always likely to be gone by the end of day two, but may now be an early second-round pick with all of the talented junior backs that decided to go back to school.

Elusiveness. He isn’t the fastest running back, but he’s very elusive for how stocky of a build he has. He has quick feet and a natural quick twitch to him. His spin move is lethal, and he has very good jump cuts. He knows when to beat one or split two. Gets North/South. pic.twitter.com/weoNQnJi67 — JWack (@JaredWackerlyFF) November 1, 2019

Ke’Shawn Vaughn (RB – Vanderbilt)

Ke’Shawn Vaughn is a redshirt senior who transferred from Illinois to Vanderbilt. His age hurts his draft stock, but his production and tape will make him an interesting prospect for teams looking fora potential starter in the third round or later. Vaughn had a solid freshman season in which he ran for 723 yards and had 119 receiving yards off 16 receptions. However, he saw just 69 touches as a sophomore as he fell behind fellow 2020 draft prospect Reggie Corbin on the depth chart. He would transfer to Vanderbilt but had to sit out what would have been his junior season in 2017. He would return to the field to post a 157-1244-12-7.9 rushing line with a 13-170-2 receiving line as a redshirt junior and followed that up with a 198-1028-9-5.2 rushing line with a 28-270-1 receiving line as a senior. On tape, Vaughn is a talented, physical runner who consistently fights for extra yards, a running style that


the tape and skill set to be drafted to be an immediate starter, but will likely need to have a good combine to avoid being put in a position where he has to compete for a committee role. With that being said, he will be one of the more talented running backs in the league and should be able to quickly ascend most NFL depth charts. He should hear his name called by the end of day two.

Eno Benjamin (RB – Arizona State)

Eno Benjamin is a talented running back that profiles as the potential lead back in a committee. He has thehis draft stock by displaying soft hands and the instant burst to be a difference-maker in the passing game. Perine is likely headed to a committee role in the NFL but could be a lead back if he lands on the right depth chart. He was solid in 2018 with 826 rushing yards, seven touchdowns, 13 receptions, 170 receiving yards, and two more scores through the air. He took a step back as a runner with 676 rushing yards and six touchdowns in 2019, but that can be attributed to starting offensive tackles Jawaan Taylor and Martez Ivey both leaving for the NFL. His 40 receptions for 262 receiving yards and two touchdowns is what has NFL scouts talking.

Former Florida RB Lamical Perine just scored the first touchdown

June 5, 2016 Highland Park, Macalester-Groveland, Summit-University/Rondo, North End, Como 19 miles

This ride featured significant stops in five neighborhoods. First, Highland Park where I spotted what strikes me as a house with a mullet because it’s all business in the front and a party in the back.

Macalester-Groveland

Grand Avenue plus the first Sunday in June equals Grand Old Day. Many pedestrians were strolling in the street along the 1300 block of Grand. The associated food and music of Grand Old Day, however, was not in the immediate area.

What a fitting day to talk to a Grand Avenue homeowner – like Eileen Clift – about life on that street. She and husband Adam were hosting a Grand Old Day party when I stopped. They’ve had a Grand Old Day partyevery year they’ve lived on Grand except once when they were out of town. The Clifts average about 75 guests at the Grand Old Day soiree, with as many as 100 on occasion.

The story of how the Clifts purchased 1389 Grand could make one believe in fate. The year was 2000 and it was a sellers market, so much so that Eileen had given up after an unfulfilling year of searching.

Even so – perhaps out of habit – Eileen glanced at the open house listings one Sunday. “At that time you used the paper when you looked for open houses. I opened it up and I just couldn’t help it. There were three houses I needed to drive by.” They quickly crossed the first two houses off their


Day as a celebration like July 4. “You have a parade in front of your house and it’s an excuse to have a party, an excuse to invite friends over. They love living on this street.”

The Martin Luther King Multiservice Center building at 270 Kent and Iglehart, Brutalist in style, houses a couple of historically significant organization in the African American community. The Hallie Q. Brown Center was founded in 1929 as a settlement house for African Americans who were refused service by other agencies.

The name for the community center was selected through an essay contest in which entrants were asked to write about an outstanding leader. The winning composition about Civil Rights and women’s suffrage activist Hallie Q. Brown was written by a Hamline University student.

Formany years, Hallie Q. Brown has offered its services, which today include early childhood education, youth enrichment, senior citizen programs and a food shelf, to all who live around the Summit-University area. The Hallie Q. Brown website has much more about the organization.

Founding Director Lou Bellamy, who sought to create an outlet for Black actors, playwrights and audiences, opened the Penumbra Theatre in the Martin Luther King Center in 1976. The 250 seat theater has impacted the theater world far beyond its size. August Wilson, a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, is among the many successful playwrights whose careers began at the Penumbra.

Less than a mile to the north at Western and St. Anthony Avenues, is the Ober Community Center, another fixture of the old Rondo neighborhood.

Established as the


Ober Boys Club in 1940 by the St. Paul Union Gospel Mission, it gave boys in the Rondo neighborhood a place for sports and other supervised activities, and take bible classes.

Many of the same activities remain popular at Ober Community Center today, and girls are welcome as well. Homework help and Christian spiritual development are offered.

North End

Two interesting structures at the intersection of Front Avenue and Farrington Street.

Willow Reserve along Maryland Avenue is the name for both these lots slated for Habitat for Humanity single family homes and a nearby park reserve.

Willow Reserve has been both farm land and natural growth and wetlands over the past 100 years. It is surrounded by Maryland Avenue on the south, Arundel Street to the east, Virginia Street on the west, andon the north by the curving run of the BNSF tracks.

