Ironically, she in turn tries to force her version of feminism on Offred. “She expected me to vindicate her life …” Offred says. “[But] I didn't want to live my life on her terms. I didn't want to be the model offspring, the incarnation of her ideas.” In one troubling event when Offred was young, her mother lied to her, saying they were going to the park to feed the ducks, when she was really meeting up with her feminist friends to burn pornographic magazines.

In view of our determination that Merchants' truck drivers are independent contractors excluded from coverage under the NLRA by § 2(3) of the Act, 29 U.S.C. § 152(3), we do not reach the issues of successorship and majority status.

Facts

4
For approximately nine years, from the mid-1960's through 1975, Penney had its merchandise delivered by Compton.  By 1974, Penney, which also stored its merchandise in a warehouse owned by Compton, was Compton's primary client, accounting for 95% Of its delivery business.  In making the deliveries, Compton used its own trucks and the drivers and helpers on the trucks were Compton employees.  These drivers


were represented by the union during this period and operated under collective bargaining agreements negotiated after Compton recognized the union.

5
In June of 1975 Merchants, which delivered for Penney in other parts of the country, submitted a proposal to Penney in St. Louis, promising better and cheaper service as well as "(n)o unions."  According to Merchants, the key to its competitive edge was its consistent practice of engaging only drivers who owned their own equipment to make the deliveries, as opposed to hiring employees to drive company trucks.  Penney thereupon warned Compton that its bid would have to be significantly reduced if it were to retain the delivery contract when it came up for renewal and suggested that ADC, an owner-operator delivery company formed by Compton's principalsin 1970, submit a bid.  ADC accordingly submitted a bid for payment on a per-stop basis, and was notified on July 22, 1975, that its bid had been accepted.  Compton's contract was subsequently cancelled.

6
On July 28, 1975, Billie Hunt, the president of both Compton and ADC, met with his drivers, helpers and other employees to inform them of Compton's loss of the contract.  Three days later he again met with the drivers and helpers to tell them that they would have the first opportunity to become owner-operators for ADC.  Of the nine owner-operators signed up by ADC, five were ex-Compton employees, and three more ex-Compton employees worked as helpers on ADC's Penney delivery trucks.  Compton laid off a total of twenty employees as


a result of the loss of its Penney contract, but did not go out of business, since it still had a contract with Penney for warehousing services and performed intermittent delivery service with three trucks which had not been sold or leased to ADC's new contingent of owner-operators.2  ADC's success in winning the Penney contract was short-lived, however.  Evidently as a result of unfair labor practice charges filed by the union against Compton and ADC,3 Penney negotiated a hasty contract with Merchants in January 1976 and cancelled its agreement with ADC.

7
Understandably concerned about their future, ADC's Penney drivers contacted an attorney by the name of Terry Peebles, who had earlier assisted them in incorporating and making other arrangements to lease or buy the trucks they usedwhen they signed on with ADC.  Peebles called Penney, who referred him to Merchants.  Merchants, of course, needed to sign up owner-operators to fulfill its contract with Penney, and was particularly interested in taking on persons familiar with Penney operations.  Accordingly Walter Carson, Merchants' operations manager, set up a meeting with the drivers at Peebles' office and discussed Merchants' terms of hiring.  He also passed out "applications for employment,"4 although he stressed that persons selected were not to consider themselves employees of Merchants.  Some days later, Carson called the drivers up again and arranged a meeting on January 12, 1976, in Penney's conference room where, after expressing some dissatisfaction with the rates they would be earning, and after consulting with their attorney Peebles,


for the complete assumption of responsibility in respect thereto, by the lessee.  . . . ."  This is also in conflict with the Truckman's Agreement, which states that the owner-operator "will direct the operation of his equipment in all respects."8  The parties also agreed that the leased equipment "shall not be utilized by either the Lessor or the Lessee except in the service of Lessee in accordance with appropriate operating authority.  . . ."  The owner-operator is to perform certain services "on behalf of the Lessee," namely, to keep the truck washed, painted and maintained to the satisfaction of Merchants and its shipper (Penney), to pay all personal property taxes, gasoline, oil, etc., and to keep the truck in good mechanical condition. third truck is used on Merchants' business about one-third of the time, and sits idle the rest of the time.  When Greenwald and Holleran are both out driving, they hire their own assistants without Merchants' approval, and pay them on a per-stop basis, after deductions for taxes.

18
Sandau, which runs the shuttle for Merchants, has a total of eight employees and handles warehousing and deliveries for one store other than Penney, and delivers for a third store under the auspices of ADC.  At the time of the hearing, it owned two trucks and was planning to buy a third, and also leased two trucks from Compton leasing.  On one occasion Sandau used one of the trucks leased to Merchants for some non-Merchants business.  Kombol usually

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada syndrome is a rare disease that occurs commonly in pigmented individuals of Asian origin. A 25-year female presented in medical outpatient department (OPD) of Al-Khidmat Teaching Hospital, Mansoora, Lahore with headache and neck stiffness. She was referred to eye OPD for the complaint of decreased vision. On examination, there was 6/24 vision, sluggish pupillary reaction and disc hyperemia in both eyes. She was treated as a case of optic neuritis. Few days later, she developed bilateral panuveitis, shallow exudative detachments and alopecia.

BLUE ICE on Lake Superior at Little Girl's Point, north of Ironwood, is a common winter occurrence, but it usually occurs in late February or March. On Sunday, there was plenty of blue ice piled up not far from shore.

