the priestly family in particular that were exemplary in their zealousness for the honor of God. Thus it was the priestly family of the Hasmonaim – the famous “Maccabees” – who led the revolt against foreign idolatrous influence and rededicated the Holy Temple, events marked by the holiday of Chanukah.

The daily blessing of the priests in the Temple serves to open the Heavenly gates of mercy. Through it, the people of Israel merit not only material well-being – including offspring and longevity – but spiritual blessings as well; mercy, Divine protection and the greatest blessing of all… true peace. Since the priests themselves represent the attribute of kindness, their service brings the flow of God’s blessing down to His people.

General Rules of Priestly Conduct

The priest must be holyof the Ark to Zion, and Solomon, at the dedication of the Temple of Jerusalem, ministered as priests (II Sam. vi. 14, 17, 18;. I Kings viii. 22, 54 el seq.); the latter continued to personally offer sacrifices on the altar of Yhwh at regular intervals (I Kings ix. 25). Similar instances, in later times, are presented by Elijah, sacrificing on Mount Carmel (I Kings xviii. 32 et seq.), and by Ahaz, in the Temple at Jerusalem (II Kings xvi. 12 et seq.).

In accordance with this usage in ancient Israel, the ordinances contained in the Book of the Covenant, the oldest code, concerning the building of altars and the offering of sacrifices are addressed not to the priest, but to the people at large (Ex. xx. 24-26). Even


where there was a sanctuary with a priesthood, as at Shiloh, any layman might slaughter and offer his sacrifices without priestly aid (comp. I Sam. ii. 13-16). As access to the altar was not yet guarded in accordance with later Levitical ordinances, so the priesthood was not yet confined to one family, or even to one tribe. The Ephraimite Samuel became priest of the sanctuary at Shiloh, wearing the priestly linen coat (“efod bad”) and the pallium (I Sam. ii. 18 et seq., iii. 1). The kings of Israel ordained as priest whomever they chose (I Kings xli. 31); David, too, invested his own sons, as well as the Jairite Ira, of the tribe of Manasseh, with the priestly office (II Sam. viii. 18, xx. 26).

Functions of the(see Ephod) for his shrine, installed one of his sons as priest to take care of them, but only until he could secure a professional priest, a Levite, for the purpose, one who was qualified to consult the oracle (Judges xvii. 5-13). (a mediator with God)

It is evident that not the shrine, but the images it sheltered, were the essential thing. These it was that the migrating Danites coveted and carried off to their new home, together with the priest, who had consulted the oracle in behalf of their exploring party with auspicious results (ib. xviii.). The sacred palladium of the sanctuary at Shiloh was the ARK, over which the sons of Eli and Samuel kept guard. The former carried it when it was taken to the battle-field,


admitted to the service of the altar; the rest, who had defiled themselves by officiating at the local sanctuaries, should be degraded to the position of mere servants in the sanctuary, replacing the foreign Temple attendants who had heretofore performed all menial services (Ezek. xl. 46, xliii. 19, xliv. 6-16). Naturally, the altar-gifts, the tribute of the first-fruits, and the like, were to be awarded thenceforward to the Zadokites alone (xliv. 29, 30). Though Ezekiel assigns to the priests the duty of sitting in judgment in legal disputes, as before (xliv. 24), he makes their ritual functions, not their judicial functions, the essential point in his regulations governing the priests. Administering the Law, according to him, extends only to matters of ritual, to the distinctions between holy andprofane, clean and unclean, and to the statutory observance of Sabbaths and festivals (xliv. 23, 24).

The Priestly Code.
Ezekiel’s new regulations formed, in all essentials, the basis of the post-exilic priestly system which is formulated in detail in the Priestly Code. A striking difference between Ezekiel and the Priestly Code, however, is at once evident in that the latter betrays no idea of the historical development of things. Whereas Ezekiel records the old usage and, by virtue of his authority as a prophet, declares it abolished, the Priestly Code recognizes only the new order of things introduced by Ezekiel, which order it dates back to the time of Moses, alleging that from the very first the priest-hood had been confined to Aaron and his sons, while the mass of


that in Sanh. 19a the priest appointed as the high priest’s potential substitute for the Day of Atonement is called “mashuaḥ she-‘abar” (anointed one that has been retired), and is clearly distinguished from the segan. The passage reads: “If the high priest offers consolation the segan and the mashuaḥ she-‘abar stand at his right hand, and the chief of the ‘bet ab,’ with the mourners and the rest of the people, at his left hand. . . . And if he receives consolation the segan stands at his right hand, and the chief of the bet ab, with all the people, at his left; the mashuaḥ she-‘abar, however, is not admitted for fear the high priest, in the excitement of his grief, might think that he looked withhigh priest (comp. the baraita Sanh. 19a, quoted above)—the conclusion, namely, that the segan was the next in rank to the high priest. Schürer is probably correct, too, in pointing out (ib.) that the segan is identical with the στρατηγóς τοῦ ἱεροῡ, frequently mentioned by Josephus and in the New Testament.

According to Talmudic law, the regulations demanding an unimpeachable pedigree and relating to Levitical defilement continued to be binding on the priest, even after the Temple had been destroyed, in order that he might be fit for priestly service when, on the advent of the Messiah, the Temple would be rebuilt and the service of the altar renewed. Any one not complying with these requirements is not allowed to give the priestly blessing, the pronouncing of which remained


to do so at the appointed time. As now we live near the close of this period of time, and also knowing that the "hour of test" must also occur before the end of this period, time has to be extremely short. And before this, the man of lawlessness is to be killed.

Since Christ will judge angels and flesh, and both the living and all who have died, the application of Biblical prophecy has to be more far reaching than the activities of a small modern day group as Jehovah's Witnesses.

Identifying Those Branded By The Beast

The mark of the beast is a brand of ownership that is identifiable by behavior.

What Is The Mark Of The Beast?

The original Greek word translated as 'mark' or 'imprint' referring to that receivedspirit 6, mind 6, and finally body 6.

Revelation 13:11-17

11 I saw another beast coming up out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it talked like a dragon.

12 It uses all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and it makes the earth and those living on it worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed.

13 It performs spectacular signs, even making fire come down from heaven to earth in front of people.

14 It deceives those living on earth with the signs that it is allowed to do on behalf of the first beast, telling them to make an image for the beast who was wounded by a sword and yet lived.

15 The second beast was allowed to impart life to


not to "harm" one another.

Fooled by as John puts it, "what 'seemed' to be gold crowns on their heads, the Watchtower leaders have assumed that these locust must be righteous. They saw these as the kingly crowns to be yet granted to the elect. (page 146)

They have based interpretations of Revelation chapter 9 on what is written later in Revelation chapter 20. That is a huge mistake. In Revelation 20, the circumstances have changed.

Revelation 20:1 refers to a later time when another angel is seen "coming down (not falling down) holding in his hand the key to the abyss". At this time, that authority will have been returned to the One that has the right.

They teach that this latter angel is the same angel who has authority overto Learn—-

Fulfillment of A Dream

1 In the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep went from him.

2 Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.

3 The king said to them, “I have had a dream, and my spirit is anxious to understand the dream.”

4 Then spoke the Chaldeans to the king in the Aramaic language, “O king, live forever: tell your servants the dream, and we will show the interpretation.”

5 The king answered the Chaldeans, “The thing is gone from me: if you do not make known to me the dream and its


an answer with counsel and prudence to Arioch the captain of the king’s guard, who was gone forth to kill the wise men of Babylon;

15 he answered Arioch the king’s captain, “Why is the decree so urgent from the king?” Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

16 Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would appoint him a time, and he would show the king the interpretation.

17 Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions:

18 that they would seek mercy from the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

19 Then was the secret revealed to Daniel in awas extraordinary, stood before you; and its appearance was awesome.

32 As for this image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,

33 its legs of iron, its feet part of iron, and part of clay.

34 You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them: and the stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and


shall it break in pieces and crush.

41 Whereas you saw the feet and toes, part of potters’ clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the strength of the iron, because you saw the iron mixed with miry clay.