According to the Capitol Region Watershed District, almost 19 of the 23 acre Willow Reserve is wetlands. In addition to being a habitat for migratory birds, part of the Reserve holds a storm water retention pond.

Plans call for trail improvements and other upgrades to Willow Reserve to make it more usable. Everything you want to know about Willow Reserve Park and more is at The Capitol Region Watershed District website. Willow Reserve is another place I’ll visit on a future ride for deeper exploration and to check on park upgrades.

Interfaith leader named a Common Good Hero

Tarah Trueblood has a new title — Common Good Hero. The director of the Interfaith Center received the honor at the Atlantic Institute’s annual Peace and Dialogue Awards Dinner last month.

Nominated in an essay by graduate student, Fulterius King, Trueblood was celebrated for the positive impact she’s had on King and so many other students at the University of North Florida.

The essay contest, "Humans of Jacksonville: Untold Stories of Unsung Heroes," was open to students


from UNF, Jacksonville University, Edward Waters College and Florida State College of Jacksonville. King said when he read about the award, Trueblood immediately came to mind. "Tarah is the epitome of a devoted leader," he said in his nomination. "She empowers students and shows concern about their wellbeing."

King got to know Trueblood working as an intern in the Interfaith Center. "I am so grateful to know Tarah and have her as a mentor," King wrote. He said Trueblood empowered him to become a leader on campus and she continues to provide constructive support whenever he needs it.

The contest is unique in that it recognizes both the nominator and the nominee. Trueblood says she won a lovely trophy but was especially excited because King received a cash prize. Kingconsiders Trueblood his most significant role model during his time in college.

UNF students win funding for social change

By Isabel Pease

UNF junior Courtney Lynch believes that college students have a role to play in their community. She also believes that they can have a significant impact on high-school students and college readiness. Last month, a panel of judges agreed with her and awarded a $5,000 grant to help Lynch put in motion a mentoring plan for 10th grade students at Terry Parker High School.

The grant was part of a pilot initiative between United Way of Northeast Florida and the University of North Florida. The initiative, Upstream, empowers college students to seek solutions to community challenges.

Tied for first place with Lynch were seniors Jessica Stephens and Dayna Cohen, who

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, Smith now lives and works in upstate New York. Her work is inspired by the vast nature of “things” that we consume and discard, which resonate on a personal and social scale. The graffiti of her youth, Japanese calligraphy and abstraction are influences from which she extracts “the graceful and spiritual qualities in written word and the everyday.” Smith’s work has been widely exhibited at prestigious venues such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Denver Art Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art in Wisconsin, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Contemporary Arts CenterNew Orleans, the New Museum in New York, MOMA/PS1 in New York, and the Studio Museum in Harlem, among others. Smith earned her B.F.A. (1992) and M.F.A. (2003) from Maryland Institute College of Art, where she now serves on the Board of Trustees, and her master’s degree in teaching (2000) from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and Tufts University, both in Massachusetts.

How purines relate to uric acid metabolism and consequently gout

Uric acid is the final product after the complete breakdown of purines. The production of uric acid as a byproduct of the breakdown of purines is a normal process, and the uric acid also has some very important uses in the body. However, when there is excess breakdown of the purines, what follows in is excess levels of uric acid in the body and when the uric acid accumulates, they can get crystalized and become deposited in the joints, kidney, tendons and other organs leading to a myriad of problems, including aggravating gout condition.

According to her complaint, Alice Camarillo, who is legally blind but is able to read enlarged writing at a very close distance, frequently patronizes the fast food restaurants near her home that are owned and operated by defendants. Defendants' restaurants do not have large print menus that Camarillo can read, and when she has asked for employees to read her the menu items, she has been made fun of, stared at, and forced to wait until other customers behind her in line were served, and the employees have often read her only part of the menus. Based on these alleged actions, Camarillo filed claims against defendants under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, 42 U.S.C. § 12182 ("ADA"), and New York Executive Law


read menu items only if they are printed in a large typeface and she holds the menu directly in front of her eyes. Compl. ¶ 15. Camarillo frequently patronizes the fast food restaurants owned and operated by defendants: the Burger King restaurants in Catskill and Hudson, New York, operated by defendant Carrols Corp.; the McDonald's restaurants in Catskill and Cairo, New York, operated by defendant Magliocca Stores, Inc.; the McDonald's restaurant in Hudson, New York, operated by defendant Reeher Majik, Inc.; the Taco Bell restaurant in Kingston, New York, operated by defendant El Rancho Foods, Inc.; and the Wendy's restaurant in Hudson, New York, operated by defendant Wendonie, LLC.
Camarillo alleges that she received largely similar treatment at all of defendants' restaurants. Because none of the restaurants has large-printbreakfast pouch, he stumbled out of his tenement and headed for the tram. The lower-ring of Maxson Station was a tumult of commuters. Office lackeys, stardock workers, even schoolchildren all rushed toward the same single point where the tram-rails ran at the center of the common chamber. Tom tried to ignore the fact that the sheer amount of people breathing in the open area was making the air thick and humid. It made him sick, remembering just how many people were crammed inside this small tube of metal and he often fantasized about what life would have been like had he been born on a planet or a moon instead.

While he was waiting for the blue line to arrive, someone tapped at his shoulder. Tom turned around to


hell.

The minutes were hours, the hours days, and every time Tom took a seat in front of his drone console in the morning it felt as though he wasn’t going to be able to get up without leaving a piece of his soul behind. But alas, the credits must flow, and after dropping out of the Academy this was it, unless he wanted to go off-station and abandon PJ. So he sent his courier drone from Maxson Station to the violet gas-giant they were orbiting and brought it back, tanks full of purple gas. Then it was rinse and repeat for twelve hours.

