2. His national security adviser

In making strategic military decisions, he has a free hand, with the capacity to act even without the nominal constraint of Congress. His national security adviser, Michael T Flynn, is a dangerous extremist.

Trump’s team is partly composed of professional lobbyists hired by fossil fuel, tobacco, chemical, and finance companies, and assorted billionaires. Their primary political effort is to avoid regulation and taxation. These people – or rather the interests they represent – are now in charge. Aside from the implications for the living world, public health, public finance and financial stability, this is a vindication of the political model pioneered by the tobacco companies in the 1960s.

Event marketing is the experiential marketing of a brand, service, or product through promotional events. It typically involves direct interaction with a brand's representatives. It should not be confused with event management, which is a process of organizing, promoting and conducting events. Trade shows are an example of event marketing.

Overview
Event marketing is considered to be a part of experiential marketing and content marketing. Experiential marketing follows the process of corporate storytelling, and aims to further engage the audience. Experiential follows a simple formula of combining a brand's message and interactive components. This mode of marketing places the target audience in a live environment that will encourage the desired outcome.

Event marketing mostly relies on emotions and the activity of the human brain. Event marketing uses emotions and


The taxi driver denied racism and asked how he could say such a thing when he, too, was a foreigner in a foreign land.

Atif Akbar told Cork District Cork that, on February 12, 2015, when he pulled in to let the taxi driver pass, he thought the driver was going to thank him, but instead the motorist rolled down his window and said: “You fucking Paki, go back to your country.”

Coincidentally, the pizza delivery man saw the same taxi driver on February 19 at Washington St, and followed him to the front gates of University College Cork, where he said there was verbal abuse of a similar nature when he confronted him about the first incident.

That was the evidence from Mr Akbar yesterday in the case against OsaraMark Fidelman

First Lady of the United States Michelle Obama ended her two-day trip to the Republic with a lunch in Dalkey with Bono.

She left Finnegan’s pub with her daughters Malia and Sasha just before 3pm, waving to the crowd as she went. Chef Paul Finnegan said they were “lovely, friendly people”. He said all three requested fish and chips while Mrs Obama chose the lobster starter.

Bono and his wife Ali Hewson were briefly caught in a crush as they left the pub afterwards. Bono said he and the Obamas had discussed everything and nothing over lunch and had talked about their families.

Mrs Obama will be reunited with US President Barack Obama in Belfast this afternoon and the family will then travel to Berlin.

The First Lady arrived in Dalkey


at 1.20pm to dine at Finnegan’s pub after visiting Glendalough.

The pub was closed since early morning but it was thought that about 60 local people were inside before the first family arrived.

Bono and his wife arrived just before 1pm, accompanied by two children.

A large crowd gathered outside and whooped as the fleet of black armoured cars arrived.

The lucky few got a quick glimpse of Mrs Obama as she left the car and took a few steps into the pub. She was wearing sunglasses but didn’t turn to wave, much to the disappointment of four girls from the local Loreto Primary School who were waiting to present her and her daughters with little posies.

The lunch menu includes smoked bacon and cabbage, cottage pie and chicken and ham stuffed withmozzarella.

The Paddy Power bookmakers shop changed its sign to O’Bama Power in anticipation of the visit and a large poster of US president Barack Obama adorned the window of the health food store.

All outdoor bins were covered and there was already a strong Garda presence in the village.

Finnegans pub flew an American flag but its doors were closed before the arrival of the US First Family.

The Dalkey pub has enjoyed its share of famous visitors in the past. They include Salman Rushdie, Mel Gibson and Penelope Cruz. Maeve Binchy, who lived nearby, came in for lunch several times a week, to the same reserved table in an alcove, with her husband Gordon Snell.

The First Family was earlier given a private guided tour of the Wicklow Mountains National Park


as their whistlestop tour of Ireland draws to a close.

The sun beamed down on the hills above the twin lakes at Glendalough as Ms Obama and Malia and Sasha walked through the famous monastic site. The girls were given a lesson on the ancient ruins by local tour guide George McClafferty. The valley, in the heart of the Wicklow mountains, offers some of the most popular rural landscapes in Ireland and is a well-worn tourist path for visitors to the east coast.

A huge security operation remains in place in Dublin for the 24-hour visit with parts of St Stephen’s Green and Kildare Street closed to through traffic.

Mrs Obama and her daughters had dinner last night in Matt the Thresher’s in Dublin.

This afternoon, they will head north to meetWorkers Friday began pouring the foundation for one of two new generating units planned as an addition to the first phase of the Qinshan nuclear power plant in Fangjiashan, Haiyan, on the northern coast of Hangzhou Bay, Zhejiang Province.

The nuclear power plant, not far from Shanghai, is the the first Chinese facility of its kind.

Each of the two pressurized reactors to be installed will have an installed capacity of 1 million kilowatts.

The two generating units will be operational by 2013 and 2014.

The State Nuclear Safety Bureau, an affiliate of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, also presented a construction permit for a civilian nuclear facility to China National Nuclear Corp, Friday.

The first phase of Qinshan Nuclear Power Plant was the first nuclear power plant on the Chinese mainland built


by domestic engineers. Construction of the plant began in 1985. It was built with a 300,000 kilowatt prototype reactor with a lifespan of 30 years It started generating power in 1991.

The plant also has second and third phases.

Chinese engineers have installed two generating units in the second phase and plan to add at least two more.

The third phase houses two Canadian CANDU heavy-water reactors.

According to the country's long and mid-term development plan of nuclear power plants, China's nuclear power installed capacity will reach 40 million kw by 2020 and will generate 260-280 billion kwh electricity each year,accounting for four percent and six percent of the country's total.

China has nuclear power stations with 11 generating sets and an installed capacity of nine million KW. These generating units are wither, God for the headline writers.

football will do just fine, thousands of kids are left with limited options should they get released from their respective clubs at a young age.

Dominic Dwyer, the Sussex-born striker who spent six years in Norwich City's youth system between 2000-2006, experienced rejection when he was released by the Canaries 13 years ago, and dropped into England's non-league pyramid with Staines Town. The forward, then aged just 16, lasted just one season at the Surrey outfit, before moving to King's Lynn - the club he had begun his footballing career before joining Norwich eight years earlier.

Drafted in because the Norfolk side were a striker short for their game against Grantham FC, Dwyer lead the line and scored four goals on his debut. The rest was history for Dwyer atKing's Lynn; he went on to establish himself in the first team, becoming a pivotal figure for the club as they looked to climb up England's non-league ladder. A trial to earn a scholarship at the Tyler Junior College in Texas in 2009 was to completely change Dwyer's life for the better, however.

