Libyan city of Tajoura. She spoke of being forced to give oral sex to a Libyan guard almost daily. A failed attempt to escape by a group of women only led to further sexual violence.

"Seven girls got away but they caught the rest of us," she said. "The guards stripped one of us, a Nigerian girl, and raped her in front of us in the courtyard."

On the morning of June 26, the Aquarius pulled along the Sicilian coast and into the port of Messina. The migrants are given medical checks and registered and housed in so-called 'hotspot' migration

When It’s Bad to Have Good Choices: It may not surprise you to learn that healthy, well-fed people in affluent countries are often unhappy and anxious. But it did startle Zbigniew Lipowski when he came to a full realization of this fact. He had emigrated to North America from Dublin, in 1955, and, in the mid-nineteen-sixties, was put in charge of the psychiatry practices at two Montrealsay, while waiting in line at the grocery store or sitting in traffic — out comes the mobile device. So it’s worth noting a study published last month in the journal Science, which shows how far people will go to avoid introspection. (NYT)

The Swiss control programme for Salmonella Enteritidis began at the end of 1993. All efforts are focused on the elimination of infected parent and layer flocks and on the production of S. Enteritidis-free eggs. The new Zoonosis Order and more stringent import regulations help to identify S. Enteritidis-positive parent layer and layer flocks. Other measures, such as additional voluntary monitoring of parent layer flocks, hatcheries and layer flocks, increased hygiene on poultry farms and the use of heat-treated feed, serve to prevent the spread of S. Enteritidis. An important point of concern is the elimination of S. Enteritidis from contaminated poultry farms, particularly from free-range farms. In the last two years, the number of reported infections