There was, at least, a small respite. Between the sixth and seventh hour of the collection cycle everyone in Tom’s section of cubicles was allowed athirty minute lunch break. Tom’s co-workers took this time to roll their chairs out into the hallway and chat about the new VRs they’d gotten or the troupes that would be coming in with the next freighter run. Tom only ever joined them if politely coerced by Marge or Holmes, and even then only for as long as he had to to keep from becoming the office pariah. It wasn’t that they were bad people, it was just that lunchtime was his only opportunity to work on the Sun-Skimmer.

It was something he and PJ had designed together in their last days at Academy. A schooner-class vessel with just enough space for the two of them, a dog, and maybe a Khakian servant down the line. The two of


piloting console waiting for her inside.

The rest of the day proceeded with little incident, the only hiccup being a volatile storm that had pealed through the swath of planet that Tom had been assigned. But even that was a welcome distraction from the dull, near autonomic flight to and from the planet’s atmosphere. When his twelve hours had finished he stalked slowly back toward the tram and rode it back down to the stuffy lower-ring again. He was halfway back to his apartment when he remembered that the breakfast pouch he’d grabbed that morning had been his last and kicked himself as he turned and started to swim in the opposite direction of the multitudes, toward the grocery.

When he finally made it to the front of the checkouthis bed out from the wall, and flopped down on it face-first. After a long while of lying motionless, he entertained the notion of putting on his VR suit and either touring the UOS Grissom for the hundredth time or having a go at one of the handful of exotic human-hybrid women that had come in the cartridge he’d shamefully splurged on about a week after PJ left. But in the end he was too tired for either, so he dimmed the lights, pulled the covers over himself, and grabbed the long pad of paper he kept beneath his pillow and the pen that went with it.

He scratched an “X” across the day’s date, then stared at the calendar for a long time. There was a little over

From there, she started fitness modeling and eventually fell in love with training others. She appeared on American Gladiators in 2008 and she has been a trainer on NBC’s The Biggest Loser since 2015.

little action in her case because authorities gave precedence to prosecuting the other woman.

Garrard's son Robert Hardin was working in Pakistan as a State Department contractor at the time of Savannah's death, leaving Jessica Hardin to deal with Savannah and their younger son. Garrard testified that Hardin is no longer is with her son, but it wasn't clear during testimony exactly what has become of the woman.

When jurors listened to a recording of the 911 call that followed Savannah's collapse at her rural home, Hardin's voice was the first thing they heard from the scene.

"My daughter had a seizure," she told an operator. The operator asks what happened, but Hardin never mentions the hours of running that authorities contend led to the girl's death.

Three days later in adramatically, two of their three European seats in the 26 counties have been lost (confirmed on Wednesday after the recount was completed, that the SF seat in South Constituency was lost to the Greens).

Dublin collapse

In Dublin, where they topped the poll in the last Euro elections, their vote this time fell from just under 25% to less than 10%, despite a popular, effective and well-liked candidate in Lynn Boylan. The party also lost control of Dublin City Council, where they lost half of their seats. This decline was repeated in the other urban areas like Cork, Limerick and Waterford. Right across the 26 counties the story was the same, even in their hinterland constituencies along the border. The party's vote was decimated, as they were effectively abandoned by


an electorate clearly tired of Sinn Fein's zigzagging on major issues. From the Dublin European election count, it was clear that people looking for a fighting left candidate abandoned Sinn Fein in favour of socialist campaigner Clare Daly, whilst the soft left element of the Sinn Fein vote was hoovered up by the Greens. The fact that climate change has been front and centre in the news of late obviously contributed to the "Green wave", this despite the fact that the Irish Greens are well to the right of many of their European sister parties.

Coalition: a poisoned chalice

Perhaps most damaging of all for Sinn Fein, was the leadership-inspired decision at the last Ard Fheis (Annual Delegate Conference), to support entry into coalition with either of the major right-wingits traditional republican base for the party's shameful capitulation on issues like wearing the poppy, as well as participation in commemorative events marking the imperialist slaughter of World War 1. Designed to appeal to the Southern middle class, these issues do not sit easily with the party's grassroots activists and supporters. This element of the vote has been with the party through thick and thin. But no longer, as Sinn Fein career all over the road on what were once issues of principle.

The Adams Factor

In the period leading up to the retirement of Gerry Adams, after almost 35 years at the helm as Sinn Fein President, all the talk was of the new possibilities under Mary-Lou McDonald. It was felt by some party strategists that for some time


Adams' Northern IRA roots were an obstacle to consolidating the party's new image across the 26 counties, as a centre-left, fully constitutional, parliamentary party, with only a passing resemblance to the radical anti-imperialist politics of bygone days. But the expected bounce under Mary Lou McDonald never materialised. On the contrary, amongst traditional republican voters and former activists, there was suspicion of the new direction under the new leadership. For the republican base, the Adams-McGuinness leadership, despite presiding over the drift to the centre, still had the whiff of cordite, and a close association with "The Army" (the IRA) which the new leadership in Dublin doesn't have. This was especially clear in last year's Presidential election campaign, where the Sinn Fein candidate Liadh Ni Raida came in sixth on6.7% of the vote, with less than half the votes achieved by the late Martin McGuinness in 2011, when the party came in third on 13.7%.

