'Half the room applauded and the other half sat in silence,' Ronstadt recalled. 'I just wanted to say that I was in solidarity with her. I didn't want her to stand up there by herself.'

During his remarks, Pompeo referenced a Ronstadt hit, When Will I Be Loved, saying he wondered when he'd be loved. When it was Ronstadt's turn to speak, the 73-year-old retired singer tartly answered the question and said it would be 'when he stops enabling Donald Trump.'

Since dolphins normally travel together in a group, if one of them is threatened by a shark, the other members of the group will join in to defend the dolphin that is in danger. The dolphin's main weapon is their snout, which is made of very strong and thick bone, and has a hard, rounded end. The dolphins circle the shark very rapidly from different directions, which causes the shark to become confused and unable to chase any one of the dolphins. When a dolphin is positioned below a shark at a distance of several yards, the dolphin will make a suddenly rush at the shark's softer underbelly and ram it with his

DUBAI (Reuters) - Al Qaeda's leader called on Tunisians on Sunday to defend Islamic law from an Islamist party that won elections in the North African country and promised not to impose sharia.

In an audio recording attributed to Ayman al-Zawahri and released on Islamist websites, the Qaeda leader said Tunisia's Islamist Ennahda party, which rules with secular parties, had betrayed itself and the religion.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg signed his final bills into law on Monday, one day before his last in office.

The new laws will require an annual report on poverty in the city, a new database built to track money spent on Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts, measures to bolster emergency preparedness and other measures to reduce toxic emissions from vehicles that deliver trade waste. Bloomberg will also sign a bill that lumps e-cigarettes into the Smoke Free Air Act, meaning the devices are banned everywhere smoking is banned.

The e-cigarette legislation is easily the most controversial bill on the mayor's last slate. The New York City Council recently voted to restrict the devices, but the decision came among a heated debate over whether such a restriction was necessary.

Little isin 2003 when he signed into a law a ban on smoking in bars and restaurants. Eight years later, expanded that to parks and beaches, and last month he raised the city's tobacco-purchasing age to 21.

Football Alliance operated from 1889 to 1892. In 1892 it was decided to formally merge the two leagues, and so the Football League Second Division was formed, consisting mostly of Football Alliance clubs. The existing League clubs, plus three of the strongest Alliance clubs, comprised the Football League First Division.

First International

The first international game was played in Scotland on 30 November 1872. Charles Alcock, who was elected to secretary of the FA at the age of 28, devised the idea of an international competition, inaugurating an annual Scotland-England fixture.  In 1870 and 1871 he placed advertisements in Edinburgh and Glasgow newspapers, requesting players for an international between the two countries.  The only response that he received stated: "devotees of the "association" rules will find no foemen(9) all alone. Andreoff then buried the shot to put the Phantoms in the lead 2-1. The game remained 2-1 as the first period ended with the shots even at nine apiece.

Fans witnessed a crazy play in the second period as the Phantoms were called for a delayed penalty only to see Checkers left-winger Max McCormick make a backhand pass that went in for a goal as the Checkers were pulling goaltender Mike Condon. The goal was given to Maksim Sushko (11), and the Phantoms had a two-goal lead 3-1. The Phantoms remained in the lead 3-1 as the second period ended. The shots were twelve to nine for the Checkers. Each team committed two penalties in the second period. The Phantoms were going into the third period


seconds later when Clark Bishop (11) found Joey Keane (25) for the shot that was tipped in by Max McCormick (15) for a one-goal game 4-3 with three minutes and forty-five seconds left in the third period.

The Checkers pulled goaltender Mike Condon for the extra attacker with less than three minutes left in the game; however, the Phantoms were able to put the game away on an empty-net goal from Connor Bunnaman (6), his second of the game. Morgan Frost (14) and Mark Friedman (23) assisted Bunnaman’s goal as the Phantoms defeated the Charlotte Checkers 5-3. The shots were ten to six for the Checkers. Each team committed two penalties in the third period.

The shots for the game were thirty-two to twenty for the Checkers. The Phantoms wereHas the creative stickhandling and good agility to beat a defender with slick creative moves, but is also willing to go right through them. Really impressive at the World Under 17 Challenge where he scored 5 goals in 5 games for Team Pacific. The first overall pick in the 2011 WHL Draft. A pure goal scorer who can score in tight, but also has an excellent shot with great accuracy and a tremendously quick release that fools goaltenders.

9) Roland McKeown, D, Kingston Frontenacs, 6’1″, 186 lbs

After what was a bit of a down year for the league in 2013, the 2014 OHL crop appears to be extremely strong. McKeown had a really strong first year with Kingston, playing top 4 minutes on a club that was vastly improved


Under 18 Championships, and appearances for the Czech Republic at the 2013 World Juniors, and 2013 Under 18s. Has very good top end speed, but its his elite acceleration and change of pace ability that really sets him apart and allows him to beat defenders one on one. Has good vision and passing skills to be a creative playmaker. His wrist shot is very accurate, and he has an excellent release. Could be a riser this season.

7) Nick Ritchie, LW, Peterborough Petes, (6’2″ 215 lbs)

The brother of Dallas Stars draft pick, and 2013 WJC Team Canada member Brett Ritchie, Nick is finding his own way as a power forward prospect winning gold with Team Canada at the 2013 IIHF Under 18 tournament. Due to shoulder issues, he playedin just 41 games this season, but managed to put up 35 points on an understaffed Peterborough team. A power forward prospect who finishes his checks, and plays a very straight line game, taking the puck right to the front of the net and not caring if he has to go through a defenceman to do it. He has a powerful skating stride, and excellent balance, but could stand to work on his speed as it is just average right now. He loves to stand in front of the net and has the quick, soft hands necessary to score on rebounds and deflections.

Played on Oshawa’s top line, and produced 48 points in 63 games on a deep Generals squad.


quick and accurate pass. He also has a strong and accurate wrist shot, with a very good release, leading to goal scoring ability. Draisaitl is not afraid to take the puck to the net, and has the soft hands to finish when he gets there. Draisaitl has greatly improved his skating since coming to North America, but he will need to continue to work on his first step quickness and his acceleration going forward.

3) Aaron Ekblad, D, Barrie Colts, (6’4″, 215 lbs)

Followed John Tavares as the second 15 year old to be given exceptional status and enter the OHL a year early, Ekblad really matured on the Barrie defence this season, playing top 4 minutes as the team went all the way to the OHL final, only tolose on literally a last second goal, in the third period of game 7. Ekblad has a bullet slap shot from the point, and a strong first pass. He shows a ton of offensive potential. With that in mind right now his best assets are a well developped defensive game, as Ekblad dominates older players physically in his own zone winning board battles and clearing the front of the net. He also has strong positioning and good hockey sense and defensive instincts.

