The pond started off life for model yacht racing and in the last few years has been planted up with reed beds and a few islands have been made. There are many Mallards, Moorhens and Swans on it so this must have been an attraction to our merganser.

he UPA government, on coming to power in 2004, put in place its most accomplished experts to meticulously draw up its corruption road map, which it succeeded in implementing with precision until the scams exploded in public space. Post-mortem reports of the 2G scam, the ISRO Devas deal, the Commonwealth Games fraud, to name a few, clearly establish this. I have no doubt that future historians will place the UPA in the same league as other plunderers of India, like Ghazni and the Pindaris.

Another road map uppermost in the Congress agenda was towards the political assassination of Narendra Modi, and banishing him from India's political firmament forever, using the unfortunate post Godhra riots as a handle. Congress think tanks worked overtime to draw up a comprehensive, multifaceted strategyof slander, false accusation, governmental and non-governmental disinformation, Goebellesian lies, aimed at converting falsehood into belief among the general population, opinion leaders and influential intellectuals. The lies were to be simple and crisp; they were to be repeated ad nauseam to embed them firmly as truth in the public mind, the media and internationally. Puppets were to be created and nurtured to keep the fiction of Modi's involvement in the Godhra riots alive in the courts, in the media and in the minds of the people, through any lie or deception. Now that the SIT has completed its investigation, and submitted its report to the Supreme Court, it is time the nation and the world knew about the travesty of slander and lies that has been disseminated against


Modi by the Congress through hired and unethical civil society organisations, such as Citizens for Justice and Peace headed by Teesta Setalvad, disgruntled officers like Sanjiv Bhatt, who made futile attempts to start an aggressive campaign against Modi 10 long years after the riots, and certain sections of the media. Today, the lid over the entire political conspiracy has blown, and the false testimony and machinations of Teesta Setalvad and Sanjiv Bhatt have been exposed.

Let me inform the people of a few instances of deliberate disinformation against Modi, which gained huge currency during the last 10 years, backed by the malicious hate campaign, which the SIT investigation has proved to be completely false.

1. The country was made to believe that Modi sat complacent and inert while the riotswere searing Gujarat. The evidence indicates otherwise. Immediately after the Godhra train burning, on the evening of 27 February 2002, the Gujarat Chief Minister summoned an emergency meeting of top ranking officials of the government, took steps to deploy the Rapid Action Force (RAF), State Reserve Police, local police at sensitive points. Since the army at Ahmedabad Cantonment had been called at the border in view of the attack on Parliament earlier, the Chief Minister requested the then Defence Minister telephonically on 28 February 2002 to immediately deploy army battalions to tackle the situation, which were deployed immediately.

2. The Congress, through its mouthpieces Teesta Setalvad and Sanjiv Bhatt maliciously fabricated a story, vigorously picked up by certain so called intellectuals and of course the anti national elements of


Evidence before the SIT establishes that this was pure fiction, that all rape complaints were being investigated and some convictions had already taken place. It also proved that Setalvad fabricated a false rape case in Naroda, which she alleged was not investigated, with the alleged victim herself denying it and also the eyewitness. Another gruesome fabrication spread by Setalvad about the tearing of a pregnant woman's stomach and lifting the foetus on the tip of the sword has been disproved by the SIT as false. On post mortem the foetus was found intact within the unfortunate dead lady who succumbed to burns during the riots, and was identified by her relatives. This is corroborated by the statement of the doctor who performed the post mortem.

4. While investigating theGulbarg case, the SIT came across nearly 20 witnesses who came with their readymade typed statements and refused to videotape their statements, to which the SIT objected. When they did give their statements, they did not match the readymade statements, and also admitted to the SIT that the typed statements were given to them by Teesta Setalvad.

5. The Gujarat police had found on investigation that the Godhra train carnage was a conspiracy and what followed was a violent reaction to it. Teesta Setalvad, under tutelage of the Congress government, propagated to the world at large that the Godhra train carnage was accidental and the riots were a conspiracy supported by the Gujarat government. The Justice Banerjee Committee report claiming the Godhra train burning to be an accident was


held illegal by the High Court of Gujarat. The SIT also rejected the accident theory, and found on reinvestigation that the Godhra carnage was indeed a conspiracy to burn and bake the unwary passengers and the riots were a reaction. This fact is now judicially established in the trial of Godhra incident by the sessions judge appointed by the then Chief Justice of Gujarat High Court as directed by the Supreme Court. The very fact that one of the principal accused in the Godhra carnage is now a fugitive in Pakistan, with an Interpol Red Corner Notice, clearly reveals how the conspiracy originated. So, another evil myth to poison the minds of the people of our country against Modi has been disproved by a series of judicial findings.

6.It is now widely known that the entire anthology of false and gruesome stories brought to the notice of the Supreme Court by mainly Citizens of Justice and Peace, the NGO headed by Teesta Setalvad, on the basis of which the Supreme Court appointed the SIT itself, were found by the SIT to be false. Modi bashing, Modi defamation became a lucrative industry and a blood sport during the last 10 years. Appropriate recruitments were done, the Goebbelsian strategy that if you repeat a lie a thousand times it will become a truth was used to the hilt. The Congress and Teesta Setalvad must have basked in their success until the SIT findings revealed not only the real truth to the world, but also exposed the lies of

The CPM in West Bengal has raised a question that, from its own point of view, it couldn't have timed better. West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi around noon today. On the eve of her first-ever planned meeting with him, the CPM asked if Ms Banerjee was planning a 'ghar wapasi'.

At a rally at Kolkata's Brigade Parade Ground on Sunday, the CPM attacked Ms Banerjee on every possible front: her alleged failure to create jobs, ensure women's safety and, of course, the Saradha chit fund scam. On the dais were Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, Prakash Karat, Biman Bose and Sitaram Yechuri.

But the prickliest question camefrom parliamentarian Md Salim who said, "Mamata had said before the Lok Sabha elections she would tie a rope round Modi's waist and drag him around. Many Muslim brothers thought, here is a brave daughter who will drag Modi around with a rope around his waist. But we now have to ask, Didi, you are going to Delhi, Are you taking a rope? Or are you taking a rakhi for Modi."

Slamming the Trinamool for bringing the BJP to West Bengal, Mr Salim added, "Is this a drama? BJP is saying ghar wapasi. Trinamool from its birth was with the BJP. Didi is now going for 'ghar wapasi'."

Barring an accidental meeting at Rashtrapati Bhavan in December, Ms Banerjee has avoided PM Modi for the last nine months, not even


sending a representative to the first meeting of the Niti Aayog in February, which replaced the Planning Commission. But, at last, Ms Banerjee herself sought - and got - an appointment with PM Modi. On the agenda - the state's financial crisis.

"The previous government and the current government, both had said the Finance Commission would address our financial crisis. But it did not. So this meeting was necessary," she had said on Wednesday.The CPM will be closely watching Ms Banerjee's meeting with the PM today. Elections to over 90 civic bodies in Bengal are due next month; Assembly polls are scheduled to be held next year.Vaughan Azzurri SC's Maksym Kowal smashed in a hat-trick on the final weekend of match-play to lay claim the 2019 League1 Men's Golden Boot, and guide his side to second seed position going into the 2019 League1 Ontario Championship Quarter-Final stage.

FC London and Woodbridge Strikers also locked up their spots in Matchweek 15, setting up some intriguing battles with former playoff rivals.

