what politicians did," Mr Srisuwan said.

He added that he will ask an NLA ethics committee to investigate the matter.

Mr Srisuwan also called on Mr Patipat to quit his job in a show of responsibility and for Gen Preecha to apologise to the public over the matter.

Since Gen Preecha is a high-ranking officer as well as a political-office holder, he should maintain a higher moral standard and act as a role model for the public, Mr Srisuwan said.

Defending his son's appointment, Gen Preecha said Monday that his son had been properly recruited by the 3rd Army to fill a vacancy as a civil affairs officer.

Gen Preecha said his son had the right qualifications for the job as he had experience working in public relations with state-owned PTT Exploration andProduction Plc (PTTEP) and holds a degree in communications.

Applications for military positions are usually screened by a committee and it was his job as the permanent secretary for defence to approve proposals made by the committee, as assigned by the defence minister, he said.

Gen Preecha said his son did not want to be a soldier, but he had advised him to take up a military position because it was more secure than being a PTTEP employee. He said he asked his son to apply when a vacancy became available.

He said Gen Prayut had no objections as long as the process was legitimate.

"Probably it is because our family name is Chan-o-cha and it has drawn public attention. Many other children of high-ranking military officers also join the military when

The film tells the origins of Stephen Strange, neurosurgeon-turned-superhero-sorcerer. After losing the use of his hands in a car accident, he travels to Tibet, where he encounters The Ancient One, who teaches him the ways of the mystic arts. Strange marks the first film in the MCU after Captain America: Civil War, which producers teased will break the current Avengers line-up and prompt new heroes to fill the ranks. So it’s important to get this story right.

Doctor Strange, which hits theaters on November 4, 2016, will be followed by solo films for Spider-Man, Black Panther, and Captain Marvel, in addition to another Ant-Man adventure.

They were going to send Barwin and Cole screaming down the line to stack up the running back, force Pryor to keep the ball, and leave it up to the linebackers and safeties to bring him down. Continuing the play from above, Barwin goes so far as to tackle the non-ball-carrier inside while Pryor escapes outside, where Mychal Kendricks and Co. will chase him down after a short gain:


building up your savings account. At any time before or after charge-off, you or the debt negotiation firm you've hired can negotiate settlements on your debts. Sometimes settlements are as low as 10 – 25 cents on the dollar, but more often they are in the 50% range. Creditors are not required to settle debts.

Under most programs, you will be completely out of debt (at least unsecured debt) in anywhere from 12 – 36 months depending on your total debt and the money you are able to save to settle. When all is said and done your total payoff should be around 50 – 60% of the amount of debt that you entered the program with, including the fees charged by the settlement company (if you used one).

school enrollment has grown among students who are in poverty, black students, and Hispanic students, the study found.

Lower-income students who performed poorly on tests while attending traditional public schools did much better after enrolling in charter schools. Moreover, their improvement was greater than fellow charter students who had previously tested well in traditional public schools.

In other words, those most in need of educational improvement tended to benefit the most from charter schools.

A string of recent studies have found urban charter schools produce learning gains, while suburban and rural charters have mixed results.

(State Sen. Barry) Finegold, the bill’s sponsor and the son of public-school teachers, said his motivation sprung from conversations with parents in Lawrence, part of his district northwest of Boston, where the struggling school district was takenschools offer students from historically underserved backgrounds a real and sustained chance to close the achievement gap,” said Margaret Raymond, who directs CREDO at Stanford University.

Statewide, the typical student in a Massachusetts charter school gains an extra one and a half months of learning per year in reading and two and a half in math.

KIPP middle schoolers learn significantly more than comparison students, concludes a report by Mathematica Policy Research on 43 schools in 13 states plus the District of Columbia. Three years after enrollment, the average KIPP student gained an extra 11 months in math, moving from the 44th to the 58th percentile, and eight months in reading, moving from the 46th to the 55th percentile. Science gains equalled an extra 14 months and social studies an


special education services or to have limited English proficiency. (Since many more KIPP students are black, it makes sense that fewer speak English as a second language.)

For example, a student could leave KIPP for another school in 6th grade, but their performance at the new school is counted towards the academic achievement of KIPP students overall regardless. The report also found that KIPP schools have similar attrition rates as traditional district schools (37 percent over three years for both sets of students).

KIPP students spend much more time in school than traditional public school students: nine hours per day, for 192 days each year, in KIPP, compared to 6.6 hours per day, for 180 days. In addition, KIPP students spend an extra 35 to 53 minutes on homework eachby Stanford’s Center for Research on Education Outcomes (CREDO). However, low-income students and students who aren’t fluent in English do better in charter schools. Special education students do about the same.

Overall, the report found 17 percent of charters outperform traditional public schools, 46 percent are about the same and 37 percent are less effective.

Students do better in charter schools over time. While first year charter school students on average experienced a decline in learning, students in their second and third years in charter schools saw a significant reversal, experiencing positive achievement gains.

Elementary and middle school charters are effective; high school charters lag behind.

There were very significant differences between states. States that cap the growth of charter schools had lower performance, as did those with multiple charter authorizers. Denver,


Chicago and Louisiana charter schools were the most effective; Ohio charters did the worst.

On average, charter schools receive 78 percent of the funding of district-run public schools. In seven of 16 states studied, charters receive no facilities funding so they must use operating funds to pay for classroom space.

In response to the report, the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools called for requiring annual performance targets in charter contracts and clear legal authority to close underperforming charters. The alliance also wants to hold charter authorizers accountable for the performance of schools they approve to make it harder for poorly conceived schools to shop around for a lax authorizer.

National Alliance will be releasing A New Model Law for Supporting High-Quality Growth for Public Charter Schools next week.

The alliance criticizedsome aspects of the report, such as the comparability of charter and non-charter students and limited data on high school achievement. A recent RAND report found charter students earned similar test scores to non-charter students but were more likely to graduate from high school and go on to college.


Beginning immediately the World Professional Billiard League will go on hiatus from the league’s current schedule. Over the next several weeks, the WPBL will begin a plan to correct mistakes made in the operation of the league by management.

As most fans know, the WPBL endured unforeseen hurdles during the launch of the league. As a consequence of the fraudulent practices by the original contractor on the WPBL Arena's construction, the allotted operating capital for the league’s inaugural season had to be used to finish the construction on the arena. As a result, the WPBL has found itself in a difficult financial predicament only six weeks into the season. Unfortunately, the business model was not executed according to the original plan and consequently did not allow for such asetback. The WPBL has now been forced to re-evaluate our business structure and restart with a cohesive strategy for success.