The young forward was accepted onto the scholarship scheme, and made his way across the Pond for a fresh challenge in America. Dwyer won two national championships and earned the coveted National Junior College Player of the Year Award having scored 37 goals for his new side as a sophomore. After two years playing for Tyler College, where Dwyer left having netted 52 goals in 42 appearances, the now 28-year-old moved to the University of South

RANDOLPH - Greece may still be experiencing an economic crisis, but business was booming on Saturday at the Saint Andrew Greek Orthodox Church's Big Greek Festival.

An estimated record crowd in excess of 4,000 on Friday night put the three-day festival — a rich celebration of Greek culture, music, faith and food — on pace to shatter the unofficial record of 10,000-plus patrons, according to Steve Mitrakos, festival chairman and vice president of the parish council.

"Last night was very successful, thank God," Mitrakos said as customers were pouring into the church's big community center on Saturday after the festival re-opened for business at noon. "Our all-time high for a Friday night. We're always so weather-dependent, so it's a roll of the dice."

Many of the attendees sampling gyros, souvlakialong with wine and a selection of beers, including Greek Mythos and locally-brewed Jersey Girl beer on tap.

The festival may not make enough money to bail out the Greek economy, but it plays an essential role in funding the church's mission, which includes outreach to the community currently focused on feeding the hungry in Dover.

Mitrakos declined to estimate the exact amount of revenue generated by the festival, but Marin said the long weekend produces up to a third of the church's annual budget.

"We do this to support our church and to do our ministries," Mitrakos said. "Our community now, once a month, goes to the Faith Kitchen (at Trinity Lutheran Church) in Dover and we serve over 100 people. We also do youth ministries for little kids to

As unsettling as they may seem, such acts may even be considered to be part of the animal's play behavior. 25 It is well known that modern elephants are prone to a sort of seasonal sexual madness when they go through a phase of heightened sexual aggression termed musth. While in musth, elephants have been observed trying to forcefully mate with members of different species, such as rhinos. We combined ideas about interspecies mating events with both the possibility of oversized sexual organs and of a seasonal 'sexual madness'.

The Spider Monkey was a small, possibly arboreal species of Human with extraordinarily long fingers and big eyes. " "A Toad ambles merrily along the Holocene forest floor. " Covering Up is not soBureau of Indian Affairs Harassment pervades the Bureau of Indian Affairs One of the oldest agencies in the Department of Interior appears to have some of its worst harassment problems.

Sue Parton first began working for the Bureau of Indian Affairs in 1976, as a teacher at the Albuquerque Indian School, one of the few remaining BIA boarding schools at that time. Parton, a member of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma, had been around the agency most of her life; her father was a lifelong employee. But she gained a new perspective in 2008, as she got more involved with the Federation of Indian Service Employees, the union that represents employees of the four Interior Department agencies that serve Native Americans.

“One of the things that shocked me was the


window into a troubled agency: Overall, 40 percent of BIA employees surveyed said they had been harassed in the previous 12 months, and rates of racial and sexual harassment and assault were generally higher than those at other Interior agencies. And given that respondents often underreport their experiences, these numbers add up to a conservative estimate. The majority of those surveyed say they did not report their harassment.

As is often the case in federal agencies, the majority of victims of sexual harassment and assault were young women. The survey also shows tensions between non-Natives and Native Americans. Twenty percent of employees, mostly white or Hispanic, felt they had been racially harassed in the last 12 months. The only agency with higher racial harassment was the Office of theWomen's groups condemn "all at once" declaration by Muslim men known as "triple talaq" to divorce their wives.

Women's groups in India are calling for a review of the way Muslim men are allowed to divorce their wives.

A process known as talaq, based on the Arabic word for divorce, allows Muslim men to end their marriages by pronouncing their intention three times.

According to Islam, that should happen over a period of three months, to give both parties time to think through the consequences.

Women's groups have long argued that the declaration is being uttered in one go, effectively resulting in instant divorce.

The so-called "triple talaq" is banned in many Islamic countries, including Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Now rights activists say the opportunity for "digital divorce" is leaving women even more vulnerable, with


men exercising the option of "triple talaq" through social media sites such as Facebook, Skype and WhatsApp.

It's adding to pressure for reforms, but is there an appetite for change in a patriarchal society that has historically favoured men?

OPINION
PISANO, District Judge.
Subsequent to a competency hearing held on July 26, 2005, this Court found Defendant, Kevin McCray, to be suffering from a mental disease or defect rendering him incompetent to stand trial on the criminal charges against him. The Court ordered that Defendant be hospitalized in order to determine whether there existed a substantial probability that Defendant would be restored to competency in the foreseeable future. After several months of evaluation, doctors concluded that there was a substantial likelihood that Defendant could be restored to


in Englewood, Parsippany and South River, New Jersey that occurred between September 1, 2001 and November 9, 2001. Defendant's alleged role in the robberies, during which firearms were brandished and the stores' employees were threatened and physically assaulted, was "organizer, planner [and] provider of equipment" (including weapons). Hearing Transcript, October 23, 2006 ("Oct. 23 Tr.") at 88. Defendant also is alleged to have acted as a look-out outside of the premises during the robberies. Id. Approximately $240,000 was stolen in these incidents. All of Defendant's alleged coconspirators have entered guilty pleas to various charges arising from these incidents and are serving their sentences.
After the New Jersey robberies took place, but before the indictment was returned in this case, Defendant pled guilty in the Delaware Superior Court to chargesarising from three robberies committed in that state in 2002. On December 5, 2003, defendant was sentenced in Delaware to 36 years incarceration (that is suspended after 26 years incarceration), followed by probation.
Defendant's trial on the instant charges was scheduled to begin on December 2, 2004. On December 1, 2004, a jury was selected. However, the next morning, before the jury had been sworn in, Defendant's counsel, David Glazer, an experienced defense attorney, advised the Court of his concern that his client was not competent to stand trial. Counsel's concern stemmed in part from Defendant's behavior during jury selection the previous day, when Defendant interrupted the proceedings several times to make irrelevant statements or inquire into irrelevant legal issues.[1] Mr. Glazer also advised the Court that he observed


