Akron made a season-best 17 3-pointers in Wednesday's victory and will try to pair that kind of sharpshooting with its trademark solid defense in order to have a chance at the upset. Loren Cristian Jackson scored 25 points for the Zips, while Daniel Utomi had 20.

"I thought our guys were able to accomplish their goal, but that's round one," Akron head coach John Groce said. "Thursday is a totally different game (against Buffalo) and obviously we are playing a great, great team, well coached, older players, good players and very good offensively and defensively."

Buffalo won both meetings against Akron during the MAC schedule. The Bulls won 76-70 at Akron on Feb. 12 and repeated the same result two weeks later with a 77-64Monday, May 29, 2017

New Delhi: Two men including a wheelchair- bound senior citizen have been arrested by the customs for allegedly trying to smuggle into the country gold valued at around Rs 93 lakh at the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) airport here.
One of the accused in the case is a 63-year-old man who used the wheelchair to dodge the customs authority.
Acting on intelligence, the duo were intercepted after their arrival from Dubai on Saturday.
"Out of the two, the gold was recovered from one passenger who had concealed it in the specially designed pocket of his shorts worn under the trouser. He had crossed the green-channel on wheelchair," said Govind Garg, Deputy Commissioner of customs at the IGI airport.

[SF Signal]BETHLEHEM, West Bank -- Thousands of pilgrims and tourists from around the world together with local Christians gathered in the biblical town of Bethlehem to celebrate Christmas Eve in the traditional birthplace of Jesus, with spirits lifted by a slowdown in recent violence and cool, clear weather.

Security was tight in Bethlehem after recent deadly attacks on Christian targets in neighboring Egypt and Jordan by Islamic extremists.

Yet the faithful braved the chilly weather outside the town’s Manger Square as traditional Christmas songs like “Jingle Bells” played in Arabic over loudspeakers and scout groups paraded with bagpipes and sang carols. Elated tourists and local Christians alike wandered around the square illuminated by festive red and golden lights and a large Christmas tree, visiting souvenir shops and restaurants.

Starting in 2004, radicalized youths flocked there from my native country of Mauritania, as well as from Algeria, Niger, Morocco, Nigeria and Saudi Arabia.

MONTREAL — After the closure of his polarizing show featuring white actors as black slaves, the renowned Quebec theater director Robert Lepage is facing a new backlash over the failure to cast Canadian Indigenous people in a coming production chronicling their historic suffering.

In recent weeks, the Canadian theater world has been embroiled in a vociferous debate over cultural appropriation after “Slav,” an odyssey about black slave music by Mr. LePage and starring the singer Betty Bonifassi, was shuttered at the Montreal International Jazz Festival. The closure this month followed an outcry that having a majority white cast portraying black slaves was insensitive and minimized black suffering.

The Plaintiff has 26 vehicles that are assigned to employees to use in the course of business to reach job sites. The vehicles are garaged at the employee?s homes and are rarely driven to Waterbury. Taxes are being paid to the jurisdiction where the employee and the vehicle reside. The City of Waterbury claimed the vehicles are subject to tax in Waterbury because the Corporations principal place of business is in Waterbury.

A study from Pew found that 6% of online adults visit the site

The site is most popular with men between the ages of 18 and 29

Sprawling online bulletin board Reddit is especially popular with young men, according to a new study. Six percent of all adults on the Internet use Reddit, and it is most popular with men between 18 and 29 -- 15% of whom frequent the site.

The survey was conducted by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project , an ongoing effort to study the how Americans' use of the Internet is evolving and the impact it has on their lives.

In a telephone survey of 2,252 adults, Pew found that


men were twice as likely as women to use Reddit and that the site's popularly dropped significantly with the 50-and-older age group.

On the social news site and meme factory, people share links, photos and original content in themed sections, called subreddits. The posts are then voted up or down by the community. The 5,360 active subreddits cover a wide range of topics, including politics, corgis, Starcraft, conspiracy theories and parenting.

Recent news events have pushed the site into the spotlight.

Redditors helped uncover pieces of Aurora, Colorado, shooter James Holmes' online identity. Its boards are being used to organize protests against NSA privacy violations for the Fourth of July. And after the Boston Marathon bombings, members of the community attempted to do amateur investigating using public photos from the scene.

MultipleComposite rules shinty–hurling (Irish: Rialacha chomhréiteach sinteag-iomáint)—sometimes known simply as shinty–hurling—is a hybrid sport which was developed to facilitate international matches between shinty players and hurling players.

Shinty–hurling is one of few team sports in the world without any dedicated clubs or leagues. It is currently played by both men's and women's teams only in tournaments or once-off internationals. The women's form of the game is called shinty/camogie.

Ireland are the leading team in the sport, having won six of the past seven international series titles against Scotland.

Contents

The rules of the composite sport are designed to allow for neither side to gain an advantage, eliminating or imposing certain restrictions. The goals are those used in hurling, with 3 points for a goal (in the net under the crossbar) and 1


point for a shot over the crossbar. A stationary ball taken straight from the ground and shot over the crossbar scores 2 points. For the 2012 International Series, a goal became worth 5 points in an effort to increase the number of goals. This was rule was abandoned for the 2013 series, in favour of the traditional model of 3 points for a goal.

Players may not catch the ball unless they are the goalkeeper (or a defender on the line for a penalty) and this must be released within three steps. Players may not kick the ball, but can drag the ball with their foot.