Kashiff DeJonge (29', 40', 49', 82') had a day to remember with four goals as Darby FC beat Toronto Skillz 8-0 on the final day of League1 Ontario men’s regular season.

DeJonge scored twice in each half as he led his side to the victory. Nicholas Spittle (36'), Bayley Winkel (55'), Jack Sears (61') and Brydon Caesar (75') also had their names on the score-sheet at Birchmount Stadium


on Sunday.

Despite the rout, Darby FC barely missed out on the play-offs, with their rivals London FC and Woodbridge Strikers winning their respective games later that day and mathematically eliminating them.

However, there were still reasons to be cheerful for Darby as they bowed out on their season with a big win and some beautiful goals.

DeJonge’s first goal was an excellent example: a cross came in from a free kick and captain Joe Zupo reached highest and headed to set up a shot for the striker, who made no mistake from close range.

Toronto Skillz were battling hard to get their first points since June until that point, but the first goal changed the dynamics of the game. The visitors continued their pressure and scored two more in the following11 minutes and made sure the game was beyond doubt.

Darby returned from the break with the same intensity and scored another three within the first 16 minutes of the half. The tempo dwindled after the sixth, but the visitors still added two more, with the last one coming from the man of the match.

FC London played with ten men over 15 minutes and saw their late penalty denied by the post, but thanks to Patrick Melo's (3') early goal they beat Pro Stars FC 1-0 and clinched the seventh spot in the eigh-team playoff zone.

It took just three minutes to break the deadlock, as Patrick Melo received the ball from Ethan Gopaul at the edge of the box, entered into the penalty area


and drilled it into the bottom left corner.

Pro Stars FC twice tested the opponent's keeper, Anthony Sokalski, through a Domenic Parris strike from 12 yards and a Halburto Harris low shot from a tight angle, both saved by the keeper.

On 27 minutes, Mohammad Nafar put Tomas Alvarez through, but his shot was denied by Pro Stars' keeper Christian Campanico. FC London had a chance to double the lead, as a Bradley Heath free header from close range on a Jeremy Arnold cross from the right went inches wide from six yards.

FC London started the second half by closing up spaces in the back-line to keep their fragile lead and looking for another goal on counters.

At 51 minutes Nafar hit the base of the upright from 15 yards; atthe other end, Sokalski parried a Camaal Reid cross-cum-shot on a free kick from the right and then denied Chambers' attempt from point-blank range in the follow-up.

The visitors were dangerous on the counters; Arnold burst past three players and saw his finish saved by Campanico.

At the 77th minute, FC London went to ten men as Heath was shown a straight red card for denying a goal opportunity. Reid, again, stepped up for the free kick and was denied yet again by Sokalski, who put a stellar performance between the posts.

Despite having ten men, FC London could have scored a second. On 85 minutes, Chad Gopaul found himself in an almost one-on-one situation with the keeper, but Campanico denied his first shot and then his second on the rebound.

In


the last minute of the four minutes of the stoppage time, Ethan Gopaul was brought down inside the box by Odain Simpson and a penalty was awarded to FC London, but Wilson fired it against the post.

With this result, Pro Stars' season ended in 11th position with 17 points - eight points out from the final playoff position.

With the win, FC London qualified for playoffs in seventh position in the table and will play Vaughan Azzurri SC over two legs in the 2019 League1 Ontario Quarter-Finals.

Woodbridge Strikers clinched the final playoff seed after holding onto a 2-1 victory over Unionville-Milliken SC at Vaughan Grove on Sunday.

The Bridge needed all three points to continue into post-season soccer after Darby FC temporarily entered the playoff zone earlier in the day.Woodbridge needed a full team effort to save their season from catastrophe.

And it was the team play of last season's Championship finalists that earned them the first goal. Emmanuel Issac and Andres Caicedo combined on the left wing to break into space with Issac cutting into the box before laying it off to Mathew Santos (42'), who finessed the ball into the net to make it 1-0.

Play came to a screeching halt at half-time as thunder started to rumble and the rain started to drench the field. The second half wouldn't kick off until an hour later as the teams and officials waited for the weather to subside.

Despite the long break, Woodbridge didn't lose their momentum as they entered the second half. Issac weighted a perfect pass to


keeper, Matt George, only to pounce on his own rebound and put the home side on the scoreboard.

Another bright spot in Aurora's play came from the goalkeeper, Emanuele Ameltonis, who made a handful of key saves before the first half ended to keep the deficit to two goals.

Kowal's (68') third goal of the match, and his league leading 15th, would be the final blow to Aurora's playoff dreams.

Aurora FC finish the year in 10th position in the table with 21 points in their column.

With the win, Vaughan SC qualified for playoffs in second position in the table and will play FC London over two legs in the 2019 League1 Ontario Quarter-Finals.week ago, her cursor hovering over the deactivation button.

Ranked Nos. 30-31 by Baseball America.

DEVELOPING: The Rays, as usual, are active with Monday's opening of the international signing period, agreeing to deals with three of the Baseball America's top 50 prospects.

SS Alejandro Pie, the No. 13 prospect, is a 6-4, 175-pound 16-year-old from the Dominican Republic described by Baseball America as "as an athletic shortstop with plus speed and a plus arm" who could project more as an outfielder. He agreed to sign for $1.4 million, per Jesse Sanchez of mlb.com.

OF Estanli Castillo, the No. 40 prospect, is a 16-year-old, 6-3, 195-pound power-hitting outfielder who is considered one of the top sluggers in the class, described as "big, strong


and has plus raw power, blasting balls out of the park in BP with an uphill stroke" who puts on "a fireworks show" .in workouts but will need to make adjustments in games."

SS Daury del Rosario, ranked 50th, is another 16-year-old Dominican, listed at 6-0, 175 who is a switch-hitting shortstop who scouts like for "his hitting ability and track record of putting the barrel to the ball in games.''

Mercury bioaccumulation in fish did respond to decreased inputs in the industrialized headwater reach, but paradoxically increased in the lowermost reach of EFPC. As a result, the downstream pattern of Hg concentration in fish changed from one resembling dilution of a headwater point source in the 1980s to a uniform distribution in the 2000s. The reason for this remains unknown, but is hypothesized to involve changes in the chemical form and reactivity of waterborne Hg associated with the removal of residual chlorine and the addition of suspended particulates to the streamflow. PCB concentrations in fish varied greatly from year-to-year, but always exhibited a pronounced downstream decrease, and appeared to respond to management practices that limited episodic inputs from legacy


I), I wanted to talk to him about how his cinematic tastes were formed in a part of the country that’s completely removed from Hollywood or New York. He shared how his parents first introduced him to important films at a young age, the excitement with which he’d discuss having seen movies like Taxi Driver with his friends at school, and the films that first made him want to become a director himself. We also discussed what makes a “good” film fan, as Hader offered his own advice to those looking to broaden their horizons and cinematic taste.

However, it seems things occasionally get out of hand when deciding how to commemorate some of our heroes, either past or present, as the unveiling of a roundabout named after West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini shows.

Here, we take a look at eight of the weirdest and most bizarrely wonderful tributes and dedications to those from the world of football...

Manuel Pellegrini Roundabout

Nothing says 'thanks for the memories' quite like your own traffic calming system does it?

The West Ham boss got his very own roundabout in the city of Malaga this week, as acknowledgement of his achievements with the club.

