“Flash was always in the movie, we just got lucky because Justice League was happening and they had the uniform, they had the assets, so we were able to get that photography.”

Ayer revealed that the scene was filmed while Suicide Squad was in post-production. And when asked if Zack Snyder, executive producer on the film, had directed it, Ayer revealed he had.

###### The role of NHS Education for Scotland (NES) in postgraduate GP training

NES is an NHS Scotland board with national responsibility for GP postgraduate training.Applicants apply to train in the Scottish deanery; if accepted, they can specify one of four regions within which they wish to train. Each region has several training programmes, each with their own training programme directors:West Region: the largest region, covering Greater Glasgow, South West Scotland, and much of the central belt, including Stirlingshire.South East Region: covers Edinburgh, West Lothian, and the South East of Scotland, including some of Fife.East Region: covers the cities of Perth and Dundee, as well as wider Tayside and some of Fife.North Region: covers the cities of Aberdeen and Inverness, and most of the highlands.

They also felt that experience during training of how practices adapt to work with high levels of deprivation could provide useful skills for dealing with any patient, regardless of the type of practice the trainees work in long-term.

Many of the benefits identified from undertaking speciality training were similar for all practices involved in training, regardless of social context, although inspiring the next generation and future workforce planning were identified as particularly pertinent in deprived areas. The main benefit of training in areas of high deprivation was trainee exposure to the medical and social complexity that patients in these areas experienced.

The key barriers to training were increased workload and lack of time. Both trainers and


means GPs in deprived areas are paid less despite having a higher workload.^[@bib37]^ Despite this, and although it was mentioned, finance did not appear to be a significant issue for the GPs interviewed. The trainers who did mention it felt that, as the trainer's grant had not substantially increased, training was cost-neutral for the practice. The non-trainers felt the main reason they were not training was due to workload, and additional finances would not change that.

One key theme, not mentioned in the literature but important to the interviewees, was the perceived need for increased supervision and support in their context because of high levels of medical and social complexity. This suggests that in deprived areas, the increased supervision required for more complex patients means the benefit to theaging as a physiological and social phenomenon and has implications for analyzing and interpreting the data we commonly use. Moreover, it has potential policy implications related to social support for elderly persons as well as their health and well-being.

South African Context {#section2-0164027514545976}
---------------------

The proportion of elderly persons in South Africa is projected to double between 2009 and 2050, from 7% to 14% ([@bibr61-0164027514545976]). Most of the older Black South Africans "age in place", that is, live with families, particularly in rural areas, where there are very few nursing homes or other facilities to accommodate older persons as they become frail. However, unlike other countries, in sub-Saharan Africa, South Africans aged 60 and above are eligible for a noncontributory pension. This is particularly critical in a context of high unemployment,


percentage of older persons' households (12--14%) fit in the linear linked multigenerational category. Thus, it constitutes a small proportion of all households with an older person. The most common category for households with an older person, and one that increases over the three time periods, is the complex linked multigenerational category. In 2000, this category captured about a third of all households with an older person, but in 2010, it was just over 40% of older persons' households. The *other* category is also sizeable (between 20% and 29%), with an increase from 2000 to 2005, followed by a decrease in 2010. Thus, we see that there have in fact been changes over time in the types of households in which older people live, with older persons being increasinglyin the MRC/Wits Rural Public Health and Health Transitions Research Unit (Agincourt) in the Faculty of Health Sciences, School of Public Health, at the University of the Witwatersrand, and is a research associate at the University of Colorado, Institute of Behavioral Science.

Reese Witherspoon in talks for Passengers

To be directed by Brian Kirk, the story picks up as a starship transporting human cargo to a colony malfunctions, causing one passenger (to be played by Reeves) to thaw early from his cryogenic sleep.

Desperate not to be left alone for the next century, he decides to wake up another passenger, a female – the role Witherspoon has entered negotiations to play, according to sources quoted by The Hollywood Reporter.

Witherspoon can currently be seen in Mud alongside Matthew McConaughey. She next will appear in Devil’s Knot, the true-life drama about the West Memphis Three.

Reeves is producing the movie, which is due to shoot in Montreal later this year.as heirs his widow, Katherine C. Rogers, a son, Harrison C. Rogers, and a daughter, Le Claire Rogers Estes. That Alfred H. Rogers died testate, but that within the time required by the statutes of Missouri, and on July 30, 1920, Katherine C. Rogers, widow, filed in the probate court of Jasper county, Missouri, a rejection of said will, by the terms of which she refused to accept the provisions thereof and elected to take under the statutes of said state, and reserved to herself in the estate of the decedent her marital rights, to wit, a child's part in lieu of the provisions made by said will. (Then follow certain allegations relative to the widow's rights under state statutes, and certain proceedings in the state courts over


1923, and the plea sic in abatement based on the original valuation was overruled in part and allowed in part on the 24th day of November, 1923, and that plaintiffs were required to pay an additional sum of $23,665.11. That said additional tax was on the 25th day of February, 1924, paid. That on the ____ day of September, 1924, and within the time allowed by statute, plaintiffs filed a claim for refund with the Treasury Department asserting that the collection of tax by the department was illegal and erroneous, and claiming a refund of $34,759.80 on account of payment of taxes upon that part of the estate of A. H. Rogers which under the laws of the state of Missouri belonged to Katherine C. Rogers. That subsequently,and the provisions thereof aforesaid, as well as the construction and application thereof by the taxing authorities, were and are in conflict with the following provisions of the Constitution of the United States, to wit, that part of section 2, article 1, providing as follows: "Representatives and direct taxes shall be apportioned among the several states which may be included within this Union, according to their respective numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole number of free persons, including those bound to service for a term of years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three-fifths of all other persons. The actual enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of ten


term than twenty years, shall be granted and assigned as in personal property."
"Sec. 319. Share of Widow or Widower in Personal Estate.  When the husband or wife shall die, leaving a child or children or other descendants, the widow or widower shall be entitled absolutely to a share in the personal estate belonging to the husband or wife at the time of his or her death, equal to the share of a child of such deceased husband or wife."
"Sec. 324. Child's Part, When Taken in Lieu of Dower.  When the husband shall die, leaving a child or children or other descendants, the widow, if she has a child or children by such husband living, may, in lieu of dower of the one-third part of all landspersonal estate of the deceased husbands?
In determining this question we must consider, not only the language of the act itself and pronouncements of the Supreme Court in those instances in which that court has given interpretation and limitation to that particular term, but also the nature of the interest of the decedent at the time of his death, and the nature of the interest of the surviving spouse both before and after the death of the decedent. This is particularly true because these cases are pioneer cases, no cases having heretofore arisen so far as we are advised under statutes similar to the Missouri statutes in question. Careful examination and analysis of the sections of the Missouri statutes quoted, bring us to the conclusion that the language of


section 315, "Every widow shall be endowed of the third part of all the lands whereof her husband, or any other person to his use, was seized of an estate of inheritance, at any time during the marriage, to which she shall not have relinquished her right of dower, in the manner prescribed by law, to hold and enjoy during her natural life," implies common-law dower.
"Common-law dower is an estate of freehold not of inheritance. Dower is measured by the husband's interest in the land, and can rise no higher. The common-law right of dower entitles the wife to a life estate, and a life estate only, in one-third of all the lands and tenements of which the husband was seized of an estate of inheritance at anysucceeds on a death, but the interest which ceased by reason of the death." Measured and tested by the characteristics of common-law dower, let us inquire what was the interest that ceased by reason of death and what was its characteristic? To constitute foundation for common-law dower, the husband must not only have been seized of an estate of inheritance, but he must have had the freehold estate, and that freehold estate ceased on his death, and immediately there ripened the freehold estate for life in the surviving widow. Whatever verbal quibbles and controversies may be indulged in, a more plain case of transfer by death cannot well be imagined, when we consider the freehold estate for life in the husband which is the essential foundation for dower


