VALENTINO Rossi's name
is again in the financial
as well as the sporting
sections of the Italian
papers, with


a firm of
accountants threatening
legal action to recover
more than two million
Euros of allegedly unpaid
commission.
This is a follow-on from
a major scandal of unpaid
taxes in 2007, as part of the
fee claimed by the firm of
accountants who handled
the situation for Rossi.
The affair began mid-2007
with a widely publicised
claim for more than 100-
million Euros in back
taxes from the Italian tax
authorities, on the grounds
that Rossi had been living in
Italy rather than in London,
while claiming non-resident
status.
In the fall-out, Rossi
sacked his career-long
manager Gibo Badioli;
while a settlement was
negotiated for a payment
thought to be around 30
million Euros.
The accountancy firm
Cesaroni-Cappellini
claims that it is owed a
percentage of 170-million
Euro savings that they
were able to achieve in
these negotiations. At a 1.5-
percent rate, this would
mean almost 2.5-million
Euros.

vision is exemplified in the creative director, Martin Leuthold, whose experience and openness to innovation are at the core of the company's continuing competitiveness. This is maintained by pushing the boundaries of creativity, by involving imagination and lateral thinking in the design process while remaining mindful of the fluid state of the clients' markets. Keeping one step ahead is an essential part of the company's philosophy; it is what the design team tirelessly works towards and is adept at. Turning visions into real textiles is the key skill of the design team, and Leuthold – with his know-how and openness to new ideas whatever the source – ensures a highly desirable product of real appeal to clients from around the world. This is backed up by the factarrangement with limited colours can become more complex through the arrangement of the pattern.

Contemporary artists working with print and pattern are experimenting with new technologies and methods in fascinating and original ways. In the work of Rupert Newman, for example, we see patterns that started out in the form of printed textiles evolve and mutate to become large-scale exterior light projections. Nevertheless, despite the important role played by new media and technologies, it is evident that traditional tools and methods still apply: the art of drawing persists in the animations of Brigitte Zieger, and Sally Greaves-Lord retains historic craftmaking elements in her hand-painted and printed


different. Zieger used the FBI's legendary Most Wanted Fugitives list, created to research people considered by the United States to be dangerous. The idea for this piece is certainly informed by Andy Warhol's print series 'Thirteen Most Wanted Men' (1964), but there are differences, most importantly that Zieger's series refers to the women on the FBI list. 'I was curious to know whether there have ever been women on that list,' says Zieger. 'Since its creation 60 years ago, 494 people appeared on the list, but only eight of those fugitives have been women. The first woman to appear on the list was in 1968, a date that coincides with a period of feminism in the USA, when women were demanding greater liberation.

Accordingly, such a type of apparatus has been mainly utilized either in a researching nuclear fusion test for the plasma, applied as a switch in electric power generation or in space. However, such an apparatus has never been utilized in the art of ultra fine lithography. The major reason which prevents the use of such an apparatus in ultra fine lithography is contamination within the interior of a discharge chamber 19 according to the electric discharge of a large current which instantaneously increases to several million amperes and a high voltage of about 10-90. An additional reason which prevents the use of such an apparatus is the fluctuation of a gas stream within the interior of the discharge chamber 19 generated in responseto the high speed travel of current in spatial curved surfaces. Also, such an type apparatus is greatly affected by the current supply, a large impedance of a current returning wire and the impedance in the center axis direction of a large electric power switch


In the most recent Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 10 comic, Buffy and the rest of the scoobies went up against vengeance demon-in-charge D'Hoffryn. And someone rather prominent died.

It's not the first time, Not too long ago, in Season 8 they killed off Giles and the internet erupted.

Before bringing him back as a Harry Potter-aged version in Season 9.

That's him. But a death in last month's Buffy The Vampire Slayer Season 10 #29 has had much less on-line reaction. The series had also brought back to life a version of vengeance demon Anya/Anyanka, and ex-partner of Xander Harris. And D'Hoffryn played on that.

Was this a note of sympathy and compassion that this version of Anyanka remembered from the last? It seems not.

In 2010, Jamie Vardy was playing in the seventh tier of English football. Six years later, he lifted the Premier League trophy with Leicester City. Photo: Getty Images

Blinded by the glitz, glamour and gross revenue of the Premier League, it is easy to forget how deep football runs in the English community. Especially for fans who view it from afar.

This depth is by no means unique to the English footballing system. Nor, should it be argued, is this depth directly responsible for the many commercial and other successes of the Premier League. The Premier League is very much a league that,


at least at the very highest levels, depends far more on imported players and talent than on home-grown quality.

Of course, there are great stories like that of Jamie Vardy, who, as recently as in 2010, was playing for FC Halifax Town in the seventh tier of English football. Six years later, he was lifting the Premier League trophy for Leicester City after a season that was nothing short of a sporting miracle.

While Vardy’s case is something of an exception, at least at the Premier League level, look one or two levels below and there are many more cases of players and managers working their way up the system and forging substantial careers at the Championship, League 1 and League 2 levels.

But how far down does the English footballpyramid go?

Officially, the pyramid starts from the Premier League and goes all the way down 11 tiers. The first five of these tiers have a league each. There are two in the sixth tier—National League North and National League South—and then, from that point onwards, each tier has numerous leagues running in parallel. Below the 11 official tiers are another 11 or so unofficial leagues. And there are further tiers of amateur and “Sunday League” football teams.

Put this all together and you have a somewhat unbroken pyramid of football that spans something like 30 tiers. From teams like Manchester City, right at the pinnacle, to the team at your local pub that kicks a ball about on a minefield of a pitch on weekends.

What this means, of course,


is a 20-minute walk from the home of Bromley FC, aka the Ravens, in the National League, the fifth tier of English football. Tickets for the average match cost around £15 for adults. The club is easily reached by public transport, there is a great pub next to the ground, and the food and drink are most reasonably priced. All in all, two adults could easily spend an evening on a Bromley FC match for the price of a single ticket at the Crystal Palace FC.

Of course, the stadium is much smaller, and not all that much more sophisticated than a good university or college cricket ground in Mumbai. But the atmosphere is usually quite good, and the football is nothing to scoff at.

There can, of course, besome unexpected problems at this level. A few days ago, there was mild embarrassment at the Bromley ground after a power failure forced the postponement of a match against Aldershot Town FC. There was an electrician on site, the club clarified, but the electrical fault was far too severe for immediate repair. Twitter was rife with ridicule. But the match took place on the 28 November. And tickets for adults were just £10 each.


a volume of processing fluid which substantially exceeds that required to fill the processing chamber and to maintain fluid circulation. A large quantity of processing fluid is used in order to maintain the chemical activity of the processing fluid relatively constant over an extended period of time.
As mentioned earlier, the processing fluid is heated. In order to place the arrangement in condition for operation, the entire quantity of fluid must be heated to the operating temperature. To this end, the container is provided with a thermostatically regulated heating device. The thermostat for the heating device also controls a transporting device for conveying the photosensitive articles into the processing chamber and prevents the transporting device from starting until the fluid has reached its operating temperature.