Poppygate

It was O'Raida who famously committed to wearing the poppy during a Presidential electoral debate, in a statement that caused widespread consternation amongst the party's supporters. Immediately, other senior figures in the party denied that they would wear the poppy in any circumstances. But the damage had been done, and a considerable portion of the electorate saw the whole debacle as evidence of an established Sinn Fein tactic, of speaking out of both sides of their mouth at the same time. Not only has the Mary-Lou "bounce" failed to materialise, under her leadership the whole electoral project has been greatly diminished. The only


Next". Yet when it came to the Sinn Fein election manifesto in the North in the May local and European elections, the abortion issue wasn't even mentioned. Party strategists were clearly afraid to haemorrhage votes to the new Aontu party, a Catholic anti-abortion grouping led by Peadar Tobin, a former Sinn Fein member of the Dublin Parliament who was expelled for campaigning against the party's position during the abortion referendum.

It's clear that there are differences on the issues amongst senior figures North and South. These are significant fault lines for a party which seems to have become unsure of where to go next. The fact is, without a serious change of direction the party could lose at least half of its record 23 Dail seats achieved under thedischarged his weapon through Strickland's front door, mortally wounding Strickland.

Solar Energy’s Dividend King Comes Through Again

When 8point3 Energy Partners(NASDAQ:CAFD) launched in 2015, it was built to be a dividend stock investors could rely on for the long term. The company primarily buys large, utility-scale solar projects with long-term contracts to sell energy to utilities, and the sun that powers its projects is highly predictable as an energy resource. With First Solar(NASDAQ:FSLR) and SunPower(NASDAQ:SPWR) as sponsors, the company was also a little shielded from the shenanigans that nearly broughtTerraForm Power Inc(NASDAQ:TERP) to its knees.

When performing surgery of the posterior segment of the eye, as in vitreoretinal surgery, it is typically necessary to view the anatomy of the eye with an operating microscope and an ophthalmoscopy lens designed to provide a clear image of the posterior segment. Generally, a standard operating microscope is able to view the structures of the anterior segment of the eye and the anterior portion of the posterior segment of the eye, but cannot adequately view the entire posterior segment of the eye because the natural optics of the eye (i.e., the cornea and the lens) prevent the operating microscope from focusing on some structures in the

Wanting to pursue his passion for aircraft design, Beech resigned his position and in April 1932 moved to Witchita, Kansas where he and his wife, Olive Anne, formed the Beech Aircraft Company. Renting space in the idle Cessna plant and with less than twenty employees Beech set about designing a luxury executive aircraft, seven months later on November 4, 1932 the first prototype flew. As the last Travel Air aircraft built had been the Model 16, Beech chose to follow the numerical sequence and gave his new aircraft the name Beech Model 17.

Designed by


Ted Wells, the prototype Model 17R was a sleek hand crafted biplane with a steel-tube fuselage and wing spar structure, an innovative feature in the days when wooden wing spars were considered the norm. The fuselage had wooden stringers and formers and was covered with a fabric skin while the upper and lower wings utilized wooden truss ribs and also were fabric covered. The faired landing gear was fixed and the aircraft was powered by a 420-hp Wright R-760 engine which, combined with exceptional streamlining, gave it a top speed of over 200 mph while still managing a 60 - 65 mph landing speed. By far the most unusual and distinguishing feature of the aircraft was the unusual wing layout with the upper wing being inversely staggered almost26 inches behind the lower wing. Not only did this help with the aircraft's stall characteristics and main gear location but also to assisted the pilot's visibility from the cockpit. This wing layout also led to the Model 17's better known name, the Staggerwing. The story goes that in January 1933 the aircraft was sent to a Miami air show where it won the Texaco Trophy. During a high-speed run the air show commentator said, "look at that negative staggerwing Beechcraft go" and the name stuck.

The performance of the 17R was remarkable; it could outperform all single engine pre-war light aircraft as well as many American pursuit (fighter) aircraft. However, despite earning praise from many people, high cost and tricky ground handling made it difficult to sell and


with only one aircraft on the books and no potential customers on the horizon it became obvious to Beech that some compromises in design and performance had to be made if the Beech Aircraft Company was to stay in business. With an eye on the lucrative corporate market, Beech demonstrated the 17R to Tom Loffland who ran an oil drilling company in Oklahoma and had shown an interest in the aircraft during the construction stage. Loffland was suitably impressed and a deal was struck where he paid a large deposit for a second aircraft and also paid the Beech payrolls while it was being constructed. Work started on the second Model 17 early in 1933 and by July of the same year the finished aircraft was delivered toits new owner.

Apart from its tricky take off, landings and ground handling everyone who flew the Model 17 loved it and despite the fact that only two aircraft had been produced in as many years, with only one of these being sold, Beech began work on a new version of the aircraft. This was the Model B17L, introduced in March1934, and while it retained the same general design as the Model 17R it did introduce some modifications, the most obvious being fully retractable pneumatically operated landing gear. Other changes included the use of wooden wing spars instead of metal and wings of a different airfoil. The power plant was changed to a 225-hp Jacobs R-755D L-4 which, when combined with improvements in streamlining and weight reduction, gave the


was introduced to the tailplane to keep the tail down while landing and the main gear was shortened to reduce the possibility of a ground loop. Other than these changes, the C17 was identical to the B17 version including the choice of engines (with the C17B, E, L and R having the same power plants as the respective B17s). The changes to the aircraft did not solve the problems however the C17 proved itself to be a winner in air racing with wins and places in several major races. A Model C17R (NC15835) piloted by Louise Thaden and Blanche Noyes won the 1936 transcontinental Bendix Trophy Race, the first time a woman had won this normally male dominated event.

Introduced in 1937, the Model D17 saw the first majorother Staggerwings.