2) William Nylander, C, Sodertalje J20, (5’10” 170 lbs)

The son of former NHLer Michael Nylander, who played for the Washington Capitals, Boston Bruins, Calgary Flames, and New York Rangers, the young Nylander is looking to follow in his father’s footsteps. He has outstanding hands, and incredible stickhandling


was a big time point producer for Kootenay this season, with 85 points in 72 games. He was also Canada’s top line center, and team captain in leading the team to the IIHF Under 18 Gold Medal. In 2011-12, as a 16 year old he had 62 points in 67 games and tied his brother Max for the team goal scoring lead with 28. Reinhart has excellent hockey sense and vision. He seems to know where the puck is going before it gets there and finds the openings in the defence. He has excellent stickhandling and puck protection skills, which when coupled with his good vision and passing make him an excellent playmaker. His shot could be a little harder and should get there as he gains muscle,[Forming of gastro-intestinal nematodes fauna of free ranging European bison in Bialowieza Primeval Forest during last 17 years (1984-2001)].

Hebrews is written to Jewish converts, who, because of persecutions, as well as fear and doubts about their Christian faith, are tempted to revert back to traditional Judaism and its Temple-centered worship. This epistle aims to keep these Jewish Christians in the fold by stressing the failure of the Old Covenant; that the rituals of sacrificing animals has been replaced by the superiority of the New Covenant of Jesus Christ who is the true sacrificial lamb who shed His blood for us. The New Covenant does what the Old Covenant could not do: free us from sin.

Samford earns second tournament title in as many tries

Samford shot 295 in the first round and a third-round mark of 308 to finish regulation in a tie for the lead with Troy at 908.

Both teams officially shared the championship, but Samford rallied to win bragging rights with a victory in the one-hole playoff.

Jacksonville State, the two-time defending champions, finished third with a score of 909.

Individually, Samford was paced by freshmen Alex Jasper, who shot a personal best 222 (70-73-79). On Tuesday,Tonight: Bring a toy, drink for free and help a kid at the Steuben's Toy Drive

Improved perceived health status persists three months after a special sports camp for children with congenital heart disease.
Although summer and sports camps for children with congenital heart disease are organized in many countries and regions, empirical data on the effects of such camps is limited. The aim of the present study was to investigate changes in the perceived health status and habitual physical activities in children attending a special sports camp. In this longitudinal study, 25 children with congenital heart disease who participated in a three-day multi-sports camp were included. The perceived health status was measured using the Child Health Questionnaire-Child Form, CHQ-CF87, completed by the child at the start of the camp (T1), at the end of the camp (T2), and 3 months after the camp concludedblamed for childhood obesity, adult obesity, even dog obesity.

Food distributors Curtze were faced with the challenge of providing web and mobile applications for its customers, which were already available through its industry rivals in their highly competitive market space.

Their specialist division, SalesPro Technologies, desired to preserve their existing investment in COBOL centric business rules while exploiting more modern application interfaces to deliver both agile and interactive solutions to their customers.

Ron DeSantis, spoke out against the decision.

Customs and Border Protection reportedly said on Saturday that it had no plans "at this time" to place migrants in two Democratic, South Florida counties -- Broward and Palm Beach.

Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw responded to the news by indicating that resistance to the decision helped prompt CBP to change its mind.

"Because of everybody's efforts, we are able to stop what had appeared to be a crisis for our community," he said.

ICE TO HIRE CONTRACTOR TO TRANSPORT 225,000 MIGRANTS TO SHELTERS ACROSS THE US

While it's unclear what exactly CBP intended to do, it reportedly said there was a misunderstanding when


it tried to explain "contingency" plans to local officials. Those plans apparently included potentially sending hundreds of migrants each month to those counties.

Fox News has reached out to the White House for comment.

San Diego faced a similar predicament as U.S. officials announced that as many as three flights a week could arrive, carrying hundreds of migrants to the city.

The controversy came as the Trump administration and Congress struggled to house an influx of immigrants who, according to U.S. law, could only remain in federal custody for a limited period of time.

SEN. MARSHA BLACKBURN: EVERY TOWN IS A BORDER TOWN UNTIL WE SECURE THE SOUTHERN BORDER

Back in April, Trump provoked congressional inquiry when he proposed sending migrants to sanctuary cities.

“Due to the fact that Democrats are unwilling to changeour very dangerous immigration laws, we are indeed, as reported, giving strong considerations to placing Illegal Immigrants in Sanctuary Cities only,” Trump tweeted.

But DeSantis, who received notice on Thursday about the potential influx of migrants, suspected the decision didn't come from Trump.

"This was not something that came down from the White House. This was something that came out of the agency. Sometimes this stuff happens. It's gonna ultimately be something I'm going to have to talk to the president about," DeSantis, a major Trump supporter, said during a press conference on Friday.

He said that the decision would "tax our resources, the schools, the health care, law enforcement, state agencies."

DESANTIS: FLORIDA 'CANNOT ACCOMMODATE' INFLUX OF MIGRANTS EXPECTED FOR PROCESSING

Democratic state Sen. Gary Farmer, who represents part of Broward, reportedly


blasted the decision as "blatant politics."

“The blatant politics, sending them to the two most Democratic Counties in the state of Florida, is ridiculous,” he said.

Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., who previously served as the state's governor, asked the administration about the issue but also blamed, via a spokesperson, Democrats for refusing to fix the border crisis.

“There were almost 99,000 apprehensions at the southern border in April, more than double the number of apprehensions in January,” spokesperson Chris Hartline said, according to Politico.

In keeping with the Burning Man tradition, thousands of revellers pitched tents in the desert for five days of art, dance and music, before choosing to burn their exhibits on the last two nights of the festivalIt was at 12pm on Friday that the last British-made typewriter was packed into its box at the Brother factory in Wrexham. Its maker, Edward Bryan, 40, has worked in the factory since 1989. When he started, around 30 people were on the typewriter line. By the end there was just him – the team leader – and another worker. The last CM-1000, an electronic typewriter that retails for around £400, was presented to Rachel Boon, a curator of technologies and engineering at the Science Museum, which will keep the machine. Colleagues gathered around, and the MD of Brother Industries, Craig McCubbin, reminisced about how he had started out on the production line in his school holidays.

"I was a bit sad," says Bryan, who has been building typewriters


really isn't worth doing analytics on it," says Jones when I ask who was still buying typewriters, but he says he thinks many of their customers were older people who don't feel comfortable using a computer. "And they're popular in prisons – it seems they're still one of the approved technological products that prisoners can use in some prisons." He also thinks there may be secret government bunkers, where highly classified missives are written on typewriters, "but that's just speculation". The international company will still produce typewriters in its Malaysia factory, primarily for the US market and developing countries, "but it is the end as far as UK manufacturing is concerned".