The former Premier League winner led Malaga to the Champions League quarter-finals back in


2012, with a team featuring the likes of Isco, Joaquin and Roque Santa Cruz. Six years on, the club are in Spain's second tier but have ensured they will never forget the glory days with this new addition to their road network.

Gilberto the Anteater

Former Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva is somewhat of a legend in north London, with the Brazilian playing a key part in the 'Invincibles' in his first season in English football.

His six-year tenure with the club has led to a somewhat bizarre tribute however, with an anteater at the London Zoo named after Gilberto. Okay, so it's not official club recognition, but it is an actual thing - with the Brazilian apparently remarking that the animal is "my slightly hairy older brother!"

Very weird but oh sowonderful.

Jackie Milburn the Locomotive

If you were asked to name the two biggest legends in Newcastle United's history, you'd most likely be told the names Jackie Milburn and Alan Shearer - and for good reason.

The pair account for over 400 Newcastle goals between them, with Milburn holding the Magpies goalscoring record for 49 years before Shearer broke it. The former's legendary status on Tyneside has led to multiple statues being created in his honour - but it's perhaps the naming of a steam locomotive train which catches the eye.

Although it was taken out of a service, it's since been recommissioned - bringing alive his name once more in the north east.

Park Ji-Sung Highway

Former Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-Sung earned himself quite the reputation as a big-game player during his


time at Old Trafford - often stepping up to the plate when his team needed him most.

The South Korean was always relied upon in the toughest of circumstances - which is perhaps why a busy stretch of road back in his homeland was named in his honour, given the particularly intense traffic flow. Or it could just be a bit weird.

Yep, we'll go with weird.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez & Neymar the Pumas

These three were quite the combo when they were together at Barcelona - tearing apart defence after defence in La Liga and on the European stage.

It's perhaps less of a surprise then that given their appetite for devouring the opposition, Messi, Suarez and Neymar had three baby pumas named after them at a zoo in Russia.

No doubtthey have grown up a little now and are quite fearsome little so and so's.

Fitting really, although still a little strange.

That Cristiano Ronaldo Statue

Octavio Passos/GettyImages

Hmmm, probably time we acknowledged the age-old tradition of statues.

We've seen some beauties over the years, but are their really any better than the one of Cristiano Ronaldo at the Madeira airport in Portugal? Probably not. As works of art go, this one is pretty high up on the 'works of art' scale.

Good job his performances on the pitch are better than the craftsmanship on display here.

Alessandro Del Piero Beach

This next one is somewhat unconventional, but it's probably quite well suited to the style of play Alessandro Del Piero displayed on the pitch during his lengthy career with Juventus and Italy.

The flamboyant forward was


knock for his flair, ability on the ball and ability to produce crowd pleasing moments - which perhaps had a hand in the decision to rename a stretch of seafront in Jesolo, Venice after Del Piero.

He did after all draw the crowds in to watch him - providing rays of sunshine on the pitch that no other was able to produce. Okay, enough of the beach related quips - got it.

Jose Mourinho Avenue

We gonna rock down to Mourinho avenue...?

Jose's not particularly happy these days, is he? Well perhaps he was cheered up a little when he was told that a street was to be named after him back in his native Portugal.

The location of 'Avenida Jose Mourinho' is pretty idyllic - set next to the sea, it offerspedestrians the chance to stretch their legs and relax, whilst sampling a nice refreshing sea breeze.

Possibly not quite the atmosphere you'd associate with Mourinho - whose angsty personality has come to the fore in recent weeks. Thing is though, he knows we all love it. Jose you little tease.

The conclusion to this list brings us to one of the most revolutionary footballers ever seen - Ajax and Netherlands star Johan Cruyff.

The Dutchman wowed television audiences when he introduced the 'Cruyff Turn' to the world during the 1974 World Cup, and he became synonymous with the ideology of beautiful football. Cruyff became a national treasure as a result of his success within the game, so it's no surprise to learn that almost everything under the

“But I saw nothing that looked like my son,” recalled Pastel, an African-American who lives in Orono with her German and Norwegian husband.

So, Pastel decided to write her own stories. The former stockbroker put together a draft of an ABC book about boating and showed it to her friend Kakie Fitzsimmons, a single white mom who is also raising a biracial son.

The two Twin Cities women thought they were on to something. They spent several years researching the market and honing ideas for a book series and other products featuring a multiracial group of kids who are involved in


WATSONVILLE — A man sitting in a parked car with his 4-year-old child was shot in the arm Tuesday evening.

Watsonville Police officers and detectives continue to investigate the shooting that occurred shortly before 6 p.m. Tuesday on the 200 block of Sudden Street. The department confirmed that its preliminary investigation indicates the shooting is gang-related.

The child was uninjured and the 29-year-old victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to a hospital.

The Watsonville Police Department, based on witness reports, believes the gunman was wearing a bandana or ski mask covering their face at the time of the shooting. The suspect was last seen running east on California Street.

The man at the center of a day-long manhunt in Carroll has been found and arrested.

Police say 25-year-old Christine Burtnett was stabbed by her boyfriend, 27-year-old Mark Lee at about 7 a.m. Friday at 1308 North Main Street.

A neighbor told Channel 13 a woman covered in blood came to her house and pounded on the door asking for help.

“She was bloodied, had dried blood all over her face. She was very hard to understand. She could hardly talk, she couldn’t catch her breath,” neighbor Amy Carpenter said.

The neighbor called 911 and said Burtnetttold her she was stabbed Thursday night and had been trapped in the basement but was able to escape when the man who stabbed her left for work.

Burtnett was flown by air ambulance to a Des Moines hospital with stab wounds to her upper chest. Police say she is in a stable condition.

Officers tried searching for Lee at his workplace Friday morning and saw him about a block away from the business but he took off on foot and got away from police.

Officials locked down public schools in Carroll while the hunt for the suspect got underway. Schools dismissed on time but police were in full force making sure the bus routes were safe.

As the manhunt carried on into the afternoon, police told residents to be on the


slung his helmet at his adversary and plunked the Roush driver's car right on the nose.

Those are the kinds of moments that made Bristol, a place built on the reputation of nights like the one in 2004 when Ward Burton threw his shoes at Dale Earnhardt Jr., Elliott Sadler punched an ambulance, and even the mild-mannered Jimmie Johnson showed a certain central digit to Robby Gordon. There's no way to engineer a saga like that, even with all the grinders and pavers in East Tennessee. That something similar broke out Saturday, on the heels of such-ballyhooed changes and with so many eyes fixated on this big cereal bowl, may have been as much coincidence as anything else. But it happened, and people are buzzing about Bristol again, evenme seven spots in the finishing order. And Indy, he was mad because he said I blocked him, and I asked for five minutes of his time to clear the air, and he wouldn't give them to me. Just pretty much got cussed out. ... So, I'm just going to race him the same way he would race me. He showed me how he was going to race me down there. I just did the same thing on the other end."

Would that confrontation have taken place had Smith left the track intact? Difficult to say. But it's hard to draw a direct connection, either. Before the machinery was brought in to whittle down the banking at the top, Bristol was essentially a one-groove race track. Event winner Denny


fair and who's not."

Nothing, though, compared to the incident involving Stewart and Kenseth, which began with close racing between the drivers two corners earlier. Then, Kenseth said, he lifted off the accelerator to prevent both of them from wrecking. When they stormed through Turn 4 side-by-side, the Roush driver was expecting the same courtesy. "If he would have stayed around the bottom for two laps and passed me clean, I just probably would have lifted and let him up the line," he said. "But ... the first shot he had, he just went straight like I wasn't even there."