During the next few weeks, the WPBL staff will take time to redistribute responsibilities and reform our strategies. Two weeks ago the players were informed of the league’s current financial status and have shown an allegiance of support to the WPBL by continuing to play during this time. Furthermore, the players are standing by our decision to recess the league’s season temporarily in an effort to restructure.

Both the WPBL staff and players have overwhelmingly spoke out with words of encouragement regarding the league. Most notably, Scott Frost captain of the Phoenix Fire had this to say: “This league is the present and future of pro pool and I need


operating the league. In the coming weeks, we will make every effort to rectify these errors with the cooperation of the staff, players and fans. The WPBL has every intention to continue the 2013 season by executing a newly developed business plan that has the support of the WPBL pros.

During this time off, the WPBL will not only work to strengthen its internal structure, but help fans and skeptics understand how Bonus Ball is played. We recognize that some people are having a difficult time understanding various aspects of the game, including subtle rules, or how the scoring relates to the statistics and league standings. In the coming weeks, we look to improve our relationship with our fans as well as the billiards industry as a whole byresponding to industry concerns such as this.

With the number of active billiards players declining throughout the globe, our goal at the WPBL has always to been to reinvigorate the sport whose rich history dates back to the 15th century, by adding proven contemporary sporting elements to the game. At present, although numbering in the millions, billiards fans would have a difficult time finding “pool” on traditional broadcast television. Our mission is to create an outstanding production of a cue sport that is exciting to watch, challenging to play and esthetically pleasing to the eye. We believe that by building the first dedicated billiards arena in the world, it is evident that we are committed to advancing the future of the sport through the creation of Bonus Ball as


well as the World Professional Billiard League.

Finally, anyone who has bought WPBL PPV access will be contacted in the coming weeks regarding compensation for their purchase.

On behalf of all involved, we want to thank the fans and the billiard community as a whole, for their patience and understanding during this time. The WPBL staff and players will diligently work over the next few weeks to make improvements in all aspects of the corporation for the betterment of league, the players and the industry.

Please continue to follow the WPBL for additional updates:recognition to the Syrian opposition, whose formal name is the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces. The new organization (commonly called the Syrian National Coalition) was formed in Doha, Qatar, on November 11. The Arab television network al-Jazeera, citing a release from Egypt’s official news agency, reported an announcement by Ahmad Mouaz al-Khatib (pictured), head of the newly formed coalition, that the organization will have its headquarters in Cairo.

On November 12 the member states of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf — Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Oman — recognized the Syrian National Coalition as “the legitimate representative” of the Syrian people, at the same time withdrawing recognition of the Syrian government headed by Bashar al-Assad. France recognized


the coalition on November 13, Turkey on November 15, Italy on November 19, and the United Kingdom on November 20. France is the only Western nation to have extended formal diplomatic recognition to the coalition.

Prior to the coalition meeting, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said: “I hope this meeting here today will give a boost to that opposition, to the coalition, and will appreciate that they have made a big step forward. I will speak about the question of recognition when I talk to the House of Commons later this week.”

A statement posted on the U.S. State Department website on November 11 read:

The United States congratulates the representatives of the Syrian people on the formation of the National Coalition for Syrian Revolutionary and Opposition Forces. We look forwardto pursue the creation of an Islamic state in Syria. The statement has not been authenticated.

UPI also quoted one Mohammad Saeed of the Syrian Revolution General Commission, who said: “Whether this statement is true or not, the Syrian people are all supportive of the coalition. These groups have no right to support or reject the coalition.”

Despite the apparent enthusiasm for the new coalition among Western governments, serious questions remain about the nature of the opposition forces in Syria. In an article for The New American on July 16, for example, foreign correspondent Alex Newman wrote about the connection between the Syrian opposition and such Western financial and foreign policy power brokers as Goldman Sachs, George Soros, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Bilderberg conference, and even the U.S.


government. Newman cited Charlie Skelton, who analyzed the Syrian opposition in an article for the British Guardian. In his article, Skelton discounted the most frequently cited Syrian sources providing statements to the media about the opposition, explaining that many are openly connected to what he calls “the Anglo-American opposition creation business.”

One of the key opposition players noted by Skelton is Bassma Kodmani, one of the top leaders in the “Syrian National Council,” which will fill 22 of 60 seats in the council that will govern the new Syrian National Coalition. A biography of Kodmani in Wikipedia notes her role in the Syrian uprising: “After the start of the 2011-2012 Syrian uprising, Bassma Kodmani took a prominent role in the opposition against the regime of Bashar al Assad. Sheorganization that has also come under fire for its controversial efforts to remake the world. More recently, she was serving as the executive director of the “Arab Reform Initiative” for the powerful U.S.-based globalist outfit known as the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) — yet another controversial elite group that is often faced with severe criticism for its hostility to national sovereignty, as well as American traditions of self-governance and individual liberty. The CFR membership roster includes many of the most influential figures in U.S. politics, business, military, and more.

Newman concluded his report with an ominous warning:

There are also numerous other factions, including al-Qaeda, battling the regime in Syria right now. So despite the carefully constructed media-created perception of an opposition unified behind the Western establishment-backed SNC for


attacks as hardliners have gained political dominance, vowing to rule Egypt by Islamic law. Or in Iraq, post-Saddam Hussein, where, according to a report from the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), “Half or more of the pre-2003 Iraqi Christian community is believed to have left the country, with Christian leaders warning that the consequence of this flight may be the end of Christianity in Iraq….”

A February 2007 report from the Assyrian International New Agency, “Christians Fleeing Iraq,” noted that the refugees included a disproportionately high number of Christians — perhaps as many as a third of the total. The article also reported where most of the refugees were heading: “According to United Nations officials, about 2 million Iraqis have fled the country since the start ofThe dark side of competition: How competitive behaviour and striving to avoid inferiority are linked to depression, anxiety, stress and self-harm.
This study was guided by the social rank theory of depression and aimed to explore the relationship between depression, anxiety, stress and self-harm with striving to avoid inferiority, feelings of shame and styles of attachment. Participants diagnosed with depression (n = 62) completed a series of questionnaires measuring striving to avoid inferiority, fears of missing out, being overlooked and active rejection, attachment, social rank and psychopathologies. Striving to avoid inferiority was significantly linked to social rank variables and anxious attachment. Mediator analyses revealed that the relationship between striving to avoid inferiority and depression was mediated by the social rank variable of external shame, and also anxious attachment. These

In the last several years, rosé wine has exploded in popularity among wine drinkers. While consumers purchase this varietal throughout the year, sales in U.S. off-premise channels highly skew to summer months and peaked during the week of Independence Day in 2017.