Although there is a statutory size for the ball to be used in the games, there is often a custom of using a sliotarin one half and a shinty ball in the other. Each half lasts 35 minutes.

However, universities in both countries kept the link going after the war and this led to a resumption of international fixtures between the two codes in the 1970s.

After a long run of Irish successes, Scotland won four fixtures in a row from 2005 until Ireland reclaimed the title in 2009. Scotland's successes have been marred by a lack of interest from an Irish perspective. Unlike the international rules football tests between Australia and Ireland, few players from the top flight counties participate in the event—though in recent times this trend has bucked and more higher ranked Irish players have represented their nation.

2007 also saw the use of compromise rules as a way of developing


the Gaelic languages in Ireland and Scotland by the Columba Initiative. A team called Alba, made up of Scottish Gaelic speakers, played Míchael Breathnach CLG, from Inverin, Galway. The project was repeated in 2008.[4] The Gaelic speakers international was played for a third time in 2010 in Portree in the Isle of Skye on 13 February 2010.

There are also Scottish/Irish women's and under-21s sides which have competed against one another.

An international series for men, women and under 21s is played annually, with test matches rotating between venues in Scotland and Ireland. Ireland are the leading team in the series, having won 9 of 16 senior men's test matches. Camogie-Shinty is the women's version of the game.Related top topics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A title sequence is the method by which
cinematic films or television
programs present their title, key production and cast members, or both, utilizing conceptual
visuals and sound. It usually follows but should not be confused
with the opening
credits, which are generally nothing more than a series of
superimposed text.

Contents

History

Since the invention of the cinematograph, simple title cards were
used to top and tail silent film presentations in order to identify
both the film and the production company involved, and to act as a
signal that the film had started and then finished. In silent
cinema title cards were used throughout to convey dialogue and plot
and it is in some of these early short films that we see the first
examples of title sequences themselves, being quite literally a
series of title cards


shown at the beginning of a film. The arrival
of sound did little to alter the convention except that the
sequence was usually accompanied by a musical prelude.

This remained the convention for many years until the advent of
television forced the major film studios to invest in developing
cinema in order to win back a diminishing audience. The "cast of
thousands" epics shot on various patent widescreen formats were a direct response to
television's successful invasion of the leisure marketplace. Part
of cinema's new prestigious and expansive quality were orchestral
musical preludes before the curtains opened and long title
sequences — all designed to convey a sense of gravitas it was hoped
television would be unable to compete with. As cinema's title
sequences grew longer we begin to see the involvement of graphic
design luminaries such as Saul Bass, whichdirectly influenced the
1960s television predilection for creating strong graphics-led
sequences for many shows.

Film-makers at the beginning of the 21st century have many
options open regarding title sequences. Some films superimpose opening credits
over the opening scenes, while others elect to do away with titles
entirely, instead including elaborate title sequences at the end of
the movie.

The commercial environment that television inhabits encourages a
more formatted approach and, although there are some one-off
anomalies caused by production or technical errors, the television
show without a regular identifiable title sequence of some kind is
unknown.

Movies

Since the late 1950s, film title sequences have often been a
showcase for contemporary design and illustration. The title
sequences of Saul Bass
and Maurice
Binder are among the best examples of this though they inspired
many imitators both in cinema and on television. In recent years Kyle Cooper's
celebrated title


or cast members' names. Musical accompaniment can
be either instrumental or a song and aided by the visual treatment
of the images helps to convey the tone and mood of the
programme.

In serials, because a title sequence is produced at the outset
of a series, it will usually include scenes from early episodes
already shot when the sequence was prepared. Short clips of key
characters will often climax in a freeze frame as that cast member's
name is superimposed. In and around these elements will be other
footage depicting the locale (a particular city, country, building
or fictitious location) in which the series is set and therefore
its era. A title sequence might also be used to explain the premise
of a series, traditionally utilising clips from its pilot episode.

Although a title sequence may be modified during a serieschanged
every day by including footage of that day's news with a
presenter's voice "teasing" the items. This ensures that the title
sequence appears fresh but still identifies the news programme by
its music and visual style.

List of television series whose title sequences have regular subtle
changes

Some shows have title sequences that are subtly different in
every episode (or season). Some famed title sequences with
variables include:

Current
series

American Dad – Stan picks up a
newspaper with a unique headline (seasons 1-3); Roger appears in
Stan's car wearing a different disguise (fourth season on).

Doctor
Who – For the first 26 years of its run, the Doctor
Who title sequence changed for every doctor, featuring the
actor's face from the second Doctor (Patrick Troughton) through the
seventh (Sylvester McCoy). Since its revival in
2005 the title sequence has undergone only minor changes (the actor
names, a


slightly redesigned logo from the third season onwards,
and a new arrangement of the theme introduced for the fourth
season). As of 2010, however, a completely new logo has been
created for the fifth season, the first to star Matt Smith as the
eleventh Doctor, and it is likely that the title sequence will be
similarly reworked.

TNA
Impact! and TNA Xplosion – the openings change
regularly as wrestlers are hired and fired and as championships
change hands.

Sarah Silverman
Program – Sarah introduces herself and the other
characters through a series of slides, which are different in every
episode.

Pokemon (anime) - The Japanese version has
various subtle changes throughout the opening sequences.

Past
series

Animaniacs - at the end of their theme
song, a different lyric is sung with a related clip.