As typewriters go, it would be difficult to feel too romantic about the CM-1000 – the large greigeof realities and challenges faced by Black DACA recipients and undocumented immigrants.

“By canceling the program President Trump is yet again pandering to white supremacists over immigrant, Black, and poor communities, as well as millions of organizations, businesses, and allies that support DACA recipients,” Tometi said in a statement.

There are 3.8 million Black immigrants in the United States from the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa and Europe and they comprise about 10 percent of America’s foreign-born population. In New York, Black immigrants make up almost 30 percent of the total Black population in the state, while Florida is second on the list with more than 20 percent

After Attorney General Jeff Sessions' announcement, demonstrations and marches sprung up around the country. Denver students staged a walk-out. Throngs of demonstrators shouted “Shame on Trump" in front of the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. Civil rights leaders were quick to condemn the declaration.

Devi (1963–2001), who became known as the Bandit Queen, was a girl from a low caste (the mallahs) who was mistreated from a very young age, even within her own family. As a result of a family dispute she was married off to an abusive man in his 30s when she was just eleven years old, although she eventually left him. Her cousin had her jailed on trumped up charges when she was 16 and in jail she was raped and beaten by police.

Devi was then either abducted by, or ran away with, a gang of dacoits and married the man who became its leader. In 1981 internal strife within the gang eventually


led to her husband’s murder and to Devi being locked up in the village of Behmai, where a number of local men of a higher caste raped her. She escaped and started her own gang, engaging in robberies and carrying out a massacre of twenty-two men in Behmai, some of whom were involved in the assault on her, although others were not.

The Behmai incident led to an intense man-hunt. Many Indians regarded Devi as just another outlaw, while for others she became a folk hero as a kind of Robin Hood figure. She was celebrated as the incarnation of the Hindu goddesses Durga and Kali by members of low castes, especially other mallah women, and was respected for fighting back against the upper-caste men who had raped herand for stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.

In 1983 Devi, who was by then in poor health and who had lost several members of her gang, finally negotiated with the Indian government to surrender. She imposed a number of conditions, however, including the stipulation that she would not surrender to police — instead she would surrender to an image of Mahatma Gandhi and an image of the goddess Durga. She did so at a public event attended by 10,000 onlookers. Devi went to jail, where she remained until 1994.

In 1996, Devi was elected to the Indian Parliament as a member of the Samajwadi Party. She lost her seat two years later but then regained it in 1999. She was killed in 2001 by by masked


assassins who shot her outside her home.

There are numerous biographies of Devi, including the acclaimed Outlaw by Roy Moxham, who knew her from 1992 until her death. There are at least two autobiographies as well, I, Phoolan Devi, of which she is the sole author, and The Bandit Queen of India, with co-authors Marie-Therese Cuny and Paul Rambali.

Devi is the subject of more than one film, the best known being Bandit Queen (1994) directed by Shekhar Kapur and starring Seema Biswas. In May 2012 the opera Phoolan Devi premiered in the United States.

A Venezuelan opposition envoy has addressed the Organization of the American States (OAS) from the South American country’s seat, the first time it has happened in two decades.

Gustavo Tarre delivered a speech during a session held by the OAS’s Permanent Council on Tuesday, three months after opposition leader Juan Guaido declared himself an interim leader on the basis that President Nicolas Maduro’s 2018 re-election was illegitimate. Maduro accuses the opposition which is backed by the United States of staging a coup.

Ambassadors from at least four Caribbean countries left the room before Tarre spoke, showing their opposition to his recognition as Venezuela’s representative to the OAS.

The OAS voted to recognise Tarre as Venezuela’s official delegate earlier this month, with 18 votes in favour, nine against, six abstentions and oneabsence. The US and most of the OAS‘s 34 member states recognise Guaido as Venezuela‘s interim leader.

At the time, Maduro called the OAS decision a “criminal and rampant violation of international law of the OAS charter”.

Meanwhile, the Venezuelan government on Monday announced two marches to counter the ones Guaido has called for on May 1.

Last week, Guaido called for his supporters to take to the streets on International Workers’ Day for “the largest march in history”.

The duelling protests will be the latest in a series of protests to rock the country this year.

Millions of Venezuelans have left the country in recent years, fleeing hyperinflation, unemployment, violence and food and medicine shortages.


Along with the development of vehicles, not only mechanical devices which used to be the core elements that make up a vehicle, such as an engine, a shaft, and a wheel, but also in-vehicle electronic devices that fine-control the mechanical devices, using an IT technology have been increasingly important. In addition, the number and the complexity of electrical and electronic equipment applied to a vehicle are also increasing.

EGYPT

Intel: Egypt sent two archers to London 2012 – El-Nemr and Nada Kamel. The latter went out in the first round, but El-Nemr – now en-route to his second Olympics – pulled off one of the upsets of the first round. The 57th seed dispatched Canada’s Crispin Duenas, ranked number eight, 6-2. He fell in the second phase, but successfully upset the bracket – and became the first Egyptian archer to win a match at the Games.

Mansour makes her Olympic debut in Rio. She finished second at the African Archery Championships to win Egypt the spot.

KENYA

Intel: Kenya has had two previous archery Olympians. Dominic John Rebolo competed in 2000, and both he and Jennifer Mbuta attended Atlanta in 1996. Shehzana is the reigning AfricanArchery Champion, since winning in Windhoek early in 2016. Neither Rebolo nor Mbuta won a match.

Target:Second round – women

LIBYA

Intel: El Ghrari will become Libya’s first Olympic archer in Rio. The 19-year-old was issued a Tripartite place after finishing 17th at the Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing in 2014. He’s been unable to travel much, due to issues in his country at home.

Target:630+ on ranking round

MALAWI

Intel: Areneo, hand-picked from Coach Sally’s group of young men in Malawi to represent the landlocked African nation in a Tripartite place, is one of five Malawian athletes across three sports travelling to Brazil. Since 1992, the nation has only ever sent athletes for the athletics or swimming competitions.

“I’d like to be a coach. I had a dream I went to Mozambique as an


archery coach,” he said when he arrived in Rio. First, he’s an athlete in Rio. And, sporting a brand-new sponsored bow and an ever-improving technique, hopes are high that he’ll hit the 640+ levels he’s displayed at home in Malawi.

Target:630+ on ranking round

ZIMBABWE

Intel: Now a resident in the United Kingdom, Sutherland is the first Zimbabwean archer to qualify for the Games. One athlete from the nation competed in the event in 1980 and four in 1988 – but that was before the quota qualification system was brought in.