Interestingly, rosé buyers are expanding total wine sales, as consumers are adding rosé to their carts as an addition to other wine varieties they also purchase. For example, rosé shoppers are increasingly adding more white wines, such as chardonnay and white zinfandel, to their baskets compared to a year ago. This indicates that rosé is a popular middle ground for consumers who prefer sweet or dry white wines.

I lied. "Nope." She was flustered. "Then who did it? Gene said it wasn't him." She had asked Gene if he thought it was me. He snorted and said, "Ya think?"

and compare it with the previous two halvings in order to see if any similarities arise that can help us determine if the event is priced in.

RSI Similarities and Differences

The previous two Bitcoin halvings occurred on Nov. 26, 2012, and July 11, 2016.

During the first event, the high was reached 105 days prior to halving. On that date, the weekly RSI briefly went into overbought levels before dropping sharply.

Similarly, the RSI jumped to overbought levels during the top prior to the second halving. However, this top was reached only 28 days prior to the first event. Similarly, both the price and the RSI decreased after this top. However, unlike the first halving, the decrease continued well after the event — with the price reaching a low several weeksafterward.

In the current movement, the most recent high has been that of $10,504 reached on February 7, 2020. If the halving occurs on May 12, the top would be 98 days prior to the event.

However, the current movement is quite dissimilar to the first two:

First, the aforementioned high was not combined with an overbought RSI value.

Jay-Z released his new album, "Magna Carta Holy Grail," today exclusively to Samsung Galaxy users who installed a dedicated app. The album features "Jay Z Blue (Daddy Dearest)," which contains samples of The Notorious B.I.G.'s "My Downfall," in the form of vocals from Biggie and Jay-Z reciting some of the lines himself.

XXL has an interview with David Catalano, the creator of a web series that takes lyrics from Biggie songs and has actors perform them in a sitcom setting. He's done five so far with two more written. Check them out below.

April 20 was Record Store Day, a yearly event that began in 2008 to celebrate record stores. As part of the festivities, exclusive vinyl releases are produced. Among this year's offering was a special white vinyl releaseBarack Obama’s run for president in 2008 and is the U.S. affiliate of the Socialist International.

His involvement in the Vatican conference demonstrates how Pope Francis is moving the Roman Catholic Church into the global socialist camp.

ABC News quoted the pope as saying that his “brief encounter” on Saturday with presidential candidate Sanders was a sign of good manners, “nothing more.” The Reuters news agency quoted the pope as saying that anyone who thought the meeting was political should “look for a psychiatrist.”

In fact, Sanders’ appearance is much more than a brief encounter. It is entirely consistent with how, under Pope Francis, the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences has become what conservative Catholic Michael Hichborn of the Lepanto Institute calls a haven for Marxists and socialists. He says that


these groups are maneuvering to bring into being an international socialist order.

In Sanders’ speech to a conference of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences, he embraced Catholic “social teachings” in his indictment of the “market economy,” or capitalism.

At the event, Sanders sat next to Evo Morales of Bolivia, who had previously presented a communist crucifix to Francis. Sanders enthusiastically greeted Morales upon his arrival at the event.

A prominent speaker was Father J. Bryan Hehir, who once taught a course at the Institute for Policy Studies called “Matthew, MARX, Luke, and John.” Hehir served on the staff of the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops in Washington, D.C., from 1973 to 1992, and now teaches at Harvard. Hehir has explainedthe meaning of the Roman Catholic Church’s call for a “worldpolitical authority” with “real teeth.”

Still another speaker was Jeffrey Sachs, a special advisor to the United Nations and director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, who haschallenged the “American idea” of God-given rights embodied in the Declaration of Independence as old-fashioned and out-of-date.

PASS President Professor Margaret Archer has her own Marxist tendencies, having co-authored a book titled, Transcendence: Critical Realism and God.In the introduction of the book, Archer and her co-authors say of themselves, “The three of us are all academics. One of us is a philosopher, and two are sociologists. Similarly, we are all associated with the political left, the economic or Marxian left particularly.”

Archer was appointed by Pope Francis as the president of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences in April of 2014.

Hichborn has commented


appearance at the event.

Last August we published a column, “Will the Pope Endorse Bernie Sanders for President?,” speculating that Pope Francis would attempt to put the Roman Catholic Church firmly in the Democratic Party camp in a critical election year during which Republicans were hoping to turn back the tide of transformational Marxism represented by President Barack Obama.

The column noted that an article in the Jesuit publication “America” highlighted the fact that Sanders was the presidential candidate who most often quoted Pope Francis.

While the pope didn’t endorse one candidate over another during his visit to the United States, the official invitation to Sanders for the Vatican event this month has to be seen as evidence that the Vatican approves of his socialist approach, no matter what personal viewshe holds on religion.

Ironically, the conference that included Sanders was described by some publications as a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Pope John Paul II’s encyclical marking the end of the Cold War, even though communist regimes such as Cuba, China and North Korea still exist. The fall of the Soviet Union was highlighted during the conference.

In this context, Russia continues to be viewed as a “former” communist country, even though it’s run by Vladimir Putin, a former head of the Soviet intelligence service, the KGB.

However, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, writes in The Washington Times that Russian President Vladimir Putin “may have swapped Soviet Communism for Russian chauvinism as Russia’s guiding ideology, but the bellicose, expansionist impulse and

It's worth noting that Rosell would be subject to the Allocation Process, according to the league website. The Revs are currently 10th on the list with the Chicago Fire holding the top spot.As noted above the 13th Amendment passed the House and Senate before the war was over and was declared within 8 months of Lee's surrender as a direct result of the Civil War.
Probably because it was more pragmatic to tackle the CSA aggression at Fort Sumter head on instead of quibbling over the 13th Amendment in April 1861.

It must be historically noted that the Northern Yankee state of New Jersey rejected the 13th Amendment on March 16, 1865. They still had slaves and did not want to give them up.

Union states of Delaware and Kentucky also rejected the 13th Amendment and would not ratify it until many years later.

As for Fort Sumter... There was nothing ever proven illegal about SC seceding and taking the Fort.

Here are the Declaration


1865. They still had slaves and did not want to give them up.

Union states of Delaware and Kentucky also rejected the 13th Amendment and would not ratify it until many years later.