42 As the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken.

43 And whereas you saw the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mix with one another but they shall not hold together, even as iron does not mix with clay.

44 In the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty bestill speaks through it.

5 By faith, Khenuk was taken away, so that he would not see death, “and he was not found, because God took him away.” For before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.

6 Now without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.

7 By faith, Nukh, being warned about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared a ship for the salvation of his household, through which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

8 By faith, Avraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to a place which he was


to receive for an inheritance. He went out, not knowing where he was going.

9 By faith, he sojourned in a land of promise, as a foreigner, living in tents with Iskhaq and Yaquv, the heirs with him of the same promise.

10 For he looked for the city which has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.

11 By faith, even barren Sarah herself received power to conceive when she was past age, and gave birth, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

;12 Therefore as many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as innumerable as the sand which is by the sea shore, were fathered by one man, and him as good as dead.

;13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but havingcalled;”

19 concluding that God is able to raise up even from the dead. Figuratively speaking, he also did receive him back from the dead.

20 By faith, Iskhaq blessed Yaquv and Isuw, even concerning things to come.

21 By faith, Yaquv, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Yauseph, and worshiped, leaning on the top of his staff.

22 By faith, Yauseph, when his end was near, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave instructions concerning his bones.

23 By faith, Mushe, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that he was a beautiful child, and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.

;24 By faith, Mushe, when he had grown up, refused to be called


the son of Pharaoh’s daughter,

;25 choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;

26 considering the reproach of the Meshikha greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward.

27 By faith, he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

28 By faith, he kept the Passover, and the sprinkling of the blood, that the destroyer of the firstborn should not touch them.

29 By faith, they passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were swallowed up.

30 By faith, the walls of Irikhu fell down, after they had been encircled for seven days.

31 By faith, Rakhavthe prostitute, did not perish with those who were disobedient, having received the spies in peace.

32 And what more should I say? For the time would fail me if I told of Gedeun, Baraq, Shemshun, Naphtakh, Dawid, Shemuyel, and the prophets;

33 who, through faith subdued kingdoms, worked out righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, grew mighty in war, and caused foreign armies to flee.

;35 Women received their dead by resurrection. Others were tortured, not accepting their deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection.

36 Others were tried by mocking and scourging, yes, moreover by bonds and imprisonment.

37 They were stoned, they were sawed apart, they were tempted, they were killed


'mark' of most importance was a mark of cleanness. God was separating His people apart and teaching them to live cleanly by behavior.

Some other cultures practiced circumcision, including the Egyptians who adopted the practice when the Hebrew children resided in Egypt.

Others like the Philistines did not. David called Goliath an, "uncircumcised Philistine".

God knew the uncleanness spread by uncircumcision.

The uncircumcised soldiers of the nations brought diseases with them to Europe in two world wars as the medical article below cites. Why were so many uncircumcised in the 1940's is a good question to ask.

God's simple instruction to the Hebrews was not to mix with gentiles because they would become unclean.

The Pattern

The Bible likens Satan the devil to the "filthy foreskin".

His seed does not issue forth from the shoot orthe natural creation of God.

His seed is the scum that collects beneath the foreskin and inflames and corrupts God's creation.

The Law of God was that on the eight day after birth, the Priest should take that foreskin outside the city wall and tossed it into the Valley of Hinnom, Gehenna, the Lake of Fire.

The Uncircumcised And The Spread of Disease

"US Army report by General John Patton stated that in World War II 150,000 soldiers were hospitalized for foreskin problems due to inadequate hygiene, leading to the statements: “Time and money could have been saved had prophylactic circumcision been performed before the men were shipped overseas” and “Because keeping the foreskin clean was very difficult in the field, many soldiers with only a minimal tendency toward phimosis were likely


and so facilitate its entry into the body. It has also been suggested that the Egyptians believed that when a snake shed its skin, and emerged bright and new again, it was undergoing rebirth. Since they thought by shedding its skin the snake became immortal that humans might do the same by causing the “shedding” of the foreskin.

The perpetuation of the procedure by the Israelites (and thus Jews) may have subsequently been driven by a desire to maintain cleanliness in an arid, sandy desert environment. When the Israelites were held in bondage in Egypt the men were all circumcised. After Moses led them out of Egypt a ritual of circumcision on the 8th day post-partum was instituted as a “covenant with God”. (Of course this tradition was thenlost during their wanderings, and was re-instituted later, as described in section 4 on the history of circumcision.) The Prophet Mohammad, born in hot, dry, sandy Saudi Arabia, was also circumcised as are all Muslims today."

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to rotor structures of dynamoelectric machines, such as turbine generators, and in particular, to means for shunting currents induced in rotor surfaces by externally applied magnetic fields away from retaining rings situated at both ends of the rotor.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Generator rotors according to prior art include shaft and body portions of relatively small and large diameter, respectively. Longitudinal slots usually extend axially along the outer periphery of the rotor body. Longitudinal electrical conductor portions disposed in different rotor slots are normally interconnected at each axial end of the rotor body by end turn electrical conductor portions. The longitudinal conductor portions are radially restrained by wedges inserted in those slots radially outside the longitudinal electrical conductors. The end turnare customarily utilized for retaining rings usually have relatively high electrical resistance which causes substantial I.sup.2 R heating losses. Additionally, since each retaining ring is normally joined (typically shrunk on) to the rotor body in its restraining configuration, heating losses therein tend to expand the retaining ring and reduce the shrink fit pressure between it and the rotor body. As such, the electrical connection between the retaining ring and the rotor body develops a higher resistance which leads to higher heating losses and further aggravates the undesirable situation. For a given load unbalance or fault, dynamoelectric machines of higher rating will usually sustain higher heating losses in the retaining rings and induce greater thermal expansion thereof.

Go West, Go Wolves, Go Evan

The University of West Georgia’s admission staff has added a new Wolf to their team. At the beginning of the spring semester 2017, Evan Jaynes was deemed the new Associate Director of Admissions, and is specifically in charge of Campus Visits and Communications. This title includes overseeing preview days, University Ambassadors, daily campus tours, and tour guides. Jaynes previously worked in the First Year Experience Department at UWG starting the summer of 2015 as Coordinator of Orientation.

Jaynes holds a bachelor degree in business marketing and a minor in leadership studies from the University of South Florida. He then found his calling for student affairs and continued his education at Clemson University for graduate school. He had an experiential learning assistantship in the officeof new student and family programs as the student leadership graduate assistant.

Jaynes graduated with a master of education, counselor education with an emphasis in college student affairs. After completing his graduate degree Jaynes was offered the position Coordinator of Orientation at UWG, which he described as the perfect job. Jaynes, now associate director of admissions, is excited about his new position in the office of admissions. He even has a few changes in mind for the ambassador program.

The key element that drew Jaynes to the University of West Georgia is its diverse campus population. Jaynes described his undergraduate institution, USF, as beautiful, not only aesthetically but also culturally. He did not find this same beauty at his graduate institution and that was when he realized that he needed


A Veteran Psychiatrist/Parent/Writer Observes the American Culture

Month: April 2016

It has been months since the former longest-serving Speaker of House, Dennis Hastert, was outed as a child molester of the youth he coached in his school teaching years. He was convicted of paying out millions, reportedly somewhere in excess of over $3M to at least one former victim to ensure his silence on Mr. Hastert’s sexual predatory crimes. It all came out in a mundane investigative manner, following the money as the saying goes, when large withdrawals over a period of time were from his bank accounts were being made and drew that attention of the local banker, banker investgators and all the way up the chain of oversight exacntly the way it was supposed to work.

Approximately 20 million veterans currently live in the United States. While the overall veteran population is expected to decrease, the diversity of the remaining group is expected to increase in the coming years.

The Clearinghouse for Military Family Readiness at Penn State has just released Supporting United States Veterans: A review of veteran-focused needs assessments from 2008-2017. The report reviewed veterans needs assessments from the past decade and identified the most common needs to include: mental health, physical health and well-being, employment, housing, transportation, financial literacy, and social support. Identified barriers that decrease access to services include awareness, eligibility, and transportation; delays and excessive paperwork; perceived low quality; concerns regarding stigma and lack of confidentiality; and lack of tailored services tailored to the diverse groups


Waiting For Goffman

Actor, singer, musician and more Devon Goffman brings his talents to Detroit with On Your Feet!

