At the University of the West and DRBU, monastics reside in the vicinity of the students, and this provides for a greater measure of peace and mindfulness across the halls. Crime does not thrive on the Buddhist University campuses as it does on the campuses of so many American colleges. Attention is paid by all members of the community to how people act and interact. A janitor may follow a student to the classroom to tell her that she has left a mess in the bathroom, and the student usually goes back to take care of the situation. Everyone feels responsible for the clean environment. This behavior builds up and continues when studentsleave the campusag.

Learning does not end when the students leave their campuses and mingle with other people. Naropa students made a decision to share with local farmers the composted materials from their campus. The farmers, in turn, decided to share their pears, apples, and other fruit, all of which must be picked by students from the trees on the property.

Florida, in 1963. Kennedy was interested in revoking the oil depletion allowance, a decision that would have meant steep losses for Texas oilmen, and he continued voicing his support for civil rights, always a contentious issue in the South.…

President Kennedy demonstrated his willingness to buck big money during the “steel crisis” of April 1962, when he forced a price rollback by sending FBI agents into corporate offices. But Kennedy’s gutsiest — and arguably his most dangerous — domestic initiative was his administration’s crusade against the oil depletion allowance, the tax break that swelled uncounted oil fortunes. It gave oil companies a large and automatic deduction, regardless of their actual costs, as compensation for dwindling assets in the ground.

Robert Kennedy instructed the FBI to issue questionnaires, asking the oilpresidency, he and newly elected congressman Bush were often allies on such issues as the oil depletion allowance and the war in Vietnam….[oil executive Jack] Crichton (close with Bush and head of a secretive Dallas-based, oil-connected military intelligence unit that was deeply immersed in aspects of the tragic events of November 22, 1963) was so plugged into the Dallas power structure that one of his company directors was Clint Murchison Sr., king of the oil depletion allowance, and another was D. Harold Byrd, owner of the Texas School Book Depository building.….

When [George HW] Bush arrived in Washington after the 1966 elections, he was immediately positioned to help large moneyed interests, and by so doing improve his own political fortunes. His father, still influential, had twisted arms to get


him a coveted seat on the House Ways and Means Committee, which writes all tax legislation. The committee was the gatekeeper against attempts to eliminate the oil depletion allowance, and Bush’s assignment there was no small feat. No freshman of either party had gotten on since 1904. But former senator [and investment banker] Prescott Bush had personally called the committee chairman. Then he got GOP minority leader Gerald Ford — a Warren Commission member and later vice president and president — to make the request himself. It was a lot of voltage, but the rewards were worth the effort. George HW Bush now would be a go-to rep for the oil industry, which could provide Nixon with the Texas financial juice he would need to win the Republicannomination in 1968….

During the Eisenhower years, the Texas oil industry really took off. George HW Bush was now part of a “swarm of young Ivy Leaguers,” as Fortune magazine put it, who had “descended on an isolated west Texas oil town — Midland — and created a most unlikely outpost of the working rich.” Central to these ambitions was continued congressional support for the oil depletion allowance, which greatly reduced taxes on income derived from the production of oil. The allowance was first enacted in 1913 as part of the original income tax. At first it was a 5 percent deduction but by 1926 it had grown to 27.5 percent. This was a time when Washington was “wading shoulder-deep in oil,” the New Republic reported. “In the hotels,


on the streets, at the dinner tables, the sole subject of discussion is oil. Congress has abandoned all other business.”

Following the discovery of the giant East Texas oil fields in 1931, there was nothing Texas oilmen fought for more vigorously than their depletion allowance. From its inception to the late 1960s, the oil depletion allowance had cost taxpayers an estimated $140 billion in lost revenue. Nixon, backed by Prescott Bush and his friends, supported the allowance in 1946, while [the man he defeated and replaced in the House, Democrat Jerry] Voorhis opposed it. Six years later, General Dwight D. Eisenhower supported the oil depletion allowance, and he got the oilmen’s blessings — and substantial contributions as well.…

In 1969, despite his earlier attempts to keep the peace among thethe Bush crowd. There were news reports that federal officials and members of Congress were looking into possible antitrust violations by people who sat simultaneously on multiple oil company boards. In a December 1973 letter responding to members of Congress, an assistant attorney general had confirmed that the Nixon Justice Department was looking at these so-called interlocking directorates.

Most striking about the long list of violators is this: a significant majority of them had been friends of, fund-raisers for, or major donors to George HW Bush. Many had also been employers or sponsors of George de Mohrenschildt [the oilman-spook and longtime friend of HW Bush who served as a kind of mentor to Lee Harvey Oswald.] The list included the son of oil depletion king Clint Murchison Sr.; Admiral


JFK’s final year in office — and in life. Jack Kennedy had been fighting with the same group of independent oilmen over the oil depletion allowance, and Bobby Kennedy’s Justice Department had sent grudging FBI agents into oil company offices to examine their books. Nixon and his old nemesis JFK had both angered the same people, and both had been removed from the presidency….

Robert G. Stone, who ran Harvard University’s board of overseers in the late 80s when it pumped massive investments into the obscure oil company Harken Energy at the time the firm was employing young George W. Bush and bolstering his political and financial fortunes, was a board member and sometime chairman of a whole range of companies involved with international shipping, the use of inlandbarges to move oil, and oil exploration. At one point he controlled one of the world’s largest cargo fleets. And he was intimately associated with a small circle of highly politicized oilmen whose names have appeared in previous chapters. He served as chairman of the board of the Houston-based Kirby Corporation, a shipping and oil concern substantially controlled by the family of the oil depletion allowance king, Clint Murchison.

How is that for a thumbnail on why the Senate can’t resist the oil industry? Back to the New York Times and the recent, failed effort to cut oil tax breaks:

Energy-state Democrats criticized the initiative, saying it was misdirected and would do nothing to ease gasoline prices and could cost American jobs.

world, Behram provided Danger Room with dozens of his images, none of which have ever been published in the United States. What follows is a sample of some of the most arresting photos. Be advised: Many of these pictures are disturbing. Some of them show dead children. Also be aware that our sources came to us with an agenda: discrediting the drone war. "I want to show taxpayers in the Western world what their tax money is doing to people in another part of the world: killing civilians, innocent victims, children," Behram says. Stafford Smith is threatening the U.S. embassy in Pakistan with a lawsuit over its complicity in civilian deaths from drone strikes. And anonymous U.S. officials have claimed that Akbar, whose clients are suing the CIAwants to publish a book of his hundreds of photographs. A black hole might soon become a floodlight. Datta Khel, Oct. 13, 2010 Behram arrived in Datta Khel, a district not far from Mirin Shah -- North Waziristan’s main city -- after the funerals for the victims of this strike. He was told that six people died, but didn’t see the corpses. One of the dead was said to be a man in his thirties who was supposed to soon be married, the cousin of the teenager in the maroon shirt shown here. The teenager helped with the cleanup and rescue effort at the scene of his cousin's death. Along with some other local children, when he saw Behram taking photos, he ran over to Behram to express


how angry he was. He gathered the children and they showed Behram fragments of the missile they recovered. Three U.S. ordnance experts examined Behrams' photos of these pieces, are concluded that they were Hellfires -- the missiles fired by U.S. drones and helicopters. The teenager in the maroon shirt and his friend in the black, about the same age, were an emotional mixture of anger, grief and exhaustion. "They were pissed because he's one of these guys' cousin," Behram recalls, "but at the same time they were overworked in the rescue, so they were not saying much."