When Kenseth rolled down pit road and saw Stewart gripping his helmet, he knew what was coming next. "I was expecting it," he said. "I was expecting it, and itdidn't really bother me. It wasn't going to hurt it any worse."

Driving past, Johnson caught a glimpse of Stewart preparing for launch. "I saw him lingering, kind of waiting with his gear," said the eventual race runner-up. "I figured something was going to happen. I heard he had a good toss on it. I know he impressed our crew. They were all talking about it. They said he had a good arm on him. He had a good throw, and hit it dead center."

And with his one mighty heave, produced the signature image of Saturday night at Bristol, one that even eclipsed Hamlin overtaking Carl Edwards to win his third race of the season, tying him for most on the Sprint Cup tour. It's difficult to look at


that ground-down upper groove and believe it was solely responsible for all that happened, particularly given that the alteration didn't necessarily have the intended effect. But in the end, it didn't really matter. Whether by strategy, fate, or grand coincidence, the Bristol everyone loves so much returned, its splendor reflected in Stewart's black helmet hurtling through the sky.

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido is under investigation for the alleged sabotage of the country's power grid, the chief prosecutor said Tuesday, as the government sought to pressure an adversary who blames corruption and mismanagement for nearly a week of national blackouts.

The announcement by Tarek William Saab, Venezuela's attorney general, escalated the confrontation between the government and Guaido even as the United States, a key backer of the opposition leader, said it was withdrawing its last diplomats in Caracas. The U.S. has dismissed Venezuelan government accusations that it triggered the power crisis with a "cyberattack."

Guaido is already under investigation for alleged instigation of violence, but authorities have not tried to detain the leader of the opposition-controlled National Assembly since he


violated a travel ban and then returned a week ago from a tour of Latin American countries.

Saab said the case against Guaido also involves messages allegedly inciting people to robbery and looting during power outages. Information Minister Jorge Rodriguez appeared on national television to condemn "Guaido and his gang" for their alleged attempt to cut the power as a way of fomenting chaos and toppling President Nicolas Maduro.

Rodriguez said the power grid had been almost completely restored and that water service was also returning. More neighborhoods of Caracas had power on Tuesday morning. But anecdotal reports indicated continuing outages for many Venezuelans, who were already suffering from hyperinflation and shortages of food and medicine.

On Tuesday, long lines of people converged at springs in the mountains of Caracas tocollect water in bottles because water pumps have been failing during the power outages. Venezuelans usually use debit cards to pay for food and other necessities since hyperinflation has rendered the national currency, the bolivar, nearly worthless. But the cards haven't worked because of the blackouts, forcing people to scrounge for scarce cash and search for the few shops that were open.

Schools and many businesses remained closed on Tuesday. There were widespread reports of looting on Monday in the city of Maracaibo.

Adding to tension over Venezuela's fate, the last U.S. diplomats in Venezuela prepared to head home as relations between the United States and Maduro deteriorated further.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo tweeted late Monday that the U.S., which recognizes Guaido as Venezuela's interim president, was withdrawing the


remaining diplomats because their continued presence in Caracas had become a "constraint" on U.S. policy as it campaigns to oust Maduro.

"We made the decision yesterday that it just was prudent to get these folks back," Pompeo said Tuesday in an interview with KTRH, a Houston radio station.

"The situation there is deteriorating," he said. "The Maduro regime's horrific leadership over the last years has just made life there so difficult, it began to make it more difficult for the United States to take the actions that it needed to do to support the Venezuelan people. So we concluded this was simply the right step to take and this was the right time to take it."

The Venezuelan government early Tuesday disputed Pompeo's account, saying it had instructed the diplomats toleave within 72 hours. Their presence "entails risks for the peace, integrity and stability of the country," Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza said.

"These are the same officials that have systematically lied to the world about Venezuela's reality and personally have directed fake, flag-waving operations to justify an intervention," he said in a statement.

U.S. President Donald Trump has said "all options are on the table" in his administration's support for Guaido, who says Maduro is an illegitimate leader and must resign so that Venezuela can hold elections. Maduro accuses Guaido and the United States of plotting an invasion.

Maduro's government in January cut ties with the U.S. over its recognition of Guaido as Venezuela's rightful leader. U.S. officials rejected that on the rationale that Maduro had no authority to take such

In addition, the replacement of individual sealing segments is expensive due to the material lock connection. If the base body is mounted on a supporting section, this usually occurs via a sliding engagement in the peripheral direction, as a result of which, when one of the sealing segments is replaced, several sealing segments have to be disassembled from the supporting sections. The metal plate reshaping in addition limits the freedom of design of the sealing segments and that of the sealing arrangement, and as a result construction related compromises have to be made. Moreover, the construction related compromises have a disadvantageous effect on their sealing effect and on the weight of


Apple is facing a class action lawsuit that accuses the company of failing to install vent filters in MacBooks and iMacs, leading to lower processor speeds and screen smudges from trapped dust, which result in expensive repairs for consumers.

News of the lawsuit was published today by Hagens Berman, the firm handling the case.

"Apple is the most valuable company in the world today because consumers trust it to make reliable, quality products, yet it has failed to remedy one of the most simple and well-known problems in the technology community - the accumulation of dust," said Steve Berman, managing partner and co-founder of Hagens Berman. "This filter defect is costing Apple owners hundreds of dollars in repairs, and Apple refuses to take responsibility." "We intend to hold Apple accountablebeen charging customers with machines out of warranty upwards of $600 to fix these problems. The lawsuit says iMac and MacBook models from 2013 to 2018 are affected.

Several plaintiffs are named in the lawsuit, including a photographer who was plagued by dark spots on her Mac's display, a user who had smudges on his iMac who was required to pay $600 for a replacement after five months, and a third iMac owner who saw dark smudges soon after making a purchase and subsequently had his display and motherboard replaced multiple times, leading to high repair bills.

The class action lawsuit is seeking monetary compensation for Mac owners, including compensation for screens that "did not perform as advertised," reimbursement for out-of-pocket repair costs, and compensation for those who sold their


WATCH: An Idaho woman thought she was breaking up a fight between her dog and another canine but after separating the two, she realized the other animal was a mountain lion.

Send this page to someone via email

A woman in Idaho was trying to break up a fight between her dog and another canine outside of her home, but as she pried apart the two animals, the woman quickly realized she was holding onto a mountain lion.

Story continues below

According to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (IDFG), the woman believed she was breaking up a dog fight when she yanked a 35-pound juvenile, male mountain lion off her pooch late last week.

The IDFG said Monday the unidentified woman managed to restrain both her dog and the mountain lionwhile she yelled for her husband, who was inside their home at the time of the attack, telling him to grab a gun.

The man quickly responded and shot the wild animal as his wife held on to it.

“The couple immediately called the local authorities, and a Fish and Game officer arrived within 30 minutes of the incident,” IDFG said in a statement. “The responding officer retrieved the mountain lion carcass for testing at the Wildlife Health and Forensic Laboratory to determine if disease may have played a part in the lion’s behaviour.”

Both the dog and the woman sustained some scratches during the incident, but the injuries are not serious in nature.

Fans of HBO's new hit show "Euphoria" already know what a great soundtrack the series has. Now, in an unexpected (but on point) crossover, viewers of the show and fans of BTS worlds were combined when the show featured a song from Jungkook, a member of K-pop group BTS, during its season finale.