8 Simple
Rules (episodes with John Ritter) – where Kerry, Cate, Bridget
and Paul open thefront door and look one at a time at a supposed
new date of Bridget's or Kerry's. The camera goes from the door to
the doormat with the show's name, then the door opens again, Rory
shows up and does something that changes between title sequences:
he looks at the camera with disdain, takes a picture of the date
with a camera, takes away the date's flowers, etc.

Charmed/Gilmore Girls
– Whenever a regular is absent from the episode, he or she is also
absent from the title sequence.

Garfield and Friends – The
series had three very different theme songs during its run, but
they all ended the same way – after the show's logo and Garfield
appears, he says a quick and often humorous message.

The Grim
Adventures of Billy & Mandy – After the opening (or
sometimes after the first


commercial break following the opening),
Mandy walks out and says something before the the episode
begins.

The
Critic – Jay answered a different phone call and was later
shown reviewing a different movie parody clip in each episode.

The Dick Van Dyke Show –
Rob (Dick Van
Dyke) entered through the front door and tripped over the ottoman. Three versions were
filmed: one in which he trips over the ottoman, one in which he
steps around it, and a rarely seen third variation in which he
avoids the ottoman but then trips on the carpet. The episode's
editors were instructed to use them randomly.

Ellen – Many episodes opened
with Ellen
DeGeneres introducing a performer who was playing the theme
song that week while she held up a sign with the name of the
show.

Frasier – The
Frasier logo changed color every season, and 20 different
animationsinvolving the logo's skyline graphic alternated throughout its
run.

Friends – The
clips of each character were excerpts of the first half or the
second half of the season. When Courtney Cox married David Arquette,
all actors added "Arquette" to their last name for one
episode.

That 70s Show – Similar to L.A. Law, the license
plate at the end of the credits signifies the year in which the
episode takes place.

Roseanne – The camera turns
360 degrees, showing the family having dinner or playing a game,
always ending with Rosanne laughing wholeheartedly. The last season
featured a montage of pictures of the cast set to lyrics sung by
John Popper of Blues Traveler.

The Cosby
Show - The 1984-92 series changed its opening credits of
the cast dancing (1985-92) while Season 1 had still images of the
Huxtables playing baseball.

Video
games

Soon after computer games began


to appear on PC's as well as
their own dedicated games units, many began using the conventions
of film and television title sequences for their introductions. In
particular, adventure games often have CGI sequences which act as a
teaser or cold open
before a music-laden title sequence that does exactly what film and
television title sequences do: prepare the viewer for the kind of
experience he/she is about to have. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
uses the the third mission of the game as a title sequence; the
player controls the perspective, though not the movement, of a
character in first-person, and various events play out around him

month, a Pegasus XL rocket built by Orbital Sciences successfully launched

The Forte satellite, weighing

Forte was originally designed

Japan's Fuji Television Network Inc.
has signed an agreement with Japan Sky Broadcasting Co. (JSkyB) that will
open Fuji's comprehensive TV programme library to Mr Murdoch's planned
digital service.

Fuji TV will purchase a 25 percent
equity in JSkyB for ¥5 billion (US$42 million), becoming an equal partner
with the other three owners, Mr Murdoch's News Corp., Softbank Corp. and
Sony Corp. Fuji TV says it will have executives on the board of JSkyB.

As reported, BSkyB has recently

Observers noted that Mr Murdoch's latest Japanese move is yet another effort
to rein an ill-advised move into digital satellitethe officials. Three incidents changed the game – Massimo Gobbi's dismissal, Miroslav Klose not getting sent off and the offside goal." Given that Klose should not have been on the pitch when he scored the winner from a ludicrously offside position – like his team-mate Mark van Bommel the German was allowed to get away with a studs-up challenge far worse than the shoulder barge for which Gobbi was sent off – it is tempting to conclude that what actually affected the result more than any other factor was the identity of the official. It turns out the worst referee Guus Hiddink has ever seen has not been packed off to officiate under-13s games in his native Norway, as witnesses of last season's debacle at Stamford Bridge were

Who was it again who said you get a better standard of refereeing in Europe? Oh yes, that short-tempered bloke at Old Trafford, shortly before he changed his mind when Manchester United were beaten at home by Besiktas. "Deary, deary me," was how Sir Alex Ferguson reacted to Ovrebo's latest clanger. He might have taken the words right out of Wenger's mouth, for Arsenal certainly did not see refereeing of the required standard at Porto, when they, too, were undermined by a Scandinavian official with previous.

When not in downright denial – the Uefa website's otherwise extensive coverage of the week's action makes no special mention of Ovrebo or Hansson and contains no hint of outrageously poor decisions – the authorities are content to back their referees and let them gain experience on the job. As a policy this is admirable and painful at the same time, and the knowledge that some of the biggest games in the European calendar are at

Christian Board Games

If you have spent much time in Christian bookstores, you may have come across board games like Ungame, Bible Mad Gab Board Game or Bible Pictionary. Most Christian board games have been made for protestant churches.

However, Catholics have also shown an interest in Christian board games and recently Sister María Granados, a nun in Spain, designed the game La Alegría de la Fe or The Joy of Life. According to The Local, the game is being sold in Spain and Latin America.

While the goal of these games is to help Christians learn more about the Bible and grow spiritually, board games have also been used to save lives. Here's some interesting trivia: During World War II special maps were hidden in Monopoly board games sent toThe search for wise men and women is a perpetual quest in every age — alas, often with dubious results. The search for the wise men in the Christmas narratives in the New Testament is, unfortunately, equally difficult. All Christians are familiar with the story of the three magi from the east bringing gifts to the infant Jesus, a tale that provided the prototype for giving Christmas gifts in less crassly materialistic times.