Mirin Shah, Nov. 28, 2008 A drone strike, reportedly firing two missiles, slammed into the home of Syeda Khan, a vegetable vendor who lived in a village on the outskirts of MirinShah. The nighttime strike destroyed his guestroom, located in the front foyer of his house, but left the structure standing. A curfew kept Behram from reaching Khan's house until the next morning. Khan's relatives, about a dozen of whom live with him, weren't thrilled when Behram took out his camera. "They were not happy to have their pictures taken," he remembers. Even though drone strikes were relatively rare back then, Khan's relatives, and the bystanders gathering around, thought having their story documented just meant getting labeled terrorists or terrorist sympathizers by a hysterical press. They opted not to tell him much. "It's the same case as with so-called CIA spies on the ground," Behram says. "For the locals, there's no point in getting labeled terrorists."

Above Noor Behram's Home


in North Waziristan, Dec. 12, 2010 Sometimes Behram doesn't have to travel anywhere to see the drone war. He lives on its battleground. All he has to do is look up. According to Behram, who has lived in North Waziristan all his life, drones are in the skies above the region more or less constantly. Around this time last year, he was sitting around his house with his children when he saw a familiar silhouette in the air through his window. "I took my camera out and took a picture," he says. "I see them a lot in the sky above where I live." Which, of course, raises the disturbing possibility that misinformation could one day lead the CIA to do more than buzz by his home. Thereare major risks in reporting on the drones in the aftermath of a strike, as well. "I feel threatened when I go to a site because... there might be a second attack," he says. "A rescue operation could cause a second attack, because of the assumption that it's the Taliban helping the Taliban."

Dande Darpa Khel, Aug. 21, 2009 By the summer of 2009, the drone war had escalated dramatically, with then-CIA director Leon Panetta calling it the "only game in town" for bottling up terrorists in tribal Pakistan. Before dawn one August morning, residents of Dande Darpa Khel, two kilometers north of Mirin Shah, learned what that would mean for them. A massive drone strike took out three houses and partially destroyed another three. "Of all the aftermaths,


this was the worst," says Behram, who arrived in the area by sunrise. "There was big rubble, [much] destruction, and women and children killed." He remembers smelling the "stench" of burned bodies and feeling the heat from fires that had been burning for hours. The New York Times, writing about the strike, described Dande Darpa Khel as a stronghold of the brutal insurgent Jalaleddin Haqqani. But it wasn't Haqqani who cleared the wreckage. This man, for instance -- Behram doesn't know his name -- was described by others as a local who came to help his neighbors. He signaled to Behram that he had exhumed a fragment of one of the missiles used in the strike. Behram asked him to pose with it.

Dande Darpa Khel, Aug. 21, 2009The stench that Behram smelled when he arrived at Dande Darpa Khel came from the charred bodies of Bismullah Khan and his wife. Near the bombed-out remains of their house, Behram found the Khans' three living children. The children -- the younger two girls on the left, their older brother on the right -- were in shock, and clutched the ruins of their neighbor's house as if the rubble could comfort them. "These kids had no idea where their parents were. They didn't know their parents were killed," Behram says. Also killed in the blast: their brother, Syed Wali Shah, age 7. Behram later heard that the children were taken in by their uncle. "There's no government here, no social network or security," he explains. "People have to


look after each other."

Dande Darpa Khel, Aug. 21, 2009 By the time Behram reached Bismullah Khan's mud house, partially destroyed in the strike, Khan's youngest son, Syed Wali Shah, had already died. Behram watched as the boy's body was laid out on a prayer rug, a "very small" one, in preparation for his funeral. "The body was whole," Behram recalls. "He was found dead." The villagers wrapped a bandage around the boy's head, even though they had no chance to save his life. Behram doesn't know who the target of the Dande Darpa Khel attack was. ("You'd have to ask the CIA that," he says.) But he observed people's anger as they prepared bodies for burial and cleared the wreckage. "The people were extremely angry. They were talkingand shouting against the U.S. for the attack," Behram says.

In some cases, Behram is able to take more than pictures. Survivors of drone strikes give him pieces of the AGM-114 Hellfire missiles that the drones fire. This fall, his lawyer, Shahzad Akbar and human-rights activist ally Clive Stafford Smith displayed Shahzad's photography at a Lahore art festival with the unusual name Bugsplat Week. They decided to include pieces of the missiles themselves. Akbar says it was a "hassle" to get the missile parts out of North Waziristan, as it would have been difficult to explain to a soldier or policeman what they were doing with missile fragments in their car. "We transported about seven pieces separately to a city in Punjab and then from there I drove these


the strike -- along with walkie-talkies, landlines are a primary, albeit unreliable, mode of communication in north Waziristan -- Behram found few people on the scene the day after the attack willing to talk to him. "People there were very angry, criticizing the role of the media," he says. He opted to take a picture of the destruction of a house -- his camera captured a pile of mud, stone, brick, wood and rebar -- before deciding to leave the scene in order to defuse hostility. Much of the reporting on the drones in the area isn't actually done in the area. And much of it relies on official statements -- which can be lax with the truth -- for describing what happened and who was killed. Thatbreeds contempt among the locals. "A lot of the media don't go on the site of the attack," he says. "If more went to the sites, it'd be more useful."

Tehsil Datta Khel, Dec. 18, 2009 This mess of straw, wood and a blue crossbeam used to be someone's roof. The blue beam is meant to be bear the load of bricks used to make the ceiling more substantial. "The person didn't have so much money," Behram explains. He arrived on the scene of a strike eight hours later. Funerals had already been performed for the victims. Locals told him three people had died -- "the media reported many more," he says -- but he did not see their bodies directly. Usually, Behram says, locals will open up about


what they saw after an attack if a journalist helps with the cleanup. Not this time. When he tried to snap a portrait of a rescue worker, he was told, "What's the point? It's all going to be wrong anyway." Behram decided to limit his photography to the wreckage of the house.

Datta Khel, Oct. 28, 2010 The man in the brown bending down is Zar Gull, a vendor in the district of Datta Khel near Mirin Shah. The brick rubble he stands amongst used to be his home. He's searching for the remains of his possessions. The locals told Behram that the strike killed four people, all of whom were Gull's cousins. They all lived together in one large room. By the time Behram arrived, the locals had(This story originally appeared in on Sep 20, 2016)

NEW DELHI: Three months after President Pranab Mukherjee gifted a statue of Mahatma Gandhi to the University of Ghana , a group of professors and students have started a petition to bring it down.The opposition centres around their belief that Gandhi was "inherently racist" for his depiction of native black Africans as "kaffir" (considered a racial slur in Africa) in his early writings, when he was fighting for the rights of Indians in South Africa.According to reports, some members of the university, led by a former director of the Institute of African Studies, Professor Akosua Adomako Ampofo, have started a campaign to get the institution to pull down the statue, which was unveiled during a visit by President Pranab Mukheriee


in June.The campaign carries the slogan 'Gandhi Must Fall' and 'Gandhi For Come Down' (pidgin for Gandhi Must Come Down), inspired by the "Rhodes Must Fall" campaign against a statue of Cecil Rhodes at Oxford University.The statue was installed at the recreational quadrangle of the university's Legon campus in Accra.Apart from a campus agitation, a petition to the university authorities on change.org has already attracted 872 signatures. The site was chosen by Ghana foreign office when the President went for a visit in June. While there are some voices preaching moderation, the ministry of external affairs is also waiting to see whether the campaign gathers steam.One of Gandhi's writings that have been cited in the petition reads thus: "A general belief seems to prevail in the Colony thatmain residential area, to the south; and a dormitory town for the workers of the harbour facilities which are located a few kilometers south of the city, near the tip of the Ras Nouadhibou peninsula, at Port Minéralier.

Attractions in Nouadibou include the Table Remarquable, several markets, a ships' graveyard and Mediterranean monk seals.

The port of Nouadhibou is the final resting place of over 300 ships and hence the world’s largest ship graveyard. Unlike the arrival en masse of ships at Mallows Bay, here the number of craft has built up over time, as corrupt officials accepted bribes from boat owners to allow them to dump their vessels in the area.