In a musical that celebrates the achievements of Cuban immigrants and the Cuban-Latin music they introduced to American audiences, Devon Goffman plays a Jewish role.

He is record producer Phil in On Your Feet!, the show defining the hurdles and successes of singer-songwriter and seven-time Grammy winner Gloria Estefan and her husband, producer-musician Emilio Estefan — a 19-time Grammy winner.

Devon Goffman

Goffman, who also takes on a second role as a doctor and appears in show-stopping numbers with the ensemble, is returning to Detroit, where he has toured with Motown the Musical and Jersey Boys. He settles in May 1-13 at the Fisher Theatre.

“Phil is portrayed as one of the big helpers formy shell.”

While studying music education at SUNY Fredonia, Goffman performed in summer musicals. After seeking career advice from a director, he decided to focus on a musical theater curriculum before moving to New York and auditioning.

His first national tour was The Buddy Holly Story, followed by the first tour of Motown the Musical, which launched in Detroit.

“When we opened in Detroit with Berry Gordy, Stevie Wonder came up on stage and sang with us,” Goffman recalls. “That was pretty cool.”

Goffman shares his love for musical theater with his wife, Katie, who was the lead in the first national tour of Ghost the Musical and the second national tour of Rock of Ages. The two, who met at an audition, wrote and produced Wisco Queens, a five-episode YouTube series

It travels from Africa to the UK each year to lay eggs in the nests of other birds, and then it flies back. Until two years ago our best knowledge of their migration was when a bird ringed in Britain in 1930 turned up dead in Cameroon two years later. But, thanks to the BTO, we now know a bit more.

Cuckoo numbers have dropped by around half in the last 25 years. Photograph: WILDLIFE GmbH /Alamy

Initially five birds were caught and fitted with GPS monitoring systems, as part of the BTO's cuckoo tagging project. I followed their journeys online as Clement, Lyster, Martin, Kasper and Chris made their way south. Most


went via Italy but some travelled through France and Spain, adding about 3000 miles to their journey. Not all of them made it back. Like the ringed bird in the 1930s, Clement died in the Cameroon. Could this indicate a problem there?

This year more cuckoos have been tagged, in the hope of unravelling some more of the mystery of their decline. I had the privilege of naming one. Derek was caught in Norfolk, and is one of just six of the 18 that remain in the UK. When will he embark on his journey and which route will he take?

Using immunohistochemistry in light microscopy, the myelin basic protein and proteolipid protein were localized on sections of the spinal cord enlargements of opossums, Monodelphis domestica, to determine the timecourse of myelinogenesis therein and compare it with other events of motor systems development. Additional tissue not processed for immunohistochemistry was prepared for transmission electron microscopy. No immunolabeling for either protein occurred on spinal sections from the newborn opossum, but in electron microscopy occasional fibers surrounded by loose, irregular membranous rings were seen on the outskirts of the ventral horn. Immunolabeling was detected first in the brachial enlargement during the second week, presumably on motoneuronal, vestibular and reticular axons. The areas of the dorsal columns,


other spino-encephalic, reticulospinal and propriospinal projections became labeled in the third week, and the area of rubrospinal axons at 4 weeks. In the brachial gray matter, immunolabeling appeared along ventrodorsal and lateromedial gradients from the fourth to seventh weeks. Labeling developed similarly in the white and gray matter of the lumbosacral enlargement, but 3-5 days later than at brachial levels. Labeling intensity in the white and gray matter increased until at least 4 months, but remained light in laminae I-III. Thus, myelinogenesis in the spinal cord enlargements of the opossum is protracted and follows general rostrocaudal, ventrodorsal and lateromedial sequences. It occurs later than synaptogenesis at comparable levels of the cord, but earlier than myelinogenesis in the corresponding ventral and dorsal roots. Spinal myelinogenesis correlates with the developmentwhere it meets the Capitol Square.

NEW YORK ― When attorney Cesar Vargas first met his teenage client Ivan Ruiz, a newly arrived undocumented immigrant from Honduras, he noticed Ruiz seemed to wear the weight of his traumatic childhood on his sleeve.

Ruiz, 15 at the time, rarely spoke, returning questions about his life in Honduras with long stares and heavy nods. It was only over the course of a year that Vargas would learn the extent of abuse Ruiz suffered while living with extended family members after his parents immigrated to the United States for a better life. Ruiz was barely fed, forced to work long hours and beaten ― even whipped with tire


rubber ― as punishment.

The abuse became too much to bear. After trekking through Mexico, Guatemala and El Salvador, Ruiz crossed the border into the United States in spring 2016. His journey wasn’t over, though, and a year ago he was ordered to appear in immigration court.

With Vargas’ help, Ruiz recently won a life-changing victory: He was granted asylum. He now spends his days in summer school, soaking up new English words and the novelty of life with only low-stakes, teenage worries. He recently took two girls to the prom and is delicately balancing the affections of another. He is looking forward to the day when he can join a Manhattan-based soccer league, but the $180 joining fee is currently too steep.

His case is remarkable for two reasons. Atfriend, too.

This month, on a sunny day at Safe Passage’s downtown office, Ruiz eagerly told Vargas about his adventures in teenage romance. He squirmed with youthful energy while explaining that he likes “everything” about his new life ― from his summer school classes to his new wardrobe. Back in Honduras, his cousins used to wear his shirts and underwear, he said. It wasn’t unusual for him to go without undergarments.

With Vargas translating, Ruiz said he loves living in New York, readily grinning when he correctly guessed a word in English and bragging about having received a new work authorization card. His mood shifted when he briefly touched on the intense physical and emotional abuse he endured in his home country.

My client is probably going to have a much


Advances in multivariate analysis in pharmaceutical process development.
In the last five years, reports of the application of multivariate methods in pharmaceutical process research and development have burgeoned. Examples range from the widespread adoption of statistical experimental design for screening and process optimization to the implementation of workflows that integrate multivariate characterization, experimental design and the development of quantitative structure-property relationships. Having learned from the application of these techniques in drug discovery and armed with modern high-throughput experimentation platforms, practitioners are discovering the power of experimental design and multivariate methods for shortening process development timelines.The high court's Justice Sonia Gokani, while rejecting Ms Jafri's allegations, said she can move higher forums or the Supreme Court against today's ruling.

Zakia Jafri, 79, had approached the high court in March 2014 against a lower court verdict accepting the SIT's report, which concluded that then Chief Minister Modi took all possible steps to control the riots that swept through Gujarat after coaches of the Sabarmati Express train were set afire at Godhra station in the state, killing 59 people.

The petition filed by Zakia Jafri and the NGO Citizen for Justice and Peace, run by Teesta Setalvad, alleged that the then Chief Minister had turned a blind eye to the violence and had sought a criminal trial against PM Modi and 58 others.

Justice Gokani had started final


hearings in the case in 2015. The SIT's lawyer defended its findings, underlining that these have already been reviewed by the top court's amicus curiae, or friend of the court.

The SIT report, filed in 2012, had said no charges made by Zakia Jafri were maintainable and had questioned the motive behind her filing her complaint four years after the riots. In 2013, the lower court rejected Ms Jafri's petition against the report and she moved the high court.

The massacre at Gulbarg Society - a cluster of 29 bungalows and 10 apartment buildings housing mostly Muslims - was among the 10 major Gujarat riot cases re-investigated by the special team appointed by the Supreme Court.

Ehsaan Jafri, a former Congress parliamentarian, was among 69 people dragged out, hacked and burntby the rioters. The Congress leader's frantic phone calls to police officers and senior politicians for help went unanswered, Zakia Jafri has alleged.

Last year, a special court in Ahmedabad convicted 24 attackers for the massacre that the court described as the "darkest day in the history of civil society." But the court, which also acquitted 36 people including a BJP corporator in this case, underlined that there was no larger conspiracy.