and the freehold estate for life thereafter in the widow which is the estate of common law dower. Under section 303, Rev. St. Mo. 1919, real estate of inheritance descends to the husband's kindred subject to the widow's dower. We think that simply means that on the death of a freehold estate for life in one-third of the lands vested in the surviving widow. All of the rest of such estate including the remainder in the one-third part assigned to the widow as dower passed to the kindred. We therefore come to the conclusion that on the death of a husband intestate seized of an estate of inheritance in lands and leaving a widow surviving there is under section 315 of the Missouri statutes quoted, a transfer withinthe meaning of section 401 of the Revenue Act of 1918, subject in case a child or children also survive, to the right of such widow to elect to take in lieu of such dower, under section 324 of the Missouri statutes, the share of a child.
Now what was the share of a child? Manifestly it is that share provided in section 303 of the Missouri statutes, supra, which the child takes in any real estate of inheritance of which the deceased had title at the time of his death, and which the child takes absolutely and to the extent of the estate of inheritance of which the father was seized. The widows in the instant cases elected to take the shares of a child under section 324,


the subject was questioned because of the contention that it was not a part of the estate of the decedent, turned upon the power and right of disposition during the life of the decedent rather than upon the power and right of use and enjoyment during that period. That was true in Reinecke v. Northern Trust Co., supra, and in Chase National Bank v. United States, supra, and in many of the cases cited in the opinions in those cases. But the present cases it would seem must turn upon the power and right of use and enjoyment in the husband during life; that is, do the "economic benefits" which may be the subject of the tax necessarily include the power and right of disposition in the decedentstatutes expressly says: "in lieu of dower of the one-third part of all lands whereof her husband died or shall die seized of an estate of inheritance," etc.
It is next contended that the widow's share in the personal property does not fall within the requirements of subdivision (a) in that it is not subject to the payment of charges against the estate. We think this contention is not sound. Section 319 of the Missouri statutes provides as follows: "When the husband or wife shall die, leaving a child or children or other descendants, the widow or widower shall be entitled absolutely to a share in the personal estate belonging to the husband or wife at the time of his or her death, equal to the share of a


Pete Buttigieg is quickly ramping up campaign activity in Texas after strong finishes in Iowa and New Hampshire, sending two dozen staffers to the Super Tuesday state.

The 24 staffers start Monday and will help volunteers already on the ground, his campaign told The Texas Tribune. The Texas ramp-up is part of a broader expansion across the delegate-rich states that vote March 3.

“We are building the campaign that will not only win this nomination but will defeat Donald Trump in November,” said Samantha Steelman, the campaign’s organizing director for Super Tuesday states.

Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has ascended nationally after surging to top-two finishes in both Iowa and New Hampshire. Earlier this week, he placed second in New Hampshire to Sen. Bernie Sanders. But according to the most recent University of Texas/Texas Tribune Poll from early November, the mayor still has work to do to improve his standing in the state. He earned 6% in the poll, behind Biden, Warren and Sanders.

Buttigieg is one of the less frequent visitors to Texas; his last visit to the state was last month, when he held a series of fundraising events in Houston and Dallas. He will not be at this

the "race," is a helpful advance. The creation of a new order also helps bring together the various dimensions of atonement: the "objective," the "victory," and the "subjective."

Yet for all that, there is something disconcerting about Forsyth's reconstruction. No doubt it lies in the nature of the program itself: the moralization of dogma. This leads to employing holiness as a moral category that qualifies love. It is difficult to escape suspicion that the long shadow of the "great and sublime Kant" still broods over the enterprise. Can holiness be thus moralized? Rudolf Otto taught us to look with suspicion on such a move. Moralization always involves a narrowing and perhaps trivialization of "the Holy." Further, when the love of God is qualified by moralized holiness there is adied, and rose: God was _in Christ_ reconciling the world unto himself. Faith is to be reborn a creature of that God. To have faith is to become a part of the world—this world—God is reconciling unto himself. Then perhaps what Luther spoke of as the "happy exchange" will really occur: Jesus takes our place and gives us his. He becomes historical so that we too might become so and be saved by the God of history.

kind of God would in the first place have made a world which that God has then constantly to adjust? In the contemporary church, such questions have extensively undone the practice of prayer, which is interpreted and phrased not as actual conversation with someone who can and does act but as self-help and self-exhortation: "Lord, make us feel right about the poor," instead of "Lord, feed the poor." Nor is it only petitionary prayer that succumbs. If God can do nothing about the crops or an election, for example, neither _has_ God done anything about such matters, and there is also no basis for praise.

In fact, however, the one to whom we pray is not an agent merely exterior to natural process. All actual occasions occur not mechanisticallyNor was it assumed that there were ironclad laws that God must break to perform miracles. For the biblical witnesses, the whole world process was totally God's doing; miracles were only new and surprising ways of God's working. God's miraculous activity occurs within and through the present structure of nature. A miracle becomes visible in the natural context insofar as we observe something that runs counter to our usual sense of experience, the consequences of which allow it to be perceived as possessing saving significance. At times the miracle may just be an unusual constellation of causes, conforming to the laws of nature and occurring at the right time. For instance, according to Exod. 14:21, a strong wind began to blow just when the Israelites tried to cross


church is the bride of Christ, baptism is the bride's toilette (Eph. 5:25–27). What predications of this son actually appear in the New Testament are clearly a matter of rhetorical chance.

All these ecclesial metaphors for baptism are eschatological. The church's privileges are particular anticipations of the life of the kingdom of God. Just so, they can all be evoked together as "the gift of the Holy Spirit," for the Spirit _is_ the advance payment on the eschaton, the life of a community whose life is specific and founded hope for the fulfillment of God's promises (2 Cor. 1:22; 5:5; Eph. 1:14). The decisive New Testament characterization of all this side of baptism is therefore that it is the gift of the Spirit. The difference between John's baptism andseparate faith and the thing it clings and is bound to, however outward it is. Indeed, it _must_ be outward."

As soon as so drastic a thing is said, the irrevocability of both baptism and infant baptism cease to be problematic. And the need for the "character," or any replacement, disappears. For the external fact of baptism remains fixed as an item of my past, and if _it_ is the object of faith, then it is always there to be believed, to enable precisely justifying faith. "One must use baptism..., so that when sin or conscience afflict us, we say, 'I am nevertheless baptized, and if I am baptized, I am promised that I shall be made blessed.'

Today millennial thought is mainly advocated by sects, such as Jehovah's Witnesses or Seventh-day Adventists, and by fundamentalist groups who have as their main concern the pronouncement of immediate doom on the world and rescue of the faithful. We would be too hasty if we assumed that millennial and enthusiastic groups have contributed nothing to the Christian faith.

creation but to cherish and guard it against destruction. To accomplish this goal God has endowed us with a discerning mind, and he has given us his self-disclosure in Jesus Christ to remind us of this task.

The eschatological promise as proclaimed by the Judeo-Christian tradition allows us to perceive the goals and limitations of all our actions, including our involvement in the ecological crisis. Painful as it may be, it shows us that our world is transitory and devoid of lasting value. But the interim character of our world docs not necessitate a deterioration of present conditions and should not elicit our resignation.

CEO of Borussia Dortmund Hans-Joachim Watzke has suggested that potential cases of post-traumatic stress disorder could be to blame for the players' capitulation since the start of the season.

It was April 11 when Dortmund's team bus was hit by a bomb attack ahead of the game against Champions League opponents Atletico Madrid at the Westfaldstadion.

The attack left centre-half Marc Bartra in need of surgery on a broken bone in the wrist, while a nearby police officer was also hospitalised.

And now, after a brilliant start to the Bundesliga campaign, Watzke has claimed that it could be due to the attack that his side have fallen so drastically.

 "We should not underestimate that it can still trigger post-traumatic stress months after it happened," Watzke said during his speech at theclub's annual shareholders' meeting, according to ESPN.

"I've discussed this with psychologists. They say that the risk is extremely high some six, seven months after such an attack. We have professional help."

After such a strong start to the current campaign, Dortmund have fallen hugely. Having picked up 19 points from their opening seven games, the side have since only accumulated two points from their following six matches.

This switch of form leaves the club in fifth - eight points adrift from leaders Bayern Munich, and in desperate need of rejuvenation some time soon.

While the club remain patient with manager Peter Bosz, Dortmund have also already been knocked out of the Champions League - a competition in which they'd have expected to reach the latter stages of when the season kicked


COHOES — John Siakala was always looking to strike up a conversation with anyone who was around, be it a longtime friend or a random passer-by.