The 13th Amendment still passed the Senate in April 1864. It still passed the House in January 1865. It was still adopted in December 1865.

Contrast that with Article 1 Section 9 .4 of the Constitution of the CSA "No bill of attainder, ex post fact law or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed." http://www.usconstitution.net/csa.html#A1Sec9

Committee on Federal Relations
In the House of Representatives, December 31st, 1836
"The Committee on Federal relations, to which was referred the Governor's message, relating to the site of Fort Sumter, in the harbour of Charleston, and the report of the Committee on Federal Relations from the Senate on the same subject, beg leave to Report by Resolution:
"Resolved, That this state do cede to the United States, all the right, title and claim of South Carolina to the site of Fort Sumter and the requisite quantity of adjacent territory, Provided, That all processes, civil and criminal issued under the authority of this State, or any officer thereof, shall and may be served and executed


to maintain, that while it lasted the county was not a part of the State, and hence was absolved from the duties, liabilities, and restrictions which would have been incumbent upon it if it had remained in its normal condition and relations. The power exercised in putting down the late rebellion is given expressly by the Constitution to Congress. That body made the laws and the President executed them. The granted power carried with it not only the right to use the requisite means, but it reached further and carried with it also the authority to guard against the renewal of the conflict, and to remedy the evils arising from it in so far as that could be effected by appropriate legislation. At no time were the rebelliousor during the war as was Lincoln's plan with his famous proclamation. The proclamation caused thousands of Union troops to desert. Indiana considered leaving the Union over it. The New York "draft riots", 1863, were caused by it. Yeah, the Union, and the war, was all about ending slavery. And before any Confederacy haters go on a rampage about the "evils" of slavery, I never said the "institution" was wonderfull. I have said repeatedly that it WORKED. When I see some symphathy for all the other slaves kept throughout history, I will be happy to discuss it with anyone here. And. Just for the tally books concerning the firing on Fort Sumter. Lincoln refused even to see Southern peace envoys. He knew he had time on his side.


Lincoln proposed the 13th amendment in March of 1861. Fort Sumter wasn't fired on till April 9. The 13 amendment, boiled down, said the Southern states could keep their slaves; Just accept the proposed 13 amendment and it would all be over. Just accept our tarifs, and the 13th is yours. The North and Lincoln was willing to sell out the slaves for higher taxes. But what is the mantra accepted by the masses? The war was all about ending slavery.

And. Just for the tally books concerning the firing on Fort Sumter. Lincoln refused even to see Southern peace envoys.

Why should he have done that? Any such action on his part could have been construed as tacit recognition of the legitimacy of the CSA.

Quote:

He knew he had timemerely necessary." Pournelle

The wealth in slaves' aggregate value held in the South translated into todays dollars would be five to six trillion dollars.

So what? Lincoln plainly stated he would not interfere with slavery where it already existed. He would however prevent it from spreading into new territories and new states, and it was THIS that was intolerable to the south.They demanded the right to bring slavery into the territories and any new states.

Quote:

the Southern slaves were probably treated far better than in any other country in the history of the world. Had the slaves been treated as badly is commonly taught, they would have revolted long before the war

there were slave revolts and the south lived in fear of them.

Quote:

And. Just for the tally books concerning the firing


on Fort Sumter. Lincoln refused even to see Southern peace envoys.

Of course refused to see them, to do so would have given the Confederacy the appearance of legitimacy which Lincoln was not willing to do. President Buchanan Received the emissary of The State of South Carolina whose message was surrender Fort Sumter or prepare for war.

Quote:

Just accept our tarifs, and the 13th is yours. The North and Lincoln was willing to sell out the slaves for higher taxes. But what is the mantra accepted by the masses? The war was all about ending slavery.

Except that tariffs were never brought up in the articles of secession . The "tariffs" argument was created after the south lost and tried to rationalize why their rebellion was noble and legitimate.

To be surereason the "Peaceful" South was not interested in the amendment that would have constitutionally protected slavery in their existing states.

Here is the amendment as passed, and it was passed in Feb 1861, not proposed by Lincoln in March 1861 as Grey rider claims.

Lincoln urged the states to ratify it.

That had nothing to do with tariffs, either. GR seems to be claiming a quid pro quo between Northern acceptance of slavery and Southern acceptance of tariffs. I still don't know what he meant.

Anyway, notice the repeated offers from the North to bend on slavery and preserve the Union, even with Lincoln elected. But the Fire-eaters carried too much clout in the South. They had too much wealth tied in human flesh and too much control over press and pulpit.


disturbing allegation about Omar with legal ramifications: that in 2009, she seems to have married her brother. That allegation has been public for nearly two years without Omar addressing its specific foundations.

Newly uncovered evidence — exclusively published below — adds another allegation: Ilhan Omar has since signed off on apparent falsehoods, under penalty of perjury, during her 2017 divorce from the man in question: Ahmed Nur Said Elmi.

New Evidence, New Allegations

Minnesota law deems court records of divorce proceedings to be available to the public. In 2017, several months after Omar’s marriage history briefly created a national news item, Omar quietly petitioned family court for a default divorce, claiming she could not locate Elmi.

The above documentcredit: Powerline)

There are many other examples of consistent social media communication — comments, likes — between the two since June 2011.

When confronted with the above pictures in 2016, UK resident Ahmed N. Elmi admitted to a reporter that he was indeed the scarved man in the three pictures. However, he also claimed to not know the name of the woman in the colorful head covering adjacent to him, and that she certainly was not his legal wife. He then gave the reporter a different birthdate for himself than the April 4, 1985, birthdate given for Ahmed Nur Said Elmi in Omar’s divorce petition.

In short, he claimed to simply be a different Ahmed N. Elmi, who coincidentally happened to get photographed with Ilhan Omar at a London event. As

A yellow box notes that the document “has been updated since signed,” and an initialed note contains the update: The Respondent [Ahmed Nur Said Elmi] has not signed a declaration of non-paternity as the Petitioner [Ilhan Omar] has had no contact with him since before the child was conceived. In 2016, Ilhan told the press that her 2009 marriage to Ahmed Elmi was essentially a two-year hiatus from her relationship with Ahmed Hirsi, the legal father of all three of her children. She claimed to have separated from Hirsi, then met and married Elmi, a relationship which failed permanently sometime around June 2011, and then rekindled with Hirsi and had a third child. Ilhan is filing for default divorce here.warm water is found in the Loop Current--an ocean current that transports warm Caribbean water through the Yucatan Channel between Cuba and Mexico. The current flows northward into the Gulf of Mexico, then loops southeastward just south of the Florida Keys (where it is called the Florida Current), and then goes just west of the westernmost Bahamas. Here, the waters of the Loop Current flow northward along the U.S. coast and become the Gulf Stream. With current speeds of about 1.8 mph (0.8 m/s), the Loop Current is one of the fastest currents in the Atlantic Ocean. The current is about 200 - 300 km (125 - 190 miles) wide, and 800 meters (2600 feet) deep, and is present in the Gulf of Mexico about 95% of the

One of the most iconic dive watering holes in Chicago is in for major changes.