In what has turned into one of the most brutal area winters in modern history, the Gogebic Range on Monday shared in the bone-chilling cold that hit much of the Midwest.

Area schools canceled classes Monday as the overnight low dipped to -20 degrees across the Gogebic Range, with gusting winds sending wind chill readings to 40-below. Many school districts also canceled classes for today.

The blue ice that arrived near shore at Little Girl's Point on Lake Superior over the weekend looked soothing, but intermittent


snowfall accompanied the bitter cold along the lakeshore.

The 3 inches of snow that fell on Ironwood for the 24-hour period to 7 a.m. Monday was whipped around by the wind, creating white-out conditions for drivers Sunday evening and into early Monday.

It was even colder at Big Powderhorn Mountain, near Bessemer, where the chairlifts were shut down because of a -39 degree wind chill reading just after noon, with winds out of the north at 20 mph.

Area law enforcement officers investigated dozens of weekend accidents, including some involving personal injuries.

The Justice Department has demanded that the social media giant had over information from three accounts which were used to organise anti-Trump protests on inauguration day.

Should the department be successful it would be able to identify thousands of people who "liked" the Facebook pages.

Donald Trump's inauguration in January was marked with violent protests which saw 217 demonstrators arrested and six police officers injured.

At one point demonstrators smashed windows and hammered on windows of limousines as they passed by.

Police used smoke bombs to disperse the crowds.

The Department of Justice argues that the website DisruptJ20.org, was used to organize "a violent riot."


Democratic approval trailing Republicans by 10 percentage points.

By the following September, though? Democratic approval of Bush was under 50 percent, 42 points lower than the approval of Republicans. Part of that was because of Bush’s increased focus on Iraq, beginning in his State of the Union address in January 2002. Part of it had to do with the daily ins and outs of politics.

Right after the 2001 terrorist attacks, The Washington Post and ABC News polled Americans to get a sense of their attitudes about Bush and the attacks. We found that, among other things, Americans were broadly supportive of engaging in military conflict, though those attitudes waned as the possible side effects of conflict were raised.

19 Then the angel of God, who had been leading the people of Israel, moved to the rear of the camp.

Of all the Egyptians who had chased the Israelites into the sea, not a single one survived.

PREPARED PATRIOT 08/12/2017 NWO PROMOTING 'DEATH' TO U.S.A.!

Picture the following hypothetical scenario….

The New World Order empowers Barack Hussein as the leader of a shadow government (the Deep State), bankrolling him with a trillion-dollar investment. The objective is to destabilize the Trump administration by impeaching the President and causing the mass resignation of his Cabinet and GOP Congressional leaders. The stage is set overseas by having betrayed Israel at the UN and funding Iran with hundreds of millions of dollars. It creates turmoil in the Middle East (instigated by a Hamas/Hezbollah intifada against Israel) that compromises American military resources.

Socialist insurgents proceed to stage mass demonstrations in major cities and campuses across the country, making the world believe the USA is on the brink of civil war.


Vandalism and arson result in astronomical insurance losses ranging into the billions, neutralizing Trump’s miraculous cure on Wall Street. Federal and State law enforcement resources are overwhelmed, allowing for gangs across the country to implement ‘Everything Must Go’ narcotic sales. Drug abuse hits record highs, and the social impact is devastating. Gang warfare spreads like the plague as dealers attempt to seize control of the markets.

Terror attacks are instigated throughout the nation. CNN and other leftist media outlets are declaring the nation is in a state of anarchy.

The controversy over whether to try terrorists in military tribunals or civilian courts popped up in two news stories on Senate races.

It comes as no surprise that conservative Marco Rubio, running for Senate from Florida, denounced the switch to civilian trials in a speech to the Conservative Political Action Committee conference, as reported by Philip Rucker in the WaPo.

More surprising is the position taken by Connecticut AG Richard Blumenthal, likely Democratic candidate to succeed Christopher Dodd. John Fund notes in the WSJ,

Two weeks ago, Mr. Blumenthal took strong issue with the Obama Justice
Department's decision to hold civilian trials for terrorists in
Manhattan. "My position is very different from the administration's,"
he said, adding that he favored military tribunals rather than civilian
courts to try both the 9/11


conspirators and the Christmas Day bomber

Military commissions and civilian trials don't have to be mutually exclusive. They're both tools in the war on terror. Miranda, on the other hand, seems a bit out of place. Miranda is a prophylactic rule, not required by the Constitution. Why do terrorists get the benefit of it?

On reflection, it may not be surprising that Mr. Blumenthal prefers military tribunals. Blumenthal is the state Attorney General, and thus literally follows in the footsteps of the soon-to-be senior Senator from Connectuicut, Joe Lieberman, who also was the state AG. Senator Lieberman is justly known for his sober and thoughtful views on the terrorist threat.ground lamb, rice, and spices slowly boiled in lemony water.

A man shot at a Sunset Hills police officer Saturday during a police chase that started in the suburb and ended with the car in which he was a passenger crashing in Carondelet Park in south St. Louis.

The man and the car’s driver, a woman, were taken into custody. No one was injured.

The man, Christopher Keown, 41, of the 6900 block of Bonanza Drive in the House Springs area, was charged with first-degree assault, armed criminal action and interfering with a felony arrest. Cassandra Williams, 49, of the 8400 block of Water Street in St. Louis, was charged with interfering with a felony arrest.