Friday night, that outgoing, hospitable demeanor cost Siakala his life.

The 67-year-old Cohoes resident of more than four decades opened the door of his Ogden Mills apartment to a stranger who knocked. The man, a repeat felon police say was high on crack cocaine, forced his way into Siakala's home and killed him.

"It's tragic," said Cohoes Mayor John McDonald. "John was a kind, unassuming guy. Easy to talk to and work with. We just saw him Friday morning."

Siakala was a regular at Marra's Pharmacy, over the years becoming almost as much of a mainstay as the 80-year-old business itself.

"We'd usually see him about twicea day. He was a good guy, a big Yankees fan," said McDonald, who runs Marra's with his mother, Barbara. "You just have to take a deep breath and say a prayer."

Cohoes police would not comment on the details of Siakala's killing, only confirming that a suspect in the case had been arrested. Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple said the suspect is Mark Richardson, a 53-year-old homeless man who, according to Department of Correctional Services records, has served four prison terms since 1987, including two for robbery and one for burglary.

McDonald gave the following account of Friday's incident, which unfolded around 9:30 p.m.: Richardson entered Ogden Mills, a senior home on Ontario Street, and began knocking on doors, allegedly planning to rob whoever would answer.

Siakala, who lived on


the third floor, was the first to open his door. A struggle ensued when Richardson attempted to rob Siakala. Richardson then beat Siakala until he was unconscious and fled the scene.

On his way out of the complex, Richardson confronted a woman on the second floor and struck her as well. A relative of someone who lives at Ogden Mills heard the commotion and chased Richardson out of the building. Troy police arrived and tracked Richardson down through nearby woods with the help of a police dog. Captain John Cooney said officers found Richardson sweating, lying down and out of breath in a grassy field 400 yards from the Odgen Mills.

Cooney said police thought Richardson had only assaulted the woman until they found Siakala's driver's license in Richardson's pocket.Officers then went to Siakala's home and found his body.

Richardson was arrested and charged with burglary and two counts of assault. Officers said Richardson appeared to be high on crack-cocaine at the time of the arrest. Additional charges against Richardson will likely be filed early this week, McDonald said.

It was unclear if Richardson used a weapon to beat his alleged victims. The female who was allegedly hit by Richardson was being treated for injuries at Albany Medical Center Sunday and is expected to be released this week.

Kevin Williams said he was visiting his sisters at Ogden Mills Friday night and arrived just as the woman Richardson allegedly attacked was being taken away on a stretcher.

"My sisters live right next door to her," Williams said. "I went up to


comment Sunday. Siakala's death was the first homicide in the city since 2005.

Richardson has spent a combined 15 years in prison for four different convictions, his last coming in 2006 for criminal contempt in Rensselaer County, according to DOCS records. Richardson was convicted of robbery in 1987 and 1992 and convicted of burglary in 1997. Those three convictions were in Westchester County.

"News like this gets me so frustrated, because it's a sad depiction of the society we live in," McDonald said. "There are too many people out there that are lost and commit senseless and selfish acts with no idea of the impact of their actions. No one should have to be subjected to that."given the night shift as a sanitation/utility worker.

Peterson, like Aragon, involved a plaintiff who became dissatisfied with the handling of a grievance and filed an action which alleged that the union had breached its duty of fair representation and, based on the same alleged misconduct, that the attorneys were liable for professional malpractice. A factual difference between Aragon and Peterson is that the attorneys in the former were on retainer with Union while the attorneys in Peterson were in-house counsel.
After a jury trial in Peterson, the district court issued a directed verdict in favor of an attorney defendant, ruling that the legal malpractice claim was subsumed in and precluded by the plaintiff's breach of duty claim against the union. The jury returned a verdict against

The big team news before the game saw Youssef Mulumbu return to the side after his African adventure in place of Lukaku. In defence, there was one change with Liam Ridgwell replacing the suspended Goran Popov, after his moment of stupidity against Tottenham. Peter Odemwingie travelled with the team, but was not named in the team. The hosts made one change with Jonjo Shelvey replacing Daniel Sturridge.

The First Half

The first shot of this half went to Luis Suarez, who after a few minutes dragged a shot wide. Thenjust ten minutes into the half, Jonjo Shelvey sent the ball into the back of the net, only for it to be correctly ruled offside much to the delight of the travelling fans. This offside goal seemed to give Liverpool the strength to control the game and they dictating the tempo of the game for the majority of this half, with the next chance falling to Daniel Agger who very nearly headed home from a corner, only for Foster to tip the effort over the bar.

Stewart Downing was next to have a chance but yet again Foster came to the rescue. After a few more chances for the home team, it was Steven Reid who very nearly came close to scoring, however in the wrong net, kicking the


the Liverpool fans and players, in particular Luis Suarez, who was having a good time testing Foster.

Foster yet again soon pulled off another great save when he did a reflex save to deny Gerrard following a strong 12 yard shot from the England captain. Fabio Borini had the chance to score with the follow up, but sent the ball wide of the net.Next chance was to go to Downing again, who this time sent his free kick over the crossbar. Shortly after this, Lukaku was brought on by Clarke much to the delight of the away fans. However, just moments later, Liverpool were awarded a penalty.

Luis Suarez went down very easily in the box following a ‘challenge’ by Jonas Olsson. It was clear this was a soft penalty,News: Biathlon Team Earns Third in National Competition

Capt. Eric Nordgren takes aim at a target during the Chief of the National Guard Bureau Biathlon Championships at Ethan Allen Training Site in Vermont, March 11. Nordgren’s strong performance throughout the races once again earned him a coveted spot on the prestigious All-Guard Biathlon Team.

JERICHO, Vt. — North Dakota National Guard Biathlon Team members skied and shot their way to a 3rd place finish in a national competition that concluded Sunday at Camp Ethan Allen Training Site in Vermont. The Chief of the National Guard Bureau Biathlon Championships pitted North Dakota, last year’s overall champions, against other biathlon powerhouses, including Vermont, Minnesota and Utah.

The competition saw strong individual performances by North Dakota Guardsmen, but there was heartbreak with the first


team race.

Two North Dakota Guardsmen competed well enough to earn a place on the prestigious All-Guard Team, an elite group comprised of the top biathletes in the entire National Guard. Capt. Eric Nordgren, a member of the North Dakota Air National Guard’s 119th Wing, and 2nd Lt. Blake Hillerson, who serves with the North Dakota Army National Guard’s 426th Signal Network Support Company, both are repeat team members. This will be Hillerson’s fourth year qualifying for the team and Nordgren’s second. As part of the team, they’ll again have the opportunity to train with top-level coaches and compete internationally. All-Guard Team members also have competed with the U.S. Winter Olympic Biathlon Team. One of those former Olympians competes on the Vermont team, which shows the talent and skill27th. In the novice competition category, which is reserved for first-year biathletes, Maj. Jon Wutzke, of Fargo, placed 8th and Sgt. Adam Walsvik, of Hazen, N.D., placed 19th.

The sprint race had been delayed a day due to a foot and a half of fresh snow, which made the race more grueling.

“Maj. Andy Parsons, NGB (National Guard Bureau) biathlon coordinator, described the competition best when he said the sprint race was best remembered as the ‘Snow Race’ with 18 inches of new snow, a very soft base and big hill climbs,” said veteran team Skalicky. “The pursuit race the second day was the ‘Wind Race’ with blasts of wind up to 30 knots on the range. The patrol race the third day is best remembered as the ‘Rain Race’


as the snow turned to slush and the temperature peaked at 42 degrees. Finally, the last day was the relay race, which can be remembered as the ‘Normal Race’ with a dusting of new snow, a packed track, very little wind and temps around freezing.”

In the so-called “Wind Race” — the 12.5-kilometer pursuit race — Hillerson again placed third with a time of 46 minutes, 27 seconds. Nordgren was a little more than a minute behind him, which was good for fourth place. Kent Pulst garnered a 14th place finish, Brandon Pulst finished 27th and Skalicky came in 36th. In the novice category, Walsvik placed 12th and Wutzke earned 13th.