When we dig a bit deeper into the biblical Christmas narratives in search of the wise men, a number of questions arise. First, only two of the four Gospels — Matthew and Luke — contain Nativity narratives. John and Mark begin their Gospels at Jesus’ baptism and the beginning of his public ministry. Many scholars believe


aristocratic status.

The ethnicity of the wise men is also uncertain, a fact that has only served to fuel speculation. Matthew merely states they are from the “east” (2:1). A literal reading of the Persian title of “magos”/“magush” might imply that they were Zoroastrian priests, who (according to Zoroastrian scripture) were awaiting the coming of a messiah they called the “saoshyant.” Zoroastrian scripture prophesied that he would bring about the triumph of righteousness and the resurrection. On the other hand, it is quite possible that the magi were Jews living in Babylon — then a province of Persia — where many Jews were residing at the time of Christ.

In his first interview after being elected to his new role the Egyptian Catholic Patriarch has spoken out about how the Coptic Christians in the country are feeling increasingly alienated under the new Islamist rule in the nation.

Patriarch Ibrahim Ishaq of the Coptic Catholics in Egypt was elected by the Catholic Synod following the resignation of Patriarch Antonious Naguib. In his first interview since that appointment he discussed a number of important issues the country is currently facing, especially the problems facing Copts.

"Copts, like others, feel alienated under the rule of the Islamists, and I hope they do not migrate so that the society does not lose an important component," H.B Patriarch Ishaq said.

Freud, The Birthing Body, and Modern Life.
Freud early on had an astute sense of the psychic impact of the bodily power of females' biological sex and childbearing potential. His early appreciation of the biological femaleness of a body, however, became gradually obscured after 1908, distorted by an exaggerated male view that was challenged in the 1920s and 1930s but then became fixed in stone by his followers. This strange but hegemonic view was once again challenged, especially in the U.S., in the 1970s. In spite of sporadic efforts after that, however, the impact of the female body qua female, in analysis and for the mind's functioning, has never been acknowledged in general in psychoanalytic thought (except as marked as an infantile archaic fantasy or sequestered into a specialCounty, Pennsylvania, Court of Common Pleas, alleging that Panorea Matgouranis's attorney, defendant William J.

The plaintiffs, in their Complaint, anticipated that the defendants would assert a defense of absolute privilege under Pennsylvania law. The plaintiffs, therefore, asserted that the exercise of such privilege would violate their first amendment rights under the United States Constitution.

The human endometrium undergoes to a complex series of proliferative and secretory changes in each menstrual cycle and displays only a short period of receptivity, known as the "window of implantation", necessary for the implantation of the blastocyst in the uterus. The implantation process occurs in a sequential manner, leading to the establishment of pregnancy. Morphofunctional changes during this period may prevent or hinder the implantation. For this reason, the study of the endometrium at this stage is important for the improvement of therapies that may interfere with the mechanisms involved in maternal-embryonic interaction. Several gynecological disorders, including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), are associated with decreased fertility and uterine receptivity. In spite of recent advances in assisted

For businesses in the U.S., Britain has long been a stable and secure marketplace. Uncertainty over how a so-called Brexit would work, how global markets would react, how trade relations with the EU would function and whether London would remain a global financial capital has increasingly drawn the attention of American executives in recent weeks.

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon warned his company could cut as many as 4,000 jobs in Britain in the event of a Brexit because its operations there might not be able to serve the European market in the same way they have in the past. Automakers BMW, General Motors, Jaguar Land Rover and Toyota Motor all warned against

Still, bums on seats count. The former Bath, Leicester and US Eagles No8 Dan Lyle, now director of the promoter, AEG Rugby, said: “We’ve shifted another couple thousand of tickets in the last couple of days. It’s partly a timing thing: week three of the Premiership, a week after kids go back to school both in the UK and the US. In year two we’ll learn the lessons from this.”

Irish-Sarries was a hard sell too. In its favour it tookplace in March, away from the NFL and college football, and it was close to New York, a bigger tourist draw. More importantly, little American rugby was played that day. In the crowd at the Red Bull Arena, as when 22,000 watched USA v Ireland in June, many wore the colours of school, college or club.

Rugby in the US is largely participatory, played in autumn and spring. On Saturday, from the Potomac Exiles in Maryland to Mystic River in Massachusetts, many who might have bought Premiership tickets will play their own games instead.

Shelley Niro & ElizaBeth Hill

The Mellon Indigenous Arts Initiative and The Fralin Museum of Art will be hosting Indigenous artists Shelley Niro and ElizaBeth Hill at the University of Virginia from September 20th to October 5th. During their residency period, Hill and Niro will present their art forms to the University and Charlottesville communities, teach masterclasses for UVA students in Art, History, and American Studies, and engage with the Pamunkey and Monacan Nations.

Shelley Niro (Six Nations Reserve, Bay of Quinte Kanien’kehaka Mohawk Nation, Turtle Clan) is a multimedia artist who works in photography, painting, sculpture, poetry, film, and beadwork. Niro uses her work to disrupt stereotypical representations of Native people as “vanishing,” to address the objectification of Native women, to explore the family and community connections between ancestraltraditions and contemporary realities of indigenous lived experiences, and to honor, reflect upon, and critique historical and contemporary treaty, sovereignty, and land issues. She recently received two prestigious Canadian art awards, the 2017 Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts and the Scotiabank Photography Award.