To determine the time required to sufficiently educate a well-trained surgeon to perform tonsillectomy. From July 1, 2000 to June 30, 2008, we analyzed 110 patients who underwent bilateral tonsillectomy. All the procedures were performed by 16 ENT surgeons trained in the same tertiary referral medical center during their residency. This training included a 4-year training program before 2002, and a 5-year training program thereafter. We stratiﬁed the patients into groups according to each surgeon's residency year at the time the operations were performed. Operation time, estimated blood loss and length of hospital stay of these patients were compared by the surgeon's residency year and by different training program of residency. There was a trend of decreased operation time in the senior year of residency,


especially for 5th year surgeons, without reaching statistical significance. When comparing different training program, the operation time was statistically shorter in the 5-year training program than in the 4-year training program. However, no difference was noted in estimated blood loss and hospital stay length. The operation time of residents in the 5-year training program was shorter than that of residents in the 4-year training program, which implies that extending the training program by one year may improve the quality of training.2189 cases (782 deaths) of MERS-COV around the world were reported to World Health Organization from September 2012 to March 2018.

Footage of an Asian elephant “smoking” in a forest in southern India has baffled wildlife experts, who say the behaviour has never before been observed.

Vinay Kumar, a scientist with the Wildlife Conservation Society’s (WCS) India programme, captured the puffing pachyderm while visiting camera traps in the Nagarahole national park in Karnataka state.

Biologists from the WCS said the footage, shot in April 2016 but only recently posted online, was “the first known video documentation of a wild elephant exhibiting such behaviour, and has scientists and experts puzzled”.

The installation with an annual capacity of more than 2Mt of cement is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2007. Holcim will assume management and sourcing of raw materials for NCF. The partnership with important local investors provides a strong basis for future growth. Holcim has a call option agreement to increase its stake in NCF after the first full year of production.

8, 1994, and having reviewed the voluminous pleadings, exhibits, deposition testimony, affidavits and the applicable law, the Court finds that the United States' Motion for Summary Judgment is meritorious rendering Morvant's Motion for Summary Judgment moot. Finally, Morvant's Motion to Dismiss is without merit as well.

BACKGROUND
Dr. Drew Movant practices dentistry as a professional dental corporation. He owns his professional corporation and is its president and sole director.
The Department of Justice, under the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA"), 42 U.S.C.A. §§ 12101-12213 (West Supp.1994) filed suit against Dr. Morvant, personally, and his dental corporation for refusing to provide dental care to Ismael Pena, Russell Hodgkinson, and other persons with HIV or AIDS, solely on the basis of their HIV-positive status. The United States contends that it is entitled toaffidavit of Pena, in November of 1992, Dunne told Morvant that Pena had AIDS. Morvant at that time mentioned that his hygienist had noticed thrush in Pena's mouth before, but thought it was the flu. In February of 1993, Pena attempted to make an appointment with Morvant and was told that he would no longer be able to provide services. Pena and Dunne both contend that Morvant told each separately that he could not keep his staff if he required them to treat AIDS patients. Without examining Pena's mouth or contacting Pena's treating physician to consult about his medical condition, Morvant referred Pena to Dr. Kathryn Creely Sturm ("Sturm"), who Morvant contends specializes in the treatment of AIDS/HIV patients. Morvant contends that he referred Pena to Sturm because


Furthermore, it is clear that but for the disabilityAID/HIVhe would not have "referred" these two persons to a "specialist."
Morvant counters this argument by contending that the disease/disability itself created specialized complications requiring the referral. The Government contends that this is simply a false premise.
To that end, the Government has presented the declaration of Enid A. Neidle, Ph.D. This expert holds a Ph.D. in physiology from the College of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia University and is currently a Senior Consultant to the Dean and Director of the Office of Research Administration at the Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery.

On Tuesday, March 22, the city of Brussels was reduced to shambles. While the news about Belgium was being broadcast worldwide, every station was discussing the attacks. Every news anchor gave his or her reflections and prayers and the entire world was in a state shock and grief. No one was able to fathom what had just happened.

Within a few moments of the attacks, my phone was blowing up with CNN notifications of the constant reports of the number of injured, as these numbers were steadily increasing. A couple of hours later, ISIS took full responsibility for the suicide bombs they had plotted, according to a New York Times article from Tuesday, March 22.

Opening Ceremony
The 2010 Asian Para Games opening ceremony was held at 8:00pm China Standard Time (UTC+8) on 12 December in the Guangdong Olympic Stadium. The ceremony's artistic section "A Beautiful World" (美丽的世界) was supervised by director-in-chief Zhu Jianwei and included more than 4600 performers, among whom 300 were disabled. Zhu described the ceremony as an emotional event which highlighted the power of love, family and people with a disability.

The opening ceremony was attended by Chinese Vicecursing Lawler as he (Kaufmann) stormed out of the studio.

The antics of Lawler and Kaufman made the NBC network executives uneasy, believing that the hatred between the two was real and that mayhem could break out at any time. Kaufman and Lawler kept claiming that their hatred and actions were real, but they were later revealed to have been a staged "work", as the two were actually friends. The truth about it being a work was kept secret for more than 10 years after Kaufman's death until the Emmy nominated documentary A Comedy Salute to Andy Kaufman aired on NBC in 1995. In a 1997 interview with the Memphis Flyer, Lawler claimed he had improvised during their first match and the Letterman incident. Although officials at St. Francis

The petition for a restraining order filed by the Eshtaol Cooperative Society at the Jerusalem District Court by Advocates Prof. Avi Weinroth and Ariel Dinovetskey, asserts that in 2006, the Eshtaol Cooperative Society obtained an option under Israel Land Council Resolution 717 to build an industrial park on a 57-dunam (14.25-acre) parcel of land on the moshav near Highway 38 at the approaches to Beit Shemesh.