Although designed as a civil aircraft, the outbreak of the Second World War saw large numbers of the D17S ordered by the United States Army Air Force (USAAF) and United States Navy (USN) as personnel transport, liaison and communication aircraft (several B17Ls had previously been impressed for use as bombers during the Spanish civil war). Designated UC-43, 207 aircraft were delivered to the USAAF while the USN received 63 where they were re-designated the GB-1 and GB-2. In addition to those that had been ordered directly from Beech, a further 117 were impressed from the private sector. The Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm also received a total of 106 aircraft under the terms of the lend-lease programme between the United States and Britain. Staggerwings serving


with the RAF and FAA were renamed the Traveller. Various other nations, including New Zealand, made use of local aircraft for military duties. In New Zealand, a Model C17L (ZK-AEU, c/n107) was impressed from the Auckland Aero Club by the RNZAF in October 1939 and allocated to the Communications Flight at Rongotai as NZ573. It was released to the Auckland Aero Club and registered as ZK-AJS in May 1945.

Production of the Staggerwing ended in 1948 with the 450-hp Pratt and Whitney R-985 Wasp Junior powered Model G17S. Based on the Model D17, it featured a few improvements that had been put on hold during the war. The engine cowl, windshield and landing gear doors were altered to reduce drag, larger tail surfaces were fitted and an even moreluxurious interior was installed. The last aircraft left the Beech factory in 1949, during the 16 years the aircraft was in production a total of 785 were built with the majority of these being the Model D17S.

The aircraft pictured here (ZK-AMU, c/n 203) is a Model D17S and is the second Staggerwing to fly in New Zealand. It was built in April 1938 and first used by the Canadian Department of Transport in Ottawa. After many years service with Canada's Controller of Civil Aviation, the aircraft sold in the 1950's and went through a series of owners in Canada before being left derelict after it's certificate of airworthiness expired at the end of 1958. A rebuild of the aircraft to airworthy condition began in 1972 and was to


continue, on and off, for 13 years. By the time the aircraft returned to the air in April 1985, it featured some non-standard Model D17S equipment and fittings such as GPS, full IFR capabilities, autopilot, a starboard door and modified landing gear.

In 1994 the aircraft was purchased from an air ranch in Florida by it's current New Zealand owners, moved to California, dismantled and shipped to New Zealand. On arrival it was reassembled and registered as ZK-AMU on November 29, 1995 followed, on December 8 of the same year, by a New Zealand Certificate of Airworthiness. It is currently based at Auckland's North Shore.SINGAPORE - A 54-year-old woman was charged on Monday (Oct 28) with the murder of a 63-year-old man, believed to be her husband.

The incident took place in the early hours of Sunday and was the first of two murder cases that day.

Appearing handcuffed and in a red polo T-shirt and dark shorts at the State Courts, Chinese national Wang Shuzhen was accused of killing Mr Teh Hock Pine some time between 5am and 6.02am.

She will be back in court on Nov 18, following a three-week psychiatric assessment at Changi Prison. Police said they had responded to a case of unnatural death at Block 633 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6 at 5.46am on Sunday.

Mr Teh was pronounced dead by paramedics and Wang was arrested at the scene.

While court papers


did not state how Mr Teh was killed, Chinese evening daily Lianhe Wanbao reported that he had been stabbed.

Mr Teh was a former policeman.

However, it is not known when he left the force.

In 2000, he held the rank of senior staff sergeant and received the Long Service Medal at the National Day Awards that year, a list on the website of the Prime Minister's Office showed.

When The Straits Times visited the scene at 9.30am on Sunday, a trail of bloody footprints was seen leading out from the third-floor unit into the common corridor.

The area outside the unit as well as the staircase leading up to the flat had been cordoned off.

According to housing records, the unit was owned by Mr Teh.

A 60-year-old neighbour said he had heard repeated "drum-like banging" coming from the flat around 5am on Sunday.

Neighbours also told ST that the couple had been living there for about two years.

They were often seen going to the hawker centre together and were also seen pushing a stroller with a toddler around the estate.

Lianhe Wanbao reported that the couple lived in the flat with their daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation hopes that the 35th anniversary won't arrive with the crime still unsolved: On Monday its director revealed a "critical piece of evidence": a cable repair ticket book. At a press conference, Director Stan Florence explained that the book's final ticket logs work completed at the Neilsons' apartment at 11:51am on the day of her death, reports the Norman Transcript. The book has no company name on it, the Oklahoman reports; in the bottom left corner of the ticket is a box where the employee signed off


on the work, and the ticket in question contains three letters.

"We want help in identifying those three letters, identifying who that person was that wrote in that book," said Florence. The ticket book has been in the bureau's possession for years; under a state law that was altered in 2011, the bureau finally had the ability to share the evidence with the public in hopes it will bring closure to the case. The bureau said it received a number of calls within a day of revealing the ticket. The Oklahoman reports that the 21-year-old's throat was cut, and she had been stabbed a number of times. There was no sign of forced entry, and a fingerprint found at the scene has proved a dead end. Eyewitnesses reported seeingThe FDA electronic smoke control will cause a lot of the black market

For the past several years, he's hosted five luncheons across Southwest Florida, each time partnering with a hospital or organization to give children and their families relief from their everyday struggles with a nice meal.

Harrison humbly said, "You can actually be a nobody, which I am, and do what I've done."

Harrison is originally from London but has lived in America for nearly 60 years and calls Lehigh Acres home.

Harrison isn't a stranger to giving back. At one time, he worked with comedy legend Bob Hope and helped organize his United Service Organizations tour overseas where Hope performed his variety shows for U.S. troops.

As a "thank you," Harrison got a chance to meet President Ronald Reagan and his wife Nancy during a dinner party at the White


House in 1982. And he had a photo to prove it.

He said he's still shocked he lived that moment in time.