ElizaBeth Hill (Mohawk) is a singer-songwriter whose music reflects both her Native background and her past experience living and working in Nashville, Tennessee. Hill writes lyrics in both English and Mohawk and composes music for dance, theatre, and film. She was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2005 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards, Best Female Artist and Best Producer at the 2000 Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards, and Best Music Aboriginal Canada at the 2000 Canadian JUNO Awards.

The public program of events for


their visit includes a concert by ElizaBeth Hill at The Fralin Museum of Art on Thursday, September 21st at 5:30pm and an artist talk by Shelley Niro on Thursday, September 28th at 6pm in Campbell Hall, room 153.

Kissed by Lightning, a film directed by Shelley Niro with music by ElizaBeth Hill, will be screened in Newcomb Theatre at the University of Virginia on Tuesday, September 26th at 5:30pm. The screening, which is free and open to the public, will be followed by a Q&A session with the artists, moderated by Karenne Wood, director of the Virginia Indian Program of the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities. This event is supported by an Arts Enhancement Grant from the Office of the Provost & the Vice Provost for the Arts.

This programis made possible with support from the Andrew W.

ideas are copied, and workers migrate from failing companies to the new and old ones where the new rules are working well. The same goes for countries. Starting about 1970, China took some of the effective rules of Hong Kong (which was managed from afar by England) and set up four special economic zones along the coast operating as imitation Hong Kongs. They worked so well that China rolled out the scheme for the whole country, and its Gross Domestic Product took off. “Hong Kong was the most successful economic development program in history.”

Romer suggests that we rethink sovereignty (respect borders, but maybe import administrative control); rethink citizenship (support residency, but maybe import voice in political affairs); and rethink scale (instead of focusing on nations, focus on cities—oncity states like Hong Kong and Singapore.)

Paul Romer proposes that developing countries could invite instant Hong Kongs—new cities in new locations run by experienced governments such as Canada or Finland. They would enrich the country where they are built as special economic zones while also rewarding the distant government that makes the investment of building the new city state and installing a set of fair and productive rules. Over time, as with Hong Kong, the new city is turned over to the host country.

The idea is getting some traction in the developing world. This summer Romer is going public with a Bridge Cities Institute website for further exploration and eventual application of the idea.

One miracle of cities is that they sometimes renew themselves brilliantly. This could be a


the customs, the wants, and the will of mankind.

Give me an instance in which the entrepreneur of any industry consults the laws of the moral world?

He consults them when he informs himself of the manners, the wants, and the legislation of men, which may either enable him to procure the materials for his industry, or furnish him with consumers of his products. Some of these laws belong to the nature of man, others to the manners of the country and age in which we live. He who takes into his calculation human vanity, runs little risk of deceiving himself. A hatter who carries on, in a proper manner, his business among us has a lucrative occupation. He would have gained nothing among the ancients, who did not wearhats.

Who are those who study the laws of the physical world?

Those who cultivate the physical and mathematical sciences: such as chemists, naturalists, geometricians, etc.

Who are those who study the laws of the moral world?

Those who inform themselves of morals, politics, history, geography, travels, etc.

I understand: the learned serve as guides to the industrious?

Just so: and the work of the one, as well as the other, is productive, since they concur in creating products. It is only in civilized and enlightened countries that we see a very great and productive industry. It is there only that we find that great mass of acquired knowledge, of which the industrious, the agriculturists, manufacturers, and merchants, avail themselves.

Are the learned, and the entrepreneurs of works of industry, the only industrious men?

No. There


moveable or immoveable. A house is a product of human industry. In works of agriculture, besides the value of the land, which may be considered as a great and admirable instrument in the hands of man, and which, on this account, makes part of his capital, the clearings, the buildings, and the enclosures, which are improvements of this grand instrument, are products of industry.

Are there not also moveable values in the capital of an agriculturist?

Yes; the implements of labor, the cattle, the seed, as well as the provisions for his family, his servants, and his animals: and even the money that is destined for the outgoings which his undertaking requires.

Tell me of what the capital of a manufacturer; a weaver, for example, consists.

It is composed of the valueof his first material, which may be either cotton, flax, wool, or silk: also of his looms, shuttles, and other implements: and, in fact, of every value which he is obliged to advance for his own maintenance as well as that of his workmen.

If the value of the capital is employed in the purchase of all these things, how is it that it is not lost?

Because the result of all these things is a ribbon or a cloth, the value of which reimburses the capital, and pays besides to the weaver the profits of his industry. In the same manner, the capital of the merchant consists principally of the value of the merchandise in which he trades, and this merchandise, augmenting in value in his hands, represents at


is a borrowed one, and he pays interest for it, he pays also in advance the profits of the capitalist who lent it to him; and he is reimbursed the whole, together with his profits, by the woolen draper, who is at last reimbursed for his advances and his profits by the sale which he makes to the consumer. Thus at the time the sale of the cloth was accomplished, the value had already been distributed among its different producers.

In thus tracing the progress of any product whatever, we shall find that its value is scattered among a crowd of producers, many of whom perhaps are ignorant of the existence of the product: so that a man that wears the coat is perhaps, without suspecting it, one ofof a year, by all the individuals of which that nation is composed.

Are incomes paid at fixed periods?