The original Billy Goat Tavern will be temporarily displaced due to the planned redevelopment of 430 N. Michigan Ave., the Chicago Tribune reports.

According to the newspaper, the National Association of Realtors’ board of directors voted to redevelop the space to make way for a complex that includes a hotel, condos, office and retail space between North Michigan Avenue and Wabash Avenue.

The ambitious project is deemed the "next destination building in the iconic Chicago skyline,” according to officials involved in the property.

Officials maintain that the Billy Goat will be incorporated into the new project.

It's located underneath Michiganequal voice—including the eastern regions where there are many Russians, and 40,000 Russian troops poised just across the border. And, said Lavrov, the regions should have more power over, among other things, foreign trade, cultural ties abroad, and relations with neighbouring states, including Russia.

It is a program, in other words, for the effective dismantling of the Ukrainian state, and it’s hard to see how even John Kerry and President Barack Obama can support that. Meanwhile, the level of panic is rising in the eastern European members of NATO, and especially in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, which also have Russian minorities and border directly on the Russian Federation.

Vladimir Putin, fresh from his Crimean victory, is seriously overplaying his hand. Poland and the three Baltic states are now pushing for


permanent NATO military bases on their territory, something the alliance has avoided since they joined in order not to antagonize Moscow.

Not All Bad News - Economy Not Hurting Skier Visits As Much As Thought

Reports recently released from U.S. ski areas confirm what a previous study indicated: that skiers and snowboarders continue to hit the slopes in strong numbers despite current economic conditions, as long as conditions remain snowy. According to the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA), a random survey of several dozen ski areas nationwide revealed that skiers and riders showed up in numbers similar to last season's holiday period, and in some cases, in record numbers. Some resorts are reporting visits up 40 percent over last year's Christmas holiday period. ..

Visits also appear to be strong in the West, with Colorado's Arapahoe Basin, Powderhorn and Winter Park all reporting record-setting days. Vail Resorts, owner of


Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Keystone and Vail Mountain, and California's Heavenly Resort, said it planned to release visitation numbers later in the week. In Utah, Park City reports visits tracked on pace with last year, thanks in part to its accessibility to an international airport. In California, Mountain High, just outside of L.A., reports visits up more than 40 percent over last year. Meanwhile Mammoth Mountain reports that while it went into the holiday period behind last year's figures, it finished December up one percent over the previous season.

This fall reported season pass sales across the nation were at record levels, while advance hotel bookings were reportedly soft for some destination resorts. But where there was early snow, resorts are reporting that skiers are coming out at, or inL.L.C, formally dedicated the lot's servitude over Lot G-302A to the Parish of Jefferson by notarial act in October 2007. The dedication was accepted by the parish council in Resolution No. 108744, adopted on September 19, 2007. In November 2007 Barataria Park began construction of a paved road on the fifty-foot servitude, which the plaintiffs allege effectively converted their land subject to the servitude into a public street for public use.
The plaintiffs alleged the defendants violated their right of due process by failing to give them prior notice of the dedication of the servitude. They further asserted "the servitude as created represented a private use of access to the owner of LOT G-302A [sic]" and did not constitute an access servitude for the general public, so that the


Parish of Jefferson, passed by Barataria Park on October 21, 2007, and accepted by the Parish on November 5, 2007, registered as Instrument No. 10768110, COB 3206, Page 529, dedicated the grantor's interest in and to the following:

After a hearing the district court granted summary judgment, stating in the judgment, "the plan of resubdivision recorded in the records for the Parish of Jefferson at COB 3052, Folio 385 created a dedication of the fifty foot servitude shown thereon." The plaintiffs appeal. They make two assignments, the first concerning dedication to public use, the second concerning extinguishment of the servitude.

DEDICATION TO PUBLIC USE
The plaintiffs first assert the trial court erred in finding there was no genuine issue of fact that the designated plan of resubdivision created a public dedication of the fifty-foot servitude.
Louisiana courts have recognized four modes of dedication: formal, statutory, implied, and tacit. St. Charles Parish School Bd. v. P & L Inv. Corp.,

Ivan Müller, sometimes spelled Iwan Mueller (1786 in Reval, Estonia – 1854 in Bückeburg), was a clarinetist, composer and inventor who at the beginning of the 19th century was responsible for a major step forward in the development of the clarinet, the air-tight pad.

Müller was born in Reval (present-day Tallinn), at that time a city with a strong Baltic German community in the Governorate of Estonia, part of the Russian Empire.  He became a chamber musician in Saint Petersburg before he was twenty. At the same time, he was constantly striving to improve the clarinet, with new types of keywork. At the time, the standard clarinet used flat brass plates covered in soft leather to cover the toneholes. Since these leaked air, the number of themParu of the Congress party won.

As a young man – a teenager, really – Jonathan Edwards set down on paper a series of thoughts and practices to help cultivate growth in grace. (See 2 Peter 3.18) Edwards then re-read this list at least once a week to keep his mind focused and renewed. The result: A man of humble godliness, who was to become a significant spark used to ignite one of the greatest revivals known to history. Even many unbelieving scholars admit Edwards may have been the greatest mind to be born on the North American continent.

The Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards are still a practical and beneficial tool for spiritual cultivation. But one problem for many is that the early 18th Century language makes it sometimes difficult to grasp what Edwards wrote.generated an even deeper marginalization than social ghettoization, a new criminal ideology of violence, power, cruelty and poverty. The gangs of the coloured communities (coloured people) originated in 1966, the year in which the racial segregation laws caused District Six and other areas of the centre of Cape Town to be expropriated and declared as “white only areas”. Since then these gangs are organized as an order operating outside of the State, founded on “values” such as violence, power, alchool and drug abuse, rebuilding their own identity on specific codes of honour inside illegal networks. Township is the word indicating the urban areas close to the Cape Town metropolitan ones. In some of them, during the apartheid, the Flats areas where built: a conglomerate of cement buildings where


these communities have been isolated, in order to banish them at the fringe of the society. The violence of the gangs rules the common life with a double dynamic: on one side people who, moved from a sentiment of revenge and craving of power and money, decide to start a criminal life, and since a very young age, join one of the several gangs controlling the territory; on the other side, those who do not live in an illegal way but suffer its cruelty and inevitably choose for “protection” in order to survive. Poverty cuts everyone out in a fragile balance between danger and daily life. In the townships, women, men and kids are in contact with gangsters every day, because of their direct involvement to illegal businessor just because innocent victims of the frequent shootings between gangs. Synergies between private life and criminal life are shown at several levels. In the flats violence is learned very early, at the beginning as emulation while playing, then as a direct behavior on the school desks. The local logic is cruel: each flats block is governed by a gang, and young people are soon brought to mislead opposite feelings, to coexist with hate and friendship: classmates during the day, outside the school they come back to their different flats, often “forts” of their opposite gangs.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime – UNODC – in its 2010 global report stated that murders are one of the main causes of “unnatural” death in South Africa, giving this


country the primate of the biggest number of murders in the world. With 41 murders every 100.000 inhabitants, Cape Town holds the biggest number of murders of the entire region, concentrated at the borders of the city, like in the flats areas, where poverty and marginalization are at the base of the criminal activities of the local gangs.

The gangs phenomenon is in constant growth, especially the traffic of drugs feeds diffusion and popularity of these illegal orders. The gangs movement is considered as a culture among the coloured communities, a committed ideology, with hierarchies of power and strength internal and external, implicit or evident, often impressed on their own skin, and imperative codes of honour. Breaking any rule of this system could be fatal.

With the aim of goingmore in depth with the research started in 2012, Gianmarco Panucci went back several times to Cape Town to learn, understand and tell the lives of the coloured gangs. After visiting most of cape flats, Panucci has focused his work in the areas where the presence of the gangs was stronger, and there he has built emotional bonds with people and places. A bond strong enough to feel as a personal cause digging as much as possible into a reality that goes beyond the gangs, but involves everyone living in the coloured areas or close to them.


Volcano erupts near Manila; villagers flee, airports shut

Taal Volcano spews ash and smoke during an eruption as seen from Cavite province, south of Manila, Philippines on Sunday. Jan. 12, 2020. (Jogs Danao/AP Photo) (Copyright 2020 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.)

MANILA – A small volcano near the Philippine capital that draws tourists for its picturesque setting in a lake erupted with a massive plume of ash and steam Sunday, prompting the evacuation of tens of thousands of people and forcing Manila's international airport to shut down.

The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said Taal Volcano in Batangas province south of Manila blasted steam, ash and pebbles up to 10 to 15 kilometers (6 to 9 miles) into the sky in a dramatic escalation of its growing restiveness, whichbegan last year.

The volcanology institute raised the danger level around Taal three notches on Sunday to level 4, indicating “a hazardous eruption may happen within hours or days,” said Renato Solidum, who heads the volcanology institute. Level 5, the highest, means a hazardous eruption is underway and could affect a larger area.

There were no immediate reports of injuries or damage, but authorities scrambled to evacuate more than 6,000 villagers from an island in the middle of a lake, where the volcano lies, and tens of thousands more from nearby coastal towns, officials said. About 300,000 people were targeted to be moved to safety in Batangas overnight and in the next few days.

“We have asked people in high-risk areas, including the volcano island, to evacuate now ahead of a


possible hazardous eruption,” Solidum said.

Renelyn Bautista, a 38-year-old housewife who was among thousands of residents who fled from Batangas province’s Laurel town, said she hitched a ride to safety from her home with her two children, including a 4-month-old baby, after Taal erupted and the ground shook mildly.

“We hurriedly evacuated when the air turned muddy because of the ashfall and it started to smell like gunpowder,” Bautista said by phone.

Fallen ash covered the runways at Manila’s international airport Sunday night. All departing and arriving international and domestic flights were suspended “due to volcanic ash in the vicinity of the airport” and nearby air routes, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines said.

Taal lies around 60 kilometers (37 miles) south of Manila.

Aviation officials also ordered the closure of ClarkInternational Airport north of the capital after ash fell in the area. Authorities said they were considering diverting flights to unaffected airports outside Manila.

Norwegian Tonny Roger, who had flown to the Philippines to visit his wife, said he wasn’t happy that his flight back to Norway was canceled, but he thought of the bright side.

“Well, I can see her more. I will go back to her now,” he told The Associated Press at Manila's international airport.

The volcanology institute reminded the public that the small island where the volcano lies is a “permanent danger zone,” although fishing villages have existed there for years. It asked nearby coastal communities “to take precautionary measures and be vigilant of possible lake water disturbances related to the ongoing unrest.”

Heavy to light ashfall was


reported in towns and cities several kilometers (miles) from the volcano, and officials advised residents to stay indoors and don masks and goggles for safety. Motorists were hampered by poor visibility, which was worsened by rainy weather.

Hotels, shopping malls and restaurants line an upland road along a ridge overlooking the lake and the volcano in Tagaytay city, a key tourism area that could be affected by a major eruption.

Authorities recorded a swarm of earthquakes, some of them felt with rumbling sounds, and a slight inflation of portions of the 1,020-foot (311-meter) volcano ahead of Sunday’s steam-driven explosion, officials said.

Classes in a wide swath of towns and cities were suspended Monday, including in Manila, to avoid health risks posed by the ashfall.

One of the world's smallest volcanoes, Taal isassociated API-style components. Today, Classic API produces and supplies components, kits, and full modules for API- style preamps, EQs, 500-series racks, and more. Jeff's newest product is the Heider FD312 preamp.

Cueing up a little more history... Wally Heider was a recording engineer who studied under Bill Putnam at United Recorders in Los Angeles and started his own recording business in the late 1960s. Heider built and ran studios in Los Angeles (Studio 3) and San Francisco (Wally Heider's Studio) from 1969 until 1980. At these studios, many notable works were recorded by artists such as Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young; The Grateful Dead; Creedence Clearwater Revival; Steve Miller; Fleetwood Mac; and many more. The console in famed Wally Heider Studio 4 was a custom desk designed in 1972


by a tech named Frank DeMedio. DeMedio based this console on the API 312 preamp card, but made some important modifications, including replacing the input transformer and removing decoupling capacitors. These changes created an API-based console with a unique sounding midrange and a smooth top end. This console can be heard on records such as Fleetwood Mac's Rumours and The Foo Fighters 1995 eponymous release.