[Warning: Minor "Euphoria" Season 1 finale spoilers ahead.]

The season finale of "Euphoria" aired on Sunday and wrapped up one of its season-long storylines with the song conveniently titled, "Euphoria." The solo single released in 2018 is part of BTS' album "Love Yourself: Answer" and played as Kat (Barbie Ferreira) and Ethan (Austin Abrams) share a long-awaited kiss.

Jungkook's song was perfectly on-brand for the romance-filled moment, and fans seem to agree.

"Jungkook said euphoria is a song thatbasically describes the tingling feeling in the beginning of a new romance," one Twitter user shared. "They played euphoria during a kissing scene in euphoria season finale which is the perfect way to end the episode."

Live 2008: 5th Annual Concert Tour - SFJazz Collective - (SFJazz Records) - SFJazz began its life in 1983 as Jazz in the City,a program that coordinated concerts, community outreach and education in the Bay Area. The name change occurred in 1999 and, in 2004, the organization launched the SFJazz Collective, an octet that would bring the musicians from throughout the United States to the Bay Area for a multi-week residency and subsequent concert tour. Under the guidance of saxophonist-composer Joshua Redman, the octet would focus on the works of a single composer each season, developing a repertoire for the concert stage. In addition, each member of the ensemble was asked to create an original piece. After the tour (all of which was recorded), a


multi-disk, limited edition, recording is released; the recordings are available only online from www.sfjazz.org.

While the personnel has changed over the 5 seasons (only pianist Renee Rosnes and alto saxophonist Miguel Zenon have been involved in all the residencies and tours), the mission and quality has never wavered. Starting with Ornette Coleman in 2004, SFJazz has presented the music of John Coltrane (2005), Herbie Hancock (2006), Thelonious Monk (2007) and, this past season, Wayne Shorter (the focus of this year will be pianist McCoy Tyner.) Arranger Gil Goldstein worked with the group for the first 3 seasons but, starting in 2007, each member now contributes the arrangements.

The 2008 octet featured Rosnes, Zenon, bassist Matt Penman (his 4th season), drummer Eric Harland (his 4th season), trumpeter Dave Douglas (his 2ndseason) and, in their debut tour, tenor saxophonist Joe Lovano, vibraphonist Stefon Harris and trombonist Robin Eubanks. For the new release, the group chose 9 Wayne Shorter compositions (7 from the mid-1960s) and 8 original works. Spread out over 3 CDs (and 174 minutes), the recording is filled with great solos, intriguing melodies, creative arrangements, and striking interplay. First of all, the rhythm section is flat-out wonderful. Bassist Penman is propulsive, extremely melodic, and can really hold down the bottom. Harland, whose percussive work has graced the groups of Charles Lloyd, Terence Blanchard, McCoy Tyner and many others, is a fiery player; like Elvin Jones, he's a master of poly-rhythms and really goads the soloists into pushing the limits of their playing.

There is too much music here to


go through every track but each musician shines on this program. Rosnes' arrangements of "Diana" and "Footprints" displays respect for the original versions. On the former, her voicings of the melody are gorgeous, and she gives Zenon the beautiful theme to work with. It's the shortest track (4:13) but, certainly, one of the highlights. The alto saxophonist, recently awarded both a MacArthur "Genius" Grant and a fellowship from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation, is a sparkplug throughout. His arrangement of "Armageddon" kicks off the program and, within the first minute, one can hear the strengths of the octet. His original contribution, 'Frontline", displays his love for intricate melodies, shifting rhythms, and musical dialogues (after the opening theme, Lovano and Eubanks weave melodies around Zenon's flying lines - it'sbreathtaking music.)

The other musicians each show their mettle during the program. Douglas's take on Shorter's 1997 "Aung San Suu Kyi" (his tribute to the non-violent political activist from Myanmar) caresses the lovely melody then opens up to joyful solos. Harris, who took over the vibraphone chair from original member Bobby Hutcherson, continues to impress as a composer, arranger and soloist. His piece, "The Road to Dharma", is an expansive blues with a fine tenor solo from Lovano (who replaced Redman.) In turn, Lovano offers "This, That, and the Other", a boppish piece with rollicking solos from the composer, Rosnes, and a "hot" give-and-take featuring Harris, Zenon, Douglas, Rosnes and Eubanks. The trombonist, a mainstay in bassist Dave Holland's various ensembles, offers a shining arrangement of "Black Nile" (from


1964), building upon the composer's use of North African rhythms and easily slipping into the hard-bop sound that Shorter worked with in Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers.

This package has been in my possession since October 2008 and, despite listening to the tracks numerous times, I'm still hearing new touches, enjoying the arrangements, loving Harland's brilliant percussion work, and understanding how each musician blends his or her style into the Collective. If you enjoy the music of Wayne Shorter, appreciate intelligent interpretations, and want to hear 8 of the finest contemporary musicians "strut their stuff", SFJazz Collective will give you many hours of satisfaction.

Here's a video of the Octet from 2007 performing "Alcatraz," a section from Douglas's "San Francisco Suite."This year at Christmas, my husband and I wanted to decorate for the holidays. We bought a live noble fir tree from a Christmas tree lot. We got it home and set up in the stand. It was very strong smelling and made my eyes water and skin itch while I was helping him put it up. My son though, who has food allergies, didn't touch it but woke up from his nap with hives. I gave him Benadryl then we had dinner. He woke up the next morning covered in hives again. I gave him another dose of Benadryl and took him to daycare. He was fine throughout the day. I got him home that night and wanted to take a few pictures of him in front


as technology's creators, and not merely its consumers. Together with the Image of Computing Task Force and organizations such as the ACM and WGBH, NCWIT is working to change the image of computing and IT to attract more people, especially more people who traditionally have eschewed it.

From one perspective, getting more kids interested in computing is a simple numbers game: IT jobs are growing at twice the rate of the overall workforce, according to the Department of Labor. Yet declining interest in computing and IT as a career field has meant that our colleges and universities may not produce nearly the number of skilled IT workers the U.S. will need.

From another perspective, increasing diversity in IT is a measure of our country's ability to innovate and compete: thecomes one week after Apple removed several apps that had the ability to spy on encrypted traffic . Apple's admission that its App Store hosted apps that installed such root certificates that could bypass the transport layer security protections of other apps almost certainly exposed a separate hole in the company's security vetting process.