The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus, such as an electrophotographic copying machine, and a laser beam printer. More particularly, the invention relates to the improvement of an image forming apparatus constructed such that a toner image formed on an image bearing body, e.g., a photo-receptor drum, is temporarily transferred onto an intermediate transfer body, and then the toner image is transferred from the intermediate transfer body to a recording sheet.
2. Description of the Related Art
Generally, in the image forming apparatus, such as the electrophotographic copying machine or the laser beam printer, a toner image is formed on the surface of a photo-receptor drum in accordance with image data, the toner image is transferred onto a recording sheet, and the toner image


transferred is fused and fixed on the recording sheet. Recently, some type of the full-color copying machine or full-color laser beam printer is known. In this type of the machine, formed on the photo-receptor drum is primarily transferred onto the intermediate transfer body. Those color toner images of four colors, yellow, cyan, magenta and black, are superimposed one upon the other to form a composite color toner image. The composite color toner image thus formed is transferred onto a recording sheet thereby to form a full-color image thereon.
A transfer efficiency of the toner image is affected by surface states of the photo-receptor drum and the intermediate transfer body, and resistance variations of the recording sheet and the intermediate transfer body, which results from the temperature and humidity variations.Accordingly, it is difficult to keep the transfer efficiency at 100%. After the transferring of the toner image, residual toner is present on the surfaces of the photo-receptor drum and the intermediate transfer body as the transfer sources of the toner image. To cope with this, cleaning devices are provided downstream of the toner-image transferred parts of the photo-receptor drum and the intermediate transfer body (referred to as xe2x80x9cphoto-receptor drum and the likexe2x80x9d), and remove the residual toner from the photo-receptor drum and the like before the next toner images are formed.
The cleaning device, known and widely used, is such that an elastic rubber blade is pressed against the surface of each of the photo-receptor drum and the like, and the residual toner is mechanically removed by the


the toner particles attach to the devices within the image forming apparatus. And, the recording sheet being transported within the image forming apparatus is soiled with the toner particles. The toner cloud is discharged out of the image forming apparatus, and will contaminate the air in the room and adversely affects the human body.
In the conventional cleaning device, the abrasive bristles of the brush roll are struck against the flicker bar to thereby forcibly shake the toner particles from the brush roll, and the toner particles are collected. Therefore, there is less chance that the brush roll continues its rotation while holding much toner particles. Recently, the size reduction of the cleaning device progresses, and there is proposed a cleaning device not provided with a toner collecting mechanism(Japanese patent laid-open No. 2001-07544). In this new cleaning device, the brush roll functions to temporarily hold the residual toner particles during the execution of the image forming job so as not to hinder the formation and transfer of the toner images. During the execution of the image forming job, the toner particles held by the brush roll are discharged, at intervals, to the photo-receptor drum and the like, and transported to the roll located downstream as in the case of transferring the toner image. Finally, the toner particles are collected by the cleaning device provided for the final stage roll. For this reason, the brush roll continues its rotation while holding the residual toner having been removed from the photo-receptor drum and the like. Accordingly, much toner


cloud is easy to be generated when the brush roll is brought into sliding contact with the photo-receptor drum and the like, when comparing with the conventional cleaning device.
In a method, frequently used, of preventing the inside of the image forming apparatus from being filled with the toner cloud generated in the cleaning device, the brush roll is surrounded by a casing. A sealing member, which comes in contact with the photo-receptor drum and the like, is provided at the edge of the casing thereby to prohibit the toner cloud generated by the sliding of the brush roll from leaking outside the casing. Another frequently used method is that the air around the cleaning device is sucked by a fan, and toner particles are removed from the suckedapparatus, such as a copying machine or a printer, without using a sealing member of the contact type, a fan for absorbing the toner cloud, and the like, whereby the cleaning of the inside of the machine as well as the reduction of the cost to manufacture is realized.
To achieve the above object, there is provided an image forming apparatus having an image bearing body having a photosensitive layer on the surface thereof, a toner image as defined by image information being formed on the photosensitive layer, an intermediate transfer body to which a toner image is transferred from the image bearing body, a transfer roll device for transferring the toner image from the intermediate transfer body onto a recording sheet, a brush roll device for removing the


body which are protruded from the brush roll device, thereby minimizing the diffusion of the toner cloud into the inside of the machine. The axial length of the transfer roll device for transferring the toner image from the intermediate transfer body to the recording sheet is longer than that of the intermediate transfer body. Accordingly, the toner attached to both ends of the intermediate transfer body when it is rotated maybe transferred from the intermediate transfer body to the transfer roll device. Finally, the toner collecting device provided on the transfer roll device collects the toner. Accordingly, the diffusion of the toner cloud generated at both ends of the brush roll device into the image forming apparatus is minimized.
The axial length of the brush roll device is notits axial length including the rotary shaft, but is the axial length of a part of the rotary shaft of the brush roll device at which the abrasive bristles are provided. The reason for this is that the part of the brush roll device at which the abrasive bristles are provided functions as the brush roll device.
The intermediate transfer body for transferring the toner between the image bearing body and the recording sheet does not always consist of one stage of intermediate transfer body. The intermediate transfer body may include a primary intermediate transfer member to which a toner image is primarily transferred from the image bearing member, and a secondary intermediate transfer member to which a toner image is secondarily transferred from the primary intermediate transfer member.


In this case, the first brush roll for removing the residual toner is provided on the primary intermediate transfer member, and a second brush roll for removing the residual toner is provided on the secondary intermediate transfer member. To minimize the diffusion of the toner clouds generated at both ends of the first and second brush rolls into the inside of the image forming apparatus, the axial length of the primary intermediate transfer member must be longer than that of the first brush roll, and the axial length of the secondary intermediate transfer member must be longer than that of the second brush roll. In order that when the toner attached to both ends of the primary intermediate transfer member is transferred to the secondary intermediate transfer member,SILENT HILL Gameplay – ALL DEATHS – PS1 Horror Gaming (Silent Hill 1)

Supreme Court Ruling causes problems for county election offices

A Pennsylvania state Supreme Court ruling is causing problems for county election offices across the state. Locally, it’s costing one county thousands of dollars. This, after the court ruled that a Republican candidate for Governor must be stricken off the ballot for the May primary. This ruling applies to counties across the state and locally, it’s costing Lancaster county $27,000 to re-print all of the ballots.

The Pennsylvania State Supreme Court held that the name of Governor Corbett’s GOP challenger Bob Guzzardi must be removed from the May primary ballot. The ruling cited his failure to file a statement of financial interests with the ethics commission was enough to take him off the


ballot. The timing of the decision, leaves county election offices with a mess to cleanup.

In Lancaster County, the board of elections decided the best way for them to handle removing his name was to reprint the ballots.

“ Certainly the timing of it created a lot of issues for a lot counties, that should have been resolved earlier and money could have been saved, “ says Randall Wenger, Chief Clerk, Lancaster County Board of Elections

Wenger says they were able to absorb the cost of that $27,000 through savings in their printing budget for the year. But, that it was obviously an unexpected cost they had to incur.