After the two individual races, North Dakota was poised to capture the team silver as they headed into thepenalties (while) every other team had at least one.”

Brandon Pulst was team leader for the patrol race, and he was joined by Kent Pulst, Blake Hillerson and Eric Nordgren. The remaining North Dakota team members joined with a Colorado biathlete to compete but, as a composite team, they were unable to earn an official placing.

The final race, a 4-by-7.5-kilometer relay race, “was an up and down race for us,” Becker said.

Known for its strong shooting abilities, the North Dakota team was faced with the rarity of missed targets, which forces the biathlete to ski a penalty lap. The team fought its way to a 3rd place finish by the race’s end.

“It was a very tough week of races,” Becker summed up this week. “Rain and snowstorms in Vermont

Going out to the same organ grinder tune she came in with

Bachmann’s own Iowa chairman, state Sen. Kent Sorenson — who just hours earlier had appeared with her at a campaign event — suddenly turned up onstage at a rally for Rep. Ron Paul (Tex.) and announced that he was ditching her.
She fired back with an accusation that Sorenson “personally told me he was offered a large sum of money to go to work for the Paul campaign.”
Then came another twist: Wes Enos, Bachmann’s political director, contradicted his candidate, saying in a statement that Sorenson’s switch “was in no way financially motivated.”

with all the farm subsidies/Gov. welfare she gets and the money/Gov money her gay husbands get for "de-gaying" men at his "clinic" i wonder.Waste Management executives Tim Cesarek, managing director of Organic Growth, and David McConnell, a market area vice president, said in announcements this week. The statement has become a mantra for the company, and in the area of organics processing and recycling that has translated to a series of investments and projects that have accelerated in the past two years.

Investing in the Peninsula Compost Company

The first of the two most recent developments surfaced Tuesday when Waste Management released highlights of its strategic investment in the Peninsula Compost Company LLC. PCC owns and operates the Wilmington Organic Recycling Center, a $20-million, state-of-the-art, large-scale facility that processes commercial food and yard waste, turning it into compost.

Developed on a former brownfield site, the 27-acre facility is located across from the Port of


Wilmington, making it readily accessible to waste haulers in Delaware as well as Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

The Wilmington facility processes up to 300 tons per day of organic waste and has permitted capacity for as much as 600 tons per day. Through its investment, Waste Management now considers the Wilmington site part of the WM network of organics processing facilities. WM has an organics processing capacity of more than 1.7 million tons a year, and the Wilmington facility could add over 200,000 tons to that figure, according to Waste Management.

Organics Processing in Florida

Yesterday, WM said it is building a facility to process pre-consumer commercial food waste, yard waste from residential and business customers, and clean demolition wood waste from the Central Florida area. The composting facility isbeing developed at WM's Vista Landfill in Apopka, Fla.

The Vista property is about 160 acres and the new organics recycling facility will occupy 16 acres of the site, WM Community Affairs Manager Amy Boyson told GreenBiz.com.

The pilot project at the Vista Landfill is the second of its kind in Florida for Waste Management and is expected to receive about 85 tons of organic waste daily when it opens this fall, Boyson said. The company recently broke ground for the development after relocating eight gopher tortoises, a protected species found in the area, Boyson added.

Waste Management's first dedicated composting site in Florida was announced in January and is scheduled to begin operation later this spring. The 8-acre facility in Southern Florida is being built at the Okeechobee Landfill and


will process food, yard and clean wood waste into compost and bagged lawn and garden products.

The launch of the Vista and Okeechobee organics processing sites will bring the number of composting facilities in the WM network to 36, said Wes Muir, the company's director of corporate communications.

Developing End Markets

The projects to build the Florida processing sites and the investment in PCC's Wilmington facility follow Waste Management's acquisition of a major equity interest in Garick LLC. The firm based in Cleveland, Ohio, is a leading manufacturer, marketer and distributor of organic lawn and garden products. The transaction, announced in September 2010, gives WM a larger stake in developing high value-added end markets for recycled organic materials -- an integral element of the company's growth strategy for that line ofProtest held in opposition of controversial blogger

SUGAR LAND, TX --

About three dozens protestors demosntrated outside a Sugar Land Tea Party event Tuesday evening.

The focus of their objection is controversial blogger and political activist Pam Geller. She is best known for her criticism of Islam and leading the opposition to the mosque near Ground Zero. Some of her writing was cited in the manifesto written by the man who went on a shooting rampage in Norway this summer.

Geller says she's not anti-Islam but rather against what she calls the Islamization of the United States and restrictions on freedoms.

The protestors say Geller's anti-Muslim crusade is hurting people and that they are standing in support of diversity.

This event was originally going to be held at the


Hyatt in Sugar Land. The Tea Party asked to use a room there free of charge and the request was granted. The hotel's manager says on Sunday he found out about the protests planned against the event and was concerned about the disturbance that would create for paying customers. He then asked the Sugar Land Tea Party to move its event to another location.

The manager says the decision was a business one, not one of politics, and that he helped the organization find a new location.for strategy, but used alone it has limits, which is where altering the information of the game can assist.

Women groups in UP have been demanding ban on liquor.

In photos that have gone viral on social media, an Uttar Pradesh Minister, Swati Singh, appears to be inaugurating a beer bar, in the presence of senior officials. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has demanded an explanation.The "Be The Beer" bar opened on May 20 in state capital Lucknow. Mr Singh, the Minister in charge of Women's Welfare, Family and Child Welfare in the UP government, is seen cutting the ribbon and posing with what appears to be the menu card. An Indian Police Service (IPS) couple - Unnao Superintendent of Police Neha Pandey and her husband Gaurav Singh, a Rae Bareli


police officer - were also present. They have also been asked for an explanation."The Chief Minister has taken cognizance of the minister inaugurating a beer bar in the presence of senior officers and has asked her to clarify her stand," an official spokesman said on Monday night as the photos were widely shared.Ms Singh is the wife of Dayashankar Singh, who was suspended by the BJP for allegedly making derogatory remarks against Bahujan Samajwadi Party chief Mayawati.The photos have been seized by the opposition for a new offensive against the Yogi Adityanath-led BJP government."This aptly shows the contradictions in the ruling BJP... They say one thing, but practice something else," said Samajwadi Party spokesperson Rajendra Chaudhary.Mr Chaudhary said what the minister did was particularly offensive at a time"women in Uttar Pradesh are at the forefront of protests against liquor".Congress leader Dwijendra Tripathi said this incident shows the real "chaal (action), charitra (character) and chehra (face)" of the BJP government."They talk to impress the public... Their leaders talk about prohibition while a minister goes to inaugurate a beer bar," he said, questioning whether the bar was licensed.In Ms Singh's defence, BJP spokesperson Rakesh Tripathi said it had to be seen whether she was at the event to "promote entrepreneurship among women" as the bar is apparently owned by one.

"It has to be known under what circumstances she had taken part in the inauguration... It is said that a woman is the owner of the outlet and the minister was there to promote entrepreneurship among women," he

DUBAI - Former Iranian President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said the Syrian government, a strong ally of Tehran, had c arried out a chemical weapons attack against its own people, the semi-official Iranian Labour News Agency reported on Sunday.His remarks differed sharply from those of other Iranian officials , who have said rebels trying to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad were responsible for a poison gas attack on the outskirts of Damascus on Aug. 21 that has drawn Western threats of military reprisals against the Syrian government."The people have been the target of a chemical attack by their own government and now they must also wait for an attack by foreigners," Rafsanjani said, according to ILNA."Right now America, the Western world alongwith some of the Arab countries are nearly issuing a clarion call for war in Syria - may God have mercy on the people of Syria," he said."The people of Syria have seen much damage in these two years, the prisons are overflowing and they've converted stadiums into prisons, more than 100,000 people killed and millions displaced show the plight of Syria more than ever before," he added.Rafsanjani is a close ally of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and chairs Iran's Expediency Council, which advises Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.Iranian soldiers suffered chemical weapons attacks during the country's 1980-1988 war with Iraq, and Iran has repeatedly condemned their use.


In the U.S., an emerging movement of local communities has set to dismantle corporate power and assert democratic self-government by passing local laws codifying the rights of citizens and communities and banning corporate activities that violate those rights.