Nouadhibou has always been an important transit point for international transport.
In the beginning of the 21st century, it was


Galbreath nor GCG contested the filings, and James B. Wessinger ("Trustee") was appointed as the Chapter 7 Trustee for both cases. On July 26, 1999, the Court entered an Order for Relief adjudicating Galbreath bankrupt.
Trustee seeks to set aside a promissory note executed by Galbreath on August 20, 1998 ("the 1998 Note") in the principal amount of $1.5 million in favor of Defendant Douglas Asphalt Company ("DAC"). Trustee also seeks to set aside security deeds granted by Galbreath ("the Property Transfers") pledging his interests in real estate located on Hutchinson Island, Georgia, a twenty-five acre tract in Chatham County, Georgia, and a farm in Bulloch County, Georgia, (collectively, "the Three Parcels") as collateral for the 1998 Note. Both transactions occurred within one year of the Order for Relief.for which said deed has been given has been paid in full." (Stip. 31).
*192 DAC's willingness to make these substantial advances to GCG was driven by multiple motivations. First, DAC needed to get the work completed, and it became a choice of keeping GCG in business through the making of advances, or taking over the job directly, or finding a new subcontractor. Second, DAC trusted Galbreath's ability to turn the company's fortunes around and pay off all the obligations when better weather made it foreseeable that Galbreath could return to profitability. Finally, it was to DAC's benefit to make the advances in order to satisfy DAC's obligations to the Georgia DOT to insure timely payment of all bills. Spivey acknowledged that he never made additional advances conditional on


which there was some equity. Galbreath agreed to execute the note, both personally and as president of GCG, and to convey property which he owned personally as collateral security. Although documents were drafted and circulated, the written instrument was not executed until August 1998 after another creditor, The Coastal Bank, declared Galbreath's debt to Coastal to be in default. (Tr.231-32).
On August 20, 1998, Galbreath, GCG, and other parties executed a $1.5 million note in favor of DAC (Ex. P-15). As collateral security, Galbreath personally conveyed to DAC a security interest in the 25 acre parcel, a 143.4 acre farm in Bulloch County, Georgia, and his one-third interest in 46.32 acres on Hutchinson Island, Georgia, which he owned with Joel and Ronnie Spivey, principals of DAC (Ex. P-17, P-18,in late 1998 than at the beginning.
DAC proffered evidence that the pre-1998 oral obligation of Galbreath was established through testimony and was corroborated by the notion that such an *194 arrangement is "standard" in the road construction industry. Specifically, notwithstanding the corporate identities under which companies customarily operate, DAC asserts that contractors expect the individuals who own small companies to be personally liable for the corporate obligations. Spivey testified generally to the existence of such an industry standard. Rann Folsom concurred. He testified that DAC was a subcontractor of his company on one occasion six to seven years ago and that his company owed DAC a substantial amount of money. When his company was unable to pay, he testified that he felt personally responsible and told DAC so.


He stated that it was an industry "standard" to treat companies that operated "within the trade" in this manner. However, notwithstanding the fact that his contract was entered into no later than 1995 and completed no later than 1996, neither Folsom Heavy Construction Company, of which he was the sole shareholder, nor he, personally, paid DAC at the completion of that job. Rather, in 1997 a note was executed by Folsom Heavy Construction only (Ex. D-43) for $180,000.00 which was to have been repaid one year later. Neither Folsom nor the company repaid that note at the end of the year; instead, the company repaid the note a year and a half later, or six months after it went into default by its terms. Folsom provided none oflien for unpaid employee withholding obligations in March 1998 (Ex. P-12, Tr. 103). The DAC general ledger reveals that regular payments were made to Wild Cat Equipment, Ring Power, Carlton Company and Graham Naylor (Ex. P-20).
In December 1998 GCG ceased doing business because of the attachment of the IRS lien against its receivables, which included future payments due from DAC under the two subcontracts in question. DAC then took over the jobs, hired most of the employees of GCG, and assumed some of GCG's equipment leases. DAC hired Galbreath and his wife and continued their salaries at the same level which they were earning while GCG was in business. In addition, Three G's Trucking, which was owned by Galbreath's wife and which had been formed to qualify as


the conclusion that he was insolvent on August 20[6] or was rendered insolvent by the execution of the note.
Galbreath's effort to assume liability for a pre-1998 personal obligation for GCG's debt to DAC was consistent at trial, but inconsistent with prior statements or actions he took. At about the same time as the execution of the note, Galbreath delivered personal financial statements to Coastal Bank which failed to disclose any debt to DAC. Galbreath testified at trial that he mistakenly omitted the DAC note from his personal financial statements given Coastal Bank because, although he owed the money, it was a business debt that he believed should be kept separate from his personal debt. In a discovery deposition he stated that the debt was omitted from the statementsnote, and secured it by the conditional assignment of the 25 acre tract and the mortgage on the 76 acre tract, the promissory note was attached as Exhibit "A" when both security documents were filed for record in the Office of the Clerk of the Superior Court of Chatham County, Georgia. On October 30, 1997, DAC, acting through Joel and Ronnie Spivey, executed a quit claim deed reconveying the 76 acres to Galbreath and recited that "the debt had been paid in full."
*197 In December 1997 Galbreath offered the 25 acre tract as collateral to Coastal Bank (Ex. P-37). The closing was handled by attorney Frank Brannen, who discovered the outstanding encumbrance on the 25 acre parcel and the deed recital that "the debt" secured by the 76


DAC perfected its security interests in his property; (4) DAC gave no economic value to Galbreath in exchange for the property transfers; and (5) DAC knew or should have known that Galbreath was insolvent from August 20 to November 24, 1998, the date on which DAC perfected its security interests.
1. Galbreath's obligation arose within the one-year avoidability period.
Section 548(a)(1) sets out the first element necessary to prove constructive fraud: the transfer or obligation must have been "made or incurred on or within one year before the date of the filing of the petition." Here, the property transfers were made on November 24, 1998, which date was clearly within the avoidability period. The issue is the date on which Galbreath first incurred the personal obligation evidenced by the 1998the debt evidenced in the note as of July 31, 1996, I find that the 1996 Note was paid in full in accordance with the agreed terms on or before July 31, 1996.[9] Thus, no writing was in existence prior to the one year avoidability period which rendered Galbreath personally liable to DAC.
B. The Alleged Oral Agreement(s)
DAC contends that Galbreath's obligation to DAC originated in February, 1996, by virtue of certain oral promises from Galbreath to Joel Spivey, that Galbreath continued to personally obligate himself to DAC prior to each advance, that DAC performed in reliance on Galbreath's promises, and that the 1998 Note served simply to memorialize his pre-existing obligation.
The nature of Galbreath's alleged oral promises to DAC was that of a guaranty of GCG's debts. Galbreath


for the company or in a personal capacity. Galbreath's statements and his conduct are similarly ambiguous. The evidence taken in its entirety fails to support a conclusion that his "guarantee" was anything more than assurance that he would devote his best efforts as chief executive officer to insure that GCG repaid DAC. While Galbreath took his responsibilities as owner of GCG seriously and felt responsible for GCG's commitments, there was conflicting evidence as to whether he was actually personally liable for all of GCG's debt.[12]
*202 Second, the nature of Galbreath's alleged promises is uncertain. DAC contends that Galbreath assumed a then current primary liability to DAC in his conversations with Joel Spivey. The understanding which emerges from the testimony of Galbreath and Spivey, however, is less than clear"Galbreath" entity were payable to GCG or to Galbreath, Inc., see Ex. P-20; Stip. 24, 25, not to Galbreath personally. Finally, at no time did DAC cut off GCG's credit only to resume it after DAC received the assurances of Galbreath. Rather, the testimony was uncontroverted that, without respect to any assurances that it may have received from Galbreath, GCG continued to make advances, never threatened to cut off GCG's credit, and was under immense pressure due to its contractual obligations to the DOT to make those payments. At the time the first conversations between Spivey and Galbreath took place, Galbreath's obligation was neither primary nor joint with GCG, but was merely secondary and contingent. His obligation did not ripen into a primary obligation until he signed the