Some of them are so; some not. A landholder who lets his land, a capitalist who lends his capital, and who thus gives up to another the profits which may result from these agents of production, generally stipulate the condition of receiving the rent or interest, which forms their income, at fixed periods. The workman who lets out his industrious talent receives the wages which form his income by portions, every week or every fortnight. But the grocer, who sells sugar and coffee, receives on each ounce that he sells, a small portion of his profit, and all these united profits form his income.

Are incomes, or portions of income, always paid


utility is not attached to any merchandise where it may be preserved for a time, and exchanged again. It is a product truly immaterial, in exchange for which the physician receives a fee which constitutes his income. The industry of the physician is analogous to that of every entrepreneur of an industry. He applies to the wants of men the medical knowledge which he has collected.

What other professions found their incomes on immaterial products?

There are a great number of them. They include the most elevated as well as the most abject situations in society. The public functionaries, from the chiefs of the government down to the lowest officer, the judges and the priests, receive in exchange for their usefulness to the public, fees paid at the expense ofhas expended unproductively in the same year, to satisfy the wants of his family four thousand pounds, he will have consumed his profits; and if he takes his inventory he will find himself, at the end of the year, with a capital of twenty thousand pounds only, as he had at the beginning of the year. But if, instead of having expended unproductively for the support of his family four thousand pounds, he had only expended two thousand, unless he has hid two thousand pounds, he will find that this value of two thousand pounds, which has not been expended unproductively, will have been laid out productively, and that it will appear in his inventory in augmentation of capital under some form or other, either under that of


as in the land tax, they take a part of the revenue arising from the lands; which are valued, either after the actual rent or after the extent and fertility of the soil. Sometimes the rent of a house, the number of its doors and windows, and of the servants and horses kept by the contributor, serve as a basis for the amount of his contribution. Sometimes, his profits are valued according to the industry he carries on: from hence the impost on licenses (patents). All these contributions bear the name of direct taxes, because they are demanded, directly, of the contributor in person.

Are not all taxes demanded directly from the contributor?

They are sometimes demanded, not from the payer, but are included in the price of the merchandiseon which the impost is laid, and without the receiver knowing even the name of the contributor. For this reason they are called indirect taxes.

When and in what manner are taxes levied on merchandise?

They are sometimes levied at the instant in which they are produced, like the salt in France, or the gold and silver mines in Mexico. A portion of the value of these merchandise is levied at the moment of their extraction. Sometimes a duty is levied at the moment of their transportation from one place to another, as in the instance of import duties; and in the "Octroi," which is paid in France at the entrance of towns: sometimes at the moment of consumption, as for stamps and admissions to the theaters.

Does the amount of


own purposes these fifty pounds which the government takes from him to pay the creditor. Instead of two incomes which there were in society, that of the thousand pounds lent to government (which either had been, or might have been placed elsewhere) and the income of the funds, which had produced to the landholder the fifty pounds of contribution, which he has been compelled to pay to satisfy the creditor. In lieu of these two incomes, there remains but one, namely, the last, which is transferred from the contributor to the creditor. Why is there only one income of fifty pounds where there had been formerly two? Because there had been, beside the funds of the contributor, another fund of one thousand pounds, producing fifty pounds, which hasits riches.

The sum of the riches of society does not fall on that account. Two pairs of stockings are produced instead of one; and two pairs at three shillings are worth as much as one pair at six shillings. The income of society remains the same, for the maker gains as much on two pairs at three shillings, as he did on one pair at six shillings.

But, when the income remains the same, and the products fall, the society is really enriched. If the same fall takes place on all products at once, which is not absolutely impossible, society by obtaining all the objects of its consumption at half price, without having lost any part of its income, would really be twice as rich as before, and could

'Lower the tone' on migrant debate: Liberals

Opposition critics have called on the Conservative government to show more compassion for the plight of those on board the MV Sun Sea instead of linking the migrants to terrorism.

Liberal MP Marc Garneau said Public Safety Minister Vic Toews should "lower the tone" of the security concerns and allow the refugee application process to play out. He noted the new cases represented only two per cent of the 30,000 refugee applications Canada receives annually.

conversations,” Herpich said. “They love Portland. They liked the city, liked the vibe. They liked the idea of the fan base and the sports following in the state of Maine.”

The NAL is one of several indoor professional football leagues in North America. Based out of Atlanta, the league held its inaugural season earlier this year. Four of the eight NAL teams that played in 2017 apparently have folded. A fifth team, in Monterrey, Mexico, is not expected to play in 2018.

Portland would host one of four expansion franchises. The others would be in Trenton, New Jersey, Worcester, Massachusetts, and Greensboro, North Carolina. Coming back for a second season will be the league champion Jacksonville Sharks, runner-up Columbus (Georgia) Lions and the Lehigh Valley Steelhawks in Allentown, Pennsylvania. TheLong Island. “I think people in Portland enjoy football in general, and some tourists might enjoy it in the summer.”

Indoor professional football seems in a constant state of flux, with new leagues forming and others dissolving.

The sport was popularized by the Arena Football League, which began play in 1987 and had a regular-season network television deal with ESPN2 from 1995-99. In its 10th season, in 1996, it had 15 teams and a total attendance of over a million fans, but the AFL is now down to six teams. Five are in major markets such as Cleveland, Philadelphia and Baltimore, where the games are played in facilities designed to host NBA and NHL teams, making it a difficult economic model to maintain.