In order to finance and carry out the project, the moshav contracted an investment agreement with YD Barazani in December 2006, whereby the latter would build the project. Under the agreement, YD Barazani's share in the joint company founded with the moshav for


building the industrial park was 74%, while Eshataol's share was 26%. The petition states that soon after this agreement was signed, YD Barazani declared its intention of building the project within three years - a project that would have provided the moshav with a long-term source of income.

The moshav asserts that what actually happened was that 12 years passed without YD Barazani constructing a single building on the land or anything changing there. The moshav adds that YD Barazani tried for a long time to sell its share of the company and exit the deal with a profit. The petition alleges that the moshav recently learned that YD Barazani had contracted an agreement in July 2017 with Mega Or, controlled by Tzahi Nahmias, and the Bronfman-Fisher partnership toitself in a minority position in the company, in which a partnership is being forced on it with known real estate sharks," the moshav states in its petition, and mentions that there is an agreement between Mega Or and the Bronfman-Fisher partnership to buy the land in order to construct IKEA branches in Israel, and that an IKEA branch was built in Beer Sheva on this format, among other things.

Indeed the moshav claims in its petition that the parties combined with lack of good faith in order to deny the moshav's basic refusal right, with Barazani gaining a huge profit and the new buyers forcing themselves on the moshav, while at the same time initiating press reports about the construction of an IKEA branch on Eshtaol's land in


order to create an accomplished fact, while ignoring the moshav's rights. "This is an extremely grave act, because even if this partnership had some right in the company, the rental agreement between the company and another company (IKEA) is clearly a party at interest transaction requiring the moshav's consent. The buyers are therefore treating the moshav as if it were air."

RELATED ARTICLES

Last January, a meeting took place between representatives of the moshav and the new buyers, at which it was made clear to the buyers that the moshav had not waived its refusal right, and that the sale of shares in the industrial park company could not be completed without the moshav's consent. In addition, the representatives made it clear that there was a possibility of the buyersand mouth-watering menu in the cosy and intimate dining room.

Remember the days when exotic meant 'Chilled Melon with a touch of Port'? Well, those days are alive and well at Shezan, a once-pioneering restaurant, which has apparently not changed its menu in three decades. Other comic highlights of the starters menu include mulligatawny soup and avocado shrimp.
This is a real shame, for Shezan was the original gourmet Indian restaurant, which opened people’s eyes to the possibilities of authentic cooking methods and paved the way for the superb cuisine of places like Chor Bizarre and Quilon. During the 1970s it became the only restaurant to receive the coveted Egon Ronay award and Restaurant of the Year Award in the same year.
And to be fair,this remains a perfectly decent curry house. At £10-15 for a main course, prices are well above average for Indian food, but not so high considering the Knightsbridge location. A mixed dish of items from the Tandoor was carefully prepared and included faultlessly succulent Changezi Chaap (marinated lamb chops). Chicken Jalfrezi was perhaps a little underspiced for the cosmopolitain modern palate, but the Tarka Dal was addictively smooth. Bland but soothing décor was accompanied by some fantastic piped music (when was the last time you heard Minnie Ripperton on a curryhouse stereo?) and the service was faultless. Though Shezan does not have the slick style of its gourmet rivals, it combines 1970s retro charm with good, basic Indian cooking.

Dozens of protesters marching in the Yemeni capital, Sanaa, have been beaten back by Houthi rebels who control the capital, witnesses said.

The rebels fired automatic rifles in the air and struck the anti-Houthi protesters with batons and knives, AP news agency reported on Wednesday.

The witnesses said the rebels detained several protesters and journalists, and that around 10 people were lightly wounded in scuffles.

Yemeni newspaper Source Online said that one of its journalists was being held by the Houthis, adding that it considered the group responsible for his safety.

The Houthis seized Sanaa in September and last week put the president, prime minister and top Cabinet members under house arrest, leading to their resignation.

Since then, demonstrations against the Houthis have been held. The rebels detained around a dozen protesters andto retire.

Cape Town: Wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist set a one-day international world record of six catches to help Australia square their three-match series against South Africa at Newlands on Friday.

Australia won the second game by five wickets, restricting South Africa to 144 for nine in 50 overs and then recovering from 21 for three to sweep to success at 145 for five in 24.3 overs.

The opening day-night game in Durban on Wednesday went to South Africa by six wickets, and the final contest is in Johannesburg on Sunday.

Gilchrist was aided by tight bowling and loose batting as he beat the previous best of five victims in a one-dayer which was shared by 18 wicketkeepers who between them achieved it a total of 26 times.

Africa's batsmen did themselves no favours by playing expansively against the polished Australian bowlers on a pitch of good bounce, with eight men falling to close catches.

Glenn McGrath was in miserly form, taking two for 13 in 10 immaculate overs, while fellow paceman Brett Lee was the top wicket-taker with three for 32.

Opener Gary Kirsten, who scored 34, and Neil McKenzie, with 22, shared the biggest stand of the innings -- 39 for the second wicket.

Lance Klusener's unbeaten 34 off 54 balls was the most aggressive batting.