For decades, communities and activists across America have been trying to stop a wide range of harmful and unwanted corporate projects, including fracking, toxic sewage sludge dumps, factory farming and water privatization, threatening the health, safety and well-being of citizens and destroying the natural environment. Whenever communities try to stop these projects, however, they run into legal and governmental structures that prohibit them from protecting their residents and the local environment by banning these harmful corporate activities.

The Community Rights Movement, an emerging movement of local communities, seek to change this byseizing their right to democratic self-government through local law-making, In the last 15 years, close to 200 local communities in 10 states have passed local laws banning corporate threats like fracking and shale gas drilling, factory farming, toxic sewage sludge dumping, and water privatization. By passing these ordinances the communities are directly challenging the legal and governmental system that subordinate citizens and local communities to corporations.

Community Bills of Rights

In drafting the local laws, the communities are working together with the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF), a non-profit law firm based in Pennsylvania, providing free legal assistance to local governments and community organizations. When it first started up in 1995, CELDF defended communities in court, trying to stop specific corporate projects by appealing permits. However, it soon became


clear that it was not possible to stop the projects due to legal barriers against democratic self-government. Faced with this situation, communities then began asking CELDF to draft local laws that codify the right to local self-government and eliminate corporate so-called rights within their municipality.

First out was Wells, a small rural township in Fulton County, Pennsylvania, in 2000, trying to stop a corporation from placing a factory farm of 15000 hogs in the community, threatening their family farms and the environment. After trying to plead with the regulatory agency, they realized that the agency would not stop the factory farm as regulation is not about prohibiting corporate activities rather than issuing permits and regulating what amount of harm is allowable. The township then chose a different approach andtold CELDF to draw up a local law that would ban factory farms altogether. This resulted in the anti-corporate farming ordinance, prohibiting agribusiness corporations from engaging in farming or owning farmland in Wells. The ordinance passed unanimously by the Township supervisors, and the big agribusiness corporation left.

Other communities followed suit, and within a few years, 20 rural communities had passed similar anti-corporate farming ordinances. Soon communities began to ban other harmful activities too, like banning corporations from dumping toxic sewage sludge on their farmland as well as prohibiting Nestlé and other water corporations from engaging in water withdrawal for bottling within the community.

Video: Voices from the Community Rights Movement in Portland, Oregon.

The novelty of these laws lies in that they are not just about stopping things, but are


framed around rights. They are Community Bills of Rights, in which the communities codify their rights to, among other things, clean water, sustainable agriculture and energy, healthy food, and local self-government, and they ban any activity that violate those rights.

In several states, many small towns, as well as the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, have now passed rights to water ordinances. Pittsburgh was the first to pass this kind of ordinance in 2010, as the city of 300,000 was trying to stop fracking. The ordinance bans all oil and gas extraction within the municipality and strips oil and gas corporations of their constitutional rights within the municipality. Three years later, in 2013, Mora county became the first county in the US to ban oil and gas extraction by passingballot in November 2016.

Enacting and defending local Community Rights ordinances though, is just the first part of a broader organizing strategy. The long-term goal is to fundamentally change the American governmental and legal system by driving rights into the state and federal constitutions. Already local communities in several states are starting to join together in state-wide Community Rights Networks. Such networks have so far been established in six states, including Oregon, Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Washington State, and New Hampshire. The networks are aiming for amendments to the state constitution that would guarantee and protect the right to local self-government and elevate the rights of citizens and communities above those of corporations. The state networks have also created a National Community Rights Network, proposing an amendment to the federal

Three from the Vault

The verdict on the Grateful Dead has been in for years, and it's one that makes any argument pertaining to the cultural or artistic merits of the band, its music and its fans a moot point. The verdict is this: You get it, or you don't.

Sure, fan conversions happen, but they are a product of latent tendencies and sudden discovery than a gradual shift in taste or musical clime.

In a 30-year career that could justifiably be described as one long transition, there were several periods that are notable in their lasting development. 1975 (the hiatus year) was one; 1979 (new keyboard player) was one; 1989 (another new keyboard player, plus the addition of MIDI technology) was one; and certainly 1971 was one. Some seriousgrowth had occurred in the previous couple of years before '71. While 1969 was a year of deeply twisting compositions and acid-drenched improvisations, 1970 was a year (for the Dead, the rock 'n' roll community and the world at large) to take a step back  a breather, so to speak  and wrap one's head around the previous decade. Or at least to forget about it and breathe in some country air. The infusion of the Workingman's Dead and American Beauty material to the canon gave rise to the short-lived practice of opening their shows with an acoustic set. But it wasn't long before they were working that material into the electric sets, although even this was regarded as less a dramatic shift than a fine-tuning. From


beginning to end, the Dead  pranksters at heart  were modeling their shows on a compressed acid-trip experience.

So, it's 1971 that's captured on this third installment of the From the Vault series. In typical fashion, this one comes a full 15 years after the first two (not that they haven't kept the releases coming, in other forms – see the "Dick's Picks" series, for example). As a document of live Dead, this is really about as straightforward as it gets. Many of these songs are being played here for the first or second time ever, while songs which would later become vehicles for far-out psychedelic excursions ("Playin' in the Band," "Birdsong") are represented in somewhat tentative incarnations. The sole stretching-out points don't come until the second discher arrest as being illegal.  The trial court held a hearing on August 22, 2006.
Mark Brunner, a Williamson County defense attorney, testified first.  He stated that
on April 14, 2006, at around 4:00 p.m., he was driving his car down Sam Bass Road in
Round Rock, Texas.  A white Lexus driving in the same direction caught his attention.  He
testified that the car was driving erratically, "weaving, almost hitting the right hand
passenger side curb almost three times, and one time actually going up on the curb."
Brunner followed the Lexus to a residence, where he parked across the street and called
911.
Brunner then watched as the female driver slowly exited the vehicle and stumbled
into the house.  Brunner sat and waited for the police to arrive.


white Lexus.  He confirmed Brunner's account
of his arrival, and he further testified about the subsequent events leading to Giles's arrest.
Officer Connell testified that he approached Tome, who indicated that he resided at the
house.  Officer Connell asked Tome about the driver of the white Lexus.  Tome told Officer
Connell that the driver, Giles, was his girlfriend.  Tome told Officer Connell that Giles had
been at the Roadhouse Bar and that "it was very likely that she was intoxicated at that
time."  Officer Connell knew the Roadhouse Bar to be a place where alcoholic beverages
are served.
Officer Connell then asked to speak to Giles because he was in the process of
conducting an investigation.  He testified that Tome was reserved and appeared concerned
about why he neededto speak with Giles.  Officer Connell stated that Tome asked again
why he needed to speak with Giles, to which Officer Connell again responded that he was
conducting an investigation.  Officer Connell testified that at that point, Tome opened the
garage door and led him through the garage door.  Officer Connell stated that at no point
did Tome tell him that he could not come inside the house.  He testified that he did not
threaten to arrest Tome if he did not consent to a search.
Tome led Officer Connell directly to Giles's bedroom.  Tome attempted to call
Giles's name through the bedroom door, but she did not respond.  Tome then entered her
bedroom and woke her up.  Officer Connell asked Giles where she had been and


if she
had been driving, to which she answered that she had been at the Roadhouse and had
operated a vehicle.  Officer Connell smelled alcohol, and Giles seemed disoriented.
Officer Connell asked her to come outside, and Giles agreed, following Officer Connell
outside.  At no point did Officer Connell inform Giles that she could refuse to follow him
outside.
Once outside, Officer Connell positioned Giles in front of his patrol car with the video
recorder operating.  Giles again informed Officer Connell that she had been at the
Roadhouse and had consumed four vodka martinis.  Officer Connell then had Giles
perform standardized field-sobriety tests.  She voluntarily performed them in front of Officer
Connell's police car on the public roadway, but she refused the intoxilyzer.
Based on the results of these tests, OfficerConnell found Giles to be sufficiently
intoxicated, and he arrested her.  Officer Connell testified that he felt it was necessary to
arrest her without a warrant because alcohol metabolizes quickly and because in the
twenty-four hours it would have likely taken him to obtain a warrant, the evidence would
have been lost.
Tome testified to a completely different version of the events.  Tome stated that he
arrived home and had begun washing the Lexus when Officer Connell arrived.  He testified
that Officer Connell asked him about Giles, and he responded that she was inside the
house sleeping.  He stated that Officer Connell asked whether Giles was intoxicated, but
he did not answer the question.  Officer Connell asked him to go inside the house, and
Tome responded that he wanted to enter the house


Tome appeared reserved and
concerned for the defendant.  Thereafter, Tome walked into the residence
through the garage door with the two police officers following him.  Tome
was aware the officers were following him into the residence.  Tome did not
tell the police officers to leave the residence.  Tome exercised his own free
will in leading the police officers into the residence to locate the defendant.
Officer Connell reasonably believed he had Tome's consent to enter the
residence.

