and it was an important test for the Pole, as it gave Renault all the data it needs to determine whether he is truly fit enough to return to the sport.

Given that Kubica completed 148 laps (two race distances) while setting a respectable pace, all the signs point to yes. The hype train is approaching maximum velocity.

Soldiers had packed his corpse into a helicopter, the official accounts said, and, from the deck of the U.S.S. Carl Vinson, they slid his properly sanctified remains into the North Arabian Sea.

Bin Laden, as medieval ideologist and global terrorist, had a record of accomplishment that was as vast as it was hideous. He did more to slash the fabric of American life than


anyone since the Second World War. His capacity to arouse the fevered imaginations of young fundamentalists led to the murder of thousands of men, women, and children—among them Muslim men, women, and children—in Aden, Mogadishu, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Washington, New York, Shanksville, Bali, Madrid, London, Baghdad, Kabul, and Marrakech. He provoked wars. He forced the rise of expensive structures of security and surveillance. He incited a national politics of paranoia and retribution. He did as much as the economic rise of China and India has done to undermine America’s short-lived post-Cold War status as a singular, self-confident, seemingly omnipotent superpower. Bin Laden signed his last will and testament on December 14, 2001, while hiding in the caves of Tora Bora, instructing his children not to work forPerhaps Barack Obama was born in Kenya; perhaps he was not the Christian he claimed to be but a secret Muslim. The global jihad that bin Laden sought to inaugurate did not create the xenophobia that buoyed Trump’s ambitions, but it helped to electrify it. Here was another reminder of how bin Laden, by the jujitsu of terror, managed to bring out the worst not only in his admirers but in his adversaries.

No President, no matter how serious, can fully ignore the reality-show aspects of his country. Obama finally concluded that he had to make a concession to its lesser angels. He sullenly announced that he had prevailed on the State of Hawaii to release his “long form” birth certificate. Three nights later, at the White House Correspondents’


PSG

Kylian Mbappé wants to leave Paris Saint-Germain and has already taken steps to make it happen. This is the story that came out of Spanish programme El Larguero early on Wednesday morning.

Mbappé problems: Tuchel and Neymar

According to the Cadena SER show, the father of French striker, Wilfried Mbappé, held a meeting in Zurich, Switzerland, with a person described as "someone very important in world football."

It is said that the young star is not comfortable in the PSG dressing room and that the problem lies with two key figures at the club: manager Thomas Tuchel and teammate Neymar Jr.

The German coach is blamed for restricting the opportunities for Mbappé to win the Golden Shoe, the award for Europe's top scorer, by putting Neymar and Cavani on penalty duty. Winningthis would have meant a bonus payment of 1.5 million euros for the forward. In the end, Barcelona's Lionel Messi took the award, and the bonus, after scoring 36 LaLiga goals (four penalties), with Mbappé on 33 Ligue 1 goals (1 penalty).

In terms of his Brazilian strike partner, their relationship is not at its best. As was reported by French paper L'Equipe, the dressing room is divided into two factions, Brazilians and French, who go through the day as almost separate groups, both led by their illustrious stars.

Now, Mbappé's father, a principal decision maker that led to his son moving to PSG in the first place, is looking to assist him with an exit. The player's contract in the French capital runs until 2023, but with Real Madrid


every journalist and editor in the western world, so none of them thought to blame her or report her death as anything other than the tragic event it was.

Tracy Connelly was a "St Kilda Prostitute", there’s some underlying sense that she, in some way, deserved what happened to her, she should have known better. The first three paragraphs of the story in The Age read as follows:

Tracy Connelly had walked St Kilda's red light district for at least a decade and knew her work was dangerous. In 2005, her minder was run over by a man who was angry that she refused to get in his car, Ms Connelly once told a court.

She tried to survive without sex work, but needed the money.

On Sunday, Ms Connelly was murderedWashington: Timing is everything in show business, but the director of the first movie about the commando raid that killed Osama Bin Laden doubts its television premiere Sunday will swing the US election.

SEAL Team Six: The Raid on Osama Bin Laden raised eyebrows when it was announced last month that it would screen for the first time on the National Geographic cable channel just two days before America votes.

Fueling the buzz was the fact that Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, a prominent fundraiser for President Barack Obama, is the distributor and one of the executive producers of the 90-minute action thriller.

In an interview Thursday, director John Stockwell shrugged off suggestions that his film is some kind of prime-time Obama propaganda tool to sway voters less than 48 hours before

So look at what we have now.

The Patriot Act which allows unlimited spying on the American people by the government.

The National Defense Authorization Act with Sections 1021 and 1022 for the military arrests and indefinite detention of American nationals without any due process of the law.

HR 347 Trespass Law for the implementation of Sections 1021 and 1022 of the National Defense Authorization Act upon any citizen who dares to speak out against the insurgency.

Executive Order National Defense Resources Preparedness Act, which allows the dictator to confiscate every resource of the United States, includingwe the people as conscripts to be put in servitude to the insurgency.

This is exactly what the Bolsheviks did to the Russian people in 1917. Now we have this new executive order for the implementation of laws not legislated by our Congress. If we were to allow ourselves to be disarmed by these international soviet socialists, the next step would be to eliminate everyone who refuses to acquiesce to collective slavery.

This latest executive order is nothing more than another act of blatant treason and we the American people must reject it absolutely.

For a long time now the people who run this world have been attempting, quite successfully, to reprogram humanity into something more to their needs. This has been done through the ages through plays, newspapers, books, music, film, radio, television, and now through video games. Film and TV have for a long time now been the main vehicle to successfully reprogram the minds of people, especially the youth, but now the gaming phenomenon, especially the first person shooter (FPS) game, has given the elites the mechanism to take the reprogramming to another more nefarious level

This is the current walkthrough of the newest FPS game to hit the shops last Tuesday. It’s called Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 2

You may remember Walt Disney’s open secret links to the intelligence services during the McCarthy era. His companies are now controlled by Zionist members of the Illuminati and have tentacles in many media outlets including film, television and games.

When I saw this cartoon I first wondered was it an honest warning until I remembered who owns the production of the cartoon. There is a sinister onslaught of mind control in our children’s entertainment. It comes in the form of the behavior of their favourite characters, the ethics they portray, the meaningless rubbish they are taught to desire and venerate. The role models they are given, whoof the bloodiest attack in the country since the end of World War 2.

Nine terrorists took part in three simultaneous attacks across the French capital on the night of November 13 and two accomplices remain on the run. Suspected mastermind Abdelhamid Abaaoud was killed in a police raid in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis five days after the attacks.

Dozens of others in France and Belgium have been arrested in the wake of the Paris shootings and attention has turned to links with possible British jihadis.

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: “Post the Paris attacks, the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command have been working closely with colleagues in France. It would be inappropriate to comment on the French investigation.

“A team of specialist counter terrorism officers, including family liaison officers, from the


Met’s Counter Terrorism Command (SO15) have been deployed. We are not discussing the number of officers deployed for operational reasons.”