He brought that photo and several others to Tuesday's luncheon. One showed him posing with country star Kenny Rogers and another with vocalist Tom Jones.

After lunch, children got a chance to win prizes such as movie tickets and fidget spinners. For fun, Harrison played a guessing game with them and had them try to guess how old he is and what year it was when he had dinner with President Reagan in order to get a prize.

Oregon started and finished signing week atop the class rankings by landing five top-33 prospects. UConn officially landed the No. 1 prospect in Paige Bueckers and, in the process, the No. 2 class.

Baylor and Syracuse also won big by each landing two top-11 prospects, with No. 7 Sarah Andrews and No. 9 Hannah Gusters headed to Waco and No. 5 Kamilla Cardoso and No. 11 Priscilla Williams on their way to join the Orange.

But those schools were not the only ones who won big during signing week. Here is a list of schools that hit the jackpot and some that missed out on improving their class.

Winners

Louisville

Louisville climbed into the top five of the


class rankings with a late commit, No. 8 prospect Hailey Van Lith, a silky-smooth lefty guard. The Cardinals also signed No. 18 Olivia Cochran, a gold medalist with Team USA's U18 3-on-3 team in the FIBA World Cup in 2018 and a physical dominator in the block. They also landed three-star guard Merissah Russell and top junior college guard Ahlana Smith, who transferred from UCLA to juco powerhouse Gulf Coast State and could contribute right away at Louisville next season.

Notre Dame

The Irish solidified themselves as the No. 3 recruiting class. Not only did they enter signing week with a group of four top-50 commits, but they also added Amirah Abdur-Rahim, the sister of former NBA player Shareef Abdur-Rahim. Once a top-60 prospect, Amirah Abdur-Rahim suffered a knee injuryher junior season just when she was turning the corner in her development, but she still has vast potential. She joins a Notre Dame class that also features No. 23 Madeline Westbeld, No. 25 Allison Campbell, No. 32 Natalija Marshall and No. 44 Alasia Hayes.

Rutgers

Rutgers is one of the biggest surprises in the recruiting class rankings for 2020. Legendary coach C. Vivian Stringer, who stepped away from the game to take time off and refresh, left the team to associate head coach Tim Eatman. The Scarlet Knights landed five prospects, notably No. 6-ranked Diamond Johnson, an agile guard with a scorer's mentality, and top-65 prospects in Chyna Cornwell and Sakima Walker, both frontcourt players with size, mobility and a shot-blocking presence. The Scarlet Knights also landed three-star guard


two players for 2020: No. 59 Destiny Salary, a 5-11 guard who is active off the glass, and three-star guard Tess Darby. The Lady Vols, in their first season under head coach Kellie Harper, probably would have wanted to get more, but this is a start. Darby, who grew up in Greenfield, Tennessee, will realize her dream of playing in Knoxville. She can shoot and gives Tennessee an athletic guard with size.

Yemeni officials said that Abdulmutallab was in Yemen from early August 2009, and overstayed his student visa (which was valid through September 21). He left Yemen on December 7 (flying to Ethiopia, and then two days later to Ghana). Yemeni officials have said that Abdulmutallab travelled to the mountainous Shabwah Province to meet

Hamlin was born in the year of the Gaspée Affair, a significant event that lead up to American Revolution. He died four years after the American Civil War in 1869. He served as a second lieutenant in the First Rhode Island militia in 1778. In 1795 when he started engraving he set up shop on North Main Street directly next door to St. John's church in Providence. He then made bank note plates. Hamlin published the first view of Providence, Rhode Island, in one of his engravings.

In many cases, the ship replacement payment plus the value of the in-game insurance actually exceeded the cost of the ship.

15-year-old suspected burglar freed from chimney of March Street home

BATON ROUGE – Authorities responded to a 15-year-old stuck in a chimney who is suspected of burglarizing a home on Friday morning.

The home is located in the 1700 block of March Street near June Street off of Dalrymple Drive. The fire department freed the teenager after several firefighters assisted in pulling him out. BRPD was also on the scene and handcuffed the teen once he was assisted off of the roof onto the ground.

An Orkin worker, Johnny Fontenot, arrived at the home to treat it for pests. Fontenot said he was working when he heard a noise and told the homeowner.

Ireland is a country united by geography and divided by history.

In James Joyce’s great novel Ulysses, Leopold Bloom, the main protagonist and an Irish Jew, describes a nation as “the same people living in the same place”.

But Ulster unionists have always regarded themselves as a people apart. They are Protestant and British, as opposed to those to a Catholic and nationalist identity who are a majority on the island of Ireland.

Northern Ireland has been described as the “last battleground of the Reformation”. In an increasingly secular world, religion is not such a factor, but the cultural and nationalistic reverberations which began when Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the cathedral door at Wittenberg still exist, and are at the heart of Irish fears over Brexit.

Before the 20thcentury

The story of the Irish Border began with the Plantations of Ulster in the 17th century.

Since the 12th century the British had retained a presence in Ireland mostly along the east coast around Dublin in an area known as the Pale. King Henry VIII’s break with the Catholic Church in 1534 added a sectarian dimension to the already fraught relationship between England and Ireland.

Ulster had been the most Gaelic Irish province in Ireland, but the dominant Catholic families, the O’Neills and O’Donnells, were defeated in the Nine Years War between the Catholic lords and the Protestant English crown.

In 1607 they fled to the European continent, in what became known as the


Flight of the Earls, leaving their lands behind them.

Their flight was followed by the plantation of Ulster designed to make the province quiescent to the crown. First Antrim and Down were planted by private settlers mostly from Scotland, then the remaining seven counties of Ulster – Derry, Tyrone, Donegal, Fermanagh, Cavan, Monaghan and Armagh – followed, attracting thousands of Protestant settlers from Scotland and the north of England.