The trial court concluded that Tome voluntarily consented to the entry into his home.

	The court further found, with regard to the arrest, that Giles was not arrested inside
the residence, but she went voluntarily with the officers outside the residence.  The trial
court concluded that Officer Connell had probable cause to believe that Giles had
committedcause that Gallups had
committed a DWI. Gallups, 151 S.W.3d at 201.  In that case, Gallups was found at his
home, which was only a short distance away from an accident site.  Id. at 198.  Upon
arriving at the scene, the officer observed Gallups standing in the window with blood
around his mouth.  Id.  The evidence of Gallups having been in an accident, together with
the location of his house, was sufficient to warrant a person of reasonable caution in the
belief that, more likely than not, Gallups had committed a DWI.  Id. at 201.
	In this case, Officer Connell had probable cause to arrest Giles.  Brunner followed
the Lexus to the residence after observing erratic driving.  Tome informed Officer Connell
that Giles was likely intoxicated and had


the court held that the garage was a "suspicious place."
	Similarly, in Gallups, Gallups's home was found to be a suspicious place. 151
S.W.3d at 201.  In that case, Gallups was also involved in a car accident.  Id.  Instead of
remaining on scene, he walked to his house, abandoning his truck at the scene of the
accident.  Id.  The court found that the short distance between the accident site and the
house rendered Gallups's house a "suspicious place."  Id.
	And in Dyar, the court found that the hospital where Dyar was confronted by the
officer was a suspicious place.  125 S.W.3d at 467.  The officer had been informed that
the driver of the vehicle was taken to the hospital; and "this information would tend to make
aGiles
had recently returned home from the Roadhouse Bar, was likely intoxicated, and was
asleep in her bedroom.  Because  Officer Connell provided evidence describing how he
connected Giles with the crime, like the officers in Crowley, Gallups, and Dyar, and unlike
the officers in Lowery, Giles's residence became a suspicious place.
	In conclusion, we hold that Officer Connell had the authority to arrest Giles without
a warrant because there was sufficient probable cause that Giles had committed the DWI,
her house was a suspicious place, a DWI is a breach of the peace, and there were exigent
circumstances in allowing Officer Connell into Giles's residence.  With all the elements of
a proper warrantless arrest met, the trial court did not err in denying Giles's motion to
suppress.
III.  Conclusion
We hold that Officer Connell's


second Cleveland administration. It was then that the United States turned sharply and permanently from a foreign policy of peace and nonintervention to an aggressive program of economic and political expansion abroad. At the heart of the new policy were America’s leading bankers, eager to use the country’s growing economic strength to subsidize and force-feed export markets and investment outlets that they would finance, as well as to guarantee Third World government bonds. The major focus of aggressive expansion in the 1890s was Latin America, and the principal enemy to be dislodged was Great Britain, which had dominated foreign investments in that vast region.”

Palestinians and 13 Israeli soldiers and forced thousands of terrified Palestinian civilians to flee their neighborhood, reportedly used to launch rockets at Israel and now devastated by the fighting.

In addition, a spokesman for Hamas’ armed wing claimed the group had captured an Israeli soldier during the day’s fighting. Israel had no immediate comment.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the offensive would continue “as long as necessary” to end attacks from Gaza on Israeli civilians.

But Hamas seems defiant, international cease-fire efforts are stalled, and international criticism is becoming more vocal as the death toll among Palestinian civilians rises.

The U.N. Security Council is expected to meet in emergency session on Sunday night, at the request of Jordan, and called for by the Palestinians.

Palestinian health officials reported at least 50 deadin air and artillery strikes that echoed across the city for hours and sent panicked residents fleeing, many carrying small children and waving white flags. Gaza officials said 35,000 people fled their homes Sunday.

In all, at least 432 Palestinians were killed and more than 3,000 wounded in the past two weeks. The overall death toll on the Israeli side rose to 20, including 18 soldiers, along with dozens of wounded troops, during that period.

Sunday’s battle began when Israeli troops backed by tanks entered the densely populated Shijaiyah district just after midnight Sunday. They were met by a “huge” level of resistance by Hamas fighters who fired anti-tank missiles, rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons from houses and buildings, said Lt. Col.

a request by the Red Cross, Israel and Hamas said they agreed to a brief, local cease-fire to enable rescue services to attend to the dead and wounded. The truce did not last for the designated period, and each side blamed the other for violating it.

Israeli troops pushed into Gaza late Thursday after more than a week of airstrikes failed to halt unrelenting Palestinian rocket fire that has increasingly targeted major Israeli cities. Israel has said the operation is aimed at halting the rockets as well as destroying tunnels that militants have used to stage cross-border raids.

The military said it has hit more than 2,500 targets in Gaza, including 1,100 rocket launchers, during the 13 days of fighting. It said that some 70 militants were killed and another13 brought to Israel for questioning.

Gaza militants have fired more than 1,760 rockets at Israeli cities since July 8, the military said.

Throughout the night, loud explosions shook Gaza as Israeli flares lit up the sky and fighter jets flew low over the coastal territory.

The Hamas military wing said its fighters exchanged fire with Israeli forces in Shijaiyah and a nearby neighborhood. The sound of gunfire could be heard from the city center.

In a separate confrontation, Islamic Jihad fighters ambushed Israeli troops near the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, the group said, adding that Israeli helicopter gunships had joined the battle.

The heavy fighting came as Ban headed to Qatar to try to push stalled cease-fire efforts forward. He was set to meet Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in


the Gulf state, according to Abbas’ spokesman. Abbas also plans to meet Hamas’ top leader Khaled Mashaal.

Hamas last week rejected an Egyptian call on both sides to halt hostilities, saying it first wants guarantees that Israel and Egypt will significantly ease their border blockade of Gaza, which has been ruled by the Islamic militant group since 2007.

Hamas has sought involvement of other countries, such as Qatar, in any cease-fire negotiations. The militant group is deeply distrustful of Egypt’s rulers, who last year deposed a Hamas-friendly government in Cairo.

Since the start of Israel-Hamas fighting almost two weeks ago, 410 Palestinians have been killed and 3,000 wounded, according to Gaza Health Ministry official Ashraf al-Kidra. More than one-fourth of the deaths have been reported since the start of the groundoffensive late Thursday.

Two Israeli soldiers died in the Gaza fighting late Saturday and early Sunday morning, bringing the Israeli military death toll to five in the three days since ground operations began. Two Israeli civilians have perished from Hamas rocket and mortar attacks on Israeli territory.

Dozens of Israeli soldiers have been wounded since the start of the ground operation, according to Israeli hospitals treating them.

The Israel military meanwhile said it was establishing a field hospital at a crossing with Gaza to treat wounded Palestinians.

In Shijaiyah, the heavy shelling began around midnight as tanks reached the edge of the neighborhood, residents said. In the first hours of shelling, it was too dangerous for ambulances to approach and residents said they saw dead and wounded in the streets. Casualties were


later evacuated.

Hundreds of residents began fleeing the neighborhood after daybreak, including a woman in a wheelchair who waved a white flag. Columns of smoke rose from the neighborhood as the sound of shelling echoed from inside.

A man walking in the street said his son was trapped in the family house and that he needed someone to help rescue him. He then got into an ambulance to reach his house, but tank fire hit nearby and the ambulance quickly turned around to get away.

The bodies of a man and a woman could be seen in the rubble of a house that had been completely destroyed.