The 256 apps detected by SourceDNA, by contrast, are accessing data that is explicitly forbidden by Apple's App Store rules, Lawson said. The advertising tool kit that acquires the data is provided by Youmi, a company that's not easy to contact, since its website is written almost entirely in Chinese. Most or all of the apps that use the kit are similarly Chinese-based, including the official McDonald's restaurant app for Chinese speakers.

covering one of the contracts. At the November term, 1923, a verdict was rendered in favor of the plaintiff against the defendant upon the first four counts, and in favor of the defendant on the fifth count. Defendant thereupon moved the court to set aside the verdict on the first four counts, and plaintiff to set it aside as to the fifth count. The court sustained the latter motion, and set aside the verdict against the defendant under the fifth count, as it did also the verdict on the fourth count *219 in favor of the plaintiff, and entered judgment in favor of the plaintiff against the defendant on counts 1, 2, and 3, from which decision the defendant sued out its writ of error to this court,which, at the present term, has rendered judgment affirming the District Court's decision. 6 F.(2d) 214.
The court set aside the judgment and awarded a new trial as to counts 4 and 5, and the case is now before us to review certain rulings of the District Court made on the new trial thus ordered.
The facts in the case, briefly, are that the plaintiff, with its principal place of business in Philadelphia, Pa., was engaged in the business of refining and selling sugar; and defendant had its principal place of business at Luray, Va., where it was engaged in the wholesale grocery business, and purchased large quantities of sugar from plaintiff. During the year 1920, in the months of May and June, the defendant, through plaintiff's agent, Beery, entered


into the five contracts for the purchase of sugar, including that covered by the two counts, to wit, contract No. 180, dated May 28, 1920 (assortment June 14, 1920), for the equivalent of 114 barrels of sugar, at the base price of 22½ cents per pound, delivery during August, 1920, or as soon thereafter as possible, being the contract covered by the fourth count of the declaration, and contract No. 1990, dated June 4, 1920 (assortment June 14, 1920), for the equivalent of 114 barrels of sugar at the base price of 22½ cents per pound, delivery during September, 1920, or as soon thereafter as possible, being the contract covered by the fifth count. Deliveries under each of said counts were withheld at defendant's request, as claimed bywas the issue presented, and the conflict in the testimony was sharply drawn as to who was responsible for the alleged breaches of the contracts covered by said two counts, and upon whom the losses arising therefrom should fall. The jury returned a verdict in favor of the defendant, upon which the court entered judgment, from which this writ of error was sued out.
The assignments of error relate especially to the ruling of the court on the admission and exclusion of evidence, the court's failure to instruct a verdict in favor of the plaintiff, its error in giving and refusing instructions, and for entering judgment on the verdict. These will be considered in the order named.
First. The action of the trial court in the admission of evidence respecting


by him created a strong belief in his truthfulness. In addition to this was the undeniable fact that there was no earthly reason why the plaintiff did not ship a car in August and another in September, unless it was Frazier's belief that Ford and Harnsberger had asked, and he had granted, a delay in shipment until they should request it. Moreover, McLaurin's deposition had some tendency to corroborate Frazier's evidence. On the other hand, Ford and Harnsberger could by no reasonable possibility have been mistaken. They testified as to the one and only interview they had ever had with Frazier or with McLaurin. The matter of these interviews was of very great importance to Ford and Harnsberger. Forgetfulness on their part was simply beyond the range ofto assent to the proposition to extend the July contract, but avowed its purpose to comply with the terms of the orders for August and September deliveries, and informed plaintiff they were not interested in the proposed extension, as the July contracts had already been canceled and were inoperative, and no longer binding, but, upon the solicitation of plaintiff's vice president, Mr. Frazier, agreed to take up the whole subject with their company upon returning home. They also saw President McLaurin, of the Wholesale Grocers' Association, in New York on that or the next day, and he was advised of the status of affairs, as understood by the defendants.
Immediately upon defendant's representatives arriving home, on the 27th of August, pursuant to understanding, the matter was taken up with


defendant's witnesses insist they promptly refused to accept; they assuring plaintiff's vice president, Mr. Frazier, that they were not interested in that feature of the case, and their action in this respect was sanctioned by defendant's board of directors on the 27th of August, the day prior to the letter of the 28th renewing the suggestion, and after plaintiff had received *222 the telegram saying defendant company declined to withdraw cancellation of the July shipments, and the McLaurin communication of the 7th of September was nearly 10 days after the defendant's positive refusal to accept the terms suggested, and of which McLaurin was advised by letter of August 28, 1920.
In the light of these facts, the letter of 28th of August from the plaintiff had no proper placein the record, and could only operate as an effort on the part of the plaintiff to bolster up and maintain its position respecting a transaction which had been concluded, and the letter from McLaurin of the 7th of September could only be used for a like purpose, and in no manner bound plaintiff as to any suggestions it might make; nor was defendant estopped by its failure to again inform plaintiff of its position respecting the suggestions contained in either of said letters, since they were only what had been from the first proposed by plaintiff and rejected by defendant, and the latter was under no legal obligation to make further reply to either of said communications, nor was plaintiff in error warranted in assuming that the


a container valve, the residue adheres to an outer peripheral surface of a closure member of the container valve.
However, on switching over the closure member from a closed position to an opened position and switching over it from the opened position to the closed position by the operation means, the annular scraper scrapes off the residue adhered to the outer peripheral surface of the closure member. This prevents the residue from invading a space between the closure member and the guide hole to result in the possibility of smoothly opening and closing the closure member for a long period of time.
Besides, a sealing member is attached between at least one of the guide hole and the inner peripheral surface of the scraper, and at least one of theclosure member and the transmission member. The valve chamber can keep its hermetical state by the sealing member. This can surely inhibit the leak-out of the fluid within the valve chamber.
Concretely, the sealing member can be attached between the closure member and the inner peripheral surface of the scraper and/or between the transmission member and the guide hole. Further, in the case where the closure member is inserted throughout the guide hole and the valve chamber, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, it can be also attached between the closure member and the guide hole. Besides, in the event that the transmission member is inserted throughout the guide hole and the valve chamber, the sealing member can be attached between the transmission member and the scraper.
Additionally, the


weeks later, on July 6, while preparing for a dinner party that evening, Mrs. Krol discovered that there was no water, although prior to that time there had been an adequate supply.
The Krols survived the evening's dinner party by the grace of friendly neighbors who loaned them water and stoic guests whose self-restraint or early departure avoided taxing the sanitary facilities. But for the remainder of the year the Krols were forced to survive on water supplied by *323 hoses from neighboring homes and promises from the appellees. On one occasion during this period, appellees' representative offered to dig the well 100 feet deeper in exchange for a release from the Krols, but, presumably once burned, the latter declined the gamble. Finally, in January 1973, appellants contracted withof time is specified, the several warranties provided for in this subtitle shall expire:

While the Koehlers' problems with the well continued for approximately a year, the water was then found free from contamination, but the Court of Appeals did not disagree with the trial judge that the house owner was justified in having dug a new well and was entitled to recover its reasonable costs:
"A subsequent report relative to a sample taken on April 14, 1969, showed that as of that date the water was free of contamination. That report was forwarded on April 16. By that time the die appears to have been cast, however, because on May 8 a well driller other than the driller employed by Bosse applied to the Department of Water Resources for a permit to drill a well which was completedWe accept that teaching from Bosse as well.
Having found from the evidence available in the record that the parties and the transaction were subject to coverage by the implied real property warranty, and that an adequate supply of potable water is one prerequisite of fitness for habitation, we have but to note that there was substantial evidence in the record that the well intended to provide the water did not work, except intermittently, after the twelfth day of possession by the Krols. They endured half a year of water hoses from their neighbors' houses during this period of unfulfilled promises from the appellees, before resorting to self-help by having a new well dug.

A delegation from the Vatican’s office for Christian Unity, headed by a bishop, visited the temple last month in a sign of friendship, Dini-Ciacci and a Vatican official said.

During a recent visit, the temple was abuzz with workers getting ready for the dedication. They included six college-age U.S. missionaries, in Italy for two years of voluntary proselytizing work that is a trademark of their Church.

Born: 31 March 1976 in Houston, TX

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

Years Active: '90s, '00s, '10s

A member of the loosely organized Houston-based rap collective known as the Screwed Up Click, Lil' Keke quickly proved himself one of the collective's strongest artists, debuting in 1997 with Don't Mess wit Texas, which sold 40,000 copies in Houston alone. It was re-released nationally as The Commission in 1998 with the hood anthem “Southside,” as its single. Keke would release nine independent solo albums and a handful of collaboration LPs (with Slim Thug, Big Hawk, and his crew Herschelwood Hardheadz)...