TALES FROM INAUGURAL SEASON

Newer leagues, like the NAL,


appear to be shifting away from large arenas to midsized facilities. Last year the league played regular-season games from late March to mid-June. Some NAL teams played 12 games, while other clubs played fewer. The now-defunct Dayton, Ohio, team played only seven games. The team was actually based out of Atlanta and played all seven games on the road, losing all of them – including by scores of 94-6, 68-6 and 77-0.

“Most of the guys probably couldn’t find Dayton on an Ohio map,” kicker Jim Terry, a veteran of 16 indoor football league seasons and eight different leagues, told the Florida Times-Union in June. “A lot of games are like the Harlem Globetrotters against the Washington Generals.”

Terry played one game with Dayton before a rib injury ended hisgame behind the play of league MVP and former University of Maine quarterback Warren Smith Jr. A veteran of several indoor leagues, Smith quarterbacked Maine to the NCAA playoffs in 2011, setting a school passing yardage record as a senior.

Several players have gone from indoor football leagues to the NFL, most notably Kurt Warner, a two-time NFL MVP who quarterbacked both the St. Louis Rams and the Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2017. Warner played in the Arena Football League for the Iowa Barnstormers. The AFL paid its players $900 per game during the 2017 season, according to news reports.

November can be a stormy month in the Great Lakes region, as it was again in 2015. Toward the middle of the month, a low-pressure system and cold front swept up from the Central Plains and across the lakes. In Detroit, media outlets reported wind gusts as high as 52 miles (84 kilometers) per hour that left 13,000 residents without power. On Lake Erie, gale force winds halted shipping.

Winds were not the only reason ships sought safe anchorage. The high winds created a seiche—a large standing wave that occurs when strong winds and a quick change in atmospheric pressure push water from one end of a body of water to the other, according to NOAA. Seiches occur periodically on Lake Erie. In 1844, a 22-foot seiche breached aDES MOINES, Iowa – Lipscomb freshman Madi Talbert finished a long and successful track season Friday afternoon with a third-place finish in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the U.S.A. Junior Nationals at Drake University.

Talbert crossed the finish line in a time of 10:27.80, the second-fastest time of her career. Brianna Nerud of Syracuse University was first in the field of eight runners with a time of10:15.67.

"Madi ran well,” Lipscomb track and field coach Bill Taylor said. “It was hard to know what to expect coming off a week of rest and a bit more than a week of five-to-six-mile easy runs.

"I think that caught up with her in the last 1000 meters. I also think she has some tactical awareness things she can get better at. And that is


one of the main reasons she is here after a very long freshman season...to learn, to fix things, to get used to the big meet, and to get better."

Tucker Peabody is the final competitor for the Bisons in the nationals. He will be competing Saturday in the U.S.A. Senior Nationals.

Peabody will compete in the first round in the 200 meters. He is the first Lipscomb athlete ever to qualify for the U.S.A. Senior Championships and will be racing Olympians. If he qualifies through the first round, he will race on Sunday at 2:05p.m.cabinet in a meeting tomorrow before a "meaningful" vote in the House of Commons.

Former foreign secretary Mr Johnson said he would vote against the deal, claiming it was "vassal state stuff", and urged the cabinet to "chuck it out".

He said he expected the deal to be "pretty much" what had been agreed a few weeks ago.

"We are going to stay in the customs union on this deal, we are going to stay effectively in large parts of the single market and that means it's vassal state stuff," he told the BBC.

He added: "For the first time in a thousand years, this place, this parliament, will not have a say over the laws that govern this country. It is a quite incredible state of affairs."

"White flags have gone up all over Whitehall. It is a betrayal of the Union," he told the BBC.

"If what we have heard is true, this fails to meet the Conservative Party manifesto and it fails to meet many of the commitments that the prime minister makes.

"It would keep us in the customs union and de facto the single market. This is the vassal state.

On the 25th January 2013 the enthusiasts of literature related to Positive Psychology at work had the opportunity to see in action the energy of the Galician author Belén Varela.Her book "A Rebelião das Moscas" (The Rebellion of the Flies), published in Portugal by Sinais de Fogo, was presented in the FNAC Mar Shopping at the invitation of Artur Silva, who once again opened the doors for an evening of culture, optimism and good stories.

Edite Amorim of THINKING-BIG offered some of her energy presenting the book and its author who captured the interest of her attentive audience in the FNAC.A great and intense evening, for sure!which had been engaged as partners in the restaurant business for a number of years. The Badgerow Building is peculiarly shaped in what witnesses described as a reverse "L". The part designated as the tower is twelve stories in height. Extending to the west at the base of the building was a two-story extension, which is referred to in the record as the annex. Except for incidental use of the first floor of the tower, the plaintiffs operated a restaurant known as The Backroom Restaurant exclusively in the annex.
The plaintiffs first leased the annex from defendants in April of 1972. It was already equipped as a restaurant. It soon became apparent the restaurant was too small to operate profitably. The accommodations were enlarged, and on December 1, 1972,


plaintiffs entered into a new lease with defendants for a term of five years with an option to renew for an additional five years. Rent was to be renegotiated after November 30, 1975.
The annex part of The Badgerow Building (but not the tower) had been marked for acquisition by the city of Sioux City (hereafter called City) as part of its urban renewal program, a fact known to the defendants but not to the plaintiffs when the 1972 leases were entered into.
In March of 1973 the City notified the parties of its intention to acquire the two-story annex for urban renewal purposes. Thereafter plaintiffs and defendants had several discussions concerning other possible locations in The Badgerow Building for The Backroom Restaurant. Nothing came of these meetings.
On June 5,1973, defendants conveyed the annex to the City by warranty deed. Because the City was not then ready to go forward with the urban renewal, it leased the annex back to defendants on a month-to-month basis for $100 per month. This arrangement continued until June 13, 1976, and during that time plaintiffs continued to operate the restaurant on a month-to-month basis, paying the same rent as under the December 1, 1972, lease. The City ultimately took possession of the annex on July 12, 1976. The Backroom Restaurant was then forced to close its doors.