There have been no reported arrests in the UK directly linked to the Paris attacks. It is believed they were planned in Brussels and involved French and Belgian terrorists, along with fighters who are believed to have posed as refugees from Syria.

The terrorists exchanged messages with prominent British jihadi Aine Davis and other members of a Turkish ISIS cell based in Istanbul before the attacks.

But Davis, a close friend of serial killer Mohammed Emwazi, was arrested during raids in the city days before the Paris attacks. The Muslim convert and former drug dealer from West London was inspired by Al Qaeda preacher Anwar Al Awlaki and cleric Abu Hamza,and was responsible for guarding foreign prisoners in Syria.

Last year his wife Amal El Wahabi was jailed for 28 months for asking a friend to smuggle 20,000 euros to Syria hidden in her underwear.

A number of terror suspects in Birmingham have been arrested for links to ISIL in Syria, including two people earlier this month.

Conclave to Elect Pope Expected to Start Early Next Week

Join us on our podcast each weekday for an interesting story, well told, from Charisma News. Listen at charismapodcastnetwork.com.

Roman Catholic cardinals will decide later on Friday when to start their conclave to elect a successor to Pope Benedict and the secret gathering will most likely begin early next week, the Vatican said.

Benedict's surprise abdication last month has drawn most of the world's cardinals to Vatican City for discussions on the problems facing the 1.2 billion-member Church, and to decide on the profile of the man they want to take charge.

There is no clear favorite to take the helm of the Church, which faces an array of problems following Benedict's rocky, eight-year reign, ranging from sexual abuse scandals to internalthe elector-cardinals to come to the Vatican, arriving on Thursday. He joined about 150 cardinals of all ages who are discussing the state of the church before the conclave, in preliminary meetings known as general congregations.

Vatican officials have put pressure on those present not to divulge the content of those discussions, but leaks continue to appear in the Italian press, with La Stampa daily reporting that criticism of the Vatican bureaucracy continued to surface.

Lombardi said about 100 cardinals had taken the floor since the formal meetings started on Monday, adding that important informal conversations were also being held on the sidelines.

Quick Vote

The cardinals have made it clear they want a quick conclave to make sure that they can all return to their dioceses in time to lead Easter


celebrations--the most important event in the Roman Catholic calendar.

Vatican insiders say the longer the general pre-discussions go on, the easier it should be to establish the best candidates to take the helm, possibly shortening the eventual vote.

Pope Benedict was elected in little over a day after just four rounds of voting, while his predecessor, Pope John Paul, was elected after eight ballots spaced out over three days.

Cardinals were traditionally locked into areas around the Sistine Chapel, famed for its Michelangelo frescoes, and not allowed out until they chose a new pontiff.

But the rules changed before the 2005 conclave and the red-capped prelates now get to reside in a comfortable Vatican hotel while they are not voting in the Sistine Chapel.

Father Lombardi said the cardinal electors would draw lotsto see which rooms they would get to sleep in, with all external contact, including emails and telephone calls, forbidden.

Special jamming devices would also be set up in and around the Sistine Chapel and the residence to stop any outsiders from trying to eavesdrop and to prevent any mobile phone usage in the vicinity.

One senior prelate is believed to have let slip to friends in Germany that Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger had been elected pope in 2005 before the crowds waiting in the nearby St. Peter's Square had been informed.

Audrey's hypnosis

"Wake me up Charlie !", Audrey says.It feels more an hypnotic state than a coma state to me.She trys to reconnect with herself, after a sort of trauma, with hypnose.

Charlie is the hypnotist. He wants her to confront his fear, but he can't force her, she has to do the hard work. That's why she sort of "hates" him. She is afraid.To overcome his trauma, she has to go out, going through the forest (things hidden, subconscient etc).

The house in the woods is the starting point of his hypnotic state, a secured place.She finally finds the courage to go out. When dancing in the place she wanted to go with his hipnotist, she begins feeling good, like in the old good time,and at the center of all (an hysteric person needs the attention of everyone). Then a scene of violence/inconfort happens. Afraid by it, she sets herself aside, and tells his hypnotist the session has to stop.

Back to reality (or a lodge because of the electric sounds, but a white one). There she has no make up, she's not in representation. She watches her reflection, asks "what ?" like "what is wrong/broken inside me ?".

An other point.About Audrey and the consequences of the explosion in season 2, from "The Secret History" :

"Audrey's plan that morning, apparently, was to handcuff herself to the bars of the bank vault - where her father kept a lot of his money - after sending notes to local news organizations that they could find


there.(...) She brought with her to the bank copies of information she'd discovered about her father's plans that she intended to share woith the news sources. Thoses copies were destroyed in the explosion before anyone could see them.But her father did receive her note at the hotel - too lateto prevent her from being hurt, as it turned out - but in time to make him the only person in town who knew what his daughter was doing there that day."(...) Those who saw him at his daughter's bedside in the hospital afterward describe a man broken in half grief, and, we can now also surmise, personal guilt"(...) But the larger question remained : Would the injury to Ben's daughter serve as a further wake-up call to makehim more the man his daughter longed for him to be ? She'd nearly died delivering the message to him, and her life hung in the balance. Only time would tell if he listened."

At the end of this last sentence, there is a "little" note from the guy of the FBI who's working on the Archivist's documents (whose identity is questioned by the FBI). Here it is :

"Chronologically speaking, this is one of the latest events that the Archivist references in the dossier. One possible theory is that something may have happen to our "correspondent" soon after this point. Making efforts to dicover what that might have been."

How can the Archivist know about the documents that were destroyed if only Audrey's father is aware of them ? The


in her head, and her ending shot in the bright room looking in the round mirror in confusion was her snapping back to the reality of the hospital. -- Along the lines of the posts on this thread.

I've just rewatched this episode. Her mirror scene has the same crackle over it as the Woodsmen get. Therefore I think she's in a Lodge, probably because of Mr C.

Her 'theme' being played backwards a la Red Room also supports this I feel.

Yes, the backwards music did give me that feeling. But it is still possible that she's in a mental hospital...

Capped by a game-winning three-point shot as time expired vs. Cleveland on Nov. 3, Jennings put together two games with career-best numbers to start the season. He matched a career high with 13 assists both at Boston on Nov. 2 and vs. Cleveland on Nov. 3 – the 26 total assists representing the best two-game stretch of his career, and allowing Jennings to


lead the NBA in assists per game with 13.0. He also set a new career high in steals with six at Boston, giving Jennings a per-game average of 4.0 steals this season, which is tied for first in the NBA. For the second time in his career, Jennings recorded point/assist double-doubles in consecutive games (21 points/13 assists at Boston and 13 points/13 assists vs. Cleveland).

His game-winner allowed the Bucks to start the season 2-0 for the first time in Jennings’ career, and the first time since 2005-06. With Jennings leading the way, the Bucks are averaging a league-high 29.0 assists per game this season. Milwaukee is currently in first place in the Central Division and tied for first place in the Eastern Conference.