The verdict was seen as another setback for the Jafris, who alleged that people involved in the massacre were allowed to get away. "They must get the punishment as they killed people and destroyed their families. I saw them doing it with my own eyes," Ms Jafri said.

Now Gaga has a shot to make a big time political statement against President Trump in front of what is normally the most watched television event of the year when she struts her stuff after the second quarter gun has sounded. She is going to take full advantage of this historic opportunity to emerge as another leader of the anti-Trump movement.

Lady Gaga said she did not want to give away many specifics about her 13-minute Super Bowl halftime performance, including whether she will make a political statement during the show.

When asked if she would try to “unify America” with her halftime show, Gaga said her performance willgovernment. The league was subjected to months of negative publicity by the failure to deal with militant San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick whose refusal to stand for the national anthem transformed him into a hero for radical leftists. While the oppressed millionaire’s contempt for the country and the cops landed him on the cover of Time Magazine and earned high praise from liberal pundits, many Americans discovered that they had something better to do with their time on Sunday afternoon.

The NFL experienced a shocking decline in television ratings that were at least partially attributable to Kaepernick’s ongoing spitting on the flag, affiliation with the racist Black Panther party and praise of deceased Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

The Cronulla Sharks were proud to yesterday launch a new and exciting pathway for women in Rugby League, acknowledging the importance of female involvement and player development within the sport.

The initiative is the first of its kind across NRL clubs, with the intentions to seek out the game’s best female players, and to assemble an NRL 9s squad.

Tim Thorne, Cronulla Sharks Head of Engagement and Pathways, praised the development in saying that the program will look to build upon the existing works taken out in areas across the women’s game.

“Our aim is to further add to the momentum started with the great work of the NRL and the Jillaroos Program” Thorne said.

There are people, hundreds of thousands of Quakers, Mennonites,
all our Douhobortsi, Molokani, and others who do not belong to
any definite sect, who consider that the use of force--and,
consequently, military service--is inconsistent with Christianity.
Consequently there are every year among us in Russia some men called
upon for military service who refuse to serve on the ground of their
religious convictions. Does the government let them off then? No.
Does it compel them to go, and in case of disobedience punish them?
No. This was how the government treated them in 1818. Here is an
extract from the diary of Nicholas Myravyov of Kars, which was not
passed by the censor, and is not known in Russia:


in all of
whom, without exception, we find the same thing repeated: everything
is discussed except what constitutes the principal subject of
the book. As a characteristic example of such criticisms, I will
quote the article of a well-known and ingenious English writer and
preacher--Farrar--who, like many learned theologians, is a great
master of the art of circuitously evading a question. The article was
published in an American journal, the _Forum_, in October, 1888.

After conscientiously explaining in brief the contents of my book,
Farrar says: "Tolstoy came to the conclusion that a coarse deceit
had been palmed upon the world when these words, 'Resist not evil,'
were held by civil society to be compatible with war, courts of
justice, capital punishment, divorce, oaths, national prejudice, and,
indeed, with most of the institutions of civil and social life. He
now believes thatrevolutionists were indignant at the
doctrine of non-resistance to evil by force hindering the overthrow
of the conservatives, who are ruining the national prosperity. It
is worthy of remark in this connection that the revolutionists have
attacked the principle of non-resistance to evil by force, in spite
of the fact that it is the greatest terror and danger for every
despotism. For ever since the beginning of the world, the use of
violence of every kind, from the Inquisition to the Schluesselburg
fortress, has rested and still rests on the opposite principle of the
necessity of resisting evil by force.

Besides this, the Russian critics have pointed out the fact that the
application of the command of non-resistance to practical life would
turn mankind aside out of the path of civilization along which it is
moving. The path of civilization on


in heaven." "Be ye
perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect." "Seek ye first
the kingdom of heaven and its righteousness."

The fulfillment of this precept is only to be found in uninterrupted
progress toward the attainment of ever higher truth, toward
establishing more and more firmly an ever greater love within
oneself, and establishing more and more widely the kingdom of God
outside oneself.

It is obvious that, appearing as it did in the midst of the Jewish
and heathen world, such teaching could not be accepted by the
majority of men, who were living a life absolutely different from
what was required by it. It is obvious, too, that even for those by
whom it was accepted, it was so absolutely opposed to all their old
views that it could not be comprehensible in its full significance.

Itchurches of the most world-wide influence--the
Catholic, the Old Orthodox, and the Lutheran--openly assert this.

In the Catholic catechism it is said: "Quels sont ceux qui sont hors
de l'eglise? Les infideles, les heretiques, les schismatiques."[4]
The so-called Greek Orthodox are regarded as schismatics, the
Lutherans as heretics; so that according to the Catholic catechism
the only people in the Church are Catholics.

  [4] "Who are those who are outside the Church? Infidels, heretics,
  and schismatics."

In the so-called Orthodox catechism it is said: By the one Christian
Church is understood the Orthodox, which remains fully in accord
with the Universal Church. As for the Roman Church and other sects
(the Lutherans and the rest they do not even dignify by the name of
church), they cannot be included in the one true Church, since they
have themselves


direction of the point he
wants to reach.

In reality, in order to reach the place to which he wants to go, he
must row with all his strength toward a point much higher up.

To let go the requirements of the ideal means not only to diminish
the possibility of perfection, but to make an end of the ideal
itself. The ideal that has power over men is not an ideal invented by
someone, but the ideal that every man carries within his soul. Only
this ideal of complete infinite perfection has power over men, and
stimulates them to action. A moderate perfection loses its power of
influencing men's hearts.

Christ's teaching only has power when it demands absolute
perfection--that is, the fusion of the divine nature which exists in
every man's soul with the will of God--the union ofwere base or noble in blood, children of
Ham or of Japhet. The greatest sages of the world, the teachers of
humanity, Plato and Aristotle, justified the existence of slaves and
demonstrated the lawfulness of slavery; and even three centuries ago,
the men who described an imaginary society of the future, Utopia,
could not conceive of it without slaves.

Men of ancient and mediaeval times believed, firmly believed, that
men are not equal, that the only true men are Persians, or Greeks,
or Romans, or Franks. But we cannot believe that now. And people
who sacrifice themselves for the principles of aristocracy and of
patriotism to-day, don't believe and can't believe what they assert.

We all know and cannot help knowing--even though we may never have
heard the idea clearly expressed, may never have read of it, and may
never have


line, a slaughterer of genius, Von
Moltke, in reply to the peace delegates, once uttered these strange
words:

"'War is holy, war is ordained of God. It is one of the most sacred
laws of the world. It maintains among men all the great and noble
sentiments--honor, devotion, virtue, and courage, and saves them in
short from falling into the most hideous materialism.'

"So, then, bringing millions of men together into herds, marching by
day and by night without rest, thinking of nothing, studying nothing,
learning nothing, reading nothing, being useful to no one, wallowing
in filth, sleeping in mud, living like brutes in a continual state
of stupefaction, sacking towns, burning villages, ruining whole
populations, then meeting another mass of human flesh, falling upon
them, making pools of blood, and plains of flesh mixed with trodden
mire and red with heapsindividual in the name of the will of
all, who would all, taken individually, desire exactly the opposite
of what they will be made to do._

"And if it were only a generation that must be sacrificed! But there
are graver interests at stake.

"The paid politicians, the ambitious statesmen, who exploit the
evil passions of the populace, and the imbeciles who are deluded by
fine-sounding phrases, have so embittered national feuds that the
existence of a whole race will be at stake in the war of the morrow.
One of the elements that constitute the modern world is threatened,
the conquered people will be wiped out of existence, and whichever
it may be, we shall see a moral force annihilated, as if there were
too many forces to work for good--we shall have a new Europe formed
on foundations so


military service is only the
internal inconsistency inherent in the social conception of life,
carried to its furthest limits, and becoming evident when a certain
stage of material development is reached.

The social conception of life, we have seen, consists in the
transfer of the aim of life from the individual to groups and their
maintenance--to the tribe, family, race, or state.