Although the plantations never succeeded in fully dislodging the native Catholic Irish, the province took on a different character to the rest of Ireland, being predominantly Protestant and loyal to the crown.

Partition

The Border was the result of the partition of Ireland which occurred under theGovernment of Ireland Act (1920). This was an attempt by the British Government to reconcile two incompatible demands – the Irish nationalist demand for separation from Britain, and the unionist demand to remain part of the United Kingdom.

The Act set up two home-rule parliaments, one for six counties in Ulster and the other for the 26 counties which was the rest of Ireland. A third parliament or council was envisaged where matters of mutual concern or the reunification of Ireland under one jurisdiction would be concerned.

The Act was accepted by the unionists and the Northern Ireland parliament was set up in 1921 with jurisdiction over six counties: Antrim, Derry, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Armagh and Down.

Unionists wanted a Protestant majority into perpetuity and the counties of Donegal, Cavan and Monaghan with their large Catholic populations threatened that hegemony. They were excluded from the six-county parliament.

The Act was rejected by the nationalist south as home rule, which only gave an Irish parliament limited autonomy and not the full independence desired by the separatists in the IRA who were then fighting a guerrilla war against the British.

International Border

The Anglo-Irish Treaty of December 1921 which ended the War of Independence set up the Irish Free State for the remaining 26 counties of Ireland. The Irish State came into being in 1922.

This is now the Republic of Ireland which is a sovereign, independent state and a member of the EuropeanUnion.

On March 23rd, 1923 the Border became an international frontier. A notice issued by the British Commissioners of Customs and Excise stated that the land border would ensure all imports and exports were subject to the “customs laws and regulations applicable to overseas trade”.

The partition of Ireland left two minorities on either side of the Border; a small unionist one to the south and a substantial Catholic one to the north which wanted unification with the rest of Ireland.

Many Catholics in the North believed that Northern Ireland was, in the words of its first premier James Craig, “a Protestant parliament and a Protestant state” and they were subjected to discrimination when it came to employment, housing and education.

The Troubles

In 1969, violence broke out in Northern Ireland. Direct rule


from the British parliament in Westminster was imposed from 1972.

Borderlands A special investigation on Brexit & the Border Read More

The Provisional IRA waged a 25-year campaign to try and end British rule in Northern Ireland.

In the years between 1969 and 1994, 3,500 people lost their lives.

The Border between the Republic and Northern Ireland became a frontline. Border posts were regularly attacked. In August 1972 a bomb planted by the Provisional IRA blew up a customs post in Newry killing nine people, including the three IRA members who planted the bomb.

The main road between Dublin and Belfast was framed by a giant British armywatchtower near the border town of Newry.

The British sought to reduce the number of crossings to stop republican paramilitaries from moving back and forth across the road. The British blocked roads, made them impassable or blew up bridges. Hundreds of roads were closed during the Troubles cutting communities off on either side of the Border.

Two things ended the Border as a physical obstacle. The first was the introduction of the European Single Market in 1993 which ended all customs controls between member states of the European Union. The second was the end of the Troubles.

The Belfast Agreement

The Troubles officially ended in April 1998 with the signing of the Good Friday Agreement also known as the Belfast Agreement. It sought to create a new relationship between nationalists and unionists in Northern Ireland with the establishment of a power-sharing executive (cabinet) and assembly.

Cross-border organisations were set up to improve relations between North and the Republic and provision was also made for the strengthening of relations between Britain and Ireland.

The agreement sought to reconcile the twin identities of being British and Irish. It gave the right to anybody born on the island of Ireland to become a citizen of Ireland. It also enshrined the principle of consent – that a united Irelandcould not come about until a majority in Northern Ireland wanted it.

Politically the agreement has been in cold storage for the last two years as the two largest parties in Northern Ireland – the pro-Brexit Democratic Unionist Party and the nationalist Sinn Féin – refuse to share power with each other over a series of policy disagreements.

Fortunately, though, the Good Friday Agreement has kept the peace and the people of Ireland have enjoyed two decades without the sickening daily routine of murder and mayhem.

The last British watchtower was dismantled in 2005 and with it went


the last physical reminder of the Border in Ireland.

Now, to all intents and purposes, the Border is invisible. Only a change in road signs from kilometres in the Republic to miles in the North and the absence of bilingual signage (English and Irish in the Republic) in Northern Ireland denotes that the Border has been crossed.

Cross-border economy

This has led to a normalisation of the Border. Thanks to better roads, Dublin and Belfast are less than a two-hour car journey apart.

Visitors from the Republic can and do visit Belfast. The Northern Ireland tourism board’s campaigns are a regular feature on television and radio in the Republic.

Visitors from the North come south for therugby internationals, music events and holidays. There is also a body to set up to promote the island as a single destination called Tourism Ireland.

Yet tourism is only one aspect of the manner in which travel and commerce in Ireland has become effortless since the end of the Troubles.

Every day 6,000 lorries and 7,000 vans cross the Border. Nearly 30 per cent of all milk produced in Northern Ireland is processed in the south.

Indeed, a third of all Northern Ireland’s exports go to the Republic with businesses making 758,000 cross-Border deliveries southwards in 2016, compared with 410,000 deliveries from the Republic.

The peace process also meant better


relations between erstwhile protagonists. Dr Ian Paisley, traditionally one of the hardest of hardline unionists, and Martin McGuinness, a former member of the IRA, struck up an unlikely friendship while serving in the Northern Ireland executive together. In 2011 Queen Elizabeth II made a historic first visit to Ireland, a visit that would have been unthinkable a generation previously.