1996 Note. After that obligation was fulfilled at the time the terms of the 1996 Note were satisfied, any additional oral promises by Galbreath were again intended by the parties to be secondary and contingent until he executed the 1998 Note.
I conclude, therefore, that even if Galbreath felt responsible as sole shareholder for the performance of his company and viewed himself as a guarantor of the company's obligations, he was clearly not the primary obligor and did not "intend to stand in the place of the third party." Galbreath's alleged oral promises to DAC were, at most, assurances to pay if GCG were unable to do so. DAC did not detrimentally rely on these assurances, and the "original undertaking" exception is not applicable.
C. Conclusion
Because Galbreath executed the 1998whether these benefits qualify as economic benefits which satisfy the requirements for "value" set out in § 548. Pursuant to the following discussion, I conclude that they do not.
First, with respect to the salary and use of a company car that, I find that Galbreath did not receive those indirect economic benefits "in exchange for" executing the 1998 Note. Galbreath did not receive the salary in a lump sum at the time he executed the 1998 Note; nor was he entitled to receive it without regard to whether he was working. In fact, Galbreath and his wife were not added to DAC's payroll until GCG ceased operations in December, 1998. There was no evidence that Galbreath expected to work for DAC in the future at the time he


signed the 1998 Note; indeed, he testified that DAC never promised him or his wife a job if he would personally sign the note. Therefore, the evidence shows that Galbreath received a salary and used the vehicles only after his employment by DAC began, an event which was not anticipated at the time the 1998 Note was executed.
Second, with respect to the payments made by DAC to GCG's creditors whose debts were guaranteed by Galbreath, the evidence shows that those payments were not made "in exchange for" Galbreath's executing the 1998 Note. The advances made by DAC during 1996 through 1998 went to pay GCG's obligations, some of which Galbreath had guaranteed, and some of which he had not guaranteed. Those payments, however, which totaled $1.783 million, hadthe $1.5 million amount of the 1998 Note. In other words, there was no evidence that Galbreath personally benefitted, after all the payments and advances were "netted out." Indeed, the evidence is clear that his financial condition continued to worsen between August, 1998, and December, 1998. As a result, Galbreath's bankruptcy estate was depleted.
Finally, although the opportunity to return GCG to profitability may well have been, from Galbreath's perspective, received "in exchange for" his assuming liability for GCG's debts, that opportunity was, viewed objectively, nothing more than a roll of the dice which was highly speculative and which, neither prospectively nor in hindsight, provided a "reasonably equivalent" exchange of value to Galbreath. At the time the 1998 Note was executed, GCG had a negative net worth,[17] the value


that DAC perfected its security interest in the Three Parcels while he was insolvent. First, Galbreath admitted he was insolvent. (Tr.140). Second, Galbreath testified that the information in financial statements prepared for The Coastal Bank, which showed a $1 million net worth, was accurate except for the omissions of a $500,000 debt to The Coastal Bank and the DAC obligations. His execution of the 1998 Note in the amount of $1.5 million, together with the Coastal debt, reduced that net worth to a negative $1 million, thus rendering him insolvent. Finally, Galbreath's testimony shows that he remained insolvent from August 20, 1998, at least until the Security Interest Transfers were perfected on November 22, 1998.[19] None of this evidence was refuted.
DAC contends that Trustee failed to value Galbreath'sinterest in the Hutchinson Island property, and that that failure is fatal to Trustee's case. The evidence before the Court, however, shows that Galbreath's Hutchinson Island equity had at least some positive value, perhaps $200,000, but not enough value to place Galbreath in a solvent position.[20] The amount of the encumbrance on the property was less than the original purchase price, and Galbreath testified that in August, 1998, the property was probably worth slightly more than the purchase price. Galbreath was still insolvent as a result of the execution of the 1998 Note.
DAC also argues that Trustee failed to determine whether Galbreath owned other property omitted from the financial statement. As to this point, the solely significant asset in evidence was Galbreath's interest in the Bulloch County Farm.


Capital Corp., 920 F.2d 827, 837 (11th Cir.1991) (internal citations to numerous Georgia cases omitted).
Here, DAC's contention that the corporate veil should be disregarded has no merit. There is no evidence indicating that Galbreath abused the corporate entity.
[24]  See Galbreath's testimony, Tr.194. Joel Spivey denied discussing the bank situation with Galbreath; however, a close proximity of time between Galbreath's receipt of The Coastal Bank's acceleration letter, the Brannen closing, and the execution of the 1998 Note a few days later on August 20, 1998, supports Galbreath's testimony. A similar "coincidence" occurred prior to DAC's perfecting the security deeds. After the IRS filed a lien against GCG on November 22, 1998, DAC filed the security deeds for record two days later, on November 24, 1998.
The Supreme Court on Friday upheld the acquittal of Peepli Live co-director Mahmood Farooqui in a rape case by the Delhi High Court.

The Supreme Court on Friday upheld the acquittal of Peepli Live co-director Mahmood Farooqui in a rape case by the Delhi High Court, after hearing a plea by an American woman challenging the high court verdict.

During the hearing before the apex court, the woman's counsel told the bench that a new argument of alleged consensual relation was advanced by Farooqui's lawyer before the high court and claimed that this issue was not raised before the lower court during the trial.

The bench, however, observed that it was not a case where strangers came, met and did something as both Farooqui and the woman were known to each


asked whether she had said "I love you" to Farooqui in one of the emails after the alleged incident.

"How many rape cases you have gone through where the prosecutrix (woman) has said I love you to the alleged accused much after the alleged incident," the bench asked the counsel and also posed several other queries including how many times the woman had visited Farooqui and had drinks together.

The bench was not satisfied with the answers given by the counsel and dismissed the plea, saying no question of law was involved in the matter.

"We will not interfere with the high court verdict. It is a well-written judgment," PTI quoted the Supreme Court as saying.

In September 2017, the Delhi High Court had acquitted Farooqui, saying he was entitled to benefitof the doubt as the testimony of the victim was not reliable.

Justice Ashutosh Kumar had set aside the trial court order which had awarded a seven-year jail term to Farooqui after convicting him for the alleged rape of a 30-year-old American researcher at his south Delhi residence in March 2015.

The high court, in its 85-page judgment, had directed that Farooqui be released forthwith.

It had held that the woman's testimony was not reliable and the accused can be given the benefit of doubt. "Whether such an incident happened, if it has happened, it did happen with the consent of the prosecutrix. This remains in doubt," the court had said.

Farooqui had challenged his conviction and the sentence given by the trial court.

During arguments, Farooqui's lawyer had denied the allegation of


rape levelled by the woman and had said, "no such incident took place on that day".

His counsel had referred to messages exchanged between his client and the woman before the case was lodged and contended that the two were in a "relationship" since January 2015.

The argument was opposed by Delhi Police's counsel, who had said that rape had taken place and the trial court had given reasons while convicting and sentencing 45-year-old Farooqui.

A trial court on 4 August last year had sent him to jail for seven years, observing that he had taken advantage of the situation when the victim was alone in his house.

The court, which on 30 July, 2016, had held Farooqui guilty of raping the American woman in 2015 in a drunken state, had alsoimposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on him.

The police had on 19 June, 2015, lodged an FIR against Farooqui on the woman's complaint after which he was arrested.

On 29 July, 2015, the police had filed its chargesheet against Farooqui, alleging he had raped the research scholar from Columbia University at his Sukhdev Vihar house in South Delhi on 28 March, 2015.