In the social conception of life it is supposed that since the
aim of life is found in groups of individuals, individuals will
voluntarily sacrifice their own interests for the interests of
the group. And so it has been, and still is, in fact, in certain
groups, the distinction being that they are the most primitive
forms of association in the family or tribe or race, or even in the
patriarchal state. Through tradition handed down by education and
supportedobstacle than an
assistance in attaining these aims.

From the end of last century there has hardly been a single
progressive movement of humanity which has not been retarded by the
government. So it has been with abolition of corporal punishment, of
trial by torture, and of slavery, as well as with the establishment
of the liberty of the press and the right of public meeting. In our
day governments not only fail to encourage, but directly hinder
every movement by which people try to work out new forms of life for
themselves. Every attempt at the solution of the problems of labor,
land, politics, and religion meets with direct opposition on the part
of government.

"Without governments nations would be enslaved by their neighbors."
It is scarcely necessary to refute this last argument. It carries its
refutation on the face of


against the authorities with the
same violence as was employed against them.

The men invested with religious authority regarded as evil what the
men and institutions invested with temporal authority regarded as
good and _vice versa_, and the struggle grew more and more intense.
And the longer men used violence as the means of settling their
disputes, the more obvious it became that it was an unsuitable means,
since there could be no external authority able to define evil
recognized by all.

Things went on like this for eighteen centuries, and at last reached
the present position in which it is absolutely obvious that there
is, and can be, no external definition of evil binding upon all.
Men have come to the point of ceasing to believe in the possibility
or even desirability of finding and establishing such a general
definition. Itwho in 1891 declared to the
authorities in Berlin that he would not, as a Christian, continue
to serve, and in spite of all admonitions, threats, and punishments
he stuck to his resolution. In the south of France a society has
arisen of late bearing the name of the Hinschists (these facts are
taken from the _Peace Herald_, July, 1891), the members of which
refuse to enter military service on the grounds of their Christian
principles. At first they were enrolled in the ambulance corps, but
now, as their numbers increase, they are subjected to punishment for
non-compliance, but they still refuse to bear arms just the same.

The socialists, the communists, the anarchists, with their bombs and
riots and revolutions, are not nearly so much dreaded by governments
as these disconnected individuals coming from different parts, and
all justifying their


will disappear through their uselessness, stupidity,
and even inconvenience becoming obvious to all.

The time must come when the men of our modern world who fill offices
based upon violence will find themselves in the position of the
emperor in Andersen's tale of "The Emperor's New Clothes," when the
child seeing the emperor undressed, cried in all simplicity, "Look,
he is naked!" And then all the rest, who had seen him and said
nothing, could not help recognizing it too.

The story is that there was once an emperor, very fond of new
clothes. And to him came two tailors, who promised to make him some
extraordinary clothes. The emperor engages them and they begin to sew
at them, but they explain that the clothes have the extraordinary
property of remaining invisible to anyone who is unfit for his
position. Thefollow them. And the advanced
guard cannot cease to understand what they have once understood;
and what they understand the rest not only can but must inevitably
understand hereafter.

So that the prophecy that the time will come when men will be
taught of God, will learn war no more, will beat their swords
into plowshares and their spears into reaping-hooks, which means,
translating it into our language, the fortresses, prisons, barracks,
palaces, and churches will remain empty, and all the gibbets and
guns and cannons will be left unused, is no longer a dream, but
the definite new form of life to which mankind is approaching with
ever-increasing rapidity.

But when will it be?

Eighteen hundred years ago to this question Christ answered that the
end of the world (that is, of the pagan organization of life) shall
come when the tribulation


of blood, gave orders that the punishment should go on, and
the flogging was continued up to seventy strokes, the number which
the governor had for some reason fixed upon as necessary. When the
seventieth stroke had been reached, the governor said "Enough! Next
one!" And the mutilated victim, his back covered with blood, was
lifted up and carried away unconscious, and another was led up. The
sobs and groans of the crowd grew louder. But the representative of
the state continued the torture.

Thus they flogged each of them up to the twelfth, and each of them
received seventy strokes. They all implored mercy, shrieked and
groaned. The sobs and cries of the crowd of women grew louder and
more heart-rending, and the men's faces grew darker and darker. But
they were surrounded by troops, and the torture didface for
the first time in my life with a fact which showed me absolutely
unmistakably in practice what had long been clear to me in theory,
that the organization of our society rests, not as people interested
in maintaining the present order of things like to imagine, on
certain principles of jurisprudence, but on simple brute force, on
the murder and torture of men.

People who own great estates or fortunes, or who receive great
revenues drawn from the class who are in want even of necessities,
the working class, as well as all those who like merchants, doctors,
artists, clerks, learned professors, coachmen, cooks, writers,
valets, and barristers, make their living about these rich people,
like to believe that the privileges they enjoy are not the result of
force, but of absolutely free and just interchange of services, and
that


by labor, envious, covetous, and often suffering with
their families from direct privation, all the privileges of the rich,
all their luxuries and superfluities, are obtained and maintained
only by tortures, imprisonment, and murder.

The train I met on the 9th of September going with soldiers, guns,
cartridges, and rods, to confirm the rich landowner in the possession
of a small forest which he had taken from the starving peasants,
which they were in the direst need of, and he was in no need of at
all, was a striking proof of how men are capable of doing deeds
directly opposed to their principles and their conscience without
perceiving it.

The special train consisted of one first-class carriage for the
governor, the officials, and officers, and several luggage vans
crammed full of soldiers. The latter, smart young fellows in their
clean newbored
expression, as though he were weary of the formalities to be gone
through. On all sides officers were bustling noisily about in their
red uniforms trimmed with gold; one sat at a table finishing his
bottle of beer, another stood at the buffet eating a cake, and
brushing the crumbs off his uniform, threw down his money with a
self-confident air; another was sauntering before the carriages of
our train, staring at the faces of the women.

All these men who were going to murder or to torture the famishing
and defenseless creatures who provide them their sustenance had the
air of men who knew very well that they were doing their duty, and
some were even proud, were "glorying" in what they were doing.

What is the meaning of it?

office.

Inside the office the work was going on rapidly. The door is opened

himself, and goes into a little room with a glass door, where the

only to those they attack; but those who know the truth and do
evil masked by hypocrisy, injure themselves and their victims, and
thousands of other men as well who are led astray by the falsehood
with which the wrongdoing is disguised.

Thieves, robbers, murderers, and cheats, who commit crimes recognized
by themselves and everyone else as evil, serve as an example of
what ought not to be done, and deter others from similar crimes.
But those who commit the same thefts, robberies, murders, and other
crimes, disguising them under all kinds of religious or scientific
or humanitarian justifications, as all landowners, merchants,
manufacturers, and government officials do, provoke others to
imitation, and so do harm not only to those who are directly the
victims of their crimes, but to thousands and millions


rostral of the lateral ventricle, and the end of the hippocampus was defined as the disappearance of the ovoid gray matter medially to the lateral ventricle. The anterior border of the PRC was defined as the most anterior slice in which the collateral sulcus was visible (Ritchey et al., [@B64]), and its most posterior slice was defined as 3 mm after the gyrus intralimbicus disappeared. As it is hard to dissociate the PRC from EC, we combined them as one ROI. The PRC was replaced caudally by the anterior of the PHC. The posterior extent of the PHC was defined as the anterior limit of the parieto-occipital fissure. The segmentation of the MTL was co-registered to standard space and averaged across subjects.

The New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state, ruled that health clubs are not required to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs) on a club member even though state law requires clubs to have an AED and staff trained to use them.

The New York Court of Appeals, the highest court in the state, ruled that health clubs are not required to use automated external defibrillators (AEDs) on a club member even though state law requires clubs to have an AED and staff trained to use them.

On that day in March 2007, one of Bally's personal trainers, Kenneth LaGrega, found Miglino with his eyes open, a weak pulse and breathing heavily, according to court affidavits. A


member notified the front desk to call 911. Another employee brought the club's AED to the scene where a medical doctor and a medical student, who were members of the club, then began attending to Miglino and began cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. The AED was not used on Miglino, although no specific reason was given for its non-use. Paramedics arrived and shocked Miglino, but he died.