that defendant be placed in a forensic psychiatric facility for further evaluation.
On January 18, 2005, the Court ordered further psychiatric evaluation of the Defendant to be conducted at a federal correctional facility. The Defendant was subsequently assessed at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York by psychologist William J. Ryan, Ph.D., who issued a report dated June 2, 2005 ("June 2 Report"). Dr. Ryan reported that Defendant suffered from PTSD and psychotic disorder, as well as mild mental retardation. Dr. Ryan concluded that Defendant was not competent to stand trial due to "significant limitations in competency from both mental illness (i.e., paranoid delusions) and mental defect (i.e., mental retardation)." See June 2 Report at 8.
On July 26, 2005, the Court held a hearing at which Dr. Ryan testifiedand determined that Defendant suffered from a mental disease or defect that rendered him incompetent to stand trial. The Court ordered that Defendant be transferred to a hospital facility for treatment and further evaluation. See August 1, 2005 Order. On August 24, 2005, Defendant was admitted to the Federal Medical Center located in Butner, North Carolina ("FMC Butner"). In a report dated January, 31, 2006, ("Jan. 31 Report") psychologist Edward E. Landis, Ph.D. and psychiatrist Ralph Newman, M.D., advised that after a four-month evaluation period, the staff at the medical center was unable form a definitive opinion as to Defendant's competency to stand trial. It was noted that Defendant refused to cooperate with the evaluation process and at times refused to speak to evaluators at all. He refused


to complete psychological testing. It was further noted that the evaluation of Defendant was also complicated by "a dearth of detailed, objective history." Jan. 31 Report at 6. The report recommended an additional 120-day evaluation period.
The Court ordered the additional period of evaluation at FMC Butner. In a report dated July 17, 2006 (the "July 17 Report"), Dr. Landis and Dr. Newman concluded that Defendant was incompetent to stand trial. According to Dr. Landis, the evaluation of Defendant during his two admissions at FMC Butner consisted of (1) attempts to interview Defendant, to which Defendant was "pretty uncooperative;" (2) observations of Defendant's demeanor and his mental status, from which Dr. Landis states he "didn't derive a whole lot of information;" (3) observations of Defendant's behavior while in theThe University of the Cumberlands (UC) Cross Country Teams traveled to Wilmington, Ohio this past week to compete in the Wilmington Invitational.

The Weird Kingdom is their fourth and last album. What I found that day was one of only two copies I have ever seen of it. It's their rarest because, as Lew Bedell later explained, it was their poorest-selling album, selling only 30,000 copies.

A method was developed of plotting the position of segmental lesions in glomeruli on histological sections of kidney. Using a Leitz Imagan semi-automatic image analyser, the outline of lesions was traced, as was the outline of Bowman's capsule. The centre of gravity of a lesion, computed by the image analyser, was plotted with reference to the line through the hilum and the centre of gravity of the glomerulus, by taking its angle to that line and its proportional distance between that line and Bowman's capsule. Points representing all lesions were transferred onto a circle graphically representing a glomerulus. Lesions in 11 renal biopsies with the glomerular tip lesion were clustered at the tubular origin.


Q:

History/usage: 耦 vs. 偶?

According to the ABC dictionary 耦 means:

a couple

as a noun and

to couple

as a verb.
Think of words like:

去耦

meaning decouple.
But, 配偶 can also be written: 配耦.
What is the history and usage of 耦 vs. 偶?

A:

In terms of historical usage, the word meaning likeness, couple (Zhengzhang: /*ŋoːʔ/) was first written as「禺」as a phonetic loan, then

Had「亻」added to it to differentiate this meaning from the other meanings written「禺」;
Had「耒」added to it to specifically indicate the meaning two people plowing fields.

My speculations: Since the word represented by「耦」is related to「偶」(in fact, identical, just written with a different glyph for a specialised circumstance), they became interchangeable to a very large degree.「耦」was even used for the word idol:

木耦
土耦
耦人

The current spelling would then be just dictated by educational committees, as historically they were the same wordOverview/History

Indian festivals are celebrated with great enthusiasm. Each festival is known for its well-fabricated mythology. Similarly, the story behind Holi is steeped in history. The legend of Prahlada, Hiranyakashipu and Holika are one of the most popular myths associated with the festival of colours. It is believed that Hiranyakashipu, the demon king, was granted a boon due to which it became impossible for anyone to defeat him. This made him haughty, so he started questioning the authority of the Almighty. Prahlada, son of Hiranyakashipu who was a devotee of Lord Vishnu, was chosen by Lord to put an end to the atrocities of his father. When the knowledge of it reached the ears of Hiranyakashipu, he devised several strategies to kill his own son. When nothing worked, he


made Prahlada sit on the lap of his sister Holika who entered fire with Prahlada in her lap as she could not be burnt as per a boon granted to her. But instead of Prahlada, it was Holika who was burnt to ashes and Prahlada remained completely unharmed. The festival is celebrated to mark the victory of good over evil and burning of Holika. The other popular legends associated with the festival are the legend of Kamdeva and the legend of Krishna and Radha.preferred to engage with me – or anyone, for that matter – in companionable silence.

LynnMall is a shopping centre in New Lynn, a suburb of Waitakere City, New Zealand, on Great North Road adjacent to New Lynn Train Station, 11.8 kilometres (7.3 mi) southwest of the Auckland CBD.

In a 2008 rating of New Zealand shopping centres by a retail expert group, LynnMall received just two out of four stars, the lowest rating in the country (though not the lowest that would have been possible) based on the criteria of amount of shopping area, economic performance, amenity and appeal as well as future growth prospects.

LAS VEGAS -- The search for UCLA 'snext men's basketball coach will officially begin to ramp up now that the Bruins' season is finally over.UCLA was eliminated from the Pac-12 tournament Thursday night after an 83-72 loss to Arizona State in the quarterfinals, and at 17-16, the Bruins will miss the NCAA tournament for the first time since the 2015 season.With Steve Alford being fired after a 7-6 start, athletic director Dan Guerrero must find someone to turn around a once-storied basketball program after a decade of inconsistent and sometimes underwhelming basketball in Westwood.Guerrero isn't tipping his hand one way or the other on the direction or stages of the hiring process, only saying this week that it's going well. He also has no timetable for hiring acoach."We're doing our research," Guerrero told ESPN earlier this week. "It could be tomorrow or it could be a month from now."One name he can scratch off of his potential list of candidates is interim head coach Murry Bartow, who took over for Alford in January and coached the Bruins to a 10-10 record during the second half of the season. Bartow said after Thursday's loss that he doesn't want to be UCLA's permanent head coach and expects the Bruins to find the right coach for the job without him."They'll hire a very good coach, I'm sure, and hopefully there's good days ahead for me," Bartow said. "I'm sure there are."Bartow, who was hired as a UCLA assistant last April and whose father, Gene, replaced legendary UCLA coach


element and further having a feed system for communicating the RF signal between each element terminal and a common feed terminal. An antenna feed system according to the present invention includes a phase shift coupling mechanism which is used to distribute RF energy from the two ends of a branch of floating center conductor, which creates a transmission line when placed in the center of one of the many cavities formed in an extruded or other wise formed antenna body housing, to the center of the adjacent and continuing center conductor centrally located inside the adjacent and continuing cavity and continuing RF path, by means of quarter wave length coupling or other odd multiple of quarter wave or other coupling probe, which is placed in the center alongthe axis of the extruded or otherwise formed center conductor having a shape with an opening on a side parallel to the axis so that the center area of the shape is able to be reached and allow space for a rod or probe of some design, not actually making contact but of such length or shape as the electrical equivalent at the operating frequencies is such that the length of open circuited line inside of the continuing center conductor behaves as if the line is shorted or actually making contact at the point of entrance into the center conductor or another point. It is this electrically equivalent connection by means of the phase coupling device which allows the adjustment of the length of the RF path from