And Dauphin County officials had to come up with a solution of their own. Director of the office of elections Jerry Feaser saysthat makes a dream impossible to achieve : the fear of failure."

PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Fred Jackson's path to the NFL was much like one of his long, serpentine touchdown runs, the ones where he zigzags across the field and beats defenders not with blistering speed but an uncanny feel for changing directions at precisely the right time. That Jackson made it to the Buffalo Bills — and became one of the better running backs in the league — is an inspiring testament to his determination, because a lot of other players would have long since given up. His career didn't route him through Los Angeles, Ann Arbor, Columbus, Baton Rouge or any other big-time college football hub. Jackson went to Coe College — a Division III school in Cedar Rapids, Iowa — wasn't invited to the scouting combine andbarely got a sniff from anyone in the NFL. He's now a centerpiece of the Bills, who open the regular season Sunday at the New York Jets.

The National Football League has tapped Perkins Miller, formerly of the WWE and NBCUniversal, as its chief digital officer. The move is part of a reorganization of the NFL Media Group spearheaded by Chief Operating Officer Brian Rolapp. "As you well know, the walls between 'traditional' and 'digital' media have all but disappeared, and as such, our media strategy has had to change and evolve," Rolapp said. At WWE, Miller was executive vice president of global digital media and played a key role in the development and launch of the WWE Network, the new online programming service that premiered in February and

On the night his professional football career ended, Napoleon McCallum was unconvinced. He had been rushed by ambulance to a Bay Area hospital, his left leg grotesquely twisted when the Los Angeles Raiders fullback was tackled by San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ken Norton Jr. at Candlestick Park. It was the opening Monday night of the 1994 season, the Raiders' last in Los Angeles. And for McCallum, it was the last game of his career. He just didn't know it.More than 15 years later, seemingly none the worse for wear after six surgeries to repair the damage to his leg, the former Navy star looks back on an unusual career abruptly cut short.

Philip Anschutz doesn't get pushed around. He's a billionaire who makes business deals with his head, not his heart. When he sets his mind to something, he stands firm. In other words, he's not likely to bring an NFL team back to Los Angeles. Throughout the Farmers Field process, it was Tim Leiweke, then president of AEG, who was keeping the concept alive, scrambling to keep all parties engaged, always selling the notion that a downtown L.A. stadium would not only work but would be the gem of the NFL.

The most-watched NFL conference championship game since 1982 and two "American Idol" episodes helped Fox draw the largest weekly average for any television network in the last two broadcast seasons. With the National Football Conference Championship Game averaging 57.93 million viewers, and the two "Idol" episodes finishing second and third, Fox averaged 24.4 million viewers forits prime-time programming between Jan. 18 and Sunday, according to figures released Tuesday by the Nielsen Co. Viewership for the New Orleans Saints' 31-28 overtime victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday was the second largest for an NFL conference championship game, trailing only the 1982 matchup between the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers, which averaged 68.7 million viewers.

Jerry Markbreit was an NFL official for 33 years, the referee in eight conference championships and four Super Bowls. This week, the league essentially showed him the door. Markbreit, along with eight other former prominent game officials, were apparently fired for refusing to train replacements to take the jobs of locked-out officials. The replacements, many of them high school and junior college officials, met Friday for training in Dallas.


“The NFL never actually told us in writing we were fired,” said Markbreit, 77, who retired in 1999 as a game official and has spent the past decade as an officiating trainer.

Earl Morrall was the NFL's answer to a brilliant Broadway understudy. He left his mark on NFL history by stepping in for two future Hall of Fame quarterbacks - Johnny Unitas in Baltimore and Bob Griese in Miami - and turning in a string of masterful performances to keep his teams on track. "All Earl ever did was win games for me, whether it was as a starter or coming off the bench," said legendary Miami coach Don Shula, whose 1972 Dolphins finished with an unblemished 17-0 record - the only perfect season in the NFL's modernera - thanks in large part to Morrall.

The armchair speculation about UCLA's defense this spring has centered on how the Bruins will replace Anthony Barr, the All-American linebacker who is expected to be a top-10 pick in the NFL draft.

Jack was named to the Freshman All-American team by the Sporting News last season, and was the Pac-12's defensive and offensive freshman of the year after a late season run at running back.

That's a rematch of the controversial “Fail Mary” game in 2012, when replacement officials awarded the Seahawks the winning touchdown on a Hail Mary throw that appeared to be intercepted in the end zone by Green Bay. In Week 3, Seattle plays host to Denver, the team it beat in Super Bowl XLVIII in February....

Former USC receiver Marqise Lee is among 30 players who have confirmed they plan toattend next month's NFL draft in New York. Lee is one of seven receivers who will be at the draft, which begins May 8 at Radio City Music Hall. Odell Beckham Jr. of Louisiana State, Brandin Cooks of Oregon State, Mike Evans of Texas A&M, Cody Latimer of Indiana, Jordan Matthews of Vanderbilt and Sammy Watkins of Clemson are other receivers scheduled to attend. Lee declared for the draft after playing three seasons at USC. He won the Biletnikoff Award as college football's top receiver in 2012.

Picking up where they left off in February, the two teams in Super Bowl XLVIII, Seattle and Denver, open the 2014 NFL season with blockbuster games. The league released its schedule Wednesday, revealing the defending champion Seahawks will play host to Green


Bay in the opener Thursday, Sept. 4, and Indianapolis will play at the Broncos in the opening Sunday night game. Packers-Seahawks is a rematch of a 2012 "Fail Mary" game won by Seattle on the final play, a controversial touchdown pass that from every camera angle looked to be an interception by Green Bay. Replacement officials called it a touchdown for the Seahawks, however, and that game proved to be the final straw that ended the officiating lockout.

In the NFL, it's not always how you start, but how you finish. The San Diego Chargers can attest to that, having overcome painfully slow starts the last two seasons only to make the playoffs with a flurry down the stretch. So it's only natural that, when the NFL announced its2009 schedule Tuesday, the eyes of Chargers General Manager A.J. Smith were immediately drawn to the final month of the regular season.

San Leandro: Woman, son carjacked at gunpoint Thursday afternoon

SAN LEANDRO -- A woman and her son were carjacked at gunpoint in their driveway Thursday afternoon by four men, police said.

The incident occurred in the 500 block of Broadmoor Boulevard around 4 p.m., just after the woman and her 12-year-old son had pulled into the driveway. One of the suspects brandished a gun and demanded the woman's purse, which she handed over.

The four suspects, described as men in their 20s, then got into the victim's Honda SUV and drove away.

Police were contacted and located the vehicle, left unoccupied on the 10000 block of MacArthur Boulevard in Oakland. The SUV was processed for evidence and returned to the victims.

Lt. Robert McManus called the incident "fortunate in that no one wasRayudu handed two-match ban over Karnataka T20 reaction

Hyderabad captain Ambati Rayudu has been suspended for the two games in the Vijay Hazare 50-overs tournament after he was found to be guilty of breaching the BCCI code of conduct during the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy.