Pace bowling all-rounder Jacques Kallis kept South Africa's hopes alive by dismissing Gilchrist, Mark Waugh and Shane Lee in the space of nine deliveries, reducing Australia to 21 for three in the fourth over.

innings. Just as it looked as though his time had surely past, Pakistan's team management stood firmly behind Kamran, and his younger brother Umar - the only alternative behind the stumps - picked up a finger injury. There are doubts over whether Umar will play, even just as a batsman, which would deprive Pakistan of their second-highest run-scorer in the tournament and means they are likely to persist with the eight-batsman strategy. Up against a Zimbabwe side that has failed to match the scrapping resilience of some of their past World Cup outfits, Pakistan can expect an immediate revival in their fortunes. A win would take them to eight points, level with New Zealand in the Group A table.

Among the carnage that wasPakistan's fielding effort against New Zealand, Umar Gul stood out. Finding swing first up and reverse swing later he carries the seam attack.

Brendan Taylor has provided the iconic shot of a lacklustre Group A with his take on the upper cut. In the first World Cup since the Twenty20 revolution really took hold, it displays the huge challenges facing modern bowlers. Outside of that, his classic, upright driving a tight defence make him Zimbabwe's best player, and for a while against Sri Lanka he looked as good as any top-order batsman in the tournament. Pakistan's bowlers have folded under the pressure of a Taylor before and if Brendan can get going Zimbabwe may yet spring a surprise.

Team news

If Umar Akmal misses out, there is a likely recall for


Asad Shafiq, while Ahmed Shehzad can expect to hold his place despite making 36 runs from his four outings. Shoaib Akhtar's woeful effort against New Zealand will prompt calls for Wahab Riaz's inclusion.

Ross Taylor found the boundaries small enough to clear seven times in his unbeaten 131 against Pakistan and Sri Lanka coasted to 327 against Zimbabwe last Thursday. It's harder for the team batting second under lights, so the toss is important.

When Republican Ben Sasse was elected in an upset win two years ago, few would have predicted he would become the public face of an underground movement to oust his party's standard-bearer for the presidency.

But that's the unenviable position the Nebraska senator has found himself in, as one of just two elected Republicans to openly refuse to back Donald Trump in his bid for the White House. "I can't support someone that I don't think would take the oath of office in good faith," Senator Sasse told the Washington Post .

Sasse openly shares his disgust with Trump on Twitter and with reporters, but behind closed doors the #nevertrump movement is swelling in support to replace the billionaire with a more palatable candidate.

It's now five weeks since Trump allbut clinched the nomination and, publicly at least, the major Republican powerbrokers have all fallen into line behind the man who would stop Hillary Clinton becoming president.

But a series of missteps have seen Trump's popularity plunge to the lowest level of any major presidential candidate in recent history, a fact he himself has been forced to confront by firing his campaign manager yesterday.

It is near-impossible to give Trump the boot at the looming Republican National Convention (RNC) in July, where Trump’s candidacy will be officially confirmed.

In spite of this, the #nevertrump camp is garnering support.

Operatives behind the scenes are reportedly searching for loopholes to allow Trump's delegates to defect and support another candidate.

LAS VEGAS - Republican Nevada state Assemblywoman Michele Fiore has filed paperwork to run for Congress.

Fiore registered Wednesday with Clark County to get her name on the November ballot.

She’s seeking to represent southern Nevada’s 3rd Congressional District, covering the Summerlin area of northwest Las Vegas and Henderson.

Republican Rep. Joe Heck holds the seat, but is running for U.S. Senate.

Fiore is an outspoken, two-term state lawmaker best known for her love of guns, support for Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy and her recent intervention to coax the last remaining occupier from a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon.

The congressional race to replace Heck is crowded with Republican contenders, including Nevada Senate Majority Leader Michael Roberson, unsuccessful 2012 congressional candidate Danny Tarkanian and former Nevada Policy Research Institute executive Andy Matthews.Here are today's minor moves and outright assignments from around the league…

   Patrol Officer Stien, a six-year veteran of the Rockford,
Illinois, police department, testified to the following
version of events. As he approached the residence,
he heard a disturbance on the west side of the house
that he said sounded like either “glass breaking” or a “door
opening.” As Stien and Cebuhar walked Dean to the
squad car after Dean had been apprehended, Stien asked
Dean if anyone else was in the house, and Dean replied
no. Cebuhar asked Dean about the stolen rifles, and
Dean granted the officers permission to retrieve the
guns from the front closet. Stien also mentioned that the
house had a broken window and that Dean cooperated
with him, and also stated that suspect Dean had a cut
on one of his legs. Attorney Sullivan cross-examined
Stien about the nature of the sound he hearda window repairman who
said he had never met Dean. Taylor testified that on the
Saturday before the hearing he had inspected Dean’s
residence and concluded that none of the windows on
the west side had recently been broken. A friend of
Dean’s, Melvin Bradley, testified that he secured Dean’s
house after his arrest and did not observe any broken
window. Finally, Dean testified that he climbed through
a window on the west side without breaking it; after he
was caught, Dean said, one of the officers said he had
come for the guns, but Dean made no response to the
officer’s statement. On cross-examination Dean main-
tained that he injured his leg when he fell while running
from his residence and not from climbing through a

power consumption at Okazaki Plant. The stored energy can also be used in the event of a power outage.

Soon after launching the all-electric i-MiEV car in 2009, Mitsubishi introduced demonstrations and pilot projects for homes and car dealerships powered by EVs and electric-car batteries.

At this year’s Geneva Motor Show, Mitsubishi showed its Dendo Drive House, an energy system allowing owners to generate, store, and energy automatically between their cars and home. The two-way vehicle-to-grid system was offered to its EV and plug-in hybrid customers in Japan and Europe in October.

The Mitsubishi projects are hardly the only examples of effective secondary use of EV batteries.