Yorgo Kırbaki – ATHENS

The Greek coast guard has confronted a Turkish human smuggler with the dead bodies of three migrant children who were in his capsized boat “as a lesson,” while charging the trafficker with 120 years of imprisonment.The smuggler, identified only as Özkan A., was trafficking 23 migrants, including six children and five women, to the Greek island of Samos when his boat capsized off Turkey’s Aegean coast.While Özkan A. and 20 of the migrants were rescued by the search and rescue foundation Migrant Offshore Aid Station (MOAS), three children were retrieved dead. According to reports, two of the children were four years old and the other was two years old.After the MOAS rescue boat docked at Samos


Island, Greek coast guard teams entered the boat and handcuffed Özkan A., before forcing him to kneel and confront the bodies of the children who lost their lives.Video footage of the incident has emerged showing the smuggler as he sits and cries watching the toddlers as they are placed inside coffins.Özkan A. has confessed to being paid $3,000 each time he smuggled a boat of migrants to Greece, saying he previously trafficked migrants to the islands of Lesbos and Samos, Doğan News Agency reported.He now faces up to 120 years in prison, reports added.Daily Hürriyet contacted the father of Özkan A., who lives in the Milas district of Turkey’s southwestern Muğla province.The father claimed that his son had behavioral disorders and psychological problems, for which he had receivedmedical treatment until 2013.“He [Özkan A.] has the intelligence of a six-year-old,” he said, adding that his son had left home and phoned the family on Jan. 13 but they had not heard from him since.Greek islands in the Aegean Sea saw more than 800,000 migrants - many of them refugees fleeing war-torn Syria - land on their shores from Turkey in 2015, their first EU stop on a journey to new lives in Germany, Sweden and elsewhere.Turkey itself has taken in over 2 million refugees from neighboring Syria where a conflict has been continuing since the early days of 2011.


of the armed career criminal guideline. The district court applied the armed career criminal guideline and sentenced him to the statutory minimum of fifteen years imprisonment. The plea agreement contains a limited waiver of Heikes's right to appeal, and was modified by agreement of the parties on the record at the plea hearing to allow for appeal of an illegal or unreasonable sentence.

II
While this appeal was pending, the Supreme Court overruled our interpretation of § 924(e)(1) and held driving under the influence of alcohol is not a violent felony as defined in the Armed Career Criminal Act. Begay, 128 S.Ct. at 1583, 1587-88. When the Supreme Court changes the law while a defendant's case is pending on appeal, the plain error principle applies. United States v. Pirani, 406enhancements imposed by the Armed Career Criminal Act, § 924(e)(1).
NOTES
[1]  Heikes argues he was denied due process fair warning that his felony DWI convictions would make him an armed career criminal and elevate his sentence five years beyond the statutory maximum of ten years because at the time of his offense conduct, the law in this Circuit was a felony DWI was not a "crime of violence" or a "violent felony" for purposes of either the career offender or armed career criminal sentencing enhancement. He further argues his counsel was constitutionally ineffective for failing to raise the issue with the court. Heikes's due process arguments are moot after the Supreme Court's recent decision in Begay.


to this paper, currently 10 of the 15 NT communities involved in this initiative include in their LIPs addressing high prevalence of tobacco use as a priority health action \[personal communications JR 2012: M Klopper, Acting Area Manager, Regional Operations Centre, NPARSD\]. NT Government reforms in July 2008 included the amalgamation of fifty-three remote community councils into eight larger shires \[[@B13]\]. This shifted decision-making and management about most local community-level matters to the regional centres with implications for service delivery generally, and for implementing tobacco policies and programs at the community level in particular. Significantly, a smoke-free policy for all its facilities, including those in remote communities, was launched by the NT Department of Health and Families in 2009 \[[@B14]\].

Participants and sampling
-------------------------

Purposive sampling was used to recruit stakeholderswith either a mandate or an interest in reducing tobacco use in the NT's Indigenous population. In the three study communities of the TETP, locally-based service providers in local government, education, health and allied services, community and church leaders and other community members were approached for interview. Incorporating a 'relational' perspective for qualitative research as described by Cummins et al. \[[@B15]\], we extended the geographical reach of the interviews beyond the study communities. We sought the views of those based in regional centres external to the study communities who were working in a similar context. We also interviewed others across the jurisdiction who, although geographically distant, were in relationships of power or influence for addressing tobacco use in these settings*.* Included were elected members of the NT Government


Among the sub-themes linked with this *opportunity*, three types of spaces were identified where the policies are or need to be applied, namely workplaces (especially health clinics), peoples' homes and public spaces. Favourably mentioned as an important initiative was the NT Department of Health's introduction of a smoke-free workplace policy in July 2009 \[[@B14]\]. But there was a broader view expressed regarding the scope of smoke free policies. The notion that "*all homes should be smoke-free"* (FLSPI) was expressed at least once in each community by community members. These comments usually reflected a concern for reducing the risk of passive smoking for babies, young children and elderly people suffering from chronic diseases. Practical suggestions for smoke-free public spaces included commonly-frequented areas such as the front of community storesstaff -- the logistics are impossible*" (FLSPNI). Regionally-based staff frequently travel huge distances, limiting time spent in the communities: " *they cram their work in*" (FLSPI). Isolation and limited amenities for community-based staff were identified as contributing to frequent staff turn-over (NFSPNI).