This story is fictional not to be taken seriously. If your under 18 then
your too young to read this. A special thanks to afantasy and matty inwc for
giving me the ideas on this story. Hopefully its turns out good.

Lizzie McGuire was a very pretty 14 year old girl she had blonde hair a
nice slender figure and breasts that were just starting to develop. Lizzie
had her own fashion sense like any 14 year old girl did. Her pesky little
brother's name was Matt, he was always bugging her like any 11 year old would
bug his big sister. Her best friends were Miranda and Gordo. Miranda was a
pretty Spanish girl who had recently had a growth spurt in her chest. This
had made Lizzie a tad bit jealous, after all she didn'twant Miranda and her
arch enemy a pretty girl named Kate, to get all the boys.

On this particular day Lizzie was stuck watching her brother because her mom
and dad had a special all day memorabilia show to go to. This meant going to
the movies with Gordo and Miranda was out. So she called up Gordo and asked
for him and Miranda to just come over and keep her company. "Sure thing, we
can see a movie anytime Lizzie, we'll be over in a few minutes."

Matt had just emptied the cupboards of sugary snacks and was running around
the house screaming. Lizzie tried to watch TV but to her shock Matt went up
behind her and pulled on her bra, snapping it on her back. "Owww, you little
creep, get back here."

She chased him up


get that," insisted Lizzie.

"I've got an idea lets play a game and someone could win it."

"What kind of game?" asked Miranda.

"How bout playing truth or dare, you two up for that?" asked Gordo.

Miranda and Lizzie shrugged their shoulders. "Why not," they both said.

So they all went up to Lizzie's room and sat down.

"Ok first of all we decided who goes first and second and third."

They all decide to flip coins Lizzie was first, followed by Gordo then
Miranda. Lizzie thought it over, "Miranda, truth or dare?"

"ummm... truth."

"Ok, what is your bra size Miranda?"

Miranda couldn't help but blush a little, even her best friend had noticed
her chest growth. "Well, I'm a 32c now."

This really got Gordo's attention, he knew she had blossomed but he didn't
know his 14 year old friendwas a C cup. It was Gordo's turn now. "Miranda,
truth or dare?"

Miranda knew the rules she couldn't do two truths in a row. "OK, Gordo...
dare!"

"OK, Miranda you have to lift your shirt up and show us your bra for 5
seconds."

Miranda gave Gordo a glare. "Why not, were talking about 100 dollars," She
replied. Miranda lifted up her shirt exposing to Lizzie and Gordo her
cleavage, contained in a plain white bra. Lizzie was jealous of those
breasts, while Gordo had to hold back the drool at the sight of the cute
latina girl's knockers.

Five seconds later her breasts were covered again by her black top. Miranda
finally had her turn, and she was eager to get back at her friends since
they picked on her in the first round. "Ok Lizzie truth or dare?"

"Dare,"


Miranda had to admit herself that Lizzie had a sexy
butt. Not that she was a lesbian or even bi for that matter.

Lizzie ran to the door, looking out she realized it was the middle of the day
and there was no way she wasn't gonna be seen. So Lizzie decided she might as
well get it over with. She burst out the front door in her bra and panties. A
couple neighbors stopped and stared at the half nude teenage girl. Sprinting
around the house, Lizzie was breathing heavy as she reached the front door
again. Some high school boys saw her and hollered and whistled.

Lizzie's face turned bright red as she ran back inside. She immediately got
her clothes back on once she was back inside.

"OK, Lizzie its your turn now," said Gordo.

"Goodshe thought.

Miranda stood up and tossed her shirt aside, she slid her skirt down her sexy
light brown legs. Her panties were light blue with lace on the waistband.
After that she glared at Lizzie, Lizzie's eyes showed no sympathy and Miranda
unhooked her bra, tossing it at Lizzie. Gordo and Lizzie were stunned at the
size of Miranda's big tits with dark areola's and pointed nipples. Miranda
took off like a shot out the door to the end of the street.

A few people here and there saw her and stood and glared at amazement. She
reached the end of the street in a time that would have made many Olympic
woman sprinters envious. She took off back to the house, she felt eyes all
over her as she ran and her big breasts bounced as


she did. This game wasn't
fun anymore it was embarrassing. Lizzie looked out the window and giggled as
Miranda's tits bounced up and down as she ran. She did kind of feel bad
though after all Miranda was her friend, but she also expected Miranda to
say no to the dare.

Miranda ran back to the house try ing to hide the embarrassment on her face
as her boobs bounced all over the place. "If these things were any bigger
I'd get hit in the face with them." She thought. Miranda got back inside
and grabbed her clothes snapping her bra back on immediately. Then getting
everything else back on.

"OK my turn, Miranda truth or dare," said Gordo.

"Dare, it can't be as bad as what Lizzie had me do!"

Gordo saw that Miranda was a little mad atLizzie, which he didn't want after
all they were all friends. "OK I want you two to kiss and make up, and I mean
literally tongues and all, French kiss for 5 minutes."

They both thought it over, considering the last few dares this seemed tame.
The two leaned in, Miranda put her hands on Lizzie's hips while Lizzie put
her arms around Miranda's neck, they started kissing each other softly. Then
as their mouths opened their tongues touched, and Lizzie and Miranda started
a very hot French kiss. Gordo seeing this unzipped his fly and started
stroking his 6 inch cock in his pants. He had wet dreams about seeing Miranda
and Lizzie doing this and now it was happening in front of him. Hands began
wandering and Lizzie brushed her fingertips on Miranda's bountiful breasts as
Miranda


went slowly lower down Lizzie hips to fondle her friends tight ass.

Gordo was in voyeur heaven, he thought he was gonna wake up from this, but
it wasn't a dream it was really happening. He tugged harder and harder on
his cock, he felt an orgasm was real close. Then suddenly the two broke their
kiss and Gordo quickly pushed his manhood back inside so they wouldn't catch
him.

"It's been five minutes right?" Lizzie asked.

"Ohh, um yeah, just about," said an embarrassed Gordo wondering if either of
them got a glimpse.

"OK, Lizzie, truth or dare," asked Miranda.

"Dare, of course," said Lizzie.

"OK, Lizzie, you have to pull your pants AND your panties down and let Gordo
slap you hard on your bare ass!"

Lizzie's eyes grew big, but not wanting to lose the game she stoodup and
dropped her white pants. Then she bent over in front of Gordo. Lizzie slid
down her white thong panties, exposing her very sexy little butt to Gordo.
Gordo revved back and slapped hard on Lizzie's right butt cheek causing
Lizzie to jump and shriek, "Owwww!" After that an embarrassed Lizzie pulled
up her pants. She was glad that it was her turn to get Miranda back.

"Miranda, truth or dare?"

Miranda thought it over before confidently saying, "Dare."

Lizzie smiled and said, "Take off your top and your bra and..."

"Lizzie help!!!!!!!!!!!!" screamed Matt from downstairs.