Most sports, with the exception of soccer, are cross-border. Fans can cheer for the all-Ireland rugby team which won the Six Nations last year, or the women’s hockey team that reached the World Cup final. The cricket team has had international success and the Ireland team that competes in the Olympics is drawn from the whole island.

Brexit

Brexit threatens all that. A year after the Brexit vote, British prime minister Theresato a majority of MPs.

Nobody in Ireland wants a hard border, not even the hardline Democratic Unionist Party, but that’s what we’ll have if an agreement cannot be reached.

The experiences in 19th- and 20th-century Europe shows what happens when people are caught on the wrong side of a border and history. The people living in Alsace-Lorraine changed nationality three times between 1871 and 1945.

Germany found itself arbitrarily divided after the second World War and family and communities cut off from each other by the Berlin Wall and the 1,400 km fence between West and East Germany.

“We must not go back to the borders of the past” has become a mantra in Ireland. A return to the frontiers of the past would be unthinkable in continental Europe yet it


films. To each of the other two rollers, which constitute the supply reels or take-up reels for recovering the film, there is, instead, fixed the other extreme end of each of the films, and an appropriate amount of film is pre-wound thereon.
The supporting roller or storage roller, which is appropriately driven by a specially designed motor, rotates and draws towards itself the films wound on the take-up reels, which usually exert a slight braking action in order to give the right tensioning on the film and hence achieve the right compactness of the film-banknote-film structure. Normally, the two films (one on top of and one underneath the banknote, which is enclosed between them) are identical as regards quality, type and thickness.
The banknotes are inserted individually in sequence betweenthe two films by winding the two films on the storage roller, whilst extraction of the banknotes is performed by unrolling the two films from the storage roller and rewinding them on each of the corresponding reels.
In other words, at the moment of deposit of the banknotes, the storage roller rotates in the direction of winding, draws towards itself the ribbons or films contained in the two supply rollers, and winds, together with the ribbons, also the banknotes that are enclosed therein, thus storing them in sequence around the supporting roller. At the moment of dispensing, the rollers with the supply of film rotate so as to rewind the film, and the storage roller consequently reverses its direction of rotation, thus bringing about extraction of the banknotes contained


fact that the exposed corners of the banknotes stored in the roller tend to lift up as a result of the tension of winding exerted by the films themselves, which act only at the centre of the roll. In order to overcome these drawbacks, there have been used, in some cases, two separate strips of film, set parallel and at a distance apart from one another, so as to cover the corners and to leave just the central part of the banknotes free from the film. This ensures that all the banknotes wound will not present dangerous protruding parts, since the side areas are pressed by the two films. The central part of the banknote, not covered by film, may consequently be used to favour detachment of thetwice the sum of the thicknesses of each of the two films and of the banknote. On the other hand, the diameter of the take-up reels decreases by twice the thickness of just one film.
The power of the motor that drives the storage roller must be sufficiently high to guarantee the capacity thereof to unwind film from the respective take-up reels both at the start of the process and at the end.
Consider, for example that the storage roller will be empty in the initial working condition, and hence with a minimum diameter, whilst the take-up reels are full of film, which corresponds to their maximum diameter. Consequently, the motor of the storage roller will start to work in conditions of favourable torque (in terms of force and work),


in so far as it must cause a roller of relatively small diameter to rotate and unwind film from the take-up reels that have relatively large diameters, given that all the film is still wound thereon.
As the machine proceeds to storage of the banknotes, the situation will undergo constant change to the disadvantage of the motor that pulls the storage roller, in so far as the latter's diameter increases rapidly as a result of the thickness of the two films and of the banknotes, whilst the diameter of the two reels of film decreases only in proportion to one layer of film. It should be borne in mind that normally the thickness of the films used is around 20-30 micron, whilst the thickness of a banknote is approximatelymore felt in devices that envisage insertion of the banknotes in the direction of their short side.
In addition to the above machines, a device according to the present invention finds application in equipment, such as timed safes used in a large number of branch banks and postal agencies, as well as in petrol stations and in general wherever there exists the need to deposit the excess of money to protect it from attempts at robbery or effraction and, at the same time, the need to supply money to operators (cashiers) when they have exhausted or reduced the supply present in the their cash-desks.
The machines so far used are substantially small safes equipped with a mouth designed to prevent the banknotes from being drawn out, through which the money


principles to the modern political realities in North Korea.2 Kim Il Sung and his son Kim Jong Il have successfully wielded the juche idea as a political shibboleth to evoke a fiercely nationalistic drive for North Korean independence and to justify policies of self-reliance and self-denial in the face of famine and economic stagnation in North Korea. Kim Il Sung envisioned three specific applications of juche philosophy: political and ideological independence, especially from the Soviet Union and China; economic self-reliance and self-sufficiency; and a viable national defense system.3 This paper begins with a discussion of the three key components of the juche ideology  political, economic and military independence  as promulgated by the DPRK. The second section is a discussion of the ideological origins of the juchephilosophy, followed by a third section on the philosophical bases of the juche idea. The paper concludes with an examination of juche as a political body of thought and an evaluation of the success with which juche policies have responded to the political and economic realities of North Korea. Key Components of the Juche Ideology The governing principles of juche were clearly expressed by Kim Il Sung in a speech entitled "Let Us Defend the Revolutionary Spirit of Independence, Self-Reliance, and Self-defense More Thoroughly in All Fields of State Activities," which he delivered to the Supreme People's Assembly on December 16, 1967. 4 In it, he declared that ...the Government of the Republic will implement with all consistency the line of independence, self-sustenance, and self-defense to consolidate the