Yesterday morning we were able to tour the factory to observe the production of the bao fillings from sorting of the vegetables and cutting of the meat right through to packaging for delivery. It was all done in a backdrop of chrome metal by workers clad in white. At first glance you might be tempted to call it futuristic in comparison to the hand-made emphasis of the shops. However, spending a few minutes watching people sort and chop vegetables, stir curry and bean mixtures, and toss the Bok Choy by hand, I could already tell that the dedication to quality I had seen and become a part of in the shops was continued on up the line here in the factory.

The UK, Netherlands, Japan, Russia, France and many other nations have left their marks here with classical architecture, consulates, and financial institutions that still line the water. However, the real show was across the river. The Bund provides a full panoramic view of the heart of Shanghai, featuring the Pudong area, famous for its record breaking sky scrapers, some of which have held the title of tallest building in the world in the recent past. Due to the clouds, I don’t think we ever saw the top of the tallest building, the Shanghai Tower, which is currently the second tallest building in the world at 2,073 ft. However, we did getable to see on the lake was Temple of King Qian. This compound was built during the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1127) as a memorial to Qian Liu, first of the five Qian Kings who used Hangzhou as their capital.

In addition to being a gorgeous example of historical architecture, the Temple of the Qian Kings also had some more recent history about the descendants of the kings, where they lived, and what they have done over the past century. I was frankly more impressed that they managed to keep track of them than what they actually did.

   Salem argues, summarized, that it and other grain ware-
houses in and around southeast Nebraska were injured by
CGB’s entry into the market in Richardson County, because
CGB received special economic privileges. It claims that
the special privileges provided to CGB were the result of
the appellees’ conspiracy to prevent the public, and Salem
specifically, from having knowledge of the economic devel-
opment activities that the city council of Falls City was
providing. It further claims that the appellees participated
in violations of the NOMA in order to obtain those special
privileges.

It is fitting that Naomi Schor’s papers should be the cornerstone of the Pembroke Center’s Feminist Theory Papers collection. After receiving her Ph.D. in French from Yale (1969) and teaching
for eight years at Columbia University, Schor began her long
and productive relationship with Brown in 1978, where she was
an esteemed professor for eleven years and occupied the prestigious
Nancy Duke Lewis Chair from 1985 to 1989. She was actively involved at the Pembroke Center and a founding co-editor of differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies. In addition to more than fifty articles on French literature and feminist theory and several edited volumes including The Essential Difference (Indiana
University Press, 1994) and Flaubert and Postmodernism (University
of Nebraska Press, 1984), Schor authored five books: Zola’s Crowds (The
Johns Hopkins University Press, 1978), Breakingthe Chain: Women, Theory, and French Realist Fiction (Columbia
University Press, 1985), Reading in Detail: Aesthetics and the Feminine (Methuen,
1987), George Sand and Idealism (Columbia University
Press, 1993), and Bad Objects: Essays Popular and Unpopular (Duke
University Press, 1995).

After leaving Brown in 1989, Schor went on to teach at Duke University, Harvard University, and Yale University, where she was the Benjamin F. Barge Professor of French. She was the recipient of numerous honors and awards, including several grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities (1980, 1981, 1990–91) and a Guggenheim Fellowship (1990), and was an elected member of the Academy of Literary Studies (1984) and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1997). At the time of her death in 2001, she was working on a book project on universalism.

LeBron James is showing just how dedicated he is to his new I Promise public school in Ohio even though he's now across the country getting ready to begin a new dynasty with a new team.

The Los Angeles Laker recently filed documents to coin two new mantras at the school, "Habits of Promise" and "I Promise Circles." It's unclear how James is planning on implementing the positive messages, but both are listed as services for "Educating at elementary and middle schools," mainly in the areas of "vocational instruction, mentoring, tutoring, classes, seminars and workshops for individuals with varying learning styles using advanced learning technologies and teaching methods."

James had previously mentioned the schools would feature "support circles" for the children to keep them focused, so it's possible that theFormer Idaho man sentenced for sexual exploitation

A former Idaho man on the run for a decade before pleading guilty to child exploitation charges has been sentenced to eight years in prison.

The U.S. Attorney's Office in a statement on Wednesday says 47-year-old Gerald Lee Ferrell received the sentence in U.S. District Court.

Ferrell in March pleaded guilty to interstate travel with a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity. He also pleaded guilty to possession of sexually explicit images of minors.

Court records say Farrell and his wife hosted a 16-year-old German exchange student in August 2003. Prosecutors say in December 2003, Farrell took the girl to Nevada. She said one night she woke up with Farrell on top of her trying to remove her underwear.


With more Portuguese coaches in this season's UEFA Champions League than from any other nation, and with four facing off against each other on matchday two, UEFA.com takes the opportunity to celebrate the country's men in the dugout. With clubs across five countries led by Portugal's coaching elite, it was inevitable there would be meetings between compatriots – and this week André Villas-Boas tackles Leonardo Jardim while Marco Silva is up against José Mourinho.

Jorge Jesus, SL Benfica

The eldest of the six, Jesus had an arguably modest playing career but has excelled as a coach. After graduating through the lower leagues, he took the Benfica helm in 2009 and has since won two Liga titles and one Portuguese Cup with the Eagles as well as guiding them tothe UEFA Europa League final for the past two seasons. "Portuguese football has a lot of quality, with coaches that have huge tactical and strategic knowledge of the game – which makes them the best in the world," said the 60-year-old.

Paulo Sousa, FC Basel 1893

The most accomplished player among the six, winning the UEFA Champions League twice, the former international midfielder is making his coaching debut in the competition. Having gained experience with the likes of Queens Park Rangers FC, Videoton FC and Maccabi Tel-Aviv FC, the 44-year-old replaced Hakan Yakin at Basel in the summer, enduring the toughest of group stage bows with a trip to Real Madrid CF that ended in a 5-1 loss. He will hope for better when his side host Liverpool FC


on matchday two.

José Mourinho, Chelsea FC

With 100 UEFA Champions League games to his name as a coach, in a competition he has already won twice, Mourinho is the most famous Portuguese boss in history. A sports science graduate, he ended an unspectacular footballing career aged only 24 and a few years later was assisting Sir Bobby Robson at Sporting Clube de Portugal and FC Porto. The now 51-year-old proceeded to lift the European Cup with Porto and FC Internazionale Milano as well as enjoying trophy-laden spells with Chelsea and Madrid. He now encounters Sporting's Marco Silva for the first time.

Marco Silva, Sporting Clube de Portugal

The least experienced Portuguese coach in the tournament, the 37-year-old took his first job four years ago at Estoril Praia, where hehad finished playing. In three years in the dugout he steered the club into the top tier in his first season, followed by UEFA Europa League qualification in the next two. It was enough for Sporting to hand him the reins this term. "Mourinho and Villas-Boas are the most visible faces of the quality of Portuguese coaches," he said. "They had success in Europe and made us want to follow their example. Myself and other young coaches can do that."

Leonardo Jardim, AS Monaco FC

Having begun coaching as a 23-year-old in Madeira, Jardim worked his way up to Liga level before trying his luck abroad. He first tasted UEFA Champions League football in charge of Olympiacos FC, before helping Sporting qualify as league runners-up last season. He now


meets Villas-Boas for the fifth time – an adversary he has toppled only once, a penalties victory in the Portuguese Cup for SC Beira-Mar versus A. Académica de Coimbra. "We have been proving for a few years now that in Portugal there are coaches of great quality," said the 40-year-old.