Sutherland was an archer until 1988 before becoming an international cyclist. He began archery again in 2010, qualified for the Games by finishing fifth at the 2016 African Championships, and said – in a video on the Zimbabwean Team’s Facebook page– that he wanted to use the Games to help Zimbabwe “become a stronger competitive nation and, one day, see more African countries shooting at the Olympics and Archery World Cups”.

Target:630+ on ranking round

CONTINENT: AMERICAS

Number of athletes: 25

Number of nations: 9

Number of first-time nations: 1

THE ONE-TO-BEAT

Aida Roman won silver at London 2012. She also took gold at the Archery World Cup Final in 2014 – and won an indoor world title that same year. She’s not taken an individual podium in 2016, but she has the finest Olympic results, alone, of them all in this article.

THE STORY

Brazil. The host nation has been party to a number of years of enthusiastic appreciation for archery, the team’s improvement and growth – and their nation’s hopes for Rio 2016. If Brazil


climbs the podium, archery will take centre stage at this Olympic Games.

THE NATIONS

A nation-by-nation run-down of the continent’s athletes, history and a target, which – if achieved – would mean a really successful archery competition in Rio. Medal count is taken from the modern era, post-1972

BRAZIL

Intel: The host nation of the Olympics. Probably under more pressure than any other team – but also with the largest cohort of support. Rezende’s the only athlete on the six-archer squad with previous Olympic experience, from London, but Oliveira also attended those Games as an observer.

While D’Almeida’s borne the brunt of expectations, thanks to being the silver medallist at the Youth Olympic Games in 2014, it’s in the team events that Brazil probably has its best shot of climbing the podium. TheBrazilian men came fourth at the third stage of the 2016 Hyundai Archery World Cup – and the entire team has come on leaps and bounds ahead of the Games.

Brazil has never won an Olympic medal.

Target:One medal – men or women

CANADA

Intel: The 16th-seed in Beijing and ranked eight in London, Duenas has not made it past the first round at an Olympics. He said he’s more prepared for Rio than the previous two outings and he should go further. Picard’s a Games debutant, at 25, though she’s been shooting internationally since 2008.

Despite being a staple attendee at the Games, Canada has never won a medal in the archery competition.

Target:Top eight – men, second round – women

CHILE

Intel: The only Chilean archer to previously compete at the Games was Denise


van Lamoen, a former World Archery Champion, in 2000 and 2012. Soto is the second competitor from Chile - and the youngest archer on the Sambodromo field come 5 August, at 16 years of age. He’s a Pan Am youth champ – and has scored 663 on the ranking round in 2016.

Target:Second round – men

COLOMBIA

Intel: Colombia last had a women‘s team appear at the Olympics in 2008. That squad included two of the athletes returning in 2016: Rendon and Sanchez. Rendon also made it to the last 16 of those Games, before falling to the USA’s Khatuna Lorig. She returned in Beijing, but lost in the first round. Rio will be her third appearance.

Twenty-five year-old Andres Pila is attending his first Olympics. He’ll look to do better thanDaniel Pineda, who shot in London and lost in the first round.

Target:Top eight – women, second round – men

CUBA

Intel: Taking the mantle from Cuban international Juan Carlos Stevens, who competed in 2012 and 2008, Puentes has reasonably large shoes to fill. Stevens made the quarterfinals in Beijing, losing only to Park Kyung-Mo, the individual silver medallist at that event. Puentes, 28, won gold at the Pan Am Games in Rio in 2007!

Target:Third round – men

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

Intel: The first archer from the Dominican Republic to qualify and attend the Olympic Games, Camilo has already taken a large step for the sport in her nation. She was one of a number of women on the island nation training for qualification – and finished fourth in the America’s continental qualifying tournament.

MEXICO

Intel:


At London 2012, Mexico picked up its first Olympic medals. Aida Roman won silver, Mariana Avitia took bronze. Roman is back for Rio. (Avitia is commentating for Latin American television.)

Boardman beat out Beijing fourth-place-finisher JR Serrano for the Rio spot. Boardman’s shot 677 in qualifying in 2016 – and won the Americas continental qualifier for Rio (ahead of his two Mexican compatriots).

Target:One medal – women, top eight – men

USA

Intel: The States men are reigning silver medallists in the team competition. And two of that London 2012 podium-climbing team return in Ellison and Kaminski. Garrett’s the newby to the USA squad – but was threatening Ellison’s top spot on the team in scores, until the latter posted the third-highest qualifying score (697) in world-level history in Shanghai, early in2016.

The pedigree is there.

Target: One medal – men, top eight – women

VENEZUELA

Intel: Both Malave and Brito competed at London 2012 – neither won a match – and Brito was in Beijing, too. She upset her first-round opponent but lost to Khatuna Narimanidze, the fourth seed, in the second phase. Both will want to do better.

(Malave has more than enough potential, and experience. He finished fourth at the World Archery Championships in 2015.

Target:Second round – men, third round – women

CONTINENT: ASIA

Number of athletes: 43

Number of nations: 16

Number of first-time nations: 1

THE ONE-TO-BEAT

Korea, of course. Specifically, the recurve women’s team. Since the team event was introduced in 1988, at Korea’s home Games in Seoul, the Korean recurve women have won every single available gold medal. In Rio, they’ll go for


an eighth in a row. They are, literally, unbeaten.

THE STORY

London 2012 Paralympic Champion Zahra Nemati plans to do the double at Rio 2016, and compete at both the Olympic and Paralympic Games. She was announced as Iran’s flagbearer at the Olympic opening ceremony early on in the process.

The first Paralympian to compete at the Olympic was New Zealand’s Neroli Fairhall, who was a Paralympic runner and archer in 1980, and then attended the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics as an archer, too.

THE NATIONS

A nation-by-nation run-down of the continent’s athletes, history and a target, which – if achieved – would mean a really successful archery competition in Rio. Medal count is taken from the modern era, post-1972

INDIA

Intel: The Indian women’s team, perpetually undervalued by the nation’s media, is ranked numberthree in the world arriving in London. Kumari, the darling of the squad since winning double-gold at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi in 2010, is at her second Olympics in Rio. (Laishram is at her third.)

Kumari seeded eighth in London before being upset in the first round.

The Indian man at the 2016 Olympics is Atanu Das, who found his way into his first individual senior finals match at the third stage of the 2016 Hyundai Archery World Cup in Antalya. He took Kim Woojin to a tight shoot-off, but ultimately lost.

Das beat out veterans Mangal Singh Champia (Olympian in 2008) and Jayanta Talukdar (Olympian in 2012) for a ticket to his Olympic debut.