They knew something was wrong Matt never screamed in terror like that before.
Suddenly two masked men wearing all black appeared in the room, one of them
was white the other guy was black. Gordo tried rushing one of them and was
punched


square in the face. The girls tried to run out the door but they had
no chance. The black man grabbed Lizzie and threw her against the wall,
causing her mouth to bleed from the impact. Miranda was thrown onto the bed
so hard she practically did a backward somersault as her legs hit the bed's
headboard hard.

"OK you bitches, we came here to rob you but that little punk downstairs
tried to stop us, even tried to call the police on us, so now were gonna make
you all pay for his ignorance!"

They both put an unconscious Gordo in the closet. The white man jumped on the
bed with Miranda, before she could react and was instantly on top of her. He
held her down and ripped her T-shirt off her body. "Damn little girl,those
are some big titties!"

He grabbed her bra and yanked her cups off exposing her huge breasts. Miranda
pounded on his back with her fists as he felt up her melons. Then he pulled
out a knife and held it to her throat. "Are you gonna be a nice little
Spanish whore, or do I cut your pretty face up?"

Miranda spoke softly unable to hid the fear in her voice, "I'll be good."

He fondled her chest pinching hard on her nipples then biting on each one.
His hand lifted her skirt and she felt the cold steel of the knife blade
going up her thigh. Miranda was so scared she was sure she was gonna pee her
panties as the knife got ever closer to her panty covered cunt. He then went
to the sides of


her panties and ripped her panties off with the knife. He
pulled out his thick 8 inch cock from his pants and placed it at Miranda's
dark forrest of pubic hair. Miranda tensed up her body knowing she was about
to lose her virginity to this rapist.

His knife pressed against her neck, "Lets not forget that you said you would
be good!"

Miranda nodded, and he pushed his cock inside her, it was a tight fit but her
kissing with Lizzie earlier got her very wet so it could have been worse. He
held her down as he began pumping into the 14 year old. Miranda had tears
going down her cheeks as her cherry was taken by the masked man. He started
thrusting hard into her, the bed creaking as he showed her no mercy fucking
herlike a madman. Miranda never imagined losing her virginity like this on
Lizzie's bed by a man who's face she didn't even see. Luckily her tightness
had become to much and he ended up coming, shooting his load deep in her
formerly virgin pussy.

The black man pushed his body up against Lizzie's. She tried to struggle but
he was too strong. "Better be nice blondie or I'm gonna be rough, which is
OK. That's how I like it, but I'm betting you don't ho, am I right?" Lizzie
just nodded as he squeezed her A cup breasts. He pulled her shirt off her and
said, "Lets have a little romance cunt, unhook your bra for your black daddy
and show me your little titties!"

Lizzie reached back and unhooked her bra exposing her small breasts with
little pink


buds, she couldn't believe how hard they were, how could she be
turned on considering what was about to happen to her. He smothered her
breasts in his big hands pulling hard on her perky nipples causing her to
writhe in pain.

He had her remove her pants next leaving her in just the thong. He forced her
on her knees. Then pulled his cock out of his pants, Lizzie was speechless
seeing his 12 inch black cock in front of her. "OK bitch, start suckin."
Lizzie hesitated a moment, which was rewarded by a backhand across her face.
She looked back up at him and he said, "I aint repeating that order again ho,
you can obey, or you can get roughed up, your choice!"

Lizzie wasn't about to let herself be hit again she could alreadyfeel the
pain in her eye she was surely gonna have a blackeye. Lizzie went to work
opening her mouth wide and sucking on his shaft. Her young mouth swallowed
inch after inch as he started to pump his cock forward into her.

Lizzie had 8 inches of black cock in her mouth as her hair was pulled on and
she tried not to gag or even pass out do to the lack of oxygen she wasn't
getting. For several minutes she gave the black robber head, as her breasts
were squeezed hard, and nipples pulled on so hard Lizzie thought they would
be ripped off her chest. She finally got all of him in her mouth gagging as
his head reached the back of her tonsils.

"OK, that's enough of that on your knees white slut."

Lizzie didn't


dare hesitate this time not wanting her sore eye hit again, or
much worse to have matching black eyes. Once on her knees he slid her thong
off, positioning himself behind her he pressed his black dick against
Lizzie's pussy entrance. It didn't matter that Lizzie's pussy was a little
wet it seemed that this black man wouldn't fit in her. He kept pushing and
pushing until at last her vice like pussy let him inside. He only needed a
few thrusts before Lizzie's hymen was torn apart inside of her.

He drove his black monster into the helpless Lizzie, gripping her hips tight
as her tender pussy was forced to widen accommodating his black rod. He
fucked Lizzie doggystyle and forced her to say "fuck me." Lizzie obeyed
without hesitation. "Damn bitch your tight!" Lizzie had toadmit after the
initial pain was over she was loving the way it felt having his 12 inch rod
inside her. She started voluntarily saying "fuck me" feeling so hot she
couldn't help herself. He had her say "I love black cock, I love only black
cock." As her pussy was torn open blood dripping out of her onto his black
schlong. Lizzie couldn't help herself she was coming she moaned and screamed
as her body released an orgasm that was more powerful than any fingering she
ever gave herself. She felt her muscles tighten around his thick prick as
her orgasm left her breathless.

He pulled out of her and stood in front of her. He jerked his cock off inches
from her face and in no time he was ready to cum. "OK bitch open wide


here it
comes."

Lizzie opened her mouth and took this thick cum all over her eyes and mouth
some even landing in Lizzie's beautiful hair. Looking over he saw his fellow
robber with Miranda with a knife to her throat watching the action. "Damn
these were some hot bitches man!" he yelled. He noticed Gordo's hand held
camcorder on the floor. "OK ho's its time to make a little lesbo flick, you
be good little whores and we'll leave after you get each other off."

Miranda wasn't thrilled at this idea, she admittingly enjoyed kissing Lizzie
earlier but this was sex with another girl. Lizzie didn't wanna do it either,
but, knowing a backhand to her face was the other choice. She immediately got
into place as the black robber held the camera. Miranda reluctantly crawled
over to Lizzie theykissed softly, as their young naked bodies merged
together. This was really a welcome relief to their rough rape of moments
ago. The two teen girl's took turns sucking each others sore breasts. Miranda
softly sucked Lizzie's breasts as she caressed her friends firm ass. Lizzie
lost herself in the moment as Miranda mad her feel she was somewhere else
other than a peep show for her two rapists.

Lizzie gave Miranda a big sensuous kiss as her hands softly rubbed on
Miranda's heaving breasts. Miranda stroked Lizzie's firm ass cheeks in
circles as they played tongue war in each others mouths. "I want you,
to lick me down there Lizzie," said Miranda.

Lizzie caressed Miranda's cheek and said, "Lets both do it to each other."

The two got in a classic lesbian 69 position with Miranda on the


bottom.
Lizzie gently slide her tongue inside of Miranda's dark slit. She ran her
tongue slowly up and down it feeling her best friend and new lover moan
softly. Miranda gently opened up Lizzie's pussy lips and continued to
squeeze Lizzie's (perfect in her mind) ass.