**'Stress'** was frequently mentioned by those working and living in the communities as a *challenge* to reducing tobacco consumption. Socio-economic contributors to this stress include high levels of unemployment, inadequate housing, limited services, high food costs and the impacts of colonization during the early part of the 20^th^ century in Arnhem Land. "*There is a high prevalence of mental health issues --people are self-medicating with tobacco"* (FLSPNI). Some stresses mentioned peculiar to these communities mainly relate to the recent major policy changes around local governance, and Commonwealth


3a. Each lateral side of the wire grooves 11a is installed with a wire hole 12a at an appropriate place for passing the two ends of the communication wire 3a therethrough. The inner lateral side of the wire groove 11a is formed with a shaft 13a . Each shaft 13a is axially installed with a groove hole 14a.
The housing 2a is formed by a first casing 21 a and a second casing 22a, which can be buckled to the two surfaces of the box body 1a for sealing the two wire grooves 11a so as to position the communication wire 3a, wire winding disk 4a, and spiral spring 5a in the box body 1a.
Two wire winding disks 4a has a central axial hole for 42a. Twoof the communication wire 3a may be wound as two parts for matching in the two wire grooves 11a of the box body 1a. The middle part of the communication wire 3a passes through the groove holes 11a on the shafts 13a in the two wire grooves 11a. Therefore, the two ends of the communication wire 3a are disposed in the two wire grooves 11a. The communication wire 3a can be wound around the exterior 47a and interior 48a (see FIG. 2) of the wire winding ring 44a of the wire winding disk 4a. The plug 31a and earphone 32a at two ends of the communication wire 3a are protruded out from the wire holes 12a of the box body 1a.
Two spiral springs Sa are suitably installed


wire winding box. The two ends of the communication wire 3a are pulled by the spiral spring 5a in the box so that a certain pulling force is retained thereon, and thus the communication wire 3a can be wound back into the box. Therefore, the wire is prevented from protruding out of the box when not in use.
In order to ensure that the user""s pull of the communication wire 3a is not overly hindered by the tension of the winding force, the periphery of the wire winding disk 4a is installed with a plurality of buckling grooves 46a and a control device 6a. The control device 6a includes a swinging piece 61a swinging freely and a ratchet 62a rotating freely. By the special relationship connecting the swinging piece61a, ratchet 62a, and the buckling groove 46a of the wire winding disk 4a, the communication wire 3a can be fixed or rewound by pulling and releasing.
However, in the prior art wire winding box, after the communication wire 3a passes through the groove holes 11a from the grove hole 14a, it winds around the shaft 13a in the interior 48a of the wire winding disk 41a, and then passes through the through hole 49a preset on the wire winding ring 44a to the exterior 47a of the wire winding ring 44a. Then, it protrudes out from the wire hole 12a to the outer side of the wire winding box. When one end of the communication wire 3a is pulled out from the wire winding box, it will at


first pull the communication wire 3a wound around the exterior 47a of the wire winding ring 44a. Then, the interior 48a of the wire winding ring 44a will be pulled out until the communication wire 3a of the exterior 47a of the wire winding ring 44a is fully pulled out. Then, it pulls the communication wire 3a on the shaft 13a wound in the interior 48a of the wire winding ring 44a. When the communication wire 3a is wound back to the wire winding box, the communication wire 3a will wind around the exterior 47a (FIG. 2A) of the wire winding ring 44a, and at the time that the communication wire 3a winds around the exterior 47a of the wire winding ring 44a, the communication wire 3a maywind around the shaft 13a of the interior 48a of the wire winding ring 44a. The section of the communication wire 3a wound around the interior 48a of the wire winding ring 44a is provided by the communication wire 3a wound around the exterior 47a of the wire winding ring 44a (see FIG. 2B). However, when the communication wire 3a wound around the exterior 47a of the wire winding ring 44a is pulled, significant friction will occur between different sections of the communication wire 3a and between the communication wire 3a and the wire winding ring 44a. Such friction will induce damage to the surface of the communication wire 3a; therefore, the interior lead will be damaged so that the life of the communication wire 3a and the


whole wire winding box will be reduced.
Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a wire winding box for reducing radial friction, and especially to a wire winding box for reducing radial friction of a communication wire. A fixing piece is installed in the through hole in the wire winding ring of the wire winding disk. The fixing piece serves to clamp and fix the communication wire passing through the through hole so that the communication wire in the wire winding ring cannot be pulled. When one end of the communication wire is pulled from the wire winding box, the section of the communication wire in the wire winding ring cannot be pulled out. Therefore, as the communication wire is wound back into the wirewinding box, it only winds around the exterior of the wire winding ring and not wound in the interior of the wire winding ring. The friction between different sections of the communication wire and between the communication wire and the wire winding ring will not occur. Therefore, the friction, which induces damage to the surface of the interior lead of the communication wire, will be avoided and, thus, the life of the communication wire and of the whole wire winding box will be increased. The communication wire and the whole wire winding box will have a longer life.
The various objects and advantages of the present invention will be more readily understood from the following detailed description when reading in conjunction with the appended drawing.

Scouting Cardinals Prospect Niko Vasquez

Is it possible the best shortstop in last June's draft will be somebody not named Beckham? Obviously it's too early to tell, but the possibility is real. Niko Vasquez, the St. Louis Cardinals 3rd round draft pick and the No. 91 pick overall has more upside than the close to MLB-ready Gordon Beckham and has more polish than the raw, but very toolsy and athletic Tim Beckham. Vasquez was a projected first rounder but dropped due to signability reasons.

Tim Beckham was the draft's best prospect according to many, but I felt he had issues with his swing that he would need to work on. Not surprisingly, Beckham has struggled with the adjustment to pro ball. However, the tools are there to succeed.

On the otherend of the spectrum is Gordon Beckham. Gordon was the polished college bat that put up huge numbers as a Bulldog from Georgia. He was expected to move quickly, but his upside was questioned. Concerns about his defense were noted as well.

Between the Beckham spectrums is Vasquez.

Vasquez is coordinated and fairly agile with a strong arm at the shortstop position, but questions about his overall foot speed lead some to doubt his ability to stay at the position. He hasn't appeared to have had many problems thus far in his young career, however.

Should Vasquez stay at shortstop, his bat could have borderline All-Star value.

The Swing

Vasquez has a swing that should generate solid power going forward though he needs to clean up his mechanics a bit. He starts with


bat on shoulder, and then proceeds to bring his bat to a more vertical position while simultaneously moving the elbow back just slightly.

The load is made when Vasquez moves his hands up, which coincides with his stride into foot plant. Notice the bat stays--for the most part--close to the body. As the body is moving forward, the bat is moving along with it.

One purely observational thing I noticed watching Vasquez was the inconsistency from at bat to at bat in terms of his mechanics. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but I would like to see a bit more consistency.

At toe touch, Vasquez has a knee twist to kick start his hip rotation. If he isn't careful, he leaves himself vulnerable to opening up his hips too soonscoring opportunities in the game.