Target: One medal

IRAN

Intel: The London 2012 Paralympic Champion will compete at both the Olympics and Paralympics


in 2016. She qualified her ticket to the Olympics in Rio outright, at the Asian Championships, before adding the Paralympic place straight afterwards.

No Iranian archer – there has been four – has ever won a match at the Olympics.

Target: Second round – women

JAPAN

Intel: Furukawa is the defending silver medallist at the Olympics – and Kawanaka was part of the women’s team that came third in London. Nagamine and Hayashi are new to the Games – and will have to level up to reach the podium again.

Before 2012, Japan had only one Olympic medallist: Hiroshi Yamamoto, who won bronze in 1984 and took silver in 2004, 20 years later.

KOREA

Intel: Korea is, without any doubt, the most successful nation in the archery competition’s history at the Olympic Games. As eachOlympiad passes, the Korean women remain unbeaten in the team event – and this group have said that they consider taking an eighth consecutive team gold more important than their individual performances.

Oh Jin Hyek broke the spell over the Korean men in 2012, becoming the first from the nation to hold the title of individual Olympic Champion – but he didn’t make the team in 2016.

Ki Bo Bae, if she takes gold in Rio, would become the first archer ever to successfully defend an Olympic title (and only the second to win it twice).

NEPAL

Intel: The first Olympic archery experience for the nation of Nepal, as Muktan travels to Brazil as part of a seven-athlete squad after receiving a Tripartite invitation. He has two top-20 finishes at Asian Games


on his record, in 2010 and 2014 – and posted 642 in qualifying at the Asian Championships.

CHINESE TAIPEI

Intel: The Chinese Taipei men’s team is a new line-up, when compared to London 2012. The women’s squad, though, is exactly the same.

One of the enigmas of international archery over the past few years, Tan Ya-Ting, Lin Shih-Chia and Le Chien-Ying have flashed brilliance. Between them, four years ago, they won four matches – with Tan Ya Ting making the last 16.

If all breaks right in Rio, all three could go further than that. But Chinese Taipei has never won an Olympic archery medal.

Target: One medal

CONTINENT: EUROPE

Number of athletes: 46

Number of nations: 22

Number of first-time nations: 2

THE ONE-TO-BEAT

The most decorated European Olympian on the Rio roster is Marco Galiazzo. Attending hisfourth Games, the Italian man already has three medals: Individual gold from 2004, team gold from 2012 and team silver from ’08.

THE STORY

Europe is in the middle of a changing of the guard. It has the most experienced Olympians on the field in Psarra (five Games), Galazzio, Folkard, Esebua and Narimanidze (all four) – and some of the youngest athletes.

Is this a last dance for some of the veterans, before a full refresh completes in 2020?

THE NATIONS

A nation-by-nation run-down of the continent’s athletes, history and a target, which – if achieved – would mean a really successful archery competition in Rio. Medal count is taken from the modern era, post-1972.

AUSTRIA

Intel: Austria’s first ever archer qualified to a Games – though athletes competed in the event prior to the


quota system being brought in. Baldauff won her spot at one of the first opportunities, in the secondary tournament at the worlds in Copenhagen.

Although she started archery in 1990, she didn’t represent her country until 2012.

Target: Second round – women

BELGIUM

Intel: A youth world champion in 2013, in Wuxi, China, Ramaekers is Belgium’s first archery Olympian since 2000.

Paul Vermeiren, who competed in 1996, ’92 and ’88, finished fourth in Antalya. He was the second Belgian archer to finish fourth at a Games, after Robert Cogniaux in 1972, and has reportedly wished Ramaekers luck by saying: “I hope you do just a little better than me”.

Target: Top eight – men

BELARUS

Intel: Round two for Prilepov, who finished ninth in Athens in 2004. He finished third at the European Games in 2015.

Belarusis a staple in the archery competition at the Games – and has sent at least one representative to each since 1996. The first year was the closest to the medal for the nation – as Olga Yakousheva finished fifth.

FRANCE

Intel: France was one of the nations missing from the Olympic roster as the 2016 qualification process played out. With ’92 Olympic Champion Seb Flute mentoring the young team, they dug deep to secure a team invitation at the final world qualification tournament.

Valladont, a severely-committed individual when on the shooting line, muscled his way to a European title in 2016.

Target: Top four – men

GREAT BRITAIN

Intel: At 2012, the Brits – the host team – received a full six-athlete quota. For Rio, the nation had to qualify. Until the Europeans,


podium finishes have come via a women’s team, too.

Unruh and Floto will have to go it alone.

The former has the stronger pedigree. She’s the reigning world champion in both indoor and field disciplines.

Target: Top eight – women, third round – men

GREECE

Intel: The most experienced of all the Olympians on the Rio 2016 field, Psarra competes at her fifth in Rio de Janeiro – she’s been to each Games since 2000. Her best finish came on home soil in 2004, when she was knocked out by the eventual gold medallist in the last eight – and took seventh overall.

Target: Third round – women

ITALY

Intel: The only European nation with a full six-athlete roster at Rio 2016, Italy won quota spots for both squads in style. The men’s place was wonafter a run of close shoot-offs at the first qualifier and the women’s, after a run of close matches, at the last.

Italy is the defending men’s team Olympic Champion – and two members of that gold-medal-winning squad return from London: Athens 2004 individual champ Galiazzo and Nespoli.

Pasqualucci is the Olympic rookie – and he replaces Michele Frangilli, who pulled out the last-arrow 10 to win the London 2012 gold.

NORWAY

Intel: Quietly racking up a third Olympic appearance, after 2000 and 2012, Baard’s best finish came at the latter. He was ninth, losing to eventual silver medallist Furukawa Takaharu in the third round.

SLOVAKIA

Intel: The second of the first-timers on the European board, Slovakia qualified two athletes in Longova, 22 years old, and 18-year-old Balaz. Both are wildcards, at ranks of


57 and 202 in the world, respectively.

Balaz was at the Youth Olympics in Nanjing in 2014.

Target: Second round – men, second round – women

SWEDEN

Intel: A two-time Olympian when she arrives in Rio, Bjerendal shoots with an unconventional style, taken from barebow technique, where she puts all three of her fingers underneath the arrow. She finished 33rd in London.

Both Christine’s father, Goran, and uncle, Gert, were also Olympic archers.

Sweden’s Olympic silver medallists were both men: Gunnar Jervill in 1972 and Magnus Petersson in 1996.

TURKEY

Intel: Turkey has sent archers to the Games since 1984. The nation’s best result came courtesy Elif Altinkaynak, who finished fourth at Atlanta 1996.

Anagoz and Gazoz might be Turkey’s best chance of a high finish since then.