Lizzie stuck her tongue inside Miranda deeper tasting a mixture of Miranda's
juices and the rapists cum. Miranda decided she wanted to try something else,
she spread Lizzie's ass cheeks open and started flicking her tongue at
Lizzie's asshole as she slid two fingers in Lizzie's cunt.

"Oh Miranda, oh yes I love that baby ahhhhh!" Lizzie started pushing her
tongue as far as she could into Miranda's cunt, tongue fucking her like
crazy. Lizzie started riding on Miranda's fingers, her pussy was so hot she
didn't care how slutty she looked or sounded,she didn't even care if they
were being watched by the two robbers. All she could do was enjoy the sexual
high she was on as she moaned, "Oh, Miranda, oh God, oh yes, lick my ass, oh
it feels so fucking good, oh yesss, Miranda."

Miranda was getting hot too, hearing her best friend talk and feeling her
tongue inside of her Miranda couldn't hold back as she released her sweet
girl cum all over Lizzie's tongue. "Oh Lizzie oh Liz... oh I'm gonna ohhh
Lizzie I'm going to explode ohhhhhhhhhh."

Lizzie lapped up Miranda's juices like an ice cream cone, licking her dry as
she felt her own orgasm on the way. Miranda shoved a third finger into Lizzie
causing her to moan loud as her ass was bathed in Miranda's saliva. Lizzie
finally released a huge

the samples was Petrochemia---Blachownia S.A. in Kędzierzyn Koźle and all soil samples were collected for its consent. It is the area of the industrial complex of the former \"Blachownia\" Chemical Plant, where as a result of long-term industrial activity (since the 1930s), the natural soil-forming processes have been degraded. The state of the soil environment was affected by: historical failures and spills, fires (during the Second World War the plant was the target of bombing), incorrect practice of conducting chemical processes in large installations in the years 1950--1970. As a result of the historical activity of chemical plants, the soil environment has been contaminated mainly with aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, phenols and coke benzene refining products. Currently, this plant products mainly: benzene, toluene and solvent naphtha containing xylenes,of the desktop 3D printer, is partnering with the DAVE School, the Digital Animation and Visual Effects School, to offer a new 3D printer training program that will be open to students and corporations.

Offered exclusively at The DAVE School, the 3D printing training program will bridge a gap by teaching people how to print objects using computer modeling and a 3D printer. Presently, The DAVE School incorporates a LulzBot printer into its curriculum to print character models, but teachers and students have also found it useful in creating props, miniatures and a new stop-motion animation camera currently under construction.

"We continue to find creative uses for 3D printing at The DAVE School and believe it will become a fundamental part of the film, animation and gaming industry going forward,"


legume plants cultivated agriculturally, the problem of increasing the effectiveness of inoculants of root nodule bacteria turns out to be a difficult one. In particular, for example, Bradyrhizobium japonicum strains now are extent in soils throughout North and South America in those regions in which there has been historic soybean production, even though the species was originally indigenous only to Asia. The existing wild strains are the progeny of bacterial strains originally inoculated into soybean fields but which have now evolved to survive in these soils and climates. The existence of these bacterial strains in the agricultural soil ecosystem is a mixed blessing. These strains of Bradyrhizobium extent in most cultivation areas compete with intentionally inoculated Bradyrhizobium strains for occupation of the nodules of soybean plants, and whileto reduce the resistance value of the polycrystalline silicon film 306 in the contact hole 304. Thereby, polycrystalline silicon having low resistance is buried in the contact hole. Thereafter, a metal wire 307 is formed on the polycrystalline silicon films 305 and 306, and the source region 303 and the metal wire 307 are connected to each other.
According to the above method, the polycrystalline silicon films 305 and 306 are formed in the contact hole 304. Since the polycrystalline silicon films are thin, impurities can be easily doped into the polycrystalline films 305 and 306.
However, since impurities are doped into the polycrystalline silicon film 305, a natural oxidation film is formed on the surface of the polycrystalline silicon film 305 before the polycrystalline silicon film 306 is formed.


A nurse shark swims at the Hol Chan Marine Reserve coral reef in the outskirts of San Pedro village in Belize, on June 7, 2018

Just a stone's throw off the coast of Belize, brightly colored tropical fish mingle with sharks, manta rays and sea turtles around a sprawling reef beneath the bright turquoise waters of the Caribbean.

The Mesoamerican Reef, an underwater wonder world whose survival was considered to be at risk for years, may now be removed from UNESCO's list of threatened World Heritage Sites thanks to bold steps to save it by environmental activists and the Belizean government.

Second in size only to the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, the Caribbean reef was named to the prestigious World Heritage List in 1996, but placed on endangered status in2009 because of Belize's plans to allow oil exploration nearby and the general lack of laws to protect the site.

The warning also encompassed the mangroves that help protect the reef and serve as a breeding ground for many of the hundreds of fish species that inhabit the area.

That spurred activists into action. They organized an informal referendum in 2012 in which 96 percent of Belizeans voted against offshore oil exploration, choosing the reef over the potential economic gains for the poor Central American country.

As the threat to one of its top tourist attractions began to sink in, the Belizean government adopted a series of laws to protect the reef—notably one in December that places an indefinite moratorium on oil exploration.

The Mesoamerican Reef is expected to be removed from


UNESCO's list of threatened World Heritage sites thanks to conservation efforts

It came just in time for this week's UNESCO meeting in Manama, Bahrain, where the UN body is due to consider removing the reef from its list of endangered heritage sites.

Stretching from the tip of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula all the way to Guatemala and Honduras, the reef includes 380 kilometers (nearly 240 miles) in the waters off Belize, the portion covered by World Heritage status.

A popular spot with divers, it spans 96,000 hectares (237,220 acres) and is home to one of the largest ecosystems in the Atlantic.

The Harry Potter franchise is returning to the big screen this fall with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which just received a brand new full-length trailer.

The nearly three minute trailer gives us a very different look at the Harry Potter universe, as Fantastic Beasts takes place seventy years before the main series in New York. The main character Newt Scamander is the author of a textbook used at Hogwarts that has the same name as the film. As the trailer shows us, Newt is a British wizard who seems to struggle a bit to fit in with his American counterparts.

On Wednesday, April 7, 2010, Abdul Hamid Khan addresses the House of Lords in London, England on the Human Rights Violations by the Pakistan Government toward the peoples of Gilgit Baltistan.

On 7th April 2010, Mr Abdul Hamid Khan, Chairman of Balawaristan National Front (BNF) engaged in a debate in the House of Lords, London UK on the topic of human rights abuses in Gilgit Baltistan.

Mr Khan, speaking on behalf of the Gilgit Baltistan Democratic Alliance (GBDA), used the opportunity to address Honourable Baroness Emma Nicholson and distinguished guests in the House of Lords on the concerns of people of Gilgit Baltistan, located in northern Pakistan. His address included reports of forcible eviction and killings and outlined the reasons for rejecting


the new Pakistani package as it represents a deprivation of freedom for the people of Gilgit Baltistan. The implications of planned dams on the livelihood of people living in close proximity to the River Indus were also considered. Mr Khan concluded by recommending key steps for Great Britain to take to draw attention to these issues on an international stage.