Rayudu was involved in an argument with the umpires during the Hyderabad-Karnataka match earlier this month after two runs were added to Karnataka’s total at the end of their innings due to a revised boundary call. With Hyderabad eventually falling two runs short in their chase, the team, under Rayudu, stayed back in the middle and urged the umpires to commence the Super Over. Their contention was that they were batting with the target of 204 in mind, before two more runs were added to


then.”

The BCCI is also looking into the role of the Hyderabad team manager in the incident.

Rayudu has faced code-of-conduct issues previously. In the 2012 edition of the IPL, he was fined 100% of his match fee for using abusive, obscene language towards Harshal Patel of Royal Challengers Bangalore. He was also involved in a tiff with Mumbai Indians team-mate Harbhajan Singh in 2016.a taboo that has defined the past 70 years of British politics.

This week marks the 70th anniversary of a very dark chapter of human history, the U.S. incineration of tens of thousands of Japanese civilians by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a war crime that has been rationalized in popular U.S. history, writes Gary G. Kohls.

By Gary G. Kohls

August 6, 2015, is the 70th anniversary of the U.S. atomic bombing of Hiroshima, a civilian city that had minimal military value despite the claims of President Harry Truman when he announced the event to the American people.

An estimated 80,000 innocent civilians plus 20,000 weaponless young Japanese conscripts died instantly in the Hiroshima bombing raid. Hundreds of thousands more suffered slow deaths and disabilities from agonizing burns, radiation sickness, leukemia, anemia, thrombocytopenia and untreatable infections. Another shameful reality wasthe fact that 12 American Navy pilot POWs, their existence well known to the U.S. command prior to the bombing, were instantly incinerated in the Hiroshima jail on that fateful day.

The Japanese survivors and their progeny suffered a fate similar to the survivors and progeny of America’s “Atomic Soldiers,” who were exposed in the line of duty to the hundreds of nuclear tests in the 1950s and 1960s or to the depleted uranium that the U.S. military has used in the two Gulf Wars. These groups were afflicted with horrible radiation-induced illnesses, congenital anomalies, genetic mutations, immune deficiencies, cancers and premature deaths.

The whole truth about the Hiroshima slaughter the first of only two cases of nuclear bombs being dropped in wartime, with the second coming only three days


later at Nagasaki has been heavily censored and mythologized ever since. In 1945, war-weary Americans accepted the propaganda that the bombings were necessary to shorten the war and prevent what U.S. officials claimed could be the loss of a million U.S. soldiers during a November 1945 invasion of Japan.

On Aug. 9, 1945, the U.S. military dropped the second atomic bomb on the equally defenseless city of Nagasaki, which no longer had any military value to Japan. “Fat Man,” the plutonium bomb named after British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, was detonated before the Japanese leadership fully understood what had happened at Hiroshima.

The premeditated killing of so many civilians would be defined by the Nuremburg tribunal in the context of Germany’s actions as an international war crime and a crimeagainst humanity. Of course, the reason that the United States wasn’t sanctioned for Hiroshima and Nagasaki as Germany was for the Jewish Holocaust and other atrocities was that America was the victor and the occupier and thus was in charge of making and enforcing the rules in the post-World War II international order.

So, the official War Department-approved, highly censored version of the end of the war in the Pacific was added to an ever-lengthening list of myths that we Americans have been continuously fed by our corporate-controlled military, political and media opinion leaders. In the process, the gruesomeness and cruelty of war has been cunningly propagandized so that we consumers of information see only the glorification of American militarism.

My high school history teachers all seemed to be ex-jocks


everything their revolutionary colonial victims did was barbaric, atheistic and evil. Anybody who resisted colonial oppressors was treated as a terrorist.

It was from these history books that we learned about the “glorious” end of the war against Japan via nuclear incineration. Probably everybody in my high school, including myself, swallowed the post-war propaganda hook, line and sinker.

Of course, I now realize that my classmates and I, just like most other Americans (including the volunteer or conscripted members of the military), have been naive victims of “lies our history teachers taught us.” In their defense, those teachers had been misled in their own schooling by equally mis-informed teachers who got their information from a variety of dis-informers who wrote the books: and those authors were the war- and empire-justifyingthe war in the Pacific could have ended in spring 1945 without the need for the August atomic bombings, and therefore there might have been no Okinawa bloodbath that senselessly doomed thousands of American Marines and Japanese soldiers.

And there would have been no need for an American land invasion of Japan in November. Indeed, in the 1980s, top secret records were revealed that the contingency plans for a large-scale U.S. invasion (planned for no sooner than Nov. 1, 1945) would have been unnecessary. However, to the victors go the spoils, and the American victors were the ones running the war crimes tribunals and determining the content of my history text books.

Japan Seeking Surrender

American intelligence agencies, with the full knowledge of President Franklin Roosevelt’s and President Harry Truman’s administrations,


regarded as a deity in Japan). That reasonable concession was refused by the U.S. in its demand for unconditional surrender, which announced at the 1943 Casablanca Conference between Roosevelt and Churchill and then reiterated at the Potsdam Conference by Truman, Churchill and Soviet leader Josef Stalin. Still, the Japanese continued searching for an honorable peace through negotiations.

Even Secretary of War Henry Stimson said: “the true question was not whether surrender could have been achieved without the use of the bomb but whether a different diplomatic and military course would have led to an earlier surrender. A large segment of the Japanese cabinet was ready in the spring of 1945 to accept substantially the same terms as those finally agreed on.” In other words, Stimson knew that the U.S.Hiroshima was bombed. Indeed, Russia did declare war on Japan on Aug. 8 and was advancing eastward across Manchuria when Nagasaki, ironically the center of Japanese Christianity, was incinerated.

Certainly Russia still felt the sting of the humiliating defeat and the loss of territory from the disastrous Russo-Japanese War of 1905 when the Russians were beaten by upstart Japan. Ego-bloated nation-states have long memories, especially when they lose an argument, lose a fight or are embarrassed in public. Witness the 150-year-old enduring devotion of white segregationists to the Confederate flag or consider the rabid right-wing, sociopathic neo-Nazis all around the world in their devotion to Adolf Hitler and the symbol of fascism, the Swastika.

Spoils of War

The U.S. didn’t want Japan surrendering to the Soviet Union with the Soviets getting


a share of the spoils of war. The Soviet Union was soon to be one of only two world superpowers – and therefore a future enemy of the United States. So the first “messages” of the Cold War were sent by the U.S. to the USSR on Aug. 6 and 9, 1945.

The Soviets didn’t receive the spoils of the Pacific War that they had anticipated, and the two superpowers were instantly mired in the multi-trillion-dollar stalemated nuclear arms race and the multitude of proxy wars that regularly risked the total extinction of humanity.

But somehow most of us still hang on to our shaky “my country right or wrong” patriotism, desperately wanting to believe the myths that say that the war-profiteering corporate elite (and the politicians, military leaders andNEW YORK -- The Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs at home Sunday night to avoid the wrong kind of NBA history.