Gazoz was runner-up at the European Archery Championships in 2016,was a Youth Olympic in 2014 and shot a career-high 678 in the lead-up to the Olympics. Anagoz is ranked 54th in the world, won the European continental qualifier – and in world ranking competition, has never lost a match if it’s gone to a tiebreaker.

The best bit about this pair is that – since both are just 17 years old – Rio is unlikely to be their last Games.

UKRAINE

Intel: Veteran coach Viktor Sidoruk has one last shot at getting the women’s medal he needs to complete his collection – with a team that’s fresh off a European title win.

The only proven gold-medal winner on the squad, though, is Beijing 2008 Olympic Champion Viktor Ruban, in Rio for his fourth Games in a row. (He also has a


but consists of three archers who have all had individual success.

Ingley would need to make the second round to be the most successful Australian female Olympic archer since 2004. To be the nation’s best-ever, she’d need to threaten Terene Donovan’s ninth spot, achieved back in 1972.

FIJI

Intel: A three-time Olympian with Rio on the books, Elder finished 48th in 2004 and lost in the first round in 2012. But he did put up one of the most memorable fights of the tournament in London.

Shooting against second-seed Kim Bubmin, Elder was 4-0 down before clawing back to level, at 4-4. He needed a 10 to win with his final arrow – and the British crowd (which loves an underdog) was behind him – but he could only manage a six.Complexin writes, "Drew, of daily webcomic 'Toothpaste for Dinner' and 'Married to the Sea,' among other sites, seems in danger of going offline.

Scientists find that rising temperatures are dramatically skewing sex ratios of a 200,000-strong Australian colony of endangered green sea turtles, threatening the animals’ survival.

The beaches and crystalline waters of the northern Great Barrier Reef are swarming with female green sea turtles. And that’s a big problem in paradise.

In one of the world’s largest sea turtle colonies, home to some 200,000 endangered animals, there are almost no young males. More than 99 percent of the turtles born on the reef’s northern beaches since the late 1990s have been female – the alarming outcome of rising global temperatures, according to a groundbreaking study published Monday, January 8, in the journal Current Biology.

Ambient temperatures influence the gender of a sea turtle during the incubation period in the egg. Cooler environments producethe researchers were afforded a broad view of the population and its different age classes.

What they saw was startling. About two-thirds of the turtles from the southern population were female – roughly the average natural sex ratio for the species, Allen and Jensen said.

But of the turtles linked to warmer northern nesting beaches – especially Raine Island, where nearly 200,000 females return to lay their eggs – few to none were male. Of the adult animals, 86 percent were females. Among juvenile and subadult turtles ranging from 4 to 23 years of age, more than 99 percent were female. The scientists noted that the increasing ratio of females to males has tracked a rise in temperatures in the region, linking climate change to the phenomenon.

“Virtually no male turtles


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is quietly pursuing direct diplomacy with North Korea, a senior State Department official said on Tuesday, despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s public assertion that such talks are a waste of time.

Using the so-called “New York channel,” Joseph Yun, U.S. negotiator with North Korea, has been in contact with diplomats at Pyongyang’s United Nations mission, the official said, at a time when an exchange of bellicose insults between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has fueled fears of military conflict.

While U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Oct. 17 said he would continue “diplomatic efforts ... until the first bomb drops,” the official’s comments were the clearest sign the United States was directly discussing issues beyond the release of American prisoners,however, to address whether authority had been given to discuss North Korea’s nuclear and missile program.

In Beijing, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said China welcomed any dialogue between the United States and North Korea.

“We encourage North Korea and the United States to carry out engagement and dialogue,” Hua told reporters, adding that she hoped talks could help return the issue to a diplomatic track for resolution.

SANCTIONS AND ENGAGEMENT

NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg has urged all United Nations members to fully and transparently implement sanctions against North Korea, which he said has emerged as a global threat.

Speaking at the United Nations on Sept. 19, Trump vowed to “totally destroy” North Korea if it threatened the United States or its allies, raising anxieties about the possibility of military conflict.

Twelve days later,


Thae Yong Ho, chief of mission at Pyongyang’s embassy in London until he defected in 2016, told the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

The New York channel is one of the few conduits the United States has for communicating with North Korea, which has itself made clear it has little interest in serious talks before it develops a nuclear-tipped missile capable of hitting the continental United States.

The last high-level contact between Yun and the North Koreans was when he traveled to North Korea in June to secure the release of Warmbier, who died shortly after he returned home in a coma, the State Department official said.

The Trump administration has demanded North Korea release three other U.S. citizens: missionary Kim Dong Chul and academics Tony Kim and Kim Hak2013 and 2015, respectively, both in electrical engineering.

4. Da'Shawn Hand, DL, second season

Hand was Pro Football Focus' top graded rookie interior lineman last season. He recorded 20 quarterback hurries, but played in just 56.7 percent of the defensive snaps as part of the rotation of players upfront.

He notched 27 tackles, four tackles for loss and forced a couple fumbles. Hand has the skillset, work ethic and unrelenting motor that puts him in the window for having a breakout season in 2019 as he's expected to see more action. He's a versatile player that can move up and down the line. He came in and had an immediate impact as a rookie. It should be fun to watch his maturation in his second season.

Hand has really taken on a leadership role this spring and has beena mentor to the young defensive linemen. After every open OTA or minicamp practice this spring, Hand could be seen working with the young guys on fundamentals and techniques. Ricky Jean Francois did the same thing for him last year when he was a rookie, so it's good to see Hand pay it forward to this crop of first-year players. It just shows how unselfish and team-oriented he is.

5. Frank Ragnow, C, second season

Ragnow, last year's first-round pick, will be the first to admit he had an up and down rookie season playing guard. His athleticism and power were evident, but he also struggled at times matching up with some of the quicker and more explosive defensive tackles in the league in one-on-one situations.

He's moved back to his


more natural center spot this spring and is likely to play there in the fall. He was the best center in college football for his last two years at Arkansas. He said he likes being back at the position, making the calls and setting up the protections.

His power should hold up well when facing bigger nose tackles. He skillset also seems to be a good fit at center for some of the double team and tandem blocks he'll be asked to deploy, along with being able to get to the second level to cut off linebackers. Ragnow is smart, and when left uncovered, he'll be asked to pick up any player that comes free on stunts or blitzes. That's something he's used to doing having played more centerget to their jobs, their schools and their homes."

The Metropolitan Transit Authority tweeted throughout Saturday as it restored subway lines in the city. Full service has returned to the 4, 5, 6 and 7 trains, linking Manhattan to Brooklyn and Queens via subway for the first time since trains were suspended Sunday evening.

With Manhattan-Brooklyn subways out of service, commuters waited in long lines to take shuttle buses across the East River to work.