THIS is the lavish superyacht commissioned by Donald Trump 24 years ago - before the project was abandoned when financial problems surfaced.

Trump paid Spanish ship builders Oliver Design £140,000 to design the 420ft yacht in 1993.

Now, drawings and blueprints released by the firm show what he described as 'the most beautiful yacht in the world'.

The vessel would have boasted four decks, a helipad, suites, lounges, a swimming pool, hot tubs and a vast gallery decorated with palm trees.

But the project reportedly had to be shelved by Trump due to financial problems.

The fledgling firm was spottedby Trump at the Florida Boat Show, one of the world's leading shipping fairs.

The billionaire's PA approached them and said he had chosen them to design his new yacht.

A signed letter sent from Trump in March 1993 to boss Jaime Oliver reads: "I am interested in building a 420' yacht which, when completed, will not only be the largest yacht in the world, but at the same time, the most beautiful.

Mr Oliver and son Inigo developed a close personal relationship with Trump and made numerous visits to Trump Tower in New York.

But shortly after the project was scrapped - and the Olivers later discovered the businessman had filed for bankruptcy in 1992 after his Plaza Hotel in New York accumulated $550 million in debt.

Inigo Oliver said: "It was a great opportunity and a big challenge for us at the time.

But due to economic problems he was goingThe invention is in the field of safety pertaining to equipment operation generally, and more particularly relates to training operators of mine equipment, specifically heavy mine equipment such as the large haulage trucks used in strip mines, to operate the vehicles more safely.
A study of surface mine injuries occurring in 1973 turned up 24 fatal accidents which were reported for that year. Of this number, half were caused by the truck leaving the roadbed and overturning, or backing over an embankment. Only one of the 24 accidents was classified as one in which operator error was not involved, and the circumstances make even this accident somewhat questionable. In that accident, a stockpile caved in on the truck. The details of the truck positioning and other factors are not


if it is continually tied up in major repair projects involving trucks which have been in accidents.
Prior training of haulage truck operators generally involves the trainee riding along with an experienced operator for a few days after which he is put on his own, possibly with an instructor riding along for a brief period. It is a fact, though, that the majority of accidents of the type described above are caused by operators with less than a year on the job. This alone stands testimony to the fact that practical, increased efficiency through better training would reduce the economic and human costs of accidents.
Prior to the development of the instant invention, similar operator training problems involving equipment other than on or off-road trucks have been met by trainingand in a lot of instances with the use of simulators. Simulators are widely used in aircraft training, they have also been used or at least developed for training tank operators, submarine operators, and in other applications where equipment is expensive and the fallout from an accident can be disastrous.
While the industry would stand to benefit greatly from training with simulators such as are used for operators of tanks, ships, and aircraft, the costs of such simulators is well beyond the financial capability of all but a handful of mining companies in the United States.
It should further be noted that where such simulators have been developed, the number and kind of variations in machine capabilities and features is relatively small; there are only a few different models of

Category nominees and winners

Machines, accessories, components

Winner – KIRA B50 from Kärcher

KIRA B50 is Kärcher’s first robotic scrubber dryer. The company has entered the market with a fully autonomous machine with a docking station to allow independent charging and tank emptying/refilling. It offers automatic route planning of pre-defined zones.

The jury voted the Kärcher robot as the winner of this category because the company has entered this market segment with a machine that can immediately be described as totally autonomous. The involvement from humans is minimal – which is what true autonomy means – andthe opportunity charging feature makes demand-oriented cleaning in specific zones a reality.

Other nominees in this category:

Service Station for Cleaning Robots from Adlatus – This is a new docking station for the existing Adlatus cleaning robot CR700. When the machine has run out of battery or the tanks need attention it independently seeks out the service station and charges the battery while also dealing with the water tanks. This means it can be autonomous for longer periods of time and require less human involvement.

Automatic Marvin from Wetrok – Marvin is Wetrok’s first project in autonomous cleaning, a small scrubber dryer based on a teach-and-repeat principle. The human demonstrates how the room is to be cleaned, and Marvin then imitates them. It is designed for use in small areas and


help of recycling specialist partners it is setting up the service on a local level and helping to cut the carbon footprint of paper hand towels by 40 per cent.

The jury was highly impressed with this ambitious launch by Essity. This is the first recycling service of its kind in our sector and aims to encourage facilities managers to take a more circular approach to running their washrooms. By involving local partners who specialise in paper recycling they are making the service practical and workable with minimal environmental impact. And they have invested in encouraging washroom users to buy into the idea of placing their towels in the correct bin and being part of the project with research into behavioural change.

Dityspray from Dityspray –This couple got married on Mount Everest — see the stunning photos

By Julie Pennell, today.com

A California couple decided to get hitched in one of the most stunning venues available: Mount Everest.

Charleton Churchill

Ashley Schmieder and James Sissom got married at Mount Everest base camp.

Photographer Charleton Churchill, who specializes in adventure wedding photography, said he had been wanting to capture a wedding on the site of the world’s tallest mountain, at 29,029 feet, since 2011. He had originally planned to do this with another couple in 2015, but while they were on the mountain, the 7.8 magnitude Nepal earthquake struck and halted the nuptials.

These nuptials bring new meaning to the phrase “destination wedding”!

consecutive World Cups for the first time.A top defender in Major League Soccer, Gonzalez hung tough against high-scoring Germany on a soggy field and with a slippery ball."Everyone is so important in our group and we wanted to give Cam a break, and we don't kind of have the luxury to say that all the players can come and go every four days in games and be always on the highest level," Klinsmann said. "We were sure now with Omar coming in he was ready. He worked so hard the five, six weeks we had camp. And he was ready for it, and he showed that on the field."Gonzalez hurt his left knee May 3 against Colorado, keeping him out for the start of Klinsmann's structured training camplast month at Stanford, California.He hoped it wouldn't put him behind. Clearly, Klinsmann trusted Gonzalez to take over a big responsibility on a new-look back line that has been scrutinized from the start for its youth and inexperience on soccer's biggest stage."Jurgen has always said this is a group of 23 players," U.S. Soccer Federation President Sunil Gulati said.Against second-ranked Germany, Gonzalez didn't flinch. His 6-foot-5, 210-pound frame certainly helped him to win possession on headers.He received a quick congratulatory pat on the backside from goalkeeper Tim Howard when he cleared a ball in the 14th minute, then a high-five from fellow center back Matt Besler after another hard tackle against Thomas Mueller.Gonzalez, who joined the national team player pool in 2009, cleared another potential chance for Germany


after the ball deflected off Howard in front of the box."Not easy, you know, and thrown into the firing line," Howard said. "I thought he did well, some good clearances, read the game well."The 25-year-old defender from Dallas made his World Cup debut in the 91st minute of Sunday night's 2-2 draw with Portugal in Manaus, then made an even bigger impact in his first start with his team's World Cup hopes on the line and chants of "U-S-A!" ringing through Arena Pernambuco.While the Americans didn't exactly get their ideal result, the defense didn't allow the Germans a game like their 4-0 romp over Portugal in the opener.When the final whistle blew and the Americans quickly learned of Portugal's win, they took a lap to thank the fansFamily Kept Chinese Man in Cage for 11 Years

Wu Yuanhong, 42, was shown sitting on blankets in the narrow enclosure, his feet shackled with a heavy chain and wearing only a T-shirt and his underwear.