The Knicks' 130-118 victory snapped an 18-game home losing streak. Had New York lost Sunday, the club would have tied the 1993-94 Dallas Mavericks for the longest home losing streak in NBA history.

The Knicks' victory was a topic of conversation during Sunday's Academy Awards in Los Angeles.

Actor Samuel L. Jackson, on stage to announce the best adapted screenplay, told longtime Knicks fan and friend Spike Lee that New York had ended its home skid.

"First of all Spike, so glad you're sitting down. After 18 consecutive home losses, the Knicks won tonight. I repeat. The Knicks won tonight, defeating San Antonio 130 to 118," Jackson said.

Lee appeared to


had 19 points and 13 assists, and Mitchell Robinson added 15 points, 14 rebounds and 5 blocks off the bench.

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich credited his reserves for keeping San Antonio in the game at Madison Square Garden but wasn't happy with his club's defense.

"It was a pathetic performance defensively. But the Knicks had something to do with it," Popovich said. "They were physical, they did a good job."

New York last won at home Dec. 1. Earlier in the season, the Knicks lost a franchise-record 18 consecutive games.

Epidemiology, pathophysiology, and etiology of congestive heart failure in older adults.
To review the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and etiology of congestive heart failure (CHF) in older adults. Published reports relevant to the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and etiology of CHF were systematically reviewed. Studies involving older adults and more recent studies were emphasized. More than 75% of patients with CHF in the United States are older than 65 years of age, and CHF is the leading cause of hospitalization in older adults. CHF is also a major cause of chronic disability, and annual expenditures for CHF currently exceed $10 billion. In addition, both the incidence and prevalence of CHF are increasing, largely as a result of the aging of the population. Older adults are predisposed to developing CHF as a result ofSaudi Arabia suspends trade and investment with Canada after the Canadian foreign ministry urged Riyadh to release arrested activists.

Saudi Arabia announced on Sunday night it had suspended new trade and investment with Canada after the Canadian foreign ministry urged Riyadh to release arrested civil rights activists, Reuters reported.

The kingdom also gave the Canadian ambassador 24 hours to leave the country and recalled its own ambassador to Canada, said a statement by the Saudi foreign ministry.

The statement declared that the foreign ministry “will freeze all new trade and investment transactions with Canada whilst retaining its rights to take further action.”

The Saudi ministry had been briefed that the Canadian foreign ministry and the Canadian embassy urged the Saudi authorities to “immediately release” the civil rights activists, the statement said.

For the study, the researchers followed 251 obese men aged 38 to 83 with low testosterone levels. Among these men, 214 were followed for two years and 115 were followed for five years.

The men were given 1,000 milligrams of testosterone by injection when the study started, again at six weeks and then every 12 weeks until the end of the trial.

The men who were followed for five years lost an average of 35 pounds. Their average body-mass index — a measurement that takes height and weight into account — dropped from 34 to 29, moving them from the obese category into the overweight category. In addition, they also saw improvements in their cholesterol and triglyceride levels, along with their blood pressure.

In addition, there was no increasepersonality disorder - known as Hubris syndrome - while in power.

British Prime Ministers Tony Blair and the late Lady Thatcher also had something else in common - the use of egotistical language during their respective periods in office - known as Hubris syndrome

Researchers at St George's, University of London have discovered that this personality change was reflected in both Blair's and Thatcher's use of language.

Hubris, say the researchers, is commonly associated with a loss of contact with reality and an overestimation of one's own competence, accomplishments or capabilities.

It is characterised by a pattern of exuberant self-confidence, recklessness and contempt for others, and is most particularly recognised in subjects holding positions of significant power.

Fourteen clinical symptoms of Hubris syndrome have been described. People who show at least three of


these could be diagnosed with the disorder.

Researchers at St George's, University of London, searched for evidence of some of these clinical features in the language used by three British Prime Ministers – Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair and John Major – by examining transcribed samples of spoken language taken from Prime Minister's Questions.

David Cameron

They thought that frequent use of certain words or phrases, such as 'sure', 'certain' and 'confident', the first person pronouns 'I' or 'me', references to God or history, might show up during 'hubristic' periods.

They found that 'I' and 'me' and the word 'sure' were among the strongest positive correlations over time in Tony Blair's speech.

Blair's use of the word 'important' also increased with time. Words and phrases that became more frequent with time in the speechesof Lady Thatcher and Tony Blair also included the phrase 'we shall', while phrases that included the word 'duties' diminished.

The authors also found that language became more complex and less predictable during hubristic periods.

For example, Lady Thatcher's language becomes more complex at the end of her term of office, when her decisions and judgements were opening deep divisions within her own party. The same happened to Tony Blair's speech during the run-up to the invasion of Iraq.

These linguistic patterns were not reflected in the language of John Major. The relative frequency of the word 'we' compared to 'I' was in fact higher throughout the terms of office of both Thatcher and Blair than at any point of Major's premiership.

Additionally, the changes over time in words and phrases adopted


by both Thatcher and Blair appeared to mirror the time course of hubristic behaviour.

Dr Peter Garrard, the lead researcher, from St George's, University of London, said: ' Hubris syndrome represents a radical change in a person's outlook, style and attitude after they acquire positions of power or great influence.

'They become obsessed with their self-image, excessively confident in their own judgement and dismissive of others, often leading to rash, ill thought-out decisions.

'In other words, the acquisition of power can bring about a change in personality: it is as if power, almost literally "goes to their head".

Wall Street pundits are predicting the U.S. Federal Reserve will announce an end to its latest stimulus program this week in the belief the American economy is strong enough to stand on its own. The Fed began buying certain assets in bulk during September 2008, as it dealt with the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. on the one hand and the economic recession on the other hand. Shortly thereafter, it launched the first of three programs collectively known as quantitative easing, or QE (PDF).

The announcement could come Wednesday when the Federal Open Market Committee concludes a two-day meeting that also is expected to focus on the federal funds interest rate, which officially has been in a range between 0 percent and 0.25 percent since the end ofMeet Laura Siegemund.

After a strong start, Laura Siegemund’s year of many firsts continues tonight in Palm Springs; in 2016, she’s checked off her first time in the Top 100, her first time in the third round of a Grand Slam, and now her first time in the main draw of Indian Wells. After defeating Irina-Camelia Begu in three sets on Wednesday, the German booked a very special date on Friday evening — a meeting with Serena Williams. René Denfeld introduces his compatriot in this TTI Beginner’s Guide.

Breakthrough seasons can come at all ages. Some players race into the upper echelons of the rankings at the young age of 16 or 17, others take a little longer to put all the pieces together. Laura Siegemund certainly belongs into the


latter group, although success at the junior levels came pretty early. After she spent her first few years in Saudi Arabia and Indonesia — where her father worked as an engineer — and just over a year after Steffi Graf concluded her career, the now 28-year-old from Swabia won the prestigious Orange Bowl in the girls’ 12 and under category.