Engaged in the debate were leaders from Jammu and Kashmir, Indian and Pakistani journalists and diplomats as well as prominent Kashmiri leaders Mr. Afzal Tahir, Nadim Aslam and Najib Afsar, Prof. Nazir Tabassum,, Shams Rehman, Dr. RP Sharma and Ani Bhanot. Following the debate, Abdul Hamid Khan, Dr. Shabir Choudhry and Mohammad Anwar, Chief Editor of London based Pakistani newspaper NEWS, held a press conference with Baroness Emma Nicholsonin the British Parliament

Below is the speech presented by Abdul Hamid Khan in the House of Lords or click here for a pdf version.

Pakistan has sought to hoodwink the people and the world by maintaining a facade of democratic rule since 1969 during General Yahya regime and then during Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto after 1971 and then made another fraud by terming it as LFO/Rules of Business in 1994. The local representative body called Northern Areas Legislative Council (NALC) was again re-named as per the Legal Framework Order of 1994 which also gives the same old powers to the Minister for KANA and nothing for the local Chief Executive of the NALC.

Pakistan has widely propagated for the recent 5th Package and its fraudulent Elections for the so-called Legislative Assembly


Session in Geneva, ISI broken houses of 3 leaders of GBDA in Gilgit City, including Adv. Ehsan Ali a prominent leader of GBDA who is also an ex president of Gilgit Baltistan Bar Council and another Adv. Wazir Shaif’s. This rampage continued and a third leader of GBDA Mr. Sultan Madad’s GBDA house was also broken, who had been invited for UNHRC Session Geneva. His passport was stolen along with other documents. This was the intention of ISI to keep the people of this disputed region out of UN bodies and international communities on one side and to harass the nationalists on the other. While Pakistan Army had announced a couple of months before that it has ended the interference in to politics, but in Gilgit Baltistan andPoK it has been increased in to dangerous level, where civilian government has no role to play.

It is the duty of UN and UK also to protect the lives, unique culture, language, property and dignity of the local people from the Pakistani occupation forces and its intelligence agency the ISI, which are the partners of USA and UK in the so-called war against terrorism.

Great Britain should take serious notice of ISI's new attempt to bring the disputed parts of Jammu & Kashmir, occupied Gilgit Baltistan and Chitral as their war field after Swat, so the people would be killed by ISI, terming them terrorists till their resistance power against the Pakistani occupation would be perished. This multipronged strategy of Pakistan Army has created serious threat to the lives,


The Anti-Muslim Republican Vibe Is Getting Muslims Out to Vote

Republican presidential front-runners Donald Trump and Ted Cruz have taken hardline stances on a range of issues concerning Muslims, and it could come back to bite them if either becomes the nominee.

That's because civil rights groups have set a target of registering one million new Muslim voters for the coming elections, according to the New York Times. And advocacy groups believe this goal isn't out of reach in a climate where Trump and Cruz have been accused of stirring anti-Muslim sentiment.

"The fear and apprehension in the American Muslim community has never been at this level," Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, told the Times. "The anti-Islamic tidal wave is spurring civic participation."

Groups like CAIR andon the transmission side. On the other hand, when the loss of a packet for which high importance is set is detected on the reception side, a request for retransmission of the packet is transmitted from the reception side to the transmission side.
According to the technology disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-248322, however, in addition to the packet-loss detection, the reception side has to determine the importance of a lost packet and determine whether or not a retransmission request should be made when the packet loss occurs. Consequently, the processing load placed on the reception side increases.
Further, since an arrangement designed for determining the importance of the lost packet on the reception side has to be incorporated into each packet on the transmission side, the traffic increases

#EqualPayDay isn’t a national day of celebration. It’s a national day of embarrassment. — Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) April 12, 2016

"The game is rigged against women and families, and it has to stop," Warren continued. "It is 2016, not 1916, and it's long past time to eliminate gender discrimination in the workplace."

Historically, 1995 was the last year where the national pay gap was comparable to the 2016 gap in Warren's office, according to data collected by the group that founded Equal Pay Day.

Warren is far from the only politician who pays women less than men.

Most notable on the list is failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, who paid women less than men first as a senator, then as secretary of state, and as a presidential

a stock was rising as fast as Google's once was, it was easy to buy the view that there was something truly special about Google. But when the stock is falling, overlooked problems start to loom large. Having discovered that Google is not, in fact, the promised land, a number of Googlers have left recently to join start-ups, hotter companies like Facebook--and even Microsoft.

"There are many things about Google that are not great, and merit improvement," blogged Sergey Solyanik, who recently returned to Microsoft after a stint at Google. "There are plenty of silly politics, underperformance, inefficiencies and ineffectiveness, and things that are plain stupid." Starting, it would appear, with day care.

Baby steps

Google first began offering day care three and a half years ago, and perhaps it isfirst-rate, the facility was clean and upbeat, and the food--organic, naturally--was terrific.

But at least one parent wasn't happy: Wojcicki. She is a proponent of a preschool philosophy called Reggio Emilia, the hot kiddie philosophy of the moment, which stresses even small children's ability to chart their own learning paths.

A year after the Kinderplex opened, Google opened its second day care center, called the Woods, which Google ran itself. The Woods was an expensive undertaking; in terms of the square footage per child, the aesthetics of its toys, and the college degrees of its teachers, it put the Kinderplex to shame. It also used the Reggio Emilia philosophy.

With the Woods open, Google decided to upgrade the Kinderplex to match the salaries and the teacher-student ratios of the Woods. Google


Zeus, after having been the leader of the victory of the Olympic gods against the titans, became the supreme god
and, sitting on his throne, he started to reign over the world when the God raised his arm
unveiling his powerful lightning bolts. The other gods bowed down in a sign of respect.
No, God had as much authority as Zeus.
Only the goddess Hera, the wife of Zeus, was as esteemed as her husband.
But not even the goddess could go against the Supreme God when he was obstinate.
Zeus created the laws that ruled the world according to his will.
The god, despite loving his wife, was not faithful to her and had plenty of extramarital relations,
and because of that Hera and Zeus lived in a permanent state of quarrel.
Tired of being humiliatedby her husband, the goddess started to plot against the ruler of Olympus.
The other Olympian gods were also fed up with Zeus's arrogance and out cries
and came together to outline a coup against his sovereignty.
The gods entered the room where Zeus slept in an impressive cradle.
Poseidon and apollo chained the god to his bed with strong gold chains
When Zeus awoke, he was immobilized the god consumed by wrath uttered terrible threats;
but the other gods did not mind his utterances,
focusing themselves instead on who would occupy the supreme throne.
The goddess Hera, queen of the Olympians and leader of the uprising,
considered herself as the obvious choice to occupy her husband's throne.
But the throne had other claimants.
Athena thought she was the wisest and most dignified.
While Apollo believed that only the Sun