The Court of Appeals ruled the lawsuit can proceed but the gym's duty is limited, the Associated Press reported. In the majority opinion, Judge Susan Read wrote that the AED law "does not create a duty running from a health club to its members to use an AED."

"A law that mandates the presence of AEDs and trained individuals at health clubs is easy to obeyand enforce," Read wrote. Any "implied duty" would be neither, according to Read.

"Such a duty would engender a whole new field of tort litigation, saddling health clubs with new costs and generating uncertainty," Read wrote.

The ruling overturned a decision by the Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division Second Judicial Department on Dec. 27, 2011.


After the politics of ‘loan-waivers’ consumed lives in the Congress-JDS ruled Karnataka, this time a farmer from Congress-ruled Madhya Pradesh has committed suicide after he found out that he was not entitled to the loan waiver scheme announced by the Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Kamal Nath, reported Times Now

According to the report, a farmer belonging to Khandwa, Madhya Pradesh had obtained a loan of Rs.3 lakh for agricultural purposes. The family of the deceased farmer alleges that he ended his life as he was not entitled to the farm loan waive-off promised by the newly elected Chief Minister Kamal Nath.

Reportedly, the farmer had obtained a loan after March 31st, which is the cut-off date for ‘waive-off’ of the loans taken by the farmers in the state. Anybody,who had taken the loan after March 31s,t 2018 would not be eligible, as per the new government’s order, contrary to unconditional loan waive-off promised by Congress president Rahul Gandhi.

One of the new conditions set up by the Kamal Nath government to sanction the so-called farmer loan waiver in Madhya Pradesh is an upper ceiling of Rs 2 lakh as the maximum amount up to which a farmer can have his loan waived off.

In Karnataka, which is another Congress-ruled state, farmers have been complaining against the government after several instances of farmers receiving repayment notices came to light despite Congress’ claims to have waived-off farm loans.

Within the last five days, two farmers in Karnataka have committed suicide after they failed to repay their farm loans.


2014 United States Senate election in Illinois

The 2014 United States Senate election in Illinois took place on November 4, 2014, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the State of Illinois, concurrently with the election of the Governor of Illinois, as well as other elections to the United States Senate in other states and elections to the United States House of Representatives and various state and local elections.

Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator and Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin ran for re-election to a fourth term. He was unopposed in the Democratic primary. The Republicans nominated State Senator and perennial candidate for higher office Jim Oberweis.

Durbin defeated Oberweis and Libertarian Sharon Hansen with 53.5% of the vote, the smallest vote total of any of his Senatecourt granted a summary judgment in favor of the Blalocks, presumably on the ground that the contract was void because Furr had not qualified to do business in Alabama. We affirm.
The Blalocks, who are residents of Black, Alabama, went to Furr's lot in Bonifay, Florida, and placed an order for a new mobile home. About May 13, 1985, an agent of Furr went to the Blalocks' home in Black, Alabama, with a contract for the sale of a "new" 1984 Thomasville Constellation mobile home. It was at the Blalocks' home that the parties entered into a contract for the sale of the "new" mobile home. However, because of the defective condition of the mobile home, Furr agreed to do substantial repair work, in addition to delivering and setting

When it was released in December of 1980, Flash Gordon was supposed to rival George Lucas’ second installment of the Star Wars saga, The Empire Strikes Back, in terms of box office receipts for the year. Producing the film was legendary director Dino De Laurentiis, whose flare for the theatrical guaranteed that the film would be big and bold, and along with an already established built-in audience—courtesy of years of comic books, Saturday matinee serials, a popular and current Saturday morning cartoon based on the character, and a soundtrack by Queen—the picture seemed primed to rake in the cash all the way through Christmas and straight into 1981. Instead it flopped, failing to even make back its production costsfrom ticket sales in the United States and effectively killing any plans for relaunching the franchise based on the character and his universe.

A big budget, Hollywood studio production bombing at the box office was nothing new back in 1980 just as it’s nothing new today, but most of those films are met with poor critical response in addition to equally poor word of mouth among moviegoers and are truly deserving of their fates. Flash Gordon was seen by most major critics here in the U.S. as a fun, family-friendly, action-adventure that captured the spirit of the old Universal serials while holding its tongue firmly in cheek, but the other half of the equation—the response of the movie going public at the time—unfairly seemed to bury it a short

A live version on the Apple rooftop ended the movie Let It Be. This is what The Beatles were playing on the Apple rooftop when the police shut them down. The album version is a studio take with the end of the rooftop concert spliced on, complete with comments to make it sound live.

"Get Back" was going to be the title of the album. The concept was The Beatles "getting back" to their roots and playing newsongs for a live audience without any studio tricks. This song came closest to capturing that spirit, but the album became something completely different when they decided to scrap the idea of a live album. Glyn Johns, who engineered the sessions was asked to put the album together from what were really rehearsal tapes. After he put the album together, it sat around while the Let It Be Movie was being edited from the film footage of The Beatles rehearsing in the studio and playing on the rooftop. During this time, The Beatles made the Abbey Road album, released it, and broke up. John Lennon had Phil Spector produce his solo song "Instant Karma," which Harrison played on. They liked Spector's work and asked him to produce the


Get Back album, which was re-titled Let It Be. Spector took the tapes and added orchestrations using his "Wall Of Sound" technique, and the album that was supposed to be the raw sound of The Beatles returning to their roots was released as a highly-produced final album after they had broken up.

In their early days, The Beatles played in clubs for hours most nights, but by 1967, they stopped touring. This single was advertised as "The Beatles as nature intended."

At the beginning of the album version, Lennon sang, "Sweet Loretta fat she thought she was a cleaner, but she was a frying pan." He was making fun of the first line in the song.

At the end of the album version, Paul says "thanks Mo" in response to Ringo'swife, Maureen, who was clapping.

The press release to promote the single contained this quote from McCartney: "We were sitting in the studio and we made it up out of thin air... we started to write words there and then... when we finished it, we recorded it at Apple Studios and made it into a song to roller coast by."

Lennon claimed this was basically a rewrite of their 1968 song "Lady Madonna."

The single version is longer than the album version. Usually it is the other way around.

Paul looked at Yoko in the studio when he sang the line "get back to where you once belong." John thought he was disrespecting her.

McCartney got the idea for this from the line, "Get back to where you should be," which came from


a song Harrison wrote called "Sour Milk Sea," which was eventually recorded by Jackie Lomax. McCartney changed the line to, "Get back to where you once belonged."

There was speculation that the character "JoJo" was based on Joseph Melville See Jr., Linda McCartney's first husband, who was from Tucson, Arizona. McCartney denied this, explaining in his 1988 autobiography Many Years From Now, that he and Linda were on good terms with See, who used the first name Melville, and that "JoJo" was "an imaginary character, half-man and half-woman." See never remarried, and in 2000 he killed himself in Tucson.

Billy Preston played piano and became the only guest artist to get a credit on a Beatles single when this was credited to "The Beatles withBilly Preston." After George Harrison left the sessions, he saw Preston in concert with Ray Charles. The Beatles met Preston in 1962 when they were both playing in Germany, but they hadn't seen each other since. Harrison asked Preston to come by the studio the next day, where he played on this and "Don't Let Me Down." Having him in the studio eased the tension and made it easier for The Beatles to put personal conflicts aside and record the album.

The last version of the song, which can be heard in the widely bootlegged "rooftop sessions," finds McCartney mocking the police as they shut down the rooftop concert. You can hear him ad-lib the lines "You been out too long, Loretta! You've been playing on the roofs again!


That's no good! You know your mommy doesn't like that! Oh, she's getting angry... she'll have you arrested! Get back!"

Some of the artists to cover this song include: The Bee Gees, The Crusaders, Dizzy Gillespie, Al Green, Elton John, The London Symphony Orchestra, The Main Ingredient, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Billy Preston, Kenny Rogers, The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, The Shadows, Status Quo, Rod Stewart, Ike and Tina Turner, and Sarah Vaughan.

In 2003, Paul and Ringo gave permission to Apple Records to rework the album and remove Phil Spector's production. The result is the stripped down version called Let It Be... Naked, which McCartney claims is what the group intended.