“The new Steffi – what is she made of?”

After winning tennis’ most cherished fruit basket back in December 2000, attention from the German media and the “hype-train” began chugging along rather quickly. As a result, she found herself with the same albatross around her neck as every other German in an era after Becker and Graf — incredible levels of expectations that very few can really live up toand advanced praise that turned into a burden.

Siegemund’s transition from juniors to seniors turned out to be a struggle and it wasn’t until 2010 that the tennis prodigy made her debut on the WTA Tour in Båstad. Her ranking continued to sit around No. 200, putting her just about on the edge of WTA Tour, as well as Grand Slam qualification draws and ITF appearances.

At the age of 24, the German tore both her ligaments in the summer of 2012 and decided to shift her priorities, putting her tennis career on the back burner. Siegemund began studying for a bachelor’s degree in psychology and her trainer certification, which she completed in 2013 as the best of her class.

“I thought it was great,” Siegemund told the German tennis federation


studying and coaching.”

In 2014 and 2015, Siegemund climbed back up the rankings — slowly but surely — and entered the Top 100 for the first time in her career after a quarterfinal appearance at the BGL BNP Paribas Luxembourg Open last autumn. In addition, the 28-year-old won the biggest title of her career at the ITF $100,000 event in Biarritz, France, finally qualified for a Grand Slam main draw in singles and picked up three WTA doubles titles.

During the last offseason, the German was busy writing her bachelor thesis — on a topic all too familiar within tennis.

We report two psychoacoustical experiments that assessed the relationship between auditory azimuthal localization performance in water and duration of prior exposure to the milieu. The adaptability of spatial hearing abilities has been demonstrated in air for both active and passive exposures to altered localization cues. Adaptability occurred faster and was more complete for elevation perception than for azimuth perception. In water, spatial hearing is believed to solely rely on smaller than normal cues-to-azimuth: interaural time differences. This should produce a medial bias in localization judgments toward the center of the horizontal plane, unless the listeners have adapted to the environment. Azimuthal localization performance was measured in seawater for eight azimuthal directions of a low-frequency (< 500 Hz)

it seem like a choreographed dance. In either case the effect is usually comedic, whether this was intentional or not, which is why the term is often used as a pejorative in film scoring circles.

While it was prevalent in the early days of animation due to how efficient it was for the animators to time the animation to, it soon became derided as cliché and corny, and its usage decreased considerably in the following years. That said, it's certainly not a Discredited Trope—there are still some modern cartoonists who still use this, such as Genndy Tartakovsky (who loves timing his cartoons to tempos) and Danny Antonucci. Feature animated films still make some use of it, but it's limited to musical sequences, like the ones seen in Rio.

This isis to have them perform an attack choreographed to the rhythm of a piece of music.

The absurdly famous "Knife" cue from Psycho is kind of a funny aversion, compounded with Beam Me Up, Scotty. If you watch the scene carefully, the music is NOT Mickey Mousing. However when people mimic the scene by making a stabbing motion and singing "Reent! Reent! Reent! Reent!" they will synchronize it.

2001: A Space Odyssey used this for several extended scenes, including spacecraft in flight. The music wasn't actually written for the film, so they simply chose the most accurate piece to use for the individual sequence.

The score as we know it was originally just used by Kubrick as make-shift editing music, so he'd have something to work with. It turned out he


liked it so much he threw the entire original score, which had already been written and recorded, out of the window. (And this may have been his plan all along: Also Sprach Zarathustra, in particular, is suspiciously thematically appropriate.)

When auto-docking with a space station in the game Elite, it plays "On the Beautiful Blue Danube", in reference to 2001: A Space Odyssey. (Not all of the versions of Elite do this, though.)

Still with Kubrick, in A Clockwork Orange the overture to "La Gazza Ladra" is used in two places, and apart from heralding bouts of the old ultraviolence, in at least one of them (the fight of Alex and his droogs against a rival gang in an abandoned theatre) the music goes together with the tremendously violent actionin the screen.

Used in The Blues Brothers when the eponymous duo are trying to sneak into the performance, with the band playing "Minnie the Moocher" as the music (although being heavily musically inclined, the two are doing it on purpose).

Also used much earlier during the "SCMODS" sequence.

The original King Kong used this. It's most noticeable during the famous "taking off the dress scene", when Jack is climbing on rocks, and when the tribal chief walks (or rather, marches along to the soundtrack) down to greet the film crew.

The Cat in the Hat movie. While attempting to get back the pet dog, Nevins, the two main protagonists attempt to sneak in, all the while the sound of their footsteps punctuated by the Cat playing on his whiskers. The children


both look at him, and he replies "I thought the moment needed something."

In Stardust, an absolutely epic fight scene is set to the Can-Can—as is Robert de Niro dancing around in drag.

The pub jukebox left on Random in Shaun of the Dead. The protagonists beat up a zombie with pool cues in time with Queen's "Don't Stop Me Now".

The film Black Narcissus was infamous for its Mickey Mousing, especially with its climactic scene on two nuns fighting on a cliff.

And also during the chatty swordfight duel. The music stops every time a stroke is parried. The music and the dueling both stop to allow the characters to perform acrobatic feats and talk to one another.

"Eye of the Tiger," written for Rocky III, was written for precisely this reason—thefamous training scene had been filmed with "Another One Bites the Dust" in mind, but when they couldn't get Queen to let them use the song, they asked Survivor to write a song with a riff to match Rocky's punches.

In Orson Welles's preview cut of The Lady from Shanghai, he filled in the spots where music would later go with stock themes from the studio's library, which he thought worked quite well. However, the studio took the picture out of his hands and had an original score composed designed to punctuate the action. This enraged Welles, who dismissed it "a Looney Tunes score".

In the original The Last House on the Left, a character is stabbed to death with a jarring electronic chord playing with each stab.

In Tron, when


Mega!Sark is walking outside the MCP's core, the four electronic beats are from Wendy Carlos' score.

The '60s Batman TV series, along with many other cheesy movies of the decade, tended to feature obnoxious, brass-heavy music during fight scenes, which would provide a stinger chord for every punch that landed.

In the Firefly episode "Safe," the semi-Celtic-style folk music River dances to in one scene happens to synch up beautifully to the fight scene occurring over with Mal and the crew.

Firefly actually does this routinely due to its aversion of Space Is Noisy requiring something else to punctuate the otherwise silent action onscreen.

Malcolm in the Middle plays with this trope in the episode "Kicked Out," where the nephew of Francis' employers does this to Francis with a keyboard, which driveshim crazy.

Games should only be included if their case of Mickey Mousing isn't Musical Gameplay.

Happens often in the Kirby series, most notably in 64: The Crystal Shard's cutscenes. Super Star Ultra attempted it in places, but in several occasions, most jarringly in the cutscene that occurs wherein you find Nova, the music is just baaaarely out of sync with the video.

The Moblins in Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker do this, the music usually beating in time with their footsteps.

In the Sly Cooper series, sneaking up on an enemy would shift the music volume down and play a series of single notes in time with each step the player took.