Senate Approves Takeover of Rivers Assembly’s Functions

The Senate Thursday resolved to take over the functions of the Rivers State House of Assembly in consonance with the earlier resolution of the House of Representatives in accordance with Section 11 (4) of the 1999 Constitution, until peace is restored to the crisis-ridden state.

It also confirmed the appointments of eight ambassadorial nominees whose names were sent to it by President Goodluck Jonathan.

Section 11 (4) of the constitution states: “At any time when any House of Assembly of a state is unable to perform its functions by reason of the situation prevailing in that state, the National Assembly may make such laws for the peace, order and good government of that state with respect to matters on which a House of Assemblymay make laws as may appear to the National Assembly to be necessary or expedient until such time as the House of Assembly is able to resume its functions; and any such laws enacted by the National Assembly pursuant to this section shall have the effect as if they were laws enacted by the House of Assembly of the state.”

The House of Representatives had on July 10, a day after the fracas in the Rivers State assembly, passed a resolution to take over the functions of the state legislature.
With the Senate’s concurrence yesterday, the National Assembly would thenceforth assume all the functions of the state legislature.
The crisis in the state reached a head recently when five members of the state House of Assembly opposed to the Governor, Mr.


Chibuike Amaechi, attempted to remove the Speaker, Hon. Otelemaba Amachree, to pave the way for the eventual removal of the governor. Twenty seven lawmakers in the 32-member legislature are in Amaechi’s camp.

Human rights activist and civil society organisations are also planning to converge on Port Harcourt to protest the politically motivated violence and other anti-democratic norms in the state.

The protest, tagged, ‘One-day Global Action in Defence of Democracy in Rivers State,’ scheduled for next Tuesday, would be addressed by frontline human rights activists, Mr. Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), and Femi Falana (SAN).

The Senate resolution on the takeover of the Rivers State legislature Thursday followed the adoption of the report of the Committee on State and Local Government, chaired by Senator Kabiru Gaya (Kano South), which investigated the crisis inthe state.

The parliament also asked the Inspector General of Police (IG), Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, to as a matter of urgency redeploy the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu, because of irreconcilable differences between him and Amaechi.

The Senate also resolved that its President, David Mark, should mediate in the crisis by reconciling the principal actors with a view to ensuring that peace returns to Rivers State.

It tasked the three senators from the state to liaise with all warring factions in the state with a view to resolving the crisis, which it said had grave implications for democracy.

While presenting the report to the Senate yesterday, Gaya said the protracted crisis was the fallout of a deep-rooted political crisis caused by the alleged highhandedness of Amaechi, which he said


was aggravated by the interference of both the president and his wife, Patience.

He further said the committee found that the crisis was fuelled by the insistence of Amaechi to run for a second term as the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), a situation it said did not go down well with his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and the presidency.
The report also said the judgment of an Abuja High Court, which dissolved the Rivers State PDP executive committee led by Chief Godswill Ake and ordered Ake’s replacement with Felix Obuah as the authentic winner of 2012 congress of the party in the state did not go down well with some members of the party who believed that the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the case.

Gayasaid the committee also found that Mbu took over the party secretariat in the state and withdrew the security aides of Ake, adding that the suspension of Obio/Akpor Local Government on April 22, 2013 by the House of Assembly provoked anger in supporters of the suspended members of the council executive as well as the Minister of State for Education, Nyesom Wike.

After the resolution, Mark talked tough, asking those attempting to remove Amachree with just five legislators to perish the thought, as the era of impunity when such shenanigans took place was over.

Mark, who also said the National Assembly would do all within its power to defend the constitution, explained that the report did not indict anybody but rather aimed at ending the crisis.

trammel has a needle point and an ivory handle. The other has an adjustable pen point. Nuts inside the trammels around the screw on the beam set the positions of the trammels. The instrument is supposed to draw lines, circles, concentric circles, and spirals.

Three paper tags are attached to the frame with a red ribbon. The first tag is marked: 1873 (/) M. Toulmin (/) Beam Drafting Compass (/) Received June 5 (/) Passed Aug 5./7. The second tag is marked: 142,823 (/) 3 (/) M. Toulmin (/) Beam Compasses (/) Patented SEP 16 1873 (/) Dividers 1873. A printed picture of the instrument and a summary of the patent application are pasted to the back of this tag. The third tag is marked: (2–225.) (/) No. 142,823.(/) M. Toulmin (/) Beam Compasses (/) Patented Sept. 16th (/) Dividers 1873. This model was found in the Smithsonian, probably during refurbishing of the textile exhibits between 1953 and 1964.

The patentee was probably Joshua Morton S. Toulmin (1823–1896), who was born in Alabama to English immigrants. He was a cotton broker in Mobile in the 1850s and then moved to New Orleans, where he received four patents between 1872 and 1874, including the 1873 patent for this object and "Improvement in Marine Camels" (no. 125,352, issued April 2, 1872). He then became a patent agent in Washington, D.C., and received several more patents himself between 1876 and 1887. He then moved to Baltimore, where he established the short-lived Toulmin Electric Railway Gate Company in 1886 and received


more patents between 1887 and 1890, including "Pneumatic Street Car Propulsion" (no. 440,666, issued November 18, 1890). He held a total of about 15 patents for a variety of mechanical and mercantile devices, but this beam compass was apparently never manufactured commercially. Toulmin's son, Harry Aubrey Toulmin (1858–1942), was the highly successful attorney for the Wright Brothers of Dayton, Ohio.

Beam compasses were used to draw circles of large radius by positioning the sliding pieces on a wooden lath. This German silver instrument, also called a draftsman’s trammel, has a smaller sliding piece with a pencil point that may be exchanged for the pen point holder also contained in the case. The smaller sliding piece is engraved with the Kern logo, a K inside a pair of dividers. Theinterested in the Peruvian quipu. He donated his collection of early calculating machines to the Smithsonian and his early American textbooks to the University of Michigan.

This German silver instrument has two trammels, one with a reversible needle point and micrometer, and one with a holder for a pencil lead. The pencil holder may be replaced with an adjustable pen point. A rectangular wooden case is covered with morocco leather and lined with green silk and green velvet. The top of the case is marked: CE27RD. An indentation in the case indicates a piece is missing, possibly a container of pencil leads. Compare to 1978.2110.03.

The instrument resembles a beam compass sold by Dietzgen in two different grades from at least 1904 to 1934, first as model numbers 646C ($10.70)


mathematical instruments, advertised the model 967A "Champion" brand beam compass and case in the late 1930s for $8.50. Dietzgen may have purchased instruments in the Champion line from Bayerische Reisszeugfabrik, a company in Nuremberg, Germany, that was owned by Joseph Dietzgen and made ECOBRA brand slide rules. See 1984.1071.04.