André Villas-Boas, FC Zenit

Like Mourinho, Villas-Boas was a protege of Sir Bobby Robson at Porto after starting to coach aged 17. He would assist Mourinho at Porto, Chelsea and Inter before striking out on his own. After becoming the youngest coach to win a European competition, with Porto's triumph in the 2011/12 UEFA Europa League, he managed Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur FC before heading to Russia. "We should marvel at the fact we have so many Portuguese coachesin the group stage. I only regret that we cannot all go through, as three of us are in the same group," said the man who has won four of his five past encounters with Jardim.


A women lawyers' body has moved the Supreme Court seeking blocking of all porn websites as it claimed that pornography 'corrupts' the mind.

New Delhi: A women lawyers' body has moved the Supreme Court seeking blocking of all porn websites as it claimed that pornography "corrupts" the mind of the young generation and leads them to commit crime against women and children.

The intervention application filed by the Supreme Court Women Lawyers' Association (SCWLA), which came over a month after the Centre's decision to lift ban on 857 porn sites, sought formulation of a national policy on the issue of pornography, framing of guidelines and initiation of strict measures to curb the growing of issue of child pornography.

"There has been a constant rise of pornography in the country. Pornography corruptsthe mind of the young generation today, who tend to commit crime against women/girls/children. Crime against women has been increasing at a very high rate in the country today," the application said.

The government had on 4 August lifted the ban on porn websites, following widespread criticism on social media.

The Department of Telecommunications in a discreet order on 31 July had asked Internet service providers to block access to 857 websites, citing threat to public morality.

The application filed by SCWLA has sought impleadment as a party in an ongoing petition filed by advocate Kamlesh Vaswani seeking ban on porn sites.

Earlier, after revoking its ban order, the Centre had told the apex court, the state cannot become the moral police and the entire issue needs larger debate. It had, however,


Nintendo's legendary pair of game development teams in its Kyoto office are now one big organization.

In additional information released subsequent to its naming of Tatsumi Kimishima as its next president, Nintendo has provided more clarification on the large-scale" restructuring of the company's business and development teams.

Most notably for game players that follow the company closely, its Entertainment Analysis & Development team and the Software Planning & Development teams, which had long operated as separate organizations within the company, would be merged into a new team called Entertainment Planning & Development.

EAD was founded in 1983 with Shigeru Miyamoto, whose game Donkey Kong had been the company's first huge hit two years prior, at its head. It was known at the time as R&D4—Nintendo's then-president Hiroshi Yamauchi's strategy was toschool system. She was transferred from Cole Harbour District High School, to Dartmouth High School, to Prince Andrew High School to Citadel High School.  It recommended that the Halifax Regional School Board clarify the transfer approval process between schools, in order to stamp out any inconsistencies between policy and practices.  School boards need to share more information when kids transfer schools, as Parsons did to escape harassment.  "The school to which Rehtaeh transferred received no information about these events and did not get to know Rehtaeh well," the report noted.

Segal inquiry
The Parsons case also prompted an external inquiry into the conduct of the Crown Prosecutor's office. This inquiry, which was requested by the Dexter government in August 2013 and released on October 8, 2015, during


the government of Stephen McNeil, was performed by Murray Segal, a former chief prosecutor in Ontario. The report was delayed until legal proceedings involving two men charged with child pornography offences in the case concluded. Segal made 17 recommendations, and found the system "failed" on just about every level; a series of improvements to policies, procedures and actions relating to cyberbullying, sexual violence, investigations and prosecutions was contained in the report, but significantly Segal wrote that it was reasonable of the Crown Prosecutor's office to conclude there was no realistic prospect that sexual assault charges would result in conviction, and thus "the decision not to lay charges of sexual assault was understandable."

Significantly, the Segal report found that school board officials prevented a police investigator from talking to studentsRevenue from video lottery terminals in Nova Scotia is projected to grow by a quarter next year, but the province's gaming corporation doesn't view that jump as an indication of more problem gambling.

The Nova Scotia Provincial Lotteries and Casino Corporation released its financial outlook in Tuesday's provincial budget.

VLT sales in 2015-2016 were estimated at $117,000,000. That number is expected to grow to $144,600,000 in 2016-2017.

"The gaming corporation did indeed have over-budget results in 2015-2016," said Bob MacKinnon, CEO of Nova Scotia Provincial Lotteries and Casino Corporation.

A portion of VLT, ticket lottery and casino sales is paid to the province by the gaming corporation.

Understanding the numbers

MacKinnon says the VLT bump was helped by the absence of My-Play — a card-control system meant to stop non-problem gamblers from becoming addicted


List of lishes

Since the 1930s English has created numerous portmanteau words using the word English as the second element. These refer to varieties of English that are heavily influenced by other languages or that are typical of speakers from a certain country or region. The term can mean a type of English heavily influenced by another language (typically the speaker's L1) in accent, lexis, syntax, etc., or to the practice of code-switching between languages.

In some cases, the word refers to the use of the Latin alphabet to write languages that use a difference script, especially common on computer platforms that only allow Latin input such as online chat, social networks, emails and SMS.

The practice of forming new words in this way has become increasingly popular since the 1990s(*Ammotragus lervia*).

The subject of this case was a member of a herd resident in the Gwangju Uchi Park Zoo in Gwangju City, Korea. The affected herd contained a total of 10 animals, 5 of which had suffered from arthritis and lameness. Two of the affected animals died, and the case specifically described in this study was one of these 2 animals.

The initial examination of the animal revealed that the aforementioned lameness and arthritis was the result of foot rot induced by *Fusobacterium necrophorum*, which was isolated from the lesion site. As the result of this weakness, the animal grew increasingly lethargic, and finally succumbed and perished. The results of the external examination of the carcass clearly indicated emaciation and dehydration. The necropsy examination also revealed a serous atrophy


KITCHENER — A 43-year-old Kitchener man faces a charge of first-degree murder in connection to the death of a 37-year-old Kitchener man who died of a stab wound on Sunday.

Waterloo Regional Police said a fight broke out between the two men inside a townhouse unit at 101 Mooregate Cres., in the area of Victoria Street and Westmount Road, at about 4:45 p.m.

The fight continued outside, where the Kitchener man was stabbed, police said. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Police said the two men knew each other. According to court documents, the man who died is Shamsul Alamshah.

The man charged, Mohamed Younus, appeared briefly in a Kitchener courtroom Monday afternoon.

If the meeting did take place, Tokyo is almost certain to have asked Pyongyang to resume its probe into the fate of Japanese nationals abducted by North Korean agents decades ago.

Junichi Ihara, head of the Foreign Ministry’s Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau, accompanied by Keiichi Ono, chief of the bureau’s Northeast Asia Division, were in the Vietnamese capital on Saturday and Sunday, and a North Korean official was also there last weekend, according to the source.

Room on the Broom

How the cat purred and how the witch grinned, As they sat on their broomstick and flew through the wind. The witch and her cat fly happily over forests, rivers and mountains on their broomstick until a stormy wind blows away the witch's hat, bow and wand. Luckily, they are retrieved by a dog, a bird and a frog, who are all keen for a ride on the broom. It's a case of the mHow the cat purred and how the witch grinned, As they sat on their broomstick and flew through the wind. The witch and her cat fly happily over forests, rivers and mountains on their broomstick until a stormy wind blows away the witch's hat,dramatic, booming, Brian Blessed-esque voice I used for the 'down came the broom' line, around which each verse hinges.

And you can never get them started on fantasy too young - good witches and bad dragons - perfect! We'll get him reading Tolkien before he's ten...

Room on the Broom is an exciting, enchanting story of a good natured witch and her cat that meets new friends along the way, a dog, a bird, a frog and invites them onto her broom. It has a nice rhyming flow to the story which will keep children engaged plus the use of repetition. The pictures are mesmerising and really do bring the story to life. There is very descriptive use of words for the characters in the book, particularly when describing the


(and older ones too, I'm sure) will be familiar with Julia Donaldson, in particular The Gruffalo and The Gruffalo's Child, which - along with Room on the Broom - have been made into animated films that regularly show on the ABC. My son, at three, enjoys the books but finds the movies too scary - he's still young like that.