Epic Mickey, naturally. Bonus points for the player to do it themselves whenever you make Mickey sneak and a little


musical dun plays with every sneaking step.

The "Record of the Graylands Incident" in Vagrant Story, which serves as the opening sequence of the game, punctuates dramatic events with musical cues, from Ashley's first appearance in the game to Sydney's wyvern D'Tok crashing through the chapel's ceiling.

Banjo-Kazooie does it at the beginning of the game with the Nintendo 64 logo walking across the screen. For the X-Box Live Arcade version, however, it was removed for obvious reasons, so we just get Mickey Mousing without visual accompaniment. No, really.

In the Touhouseries, various events and bosses are partiallyscripted to coincide with the music:

One of Kogasa Tatara's appearances coincides with the sound of Youkai giggling in Undefined Fantastic Object.

Hina's first appearance in Mountain of Faith is timed to coincide with 0:20 of her stage theme, when the tone of the music changes,

Some other boss spellcards are timed to match the tempo of their leitmotifs very well. Special mention to Yuyuko's finale, which goes into a guitar solo as the whole pattern explodes around you.

Other bosses aren't assured to match up as well depending on how quickly the player defeats them, but a straightforward kill keeping decent pace will often see things line up suspiciously well. This happens as early in the series as Yuki filling the screen with red right as the percussion drops off, or


all in attempts to perfectly synchronize the stages with their themes (assuming your game isn't running slowly for some reason, that is).

Inverted in New Super Mario Bros.: The Goombas and Koopa Troopas, as well as the powerups, interact with the music.

The most impressive of which is that if you play your tennis properly, the final boss dies exactly at the end of the musical phrase.

Tigger does this in Piglet's Big Game, essentially making two areas of the game Metal Gear Solid with Mickey Mousing.

Sort of at the end of Team Fortress 2 "Meet the Spy"; you can hear his stabs in time with the theme music!

Halo does this several times. In 343 Guilty Spark, a Scare Chord in the soundtrack is timed to play when a corpse fallsthrough the door during the Pvt. Jenkins cutscene. A certain percussion hit plays when the Athens Station explodes in Halo 2, and another scare chord is used when MC rides the bomb out of the Cairo. During the final Escape Sequence in Halo 3, the music segues to the final phrase exactly when you make the jump to the ship.

In the Dark Side Ending of The Force Unleashed II, the music matches with the lightsaber clashes.

In the Thunder Plains of Final Fantasy X, the lightning strikes in time with the music.

The final boss of Ristar has a soundtrack that starts off slow and ominous while he sits in the background and throws minions at you and makes some preliminary attacks—if you make decent time on this phase, it


of an episode of Teen Girl Squad syncs up dialogue in time with the background theme:

Carl Stalling's work for Warner Brothers (which included many of the classic shorts) deserves some kind of special award. Particularly notable in that the music makes no attempt at coherence on a purely musical level: it's just a disjointed series of glissandos, pizzicatos, runs, and stingers designed to match the action.

Common in The Fairly OddParents, so much so that in one episode, Timmy wished for all noise to be removed from the world. The Mickey Mousing was used as a sort of thematic replacement for all other sounds.

Subverted/parodied twice in Family Guy. In "The Story on Page One", Peter provides his own Mickey Mousing while sneaking around. In one of the segments in"Family Guy Viewer Request Episode #1", he asks a genie for his own personal soundtrack, and the music does this (being light and breezy when he's skipping, turning into a Sexophone when he and Lois are about to get intimate).

Stewie also gets a job following fat guys around with a tuba, playing in time with their steps.

Done a lot in Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy. They played with this in one scene of the episode "Brother, Can You Spare An Ed?", where Edd provided Mickey Mousing on his pedal-steel guitar until Eddy told him to knock it off.

The classic opening sequence for Batman: The Animated Series was composed entirely of the serious version of this. Done so well that you don't realize that the jet engine of the Batmobile


turning on is actually a cymbal roll.

You also didn't notice that it didn't actually name the show. It was just that awesome.

The BBC/EBU series The Animals of Farthing Wood did this extensively. Not only did it play for every single animal in the show, but every animal had its own particular variation, from the whistle-tune of Whistler to the high-end xylophone of the rodents.

Pixar's dialogue-free short Presto, that screened just before WALL-E in theaters, uses Mickey Mousing extensively, among other classic animation comedy tropes.

This is sort of the point of Disney's Fantasia and Fantasia 2000, though it was actually done in reverse, with animation produced based on existing music.

As were two episodes of Tom and Jerry and Looney Tunes which had Tom and Bugs Bunny, respectively, playing Liszt'sSecond Hungarian Rhapsody. The two are suspiciously similar, right down to Bugs having to contend with an annoying mouse living in his piano. Oh, and there's a Looney Tunes episode based on the Barber of Seville overture. Let's just say that WB and MGM's animation departments did a lot of it in general.

The "Hungarian Dances" are some of the most popular pieces used, especially in Looney Tunes: [2]

In the long-buried Disney film Song of the South, Mickey Mousing is rampant. However, special mention goes to Br'er Bear, whose inability to keep up with the Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Leitmotif is a sign that he is The Ditz of the story.

Ruby Gloom uses this up to a point, but it is particularly notable for the character Doom Kitty, whose every movement and


action is punctuated by an appropriate violin chord. It's adorable.

The album Suspended Animation by Fantomas could be described as "children's metal" and was written after Mike Patton realized that you can tell what's going on in a cartoon that's playing in another room simply by listening to the music.

One very memorable piece of Demoscene music is an S3M file titled "Catch that goblin!!" by Skaven of the Future Crew. It's a perfect example of Mickey Mousing, even though there isn't any video footage to go with it. The piece sounds very cartoony, with the composer's selection of instruments and sound effects. It really does sound like it could have been taken from a cartoon, but it's actually all mixed in realtime by the computer.

The Demoscene in general takesfrom lots of different scenes. For example, a trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World has cuts from a few of the 'boss battles' to the beat of 'Invaders Must Die' by Prodigy.

Scott Pilgrim also Mickey Mouses the Universal Studios fanfare with Lucas Lee cricking his neck and skateboarding on set. It's more funny than it sounds.

Andrew Hussie of Homestuckinverts this trope often. The music from the artists is composed ahead of time, then Andrew picks one piece and animates the Flash sequences to its beats and any Leitmotifs present. This is taken to its logical extreme in the Descend sequence, which matches every single leitmotif in the song with an appropriate piece of action.

Seattle Mayor Ed Murray was met with boos as well as cheers outside the University Heights Center on Monday as he unveiled a growth plan for the University District that includes major changes to the size of buildings allowed in the area.

The proposed zoning changes, now headed to the City Council, would allow buildings as high as 320 feet in one part of the neighborhood and 240 feet in a few other parts.

On Oct. 11, the U.S. Department of Commerce formally decided to initiate an investigation in response to the Sept. 20 petition.