In May, BELECTRIC, a German solar and battery company, completed a 1.9MWh energy storage system using second-life electric-vehicle batteries from Audi. The Berlin-based system uses20 batteries from test vehicles owned by Audi. The project was built at the EUREF Campus, a high-tech, low carbon innovation center.

In June 2019, used Nissan Leaf batteries were deployed to a half-dozen sports stadiums in Europe. In the same month, Rivian sent used pickup truck battery packs as an energy storage system to create microgrids in parts of Puerto Rico impacted by Hurricane Maria in 2017.

More recently, in October, Renault began building the largest proposed stationary electricity storage system using EV batteries in Germany. The project aims to create at least 60MWh of capacity using more than 2,000 EV batteries.

When Mitsubishi’s new project is completed in May 2020, the solar-plus-EV-battery system will be one of the largest rooftop PV system projects in Japan.

Understanding history rests largely on a grasp of two things: sequence and context. Know which events came earlier and which later, and you’ve gone a long way toward understanding influence and causation. Know what was going on in the wider world at the same time a historical event occurred, and you’ll better grasp the meaning and significance of that event for the people who experienced it. Yet even with the best history textbooks students have difficulty in gaining an immediate sense of sequence and context. Hence the purpose of


this book: To lay out the most important events in the history of the Wesleyan/Methodist movement, to show them in their proper order, and to include the most important occurrences taking place on the national and international stages at the same time.

Today, only about 200 of the original 709 units are occupied as the development is being rebuilt.A wave of fires swept through major cities in the United States through the 1800s and early 1900s, leading wood-framed architecture to be deemed unsafe for increasingly dense urban environments. Houses continued to employ wood, but cities and developers began to shun the material. They turned instead to masonry, aluminum and steel to build more fire-resistant and ever-taller structures. But wood is making a comeback, thanks to new building technologies, fire safety innovations and a growing interest in eco-friendly design.

At just over 170 feet, the recently completed Brock Commons Tallwood House currently holds the record for the world’s tallest timber-framed building. Glue-laminated timber (or: glulam) columns, beams and floorboards are the primary structural elements — these hybrid wood products are much stronger than ordinary cut lumber. Glulam supports


Banksy's month-long 'residency' on the streets of New York City continues to produce marvellous and witty artworks, with the latest additions including a patched-up, balloon-shaped heart and a mobile truck delivering "calm" across the Big Apple.

According to the artist's website, his delivery truck appeared this weekend and will tour New York City. The vehicle has been turned into a garden oasis of sorts, and is inspired by John Steinbeck's classic American novel The Grapes of Wrath.

A self-deprecating audio guide on the website introduces the work as follows: "The artist claims to have been inspired to create this piece after listening to a poem by Keats. Sorry, I misread that… The artist was p***** when he made this and it's incomplete."

The graffiti-covered truck boasts, "…a digitally remastered sunset thatfirst glance it appears consistent with a basaltic composition," Wiens said.

"What's more interesting, however, is whether the rock had dust on it or some other kind of surface coating," he said. "ChemCam saw peaks of hydrogen and magnesium during the first shots that we didn't see in subsequent firings. This could mean the rock surface was coated with dust or some other material."

With Coronation's analyses complete, the science team had a chance to pick new targets.

"After Coronation, we got to shoot at a group of ugly-looking rocks in the area named 'Goulburn,'" Wiens said. "That is one of the areas near the rover that was blasted by the thrusters of the landing vehicle, but these rocks were much farther away from the rover than Coronation, providing a bit


more of a test for the ChemCam's laser."

The ChemCam system is one of 10 instruments mounted on the MSL mission's Curiosity rover—a six-wheeled mobile laboratory that will roam more than 12 miles of the planet's surface during the course of one Martian year (98 Earth weeks). The system is designed to capture as many as 14,000 observations throughout the mission.

"We are just jubilant," Wiens said. "This mission is absolutely amazing. Everything is working so well. The same applies to our instrument."

ChemCam's laser, telescope, and camera were provided by the French space agency, CNES, while the spectrometers, electronics, and software were built at Los Alamos National Laboratory, which leads the investigation. The spectrometers were developed with the aid of Ocean Optics, Incorporated, and Jet Propulsion Laboratory assisted with variousaspects of development.

The Curiosity science team plans next to take the rover out for a short spin to test out other systems. As the mission progresses, researchers will study the Martian environment in the vicinity of Mount Sharp, a towering peak with a summit nearly three miles above the rover. Mount Sharp appears to contain layers of sedimentary history dating back several billion years. These layers are like pages of a book that could teach researchers much about the geological history of the planet, including whether the Martian environment ever was, or ever may be, suitable for life as we know it.

of mumps were there in the pre-vaccine era?

Before 1967, when immunization for mumps started, mumps was a universal disease. That means everyone got it.

Mumps was first described by Hippocrates 2, who described in young men swelling around one or both ears, often accompanied by painful swelling of one or both testicles. During World War I, it was the leading cause of days lost from active duty in US troops deployed in France, and was the number three cause of hospitalization (only behind influenza and gonorrhea). Over the 1900s, it was identified as being caused by a virus, and by the 1950s, a vaccine had been developed in the Soviet Union, and by the 1960s, a vaccine had been developed in the United States.

killed at least 30 Kurds. A group of Kurds responded by taking over a local police station, only to relinquish it when Syrian troops and helicopters arrived from Damascus.

Members of Syria’s elite special forces units, which were supposed to have been largely disbanded in 2000 as part of Assad’s short-lived reforms, also reportedly assisted in crushing the Qamoshli rebellion.