Room on the Broom is about a witch with "long ginger hair in a braid down her back" and a cat and a broomstick and cauldron. They're flying through the sky, having a peaceful, calm trip, when the wind snatches off her hat. A dog helps her collect it and in return she offers him a ride. Next she loses the bow from her hair, and a green birdeaten by a hungry dragon. Th‘Room on the Broom’ by Julia Donaldson is a beautifully illustrated book that tells the story of a delightful witch who has the misfortune of losing her possessions while on one of her magical flights in a gusty wind. However, on the way she meets various animals who help her as she goes in search of her lost items in return for a spot on her broom. Unfortunately, the witch’s broom breaks in mid air under the weight of its passengers and they face the danger of being eaten by a hungry dragon. This book is suitable for children aged 2-7. It’s written in rhyme and accompanied by a large font which keeps the interest of the child but also allows them to


read along with whoever they chose. The repetition ensures it is accessible for small children and gives them the option of reading along in song or words. After reading the book, children get a sense of the importance of friendship and sticking together. The illustrations are magnificently sharp and colourful and again allow the child to actively take part in the story and question what may or may not happen next.

This fun picture book by Julia Donaldson tells the story of a kind-hearted witch and her loyal cat flying through the night sky, when they bump into many colourful characters during their journey, who end up joining the broomstick. Disaster strikes after a while, when the broomstick snaps in half under the weight of several new passengers collectedsister found this in a Hermanus book shop when she was 3. I read it to her so many times that I could recite it by heart- so could she! I will always love this book, for the amusing rhyme and all the attached memories.

Induction heating can completely change the energy budget of an exoplanet and even melt its interior. In a study published by Nature Astronomy an international team led by the Space Research Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences with participation of the University of Vienna explains how magma oceans can form under the surface of exoplanets as a result of induction heating.

The dust cover 160 is structured by fitting and inserting an end portion of the cover main body 165 to an outer periphery of the short cylinder portion 164a in the flange 164 and connecting them by applying a spot welding to four circumferential portions in the fitted and inserted portion. The flange 164 is made of a thicker steel plate than that of the steel plate of the cover main body 165, thereby ensuring a strength of the flange portion 164b.

say they were at Mr. Kucinich's side that evening have come forward to describe an event which they say left them convinced that there's intelligent life in outer space. "At no time did I feel afraid, even though I felt very small," says ... Paul Costanzo. "I sensed that I was in the presence of a greater technology and intelligence." The close encounter ... took place in September 1982 at Ms. MacLaine's former home in Graham, Wash. [Kucinich] ... lived there for the better part of a year. Also in residence was Mr. Costanzo, a Juilliard-trained trumpet player and jujitsu black belt, who worked as Ms. MacLaine's assistant, personal trainer and bodyguard. Mr. Costanzo's girlfriend at the time ... was visiting when the UFO incident took place. Theday was strange from the start. For hours, Mr. Kucinich, Mr. Costanzo and his companion noticed a high-pitched sound. "There was a sense that something extraordinary was happening all day," says the girlfriend. Mr. Kucinich spotted a light in the distance, to the left of Mount Rainier. What they saw in the far distance, according to both witnesses, was a hovering light, which soon divided into two, and then three. After a few minutes, the lights moved closer and it became apparent that they were actually three charcoal-gray, triangular craft, flying in a tight wedge. The craft approached to within 200 yards, suspended over the field just beyond the swimming pool. Both witnesses say it emitted a quiet, throbbing sound -- nothing like an airplane engine. The craft


held steady in midair, for perhaps a minute, then sped away, Mr. Costanzo says. "Nothing had landed," he says. "No strange beings had disembarked. No obvious messages were beamed down. When they were completely out of sight, we all looked at each other disbelieving what we had seen."

The International Criminal Court isn't discussed much in the presidential campaign, but few issues are more revealing of a candidate's perspective on the United States' legal and political relations with the rest of the world.
The court was established in 2002 to deal with cases of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Headquartered in the Dutch city of The Hague, it was conceived as a permanent successorto the Nuremberg tribunals formed to try Nazi leaders after World War II. It now has 105 members, including virtually all current U.S. allies, but not the United States itself. President Bush has attacked the court relentlessly, saying it could subject Americans to politically motivated prosecutions abroad. He has renounced the 1998 treaty that created the court, pressed other nations to disregard it, and signed legislation - nicknamed the "Hague Invasion Act" by critics - authorizing military action to free any citizen of the United States or an allied nation held for trial by the court. The presidential candidates ... took differing positions in the only congressional vote on the issue, the 2002 legislation allowing military action to free prisoners at The Hague. Clinton and McCain voted for


the bill, as did then-Sen. John Edwards, who now favors U.S. membership in the court. Three other Democrats, Rep. Dennis Kucinich and Sens. Joseph Biden and Chris Dodd, voted against the measure. International law scholars say the candidates' positions are illuminating because the disagreements over the court represent some of the most critical foreign-policy questions in the post-Cold War world - U.S. autonomy and its limits, the role of international law and the multinational bodies that enforce it, and the balance between power and accountability. "The court can be seen as a bellwether of their approach to the rule of law and international institutions," said Michael Scharf, a law professor at Case Western Reserve University.

NASA yesterdaythe data several months ago in response to a request by the Associated Press, saying publication might affect the public's confidence in the airlines. NASA was roundly criticized by members of Congress and aviation safety experts for refusing to publish the survey.

The military's reliance on unmanned aircraft that can watch, hunt and sometimes kill insurgents has soared to more than 500,000 hours in the air, largely in Iraq, The Associated Press has learned. And new Defense Department figures obtained by The AP show that the Air Force more than doubled its monthly use of drones between January and October, forcing it to take pilots out of the air and shift them to remote flying duty to meet part of the demand.

So when Democratic presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich was asked in a recent debate about his belief in unidentified flying objects, the North Texas members of Mutual UFO Network weren't surprised when it turned into a political punch line. On the other hand, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson has also addressed UFOs – seriously – on the campaign trail. And last month, a group of highly credentialed aviation experts from around the world called for more official investigations of UFOs. Getting their cause into the news – and not just as a joke – is welcome to people who have felt pushed to the fringes for a long time. "There is a growing awareness and willingness on the part of the public to take this seriously," said Kencalling for more investigation included a deputy chief of staff from the Belgian Air Force, the retired chief of Accidents and Investigations for the Federal Aviation Administration, a pilot with the Chilean Aviation Army, an Air France captain, a general in the Iranian Air Force and a representative from the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense.

Three Florida fruit-pickers, held captive and brutalised by their employer for more than a year, finally broke free of their bonds by punching their way through the ventilator hatch of the van in which they were imprisoned. Once outside, they dashed for freedom. When they found sanctuary one recent Sunday morning, all bore the marks of heavy beatings to the head and body. One of the pickers had a nasty, untreated knife wound on his arm. Police would learn later that another man had his hands chained behind his back every night to prevent him escaping, leaving his wrists swollen. The migrants were not only forcedthousands of men, women and children – excluded from the protection of America's employment laws and banned from unionising – work their fingers to the bone for rates of pay which have hardly budged in 30 years. Until now, even appeals from the former president Jimmy Carter to help raise the wages of fruit-pickers have gone unheeded. Fruit-pickers, who typically earn about $200 (£100) a week, are part of an unregulated system designed to keep food prices low and the plates of America's overweight families piled high.