Among those killed in Shijaiyah on Sunday was Osama al-Haya, a son of senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Haya. Osama al-Haya’s wife and two children, agesfour and six, were also killed, Palestinian health officials said.

Some residents tried to find refuge with relatives, while others went to U.N. schools that have been serving as temporary shelters since the start of the fighting.

Some 63,000 Palestinians are already staying in United Nations shelters, according to UNRWA, the U.N. refugee agency for Palestinians. The number of people who have fled their homes has more than tripled since the start of Israel’s ground operation and the agency said it planned to open more schools.

Israel on July 19 announced its first casualty since the start of its ground operation — a soldier killed following a night of heavy fighting in the Hamas-ruled enclave. The military said he was killed in the northern Gaza Strip, but the circumstances behind his


Wang Qi's with his family in Madhya Pradesh.

When Chinese army veteran Wang Qi was captured in 1963 after he strayed into the Indian territory, little did he know that it would take him decades to make his way back home. He would spend the next six years in jails in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab before being released by a court order in 1969.

After his release, he was relocated to Tirodi town in Madhya Pradesh's Balaghat district. He married a local woman and had three children. People in the town gave him the name "Raj Bahahdur".

With family in two different countries, Wang Qi, 80, would travel back and forth to see them. It was only two years ago that he was reunited with his siblings in China. Then,tragedy struck.

After spending a few months in China, he had to return to India to be with his dying wife. Two months after her death in October, 2017, he went back to China. He was back in India in April, 2018 to be with his children.

Wang Qi's son Vishnu Wang says that he has not been issued a visa by India after he left for China in October, 2018. "He wants to be with us again. With Indian authorities not issuing him fresh visa, we don't know if we will meet again," he told NDTV.

"He applied for paper visa with the Beijing Embassy in April this year, but couldn't get the expired visa renewed. Then, he applied for e-visa in Delhi but didn't get it. My father again


applied for paper visa at the Indian Embassy in Beijing in July but there has been no positive outcome," he added.

Vishnu Wang claims that he has sent repeated mails to officials at Indian Embassy in Beijing as well as officials at Foreign Ministry in New Delhi. He longs for his father to meet his children.

Wang Qi is now staying at a hotel in China's Shaanxi province, close to the village where the families of his two brothers and sisters live. "He has to travel 1200 km to Beijing to for updates on his visa renewal," his son said.captures his madness—his deluded state. His mission is to kill all fools.

the strollers, Annabelle DID NOT want to be carried, and I spent the last part of the tour back in the lobby letting her play on the stairs--another kid traveling tip, gotta be flexible!) and then a tour of the Hofburg Imperial Apartments, which also included a fascinating exhibit on the intriguing and enigmatic "Sisi", Empress Elizabeth of Austria. The part of the Opera tour that I did get to enjoy included a sneak peak at the debutantes practicing their dancing for the big Viennese Opera Ball and the tear down and set up of the theater to put in a dance floor. We wrapped up a day with a walk around the Volksgarten, which gave us a lovely view of Vienna's imposing, pointy-spired Rathaus.

On day three, wemade the one hour drive to Bratislava, Slovakia. It's a fairly small city, so a few hours was all we needed, but we enjoyed our time there, once again, guided by Rick Steves. There is a long history of war and oppression in Slovakia from Napoleon to the Nazis and the Soviets, but through it all, they managed to maintain and lovingly restore a very charming historic district and in a bid to draw in more tourists, installed a number of quirky statues throughout the downtown.

We enjoyed wandering the city and walking along the Danube, and had a delicious lunch of Slovakian cuisine--the highlight was the carmelised pear with sheep's cheese... my mouth is watering! Even Hans Christian Andersen evidently enjoyed a visit to the town, as memorialized


KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia advanced nine places to 15th spot among 190 economies worldwide in the World Bank’s Doing Business 2019 Report, which based its rankings on business regulations and ease of doing business.World Bank Senior Economist and Statistician (Development Economics - Global Indicators Group) Arvind Jain said an acceleration in reforms had helped propel the country to be among the top 20 ranked economies globally.“Malaysia carried out six business reforms in the past year, and it resulted in the dramatic increase in the overall business score, which led to the jump from 24th position to 15th this year,” he told a media briefing on the report here today.He said these reforms were in terms of starting a business, dealing with the construction permits, securing electricity, registering property, tradingto New Zealand. It said Malaysia’s excellence in this area was underpinned by its perfect score of 10 in the extent of disclosure index.“A reform in the past year to improve the construction permit process helped advanced the country to a global rank of three in the area of dealing with construction permits, whereby it now takes 54 days to obtain the permit in Malaysia compared with 158 days globally and 133 days on average in the East Asian and Pacific region.In the area of getting electricity, the report said Malaysia was now ranked fourth globally, with the cost for business to obtain electricity connection in the country being only 26 per cent of income per capita versus an average of 625 per cent in East Asia and


Thor's father (Thor's mother is Fjörgyn). Thor is married to Sif (and he has some girlfriends too), he has many half brothers, and his weapon of choice is his hammer, Mjöllnir. Loki, who can shape-shift, is considered something of a sinister character. Asgard, the realm of the gods, can only be reached by way of the Bifröst, a rainbow bridge between Asgard and Midgard (Earth), and it's guarded by Heimdall

In the comics, Thor displeases his father and is sent to Earth, to be somehow blended with an already existing physically disabled doctor, Donald Blake.

Saturday’s racing at the RC44 Cascais Cup was the hardest yet for race officials and crews alike. First they had to wait out on the water off the Portuguese sailing mecca for a light breeze to build and stabilise long enough for one race to be held. Then, some wise race management saw everyone decamp east, back towards the Marina de Cascais where a new course was laid and a second and final race shoehorned in a relatively stable eight knot wind.

With just five points separating the top seven boats at the start of the day, there was inevitable upset on the leaderboard. Ultimately today’s two top scoring boats displaced Peninsula Petroleum, leader of this regatta for its first two days.

to invasion by the Devil[3] or evil spirits,[2] or that sneezing was your body's effort to force out an invading evil spirit.[1] Thus, "bless you" or "God bless you" is used as a sort of shield against evil.

Another version says that the custom originally began as an actual blessing. Gregory I became Pope in 590 as an outbreak of the bubonic plague was reaching Rome. In hopes of fighting off the disease, he ordered unending prayer and parades of chanters through the streets. At the time, sneezing was thought to be an early symptom of the plague. The blessing ("God bless you!") became a common effort to halt the disease.[3]

The Coronary Drug Project (CDP) was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of several different lipid-lowering drugs in the long-term treatment of coronary heart disease and to study the natural history and clinical course of this disease. The CDP is a multi-clinic study consisting of 53 Clinical Centers, a Coordinating Center, a Central Laboratory, and ECG Reading Center, and a Drug Procurement and Distribution Center. A total of 8,341 patients were enrolled in the study during the recruitment period which lasted from March 1966 through October 1969. Only males between the ages of 30 and 64 having a history of at least one ECG-documented myocardial infarction, and belonging to NYHA functional class I or II were eligible for erollement in the study. Each patient was randomly assigned to oneto have blaring on your car radio while driving on the LA Freeways. Its MTV, its LA, its Miami Vice soundtrack material, its slick, clean, clear, and has monster hit potential, but it isnt Joni. The first song has the mark of the beast as far as the eighties is concerned. Michael MacDonalds voice. You see a song cant be an Eighties song unless former Doobie Brother Michael MacDonald sings on it. Statistics from the Office of Management and Budget have shown that he sang on 97.365 % of every hit song ever done in the entire decade with the exception of Happy days are Here Again at the 1988 Demo convention and the Star Spangled Banner at the Superbowl although that tape is being rechecked to make


gun (Toto) of all time who also was on every song done in the entire decade (if he wasnt then Eddie Van Halen or Steve Vai was).Why I mention this is because this is the first clue as to the fact that Joni by this time was seemingly trapped in the deepest part of the jaws of the LA music industry. Which frequently did things mostly because they were being successfully done by other artists. Whatever worked everyone else tried to copy, just like with the film industry. Unfortunately the goddess of prose (Joni) produces perhaps the mose banal lyrics she has ever written for this song. Remember the songs theme is meeting a friend...