DESPITE THE deadly response of Syrian authorities in Qamoshli, the uprising soon spread to the nearby city of Amuda, where statues and murals of Bashar Assad were destroyed, and demonstrators marched in the streets calling for the restoration of human rights and the release of Syrian political prisoners.

The unrest also spread to Syria’s two largest cities, Damascus and Aleppo, albeit on a smaller scale, as a number of impromptu pro-democracyon their behalf to the United Nations.

The desperate measures used by Europe’s Kurds have only drawn more attention to Syria’s ongoing human rights abuses at a time when Assad is looking to strengthen his ties with the European Union.
Even worse for Assad, plans are already being laid by the Kurds for additional protests in Europe, as well as a march in front of the Syrian embassy in Washington, DC, on March 19.

For the Kurds, like for many Syrians, the horrific sights and sounds that accompanied the riots in northern Syria were all too familiar. In 1982, Hafez Assad – the deceased father of Bashar – responded with overwhelming force to an uprising by the Muslim Brotherhood in the central Syrian city of Hama.

The Indiana state Health Department is reporting seven deaths since November from influenza.

In Allen County, two people have died. Jon Silcox, spokesman for the Fort Wayne-Allen County Department of Health, said this year influenza has struck earlier and seems to being hitting people harder than in recent years.

Normally, January and February are the peak months for the flu. The Health Department has been running service announcements and posting signs at local hospitals and in doctors' offices to remind the public to get vaccinated. As in past years, the Department of Health has been out in the community, focusing on at-risk populations, with vaccination clinics.

Dr. Deborah McMahan, Fort Wayne-Allen County Health Commissioner, said doctors' offices have


have foreseen this. Alois Irlmaier is just an excellent example:

“Everything calls peace, Schalom! Then it will occur – a new Middle East war suddenly flames up, big naval forces are facing hostiley in the Mediterranean – the situation is strained. But the actual firing spark is set on fire in the Balkan: I see a “large one” falling, a bloody dagger lies beside him – then impact is on impact. …”

…

When you see the French burning Paris to the ground, not just a few cars and streets, but the entire city, then WW3 is very near.

When you see another conflict on the Balkans, then WW3 is near.

Another sign shortly before WW3 would be the Pope fleeing the Vatican, with most priests getting slaughtered.

Little Yehia, living in Peshawar, Pakistan, of Afghan parents was born with his two main arteries reversed. If that wasn't trouble enough, he also had two holes in his heart. Yehia's parents made contact with a local specialist capable of performing the needed surgery, but the charge was $7,000. Yehia's father sells flour for a living. The family had saved $200, soon eaten up by medical bills. They approached Mr. Zaheer on a trip back to Afghanistan to attend a family wedding, for help.

Mr. Zaheer had once worked on a teacher training project in Nouristan Province and he had come to the notice of Ms. Mussman, then overseeing the project for the


U.S. State Department. After he had contacted her asking for help for the infant, she recalled reading about an Israeli charity that provides free surgeries to children from developing countries.

Yehia's father would not divulge the family name, fearing a backlash for having taken his child to Israel for medical treatment. Thus becoming the first child from Afghanistan to be treated by Save a Child's Heart. In its 20 years of operations half of the charity's four thousand patients have been Palestinian children; 200 others, children from Iraq and Syria. Children from Tanzania, Ethiopia and Moldova have also had treatment in Holon, Israel, where the charity is positioned.

Ms. Mussman put Mr. Zaheer in touch with an Iranian American who had worked in Jalalabad. That diplomat provided the required visasfor the family needing to cross into Israel through Turkey, to make that trip. Then a translator was required to help the father, speaking Urdu and Pashto. The Hebrew-speaking staff at the hospital needed to communicate with Yehia's father.

Finally, a retired rug seller who had left Kabul for Israel 32 years earlier agreed to translate. The surgery was undertaken with a medical team of almost a dozen people. The eight-hour surgery took place near Tel Aviv, at Wolfson Medical Center, Holon. On the completion of the surgery the baby, covered in bandages was wheeled out to see his father.

Sympathetic people surrounded the father, offering empathy and congratulations.

WASHINGTON  The FBI arrested a Washington state man Tuesday on charges he threatened to kill Sen. Patty Murray , D-Wash., over her vote for President Obama's health care initiative.

It was the second time since the bill passed that federal agents have apprehended a suspect for alleged death threats against a member of Congress.

In an affidavit filed in federal court, FBI agents said Charles Alan Wilson of Selah, Wash., threatened Murray's life in a series of obscenity-laced messages left on her office voice mail from March 22 to April 4. The House passed the Senate health care bill March 21, and Obama signed it March 23.

"I hope you realize there's a target on your back now. There are many people out there that want you dead," one messagesaid. "Now that you've passed your health care bill let the violence begin."

Another message included this threat: "I want to (expletive) kill you."

The FBI's affidavit said Wilson, 63, had a permit to carry a concealed weapon and had a .38-caliber Smith & Wesson revolver registered to his name. He had made harassing calls for "several months," but they escalated into death threats after the bill was passed, the affidavit said.

In a statement issued late yesterday, Murray's spokesman, Matt McAlvanah, said the senator's office contacted the FBI at the urging of Capitol Police after receiving "numerous" threatening phone messages. McAlvanah said Murray would have no further comment on the ongoing investigation, but he told USA TODAY that the senator was continuing her public schedule. She spent Tuesday meeting constituents


"I always believe in paying it forward and I said there’s going to be someone out there that could possibly help," Patty Williams said.