Classic API recently set out to recreate the sound of that Heider/DeMedio console as a 500-series preamp module. DeMedio's original audio transformers were designed and built by Ed Reichenbach. Ed's son's company, CineMag, currently makes a faithful reproduction of this 1972 Reichenbach transformer. The original API 312 op-amp sound also lives on in the (DIY builder's favorite) Scott Liebers SL-2520 Red Dot op-amp [Tapebeen excused.  We affirm.

The evidence, which need not be detailed for consideration of Pitera's claims, abundantly established that Pitera was the ringleader of a criminal group that engaged in murder, drugs trafficking, kidnapping, armed robbery, and various other crimes.  Several of the murders were personally committed by Pitera, who dismembered the victims' bodies and buried them in a Staten Island bird sanctuary.

Following a jury verdict of guilty as to most counts of the indictment and the jury's decision not to recommend the death penalty, the District Court sentenced Pitera to seven terms of life imprisonment, four terms of twenty years' imprisonment, and five terms of ten years' imprisonment.  Three of the life terms, two of the twenty-year terms, and one ten-year term run consecutively.


A fine of $250,000 was also imposed.

1. Recusal.  Appellant moved for the District Judge's recusal on the basis of a videotaped lecture she had given to members of the New York/New Jersey region of the Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force ("the Task Force").  The lecture was given seven months before Pitera's trial, while the case was assigned to Judge Raggi.  It included advice to the assembled agents and prosecutors about steps they might take to increase the prospects for conviction in narcotics cases and urged them to take such steps.  The lecture made no reference to Pitera's case.  Judge Raggi denied the recusal motion in a carefully considered oral opinion.

In challenging the Judge's ruling, appellant focuses his attention on the particulars ofspecific language he had requested concerning the caution to be exercised in assessing testimony of an informant.  However, the jury was adequately instructed that it should scrutinize informant testimony with particular care and was also told that an informant might lie in an effort to obtain favorable treatment.

6. Retaining a juror.   On the final day of jury deliberations, the District Court conducted a voir dire of a juror whose car had been stolen two days before.  See United States v. Aiello, 771 F.2d 621, 629 (2d Cir.1985).  Though the juror initially expressed doubts about his ability to remain impartial as a result of the episode, he ultimately assured the Court that he had "no doubt" about his ability to serve and that he

Some record company executives worry their industry could lurch back into decline after several years of relative stability, should download sales decline faster than streaming growth accelerates. A key part of that equation, executives say, is persuading enough users of online music services to pay a monthly subscription fee, usually $10 a month, rather than stick with free versions that carry advertising and generate much less revenue for record labels.

Legendary Cleveland DJ Alan Freed has a final resting place -- almost 50 years after his death on Jan. 20, 1965.

After an unceremonious exit in August from theirhome of 12 years in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Lance Freed has found a new home for his father's ashes: Lake View Cemetery.

"It's a lovely spot near a lake," the younger Freed told cleveland.com from his office at Universal Music in Los Angeles. "It's not a traditional gravestone. We're creating something unique: a rough granite stone that will have a microphone in the granite and plaque nearby regarding my dad, and 1921-1965."

"We're thinking of putting his legendary words, the way he signed off from his radio show on the stone: 'This is not goodbye, it's just good night.' "

The senior Freed's urn is already at Lake View, but not on view to the public. Lance Freed hopes to have the new memorial created


by late March or early April, around the time of the annual Moondog Coronation Ball.

It was the first Moondog ball in 1952 at the Cleveland Arena that helped establish rock 'n' roll as a cultural force to be reckoned with – and Freed's importance in the culture.

Freed's ashes were originally brought to Cleveland from the Ferncliff Memorial Mausoleum in Hartsdale, New York, where they had been interred since his death at age 43 in 1965. They went on display at the Rock Hall in 2002, under the leadership of then-CEO Terry Stewart.

Lance Freed said that the family believed the Rock Hall would permanently keep his father's urn and ashes, as part of their Alan Freed exhibit. But current CEO Greg Harris asked that the family remove them inincrease in station operating expenses and a 0.8% increase in total operating expenses in the third quarter of 2014 compared with the same period in 2013.

Commenting on the results, George G. Beasley, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We don't believe third quarter operating results from continuing operations reflect the strength, ratings and local relevance of our platform, as the lower level of reported net revenue from continuing operations is temporarily mis-matched with certain expenses that will be better amortized across the Company's larger revenue base once we complete the asset exchange with CBS Radio.

Froggy, 38, a radio personality on the syndicated Elvis Duran Morning Show , had these and many other symptoms. But, because the changes were so gradual, it wasn’t until ten years after the symptoms began that he sought a diagnosis.

In 2010, Froggy learned he had acromegaly, commonly known as pituitary adenoma. The name "acromegaly" comes from the Greek words for "extremities" (acro) and "great" (megaly). Acromegaly affects just 50 to 70 people per million, according to Dr. LaurenceKennedy, chairman of the endocrinology department at the Cleveland Clinic and Froggy’s doctor.

In acromegaly, a benign tumor grows on a person’s pituitary gland, causing the gland to release excess growth hormone.

Froggy (whose real name is Scott) sat down with Healthline to talk about his strange experience.

According Chicagoland Radio&Media, she will be away from the radio airwaves for a while longer as she bravely battles cancer in her breast and brain.

While seeking medical advice for pains in her back, doctors found Reed had breast cancer. That cancer has spread and tumors have been found in her head. Surgery, followed by radiation treatments will begin next week.

A veteran of Chicago radio, Reed spent nearly 12 years at WLIT-FM/The Lite (1989-2001), as well as three years at suburban WAUR-FM and WYSY-FM


(1986-1989).

Filling in for Megan Reed on Chicago's 100.3 has been weekender Lisa Kosty, who joined the station earlier this year. Kosty had been with WUSN-FM/US99.5 as an occasional on-air host and its full-time morning show producer for nearly ten years before her release in November 2013.

J.P. Rochardson 'The Big Bopper'

Richardson worked part-time at Beaumont, Texas, radio station KTRM (now KZZB). He was hired by the station full-time in 1949 and quit college. Richardson was promoted to Supervisor of Announcers at KTRM in 1953.

InMarch 1955, he was drafted into the United States Army and did his basic training at Fort Ord, California. He spent the rest of his two-years' service as a radar instructor at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas.