When I met 18-year old Patrick Henry Hughes, I knew he was musically talented. I had been told so, had read that he was very able for someone his age and who had been blind and crippled since birth. Patrick's eyes are not functional; his body and legs are stunted. He is in a wheelchair. When we first shook hands, his fingers seemed entirely too thick to be nimble. So when he offered to play the piano for me and his father rolled his wheelchair up to the baby grand, I confess that I thought to myself, "Well, this will be sweet. He has overcomeand trumpet and all that good stuff." This is Patrick's philosophy in life, and he wants people to know it. "I'm the kind of person that's always going to fight till I win," he said. Patrick also attends the University of Louisville and plays trumpet in the marching band. The band director suggested it, and Patrick and his father, Patrick John Hughes, who have faced tougher challenges together, decided "Why not?" "Don't tell us we can't do something," Patrick's father added, with a chuckle. He looks at Patrick with a mixture of love and loyalty and admiration, something not always seen in the eyes of a father when he gazes at his son. "I've told him before. He's my hero."

In recent years, the fast, small, expensive niche has been ruled by Intel's Optane products using their 3D XPoint non-volatile memory. Intel's third generation of Optane Memory SSD caching products has arrived, bringing the promise of Optane performance to a new product segment. The first Optane Memory products were tiny NVMe SSDs intended to accelerate access to larger slower SATA drives, especially mechanical hard drives. Intel is now supporting using Optane Memory SSDs to cache other NVMe SSDs, with an eye toward the combination of Optane and QLC NAND flash. They've put both

Intel's marketing photos of the Optane Memory H10 show it with a two-tone PCB to emphasize the dual nature of the drive, but in reality it's a solid color. The PCB layout is unique with two controllers and three kinds of memory, but it is also obviously reminiscent of the two discrete products it is based on. The QLC NAND half of the drive is closer to the M.2 connector and features the SM2263 controller and one package each of DRAM and NAND. The familiar Silicon Motion test/debug connections are placed at the boundary between the NAND half and the Optane half. That Optane half contains Intel's small Optane controller, a single package of 3D XPoint memory, and most of the power management components.

A sudsy utopia. That’s the phrase that popped into my head as I wheeled my luggage across the patio to the DogHouse, the world’s first and only hotel located inside a brewery. I arrived on a Sunday afternoon this summer. Guests were sipping beer flights on the patio, playing cornhole and giant Jenga by the pond, and watching their canines frolic in the dog park over pints of Elvis Juice, a citrus-forward IPA that’s become a DogHouse signature. At first glance it looks like the Disney World for beer fans. The Hoppiest Place on Earth, if you will.

The DogHouse is run by BrewDog, a multinational brewery and pub chain launched in Ellon, Scotland, in 2007 by James Watt and Martin Dickie. In August 2018, the brand opened BrewDogAMMAN — The biggest sporting gatherings in the world have come to an end as the Summer Olympic Games as well as the Paralympic Games concluded in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with athletes now awaiting the 2020 Games in Tokyo.

Soon after Ahmad Abu Ghaush won Jordan’s first ever Olympic gold medal in taekwondo’s 68kg category, Jordan’s Paralympians returned home on the weekend with three medals in power lifting.

Jordan won two silvers by Tharwat Hajjaj in the 86kg category and Omar Karadeh in the 49kg category, while Jamil Shibli won bronze in the +107kg category. Shibli is a former silver medallist in shot put at the 2008 Beijing Games and the 2004 Athens Games.

The delegation also included the only athlete to ever win a Paralympic gold medal for Jordan


— wheelchair table tennis ace Maha Barghouti who won gold in Sydney 2000, along with Khitam Abu Awad, a former bronze medallist, Osama Abu Jam’eh, a first time qualifier, Bilal Yousef, in athletics, and powerlifters former bronze medallist Mutaz Juneidi, Haidar Kawamleh and Abdul Karim Khattab.

Athletes with disabilities are grouped in classes defined by the degree of function presented by the disability. Traditionally there are athletes who belong to six different disability groups in the Paralympics movement: amputee, cerebral palsy, visual impairment, spinal cord injuries, intellectual disability and a group which includes all those that do not fit into the aforementioned groups.

Ever since first participating in the 1980 Olympics, Jordan’s national anthem was played twice. The first was when Barghouti won a gold medal at the Sydney Paralympicsin 2000 and this year for Abu Gaush in Rio 2016.

Sports for the disabled has gained recognition for Jordan through impressive performances on the international scene. The first time Jordan’s flag was hoisted during an Olympic event was at the 1996 Paralympics in Atlanta when Imad Gharbawi won a silver medal in the discus. The crowning achievement was in Sydney 2000 when Barghouti won Jordan’s first gold medal. Two medals were added in Athens 2004 when Jamil Shibli won silver in the shot put while the women’s table tennis team (Khitam Abu Awad and Fatima Azzam) won bronze (Abu Awad later on won silver at the 2006 World Championship).

In 2008, Jordan’s athletes competed in table tennis, powerlifting and athletics and ended competition with a record four medals, two


silvers and two bronze. Mohammad Qaradeh took silver in power lifting; Shibli, a silver medallist in Athens 2004, added a second silver with a new Paralympic world record in the shot put, Juneidi won a bronze medal in power-lifting and the women’s wheelchair table tennis team won bronze when Fatima Azzam and Khitam Abu Awad repeated their bronze medal win in Athens 2004.

The 2012 Paralympics was the most disappointing participation after the usual winners in table tennis failed to advance past the round of 16 while power lifters were embroiled in controversy amid assault complaints and were returned home.

Sports for the disabled has always been competitive and won multiple medals in Europe and Asia and Barghouti is a name no Jordanian can forget. Her outstanding career and goldwild card system which aims at making sure countries from all corners of the globe are present. Until 2000, table tennis was the only game in the Kingdom whose athletes qualified through competition, through players Tatiana Najjar in Sydney 2000, Nadia Rashad in Barcelona 1992 and Jacqueline Duqum in Seoul 1988. Taekwondo and boxing followed soon after. In 2004, table tennis’ Zeina Sha’ban, equestrian’s Ibrahim Bisharat and taekwondo’s Nadine Dawani and Ibrahim Aqil qualified to the Athens Olympics. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Dawani, Bisharat and Sha’ban again qualified. In 2012, Jordan had Mohammad Abu Libbeh, Nadine Dawani and Raya Hatahet qualifying in Taekwondo, equestrian Bisharat and Ihab Al Matbouli in boxing. In 2016, it was Abu Ghaush in taekwondo and Hussein Ishaish in boxing.

With the Olympics and


Paralympics now over, a reshuffle in sports federations is expected soon as they near their four-year terms, with sports observers calling the right members of federations to lead a better planning and assessment role to put Jordan on the competitive sporting map.

A century ago today, Arthur Eldred was the first young man to earn the Eagle Scout award from the Boy Scouts of America. The 17-year-old had completed his twenty-one merit badges with ease, and passed his board of review—in front of the BSA’s founders, no less—“with ease,” according to The Wall Street Journal’s Michael S. Malone.

In the decades since, the Eagle Scout award has become synonymous with success. It is the highest rank a young man may earn in the BSA, and requires that he hold leadership offices and participate in, design, and ultimately lead major community service programs. The nearly two dozen merit badges required cover a range of competencies, from world citizenship to lifesaving skills to


in the United States, swear to do their “duty to God,” to observe their religious and spiritual principles. In a recent nationwide study performed at Baylor University, researchers Byron R. Johnson and Rodney Stark found that this trait is particularly strong in Eagle Scouts when compared to other scouts or non-scouts.

It is no surprise then that religious organizations would be interested in sponsoring—known as “chartering” in BSA parlance—local Boy Scout units. Of course, there are many different religious traditions observed in the United States, all with different interpretations of “morally straight.” (For this discussion, let’s remember the era in which “straight” was added to the Scout Oath in the United States. In the middle of the 20th century, “straight” meant proper and “gay” meant happy.)