Patty Williams posted a plea on Facebook that included details about what was found in the bag.

One of the hats says Newmarket, New Hampshire on the side. The names Frank O’Harvey and Edward Johnston are both listed on envelopes, along with addresses in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The letters are signed by a soldier named Charles, and almost all of them were written in 1942, leading the Williams family to believe he served in World War II.

If they find the owner, or any of his relatives, the family said they will happily hand over the bag and the history within it.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Open-carry advocates contend officials at a Grand Rapids women's expo infringed on their rights when telling them to get rid of their guns or leave the show Friday.

Three people representing Michigan Open Carry and Michigan Gun Owners shared a booth at the West Michigan Women's Expo at DeVos Place while openly carrying holstered handguns.

A few hours into the expo, they were told firearms aren't allowed in the facility. One woman representing Michigan Open Carry chose to leave the


Place. The board was formed by Grand Rapids and Kent County under a public act. The facility is owned by the Grand Rapids City-County Building Authority.

City Attorney Catherine Mish said Grand Rapids does not own or operate DeVos Place.

Advocates reached out to the city attorney's office Friday. Dellinger said he was told the convention arena authority is a private entity.

A manager with DeVos Place couldn't be immediately reached Friday evening.

The groups have exhibited at similar expos in the past, and Dellinger said they researched ahead of time to find out whether open carry was allowed. He didn't find any policies against it online and figured they were in the clear after reading about the convention arena authority.

They didn't make any further inquiries before bringing their guns Friday.

Would Trump turn Eastern Europe over to Putin?

Trump campaigned on the idea of working to improve ties with Putin, who the new president has praised as a strong leader who could be a willing and capable partner in the fight against ISIS and other Islamist militants. He’s also said that the US would only defend NATO allies from a Russian invasion if the countries spent more on their militaries.

On its face, neither idea seems unreasonable. Russia has a powerful military, and its intervention in Syria has helped President Bashar al-Assad markedly regain lost territory and beat back the rebels working to unseat him. Moscow has also a marked willingness to use force without concern for civilian casualties on the


Americans work in their American plants or at their domestic offices.

This would suck a lot of money and jobs out of the US economy. One estimate, by the Peterson Institute for International Economics, suggested that the combined consequences of Trump’s trade war with China and proposed wall-related tariffs on Mexico would cost the US 4 million jobs and throw it into recession.

"The results presented in this analysis are a conservative assessment of the damage that the trade policies advocated by candidate Trump could wreak on the US economy," the Peterson analysts write.

So the question is: How serious is Trump about trying to bring China to heel?

Trump said he would "dismantle" the Iran deal. Could he?

The short answer is yes. The Iran deal is not a formal signed treaty,but rather a political agreement between Iran and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, France, Germany, China, and Russia. Under the deal, Iran agreed to accept verified limits on its nuclear program in exchange for relief from strict sanctions on its economy.

President Trump, using his executive authority, could undo the Iran deal by reimposing those US sanctions on Iran. To do this, all Trump would essentially need to do is issue an Executive Order telling the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) to reimpose the various economic sanctions on Iran’s government, financial institutions, and businesses that were lifted as part of the Iran deal.

This would effectively end the agreement, as the removal of the crippling financial measures was a major part of


to serve these customers with small installment loans, and they can do it at prices that are six times lower than payday loans,” said Nick Bourke, director of the Pew Charitable Trusts’ consumer finance project.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on Thursday lifted restrictions that kept banks from making small-dollar loans, which will further aid in the transition.

The leading bank lobby group, the American Bankers Association, applauded the CFPB and OCC, and the trade group representing independent banks, Independent Community Bankers of America, said the exemption provides flexibility to make sustainable loans to customers in need.

But the Community Bankers Association representing retail institutions said only the smallest banks qualify for the exemption, which applies to lenders making 2,500 or fewer short-term loans per year and derivingthan half of all deliveries of babies in the state.

The state’s share of these expenses would not shift to the federal government, says Jose Camacho, executive director of the Texas Association of Community Health Centers, but to counties and local taxpayers, as hospitals would become inundated with more uninsured and underinsured Texans.

Others fear that cutting off the flow of federal Medicaid dollars could cripple the state’s economy: About a million Texans work in health care, and from 2005 to 2009, a quarter of the new jobs created in the state were in that field.

Tom Banning, chief executive of the Texas Academy of Family Physicians, says that without Medicaid, or with a less-extensive replacement program, health care providers would be forced to shift their costs to the private market,

Testimony of the Real Estate Board of New York Before the Board of Standards and Appeals in Opposition to Calendar No. 2017-285-A, 200 Amsterdam Avenue

March 27, 2018

Regarding an application pursuant to section 666.7(a) of the New York City Charter to revoke building permit No. 122887224-01-NB (the permit) issued by the New York City Department of Buildings

The Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY) is strongly opposed to the application before the Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA) that would reverse the previously issued buildingimportant to note that the building permit was only granted after an exhaustive Department of Buildings (DOB) review. That review began in September of 2016 and was followed by a subsequent rigorous audit. It was only then that the DOB issued a building permit in September 2017 permitting 200 Amsterdam to move forward as-of right, rejecting a challenge through its own appeals process that the composition of its zoning lot was improper.

DOB’s decision was based on its recognition that it had for almost 40 years consistently interpreted the Zoning Resolution in a way that permitted the kind of zoning lot on which 200 Amsterdam is based. This interpretation was reflected in a definitive Departmental Memorandum, at least 15 permanent Certificate of Occupancy (CofO) approvals, including for three already