He was diagnosed as a schizophrenic at the age of 15 and in 2001 he beat a 13-year-old to death, the Information Daily newspaper said on its website.

This picture taken on May 24, 2013 shows Wu Yuanhong, 42, a mentally ill Chinese man, gets his lunch served to him by his mother in a cage, which he has been kept formore than a decade by his family, at their home in Lijiachong village in Ruichang.

Wu was placed in shackles after his release, but his mother Wang Muxiang, built the cage after he escaped and walked around his home village of Shangfan scaring local residents, the report said.

Family members cried as they put him in the cage, the report added, but he escaped again and they were forced to build a stronger structure to hold him.

"My son may


be insane, and beat someone to death, but he's still my son. To use my own hands to place him in a cage was very hard to take, like being stabbed with a knife," the paper quoted Wang as saying

Wang gives her son three meals a day, placing a cloth over the cage and providing a pan when he needs the toilet."Every time I delivered food, I would sit at his cage and cry," she reportedly said, adding: "Now my tears are dried up."

Many mentally ill people in China go without proper treatment due to alack of resources and qualified professionals, especially in the countryside.

The Ministry of Health said in 2010 that there were only about 20,000 psychiatrists to serve the country's population of 1.35 billion, the state-run China Daily reported.

Authorities estimated in 2009 that about 170 million people had some form of mental illness, while more than 16 million suffered from severe mental health problems.

The Information Daily quoted local officials as saying they had supported Wu's family with donations of oil and rice, adding Jiangxi had launched limited subsidies for poor families with mentally ill relatives.

An official at the police station in Nanyang, which covers Shangfan, told AFP he was not aware of the case.


express or implied (excepting judgments and sealed instruments).
"SECTION 100. If, when the cause of action shall accrue against any person, he shall be out of the State, such action may be commenced within the terms herein respectively limited after the return of such person into this State; and if, after such cause of action shall have accrued, such person shall depart from and reside out of this State, the time of his absence shall not be deemed or taken as any part of the time limited for the commencement of such action."
An examination of the statutes of the different States shows a great similarity in their provisions. They generally provide that if a person shall be out of the State when the cause of action accrues against himthe statute does not begin to run until he returns into the State; if, after the cause of action has accrued, such person shall depart from and reside out of the State, the time of his absence shall not be taken to be a part of the time limited for the commencement of the action. As to a resident of the State where the action is brought, his temporary absences after the cause of action shall have accrued do not suspend the running of the statute. As to a non-resident debtor, however long his absence may be continued, he takes no benefit from the statute. Temporary returns do not put the statute in motion. So long as he continues to reside in another State, so long he is


liable to an action in the State in which he is sued. These provisions are found in substance in the statutes of Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont, New Hampshire, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Oregon, and Iowa.
The State of New York is not singular, therefore, in providing or in holding that although a debtor may have been from time to time within the State, yet while he is a resident of another State, and until he becomes a resident of New York, he cannot ask the protection of the statute of limitation.
It was proved and conceded that during all the time of the existence of the contract in question the defendant had property within the State of New York, an office at Corning, *146 New York, directors, officers, and agentswithin the State; that it was at all times amenable to the process of its courts; and that in 1855 the plaintiff availed itself of this condition of things to bring a suit against the defendant for a portion of the demand claimed under the contract now in controversy, and that the present suit was commenced by the service of a summons upon the defendant's agent at Corning, New York.
In 1848 the code of New York authorized the commencement of a suit by the delivery of a copy of the summons to the defendant, and if the suit was against a corporation, to the president or other head of the corporation, secretary, cashier, or managing agent thereof.
In 1851 this section was amended by adding thereto the words "but


taken as any part of the time limited for the commencement of such action." Although a natural person who has thus departed may return frequently and remain long, yet if his domicile continues in another State, the time of his non-residence forms no part of the time limited by the statute.[] It was legally impossible for the Tioga Railroad Company to depart from the State of Pennsylvania. Of course, it could not bring its residence into the State of New York. *150 It was resident out of the State when the cause of action accrued against it, and has ever since so continued. There is no limitation of the time in which the action may be brought in such a case.
Statutes of limitation are in their nature arbitrary.They rest upon no other foundation than the judgment of a State as to what will promote the interests of its citizens. Each determines such limits and imposes such restraints as it thinks proper.
In Angell on the Limitation of Actions at Law,[*] the author says: "Under the thirty-fourth section of the Judiciary Act of 1789, the acts of limitations of the several States, where no special provision has been made by Congress, form a rule of decision in the courts of the United States, and the same effect is given to them as is given in the State courts. In accordance besides to a steady course of decision for many years, the Federal judiciary feel it an incumbent duty carefully to examine and ascertain if there be a


settled construction by the State courts of the statutes of the respective States where they are exclusively in force, and to abide by and follow such construction when found to be settled. There is no, unwritten or common law of the Union. The rule of action is found in the different States as it may have been adopted and modified by legislation and a course of judicial decisions. The rule of decision must be found in the local law, written or unwritten."[]
The decisions of the courts of the State of New York upon the question before us directly, and in its collateral aspects, have been uniform and consistent. They all sustain the view we have taken; Burroughs v. Bloomer,[] holding that the time spent by a person inin the nature of things be the test of the running of the statute. A different rule applied to an individual because he is a citizen or resident of another State, is a violation at once of equal justice and of the rights conferred by the second section of the fourth article of the Federal Constitution, that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in the several States.
I can hardly believe, therefore, that the New York statute means that if two men doing business in adjoining houses in the city of New York, one may avail himself of the statute, of the State for limitation of actions, when the time prescribed has elapsed, because he is a citizen of


Briard

Described by Thomas Jefferson as the finest house and farm dogs I have ever seen, its clear that the Briard has much more to offer than a beautiful shaggy coat.

Bred for centuries as watch and herd dogs on remote French farms, the Briard was also the official dog of the French Army, and was used to carry supplies to the front line and served as a sentry dog. Due to the breeds keen hearing, they were also used by the medical corps to search for wounded soldiers. Unfortunately, it was this role in World War I that contributed to the Briards status as a rare breed. Many were lost as they searched bodies, looking for any sign of life.

A baby boy born in an Uber cab while his mother was travelling to the hospital in the Indian capital New Delhi will be named after the San Francisco-based firm. Uber driver Shahnawaz Khan who helped facilitate the birth of the baby has decided to name him after the firm he works for after the baby's mother's family requested him to do so for his kindness and gratitude.

On 10 December, Khan received a request late in the evening from a man in South Delhi to take his wife to a hospital. He wanted to refuse, but, later decided to make the trip. At that time he did not know that she was in labour.

The woman's husband, Rajkumar, had requested a friend to book the cab after repeated emergencycalls for an ambulance went unanswered. After Khan arrived, he saw that Rajkumar's wife Babli was in labour and suggested they call an ambulance. But they requested him to take her to the hospital as an ambulance would only delay things. As Rajkumar was unable to accompany his wife due to a recent injury, his sister and a neighbour went with her.

The journey to Safdarjung Hospital was, however, stalled due to a heavy traffic jam. During the ride, when it became apparent that Babli would soon deliver the baby, Khan initially panicked. However, with the help of the other two women he turned the cab into a labour room and helped deliver the baby safely.

"The woman was writhing in pain and her friends did not know what to