LONDON: The Islamic State ( ISIS ) terrorist group has issued a travel advisory for its operatives to steer clear of coronavirus-hit Europe, described as "the land of the epidemic".According to The Sunday Times , the latest issue of the ISIS 'Al-Naba' newsletter refers to a new set of "sharia directives" warning against travel to Europe.The Middle East-based terror outfit, which has in the past encouraged operatives to plot attacks in Europe, also instructed those of its followers who may have become ill with coronavirus not to leave the region, in order to prevent the disease spreading.The newsletter says that the "healthy should not enter the land of the epidemic and the afflicted should not exit from it". It also instructs followers to "cover their mouths when yawningand sneezing" and to wash their hands regularly.The newsletter refers to a "plague" described as a "torment sent by God on whomsoever He wills", adding: "Illnesses do not strike by themselves but by the command and decree of God."ISIS has lost a lot of ground in the Middle East after a series of defeats, but it remains active in Iraq and Syria in a fragmented form. The Middle East has also been hit by the coronavirus outbreak, with Iraq reporting 101 cases and 10 deaths from COVID-19.Europe is now the epicentre of the worldwide pandemic, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), with Italy, France and Spain all banning public gatherings and the UK set to follow suit as the virus claimed over 5,300 lives around the world.In


Italy, 2,547 new novel coronavirus cases were reported and 252 deaths on Saturday, the highest number of deaths in a single day since the outbreak began.Italy has now confirmed 21,157 cases, second highest in the world after China.As of Saturday, in Spain the number of coronavirus infections have reached 5,753 people, half of them in Madrid.The deadly virus has claimed over 5,300 lives and infected more than 142,000 people across 135 countries and territories, with the World Health Organisation describing the outbreak a pandemic on Wednesday.Slash says that "there's no shortage of ideas" for a possible new GUNS N' ROSES album. Speaking to Classic Rock magazine, the GUNS N' ROSES guitarist, who will release a new album with his SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY AND THE CONSPIRATORS solo band next month, said: "When GUNS N' ROSES started doing its thing on the 'Not In This Lifetime' tour, then the kind of writing I was doing was actually more tailored towards GUNS, because that was the environment I was in. But then we took the break and I started thinking about doing the CONSPIRATORS record.

"When it comes down to it, a riff is a riff," he continued. "It could work in either context. But with THE CONSPIRATORS, anything I come up with, Myles Kennedy will


a new GUNS N' ROSES album, Slash replied: "Well, it's not been announced because there's nothing official, so there's nothing to talk about. I think everybody thinks it's a good idea, and everybody would like to do it. There's no shortage of ideas from everybody involved, but we've been so busy on the road there hasn't really been time to go in and sit down and go, 'Okay, we're going to make a record.'"

GUNS N' ROSES launched its long-rumored and long-awaited reunion tour in April 2016 with a club show in Hollywood and been on the road around the world ever since. The "Not In This Lifetime" trek, which ranks as the fourth-highest-grossing tour of all time, based on Billboard's Boxscore archives, features Slash, bassist Duff McKagan andsinger Axl Rose, backed by Richard Fortus (guitar) and Frank Ferrer (drums), plus keyboardists Dizzy Reed and Melissa Reese.

GUNS N' ROSES' latest studio album, "Chinese Democracy", came out in 2008 and featured only Axl from the classic lineup.

The last album on which Rose, McKagan and Slash appeared together was 1993's covers set "The Spaghetti Incident?"

Slash will release his fourth solo album and third with his band THE CONSPIRATORS, "Living The Dream", in September.

In other research involving more than 6,000 university students, 3.5 percent of women admitted to working in the sex industry. Interestingly, 22 percent of the female respondents contemplated on entering the sex trade.

Why Some Female Students Work in the Sex Industry

Money is the major driver that prodded female students into selling sex. They are also motivated by the curiosity and the sexual pleasure associated with this line of work. In Australia, 40 percent of the female sex workers in major cities in the country are also attending universities and colleges. Like other student sex workers, the lucrative pay out encourages them to engage in

Majority of the world’s population is in Asia. It has about 60% of the world’s population with three of the four most populated countries in the world China, India and Indonesia. Asia has produced some of the world’s most ancient and sophisticated cultures. It continues to shape the global environment whether economic, political and natural. Most of Asian economies have exponential growth and more consistently than any other group of economies in the world in the past four decades. With the fastest growing economies and over half of the world’s population, Asia will continue to be a dominant force in the 21st century. The growing influence of Asia in the world today will

There are professional opportunities also for graduates in the field of Foreign Service, international trade, community relations, international journalism and translation. Cultural groups around the world like ACM Group are eyeing graduates of tomorrow to promote a broader understanding of the eastern culture.

Asia is a vibrant and important continent in the sense of culture, politics and economics. Asian studies help to enrich the world understanding of the rich history and culture and the driving force of Asian economy today. Understanding the East will contribute to our common human heritage that will prepare us for a responsible and successful role in globalisation. Whether you are interested in the past, present or future, studying Asian studies makes a lot of sense.

Completing a college education is a veryto make financial literacy a part of their curriculum. 17 states in America are now requiring their high school students to take personal finance class before they graduate. The UK made personal finance instruction mandatory in high school since 2014. The UK just joined US, Australia, Singapore and Canada and New Zealand are following suit. By equipping our younger generation with personal finance we break the cycle of financial literacy and empower the youth to make informed financial decisions.

10.Razorback Trio Earns PFF All-Freshman Distinctions

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas football placed three student-athletes on the 2019 Pro Football Focus (PFF) Offensive All-Freshman team, which is tied for the most by any program in the country.

Right guard Ricky Stromberg earned third team honors, while receivers Treylon Burks and Trey Knox landed as honorable mention team members. Arkansas is the only school with two receivers recognized by PFF.

Stromberg, a native of Tulsa, Oklahoma, played in all 12 games for the Razorbacks, starting each of the last 11, primarily at the right guard position. He blocked for an offense that accumulated 4,081 total yards in 2019, with 2,315 through the air. Stromberg was rated as the top pass blocking lineman on Arkansas’ starting unit by PFF with a grade of 67.0.


He did not allow a sack in 417 pass blocking plays in his first year on the Hill.

Burks, an Arkansan from Warren, was the team’s leading receiver with 475 yards on 29 receptions over 11 games played and nine starts. He averaged 43.2 yards per game and 16.4 yards per catch, leading both categories among SEC freshman wideouts. Burks was the only Razorback to catch a pass in every game he played in, as he was one of five Arkansas freshmen ever to eclipse 400 receiving yards in a season.

Knox, from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, was neck-and-neck with Burks all season long, leading the two at points throughout their first year together. Knox finished the year with 385 yards and three touchdowns on 28 receptions, ranking second on the teamJohn Vlastelica

The section of my book America Alone on demographic decline begins with Japan – because Japan presents “the demographic death spiral in its purest form”. The Economist and a bunch of other smart guys all said at the time that it was “alarmist”.

Seven years later, everyone’s ringing alarm bells. From today’s Asahi Shimbun:

Japan’s population has dropped by a record 284,000. As of Oct. 1, 2012, the country’s population was estimated at 127,515,000, down 0.22 percent from the previous year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said April 16. The decline is the largest in both number and rate since 1950, when comparable figures were first available. The population dropped for the second year in a row for the first time. Japanese society continues to age, with thepopulation of elderly, aged 65 or over, estimated at 30,793,000, up 1,041,000 from the previous year. It was also the first time that the elderly outnumbered children, aged 14 or under, in all 47 prefectures.