God could bring light to this new cycle.
Whereas Poseidon claimed to be the most powerful of all.
The goddess, Hestia was the only one who did not show interest in this throne.
Thetis, the deity and daughter of Nereus, envisioned a Civil War and Mount Olympus.
The struggle of brothers against brothers could throw the whole world into chaos,
and only the steady hand of Zeus could avoid such a conflict.
Thetis relied on the powerful Briareos, the largest among the Hecatonchires,
who was a gigantic creature of a hundred arms and fifty heads.
Briareos' loyalty to Zeus was unconditional and so he went to Olympus and broke the chains that imprisoned Zeus
The Supreme God unleashed a mighty thunder that shook the foundations of the entire universe.
Gods who participated in the coup laid down theirarms and submission; this curbed some of the God's wrath.
Hera was punished for having led the rebellion against Zeus.
The goddess was chained and suspended in the sky and she was kept in that position
until she made a solemn oath that she would never rebel against her husband again.
But Zeus concocted a special punishment for Apollo and Poseidon.
The gods would have to put themselves at the service of the Trojan King, Laomedon,
helping in the building of the insurmountable walls of Troy

Norka Martinez Luque, Her Passion for Music

Norka comes from a humble, blessed family, far away, with numerous experiences, common life lessons, other culture, and languages, which made her come to the understanding that music is her passion and destiny. She remarked when she was in the country for album performance and showcasing.

The Us-based Venezuelan was supported to burst into the music scene by her producer Alberto Gaitan, Archie Pena, along with Rican Pena and Luis Giraldo, who were in charge of the sauce arrangements. The definition of the genre for the music took them so long. The musical piece was a pure blend of pop, rock, ballads, Blues, and Rhythm.

Norka loved singing so much ever since she was a child and participated in numerous competitions.


After high school, she travelled to France and pursued a degree in International Business, but continued parallel with what she called her passion. She remembers every minute her mind sunk in music, so she looked for something that could make her happy and joined the Bad Moon Rising band, rock, and funk, through which she appeared in numerous platforms and served as learning for her career development.

Upon returning to the United States, she took art studio, singing lessons with culinary and fashion arts. From that moment onwards there are only good memories, especially the day she met with Emilio Estefan. She had no idea she would be present at that meeting. She approached her with material and evidence that music is her passion. Emilio gave her all theattention she demanded and decided to work with her onwards. Norka explained to him that music is her only passion and she has a talent and only requires a person of his caliber to refine her to fit the industry.

The following week, she was at the Crescent Moon studies, Gloria Estefan and Emilio. The influential music producer carefully listened to Norka’s material and decided to take her for overtime tuition. He told her that she has the potential to be a world-class music singer. From that moment they started working as a team. She demanded to have her singing lessons continued for her to create the desired discipline in music.

Norka’s ultimate challenge was whined weight in 2007 after a severe personal crisis. However, parallel to his career in


The indebtedness clearly was property within the meaning of Section 718(a) (2)2. Under the Treasury Regulations in force in 19383 as well as during the tax year involved4 its gratuitous forgiveness, if it had been by a stockholder creditor, would have amounted to a contribution to the capital of the taxpayer.5 It is also settled that one who is not a stockholder and who has no proprietary interest in a corporation may make a contribution to its capital within the meaning of Section 718(a).6 Here the Hudson Coal Company, although not itself a stockholder of the taxpayer, was the majority stockholder of the taxpayer's own majority stockholder and thus a corporate grandparent, so to speak, with a proprietary interest which a contribution to capital would enhance.

Shortly before December 29, 1938, Foedisch owed Hudson $303,151.15 for coal purchased and resold to the taxpayer; the latter owed $317,634.50 to Foedisch on account of its purchase of coal from it.
Orally, on December 28, 1938, and by letter on December 29, 1938, Foedisch advised Hudson that it was unable to make collections from the taxpayer, and proposed to Hudson that "an adjustment" be made of its obligation to Hudson and that of the taxpayer to it. Foedisch specifically proposed that it assign to Hudson $100,000 of the taxpayer's indebtedness to it in consideration of Hudson's cancellation of $100,000 of Foedisch's indebtedness to Hudson. Foedisch attached to the letter of December 29th an assignment of $99,965.05 of the taxpayer's indebtedness.
On December 29, 1938, Hudson wrote a letter

A large proportion of the resources and time of the agricultural industry is directed toward the production of feed for animals, and most specifically to the production of baled stem and leaf crops such as hay. The conventional process is to cut and condition the crop with a windrower, deposit it on the ground to dry, bale the crop when appropriately dry, and then position the bales in stacks for storage or transportation. These bales are produced in many shapes, from cylindrical (“round”) to rectangular or cubical, and sizes. A

The Ngizim people (Ngizmawa, Ngezzim) live in Yobe State, northeastern Nigeria. As of 1993, there were an estimated 80,000 Ngizim. The tribe lives primarily in Potiskum, the largest city in Yobe State and originally a Ngizim town, as well as the areas to the east and south of the city. Ngizim populations once inhabited parts of Borno and Jigawa states, but have since lost their cultural identity after being assimilated into other ethnic groups. The Ngizim speak a Chadic language also called Ngizim.

History
Before the Fulani Jihad of 1804, the history of the Ngizim people was closely linked with that of the Bornu Empire. By 1472, when the capital of the Bornu Empire, Birni Ngazargamu, was established, the Ngizim had gained a reputation as formidable warriors. As they

Disrupting Investigative Journalism

The steady release of information about highly-classified federal spying efforts, including the existence of the NSA's PRISM program, came as a shock to many. And although many of the details were new to longtime journalist David Talbot, the method for revealing them was not—an inside leak.

That’s why, he says, he is starting the Open America Project, dedicated to "[shining] a spotlight on secretive government and corporate practices that are damaging peoples' lives and the environment." Talbot envisions Open America as a clearing house for stories like the one broken by his former Salon colleague Glenn Greenwald last week about the secret federal government's efforts to sweep up telephone data.

As leader of the main Greek opposition party, New Democracy, Samaras in campaigning hard in the run up to the local elections in November. The vote is likely to be a crash test for the country's two largest parties who between them have dominated parliamentary politics for the last three decades and are seen by many people as the cause of many of the financial woes Greece faces.

Despite the fact that until 2009 the conservative New Democracy party, of which Samaras was a senior member of, the party is insisting that they had nothing to do with the massive deficicit that triggered the EU/ECB/IMF bailout and the concurrent austerity measures which have brought the economy to its


idea that it has a secret plan to get the country out of recession, a lie so bold that one is reminded of Richard Nixon's secret plan to end the war in Vietnam during the run up to the 1972 elections.

On the other hand New Democracy party hacks are flooding the airwaves with claims that the country's debt load is a largely a figment of PASOK party's imagination, deliberately inflated to make their conservative predecessors look bad in the polls. This must come as quite a revelation to the EU statistical agency, Eurostat which has repeatedly found yet more hidden state debt since it arrived and is beefing up its Athens team in order to figure out how much Athens really owes.