This instrument has two very tarnished flat metal bars, each 22 cm long, with tapered ends that interlock to make a beam of 40.9 cm. The two steel sliding trammels resemble pencils and are marked: T.A. & SONS. The longer trammel has a needle point, and the shorter has a pencil point. The shorter trammel has a cam wheel that allows adjustment up to 3/16". Spring tension in both trammels may be adjusted by turning a knurled nut.

John Wesley Oehrli(1903–1969), an engineer and inventor who lived in State College, Pa., applied for a patent on this beam compass in 1944. He moved to Southern California by 1953, where he worked for McCulloch Motors Corporation, and received a total of 11 patents, mainly for chain saws and planetary drives in internal combustion engines. Theodore Alteneder & Sons sold the "improved tubular beam compass" as model number 1666 from 1945 through at least 1952 for $16.50. This object originally would have had a case.

By September 1st 2009 the DOW was back to above 9,000 at 9,310 but still below the November 4th stock market average. During this time period the stock market never reached a new stock market high. As a matter of fact, the Obama markets didn’t reach a new all time high during Obama’s entire

Unemployment

Also according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics President Trump decreased unemployment since his inauguration (January through August 2017). The unemployment rate in January 2017 was 4.8% and by August it was down to 4.4% . It has never been higher than the starting rate of 4.8% .

President Obama on the other hand again moved in the opposite and negative direction. In his first eight months as President the US unemployment rate increased nearly each month from 7.8% in January 2009 to 9.6% by August of 2009.

Housing Sales

Housing sales are red-hot in the US right now. In 2011, houses for sale were on the market an average 84 days. This year, it’s just 45 days.

According to the US Census Bureau, there were nearly twice asmany US housing sales in the past couple of months as there were under President Obama in 2009 during the same time period. (The annualized housing sales rate for July 2017 is reported at 571,000 where in 2009 this amount was only 411,000.)

Economic Outlook

Under President Trump the second quarter annual GDP growth rate nearly doubled the rate from the President’s first quarter. Also, according the BEA, the US GDP surpassed $19 Trillion for the first time in US history under President Trump.

President Obama is the only President not to reach a 3% GDP Growth rate during his Presidency.

The US Manufacturing Index soared to a 33 year high in February 2017 shortly after President Trump was sworn into office. The index reached 43 in February which was the best


outlook since 1983 under President Reagan and has been in double digits ever since.

In Obama’s first five months in office (January through August of 2009) the best manufacturing index activity rating was 8 in August 2009 with most months being negative double digits.

Fed Funds Rate Increases

The Federal Reserve has increased interest rates three times since President Trump was elected into office in November. The Fed increased interest rates only once in Obama’s 8 Years prior to the increase in December.

No Fed Funds Rate increases took place between June 2006 and December 2015. CNBC reported in December 2015 that President Obama oversaw “seven years of the most accommodative monetary policy in U.S. history” (from the Fed). But still the Obama economy due to numerous job killing initiatives pales whenTrump the billionaire businessman crushes the former community organizer Barack Obama in every meaningful measurement. President Trump is enjoying massive success while the severely unqualified and nearly incompetent President Obama forced America through some of its worst years in history.

As of mid-April, an estimated 30,000 American restaurants had closed for good and more than 110,000 were expected to close down by the end of the month, according to estimates from the National Restaurant Association. And chain restaurants are not immune from these closures. Some of the classic chain restaurants had already been facing tough times amid stiff competition from newer fast-casual restaurants, shuttering underperforming locations every year to cut their losses — and the coronavirus pandemic has only made their financial future less certain. For some chains, it could just be a matter of time before there are no locations left.

seven years after the first lacklustre sequel, this pointless third instalment has been singled out by many as the all-time low point in Murphy's career.

He's Foley, but not as we know him. Murphy's enthusiasm for the part seems to have been completely drained as he makes his way around a Disney-esque theme park hunting down an unconvincing bad guy (Timothy Carhart) with the increasingly tiresome assistance of Judge Reinhold.

He's back in Bev Hills after witnessing the shooting of long-standing boss Inspector Todd (Gilbert R. Hill, with the swearies strangely toned down this time), and being led by some glaringly obvious clues to “Wonder World” (the bad guys left behind a hotel towel with the “Wonder World” logo splattered across it).

Newly-promoted chum Billy Rosewood (Reinhold) provides the back-up asusual, but this time his partner Taggart (John Ashton) is nowhere to be seen. Neither is Chief Bogomil (Ronny Cox) who, despite being portrayed as a sudden bosom buddy of Foley in the first sequel, isn't even mentioned this time around.

The comedy moments, though rare, are better than in the second movie  particularly the return of Serge (Bronson Pinchot) from the first movie (this time running a weapons boutique) and Foley's attempts to utilize the world's most complicated machine gun. But director John Landis drifts through the proceedings at the pace of an injured sloth, rendering bad action scenes even worse and all but wiping out any chance of a snappy comedy to rival Martin Brest's original.

John McDonnell: George Osborne has failed on economic targets and lost credibilityIBTimes UK

Britain's Shadow Chancellor, John McDonnell accused the Chancellor of the Exchequer of "creative accountancy" on 16 March, after George Osborne said he would miss his own target of bringing down public debt this year, but can still turn the deficit into a surplus by 2020.

"Every time he has set himself a target he's missed it and at the moment, as we can see, he's going to be missing future targets as well, because what he's doing is an element of creative accountancy each year now, to ensure that he can at least demonstrate that there may be some sort of long term prospect of meeting


his overall targets," said McDonnell reacting to the latest Budget. "I think his credibility now as an economic manager is actually shot through altogether," he added.

Osborne, whose chances of becoming prime minister are tied to the fortunes of the economy, also announced sharply lower growth forecasts, blaming it on the slowdown in the global economy and weak productivity growth at home. Britain's economy was on track to grow by only 2% this year, much slower than the 2.4% predicted in November, and by 2.2% in 2017, down from November's 2.5% estimate.

Pesticides and herbicides creating loss of habitat for breeding are major contributors. In the past 20 years, the North American population of monarchs has decreased by 90 percent, down from a population of approximately 1 billion in 1996-97, to a population of approximately 33 million in 2013-14.

Most researchers feel the loss of winter habitat due to illegal logging is the biggest threat to species survival. The monarch is the only butterfly known to make a two-way migration each year. They migrate every fall and overwinter in the Sierra Madre mountains of Mexico. Unlike other butterflies that can overwinter as larvae, pupae or even as adults in some species, monarchs cannot survive the cold winters of northern climates.