Sometimes change comes at you like a broadside accident There is chaos to theI do think they missed their chance to have Sting do a background wailing "I want my MTV" like he did for Knopfler on Money for Nothing. But as I said the music works. The verses are sung in a sort of monotonish hue of little emotional content leading into choruses that have the great synth hook and cheery atmosphere. Unlike the first song the lyrics here are also sparse but possibly among the most revealing (of her current mood) of all of Jonis songs (or are they Kleins).

Fiction of the moralist Fiction of the nihilist Fiction of the innovator and the stylist Fiction of the killjoy Fiction of the charmer Fiction of the clay feet and the shining armour Fiction of the declaimers Fiction of the rebukers


Toto". All her ideals are revealed to be trash. Shes lashed to the ferris wheel as opposed to the merry-go-round. Big time Up and down as opposed to round and round. Nothing is making sense to her as the lyrics are clearly saying and I am mostly referring to her music. From the melodic folk era to Hejira style suddenly Joni is seemingly yeilding to the ideas of others.

The song is very much different than any one that we know or strongly suspect that Joni had the final say in production and mixing. It seemed to me that she played the song on a guitar for "the boys" and they immediately went off and imposed their own style and feel. I could even imagine them telling her howthe third time I heard it. The first time I was distracted by the 'tick' track which again was a scourge of the 80s production values where the producers first discovered the Fairlight and the "good" drum machines and felt that this gave them perfection. Of course it also liberated their recording sessions from cranky to the max over coked drummers. And it also liberated the song from the atmosphere that can only come from a live drummer. The drum tracks on this song are those statement scale bouncing between speakers single blams that became the precurser of the modern movie sound track in which every little bit of sound becomes equal to the crash of a train. They perfected the drum track in the 80s and no


song demonstrates that better than this one. This song also is filled with those classic keyboard and guitar fills you hear on many of the songs of that era like Sailing by Christopher Cross or Betty Davis Eyes by Kim Carnes or Maniac by Michael Sembello. The production also took on a replication of that other 80s monster producer in Peter Gabriel. He uses all kinds of sound effects to replace melodic instrumental parts and so in this song we hear a concrete power drill on the chorus. Very 80s and well done. The languorous repeating guitar line shimmering through a flange peddle. While there are some really great lyrics to this song also, the majority of the lyrics again vaporize into words that work but dont reallyon the stage. Everything is wireless. The sound is always the best as well as the lights. etc. But nothing has distinguished P-Gab from the rest of the pack anything like his in-studio use of sound effects in place of music instrumental tracks. His albums are filled with sounds rather than music. Even his drums sound like machines found in factories and subway trains. Ultimately this is a very well done song that pulls off this technique about as well as it can be done. I would have to assume (given my other assumptions) that cigarette smoking was becoming an issue big time in the Klein-Mitchell abode. She refers to it in the song Borderline later on ("...blame it on the smoke"). Maybe she was feeling enslaved by


the habit. In any event she makes unique use of the sound of the cigarette machine and that one "instrument" ,except for Larry Kleins bass, is it, as far as instruments go. She throws in a hacking cough at the end part of the song as sort of her "solo". Her vocals as usual are fabulous although basically doing the same line repeatedly.

Ill give it a 6 for the beat of the cigarette machine.

Dog Eat Dog As a hard core folk music fan I long ago got used to the political statement put to music. While Joni certainly does that in this song I sensed a much deeper thing going on. I say this because Joni came of age both personally and professionally during one of the mostdynamic and horrifying (Cold War nuclear threat-Viet Nam-Kent State-Kennedy/King) eras in history. So it is suprising that the woman who didnt write a song about some things of great historic importance suddenly writes a song about 80s materialism meeting religion and sees a deep connection to survival of the human race within it. She is clearly all over the televangelists case -again- (perhaps rightly so) but somehow missed the political/religion pimps in the process. She sees materialism and greed for money in the corporate world and the religion business but misses entirely those who lie cheat and enslave people for political power as opposed to money. Personally I think this is the achilles heel of the boomer generation but I digress. In the title track nothing states her


Time in the musical tracks. Almost as if the producer realized that he had to include that to insure playability on the radio.

A 6 is about where this comes in.

Shiny Toys Easily my favorite song on the album and in my humble opinion actually Jonis best "hit". The song's verse is an out and out synopsis of the 80s with just a hint of the Police guitar signiture in the intro. When people magazine was the most read in America and Female bands were taking off with the Bangles Cindy Lauper, the Pretenders (sorry but it was Chrisseys band) and the GoGos. Life must have been good good good in LA about these times. Joni sings about the exciting trips out to party land. The intro is brilliantWargaming’s patch notes are quite complex.

There is an old Belfast joke about the man stopped at a roadblock and asked his religion. When he replies that he is an atheist he is asked, "Protestant or Catholic atheist?" (Christopher Hitchens, God is Not Great, 2007)

This week's press coverage of the census results for Northern Ireland has focused on the small relative increase in the Catholic population. As an atheist and secularist, however, my attention was focused on the percentage of the population who do not identify as religious.

The dramatic increase in those who state that they have no religion in England and Wales (15% in 2001 and 25% in 2011) appears to have little parallel in Northern Ireland. The coverage seems to suggest a much lower incidence of atheism than England anddays is contagious. However, the first thing Clinton did on emerging from her daughter’s apartment was to hug a child. Some Republican pundits also remarked that this was perhaps the first time (when she emerged) that Clinton was seen without staffers or bodyguards around her, and alleged that she was using a body double – things that could never be independently confirmed.

However, one thing one should consider is - if the major corporate mega-donors thought Hillary was in perfect health, they would have not been so insistent on a corporatist such as Tim Kaine as her Vice Presidential nominee. They would have let her nominate a progressive – which would have helped her in the polls immensely.

After Mick Mulvaney took over as the CFPB’s acting director, the agency moved its student loan division into another unit, a move that consumer advocates feared would hamper its lawsuit against Navient.

“Mr. Mulvaney’s action is a naked ploy to silence an effective team looking out for student loan borrowers,” Persis Yu, staff attorney at the National Consumer Law Center, said at the time.

During Mulvaney’s eight-month tenure, the agency has dropped lawsuits against a large mortgage lender and servicer and two small-dollar lenders.

In addition to the CFPB’s lawsuit, Navient faces allegations of consumer abuses by the states of Pennsylvania, Illinois, California and Washington.

A video of inmates drinking and making an extortion call inside the district jail in Uttar Pradesh’s Raebareli is being widely shared on social media, prompting authorities to suspends six prison officials.

The viral video shows shooters Sohrab and Anshu Dixit partying inside their barrack along with four others and using a mobile phone to demand money from a trader.

In the video, Dixit is heard asking the person over the phone to provide Rs 10,000 to the jailer at his residence and Rs 5,000 to deputy jailer. He also asks the man to deliver liquor and other things inside the jail. Few bullets are seen lying on Dixit’s bed.

The state prisons administration and reform services department said earlier it had increased the security in jails and curbed the nexus between criminal and prison personnel after gangster Prem Prakash Singh alias Munna Bajrangi was killed inside Baghpat district jail on July 9 earlier this year.

Bajrangi’s murder had exposed security lapses inside jails and the influence of another gangster Sunil Rathi inside the Baghpat jail on local jail administration as well as its inmates. Rathi, who was also lodged at Baghpat jail, had allegedly shot dead Bajrangi after smuggling a pistol and multiple cartridges inside the jail.leave to amend, and plaintiffs have appealed from the ensuing judgment.
The pertinent allegations of the complaint may be summarized as follows: Plaintiffs Mr. and Mrs. Scott own a 200-foot by 200-foot parcel of land the southern edge of which abuts the northern limits of the City of Indian Wells. In November 1969 the city sent notice of hearing before the city planning commission to consider the granting of a conditional use permit to construct a planned development (two golf courses, tennis courts, clubhouses, 675 condominium units, 90 individual lots) within the city on land which abuts Scott's property and which was formerly zoned R-1, single family, single story residences.[1] Notice of hearing was mailed to Scott by mistake; no other abutting property owners residing outside the city limits