Following his discharge in March 1957, Richardson returned to KTRM radio, where he held down the "Dishwashers' Serenade" shift from 11 AM to 12:30 PM, Monday through Friday. One of the station's sponsors wanted Richardson for a new time slot and suggested an idea for a show. Richardson had seen the college students doing a dance called The Bop, and he decided to call himself "The Big Bopper". His new radio show ran from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm Richardson soon became the station's program director.

In May 1957, he broke the


record for continuous on-air broadcasting by 8 minutes. From a remote setup in the lobby of the Jefferson Theatre in downtown Beaumont, Richardson performed for a total of five days, two hours, and eight minutes, playing 1,821 records and taking showers during 5-minute newscasts.

Anthony played country music at WJRZ (later WWDJ) in Hackensack, N.J., from 1970 until 1971 when he began a 10-year stint at WTFM New York. During a labour strike at WTFM in 1981, Anthony picked up part-timework at WHLI Hempstead, N.Y. He stayed there 22 years, twice being named program director of the year by Barnstable Broadcasting.

He was so well-liked that WHLI held a 10-hour tribute to him on the fifth anniversary of his death. For years, Anthony played "I Think of You" by Perry Como every day at 12:40 p.m., and the station continued that practice in his memory.

Anthony was also one of the original jocks during the '60's hey days of NYC radio at WMCA (Aircheck:Click Here) . Known by his listeners as 'Dean-O On The Radio' he was an original "WMCA Good Guy" who welcomed the Beatles, Rolling Stones, plus the entire Motown and British Invasion into the "Big Apple", as well as into the USA.

Morris will stay on through the election.

Station operations manager Andy Bloom said he did not have any plans to replace Morris as of yet and could not comment on whether the station would go in a different direction now that Morris has left.

CBS Radio Philadelphia Senior Vice President and Market Manager Marc Rayfield said he had known about Morris' timeline for awhile. "He has done a great job for WPHT and we knew his busy schedule might one day make doing a daily radio show difficult," he said via e-mail.

Rayfield said the station will make an announcement about Morris' replacement as soon as next week.

Eli Manning "is in the building and will return to practice today," the Giants' official Twitter account proclaimed minutes ago.

Manning was unable to finish practice on Wednesday because of a stomach bug. Tom Coughlin was hoping it was the 24-hour variety and that appears to be the case. So far, there are no indications Manning's bug has spread, though that bears watching.

Wednesday marked the first time all season Manning was listed on the team's injury report. It's unclear at this point if he'll work fully today.

It was announced by Sydney FC that Colosimo had signed a two-year deal, and he joined the club from the start of the 2008–09 season.[6] Colosimo became a standout performer as a centreback, with consistent performances impressing through the new 2009–10 season. On 31 March 2010, the defender switched clubs to Melbourne Heart, along with his teammates Clint Bolton and John Aloisi.[7] He became the captain of


the new club and scored one goal in their debut season, an important equaliser against Adelaide in the final minutes of the game, which Heart triumphed 2–1 in stoppage time.

Colosimo first entered the Australian national selection framework at Under-20 level in 1997 while at the AIS. This led quickly to a national team debut in 1998 against Fiji at just 19 years of age. He remained in the national focus, selected as part of the squad at the 1999 FIFA World Youth Championship.

Later that year he was called up by then Socceroo manager Raul Blanco to make an appearance in the Socceroo's friendly against Manchester United on 18 July at the MCG. What started as a spirited game finished in horror for Simon, as Andy Cole lunged intoa tackle with his leg raised and studs showing, felling the Australian midfielder in full-flight.[9] Simon was stretchered off in pain by stewards, and was diagnosed with having sustained tears to his anterior cruciate and medial ligaments, needing a complete knee reconstruction. He underwent surgery soon after, which included his anterior cruciate being replaced with a piece of his hamstring tendon. A rehabilitation process began, in which Simon would not kick a ball for six months. There was talk at the time of impending legal action against Cole by Carlton's General Manager Lou Sticca,[10] though no formal proceedings were ever entered into.

Following his recovery, he was selected for the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, and was part of the national team squad for the 2005 Confederations Cup. Colosimo


Mother-of three Sian Hollands died due to 'failure of doctors' Published duration 10 April 2017

A mother who died hours after being told she was ready to leave hospital could have lived if doctors had treated her properly, a coroner has said.

Sian Hollands, 25, died from a pulmonary embolism at Darent Valley Hospital in Kent in November 2015.

Gravesend Coroner's Court heard the condition of the former drug user was put down to withdrawal.

Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust apologised and said the inquest highlighted weaknesses in her care.

The inquest was told Ms Hollands went to the hospital complaining of breathing difficulties and chest and stomach pain.

She had suffered an ectopic pregnancy three weeks earlier.

The inquest heard theformer drug user was taking methadone to treat her addiction, but had stopped for a few days.

Ms Hollands was given an electrocardiogram (ECG) and methadone and was then told she was being discharged.

The hearing was told her partner refused to take her home because she was still unwell, and Ms Hollands had a cardiac arrest in hospital.

Recording a narrative verdict, Coroner Roger Hatch said: "The death of Sian Hollands was due to the failures of the doctors at the Darent Valley Hospital in Dartford to examine, diagnose and treat her for pulmonary embolism following her admission to the hospital.

"Had they done so, on the balance of probability, she would not have died."

media caption Ebony Hollands speaking about her sister's death

After the hearing, Ms Hollands' family issued a statement


which said they were "shocked and devastated" by the findings.

The statement said: "Sian was judged, labelled and ignored."

It said: "Sian was a loved young woman in her prime who leaves behind three young children who struggle every day without their mummy.

"The family hopes that no other family will have to walk in their shoes."

In a statement, Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust said: "We continue to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of Sian Hollands.

"We apologise to the family that Sian did not receive the level of care that she was entitled to expect when she came into A&E in November 2015.

"The inquest has highlighted a number of weaknesses in the way that her care was delivered."

The trust said it would be complying with the coroner'sMOSCOW -- Iran's national team was always going to face a difficult challenge in trying to compete with more established nations at the World Cup, but suddenly there is a new obstacle for its players: what to put on their feet.

With just days until their opening match against Morocco, the Iranian players are scrambling to settle their footwear situation after Nike, which had previously supplied the team with boots, said it would not do so for this tournament because of global economic sanctions against the Asian country.

The backdrop to the development is the Trump administration's recent decision to withdraw from the international nuclear deal made three years ago, and to intensify the restrictions against Iran.

In a statement, Nike said, "U.S. sanctions mean that, as a U.S. company, Nike