McCartney played this at halftime of the 2005 Super Bowl. It wasthe year after Janet Jackson exposed her breast during the halftime show.

Most people assume this was a song composed exclusively by Paul. But in the book "The Beatles" by Bob Spitz, Spitz says that during the rehearsals "the playfulness of the melody" got John's attention and he "collaborated with Paul on the lyrics". A rare 1969 co-written songOscar - Boston, Nh

Beatles and Rolling Stones fans received a bigsurprise on Monday, December 5th, 2012 A.D. when Paul McCartney welcomed Ron Wood onstage during his performance at London's O2 Arena.

I was living in The Big Apple in 1975 when I bumped into a dungeon down on 14th Street and 2nd Av where a bootleg Beatles album was being sold. I bought a copy, of course. I should have bought them all, geez. But I was an struggling student. The audio was terrible as if someone sneaked in a low quality mic


through the roof and recorded onto cassette tape. But it was the Beatles beyond any shadow of a doubt. Anyway, while roughly sketching the song Get Back, you could hear Paul singing A Capella, ....Was a Pakistani living in the UK, taking on people's jobs. ....bla, bla, was a Puerto Rican so Get Back to where you once belonged. Oh BTW, this was a double album with songs of the Let It Be and Abbey Road songs. Did someone let these tapes slip out purposely?Jorge - Oakland, Ca

Here's a music trivia killer: Who was the 'Blue Meanie" who called the cops in London to shut the Beatles & their last public performance down? According to author Christopher Sandford, ('McCartney' pg 170-171) it was Stanley Davis, a woolens merchantwho worked next door. I went to four Beatles concerts, including the 'last one' at Candlestick Park in south San Francisco. Afterwards I drove to the airport and waved goodbye as they boarded their private plane on the tarmack. Contrary to a lot of published accounts, in all four concerts I could clearly hear them just fine throughout (music & vocals), in spite of all the hysteria going on around. Mind you, I was up front the first two concerts and not in the back. I thought the PA was pretty good at the ballpark shows. They didn't play very long, 30 minutes, at best. (The opening to 'Paperback Writer' was not the same as the single)Sandford reports that the rooftop performance lasted 42 minutes. By the way,


Maureen Starkey, Ringo's former wife, was a reporter (journalist) who interviewed the Beatles many times. Her maiden name was Maureen Cleave. The oldest piece of published material I have from England of the Beatles is a black & white 'magazine' dedicated to promoting the Beatles; Maureen Cleave is the author. The Beatles set the standard, they were the best. I will Never forget it. So sweet Loretta from Liverpool, next time you and your band decide to play on top of the roof tops again take your own paint ball guns to defend yourselves against the "Blue Meanies" like Stanley Davis. Turn them into Rainbows! God BlessJohn - Eugene, Or

Atleast The Beatles made one song about Pakistanis :) :pAhmed - Karachi, Pakistan

the beatles were very war criticial theyDon't Let Me Down and 12 other songs", as a play on the offical title of their first British LP: "Please Please Me with Love Me Do and 12 other songs". The Beatles even re-posed on the same balcony at the EMI building, as they did in 1962. That later photograph was used on their "1967-70" greatest hits LP.Ken - Louisville, Ky

The missing verse from Get Back: "Meanwhile back at home there's nineteen Pakistanis,Living in a council flat/ Candidate for Labour tells them what the plan is/Then he tells them where its at". ("Council flat" is the British equivilent for "housing project").Ken - Louisville, Ky

I thought John said "Sweet Loretta Fart, she thought she was a cleaner, but she was a frying pan." You can also here Paul


I certainly didn't think I liked her until she opened her mouth, and then I knew I didn't like her. She should never have been allowed to sing. Chapman should have been jailed only for shooting the wrong person.Chris - Corowa, Australia

A guy named Ken something runs a Rolling Stones and John Lennon and Keno's Classic Rock n Roll Site and he says that John shows in this song why he should have played lead guitar more often because he does such a good job!

He also says John played one of the first and best acid guitar parts on his hard rocking 1968 Beatles single,REvolution,and he also said he played a really good slidea 100% Beatles fan. I'm sure that Beatles fans like ALL Beatles, not pick and choose who's better than who. They were brilliant musicians who just didn't get along in the end. Paul was a great musician, John was a great musician, George was a great musician, and Ringo was too even though he didn't write his own stuff 'till he went solo. Enough with the bashing here people, they were all great and deserve a great respect for what they accomplished.Alex - Grand Blanc, Mi

Loretta from Liverpool, it is not George's solo. It is John who does the guitar phrasing on this song. Some camera work on the roof top concert displays the guitar work by Lennon, as George does the 'chording'. Incidentally, John does the guitar


solo on the live version of 'You Can't Do That' on The Anthology series (Vol. 4(?)). You can clearly see Harrison just chording, so it is Lennon who is doing the licks off camera. The camera is on George and Paul as they sing their parts doing the solo.Brian - Sydney, Canada

The part about Loretta Martin in this song always reminds me of the Holly character in Lou Reed's 'Walk On The Wild Side.' The lines are sort of similar... "Holly came from Miama F.L.A., hitchiked all the way across the USA, plucked her eyebrows on the way, shaved her legs then he was a she, she said 'hey babe, take a walk on the wild side.'"Katie - Somewhere, Nj

The break-up was because Paul wanted his father-in-law tobe their manager and the others disagreed. (see The Beatles Anthology)Phil Spector's sound of wall didn't last long and even Tina Turner didn't her recording with Phil.The Beatles didn't like the way it had turned out so who's to say it was better?Ringo...a lot has been said about him and not all good but why not visit his homepage and see what John, Paul and George said about him. He was the anchor, didn't take sides, and his drumming is fabulous. Yoko was certainly not the reason of the break-up and she deserves as much respect as anyone else. She was John's love and wife, the mother of his child. Granted that she caused negatives vibes, John loved her his way and that should be respected as well.


no "studio tricks" on the recordings. The cover was a photograh staged the same way the Beatles posed for a 1963 English publicity picture - only this time they had long hair, beards, moustaches and hippy clothes.

I hearit now. I guess I thought that the keyboard part was actually George's guitar part. oopsidoodle.

And there were actually four performances on the roof. There was a warm up version, which was dreadful. Then there was a second one, which was sloppy, but spirited. The third is, arguably, the best, with paul giving a little tug on his bass before he count in. Billy Preston flubbed his solo, which is the only error I hear in it. The third was bland, but sweet, and then the fourth was the final one, which is the most spirited, though very sloppy.Loretta - Liverpool, England

At the very end of the song you can hear Maureen Starkey clap loudly and scream "yay". Then Paul McCartney says "Thanks Mo", refering to her. At which point John Lennon, always so clever and off the cuff, says "On behalf of the group ourselves, I hope we passed the audition".Christopher - Greenfield Center, Ny

Loretta, there were two performances of Get Back in the rooftop set -- one at the beginning and one at the end. During the second one, someone turns off the guitar amps because the cops were there to shut the whole thing down.had myriad ties to Hawaii at about the same time the society began operating and when its founder was bolstering his collection of printed materials.

The founder of the American Antiquarian Society was a printer named Isaiah Thomas. Born poor, later an indentured servant, he came to believe in the transformative power of the written word to elevate the character of individuals and society itself, according to historian Philip Gura.

A fiery revolutionary who was attracting too much attention from British loyalists, Thomas moved to Worcester to protect his treasured printing press from damage or destruction at the hands of marauding British troops. This was a serious threat — in 1814, the British burned the U.S. Capitol to the ground, destroying the nascent Library of Congress.

Over


the years, as Thomas’ business prospered, he began collecting books and old newspapers that would otherwise be thrown away. He wanted to create a history of publishing in America.

One of his first big purchases, in 1791, was an already-rare copy of the Indian Bible, translated by missionary John Eliot into Algonquin, published between 1661 and 1663. Thomas paid $7.50 at the time. A similar copy of the same book sold for $167,500 in 1999.