The central fact of our age is the unprecedented, voluntary self-extinction of the developed world.


US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Thursday sought to defuse tension over the United Kingdom's decision to allow China's Huawei a role in its communication network but described the Chinese Communist Party as the biggest threat of the current era.

The UK on Tuesday defied the United States by granting Chinese technology firm Huawei a limited role in its 5G network.

More:

The US, including Pompeo and President Donald Trump, had been lobbying the UK to exclude the firm on security grounds.

Some had predicted a backlash from Trump's administration during Pompeo's two-day visit to Britain.

But while the US Secretary of State showed no softening in his opposition to Huawei, he was eager to downplay the broader impact.

renowned for his lying and trickery. He gets his men killed over and over due
to his capricious, pointless acts of ego - at one point much of his fleet is

if someone should act against him, he switches to victimhood and moral outrage

In the end he returns home alone, having gotten all his men killed, and
encounters the 'suitors', who presume that with him missing for 20 years,
likely he won't return. They are peaceably [EDIT: up to a point then that

Early on, Trithemius built an awesome library at his monastery, but then they
split up and he became a counselor to the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian. The
Emperor was of Habsburg descent, and the Habsburgs and other Franks were
claiming Trojan ancestry... so Trithemius wrote an elaborate fake history of
the Franks, leading back to Troy, and had it published.

There's a lot more to this guy than just that. He wrote "Steganographia" and
"Polygraphia", which are dripping with occult influence but turn out to be a
combination of fake alphabets and substitution ciphers. But because of his
man-crush on Maximilian, he committed this extremely intricate forgery and
obliterated his reputation. That's how significant the Trojan War was in the
1500s.

> Italian humanists."_

The Christianization of the Byzantines was not some crude "Old Testament as
literal truth" kind of dogma, but a mix of New Testament ideas with neo-
platonism and influences from ancient Greek thought. The early theologians
(considered "saints") had all studied those philosophies and had extended
knowledge of ancient Greek thought.

Early Christianism was much more subtle than the crude version of Christianism
post protestantism (protestantism itself being a fundamentalist movement, to
go "back to roots" and back to the book, it's easy to understand why. It was a
version of the religion for simple minded Germanic folk at the time that
couldn't handle much subtlety).

Homer, to get back to the point, was official reading in Byzantine school
education.

Worth noting, that unlike the western empire,that had the rule of the pope,
the Byzantium had separate church and state.

This is a really bizzare comment. The early Protestant reformers were all
highly educated academics. Luther was a classically educated professor of
theology. Calvin was a university educated lawyer who had published
commentaries on Seneca (a Stoic philosopher). Philip Melanchthon was a
university lecturer on oratory and Latin literature, and published a Greek
grammar. It is a bit of a stretch to paint them as simple-minded Germanic folk
(especially since Calvin was French). All of them were familiar with the
theology of the early church fathers and appeal to it in their writings.

While the pope had plenty of temporal power in the renaissance, it's certainly
incorrect to say that any pope ruled anything that could be called the western
empire before that. Instead of a


strict separation of church and state, the
Byzantine emperor Justinian appointed 3 successive popes after re-conquering
Italy from the ostrogoths.

Luther certainly was not a simple-minded German folkperson, however in his
time the Mass was commonly in Latin, which was not understood by the folk. One
of important results of the Reformation was the translation of the Bible and
liturgy in the language of the people (this happened in Czech lands already at
the time of Jan Hus, but not elsewhere). The Catholic hierarchy was also
perceived to be highly corrupt and the teachings not accessible by the common
people, so the Reformation aimed to change all that. This is sort of what I
feel where the OP is going with his comment.

McCrae gave personality tests to Asian-Canadian college students, the children of immigrants from Hong Kong. He found that the students who had recently arrived in Canada had personality profiles similar to those of the people back in Hong Kong, but the Asian-Canadians who were born in Canada were similar to other Canadians. Those who had arrived in childhood were somewhere in between. So the culture of the home – the culture the parents brought with them from Hong Kong – wasn’t what determined the offsprings’ personality. The children who were raised in Canada became Canadians.

In addition, the docketing statement filed by Brookens specified only the final order of the District Court and the two hearings before the U.S. Magistrate, all of which related solely to American Security's counterclaim.

He has also accused national security advisor Ajit Doval of blocking crucial investigations into the matter.

On October 23, Sinha says he was informed by DIG/DD (SU) – the head of the CBI’s phone surveillance division – that a person had spoken spoke to Samant Goel (a senior R&AW official who was also identified in the CBI’s FIR) “and asked to help him to which Samant Goel replied that things have been managed with PMO and everything is fine.

Dayal Upadhyaya. In the section on great leaders of India, ‘Mahapurush’, the names of Nehru as well as Mahatma Gandhi are conspicuous by their absence. Almost 10 lakh senior school students in Uttar Pradesh are forced to study the booklet, appear for an exam, and be rewarded if they perform well. Many of the ‘great men’ listed in the booklet have never taken part in the freedom struggle, and never been jailed for combating colonialism, unlike Nehru and the Mahatma. But their names occupy pride of place in oral and written histories authored by the BJP. Leaders who fought for Independence are simply written off.

The historical perspective

The belittling of Pandit Nehru is odd, because the standing of the current Prime Minister is notof human freedom, does not endure. Unexpected moments arise in the life of a society when its members clamour for change, when existing gods are brought down, and new ones erected in their place, condemned to wait for their own downfall. All of us should be wary of changing tides of fortune.

Fortune, wrote the 16th century political theorist of Florence, Niccolò Machiavelli, is unpredictable and inexplicable. She is an active sharer in man’s making of history, she produces the unforeseen, and she will never be dominated, but will dominate men. That is why Machiavelli advised the Prince of Florence to study history. The public role of history is to remind rulers that fortune is fickle. After all, Nehru, who once led India to freedom, is vilified in his


own country by the benighted cyberspace industry. This is short-sighted, because to unremember the man is to forget that there is an alternative to narrow and energy-consuming nationalism.

Despite all attempts, Nehru continues to be remembered by many for his contribution to the institutionalisation of democracy, establishing institutions of excellence, and his conviction that poverty and inequality in India cannot be tackled by the market. There is, however, more to a good society: solidarity with struggling people within and outside the country.

Nehru, as one of the most distinguished leaders of Third World solidarity, reached out to the rest of the colonised world, and forged a joint front against colonialism and a reinvented imperialism. He was, by temperament and experience, a cosmopolitan. His frequent visits to Europe, his deep familiaritywith the past, and his understanding of the contemporary ideologies of the day, from liberalism to Fabian socialism, to communist internationalism, had convinced him that the future of India was incomplete without the liberation of other colonies.