State’s Attorney John McCarthy says 43-year-old Renee Bowman will face murder and child abuse charges in the deaths of the two girls and abuse of her surviving daughter.

The case began in September 2008 when Bowman’s 7-year-old daughter jumped out a window and was found in their Calvert County neighborhood.

The family lived in Montgomery County between 2005 and 2007. Investigators believe that’s where Bowman killed the girls and that’s where a grand jury indicted her on those charges.

The girls were adopted in the District of Columbia. Bowman continued collecting payments from a D.C. agency after their deaths.

Slumping financial shares pulled the stock market mostly lower Monday after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's prediction that interest rates will remain low failed to galvanize investors. Stocks initially rose Monday afternoon after Bernanke said that forces like unemployment and tight credit would hold the economy to "moderate" improvements. He also reaffirmed the Fed's position that interest rates are likely to remain low for an extended period.

But the glow from Bernanke's comments faded by the early afternoon, sending stocks generally lower as investors went back to being cautious about the economy. Dan Deming, a trader with Stutland Equities, said there were simply too few buyers to propel the market much higher. "It just feels like it's drifting," he said. "The market feels tired."
The back-and-forth trading follows a


brief spike in stocks Friday, when a strong jobs report for November provided one of the best indications yet that the economy is strengthening. The Labor Department said employers cut fewer jobs last month than at any time since the recession began at the end of 2007, while the unemployment rate dropped to 10% from a 26-year high of 10.2%.

Stocks had jumped after Friday's employment report but later gave up most of those gains as traders started to worry that the signs of recovery in the economy would lead to higher interest rates. Some analysts say the market overreacted in predicting that rates were due to rise, however.

"We have a slowly recovering economy," said Robert MacIntosh, chief economist at Eaton Vance Management. "I don't think you need toIsraeli warplanes conducted an airstrike on July 5 in the northern Syrian port city of Latakia, a U.S. official said, confirming a report.

The attack is believed to be the fourth Israeli airstrike conducted in Syria this year targeting shipments of advanced Russian weapons that Syria is providing to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

There had been conflicting reports as to who may have been responsible for a series of large blasts that occurred in the early morning hours at a Syrian naval base in Latakia last Friday.

Initially, there were reports that Syrian rebels said they were responsible for the attack that resulted in the explosions, but later a rebel spokesman claimed that Israeli fighter jets were behind the attack. That same spokesman claimed that rebel forces believed the base housed advanced

Growth strangled by shortage of cash

Growth, largely dependent on agricultural production, recovered in 2017 due to favourable weather conditions, which resulted in an exceptional harvest after two years of drought. Maize production reached 2.1 million tonnes, increasing agricultural GDP growth by 20%. However, activity is expected to slow sharply in 2018. Rainfalls for the 2017/2018 agricultural season are expected to be lower than those in 2017, impacting on activity. Gold exports are expected to continue to benefit from the stability of world prices. Nevertheless, manufacturing will suffer


from the shortage of foreign exchange, which will hamper imports. Since 2016, the economy has been paralysed by a liquidity crisis whose roots lie in the government’s decision in April 2009 to abandon the Zimbabwean dollar in favour of a basket of currencies, making the US dollar the monetary system’s reference currency. The widening current account deficit, weak inflows of capital and the crisis of confidence have resulted in a limit on the quantity of dollars in circulation, pushing the banks to limit withdrawals to 50 dollars a day. The rise in dollar-indexed bond notes introduced in November 2016 by the central bank following the award of a USD 500 million loan by the Trade Finance Bank for Africa (Afreximbank), together with the use of electronic payment methodsallocated to the wage bill in 2018, the government’s room for leeway on the budget will remain limited. Moreover, the slowdown in activity and the organisation of the 2018 presidential elections will adversely affect revenues as well as spending. The public debt will continue to rise in the absence of fiscal reform and consolidation. Authorities will continue to make use of the domestic market, thus weakening the banking system and credit growth. Arrears with international institutions limit the country’s ability to make use of international aid. Although the country repaid a share of the arrears due to the IMF in October 2016, it still owes USD 1.6 billion to the African Development Bank and the World Bank.

Higher metal prices are expected to encourage export growth in 2018, but


the reduction in the current account deficit will still be mainly attributable to the contraction in imports. As in 2017, the shortage of dollars is expected to put pressure on imports and increase the likelihood of depreciation in the bond notes on the black market. The pressure on this substitute currency will continue in 2018, in the absence of action by the central bank and new inflows of foreign exchange.

The “Crocodile” succeeds Robert Mugabe after 37 years in power

On the 21st November 2017, after 37 years as Head of State, Robert Mugabe (93), was forced to step down. This came a week after the army, denying a coup d’état had taken place, seized control of several institutions in Harare and held Mr Mugabe and his wife under housearrest. The bloodless intervention was triggered by the dismissal of Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa a few weeks earlier, with the intention of opening a route to power for Mr Mugabe’s wife, Grace Mugabe. The democratic transfer of power, with the assistance of the army, thus enabled Mr Mnangagwa, nicknamed the “Crocodile”, to succeed Mr Mugabe. The interim president has already been selected to stand for the general elections in 2018 to shore up his position as leader of the country. A long-time ally of Robert Mugabe and from the ranks of ZANU-PF, the ruling party since independence, the Crocodile is not expected to make any radical changes to the way politics operate in the country. Nevertheless, while massive unemployment and the shortage of cash are fuelling popular discontent,


Fire, Burn battle for Brimstone Cup

the Earthquakes wore 'throwback' uniforms resembling those of the NASL Earthquakes of the '70s and '80s, while taking the field carrying a banner reading 'Keep Us in San Jose!!!' -- the current-day defending champion eased to victory in a second consecutive shutout.

A searing blast on the run from Ramiro Corrales from the left corner of the penalty area gave the Quakes a lead after just four minutes.

Corrales was then involved again as the lead was doubled through an own goal (24), Burn defender Cory Gibbs unfortunately turning a Corrales cross from a tight angle past 'keeper Scott Garlick, a 12th-minute substitute for starter Jeff Cassar after he was hit in the face on the full from a blast by Ronnie Ekelund.

The Earthquakes thencapped the scoring seven minutes after the break with some wonderful stuff, Richard Mulrooney chipping the ball forward to Brian Ching, who chested down a pass to Landon Donovan before spinning to collect the return on the one-two, hammering home from inside the area for his joint league-leading 11th goal of the season.

Burn head coach Colin Clarke made one change to the team that defeated the MetroStars 1-0 the previous Sunday at the Meadowlands. Cory Gibbs returned from injury, replacing Matt Behncke in central defense.

With the change of the club's name next season, whither the future of the Brimstone Cup, created by supporters groups of the Fire and Burn beginning in 2001 and is awarded to the winner of the head-to-head competition. Next year, the Burn will be