Both the ITC and the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue the investigation, with a preliminary determination of dumping scheduled for Feb. 28, 2007. If affirmative, this decision may impose an antidumping tariff on imports from those countries, which should strengthen the bulk price for juice in the United States.

Torres again failed to produce, as he has done for most of the season, but Benitez defended the striker whose only goal in the last 14 games came against League 1 opposition, Brentford.

"[Torres] didn't play badly tonight," Benitez told reporters.

"You can analyse a striker for the number of goals he scores. Maybe you're right. But he did a great job for the team tonight. It's not easy against a team playing deep, but he was winning the ball in the air, bringing options for those around him.

"I thought he was playing well. I disagree he was playing badly. But of course we want him to take the chances that come his way.

"If he continues working like today and playing like hedid today, he will score goals. I'm convinced about that. We could be talking about Fernando not scoring goals, and he had four chances. But he had four chances."

Benitez will hope his side leave last night's sloppy performance behind them as they prepare for a trip to Manchester City on Sunday in a bid to close the gap on Roberto , before a midweek journey to Middlesbrough, where victory will set up an FA Cup quarter-final against Manchester United.

Cauldron also created Gray Boy, and it allowed him to exist as he was the most viability as an anti-scion contingency after Eidolon. When the Slaughterhouse Nine began killing more parahumans than Gray Boy was theoretically worth, they manipulated Glaistig Uaine into killing him and taking his power so it could be used later if needed.[21]

Cauldron was targeted by The Simurgh during her attack on Madison, Wisconsin in 2009. The Simurgh used Professor Haywire's technology to break into one of the dimensions Cauldron was located in, costing Cauldron a stock of formulas and releasing several Case 53s. The Travelers triggered using the lost formulas, and Noelle Meinhardt's rampage in Brockton Bay led to Cauldron being publicly outed and the creation of the Irregulars.[22]

Almost one in four men (23%) and one in six women (17%) between the ages of 16 and 24 said they had done this.

Half of all respondents said their overseas partners were British, and more than one in three said these were from another European country.

A subpoena was also sent to Sprint by the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. AT&T has revealed that it, too, has been subpoenaed by the same states as Sprint.

Sprint has been one of the most vocal opponents of the AT&T/T-Mobile deal, saying that if the merger is approved it will "stifle innovation" and pose a "serious threat" to the wireless industry. As pointed out by PhoneScoop, these states won't have any actual power to block or approve

There’s a wonderful line from director John Ford’s elegiac early ’60s ode to the old west, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance:

“This is the west, sir. When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.”

Dwayne Erickson dealt inYevgeny Roizman announces resignation, criticising the abolition of direct elections as a blow to democracy.

Yevgeny Roizman, the mayor of Russia's fourth-largest city and a rare critic of the Kremlin in a senior region position, has quit to protest against a government-promoted law which scrapped mayoral elections.

Lawmakers voted last month to abolish direct mayoral elections in Yekaterinburg, located more than 1,500km east of the capital, Moscow. Mayors will now be elected by the legislature from a shortlist drawn up by a special commission.

"I don't want [to] be part of this and I am resigning," Roizman told lawmakers on Tuesday in the local legislature.

A charismatic opposition politician who narrowly beat a Kremlin-backed candidate in the mayoral race in 2013, Roizman had been due as chairman of the legislature to put


the scrapping of elections to lawmakers for a final vote.

Instead, he told lawmakers he refused to "legitimise someone else's decision" and pronounced the session closed, video of his speech shared online showed.

Speaking to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), Roizman described the amendments as "a direct cheat on the people of [the city]".

"This is Yekaterinburg - people will understand me. It was the only way to come clean out of this situation," he added. "Step by step, the local council is being stripped of everything - authority, finance, direct elections."

According to RFE/RL, Roizman's position is already largely ceremonial, as most executive powers in Yekaterinburg belong to the head of the city administration, Aleksandr Yakob.

'Remain in history'

Critics say Russian President Vladimir Putin has tightened his control over electoral politics overthe nearly two decades that he has spent as president or prime minister.

Roizman is one of the few leading Russian regional officials who openly criticises Putin, who was re-elected president in March in a landslide victory, and supports his archrival Alexey Navalny.

As mayor, Roizman has regularly attended demonstrations organised by Navalny who was barred from running the March vote.

Roizman had called for a boycott of the presidential vote, saying the election was not free or fair.

Leonid Volkov, an opposition politician from Yekaterinburg, said Roizman's resignation had obstructed the passage of the election legislation, but that it was unlikely to stop direct elections being scrapped eventually.

"This political act and civic deed will, however, remain in history," Volkov wrote on social media.


The LINE Novel online service where users can publish novels online through the LINE app launched on Tuesday. Two animated ads were released simultaneously with the launch.

loundraw ( Tsuki ga Kirei , I want to eat your pancreas character designer) served as supervisor, director, script writer, character director, chief animation director, and background artist on one of the ads, called Mirai Sōzōki (Record of Future Imaginations). He also drew some of the key animation and performed some of the voice work on the ad. The ad features a theme song titled Genjitsu (written as 幻実), which means "real illusion." The lyrics are written by loundraw .

PINE JAM produced the animation for the ad. Chiptune worked on the 2D material designs and the 3DCG. Noriyuki Imaoka was the animationdirector and a key animator. Kazuomi Goka was unit director.

A second ad, which focuses on LINE Novel's light novels, was produced by CloverWorks . Shingo Fujii served as director, storyboard artist, and supervisor. Toshiyuki Satō is character designer and chief animation director. The ad tells a story about four girls, each with their own ideas of what kind of novels they'd like to submit to LINE Novel.

Both ads were commissioned by Straight Edge , an IP and talent managing company run by former Dengeki Bunko Editor-in-Chief Kazuma Miki . On his Note.mu, Miki describes LINE Novel as a "User (author) first publishing enterprise." Miki is the managing editor of LINE Novel.

LINE Novel launched alongside the LINE Bunko Edge imprint. The latter will publish LINE Novels in print form.


As part of the imprint's launch, 43 authors have been announced as part of the lineup, including A Certain Magical Index 's Kazuma Kamachi and Nyaruko: Crawling with Love! 's Manta Aisora .

Miki states that his ideal for LINE Novel is to create a web-to-book publishing service that will protect author's rights and avoid situations where new authors are used and cast aside by predatory publishers. The service is partnering with publishers Dengeki Bunko , Kodansha Taiga, Shincho Bunko, Shinco Bunko nex, Shueisha j-books, Bungeishunju , Takarajimasha , Starts Shuppan Bunko, No-Ichigo Bunko, Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha, and Tokyo Sogensha.

LINE, Nihon TV , and Aniplex have also collaborated to hold a "Reiwa Novel Prize" for LINE Novel. The grand prize is 3 million yen (US$26799), a book publishingdeal, and a guaranteed screen adaptation of the winning novel. Kazumi Takayama from the idol group Nogizaka46 serves as the ambassador for the novel prize and posted a video message encouraging aspiring authors to submit.

The deadline for the prize is September 30, and the grand prize winner will be announced in March next year.