for operation of The Backroom Restaurant.
The petition was in three counts. The first count alleged the parties entered into a "second" contract on June 26, 1973, partly written and partly oral. The written portion was the cancellation already referred to. The oral part consisted of a promise to provide other and comparable space on the first floor of The Badgerow Building for the restaurant when the City took possession of the annex. It is claimed this was to be on the same terms and conditionsexcept for locationas contained in the December 1, 1972, lease. The jury found for plaintiffs on this count and returned a verdict for $25,000.
The second count was based on fraud and misrepresentation. This was submitted to the jury and resulted in a verdict for(upon which the case is pending) in three alternative counts, asking damages for both plaintiffs in each count. Count one is based, primarily, upon the violation of an ordinance of the city of St. Louis, known as the "rat ordinance." "Alternative" count two is based upon "common law negligence," the maintenance of a dangerous nuisance, "a harborage" for rats. "Alternative" count three is based on "fraudulent breach of contract" in the rental of the premises to the mother and next friend.
The defendants filed a motion to dismiss each count of the amended petition on the ground that "said counts fail to state facts sufficient to constitute causes of action against defendants." On March 3, 1952, the court ordered "that said motion be sustained as to Count One, and

He has long harbored ambitions to run Turner. In 2013, he was promoted to president of the unit, which houses big cable networks like TNT, TBS, Cartoon Network and CNN.

ISIS Controls Northern Cities, But Local Forces Run Them

In cities now under the control of ISIS militants, Iraqi civilians are stuck in the middle of a violent confrontation between the government and insurgents. Ghaith Abdul-Ahad is Middle East correspondent for The Guardian. And he's been traveling north of Baghdad. He says even though ISIS has military control of Northern Iraqi cities, local Sunni groups are actually running day-to-day life there.

GHAITH ABDUL-AHAD: Once they take over a town, a village like, say, Mosul or Tikrit, other forces come to fill the gap - local tribesmen, other insurgents groups, Baathi army officers. At the moment, you see ISIS trying to take a backseat. They haven't yet imposed their extreme form of rule on a town.

RATH: So - so then whoactually and real. They point out the sectarian police units, corrupt army. They've been treated really like second-class citizens for the past few years.

So for them, they see this Sunni uprising as the Sunni liberation. But many of the Sunni commanders, many of the Sunni political leaders, the people who have vision of the city, they will point and say this is a Sunni tragedy. This is a mistake on the Sunnis because the Sunnis will pay the highest price for this. Eventually, it's the Sunni who will have to deal with the wrath of ISIS, and the next civil war - after this initial fighting - it will be a Sunni-Sunni war.

RATH: Ghaith, you're - you're an Iraqi yourself, and you've done a lot of reporting among

Edge of Tomorrow is one of those movies where if you haven’t seen it, someone who has will list off at least a dozen reasons why you should. Fans of the scifi thriller have been clamoring for a sequel since 2014, along with star Tom Cruise and director Doug Liman. While things are still up in the air, the movie’s definitely moving forward, with an official title and confirmed return of co-star Emily Blunt.

In an interview with Collider, Liman confirmed that the new movie will be called Live Die Repeat and Repeat, a nod to the tagline and later title that was given to the film for digital and home release, Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow. Blunt is on board to reprise her role as

This movement away from the corporate or central site, and the benefit gained by avoiding a physical commute appears to be a trend which is here to stay. In all likelihood, this trend will continue given the transient nature by which most modern workers operate.
Remotely situated workers require transparent connectivity not only to the corporate office but also to the office's local area network (LAN). As corporations move away from mainframe based systems to personal computer (PC) systems linked together by LANs, the options for remote connectivity have improved. In general, PCs and LANs facilitate remote access to the computing resources of the corporate office or corporate headquarters. Remote connectivity is also made possible with thesaid.

Size Doesn’t Matter: Five years ago, the largest cruise ship in the world, Oasis of the Seas, was introduced with a 6,300-passenger capacity. With 55 ocean, river and specialty cruise ships scheduled to debut by 2020, the focus is less on size and more on unique design and amenities. Indeed, until just a few years ago, CLIA did not include river cruise lines as members, but there are now a number of such companies on its roster, including the newest member, CroisiEurope.

Though the Hungarian troops were well-equipped and well-trained, they lacked a good military leader, while reinforcements from Croatia and Transylvania did not arrive in time. They were utterly defeated, with up to 20,000 killed on the field, while Louis himself died when he fell from his horse into a bog.

Partitioning (1526–1541)
After Louis's death, the rival factions of Hungarian nobles simultaneously elected two kings, John Zápolya and Ferdinand of Habsburg. Each claimed sovereignty over the entire country but lacked sufficient forces to eliminate his rival. Zápolya, a Hungarian who was military governor of Transylvania, was recognized by Sultan Suleiman and was supported mostly by lesser nobles