Role of intellectual journeys

Nehru’s commitment to the independence of the Third World had been shaped by intellectual journeys through history, as well as participation in a number of international conferences such as the Congress of Oppressed Nationalities in Brussels in 1927. He played a prominent role in the 1955 Bandung Conference, which set the stage for the emergence of a new bloc, and a new ideology in global affairs. Representatives of 29 countries from the global South, comprising well over a billion people, met to consider and debate on how they could


help each other to neutralise the harmful effects of colonialism, and bring economic and social well-being to their people. Towering over leaders who had won their political spurs by piloting their countries to independence were Nehru, Kwame Nkrumah, the Prime Minister of Ghana, Gamal Abdel Nasser, the President of Egypt, Zhou Enlai, the Premier of China, and Ho Chi Minh, the Prime Minister of Vietnam. The agenda included every topic over which the colonised and the newly decolonised world had agonised for decades — religion, colonialism, sovereignty, and world peace. The Bandung meeting sparked off reflections on the distinct attractions of non-alignment, and of the strengths that a movement of the non-aligned could acquire in global forums.

Solo (Robert Vaughn) and Illya (David McCallum) at the climax of The Deadly Quest Affair

The fourth season of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. would take a serious turn compared with the campy third season. The new tone was reflected in one of the fourth season’s early scripts.

The Deadly Quest Affair was written in May 1967. Some pages of the script by Robert E. Thompson are dated as early as May 2. Other pages are dated May 16, with some pages revised on June 5. However, the episode wouldn’t be seen until Oct. 30, the eighth episode actually broadcast.

Thompson had written one first-season episode, The Green Opal Affair. The new day-to-day producer, Anthony Spinner, sought to bring back as many first-season scribes as possible. Spinner, in fact,


West Coast music operation. It was in that capacity that Stevens scored the Hawaii Five-O pilot. But Stevens couldn’t do every job himself. Thus, he hired Williams to score 1969’s The Reivers, which CBS released under the Cinema Center Films label. The Steve McQueen movie helped Williams transition from TV to films.

Stevens died in 1991, at the age of 62, of cancer. His lasting music achievement was the original 1968-80 Five-O series. Not only did he write the theme, he created the music template for the series.

Stevens delivered episode scores for 11 of the 12 seasons. The Five-O theme was often used by Stevens and other composers in the background music. It showed up as an action riff. It would also be slowed way down for reflective momentsin a story.

This decade, Stevens got attention for his other work. The DVD set for the 1960-62 Thriller anthology series with Boris Karloff featured a number of episodes where viewers can isolate the scores of Stevens and Jerry Goldsmith.

A Morton Stevens title card (for music supervision, not for his theme) for a first-season episode of Hawaii Five-O

Jon Burlingame, who has written extensively about film and television music, did a commentary track about each composer. He discussed Stevens’ work in detail.

Stevens’ work on Hawaii Five-O represents a paradox. It’s a famous TV theme. Million of people know it. Yet he’s relatively obscure. Stevens had a successful career. Yet his contemporaries — such as Jerry Goldsmith and John Williams — achieved more fame than he did.

Regardless, the Five-O theme is


music department.

In that capacity, he hired composers who had to work under tight deadlines. Wilson hired some of the best, some of whom would become major film composers.

One of Wilson’s hires was Jerry Goldsmith (1929-2004). Goldsmith already had credits at CBS. But the network let him go.

Stanley Wilson’s title card (along with others) on an episode of Thriller, whose composers included Jerry Goldsmith.

Wilson wisely assigned him jobs at Revue-Universal. Some of Goldsmith’s best television work was on the studio’s 1960-62 anthology series Thriller hosted by Boris Karloff. For a 2010 home video release, extras included permitting viewers to listen to Goldsmith’s music only for episodes he scored.

Wilson (whose title was either “musical supervisor” or “music supervisor”) also brought on John Williams to work on the 1960-62 series Checkmate,a detective series created by Eric Ambler. It was one of the earliest credits for Williams. Williams was also hired by Wilson to work on the anthology show Kraft Suspense Theater.

Other notable Wilson hires included Morton Stevens, beginning with an episode of The General Electric Theater. The episode starred Sammy Davis Jr. Stevens worked for Davis as his arranger.

Wilson hired Stevens for the Davis episode of The GE Theater. That began a career switch for Stevens of scoring television shows. That included scoring the pilot for Hawaii Five-O and devising its iconic theme. Stevens also was a major composer on Thriller.

Other Wilson hires included Quincy Jones for the pilot of Ironside (resulting in the creation of another well-known theme) and Dave Grusin on a number of Universal projects.


They included the 1968 television movie Prescription: Murder that introduced Lt. Columbo to television audiences.

Jon Burlingame, a journalist who has written extensively about television and film music, had a 2012 article in Variety when Universal named a street on its Southern California lot in honor of Wilson.

“Stanley Wilson Avenue connects Main Street with James Stewart Avenue on the Universal lot, not far from the now-demolished Stage 10 where its namesake conducted literally thousands of hours of music by young composers who would go on to become the biggest names in Hollywood film music,” Burlingame wrote.

On his blog, Burlingame wrote an additional tribute. “Wilson is an unsung hero in the film/TV music business.”

The name Morton Stevens is barely known by the general public. Yet his signature piece of work — the theme to Hawaii Five-O (or Five-0 as it’s spelled for the revival series that began in 2010) — is almost universally recognized.

In the 1950s, Stevens worked for Sammy Davis Jr. as his music arranger. Then, in 1960, Davis had the chance to perform a dramatic role in The Patsy, an episode of The General Electric Theater, an anthology series.

According to television and film music historian Jon Burlingame (in an audio commentary for the DVD set for the Thriller anthology show hosted by Boris Karloff), Davis wanted Stevens to score the episode. Stevens got the assignment and made a career switch.

Stevens quickly began scoring a variety of genres, includingStevens also did the first new arrangement of Goldsmith’s theme, which first appeared with the 15th episode, The Deadly Decoy Affair. It would be used for almost all of the second half of the second season.

In all, Stevens did four original U.N.C.L.E. scores but his music was frequently re-used in first-season U.N.C.L.E. episodes without an original score. Often, these “stock scores” paired Goldsmith music (composed for three episodes) with that of Stevens. Their styles melded well.

In April of 1965, Stevens became the head of CBS’ West Coast music operation involved with the network’s in-house productions. As a result, he assigned other composers on CBS productions while taking on some jobs himself.

In that capacity, he scored the 1968 pilot for Hawaii Five-O. In that production, Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord)