In 1812, Thomas established the American Antiquarian Society to house his burgeoning collection. At that time, according to Gura, Worcester had 2,500 residents and contained only about 120 houses, a courthouse, a jail and a schoolhouse. Like-minded scholars joined Thomas as members of his society.

Meanwhile, Worcester became a center of whatis called the Second Great Awakening, an evangelical movement that swept the Northeastern United States in the early-1800s. Many young college-educated men and women, mostly from rural areas of New England, found a religious calling to preach the gospel overseas. The small-but-aspiring city of Worcester produced a number of these youths, and a number of older people who were willing to give money to send them off.

Unknown Heir To A Throne

About that same time, hundreds of young Hawaiian men were pouring into New England after signing on in Hawaii as crewmembers aboard American merchant vessels or whale ships. Several turned up in central Massachusetts, and one Worcester resident in particular drew a flurry of attention.

It turned out that a young man named George Humehume, also known by the


last names of Prince and Tamoree (spellings at the time were erratic) was an alii, the son of the king of Kauai, Kaumualii. He had been sent abroad for an education, but the man charged with caring for him went broke and died. Young Humehume wound up working as a laborer near Worcester, where he fell out of touch with other Hawaiians.

Humehume fought in the War of 1812 on the American side. His identity came to light when he was discovered working in a Boston-area shipyard by Hawaiians who knew who he was. The story created a sensation, appearing as front page news all over the country, including in Worcester, where residents noted that he had once lived among them, the unknown heir to a throne.

The evangelical societies decided to send missionaries to Hawaii, and it occurred to them it would be best if the missionaries were accompanied by Hawaiians who could vouch for them in the islands. And if one of the young men had important social standing back home and could help pave the way for the missionaries, so much the better. Humehume turned out to be perfect for this task.

Another link between Hawaii and Worcester came in the person of the Rev. Jedidiah Morse, a geologist and minister in the Boston area who was publisher of a newspaper called the Panoplist, or the Missionary Herald. He chronicled the advances of the missionary movement, including in Hawaii. Morse joined the Antiquarian Society during its first year, and a full set


of the newspapers he produced about the missionary movement, including the immigration to Hawaii, are housed here.

Morse enlisted his own son, a young man who was a painter, to draw pictures of four of the young Hawaiian men, including Humehume, on a pamphlet that they circulated around New England as a fund-raising tool. The son, Samuel F. B. Morse, depicted the four with romantic Lord Byronesque visages, and money began to flow into the enterprise.

A copy of that pamphlet is still housed today at the archive, along with copies of the newspapers that touted the story.

The younger Morse, meanwhile, didn’t do that well as a painter but found eventual success as the inventor of the telegraph.

Shipping Over A Printing Press

The first party of missionaries to Hawaii included twoministers, a half-dozen teachers, a doctor and four Hawaiians including Humehume. In addition — most notably for the eventual collection at the Antiquarian Society — there was a printer, his wife who was a bookbinder, and a broken-down, second-hand printing press.

An officer on the ship who transported them all, James Hunnewell, was there at the print shop in Hawaii on the day the first objects came off the press, and he retained a lifelong interest in the items that it produced, asking to be given one copy of each imprint.

Courtesy of American Antiquarian Society

In the next few decades, some 30 million pages of material were printed in the islands, much of it in the Hawaiian language. Hunnewell returned to New England, got rich and carefully preserved the items


sent to him from Hawaii. At the end of his life he had amassed a huge collection and his heirs gave it to the Antiquarian Society.

Other large collections were given to the society from the personal libraries of missionaries Hiram Bingham and Samuel Damon.

“The story of printing in Hawaii is a remarkable one,” said Pope. “The people of Hawaii expressed an intense desire for palapala — a Hawaiian word that can mean literacy or reading, writing and printing — from the moment the first printing press arrived in 1820. Within a couple decades, the first newspaper west of the Rocky Mountains was started … By the 1840s the literacy rate was one of the highest in the world. Some claimed it was even higher than in New England.”

Overthe years, much of the printing and engraving was done by Hawaiians, who became more skilled at operating the presses than the Americans, according to Pope.

‘Not All Of Us Can Get To The Islands’

Pope is from Connecticut and didn’t know much about the islands when she found herself the steward of the Hawaiian collection, along with many other items at the archive. She joined the staff in 2004 and in 2012 became curator of books.

Although she has never been to the islands, she has found herself particularly fascinated by the items from Hawaii. In the past few years, she has learned a lot about Hawaiian history through the printed materials she cares for and shares with visiting scholars.

In early November, Pope gave a talk at the famous Skinner


doctor’s told her that her time was running out, but the woman never stopped! She went on with her life as though she would live forever. I remember it like it was yesterday, one of the strongest moments I have ever seen, we were in Grandma Rose’s hospital room when the doctor told her we had come to the end and there was nothing more that could be done. The doctor began to cry and Grandma Rose, just told that she had weeks to live, was comforting the doctor and sharing her faith. That blood runs through your veins my child.

The second woman had a profound impact on my life from infancy until September 2009 and that was my Aunt Judy. I was blessed to have her inlife wasn’t very happy the last 10 years for various reasons, but the one thing you must know about her, was that her love was unconditional and she was devoted to those she loved. In fact it is safe to say that her life was cut short because she put the wants and needs of others before her own. It was said at Aunt Judy’s funeral that she loved two things… 1) yelling at Uncle Bill and 2) being with her family. I would challenge you with a 3rd and 4th…. she had the biggest most giving heart and she loved the Lord. She carried her Bible (that I bought her) every where she went. It would be yours today had she not chosen to be buried with


Stepping Into Other Worlds

Virtual Reality and off world accessibility pioneers of the 1990’s

In 1962 imaginations were sparked, the first experience that could only be produced in a “virtual” environment was created. That of course was the ground breaking Spacewar! on the DEC PDP. The premise of the game was to fly your ship through space and battle your human opponent. Processing speeds limited the ability for an AI opponent, non the less, the first virtual environment was born.

Fast forward approximately 25 years and the computing landscape had changed, power previously only found in institutions and business had found it’s way into the home in the form of the Commodore Amiga, Atari ST and Apple Macintosh. Alternate realities inside a computer screen were commonplace, with a little imagination, newbrought to the desktop unlike anything else.“ The graphic enhancements introduced to the developer, meant celestial objects in this astronomy program could have 9 varying degrees of brightness. Truly a step forward in computer planetarium display capabilities.

Originally released in April, 1987 under the title “DigiSky” and then “Galileo” for the Commodore Amiga 1000. Galileo, continued to be sold until late 1988. In early 1989 when the then current publisher, Infinity went bankrupt, Mr. Smithwick had to find a new means of distribution. In the course of shopping for a new publisher, it was discovered that Infinity had failed to secure the trademark Galileo.

The name Distant Suns was born from a Usenet poll and a new publisher was found – Virtual Reality Labs, Inc. Added to the performance garnered


from a 512kb Amiga, Distant Suns had a strong sales run and won several awards, these strengths would lead to Commodore using the program in their marketing collateral, touting the capabilities of the Amiga system.

Eventually, Distant Suns would be ported over to the Apple Macintosh and Windows 3 operating system, on the Microsoft platform it would become the first astronomy application for Windows.
Distant Suns would continue through the restructuring of the new publisher and the evolution of the home computer for the next 20 years until the invention of the smart phone, where it still resides today. A very impressive track record for a program that started life on an Amiga 1000 over 30 years ago.

Distant Suns 3.0 for Windows

A note for present day classic Amiga users:Trying towas capable of producing stunning landscapes from randomly generated numbers or from USGS DEM (Digital Elevation Model) files. Not only was data for North America and famous natural landmarks included, but also data for regions and canyons on Mars, collected by NASA spacecraft. A gift of the software from the developer, John Hinkley led Arthur C. Clarke to favor the application in the writing of “The Snows of Olympus”. Later, the author flew one of the developers to his house in Sri-Lanka to assist him in the setup and running of the program (comp.sys.amiga.advocacy).

Vistapro inspired artists, writers and hobbyists alike.

As easy as it was to produce vivid scenes on relatively inexpensive hardware, the software also found it’s way into academic and government use. Field offices of the U.S
